Margaret McLaughlin, who was a front seat passenger in the car, died in hospital from injuries she sustained in the crash which occurred at about 22:30 BST on Monday.
The 69-year-old's husband, who was driving the car, remains in hospital in a stable condition with injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.
A 20-year-old man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
In a tweet on Tuesday night, PSNI Strabane said he was due to appear at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
He has also been charged with having no driving licence and using a car without insurance.
The collision happened at the junction between the Urney Road and Great Northern Link - referred to locally as the Strabane bypass.
SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan said that Mrs McLaughlin, who was from the Strabane area, "was very well known and loved". | A woman has died following a collision between a car and a lorry in Strabane. | 39,701,953 | 206 | 24 | false |
Ahmed Jabbar Kareem Ali, who was 15, died in Basra in May 2003 after he was detained on suspicion of looting.
The British judge's report said Ahmed should never have been detained or made to enter the canal, and should have been rescued when he was "floundering".
The Ministry of Defence said it was "extremely sorry".
UK forces entered Basra City on the night of 6 April 2003, as part of the invasion of Iraq, and rapidly took control of the area, although they encountered widespread looting.
The incident took place after soldiers were called to a derelict industrial compound where they found 20 to 30 suspected looters.
After a chase, Ahmed was one of four suspected looters who were first made to roll around in a pool of stagnant water. They were then taken in a Warrior armed vehicle to the Shatt-Al Basra canal and forced to enter the water there.
According to one of the others detained, Ayad Salim Hanoon, the four were forced to enter the canal "at gunpoint".
He also gave evidence that the soldiers threw stones to force them into deeper water, although the report was unable to establish whether or not this claim was true.
The report does acknowledge that Mr Hanoon's evidence "has been subject to extensive criticism", including "mistakes or misunderstandings" or problems with translation.
The report by the Iraq Fatality Investigations, led by former High Court judge Sir George Newman, described the soldiers' actions as a "clumsy, ill-directed and bullying piece of conduct, engaged in without consideration of the risk of harm to which it could give rise".
It criticised their "manifest failure" to take action to save the boy's life.
"His death ensued because he was forced by the soldiers to enter the canal, where, in the presence of the soldiers, he was seen to be in difficulty, and to go under the water.
"Notwithstanding the unlawful treatment involved in getting him into the water, his death could have been avoided because he could and should have been rescued after it became clear that he was floundering."
The four soldiers involved, who were granted anonymity in the report, were acquitted of manslaughter at a court martial in 2006.

UK military deaths in Iraq
The report raised "grave concerns" about their ability to have coped with the responsibilities imposed on them and about the adequacy of the resources available to British forces in Iraq.
It added there were also concerns about training and "the ability of the occupying force to take on the burden to act as both policemen and combatants simultaneously".
Basra at the time had "descended into a state of chaos" and there was no assistance from Iraqi police or legal processes in place to deal with the problem of looting, which had been "beyond the capabilities of the British Forces to reduce", it continued.
It said guidelines on how to deal with suspected looters, which involved short periods of detention before handing them over to a higher chain of command, were "totally unrealistic and impractical".
This had led to soldiers meting out "on-the-spot justice", with the punishment differing "according to the temperament and inclination of the soldier in command".
Of the Basra case, the report added: "[The four suspected looters] had been compelled to get into the Warrior by fully armed soldiers.
"They probably had no knowledge or understanding of what was going to happen. They are likely to have feared for their lives.
"None of the soldiers gave a satisfactory explanation for their actions in directing the looters into the canal."
Part two of the report, which will draw conclusions to be learned from the incident, will be released at a future date.
The Iraq War, in which President Saddam Hussein was overthrown by a US-led coalition including the UK, led to the deaths of at least 150,000 Iraqis, with more than one million citizens displaced. Violence has continued in the country since then, and so-called Islamic State has taken control of parts of it.
More than 200 British service personnel and civilians died during the conflict.
The Iraq Fatality Investigations were set up in 2013 to examine a small number of Iraqi deaths that involved British troops.
Similar to inquests, they do not consider issues of individual or collective culpability.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "This was a grave incident for which we are extremely sorry.
"We are committed to investigating allegations of wrongdoing by UK forces and will use Sir George's findings to learn lessons to help ensure nothing like this happens again." | Four UK soldiers who "forced" an Iraqi boy into a canal and let him drown have been condemned by a judge investigating civilian deaths in the Iraq War. | 37,380,673 | 1,051 | 36 | false |
Helen Jones said Boxing Day should be a "day of rest" after the rigours of Christmas and starting sales meant lost family time and staff being exploited.
An online petition urging curbs has attracted more than 100,000 signatures.
Conservative Philip Hollobone said any ban in the internet age risked placing MPs on the "wrong side of history".
And his colleague, Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns, said the UK "should not bite the hand that feeds us" - suggesting that clamping down on one of the busiest days of the year was counter-productive.
The government has said it will not tell retailers "how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers".
There are currently no controls on trading hours on that day unless it happens to fall on a Sunday, and campaigners say workers need more rest.
But an e-petition calling for Boxing Day to be given protected status similar to Christmas Day and Easter Day gained 138,235 signatures - more than the 100,000 required for Parliament to consider holding a debate.
It states: "Christmas is a family time. The one day is not enough time to see two sides of families. Retail workers work extremely hard during the Christmas run up and only get the one day.
"If only everywhere could be closed Boxing Day! Some things are needed over the festive period; retail isn't one of them."
Backing the petition, Ms Jones - who is Labour MP for Warrington North - said that while she enjoyed shopping the "debt-fuelled shopping binge" represented by the Boxing Day sales did not do anyone any good.
Many shops opened not because they got a massive uplift in sales but merely because their rivals did, she suggested.
"I doubt very much anything would change if they did not start until the 27th," she said.
Workers were being exploited, she suggested, with many not getting any time off after October, having to get up as early as 05:00 GMT on Boxing Day because of a lack of public transport and not being paid overtime for their troubles.
"Christmas Day can be a very nice day but it is not necessarily a very relaxing day," she said. "It is not if you have young children or if you have to cook dinner."
"So many of us, like me, say Boxing Day is our day of rest. That is not available to many people in retail."
Mr Hollobone, MP for Kettering, said he sympathised with the argument but a ban would not help the thousands of people who would still have to process internet orders and that, instead, people should be able to voluntarily request not to work on Boxing Day.
In its response to the petition, the government said: "We do not believe it is for central government to tell businesses how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers. Therefore we are not proposing to ban shops from opening on Boxing Day."
The Christmas Day Trading Act prohibits shops larger than 280 sq m from opening on 25 December, but Boxing Day is important for the retail industry.
Last year, experts predicted that 22 million people, many attracted by sales, would spend more than £3bn.
And, in 2014, 365,000 people in the UK retail industry worked on Boxing Day, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Monday's debate, which is scheduled to run to 19:30 GMT, will not involve a vote so cannot enforce a change in the law, but is a chance for MPs to demonstrate whether it is an issue with much support in Parliament.
It became tangled in anti-pigeon netting on the Lloyds Bank building in Cornhill earlier.
Three fire engines were sent and a firefighter on an aerial platform managed to help set the bird free.
The bird, which had been feasting on a pigeon also trapped in the nets, then flew across the square to watch the drama from the safety of another perch.
Dozens of shoppers had gathered to watch the spectacle, and Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service had to set up a cordon as they worked to free the feathered fellow.
As the bird flapped to freedom, people clapped and cheered from the sidelines.

Moyes, 51, who was sacked by Manchester United in April, said he took charge of the Spanish side after turning down offers from clubs in the Premier League.
"Real Sociedad tugged at my heart strings," Moyes said.
"La Liga has the finest players and great coaches and I want to test myself against the best."
He added: "It is the right time. I am well rested and I am ready to go."
Moyes has signed a contract to June 2016 and replaces Jagoba Arrasate, who was dismissed after a poor run of form which has left the club 15th in La Liga.
There are reasons for optimism, however. Sociedad have already beaten Real Madrid this season and recorded their second win of the campaign on Sunday when they overcame champions Atletico Madrid.
"This is the best league in the world, in my opinion," Moyes, who will take charge for the first time at Deportivo on 22 November, added at his presentation in San Sebastian.
"I see great morale amongst the players - last Sunday's result against Atletico really lifted them. My job is to extract the best of them and make them competitive.
"I feel this job fits my character. It's been a big decision for me and my family."
Moyes, who is Sociedad's fourth British manager after Harry Lowe, John Toshack and Chris Coleman, hinted that he will allowed to dip into the transfer market in January if he deems it necessary.
"I have to assess the players I have here," he said. "The transfer window is five weeks away. The president said he will do everything he can to help me."
The former Preston and Everton manager succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson at United in July 2013 but was was sacked four games from the end of last season with the club lying seventh in the Premier League.
Moyes hopes his return to management after six months away from the game will deliver results to rival his time at Goodison Park.
"I had a great 11 years at Everton, a club very similar to this," Moyes said. "I took over Everton and grew it and it got better and better. I am hoping I can do the same here."
It comes a day after the Reds were handed a £43,577 fine for "illicit chants" and other misdemeanours against rivals Manchester United.
Liverpool lost in the final to Sevilla, with both sides being charged for crowd disturbances in that match.
The latter case will be dealt with by Uefa on 21 July.
Whittingham, 32, has joined League One Blackburn after a decade at Cardiff.
"He wants to play and he's got a two-year contract offered to him, and you've got to take your hat off to that," Warnock said.
"I think he's realised he's not going to be instrumental in playing every week here."
The Cardiff boss also said he hopes to sign two players within the week but says Aberdeen's Jonny Hayes is unlikely to join.
Whittingham, who made 450 appearances following his arrival from Aston Villa in January 2007, was offered reduced terms by the Bluebirds.
But Warnock denied financial reasons where behind the former England Under-21 international's decision to drop down a division and join Rovers on a two-year deal.
"His agent said to me it was similar terms to what we offered him," Warnock told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think Peter could have played a part next year but I don't think we could, at this stage, offer him a two-year deal.
"You could see last year how frustrated he was at not being able to play and not being in that starting 11.
"Probably going down a division gives him more opportunity as well to play and you've just got to accept he's at the stage of his career where you do want to play.
"A lot of people don't even think about playing and they just go for money, but that's not Peter.
"Peter just wants to play and you've got to take your hat off to him. Good luck to him, sometimes you need a little challenge later on in your career."
There were fears that the probe might hit fragments of ice or rock, and that these could cause significant damage.
Cassini made the plunge with its radio dish pointing forward like a shield.
But the latest analysis indicates there were hardly any impacts and those particles the probe did strike were only smoke-sized.
"The region between the rings and Saturn is 'the big empty,' apparently," commented Cassini project manager, Earl Maize, of Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"Cassini will stay the course, while the scientists work on the mystery of why the dust level is much lower than expected."
The outcome is good news because four of the remaining gap-runs that Cassini will execute before terminating its mission in September will edge even closer to Saturn’s inner D-ring.
These manoeuvres also are expected to see the probe lead with its antenna in the shield configuration.
But last Wednesday’s experience means controllers can now approach these events with increased confidence.
Cassini is booked to make a further 21 plunges through the 3,000km-wide opening between the planet's cloudtops and the D-ring, with the next occurring at 19:38 GMT On Tuesday.
The dives are designed to return data of unprecedented resolution on the structure and dynamics of Saturn’s interior.
They should also allow the probe to weigh the rings, which will give scientists their best estimate yet for the age of these spectacular bands.
Currently, no-one is quite sure whether the rings are as old as the planet or are a relatively recent phenomenon, the result perhaps of a break-up of a moon or even a comet that got too close to the giant world.
Nasa intends to dump Cassini in the atmosphere of Saturn on 15 September.
After 20 years in space, the satellite is running low on fuel and controllers want to be sure there is no possibility of a future collision with the moons of Titan and Enceladus, which could conceivably support simple microbial life.

The show, which stars Matthew Macfadyen as Inspector Edmund Reid, has attracted an average audience of 7.1 million.
Ripper Street, which has been widely praised for its authentic portrayal of Victorian London, will return for an eight-part run in 2014.
The show has earned a 22.9% audience share in its Sunday evening slot.
Ripper Street has not been without controversy, with its first episode attracting more than 90 complaints from viewers concerned about its graphic sex and violence.
"Quality and ambition run through Ripper Street, from Richard Warlow's original scripts, the incredible cast and the captivating direction," said Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC Drama Commissioning.
"All combine to create a period series with a modern and gripping edge."
"I am enormously grateful to have been given the opportunity to return to 'H' Division once more," said Warlow.
The writer said he would be "working tirelessly to ensure that those who have joined us each week will find ever more compelling crime-fighting thrills down on Ripper Street the second time around".
Ripper Street is made by Tiger Aspect Productions and Lookout Point in association with BBC America.
The show has become the US cable channel's second most successful drama after Doctor Who.

The American, 24, trailed leader Kevin Kisner by two shots going into the final round but hit a three-under-par 68 to win on eight under.
Francesco Molinari (67), Patrick Reed (67) and Louis Oosthuizen (70) tied for second.
"I can't put it into words right now. I'm glad to have a trophy now," an emotional Thomas said.
Thomas made six birdies in his round, including spectacular efforts on the 10th and 13th holes.
Rickie Fowler carded a four-under-par 67 to tie for fifth on five under alongside Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who went round in 72.
At one stage on the back nine, Thomas, Molinari, Matsuyama, Kisner and Chris Stroud were tied for the lead.
Kisner, who led after each of the opening three rounds and for much of the early part of his final round, fell away late on as a one-over 72 left him four under for the tournament.
Thomas, from Kentucky, is the eighth first-time major winner in the last nine majors.

Thomas started the round on five under but he slipped to three shots behind leader Kisner with two bogeys in his opening three holes.
The world number 14 picked up birdies at seven and nine while Kisner slipped back after finding the water on the seventh.
At that point, Thomas' playing partner Matsuyama - bidding to become Japan's first male major champion - took the outright lead thanks to back-to-back birdies before faltering on the back nine.
Thomas' round gained momentum on the 10th, when a birdie putt clung to the lip of the hole for 15 seconds before dropping.
"It was funny because it snuck up on the hole. We read it going left and then a bit right and it never came back right," Thomas said.
"Once it got there I felt it would go in but it didn't so I acted like a child and had a tantrum. Suddenly it went in and I didn't look so dumb."
Thomas moved two shots clear of the field on the 13th when he chipped in from the edge of the green as the crowd erupted.
He made another birdie on 17 and, despite a bogey on the last, led with one pairing left on the course.
Kisner had to eagle the 18th to force a play-off, but he found the water and double-bogeyed.
Iain Carter, BBC golf correspondent
This was an outstanding performance from Justin Thomas, taking the initiative, seizing the moment. The birdie at the 17th meant he could drop a shot at the last.
It was Thomas' fourth victory of the year. He really kicked on this week. The way he finished this off was very impressive and now he rises to number six in the world.
Jay Townsend, BBC golf pundit
The strength of Justin Thomas is everything. He hits it a mile, he can hit it high. He is a more talented hitter of the ball than Jordan Spieth, although I don't think there's a more talented all-round golfer at making scores than Spieth at the moment.
If you think about Spieth, Thomas, Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson - these are young guys that are going to carry the US Ryder Cup team for probably the next five matches. The tide has probably turned.
Rory McIlroy was the pre-tournament favourite at Quail Hollow, where he has won twice on the PGA Tour and holds the course record, but two 72s and a 73 left him out of contention after three days.
The Northern Irishman carded a three-under 68 in the final round to finish one over, but he will end the year without a major - his third consecutive season without winning one of golf's four biggest tournaments - and suggested he may miss the rest of 2017 because of a rib injury.

Spieth was also heavily fancied following his triumph at The Open in July, as he looked to become the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam.
But the American hit a final-round 70 to finish two over, ending his hopes of breaking Tiger Woods' record.
Woods was aged 24 years, seven months and 25 days when he completed the full set of majors and Spieth will be 25 by the time of the 2018 US PGA.
2015 champion Jason Day, who was in contention before a quadruple bogey on the 18th in his third round, closed with a one-under 70 to finish one under for the tournament.
World number one Dustin Johnson ended with a four-under 67, including seven birdies, to finish level par.
England's Jordan Smith, competing in his first major, was the highest-placed British player on one under after a three-under 68.
Compatriot Paul Casey hit a 71 to tie for 13th at level par for the tournament.
Englishman Ian Poulter's two-under final round of 69 gave him a top-25 finish at one over.
Further down the leaderboard, Chris Wood carded a final-round 73 to end three over, Tommy Fleetwood finished eight over thanks to a final-round 74, while Lee Westwood hit a four-over-par 75 for 11 over.
The incident involved an MV-22 Osprey belonging to the US Marines based in Okinawa, Japan.
The third Marine Expeditionary Force said the aircraft had launched for "regularly scheduled operations" before it entered the water.
Rescue teams recovered 23 people, but three service members are still missing.
Australian media reported the incident happened during an attempt to land on an aircraft carrier.
End of Twitter post by @IIIMEF
The MV-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft, capable of carrying 24 people at a time in addition to four crew members. It is similar to a conventional plane, but has helicopter-like rotor blades which allow it to take off vertically, without a runway.
Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper quoted military sources as saying that the accident happened as the aircraft was trying to land on the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.
Australia's Defence Minister, Marise Payne, said she had spoken to her US counterpart, James Mattis, and confirmed the incident happened near Shoalwater Bay, off the coast of Queensland.
"I can confirm no Australian Defence Force personnel were on board the aircraft," she said in a statement.
US military forces have been operating in the area as part of a joint training exercise called Talisman Sabre. It involved some 30,000 personnel from both countries.
An MV-22 Osprey was destroyed earlier this year during a controversial raid by US forces in Yemen, after three crew members were injured in a "hard landing".
It was so badly damaged that US forces deliberately destroyed the craft in an air strike.
In July, 16 people died after a US Marine Corps plane crashed in Mississippi.
Natalia Veselnitskaya said Donald Trump Jr and two senior campaign aides may have met her last summer because they were "longing" for such information.
Ms Veselnitskaya has been linked to the Russian government.
US officials are investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election.
Mr Trump Jr was told that material on Democratic presidential candidate Mrs Clinton offered by Ms Veselnitskaya was part of Moscow's effort to help his father's election campaign, the New York Times reports.
Publicist Rob Goldstone, who arranged the meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya, stated this in an email, the newspaper says.
The president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and then-campaign head Paul Manafort also attended the meeting at Trump Tower in New York in June 2016.
Ms Veselnitskaya told US broadcaster NBC on Tuesday: "I never had any damaging or sensitive information about Hillary Clinton. It was never my intention to have that."
Ms Veselnitskaya said the meeting was set up by a man she did not know who told her by telephone to go to Trump Tower.
Mr Trump Jr asked her just one question during the meeting, she said.
"The question that I was asked was as follows: whether I had any financial records which might prove that the funds used to sponsor the DNC [Democratic National Committee] were coming from inappropriate sources.
"It is quite possible that maybe they were longing for such information. They wanted it so badly that they could only hear the thought that they wanted."
Ms Veselnitskaya denied ever having worked for the Russian government.
In a tweet sent after Ms Veselnitskaya's interview with NBC, Mr Trump Jr accused the media and Democratic Party of focusing on a "nonsense meeting" and of "desperation".
Separately on Tuesday, Russian officials said Moscow was ready to expel 30 US diplomats and seize US state property in retaliation for sanctions imposed by President Barack Obama over Russian hacking of Democratic Party computers.
The newspaper reports that three people with knowledge of the Goldstone email said it indicated the Russian government was the source of the potentially damaging information on Mrs Clinton.
But it says there was no mention in the email of any wider effort by the Russian government to interfere in the election, nor was there any indication of a link to the hacking attack on the Democratic Party that was first reported a week after the meeting.
Mr Goldstone has previously denied any knowledge of involvement by the Russian government.
Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told MSNBC that the New York Times report was "a very serious development" that required further investigation.
Mr Trump Jr's statement on the matter on Sunday did not indicate he had been told of any Russian government involvement.
Lawyer Alan Futerfas, hired by Mr Trump Jr to represent him in the Russia-related investigations, described reports of the meeting as "much ado about nothing" and said his client had done nothing wrong.
The president's son said he was "happy to work with the committee to pass on what I know".
It took place on 9 June 2016, just two weeks after Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination.
After the New York Times first reported the meeting on Saturday, Mr Trump Jr released a statement which confirmed that it had taken place but did not mention whether it was related to the presidential campaign.
However, another Times report, on Sunday, said Mr Trump Jr had agreed to the meeting after being offered information that would prove detrimental to Mrs Clinton.
In his statement on Sunday, Mr Trump Jr said he had been asked to meet "an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign".
Mr Trump Jr's statement continues: "The woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs Clinton.
"Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information."
Mr Trump Jr said the lawyer then changed the subject to the Magnitsky Act and "it became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along".
Adopted by Congress in 2012, the Magnitsky Act allows the US to withhold visas and freeze financial assets of Russian officials thought to have been involved in human rights violations.
Ms Veselnitskaya is married to a Moscow government official and her clients include companies and individuals said to be close to the Kremlin. She has been at the forefront of a campaign - backed by the Russian state - to overturn the act.
In an interview on Monday, Mr Goldstone backed Mr Trump Jr's version of the meeting, saying Ms Veselnitskaya offered "just a vague, generic statement about the campaign's funding" which was "the most inane nonsense I've ever heard".
On Monday, Mr Trump Jr tweeted sarcastically: "Obviously I'm the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent..." He also denied issuing conflicting statements.
A spokesman for President Trump's legal team said the president was "not aware of and did not attend" the meeting.
Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
Whether by plan or happenstance, Donald Trump Jr is stumbling into an increasingly dire situation.
The pattern has been set. The New York Times runs a story, Trump Jr issues his response, then the noose tightens.
First he said the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was about adoption issues. Then the Times reports that Trump Jr thought he would learn damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
The presidential son says he was conducting routine opposition research. Then the Times reports that he was told it was the Russian government itself that was coming to his father's aid.
In a traditional campaign, a foreign government's attempt to offer incriminating information about an opponent - or even the hint of such an overture - would set off all kinds of alarms. The FBI would have been notified. Senior staff would have insulated themselves from incrimination.
The Trump team was not a conventional campaign. And time and time again, it made novice mistakes or, more ominously, took unprecedented risks.
Its candidate prevailed, but it has led to countless political headaches. Now it appears the president's own family, and his presidency itself, could be in peril. They have only themselves to blame.

It is alleged that Russian hackers stole information linked to the Clinton campaign and passed it to Wikileaks so it could be released and help tip the election towards Mr Trump.
Congressional committees and a special prosecutor are investigating whether there was any collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.
The investigations have yet to reveal any evidence of collusion, something the president has always denied.
Last week Mr Trump said interference in the election "could well have been" carried out by countries other than Russia and interference "has been happening for a long time".
Dan Stevens restored the 72ft (22m) boat at his Plymouth boatyard after he spotted it languishing on the Mediterranean island.
The revamped vessel, used by Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson to set his 1986 Atlantic crossing record, carries an asking price of £725,000.
Mr Stevens said his main concern was finding a "good home".
"I have done my bit and saved it," he said, adding he would make only a "small amount of money" from the sale.
Sir Richard, who revisited the restored boat in 2013, tweeted: "My old record-breaking boat, Virgin Atlantic Challenger II is up for sale. Fancy an adventure?"
In a statement on his website, he said: "I love Challenger II not only because it is a beautiful boat, but as it gave us a platform to challenge ourselves, push boundaries and embrace the spirit of adventure.
"I hope whoever buys it is keen for more explorations on the high seas."
Challenger II was sold in the late 1980s, reportedly to a sultan and later to an English owner, and spent about seven years moored in Majorca until Mr Stevens bought her.
Mr Stevens said he had spent about £400,000 restoring the boat after buying it for a "couple of hundred thousand pounds".
He said: "I have put a lot of blood and sweat into doing the refit.
"But it is now time for me to move it on.
"It is not about the money, it's about finding someone who is sensitive about the boat.
"I would like to see it remain in the UK."
The 33-year-old seam bowler, who has taken 420 Test wickets, is in the United Arab Emirates for his country's series against Pakistan.
This summer, he helped England regain the Ashes and took 7-77 for Lancashire against Essex, his best county figures.
"I consider it an honour and a privilege every time I wear the Red Rose," said the Burnley-born bowler.
"I am delighted to sign a new deal with the county I grew up supporting.
"Last season was a great year for Lancashire and I'm looking forward to seeing us progress under Ashley Giles back in Division One."
Read reached the milestone by catching Paul Collingwood as Durham, chasing 215, were out for 162 as Brett Hutton (5-29) claimed a 10-wicket match haul.
In the process, Collingwood, who made six, became the first batsman to pass 10,000 first-class runs for Durham.
Samit Patel (100) and Riki Wessels (85) earlier helped Notts to 382 all out.

Read, who has been with Notts since 1998, is the 26th player in history to reach 1,000 dismissals and the first since Jack Russell in 1997.
Ironically, Read was a youngster at Gloucestershire when Russell passed the milestone.
After starting day three on 138-4 and still 30 runs behind, Patel and Wessels shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 153.
Hutton made 27 and Luke Wood 35 but Notts slipped from 362-7 to 382 all out, as Graham Onions (3-86) and Ryan Pringle (3-93) took three wickets each.
Jake Ball (3-63) took his 50th first-class wicket in the first over of Durham's chase as Jack Burnham shouldered arms to be out for a golden duck.
Mark Stoneman (31), who passed 1,000 Championship runs for the third season in succession, and Scott Borthwick (25) fell to Harry Gurney (2-29) in the space of four balls and then Hutton ripped the heart out of the Durham middle order as the visitors slipped from 58-1 to 71-6.
Read, who went into the game on 998 dismissals, had taken a catch in the first innings and reached the 1,000 landmark when Collingwood edged Hutton behind - his 950th catch to go with 50 stumpings.
Gordon Muchall (36) and debutant Barry McCarthy (38 not out) then held Notts up, but Hutton returned to dismiss Onions for match figures of 10-106.
Durham are now without a win in seven matches, while Notts move only five points behind second-placed Middlesex.
Notts wicketkeeper Chris Read told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I did chuck the ball a little higher and the reaction of all my team-mates was brilliant.
"They all came and gave me a big hug which was great.
"The guard of honour at the end was a bit emotional, I wasn't expecting that."
Durham captain Paul Collingwood told BBC Newcastle:
"We aren't scoring enough runs, it has been a habit all season.
"Even on this one, which I thought was one of the best cricket pitches you could play on, we were well short.
"I thought Nottinghamshire probably wanted it a little more than us and showed a lot of skill to turn that game around."
BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson:
"To think Durham would surrender a 168-run lead takes some believing. Michael Richardson dropping Samit Patel behind the stumps on 33 was the real turning point.
"Worcestershire will be fancying their chances of beating Durham next week and if that happens, the hosts will set an unwanted record of five straight defeats at home.
"The finale to this season can't come quick enough. They need to draw a line under it and look to next year."
Petroleum Minister Ibe Kachikwu said a litre of petrol would now cost a maximum of 145 naira (£0.50), up from about 86.5 naira.
As retailers get more money, the government aims to further cut back on costly subsidies.
Fuel shortages have seen Nigerians paying up to 250 naira a litre on the black market.
Despite being one of Africa's largest oil producers, Nigeria has to import fuel to meet demand.
Nigerian refineries are dilapidated and work at a fraction of their capacity.
"The main reason for the current problem is the inability of importers of petroleum products to source foreign exchange at the official rate due to the massive decline of foreign exchange earnings of the federal government," Mr Kachikwu said.
"We expect that this new policy will lead to improved supply and competition and eventually drive down pump prices," he added.
The worshippers, from the Shouwang church, were trying to hold an outdoor service because they are prevented from using their own premises.
Police have recently arrested dozens of people from the church.
The authorities have also been carrying out a wider suppression of dissent - harassing foreign reporters and detaining lawyers and activists.
The most high-profile detainee, artist Ai Weiwei, was taken by police as he tried to board a flight earlier this month.
His family say they do not know where he is, whether he has been charged with an offence, or even whether he has been formally arrested.
China's constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but the Communist Party tries to control where people worship.
There are an estimated 70 million Christians in the country, about 20 million of whom attend government-approved churches.
The rest worship with unregistered groups known as "house" churches.
Such groups are broadly tolerated, but Shouwang leaders have annoyed the authorities in recent weeks by insisting on trying to hold services in the open.
Shouwang is one of Beijing's biggest so-called underground Churches, with more than 1,000 members.
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Beijing says police personnel were on every street corner in the area where the worshippers were due to meet on Sunday morning.
He says the authorities rounded up anyone suspected of being a member of the Shouwang church and loaded them on to buses to be driven to police stations.
One of the church's leaders Jin Tianming, who is under house arrest, told AFP news agency that between 20 and 30 members had been detained.
He said they had been taken to several different police stations.
About 100 Shouwang members were held earlier this month, and 12 of its leaders are under house arrest.
Bob Fu, of the US-based Christian China Aid Association, says the crackdown on Christian worship is wider than Beijing.
He says churchgoers in the southern city of Guangzhou have been refused permission to hold Easter services, and Christians in the northern city of Hohhot are facing repression.
"There is a very large house church in Hohhot. They were also under crackdown. More than a dozen of the leaders are now under criminal detention," said Mr Fu, who is a critic of Beijing's religious policies.
The authorities have not yet commented on the latest detentions.

This is Danny Care's life. Pass or kick. Run or release. Tap and go or hang on tight.
Frequently he gets those decisions right. Sometimes he doesn't. Always the scrum-half's brain is working: what now, what next, where to.
Last Saturday, Paris. England are 16-3 down and struggling. As Care digs the ball out of a messy ruck, they are awarded a penalty in front of the posts. And so it begins.
"You've got to react to how the game is going. I thought, we haven't been able to get much going, we haven't been able to hold on to much ball for a long time, we're a fair few points down. I thought we needed a bit of tempo, a bit of a lift. I saw a bit of a gap, and I thought, I've got go for that."
All those options and resolutions fizzed through Care's mind in under a second. Another two seconds on and he is a metre from the French try-line; two passes later, Mike Brown is touching down for a try. England have a grip on a match that was away and lost to them.
"There are times as a scrum-half when you have to make those decisions, when you have to live by the sword a little bit," says Care, watching the rain fall at England's training base as he prepares to take on Scotland at a Murrayfield that will be soggier still.
"It was one of those decisions where if it goes well we'll score a try; if we don't, if we mess up, it's down to me. I'm willing to take it on the chin if I get it wrong."
Scroll back through the 27-year-old's life and it has always been this way. Left or right. Safety or speculation.
Decision one, aged 10: football or rugby. "That was a big one for me. I chose football, and I went off to play for the Sheffield Wednesday academy. I played a little bit of rugby at school, but it was all football.
"And then aged 14 I wasn't getting played, and they were starting to pick on size not skill. When you're a kid, all you want to do is play, so I said to my dad, let's change this."
Stick or twist. Run or pass.
With the trouble that I got in, it was self-inflicted. It was me wanting to go out and have a good time. I was just enjoying life.
"I broke myself out of the contract midway through the year. All my mates at school played for Otley. I had always told them I was a footballer, but now I thought, I'm giving rugby a crack.
"We went on a lads and dads tour to Ireland, just playing and having a few drinks with the dads afterwards, and I loved it. I never looked back."
Brought into the Leeds academy by Stuart Lancaster, the man who now coaches him for England, Care had his next choice to make: stick with his hometown club, or risk sinking in a bigger pond.
He gambled. Six months later, kicking nothing but heels as Harlequins third choice behind England scrum-half Andy Gomarsall and Samoa's Steve So'oialo, he was taking it on the chin.
"I was like, what have I done here? Me being as naïve as I was, I thought I was ready.
"Looking back now, I can see it was one of the best things that could have happened to me. I learned so much from watching Gomers and Steve play and train. Gomers was brilliant in helping me with my kicking and decision-making. And then when I got my chance, I was ready."
Care, in the words of his club half-back partner Nick Evans, "is a cheeky little bugger. He loves life and he enjoys it". His own mother will tell you about a kid who was always talking, always testing boundaries.
Those traits have at times worked against him, as much as they have made him the archetypal scrum-half.
In a three-month period two years ago Care was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, fined by Quins, arrested and charged with drink driving, excluded from the England squad, banned from driving for 16 months, arrested again after a night out in Leeds and cautioned for being drunk and disorderly.

Frequently he gets the decisions right. Sometimes he doesn't.
"With the trouble that I got in, it was self-inflicted," admits Care. "It was me wanting to go out and have a good time. I was just enjoying life.
"Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a bad lad; I just get a bit carried away sometimes with the lads. But I made some bad decisions. I was rightly punished, and punished quite harshly, both on the pitch and off it.
"I had to take a good look at myself, talk to people close to me, and realise what I was throwing away. Being banned from playing for my country - that was heartbreaking. That made me realise that I had to sort my life out. And I'm very thankful for Quins and England for giving me the chance to prove that I'm not that lad that some people think I am.
"It's hard. I meet random people and they say, 'You're a lot nicer than I thought you were.' And then it hits you, that there is the perception of me still. That you're an idiot, when I just got a bit excited and made a few bad decisions."
How has he changed? How has he ensured that, in the frantic second of option, choice and movement, he now takes the right path?
"What Danny needed was just to know he was backed," says Evans. "When you're going through tough times you're going to hear a lot of negativity. The senior guys at Quins backed Danny, and he knuckled down and did the hard work.
"Whenever he gets a challenge he steps up and shows his character. And he has done that over the last couple of years to get himself back into the position he is in now."
"What Danny brings is special," says Conor O'Shea, his club's director of rugby. "It is all very well seeing a gap, it is quite another thing to be able to take advantage of it. Too many people focus on the occasional blemish and fail to realise just what dynamism he can bring to a side.
"He's the catalyst, he's the kind of guy who will make something happen," says Evans, who believes his partner has improved both his defence and passing in the last year.
"He can control the forwards and do the parts of that need to be done - yelling at the forwards, getting into position, listening to his 10, but he also sets our tempo.
"He's not a half-back who will just go from ruck to ruck and pass. When you get to the big, tough games, you need a guy like that who can just open the defence up and create something out of nothing.
"He's a young kid still, and London is a great town, it's a fantastic place. I'm not going to get on the back of guys who go out as long as they turn up for training focused and ready to go. Danny turns up on a Monday and is ready to go whether he's been out and had some fun or not, that's not really the point anymore for him.
"Don't get me wrong. I've had a few words with him and given him a bollocking. But nine times out of 10, when he makes a decision now, he's making the right one."
Care has seldom looked settled in an England shirt. There have been rivals - Harry Ellis, Paul Hodgson, Ben Youngs, Lee Dickson. There have been injuries, from the mundane (the ankle injury which disrupted his preparations for these Six Nations) to the tragi-comic (slipping on ice and injuring ligaments before what would have been his tournament debut six years ago).
Now, under his old mentor Lancaster ("Ever since I was 15 he's been developing moves to get me running") he has a chance to prove himself a canny enough gambler to hold on to the nine shirt all the way through to next autumn's World Cup.
"It can be harder to take risks when you're in and out of the team," he admits. "But that's the way I never want to play. I never want to be the one who doesn't try things.
"I like to enjoy myself out there. I'll always try something." He grins. "And if it doesn't come off, I'll face the consequences afterwards."
Sales in the clothing and home arm fell by 2.7% on a like-for-like basis in the 13 weeks to 26 March.
New chief executive Steve Rowe took over form Marc Bolland this month.
"Although the sales decline in clothing and home was lower than last quarter, our performance remains unsatisfactory and there is still more we need to do," said Mr Rowe.
"Turning around our clothing and home business by improving our customer offering is our number one priority."
Mr Rowe, former executive director of general merchandise, replaced Mr Bolland on 2 April.
The clothing decline was less steep than analysts had expected, but the division has seen just one quarter of like-for-like sales growth in 21 quarters.
On food, M&S said that like-for-like sales were unchanged, but that thanks to the opening of 80 new stores during the year it had seen its market share grow to 4.3%.
Meanwhile, the High Street firm said that there had been improvements in its digital offering.
It said there had been improvements to the firm's website including increased website speeds and ease of navigation, and sales from M&S.com rose 8.2%.
On its international business, the company said it expected to see continued "challenging trading conditions".
Clive Black, head of research at Shore Capital, says fixing M&S's clothing problems, "while not necessarily insurmountable... will not be an easy or quick process. If it was then we assert that it would have been done so before now".
He added: "Equally, we do not believe that it is an impossible task either and Steve Rowe may be particularly, nay distinctively, positioned to make the necessary changes to see things through as an M&S 'lifer'.
"The solutions somewhat obviously revolve around product, merchandising, marketing and price to the extent that M&S can engineer a necessary process of positive change that delivers sustainable same-store and then trading profit growth in general merchandise."
And Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown said: "Clothing continues to be a rather large millstone around Marks and Spencer's neck, with yet another quarter of declining sales.
"New boss Steve Rowe intends to tackle this problem head on, but we have to wait until May to get details of his strategy to revitalise the brand."
Mr Feroze, who does not believe in borders, carries a world passport - as part of a global movement established under Article 13(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which says "everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country".
His journey, however, was cut short just a little over a month after he set off - at the India-Pakistan border, local police accused him of "breach of peace" and arrested him.
After spending two weeks in prison, he was freed on bail, but he says the time he spent travelling has taught him some invaluable lessons.
These are some of the highlights of his journey, as told to BBC Hindi's Divya Arya:
The whole idea of my journey was to understand, engage and plant new ideas in the minds of people living in border villages.
Invisible theatre was a very effective - though risky - tool for this. It meant taking on a completely different identity to my own, when interacting with people.
I did this because I wanted villagers to interact with me as a random traveller, rather than as an artist on a project.
In one village, the residents only warmed up to me when I told them that my family was originally from Pakistan who lost everything they owned during partition when they migrated to India.
The villagers immediately grew sympathetic and, in fact, opened up about their opinions on partition and how the border had altered their lives.
One old man said, "Border tension is all hype, created and sustained by governments. On the ground, it is us ordinary people who continue to suffer."
But such insights would more often than not be quickly swept away by passionate rhetoric about security. I would be told, "things have changed now, you shouldn't go to the border, people on the other side have bad intentions, and there are terrorists".
The attitudes towards borders also changed depending on how close or far people lived from them.
It seemed to me that when it came to borders at least, people in the rest of the country understood grey, whereas those who lived on the border were more black-and-white.
One Hindu truck driver from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh who I hitched a ride with told me: "The terror across the border doesn't worry me, my only worry is feeding my family."
This was in sharp contrast with most border residents.
One man told me, "The threat of the enemy on the other side is real, our elders have seen violence, we fear those across the border and we have to defend ourselves." A world passport according to him was "stupidity".
I found the children a different experience altogether.
Wherever I met them, I would try to develop a play, to challenge their concept of borders and introduce the concept of a border-less world. But the dilemma was that they didn't understand borders as political lines.
When I asked the first set of children, "what is a border?", pat came the reply, "it's the end". Like the boundaries of boxes.
So first I had to show them a world map to explain country borders, and then ask them to imagine a world without them.
These were rural students who had only ever crossed the border of their village to go to a neighbouring Indian village. Life ended at the village and beyond that - their parents had explained - lay danger.
"Why? Were the people any different?" I asked. "No," they replied in unison. Their own answer must have triggered some thought, because then a child stood up and asked, "What if I was born on the other side of the border?"
Talking about a border-less world to border villagers is challenging, to say the least, given that even the children have barriers built in their subconscious minds.
I would have to take a circuitous route. One play, titled 'The educated ghost will scare away the ghost of superstition', was to educate the villagers about the efficacy of medical treatment for epilepsy instead of prayers by local priests.
While developing the script, a child said there were no doctors in the village.
So, they had to be called from across the border from another village. It automatically drove home the point that people from outside or across the border, in this case a doctor, had good intentions.
What I was doing with them wasn't really about what happened while I was there, but I hope that a lot of the impact will come later and these new thoughts begin to influence their actions.
The two-year-old was found an hour and 45 minutes later after she was tracked via CCTV cameras to a park about three miles away from the Newcastle store.
Sentencing the pair, aged 13 and 14, the judge at Newcastle Crown Court referred to internet searches on a tablet belonging to the younger girl.
These related to topics including children having sex, rape and slavery.
Mr Justice Globe said although the child came to "no actual harm", there had been intent, planning and enticement.

Just before the kidnap, in April, the teenagers, from Tyneside, had shoplifted dummies, baby milk and a bottle. They cannot be named due to their age.
The girls were initially charged with kidnap with the intention of committing a sexual offence but this was dropped after the prosecution accepted a plea to the alternative charge of kidnap.
The judge said the two girls put forward different accounts of the incident, but neither had explained to his satisfaction what actually happened.
He said their accounts "produce more questions than answers", and rejected the proposition they had taken the child "for no reason... with no specific intent".
"I bear in mind no physical harm was caused," he said.
"However, the extensive psychological harm to her mother was devastating. She won't let her daughter out if her sight and won't let her go to nursery,"
He added that it was clear that some aspect of physical or sexual harm or exploitation would have been carried out if the toddler had not been rescued swiftly.
"It was the true reason as to why she was taken. Her [the mother's] fears are well founded."
Mr Justice Globe said the guidelines recommended a five-year sentence and he deducted one third of this because the girls had pleaded guilty.
The initial sentences were three years and four months, but the judge later took off a month after hearing the teenagers had been subject to a curfew since their guilty plea in June.
An army spokesman said in a statement that 12 insurgents had been killed and another 20 arrested.
Witnesses described hearing gunfire and explosions for several hours, in Musaga in the south and Ngagara in the north.
The incident is the worst violence since an attempted coup in May, sparked by President Pierre Nkurunziza's third-term bid.
UN officials have recently accused both government and opposition figures of stirring up ethnic tension between Hutus and Tutsis, amid fears of a return to genocide.
Earlier reports had said up to five soldiers had been killed, but an army spokesman now says five soldiers were wounded in the attacks.
Resident of the capital, Bujumbura, have taken cover at home and are too frightened to go to work or send their children to school, reports the BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge from the city.
The attacks are the first on military targets since the coup attempt, he says.
Airlines including Kenya Airways and RwandAir have cancelled flights to Bujumbura due to a lack of airport personnel, though it is not clear if the airport has been officially closed.
The neighbourhoods where the attacks occurred are seen as opposition strongholds, correspondents say.
It is not clear who is behind the attacks but a presidential adviser said that government opponents had been trying to create a diversion to free prisoners.
The adviser, Willy Nyamitwe, said the insurgents had failed, describing them as Sindjuma, meaning "I am not a slave".
Witnesses say that artillery fire was heard during the attacks on an army base in Ngarara and the ISCAM Higher Institute of Military Training in Musaga, AFP reports.
An army camp known as BASE, near ISCAM, was also attacked, Reuters reported, citing a soldier.
"After more than two hours of clashes, the army repulsed the southern attack, while virtually all the attackers were killed in the Ngagara base," a senior army officer told AFP.
Security forces are conducting aggressive search operations following the attacks, reports SOS Medias Burundi, an underground group of independent journalists.
Mr Nkurunziza won a disputed election in July.
At least 240 people have been killed since April. More than 200,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries, the UN says.
In recent months, there have been daily killings of both opposition activists and Nkurunziza supporters.
April 2015 - Protests erupt after President Pierre Nkurunziza announces he will seek a third term in office.
May 2015 - Constitutional court rules in favour of Mr Nkurunziza, amid reports of judges being intimidated. Tens of thousands flee violence amid protests.
May 2015 - Army officers launch a coup attempt, which fails.
July 2015 - Elections are held, with Mr Nkurunziza re-elected. The polls are disputed, with opposition leader Agathon Rwasa describing them as a "joke".
November 2015 - Burundi government gives those opposing President Nkurunziza's third term five days to surrender their weapons ahead of a promised crackdown.
November 2015 - UN warns it is less equipped to deal with violence in Burundi than it was for the Rwandan genocide

Thousands in Dunblane, near Stirling, stayed up into the early hours to watch the 25-year-old bag the historic victory.
Murray beat Serbia's Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set match.
At the Dunblane Hotel almost 100 people erupted into mass celebration and chanted "There's only one Andy Murray" when the final ball was hit.
Murray has become the first Scot to win a grand slam and the first British man to win such a title since 1936.
He had appeared in four other grand slam finals - losing them all.
The tennis ace triumphed in the New York Flushing Meadows stadium fresh from winning a gold medal at the London Olympics.
The win brought congratulations from First Minister Alex Salmond and Prime Minister David Cameron.
The US final, which lasted just under five hours, was much anticipated by Dunblane.
At the Dunblane Hotel, tennis fan Gavin Noland, 63, said: "Andy is Dunblane's hero, not just Dunblane, the whole of Scotland and the rest of Britain.
"He was magnificent. I've been following him from the very beginning.
By Andrew BlackBBC Scotland news
"Dunblane Sports Club is where it all began for Andy Murray - he started playing tennis here as a young boy and despite his international success it's said his heart still lies here.
"As news of Andy's victory spread throughout his home town of Dunblane this morning, local school children braved the cold morning to come to the sports club to play tennis. Many of them also spoke of being inspired by the tennis ace to improve their game and perhaps even emulate his success.
"Andy Murray has brought every trophy he has ever won back to Dunblane Sports Club to show aspiring tennis players. In his absence, coaches at the sports club placed a large cardboard cut out of Andy on the open air tennis courts.
"In the build-up to the match, someone put up a banner at the side of the tennis court declaring 'good luck Andy' later that was replaced with another banner stating 'well done Andy'."
"I think he's coming into his game, just since winning the Olympics he's taken off like a meteorite."
Another supporter Dave Whitton, 62, said: "I'm just so happy for Andy - no tears this time, just complete joy and happiness, which is not only just for him but for the people of Dunblane and the whole of Scotland."
Referring to the Dunblane massacre in 1996, when gunman Thomas Hamilton shot dead 16 primary school children and their teacher, Mr Whitton said: "It's a town where, as you'll probably know, things have happened. But this brings a moment of joy and happiness instead of other things that have happened.
"We share in his happiness today emotionally.
"Like a true Scotsman we always live in hope whether it's football or tennis. I've followed all his games as has my daughter who lives in London, we've been texting each other all night and I'm sure she'll have a tear in her eye."
The supporters were with Murray all the way, celebrating and commiserating every point won and lost.
The bar kept its doors open late to allow the patrons to see the end of the game, and dished out popcorn and hot dogs.
Graham Neeson, 53, from Glasgow, was visiting a friend in Perth and started watching the game there before leaving to get the last train home.
However, he hopped off at Dunblane, to make sure he could see "history in the making".
He said: "I wouldn't have got home in time to watch the whole thing so I thought, where better to jump off than the epicentre of Murrayland - Dunblane.
"I'll need to stay overnight at the hotel now and get the morning train, but it's been worth it. I couldn't miss history in the making.
"I had him down as favourite to win before the final even started. I'm really over the moon for him and there's such a good atmosphere about the town."
Following Murray's win, Mr Salmond said it was "fantastic".
He went on: "This is another brilliant win over Novak Djokovic and continues an amazing year for Andy. Now Olympic and US Open champion, Andy truly is a Scottish sporting legend and I'm certain that more grand slam titles will follow."
The England Under-21 international has regularly been linked with Premier League sides, including Liverpool, since making his Rams debut in 2011.
Hughes, 19, played 48 games last term as Derby reached the play-off final.
"He is a promising young talent and we're looking forward to working with him over the next few years," said Rams boss Steve McClaren.
Hughes, who joined County as an academy scholar in 2011, was encouraged to stay with the Rams by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers when the teenager was linked a move to Anfield in November 2013.
He scored four times last season and was named in the PFA's Championship team of the season.
Hughes is the fourth player to commit to the club in the past week, following Jake Buxton, Craig Forsyth and Jeff Hendrick.
Southern Water initially said 1,000 properties were affected for about four hours in the South Wonston area.
It later clarified that the same pipe was also damaged on Saturday evening, about 100 yards further along, with some customers cut off for 16 hours.
The water main in a field on Lower Stoke Road had "quite a long split along it", a spokeswoman said.
The north London club made a loss of £3.98m last season, an improvement on a £5.17m deficit the year before.
Chairman Nigel Wray said having a smaller squad and "finishing 11th" was one obvious way to cut the debt.
"But that would send out a terrible message to players that we weren't ambitious and would hardly attract sponsors," he added.
"We have a very well-known brand which is of considerable value and must be nurtured."
The club's accounts showed total salaries rising to £9.81m, but a 13% increase in turnover led to a reduced annual loss.
The losses will be funded by parent company Premier Team Holdings Limited, although their written intention to do so is not legally binding.
"The financial results are not good but they are better. We are finally going in the right direction," said Wray, in a statement with the accounts, which have been submitted to Companies House.
The overall debt of the Allianz Park outfit increased from £41.6m in the summer of 2014.
The 29-year-old is the most capped player in the squad but remains a controversial choice because of a series of on-field misdemeanours that have seen him accumulate more than a year's worth of bans.
A top-class hooker and a fearless competitor, but is Hartley also a huge gamble for England?
Born and raised in New Zealand, Hartley first became involved in the England academy set-up after visiting Sussex on holiday in 2002, aged 16.
He moved to the UK on a permanent basis and initially signed for Worcester Warriors, before moving to Northampton Saints, who converted him from a prop to a hooker.
Hartley made his Saints debut in 2005 and, in 280 games for the club, has captained them to the Premiership title and a European final.
At international level he has amassed 66 caps since his debut in 2008 but has not played since last year's Six Nations because of injury and well-documented disciplinary issues.
As England's most capped player in the current squad, Hartley seems like the ideal choice as captain.
But he has been suspended for on-field incidents for a total of 54 weeks in his career and it has seen him miss several major international tournaments.
Bans have seen him miss two World Cups, in 2007 and 2015, and one British and Irish Lions tour.
Hartley did make it to the 2011 World Cup with England, but received his first and only international yellow card in the victory over Georgia, and was also among the squad members who were photographed on a night out at a dwarf-throwing event in New Zealand.
England's coaching team has been overhauled since their disappointing home World Cup campaign last year, where they failed to get out of the group stages, and straight-talking Jones will bring a different attitude to that of his predecessor Stuart Lancaster.
Flanker Chris Robshaw, who was captain throughout Lancaster's tenure, got on with his game with little drama, but it is thought Jones wants a more confrontational character to lead his new-look side - and so has picked Hartley as his man.
"It will be a controversial appointment but most good captains play on the edge," said Lennie Newman, who signed Hartley to Northampton's academy.
"He's not the knight in shining armour, coming down the track on a white horse, saving the princess from the tower. But Eddie Jones knows the characters he wants in his side.
"You'll get the staunch disciplinarians saying, 'what on earth are we doing?' They will use the word thug. People who use the word thug have never met Dylan.
"He's a thoroughly decent man. I know the man and I know what he can do for England. Everybody in life deserves a second chance."
And one of Hartley's victims - Wasps captain James Haskell - said he "could not care less" about previous indiscretions and has also backed "abrasive" Hartley as someone who will "command respect".
"There might be a few people with stiff collars who will get upset, but that's the nature of the game," said Haskell. "You live and die by the sword.
"He'll lead by example and his passion for the shirt is renowned."
Disciplinary issues aside, a debate has arisen over whether Hartley should even be first-choice hooker for England's Six Nations campaign.
He has struggled with a rib injury and concussion in recent weeks, and rivals Luke Cowan-Dickie and Jamie George have caught the eye in the Premiership.
"My view on a leader is that first they are a consistent player," former England centre Jeremy Guscott told BBC Sport. "Dylan Hartley is in fierce competition with Jamie George - and George will probably be my choice.
"Hartley is unquestionably one of the best scrummagers and line-out technicians in the squad but I'm struggling to see him fit Eddie Jones' requirements in terms of energy, pace, fitness and enthusiasm."
Analysis - Paul Grayson, former Northampton fly-half and coach
"I coached Dylan as an 18-year-old and watched him grow from a chunky little loose-head prop to a very, very good hooker. I've watched him then become a captain, in a bid to calm him down a bit and add some responsibility to him, and 99% of the time that has been the case.
"Dylan is an excellent captain - not just on the field but around the environment of a club. He's a shop steward for his players. If he feels they need a break from coaching or if they need something different, he's happy to stand up and represent them.
"I would say the vast majority of his time as a captain, he's been an exemplary role model. But he's had a year off through bans and that muddies the water somewhat. Separating the two is hard.
"Will he do a good job for England? I have absolutely no doubt. Will you watch it with half an eye closed thinking don't get sin-binned for something silly? Yes, I probably will."
Fees were due to start last Monday, but a delay to install the new system and train staff meant charging had to be postponed.
The council said reintroducing charges was necessary to fund a new ferry and support the service.
But it has angered residents who formed a Facebook group to oppose the charges.
The 38-year-old chain ferry, which links Cowes and East Cowes, is being replaced by Isle of Wight Council next summer.
The chain ferry, which takes about two to three minutes to cross the river and means users avoid a 20-mile round trip, has provided free river crossings for pedestrians and cyclists since 1992.
An estimated one million foot passengers and cyclists use it each year.
Tolls for drivers currently range from £2.20 for cars to £7.60 for lorries. Pedestrians and cyclists will have to pay 40p return.
Once a smartcard system is introduced, non-smartcard holders will pay 70p. Travel is free for under-19s or bus pass holders.
The decision to charge pedestrians and cyclists was made in February.
But nowhere has it posed as serious a threat as in Brazil, where the first reports of locally transmitted infection of the virus emerged in May 2015.
Zika would have posed a challenge to Brazil's health system at the best of times, but to make matters worse, it has come at a time when Brazil is struggling with its worst recession in two decades.
Government coffers are depleted and the 2016 federal budget for Brazil's decentralised universal healthcare system (Sistema Unica de Saude or SUS) has decreased by 3.8bn reais ($1.1bn; £724m).
Zika outbreak: What you need to know
According to the Brazilian constitution, citizens are entitled to free healthcare through its SUS healthcare system.
However, in recent years, it seems that the government has been failing to meet this constitutional right as it has come under increasing financial pressure.
Jose and Maria Stabelini are a married elderly couple living in the municipality of Santo Andre in Sao Paulo state.
For years, they have relied on Brazil's universal healthcare system and its pharmacies to obtain the medications they need to treat Mr Stabelini's diabetes and Mrs Stabelini's Alzheimer's disease.
In the past, they would simply travel to their local SUS hospital and present the necessary paperwork to receive their medication free of charge.
But since 2013, they have not been able to get their medication there.
An official at Sao Paulo's Department of Health said the bureaucracy involved in buying the medication and delayed deliveries from drug manufactures were to blame.
SUS pharmacies in Sao Paulo have not been provided with a steady supply of high-cost drugs by the Ministry of Health in the capital, Brasilia, leading to a backlog of patients waiting for their medication.
The result is that even the SUS pharmacies in Sao Paulo, one of Brazil's wealthiest states, can provide only the most common medications for free.
The more complex and expensive medications that the Stabelinis need are beyond SUS pharmacies' means.
Faced with this situation, their daughter Tania was forced to step in and help.
"To obtain medicine for my parents, I have to take the time to do research on the internet to see where the cheapest medicines are available [in private pharmacies]," she says.
"Then, myself, my brother and sister divide up the costs and travel to get them."
The Stabelini children have ended up having to pay for the parents' medicines out of their own pocket at private pharmacies, which they say has imposed a considerable financial burden on them.
Tania says they are not the only ones facing this problem.
"Because of the shortage of medicine through SUS, people are getting used to searching for medicine all over the place, for affordable medicine, which is often difficult to find.
"They search and if they find it, they buy it. At times many are unsuccessful."
In order to avoid facing the same problems as her parents one day, she has decided to get private health insurance for herself.
But this is a costly option out of reach to most of Brazil's poor.
And Tania has little hope that the situation will improve. "I'm not optimistic, the government needs to invest more resources into SUS," she says.
Because access to medicine is a constitutional right in Brazil, some Brazilians have gone to court to force the state government to give them the medication that they need.
While the number of such lawsuits has increased in recent years, it is clearly a last resort for most.
And it is not just high-cost medication that there is a shortage of. There is also a lack of doctors and nurses working in the universal healthcare system.
Low pay and long hours in the SUS' primary care sector mean many medical staff opt instead for more lucrative salaries in the private sector.
With the spread of Zika and the extra demands the virus has made on Brazil's underfunded healthcare system, the government is at further risk of not meeting its citizens' constitutional rights to essential medicines and healthcare.
If Brazil is to re-emerge as a healthy and prosperous nation, the government will have to make tackling this problem one of its priorities. | Large stores should be banned from opening on Boxing Day, an MP has suggested, as an antidote to the nation's "obsession with shopping".

Currently the taxi-booking app relies on Google's mapping technology to display local maps and mark pick-up locations.
But a senior Uber executive says that more relevant information can be drawn if it produces its own road maps.
The firm is said to be investing $500m (£380m) in the mapping project.
"Existing maps are a good starting point, but some information isn't that relevant to Uber, like ocean topography," said Brian McClendon, who up until 2014 was vice-president of Google Maps.
Writing on Uber's website, Mr McClendon said: "There are other things we need to know a lot more about, like traffic patterns and precise pick-up and drop-off locations."
"Moreover, we need to be able to provide a seamless experience in parts of the world where there aren't detailed maps, or street signs," he added.
Last year, Uber began scanning roads across the US using mapping cars, which can track the geographical position of each street and motorway.
The firm said that these vehicles will be operational in Mexico "this summer", as part of a wider plan to use these vehicles in big cities around the world.
According to The Financial Times, Uber has set aside some $500m for its global mapping strategy.
Uber declined to comment on the purported investment figure, as well as the structure of its global plan, when contacted by the BBC.
Scott Vineer was found with severe brain and head injuries close to the towpath on Laganbank Road.
Ryan Craig, from Ashmount Gardens, Lisburn, County Antrim, was due to go on trial for attempted murder.
In light of his guilty plea to the lesser charge on Tuesday, the crown decided not to proceed.
Mr Vineer, who now walks with crutches, was in Craigavon court supported by his family.
Speaking afterwards, he said he was pleased and relieved.
His mother, Helen-Louise, said: "The night they found him, they told us they expected him to die, and when he survived for 24 hours, they thought he would be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life - so he has proved them wrong, and that's my boy."
She said the attack on her teenage son had left him with brain damage.
"He has tremors in his left arm, and being left-handed that causes him problems," she said.
"His balance has been affected, his short-term memory has been affected and his speech can be quite slurred at times."
Scott Vineer also revealed that he was now preparing for a different challenge, that of being best man at his mother and step-father's wedding in August.
"I'll have to write a speech and all. It's going to be nerve-wracking, but I'll get over it," he said.
Craig will be sentenced in August.
Scott Vineer was 17 when he was assaulted on his way home from the South Eastern Regional College in September 2012.
He was beaten about the head and left unconscious behind a disused warehouse on the Lagan towpath, in Lisburn.
He spent three months in a coma, only returning home six months after the attack.

The champions will attempt to secure their first Grand Slam since 2003 by beating France in Paris on Saturday.
Australian Jones - who became England's first foreign coach in November - has won the trophy at his first attempt.
"It's a fantastic achievement," he told BBC Sport.
"We've made sure the players are responsible, we play in a style that suits our resources and the players enjoy themselves."
Jones has overseen an evolution in England's style and personnel since taking over from Stuart Lancaster in the wake of the team's exit from the group stages of the Rugby World Cup in October.
Hooker Dylan Hartley has replaced Chris Robshaw as captain, while 21-year-old second row Maro Itoje is among those to be given debuts.
After a 15-9 victory away to Scotland in their Championship opener, England cruised to a 40-9 win over Italy before coming through strongly in the second half to beat Ireland 21-10 in Jones' first home match at Twickenham.
After holding off a late Wales rally to claim a 25-21 victory the day before, England's title was confirmed as France, the only side who could possibly overhaul them at the top of the table, were beaten 29-18 at Murrayfield.
Reacting to England's Six Nations triumph, Sir Clive Woodward, who led England to Grand Slam and World Cup glory in 2003, sent his congratulations on Twitter.
"[Winning the Six Nations] is a serious turnaround from RWC shambles - Eddie Jones 10/10 brilliant," tweeted the former England head coach.
Meanwhile, Sale hooker Tommy Taylor has replaced the injured Jamie George in England's 32-man training squad ahead of next Saturday's game against France in Paris.

Hundreds of women across the UK say the procedure - used to treat incontinence and prolapse after childbirth - has left them physically and mentally scarred.
A report by the NHS England-led Mesh Working Group, published last week, said the use of mesh was still "a safe option".
The Welsh Government said it was going to set up a working group to "consider the latest recommendations and determine what further action we may need to take".
Karen Preater, a member of the Welsh Mesh Survivors group, said the surgery ruined her life. Here, she tells her story.
I'm 40, yet I feel 100.
Before I had this operation, I had a good job in sales. I was a happy, active mum and I had a great relationship with my partner of 12 years.
Now I'm in constant pain, I walk with a stick, I lost my job and the intimate side of my relationship is ruined.
My life has changed beyond recognition and I struggle with depression. If it wasn't for my family, I probably wouldn't be talking to you now.
It started in 2014, when I had a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) inserted to treat urinary incontinence.
I'd suffered with it for seven years, after my son was born weighing 10lb 1oz.
Eventually I was referred to a gynaecology department and they did a few tests and said the best thing they could advise was to have a sling (also called a mesh or tape) inserted.
I'd never heard of it before but they said 'oh it's just a little sling to pull you up and help with the incontinence'.
It sounded fantastic - the nurse said I'd only be in hospital a day but I ended up staying in for eight.
As soon as I came round from the anaesthetic, I was in excruciating pain with my left hip and thigh.
I couldn't pass any water so had to use catheters.
Hospital staff said that was normal because I'd just had an operation on my bladder but there was no real explanation given for the pain. I was given painkillers and kept in hospital.
I eventually hobbled out on crutches, still in pain, and still not being able to empty my bladder fully.
Three-and-a-half years later, I still have to self-catheterise five to six times a day.
And the pain is constant. It's in my hip, thigh and my groin.
There are things that aggravate it, like too much walking, or if I drive too far. But it never goes away - day in, day out, through the night, it just never lets up.
I don't use crutches any more but I do use a walking stick to take the pressure off my leg.
I get random shooting pains and sometimes my leg just goes out from under me. A few times I have ended up at the bottom of the stairs, so my partner had to put in a banister on both sides to stop me falling.
I'd always worked full-time, I had a really good job in field sales but it involved a lot of driving and I had to give it up.
When you're used to seeing people every day, sitting at home alone when the kids are in school, you do start to go a bit stir crazy and there are days when I just think, 'just shut the door, keep everything out'.
It's massively affected my relationship with my partner and it's really tough on the kids. I used to do lots of things with them - going out for a walk or swimming - but now it's got to the point where they've just given up asking.
They won't say "can we go for a day out?" because a day out for me is usually not a day - it's a couple of hours with a lot of rests and it also means I then have to spend extra time recuperating.
I couldn't run in the parents' race at my son's sports day, even though I always did it for the older two. It's little things like that which might not seem a lot to somebody but it's a lot to me.
After I had my son, I did get a bit of post-natal depression, which turned into full depression. I was medicated slightly but these last three years my meds have been doubled.
I just have to get by reasoning that I am going to have really low days and I just need to get through that day, that's all that matters, just getting through one day and then starting the next one.
I've spent the last three-and-a-half years trying to find out what's wrong with me.
I've probably seen five or six different consultants in different departments, and they've all said "I'm really flummoxed as to what's the matter, it's not my speciality, I'll have to send you to a different doctor".
It wasn't until I saw Kath Sansom, the founder of the Sling the Mesh campaign, on the news that I thought 'well, maybe this is what's the matter'. I'm now waiting to see a gynaecologist.
There are specialists that can remove mesh but it's not an easy operation because the damage that's done is in the nerves.
I know of women that have had six or seven surgeries because it has to be taken out bit by tiny bit and at this point in time, I don't think I could mentally cope with that in-depth surgery and worrying that the pain could actually get worse.
There needs to be a suspension of this procedure in Wales and Wales needs to have its own inquiry into the complications.
So many women still don't have a clue and unless it's thoroughly looked into, we will still be in the same position in a few years' time.

The £1.7bn project was approved by the park authority last month.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) said ministers had decided not to call in the planning applications.
Almost 30 environmental and leisure organisations had urged rejection of the plans.
The area's three Conservative MPs and two local councils came out in support of the plan, claiming it would "transform" the local economy.
Developers Sirius Minerals plan to build the mine near Whitby and construct a 23-mile (37km) tunnel to transport the potash to a Teesside processing plant.
Chris Fraser, managing director and CEO of Sirius, said: "This is yet another positive step forward on our pathway to developing the project and increasing shareholder value."
Sirius has claimed the mine would deliver at least 1,000 permanent jobs.
Speaking after the park authority approved the application on 30 June, Ruth Bradshaw, from the Campaign for National Parks, said she was "disappointed" at the decision.
"We have long maintained that this project is completely incompatible with National Park purposes and that the promised economic benefits could never justify the huge damage that it would do to the area's landscape and wildlife, and to the local tourism economy," she said.
The group said it was considering a legal challenge against the building of the mine.
The North York Moors National Park Authority said it was working with Sirius on the final details of the plan "with a view to issuing a decision notice by the end of September 2015".
The mine is expected to be operating within five years.
The 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnel is part of a £2bn plan to make the A303 a dual carriageway.
A previous plan to build a tunnel on the route, which links London and the South West, was dropped seven years ago because of the cost.
Chancellor George Osborne said the plan would "transform" the A303 and "boost productivity" in the South West.
Mark Baker, a former county councillor from Larkhill, Wiltshire, said the work was essential, but he was not convinced the project would happen.
He said: "It's a significant amount of money to spend, but we're in the dying days of this government and I fail to see how the coalition can make pledges and promises when they don't know who will form the next government."
Highways spokesman for Durrington Town Council, David Goodman, described it as "very, very good news", but said "we have been here before".
"We'll be optimistic when that first spade goes in the ground," he said.
Janice Hassett of the Stonehenge Traffic Action Group, which has campaigned for action to be taken to alleviate congestion on the A303 in the area, said the news "felt good", but "the package must be tied up so tightly that no government can unravel it".
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the plan to "tackle the bottleneck at Stonehenge" would "get the funds it needs".
English Heritage, which runs the Stonehenge site, has previously described the bottleneck road as "highly detrimental" to the ancient monument.
Since the plan was dropped, local councils have continued to lobby for a tunnel and the widening of the A303.
Most recently, the head of the CBI, John Cridland, has backed the idea of a tunnel.
Senior Druid King Arthur Pendragon has also backed the idea of a tunnel, but only if there are "cast-iron" guarantees that any human remains found "are reinterred as close as possible to what should have been their final resting place".
A group that advises World Heritage body Unesco has warned a tunnel could have an "adverse impact" on the Stonehenge landscape.
In a letter seen by the BBC, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (Icomos) said it wanted a solution that "respects and maintains" the value of the "iconic and unique site".
Ralph Smyth of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) said it was "calling for a longer tunnel", as the proposed tunnel was too short and would create two "huge holes" which would affect the landscape around the World Heritage site.
The announcement is part of the government's infrastructure plan ahead of the Autumn Statement on Wednesday.
The plan also involves making part of the A303 in Somerset, between Sparkford and Ilchester, a dual carriageway.
Somerset will also see the A358, from the M5 at Taunton to the A303 at Southfields, become a dual carriageway.
David Laws, the Liberal Democrat MP for Yeovil, welcomed the announcement saying both the A358 and A303 were "not fit for purpose" and suffer from "massive areas of congestion".
The 26-year-old, who was a free agent after leaving Belgian team Royal Excel Mouscron, has signed a three-year contract with the O's.

Clyde lost 2-1 at Montrose, while Stirling Albion beat promotion hopefuls Elgin City 1-0.
Montrose are now five points off fourth-placed Annan Athletic and nine behind Elgin.
City are ahead of Clyde on goal difference but have played two more games than the bottom two sides.
Dale Carrick fired Cowdenbeath in front against Edinburgh, who were level by the 17th minute through Dougie Gair's penalty following Liam Henderson's foul on Joe Mbu.
Josh Walker's strike in the second half put City ahead and Cowden then had Fraser Mullen sent off.
At Forthbank Stadium, Stirling and Elgin were tied at 0-0 until Sean Dickson struck in the third minute of stoppage time.
Clyde, playing their first match since manager Barry Ferguson's resignation, fell behind to Kerr Hay's early strike and Greg Pascazio fired Montrose's second.
Peter MacDonald pulled one back for Clyde after the break.
Motiur Rahman Nizami, 73, was executed early on Wednesday (local time), Law Minister Anisul Haq confirmed.
He had been convicted of genocide, rape and torture.
Nizami had led Bangladesh's largest Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami. Hundreds of people gathered near his prison in the capital Dhaka to celebrate the hanging.
Nizami was the fifth and highest-ranked opposition leader to be executed since December 2013 for war crimes.
Bangladesh says the prosecutions are needed to heal the wounds of conflict but human rights groups say the trials fall short of global standards and lack international oversight.
War crimes trial: Key accused
Watershed war crimes moment
Bangladesh country profile
Last week, Nizami lost his final appeal against the sentence. He was hanged after refusing to seek mercy from President Abdul Hamid.
"Nizami has been deprived of justice," Jamaat's acting leader, Maqbul Ahmad, said. "He's a victim of political vengeance."
The party also called for a nationwide strike on Thursday.
Security was tightened across the country ahead of the execution.
Nizami is the fourth leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party to have been executed since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up a war crimes tribunal to look into abuses during the independence war.
A former government minister, Nizami was one of the most important figures to be found guilty.
He was convicted of setting up a militia which helped the Pakistani army identify and kill pro-independence activists.
Nizami will be buried in his village home in the northern part of Bangladesh.
His family met him briefly before his execution but left without speaking to the media, Bangladesh's Daily Star reports.
The hanging comes amid a spate of killings of liberal activists, secularists, foreigners and members of religious minorities that the government has blamed on Islamists.
The Lilac Sky Schools Academy Trust runs schools in Greenhithe, Sheerness, Folkestone, Hailsham and Newhaven.
The trust said it was working with the Department for Education (DfE) to ensure plans were in place for pupils for the new academic year in September.
The DfE said it was working to ensure there was no disruption to education.
In a statement the trust said: "Lilac Sky Schools Academy Trust has decided that in order to serve the needs of our children we should seek new partners to take on the running of our schools.
"We are also working closely with the principal of each school, as well as the new trusts, to ensure that the children's education is not disrupted.
"All of the schools will finish the academic year as planned and be able to reopen for the new academic year in September."
In November, the Regional Schools Commissioner's Office issued a pre-termination warning notice to the trust over "unacceptably low" standards at Marshlands Academy in Hailsham.
The commissioner said the number of pupils reaching level four or above in reading, writing and maths had fallen by 20% and was "significantly below the floor standard".
As much as Leicester City's transformation from relegation favourites to Premier League champions has been cast as fantasy football, the reality is a lot more calculated.
Diligent owners, resourceful scouting and an effervescent manager have played a telling part. But an innovative sports science and medical team, carefully integrated into the decision-making process, has created a perfect model for success.
Leicester are not alone in using cutting-edge technology in the Premier League, of course, but using beetroot shots as a performance enhancer and ice chambers to improve recovery do mark them out from the crowd.
The key difference is how manager Claudio Ranieri includes them in his plans. As former Liverpool fitness and conditioning coach Darren Burgess told BBC Sport: "Quite often, the coaches don't listen."
The result? A team that has suffered the fewest injuries, according to Physioroom.com, and used fewer players than any other Premier League club this season. Perfect for a team with relatively limited resources that employs a fast counter-attacking game.
When Ranieri was appointed last summer, the club's owners made it clear the backroom staff he inherited from previous boss Nigel Pearson were to be trusted. "He was quite taken aback with how we work the players here," said assistant manager Craig Shakespeare.
Already influential under Pearson, the staff have proven even more important for a Ranieri team built on speed. According to Opta, the champions have made more counter-attacks and scored more counter-attacking goals than any other team this season.
To do this, the players must be conditioned to perform sprints on a regular basis without their bodies breaking down. Striker Jamie Vardy, who has recorded the fastest speed in the Premier League this season - 35.44 km/h - and can perform up to 500m of sprints in every game, is a prime example.
First they must build hamstring strength, which they do using a custom-built leg press on which they can lift 350-500kg. They also use a piece of equipment called a NordBord, which allows them to improve and measure hamstring strength, sometimes even doing post-match exercises on it in the dressing room.
Towards the end of the week, players will also do sprint drills in order to expose them to peak speeds. Leicester strength and conditioning coach Matt Reeves said in a podcast earlier this season: "GPS data showed us that, even though we play in larger areas to allow players to reach high speeds, it was more down to circumstance. A centre-half might do it by chasing a ball over the top, but without that, they were lacking exposure."
So typically on a Thursday, when players might be tired after training, they are lined up to do a 40m sprint. It may sound like a recipe for injury but is exactly the opposite. Without that exposure, players are at risk on match days, and Leicester's lack of soft-tissue injuries would suggest it is a method that works.
Then there is the beetroot juice. According to scientists at the University of Exeter, drinking it improves sprint performance and decision-making.
Although the study found improvements were relatively low at 3.5%, even a marginal gain like this might be enough for the likes of Vardy to reach a cross before a defender.
Leicester's early exit from cups this season, allied to a lack of European football, has given their sports scientists an added advantage over other top teams in that they can plan the week's training with a high degree of control.
It also means players do not train too much and risk injury. That might sound obvious, but Leicester's decision to include a 48-hour recovery process after games, and have another day off in midweek, is a schedule not always followed by other clubs.
Everything is monitored, including the density of the pitch to see if it is too hard or soft, with the length of the session adapted accordingly. Player movement, meanwhile, is recorded through Catapult GPS vests, which show how far they run, the level of intensity, acceleration, deceleration, and changes of direction.
If explosive players such as Vardy have trained too hard and need to be pulled out of certain sessions, Ranieri is willing to listen to the experts around him.
"Some managers get good results without resorting to this type of screening," Burgess said. "But you can't help but be aided by good data to help manage players, particularly if they are playing a high-pressing game."
Added to this objective data, Leicester's players also complete a daily questionnaire on an iPad. They are asked how their bodies feel after the previous day's training so if several make a similar complaint of slight muscle soreness in their quadriceps, for example, the team can adjust the session next time to avoid a similar problem.
The questionnaire also asks how the player slept and whether they were disturbed in the night, all so they can adapt what they eat and drink to ensure they get the best rest possible.
"You can get carried away with all the objective information, so sometimes you can't beat just asking a player how they are feeling," Reeves said. "We take a very holistic approach and try to make it more personal by having key understanding of each individual."
When Vardy injured his hip in November, it looked as though his run of goals in consecutive games might come to an end. The fact he continued to play was down to a cryotherapy ice chamber, in which players are exposed to temperatures of -135C for up to four minutes.
"It's absolutely freezing but it helps you in your recovery, so fair play to the club for getting it," said Vardy. "I don't think even some of the brainiest men in the world would understand the name of the stuff they've been doing but they've been working on me all week."
The chamber works in a similar way to an ice bath, with blood withdrawn back to the heart before new oxygenated blood flushes into the player's muscles. Because it affects the whole body, Leicester's head physio Dave Rennie says it is far more effective, particularly when there is little time between games.
"The players like it because it's a dry ice so not as harsh on the skin as ice baths," Reeves said. "The players will often walk down the corridor afterwards looking light on their feet and feeling good in themselves. It also has a knock-on effect with sleep for that evening and the following evening."
Leicester's medical team also speed up the recovery process by using bags full of ice to massage their players. "It sounds freaky but it lowers the body temperature and gives the same stimulus as a massage while providing a nice big red patch on the players' skin," Reeves added. "In the players' minds there is a visual sign that the recovery process has started."

Whether rewarding his team with pizza for clean sheets or silencing talk of the title until the last few games, Ranieri has been a master of keeping his players focused and united this season.
Leicester's performance psychologist Ken Way told BBC Sport: "There are two psychologists at the club. One is me and the other is Claudio. The way he has spoken to the players has been exactly the same as when addressing the media. It's all about focusing on the process not the outcome, and some of the lines he uses leave my jaw on the floor."
Way credits Pearson for assembling the backroom team, which has fostered a culture where players are accountable for their own actions. Sprint scores are presented to the group en masse, midweek five-a-side tables are published and players watch clips of each other's performances.
"It's about empowering the players to make decisions for themselves rather than ruling over them," said Reeves. "It helps with the group culture and the fighting spirit."
The players have also been enjoying themselves. "Avoiding relegation last season was pressure," Way added. "If anything, it's reduced as this season has progressed. It's the same for the staff. When we won 3-1 at Manchester City, we were laughing to each other: 'What could really happen this season?'"
The celebrations at Vardy's house once the title was won gave an insight into the bond that exists in the team. That is nothing new.
Way says big personalities such as Wes Morgan, Christian Fuchs, Robert Huth and Vardy have been essential to the team ethic, even if they enjoy belting footballs at each other on the training pitch or cracking eggs on each other's heads.
"The fans have been singing that Jamie Vardy's having a party all season, but even though they take their work seriously, it's been a party on the training pitch too, at times. Everyone has enjoyed the ride."
GPS data, ice baths and sprinting are hardly revolutionary in a sport that now employs more sports scientists than ever.
As Burgess points out, Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce carved out something of a niche in the field when he was in charge of Bolton, achieving four successive top-10 Premier League finishes between 2003 and 2007. This season, the Trotters were relegated to the third tier.
But while some clubs work in silos, Leicester's backroom teams have drawn together to help turn the club into winners, despite competing with clubs with far greater resources.
"It's a three-pronged approach of the sports science and medical teams, the coaching department and the players coming together with an understanding of what we are trying to achieve," said Reeves.
Burgess added: "Quite often sports science is not used to its full potential but we've seen the results at Leicester and I would be stunned if other teams don't jump on board.
"That's why I've been supporting Leicester like my first team. This is one of the biggest upsets in the history of world sport and, hopefully, it will change some of the beliefs in football about the impact good sports science can have."
The 28-year-old Ireland international was charged with striking Toulon hooker Guilhem Guirado with his knee during the 24-9 defeat in France.
The striking charge was found to be not proven but the incident was deemed to be foul play.
Healy misses the return fixture against Toulon and a Pro12 match with Munster.
Although there were no aggravating factors, judicial officer Roger Morris said the ban could not be reduced because Healy does not have a clean disciplinary record.
The Ireland forward could have received a minimum three-week ban had be been found guilty of deliberately striking Guirado.
The match citing commissioner, John Byett, made a complaint to European Professional Club Rugby following the incident, for which Healy was sin-binned.
Leinster, who have lost all three of their Pool Five matches so far, host holders Toulon at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
They then face Munster in a Pro12 derby on 27 December.
The accident happened on the A75, two miles east of Castle Douglas, at about 15:35 on Wednesday.
The victim, who was from Dalbeattie, was the car driver. The 46-year-old van driver, from Dumfries, was taken to hospital with leg injuries.
The road was closed in both directions for a number of hours.
A diversion was set up via the A711, through Dalbeattie.
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Cafodd Arthur Ray Taylor sy'n naw deg oed ei weld diwethaf yn gadael clwb cychod Gwbert am 09:30 fore Sadwrn.

The 29-year-old usually plays at centre-back or right-back but can also operate in midfield or up front.
He is the Seagulls' third loan signing in the past week and manager Sami Hyypia said: "With Aaron Hughes out injured we needed cover.
"Greg has an abundance of experience in the Championship and Premier League."
Hyypia added: "With Aaron out we wanted that level of experience to be replaced as well, so he is a good fit."
Halford has scored eight goals in 82 appearances since joining Forest in summer 2012 but he has not featured so far this season.
Albion defender Hughes, who can play all across the back line, is currently sidelined with an ankle injury while first-choice centre-backs Gordon Greer and Lewis Dunk are each one booking away from a one-match ban.
Halford, who began his career at Colchester and has had permanent spells at Reading, Sunderland, Wolves and Portsmouth, becomes the sixth loan player on Brighton's books - one more than the number permitted in a 18-man matchday squad in the Championship.
He fell to the floor after an attempted tackle on flanker Dave Ward in Sale's loss at Harlequins on 7 January but played on for the rest of the game.
The 27-year-old Samoan was not treated on the field but was assessed by the Sale team doctor after the tackle.
The report concluded it "was matter of clinical judgement by the team doctor".
"The team doctor's decision was based on his view of the injury mechanism in both real-time and following video review, and his direct assessment of the player's immediate and subsequent response to the injury event," it said.
"The team doctor was in the immediate vicinity of the player, reviewed the real-time video footage and was best placed to make that decision.
"In continuing to monitor, reassess and question the player, both during and after the match, the team doctor was continuing his responsibility to evaluate the player's condition for any signs of a suspected head injury or concussion; none was apparent."
The CMRG panel was chaired by Dr Julian Morris and includes the Rugby Football Union's director of professional rugby Nigel Melville and Premiership rugby director Phil Winstanley.
I was with the army as they detonated left-over munitions near a major battle scene.
"Here, crouch behind these sandbags," they told me as we stood, in protective clothing, a few hundred metres from the detonation site. "If shrapnel comes anywhere near, just duck."
I decided to retreat a lot further back. The thud was impressive.
We were in the devastated land which saw the last bitter fighting of the war. Many tall palmyrah trees had lost their tops.
Half-submerged in the arid ground I saw a single flip-flop and a plastic shoe. Who had worn them?
This is where tens of thousands of people cowered - trapped between the Tamil Tigers who conscripted their children and shot those trying to escape - and the army bombardments.
Large tracts are still mined. There are buildings sliced in half; buses with an end missing. Most poignant are the mundane things: someone's trousers, a plastic chair, cushions, a rusting bedstead.
I looked towards a damaged Catholic church (there are both Catholics and Hindus among the local Tamil population). The church had been cleared of mines and a Sinhalese soldier took me inside. "I'm a Roman Catholic," he told me - a minority in the mainly Buddhist military.
Sections of the roof had been ripped out, leaving a zigzag pattern of light. The soldier stood by the broken glass of a small shrine to Mary and told me he felt consoled that 13 of the 14 Stations of the Cross were undamaged.
Earlier I met a man born and bred in this place. He had lost his brother and his sister as this area was being besieged. "We were climbing over bodies," he said.
Only now, after demining, are families beginning to return to their plots in these villages, many coming on recce visits from refugee camps.
Surviving buildings are mostly unsafe and will have to be destroyed. And people here have little with which they can rebuild.

Not far away, life seems more normal. A Tamil fisherman wades into the Nanthidakal lagoon and casts his net. There is a jetty and fishing boats here, a low causeway across which trucks trundle into the town of Mullaitivu.
There is little evidence of what happened here in 2009. Huge numbers of Tamils fled from the besieged zone across this lagoon. On its shore the body of the dead Tiger leader, Prabhakaran, was filmed, his scalp covered to conceal the fact that much of it was missing.
There is something which jars. There are many new signs in the neighbourhood, giving for instance the name of the lagoon or the government's account of what happened here during the conflict.
Indeed, a war "tourist trail" is already springing up for Sri Lankan tourists. But nearly all the signs are in Sinhala and English only - not in Tamil, the local language and, of course, the language of the people who lost so much.
This is repeated all over the area: at a museum of captured Tiger equipment; at Prabhakaran's bunker, now a tourist spot.
At the bunker there are in fact many Tamil visitors including schoolchildren from nearby, and expatriates from Germany. A Sinhalese soldier, fluent in Tamil, acts as their guide. That is impressive. But there is barely a word of Tamil on the signs.
At two places we ask the military why this is. "There was not anyone who could speak the language, but we would like to put up Tamil signs soon," one soldier says. Another, though, tells me he has mentioned it to the higher authorities - "but nobody is interested".
What does this say for reconciliation efforts in this country, whose war sprang partly from the fact that Tamils had said they felt like second-class citizens?
There are more immediate concerns. Along with the struggle to rebuild, there is little employment available.
By chance we met a former Tiger militant. He said there were no opportunities and no jobs. But he did not want war again.
The army presence is still massive. Travelling across northern Sri Lanka is like criss-crossing from garrison to garrison.
In fact the number of soldiers on patrol has fallen sharply. They have been asked to reduce their visibility. And many places like the army-run cafes and shops which had sprung up, have now been closed.
But the government says it still fears a resurgence of the Tamil Tigers and it is not loosening its grip.
In one place an officer told us the army's intelligence network had actually expanded. "We've been asked to keep a register of what people do and where they go," he said. "We even monitor schoolchildren's activities. We know what people eat for their lunch."

Selman survived an awkward start and accelerated to reach the third century of his career.
Jacques Rudolph (58) and Colin Ingram (84 not out) played their parts in Glamorgan's best batting of the season.
Earlier the Foxes' last two wickets added 110 runs to frustrate the Welsh county's attack.
The big hitting of tail-enders Ben Raine, Clint McKay and Charlier Shreck looked to have swung the momentum in the home side's favour.
But Selman's increasingly confident innings and a mature knock from Ingram made sure that Glamorgan passed the follow-on target with just four wickets down, shortly before the close.
Leicestershire all-rounder Clint McKay told BBC Radio Leicester:
"They bowled quite nicely this morning but me and Charles (Shreck) got lucky enough to get away with a few and build that total past 400.
"(Rudolph) is a world-class player, he showed his class and batted beautifully, got them off to a nice start and we couldn't drag the scoring rate back throughout the day.
"I'd say it's even, four down on a very nice wicket, and the second new ball is going to be what makes the difference in the game."
Glamorgan batsman Nick Selman told BBC Wales Sport:
"Coming off the back of the last two games it was good to get some runs, me and Col [Colin Ingram] had the mindset of being busy and being positive.
"We got through a tough spell after lunch and reaped our reward afterwards, it was a shame to get out but hopefully Colin can kick on and get a big one.
"If we get through the new ball and get a good lead, the ball's going to be in our court."
Only 12 months ago they required a last-day victory against West Ham United at St James' Park to avoid relegation.
This time there was no escaping the drop into the Championship, confirmed by Sunderland's victory over Everton on Wednesday.
The long flirtation with the second tier is now a full-blown embrace, proof that survival only lasts so long amid poor management, bad choices and signings that were simply not fit for purpose.
So how has a club such as Newcastle United ended up in such a desperate plight and what does the future hold?
Manager Rafael Benitez is unanimously accepted as a force for good on Tyneside - the only regret being owner Mike Ashley did not sack Steve McClaren and appoint the Spaniard earlier to give him more time to mount a survival mission.
If Mike Ashley is decisive in business, he has paid a heavy price for inertia in football
And the pain of Newcastle's relegation is likely to be exacerbated by uncertainty surrounding Benitez, who has a "break clause" in the three-year deal he signed in early March.
At the time he said: "Some people can see this as special but it's normal. I am trying to stay in the Premier League and if I have a compromise for the future it's because I am convinced we will do well."
Benitez, after losing three of his first four games in charge, led Newcastle on a five-game unbeaten run with victories against Swansea City and Crystal Palace, as well as drawing from 2-0 down at Liverpool, before Saturday's damaging draw at Aston Villa.
It means that, despite relegation, Benitez has done his reputation within the game as an astute strategist no harm and will make his possible availability an attractive prospect for clubs throughout Europe with his pedigree of managing sides such as Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli and Real Madrid.
Will Benitez, at 56, want to take the next step of his career in the Championship, attempting to gain promotion from a division he has never experienced, when better offers are likely elsewhere?
Will he see his next step as digging out results at places like Brentford, Burton, Rotherham and Huddersfield?
It is a hard, perhaps impossible, sell for Ashley, who would almost have to offer Benitez the keys to his kingdom to tempt him - and even then with no guarantee of success.
Benitez may believe he can do better than the Championship and the odds must be on him leaving - adding this to the long list of missed opportunities for Newcastle United.
There have been suggestions Benitez has become so hooked on the passion of the Toon Army that he will stay despite relegation, but he is a cold realist not a romantic and he will want solid promises from Ashley before even considering it.
Ashley's public utterances are rare, but he was moved to speak on the final day of last season before Newcastle got that victory against West Ham to stay up.
He insisted Newcastle were not for sale at "any price" until they won a trophy. This promises to be a very long stay unless relegation changes his mind.
Newcastle put John Carver in place after Alan Pardew departed for Crystal Palace in January 2015 and only just stayed up after he only won three games and lost 12 out of 19.
Survival and Ashley's willingness to spend offered Newcastle a chance to build, but once again poor decision-making holed them below the waterline straightaway.
Instead of ambition, Newcastle's long-suffering fans got the uninspired low-key appointment of McClaren. This was a choice that seemed long in the making, despite McClaren lacking credibility and turning up as damaged goods after failing to take Derby County into the Championship play-offs despite heavy financial backing.
Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley was the man behind McClaren's appointment, described in the usual terms as "the perfect fit". He was far from it, winning only six games and losing 16 out of 28 before he was sacked in March.
Whereas Newcastle just about got away with Carver as a holding operation, Ashley and his colleagues must now know they made a mistake not getting rid of McClaren earlier.
He was clearly a lame duck a month before his departure but was allowed to survive to lose four of his last five games in charge. If Ashley is decisive in business, he has paid a heavy price for inertia in football.
It almost smacked of "it will never happen to us" complacency.
Benitez was available and another month working with those Newcastle players might just have saved the club. He was given 10 games to save Newcastle. Not long enough, even for a man of his experience.
Ashley, it seems, will never rid himself of his reputation as a malign figure at the club, despite spending £80m on eight players since the summer. He bought Sir John Hall's 41.6% stake in the club in May 2007 and took full control later that year but has never forged a bond with the fans.
This is a loveless relationship and perhaps relegation to the Championship - even though it would make a sale of the club much harder and less lucrative - may just persuade Ashley his time is up.
Newcastle are a giant sporting institution that attract 52,000 fans to its cathedral on the hill, the magnificent St James' Park arena so close to the city with just one club to call its own.
This status cannot shield it from reality, however, and one look at the results and rampant instability that have characterised Newcastle means this demise should not come as a shock.
In their past eight Premier League seasons they have finished in the top 10 only twice - fifth under Pardew in 2011-12 and 10th under him in 2013-14. They were relegated in 2008-09 and just scraped up into 15th last season. The pattern is there.
And what about the manager's chair? Since Graeme Souness was sacked in February 2006 - admittedly before Ashley's arrival - 11 managers have been in charge in one capacity or another.
Benitez is currently at the helm and there has also been McClaren, Carver, Pardew, Chris Hughton, Alan Shearer, Joe Kinnear, Kevin Keegan, Nigel Pearson, Sam Allardyce and Glenn Roeder.
There is only so much instability a club can take and Newcastle have overdosed on it.
Newcastle's next manager must study the squad and find out who is good enough to play in the Championship - and also who wants to play in the Championship.
The Toon Army squad is heavily built on foreign imports and it will be an alien environment where the right to play must be won, often in the heat of physical battle. Is this the arena they wish to perform in?
Newcastle will be well blessed in goal with Tim Krul on the road to recovery from a knee injury and Rob Elliot and Karl Darlow providing back-up.
But it is surely the end for the likes of 30-year-old Steven Taylor, while Fabricio Coloccini is 34 and troubled by injuries.
It is likely players such as Georginio Wijnaldum, signed from PSV Eindhoven for £14.5m and Chancel Mbemba, an £8.4m capture from Anderlecht, may feel they can look for better than the Championship. Will Aleksandar Mitrovic, the striker bought from Anderlecht for £14.5m feel the same?
Ayoze Perez is a 22-year-old striker of promise who will attract interest, while others who have been around a while such as Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko may not be enamoured by the second tier. Their form has been so patchy they may well form part of a clear-out.
It could be that they will have to get on with it if Newcastle do not conduct a fire sale. If they can keep those players happy then the chances of a quick return may just be improved.
England duo Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend were big-money buys in January for a combined total of £24m. Shelvey has been a mixed bag and will be on a reported £80,000-a-week in the Championship, while Townsend has been a rare success.
He has looked revitalised and may also attract suitors. There have been reports he can leave for £8m in the event of relegation.
There is some promise within the squad but the trick will be to keep them together - easier said than done once the cold reality of life in the lower leagues sets in.
Aston Villa's ability to survive in the Championship has been questioned; Newcastle's fiercely loyal fans will expect them to come straight back up to the Premier League.
Newcastle did it once when they returned immediately under Chris Hughton in 2009-10. Can they do it again?
The air must be cleared quickly on Tyneside but one glance around them will deliver the evidence that there is no guarantee of a quick return ticket, as clubs with a history more glorious than Newcastle United's have found.
Leeds United, floored by financial meltdown, were last in the Premier League in 2003-04 and spent three seasons in League One before returning to the Championship, while other hugely successful clubs in the 1970s and 80s have found it tough to come back.
Nottingham Forest, European Cup winners in 1979 and 1980, have been outside the top tier since 1998-99, while Ipswich Town have been away since 2001-02.
Newcastle, at least, have huge potential and are on a sound financial footing, but Ashley must act quickly to restore faith and optimism or perhaps decide it is a job for someone else.
Benitez's future must be top of the agenda before he or another manager begins addressing the matter of reshaping a squad for the Championship.
Newcastle's relegation is the result of years of poor decisions. They cannot afford any more after this latest devastating setback.

This is the person who makes important decisions in their country.
There are 11 people who want the job.
But there is one candidate in particular, Marine Le Pen, leader of the party Front National, that many people have been talking about.
Martin has been looking into why people have very different opinions about her.
He said people will see "less first class in the future" with busy suburban trains having "one class" instead.
Mr Grayling suggested operators may be forced to scrap first class areas when franchises are awarded in the future.
Rail Delivery Group - which represents train operators - said it would work to increase seat numbers on key lines.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Mr Grayling said he was "absolutely" committed to scrapping first class carriages on shorter, commuter routes, at busy times of the day, and wanted train operators to take action if passengers demanded it.
"I absolutely understand what a total pain it is if you are standing on a train for 20 to 30 minutes on the way to work," he told the paper.
"I don't really see a case for a non-long distance journey for there to be any division between first and second class. There should just be one class on the train."
"People will see less first class in the future as we start to say that on busy suburban trains you can't start segregating," he added.
The Department for Transport issues contracts to run rail franchises in England, and can include conditions such as whether first class seating should be provided.
In March, ahead of contract negotiations to run the Southeastern franchise, passengers were asked if they wanted to remove first class seats at busy times.
The contract to run the line - which serves south-east London, Kent and parts of East Sussex - expires next year.
Other franchises to be renewed in the next 12 months include the West Coast Main Line from April 2019, and the East Midlands regional contract, which has three firms bidding to run the contract from March 2018.
However, some are not due for renewal for several years, with the Northern and East Anglia franchises currently not due for renewal until 2025.
David Sidebottom, director of Transport Focus - which represents passengers - said it was important train users have a choice, "as long as that choice is not to the extreme detriment of everyone else".
"A balance needs to be achieved between the number of standard and first class carriages a train has," he added.
"However, it is clear that where passengers are being squeezed into standard class carriages while there are plenty of empty seats in first class, this balance is not being achieved.
"In the long-term we need a big increase in capacity. This means continued investment in new and longer trains to meet existing demand."
Paul Plummer, chief executive of the Rail Delivery Group - which represents train operators - said firms were prepared to work with the government over the issue.
"We understand passengers' frustration when they can't get a seat which is why rail companies are working together to invest and improve journeys with thousands of new carriages and 6,400 extra train services a week by 2021," he said.
"We will continue to work with governments to increase seats on key routes to boost communities, businesses and the economy."
It was found at Weybourne in Norfolk on Tuesday and is now known to be a whale which washed up almost a month ago.
Norfolk cetacean recorder Carl Chapman said a species of giant squid could have matched its description.
"The theory that [sperm] whales were chasing squid remains valid," he said, although there was no evidence as yet.
"When we heard it might be a giant squid, we thought this could be significant."
He said: "I think at the moment people are very aware of the whale sightings and we are receiving a lot of reports which come to nothing."
Live: Latest Norfolk whale updates
The minke whale carcass was washed off the beach at high tide on Wednesday morning and found at Sheringham.
The false alarm came after a seventh whale was seen in trouble off the coast at Mundesley on Tuesday morning.
The coastguard launched a search but could find no further trace of the creature.
It is hoped the whale safely returned to deeper waters.
A sperm whale died at Hunstanton last week, the second to die there recently, and four others were found dead in Lincolnshire.
There have been 30 sperm whale deaths in the North Sea this year.
The Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, which examines all whale, dolphin and porpoise strandings in the UK, is working to establish why the whales came ashore and how they died.
This could help answer why the whales, thought to have come from the same bachelor pod normally living off the west coast of Norway, were in the North Sea.
Logan Peters was arrested in Plymouth on 7 May on suspicion of criminal damage. He was charged and released but was found dead the next day.
The IPCC will consider a complaint from the 22 year old's family that excessive force was used during the arrest.
IPCC Commissioner Tom Milsom will oversee the investigation.
Mr Milson, who will meet Mr Peters's family as part of the investigation, said: "I would like to assure them that we will look at the force used at arrest and all of the actions and decisions taken in relation to the risk assessments during Logan's time in custody.
"Additionally, we will look at the communication processes between the custody staff, and the period of detention, to determine whether all national and force policies and guidelines were adhered to."
The telecoms regulator Ofcom said Homeserve had been guilty of a serious breach of its rules on such calls.
Ofcom said it hoped the fine would send a "strong message" to all companies.
The Walsall based firm has offered to pay compensation of £10 each to the estimated 51,000 householders who were called in February and March last year.
The company blamed faulty equipment at a call centre firm which had been contracted to make the calls on its behalf.
"HomeServe identified the issue and promptly reported it to Ofcom, following an internal audit of all of HomeServe's telemarketing operations," the insurer said.
"The problem was identified as having resulted from the incorrect use of Answering Machine Detection technology via an outsourcer.
"HomeServe can also confirm that all of its dialler systems have been fully compliant with Ofcom regulations since 22 March 2011, following the rectification of the errors identified during HomeServe's audit," it added.
Ofcom's Consumer Group Director, Claudio Pollack, said: "Our rules are there to prevent consumers suffering annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety from silent or abandoned calls."
"We hope today's fine will send a strong message to all companies that use call centres that they need to ensure they are fully compliant with the rules or face the consequences."
Barclaycard was fined the then maximum fine of £50,000 for a similar offence in 2008.
The maximum potential fine was raised to £2m in September 2010.
Adam Scorer at Consumer Focus said he was pleased with the regulator's action.
"While silent and abandoned calls are usually caused by glitches in the technology rather than a deliberate act by sales staff, they are a nuisance and firms that do not control the technology show a lack of respect to consumers," he said.
Kier Starmer ordered a review after an expert said there was "no real prospect" of corruption convictions.
The trial collapsed in 2011.
The eight cleared former officers are suing South Wales Police for misfeasance in public office and false imprisonment.
Senior Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) lawyer Gaon Hart told the court sitting in Cardiff he was brought in as a "fresh pair of eyes" to consider the evidence.
But his view that the case would fail led to him being shouted at by South Wales Police's senior investigating officer Chris Coutts.
Mr Hart told the hearing the officer was "furious".
There was disagreement, too, with senior counsel Nick Dean QC the barrister who led the prosecution which eventually collapsed.
The relationship deteriorated to such an extent the-then DPP Keir Starmer intervened to manage the disagreement.
He handed the decision to another CPS expert Simon Clements, head of the Serious Crime Division, who decided to carry on with the prosecution.
Mr Hart told the High Court that he felt the police had a "slightly zealous attitude that they clear the name of the force in some way".
Former officers Graham Mouncher, Thomas Page, Richard Powell, John Seaford, Michael Daniels, Peter Greenwood, Paul Jennings and Paul Stephen are suing South Wales Police.
The case is continuing.
The artwork, named The Bristol Whales, has been installed in Millennium Square to mark the city's status as European Green Capital.
It represents the threat of plastic pollution in the world's oceans, particularly plastic bags and food and drink packaging, organisers said.
It will be on show until 1 September.
The six-tonne sculpture depicts a blue whale and a humpback whale swimming through an ocean of "upcycled" bottles, collected from the Bath Half Marathon and Bristol 10k race.
A Green Capital spokesman said the sculpture was "encouraging people to act now to reduce their consumption of single-use plastics and help protect our oceans for future generations".
He said Britons spent over £1.5bn on bottled water every year and sent 15 million bottles to landfill every day, and globally eight million tonnes of plastic ended up in oceans each year - equivalent to the body weight of 45,000 blue whales.
Sue Lipscombe, from Cod Steaks, which designed and built the artwork, said: "Whales are intelligent, beautiful, charismatic animals - they've become symbols of the world's oceans.
"They have a physical strength but they also represent resilience, the potential for recovery, provided we - as custodians of the oceans - take the right steps to protect them.
"We're confident that this sculpture will fuel discussion and debate about plastics in the ocean."
Bristol became the first UK city to be named European Green Capital when it took over from Copenhagen at the start of the year.

The engine, which was retired from service in 1963, has been restored for York's National Railway Museum (NRM) in a shed in Bury, Greater Manchester.
Low-speed test runs begin later along the East Lancashire Railway.
It marks the end of a £4.2m complex restoration project, which began in 2006 by specialist engineers at Riley and Son Ltd, based in Bury.
Tom Ingall reports on the history of the famous engine.
Labs in the US states of Washington and Louisiana began "listening" on Friday for the gravitational waves that are predicted to flow through the Earth when violent events occur in space.
The Advanced Ligo facilities have just completed a major upgrade.
Scientists believe this will now give them the sensitivity needed to pick up what should be a very subtle signal.
The theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, one of the pioneers behind the experiment, went so far as to say that it would be "quite surprising" if the labs made no detection.
"We are there; we are in the ball park now. It's clear that this is going to be pulled off," he confidently told The Documentary programme on the BBC World Service.
Gravitational waves are a prediction of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
They describe the warping of space-time that occurs when masses accelerate.
But their expected weakness means only astrophysical phenomena on a truly colossal scale are likely to generate waves that will register on even the remarkable technologies assembled at Hanford in the American northwest and at Livingston in the southeast.
Sources that Advanced Ligo might observe include merging black holes and neutron stars (very dense, burnt-out stars), and, with luck, some exploding giant stars (supernovae).
Ripples in the fabric of space-time
The technique being employed is laser interferometry.
Both Ligo labs work by splitting a light beam and sending the two halves down separate, 4km-long, evacuated tunnels.
The beams are bounced back and forth by mirrors before being recombined at their starting point and sent to detectors.
If the delicate gravitational waves pass through the set-up, the laser light should show evidence of having been ever so slightly disturbed - either lengthened or shortened.
Advanced Ligo is looking for changes in laser-arm distance that are on the order of one one-thousandth of the width of a proton.
The equipment's peak sensitivity will be to waves with a frequency of around 100 Hertz, which in auditory terms is at the low end of what humans can hear. And it is for this reason that gravitational wave detection is often described as trying to pick up the "sounds of the cosmos".
"These detectors are like microphones where we're listening to the Universe," said Jamie Rollins from the California Institute of Technology, one of the project's lead institutions.
"It's sort of like we've been deaf to the Universe until now, and turning on these detectors is like turning on our ears."
The Documentary: A New Ear on the Universe will be broadcast first on the BBC World Service on Saturday, 26 September. Presented by Aleem Maqbool, and produced by Adrian Washbourne, the programme will also be available online.
The Ligo labs first began hunting for gravitational waves in 2002. They were then switched off in 2010 to undergo their more than $200m upgrade.
The improvements suppress further the "noise" in the instrumentation that would otherwise swamp real signals.
Important contributions have been made by the project's international partners, which include the UK.
British scientists provided the technology to keep the mirrors rock steady.
"The mirrors have to be super-quiet so that they're not disturbed by anything other than a gravitational wave. So they're suspended on four pendulum stages, the last stage being ultra-pure glass fibres," explained Sheila Rowan from the University of Glasgow.
The labs have been running in an engineering mode for some weeks, but they were switched to begin formal science observations at 15:00 GMT on Friday.
Like all instruments, they will need to be tuned to gain further improvements in sensitivity.
The upgrade was designed to give the detectors a 10-fold jump in performance over the old set-up. Refinements should achieve another factor of three by the end of the decade.
"The one thing I personally like about Ligo is it's used every bit of physics I know, from the most arcane solid-state and surface physics to lasers, electronics, quantum mechanics - everything," said Vern Sandberg, the lead scientist at the Hanford lab.
"And it's a very gratifying area to work in, a very frustrating area, too. Hopefully, we will know in a few months whether it's very fulfilling," he told The Documentary.
Scientists must now wait for the Universe to comply - for two black holes to spiral into each other, or, perhaps, for a supernova to go off in our Milky Way Galaxy.
Supercomputers will be sifting constantly the data for patterns that match the expectations from simulations - and even for those signals that stand out as so unexpected they may hint at something that goes totally beyond current understanding.
"Recording a gravitational wave for the first time has never been a big motivation for Ligo," said Kip Thorne.
"The motivation has always been to open a new window on the Universe, to see what I like to call the warped side of the Universe - an aspect of the Universe we've never seen before, objects and phenomena that are made either entirely from warped space and time, or partially from warped space and time. And it's going to be fantastic when we do." | Uber is embarking on a global mapping project that it hopes will offer its drivers more useful data on pick-up locations and traffic patterns.

Huw Lewis warned it would take "some years" to learn lessons after Wales again fell behind the rest of the UK in an international study.
The tests in science, maths, and reading were taken by 500,000 15-year-olds in 68 countries.
The UK government's Education Secretary Michael Gove described Wales as a "country going backwards".
Wales had lower results on average in the three subjects than England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Facing questions from assembly members, First Minister Carwyn Jones assured them education in Wales was not in "crisis".
The figures, from the Programme For International Student Assessment (Pisa) tests, were published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Mr Lewis said Wales was on an "education improvement journey" which had "no quick fixes" within it.
He told BBC Wales: "It's going to take some years to learn the lessons of Pisa and turn the system around to meet the challenges it meets to us.
"Everyone from myself to leaders of local authorities, teachers, school governors - everyone needs to take a good long look in the mirror and recognise the challenge is for them as well as the people around them."
Mr Lewis admitted: "There could be questions about us taking our eye off the ball in the mid 2000s around the basics in education."
But he insisted Welsh ministers did "take heed" of previous poor Pisa results in 2009, and instituted "one of the most radical and ambitious reform programmes that Welsh education has ever seen".
But he said such reforms "take time to have traction".
"It's barely a year since these reforms were instituted," he said.
But he conceded significant mistakes might previously have been made in key areas.
"I think there could be questions raised around taking our eye off the ball in the mid-2000s around the basics in education, literacy and numeracy - we've certainly put that right".
"We're going to go for the very best we can achieve... everyone in the system, I'm asking them to join with me in recognising that to do that we need to step change in terms of what we expect from the system and the challenge we put down to our teachers, our pupils and to the machinery of education in Wales.
"We need to take things to a whole new level," he added.
While Mr Lewis said there was "not all that much to celebrate" in the rest of the UK, Mr Gove used Wales' performance in the Pisa tests to berate the Labour front bench in the House of Commons.
He told MPs: "I'm afraid it's the case that in Wales, a country for which I have an enormous amount of affection, the Welsh Labour government chose to abandon league tables, abandon external accountability, and the current Welsh administration is unfortunately not matching our commitment to spending in schools.
"And the conclusion that we can draw from this is, if you want to know what our education system would be like if the country were foolishly to vote Labour at the next election, you need only to look over the Severn to see a country going backwards."
During tense exchanges on education in First Minister's Questions in the Senedd, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the Pisa results were "more damning evidence of educational failure under Labour".
He told Mr Jones: "You cannot show any humility to the people of Wales, who've depended on education as a route out from poverty, as a route to good jobs, and above all developing an economy fit for the twenty-first century."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said the Welsh government would be in "special measures" if it were a local authority.
"Why should parents continue to trust your government with their children's education?" she asked.
For Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams the "abject failure" of Labour's education policies had been "exposed for everyone to see".
"As a Labour assembly member for 14 years, as a cabinet member for 13 years and now as the first minister of our nation, are you not ashamed?" she said.
Mr Jones insisted there had been "an improvement" but "not enough" this year, and he listed ways he argued ministers were seeking to improve educational performance:
"The National Literacy and Numeracy Programme, the National Support Programme, supporting professional development, Teach First Wales, leadership development, strengthening accountability, Learning Wales, the national model for regional working and dealing with attendance and behaviour, all put in place since 2009," he told AMs.
"As I've said, it will take a little more time for these improvements to have their full force."
The first minister said his message to all three opposition parties was "if you don't like it, what would you change?"
The opposition parties had "signally failed" to outline what they would do differently, he said.
The body of James Chadwick, 37, was found at an address in Holland Street in Aberdeen last September.
Following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh, a jury found Ryan Gibb, 30, and Cameron Laurie, 31, guilty of murder.
The two men, prisoners at HMP Grampian, denied killing Mr Chadwick.
Passing sentence, judge Lord McEwan told the men, who have previous convictions, that given the jury's decision he had no other option but to sentence them both to life imprisonment.
Lord McEwan also handed them a 12 month sentence for their attempt to defeat the ends of justice. This term will be served concurrently with the murder sentence.
The judge said: "You have been both convicted of a brutal murder of a man in his home. This gentleman had done you no wrong or expressed ill will towards you.
"As far as the evidence has shown this was a motiveless crime.
"I cannot distinguish between you. Neither of you is of good character. I will therefore set the punishment part of your sentences at 18 years."
The court heard that Gibb and Laurie, who were both described as alcohol dependent, had spent 31 August last year drinking before arriving at Mr Chadwick's property.
The pair then attacked Mr Chadwick before trying to destroy evidence linking him to his death.
A Danish man received the hand, which was connected to nerves in his upper arm, following surgery in Italy.
Dennis Aabo, who lost his left hand in a firework accident nearly a decade ago, said the hand was "amazing".
In laboratory tests he was able to tell the shape and stiffness of objects he picked up, even when blindfolded.
The details were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
An international team carried out the research project, which included neuroscientists, engineers, surgeons and robotics experts from Italy, Switzerland and Germany.
"It is the first time that an amputee has had real-time touch sensation from a prosthetic device" said Prof Silvestro Micera, neuro-engineer, from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa.
The scientific advance here was not the hand itself, but the electronics and software that enabled it to give sensory feedback to the brain.
Micera and his team added sensors to the artificial hand which could detect and measure information about touch. Using computer algorithms, the scientists transformed the electrical signals they emitted into an impulse that sensory nerves could interpret.
During an operation in Rome, four electrodes were implanted onto nerves in the patient's upper arm. These were connected to the artificial sensors in the fingers of the prosthetic hand, so allowing touch and pressure feedback to be sent direct to the brain.
Mr Aabo, 36, a property developer, spent a month doing laboratory tests, firstly to check the electrodes were functioning, and then with these fully connected to the bionic hand.
He said: "The biggest difference was when I grabbed something I could feel what I was doing without having to look. I could use the hand in the dark.
"It was intuitive to use, and incredible to be able to feel whether objects were soft or hard, square or round."
The bionic hand is still a prototype, and due to safety restrictions imposed on clinical trials, Mr Aabo required a second operation to remove the sensors.
"He is a hero," said Professor Paolo Rossini, neurologist, University Hospital Agostino Gemelli, Rome.
"He gave a month of his life and had two operations to test this device.
"We are all very grateful to him."
Prof Rossini said a lot of pre-training was done involving surgery on pigs, and with human cadavers, to ensure they knew exactly how to attach electrodes to the tiny peripheral nerves in the upper arm.
Another member of the team, Dr Stanisa Raspopovic said: "It was a very exciting moment when after endless hours of testing....Dennis turned to us and said with disbelief, 'This is magic! I can feel the closing of my missing hand!'"
Those working in the field in the UK were also enthusiastic.
"This is very interesting work, taking research in upper limb prosthetics into the next stage by adding sensory feedback, said Dr Alastair Ritchie, Lecturer in Biomaterials and Bioengineering, University of Nottingham.
"This technology would enable the user to know how firmly they are gripping an object, which is vital for handling fragile objects - imagine picking up an egg without any feeling in your fingers."
The international team is now working on how to miniaturise the technology so that it could be used in the home.
"We must get rid of the external cables and make them fully implantable" said Prof Thomas Stieglitz, University of Frieburg, Germany, whose laboratory created the ultra-thin implantable electrodes.
Recently, scientists in Cleveland, Ohio released a video of a patient using the fingers of a prosthetic hand to pull the stalks from cherries while blindfolded. But the research has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
There is no precise timetable, but scientists think it could be a decade before a sensory feedback bionic hand is commercially available.
And they believe it may pave the way for more realistic prosthetic devices in the future which can detect texture and temperature.
But it will undoubtedly be very expensive, well beyond the means of most patients. And artificial hands still lack the precision and dexterity of the real thing.
The super-functioning bionic hand of science fiction films remains the stuff of fiction.
Nonetheless, Dennis Aabo, who now has his old prosthesis back, is ready to swap it for the bionic hand in any future trial.
"If they offer it to me, I will say bring it on, I'm ready."
The Foxes will win the title for the first time in their 132-year history if they beat Manchester United on Sunday.
Mandaric, 77, sold the then Championship club to Thai businessman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in 2010.
"Knowing those people, they will go as high as possible," he told BBC Radio Leicester. "They're very ambitious people. They're not going to give up,"
Mandaric added that the club was "now in their blood" and they were part of something they "never dreamed of", adding: "It's not just the money any more."
Leicester have a seven-point lead over Tottenham at the top of the table and need just three points from their final three games to guarantee the title.
Alternatively, if Spurs lose one of their three matches, the Foxes, who started the season as 5,000-1 outsiders, will be crowned champions.
Under Mandaric's ownership, Leicester were relegated to League One in 2008 but returned to the second tier with Nigel Pearson as manager the following season.
The Serbian-American, who previously owned Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday, is now chairman of Slovenian side Olimpija Ljubljana.
"I don't think Leicester will be one of those one-offs," he added. "I think they'll continue and see what's possible. They're not going to let go."
The television factory in Oulton Broad closed in 2009 and was put up for sale for between £3.5m and £5m.
Waveney District Council said it was in "advanced negotiations" with Sanyo, but would not reveal the current price.
The council said it planned to use the land for a mixture of 350 private homes and social housing.
The 20-acre (8-hectare) Sanyo site on School Road employed 800 people at its peak.
The council said the land had been earmarked for housing.
The sale price had been agreed with Sanyo and purchase was proceeding.
Colin Law, Conservative leader of the council, said: "The acquisition of this land will help the council better deliver a mixture of housing which will help those who wish to enter the housing market for the first time and who would otherwise be unable to do so.
"This purchase and future development will support the considerable business and industrial development generated around this location by the offshore and renewable energy sector."
The council said the funds would come from its housing revenue budget and it would not have to borrow money.
Angela Cockburn, 49, her husband David, 48, his two daughters Carley Ann, 21, and Bethany, 18, and Bethany's one-year-old daughter Lacie were killed on the A18 in Laceby near Grimsby in 2013.
The family, from Ouston, were going to a dance competition.
The Grimsby stretch of the A18 featured in a BBC television programme, Britain's Killer Roads, in 2011.
The family were killed after their car collided with a lorry.
During an inquest at Cleethorpes Town Hall, Coroner Paul Kelly called for North East Lincolnshire Council and their contractors to start an independent review of the A18 between Laceby roundabout and the authority boundary.
The inquest heard evidence that opportunities were missed to fix a defect in the road.
Mr Kelly said: "The gully was well formed, established and a hazard to road users."
Recording a narrative verdict, he added: "In the meantime the road has continued to deteriorate. I do not have confidence in the contractor or authority."
As part of his recommendations he also asked Humberside Police to review within 56 days the way the force report road hazards.
A spokesperson for North East Lincolnshire Council said that as a result of the accident the authority and its partner, Cofely, was "rolling out, measures designed to detect and repair defects similar to those involved in this incident".
He said the council would be reviewing the coroner's conclusions and recommendations and "taking appropriate measures."
Work was due to begin last month on demolishing Prestatyn Community Hospital which closed two years ago.
But National Resources Wales ruled that because seagulls are nesting on the roof, the demolition must be put on hold until the chicks have flown.
Dummy owls were put on the roof and initially worked, but seagulls returned when they realised they were fake.
The determination of the gulls to stay put has delighted local residents campaigning to save the hospital building.
Developers Pure Residential and Commercial have bought the site and lodged plans for apartments and houses.
Merthyr Tydfil had the highest amount of outstanding bills - an average £131 per chargeable household - while Vale of Glamorgan had the lowest at £33.
Janet Finch-Saunders AM, the Conservatives' local government spokeswoman, called for more support for families in debt.
The Welsh Government said the tax provided vital funding for services.
Around Wales, a total of of 97.2% of council tax was collected in 2015-16 - the highest collection rate since the introduction of council tax.
But a Freedom of Information request submitted by the Welsh Conservatives revealed 20 of the 22 local authorities said they had collectively issued 110,000 court summons for unpaid council tax, while nearly 52,000 bailiff letters and visits were made.
Ms Finch-Saunders AM, said the debt was "concerning - but also unsurprising".
"The government must take measures to implement a council tax freeze, change the way in which local authorities are funded, and offer increased support to families blighted by debt," she added.
Every local authority area in Wales has seen a rise in taxes this financial year as councils try to balance their books in the wake of continuing budget cuts.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said council tax in Wales was on average £156 lower than in England.
"Our Council Tax Reduction Scheme also provides financial assistance to more than 300,000 households and of these almost 200,000 pay no council tax at all," she added.
"However we recognise circumstances continue to be challenging for households across Wales and encourage local authorities to deal sensitively with those experiencing hardship."
In the six months to 29 October, pre-tax profits climbed to £144m while sales rose 4% to £4.9bn.
The firm said it had seen no effect on consumer demand as a consequence of the Brexit vote, but was planning for "more uncertain times".
"In particular, we have been focusing on reducing our fixed cost base," said Seb James, group chief executive.
Despite the good news, the firm's shares slipped 5.5% in early trade.
Its stock has fallen by a third this year, amid investors' concerns over the impact of the weak pound on costs and demand next year.
In the period, Dixon Carphone reported growth in all its main divisions, including a 23% jump in sales in Nordic countries, where it benefited from the weaker pound.
Sales were also positive in its core markets, the UK and Ireland, where it trades under the brands Currys, PC World and Carphone Warehouse.
That was partly driven by higher sales of mobiles and consumer electronics, as well as a plan to reduce store numbers.
The company aims to close 134 outlets while it rolls out electrical superstores that merge its three main brands.
Dixons Carphone was created from the £5bn merger between Dixons and Carphone Warehouse in 2014. It employs 42,000 staff in the UK and overseas.
Mr James called the results a "strong start" to 2016, but said the firm was preparing for "all eventualities" in 2017.
"In particular, we have been focusing on... identifying areas of potential market share growth if the world becomes a tougher place for our competitors," he said.
"We are also planning our offer so that potential currency impacts are minimised for the customer."
Descendants of British soldiers who fought in the battle will be offered free tickets to the commemorations.
About 325,000 Allied troops and 260,000 Germans died in the battle.
Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said it was important to remember the "horrors" of the Ypres battlefields, and honour the memories of the many who died.
Officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres, Passchendaele was fought from 31 July to 6 November 1917 in the West Flanders region of northern Belgium.
It is remembered as one of the harshest battles of the war, with heavy rain contributing to the Allies gaining only five miles of ground in three months.
Poet Siegfried Sassoon described the muddy fields as "hell".
Ms Bradley said: "Some of World War One's most defining images of futility, mud, gas attacks and trenches come from these very battlefields.
"As the war recedes into the distance, it is our responsibility to not only mark the years that have gone past, but to keep alive the memories of those who sacrificed so much."
The main ceremony will be on 31 July at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Tyne Cot Cemetery, where 12,000 British and Commonwealth troops are buried.
There will also be a traditional Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate memorial in Ypres on 30 July and a number of live performances in Ypres' Market Square to tell the story.
The 4,000 tickets to the 31 July event at the cemetery will be available through a public ballot online at www.passchendaele100.org until 24 February.
There will also be a smaller ballot for a limited number of tickets for the event at the Menin Gate memorial.
Both events will be shown on large screens in the centre of Ypres for those who do not get tickets.
Ms Bradley said she encouraged all of those with family who fought at Passchendaele to apply.
Paul Breyne, the Belgian general commissioner for the commemoration, said his government was deeply committed to supporting the commemoration.
It was of utmost importance to remember those who "made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and peace", he said.
He said Belgium was looking forward to welcoming those who were travelling "to pay tribute to those who fought with dedication and bravery, 100 years ago, in this devastating battle".
Rafiq, 25, has played with Yorkshire's second team recently and is now able to play in all formats for the county.
Meanwhile, seamer Josh Shaw, 20, has been recalled from his loan spell at Gloucestershire with immediate effect.
"Josh's loan spell has helped with his development and this is clear to see from the wickets that he has taken," said director of cricket Martyn Moxon.
Shaw has taken 19 first-class wickets so far this season for Gloucestershire.
Rafiq first played for Yorkshire as a teenager in 2008, and stood in as captain in 2012, but was released at the end of the 2014 season.
Moxon added: "With Liam Plunkett and David Willey being called up to the England one-day international squad and, with injuries to Ryan Sidebottom, Matthew Fisher and Jack Brooks, our seam bowling resources are stretched.
"An option is in place for Josh to return to Gloucestershire at some stage during the season."
Care Quality Commission inspectors went to the Royal Sussex County Hospital to follow up concerns over emergency care.
They found some patients could not wash and had no privacy, a lack of available beds affected patient welfare, and the hospital had not anticipated pressures.
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust said it had taken action but more work needed to be done.
A report by inspectors said problems with privacy and dignity followed overcrowding because of the hospital's inability to move patients out of the emergency department to a ward bed.
New arrivals were being held in corridors, entrance halls, rooms and wards not designed for long stays.
A day surgery unit not set up for overnight stays held four men who had to share a toilet and sink, and four women who shared another, but there were no shower or washing facilities.
One patient said: "It was dreadful to not have a proper wash for three days."
Staff were unable to turn off or dim the lights at night, and it was difficult for patients to sleep, inspectors heard.
Patients on corridors and in an ambulance area were not taken to a toilet, but had to use a bedpan in the "plaster room" which was cluttered, not clean and not designed for the purpose.
Inspectors found some elderly dementia patients were in hospital for longer than clinically necessary, which negatively affected their health and welfare.
Some frail, elderly patients did not get the support they needed to maintain their mobility.
Inspectors found the hospital had enough staff, but workers were not receiving the appraisals and training needed.
In a statement, the NHS trust said: "It was widely reported that over the winter our emergency department came under a sustained period of pressure."
It said this meant systems did not work as effectively as the trust wanted and some patients waited in the emergency department for longer than acceptable.
The trust said it asked the Department of Health to help it produce an action plan and saw significant improvements from the end of April.
During May it had consistently met the four-hour target to assess, treat and discharge or admit patients coming into A&E, it said.
The hospital was told to improve in four areas: respecting and involving people who use services, care and welfare of people who use services, supporting workers and assessing and monitoring the quality of service provision.
Joy Robson died at the Snowman Rally in Inverness in 2013.
The following year, Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan and Len Stern lost their lives at the Jim Clark Rally near Coldstream.
The inquiry at Edinburgh Sheriff Court is expected to last several weeks with dozens of people due to give evidence.
Plans to hold the hearing were confirmed late last year.
The decision followed a change in legislation to allow for a single fatal accident inquiry to be held in relation to deaths in different parts of Scotland.
Samuel Simret was attacked outside RK Wines in Summer Lane, Newtown, on Tuesday. The 26-year-old died in hospital two days later.
A post-mortem examination confirmed he died from a stab wound to the chest.
Alexander Habte, 19, of Conybere Street in Highgate, has been charged with murder and is due before city magistrates in Birmingham on Monday.
A second 19-year-old man, from Leicester, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released without charge, police said.
Father Denis "Chrysostom" Alexander was one of several monks accused of abusing boys at the former Fort Augustus Abbey boarding school in the Highlands.
BBC Scotland confronted the former monk in Australia during a 2013 documentary.
In December last year, the Crown Office announced plans to bring him back from his native Australia to face trial.
But on Monday, 80-year-old Father Alexander, who denies the abuse claims, said he was not aware of any extradition plans, fuelling fears the process was stalling.
The Crown Office, which is responsible for prosecutions in Scotland, received the police report on Fr Alexander more than three years ago, and a year ago, announced plans to extradite him.
The case now sits with the Attorney General's office in Canberra.
One of his alleged victims has told the BBC of his frustration at the delays, and said he doubted he would ever face trial.
Hugh Kennedy, 53, said he suffered sustained abuse at the hands of Fr Alexander at the private Catholic boarding school in the Highlands, which was now closed.
He said he was frustrated by how long it took the Crown to prepare its case and contact the Australian authorities.
Mr Kennedy said: "The reality of this situation is, you are placated. You are written to in derogatory terms with non-answers to your questions. And after a period of time you're expected to just disappear.
"It's eventually either the individual will die or the individual bringing the case will run out of resilience and run out of capacity."
He added: "Nothing's changed. We are where we are last year. My expectations around whether we will ever see Denis Alexander in court have been managed down to virtually zero. I don't know if there's much more I can do."
The Crown Office said it was unable to comment on legal matters in another jurisdiction, while the Attorney General's office in Canberra, did not respond to requests for comment.
A statement from the Crown Office said: "We are doing everything in our power to seek the extradition of an 80-year-old man from Australia. We are now in the hands of another country's judicial process but we continue to assist them in any way we can."
Fr Alexander was returned by the Catholic Church to Australia in 1979, after allegations of abuse were made by another Fort Augustus Abbey pupil, who the BBC has also spoken to.
No report to the police was made, and no warnings were provided about his alleged offending behaviour, to the Church in Australia where Fr Alexander continued as a priest for a further 20 years or more.
He was stripped of his priestly faculties in 2013 after the BBC programme. He has always denied the allegations.
On Monday, when contacted by the BBC at his home in Sydney, Fr Alexander, said he was still being supported by the church, and denied any knowledge of the extradition process.
He also said he was "not prepared to do any such thing" when asked if he would return to Scotland to face charges, fuelling fears the extradition process is far from progressed.
The Roman Catholic Church in Sydney said it was unaware of the extradition bid but said it had offered its cooperation to the Scottish authorities.
The case has sparked local political interest.
MP Stephen Jones, who has played a prominent role in the Royal Commission currently looking into institutional child abuse in Australia, has written to the attorney general in Canberra to ask why there seems to be a delay in the extradition of Fr Alexander.
He said: "It's a year since the request has been made so it's far from being expedited. I would like to see this occur very, very soon.
"It beggars belief, at the same time as we've got a Royal Commission going on in Australia into institutional cover-ups and institutional responses to child sex abuse, that we wouldn't be acting with great haste here in Australia to bring our citizens to justice in a foreign jurisdiction if a charge has been made against them."
A case against another former monk is set to go to trial in Scotland in January. The Crown Office has had a further seven cases from Fort Augustus "under consideration" for more than 18 months.
In response to the perceived delay in prosecuting these cases, the Crown Office said: "We appreciate the length of time the investigation has taken can be frustrating and upsetting for the complainers.
"This has been an extremely challenging investigation into historical sexual abuse due to a variety of factors, including the number and the presence of accused in various locations worldwide.
"Historical sexual abuse cases can be extremely challenging to prosecute given the time which has elapsed since the alleged offences were committed and the requirement to establish corroboration before a case can be brought to court.
"The passage of time has presented particular challenges in this investigation. Important witnesses are no longer alive or are now unable to participate in the investigation."
It freezes North Korean government property in America and bans US exports to, or investment in, North Korea.
The order also greatly expands powers to blacklist anyone, including non-Americans, dealing with North Korea.
The 6 January nuclear test and 7 February satellite launch were violations of existing UN sanctions.
President Obama's order includes measures from the recently agreed UN Security Council sanctions - the toughest sanctions in decades against North Korea.
But it also contains separate sanctions passed by Congress and enacted by the president in February.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: "The US and the global community will not tolerate North Korea's illicit nuclear and ballistic missile activities, and we will continue to impose costs on North Korea until it comes into compliance with its international obligations."
Mr Obama said the sanctions "did not target the people of North Korea" but suggested that the country's leadership only had itself to blame.
How much property North Korea has in the US is unknown, and trade between the two is tiny, but the expanded blacklist powers is a significant stepping up of the punitive measures available to Washington.
It is also the first time the US has had a blanket ban on trade, as it once had with Iran and Myanmar.
Amid the heightened tensions, the North sentenced an American student to 15 years hard labour on Wednesday for "severe crimes" against the state.
The US demanded North Korea immediately release Otto Warmbier, 21, who was arrested for trying to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel while on a visit in January.
The US and South Korea are also holding their annual military drills this month, which routinely generate tension, but this year North Korea threatened to launch a "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" against the US and South Korea.
Second seed Kerber, 28, beat Romanian Simona Halep 6-3 6-4 in Saturday's semi-final to set up a meeting with Czech Karolina Pliskova.
American Williams, 34, has been top of the world rankings for 183 consecutive weeks, and 306 in total in her career.
She withdrew from the tournament with a shoulder injury on Monday.
Kerber beat Williams to win the Australian Open in January, but Williams came out on top in the Wimbledon final last month.
World number 17 Pliskova, 24, upset fourth seed Garbine Muguruza of Spain 6-1 6-3 on Saturday to reach the final in Cincinnati.
Colin Parry's son Tim was one of two children killed in 1993 when the IRA bombed the nearby town of Warrington.
Mr Parry helped to set up a peace centre in memory of both boys.
He said he will be offering its support services to Manchester families going through "the most unimaginable horror any parent can ever countenance".
The explosion in Manchester Arena, at a pop concert by the US singer Ariana Grande, caused the deaths of 22 people, several of them children and young people.
"To be told your child has died in a bombing attack, when they've gone out to what was meant to be a happy, fun event - watching a pop singer at a concert - it almost beggars belief," Mr Parry said.
"I know the parents are going to be utterly bewildered and in the deepest, deepest trough they'll ever be in their lives."
Tim Parry was killed alongside toddler Johnathan Ball when the IRA detonated bombs near a busy shopping centre on the day before Mother's Day in 1993.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme, Mr Parry said the Manchester victims would need support for many years to come.
"When the news moves on, and tragically it does, these parents will very much feel isolated and alone."
"There will be many people in Northern Ireland who would recognise this, who went through the same kinds of tragedy, where life has to move on.
"And it moves on rather quickly for families not affected, whereas, for the families affected, it's like time stands still."
Mr Parry said the loss of a child can put enormous strain on parents and can lead to relationships breaking down.
"The damage extends like a big spillage outwards - and families have to be able to guard against that and work together as best they can."
Speaking from personal experience, Mr Parry said that although relatives and close friends can provide welcome support in the immediate aftermath of a death, eventually they will have to get back to their normal lives.
He added: "These families who have lost children will never again have a normal life."
The campaigner helped to open Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Centre in March 2000, on the seventh anniversary of the boys' deaths.
When asked what advice he would give the Manchester victims, Mr Parry said he would offer to share his own family's experience of dealing with grief.
"If they wanted to hear it, I would probably tell them how our life unfolded after we lost Tim because I think, in many ways, what they will go through will mirror what we went through and indeed, what so many families have gone through when they've lost a child - especially one at the hands of a terrorist attack.
"I think the very fact that I could say to them, as my wife could - 'we have survived, our family has gone on'.
"In time, we did find way of coping, despite the awful dark days at the beginning."
However, Mr Parry acknowledged that bereaved families "may not listen or agree when the grief is at its highest".
He described how at the time of Tim's death, his own family had been comforted and inspired by another father who had been bereaved by a bomb.
Mr Parry paid tribute to Gordon Wilson, who lost his daughter when the IRA bombed a Remembrance Sunday service in Enniskillen in 1987.
"He said, in our home, similar words to my wife and I when he visited Warrington, not long after the bombing.
"We found his words enormously helpful because he was a man who we greatly admired anyway.
"He stood like a beacon for sense and sensibility, as a great man."
Mr Wilson rose to prominence as a peacemaker when he said he forgave those who murdered his daughter.
Mr Parry has repeatedly said he will never forgive the IRA for murdering his son, but he did meet leading members of Sinn Féin during his efforts to promote peace.
This included inviting the late Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin - who was once an IRA commander - to deliver a peace lecture marking the 20th anniversary of the atrocity.
The Grade II-listed "two up two down" home near St Davids, which dates back to the 1700s, was left to the charity by its late owner Glyn Griffiths.
The cottage needs "substantial" repair work and Mr Griffiths left it with the wish that it would be restored and its character preserved.
Once renovated it will be let as a holiday cottage.
The coastal home is a traditional lime-washed house with outbuildings, and was lived-in by Mr Griffiths since childhood.
It has been unaltered since it was built and its photo has featured in several publications celebrating the special character of the Pembrokeshire landscape.
Jonathan Hughes, the National Trust's general manager for Pembrokeshire, said: "We're delighted that Mr Griffiths has chosen the National Trust to safeguard his cottage and we know it holds a special place in the hearts of many people.
"The restoration work planned will preserve the layout as far as possible to provide simple accommodation, whilst retaining the spirit and charm of the traditional Pembrokeshire cottage."
Renovation work will be funded by the National Trust's Neptune Coastline Campaign, set up to protect coastal heritage.
Visitors will be able to view the repair work at a series of open days and people will eventually be available to rent it for short stays.
He joined families of fallen Special Air Service Regiment members to lay wreaths at Campbell Barracks in Perth.
Prince Harry was accompanied by Australia's PM Tony Abbott when he flew into the city for the last engagement of his 36-hour official visit.
He is now heading to a Dubai fundraiser for his aids charity, Sentebale.
Prince Harry, a captain in the British Army who has served twice in Afghanistan, met and had lunch with current and former members of the Australian SAS unit and toured their base.
Wreaths were laid in the Garden of Reflection at the barracks, and he also met members of groups which provide support to the unit.
The commanding officer, whose identity was only given as "Lieutenant Colonel G", said the unit was "humbled and grateful" that the prince had "made the time to join us".
"Prince Harry knows what it means to serve his nation on operations and most importantly what it means to the families of those serving," he said.
"Today's visit by His Royal Highness and the prime minister represents a unique opportunity to recognise the broader SAS regimental family that provides the back-up and support at home.
"Families play a critical role for those serving in the SASR, and indeed the whole of the Australian Defence Force, and we are thankful that the families of some of our serving, former and fallen members were able to be here today."
On Saturday, Prince Harry begun his first official trip to Australia by joining celebrations to mark its navy's arrival at Sydney Harbour 100 years ago.
He attended the International Fleet Review, featuring some 40 warships from 17 countries, including the Royal Navy's type 45 destroyer, HMS Daring.
Thousands of people flocked to the harbour as Prince Harry met crowds before boarding a boat for a reception with Mr Abbott at his official residence in the city.
The Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime (PAW) Scotland recorded 20 incidents, up from 18 in 2014.
Six birds were poisoned, five shot, there were five cases of disturbance, three trapping or attempted trappings and one chick theft.
Species involved included buzzards, red kites, osprey and a hen harrier.
PAW Scotland has published maps showing the crime locations and the sites of poison baits.
The incidents were mainly concentrated in central and southern Scotland as well as some in the countryside to the south of Inverness.
Environment minister Dr Aileen McLeod said the increase, while small, was "disappointing".
She said: "I want to be clear that wildlife crime is not acceptable in a modern Scotland and this is why we are doing all we can to end the illegal killing of birds of prey and working in partnership with stakeholders to achieve that.
"Scotland already has the strongest wildlife legislation in the UK and last month I accepted proposals from the wildlife crime penalties review group to introduce tough new maximum penalties for those who commit crimes against wildlife."
Ian Thomson, RSPB Scotland's head of investigations, said the latest figures show any claims of a decline in the illegal killing of raptors were "wholly without foundation".
Tim Baynes, director of the Scottish Moorland Group for landowner body Scottish Land & Estates, said the annual variations were "very small".
They were rescued from the upstairs of the property in Jamaica Street just before midnight on Thursday.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
BBC reporter Andy West, said some people had tried to rescue the family, but were unable to due to the heat.
One man, who did not want to be identified, said: "The smoke was just belting out the front door.
"They were all saying on the street, 'they're up the stairs, they're up the stairs'.
"So I tried to go up the stairs, but I only got to three or four steps and I just had to turn back. You couldn't see, you couldn't breathe."
The alarm was raised by a taxi driver and within minutes 20 firefighters and three ambulances arrived.
Neighbours described the street being filled with thick white smoke.
William Johnston from the fire service said the fire was "well developed" on the ground floor when they arrived.
"There were lots of neighbours in and around the area who were alerting the crews to some personnel trapped within the house," he said.
"We removed the casualties from the premises and the fire crews worked with the paramedics to look after them.
"They were unconscious at the time and were taken to, I think, the Royal Victoria Hospital by the paramedics."
Police have issued an appeal for information.
North was knocked out as Saints beat Wasps 52-30, the fourth time he has taken a blow to the head this season.
Northampton say the 22-year-old is being assessed and the club "will not be making any further statement yet".
Former Ireland international O'Driscoll said: "There should be no more rugby for George North this rugby year."
North was left motionless when he was struck on the head by Wasps forward Nathan Hughes's knee after scoring his second try for the Saints.
Hughes, who protested his innocence, was sent off for dangerous play.
Former Scarlets wing North also suffered blows to his head in the autumn and again during the Six Nations.
He missed Wales' 12-6 win over South Africa in November after being concussed against New Zealand, and was then struck twice on the head while playing against England during the Six Nations.
North missed Wales' next match against Scotland after being given an "extended recovery period".
O'Driscoll is an outspoken critic of the way rugby's governing body manages head injuries, and resigned from his post on its medical committee in 2012 in protest at the decision to trial a new protocol for dealing with concussion.
He believes North should take a break from the game, while having regular psychological, cognitive and physical assessments.
"Somebody who has four concussions in five months - two in one game - and is going back to such a brutal game as rugby should be having a long rest from rugby under the care of a neurologist," O'Driscoll told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
Northampton issued a statement on Saturday saying North would be assessed by a specialist this week and that the club "places the highest importance on player welfare".
Saints play Clermont Auvergne in a European Champions Cup quarter-final on Saturday, 4 April.
The former Northern Ireland international, who died last week, was remembered with a minute's applause and a video tribute following a career that saw him score more than 140 goals for the club.
On the pitch, however, the Bantams were looking for a response to the loss at Roots Hall and they started in positive fashion.
Mark McNulty and Nicky Law each had shots deflected for corners and Bradford twice appealed in vain for a penalty, with Hanson and McNulty both going down inside the area to no avail.
The hosts continued to press after the interval as Haris Vuckic and Law went close before the home side's pressure paid off in the 56th minute.
Vuckic's overhit cross from the right was kept in play by Mark Marshall, who clipped the ball into the area where Hanson scored with a header from close range.
However, Northampton came close to equalising when only a brilliant one-handed save by Colin Doyle kept out Alex Revell's header from Paul Anderson's cross, before substitute Marc Richards had the ball in the net in the 84th minute only to be ruled offside.

ECT involves passing an electric current through patients' brains, triggering a brief seizure in an effort to cure effects of extreme mental disorders.
Doctors, regulators and patients point to established and robust evidence to show that ECT works effectively and is safe.
However, there is a long expressed body of anecdotal evidence from patients unhappy with side-effects they say they've suffered after the treatment.
Severe memory loss, headaches and reportedly distressing personality changes are among the most common complaints. It remains a divisive medical technique.
Medical professionals don't yet fully agree on how exactly ECT works.
However they point to marked positive changes in the most challenging cases of depression, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia after its use.
The vast majority of ECT treatment courses are chosen by the patients themselves. Sometimes however the shock therapy is administered without the patient's consent.
In order to do this in Northern Ireland, the second opinion of a senior psychiatrist appointed by the regulator is required under the Mental Health (NI) Order 1986.
In total, 96 patients in Northern Ireland were treated with ECT in 2014-15, both with consent and without.
The BBC has learned that within that year there were 53 referrals to carry out electroconvulsive therapy on patients without their consent.
This is up from the year 2011-12, when the figure was 36. In 2013-14 there were 55 such referrals.
Dr Chris Kelly is a consultant psychiatrist highly experienced in ECT treatment.
He has seen the difference the treatment can make to patients who are given it without their consent. He said in most instances it has a beneficial outcome.
"Typically they tend to be individuals who are psychotic, who maybe have beliefs that they have caused harm, that they have got cancer when they don't have, these sorts of delusions," he said.
"I have looked after many individuals where we have had to keep them alive.
"The danger I think would be that you're asking someone whose ability to consent, their capacity to consent, is distorted by their depression.
"It is not a panacea, however. Selecting a treatment for your patient - well, that is the art of medicine. Selected wrongly, difficulties. Selected well, and these individuals can do remarkably well."
Mick Mulcahy is an Irish artist who was treated with ECT against his will in the Republic of Ireland. He says the legacy has been a traumatic one for him.
"You just don't want to be in your own body. [You think] this is not my body. I came in here healthy, without my permission. I don't deserve this. Who does?" he said.
In Ireland however new legislation is in the process of making its way into law which will make it impossible to give ECT in cases where people refuse to consent when detained involuntarily.
John Saunders is chairman of the Mental Health Commission in Republic. It pushed for the change.
"The worldwide international view would be that the person should consent to treatment and should not be in the situation where the law forces them to undergo treatment. If that is the case in Northern Ireland law, then I think there is a case for reviewing that.
"You should not have a situation where the state forces a particular treatment on somebody. There are arguments that some clinicians put forward, but there's always an alternative.
"You don't have to resort to ECT as a last option. There may be other medications. There may be other ways of dealing with situations."
He believes Northern Ireland should follow the Republic's change of law.
The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority keeps referrals for ECT without consent in Northern Ireland under review.
In its most recent thematic report on the issue, it says ECT "is considered an important and necessary form of treatment for some of the most severe psychiatric conditions, and is, in some instances, a life-saving treatment".
The £31m Al-Sweady Inquiry found claims that up to 20 Iraqis were killed and mutilated after a 2004 battle were "reckless speculation".
The murder allegations were withdrawn from the inquiry earlier this year.
The report also found British soldiers mistreated nine Iraqi detainees, but it was not deliberate ill-treatment.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the inquiry "puts to rest once and for all these shocking and, as we now know, completely baseless allegations".
Inquiry chairman Sir Thayne Forbes said the "most serious allegations" which "have been hanging over these soldiers for the past 10 years" have been found to be "without foundation."
A Number 10 spokesman said: "Where there are allegations of mistreatment, it is right and proper we look into and learn lessons from the past."
Mr Fallon said the inquiry - set up in 2009 - has cost the taxpayer £31m.
The hearing took evidence about the actions of soldiers from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, who were ambushed by insurgents, leading to a three-hour gun battle that became known as the Battle of Danny Boy.
Sir Thayne, a former High Court judge, found there had been instances of ill-treatment during "tactical questioning" of the detainees at Camp Abu Naji, near Majar-al-Kabir in southern Iraq, on the night of 14 May.
These included blindfolding the prisoners, depriving them of food and sleep and using threatening interrogation techniques contrary to the Geneva Convention.
But Sir Thayne said Iraqi detainees who alleged they were tortured and abused - and subjected to mock executions - had given evidence that was "unprincipled in the extreme" and "wholly without regard to the truth".
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said anger - as well as a sense of vindication - would be felt inside the Ministry of Defence and the Army.
The report said that soldiers responded to the ambush with "exemplary courage, resolution and professionalism" but that the conduct of some individual soldiers, and some of the procedures of the military, "fell below the high standards normally to be expected of the British army".
It found that:
It also described as "ill treatment" an interrogator banging a tent peg on a table and walking around a blindfolded detainee blowing on the back of his neck.
It is understood that the former Iraqi detainees - who are now known to have been armed insurgents at the time - will not pursue claims of compensation.
Getting to the truth of what happened in southern Iraq after the Battle of Danny Boy has been a long, exhaustive and expensive process.
The inquiry had to hire former detectives to attempt to piece together events, before hearing from hundreds of military and Iraqi witnesses over the course of almost a year.
The allegations - some of the most serious ever to be levelled at British troops in Iraq - were always strenuously denied by the Ministry of Defence.
And the report is conclusive and hard-hitting. The claims of mistreatment for which the MoD is criticised are - in the scheme of things - relatively minor.
But yet the ministry does also have itself to blame because it was forced to agree to the inquiry after it was criticised for a "lamentable" failure to disclose relevant information to the courts - including the fact that three of the detainees had complained of their treatment to the Red Cross.
Lawyers acting for several Iraqi families had originally claimed some men taken from the battlefield were mistreated and killed at Camp Abu Naji and Shaibah Logistics Base.
But they withdrew those allegations - vigorously denied by the MoD - in March this year after conceding there was "insufficient material" to support those accusations.
Sir Thayne explained that the bodies of the dead Iraqis were taken from the battlefield because British forces were searching for a suspect in the murders of six Royal Military Policemen in Majar-al-Kabir in June 2003.
He said removing the bodies had led to "rumours, stories and speculation" being spread among the local population .
Sir Thayne said perhaps the "most significant lie of many" was that 19-year-old Hamid Al-Sweady - after whom the inquiry was named - had been alive when he was captured.
He said: "Such assertions as that undoubtedly played a part in the persistence of the completely false allegations that Iraqi men had been detained alive and then in effect murdered at Camp Abu Naji."
In a House of Commons statement, Mr Fallon said the findings were "incontrovertible".
"British soldiers did not carry out the atrocities that had been falsely attributed to them," he told MPs.
Mr Fallon said it was "shameful" that the allegations of murder were only withdrawn in March.
He said the conduct of some of the lawyers acting for the detainees would be investigated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
He called on those lawyers to issue an "unequivocal apology to the soldiers whose reputations they attempted to traduce" as well as "to the taxpayers who have had to pay the cost of exposing these lies".
John Dickinson of Public Interest Lawyers, which represented some of the families of Iraqis who made accusations against British soldiers, said it was not his place to apologise for the "situation which arose", adding that the inquiry could have been dealt with "more speedily".
Shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said: "None of what the report found justifies what the inquiry said was untruthful evidence and deliberate lies from the accusers. Those who made the false allegations have not and will not besmirch the good name of our brave servicemen and women."
General Sir Nicholas Carter, Chief of the General Staff, said the report would be a "huge relief" to the soldiers and families who had been affected, adding that "appropriate lessons" should be learned from the case.
Sir Thayne is making nine separate recommendations based on his findings. He said improvements had to be made to the collection, storage and ability to search documents and records.
Other recommendations include the need for better arrest records for detainees in theatres of war.
Chand, 19, has not been allowed to compete since last summer after failing a hormone test.
The test revealed her body produced natural levels of testosterone above International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) guidelines.
Her legal team will argue the ruling is discriminatory and flawed.
There is currently no similar assessment for male athletes.
The landmark case against the IAAF and Athletics Federation of India started on Monday at Cas in Lausanne, Switzerland, and is expected to last up to four days.
A final judgement could take weeks or even months.
Chand was forced to miss the Commonwealth Games and Asia Games after failing the controversial test but refused medical treatment to help make her eligible.
Her appeal is the first to challenge the "hyperandrogenism" rules the IAAF introduced in the wake of the Caster Semenya affair in 2009.
South African teenager Semenya was asked to take a so-called "gender test" shortly before winning the 800m at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
Subjected to enormous media scrutiny, Semenya subsequently returned to the sport, winning an Olympic silver medal at London 2012.

Winning two Grand Slams and an Olympic gold medal in the space of 12 months, as he did during the summers of 2012 and 2013, will be an exceptionally difficult trick to reproduce. But he appears to have time on his side.
Murray will turn 30 next May. Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg did not win a single Grand Slam between them after entering their fourth decade, but players like Murray and Novak Djokovic - who is just seven days younger than the Briton - seem to have the attributes required to extend their winning years.
Fitness is one major element, and the back surgery Murray had in September 2013 has enabled him to expand his game on all surfaces. Another is desire, which cannot be taken for granted.
"Before I won Wimbledon in 2013, I was unbelievably motivated to win it," Murray told BBC Sport as he reflected on his second All England Club title.
"But then after I won there, I didn't quite know where to go or what I was trying to do. It felt like this was all I was meant to do, really."
The extreme motivation required has now returned - thanks to his daughter Sophia, and his lifelong rival.
Losing three Grand Slam finals to world number one Djokovic in 18 months, and becoming a father who really would like his daughter to remember him playing at the highest level, has stoked his inner fire.

It is not fair to assume Murray will win more Grand Slam titles. Who, after Wimbledon 2013, thought he would have to wait three more years to add a third?
And don't read too much into Djokovic's third-round exit at Wimbledon. He has, after all, featured in six of the past seven Grand Slam finals - winning five of them. He is likely to arrive refreshed at the Rio Olympics and ready to do battle once more.
Between them, though, Murray and Djokovic could win the lion's share of Grand Slam titles over the next three years.
It will be very tough for developing talents such as Dominic Thiem, Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev to match them consistently over that timeframe - and other than beaten Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic it is hard to identify a player in his mid-twenties who has serious potential to become a multiple Grand Slam winner.
Murray's next goal is to defend his Olympic singles title and to win a medal with brother Jamie in the doubles. He will talk to coach Ivan Lendl this week about the best way to prepare for Rio and the US Open, which follows on just two weeks later.
After losing five finals in Melbourne, Murray will feel he has a score to settle with the Australian Open - and given his performance on clay over the past two years, the French Open should also be on his bucket list.
Murray enjoys setting himself new targets as his career progresses. For most of his 11 years as a professional, he has prioritised Grand Slams over rankings, but a tilt at the world number one spot is now becoming more enticing - and more realistic.
"I'd rather set the bar as high as possible and not quite achieve it than say I'd be happy finishing at five in the world, and finishing at three," the Wimbledon champion explained.
"I'd love to get to number one, obviously, but I think a lot of people are forgetting what Novak's done because he lost in the third round here. The last 18 months have been unbelievable - he's hardly lost any matches at all - so I know that if I'm going to get there, I'm going to have to win more matches against him."
There are currently almost 5,000 ranking points between Djokovic and Murray - which is a vast margin. However, the ATP rankings are calculated over a 12-month period, and if you look only at the points amassed since the start of the year, Djokovic's lead shrinks to 815 points.
Were Murray able to continue his rich vein of form - and go on to beat Djokovic in the final of the US Open in September - then that advantage would be cancelled out.
Game on.
The company is developing technology that it hopes will help create self-driving cars.
Here uses cloud technology to build digital maps.
"High-precision digital maps are a crucial component of the mobility of the future," said Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of Daimler.
The carmakers plan to use Here's technology to combine precise digital maps with real-time vehicle data more closely.
"For the automotive industry, this is the basis for new assistance systems and ultimately fully autonomous driving," the automakers said in a statement.
The rival automakers each plan to hold an equal stake in Here.
The company said vehicle manufacturers are sharing data to make real-time map updates a reality.
"No single carmaker can do it by themselves," Here said on its website.
"The new ownership structure of Here will allow us to accelerate our strategy, further scale our business and fulfil our intent to become the leading location cloud company across industries," said Here president Sean Fernback in a statement.
For Nokia, the sale marks another step in its plan to refocus its business.
Earlier this year, Nokia agreed to buy French rival, Alcatel-Lucent, in a €15.6bn (£11.2bn) deal.
"With this step we complete the latest stage of Nokia's transformation," said Rajeev Suri, chief executive officer of Nokia.
"Going forward, we will focus on our planned combination with Alcatel-Lucent," he added. "Once that is complete, Nokia will be a renewed company, with a world-leading network technology and services business, as well as the licensing and innovation engine of Nokia Technologies."
In 2016 the value of the country's catch hit more than half a billion pounds to stand at a new £563 million high.
That represented a 29% rise in value on fish landings in 2015, driven by a 41% jump in the value of landings for pelagic fish such herring and mackerel.
The latest figures, which show the total volumes up by 3%, were welcomed by Fisheries Secretary Fergus Ewing.
Compared with 2015, the total volume of landings in 2016 rose by 3% to 453,300 tonnes, while total value rose 29%.
There was a 26% rise in the value of shellfish landings, while the total worth of demersal fish caught such as cod or haddock rose by 18%.
Haddock was the most valuable demersal stock in 2016, bringing in £38m.
But Mackerel continues to be the most valuable stock brought to shore and accounts for £169m or 30% of Scottish landings, the Scottish Government statistics showed.
The figures show the shellfish or nephrops category, which includes Norway lobster and langoustine, was valued at £79m, 30% higher than in 2015.
Mr Ewing said: "The fishing industry plays a key role in our rural economy.
"It supports jobs and businesses at sea but also in our coastal communities, and contributes significantly to Scotland's world-class food and drink success story."
He added: "These positive figures reflect the hard work of all those involved with our sea fishing sector."

She was hurt in an accident in Mexico in Central America.

Watch her learning how to walk again.
Royal Ulster Constabulary detective constables Michael Malone, 35, and Ernest Carson, 50, were killed in an IRA gun attack on 26 August 1987.
Another officer and a civilian were wounded in the shooting in the Liverpool Bar on Donegall Quay.
The man who was arrested, 54, was questioned in Belfast on Wednesday.
Det Insp Stuart Griffin said: "Although these murders happened a long time ago, police would continue to appeal to anyone with information about the shooting and those involved to come forward."
David Harris, 68, offered £200,000 for the murder of Hazel Allinson so he could inherit her fortune, sell her £800,000 Sussex home and run off with a sex worker, an Old Bailey trial heard.
Jurors heard he approached two men over the deal but was reported to police.
Harris was later filmed trying to make a deal with a third prospective hitman - but who was an undercover officer.
During the trial, the former producer of the police drama series The Bill said he was researching a spy novel and denied soliciting murder, but jurors found him guilty on three counts.
The court heard he wanted his partner killed in a "mugging gone wrong".
Judge Anne Molyneux QC told Harris: "For your pipe dream, for your obsessive infatuation with a young woman, Ms Allinson, who had protected and nurtured you, was to die a painful and terrifying death in an isolated spot.
"Her death was to fund your life. You had used her until she had outlasted her usefulness to you.
"All that you wanted from her was that she should die and you should inherit her money."
The court heard Harris became besotted with Lithuanian Ugne Cekaviciute, 28, whom he met in a brothel.
He had been with Ms Allinson - a retired scriptwriter who had survived breast cancer - for 27 years and the couple shared her home in the village of Amberley.
But during his five-year affair with Ms Cekaviciute, Harris became entangled in a web of lies and debt as he lavished gifts on her.
The court heard he spent £50,000 of Ms Allinson's savings and told elaborate lies that included pretending to umpire cricket matches away from home, and claims he was looking after his sick brother in a mental hospital.
He first approached mechanic Chris May to kill his partner, but he tried to warn Ms Allinson.
Harris was then put in contact with Duke Dean, but he reported him to City of London Police.
After Harris was videoed meeting an undercover officer, police arrested him at a hotel where they found him in bed with Ms Cekaviciute.
Earlier, the court heard Harris had all the hallmarks of "social anxiety and a narcissistic personality disorder" with manipulative traits and a lack of remorse and guilt.
Prosecutor Philip Gee told the court the twice-divorced father-of-one had a "complex and dysfunctional relationship with women", including his partner and girlfriend.
But in mitigation, Anthony Rimmer said Harris had been a "silly old fool" although his infatuation did not excuse the offences.
He said Ms Cekaviciute was now "out of the picture" and his relationship with Ms Allinson remained an "open question".
Giving evidence, Harris had claimed he was writing a thriller and told the court: "I thought what was happening to me at that time, at that particular juncture, might form the basis of a good thriller.
"It was based on a guy based on me, my sort of age, meets a young girl, falls in love, becomes besotted and over development decides he wants to be with her and decides what he has to do about his wife Holly."
After the hearing, Det Ch Insp Edelle Michaels, from City of London Police, said the offence involved "significant planning and persistence" by Harris.
Describing him as ruthless, she said he had shown to be "calculating" and "intent on causing serious harm".
"His persistence was evident in his approaching not one but three different supposed hitmen," she added.
"This has been a hugely difficult time for the victim, who has been significantly affected.
"The situation could have been far worse had Harris succeeded with his plan and there was an element of good fortune that one of the men Harris approached informed the police, prompting our swift response." | There are "no quick fixes" for turning the education system around in Wales, the education minister has admitted.

In news that will come as something of a surprise to anyone who has crawled through security at JFK airport in New York, the answer, according to Rolling Stone, is the US Transport Security Administration (TSA).
Instagram is typically popular for beautiful images and celebrity shots.
But the TSA has amassed an army of followers sharing a different side to your holiday - snaps that probably wouldn't make it into your carefully curated "best of" album.
The TSA is the group of people who make you queue for ages at the airport so they can check your bags and nick your shampoo, usually when you're already running late for a flight.
But they do so for good reason.
Formed in the aftermath of the 11 September terrorist attacks in the US, the TSA is tasked with securing and protecting US transportation systems.
So they do an important job. But can their Instagram account really be better than myriad stars of stage and screen - everyone, in fact, except a top three comprising Rihanna, National Geographic and Kim Kardashian?
"We ranked the TSA in the top five as we found it fascinating, entertaining and terrifying," Rolling Stone spokeswoman Kathryn Brenner told the Washington Post.
"It opened our eyes to what they have to deal with on a regular basis - from hatchets and brass knuckles to loaded handguns, live eels and a shocking number of batarangs [a bat-shaped throwing weapon].
"We really enjoy seeing airport life from their perspective," she said.
And so do more than half a million followers on Instagram.
The man behind the account is Bob Burns, a 46-year-old self-described (with tongue possibly lodged in cheek) "social media savant".
He was recruited to work on the TSA's social media channels when it decided to launch a blog in 2008.
His posts for the TSA, typically images of weapons people have tried to bring with them on their flight or TSA dogs at work in airports across the US, are frequently accompanied by his own wry observations, as well as useful advice for travellers.
"I think the account strikes a chord with people because until we started posting photos, many just assumed we were only finding small pocket knives and bottles of water," Burns told the BBC.
"People are gobsmacked right away from the number of firearms we discover alone - most of them loaded."
He said that every time items such as large knives or firearms are discovered, an incident report is generated and photographs are taken for the report. Burns has access to the reports and cherry-picks the items he thinks will generate most discussion.
And those items have included everything from a knife hidden inside an enchilada to a medieval mace.
"There have been plenty of scary items," he said.
"But this live grenade sticks out in my mind."
"When travellers come through TSA checkpoints, they only see a brief window of our operations," Burns said.
"Our Instagram account gives them an insider's view of TSA and leaves many appreciating the work our officers do."

A commission chaired by ex-Financial Services Authority boss Sir Howard Davies to examine ways to expand airport capacity will report in 2015.
Options include a third runway at Heathrow and a new four-runway facility in the Thames estuary.
The coalition was initially against Heathrow expansion but leading Tories are now calling for a third runway.
The commission will also look at possible expansion at two other major London airports - Gatwick and Stansted.
London Mayor Boris Johnson, who opposes the expansion of Heathrow, has called the decision to set up a commission a "fudge".
And he strongly criticised Prime Minister David Cameron's decision to remove transport secretary Justine Greening from her post, which he claimed was a prelude to a U-turn on a third runway.
Ms Greening's successor Patrick McLoughlin said the Davies commission would identify and recommend to government "options for maintaining this country's status as an international hub for aviation".
In a written statement, the new transport secretary said: "This is a very difficult debate, but the reality is that since the 1960s Britain has failed to keep pace with our international competitors in addressing long-term aviation capacity and connectivity needs."
He went on: "The government believes that maintaining the UK's status as a leading global aviation hub is fundamental to our long-term international competitiveness.
"But the government is also mindful of the need to take full account of the social, environmental and other impacts of any expansion in airport capacity."
The Davies commission will publish an interim report by the end of 2013, with ideas on how to improve the use of existing runway capacity over the next five years and an assessment of what is needed to maintain the UK's global hub status.
That will be followed, in the summer of 2015, by the commission's final report, which will include a recommendation on the best option for increasing airport capacity.
Mr McLoughlin said he wanted a fair and open process which took account of the views of passengers and residents as well as the aviation industry, business, local and devolved government and environmental groups.
He added: "We would like, if possible, to involve the opposition as part of our work alongside Sir Howard to finalise the arrangements for the commission."
Downing Street also stressed the need for cross-party consensus on an issue that was of "fundamental importance to the long-term competitiveness of the UK".
"This is a contentious issue and if we are going to deliver a lasting solution for the UK, we need to move forward on an agreed evidence base and, if possible, a high degree of political consensus," said the prime minister's official spokesman.
If Scotland lose at Wembley on Friday, I think Gordon Strachan will walk.
For Gareth Southgate, it is a bit different.
Southgate needs a strong England performance and a convincing victory for people to feel he deserves the chance to be manager on a permanent basis, and for there to be a bit of hope for the future.
But the likelihood is that he will get the job anyway, as long as he gets any sort of win.
Nobody was expecting Scotland to win Group F but they should be right in the mix for second place. Instead, their whole campaign has been disappointing.
The level of their performances has not been good and neither have their results - not just in qualifying for Russia 2018 but in all of their competitive fixtures over the past 18 months.
On top of that, there has been Gordon's negative body language and responses in interviews.
Without going over old ground too much, I think he has given Scottish football a bit of a kicking at times with some of his recent comments.
When he said in the summer that Scotland were a nation of scared footballers, well if I was part of his squad then I would not be overly impressed to hear my manager say that. It can hardly have helped morale before qualifying started.
Strachan's biggest problem, though, is how well Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland did at the European Championship.
People ask how many of the Northern Ireland squad would get into the Scotland squad - and there would not be very many of them. So it is fair to say Scotland should be doing better with the players they have got.
In that respect, Gordon has majorly underachieved in this campaign, which is why Wembley might be his last stand.

Scotland are not coming into the game in any sort of position of strength, but you could say exactly the same about England.
You cannot get away from the fact that England were really incapable against Slovenia and extremely lucky to get a point. They only did that because of Joe Hart's saves.
The interesting dynamic for this match is that both teams are low on confidence, and there are reasons why both of them must feel they have got a chance.
If England's players play to their capabilities then you would have to favour them to win at home but, looking at the team's recent performances, that looks unlikely to happen.

I think Harry Kane should start the game up front but he has only just returned from injury. Behind him, Dele Alli is definitely out so there are question marks over who plays as centre-forward and as the number 10.
There are other problems too. It was in the wide areas that I thought England were exceptionally poor against Slovenia.
I keep hearing how Theo Walcott is on top of his game but he did not perform well against Slovenia.
Walcott has done better with his goal scoring for Arsenal this season but he is not a clever player, or one who has a lot of guile - he is all about pace.
We cannot be sure who Southgate will pick in attack and, while Scotland are at a low ebb, they should remember that this is not a brilliant England team by any stretch of the imagination.
England have not recovered from the way they went out of Euro 2016 to Iceland and have had all the manager shenanigans with Sam Allardyce's appointment and exit since then too.
Media playback is not supported on this device
As I say, it looks like Southgate will get the job anyway but if Scotland win that would put his position in serious doubt.
Even a draw could do the same, so it is a huge night for him - I don't think Tuesday's friendly with Spain will come into the equation.
It does not appear that the Football Association has a plan B in terms of England's next manager if things do not go to plan against Scotland.
But if the hosts get a positive result, I do think it would be right to keep Southgate on.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It feels like the pressure is all on England to win, and that is the message Strachan should be getting across to his players in the build-up.
The biggest thing for Gordon to do, though, is to pick the right team this time.
He will not admit that he has got things wrong in previous games - when Oliver Burke was not even on the bench for the Slovakia game, for example - while what he said about Leigh Griffiths' height as a reason for leaving him out was just utter nonsense really.
The big news in terms of his selection for Friday is that Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has declared himself available and been called up, less than three months after retiring from international football.
I know from listening to Charlie Adam on BBC Radio 5 live earlier this week that he is not overly convinced that was the right decision but I think it was.
Scotland are stronger with Brown in the side, and have a better chance of winning the game.

Where Scotland might fall short is at the back. They have got big issues at centre-half and full-back, where I think Callum Paterson could struggle. Paterson is a dogged and determined defender but this level is a tough ask for him.
That's the reason I think England will win but, like most people, I still think they are bang average at the moment.
Everyone wants the England team to play a scintillating brand of football, and I am sure Southgate aspires to it. But the truth of the matter is that I will be sitting at Wembley watching the game, thinking that is not going to happen.
Chris Sutton was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Scotland take on old rivals England at Wembley in a 2018 World Cup qualifier. Who would you have in your starting XI?
Palace have played on the break all season, because they have quick forwards who can be their match-winners.
But United's patient approach will not see them committing many men forward, and opportunities for Alan Pardew's side to counter-attack will be few and far between.
Media playback is not supported on this device
To be a threat, Palace will need to do more than sit deep, they must press United whenever they have the ball. If the Eagles can hurry them, and can force them back, they will give themselves a much better chance of scoring.
The first goal is absolutely key for Palace, not only because it would give them something to hang on to.
It would also mean United have to come out at them more, giving the Eagles more space to exploit the way they want to play, on the break.
If United score first, though, it is Palace who will have to take more risks and their own defence is far less convincing.
Who would be in your side? Pick your FA Cup final XI

Marcus Rashford is one of the few success stories of United's season but he had not even made his senior debut when they laboured to a 1-0 win over Sheffield United at the start of their cup run.
We have seen plenty of those type of performances recently - United have played far too much careful football under Louis van Gaal.
Being cautious in attack is not 'the United way' and their shortage of goals is one of the reasons they missed out on fourth place in the Premier League.
Their football is stifling, and playing backwards and forwards all the time is not enjoyable to watch.
But it does make them difficult to beat, and I also think there is something about playing at Wembley that suits them.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Even if it is actually the same size as several Premier League grounds, it always feels like there is more room on that pitch.
United played well there in their semi-final win over Everton, when there were spells in the first half that saw some of their best attacking play of the season.
Wayne Rooney, playing in the deeper role that has become his regular position, pulled the strings from midfield and he will be looking to do the same on Saturday.
If he is fit, Rooney's former United team-mate Wilfried Zaha will be one of Palace's key men at Wembley. He definitely has something to prove against his old club too.
Zaha has just been voted Palace's player of the year and Pardew has praised his attitude, something that was called into question during his time at United.
Maybe the penny has dropped after the way things went for him at United, when I don't think he realised what a wonderful opportunity he had going there.
Whatever went wrong for him at Old Trafford, his ability was never in doubt.
He is still only 23 and could still have a very big career ahead of him, starting on Saturday if he can shake off a torn leg muscle in time to play.
United will be in control of the ball and therefore they will be in control of the game.
For Palace to win they will need their whole team to function pretty much as well as they can do and I don't think they are playing well enough for that to happen.
They will have to stay tight at the back and score when they get a chance. Looking at the statistics, that is something they have done very little of in the past five months.
Their league form this year is awful and part of that is their lack of clean sheets - they have managed only two in 19 matches in the league this year. I don't see them keeping United out.
I know it is the cup final and a one-off game and we have seen shock results before - when Wimbledon or Wigan won, for example, but the way the two teams match up means this final has a different feel about it for me.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Whether United win or not, I don't think it will keep Van Gaal in his job.
Their league position is the way this season will be judged and, by finishing fifth and missing out on the Champions League, it will be seen as a failure.
Nobody in a position of any prominence or power at United has said Van Gaal will be in charge next year. The only person saying that is Van Gaal.
But while winning the cup will not save him, it would still be important to the club and the fans.
Apart from the 2013 Community Shield, United have not won any silverware since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure as manager a few months earlier.
If they don't beat Palace on Saturday, it will be their longest spell without a trophy since the five years between their two FA Cups in 1985 and 1990.
The FA Cup would not be their first choice, but it does not really matter what the competition is - United are always a club that need to win something. This weekend, I think they will.
PREDICTION: MAN UTD TO WIN 2-0
Mark Lawrenson was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
The attack took place early on Thursday in a market place in Urumqi.
More than 90 other people were injured as attackers in two vehicles drove into crowds and threw explosives. One of the vehicles then blew up.
China called the attack a "violent terrorist incident", while the US called it an "outrageous act of violence against innocent civilians".
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said there was "no justification for the killing of civilians".
The latest information came from the state-run Global Times, which said it had "got information that five suspects who participated in the terrorist attack blew themselves up".
Police were investigating whether they had accomplices, the paper added. It was not clear whether the five were included in the death toll.
The BBC's John Sudworth, who is in Urumqi, said a heavy security presence had been deployed at the scene of the attack.
Some shops have opened again and there are a few signs of returning normality, but the shock over the brutality of what happened here remains, he says.
Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs?
With ranks of riot police now patrolling the area, local residents can be seen standing around, talking quietly to one another.
Some have friends and relatives who were killed or injured, run over by the cars that the attackers drove through the morning street market, or caught in the blast when one of the cars exploded, our correspondent adds.
Xinjiang, which is home to the Muslim Uighur minority, has seen a spate of attacks in recent years.
Beijing has blamed these - and other recent mass-casualty attacks - on Uighur separatists.
These include an attack in Beijing, where a car ploughed into pedestrians in Tiananmen Square, killing five people, and attacks at railway stations in Urumqi and Kunming.
China says it is pouring money into the Xinjiang region, but some Uighurs say their traditions and freedoms are being crushed.

The so-called "International Verification Commission" says it has put a small part of Eta's arsenal under seal.
The Spanish government has dismissed the disarmament move, and the verifiers' role, calling the Eta gesture "theatrical".
Eta declared a definitive end to hostilities in 2011.
Video passed exclusively to the BBC in London by an intermediary shows two masked militants from Eta, dressed in black, displaying a few of their weapons laid out on a table for inspection by the verifiers.
The video was handed over by an intermediary acting with full approval from the Amsterdam-based team of arms verifiers, who are trying to build on Eta's ceasefire.
The pictures, recorded by Eta at a secret location, show two of the international verifiers looking on. They are hoping this could mark the beginning of full disarmament by Eta.
The verifiers in the video are Sri Lankan Ram Manikkalingam and Ronnie Kasrils, a former South African guerrilla leader in the African National Congress (ANC). They are seen signing what is apparently an inventory. They say these guns and explosives have now been put under seal and beyond use. They call it a hugely important first step.
The weapons seen on the video include what appears to be a G3 assault rifle with two magazines, a semi-automatic pistol and two revolvers.
There are also seven plastic bags, each labelled as containing half a kilo of Pentrita high explosive, plus what look like three anti-tank rockets, but without a launcher, as well as detonators and timing devices.
The verifiers regard this as only a very small part of Eta's total arsenal, but for them the symbolism of Eta's participation in an apparent act of disarmament is what counts. The militant group was declared "a terrorist organisation" by the European Union in 2001.
It has a long and bloody past, and has killed more than 800 people across four decades.
Eta was formed more than 50 years ago in the era of Spain's dictator, General Franco, to fight for an independent Basque homeland.
A huge Eta bomb in Madrid in 1973 killed Spain's then Prime Minister, Luis Carrero Blanco.
That killing ensured the whole world took notice.
In 1980, Eta militants killed 118 people in Spain, making it the group's deadliest year.
But the combined efforts of French and Spanish security forces over the past 20 years in the border area known as the Basque Country led to a string of arrests, stripping Eta of its leadership and driving it to a position seen by many observers as effective defeat.
When Eta declared an unconditional end to armed activities in October 2011, it was seen as a major breakthrough. The Spanish government welcomed the move, but insisted Eta must go on to disband and disarm entirely.
The government in Madrid refuses to negotiate with Eta, and does not recognise the verification commission, which is spearheading efforts by large numbers of international political figures and specialists in peace-making.
Those mediators hope the latest move by Eta could create a better climate for dialogue between Madrid and recognised Basque nationalist parties and groups, some of which have been hobbled and stigmatised by association with Eta.
Since the Eta ceasefire declaration the Spanish authorities have been forced to release some Eta prisoners, following a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights. But hundreds more who are not covered by the ruling remain behind bars.
Most Spanish people think that is where they should be, and condemn Eta.
But sympathisers are urging the Spanish government to release many more, and to move Eta prisoners from jails in distant parts of Spain to places much closer to their families in the Basque Country, who find visits both difficult and prohibitively expensive.
So reaction to the latest development will be crucial. The verification team says Eta has now put some of its weapons beyond use. But does this amount to any sort of political game changer?
Nicola Sturgeon defended "right and proper" plans to put back legislation with a large number of consultation responses to consider.
Education was raised by all opposition parties during the weekly session of first minister's questions.
There were angry exchanges as the government was accused of "stalling".
The proposed legislation was originally meant to be published early in 2017, but Education Secretary John Swinney has now said it will be published "sometime during 2017" so he has time to "chew over" some 1,100 responses to a school governance review.
During first minister's questions, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said education reform had been left on a "slow train".
She said: "A year and a half ago, the first minister staked her reputation on reforming Scotland's schools and what have we seen since then?
"We've seen literacy standards slipping, we've seen numeracy standards sliding, we've seen Curriculum for Excellence failing, and now we've seen her education secretary stalling.
"She keeps putting their referendum on the front foot but she's putting everyone else's child's education on the back burner. Hasn't her government got their priorities all wrong on this?"
Ms Sturgeon replied: "Every time Ruth Davidson stands up in this chamber all she manages to do is shoot herself in the foot. I want to talk about education and she just continually tries to shoe-horn in the mentions of independence and a referendum.
"We have had the consultation on governance reform. We have received over 1,000 responses to that consultation and it's right and proper that the education secretary considers all of those responses and then comes forward to parliament with our proposals on the way forward."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale followed up the Tory leader's questions, prompting the first minister to refer to her as a "pound shop Ruth Davidson".
Ms Dugdale said: "It has been 10 months since the election, yet parents and teachers still remain in the dark about the SNP's plans for our schools. As we've just heard, the education secretary has kicked the consultation on how schools are run into the long grass.
"The first minister said that's just one part of her education reforms, and she's right. There's also the Education Bill, the very symbol of this government's apparent number one priority - it has been kicked into the long grass too.
"The SNP's power grab to centralise every school budget in the country, kicked into the long grass as well. And the roll out of national testing, which she also mentioned, has been delayed as well."
The first minister replied: "We're giving £120 million direct to head teachers in almost every single one of our schools across the country. Giving resources and the power to use those resources direct to head teachers.
"Only in the world of Scottish Labour could that be described as centralising education budgets. It is the exact opposition of centralising education budgets."
Green co-convener Patrick Harvie raised the case of a school support worker who was told to watch sitcom The Big Bang Theory as training for how to deal with a pupil with Asperger Syndrome.
He said Holyrood's education committee had heard "shocking" evidence of provisions for pupils with additional support needs.
Ms Sturgeon said the Big Bang Theory case was "completely unacceptable", adding: "Something like 95% of all children with additional support needs are taught in mainstream schools.
"We must not see the support that they need as just being support that they get from additional support teachers. Every single teacher working in our schools has a responsibility to provide the support that those young people need."
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie asked Ms Sturgeon to "think again" about "national testing" and school league tables.
Ms Sturgeon said she did not support national testing or league tables, but "standardised testing" and the publication of data on a school by school basis.
Both she and Mr Rennie accused each other of being "100% wrong" about the subject, with the first minister accusing the Lib Dem leader of "trying to mislead people about standardised testing".
This drew a point of order from Lib Dem MSP Mike Rumbles, who accused Ms Sturgeon of using unparliamentarily language.
Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh said he did not consider the "misleading" jibe unparliamentarily, but reminded members to treat each other with respect.
A lorry packed with explosives was detonated in the Karrada district while families were shopping for the holiday marking the end of Ramadan.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the suicide attack.
An earlier estimate for the attack had put the toll at 165.
Iraq remains under an official state of mourning following the bombing.
The destruction of the area was all but complete. Bewildered local residents have held candlelight vigils and prayed for peace.
Scores of people were also injured but most have been released from hospital, according to the Iraqi health ministry.
The ministry said those critically injured had been sent abroad, without giving further details.
The bombing in a mostly Shia Muslim area just after midnight came a week after Iraqi forces had recaptured the city of Falluja from IS.
Reports said a lorry had been packed with explosives and left near the Hadi Center, popular with shoppers.
The powerful blast engulfed the area in flames. Such was the chaos it took days for the scale of the attack to become clear.
Saddam Hussein's regime was harsh, and it could be murderous. He led the country into a series of disastrous wars and brought crippling international sanctions down on their heads.
But with the benefit of 13 years of hindsight, the world that existed before 9 April 2003 seems to be a calmer, more secure place. They have not had a proper day of peace since the old regime fell.
As for democracy, many I have spoken to believe the hopelessly sectarian political system is broken. At least, they say, law and order existed under Saddam.
Some hoped things might get better after the army's victory over IS in Falluja. The devastating bomb attack in Baghdad in the early hours of Sunday has blasted that hope away.

The Iraqi government has been heavily criticised over the attack, with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi met by angry crowds when he visited the blast site.
On Tuesday, Interior Minister Mohammed Ghabban submitted his resignation but it has not yet been accepted.
He described checkpoints dotted through Baghdad as "absolutely useless", according to AFP news agency.
The government has stepped up security in Baghdad and also said a group of prisoners convicted of terror crimes would be put to death in the immediate future.
IS follows an extreme version of Sunni Islam and has frequently targeted Shia, whom it regards as apostates.
The group has suffered a series of territorial losses in Iraq and analysts say it is increasingly resorting to insurgent tactics.
The decision comes in the wake of a European Commission inquiry in February into the way the notes are used.
Senior ECB officials said at the time that they needed more evidence that the notes facilitated criminal activity.
The UK asked banks to stop handling €500 notes in 2010 after a report found they were mainly used by criminals.
The ECB says the €500 banknote remains legal tender and will always retain its value.
It will stop issuing the note around the end of 2018, when it will bring in new €100 and €200 banknotes.
A report earlier this year for the Harvard Kennedy School, urged the world's 20 largest economies to stop issuing the largest notes in circulation - £50, $100 and €500 notes - to tackle crime.
Peter Sands, former chief executive of Standard Chartered bank, said the high-denomination notes were favoured by terrorists, drug lords and tax evaders.
Illegal money flows exceed $2 trillion (£1.4 trillion) a year, he said.
The 27-year-old, who started his career at Crewe, joined Albion in January, playing 19 games and scoring one goal to help the club avoid relegation.
He has made more than 100 appearances for Leeds since joining in 2013.
Boss Nigel Clough said: "He's quiet and unassuming, he's maturing into his role, knows what he's good at, knows his limitations and plays accordingly."

It follows criticism after Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice received only a two-game suspension in July for assaulting his then-fiancee.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell admitted the punishment was too lenient when revealing the tougher new policy.
It applies to all NFL personnel and covers all incidents of physical force.
Goodell said: "My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families.
"I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values. I didn't get it right."
Some patients who have faced incurable depression for decades have had symptoms disappear within hours of taking low doses of the drug.
The small trial on 28 people, reported in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, shows the benefits can last months.
Experts said the findings opened up a whole new avenue of research.
Depression is common and affects one-in-10 people at some point in their lives.
Antidepressants, such as prozac, and behavioural therapies help some patients, but a significant proportion remain resistant to any form of treatment.
A team at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust gave patients doses of ketamine over 40 minutes on up to six occasions.
Eight showed improvements in reported levels of depression, with four of them improving so much they were no longer classed as depressed.
Some responded within six hours of the first infusion of ketamine.
Lead researcher Dr Rupert McShane said: "It really is dramatic for some people, it's the sort of thing really that makes it worth doing psychiatry, it's a really wonderful thing to see.
He added: "[The patients] say 'ah this is how I used to think' and the relatives say 'we've got x back'."
Dr McShane said this included patients who had lived with depression for 20 years.
The duration of the effect is still a problem.
Some relapse within days, while others have found they benefit for around three months and have since had additional doses of ketamine.
There are also some serious side-effects including one case of the supply of blood to the brain being interrupted.
Doctors say people should not try to self-medicate because of the serious risk to health outside of a hospital setting.
"It is exciting, but it's not about to be a routine treatment as where we need to be going is maintaining the response... it's not about to replace prozac."
However, it does offer a new avenue of research into a field that has struggled to find new treatments for depression.
David Taylor, professor of psychopharmacology at the Maudsley Hospital, London, told the BBC: "In these kinds of patients, spontaneous remission almost never happens, people going to these clinics are at the end of the road.
"It shows that depression is something chemical, that it can be reversed with chemicals, it dispenses for once and for all that you can just pull your socks up.
"What restricts it is the potential for disturbing psychological adverse effects and the route by which is given - intravenous - does restrict it to a small number of people."
He said in the future drug companies would develop a chemical that had the benefits, but without the side-effects, and that could be taken by something such as an inhaler.
The Home Office is reclassifying ketamine in the UK to be a class B drug, although it is already used in medicine for the treatment of back pain and as an anaesthetic.
The High Court in Glasgow heard Amir Bakhjam, 38, met the woman and her boyfriend in Ashton Lane in Glasgow before heading to a nightclub in the city centre in July 2015.
After the woman had a row with her boyfriend she went home with Bakhjam.
He claimed they had consensual sex but she said she woke up to find him "helping himself". He was convicted of rape and will be sentenced in March.
The court heard that Bakhjam had gone with the woman and her boyfriend to Kushion Night Club in Bath Street.
She told the court she had drunk Prosecco, rum and cokes, a cocktail and shots.
The woman said: "The last thing I remember is going up to get another round of drinks at Kushion."
Bakhjam was found guilty of removing her clothing and raping her while she was heavily under the influence of alcohol, a drug or similar intoxicating substance and was unconscious or asleep and incapable of giving consent.
The court heard that in a phone call to a friend that night Bakhjam described his victim by saying: "She's steaming. She's out of it, she's a riot."
He had also faced another rape allegation at his home on 30 June 2013, but this charge was withdrawn after the alleged victim refused to give evidence.
The court heard that Bakhjam has a previous conviction for assault.
He was placed on the sex offenders register by Judge Graeme Buchanan who remanded him in custody pending background reports.
Mr Justice Peter Smith's remarks came as he set a trial date for February over claims that Rangers chairman Dave King breached a gagging order.
The case relates to the retail deal between Rangers and Mike Ashley's firm.
It emerged at the hearing that Sports Direct had now dropped its £200,000 damages claim in the case.
The origins of the case go back to the retail agreement which Sports Direct entered into with the club's previous board.
The new board, which was elected last year, has said before that it would like to renegotiate the deal.
Mr Ashley won a court injunction preventing Rangers, and anyone on the new board, from revealing details of the agreement.
Sports Direct alleged that Mr King breached this injunction during an interview he gave to Sky at his home in South Africa.
At a hearing in December, Mr Justice Smith dismissed the firm's motion that Mr King should be jailed.
When the case called again on Tuesday, the judge was critical of the way Sports Direct had conducted its case.
The judge added: "The whole way that the claimants have been conducting themselves ... shows that they have been abusing processes of the court in relation to the damages claim."
During the hearing, Mr Justice Smith also told the court that he had wrongly been accused of being a Freemason - and his wife had wrongly been accused of supporting Rangers.
The judge said his clerk had received emails responding to "various blogs" on the internet.
"One of the blogs insists that I am a Freemason, which is wrong," said the judge.
"Also, my wife is a 'life-long Rangers supporter'."
He added: "She is from Edinburgh. The idea that she would support any Glasgow team is laughable."
Three years ago Mr Justice Smith oversaw a case involving Portsmouth FC. He had told Portsmouth fans gathered at a hearing in London that he was a Hull City fan.
Rock coring is done for research of rocks' chemical make up and investigations into how the earth's magnetic field has changed.
When carried out properly, the visual impact is minimal.
However, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) said there was growing concern about poor practice at sensitive sites.
Writing in Geoscientist Online
, SNH geologist Colin MacFadyen said guidance set out in the 1989 Code of Conduct for Rock Coring and also the Scottish Core Code were being ignored.
He said examples of irresponsible drilling included holes drilled into the Sandwick Fish Bed near Stromness, on Orkney.
In the Geological Society's magazine, Mr MacFadyen said: "Worryingly, there are reports from around the world, including one from Scotland, of small scale geological structures not only being defaced, but having been annihilated by coring.
"It is not just geoscientists who are becoming alarmed at the level of irresponsible core sampling, as the cumulative effects of this otherwise efficient sampling method are becoming increasingly apparent to even the most casual observers.
"Irresponsible coring is tarnishing the reputation of geological science as well as damaging exposure, with the general public experiencing defaced outcrop in every setting imaginable - remote beaches and islands, mountain tops, and, lamentably, classic geological sections within statutory protected areas."
Mr MacFadyen's concerns add to previous warnings about the condition of Scotland's geology, fossils and soils.
Last year, tonnes of rock were disturbed at a Jurassic site on Skye in what was described as one of Scotland's most reckless acts of fossil collecting.
SNH said rock was dug away from cliffs near Bearreraig Bay in an apparent organised search for valuable specimens.
Dinosaur footprints have also been removed from Valtos, another location on the island.
Skye is a key dinosaur fossil site in Scotland.
Bearreraig Bay, north of Portree, is within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A crowbar was suspected to have been used to prise away some of the rock.
The State of Scotland's Soils, a report published last year, suggested planning authorities should better understand the role of soils in storing carbon and do more to protect prime farm land.
The document's contributors included public agencies and scientists.
Soils support agricultural businesses worth £700m to the Scottish economy, according to the report.
However, it said the use of increasingly heavy farm machinery and how they compact soils posed a potential threat that was not fully understood in Scotland.
Other key threats to the quality of soils identified in the report included the effects of climate change.
Rainfall and temperatures influence the richness of organic matters - such as plants - in soils, the report said.

Jayawardene will join England's tour to the United Arab Emirates for the Test series against Pakistan next month.
Bell, 33, described the appointment as "brilliant" and said he would "badger" the newly retired batsman for advice.
"The one thing we need to do is get better on the subcontinent, and he's one of the best ever," he said.
Jayawardene, 38, scored 11,814 runs in 149 Tests and 12,650 runs in 448 one-day internationals.
"To have his input leading into the series, and all the preparation, is going to be huge for us," said Bell. "I'm really looking forward to that.
"He was certainly hard to get out in those conditions, so I'll be picking his brain all the way through if I can, probably badgering him a bit too much, but trying to get everything I can out of him to make my game better."
England lost 3-0 to Pakistan in the UAE in 2012, but Bell believes they are better equipped this time - and says either Alex Hales or Moeen Ali could open the batting.
"Experience tells me in the UAE you have to be flexible, you have to go for a different style of cricket," he said.
"We have to look for another alternative when we go to the subcontinent. We potentially might be opening with a spinner, so to have the option of having two or even three spinners is nice.
"If Mo does get an opportunity to open the batting then it gives us another slot for us to get another bowler in, which is interesting. It's a squad with a lot of possibilities."
Bell, who expressed uncertainty about his future with England after the recent Ashes series win, also reiterated he is determined to continue on to the tour of Australia in 2017-18, when he will be 35.
"It was right for me to reflect on a few things," he said.
"You can't go on tours half-hearted, and you can't go on tours not having done the work and prepared to go through some real tough times.
"There's no doubt, having had some time to think about it, that I want to be on that plane to Australia."
The Scot, 26, converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win 6-4 7-5 6-4 and claim his second major title.
In an atmosphere reminiscent of his Olympic final win last summer, Murray was willed on by the majority of the 15,000 spectators on Centre Court, thousands watching on the nearby big screen and millions more around the country.
The final game was a battle in itself, with Murray seeing three match points slip by from 40-0 and fending off three Djokovic break points with some fearless hitting, before the Serb netted a backhand to end the contest.
After a gruelling three hours 10 minutes in searing temperatures, Murray had finally followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry's 1936 win at the All England Club.
Perry used to leap over the net in celebration, but Britain's new champion roared in delight before sinking to his knees on the turf.
Murray, who collected a first prize of £1.6m, then headed into the stands to celebrate with his family and support team, moments later parading the trophy around Centre Court.
He could barely believe he had won, saying: "It feels slightly different to last year. Last year was one of the toughest moments of my career, so to manage to win the tournament today...
"It was an unbelievably tough match, so many long games."
And he later gathered his thoughts in a BBC TV interview, telling Sue Barker: "It was tough speaking after the match. There are a lot of people who have worked with me over the last 10 or 15 years or so.
"I was privileged enough to go into the locker room straight after the match and Andy was basically in a state of shock. I just gave him a big hug when I got in there and said 'I really don't know how you did that' and he said 'nor do I'."

"I didn't know what to do with myself. The noise levels during the whole match were just incredible."
The Dunblane native becomes Scotland's first Wimbledon singles champion since Harold Mahony in 1896, and Britain's first since Virginia Wade in 1977.
Murray had been on top from the outset against an unusually erratic Djokovic, finally converting his seventh break point after three dramatic games that took 20 minutes.
The home supporters were brought down to earth immediately when Djokovic recovered the break to love, but the Serb was leaking errors and his 13th in just seven games saw Murray move clear again at 4-3.
A tense game followed after Murray, serving into the sun, opened with two double faults, but he fought his way out of three break points and served out the set to love.
An hour gone, and all was going to plan for the British number one, but Djokovic began to find his range in the early stages of the second set.
The top seed got the better of two rallies approaching 30 strokes as he broke on his way to a 4-1 lead, and looked on course to level at 15-30 in the following game, but Murray would not give it up.
Having struggled to defend his own second serve, Murray now turned the tables and put the pressure on Djokovic, and the Serb succumbed with a double fault to give up his advantage in game seven.
Murray was the man in command once again and when he cracked a 128mph ace and a nerveless smash to save two break points for 4-4, the crowd sensed a real opportunity developing.
Djokovic was vulnerable and he showed it with a tirade at the umpire over a line call when serving at 5-5, but he had run out of Hawk-Eye challenges and moments later netted a forehand to give Murray a priceless opportunity.
Once again, Murray found his best serving form when he needed it most, closing out the set to love with an ace to bring the Centre Court crowd to its feet.
The sense of hope around the stadium became something closer to disbelief when Murray raced in to pick up a drop shot and hammer a forehand on his way to a break at the start of the third, and he threatened to run away with it with seven out of eight games.
Back Djokovic came, throwing in drop shots to get the Briton on the run and reeling off four straight games on his way to a 4-2 lead, but Murray was not to be denied.
He wrestled back the initiative to level at 4-4 and surged on, hammering away at the Djokovic forehand and drawing yet another error to move 5-4 clear.
All that was left was to serve for the title, and it was never likely to be straightforward, but after 12 tortuous minutes Murray sent over a forehand that Djokovic could only put in the net.
"I have played in a lot of Slam finals, all against Roger or Novak," said Murray. "Roger is probably the greatest player ever, Novak is one of the mentally strongest ever. I never had experience on my side.
"To beat him was so tough; it was such a tough match."
Ken Matheson, 71, says he suffered a nervous breakdown and "seriously contemplated suicide".
The claims are made in his statement, which the BBC has obtained, to the UK Sport independent review into the culture at British Cycling.
The review came after separate allegations of bullying and sexism at British Cycling.
Performance director Shane Sutton resigned in April after being accused of making sexist and derogatory comments to cyclists - though he was later cleared of all but one of the claims against him.
A British Cycling spokesman said evidence for the independent review into the culture of its World Class Programme had been "sought and welcomed from a wide range of sources", but added it would be "inappropriate to comment" until the full review is published.
Matheson worked for British Cycling from January 1999 to December 2002, coaching Team GB's men's road squad and managing the road programme, the women's endurance programme and the Paralympic team.
He says after he "fell from favour" with senior staff, he was subjected to "undermining, intimidating and threatening" behaviour, which he described as a "frightening experience".
He describes the culture within British Cycling as "macho, brutal and divisive" with fear used as "a powerful management tool".
Although he says he signed a confidentiality agreement on leaving, he tweeted on Wednesday: "I'm talking now - and sod the gagging clause!"
Matheson says he was "bullied" into leaving British Cycling, and his solicitor advised him not to accept the terms he was offered.
Among the other allegations made by Matheson are:
Matheson's account of events is highly critical of Sir Dave Brailsford, who joined British Cycling in 1997 and worked under Keen before succeeding him in 2003.
Matheson says during his time at the organisation it turned into a dictatorship with a "management style based on fear and favour".
Earlier this week, Brailsford, 52, appeared in front of a culture, media and sport select committee holding an inquiry into tackling doping in sport.
During Brailsford's time at British Cycling, it delivered its biggest medal haul since 1908 - with four at the 2004 Olympics. Great Britain topped the medal table at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Games.
Matheson's statement will form part of UK Sport's independent review into the culture within British Cycling, which stopped accepting evidence on 30 November and is expected to publish in January.
Cox, who took T38 100m athletics bronze on Friday, won the C4-5 time trial as Dame Sarah Storey finished fourth.
Her success came shortly after GB's Hannah Cockroft retained her T34 100m title and 15-year-old team-mate Kare Adenegan took silver.
Britain have won 35 medals in Rio, including 15 golds.
Cox told Channel 4: "I can't believe it. I'm over the moon. I have only been doing it a year and a half and being on top of the world is amazing."
Earlier, Andy Lewis won GB's first gold of the day with victory in the PT2 Para-triathlon.
Sabrina Fortune claimed women's F20 shot put bronze, while swimmer Alice Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke.
Toby Gold won silver and compatriot Andy Small bronze in the men's T33 100m as Britain secured eight medals on the third day.
Isabel Barr was the last Briton to win a Paralympic medal in two sports at the same event with medals in the shooting and athletics at Seoul 1988.
Cox was only 16 months old when Storey won her first Paralympic medal at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where she competed as a swimmer.
Cox had a stroke aged 23, which led to her being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Storey, a 12-time gold medallist who won the C4-5 time trial at London 2012, completed the 500m race in 37.068 seconds to take the lead.
However, Cox triumphed in 34.598 seconds, with China's Zhou Jufang taking silver in 36.004 and compatriot Ruan Jianping bronze in 36.557.
Cox said: "I have worked so hard, my legs were tired and I was mentally exhausted from yesterday."
Storey said: "I'm a pursuiter - it should be a sprinter winning it.
"Fourth is the worst place to be, but even if I'd gone as quick as I did in London I'd still have been fourth."
BBC Sport's Elizabeth Hudson in Rio
"This was always the race which would be the toughest part of Dame Sarah Storey's Rio programme.
"Most of her training is focused on road racing so going from that to the minimum distance was always going to be a challenge.
"Kadeena Cox was favourite for gold and she delivered in style with a new world record to follow her athletics bronze on Friday night."
Adenegan, 15, is the youngest athlete in the Great Britain team and is the only racer to have beaten Cockroft during her four-year dominance in the T34 category.
The pair were almost level for the first 40m on Saturday, before Cockroft powered through to finish in 17.42 seconds, a Paralympic record.
Adenegan, who took up the sport after watching the London Paralympics, finished in a personal best 18.29 seconds.
"The 100m is my favourite event, my strongest. I'm a little upset with the time," Cockroft told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I was going for the world record all season. I was a tenth of a second away from it. But I came for the gold, and I've got the gold."
Fortune, 19, earlier threw a career-best 12.94m to take bronze in the women's F20 shot put.
"I came here for a personal best - I didn't think I'd get a medal as well," she said.
Richard Whitehead, 40, set a Paralympic record of 23.07 seconds to qualify for Sunday's T42 200m final.
Graeme Ballard was fifth in the T36 100m final, with Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi of Malaysia winning gold in 12.07 seconds, after Ukrainian favourite Roman Palvyk was disqualified for a false start.
Earlier, Lewis secured PT2 gold as triathlon made its Paralympics debut.
The 33-year-old, who had his right leg amputated aged 22, finished in one hour 11 minutes 49 seconds.
"It brings tears to my eyes that I'll be able to tell my kids that I won this gold medal," said Lewis. "Perhaps I'll have my first beer in two years now."
In the PT4 event, George Peasgood finished seventh and Great Britain team-mate David Hill 10th.
In the pool, Ellie Robinson - the S6 50m butterfly gold medallist - finished fourth and four-time Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds sixth in the S6 50m freestyle, won by Ukrainian Yelyzaveta Mereshko.
Both Britons have restricted growth and it was Simmonds' performances at London 2012 that encouraged Robinson, now 15, to begin competing.
Tai took bronze in the women's S10 100m backstroke, four years after she was selected as a torchbearer at the London Games.
Tai, who was born with a club foot, finished in one minute 9.39 seconds as New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe won gold.
Paralympic veteran Sascha Kindred was sixth in the men's S5 50m freestyle and Andrew Mullen finished fourth in the men's S5 50m butterfly.
Just 24 hours after India won their first Paralympic gold medal since 2004, local government officials celebrated the achievement by handing out cash prizes.
Men's T42 high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Varun Singh Bhati won gold and bronze respectively and received approximately £225,000 from the Tamil Nadu government.
India, the world's second most populous nation, has the worst Olympic record in terms of medals per head and they won just one silver and one bronze in Brazil.
Therefore, the achievements of Thangavelu and Bhati have been widely celebrated.
Elsewhere, Slovakia's Darko Duric entertained the crowd in the aquatics centre after he forgot to take the headphones off the top of his cap before his 50m butterfly S5 race.
Also in the pool, Ukrainian Maksym Krypak broke the world record in the men's S10 100m backstroke with a time of 57.24 seconds.

Three men - Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, from Rotherham, and Chris Huxtable, 34, from Swansea - have been missing since 23 February.
The body found on Wednesday has not been identified, but contractors have paused work so specialists can enter the site to recover the remains.
Thames Valley Police said the families of the three men have been informed.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, was previously recovered from the site.
The building was due for demolition when it partially collapsed. The remaining section was brought down using explosives last month.
Searches were halted in May when contractors reached a 50m (164ft) exclusion zone, beyond which it was considered too dangerous to continue.
The families of the three missing men had opposed plans to use explosives for the demolition.

But few of those tales have been more remarkable than that of Brighton & Hove Albion, whose promotion to the top flight was confirmed with victory over Wigan on Monday.
BBC Sport speaks to pundits, players and manager Chris Hughton about the Premier League newcomers who, just 20 years ago, were battling to stay in the Football League.
It took until the very last day of the 1996-97 season before Brighton could breathe easy, as a 1-1 draw with Hereford secured their league status.
Despite the result, Brighton's former owners went ahead with the sale of their old Goldstone Ground, leaving the club to share Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium for two seasons.
The club then moved back to Brighton, playing at the Withdean Stadium - a site not originally built for football - before finally switching to their current Amex Stadium home in 2011 under the ownership of Tony Bloom.
"What happened on Monday is just the sensational fulfilment of so many people's dreams," said BBC pundit Mark Clemmit.
"The one name I keep thinking about is Dick Knight, who sort of galvanised everybody in 1997, because don't forget not only did they nearly go out of the league, but they lost their stadium then as well.
"The owners at the time kind of pulled it from under the club, and have never ever been forgiven by the supporters.
"It was Dick Knight who picked it up by the bootstraps, plus several others that accompanied him - but he was the majority shareholder."
Brighton had looked destined to complete their journey from bottom to top 12 months ago, but a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on the final day of the regular season meant they missed out on goal difference.
Further disappointment was to follow, as their hopes of reaching the Premier League were dashed with a 3-1 aggregate loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off semi-finals.
It was not an unfamiliar feeling for Seagulls fans, who had suffered defeat at the same stage in both 2013 and 2014.
"I'm incredibly proud of the way they've bounced back - but there are no surprises," Hughton, 58, told BBC Sussex. "We've got a group of lads that are capable of doing it, but being capable of doing it and doing it are two different things.
"They've been good all season. They've bounced back, they've shown a really good determination and a real desire to want to win as many games as possible."
Brighton captain Bruno added: "It's been five years now for me and it's been hard because we were really close to getting promoted for three seasons.
"Last season was tough for us and we were really close - but this season we've been outstanding."
Hughton is no stranger to the Premier League, having guided Newcastle to Championship promotion in 2010, then led Norwich to an 11th-place finish in the top flight in the 2012-13 season.
The former Republic of Ireland defender has turned Brighton into one of the defensively strongest sides in the Championship since taking over in December 2014, keeping 47 clean sheets in 111 league games in charge.
"When you look at where Chris has been, he's done really well everywhere he's gone," said former Republic team-mate pundit Mark Lawrenson, now a BBC pundit.
"Because he's quiet, people sort of assume that he's a nice bloke and that people can ride roughshod over him - but you can't.
"There's a real steely determination in there and I think as he's gone from job to job he's embraced the way football's changed."
Hughton's success comes despite only taking his first managerial role in 2009, when he replaced Alan Shearer as Newcastle boss.
"I think a lot of people, for a long time, had him marked down as an assistant or a coach," added Clemmit.
"He's already won one title with Newcastle United, he's got another team promoted, and then in his other two full seasons in the Championship he took Birmingham to the play-offs and he took Brighton to the play-offs.
"Even during the celebrations yesterday, you could see he was containing it. He was modest enough not to get involved in the players' celebrations, one eye on getting the title over the line.
"There'd be some justice as well in that, wouldn't there? Norwich, one of the teams that dismissed him, that didn't see the merits of letting him have a proper long-term go, is where he could secure the title on Friday."
The bond Hughton has helped to create at Brighton this year has been tested by adversity off the field.
In November, French winger Anthony Knockaert's father died, prompting at least 10 of his team-mates and Hughton to travel to France to offer support at the funeral.
The 25-year-old has responded in sterling fashion on the field, contributing 15 goals on his way to being crowned Championship Player of the Year.
"It has been the best thing I have seen in football, to come all the way from England to the funeral," he said in December.
"It means a lot for me and my family and I will never forget it."
Brighton have also dealt with the absence of defender Connor Goldson, who had heart surgery after routine cardiac screening discovered a defect in December.
"Obviously there have been things the whole season that have brought us even closer together, but we're a close group anyway no matter what happens," the 24-year-old told BBC Sussex.
"That's why we're always here for each other. Obviously things happen in life, and what happened with Anthony's dad was a sad moment for him.
"With me this year, obviously I wasn't needed, but we all pulled together, we're all a team.
"We're all a team of friends and that's what gets us to where we are."
While securing the Championship title with victory at Carrow Road on Friday is the immediate aim, Hughton and Bloom can now start preparing for life in the top tier.
While some teams might look to splash the cash in pursuit of Premier League survival, Hughton appears to favour a more cautious approach.
"The only way to do it is to recruit sensibly, to not put the club in a position where you're going well above your means," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"There is a huge gap between what you need to pay for players in the Championship and the fees that are demanded for Premier League players.
"What we've got to do is to try to make sure that we get that balance right."
Now, only four months from starting their Premier League campaign, 20 years on from being on the brink of disaster, where do the club go from here?
"The great thing for them is that because of the new training ground, and because of the actual ground, they are ready and set up for the Premier League," said Lawrenson, a former Brighton player.
"So if they can just survive, in inverted commas, that first season in the Premier League, I do think they're a club that will push on from there." | Who's better on Instagram than Nasa, Madonna, Banksy and Beyonce?

Holly Smith, 30, from Gorleston near Great Yarmouth, collected coupons to donate the shopping trip items to a charity.
She and her husband filled six trolleys with 429 items at Tesco in Lowestoft.
Among the items she purchased with coupons were 200 packets of sausages.
Mrs Smith, who has Asperger's Syndrome and a debilitating illness, collected the coupons over a five week period as part of a fundraising effort for Norfolk charity The Benjamin Foundation.
"The checkout process with coupons is slow and we were expecting it to take about five hours, but it took six and a half hours in total - it went fantastic," she said.
"People with Asperger's tend to focus on certain things and for me that's extreme couponing, freebies and bargain hunting."
The couple were give their own dedicated till at the store and the manager made sure all the products they had coupons for were in stock.

A hearing on Tuesday will decide what punishment the club will receive over crowd trouble after a Greek Cup semi-final first leg defeat by AEK Athens.
The Piraeus club are six points clear of PAOK with one match left, but they could still get a six-point deduction.

Netherlands international Cillessen, 27, has signed a five-year deal with the Spanish champions, who could pay another £1.7m in variables.

Cillessen's move was confirmed hours before Chile international Bravo, 33, joined Pep Guardiola at City for an initial £15.4m.
Bravo made 70 La Liga appearances in two seasons for Barcelona but never featured for them in the Champions League, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen their first choice in cup competitions.

Following the publication of the conversation in the Coventry Telegraph, which came days after he contributed to a racism debate at a full council meeting, Labour councillor and Coventry Council leader George Duggins called on Mr Williams to resign.
The Conservative Party had planned to meet to discuss disciplinary action before he resigned.
Mr Williams wrote to the party to apologise, but has since defended his comments.
"What I said was in a private conversation with another member of the Conservatives who I thought was a friend, and when you're talking sometimes with friends late at night you do say things in a different sort of way," he told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
"I hope that any resident, any member of staff at the council, or anyone I've met would say, having known me for more than five minutes, that I'm not anything like a racialist or anything like that.
"I've only ever treated people with respect."
Mr Williams said he would continue to represent his constituents as an independent councillor until the next election, which will take place in 2020.
"I'm still going to be working as hard as I can for those residents, because there's still a lot to do," he said.
A council spokesman said Mr Williams is able to continue as an elected member.
Attorney General Thelma Aldana has asked for Samuel "Sammy" Morales and Jose Manuel Morales to be detained ahead of a trial.
It is a blow for President Jimmy Morales, who pledged to clean up politics during his 2015 campaign.
The former comedian said his support for his family was "100%", but so was his respect for the law.
His official Twitter profile said: "The rule of law must prevail above all things."
Samuel, the president's older brother, and Jose Manuel, his son, are accused of fraud. The exact amount involved is unclear, but figures range from $12,000 (£9,700; €11,200) to $26,000.
Ms Aldana said so far it had been determined that neither Sammy nor Jose Manuel had made any money from the transactions.
Another eight people have been detained in connection with the allegations.
Sammy said he was not concerned by the proceedings as he had not "committed any crime", while Jose Manuel voluntarily handed himself over to the authorities.
His father, President Morales, was elected on a wave of public anger over a corruption scandal that led to the arrest and trial of his predecessor, retired General Otto Perez.
Murray, who moved from Portadown in January, said that he had come to a "mutual agreement" with the club to be released from his contract.
"I haven't been able to play the part I wish I had," said the 24-year-old striker on Twitter.
"Injuries and not enough playing time have made me make this decision with the club agreeing."
Murray added that he wished everyone at Cliftonville "the best and hope to see them back at the top soon".
A club statement said that following a meeting with the player on Wednesday evening, "Cliftonville FC can confirm that Darren Murray is no longer a Cliftonville player".
The striker moved from Portadown to the Reds on a three-and-a-half year deal with Cliftonville after being linked with the North Belfast club from some time.
Murray, a boyhood fan of the Solitude club, scored five goals in his 16 Cliftonville appearances.
His final goal for the club came in the win over Ballinamallard last month.

The four groups said Donald Trump's statements were "so lacking in moral leadership and empathy" that they had no choice but to cancel the call.
They condemned Mr Trump for blaming "many sides" for the violence on 11 August, which left one woman dead.
The White House noted the call was an Obama administration practice.
"The Trump Administration looks forward to creating its own traditions to observe the High Holidays and other important days in the Jewish faith," an unnamed White House official said in a statement to the BBC.
The traditional call was held each year to mark the arrival of the Jewish autumn holidays, which include Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.
White supremacists, neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan were among the far-right demonstrators who took part in a torch-lit rally - shouting racist and anti-Semitic slogans - in Charlottesville.
The march had been organised to protest against the proposed removal of a statue of General Robert E Lee, who commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces during the American Civil War.
But it descended into violence after the rally's supporters were confronted by anti-racism groups. A car driven by a man linked to white supremacists later ploughed through a crowd of counter-protesters and killed a woman, 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
In a statement, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Rabbinical Assembly, the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism denounced the president for repeatedly saying anti-racism protesters shared the blame for the violence.
"The President's words have given succor to those who advocate anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia," the coalition said.
"Responsibility for the violence that occurred in Charlottesville, including the death of Heather Heyer, does not lie with many sides but with one side: the Nazis, alt-right and white supremacists who brought their hate to a peaceful community. They must be roundly condemned at all levels."
Mr Trump has insisted he has done enough to condemn hate and bigotry.
The four groups of rabbis are said to represent much of the US Jewish community.
However, the organisation of Orthodox rabbis, the Rabbinical Council of America, did not sign the statement.
It has previously condemned "any suggestion of moral equivalency between the White Supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville and those who stood up to their repugnant messages and actions".
In recent years, the US president has spoken by phone to hundreds of rabbis to bring holiday greetings ahead of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Reports say the conversations mostly steer clear of politics.
Rabbi Steve Fox, executive director of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, told Politico that former President Barack Obama participated in each year of his administration.
The majority of Jewish-American voters opposed Mr Trump in the 2016 US election, with the exception of Orthodox Jews who have been more supportive.
Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka, converted to Orthodox Judaism after marrying Jared Kushner, who has since become a senior adviser to the president.
Last week, a rabbi in New York who oversaw Ms Trump's conversion penned a letter to his congregation slamming the White House response to violence in Charlottesville.
"While we avoid politics, we are deeply troubled by the moral equivalency and equivocation President Trump has offered in his response to this act of violence," wrote Rabbi Emeritus Haskel Lookstein in a letter first reported by New York Magazine.
He was acquitted by a jury following a seven-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
The 46-year-old was also found not guilty of a second charge under the Companies Act.
The jury of eight men and seven women took just two hours of deliberations to return not guilty verdicts on both charges.
Following the verdict, the SFA said it would consider pursuing Mr Whyte over a £200,000 fine for bringing the game into disrepute.
The penalty was imposed by the governing body in 2012, but the money was never paid.
Mr Whyte took over Sir David Murray's majority shareholding for £1 in May 2011, while agreeing to take on obligations, which included paying an £18m bank debt and £5m for players.
He was charged with using the club's own money for the deal while claiming the funds were his.
After the verdict, judge Lady Stacey told Mr Whyte: "You have been acquitted and are free to leave the dock."
He thanked the judge and jury before leaving the courtroom.
Questioned by reporters as he left the building, he said: "I'm just delighted with the outcome."
During the trial, jurors at the High Court of Glasgow were told how Mr Whyte struck a £1 deal to purchase Sir David Murray's controlling stake at Ibrox.
As well as the £18m bank debt and money for players, Whyte had agreed to provide £2.8m to settle a "small tax case" bill, £1.7m for stadium repairs, and £5m in working capital.
Prosecutors had alleged that Whyte pretended to Sir David, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments.
The jury were told Mr Whyte had only £4m available from two sources at the time, but took out a £24m loan from Ticketus against three years of future Rangers season ticket sales, before he owned the club.
The second charge under the Companies Act centred on the £18m payment between Mr Whyte's Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a bank debt.
Mr Whyte had denied both the charges against him.
His defence QC, Donald Findlay, had earlier told the jury that Mr Whyte had been made to look like a "pantomime villain".
He had said the Murray team had been "more focused" on securing a sale than on checking out the source of the money.
Mr Findlay said his client had met the conditions of the sale by paying the debt and investing in the club.
He blamed Sir David's advisers, saying they "let him down very badly" in the deal and did not ask where the takeover money was coming from.
Summing up the defence case, Mr Findlay said: "They were not interested in where the money came from and we know this absolutely categorically."
The defence QC had also pointed out that there had been "no loss" to Sir David Murray in the buyout.
Leslie Binns, 42, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, turned around to save Sunita Hazra, an Indian woman, who was scaling the summit ahead of him.
He said he felt "immensely proud" to have saved a life but wished he could have also helped save another climber, who died on the descent.
Mr Binns was blinded in his left eye after an explosion in Afghanistan.
He was in the Army for 13 years, serving in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan and was blown up four times. He has been awarded two medals, including the Queen's Commendation for Bravery for finding improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan in 2009.
Ms Hazra, who is 32 and lives near Kolkata in India, left hospital on Wednesday.
Her brother Kingshuk Chatterjee told the BBC the family "cannot express our gratitude" to Mr Binns for saving her.
"He's the reason why she is still alive now," he said. "He is a very brave man."
Mr Binns, who now works in private security in oil fields in Iraq, said the incident happened when he was on a climb in the early hours of 21 May.
He was approaching an area nicknamed "The Balcony" - where climbing teams store spare oxygen bottles - when he noticed a "commotion" ahead of him.
"I noticed someone sliding down the fixed climbing lines towards me.
"All I could hear were the screams of terror as the person gained momentum. I braced myself to try and stop whoever it was, and managed to do so.
"At this time I didn't know that this was Sunita Hazra. I helped her upright and looked at her oxygen regulator. It was registering empty."
Mr Binns helped Ms Hazra recover and she attempted to continue her descent by herself, but collapsed after about 20 metres.
"It was at this point I decided to cancel my summit bid to help Sunita," Mr Binns said. He was about another 12 hours away from making the final ascent to the top.
"I climbed down to her and called my Sherpa. I told him we are not going up and we would give Sunita my spare oxygen bottle and take her down."
He says the descent was a perilous and difficult one, and on the way the three climbers found another man who was also struggling to descend, bringing him along with them.
Mr Binns said Ms Hazra and the other climber "kept collapsing", adding: "I fell into waist-deep crevasses no less than five times, which was very tiring, and we were also crossing blue ice which was very dangerous as we kept slipping."
Eventually he and Ms Hazra managed to reach his camp, but due to exhaustion and difficult weather conditions they were unable to bring the other climber along.
"I gave Sunita my sleeping bag in my tent. We then tried our best to get her warm by patting and rubbing her. She was suffering from hypothermia and her right hand was badly frost-bitten.
"I then remembered we had a flask of ginger tea. I used this to try and re-warm Sunita's hand. I dried it off and told her to keep it in her fleece pocket which would keep it warm."
Mr Binns says that while in his tent he heard the other climber's voice in the distance "but I was too exhausted to go back out - I literally collapsed and fell asleep".
In the morning, Mr Binns learned the other climber had been found and taken to his team. Ms Hazra's Sherpa came to collect her and help her to continue down the mountain.
But when Mr Binns continued with his own descent that next day, he came across the body of the other climber, who had died during his journey downwards.
Mr Binns believes Sherpas took the body down from the mountain, and is unsure as to how the climber eventually died.
Mr Binns said: "I truly regret not being able to do anything more for him. But I had nothing left in me that night and I tried my level best to rescue him, but he could not be moved. No summit is worth a life.
"I am immensely proud that I helped Sunita. I just wish I could have done more."
Mr Binns, who has climbed "all the major peaks in the UK", is now in Kathmandu and due to return to the UK to see his fiancee and daughter on 6 June.
"I wish Sunita and her family all the best and hope she makes a full recovery," he said.
BBC iWonder: The ups and downs of climbing Everest
Home Secretary Theresa May had said the technique was being misused so often that it was damaging relations between the public and police.
Police will now record every outcome resulting from stop and search.
There will also be more limits on using the controversial "Section 60" stops.
Officers will need higher authorisation than at present to deploy Section 60 powers, under which someone may be stopped without grounds for suspicion in a situation where serious violence is anticipated.
Police will also soon allow public observers to watch stop and search in operation.
Next year, police will start mapping where the practice is used so people can see if one area is targeted more than others, and the public will be entitled to know why this is the case.
The changes are being brought in after Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary found that 27% of stop and searches did not satisfy the requirement that there be "reasonable grounds for suspicion", meaning more than 250,000 of the one million searches conducted last year could have been illegal.
The adoption of the Best Use of Stop and Search code comes as the Metropolitan Police said it used Section 60 powers after violent incidents at the Notting Hill Carnival in London on Monday.
Ken Hinds, a member of the London borough of Haringey's stop and search monitoring group, does not believe the new code will be enough to change attitudes in some areas.
Mr Hinds says none of the 125 stop and searches he has been subjected to in the last 30 years has resulted in police finding he has done anything illegal.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "After 40 years of abuse of stop and search, we now refer to it as stop and scarred in our community. It has alienated whole swathes."
Last year, an Equality and Human Rights Commission report said black and Asian people were still far more likely than white people to be stopped and searched by police.
Black people were six times as likely to be stopped overall - but this was as high as 29 times in some areas.
A black police inspector, Nick Glynn of the Leicestershire force, has already been chosen to lead reform of the way stop-and-search powers are used nationally.
He said he had been stopped and searched himself about 30 times while off duty by officers from other forces.
Metropolitan Police Commander Adrian Hanstock said the new code supports the force's "ongoing drive to make stop and search more intelligence-led and effective".
He added: "The Met has made significant improvements to stop and search over the last two years to not only reduce the total number of people we search, but also to ensure that our officers focus on those areas and types of crime that the public are most concerned about.
"Our work with communities and monitoring groups is helping to ensure we are more transparent than ever in how stop and search helps to reduce crime and keep people safe."
The Met, the UK's largest force, says 251,161 people were subject to stop and search in the 12 months to July 2014, and 47,141 arrests made.
It said 115,270 of those stopped were white, 72,016 were black and 34,267 were Asian, with men accounting for 94% of all searches.
Chief Constable Alex Marshall, who heads the College of Policing, told Today that stop and search was an important power to protect communities and the changes were intended to address its "difficult history".
He said people would support its use if searches well targeted and carried out with respect.
Scotland Yard said Section 60 and Section 60AA orders were used under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act at this years's Notting Hill Carnival.
Section 60AA gives police powers to order the removal of disguises in places where Section 60 is in use.
The Met said the measures were taken "in response to incidents of violence, and intelligence received, which have taken place within a short period of time".
Three men were stabbed and two police officers were injured in a series of violent clashes at the carnival on Monday evening.
Five people were taken ill at Kendal Calling, in Cumbria, on Friday morning.
The man, who was found in a critical condition, later died, while a woman, 29, remains in a critical but stable condition, Cumbria Police said. Three men are "serious but stable".
A man, 20, has been held on suspicion of possession with intent to supply, the force said.
The rebel group is led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a veteran of Afghan conflicts in recent decades and one of the country's most notorious militants.
There are hopes the deal will lead to a peace agreement with the Hezb-e-Islami.
The group has been linked to al-Qaeda and is accused of widespread civil rights abuses. Mr Hekmatyar has been designated a terrorist by the US.
Hezb-e-Islami has played a minor role in the Taliban insurgency in recent years and so the deal is not expected to improve security in the country.
Mohammad Khan, deputy to the Afghan government Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, hailed the draft agreement as a positive step.
"We are optimistic about this agreement and we strongly support it," he told reporters in Kabul.
But he added: "This doesn't mean it's finalised."
Sayed Zafar Hashemi, deputy spokesman for President Asraf Ghani, said the agreement was at the "endorsement and verification phases" but had not yet been signed by the president.
Under the terms of the deal, the government would grant members of Hezb-e-Islami amnesty, and lobby the UN to have the group removed from a blacklist.
The group would not join the government but would be recognised as an official political party.
Human rights groups have criticised the move towards a deal with Mr Hekmatyar, who was briefly prime minister of Afghanistan in the early 1990s.
Serena Hickey, 42, from Milton Keynes, was strangled to death at the hotel in Kempston, Bedford, on 13 September.
Her partner Daren Ellis' body was later found on a railway line in Warwickshire.
Ms Hickey's brother, Zane Hopkins, has set up a foundation to support domestic violence victims and perpetrators.
"I firmly believe that if you get to the root of a problem, then you eradicate the problem," he told BBC Look East.
"This in no way means we endorse their actions, but hope to prevent further acts of violence by helping to reform and re-educate those guilty of domestic violence."
Mr Hopkins said he could not believe the news when he was first told about his sister's death.
"I kept thinking, they've got the wrong person, something's wrong. It can't be true.
"She was a really strong person, strong minded, strong bodied - she went to the gym a lot - so this is why it [her death] just doesn't make sense," he said.
"If my sister could be suffering, and suffering in silence as such a strong person, then there's got to be countless amounts of others suffering in silence too."
"We must unite to make sure this tragedy is never allowed to happen again," he wrote on the Serena Hickey Foundation Facebook page.
A fundraising campaign has been launched to register the foundation as an official charity, and open up a drop-in support centre.
"This will provide the best care, compassion and support for all sufferers of this awful atrocity," Mr Hopkins wrote.
There have been 68 recorded cases of wild poliovirus so far in 2014. Last year there were 417 cases.
Contrast that with the one million children under five who die from pneumonia each year or the 750,000 who die from diarrhoeal disease.
Like polio, most of those deaths are vaccine-preventable.
The only previous threat to have been accorded the same status by the WHO was the H1N1 swine flu pandemic in 2009.
The reason for the WHO declaration is the risk that the goal of polio eradication may be not be achieved.
Billions of dollars are spent each year on polio immunisation and the number of cases has plummeted since the late 1980s.
There have been important milestones: it is more than three years since the last polio case in India.
While the wild poliovirus continues to circulate, mass immunisations must continue in every country in the world.
If the disease was wiped out - like smallpox in the 1970s - then the money spent on polio immunisation could eventually be targeted elsewhere.
The declaration of a "public health emergency of international concern" is a measure of the potential threat to the eradication efforts.
The WHO wants all residents and long-term visitors to Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria to have been recently immunised and carry a certificate of vaccination.
All three countries have spread the virus across their borders this year during what is usually a low transmission season.
The virus has a higher risk of transmission during May and June.
There are several other countries infected with wild poliovirus which have not exported the disease - Nigeria, Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Iraq and Somalia.
The virus - which is shed in faeces - can spread rapidly from just one infected individual.
Most people who carry the virus show no symptoms, making it a very difficult disease to wipe out.
That is why it is so important that polio immunisation levels are maintained while the virus continues to circulate.
Polio eradication would be a huge achievement. A target date of 2018 has been set - but previous deadlines have come and gone.
The next six months may show whether that goal really is a realistic target.
Glenridding Beck, in the Lake District, burst its banks three times during storms in December 2015.
More than 14,000 tonnes of gravel was removed from the river in a bid to reduce the risk of further flooding.
The material has been stored on Jenkin's Field, next to Ullswater, and the Environment Agency will start taking it away Monday.
Andy Brown, from the agency, said: "We would like to apologise to the community and visitors to Glenridding for the noise and increased traffic which will be caused by the work to remove the gravel from Jenkin's Field.
"We are doing everything possible to minimise the disruption and complete the clearance as prompt and efficiently as possible to minimise the impact."
His club-mate Ross Ford replaces Fraser Brown at hooker.
Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour and Ryan Wilson are named despite suffering head knocks in the heavy loss to England.
Finn Russell and Huw Jones are also in the starting XV, having been injury doubts from last weekend.
Richie Gray had been named in the Scotland starting line-up on Thursday but has now been deemed not fit enough for head coach Vern Cotter's last match in charge as Scotland seek a third home win of the tournament.
Gilchrist was not in the original list of substitutes and comes in to the team ahead of Tim Swinson, who remains on the bench.
The Scots, who beat Ireland and Wales, have not managed three Six Nations victories since 2006.
Italy are without a win in the competition since their 2015 visit to Edinburgh.
Brown was cleared to play after he was cited for the tackle on Elliot Daly that led to a second-minute yellow card in the record 61-21 defeat at Twickenham.
However, he drops to the bench for the first time in this season's tournament, with Ford winning his 107th cap from the start.
The inclusion of Hogg, Seymour and Wilson remains subject to the Glasgow trio completing the progressive head injury protocol.
Gloucester centre Matt Scott is called up to the replacements following injury to Mark Bennett, with regular captain Greig Laidlaw, Duncan Taylor, Alasdair Dickinson, WP Nel, Josh Strauss and John Hardie also on the sidelines.
Cotter, who has been with Scotland for three years, will be replaced by Glasgow Warriors' Gregor Townsend in the summer, with the 55-year-old New Zealander moving on to take over at French Top 14 club Montpellier.
"Matches between Scotland and Italy have always been tough affairs," said Cotter. "We have a lot of respect for them and feel they have been improving throughout the competition.
"They showed in this campaign they can be innovative, so preparation has been key to ensuring we put in a good performance. We have to be ready for anything."
Scotland: Hogg; Seymour, Jones, Dunbar, Visser; Russell, Price; Reid, Ford, Fagerson, Gilchrist, J Gray, Barclay (capt), Watson, Wilson.
Replacements: Brown, Berghan, Du Preez, Weir, Dell, Swinson, Pyrgos, Scott.
Dale Gorman and Paul Smyth had shots blocked before Rauno Sappinen put the hosts in front on 50 minutes.
Sheffield United teenager David Parkhouse levelled with a composed back-post finish on his debut.
NI captain Donnelly slotted home the spot-kick in the fourth minute of added time after a foul on Parkhouse.
It was the perfect start to the campaign as U21 clinched a deserved Group Two success in the first game in charge for manager Ian Baraclough.
Northern Ireland's Under-21s have never progressed to a European Championship finals and finished last in their previous qualifying group after picking up only two points from 10 matches.
Baraclough's Under-21 side will also face Albania, Iceland, Slovakia and Spain in their group.
Adams Oshiomhole said US officials informed President Muhammadu Buhari of the alleged theft during his visit to Washington last month.
Mr Buhari took office in May, ending the rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The PDP has repeatedly denied allegations of widespread corruption during its 16-year rule.
Mr Oshiomhole, who accompanied Mr Buhari to Washington, did not name the minister who allegedly stole the money.
During his visit to the US, Mr Buhari said he had asked the US to help recover $150bn "stolen in the past decade and held in foreign bank accounts".
US officials described the theft during the PDP's rule as "earth-quaking", Mr Oshiomhole, the Edo State governor, told journalists in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
The PDP said Mr Buhari's visit to Washington was a failure, in particular for failing to obtain "any sort of tangible gain for the fight against terrorism".
Mr Buhari, a former military ruler, was invited to Washington shortly after becoming the first opposition candidate to win a national election in March.
He succeeded President Goodluck Jonathan.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer, but the majority of its citizens live in poverty. Its oil sector has often been hit by allegations of corruption.
Athletes in 32 disciplines will compete across 12 meetings as they aim to qualify for one of two finals.
Event winners at the finals - which will be held in Zurich and Brussels - will be crowned the overall champion, winning a prize of $50,000 (£39,650).
Previously, it was decided by accumulative points over 14 meets.
The Diamond League, which has meetings in four different continents across the world, has used the same format since it was launched in 2010.
The overall purse for the Diamond League remains at $8m (£6.3m) - the same figure as 2016.
The two finals offer a prize pool of $3.2m (£2.5m), a distribution which governing body the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) says has been "refocused" from last year's pot.
"After seven seasons which have established the IAAF Diamond League as our premier circuit it is important to assess its impact and build for the future," IAAF president and the league's chairman Lord Coe said.
"These decisions are the first step to growing the attractiveness of the series."

Internet providers will soon be required to record which services their customers' devices connect to - including websites and messaging apps.
The Home Office says it will help combat terrorism, but critics have described it as a "snoopers' charter".
Critics of the law have said hackers could get access to the records.
"It only takes one bad actor to go in there and get the entire database," said James Blessing, chairman of the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa), which represents BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and others.
"You can try every conceivable thing in the entire world to [protect it] but somebody will still outsmart you.
"Mistakes will happen. It's a question of when. Hopefully it's in tens or maybe a hundred years. But it might be next week."
The Investigatory Powers Bill was approved by the House of Lords on 19 November and is due to become law before the end of 2016.
Now, several virtual private network (VPN) operators have seized on its introduction to promote their offerings.
VPNs digitally scramble a user's internet traffic and send it to one of their own servers before passing it on to a site or app in a form they can make sense of. A similar process happens in reverse, helping mask the person's online activity.
As a result, instead of ISPs having a log of everywhere a customer has visited, the only thing they can provide to the authorities is the fact that a subscriber used a VPN.
"We saw a boom in Australia last year correlated to when its data retention law went into effect," Jodi Myers, a spokeswoman for NordVPN told the BBC.
"And we are already seeing an increase in inquiries from the UK."
Ms Myers said her firm had just begun offering UK-based customers extra security measures - including encrypting their data twice and sending it via two servers - to address any concerns that its standard measures were not sufficient.
"Our biggest advantage is we have a zero log policy," she added.
"Our headquarters are in Panama, which doesn't have data retention laws, so it allows us to do this.
"And even in the worst-case scenario that our servers are confiscated, there would be nothing on them because of the way they are configured."
Another VPN provider said the UK government would find it difficult to prevent the use of such workarounds.
"The legislation specifically mentions connection service providers and not just ISPs, and the assumption is that VPNs based in the UK will have to give up their logs under this law," said Caleb Chen, a spokesman for Private Internet Access.
"But as a US-based company, my legal team has advised me that we would not be under any obligation to do so.
"And even if the government were to try to take it a step further and say no UK citizen could use a VPN that was not compliant with the law, those services would still be available."
He added that the widespread use of VPNs by businesses to provide staff with remote access to their email and other work-related files would also make it difficult to restrict the technology's use.
One of the UK's smaller internet providers, Andrews & Arnold, is looking into other ways to help its users circumvent the law.
"Customers can install a Tor browser, which encrypts traffic to one of thousands of different internet connections throughout the world hiding what they are doing," said managing director Adrian Kennard.
"We are also working with a company called Brass Horn, which is planning to sell Tor-only internet access.
"In addition, we may base some of our own services outside the UK to reduce the amount of information that is logged and recorded. One possible place that we might put equipment is Iceland."
A spokeswoman for the Home Office declined to discuss ways it might tackle such efforts.
"The Investigatory Powers Bill provides law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies with the powers they need to protect the UK and its citizens from terrorists and serious criminals, subject to strict safeguards and world-leading oversight," she said.
"Terrorists and serious criminals will always seek to avoid detection.
"To ensure they do not succeed, we do not comment publicly on the methods or capabilities available to the security and intelligence agencies."
It might be useful to a few applications, he complained, but graphene will never be revolutionary: the technology is too limited - it is interesting but not a game changer.
We were talking a few months after the Chancellor George Osborne had allocated £50m to graphene research.
The year before, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of Manchester University had won the Nobel Prize for Physics for their pioneering work on the "miracle material" and the funding was a vote of faith in an exciting new area of research. Another £11m followed just after Christmas.
Graphene is the name given to a novel substance composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, extracted from graphite, with astonishing properties: the stuff is stronger than diamond, more conductive than copper and more flexible than rubber.
However amazing, more than £60m is a lot of money to pump into one particular area of science in an age of austerity and researchers in other subjects are always bound to quibble, at the very least.
In the clamour for funding, resentment is not unusual, particularly if the money appears to be aimed at one specific project rather than a whole field of fundamental research which may deliver far more in the long run.
The objection is to what could be called the Concorde syndrome: public money being hosed at a single project, in that case a supersonic passenger plane, admired for its beauty but limited in its possible uses.
But graphene is different and has caught the eye of the British government - and other governments and companies - precisely because its potential benefits reach into an extraordinary range of areas.
Even if it fails to deliver all that is promised for it in, say, electronics, it might still prove incredibly useful in others such as energy or medicine.
In a paper in Nature last year, Professor Novoselov and his colleagues outlined a "road map" for possible applications of graphene, exploring whether it could become "the next disruptive technology, replacing some of the currently used materials and leading to new markets?"
They acknowledge that many of the material's most exciting characteristics are only achieved with the highest-grade graphene and that industrial-scale techniques for making it have yet to be confirmed.
Still, they argue that a long list of applications is plausible.
Flexible electronic screens may emerge soonest, with the most appealing idea being "e-paper". A working prototype is expected by 2015, according to the Nature study, though the costs are still far too high for any marketable product at the moment.
The authors acknowledge that the established role of silicon will mean that graphene, which is not a semi-conductor, might not play a part in processors till after 2021.
The science of materials
How sticky tape trick led to Nobel Prize
However, they say graphene is so thin that a "paint" could act as a rust protector or an "electronic ink" or be added to advanced composite materials to make them impermeable or conductive or stronger.
It could be used to enhance solar cells and to improve the working life of batteries, though a lot of technological barriers still remain.
As a material highly sensitive to the environment, graphene could act as a sensor with a single device measuring strain, gas, magnetism or pressure.
And its purity and large surface area make it suitable for medical uses too: from aiding drug delivery to building new tissue for regenerative medicine. However, the authors admit that the sheer number of hurdles mean this will not happen before 2030.
They recognize that "established benchmark materials will only be replaced if the properties of graphene, however appealing, can be translated into applications that are sufficiently competitive to justify the cost and disruption of changing…"
In other words, the price and hassle of switching to graphene need to make sense financially.
So, the paper argues, graphene's "full potential will only be realized in novel applications, which are designed specifically with this material in mind…"
What this means is that graphene is something of a gamble: to really make sense, people will have to dream up inventions for it.
The bottom line is that graphene is too good to be ignored and - in some applications - may yet prove to be too good to be true.
But a look at the statistics for patents - a key indicator of commercial intent - reveals how many countries and companies are prepared to throw the graphene dice.
From a standing start with the Manchester work in 2004, there are now more than 7,000 patents on graphene, with the largest number - more than 2000 - held by China. Samsung alone holds more than 400.
Massive investments on this scale can turn sour - plenty of promising technologies do flop.
But the greater the level of finance, energy and sheer brainpower devoted to graphene globally, the greater are the chances of exploiting it successfully.
The miracle material will soak up a lot of money but, taking a long view, it's unlikely that much will be wasted.
Mr Hammond told MPs that no leak had occurred and said there were no safety implications for staff working on the site, or risks to the environment.
But, as a result, HMS Vanguard is to be refuelled with a new nuclear core at a cost of £120m.
The problem was discovered in 2012.
Labour criticised the government for not announcing the information earlier, calling it a matter of "national importance".
Although the news is only being made public now, the Ministry of Defence says the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the defence nuclear inspectorate were kept informed.
Mr Hammond said the Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment ran at higher levels of intensity than those on Britain's fleet of nuclear submarines and was designed to pre-empt any similar problems with the reactors on board those vessels.
The defence secretary said: "These low levels of radioactivity are a normal product of a nuclear reaction that takes place within the fuel but they would not normally enter the cooling water.
"This water is contained within the sealed reactor circuit and I can reassure the House there has been no detectable radiation leak from that sealed circuit.
"Indeed, against the International Atomic Energy Agency's measurement scale for nuclear-related events this issue is classed Level 0, described as 'below scale - no safety significance'."
The refuelling of HMS Vanguard - the UK's oldest nuclear submarine - will take place during its next scheduled "deep maintenance period", due to last three and a half years from 2015.
Mr Hammond said: "This is the responsible option: replacing the core on a precautionary basis at the next opportunity, rather than waiting to see if the core needs to be replaced at a later date which would mean returning Vanguard for a period of unscheduled deep maintenance, potentially putting at risk the resilience of our ballistic missile submarine operations."
Mr Hammond said a decision on refuelling the next-oldest submarine, HMS Victorious, would not need to be taken until 2018.
New submarines for the Trident replacement programme, known as the Successor submarines, will not be affected by the problem, he added.
For Labour, shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said the government should have told the Commons earlier about the fault.
He added: "There must be public confidence in the government to be open and transparent on these matters.
"A fault, however small, that develops in a nuclear reactor is something that the British people and this House should have been told about. This is an issue of national security and national importance."
More than £7m will be invested in production facilities at the engine plant with a £700,000 grant from the Welsh government.
The 1.8 litre engines will be exported to Turkey to be built into a model based on Toyota's C-HR concept car.
There are currently about 540 employees at the Deeside factory, making 950 engines a day in 13 variants.
The new hybrid engine will be built alongside current petrol and hybrid petrol engines for the Auris model, which go to the company's factory at Burnaston, Derbyshire where the vehicle is produced.
Engine plant director Jim Crosbie said: "This announcement is a big vote of confidence in the high skills, quality and commitment of our workforce."
In 2015, Toyota became the world's top-selling carmaker for the fourth straight year, selling 10.15 million cars overall with 209,000 hybrid vehicles in Europe, up 17% on 2014.
Engines and components made at Deeside are exported across Europe, South America, South Africa and Japan.
Edwina Hart, Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, said: "I am delighted this very significant investment has been secured for Toyota's facility on Deeside.
"It will not only provide a platform for growth in what is an extremely competitive market but will help secure the long term sustainable future of the plant and safeguard skilled, well-paid jobs in the region."
The Toyota new engine line is the latest example of a Welsh plant winning investment because of the success of its existing set up.
It's good news for Toyota's workers on Deeside and good for the Welsh economy. With 540 employees spending their wages in the local economy and the value of the engines made a year, Toyota Deeside helps the Welsh economy and helps to lift statistics like GVA - the value of goods and services.
It's not just Toyota on Deeside that is feeling confident. While some parts of the economy are anxious about global slowdown and what the year will bring, automotive companies in Wales are busy on the whole.
Cars are not assembled in Wales but important parts are and companies like Magor Designs in Resolven design the machines to make parts that others assemble and then go to the carmakers. It's a complicated supply chain which, overall, injects £3.3bn into the Welsh economy.
The secret to success in this industry is to be ahead of the game - adapting quickly to make parts for the next generation of vehicles which tend to be cleaner and more efficient.
18,000 people work making car parts in Wales. Together they are paid around £500m a year. At each stage in a new vehicle's design the supply companies have to compete against other suppliers - sometimes in their own companies - across the UK and Europe.
Toyota Deeside does not buy parts from Welsh suppliers but it does buy services from other companies.
But all the way from the Toyotas and Fords to small parts makers, the way to succeed is the same; they have to continually improve what they do and adapt to demands from the car makers.
The equivalent of 533 million bottles were shipped from Scotland in the first six months of 2016.
But industry bosses have warned the "uncertainties" caused by Brexit will pose "challenges" for exporters.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said the 3.1% increase represented the first return to growth for three years.
However, the statistics also showed a small fall in the value of exports.
Sales of whisky around the globe amounted to £1.7bn between January and June, down by 1% on the same period in 2015.
While France and the USA remained the biggest market, the figures showed a surge in exports to India.
SWA chief executive David Frost said the figures suggested there had been a "strengthening in global consumer demand".
But he also highlighted "continued international uncertainty" as he urged the UK government to ensure a supportive tax and regulatory regime.
Mr Frost said: "The first half of 2016 was marked by an improving Scotch whisky export performance, suggesting a strengthening in global consumer demand compared to the last couple of years.
"The industry-wide emphasis on craftsmanship and provenance, backed by investment, means that Scotch exports are well-placed to grow in the future, appealing to consumers in both mature and emerging markets."
But he added: "It is clear, however, that the uncertainties of the Brexit vote will create challenges for exporters and we continue to encourage early clarity on the likely shape of the UK's future trading relationship with the EU and other countries.
"Given the continued international uncertainty, we also look to government to make every effort to put in place a competitive domestic tax and regulatory environment, supporting a key home-grown industry."
While the volume of whisky exported to other countries in the European Union increased by 5% to the equivalent of 208 million bottles in January to June 2016, the value of these fell by 1% to £518m.
Almost two fifths (39%) of Scotch whisky exports by volume went to the EU, while the US was still the largest market for whisky exports by value, with sales worth £357.4m in the period January to June, a rise of 9% from the first half of 2015.
But the largest volume of sales went to France, with exports increasing from the equivalent of 86.5 million bottles in the first six months of 2015 to the equivalent of 90.9 million bottles in the same period this year.
The equivalent of 41 million bottles were exported to India after a 41% increase in sales volumes.
Diageo, the dominant distilling company, recently took over the largest distiller in India. Having access to the United Spirits distribution network helps to explain the sale of 12m more bottles than last year.
Most of that was in bulk, for bottling in India, or blending with Indian whiskies, but there was also a rise by more than half in the amount of single malt whisky shipped to India, reaching more than 700,000 bottles.
Ten of the top 15 markets showed growth in the latest figures.
The Latin American market showed continued volatility, with Colombian sales up 22%, Chilean up 30% and Venezuelan by 74%. Yet in Colombia and Venezuela, because the mix of whiskies shifted to lower quality, the value fell. The total value for Latin America was down 11%, with volume up 5%.
Africa has shown promise in recent years, but that fell back 9% by volume. Sales to South Africa dominate sales to the continent, but the figures suggest increases of more than half in exports to Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and Uganda. Shipments to Angola, which has suffered the economic consequences of the oil price downturn, reduced by three-quarters.
These figures do not include UK sales, which account for roughly 7% of Scotch whisky production.
The 21-year-old Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has played seven games for the Scottish champions this season, including a Champions League group game against Barcelona.
"We've had to fight off competition from clubs in England and the SPFL," Saddlers boss Jon Whitney said.
Left-back Scott Laird has also extended his loan until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old spent the first half of the campaign on loan from Scunthorpe, scoring three goals in 22 games.

Pyongyang, which has threatened to fire missiles toward the US Pacific island territory of Guam, gave more details of its plans.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump intensified his rhetoric, saying North Korea should be "very, very nervous" if it does anything to the US.
The Dow Jones fell 0.9% to 21,844.01 and S&P 500 fell 1.5% to 2,438.21.
The Nasdaq lost 2.1% to 6,216.87.
Markets had been bracing for a correction after weeks of trading in record territory, as strong corporate earnings fuelled optimism.
The sell-off on Thursday in the US was widespread, with the financial and consumer sectors leading the share price declines.
Investors bought up safe-haven assets such as gold, helping the precious metal touch a two-month high, and the Japanese Yen rose.
But Thursday's decline fell short of the drops seen on 17 May, when political outcry mounted over Mr Trump's dismissal of FBI director James Comey, who was investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Richard C Marston, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of business, told the BBC: "If the North Korean situation worsens ... I would expect the stock market to react negatively.
"Corporate earnings can be easily overshadowed if there is a real threat of a conflict."
Other world stock markets also saw losses, triggered by tensions between the US and North Korea.
The Euro Stoxx 50, which includes Europe's biggest companies, fell 1% while London's FTSE 100 closed down 1.4%.
On a visit to South Korea, he is set to discuss ways to deal with Pyongyang amid speculation that leader Kim Jong-un could order a new nuclear test.
North Korea has warned the US not to take provocative action as it is "ready to hit back with nuclear attacks".
A US navy strike group is moving towards the Korean peninsula.
On a long-planned 10-day trip to Asia, his first official visit to the region, Mr Pence will reaffirm the US commitment to stand by its regional allies, officials say.
It comes as Washington steps up the pressure on the isolated North, with President Donald Trump saying that the United States is ready to act alone to deal with the nuclear threat.
Mr Pence's visit comes a day after North Korea displayed what appeared to be new intercontinental and submarine-launched ballistic missiles during a huge military parade in Pyongyang.
On display for the first time were what appeared to be the Pukkuksong submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), which have a range of more than 1,000 km (600 miles).
Weapons analysts said there also appeared to be two new types of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in canister launchers. But it remains unclear whether they have been tested and Pyongyang has yet to announce it has an operational ICBM.
The nation's aim is to be able to put a nuclear warhead on an ICBM that can reach targets around the world.
It has conducted five nuclear tests and a series of missile launches in pursuit of that goal.
Pyongyang has claimed to have miniaturised nuclear warheads for use on missiles, though experts have cast doubt on that given the lack of evidence.
The military parade in Pyongyang marked the 105th anniversary of the birth of North Korea's founding president, Kim Il-sung.
During the large event, Choe Ryong-hae, believed to be the country's second most powerful official, issued a warning to the US.
"We're prepared to respond to an all-out war with an all-out war... We are ready to hit back with nuclear attacks of our own style against any nuclear attacks."
Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and an accompanying battle group are steaming towards the region, a deployment seemed to be a show of strength.
US officials were quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying that the Trump administration was focusing more on raising pressure on North Korea with the help of China rather than using military force.
But the US president has recently demonstrated his willingness to resort to military methods. He ordered a cruise missile attack on Syria in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack, and the US military this week used a huge bomb against so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan.
The three-storey Georgian style building on the Ormeau Road was on the market for £175,000.
The building has been home to the SDLP in Belfast for more than 20 years.
However, it is understood the party has been feeling the pressure financially and a decision was taken to sell. The SDLP is to lose more than £100,000 in payments from Westminster after its three MPs lost their seats.
The so-called "short money" is paid to opposition parties to help with expenses.
Other parties, too, have been feeling the pinch after the recent run of elections.
The overall spending by parties was down by more than 50% in the last assembly election, compared to the previous poll ten months earlier.
An SDLP spokesman said they plan to move to new premises.
"The party is undertaking a long-term and wide-ranging overhaul of our operations. As part of our efforts to maximise efficiency, we will shortly be opening a more suitable campaign headquarters," he said.
"We are excited about this move as a key part of our wider SDLP rejuvenation plan."
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) confirmed that Liam Kerr, 19, died on Thursday. He had been in hospital since an incident on 13 January.
A second inmate, Robert Wagstaff, 18, died on Sunday.
A spokesman for the SPS said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding either of the deaths and reports would be sent to the procurator fiscal.
He added that their next of kin have been informed and fatal accident inquiries may be held in due course.
Both men were serving sentences at the young offenders institution near Falkirk after being convicted at Paisley Sheriff Court last year.
On desktop and laptops, these new versions are wider than the old design to make the most of the dimensions of modern computer screens.
We have also launched new designs for our coverage from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as part of this process. You can read more about the process behind the new designs here.
Below we answer the most common questions relating to the new pages.
Why have you made these changes?
We are completing the process of switching BBC Sport over to a responsive design - this means pages adapt automatically to the screen size of the device you are looking at it on.
This move will allow us to provide the same content irrespective of the device a user is looking at the site on, giving visitors the best experience no matter how they are looking at the site.
What improvements are there in the new designs?
The differences will be most apparent to visitors of the desktop site: the biggest being that, while previously many stories were shown as part of a list of headlines, now more of the content has an accompanying image and stories are more spaced out on the page.
The new layouts are designed to take account of the wider screens used by desktop computers, allowing us to present a richer experience for you as you visit the main sport and football pages.
They also feature new scores and league tables, designed to provide the same experience you can find in our coverage elsewhere on the site.
Our Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland pages will also change, to reflect the new designs brought in elsewhere on BBC Sport in recent weeks.
Has the content changed?
No. We will still cover these sports in the same way.
The new designs will ensure the same content is available on all devices, whereas previously some items only appeared on larger screens.
What other parts of the site use new designs?
Although the new designs are unique to the main sport and football indexes, we have already made most of our pages responsive across BBC Sport over the past few months, with your feedback helping to shape the work that has been done.
We have also switched across all the story and video pages on the website, and have used responsive pages for our live events, such as Saturday football commentaries, Test cricket and Wimbledon since last year, so you may well have experienced these changes already.
Can I give my feedback?
We welcome all feedback on the new design - simply fill in the survey which is available here or on the new indexes.
North Wales Police said earlier they were investigating a report of an attempted abduction in Llandyrnog.
Officers said this was no longer the case now that they have identified the facts of the case.
Det Insp Chris Bell said: "We would like to thank the public for their assistance during the investigation."
Up until now the head of the household was responsible for registering anyone who lived at their address.
But now individuals can register by providing their name, address, date of birth and national insurance number.
The Electoral Commission warned people to avoid a "rip off" company that is offering to help customers for £29.95.
The move to a system of individual electoral registration is intended to reduce the danger of electoral fraud.
'Important step'
Jenny Watson, chair of the Electoral Commission, said it was a "huge step forward" in meeting people's needs.
"Previously we either had to telephone our local authority and ask them to send a form, or we could download a copy, fill it in and send it to the electoral registration officer," she said.
"The new system will be much more straightforward."
But Katie Ghose, of the Electoral Reform Society, warned the changeover, which affects England and Wales, needed to be managed properly if people were not to "drop off" the register and lose their right to vote.
"Today marks an important step forward in bringing our voting system into the 21st century," she said.
"But this is just the first step. If the transition to the new system is not managed well, and resources are not targeted at those most likely to drop off the register, then millions of citizens will go missing from our democracy."
Warning
A spokeswoman for the Electoral Commission also urged people to use the free registration service www.aboutmyvote.co.uk rather than a company offering to complete customers electoral roll registrations for £29.95 a time.
The watchdog has written to the company and requested Google remove its ads from its search engine.
"This so-called service is clearly ripping people off," she said.
"It is very simple to register to vote and we want to make sure no-one mistakenly uses this other service that charges people for something that is available completely free."
Cairns was cleared of perjury and perverting the course of justice last November after an eight-week trial.
McCullum gave evidence accusing Cairns of twice asking him to fix matches.
Cairns said McCullum's version of events was wrong and that he was "shocked" McCullum would accuse him of trying to recruit him to fix results.
Cairns, also a former New Zealand captain, was found not guilty on all charges by a jury.
Speaking to TVNZ, on the eve of the release of his autobiography, Declared, McCullum said: "Whether they believed me, whether they didn't, none of that really matters. It wasn't about a guilty or not guilty verdict. It was a matter of fulfilling a moral obligation I felt I had.
"I was prepared to stand up, even under pressure and under fire from various quarters, and do what I thought was morally right at the time.
"The last thing I wanted to do was be in a courtroom testifying against one of my old mates. It's certainly not how I was brought up as well."
McCullum and Cairns became friends after playing for the Black Caps.
But McCullum, who retired from international cricket in February, added: "I'm sure he'll get on with his life, and I'll get on with mine, and let's hope they never cross paths."

The Steam Packet Company said 36,500 people have so far travelled for the event, compared with 35,500 in 2016.
Last year's figures suffered a hit due to the unavailability of a fast ferry serving Northern Ireland.
Chief executive Mark Woodward said demand to travel during the TT remains "extremely high."
As well as the 36,500 passengers, the company said it had carried 14,037 motorcycles and more than 4,000 cars, vans and trailers.
Hundreds of passengers were stranded on the island this week after high winds cancelled sailings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, the majority were given bookings on alternative sailings within 24 hours.

The body was found in "suspicious circumstances" in Scotland Street at about 05:30. Detectives revealed the man sustained "significant injuries".
Another man in the flat is being treated as a "significant witness" and is helping police with their inquiry.
Two cars parked outside the property have been taped off.
One car has a sign lying on the backseat asking for donations for someone who is homeless.
The note in the car reads: "Please can you spare some change, I'm homeless or even something to eat, I'm really desperate. Any donations would be appreciated. Thank you and God Bless. Merry Xmas"
A second car containing a bag full of medical prescriptions has also been taped off by police.
Police said they were seizing the cars as they were "connected to the flat".
Police broke the door down of the flat after receiving several calls from neighbours about a "significant disturbance".
There were only two men, in their 20s, in the flat at the time of the disturbance, one of who is now dead.
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of Police Scotland, said a weapon was possibly used.
He said: "We have found a body in suspicious circumstances, which has sustained significant injuries."
He added: "With this in mind it is imperative that we trace those involved in this incident as soon as possible.
"I would urge anyone who was in the Scotland Street area on the morning of Friday 2 December to get in touch with us immediately."
The bassist played on songs including Roll Away The Stone and the group's best known hit All The Young Dudes, written and produced by David Bowie.
He died on Sunday of cancer, said Peter Purnell from record label Angel Air Records.
He said Watts was a "highly intelligent and witty man who throughout his adult life was both an immensely likeable character and an enigma".
His death comes almost exactly a year after that of drummer Dale Griffin.
Born in Yardley, Birmingham, Watts attended Ross Grammar School where he met Griffin. They played in local bands such as The Anchors, Wild Dogs Hellhounds and The Silence. The two friends went on to form The Doc Thomas Group with Mick Ralphs and Stan Tippins from The Buddies.
The line-up changed in 1968, when keyboard player Verden Allen joined, and they changed their name to The Shakedown Sound.
Allen posted on Facebook that Watts was a "warm, funny, intelligent, talented and hugely charismatic person" who "always had an entertaining story to tell".
In 1969 the musicians moved to London and came to the attention of record producer Guy Stevens who auditioned Ian Hunter and appointed him as their lead singer instead of Tippins, and Mott the Hoople was formed.
After the group split in 1974, Watts went on to form the bands Mott and British Lions.
He also ran a large retro store in Hereford, selling specialist clothing, unusual antiquities, instruments and rare music and wrote a book, The Man Who Hated Walking, which was published in 2013.
Watts, who lived just outside Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, is survived by his sister Jane.
Morgan Fisher, a former Mot the Hoople bandmate, posted a tribute on Facebook to Watts's "bravery, honesty, generosity, open heart and still-devastatingly witty humour during his last days".
Fisher added that "he left this world as a total hero, a samurai".

All EU nationals lawfully resident for at least five years will be able to apply for "settled status" and be able to bring over spouses and children.
Those who come after an as-yet-unagreed date will have two years to "regularise their status" but with no guarantees.
Jeremy Corbyn said the offer was "not generous" and "too little, too late".
Labour said the UK should have made a unilateral guarantee of security to EU citizens in the aftermath of last year's Brexit vote.
The EU's chief negotiator said the proposals did not go far enough.
A 15-page document outlining the detail of the UK's offer to EU citizens was published as Theresa May briefed MPs on the outcome of Friday's EU summit - at which she first set out her plans.
She told the Commons that she wanted to give reassurance and certainty to the 3.2 million EU citizens in the UK - as well as citizens of the three EEA countries and Switzerland - who she said were an "integral part of the economic and cultural fabric" of the UK.
But she said any deal on their future legal status and rights must be reciprocal and also give certainty to the 1.2 million British expats living on the continent after the UK leaves the EU - expected to be on 29 March 2019.
The key points of the UK's proposals are:
The prime minister told MPs that those granted settled status, equivalent to having indefinite leave to remain, would be "treated as if they were UK citizens for healthcare, benefits and pensions".
Mrs May said the process of application would be simplified and a "light touch" approach adopted. The existing application process for permanent residency, which involves filling out a 85-page form, has been widely criticised.
"Under these plans, no EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point the UK leaves the EU," Mrs May said.
By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent
Officials anticipate that the process of administering "settled status" will be a huge challenge, with some 3.2 million potential applications.
Those EU nationals who've been assigned residency cards already will have to apply again under the new system, though the process for them is expected to be "streamlined".
It's thought applications for settled status will start to be processed from mid-2018.
Officials say they intend to put in place a new, online, simplified system - but say they are used to dealing with large volumes of applications - 2.5 million visas each year and seven million passports.
Read Danny's blog
Mrs May said spouses, children and other family members currently living overseas would be able to come to the UK and apply for settled status on the same basis as their partners and relatives.
Pressed by several Labour MPs, she suggested there would be no income barriers for anyone whose relatives have been in the UK for more than five years while, for others, existing rules applying to the foreign dependents of British citizens would be in force in future.
"There will be no extra requirements," she said. "We are not talking about splitting up families."
She also insisted the UK should police the new rules rather than the European Court of Justice.
But Mr Corbyn said the question of citizens' rights should have been dealt with in isolation rather than being dragged into the "delicate and complex" matrix of trade and other Brexit-related issues now being discussed.
"The truth is it is too little, too late. That could have been done and should have been done a year ago when Labour put that very proposal to the House of Commons. This isn't a generous offer. This is confirmation the government is prepared to use people as bargaining chips."
The SNP's Ian Blackford said there were still "more questions than answers" about how EU citizens living in Scotland would be affected.
And the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said it could not understand why those who already had permanent residence were being asked to re-apply to obtain the new status.
"These are people who have already proven their right to be here to the government's satisfaction under a very stringent process," said its chief executive Saira Grant.
"It is astonishing that the government wants to take on the expense and administrative hassle of reprocessing all of those applications under a new scheme."
Reacting on Twitter, Michel Barnier, who is leading the Brexit negotiations for the EU, said his goal was the same level of protection that citizens currently have under EU law.
He added: "More ambition, clarity and guarantees needed than in today's UK position."
Another key EU figure, Guy Verhofstadt, who is negotiating on behalf of the European Parliament, warned that any changes to free movement laws before the UK has left would break EU law.

O'Sullivan has talked in a robotic voice and sung an Oasis song in protest at being the subject of disciplinary hearings for several previous comments.
Hearn described the five-time world champion's antics as "hilarious" but added: "I'm not sure he's doing himself any favours.
"There's a players' contract and Ronnie O'Sullivan's breaking no rules at all."
O'Sullivan, 41, publicly criticised a referee and a photographer at the Masters in January, when he won a record seventh title, but his explanation was accepted and no action was taken.
"Ronnie never upsets me with what he says," Hearn said. "Sometimes he goes too far, and when he goes too far, he's reported to the disciplinary.
"There is no singling out of Ronnie O'Sullivan, for sure, because we need him in the game.

"Will I talk to him? I talk to him all the time. I am very happy to have a cup of tea, and I told him I think it's hilarious.
"He's operating under exactly the same rules as every other player. And he has every right to make any comment through the appropriate channels and they will be listened to. But the appropriate channels are not in the public media."
O'Sullivan was beaten 5-3 by eventual champion Judd Trump in the quarter-finals of last week's Players Championship.

Keane has taken longer than expected to recover from a knock sustained at the weekend while Pilkington has been troubled by persistent knee concerns.
Jonathan Walters will not play because of a hamstring injury but should be fit to face Slovakia on Tuesday.
Bournemouth's Harry Arter will miss both games after damaging his Achilles.
Republic manager Martin O'Neill has vowed to use the first of two games in four days to run the rule over some of his squad's fringe players.
With skipper Keane and Cardiff midfielder Pilkington out of contention, it may free up the boss to experiment.
"Robbie's still sore," said O'Neill at his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
"He got a bit of a knock and he's taking a little bit longer to get over it than he expected. He probably won't be available for Friday but we'll look at it again over the weekend."
Pilkington will also be reassessed ahead of the clash with Slovakia.
O'Neill is keen to get a look at Blackburn defender Shane Duffy and Brentford midfielder Alan Judge over the two games.
There will be also a start in one of the games for Newcastle goalkeeper Rob Elliot.
O'Neill said it would take some effort for a player to emerge from the pack to make the squad as James McClean did ahead of Euro 2012 four years ago, but has reminded his hopefuls that a new World Cup qualifying campaign is just around the corner.
He added: "Let's be fair about it, the players who are coming in late here have a bit to do, I must admit. Everything would probably have to go pretty well for them individually.
"But it's not impossible and it's happened before, and that's why I'd like to open the door for them, to feel as if they have got a chance.
"And for instance, one or two of them - let's say they didn't make it - they know they are right maybe for the World Cup campaign coming up almost immediately."
The Malaysia Airlines plane, carrying 239 people, vanished in March 2014.
The Boeing-777 was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The wing part discovered on Wednesday has been taken to mainland France for tests. But other items found at the weekend were not from an aircraft.
The BBC's Karen Allen, on Reunion, says one of the pieces was found on a rocky beach just north of where the suspected plane wing part was spotted.
A team of police and police photographers was called and the object was taken away.
However, Malaysia's Director General of Civil Aviation Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told Associated Press: "I read all over media [the new debris] was part of a door. But I checked with the Civil Aviation Authority, and people on the ground in Reunion, and it was just a domestic ladder."
The Agence France-Presse news agency said on Sunday that one of its photographers had also seen a mangled piece of metal inscribed with two Chinese characters, attached to a leather-covered handle and measuring 100 sq cm being placed into an iron case and carried away.
But some social media commentators suggested it might be a kettle.
A source close to the inquiry told AFP that "no object or debris likely to come from a plane" had been submitted as evidence on Sunday.
A spokesman in the town of St Andre, where the wing part was found, said that while people were more vigilant, "they are going to think any metallic object they find on the beach is from flight MH370".
"But there are objects all along the coast, the ocean continually throws them up," Jean-Yves Sambiman told AFP.
Malaysia's transport ministry says it now wants to expand the search for more debris around Reunion.
Malaysia will ask regions nearby to alert it if they find any debris that could be from MH370.
Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai urged the regions to allow experts "to conduct more substantive analysis should there be more debris coming on to land".
But he also urged people to allow the inquiry to run its course "for the sake of the next of kin of the loved ones of MH370 who would be anxiously awaiting news and who have suffered much over this time".
An Australian-led search effort for the plane has so far focused on a vast area of the southern Indian Ocean about 4,000km (2,500 miles) to the east of Reunion.
No physical trace of the aircraft had been found.

MH370: The deep-sea hunt for missing plane
Mr Liow earlier confirmed that the object found on a beach at St Andre on Wednesday was a wing flap from a Boeing 777 - the same type of aircraft as the one that vanished.
The piece has gone to mainland France, where investigators in the city of Toulouse will seek to establish if it came from MH370. They will begin their work this Wednesday.
Fragments of a suitcase found on the same beach are also to be examined.
Investigators believe MH370 veered off course on the way to Beijing and crashed into the sea - but they do not know why.

It looks like Saints will name their new manager by the middle of next week, and more than a few eyes were trained on the directors box to see its there were any obvious candidates watching this one, although rumours of an interest from former French international and Fulham manager Jean Tigana being seen in Paisley earlier in the week were played down.
Falkirk had been looking to go six wins in a row in league and cup matches, and after an early good spell for the Buddies in which Tom Taiwo has cleared a Stevie Mallen corner off the line, Sibbald gave the visitors the lead on nine minutes with a 20 yard free kick which took a wicked deflection and evaded the diving Jamie Langfield.
John Rankin then produced a thundering shot which blasted into Gary Irvine before Ryan Hardie should have levelled for the hosts a minute before the interval but blasted high over the bar from 18 yards.
Falkirk's Bob McHugh had the ball in the net six minutes after the break but was correctly judged offside before John Baird's 82nd-minute cross found substitute James Craigan whose header was well saved by Langfield.
But it was Saints substitute Walsh who brought the biggest cheer from the 2,344 crowd with a thundering 25 yard equaliser for his fourth goal of the season to level matters three minutes from time.
St Mirren play Hibernian and Dundee United in their next two games and many of the home fans will take more than a passing interest when those two meet at Easter Road on Sunday to see if they can spot any managerial candidates doing some "homework" before next week's announcement.

The government wants an end to sporadic attacks in the province, which it blames on Islamist militants.
A police statement said cars are the main means of transport for terrorists.
Drivers in the Bayingol area who refuse to install the system will not be allowed to buy fuel.
Xinjiang has seen a series of bombings and knife attacks over recent years, which the government blames on separatist elements of the region's large Muslim Uighur population.
Rights groups say the violence is due to the tight controls by the government on Uighurs' religion and culture.
The government denies any repression.
The vehicle-tracking programme will use China's homegrown Beidou satellite navigation system, which was launched to reduce reliance on the US's global positioning system (GPS).
It would also help car owners to find their vehicles quickly if they are stolen by terrorists, the state-run Global Times newspaper said.
Security in the region has been further increased after five people were killed by three assailants in a knife attack last week.
The attackers were shot dead by police.
Security forces held an anti-terror rally on Saturday, parading hundreds of armed men through the streets of the regional capital Urumqi.
In June, Xinjiang police ordered residents to provide DNA samples and other biological data when applying for travel documents.
The move, which the government said was also to combat terrorism, was criticised by human rights groups.
Researchers tested pairs of identical and non-identical twins to see how attractive they were to mosquitoes.
Identical twins were more likely to have similar levels of attractiveness - suggesting shared genetic factors were at play.
The "intriguing" results must now be assessed in larger trials, experts say.
Researchers have long tried to understand what drives mosquitoes to bite certain people more than others. Recent work shows the insects may be lured to their victims by body odour.
And anecdotal reports suggest some relatives are just as likely to be bitten as each other.
Scientists from the UK and US wanted to find out whether genes were behind this phenomenon.
To test their theory they enlisted 19 non-identical and 18 identical pairs of twins in a pilot study.
In a series of experiments each twin placed one hand at an end of a Y-shaped wind tunnel as air was pumped through, carrying odour with it.
Swarms of mosquitoes were then released and moved towards or away from each twin's hand.
For identical twins - who share much of their genetic material - there was an even distribution of mosquitoes in both sections.
This suggests the insects did not prefer the odour of one hand more than the other.
In contrast, results for the non identical twins - who share fewer genes - were more varied.
Researchers say their works suggests attractiveness to mosquitoes could be caused by inherited body odour genes.
Their next step is to uncover which specific genes may be involved.
Further research is now under way.
Providing an independent comment, Dr David Weetman, lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, said: "This is a novel and intriguing finding.
"It is the first time a genetic basis has been demonstrated.
"But mosquitoes are not just attracted to scent - things like carbon dioxide also play a role.
"Larger studies will help assess how relevant these findings are outside the laboratory where other factors may be important."
Lead author Dr James Logan, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "If we understand the genetic basis for variation between individuals it could be possible to develop bespoke ways to control mosquitoes better, and develop new ways to repel them."
Local media reported that a ceasefire has been extended, but there was no official confirmation from either side.
It was the first direct contact between the two sides since peace moves began last month.
Militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have been waging an insurgency in Pakistan since 2007.
Viewpoint: Taliban ascendant?
Press sceptical about talks
Who's who in Pakistan-Taliban peace talks
A team of four Pakistani government representatives travelled to the area near the Afghan border by helicopter.
The talks are the result of an effort by the Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, to find a way to end the insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives.
The BBC's Shumaila Jaffery in Lahore says Mr Sharif is under political pressure to resolve the crisis and that many in Pakistan will push for military action if the talks fail.
The militants, who are fighting for their austere version of Sharia law across Pakistan, have repeatedly rejected the country's constitution. Many observers say that makes any lasting deal unlikely.
The TTP also comprises many factions, which makes a deal complicated to reach.
Since taking office last May, Mr Sharif has come under mounting pressure to bring the violence under control, with many accusing his government of lacking a strategy to deal with the militants, correspondents say.
Earlier this year he said he wanted to end the insurgency by peaceful means, but has indicated that stronger military action will be used if talks fail.
Correspondents say some in Pakistan are worried the talks will only allow the militants time to gain strength and regroup. Previous deals and attempts to engage the Pakistani Taliban in dialogue have all failed.
Mr Modi was returning to India from Afghanistan when he stopped off. The visit coincided with the Pakistani prime minister's birthday.
Mr Modi is the first Indian PM to visit Pakistan since 2004.
Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours were high in recent years but relations have begun to improve.
The pair met briefly in Paris last month on the sidelines of the COP21 climate change conference.
The two men hugged after Mr Modi arrived at Allama Iqbal International Airport on Friday, before making their way to Mr Sharif's nearby estate.
Analysis - Shaimaa Khalil, BBC News, Kabul
The Twitter hashtags about Mr Modi's visit to Pakistan started almost as soon as he announced on social media that he was going to "drop by" to see Mr Sharif on his birthday after a visit to Kabul.
One of the more telling ones was #Xmasmiracle.
This was always going to be an historic event, but the spontaneous and personal nature of the visit took many by surprise.
The two men have a lot to discuss, including the decades-long conflict along the Kashmir border.
Many see Mr Modi's visit as a solid step in the warming of relations between the nuclear rivals but there's a long way to go before that is translated to actual peace on the borders.
There's of course criticism on both sides about this gesture. The opposition Congress party in India called it ridiculous. In Pakistan, many took to Twitter to say that Mr Modi was not welcome.
Neither side has released a statement on the substance of the talks, which lasted two hours.
After the meeting, Mr Modi left to return to India.
Mr Modi, a Hindu nationalist, came to power in 2014 and has tried to help raise India's international profile.
The two countries have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over Kashmir.
Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it.
The Hong Kong-based Centre for Food Safety (CFS) announced an embargo on the sea creatures and warned people on Wednesday not to eat them.
The CFS said samples it had collected from the isle had "excessive" cadmium.
Defra said all crabs sold in the UK need to comply with EU regulations on the level of cadmium permitted.
It added it was working with the Hong Kong authorities to find a "workable solution" so trade could resume "as soon as possible".
Two crab samples that were ready for export to China contained the metal at 15 and 22 parts per million (ppm) - exceeding a limit of 2ppm, the CFS said.
More than 220kg of meat from one of the exporters has been held by Hong Kong officials, but 160kg has already been distributed, the CFS said.
Officials warned that, while occasional consumption of crabs with cadmium will not cause significant harm, prolonged intake may have adverse effects on people's kidneys.
"The CFS has informed the relevant authorities of the United Kingdom and the local trade and will continue to closely follow up the incident and take appropriate actions, including enhanced surveillance of aquatic products imported from the United Kingdom," the announcement said.
Anglesey council said it had not heard from the Chinese authority but added it was aware of the situation and was making inquiries.
"Brown crab is known to accumulate cadmium in the hepatopancreas (a component of the brown meat) due to the detoxifying function of this organ," a spokesperson said.
"The authority has not issued export certificates in relation to brown crab destined for China for some months, following advice from Defra that the Chinese had placed restrictions on the import of live crabs from the whole of the UK, due to excessive cadmium levels found on testing."
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Wales said cadmium concentrations in brown meat from crabs - as opposed to white crab meat, which comes from the legs and claws - "vary widely".
It said the NHS advises regular fish-eaters to avoid eating brown crab meat too often.
"The FSA is continuing to work with the crab industry to look at ways of reducing cadmium levels in brown crab meat through different processing methods," an FSA spokesperson said.
Pope, 31, has agreed a two-year deal with the club he supported as a boy, having left for Gigg Lane in 2015.
He scored 10 goals in 73 League One appearances in his two seasons at Bury.
Pope was more prolific in his first spell at Vale Park, netting 33 times in the 2012-13 season, the last time the club were in League Two.
He remained their leading scorer in the following two campaigns, but rejected a new contract in 2015 and opted to sign for Bury.
Pope becomes the first summer signing under Michael Brown.

Shana Pezaro, 36, from Hove, East Sussex, was given antiretroviral drugs after fearing she may have contracted HIV.
Within days, Miss Pezaro noticed an easing of her MS symptoms.
When a doctor saw her walking up stairs after years of using a wheelchair he set up a clinical trial.
Multiple sclerosis is an incurable condition that can lead to sight loss, pain, fatigue and disability. It affects around 100,000 people in the UK.
Miss Pezaro was a dancer and piano teacher before being diagnosed with MS at the age of 28. The condition affected her hands and feet and she used a wheelchair.
In MS the coating around the nerve fibres is damaged causing a range of symptoms
Once diagnosed there is no cure, but treatments can help manage the condition
MS affects almost three times as many women as men
Physical symptoms of MS might commonly include vision problems, balance problems and dizziness, fatigue, bladder problems and stiffness and/or spasms
MS can affect memory and thinking and also can have an impact on emotions
(Source: Multiple Sclerosis Society)
About a year ago, Miss Pezaro thought she may have been exposed to HIV and her doctor prescribed emergency antiretroviral drugs.
"Three days after I took the drugs I walked up a flight of stairs," she said.
"That was an unbelievable, massive change."
Prof Julian Gold from the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, saw a video of Miss Pezaro climbing the stairs and a clinical trial was set up to look at the impact of single or combination antiretroviral drugs on MS patients.
An earlier study led by Dr Gold conducted with Queen Mary University, London and the University of Oxford showed an association between HIV and MS.
They reported antiretroviral treatment may suppress other viruses such as those which may cause MS.
Dr Gold said: "The next stage of the investigation is to use a very similar combination [of HIV drugs] that Shana took. I think that might be quite optimistic."
A spokeswoman for the MS Society said: "Our growing understanding tells us that viruses have a role to play in multiple sclerosis and it will be interesting to see the trial results - positive findings mean another step on the road to beating MS."
Shana and Dr Gold would be very keen not to raise any false hope.
The study builds on a lot of work already done with HIV patients who simply don't get multiple sclerosis.
This is really about finding a cause and increasingly people think the cause may be a virus.
When scientists use words like "amazing" and "intriguing" you have to stand up and listen.
In the latest rescue, 462 migrants including 37 children and 148 women were rescued off Lampedusa.
On Monday, 488 migrants including 133 children and 62 women were found off Capo Passero in Sicily.
The number of unaccompanied minors arriving this year has alarmed the Save the Children charity.
While most children under 10 who arrive in Italy are with families, many adolescents are travelling alone and Save the Children says there are not adequate facilities to accommodate and protect them.
There has been a huge increase in migrant numbers. Italy has taken in at least 26,644 so far this year compared with 3,362 during the same period last year, the Associated Press news agency reports.
The number of people detected trying to enter the EU illegally last year rose by nearly half on 2012, with nearly one in four from Syria, the EU's frontiers agency reported last week.
Many of those rescued this week are believed to be Syrians, fleeing the civil war at home. Others come from Egypt and Bangladesh.
On Tuesday, the Italian patrol boat San Giorgio found and assisted the boat carrying 462 migrants off Lampedusa, and is due to transfer them to the Italian coastguards, the navy told the BBC News website.
On Monday, two fishing boats packed with migrants were spotted by a navy helicopter off Sicily and two navy ships, the frigate Grecale and patrol ship Foscari, moved in to rescue them.
That operation was hampered by rough seas and did not end until Tuesday morning.
Typically, the migrants, fleeing conflict or poverty, are trafficked from ports in Libya aboard unseaworthy boats.
Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has warned his country will defy EU asylum rules if it does not get more help to patrol its maritime borders.
"We'll just let them go," he said, referring to an EU agreement that migrants must remain in the country in which they arrive until their status as refugees is decided.

Covey passed away at an Idaho hospital on Monday from complications caused by an April bicycle accident in Utah.
"He was surrounded by his loving wife and each one of his children and their spouses, just as he always wanted," the family said in a statement.
Covey reportedly sold more than 20m books in his career.
In April, he was brought to hospital after being knocked unconscious in an accident on a steep road.
His publicist, Debra Lund, said at the time that doctors had not found any signs of long-term damage to his head.
Covey grew up in a tight-knit Mormon family on an egg farm near Salt Lake City,
according to a Fortune magazine profile
.
After gaining an MBA from Harvard University and a doctorate from Brigham Young University, Covey became a business management professor at Brigham Young.
With the success of the 1989 publication of Seven Habits, Covey began a management consulting business that proved popular with major companies and government agencies.
The 34-year-old Briton led at the bell and kicked clear to win in 13 minutes 00.70 seconds.
Ethiopian teenager Yomif Kejelcha was second in 13:01.21, with Kenyan Geoffrey Kamworor third in 13:01.35.
Olympic silver medallist Paul Chelimo was seventh in 13:10.11, with GB's Andrew Butchart eighth in 13:11.45.
It was an accomplished final track performance in the US from Farah, who plans to retire from track racing after the World Championships in London this summer.
Having completed a 'double-double' of 5,000m and 10,000m gold at last year's Olympics in Rio, Farah is targeting a fourth successive 5,000m world gold in August.
It was his second competition of the outdoor season following a second-place finish behind American Matthew Centrowitz over 1500m in Los Angeles earlier this month.
Kejelcha, 19, was on the shoulder of Farah coming round the final bend but the Briton pulled away masterfully to secure a comfortable win.
Farah was delighted to make an impressive statement to his rivals before the World Championships at Stratford's Olympic Stadium.
"For me it wasn't about time. It was just a matter of telling the boys 'Look, I'm ready'," he said after his victory in Eugene.
"A lot of the boys talk a lot. A lot of guys saying 'I'm going to do this or that.' But I don't like to do that. I just want my running to do the talking and get on with it.
"I've got a target on my back, I've been on the top of my game for the last five years and everyone wants to beat me.
"It's hard trying to maintain it year after year. But I know what I have to do - eat, sleep and train properly. But that's what it takes if you want to win medals."
Farah said he plans to race in Usain Bolt's farewell meeting in Kingston next month before heading to Europe to run in Ostrava.
Also in Eugene on Saturday, Britain's Chris O'Hare was second in the invitational mile.
The 26-year-old Scot clocked 3:53.34, behind Brazil's Thiago Andre (3:51.99), while 16-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway became the youngest sub-four minute miler when he finished 11th in 3:58.07.
In the 100m the top six all ran under 10 seconds but a wind speed of 2.4m/s meant the times were not classed as legal.
American Ronnie Baker won in 9.86, with Britain's Adam Gemili seventh in 10.03.

Sativex is taken as an oral spray and has been approved by the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG).
It will be available on prescription to treat muscle spasms for MS patients who have not responded to other medicine.
The MS Society said Wales was leading the way in the treatment.
Its programme director for policy, Sally Hughes, added: "Muscle spasms and stiffness in MS can be painful and distressing and so the availability of a treatment that can potentially alleviate these symptoms is good news.
"We particularly welcome this decision considering the draft NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) clinical guideline, published in April, rejected this treatment for use on the NHS in Wales and England based on a flawed assessment of the drug's cost effectiveness.
"For some time we've been aware of people in Wales paying privately for this licensed treatment; this decision should make life a lot easier for them."
Sativex is the first cannabis-based medicine to be licensed in the UK.
Tony Wiggins, chairman of the Cardiff and Vale MS Society, has trialled Sativex and called it a "tremendous step forward".
"It's good for spasms and other effects of MS - and it does work," he said.
"And if a treatment works then it should be made available."
Wales Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: "Following the appraisal of Sativex by the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group, I am pleased to announce we will be making the medicine available on the Welsh NHS to those who need it.
"I hope this decision will help ease the suffering of some of those who have to live with the reality of MS everyday."
Director of service development at the Multiple Sclerosis Trust, Amy Bowen, said: "We are extremely pleased that people with MS in Wales will finally have better access to Sativex.
"As a charity we have campaigned over a long period for Sativex to be widely available because of the significant impact that MS spasticity can have on daily activities.
"We just hope that this recommendation will now lead to Sativex being more easily accessible in the rest of the UK."
Ms Choi, a close friend of President Park Geun-hye, is charged with abuse of power and attempted fraud.
Separately, the Constitutional Court began considering President Park's impeachment over the scandal.
That trial, where the court must ratify or overturn a parliamentary impeachment vote, began despite Ms Park's absence.
Proceedings opened on Tuesday but were curtailed because Ms Park did not attend. On Thursday the court went ahead anyway.
Her lawyer has previously said Ms Park will not be in court "unless there are special circumstances", Yonhap news agency reported.
Both cases centre on allegations President Park gave Ms Choi unauthorised access to government decisions and allowed her to exploit their close relationship to solicit money from corporations for foundations from which she benefitted.
Both women have apologised but deny committing criminal offences.
In court, Ms Choi formally denied the charges against her. "I am facing much unfairness," she reportedly said.
Her lawyer told the court there had been "no collusion" between Ms Choi and the president.
"The accused has not sought one bit of financial gain for herself since the day the foundations were established," Lee Kyung-jae said.
The scandal has rocked South Korea, sparking several huge demonstrations.
While the impeachment process continues, Ms Park remains formally president but with most of her powers handed to the prime minister, a role that normally has little executive authority.
Separately, Yonhap news agency reports that South Korea has sent a formal extradition request to Denmark for the daughter of Ms Choi, several days after saying they were working on it.
Chung Yoo-ra, a former national equestrian rider, was arrested in Denmark on Sunday and later appeared in court accused of overstaying her visa.
Part of the investigation into Ms Choi's activities relates to a gift horse from South Korean conglomerate Samsung to Ms Choi, allegedly for Ms Chung's training.
The prestigious Ewha Women's University in Seoul is also accused of giving Ms Chung a place - she has since left - because of her mother's connections.
Hundreds of thousands of the crabs migrate to Australia's southern shores each year as ocean waters cool.
Australian aquatic scientist Sheree Marris filmed an enormous gathering of the crustaceans in Port Phillip Bay.
Ms Marris said she hoped to raise awareness of the diversity of sea life in Australia's southern waters.
"Who would have thought something like this, that is so spectacular, could be happening in Australia on the southern shore," she said.
The exact reason for the behaviour is not known, but scientists speculate it is most likely to do with the process of moulting.
When crabs shed their hard outer shell in order to grow, they are vulnerable to predators such as cormorants and stingrays.
Bunching together in large numbers provides a level of protection against being eaten.
"People think Port Phillip Bay's a marine wasteland … but this is really unique and it's really spectacular," Ms Marris said.
"Not only is [Melbourne] the most liveable city above the water, it is also the most liveable below the water."
It is hoped the move would help boost the local economy by allowing traffic outside shopping hours.
Renfrewshire Council leader Mark Macmillan described the proposal as the best of both worlds.
A previous proposal to allow cars back into the town centre was rejected after being put out to public consultation.
The new plan is being developed by the Paisley Vision Board, which is made up of the local council, the chamber of commerce, as well as local individuals and retailers.
The centre of Paisley was pedestrianised in 1997.
According to the The Local Data Company (LDC), which compiles statistics on high street shop vacancy rates, the town has more empty shops than anywhere else in Scotland.
Retailers in Paisley have struggled to compete against the draw of Glasgow's retail district as well as out-of-town centres such as nearby Braehead, which opened in 1999.
The previously rejected consultation on the town centre was launched in 2009, and offered residents a choice between maintaining the pedestrian-only streets, opening them up to cars again completely, or opening them to cars at various points in evenings and weekends.
Maylyn Couperthwaite, 52, died after being attacked along with her mother Audrey, 80, on Woodward Close, Bury, Greater Manchester, in February.
Oliver Faughey, 63, admitted manslaughter and grievous bodily harm at Manchester Crown Court.
He was handed a life sentence and ordered to serve a minimum of 10 years.
Faughey was originally charged with murder, but the prosecution accepted pleas on lesser charges after he was detained under mental health laws.
The court heard he forced his way into the home and stabbed both his victims repeatedly before fleeing the scene.
Maylyn Couperthwaite died at Royal Oldham Hospital, but her mother later recovered from serious injuries.
Senior investigating officer Duncan Thorpe, of Greater Manchester Police, said the family remain "devastated".
He added: "Although nothing will change the events of that night, I hope the result will bring some closure to Audrey and the rest of Maylyn's family."
Some of the fund will be used to provide more care for children and young people.
There has been a 35% increase in those starting treatment with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in the past two years.
Scottish labour described the funding increase as "pure spin".
Ministers previously revealed an extra £15m for mental health innovation.
The additional cash will also be used to promote better wellbeing through physical activity, improving patients' rights, to help GPs treat those suffering from mental health problems and providing services in community settings.
Jamie Hepburn, minister for health improvement, mental health and sport, said: "Mental health services are an absolute priority of this government.
"These are some of the most vulnerable people in our country and it's vital that the health service is properly equipped to give them the support and treatment they need.
"We have been investing heavily for a number of years and waiting times have come down significantly, despite an unprecedented rise in the number of people seeking help."
However, Dr Richard Simpson, Labour public and mental health spokesman, said the share of the NHS budget for mental health had reduced.
He said: "This is pure spin from the SNP. Their cuts to mental health came to £80m a year, this additional money only sees an extra £20m in helping some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland.
"Of course additional funding for mental health is welcome, but this comes after years of reductions in the share of the NHS budget for mental health."
Dr Simpson added: "The SNP are trying to spin they are protecting NHS budgets - they are simply trying to undo some of their own damage"
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland associate director Norman Provan said: "There are many examples of nurses operating innovative services that improve care for people with mental health problems, not only in NHS services in hospitals and the community, but also in local authority services.
"But while such innovative services make a huge difference, they are often subject to funding cuts, and don't know how long they'll be open and providing much-needed support. They, and the people who rely on their services, need to know that they will continue in the future."
He added: "So we need to see long-term investment by Scotland's new joint integration boards in services designed to meet the needs of our most vulnerable people."
Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesman Jim Hume said: "The Scottish government needs to give equal status to mental ill health as physical illness.
"Under the SNP's watch the number of trained psychology professionals has dropped. A postcode lottery means people in some parts of Scotland are half as likely to get proper access as people in other parts.
"We know that GPs are not referring patients for therapies because the therapies simply aren't there."
Goals from Michael Rose and Peter Murphy either side of an Oscar Threlkeld header for the Pilgrims gave Jim Bentley's side a much-needed three points.
Morecambe opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 20th minute. Dean Winnard was bundled over in the penalty area as the home side swung in a corner and the referee pointed to the spot, with Rose sending goalkeeper Luke McCormick the wrong way.
The visitors came into the game with Graham Carey going close before Argyle were gifted an equaliser in the 43rd minute when home goalkeeper Barry Roche failed to claim a right-wing cross to give Threlkeld a free header at the far post and he scored from six yards.
The second half began in controversy as Jordan Slew was shown a second yellow card for a dive in the area after Roche ran from his goal to challenge.
And Morecambe took advantage as they won the game with a 63rd-minute Murphy header from a Rose corner.
The Shrimps then went close to extending their lead as Kevin Ellison and Ntumba Massanka hit the woodwork, but the Shrimps held on to inflict a third successive defeat on Plymouth.
The loss sees the Pilgrims slip to second, with Carlisle United's 5-2 win over Steve Evans' Mansfield Town enough to move them top on goal difference.

He is a Waitrose loyalty card carrier making the most of the free hot drink offer.
Not the image of stereotypical Waitrose clientele perhaps, but certainly typical of the new breed of "promiscuous" customer who tours various stores for a good deal.
So, will his apparent disloyalty by shopping around lead to the end of loyalty cards - which reward shoppers who spend plenty and regularly in the same supermarket?
This month, Sainsbury's is halving the reward points available to Nectar card holders. Some of the increasingly successful chains do not bother with a loyalty card at all.
But some experts argue that reports of the loyalty card's death are greatly exaggerated. Instead, they expect a rebirth, from purse-clogging plastic cards to a digital format with some entertainment value. Also, the data they hold might even help protect our environment.
Loyalty points, or trading stamps, have been around for decades. Among the best remembered are Green Shield Stamps. Lick and stick the stamps in a saver book and choose anything from a mouth organ to a motor boat from the catalogue.
The modern-day loyalty card was born in 1995 with the hugely successful Tesco Clubcard.
It was launched after the brains behind the concept - Edwina Dunn and her husband Clive Humby - gave a presentation to the Tesco board, explaining how they could analyse data to work out the spending patterns of customers.
The reaction of the Tesco chairman of the time, Lord MacLaurin, was to say: "What scares me about this is that you know more about my customers after three months than I know after 30 years".
The modern loyalty card works with a simple trade. By handing over their card at each shop, the consumer agrees to give the retailer access to useful data - including their age, when they shop, what they buy and how often. Such detail is key for cutting costs and maximising revenue in distribution and promotion.
In return, the shopper gets discounts and special offers.
Aimia - the company that runs the Nectar card - claims:
After the Tesco Clubcard came the Nectar card, which can be used across a variety of outlets, followed by a plethora of others, including the widely used Boots Advantage card.
In fact, within 100 yards of the aforementioned Waitrose store, shoppers can pick up at least three other branded loyalty cards.
But do they attract extra custom?
A completely unscientific survey, conducted from a cafe opposite, revealed that more than half of those exiting the Waitrose store with a takeaway cup had not bought anything from the store - each representing a financial loss for the supermarket.
Waitrose recently changed the deal that had seen it give away a million cups of tea and coffee a week. Cardholders drinking their free brew at the in-store cafe must now buy a "treat" too.
Meanwhile, from 11 April, Sainsbury's will award Nectar cardholders one point, not two, for every £1 spent.
This, according to retail analyst Natalie Berg of Planet Retail, is a response to the threat from discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl. Price is more important than loyalty.
"Consumers today are promiscuous; they shop around for the best deals," she says in her blog.
"They often visit more than one supermarket on the same day and increasingly this involves a trip to the discounters. So, the idea of being loyal to a particular grocer is a thing of the past. People no longer think of themselves as an Asda shopper or a Tesco shopper.
"They are buying little, often and across a multitude of supermarket brands. Cue the death of the weekly shop and supermarket loyalty."
She says that loyalty cards, which are expensive to run, add an extra layer of complexity for shoppers who just want bargain prices.
David Black, of analysts Consumer Intelligence, says that it is only really worth customers getting a loyalty card if they are shopping in the store anyway. Comparing prices across different outlets, then buying at the cheapest, is the better money-saving option.
"Loyalty cards make an awful lot of sense for the retailers, but they are less attractive for card carriers," he says.
So does this spell the end for loyalty cards?
Their demise has been predicted for a long time. A news story on the BBC News website in 1999 was headlined "Loyalty cards losing appeal", reporting that researchers had found "a third of people preferred low prices to points or other incentives".
But Annich McIntosh, editor of Loyalty Magazine, says that whatever the disloyalty of the price-savvy consumer then and now, rewards schemes are here to stay.
She points to airlines and hotels where loyalty schemes, such as air miles, have been vital for profitability. Many women, she adds, have an "emotional engagement" with their Boots card.
What does that mean? Many customers save up their Boots reward points, she says, then use them to get a luxury beauty product to spoil themselves - something that they would not otherwise have bought.
That tends not to be the case with mildly annoying supermarket cards, with complex rules on redeeming points.
"Supermarkets rested on their laurels for a while. They have been taken by surprise by the budget stores," says Ms McIntosh.
Supermarkets still need that useful data, she says. Morrisons launched its own loyalty card scheme in October last year. Even the discount stores need data, although they buy it in from consumer research companies, rather than harvest their own from loyalty cards.
Ms McIntosh says that these cards need to become more relevant by personalising offers, rather than just rewarding bulk spending, and by embracing new technology.
It is logical to predict that instead of shoppers handing over a plastic card at the till, their smartphones will recognise they are in the store and ping over an electronic voucher for their favourite brand of tea.
A big area of growth is the use of games on smartphones to encourage young consumers to share vital shopping data.
"If you want to know from teenagers what their most-wanted item of clothing is, then engage them with a game. It really is very popular among consumers who won't be wowed with 10p off their shop," says Ms McIntosh.
Some academics argue that the end of loyalty cards would also mean the end of a rich collection of data that can be used to benefit society.
These cards provide specific detail on spending habits - highlighting the difference between what people say they do and their actual behaviour.
Professor Mark Birkin, from the University of Leeds and director of the Consumer Data Research Centre, points to the example of health and nutrition.
The consumption patterns revealed through loyalty card data may reveal how truthful consumers are about their (un)healthy eating habits.
His centre has deals with some supermarkets which provide anonymous spending data for specific research.
So, the next time city planners consider where to build roads based on travel patterns, where to target health awareness based on eating habits, and how to protect the local environment based on packaging rubbish, the chances are that the information on that plastic loyalty card found in your purse or wallet will help to inform their decisions.
If they actually do, that will be remarkably high. In 2010, fewer that 12% of voters put their cross next to anyone other than those three parties.
So it's an unusual election, which is a problem for people conducting opinion polls, as I discussed during the Scottish Independence campaign.
Why is it so much of a problem? Well, I used to think that if you were conducting an opinion poll you'd go and ask a bunch of people which party they planned to vote for and then publish their responses, but it turns out it's not as simple as that.
You do go and ask a random group of people, or alternatively you go and ask a panel of people you have selected because you think they are representative of the whole population.
But it is at that point that the tricky bit starts.
First of all, you might want to adjust your findings because you have not asked enough women, or enough young people, or enough people in the Midlands.
But your adjustment will have to be based on previous polling you have done that gives you an idea of how those people would have responded if you'd asked them.
The next question is how likely the people you have asked are to actually vote. If they're not going to vote then their opinion is irrelevant to the poll.
So you ask them how likely they are to vote and you can also ask them whether they voted in the last election, and based on their answers you decide how much weight to give their party support.
You might even weight your responses based on their other answers - perhaps you have found from previous polling that people who say they are going to support a smaller party are less likely to turn out and vote, for example.
Finally, you have to decide whether you believe the responses you have been given. There is a phenomenon known as shy voters or the spiral of silence, which is that poll respondents may not be comfortable telling you whom they plan to vote for.
The classic example of this was at the 1992 election, when Conservative voters were "shy", so the polls made support for Labour look stronger than it really was.
Professor John Curtice, the polling guru from University of Strathclyde, says that the polling company ICM has decided Liberal Democrat voters are shy ahead of this election.
It may be right. Or it may be wrong. The adjustments that pollsters make are based largely on their experiences from previous elections.
And that is why having an election that is significantly different to previous ones is a problem for opinion polls. | A man whose body was found in a flat in one of Edinburgh's most expensive streets had been murdered, police have said.

The 34-year-old was released by the Toffees at the end of last season and had been training with the Black Cats, who host Middlesbrough on Sunday.
Pienaar was signed by Moyes for Everton in 2007 and then, after a stint at Tottenham, re-signed by the Scot in 2012 for a second spell at the club.
The South African has made 199 Premier League appearances, scoring 20 goals.
There are still doubts over centre-back Lamine Kone's future with the Black Cats after the 27-year-old told Moyes he wanted to leave.
Kone, who has been offered a new contract by Sunderland, misses the game against Middlesbrough with a back injury, while fellow defender Younes Kaboul has moved to Watford.
Moyes says he is hopeful that he can keep the Ivory Coast international on Wearside despite interest from Everton.
"Obviously, we have got an offer from Everton, and he knows that as well," said Moyes.
"I don't know if he's actually refused [the contract], he just didn't want it.
"He's got a four-year contract, he's six months into it, so there's no real panic."

From June 2016, the chances of winning a Premium Bond prize will change from 26,000 to one, to 30,000 to one.
The savings rates on Direct Isas, Direct Saver, Income Bonds and the Investment Account will also be cut.
NS&I said the new rates would still be competitive with other savings rates in the market.
Direct Isa rates were previously reduced in November 2015.
"This is another serious blow for savers who like the absolute security offered by NS&I, but now face even lower returns on their cash," said Danny Cox of Hargreaves Lansdown.
However NS&I defended its decision to cut savings rates, which follows a continuing reduction in returns to savers from banks and building societies over the past seven years.
"The majority of the new interest rates on offer are either at, or above, average market rates," said Jane Platt, the chief executive of NS&I.
"We believe they present a fair offer to customers, who will also continue to benefit from our 100% HM Treasury guarantee on all holdings, as well as tax-free prizes for Premium Bonds."
NS&I has been told by the Treasury to raise less money for the government in 2016/17 than it did in the current tax year.
One reason is that it is currently cheaper for the Treasury to raise money by issuing government bonds than through NS&I.
The Mail on Sunday reported Afzal Amin plotted to persuade the EDL to announce a march against a new "mega-mosque" in Dudley North and then to scrap it and take credit for defusing the situation.
The EDL told the BBC Mr Amin wanted them "to set up a fake demonstration".
Mr Amin said the allegations were an "inaccurate picture of the reality."
Mr Amin, who is in Dubai, has issued a statement saying: "Today's allegations are part of a much wider story which has been grossly misrepresented."
But former EDL leader Tommy Robinson told the BBC's Sunday Politics that Mr Amin had sought to "use" the organisation.
The EDL went along with the idea to "expose" Mr Amin, he suggested.
The MoS claims secretly filmed footage, obtained by Mr Robinson, shows former Army captain Mr Amin allegedly promising that he would be an "unshakeable ally" for the EDL in parliament and help bring their views to the mainstream.
The paper said when it put it to him he was trying to stir up racial hatred to win the seat, he said: "That's absolutely untrue, it's utter rubbish."
The BBC understands a full disciplinary hearing is expected to be held on Tuesday.
Tory Defence Minister Anna Soubry told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I would appeal, if there is any truth in this, to him then go now, hold your head up. Because obviously if this is right this is dreadful."
And Dudley Conservative councillor Les Jones said it would be the "honourable thing" for Mr Amin to stand down.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said that winning places like Dudley North was crucial to the Conservatives: "It is a seat held by Labour's Ian Austin with a tiny majority - just 649."
According to Mr Amin's website, he grew up in the Black Country and was a mature student before spending 11 years in the Army, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As the country moves away from nuclear, the builders of coal-fired power stations are moving into action.
When Chancellor Merkel announced the closure of all the country's 17 nuclear reactors by 2022, there were loud cheers from environmentalists.
But less well heard were the cheers from the coal industry.
The organisation which represents it in Europe said the change of policy meant "the prospects for coal in general, and especially for coal-fired power plants under construction or in the planning stage, have become somewhat brighter".
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, just a river's width away from Germany, was also jubilant.
"From Poland's point of view, this is a good thing not a bad one," he said.
"It means coal-based power will be back on the agenda."
And so it is.
In a worsening economic situation, Germany's new environment minister, Peter Altmaier, who is as politically close to Chancellor Angela Merkel as it is possible to get, is emphasising the importance of not weakening the economy by increasing the cost of energy.
He is also concerned that Germany should not become dependent on imports of electricity.
To that end, he is allowing the building of more coal-fired power stations.
Mr Altmaier told Die Zeit that the government was committed to fulfilling its policy of generating 35% of the country's electricity from renewable sources in the next eight years - but that still left 65%, which would have to be generated in a different way.
He said, however, that he wanted new power stations to be cleaner than the old.
They should move away from so-called "brown coal", which is a high polluter, to lower-emission types of coal, he said.
"I think it makes sense to replace old polluting lignite coal-fired power plants with modern efficient coal and gas power plants," he said.
Gas is also a carbon fuel but it does produce lower emissions than coal.
It is also easier to turn a gas-fired power station on and off - and the role of coal and gas in the economy is to take up the slack when the sun does not shine or the wind does not blow to keep solar and wind power stations going.
But energy experts in Germany think that gas will not fill the gap left as nuclear winds down.
Accordingly, Professor Claudia Kemfert of the German Institute for Economic Research told the BBC that the use of coal in power generation could actually rise from the current 42% to about 50%.
The problem, as she sees it, is that the emissions trading market in Europe - whereby companies that put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere have to pay a price - is arranged so that the cost of emitting is too low.
"Gas-fired power plants would be a better alternative than coal as they produce less emissions," she said.
"And they can be more easily combined with renewable energy as they are more flexible."
But they are less economically efficient as carbon dioxide (CO2) prices are too low, Professor Kemfert insisted.
"Europe would need to increase the CO2 cap and reduce the amount of emissions. Then coal would be less attractive. As long this is not happening coal's share will increase even further".
There is a debate among environmentalists now about whether the move away from nuclear power will actually lead to a rise in emissions of global warming gases.
The argument is that nuclear, whatever its other drawbacks, is a low-emitter - so any carbon alternative, such as coal, must be higher.
There will without doubt be improvements in the efficiency of the economy - more output from less electricity through better machines or ways of doing things or better materials.
But that, so runs the argument, would have happened anyway - and if some coal replaces some nuclear, then emissions will have been increased compared with what would have happened without the change.
If the demise of nuclear does mean the return of King Coal to power, it is unlikely to be German coal.
They will be shining their shovels in Poland, South Africa and China, but not in the Ruhr.
In the 1950s, there were 607,000 miners in almost 150 mines, producing 150 million tonnes of coal.
Fifty years later, that had shrunk to just eight mines employing 33,000 miners who cut 18 million tonnes.
By now, it is down to about 20,000 miners - and falling as subsidies fade to nothing in the next five years.
The economics of energy are changing.
Not only are subsidies to coal going, but also to solar power.
And the political pressures change as economies slow down and people start to worry more about money.
Chancellor Merkel was a physicist before becoming a politician, so she knows both the scientific and the economic arguments.
And the indications are that she remains convinced that nuclear as a "bridge to the sustainable future" is now a bridge too far, so clearly the move away will happen.
But who will be the next "bridge to the sustainable future"?
Ordinary German people and businesses by using less electricity? Or perhaps Chinese coal miners? Or Polish, Czech and French nuclear power stations?
The road to the sunny, clean future is not as smooth as it seemed.

The vehicle was later recovered on the A338 Spur Road near to the Blackwater Junction.
Det Insp Andy Bell said: "I would also like to hear from anyone who saw a black Ford Focus with registration number BG05 OJU being driven between Westover Road and the A338 Blackwater Junction."
The Aura mission has been tracking trends in emissions of nitrogen dioxide since its launch in 2004.
It has seen big falls in the pollutant in the US and Europe, while at the same time recording significant increases in some developing nations, such as China.
NO2 is produced in large part as a result of the burning of fossil fuels.
Key sources include the tailpipes of vehicles and the exhaust stacks of coal-fired power stations.
The yellow-brown gas will, in the right weather conditions, promote the production of ground-level ozone, which is a severe respiratory irritant.
Scientists working on the OMI instrument on Aura have analysed the whole period from 2005 to 2014, and have presented their findings here at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union - the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists.
In the US and Europe, which remain big emitters of NO2, they find there has been nonetheless considerable success in constraining the problem.
Levels have fallen 20-50% across North America over the study period, and in Europe by as much as 50%.
Environmental legislation is undoubtedly behind the declines, say the researchers, together with technology improvements that have helped scrub emissions.
In a series of trend maps produced by the OMI team, the reductions are seen in blue.
The reds, on the other hand, denote increases in NO2 emissions. These are most obvious in developing nations.
A good example is China and its northern plain, which has become a major global manufacturing hub during the OMI time series.
"Nitrogen dioxide levels here have increased by 20-50% over the last decade. And the reason for this is that China's economic growth is being fuelled by its cheap and abundant coal," explained Bryan Duncan, an atmospheric scientist with Nasa.
Dig a little deeper into the data, however, and anomalies become apparent.
In China, some of the major cities have actually witnessed improved conditions. In Beijing and Shanghai, and in some of the cities of the Pearl River Delta, including Hong Kong, levels are down by up to 40%.
"This is local and regional governments working together to reduce their pollution," said Dr Duncan, "and a new affluent middle class demanding cleaner air."
Something similar is seen in southern Africa, where the Johannesburg-Pretoria metro area's emissions have bucked the rising trend of more industrial locations on the Highveld, the country's inland plateau.
And in the US, the general trend of success is contradicted in regions such as Texas and western North Dakota, where oil and natural gas exploitation has seen NO2 emissions rise.
"What's causing that increase? One is simply the heavy machinery - the trucks and all sorts of vehicles that are used in oil and natural gas extraction," said Anne Thompson, another Nasa atmospheric scientist.
"The other thing that happens is that not everything that is extracted is wanted and in a region like western North Dakota it [is] maybe the methane that comes up with the petroleum, and if they don't want it - they flare."
The scientists displayed pictures from another satellite, Suomi, which captures night-time lights. It easily picks out from space this practice of burning off unwanted gas.
The Middle East is an interesting case. Post 2005, NO2 increases are recorded in countries like Iraq, presumably because of economic growth picking up after the war years.
Conversely, declines have been seen in Syria of late. Researchers put this down to the collapse of economic activity and mass emigration as a result of the country's great upheaval. Corresponding spikes are seen in neighbouring nations, such as Lebanon and Turkey, where many of the displaced people have gone.
Omi is actually a Dutch and Finnish contribution to Aura.
European scientists are already working on its successor - an instrument called Tropomi, or "Super-Omi", which will fly on the EU's forthcoming Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite.
Pieternel Levelt from the Dutch Met Office told BBC News: "This new instrument will go to much higher resolution. That means 7-by-7km, so it's six times better. And it will also be more sensitive. This will allow us to see smaller sources."

Chris Hughton's side had avoided defeat in their opening 21 league games.
Kike's first goal since 18 August, a near-post header from Albert Adomah's fourth-minute cross, put Boro in front.
Adomah diverted in Daniel Ayala's header to make it 2-0 at half-time and Cristhian Stuani nodded in from close range after the break to seal victory.
Leaders Middlesbrough are three points clear of Brighton, who surrendered second place in the table as Derby won at Ipswich.
The home side's failure to deal with crosses proved to be their undoing, with all three of Middlesbrough's goals coming from centres into the box.
Brighton struggled to break through a resolute Boro defence, which kept their 12th clean sheet in 22 league outings this term and has not conceded a goal in any of their last six Championship matches.
Brighton 0-3 Middlesbrough as it happened
Former West Bromwich Albion striker Jason Roberts on BBC Radio 5 live: "Brighton could have been a bit more decisive. Make no mistake, they've come up against a really strong, well-oiled unit.
"(Middlesbrough head coach) Aitor Karanka hasn't shouted and screamed, he's been calm throughout and you can be when you've got a team that's only conceded 12 goals in the league.
"When you're coming up a side like that and you concede goals the way they have, it's very disappointing.
"Chris Hughton will be disappointed with the way they've gone about this game, but they need to maintain their focus because this is a team that could come very close to promotion."
News of Guus Hiddink's appointment as Chelsea manager broke during Middlesbrough's victory at Brighton, which was watched by his predecessor at Stamford Bridge - Jose Mourinho.
An agency representing the 52-year-old released a statement earlier on Saturday, which read: "He (Jose) will not be attending any high-profile games because he wants to discourage any speculation about his future."
But Mourinho did take in some Championship action later in the day and he watched Karanka - who was on Mourinho's coaching staff at Real Madrid - lead his side to an emphatic success.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:

"Middlesbrough got an early goal and an early lift. We've now conceded four goals from corners in our last three games and that is something that needs to be eradicated.
"But we were up against a very good side and it's very difficult to be too harsh on the players.
"The reaction from our supporters at the end was excellent, and I hope the impact is positive and this defeat is a little bit of a reality check that allows us to get back to winning ways."
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka:
"Jose brought us luck. We worked together at Real Madrid and it was an amazing experience.
"He is a friend of mine. I didn't tell the players that he would be watching but it wasn't a secret.
"Afterwards, he came into the dressing room to offer congratulations. He felt he had watched a really good team and he was impressed with us. He was the best and he will be the best."

The station now holds records for the longest broadcast of a single piece of music and the longest live broadcast of a single piece of music.
Richter and an ensemble of six musicians played non-stop throughout Saturday night and were broadcast live from London's Wellcome Institute.
A live audience slept in camp beds.
Listeners at home were also encouraged to sleep through the broadcast.
BBC reporter Emma Jane Kirby, who was there, said: "Like a lullaby on a loop, the musical themes were insistent and persistent - and I found myself drifting out of consciousness."
The new records were certified by Guinness World Records.
Described as a "lullaby for a frenetic world", Sleep was composed in consultation with neuroscientist David Eagleman.
Richter told BBC Breakfast: "I, personally, am very lucky that I sleep well but I know I'm quite unusual.
"We're kind of a sleep-deprived culture now, our world is very busy, we live in a data blizzard and we're on 24/7 and people sometimes find it difficult to find a space to rest and that's what this is."
The broadcast formed part of Radio 3 and Wellcome Collection's Why Music? weekend, a series of programmes linking musicians with leading scientists investigating music's role in life.
Radio 3 controller Alan Davey said: "To establish two new world records with one broadcast overnight is a shining example of what makes us so unique.
"It's rare a controller wills his audience to sleep, but I hope Radio 3 listeners enjoyed slowing down to Max Richter's Sleep. I'm grateful to Max Richter for working with us on this great project."
The broadcast will be available to listeners on BBC iPlayer for 30 days.
Before Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix, Hamilton is eight points behind team-mate Nico Rosberg with six races to go.
The 31-year-old world champion said: "It's going to take some good results to get back in front and stay there.
"But I've had plenty of those in the past there's no reason to think they won't come back to me again."
Fellow Mercedes driver Rosberg has won the last three races to turn around what had been a 19-point deficit for the German at the end of July.
Rosberg heads into Malaysia after recording probably the most convincing victory he has ever taken over Hamilton in Singapore last time out.
The 31-year-old German dominated the entire weekend and Hamilton could only finish third.
"Singapore was a difficult weekend for me, so to come away with a podium in the circumstances was pretty good damage limitation," the Briton said.
"Ultimately, Nico did an exceptional job and I didn't have my best weekend.
"But that's the way it goes. We're both fiercely competitive. Some weekends he does great, some weekends I do great.
"It's a combination of things that all come together to make a strong weekend and every one is different.
"I have no idea if the momentum will swing back to me or when it might. But we still have six races left, so I just have to keep giving it my all and hope for the best. That's all you can do as a sportsman."
Rosberg said: "I've had a good run lately and I'm enjoying the moment. But as far as the next race goes, or the next one after that and so on... it's anyone's game.
"Red Bull and Ferrari are both pushing us really hard, so there will be some tough weekends ahead."
Malaysia was one of only three races that Mercedes did not win last year, Sebastian Vettel taking his first victory for Ferrari thanks to a better strategy and tyre usage.
Mercedes can win the constructors' championship in Malaysia if they score 36 points more than Red Bull.
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "Like Singapore, this was a race where we underperformed last year, so we will need to push hard to put that right.
"We can guarantee that the drivers will be doing just that.
"This year more than ever, we've seen that they are pushing each other to new heights," he added.
"We're entering a gruelling phase of this record 21-race season, where the physical and mental challenge of a championship reaches its absolute peak.
"We're in good shape - but we must remain on our toes to get the ball over the line."
Will Tuckett's take on Tchaikovsky's Christmas ballet had been due to open on 30 November in London.
But the production has been put on hold due to a lack of funding, organisers announced.
Producer Bob Watts said: "It is with enormous regret that we are having to put the production on hold."
"It was a huge privilege to see Will Tuckett's vision come to life - his Nutcracker was shaping up to be an extraordinary experience."
He added: "I hope it will come to a London audience soon."
The immersive element of the production would have allowed audience members to become guests at the Christmas party scene in the first act and wander through the Kingdom of the Sweets in Act Two.
The production had recently changed venues and was due to open at The Printworks in London's Canada Water.
Tuckett told The Guardian: "Everyone is saying to me that it's a really good show and that it's going to happen. It's just not going to happen right now."
The writer's previous credits include a 2014 production of The Wind and the Willows, which won the best entertainment and family prize at the Olivier Awards.
All ticket holders holders are in the process of being contacted and will receive a full refund, producers said.

The Red Hands routed Derry 3-14 to 0-12 at the same stage last year.
As a player, Barton never took a backward step against Tyrone and he is demanding the same of his charges.
"Unless you are going to rise to the challenge, recognise it, react to it, there is no point in being there," said the Derry boss of the Celtic Park tie.
Barton makes no secret of the personal hurt he felt last year as two Ronan O'Neill goals and another three-pointer from Peter Harte effectively put the game to bed by half-time as Tyrone led 3-8 to 0-6.
But while some pundits feel the apparent gulf in class between the top-tier Ulster champions and a Derry team relegated to Division Three means that the Oak Leafers should be looking at damage limitation this weekend, Barton insists his players must aim for victory.
"We have to represent ourselves better than last year. I remember saying after the game that we weren't as fit, as fast or as strong as them.
"Only time will tell whether we get it right on the 28th. But certainly our focus is to win the game although it's going to be very difficult."
Sunday's match will be the seventh meeting between the counties since Barton took the Derry job in the autumn of 2015.
Tyrone have won all six encounters thus far although Barton points out that his side wasted a glorious chance to beat the Red Hands in the Dr McKenna Cup decider 16 months ago, when Mickey Harte's men eventually won the tempestuous game in extra-time.
"If we had cleared the wire in the last kick (of normal) time, we probably would have won it. That would have put a different perspective on the rest of our season, perhaps.
"But I don't really look at it that way. Every day, you have got to go out and perform. Tyrone will have to perform against us. Obviously, we will be starting as second favourites. We certainly will have to put in a big performance to beat them."
Tyrone's already strong favouritism from Sunday's match was only increased by Derry's relegation to Division Three as home defeats by Down and Cork ultimately sealed the Oak Leafers' fate despite a closing last-gasp win over Fermanagh.
Barton says both the management and players were "seriously disappointed" by Derry's demotion.
"We scored quite a bit in the league but conceded far too much. The maths tell you everything."
With a number of players making themselves unavailable to the squad, much to Barton's frustration, the manager was left with little option but to attempt to blood inexperienced performers into the side.
"Some of the younger players dipped their toe in the water. It's a step learning curve for them but they are players who want to play for Derry.
"We have been stabilised by the return of some of the Slaughtneil players (after the completion of the All-Ireland Club campaign) which is a very positive thing.
"We didn't have them until the last two league games but at that stage we were playing catch-up."
While the Spring campaign was a huge disappointment, Barton points out that his side were "within a kick of the ball" of reaching last year's All-Ireland quarter-finals as they lost out 1-21 to 2-17 to eventually surprise semi-finalists Tipperary.
"Again, we conceded too much in that game so for sure we need to get our act together at the back - particularly against someone like Tyrone."
Barton's club managerial career in three counties saw him taking charge of Ballinderry, Loup, Burren, Donaghmore and Slaughtneil, in addition to a stint as UUJ boss, but says none of those roles prepared him for the onerous task that is inter-county management.
Reading between the lines, Barton's biggest headache has been securing access to players amid the fierce inter-club rivalries within the Oak Leaf County.
"I'm delighted to hear that Croke Park is thinking about dividing the county and club seasons a little bit better because it can be very divisive - particularly this time of year.
"There are a whole lot of facets that have made it (inter-county management) very difficult. It's one of the hardest things I have ever done emotionally but you get on with it. I'm still very proud and honoured to have the opportunity."
The incident took place on the 17:52 Glasgow Queen Street to Dunblane service on Saturday 13 August.
British Transport Police said the man left the train at Stirling Railway Station following the assault.
The man was described as being in his mid-to-late 20s, about 5ft 10in tall, with short brown hair.
He was wearing a blue jumper, white T-shirt, blue/grey jacket with white shoulder panels and a grey-lined hood.
Det Con Nick Ritchie, who is leading the inquiry, said: "I am appealing to anyone who recognises the man shown in the photograph to contact me as a matter of urgency."
Two bombers blew themselves up as worshippers were coming out of the city's historic All Saints church after attending Sunday Mass, police say.
Relatives of the victims gathered at the scene to protest against the government's failure to protect them.
Militants linked to Pakistani Taliban have said they carried out the bombing.
The group, Jandullah, said it was in retaliation US drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal northwest.
Sunday's twin attacks targeted Peshawar's historic All Saints Church as hundreds of worshippers were attending Mass.
Witnesses said they heard two blasts, the second more powerful than the first.
Suicide vests were later found outside the church, officials say. More than 120 people were wounded in the bombings.
It is the latest in a series of attacks on Pakistani Christians, who represent about 1.6% of the country's largely Muslim population.
The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Pakistan says the attack has outraged many people, but there is also a sense of helplessness about the government's apparent inability to prevent such atrocities.
There were angry scenes outside the church, with friends and relatives denouncing the government.
Demonstrations were held in other cities too.
In Karachi, police fired bullets in air and tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters.
Zeynab Alshelh, a 23-year-old medical student, told Australian media she had travelled to Europe to show solidarity with local Muslim women.
Footage broadcast on Channel 7 showed local people saying they would call the police if she didn't leave.
The ban on burkinis in several French Riviera towns was overruled in August by the top administrative court.
Local mayors who brought in the laws said the full- body swimsuits were a symbol of Islam and potentially provocative after the July terror atrocity in Nice.
Ms Alshelh said she and her family travelled to France to learn more about the situation and see if there was "anything that we can do to help these girls just live a normal life".
She told the BBC's Newsday she "couldn't comprehend how it was illegal" to go a public beach in a burkini.
She went to Villeneuve-Loubet beach, where the ban had already been overturned, but "the locals decided they didn't want us there so they told us to leave, and if we didn't leave they would call the cops".
"We left because we didn't want to cause any problems
The video footage aired on the Channel 7 show Sunday Night showed a man threatening to call the police if they did not leave the beach.
Other beachgoers gestured at her or made disapproving comments.
Ms Alshelh said she didn't feel she had been "inflammatory" by going to the beach. She said she "just went as a tourist".
"I looked at the beach and you just want to swim."
Ms Alshelh had told Channel 7 that the view that Muslim women who choose to cover their hair or face are oppressed was false.
"I just find it ridiculous," she said.
"It is a symbol of my faith, it is a symbol of my religion, it is a symbol of Islam and to go out there and wear the hijab, it helps people focus on what's inside rather than what's on the outside."
Burkini creator: 'It's about freedom'
Pauline Hanson, the leader of the anti-immigration One Nation party, last week called for a ban on the burka saying that Australia was at risk of being "swamped by Muslims".
Aheda Zanetti, the Australian woman credited with creating the burkini, said the swimwear represents freedom and healthy living, not oppression.
"It is as Australian as you can get, it was born in Australia and it started off in Australia," Ms Zanetti said.
"Why would they ban something when I designed a swimsuit that was part of integration within Australian lifestyle?"
Wayne Rooney, Arsene Wenger, Jimmy Carr and Rick Parfitt were among 675 people who invested £79m in 2011 but got back £131m in relief - or £50m "tax profit".
Their money built two data centres on Tyneside that remain unused, despite assurances marketing began in 2013.
Project backers Harcourt Capital said it expected its first tenants soon.
There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by anyone who put money into Cobalt Data Centres 2 and 3, nor that they were aware they would not be tenanted and functioning within a reasonable time.
Some investors have had tax payment demands, the BBC understands.
These accelerated payment notices (APNs) - requiring an individual to pay first and appeal afterwards if they disagree - are issued by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if it believes too little tax has been paid.
Harcourt Capital said HMRC began an inquiry into the centres in 2012 but did no work on it until 2015. Some investors had been "forced" to fight HMRC demands for payment of tax and had taken the matter to tribunal and court, it added.
HMRC said it could not comment on individual cases.
The investors benefitted from generous tax allowances - intended to encourage economic growth in enterprise zones - just before these allowances were scrapped in April 2011.
These allowed them to claim 50% tax relief on the full £263m cost of building the data centres, despite their contribution being £79m. The remaining 70% of the cost was borrowed from Bank Winter in Vienna.
It means many investors received more money in tax relief than they actually paid in.
Investors contributed an average of £117,000 each, though the exact proportion is not clear. As a group they made a "tax profit" of about £50m.
This allowance - of about £74,000 each - could then be deducted from future tax bills.
The data centres are surrounded by lawn and leafy trees within sight of major companies, council offices and government departments on Cobalt Business Park on North Tyneside.
They were marketed as shells, poised to house computer servers belonging to whoever needed somewhere to put them.
A list of promised specifications included a dedicated power supply from the National Grid and security measures such as mantraps - a vestibule with two set of interlocking doors, rather than anything more brutal.
Footballers, celebrities, lawyers, accountants, doctors, dentists, board members of well-known businesses, millionaires and people involved in banking and finance were among the 675 investors.
Household names involved include Kenny Dalglish, Roy Hodgson, Terry Venables, Marouane Fellaini, Lady Elizabeth-Ann Redgrave, Arsene Wenger, Oscar-nominated producer of Harry Potter films and Gravity, David Heyman, and co-owner of T in the Park and V Festival, Simon Moran.
Comedian Jimmy Carr, who was criticised in 2012 for sheltering income using the legal but aggressive K2 tax avoidance scheme, resigned as a member of Cobalt Data Centre 2 in May. His agent has not responded to requests for comment.
Representatives of Wayne Rooney, Marouane Fellaini and David Heyman declined to comment.
Rick Parfitt's principal consultant said: "As this matter is currently under appeal it would be inappropriate to comment at this time."
Dr Redgrave said she had invested "in good faith on the advice of my financial advisor through an investment scheme".
The agent of Roy Hodgson and Arsene Wenger said his clients were "pleased to invest in government-backed regeneration programmes which will hopefully help to generate new jobs in these areas".
Mr Dalglish, Mr Venables and Mr Moran have been approached for comment.
Storage They house computer servers belonging to companies, businesses and government organisations
Connectivity High speed, specialised internet infrastructure is provided
Security Physical and virtual barriers are an essential element to protect against data theft
Safety Uninterruptible and dedicated power supplies are usually provided, along with heat, flood and fire protection
The data centres are now being marketed under the name Stellium Datacenters.
Two of the new company's three directors - Piet Pulford and Guy Marsden - are both original investors in the data centres and directors of the buildings' developer.
Project backer Harcourt Capital said the delay in letting the centres was because of a rapidly-evolving industry which had proved a "more difficult market to predict than was originally expected".
Harcourt said HMRC, by challenging enterprise zone investments, "appears to now be backtracking" on agreements made with industry in the 1990s on how enterprise zone schemes should comply with legislation.
"We are seriously concerned that HMRC's actions are treating investors who fundamentally supported successive governments' efforts to successfully regenerate derelict areas of the country extremely unfairly," it said in a statement.
This was "creating considerable stress and financial burdens on individual taxpayers", it said.
Investment in the centres attracted criticism when it was highlighted by The Guardian newspaper in 2013.
The paper quoted Margaret Hodge, then chair of the Commons public accounts committee, as suggesting their lack of tenants "fuelled the perception that the scheme was aimed at tax avoidance".
At a meeting of the Commons public accounts committee last week, Houghton and Sunderland South Labour MP Bridget Phillipson asked representatives of HMRC what progress had been made since then.
"It's unfair potentially on those people if it is a legitimate means by which you can - and should - invest, but it's not fair on the taxpayer if it takes a long time for HMRC to get to uncover quite what's going on," she said.
There was a "principle at stake" if a system set up to support regeneration and investment was "exploited by others with no interest in regeneration or investment, simply to line their own pockets", she added.
Chief executive Jon Thompson said HMRC would try to send a detailed update to the committee.
A spokesman for HMRC separately stressed that, although "morally reprehensible", tax avoidance was neither tax evasion nor illegal.
"It often involves contrived, artificial transactions that serve little or no purpose other than to produce a tax advantage," he said.
"It involves operating within the letter - but not the spirit - of the law."
HMRC has warned against promoters marketing those schemes as "wealth management products or dressed up as exciting investment opportunities".
While tax has never been simple, the difference between tax evasion and avoidance has always been clear.
Evasion is illegal - dodging taxes by failing to fully declare earnings and income. Avoidance is legal - an acceptable way of reducing your taxable income, such as saving in an ISA.
But now the government and the UK's tax authority spend a lot of energy attempting to tackle "aggressive avoidance". That is bending the rules to gain a tax advantage that Parliament never intended.
HMRC issues fines not only to individuals failing to pay this tax, but also the advisors and promoters in the background.
That is not easy when information and money can now move around the world very fast. Yet critics say the UK's tax authority is too far off the pace to satisfy the honest taxpayer.
Richard Murphy from Tax Research UK, which campaigns on tax issues, said avoidance was "tax abuse".
"The boundary between avoidance and [unlawful] evasion is simply too imprecise to be of any practical use in the management of taxpayers' affairs," he said.
In cases were investors can claim tax relief on more than they put in, there was "quite clearly a mismatch", he added.
John Bramhall, deputy chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), said it had warned players against schemes which look "too good to be true" - but they had trusted their financial advisors.
"They're professional footballers, they look to these people to give them specialist advice," he said.
He will be awarded alongside musician Lionel Richie, singer Gloria Estefan, TV writer Normal Lear and dancer Carmen de Lavallade.
The awards annually celebrate arts figures for their contributions to American culture.
LL Cool J tweeted: "To be the first rap artist honoured by the @kencen is beyond anything I could have imagined."
He added: "Dreams don't have deadlines. God is great."
At 49, he ties with Stevie Wonder as the youngest artist to receive the honour.
Set to take place on 3 December in the Kennedy Centre Opera House, this will be the first ceremony to take place under President Trump.
As is the tradition, the President and First Lady will have dinner with the honourees and a White House reception followed by a range of performances in the Kennedy Center Opera House.
LL Cool J, less commonly known as James Todd Smith, told The Washington Post: "I am blown away. This is the biggest musical award you can receive.
"To be recognised by your country, and to be able to represent hip-hop as an art form is amazing. I'm surprised, grateful, humbled and honoured."
Lear, who created 1970s sitcoms including All in the Family, told the New York Times he would not be attending the ceremony: "This is a presidency that has chosen to neglect totally the arts and humanities - deliberately defund them - and that doesn't rest pleasantly with me."
But LL Cool J said he wouldn't be put off.
"I don't have any stunts planned. I'm not saying I need to be there backslapping and all of that, but this time, this one ain't about him," he said, referring to President Trump.
He continued: "I'm not going to block my blessings or let the political divide stop me from embracing my art. I'm banking on the goodness and the optimism of people to say: 'You know what? I get it. Let this guy have this honour.'"

The meeting between Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro will be the first top-level negotiations between the two countries for more than half a century.
Mr Obama has signalled he is prepared to take Cuba off Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The two leaders met briefly at the summit's opening ceremony.
They shook hands in their first encounter since a thaw in relations began in December.
But Saturday's historic talks could be overshadowed by tensions between Venezuela and the US.
Ahead of the summit, Mr Obama told Latin American leaders that the days when his country could freely interfere in regional affairs are past.

Scenes from a warming US-Cuba relationship
The US broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1959 after Fidel Castro and his brother Raul led a revolution toppling US-backed President Fulgencio Batista. The Castros established a revolutionary socialist state with close ties to the Soviet Union.
At past Summits of the Americas, which bring together the leaders of North, Central and South America, the US has come in for criticism for its embargo against Cuba and its objection to Cuban participation.
This seventh summit is the first which Cuba is attending. Much of the attention will be focused on the body language between the former foes.
No meeting has been formally scheduled between the two leaders, but White House officials have indicated that substantive talks are almost certain to go ahead, AP reports.
The US president is expected to raise the issue of political reform in Cuba.
Meanwhile Havana is seeking an end to the US trade embargo and removal from Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Mr Obama has indicated he is ready to delist Cuba but it is not clear whether this will happen at the meeting or later.
Cuba's presence on the list has been one of the main hurdles on the way to closer ties between the two countries.
On Friday, Mr Obama and Mr Castro joined representatives from 35 nations for the summit's inauguration ceremony.
A marching band and children in national dress of the participating countries waved flags as the summit opened to applause.
The smooth progress made between Cuba and the US stands in contrast to the bumpy ride that US-Venezuela relations have experienced over the past months.
The two countries have not exchanged ambassadors for more than six years. Tensions rose last month when the US imposed sanctions on a group of Venezuelan officials it accuses of human rights abuses.
As part of the sanctions, Mr Obama issued an executive order declaring Venezuela a threat to US national security.
President Maduro has collected more than 10 million signatures demanding its repeal.
Their meeting at the summit, while less historic than the one between Mr Castro and Mr Obama, is drawing as much attention for its unpredictability.
Mr Maduro sent out mixed messages on Friday, visiting a monument to victims of the 1989 US invasion of Panama but also saying that Venezuela was at the summit "in a constructive spirit, to make history through respect".

Thomas Ford, who was 15 months old, was on a walk with his father and a sister when he picked a blackberry off a bush.
The boy, who had eaten them before, choked and was taken to hospital, where he died three days later.
His mother Serena Ford, of Stalham, Norfolk, said her family had been going through a "living nightmare" since it happened on 27 September.
Montrose replaced Elgin City in the promotion play-off places after a 1-0 win away to Berwick Rangers.
Elgin were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Stirling Albion.
Cowdenbeath remain three points adrift at the bottom after losing 2-1 at home to second-placed Arbroath while Edinburgh City are safe after beating Annan Athletic 2-0.
Last season's Lowland League winners Edinburgh won promotion to the Scottish Professional Football League after winning last season's League Two play-off final.
Former Scotland striker Craig Beattie fired the capital side in front against Annan and set up Lewis Allan for their second.
Both teams had players sent off in stoppage time, Annan's Darren Ramsay dismissed for serious foul play and City's Chris McKee picking up a second booking.
Headers from Danny Denholm, David Cox and Thomas O'Brien gave Forfar a comfortable win and left Clyde three points off bottom and above Berwick on goal difference.
Berwick fell behind to Chris Templeman's strike and could not recover.
Stirling were 2-0 up against Elgin, Darren Smith and Dylan Bikey netting, but Jamie Reid and Archie MacPhee replied for the hosts.
Shots from Steven Doris and Ryan McCord put Arbroath in control against Cowden, who pulled one back through Scott Rumsby's header.
South Sudan, in north-eastern Africa, became the world's newest country in 2011 when it gained independence from Sudan after a long-running civil war.
However, there is ongoing fighting there between the government and rebel forces, which has killed thousands and displaced millions from their homes.
Up to 300 UK troops are to be sent.
South Sudan country profile
South Sudan: What is the fighting about?
The small military team, which is the first wave of troops from Britain, will join more than 12,000 UN troops from more than 50 nations currently stationed in the country.
The UK personnel will be split into two engineer squadrons to provide "vital engineering work to strengthen infrastructure as well as further advisory support", the MoD said.
There will be further deployments throughout the rest of 2016, it added.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "The arrival of British personnel clearly demonstrates our commitment to supporting UN efforts to improve conditions in some of the world's most destabilising conflicts."
Britain has long been a large financial contributor to UN peacekeeping missions and is the fifth highest provider of funds.
But its troop commitment has been relatively small - focused mainly on 250 soldiers based in Cyprus who wear the distinctive blue berets of the UN.
Prime Minister David Cameron announced last year the UK would double its contribution to active peacekeeping in 2016, with the deployment of British troops to South Sudan, as well as a team of 70 UK personnel to Somalia.
The first British troops arrived in Somalia last month.
It was in the UK's interests to "step up" in supporting both missions because it would lead to "less terrorism, less migration, less piracy", Mr Cameron said.
British troops would not be involved in combat roles, he added.
After decades of fighting in the region that is now South Sudan, both sides signed a peace deal last August.
Opposition leader Riek Machar was sworn in as the country's vice president in April as part of a new unity government with his rival, President Salva Kiir.
However, fighting has continued, and an estimated 1.7 million people are displaced from their homes, according to the UN's latest figures.
Since the UN's South Sudan mission started in 2011, 17 peacekeeping troops have been killed.

The London 2012 heptathlon champion decided she didn't want one side of Bramall Lane to continue bearing her name if Evans was to play in front of it and made her wishes public.
Evans, 25, had served half of a five-year jail sentence for raping a woman in a hotel room in Rhyl in 2011 when he was released on 17 October. The club later withdrew its offer to Evans.
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport, Ennis-Hill, 28, talks about her decision, the online abuse she received afterwards and how her life and career have changed since she became a mother with the birth of son Reggie in July.
She also gave her view on domestic rival Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who is returning to action after a foot injury, and allegations from German broadcaster ARD that doping is rife in Russian athletics.
"I knew I was in a position where I was going to upset someone whether I said something or didn't.
"With my stand at Sheffield United and the association I have with the club, I really just wanted to voice my opinion.
"It wasn't about putting pressure on the club or anything like that - it was just simply about how I felt.
"I think people can be rehabilitated and if they have served time in jail can go back into society, but I just feel that when you are in a really privileged position it's quite different."
"It was definitely a shock. It was not very nice to read them but unfortunately that's the world we live in.
"You kind of have to keep focused on who you are and what you believe in, and try not to read too much into it.
"You can't spend hours going through your Twitter feed and reading everything every single person says to you. You need to get on with your life."
"The first training session since Reggie's birth was exciting.
"It was nice to get back to the track and to start running again, but definitely it's been a huge, huge change.
"It was weird training through pregnancy and then getting back without a bump.
"Sleep deprivation is the hardest bit. Your whole life changes when you have your first child and having sleepless nights is a real challenge... as every parent experiences. Then, having to get up and train and push your body is quite difficult. It's a huge challenge.
"It's quite hard to see where I am at the moment, having had a year away from training and missing a full winter season, but I feel it is coming back quite quickly.
"I know it will take time to build back my strength and my speed, but training is going well and if it is managed and balanced well with my coach then hopefully I can get back to a good level of fitness soon."
"It's hard getting up when you have not had much sleep but I really want to have this last push in my career. I'm looking forward to the Olympics, I really want to be there and want to be a contender and that's what keeps me motivated.
"I have two years to get the work done and get where I was. I'm still the competitive person I was and I really hope I can contend for a gold medal.
"London 2012 was fantastic and it will be very hard to top, but if I am able to get work done and get to Rio and win a gold medal having had a child, that would be unbelievable."
"Her progress has been incredible, I was gutted to see her suffer an injury in the summer. I know what that's like to have stress fractures when you are really ready to compete at your best, and the Commonwealths were going to be fantastic for her.
"She's an incredible athlete and has been for a number of years. She will be a true, true competitor for Rio 2016. It is exciting for this country and she is going to push me all the way."
"It's hard as an athlete to comprehend that - it's an incredible amount of athletes if true and it's disappointing because we train incredibly hard to win medals. If you think about people cheating, it's really frustrating."
The 2012 UK champion started with a break of 133 and clinched a place in the last 32 with a 97 clearance.
Judd Trump was 2-2 at the interval with Stuart Carrington but went through 6-3.
Northern Ireland's Mark Allen, the 2011 finalist, won 6-2 against Michael Georgiou and 2013 winner Neil Robertson beat India's Aditya Mehta 6-3.
Selby came close to making a 147 in the final frame against world number 67 Lines but, after potting 13 reds and 12 blacks, his next black wriggled out of the bottom right-hand pocket.
"I just took my eye off it," Selby said, before referring to the 147 he made in this event in 2013. "I had that in my mind and perhaps I got ahead of myself."
Trump was not at his best against Carrington, with a top break of 101 courtesy of a fluked final brown which rebounded off a corner pocket into the centre, taking him to a century.
There was something of a surprise result as Thailand's world number 51 Dechawat Poomjaeng eliminated Welshman Ryan Day, ranked 18th, 6-2.
Elsewhere, Michael Holt took a 6-2 win over Chris Wakelin with a century, Mark Joyce beat Sydney Wilson 6-2, Ali Carter saw off Welshman Daniel Wells 6-3 to set up a third-round meeting with three-time former champion John Higgins, and Matthew Selt defeated Sean O'Sullivan 6-4.
Robertson lost the opening frame against India's world number 64 Mehta, but the world number three made a 114 to establish a 3-1 lead at the interval.
Australian Robertson saw a break of 93 end in a foul after part of his clothing was deemed to have touched the black, but he closed out the match in style with a 120 clearance.
In round three he will play Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, who went 3-0 ahead against Irishman Fergal O'Brien before scraping through in the deciding frame.
World number eight Barry Hawkins, the 2013 world finalist, took the first frame but then dropped four in a row and lost 6-3 to Finnish world number 59 Robin Hull.
Scotsman Stephen Maguire, the 2004 champion, thrashed Jamie Cope 6-0, finishing with a break of 89, and David Grace beat Rob Milkins 6-2.
Jamie Jones of Wales ousted China's Xiao Guodong 6-1 and he now faces world number one Mark Selby.
But Jones' compatriot, Dominic Dale, lost 6-5 to Peter Ebdon.

Sandra Major, 61, was on a bus returning from the Apprentice Boys parade when it was attacked in Dungiven on Saturday. Four people were injured.
Her sister, Margaret Ritchie, was with her at the time of the attack.
"There was blood all over her face and glass everywhere," Margaret said. "I was hit and was knocked off my feet."
"My sister was slumped over her seat and there was a big hole in the window," she told BBC Radio Foyle.
"It was a brick that hit my sister. It was incredibly frightening.
"I shouted her name a number of times and there was no response.
"When I saw the state of her face it really shocked me.
"They had to remove glass from her face at the Ulster Hospital. She can barely speak and doesn't really remember what happened."
Ms Ritchie said her sister would have to have extensive dental work following the attack.
"We are all in a state of shock. She doesn't think she will ever go on a bus again," she said.
"We have been going to the parade for 15 years and never had any bother. There wasn't one flag, no band uniforms and no chanting on that bus.
"We can't blame the good people of Dungiven."
Fr Aidan Mullan told the BBC on Sunday that the attack was "shameful".
A 16-year-old boy arrested after the attack on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.
DUP Deputy Mayor of Belfast, Guy Spence, said: "There is no doubt that this was a very traumatic experience.
"It is disappointing and it's something we do not want to see.
"There needs to be a review as to how and why this happened.
"I'm not aware of any wrong doings on this bus or any other bus passing through Dungiven."
Sinn Fein MLA Cathal O'Hoisin said: "This is entirely unjustified and I condemn it.
"I hope Sandra makes a full recovery. I will be meeting with the police."
The Police Service of Northern Ireland's district commander Supt Mark McEwan said: "I felt disappointed.
"Between 10,000 and 15,000 were enjoying the Apprentice Boys parade and it was a successful day.
"It is incredibly unfortunate that this happened in Dungiven but we have to keep this in perspective."
Jim Brownlee, the Governor of the Apprentice Boys of Derry, said: "This attack was absolutely disgraceful.
"The police helicopter might have been better deployed in areas such as Dungiven.
"There is always going to be a negative but we should keep hold of the positives. Saturday was a very successful day in general."
Judge Dredd was created by Greenock-raised writer John Wagner and Spanish artist Carlos Ezquerra.
The comic strips have been adapted for two movies, one starring Sylvester Stallone as the futuristic lawman.
The first definitive collection of all the Dredd stories, which began in 1977, will be released in January.
The Mega Collection will include previously unpublished sketches and designs, including artwork of Dredd as a zombie by British artist and designer Brendan McCarthy.
Illustrations by Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague will also be among the previously unseen art.
London-based British comic 2000AD, which has carried many of the Dredd stories, and publisher Hachette Partworks will release the collection as a fortnightly 80-issue series.
Set in the 22nd Century, Dredd and his fellow enforcers act as judge, jury and executioner in Mega-City One - a sprawling North American metropolis of 400 million inhabitants.
Its co-creator Wagner moved from the US to Scotland when he was 12 and went on to work for Dundee publisher DC Thomson.
Later, during a spell as a freelance, he worked with Pat Mills, who went on to become a legendary Dredd writer, from a shed at Mills' home in Fife.
Among the artists to work on the comic strips have been Fort William-born Colin MacNeil and Cam Kennedy, who lives on Orkney.
Kennedy's other work included illustrating a story for Marvel which sees S.H.I.E.L.D boss Nick Fury come to Scotland to fight terrorists who had a base at the top of Orkney's Old Man of Hoy.
Last year, Scottish writer Emma Beeby became the first woman to write a Judge Dredd comic book story in the character's almost 40-year history.
The Dredd comics have been the inspiration for two movies.
Released in 1995, the film Judge Dredd had Stallone in lead role.
The script for 2012's Dredd was written by Wagner, Ezquerra and Alex Garland. It starred Lord of the Rings actor Karl Urban as Dredd and Game of Thrones' Lena Headey as the main villain. | Hundreds of Shanghai Shenua fans turned up at the city's airport on Thursday to welcome Argentina striker Carlos Tevez to China.

The Georgians, appearing in their first tournament, led 7-0 early on but had flanker Ilia Spanderashvili sent off after just eight minutes.
Irish winger Hugo Keenan had just scored when the red card was issued and his side led 20-7 at the break.
Ireland go through to the last four for only the second time ever.
They will face Argentina in the semi-finals on Monday.
Georgia raced ahead as scrum-half Vasil Lobzhanidze touched down after a line-out maul, with out-half Davit Modzgvrishvili converting to put the Georgians 7-0 up after just six minutes.
But Ireland took control soon after as Keenan raced through to score his first try of the tournament.
In the build-up, Craig Evans consulted with the TMO after instruction from his touch judge and flanker Spanderashvili was found to have kicked out at Irish second-row Sean O'Connor and Evans produced a red card.
Jonny McPhillips converted the try to bring Ireland level on points with nine minutes played.
The fly-half kicked two penalties in quick succession after Keenan's try as Ireland looked to make the most of their numerical advantage.
And McPhillips continued his scoring exploits as he grabbed Ireland's second try of the contest four minutes before the break, which he converted to give Ireland a commanding 20-7 lead.
A 54th-minute penalty from McPhillips further stretched the lead and Terry Kennedy notched the third try a few minutes later.
It took Ireland until the final play of the match to secure the bonus point victory as replacement Andrew Porter crossed and full-back Brett Connon converted to round off the victory.

Stephen McColgan, 52, had just finished dropping off pupils from Bridge of Weir Primary when he was stopped by police in the village last Friday afternoon.
He pleaded guilty to drink-driving during an appearance at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday. Sentence was deferred.
It has now been confirmed that McColgan has been sacked from his position with bus firm Gibson Direct.
The contract for the school run was granted to Gibson by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
SPT confirmed McColgan is no longer with the firm: "SPT was informed by Gibson Direct that one of its drivers had been arrested by Police Scotland on suspicion of drink driving when operating on a school contract.
"The company has subsequently confirmed that the individual in question has been dismissed.
"A full investigation is under way to determine the facts surrounding this incident paying particular emphasis to the bus company's internal procedures."
It is understood the McColgan picked up the children at about 15:00 on Friday 9 September.
He then went along his route and dropped all the children off before being stopped by police in Prieston Road a short time later.
McColgan was found to have 72 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath - the legal limit is 22 micrograms.
He was held in police custody for three nights and pleaded guilty to drink-driving at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday.
Sentence on McColgan, who is from Renfrew, was deferred and he was banned from driving and released on bail.
He is due back in court next month.
Following the incident, Bridge of Weir Primary School head teacher Carol Vallance wrote to parents, saying that she had contacted police after concerns about the driver were raised.
The letter said: "At the time it was brought to my attention that the bus driver may have been drinking.
"I immediately reported my concerns to the bus company and our community police officer who contacted traffic police."
Australia and New Zealand will contest the first day-night Test under lights in Adelaide from 27 November to try out a concept designed to boost crowds.
Pietersen, 35, told the BBC World Service's Stumped he was "not a fan".
"Test cricket is the pinnacle. Wickets change at night," he said.
"Who wants to see a new ball at certain grounds around the world at 8 o'clock at night under lights. Are you mad?"
The Adelaide Test, the last of a three-match series starting in Brisbane on Thursday, will feature a pink ball, designed to be visible under floodlights, while still allowing players to wear traditional whites.
The Kookaburra ball has drawn mixed reviews from players, with claims it does not swing as much as its red or white counterpart and is difficult to see under the lights.
Pietersen, a freelance Twenty20 player having been discarded by England last year, is more concerned by the principle of disregarding the 138-year history of Test cricket.
"Don't mess with the greatness of Test match cricket," he said.
"I speak to a lot of players in all the tournaments I play in. Who wants to face a spinner at half 10 at night or half nine at night? It's not going to spin as much; it's going to skid on.
"You've got to change all the statistics. I don't even know how many runs I got in one-day cricket but I know how many runs I made in Tests and we've got to value that in Test match cricket."
You can hear more from Kevin Pietersen on Stumped on BBC World Service at 00:30 GMT on Saturday, 7 November, or you can download the podcast.
Natalie Hage, who was travelling to Los Angeles for a photo shoot, said that in one of the texts, he wrote to a friend that the flight would not take off because of her weight.
In another, he said: "I think she ate a Mexican."
The man later apologised, saying he had had a few drinks before boarding.
Ms Hage shared the incident, which happened on Thursday, on social media. A video of the exchange has been watched more than a million times.
Ms Hage, who described herself as being "extremely flight anxious", said she had paid $70 (£54) for additional space "because I know I need a little extra leg room" but that there were only middle seats available.
"As soon as I sat down, the gentleman on my left began LOUDLY huffing, sighing, and readjusting himself in his seat," she wrote on a post on Instagram.
Then, Ms Hage said, she noticed that he was sending text messages to a friend about her.
"[The recipient] says 'Hopefully she didn't have any Mexican food' and his response is 'I think she ate a Mexican'. Then he proceeds to say he's leaving a 'neck mark on the window' because he's so smashed against the wall."
She said she asked the man on her right to change seats, telling him what had happened, but that he laughed and refused.
"This is a fat person's daily reality and not just on a plane. This is on a bus, standing in line at the grocery store, at a concert, on the internet. You can be completely in your own space, not bothering anyone, and people will still f*** with you and try to hurt you.
"All you can do is know you haven't done anything wrong just by existing and to move on."
Later, she confronted the passenger, and posted a video of it on Facebook, and the post has been liked by more than 7,000 people. In the video, he apologised. But he later said she should not sit on the emergency row as she would be unfit to help people out.
When she cited one of the messages he allegedly sent, he laughed. "Don't ever treat somebody like that again," she told him.
On Facebook, Ms Hage has been widely praised for her "courage" and for being a "brave woman".
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attacked Bradley Moore outside a McDonald's restaurant in Ashton-under-Lyne on 27 July 2016.
Seconds later, the 43-year-old was struck by Jonathan Carter's car.
Carter, 44, was given a nine-month jail sentence - suspended for two years - at Manchester Crown Court on Monday.
The teenager, found guilty of Mr Moore's manslaughter at trial in January, was sentenced to youth detention.
Found guilty of causing death by careless driving, Carter was also disqualified from driving for two years.
After the trial, senior prosecutor David Hartley said it was "unusual" for two people who did not know each other to both be convicted, but each had "independently contributed" to Mr Moore's death.
He said Mr Moore had been attacked by the boy and three of his friends outside the restaurant, who had thrown "numerous punches and kicks" before the 16-year-old "struck him with one punch which caused him to fall into the road".
They then fled, leaving the 43-year-old "lying prone" on the street and "moments later, Carter - who was having a text argument with his partner - got in his car, and drove away", he added.
Duncan Thorpe, the senior investigating officer, said Carter was "driving the wrong way up a one way street" when he ran over Mr Moore and had told police that he had "felt a bump" but thought he had "clipped the kerb or a tree".
He said Mr Moore died from multiple injuries, including over 30 chest fractures, a tear to his liver, a broken jaw and internal bleeding.
The 16-year-old also pleaded guilty to affray along with three other boys.
They were sentenced to referral orders at an earlier hearing at Tameside Youth Court.
Space World, in the southern city of Kitakyushu, had opened its aquarium-themed attraction earlier this month.
Skaters could glide over 5,000 fish frozen in the rink's ice.
The park has since encountered a barrage of criticism online, and has apologised. It also said the fish were already dead when they were frozen.
A statement on Space World's website said: "We have received a lot of opinions such as 'Using animals as entertainment and in events is bad' and 'Poor fish'. We sincerely apologise."
General manager Toshimi Takeda told the AFP news agency said the theme park would now hold a memorial ceremony for the fish.

Pictures posted on the park's Facebook page - which have since been taken down - showed some fish half-submerged in the ice with their mouths open, while others were arranged to form arrows under the ice.
The rink also appeared to have sea creatures such as rays and crabs, although the park said these were just enlarged pictures of marine life, according to reports.
The park also said it used only fish that were already dead and unfit for consumption, bought from a wholesale market.
Space World's Facebook page has been deluged with negative reviews. "What were you people thinking, to use dead fish to decorate a playground?" said one commenter who added the rink was "disrespectful of life".
Another commenter called the rink "Japan's shame".
A park representative told the BBC that the rink had been shut as of Sunday and that they were planning to take the fish out of the rink.
"We are planning to return it to its normal state," he said, adding that they were unsure when exactly the rink would re-open "but it will be in December".
The first official UK Gay Pride Rally was held in London on 1 July 1972. The date was chosen as it was the nearest Saturday to the anniversary of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which saw people protest against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Manhattan.
In 1976, a picnic was held in Victoria Gardens by the Houses of Parliament during what was then called Gay Pride Week.
In 1981 the Pride March was moved to Huddersfield for one year only, in support of the Gemini Club, which police had once called "a cesspit of filth".
In 1983 the march was renamed Lesbian and Gay Pride and in the 1990s became more of a carnival event.
Pride London was formed in 2004. Since then, a political rally has been held in Trafalgar Square straight after the parade.
The march in 1996 saw gay men make a statement about religious attitudes to homosexuality by impersonating the Pope and members of the Mafia.
This year's parade is set to be the biggest yet, with more than 300 groups marching and more floats taking to London's streets than ever before. There will also be for the first time a seated grandstand - tickets for which have already sold out.
The 2017 theme is Love Happens Here - and marks 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK.
Pride in London has issued advice for those planning to attend: "We recommend you come ready for a day of exciting parade watching.
"Bring snacks, refreshments, suntan lotion, sunglasses, a raincoat, and glitter".
The parade starts at 13:00 BST and takes a 1.4-mile (2.3km) route from just north of Oxford Circus on Regent Street, down Regent Street and through Piccadilly Circus.
It then heads down Pall Mall towards Trafalgar Square, and finishes in Whitehall at around 16:30 BST.
If you miss it on Saturday, or haven't had enough Pride, there's an event on Sunday in Vauxhall - Pride in the Park, which is run in conjunction with UK Black Pride.
The girls, aged 10 and 11, were in Mainsforth Terrace West at 16:00 BST on Friday when they were struck by a blue MGZR, Northumbria Police confirmed.
The 10-year-old suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries, the force said.
Two men, aged 28 and 29, have been arrested in connection with the collision and are due to be questioned in custody.
Officers are appealing for witness to the crash or for anyone who saw a car being driven erratically in the area to come forward.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said workers would earn less in real wages in 2021 than they did in 2008.
Other analysis shows the biggest losers between now and 2020 will be lower income families, with the poorest third likely to see incomes drop.
Chancellor Philip Hammond said millions of new jobs had been created.
Defending his Autumn Statement plans, the chancellor told Radio 4's Today programme that the government had brought job growth. It was investing for the future, preparing for a "rainy day", and government borrowing was on a "downward path", he added.
In its analysis of the Autumn Statement, the independent think tank, the IFS, said workers would earn less in real wages in 2021 than they did in 2008.
"This has, for sure, been the worst decade for living standards certainly since the last war and probably since the 1920s," said Paul Johnson, director of the IFS.
"We have seen no increase in average incomes so far and it does not look like we are going to get much of an increase over the next four or five years either."
The "outlook for living standards and for the public finances has deteriorated pretty sharply over the last nine months", he added.
Real average earnings - which factor in the rising cost of living - were forecast to rise by less than 5% between now and 2021. That forecast is 3.7% lower than was projected in March.
"Half of the wage growth projected for the next five years back in March is not now projected to happen. On these projections real wages will, remarkably, still be below their 2008 levels in 2021," Mr Johnson said.
"One cannot stress enough how dreadful that is - more than a decade without real earnings growth. We have certainly not seen a period remotely like it in the last 70 years."
The biggest impact on income in recent years, according to the IFS, has been felt by younger workers. Those aged 60 and over, in contrast, have seen living standards rise.
The squeeze on living standards could be worse during this Parliament than between 2010 and 2015, suggests the Resolution Foundation think tank. which campaigns for people on low and middle incomes.
Lower growth in pay, an accelerating rise in the cost of living, and welfare changes such as a freeze on working age benefits all combined to show that incomes on average would only grow by 0.2% a year, it said.
This compares to a rise of 0.5% during the coalition government years - a period of austerity in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
"Taking all this together we can look at the outlook for family incomes in the coming years, and it paints a grim picture," the think tank said.
Significantly, given the government's focus on "just about managing" families, the data shows that lower income families will be worse off.
The Foundation said the poorest 10% would see an income hit of more than 3% by 2020 as a result of tax and welfare policies.
"While top earners were hit the hardest following the financial crisis, the big difference looking forward is that the biggest losers are lower income families, with the entire bottom third of the income distribution set to see incomes fall in the years ahead," the Foundation said.
The Treasury's own analysis, published alongside the Autumn Statement, shows that the poorest 30% of households will see a negative impact on incomes from tax, welfare and public spending measures by 2019-20.
Primarily, this is a result of the main working age benefits and tax credits being frozen in cash terms for four years from April 2016. That includes entitlements such as jobseeker's allowance and income support.
That income freeze is forecast to coincide with an acceleration in inflation, pushing up the cost of living.
The chancellor offered some help to the lowest paid with changes to Universal Credit - the new umbrella benefit gradually being introduced across the UK.
Mr Hammond announced a reduction in the rate at which the benefit is withdrawn from people when they start work.
The Resolution Foundation report said this would have relatively little impact on family finances.
"When set against all other policy changes announced since the 2015 election, the Autumn Statement only undoes 7% of the hit from benefit cuts to the bottom half of the income distribution," it said.
Middle-income families will see some rises in income, but by no more than 1%, the Treasury documents show. The richest 10% will see the biggest hit to incomes.
More broadly, the IFS said that the OBR had forecast that national income in 2020-21 would be £30bn lower than projected in March - the equivalent to £1,000 per household.
Among Mr Hammond's announcements were:
The IFS said that Mr Hammond had clearly put whatever money he had into long-term plans.
"The clear prioritisation by Mr Hammond to direct most of what largesse he felt able to afford to paying for additional investment spending - roads, housing, research and development - to support the economy in the long run, rather than to pay to support the incomes of the "just-about-managing", or indeed public services, in the short run," Mr Johnson said.

The financial markets have reacted very strongly to the British referendum decision.
At bottom it is because investors view leaving the EU as likely to be bad for the UK economy, especially in the near future.
The International Monetary Fund warned just last week that, in the more adverse scenario it considered, the economy could contract next year.
Many other official economic organisations and independent economists also concluded that leaving would damage the British economy.
That view is disputed by many Leave supporters and some economists, especially over a longer-term horizon, but it is widely believed in the markets.
When the likely result became apparent, it was the pound that took the brunt of the storms, though there were also some sharp falls in Asian share prices. The Nikkei index in Tokyo ended down 8%.
Sterling was at one point 10% lower against the dollar.
When European markets opened, the turbulence spread. In London the FTSE 100 share index dropped by 9% before recovering partly. House builders and banks were especially hard hit with falls well in excess of 20% at the open.
They are exposed to the ups and downs of the domestic British economy. Many other companies in the index are more international and less at risk from UK developments and so they were more moderately affected.
The wider FTSE 250 index was down more sharply - the companies included in it are more UK focused.
The sharp declines also affected share prices in the eurozone, which is seen as especially susceptible to any economic fallout from the vote. Germany's main index was down 10%. In Greece the initial fall was 15%.
There has also been a wider move among investors away from assets that are seen as relatively risky towards what are known as safe havens. That's especially apparent in the market for government debt.
They have been selling the debts, or bonds, of countries with stressed government finances, such as Italy and Spain, which can have the effect of increasing their borrowing costs.
The reverse has been happening with Germany, which already pays very little to borrow money. In fact it could borrow at an interest rate of less than zero in some circumstances.
The UK government's borrowing costs have also declined. The debts, known in the market as gilts, are still seen as a very safe investment despite the concerns about the economic outlook.
There has also been a rise in the price of that oldest refuge in a financial storm - gold.
Risk aversion has also been a factor in the currency markets.
The Swiss franc is a favoured safe haven, a status that has often tended to push its value higher.
That is unwelcome to the Swiss authorities.
It makes the country's exporters less competitive. It has been happening again since the UK vote and the Swiss National Bank has intervened in the currency markets, buying foreign currency such as euros with Swiss francs.
Some of these moves in the markets have been partly, though not fully reversed.
And that has prompted London consultancy Capital Economics to pose the question: "Has the Brexit storm already passed?"
In a note to clients, the firm described the initial reaction as "knee-jerk" and wrote: "It has dawned on investors that a long period of negotiation, rather than sudden upheaval, now lies ahead."
It does nonetheless suggest that a further decline in the value of sterling may be on the way, mainly because of the response it anticipates from the Bank of England - some combination of cuts in interest rates and extra quantitative easing, both of which would tend to make sterling less attractive to international investors.
Planning permission is being sought for the facility near Downpatrick, County Down.
There would be no headstones and ordinary coffins would not be allowed, instead thousands of trees and wildflowers will be planted to create a memorial nature reserve.
People wishing to be buried there would use cardboard or wicker coffins and no embalming fluid would be permitted.
GPS technology will be used to ensure that people who want to be buried with family members can identify grave locations.
It is estimated 750 burials could be accommodated in the first phase with more later.
A group of people have come together to develop the proposal. They are called Down to Earth and include well-known artist Catherine McWilliams.
Having drawn on the landscape for inspiration in her work for years, she said: "I would like the idea of my mortal remains going back to preserve the earth and to feed the plants and flowers that grow out of it."
A buffer zone of trees will be planted to provide a natural filtration unit and protect a lough close to the site.
There is already a similar facility in County Wexford and hundreds of them in Britain.
If passed by planners the site, near Lough Money close to the village of Ballyalton, could be operation within the year.
Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Johnny Lomax tries either side of Daryl Clark's score for Warrington put Saints 12-6 up at the the break.
Jack Hughes' try for the Wire helped them close the gap to two points.
Jordan Turner then powered over for Saints, only for Ryan Atkins to set up a nervy finish with Wolves' third try.
Warrington's Rhys Evans was denied a winner by the television match official two minutes from the end, with replays showing the winger's foot had gone into touch as he crossed in the corner.
Defeat for Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium comes five days after they beat Wakefield 56-12 to book their place in the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC at Wembley.
Conversely Saints were in action for the first time in 13 days, having gone into the competition split with a 23-4 win over Wigan Warriors in the last regular season Super League game on 22 July.
St Helens' sixth successive Super league win moves them to within two points of Wigan in third.
Wolves remain a point adrift of leaders Hull FC, who host Castleford Tigers in their opening Super 8s game on Friday.
Warrington Wolves coach coach Tony Smith: "I don't want to use the short turnaround as an excuse. We were off it.
"The sharpness wasn't there. My boys tried right to the end but, if we were going to pull it out, it was going to be through individual brilliance.
"I thought St Helens were very good at getting numbers in the tackles and controlling the speed of the ruck and their kicking game better than ours. They deserved their win."
St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham: "How many Warrington games have been sat biting our nails at the end? I do think we were deserved winners.
"It was a really brave performance. In big games you've just got to find a way to win and defensively I thought we were immense.
"We started the game with zero ball and were camped on our own line and that was a common theme throughout the game.
"Sometimes you've got to win ugly games because they really count at the end.

Scotland have lost nine consecutive matches against Wales since winning 21-9 at Murrayfield in 2007.
Vern Cotter's team beat Ireland 27-22 in a the opening round of the Six Nations, but lost 22-16 to France.
"I think it's going to be one heck of a game," said former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain Bennett.
"They are going to want to beat them badly because Wales have given them some hidings over the last few years.
"Scotland are revived and Murrayfield will be packed out.
"The passion, the singing when they were beating Ireland. I haven't seen that from a Scottish crowd for a long time."
Bennett was in the Wales team that lost in Murrayfield in 1973, and came on as a replacement in the 12-10 defeat in 1975.
He was captain of the Wales team that won 18-9 in 1977, scoring one of the great tries in the history of the Five Nations Championship.
He believes Wales' coaching staff will resist calls for changes after their 21-16 home loss to England.
"I've been to Murrayfield and it's a tough place to play, so I can't see Wales making many changes," he said.
"I think the influence of Glasgow and their coach Gregor Townsend is obvious on this Scotland team.
"They're playing with excitement and flair.
"But it will be a heck of a game and it's one I'm looking forward to because Scotland won't change the way they play, they'll run it, and I wonder if Wales will take up the challenge and say 'come on. let's have a go back against them'."
Meanwhile, Scotland will be without captain Grieg Laidlaw who has been ruled out of the tournament with an ankle injury.
Andy Haldane said interest rates could "edge up" if the cost of living continues to rise.
He spoke to residents in Barry, Porth and Ely in Cardiff in the first visit of its kind in the UK.
Mr Haldane told BBC Wales certain issues like economic inactivity needed to be tackled in Wales.
He sits on the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, which is responsible for setting the interest rate in the UK.
In 2014, he was voted one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.
He said: "We need to look seriously at the possibility of raising interest rates to keep the lid on those cost of living increases.
"For now we are happy with where the rates are, we need to be vigilant for what happens next".
The visit was organised by Citizens Cymru Wales.
Issues raised included affordable housing, the living wage, mortgages, poverty and transport.
Nikki Cole, one of the residents at the meeting in Barry, said her family are finding it difficult.
"I had my son and daughter-in-law in tears last night because they don't know how they are going to manage," she said.
"I had to use my redundancy money to help them, not realising my husband was going to die a year later. For my family and friends it's extremely difficult."
Mr Haldane said transport, skills and economic inactivity were all issues that needed to be addressed in Wales.
"Do young people have the right sets of skills to find a way into the world of work? Levels of inactivity, people not involved in the jobs market, tend to be a bit higher in Wales," he explained.
"Transport infrastructure is a big question - the difficulty of getting around between areas is something of an obstacle to businesses and people in the world of work."
The tour is part of the Bank of England being more proactive in finding out what financial issues people are facing across the UK.
The man pulled out a shotgun and shot himself through the mouth beside the main altar shortly after 16:00 (14:00 GMT) - in front of some 1,500 people.
He was later named by police as 78-year-old Dominique Venner, an award-winning far-right historian.
Mr Venner had recently been involved in the campaign against the government's decision to legalise gay marriage.
On Saturday, President Francois Hollande signed the bill into law.
The police said Mr Venner had made no statement before killing himself, although a note was found next to his body. They did not disclose its contents.
Earlier on Tuesday, he had written on his blog a critique of the same-sex marriage bill.
"New spectacular and symbolic actions are needed to wake up the sleepwalkers and shake the anaesthetised consciousness," he wrote.
"We are entering a time when acts must follow words."
Mr Venner is also a former member of the Secret Army Organisation (OAS), which opposed Algerian independence in the early 1960s and tried to assassinate Charles De Gaulle.
Marine Le Pen, the far-right National Front leader, paid tribute to Mr Venner, describing his suicide as a political gesture aimed at "waking up the people of France".
The BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says Notre-Dame is the most visited landmark in France, attracting more than 13 million visitors each year, but security is relatively relaxed.
It would not be difficult to conceal a weapon in a shoulder bag, he says.
Obituary: Dominique Venner
The cathedral is celebrating its 850th year, and at the time of Mr Venner's death.
Police said the evacuation began immediately, that there were no further problems, and that the cathedral for the moment remained closed.
"It's unfortunate, it's dramatic, it's shocking," the rector of Notre-Dame, Monsignor Patrick Jacquin, told the Associated Press news agency.
This was the first suicide in decades at the cathedral, he said. A few people had jumped to their deaths from Notre-Dame's twin towers, but no-one was thought to have killed themselves at the altar before, he added.
"We will pray for this man, as for so many others at their end."
Last Thursday, a 50-year-old man with a history of mental problems killed himself with a sawn-off shotgun in front of a dozen children at a private Catholic school next to the Eiffel Tower.
The loss in Mohali, which gave India a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, was England's fifth Test in six weeks.
With the next Test in Mumbai not beginning until 8 December, a number of the England squad will leave India for a holiday in Dubai.
"We will get away, see some different scenery and come back for the last two Tests," Cook told BBC Sport.
England's two-Test series in Bangladesh, which was drawn 1-1, began on 20 October.
They then travelled straight to India where, after a draw in the first Test, Cook's men have suffered two heavy defeats.
"I think most people would agree that five back-to-back Tests in six weeks is a heavy schedule," added opener Cook, who has spent just 18 hours with his daughter since she was born midway through the tour of Bangladesh.
"I genuinely believe if we put a better standard of performance in we can put India under pressure, we just haven't done it yet."
By the end of their tour to India, England will have played seven Tests in two months and 17 in total in a 2016 that also included a run to the final of the World Twenty20 in March and April.
Their congested schedule is part of a modern trend that sees tours packed with international matches, while also including fewer rest days or warm-up games.
England coach Trevor Bayliss said: "It's been a long tour.
"The break will give the guys time to get away, refresh mentally and physically and come back ready and raring to go.
"These tours are what you've got to put up with these days. A lot of the teams are going through the same thing and a lot of the players and staff are saying the same thing - it's becoming too much."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Test Match Special
Mentally it's going to be a challenge. When you're 2-0 down and you can only draw, it's always a challenge.
The one thing in their advantage - the one thing they can grab at - is they're playing the fourth Test in Mumbai. The last two times they've been there, England have won the Test.
An NHS report said the equivalent of 41 bottles of vodka or 114 bottles of wine per adult were sold in 2014.
The Scottish government said the figures reinforced the need for minimum unit pricing.
NHS Scotland warned that increased consumption would result in higher levels of alcohol-related illness and deaths.
The figures are in contrast to a trend for declining alcohol sales seen in recent years.
They showed most of the alcohol - 72% - was bought through supermarkets or off-licences, rather than in pubs and clubs - the highest market share since recording began in 1994.
Scots continue to drink almost a fifth more than in England and Wales.
The statistics also highlighted that for the first time since 2007, the average price per unit in the off-trade has not increased and remains at 52p.
However, more than half of alcohol sold in off-trade costs below 50p per unit - the initial level proposed for minimum unit pricing.
Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said: "It's concerning that the decline in consumption seen in recent years now appears to have stalled, especially after figures published last week showed alcohol-related deaths have increased for the second year running.
"That is why we remain absolutely committed to tackling Scotland's difficult relationship with alcohol head on. In particular championing the introduction of minimum unit pricing.
"We recognise that no single measure will help change our relationship with alcohol."
She added: "Our Alcohol Framework has more than 40 measures to reduce alcohol-related harm, such as the multi-buy discount ban, increased investment in alcohol treatment and care services, increased delivery of Alcohol Brief Interventions, legislation to ban irresponsible promotions, and introduction of a lower drink drive limit.
"The Framework has had a positive impact so far, but while an average of around 22 people a week still die because of alcohol, there can be no room for complacency."
The Oxfordshire golfer, 25, shot six under-par rounds at Qualifying School in Catalunya, finishing fifth overall.
"My swing and my game got into some pretty awful habits this year," Pepperell told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I'll be keen to make sure that doesn't happen again and I can come out of this experience a better player."
Pepperell's frustrating 2016 on the European Tour saw him finish 113th on the Race to Dubai rankings, compared to his 49th position the previous two seasons.
After missing the cut in his final event of the year at the Portugal Masters, the scramble to finish in the top 25 at Qualifying School followed.
An already nerve-wracking week then became more painful when his right ankle swelled and became infected after an on-course accident with a rabbit hole.
"I fell down a hole and had a bit of an accident with my club in the process," Pepperell joked. "My ankle came off a little bit worse for wear.
"Thankfully the physio did a good job bandaging it up and we battled through the pain."
Pepperell, who finished tied 49th at The Open in 2015 at St Andrews, hopes to kick on from testing experience of Qualifying School.
"Some golfers need to have failures sometimes," he added. "For what's happened to me this year, to come out and be a better player and learn some lessons from it, will hopefully further my career."

Farouq al-Qahtani, the group's leader in the area, was killed two weeks ago in what the Pentagon described as a precision strike.
Saudi-born al-Qahtani was placed on a US list of most wanted terrorists in February.
He was said to be one of al-Qaeda's senior plotters against the US.
Saudi-born al-Qahtani, a Qatari national, was also accused of involvement in plots targeting Europe.
Afghan government spokesman Abdul Ghani Mosamem said that 15 insurgents were killed in the operation on 23 October in the province of Kunar.
Those dead included two Arabs and a number of Pakistani Taliban fighters.

Minneapolis-based Font Brothers says the manufacturer failed to buy a "special licence" to allow the font's use on its toy packaging and related services.
The company is seeking damages of $150,000 (£104,820) per infringement.
A spokeswoman for Hasbro was unable to comment.
News of the case was first reported by the Torrentfreak news site.
Font Brothers says Hasbro refused to pay the appropriate licensing fees "despite several demands for such action".
The disputed typeface is Generation B - a "playful and offbeat" font inspired by the opening titles of 1961 Walt Disney film The Parent Trap, it says.
Font Brothers charges $20 (£14) for its use on a desktop computer, but its fees rise according to the number of people likely to see it.
The font is still being used by the official My Little Pony website, whose underlying code had confirmed the designers were aware of its name..
A lawyer representing Hasbro declined to provide more information, and the company's legal team has yet to file a response to the allegations.
One lawyer said such disputes were not unusual, but seldom made it into the public eye.
"More than 99% of all intellectual property cases are settled well before they ever end up in court," said Dai Davis, a solicitor who previously represented a company whose font was used on an American clothes-maker's products without permission.
"Generally, they are less emotionally charged than 'who said what to whom' cases because they are more factually based - either someone has a unique typeface that has been taken and used, or not."
The unborn foal was identified among the remains of its mother - a 48-million-year-old horse-like animal found in Germany's Messel pit in 2000.
The mare probably fell into a lake shortly before birth - which led to outstanding preservation of the soft tissue from the foetus.
Details are published in the open access journal Plos One.
Dr Jens Loren Franzen and colleagues investigated the 12.5cm-long foetus using scanning electronic microscopy and high-resolution micro-X-rays.
Almost all bones are present and connected, except for the skull, which appears to have been crushed.
And this exceptional preservation allowed the researchers to reconstruct the original appearance and position of the foetus.
This corresponded very well with foetuses in living mares, suggesting the horse reproductive system was already highly developed during the Eocene Period.
Forensic psychology students at Abertay University are helping murder detectives working on the 1974 cold case of the body found in Norfolk.
The woman's hands were bound with string only manufactured in Dundee.
The students are scouring 1970s local reports of missing people for clues.
The woman's badly decomposed body was found in East Anglia wrapped in a National Cash Registers' (NCR) plastic sheet and clothed in a pink Marks and Spencer's nightdress.
Norfolk Constabulary, which has named the case Operation Monton, exhumed the woman's body in 2008 and obtained DNA samples.
They have traced and eliminated 470 women from across the UK who were reported missing during the 1970s.
Officers said the rope manufacturer went out of business many years ago and detailed police records do not date back as far as 1974.
Twelve students from the university are examining newspapers including the Dundee Courier and Evening Telegraph from January 1973 to January 1975.
Dr Penny Woolnough, a lecturer in forensic psychology at Abertay University, said: "Her body was wrapped in a dust sheet that connects with factories in Dundee at the time.
"The students have been reviewing local papers to see if there are any missing people or particular clues or circumstances dating back to those times that could connect to the case."
Student Amy Morrison said: "It's really exciting to get an opportunity to get involved in a murder case. It's high-profile and because it's a cold case we're gaining a lot of knowledge."
Insp Marc Lorente from Police Scotland said: "The student support to this long-term investigation is an integral part of ongoing inquiries.
"We are delighted to be working in partnership with Abertay University, and to be making good use of the students' excellent knowledge and skills base."
Yorkshire and the Humber, the Northwest and East Midlands will each get its own dedicated unit.
They will work alongside the Metropolitan Police Centre e-crime Unit which deals with national online security.
The funding is part of £30m targeted at bolstering e-crime prevention nationally over the next four years.
The new centres will consist of three members of staff - a detective sergeant and two detective constables.
The initiative was announced at the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) e-crime conference in Sheffield on Wednesday.
A training period is required before the hubs will be fully operational, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Janet Williams, who heads ACPO's e-crime efforts, said.
"These three additional policing units are going to play a critical role in our ability to combat the threat," she added.
"It is anticipated the hubs will make a significant contribution to the 'national harm reduction' target of £504m."
Harm reduction is calculated using a "harm matrix" - a system which factors in costs such as how much the criminal stood to gain, how much money was invested in the crime, and the potential cost to the victim.
"In the first six months of the new funding period alone we have already been able to show a reduction of £140m with our existing capability," Ms Williams said.
Britain's e-crime efforts were exposed last week after a conference call in which Met officers discussed operations against hackers with the FBI was itself intercepted by hackers.
Details about active investigations into hackers who identified themselves with the activist collective Anonymous were posted online.
At one point in the tape, a British detective can be heard saying: "We're here to help. We've cocked things up in the past, we know that."
The move to increase funding and reach of e-crime prevention efforts has been praised by security professionals.
"It seems to me to be a positive move towards enhancing the national response to cybercrime," said David Emm, a security researcher for Kaspersky.
"Until now, most of the police's expertise in computer-based crime has been concentrated in the Serious Organised Crime Agency and the Met.
"Clearly, the government is keen to widen the field of expertise, and this is part of that initiative."
Brown, 76, was in charge when the rivals last met competitively, losing a play-off for Euro 2000 over two legs.
He expects the Scots to feed off the noise of the Tartan Army in Friday's World Cup qualifier at Wembley.
"The passion you take for granted, but we've got to be able to play," said Brown.
"The ability is there, but not always, at the moment.
"Gordon [Strachan] is the man for the job, but he doesn't have the quality of player, they're not playing at clubs that are competing in Europe.
"When I went to England to look for players, I could get three from the champions of England - Blackburn Rovers - or Gary McAllister, captain of Liverpool.
"It's a different quality of players that Gordon has. I'm not being disrespectful, but they don't have the European experience that my boys had."
England's interim manager Southgate intends to emphasise how committed Scotland will be, given the long-standing rivalry between the nations.
Like Brown, he believes his team's display will need to match the passion of the Scots but also deliver enough quality to prove decisive.
"The history of the occasion is something I will speak to the players about because I think it's important they understand what to expect," said Southgate.
"We also have to have emotional control going into the game, so we've got to pitch that at the right level.
"It's the oldest international fixture and it's important for our players that they understand that, which I'm sure they do.
"I stood pitch-side at the last game at Wembley [a 3-2 friendly win for England in August 2013], which was a fantastic atmosphere and there's something special about those fixtures."
Brown, Scotland boss from 1993-2001, believes that with England yet to commit to appointing Southgate as the permanent successor to Sam Allardyce, they remain in a "state of indecision" that presents "a great chance" for the visitors.
On the 1999 play-off, Brown recalls how Scotland were written off after losing 2-0 at Hampden, only to win 1-0 at Wembley.
"The chemistry in the team was always very good, but it was particularly good because there was this persecution complex," said Brown, who was speaking at the launch of the North Lanarkshire Sporting Hall of Fame at Ravenscraig.
"The feeling was that it would be the end of the road for Craig [Brown] and Scotland had we not done something. We didn't manage to qualify, but we emerged with credit from the game.
"We were being slaughtered by the media - but never by the fans. The Tartan Army support was exceptional.
"We had far fewer fans than England yet made more noise. I would always say in my team meeting that it's cost these guys a fortune, not only in travel and hotels but in drink, to support this team and we must reward them with wholehearted endeavour and a result if possible.
"It was just a reminder and I would even find out from one or two guys what it cost them to go to the game."
Daley, 23, was eliminated at the semi-final stage at Rio 2016, but showed no signs of nerves as he progressed with the second highest score of 498.65.
Russia's Aleksandr Bondar was top in qualifying (509.10), while GB's Matty Lee finished fifth to make the cut.
"This year is all about enjoying diving again," Daley told BBC Sport.
"In the back of my mind always is not wanting to repeat what happened at the Olympics and I also remember how serious the whole year was so in 2017 I've been trying to keep it fun."
Lee, who scored 472.35, looks to be in career-best form, having returned stronger in 2017 after the disappointment of missing out on Rio 2016.
"I literally have no words right now after reaching the final - I'm so delighted," the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.
"I feel like a new diver - reborn after last year's disappointment and I'm more relaxed and stronger than before."

The British team have won only one medal at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest, with Lee claiming mixed 10m synchronised silver with Lois Toulson.
Daley - a bronze medallist in the synchronised 10m platform event at Rio 2016 - finished fourth in the world final with Olympic partner Dan Goodfellow on Monday.
On Saturday the diver will be looking to claim his first individual World Championship gold medal since 2009, whilst he will also compete in the mixed 3m springboard event alongside Grace Reid earlier in the day.
Bob Ballard, BBC Sport commentator
A full house of male British divers getting through to the finals of the individual events in Budapest is something to be very proud of.
Matty Lee's continuing improvement on the platform was there for all to see in the semi-final and whilst more established divers were fluffing their lines, the 19-year-old from Leeds was the model of consistency with three of the six rounds bringing him marks of over 80 and two others coming close.
If Tom Daley can just tighten up on the armstand there is a medal for him on Saturday and with the Chinese looking vulnerable, the gold is not out of the question.
Kevin Kampl gave Leverkusen an early lead but Julian Baumgartlinger's own goal levelled the score.
Julian Brandt restored the hosts' lead but Hakan Calhanoglu had a penalty saved when he could have made it 3-1.
Leipzig took advantage and Emil Forsberg ran from his own half to fire home an equaliser before Willi Orban headed a late winner.
The controversial club, who have now won six league games in a row, have became the first promoted team to go 11 games unbeaten at the start of a Bundesliga season.
RB Leipzig were founded in 2009 and, with the backing of Red Bull, won four promotions in seven seasons to reach the top flight for the first time this year.
Bayern Munich will go back to the top if they beat Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday (17:30 GMT).

Bank shares made modest gains, with Bank of America up 1.7% and JPMorgan Chase adding 1%.
Rescue volunteers reached the men via helicopter and abseiled them to safety early on Tuesday. Police said there were no injuries.
The men ventured off the designated pathway on Monday and became stuck in a crevice on the rock formation in the Northern Territory.
It is not prohibited to climb the site, also known as Ayers Rock.
However, the traditional owners of the landmark, the Anangu, ask that people "respect our law and culture" by not venturing onto the sacred site.
It is understood the men - all 23 years old - scaled down to see a waterfall but became stuck and were unable to climb back up.
Tourists are warned that the climb can be dangerous. More than 35 people have died scaling the sandstone monolith.
An emergency services spokeswoman said the "avoidable" incident would be costly with a helicopter and rock-climbing used in the rescue effort.
"They were all quite hungry but they were fine, they had sufficient water with them and weren't dehydrated," she told The Sydney Morning Herald.
"It's really important that people stay within the designated areas when they're doing bushwalks so that they don't come into harm's way."
The 22-year-old joined the Glovers from Leicester City on a one-year contract last summer and made 11 appearances in all competitions in 2016-17.
"Jonny is a good young keeper with huge potential," boss Darren Way told the club website.
"He was thrown in and had to play a major contribution. He's a fantastic character, works extremely hard and I'm sure he has a bright future."
Mujahid Arshid, 33, is also charged with the kidnap, rape and attempted murder of a woman in her 20s.
He appeared at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing alongside Vincent Tappu, 28, from Acton, west London, who is accused of kidnapping both women.
Ms Dookhran, 20, was found dead on 19 July in an unoccupied house in Kingston Upon Thames.
The court heard that Mr Arshid wished to be known as Mr Hussain and a provisional trial date has been set for 17 January 2018.
The defendants were remanded in custody and will next appear at the Old Bailey for a plea and trial hearing on 11 October.
The first 1,200 civil servants are due to leave on 30 September.
That is now uncertain due to the Stormont Executive's continuing disagreement on welfare reform and the budget.
The head of the Northern Ireland civil service said a decision will be taken at the executive meeting on 10 September.
In a letter to staff, Dr Malcolm McKibbin said he appreciated that "this timeframe is very close to the conditional leaving date" for the first group of leavers.
But he added, that if the decision is taken to proceed, staff will leave on the planned date.
The voluntary redundancy scheme was part of the Stormont House Agreement.
It was struck between the executive parties and the British and Irish governments in December.
The scheme allowed the executive to borrow up to £700m to fund 20,000 redundancies across the wider public sector.
Around 3,000 of those redundancies are in the civil service.
But, with the welfare reform part of the agreement collapsing, it is doubtful if the redundancy scheme can proceed as planned.
More than 7,000 civil servants expressed interest in the scheme and 1,200 of those have been told they can leave, depending on funding.
If the executive is not allowed to borrow the money, it would have to pay for the scheme by making cuts to day-to-day departmental spending.
Some public bodies, such as Translink, have said they will proceed with redundancy plans even if the Stormont House money is not available.
The victim was pronounced dead at the Bow Roundabout at about 16:45 GMT on Friday, the Metropolitan Police said.
The crash also involved a lorry and the driver of this vehicle has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Last month a 58-year-old man was killed in a collision with a tipper truck.
Transport for London (TfL) said at the time that he was the first person to be killed on the superhighway network.
Four priority lanes for cyclists have been painted blue around London, and another eight are due to open within the next four years.
The safety of the Bow Roundabout was questioned on Wednesday by John Biggs, a Labour member of the London Assembly.
He called on Mayor Boris Johnson to "get an urgent grip on this situation and show leadership to make our roads safe for cyclists".
"TfL have previously said that there is nothing that they can do to make the roundabout safer, without causing traffic jams.
"It is time they bite the bullet and accept longer journey times for motorists in exchange for keeping pedestrians and cyclists safe."
TfL has yet to comment on Friday's crash.
The A11 has been partially closed while investigations take place.
Up to 6,000 new homes are planned on 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of land close to the M27 in Welborne, Fareham.
The borough council voted in favour of imposing compulsory purchase orders for the land at a meeting on Monday.
The move came despite opposition from the landowners and hundreds of people living nearby.
Plans for the site also include 30% affordable housing, one new secondary and three new primary schools, health facilities, shops, offices, warehouses, play areas and allotments.
Subject to planning permission, it is hoped work on the site could start in 2019.
The 23-year-old former Denmark youth international, who has agreed a three-year-deal, replaces compatriot Thomas Sorensen, who has been released.
"This is a huge opportunity for me," he told the Premier League club's website.
"I have known of Stoke's interest for quite a while now. It was December when I first spoke to my agent about it."
Haugaard, who helped FC Midtjylland win the Danish Superliga title this season, is aware of the Potters' improvement since promotion to the top flight in 2008.
"I follow the Premier League a lot," said the 6ft 6in Dane. "I know that the club has made tremendous progress over the last couple of years.
"Mark Hughes has brought a new style of play and it is one that I like very much. I can't wait to work with him and his staff. It is a great team with a great manager, so it is an opportunity I was never going to turn down."
Stoke's first-choice keeper Asmir Begovic is still in talks over a new contract at the Britannia Stadium, while his deputy - England Under-21 international Jack Butland - signed a new four-year deal in March.
Haugaard's move comes after defender Philipp Wollscheid made his loan spell at the club permanent. | Ireland booked their place in the World Rugby Under-20 Championship semi-finals by beating 14-man Georgia 35-7 on Wednesday to finish top of Pool A.

Steven Woolfe, who had been running to be the next leader, told the BBC there was "something rotten" in the party.
He also accused fellow MEP Mike Hookem of inflicting a "blow" to his face in the row at a party meeting.
Mr Hookem has acknowledged a "scuffle" but said he "categorically did not" throw a punch at his colleague.
Mr Woolfe was rushed to hospital after collapsing following the incident, which UKIP described as an "altercation", and came during a meeting to discuss reports the North West England MEP had had discussions about joining the Conservatives.
In the BBC interview, Mr Woolfe said he had told Mr Hookem "let's go outside and discuss this man-to-man" after they clashed during UKIP's meeting in the European Parliament, saying he had been suggesting they discuss their differences verbally.
Asked what happened next, Mr Woolfe said: "He rushed at me. A blow to my face forced me back through the door."
He added: "I couldn't see whether it was a fist, whether it was an open hand... the point was it was a blow that impacted me."
Mr Woolfe said he was pushed back into the room and hit the back of his head against a wall and denied aggression towards Mr Hookem, saying: "It was too quick."
He said that while he was voting in the European Parliament later, he started getting a severe headache and sought medical help.
He said the doctors were "incredibly concerned" about him and that he was unconscious "for quite some time".
Had it not been for the medics, he said "things would have been a lot more severe for me".
According to Mr Hookem, Mr Woolfe suggested they "take it outside of the room".
Speaking to the BBC after the incident, Mr Hookem said: "When I walked in he approached me to attack me. He came at me, I defended myself. There were no punches thrown, there was no face slapping, there were no digs, there was nothing."
Mr Woolfe was seen as a frontrunner to become UKIP leader after the surprise resignation of Diane James.
However, he said he was withdrawing as a candidate and resigning from the party immediately, "with a huge amount of sadness".
He said divisions within the party had created "huge negative camps", adding: "There is a spiral that is going on that's bringing it down."
There had been some "horrific" things said about him after the row, Mr Woolfe said, describing the episode as a "horror story".
He added: "I think they've got a spiral, someone suggested that it's a death spiral, of their own making."
Only a "small handful" of UKIP politicians and officials had contacted him to ask how he was since the incident, he added.
In a statement on his website, Mr Woolfe said that, contrary to reports, he had made a police complaint about the incident involving Mr Hookem.
He added that in his view, UKIP was "ungovernable without Nigel Farage leading it and the referendum cause to unite it".
Nominations to replace Ms James close on 31 October, with the new leader announced on 28 November.
One of the contenders, Raheem Kassam, said those responsible for "negatively campaigning" against Mr Woolfe should "hang their heads in shame" and urged him to return to UKIP.
UKIP chairman Paul Oakden said he felt "sadness and disappointment" at Mr Woolfe's resignation.
He said he disagreed with Mr Woolfe's characterisation of the party, and predicted the forthcoming leadership race would showcase the "strength and depth of talent" in the party.
Rachid Lamrabet, who lives in London, denies sexually assaulting the 25-year-old at Greyfriars Kirk on 26 August 2015.
The Crown claims Mr Lamrabet, 42, engaged in consensual sexual activity with the younger man but ignored his victim when he told him to stop.
The High Court in Livingston trial is due to last five days.
The charge states that Mr Lamrabet seized the man by the body, pushed him to the ground and raped him to his injury.
Mr Lamrabet denies committing the offence, brought under Section 1 of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009.
English is not Mr Lamrabet's native language, so a Spanish interpreter has been brought in to sit with him in the dock enabling him to understand the proceedings.
The jury was read a list of agreed evidence, including a compilation video of CCTV footage taken from seven camera systems at pubs, clubs and Edinburgh's public camera network.
The film records activity in Niddry Street, Cowgate, George IV Bridge and Candlemaker Row between 04:00 and 07:00 on the day of the alleged rape.
The jury was also informed that a recording and transcript of a 999 call made to the emergency services at 06:20 on 26 August 2015 will be led as agreed evidence.
In addition, detailed maps of the area and photographs of the scene and its surroundings have been prepared to assist them.
Judge Lord Woolman told jurors that the alleged victim would give evidence on Tuesday from behind a screen.

Glasgow reported 606,117 people travelling through the airport last month, a 14% increase on the same period in 2014.
Edinburgh Airport reported a 6.8% rise, to 791,975 passengers.
For Glasgow it was the airport's 25th consecutive month of growth and its busiest March in seven years. International traffic grew by 22.3%.
This was mainly due to strong demand for European destinations, the airport said.
Domestic traffic at Glasgow grew by 8.2% with British Airways, Flybe and Loganair all reporting a strong demand for London and regional services.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "2015 has got off to a tremendous start and we are continuing to enjoy significant increases in our passenger numbers as a result of our popular and growing list of destinations."
At Edinburgh Airport, domestic passenger numbers rose by 8.7% in March to 432,935.
International traffic increased by 4.7%, with a total of 359,040 passengers travelling.
Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: "March was a strong month for us and we saw a significant increase in the number of passengers travelling through our airport."
Today, a fragile peace prevails and Eritrea faces the gigantic tasks of rebuilding its infrastructure and of developing its economy after decades of conflict.
A former Italian colony, Eritrea was occupied by the British in 1941. In 1952 the United Nations resolved to establish it as an autonomous entity federated with Ethiopia as a compromise between Ethiopian claims for sovereignty and Eritrean aspirations for independence. However, 10 years later the Ethiopian emperor, Haile Selassie, decided to annex it, triggering a 32-year armed struggle.
This culminated in independence after an alliance of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) and a coalition of Ethiopian resistance movements defeated Haile Selassie's communist successor, Mengistu Haile Mariam.
Eritrea profile - home
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
In 1993, in a referendum supported by Ethiopia, Eritreans voted almost unanimously for independence, leaving Ethiopia landlocked.
Relations between the two neighbours have proved to be uneasy, and are complicated by issues such as Ethiopian access to the Eritrean ports of Massawa and Assab and unequal trade terms.
In 1998 border disputes around the town of Badme erupted into open hostilities. This conflict ended with a peace deal in June 2000, but not before leaving both sides with tens of thousands of soldiers dead. A security zone separates the two countries. The UN patrolled the zone at one time but pulled out, unable to fulfil its mandate.
In recent years Eritrea has become one of the world's most secretive countries.
It does not have any privately-owned indigenous media, and is ranked alongside North Korea at the bottom of global media freedom rankings.
It also reportedly does not welcome foreign journalists unless they agree to report favourably about the government.
United Nations officials have complained that the country hasn't shared information about food supplies in times of famine.
When in 2011 the Horn of Africa was hit by its worst drought in 50 years and aid agencies warned that millions in the region were affected by food shortages, Eritrea denied it had a crisis on its hands.
The UN has been investigating human rights in Eritrea, but its special rapporteur has been denied entry. She has described a refugee exodus from the country as being fuelled by alleged abuses including extrajudicial executions, torture and forced military conscription. The government dismissed a UN report on human rights violations published in 2015 as politically motivated.
In recent years, Eritreans have reportedly constituted a large number of those attempting the risky crossing from North Africa to Europe by boat.
Eritrea has become a gold producer, with mining expected to become an important source of revenue and growth.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop), part of the National Crime Agency, took a year to alert police to information provided by Canadian authorities in July 2012.
The tip-offs about video purchases led to a number of investigations.
The referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission was made in 2014.
The IPCC will examine how Ceop received and dealt with the intelligence. It will also look at why the NCA took until last September to refer the case.
The intelligence about 2,345 UK individuals provided by Toronto Police under an operation called Project Spade has resulted in the jailing of Cambridge doctor Myles Bradbury, who abused young cancer patients, and Cardiff deputy head teacher Gareth Williams, who secretly filmed pupils.
Another person named was Essex deputy head teacher teacher Martin Goldberg, was found dead a day after police questioned him.
The watchdog says it is separately probing how Essex, North Yorkshire and North Wales police acted on Project Spade intelligence sent to them by the NCA.
Wiltshire coroner David Ridley recorded a "narrative verdict", which does not apportion blame to any one individual.
Earlier he said a verdict of accidental death would not "sit comfortably".
Ms Norgrove was kidnapped in Afghanistan and died during a failed rescue attempt on 8 October last year.
The 36-year-old aid worker, from Lewis in the Western Isles, was taken hostage in September 2010 and died during a US special forces operation.
A joint UK and US military investigation found that she was killed by a grenade thrown by one of her rescuers during fighting with her captors.
At the inquest in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Mr Ridley paid tribute to the courage and bravery of the US forces for attempting a rescue on that night, and to Ms Norgrove for being in Afghanistan.
He found that a bullet wound to her leg sustained during the rescue was not a contributory factor in her death.
Mr Ridley said it was easy to criticise actions from an armchair.
Giving his verdict, Mr Ridley said: "What I've drawn from this hearing is that the operative genuinely feared for the safety of the lives of his colleagues and also himself and had to make a critical decision in a fraction of a second, unaware of Linda's presence."
After the hearing, Ms Norgrove's father John said the inquest confirmed what he had previously heard at a military briefing in October.
"We think that it's very creditable of the American authorities to accept that mistakes were made and to instigate an investigation, which we've found to be very full and thorough," Mr Norgrove said.
"On the actual night in question, a series of chance events all went the wrong way, one after another after another, and there appears to have been an error of judgement by one soldier in an action which lasted under a minute.
"One tragic aspect of it at that point was that when the grenade was thrown, it would appear that the kidnappers were all dead or dying and the only person who was absolutely killed by the grenade was Linda."
On Tuesday, the first witness to give evidence was senior British officer Brig Robert Nitsch, who was involved in the joint probe.
He said the soldier who threw the grenade, identified only as TM 5, had been "shattered" by the death of Ms Norgrove.
He was the most junior member of a group sent to rescue the 36-year-old after she was kidnapped.
Brig Nitsch said the soldier was mature, experienced and had used two grenades on a previous operation.
Commenting on the attempt to rescue Ms Norgrove, the British officer said the use of grenades was "inadvisable in retrospect" but entirely understandable.
He said TM 5 had been fearful for the safety of the rest of his team.
The inquest heard that visibility was poor and the rescue team did not see Ms Norgrove until she was found dead several minutes after the start of the operation.
It was initially said she had been killed by one of her captors.
Brig Nitsch said: "The team leader, in a previous tour of Afghanistan, has witnessed an insurgent blowing himself up in front of him.
"In his mind, that is what has happened here.
"(This was) one of the contributing factors why it wasn't confirmed until later that Linda was killed by this grenade rather than by a suicide vest."
Brig Nitsch said the team leader's mistaken belief contributed to the "false information given to the family and put in the public domain".
He said during the joint investigation into the operation there was no attempt to hide what had happened. He said he was struck by the integrity of the US special forces.
The 35-year-old midfielder, who left Anfield in May after 17 years, revealed the details in his autobiography.
"I can pick up the phone and speak to all of my previous Liverpool managers, except for Rafa," said Gerrard.
"It's a shame because we shared the biggest night of our careers - the 2005 Champions League victory in Istanbul - yet there is no bond between us."
Former England captain Gerrard insists the "frostiness" made him a better player as he had "a hunger" to get a compliment from the Spaniard.
"On a basic human level I prefer a likeable manager, such as Gerard Houllier or Brendan Rodgers, but in terms of football I really don't mind working with a colder man," added Gerrard, who joined LA Galaxy this summer.
"An emotionless and distant relationship with the likes of Rafa Benitez and Fabio Capello can sometimes produce more success."
In January 2009, with Liverpool top of the Premier League, then-Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson commented that nerves might ruin the Reds' title bid.
Benitez, in a bizarre and passionate news conference, responded to this by pulling out a sheet of paper and reading out a list of accusations about Ferguson's conduct regarding referees, the FA's Respect campaign and fixture lists. Benitez backed up his points by saying "this is a fact".
But Gerrard, who played 710 times for Liverpool, was left cringing by the exchange.
"Rafa kept saying 'fact, fact, fact' and I could not believe what I was hearing," said Gerrard. "I was grabbing the couch, digging my fingers into the arms, feeling embarrassed for him.
"When I met up with England, all the Manchester United players told me Fergie was just laughing at Rafa, saying: 'I've got him, I've got him'."
Benitez left Liverpool in June 2010 and is now in charge at Real Madrid.
Fans held a minute's applause on 11 minutes to mark next Sunday's fifth anniversary of the death of Gary Speed, who played for both clubs.
Dwight Gayle pounced on a Rob Green goalkeeping error to volley home.
Leeds rallied and saw Eunan O'Kane's shot well saved but Gayle's second, from a sharp team move, sealed Newcastle's eighth win in a row.
Defeat ends Leeds' three-game winning run and leaves them just outside the play-off places.
In front of a sell-out 36,000 Elland Road crowd, these two old heavyweights evoked memories of happier top tier times with a first league meeting since 2004.
The tribute to Speed brought the two teams together briefly before a match that Newcastle controlled for the most part.
Gayle's breakthrough goal came from a swinging Jack Colback cross-shot that Green failed to cope with, the first real opportunity of the game.
The goal ignited a response from Leeds as referee Graham Scott waved away Pontus Jansson's protests for a penalty at the end of the half, and they continued that momentum early in the second period with possession and some pressure.
Yet Newcastle snuffed out the home side's hopes of snatching a point or more when sharp passing sliced open Leeds' left and Gayle turned in Vurnon Anita's cross for a second.
Leeds United boss Garry Monk told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We fell the wrong side of the critical moments, they started well in the first 20 minutes but even then we defended well and we gave them goal but after that we reacted really well.
"It was a clear cut penalty, if that goes in and we get that decision it changes the dynamic of the game and through some of the chances we just needed a goal.
"We have to respect we're playing a good side, it's alright going gung ho but we have to be smart, I thought we got to grips with it and all in all we were competitive again."
Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez told BBC Newcastle:
"I have to say thanks to every player, we could see a performance today against a good team we saw the effort, the mentality was good and the understanding of the game was very good.
"The atmosphere we were talking about as intimidating but we controlled ourselves. We knew what they could do but the players applied themselves and it's a credit to them.
"Everything we tried to do we did well, set-pieces, control of the game and counter-attack. There is room for improvement but I can't complain because we did very well."

The LP has now sold more than 4,142,000 copies, making it the seventh biggest-selling album of all-time.
Figures from the Official Charts Company show it is now 12,000 copies away from the sixth best-selling album, Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms.
"As every week goes by, another record seems to tumble in front of Adele," said spokesman Martin Talbot.
"Now, her 21 album has overtaken The Dark Side Of The Moon in the all-time biggest sellers list - and by the end of the week, it may well have overtaken Brothers In Arms, too.
"Then she will have Michael Jackson's Thriller in her sights.
"It has been an extraordinary 12 months or so for Adele, and it looks set to become even more extraordinary as the days and weeks go by."
The top 10 biggest-selling albums in the UK are:
1 - Greatest Hits - Queen - 5,864,000 copies sold.
2 - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles - 5,045,000

She has spent most of her life on a farm in rural Tennessee picking cotton and said she never had the time or money to go to a beach.
"I've heard people talk about it and how wonderful it was and wanted to see it, but I never had the opportunity to do so," she said.
Now she has been on an all-expenses paid trip to the Gulf of Mexico.
Ms Holt's holiday was funded by the assisted living centre where she lives along with a charity which grants wishes to elderly people called Wish of a Lifetime.
She said she had never seen anything as big as the ocean but kept describing the November weather as "cold".
Mark Davis, executive director of Brookdale's Sterling House, where Ms Holt lives said two employees filled out the application for her after finding out that she wanted to see the ocean for the first time.
"They did a water gun fight out in the courtyard during the summer and water got brought up, the beach, and that's what she told the girls, that she had never been," he said.
"When we got to the room yesterday she was just pointing out the ocean and, you know, her facial expressions and... she was just speechless."
Ms Holt, who has four children, said she was always too busy on the farm or working in a shirt factory to travel and that the family never had enough money.
The holiday to the beach in Alabama was the furthest she had ever been from her home in Giles County. Ms Holt said she had only left the state of Tennessee once before.
To visit the beach she travelled 400 miles - approximately the same distance as going from London to Glasgow.
She had been lent a motorised wheelchair which had been adapted to be used on sand and with the support of care workers was able to stand and dip her toes in the water.
Ms Holt said: "We don't have nothing like this in Giles County."

Norton Conyers, in North Yorkshire, inspired the classic novel after Charlotte Bronte visited and heard the legend of a mad woman confined in the attic.
It is said it is where she came up with the idea for Jane Eyre's Mrs Rochester.
A collection of documents and items from the attic have been given to the North Yorkshire County Records Office.
The house is due to reopen to visitors from 14:00 GMT on Friday.
Norton Conyers has belonged to the Graham family since 1624.
Lady Graham said: "When the public come they will see all the main public rooms and some areas which have not been seen before.
"This includes the staircase which Charlotte Bronte described so well in Jane Eyre."
Archivists are working to establish who the woman in the attic might have been from the documents found during the renovation.
Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847
It tells the story of Jane, an orphan girl who - after being shunned by her aunt and sent away to school - is appointed as governess to the ward of Edward Rochester at Thornfield Hall
Jane falls in love with Rochester but discovers he already has a wife, Bertha - a lunatic who is kept in the attic
On the verge of marrying another man, Jane is lured back to Thornfield Hall to discover it has been burned down by Bertha with Rochester blinded in an unsuccessful attempt to save his wife
With Bertha dead, Jane and Rochester are free to marry
The referee brought a halt after four minutes of the first round with Craig unable to defend himself from a series of elbows from the Australian.
Pedro dominated from the first bell, trapping Craig against the cage and connecting several times with his knee.
Craig had some success with a few uppercuts but was hurt by a right hand before Pedro finished it on the floor.
Light-heavyweight Craig had defeated Henrique da Silva in his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut in December.
Senator Ian Gorst had said at a public debate in September that he hoped five or six families would be accommodated.
Mr Gorst told the States of Jersey that he had been advised that those plans could lead to further UK-based refugees coming to Jersey under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Jersey has instead committed to providing more overseas aid.
The States heard that because Jersey did not have its own asylum process, Syrian refugees would need to come to the island through the UK's Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme.
However, Mr Gorst said that in signing up to the scheme, Jersey would have to offer the same provisions of housing and benefits to all refugees in the UK, or face challenges of discrimination under the European Convention on Human Rights.
He said: Our island would simply not have the capacity to manage the impact on housing stock, on public services, or on the work market."
Head of Jersey Calais Refugee Aid Group, Bram Wanrooij, said it was "a shame" that Jersey would not be taking in any families.
He said: "I think maybe it's an incentive for Jersey to start looking at its refugee policy for the future, because the refugee crisis is here to stay."
Jersey's Overseas Aid Commission has donated £1m since 2013 to charities working near the Syrian borders, including British Red Cross, UNICEF and Oxfam.
The amount of funding for 2016 has not yet been confirmed.
DNA from the torso matched that from Ms Wall's hairbrush and toothbrush.
Chief investigator Jens Moller Jensen said that the torso had been weighted down with metal in an apparent attempt to stop it floating.
Ms Wall was last seen alive on 10 August as she departed on a submarine trip with inventor Peter Madsen.
The submarine sank hours after the search for Ms Wall began, after her partner reported that she had not returned from the trip. Mr Madsen, who designed and built the submarine, was charged with negligent manslaughter.
He initially said he had dropped her off safely near Copenhagen, but has since said she died in an accident and that he had "buried" her at sea.
Danish police believe the 40-tonne submarine was deliberately sunk by Mr Madsen.
Traces of blood have been found inside the submarine, and they also match Ms Wall.
The remains were found on a beach south of Copenhagen on Monday.
Mr Jensen would not comment on the cause of death but said a post mortem examination was being carried out and police were still looking for the rest of her body.
As well as the metal attached to the torso, Mr Jensen said the remains were mutilated in what appeared to be an attempt to ensure that decomposition gases passed out of the body, to make it less likely to float.
Kim Wall's mother Ingrid wrote of the family's "boundless sorrow" at the news that her daughter's remains had been found.
"During the horrendous days since Kim disappeared, we have received countless examples of how loved and appreciated she was, as a person and as a friend, as well as a professional journalist," Ingrid Wall said in a family statement released on Facebook.
"From all corners of the world we have received testimony to how she was able to be a person who made a difference."
Ms Wall, 30, was reported missing by her boyfriend in the early hours of 11 August, after she failed to return from the trip on Peter Madsen's homemade submarine, the Nautilus.
A freelance journalist who had written for the Guardian, New York Times and South China Morning Post, she was researching a feature about the inventor and the Nautilus, which he built in 2008 with crowdfunding.
Emergency services scoured the area of sea to the east of Copenhagen and the submarine was eventually spotted from a lighthouse south of the Oresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Within 30 minutes the vessel had sunk and Mr Madsen was rescued.
For 10 days, the search for the journalist continued. A torso was found by a passing cyclist on a beach near Koge Bay on Monday.
Police said the next day that the arms, legs and head had been deliberately cut off. They finally confirmed it was Kim Wall in a tweet early on Wednesday.
Mr Madsen's lawyer, Betina Hald Engmark, said the news that the torso is Ms Wall does not change her client's position, which is that the journalist died in an accident. He pleaded not guilty in a closed-door judicial hearing earlier this month.

Double Olympic champion Dujardin, on her World Equestrian Games debut, added freestyle gold to her grand prix special title with a score of 92.161%.
"Riding a horse like Valegro gives you so much confidence," said Dujardin, 29.
Meanwhile, British world number one William Fox-Pitt lies second in the eventing contest ahead of Saturday's cross-country test.
Fox-Pitt and Chilli Morning look well-placed to augment a British medal haul which already includes team dressage silver, two individual titles for Dujardin and four paradressage world gold medals.
Dujardin and Valegro were well clear of Germany's Helen Langehanenberg and Damon Hill NRW, who scored 88.286% for their freestyle test, which differs from other dressage competitions in that riders set their routines to music.
"It's my third time riding that test so it's still very new," said Dujardin. "To do what I've done with it is fantastic.
"After London I didn't think it could get much better, but to go to the Europeans in 2013 and come away with two golds and now to come away with another two golds and a team silver, I just couldn't have asked for any more."
Michael Eilberg came eighth on Half Moon Delphi and Carl Hester, Dujardin's mentor, placed 12th on Nip Tuck.
Eventer Fox-Pitt and Chilli Morning impressed to score just 37.5 penalties in their dressage test, but were beaten by Germany's Sandra Auffarth and Opgun Luovo on 35.2.
"It was definitely the best test he's ever done," said Fox-Pitt - individual silver medallist four years ago - of Chilli Morning.
Nicola Wilson is the next British rider in 16th with Annie Clover. GB lie fifth in the team standings, which are also led by Germany.
Two fences have been withdrawn from the cross-country course after intense rain earlier in the week saturated the ground at Haras du Pin, a noted French national stud an hour south of Caen.
"The cross-country course is serious. It's a good track, quite hilly and certainly undulating. Add the soft ground to it and you've got a serious track."
The teenager, who was wearing a school uniform, was snatched from Marston Ferry Road in the Summertown area of Oxford on Wednesday morning.
She was driven away by two white men in a small, silver hatchback - possibly a Volkswagen.
Thames Valley Police said finding the car could be "key" to catching them.
Det Supt Chris Ward said:"[We have] received a substantial number of calls in the last 24 hours and we are currently working through the information and following up any significant lines of inquiry," he said.
The force said it was keeping an "open mind" over whether the incident was linked to any other attacks.
The alarm was raised at 08:45 when the girl did not arrive at school.
Police were called at noon to Cavendish Drive where the girl had knocked on doors, by a member of the public.
At a press conference on Thursday, it was said the girl was approached and possibly hugged, something that could have looked relatively innocent to witnesses.
"We are slowly and sensitively trying to piece together more information from the victim to aid the investigation," Det Supt Ward said.
Local police commander Supt Christian Bunt said he was putting extra patrols in place.
He added: "We will also be working closely with the local schools to provide information and support."
Motorists with dashcams or cyclists with headcams have been asked to to come forward as the attack only have happened in a "small geographical area", police said.
At the scene - Anna Browning, BBC Oxford
Two days after the abduction a police presence remains in Summertown, a suburb around a mile north of the spires of the Oxford colleges.
It's a wealthy place - house prices match London's and it is home to an artisan baker, coffee shops and a uniform outfitters which serves the myriad of private schools in the area.
"Days ago we believed this was a safe and idyllic place to bring up a family," one mother of a teenage daughter told me, "now that's changed".
Another mother, who knows the victim and her family, told how shocked they were and how violated they felt at having such a terrible thing happen so close to home.
"Everyone understands that this is such a rare occurrence, but still it's forced everyone to re-evaluate how their kids get to school. We expect our kids to be safe."
The 30-year-old midfielder will join the club in the north east of the country on 1 July.
Robertson had spent two seasons with Hibs after leaving Blackpool but left after they failed to win promotion from the Scottish Championship.
He played 41 times for the Easter Road club last season and scored six goals under manager Alan Stubbs.
Robertson, who won two Scotland caps, began his career with Dundee and moved to city rivals Dundee United.
He will be part of a squad of predominantly home-grown players under head coach Leontin Grozavu in Romania.
Robertson joins Dutch winger Quenten Martinus and Rashid Browne, defender Michael Ngadeu from Cameroon, Albanian forward Mergin Neziri, right-back Radoslav Dimitrov and goalkeeper and fellow Bulgarian Plamen Iliev among the foreign contingent.
Botosani, who play at the 12,000 capacity Stadionul Municipal, finished eighth in Liga 1 last season.
Thousands of pounds worth of items were stolen from Alexandra Mahjouri's house in Castle Donington, in Derbyshire.
The dance teacher, 27, wrote a Facebook status in response, thanking the burglars for making her "feel the real importance" of Christmas.
Ms Mahjouri also thanked those responsible for "taking our televisions - it means we've talked more as a family", she wrote.
To whoever burgled our house, thank you for making me see the real importance of Christmas - spending time with loved ones - and the imagination Christmas brings to children.
A moneybox belonging to her four-year-old son, River, was stolen as well as gifts from her late father, and the letter highlighted the hurt caused by the burglars.
"We have managed to fool my little boy that Buddy the Elf and Disney, his cat, made the mess… and have hidden them so we've got to try and find them."
"Some of the jewelry you took belonged to my dad who passed away six years ago and some were final presents he brought for me," she said.
"We feel broken, scared to be in our beautiful new home we've worked so hard for."
She continued: "We were looking forward to a first Christmas as a married couple and a first Christmas in our new house and a last Christmas as a family of three as I'm actually pregnant too.
"But you wouldn't know that as you trod on the photos of my scans whilst stealing our passports and other documents."
Ms Mahjouri, who lives with husband Andre and runs the Hannah Alexandra Academy of Dance and Performance in Derby, told the Derby Telegraph: "My son was absolutely buzzing for Christmas.
"Now he keeps crying and waking up thinking somebody is coming in the house."
Police said they were investigating the burglary.
It came out top at the World Travel Awards, which were set up by the tourism industry to recognise excellence.
Organisers said more than one million people participated in voting online for the best attraction from a shortlist of eight.
Titanic Belfast opened in 2012 at a cost of £77m and since then has had more than three million visitors.
It went forward to contest the world attraction category after winning the best European prize earlier this year.
Titanic Belfast beat other finalists, including the Las Vegas Strip and the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.
Its chief executive, Tim Husbands, said: "We are delighted that this award firmly shines a spotlight not only on Titanic Belfast but Belfast and Northern Ireland.
"With the award we hope to attract more tourists to Northern Ireland to discover it."
Manager Louis van Gaal revealed Di Maria had suffered the injury in training on Christmas Eve.
The Dutchman, whose side visit Tottenham on 28 December, does not know when his £59.7m record signing will return.
"It is not a muscle injury," he said. "It is more the pelvis does not have the right relationship with the leg."
Van Gaal added: "We will have to wait and see for the analysis."
Di Maria, 26, only returned to the United side at Aston Villa on 20 December after a three-week absence with a hamstring tear.
Of the 126 people known to be infected so far, 24 have died, with many more still severely ill in hospital.
The H7N9 virus has not, however, yet proved able to spread between people - which limits its global threat.
The threat should be "treated calmly, but seriously", researchers advised.
There is concern over both the pace and severity of the outbreak.
There has been a relatively high number of known infections since the first case was detected in April.
Prof John McCauley, the director of a World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating centre in the UK, said: "It is unusual to get these numbers."
How the virus spreads is key. As long as it can spread only from a bird to a person through direct contact it posses a relatively small risk globally - particularly in richer countries where such contact is rare. If it can spread from one person to another then the threat becomes much more potent. This has not yet happened and it is impossible to tell whether it will happen tomorrow or never.
Of those infected, a fifth died, a fifth recovered and the rest are still ill. The infection results in severe pneumonia and even blood poisoning and organ failure.
"The WHO considers this a serious threat," said Prof McCauley, "but we don't know at this stage whether this is going to spread from human to human."
So far nearly all cases have been traced back to contact with poultry. If the virus adapts to spread readily between people it will pose a much greater threat and scientists warn that the virus is mutating rapidly.
The last major bird flu, H5N1, made the jump to people in 1997 and killed more than three hundred people - yet, it is still unable to spread between humans.
Predicting which viruses will become deadly on a global scale is impossible.
Prof Jeremy Farrar, a leading expert in bird flu and the director-elect of one of the world's largest research charities, the Wellcome Trust, said H7N9 needed to be taken seriously.
"Whenever an influenza virus jumps across from its normal host in bird populations into humans it is a cause for concern," he said.
Often in pandemics older people have some immunity as they have lived longer and have been exposed to similar viruses before.
However, in this outbreak the ages of those infected ranges from two to 81.
Prof Farrar said: "That suggests there truly is no immunity across all ages, and that as humans we have not seen this virus before.
"The response has been calm and measured, but it cannot be taken lightly."
A study published in the Lancet medical journal suggests that H7N9 influenza is a mix of at least four viruses with origins in ducks and chickens.
Unlike the previous H5N1 outbreak, it is not deadly to poultry. It means it is much harder to track the spread of the virus.
A highly controversial piece of research in 2012 showed that it would take five mutations to transform H5N1 into a pandemic.
Prof Wendy Barclay, an influenza researcher at Imperial College London, said: "H7N9 might be one step closer to being able to become a pandemic than H5 is in nature at the moment."
It already has one of the five mutations when it is infecting birds.
"In people who have caught the H7 virus so far we can see [another] one of the important mutations occurring in those people in a matter of days," she said.
The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the trust that runs Llanthony Secunda Priory £3.2m to carry out the work.
The restoration is expected to take 18 months to complete, with much of the initial work focussing on groundworks and establishing drainage.
Trust chair Jeremy Williamson said the start of work on the site represented "a significant milestone".
He thanked local sponsors and volunteers and added it was the "culmination of several years' effort".
This work is being accompanied by a watching brief to ensure areas of the archaeological site are not disturbed or destroyed.
Llanthony Secunda Priory is a ruined former Augustinian priory.
It was founded in 1136 by Miles de Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford as a haven for monks from Llanthony Priory in Wales.
It feels like there's a lot of power there too, so getting energy from the waves of the sea sounds as if it's got real potential. For World Service listener Michael McFarlane, it's a question that's been on his mind for years.
"I live in Jamaica and we are never very far from the sea… Electricity generation [here] is mainly based on fossil fuels," he says.
So why isn't the ocean powering Michael's home yet?
In order to tackle this question for the World Service programme Crowdscience, first, there was a language problem to unpick.
Deborah Greaves, Professor in Ocean Engineering and Director of the COAST Laboratory at the UK's Plymouth University explains: "We've tended to use "marine renewable energy" to describe wave and tidal energy…[it's] energy which can be extracted from the movement of the oceans in the marine environment."
Large tidal power generators already exist in selected locations around the world - the La Rance River estuary plant in Brittany, France, opened in 1966, and the world's current largest tidal power station is at Sihwa Lake in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, costing 313.5 billion South Korean won (£212 million GBP or $263 million USD).
Expense is one factor that currently limits the worldwide number of tidal power plants. Environmental concerns are another, as some places with particularly strong tides are also sensitive ecosystems, such as estuaries.
And there's one more detail that's particularly relevant for listener Michael: As anyone who's been lucky enough to spend time on a beach in Jamaica knows, the tides there don't go in and out that much. It can be by as little as centimetres, compared with metres at a time in other locations around the world.
For our programme, this means we turn to wave power, which, as Prof Greaves tells us, is still in the early stages of development. "Wave energy on the other hand involves extracting the wave energy motion in a device, and there are a huge number of different approaches to how you can do this."
Out at sea, water doesn't always move as predictably as in a tide. Ocean waves are whipped up by winds, and can be all over the place, interacting from all directions. It's this irregularity and difference which means that energy can be harvested in many ways, and there are thousands of patents registered for a whole variety of different approaches.
You can get some idea from the devices' myriad of names, which include: The Limpet, the Frog, Mighty Whale, Wave Roller, Wave Dragon, the Oyster, and the Penguin. The latter bobs up and down in the sea like a real penguin does - although it looks a bit like a cartoon block of cheese - some names aren't totally representative.
But, variety and excellent names aside, what has the most potential to generate our electricity - wave or tidal? "There's more potential for wave energy in terms of the resource because the tidal resource tends to be located in specific positions round the coastline.
"So there's actually a greater potential for wave energy, but at the moment it's further off being commercially developed," says Deborah Greaves.
At the Coastal Ocean and Sediment Transport laboratory at Plymouth University in the UK, Professor Greaves oversees new wave power devices being tested in their giant Ocean Wave Basin. Over 100 cars could be parked inside the 35m long, 15m wide and up to 3m deep tank - if it weren't full of water.
And at one end, there are 24 paddles that can be individually controlled to generate waves approaching 1m in height. This means that a variety of waves can be created - from the sort of waves that you might see at the beach, to a much more mixed-up surface with different sized and timed waves from many directions, which the COAST team call a sea state.
As big as this sounds, this is only laboratory scale - it's not a patch on the open ocean, but it's where wave energy devices start out. Deborah explains: "We can only go up to a certain scale here...and so in order to really understand how your device is going to perform in the sea, and some of the additional challenges in installing it and getting it to survive in a marine environment.
"All of those things we can't test but they can be tested at larger scale at a nursery site in the sea."
FaB Test in Falmouth Bay is one such place. Heading out about a mile into the sea on a research vessel illustrated how this stage helps wave energy device developers move their models forward.
"It enables us to make sure that we have access to the devices... At the same time, this area here is providing us with very rough and extreme conditions. We have seen waves close to 10m," said Prof Lars Johanning of Exeter University, casually leaning on one leg and maintaining impressive stability whilst the CrowdScience team clung on to the boat rails and their microphones.
"In the real world as you've just experienced here... you've got waves from different directions, you've got a current, you've got wind, you've got salt water - so you've got corrosion," Prof Johanning explains.
"It's a small thing that goes wrong quite often unfortunately but it stops you from going further. Or of course then, you address it."
Prof Johanning tells us that the real challenge for wave energy devices is surviving extreme conditions. "You would like to have very nice looking waves from one direction if possible... very smooth and regular. That is not the real sea. The real sea is a bit different unfortunately so you have to overcome this. We can design for these conditions but we also have to make sure that it is cost effective."
Once safely off the boat and back in the car, we set off from the nursery site towards what we were affectionately terming as 'big school' for wave energy devices (much to our contributors' amusement). Here, standing on a glorious and very windy beach, we met Stuart Herbert, Commercial Director of Wave Hub Ltd.
"Wave Hub you can think of as a large electrical extension lead. So we have a cable which is 25km long - very thick cable - and it goes underneath the sand we're standing on and heads out to the sea and ends up about 10 miles off [the town of] St Ives," said Stuart.
Given the wind and wintry conditions, this was the closest we could get today - thankfully. Mr Herbert tells us: "[The conditions have been] as high as 15 metres in the last couple of years.
"Bigger is better to a certain extent but these devices have to survive out there… This site has an excellent wave resource and a good place where we can connect to the National Grid… There's other places like Australia, Western Ireland, Portugal, France, Spain also have very good wave resource."
So what does he think about listener Michael McFarlane's question: Could the energy of the sea provide us with all our electricity?
"What a fantastic question! And Jamaica has a good wave resource." A promising start. But what's the timeline, and could it happen?
"It has been estimated that there's more than twice as much wave energy out there than is required to power the whole world. However, capturing that wave energy, capturing this wild and unpredictable resource, is quite a challenge. It's going to take some time for these devices to get to a commercial stage where we can deploy them in multiple numbers all over the world.
"Would we ever get to a stage where we can power the whole world from wave energy? I have to be absolutely honest with you and say that's really not going to happen. There have been some estimates made that it could be 15-20% in the UK."
So, not all of our electricity then. But island communities could still make use of some wave power in the future, especially because, as Mr Herbert says, "A lot of island communities at the moment either have no power or get their power from expensive sources like diesel generators."
Michael was far from wrong in thinking that the sea appears to offer this vast resource of free power. But the challenge is making devices that can harvest the most energy from those unpredictable waves, in a cost effective manner, and survive the relentless bruising and battering of the environment.
As Stuart Herbert concludes: "Wind turbines have been around for at least 20 years... Wave energy is at least 10 years behind that. So 10 years from now I would imagine that we'll start seeing commercial arrays of wave energy devices producing really useful amounts of power."

Peter Morgan's The Audience is a very British drama, which imagines the private weekly encounters between Queen Elizabeth II and a whole series of prime ministers.
But it is being staged in Russia as relations with the UK have seriously soured.
That has turned the performance into an act of cultural diplomacy.
As a woman in a neat red skirt-suit emerges onto the set, the audience breaks into applause.
Inna Churikova, a legend of Soviet cinema and stage, has been transformed into the Queen for this lavish production.
"It started with me looking for a beautiful role for my mother," explains Ivan Panfilov, who is the show's producer as well as Ms Churikova's son.
He even bought the "Queen" some pet corgis for the role, just like the original.
But Mr Panfilov also had another agenda.
"We wanted to pay tribute and respect to the Queen and to Britain. Because no matter what happens in policy, people still find a place for each other in their hearts," he says.
There has been plenty of real-life drama in British-Russian relations lately. Moscow's envoy to the UN Security Council, Vladimir Safronkov, flung diplomacy out of the window to harangue his British counterpart in snarling, crude Russian.
Days before, UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had called off talks in Moscow and proposed fresh sanctions for Russia's policy on Syria.
But backstage at Moscow's Theatre of Nations it's a different story.
"I'm fascinated by this woman and how she got the world to bend the way she wanted," enthuses Galina Tyunina. The actor, sporting tweed and clutching a small leather handbag, is playing a Russian Margaret Thatcher.
A man marching up and down in the corridor, arms swinging, says he's practising his "David Cameron walk".
The real-life Mr Cameron was keen on doing business with Russia when he first became PM. Then came Russia's annexation of Crimea, conflict in eastern Ukraine and sanctions.
Relations headed downhill, fast.
"The tension between Russia and the United Kingdom, personally I don't like it at all," declares a remarkably life-like "Winston Churchill", complete with bow-tie, cane and jowls.
"We need to put us together. To know each other better. Definitely," actor Mikhail Gorevoy adds in English.
The "Queen" herself is openly enamoured of her character and admits to nerves despite her vast experience.
"This role is very worrying. It's a great responsibility. Because [I'm playing] the wonderful, living soul that is the British Queen," Inna Churikova explains. "I feel in love with this wonderful woman," the leading lady adds.
Not all the very British political jokes in this play make sense here, but the audience is curious and forgiving.
"It's fascinating to look at this culture. We have great respect for characters like Churchill and esteem for his statesmanship," Dmitry comments, during the first interval.
"It's far from our life and political system," Gala admits. "But England is a kind of example, for imitation."
The play's producers are hoping their Russian-British fusion can help build bridges. At the very least it is an oasis of friendship in an increasingly hostile climate.
In the last four days there has been a series of events including the Thames River Pageant, a concert in front of Buckingham Palace, and a flypast.
But some people have done their best to ignore the celebrations.
BBC News website readers have been speaking about how and why they have avoided the series of Diamond Jubilee events.
Over the weekend I went on a nice bike ride, taking a packed lunch so I don't even have to go into a pub.
In the evenings I've been painting and reading.
I have ignored the celebrations - it has nothing to do with me.
In my village street parties were planned for the bank holiday weekend, but as far as I'm concerned there is nothing to celebrate.
All this fuss has been absolute appalling.
There has been wall to wall coverage, even on the
Today
programme which I like.
Even
Gardeners' Question Time
managed to get something on the Diamond Jubilee into the programme.
Also, when there is nothing to say about the celebrations, programmes go back in history to talk about Queen Victoria and other monarchs.
I think the BBC is acting as publicity agent for the royals.
I have nothing against the Royal Family personally, it's the institution that I disagree with.
Their power is played down - they have enormous power that they lend to the prime minister of the day.
The anniversary just means that it has been 60 years of not having the right to choose our head of state - I won't even start with their costs.
There has been far too much hype about the Diamond Jubilee. I expect more from the BBC as they're supposed to give a balanced view.
There have been republican viewpoints but they have been minimal.
I have done my best to avoid any Jubilee activity.
Apart from visiting my mother-in-law who is a staunch royalist I hoped to be far from the maddening crown and the media overkill - It's been way too much.
I don't see why we're celebrating.
The whole thing has turned us all into children with all the flag waving and face painting.
It has been a miserable four days of endless details about the Diamond Jubilee - I'm sick of hearing about it all.
I need to emigrate to France or somewhere!
The Queen is just a woman who has been very lucky.
In my mother-in-law's village, people take it in turns to hold garden parties.
This year it was my mother-in-law's turn and this year it took on a greater significance with lots of bunting.
There has been no escape - I've had to sneak off to read a book.
I've been at work, finishing on Sunday, and I have avoided looking at anything Jubilee related.
I'm trying to hold back my anger at the millions of pounds that have been spent this year for the Diamond Jubilee.
How many jobs could have been saved with that money in these times of austerity?
How many lives could have been saved around the world?
We are always seeing on TV how just £5 could give a family fresh water for a week or £5 could give a child life saving medication.
There are cutbacks in our police, yet wherever the Queen decides to go on her day trips, the police overtime bill for security must run into millions.
Those millions could have kept our police in jobs and kept them on our streets protecting the public all year around and not for a fleeting visit by the Royal Family.
I am not an anarchist - when Princess Diana died I signed a book of condolence, and last year I was happy about the wedding of William and Kate.
I'm proud to be British and I have nothing against people celebrating, but I get infuriated when I visualise how that money could be better spent.
Interviews by Andrée Massiah
The scientists looked for evidence of virus infection in a group of animals called invertebrates, which includes insects and spiders.
Not only does the study expand the catalogue of known viruses, it also indicates they have existed for billions of years.
The findings were published in the journal Nature.
Few would argue that all living species on Earth are susceptible to viruses – these microscopic parasites are ubiquitous.
But virologists have long suspected that our current view of the diversity of viruses is blinkered – all too often constrained to those causing disease in humans, animals and plants, or to those that we can grow in the laboratory.
A trip to a tropical rainforest or the African savannah gives a snapshot into the incredible diversity of visible life on Earth, but understanding the potentially mind-boggling myriad of minuscule viruses has not been so easy.
Capturing new viruses is not like netting a new species of butterfly – viruses are invisible.
Undeterred by this practical problem an international team was keen to survey invertebrates for new viral species.
Invertebrates are spineless creatures and the group includes many familiar animals, such as insects, spiders, worms and snails. They represent the vast majority of animal species in the world today.
Scientists wanting to work out the totality of viral "life" – although many virologists would argue that viruses are not truly alive – are starting to adopt techniques that reveal their genetic calling cards, revealed in the things they infect.
Just like powerful new telescopes are peering deeper into space, revealing a wealth of hitherto unknown stars, next-generation sequencing techniques are providing new insight into the magnitude of the invisible world of viruses; a world we call the virosphere.
We are familiar with DNA, the "stuff of life" that makes up the blueprint of our genomes. But many viruses use a different chemical to construct their genomes – a substance known as RNA.
Just like DNA, this consists of strings of individual building blocks, or bases; each designated by a different letter: A, C, G and U.
Next generation sequencing allows researchers to quickly determine the sequence of these letters. And if you work out the order of the letters on any chain of RNA, you can determine if it belongs to a virus and whether or not the virus is new.
Its potential for virus discovery is huge.
The research team collected around 220 species of land- and water-dwelling invertebrates living in China, extracted their RNA and, using next-generation sequencing, deciphered the sequence of a staggering 6 trillion letters present in the invertebrate RNA "libraries".
When the researchers analysed this mass of data they realised that they had discovered almost 1,500 new virus species – a whopping number by any measure. Many of these were so distinct that they did not easily fit into our existing virus family tree.
Prof Elodie Ghedin from New York University, who was not directly involved with the study, told the BBC: "This is an extraordinary study providing the largest virus discovery to date.
"It will no doubt remodel our view of the virus world and redraw virus phylogeny.
"This is what happens when you combine a bold and brute force approach with the right technology and the right set of eyes."
Even though some invertebrates carry viruses that can infect humans - like zika and dengue - the study authors do not think that these newly discovered viruses pose a significant risk.
However, this cannot be ruled out entirely, and Prof Ghedin thinks that this is an important issue to address.
"If we have learned anything from these types of true discovery projects is that when we start looking into places we haven’t looked at before, we find an incredible richness that goes beyond what was suspected.
"It also makes a strong case for expanding virus surveillance to invertebrates in our quest to better understand (and predict) emerging viruses," she said.
The research also showed that throughout time viruses have been trading genetic material to create new species – an incredible feat according to Prof Eric Delwart from the University of California, San Francisco, who told the BBC: "It shows a lego-like ability of different viral functional units to be recombined to create new viruses even when they originate from highly divergent viruses. The plasticity of viral genomes continues to amaze."
Not only have these studies expanded our view of the diversity of viruses, they have also provided a more complete picture of virus history, as Prof Edward Holmes from the University of Sydney, who was involved in the study explained: "We have discovered that most groups of viruses that infect vertebrates – including humans, such as those that cause well-known diseases like influenza – are in fact derived from those present in invertebrates."
He also believes that his group's data shows that viruses have been infecting invertebrates for possibly billions of years, raising the prospect that invertebrates are the true hosts for many types of virus.
The researchers hope that next-generation sequencing can pave the way for virus discovery in a variety of other species. And it does not stop there.
Prof Delwart thinks that further analyses of existing next-generation datasets may yield additional virus species unlike any that we have seen before.
If future studies reveal anywhere near this number of new viruses, then we’ve only just scratched the surface. It seems that the virosphere is set to explode.
Jonathan Ball is a professor of virology at Nottingham University. This coming Saturday, he will be taking part in CrowdScience, the new BBC World Service science weekly, which starts with a question from listener Ian in Jordan which is "where did viruses come from?"
The e-brochure features an interactive map of Wales split into areas.
Visitors can click on one to see what kind of wildlife is there in different seasons, for example puffins on Skomer Island or dormice in north Wales.
Mr Skates said it was "astonishing" what had been achieved using a small amount of money and described it as a "very precious resource".
Speaking at the launch in Llanelwedd, he said: "We have record levels in terms of visitors but what we want to do is build on those successes, making sure people come and return time and time again.
"I'm particularly impressed by what you have done with the online resources, not just including top 10 visitor suggestions for each area but for each of the seasons. We have to ensure there's something all year round to offer tourists."
The e-brochure is available online from Monday.
They are being urged to tell the government what administrative tasks should be cut or scrapped altogether.
Launching the workload challenge for teachers, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says teachers must be liberated from "burdensome workloads".
Mr Clegg says teachers should be freed to spend more time in the classroom.
Mr Clegg hits out at the "misguided impression" that teaching is a career built on short days and long holidays.
In a speech to an audience of public sector workers on Wednesday, Mr Clegg will say: "Talk to a teacher and they'll tell you about their working week of 50 hours or more.
"They'll also tell you how much of this time they feel is wasted on unnecessary processes, box-ticking and form-filling.
"We're talking about hours spent struggling to stay on top of piles of incident reports, over-detailed lesson plan templates, health and safety forms, departmental updates, training requests and so on that threaten to engulf them every week.
"Not to mention the reams of additional evidence which teachers pull together because of a long-held belief that Ofsted inspectors want to see everything written down."
Mr Clegg will say that while some of this work is unavoidable, it is time to "stop that runaway train of bureaucracy in its tracks, giving our teachers more time to do what they do best - creating and planning the best possible lessons and experiences for our children".
Teachers are being invited to submit their thoughts on workload via a page on the Times Educational Supplement (TES) website.
Ministers promise to put the best ideas into action early next year.
His announcement was welcomed by the teaching unions.
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "We are pleased that government is listening to us. We will need to see real and significant change. It is desperately needed."
Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said: "ATL is pleased the coalition government is finally taking teachers' workloads seriously.
"It is a tragedy that for so long teachers and school leaders have felt pressurised into doing tasks which do nothing to improve children's education."
But shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said Mr Clegg could not be trusted as he is "part of the government that has denigrated the professionalism of teachers".
"His attempts to distance himself from his own government's dismal record on teacher workload will be met with great scepticism and the teaching profession will be right to hold him to account for the decisions that he has taken."
Mr Clegg's announcement follows Education Secretary Nicky Morgan's olive branch to the teaching profession last month, when she promised to reduce teacher workload.
Speaking to the Conservative party conference, she said it would be her priority to "reduce the overall burden on teachers". | A UKIP MEP who spent three nights in hospital after a row with a party colleague is quitting the party, saying it is in a "death spiral".

The departure of Bevington, who was appointed in March, comes a month after David Bernstein and Lord King resigned from the club's board.
Villa, who finished bottom of the Premier League, were relegated to the Championship in April.
Owner Randy Lerner has been seeking a buyer for the club since May 2014.
The club are also awaiting to appoint a new manager after the sacking of Remi Garde in March.
Bevington said he told chairman Steve Hollis that he would not be taking on a full-time role with the club.
"I know how hard Steve is working on a number of levels and I hope he can conclude the ownership and managerial positions very soon," Bevington said in a statement.
"There is a huge amount of work ahead for Aston Villa. A club of its size with its great support should be competing at the higher levels of the Premier League, not in the position it currently finds itself.
"To move forward, now more than ever, it is crucial the club makes the right calls on the big decisions it is faced with."

The 45-year-old woman was found in a "seriously ill" state, according to police, who were called to The Avenue, Gurnard, shortly after 16:10 GMT on Thursday.
She was taken to St Mary's Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Hampshire Constabulary said a 60-year-old man from Sandown was being held on suspicion of murder.
Unite members were set to stage three walkouts later this month in a dispute over the closure of a final-salary pension scheme.
The union said it was not recommending the deal to workers at the Oxford, Goodwood near Chichester, Hams Hall and Swindon plants.
BMW said it believed the offer was "fair".
Staff at the sites have already held four strikes - the first ever by BMW employees in Britain.
The union's national officer for BMW, Fred Hanna, said it was not recommending the new offer "as it will have different outcomes for different people and their pensions".
He added: "Members should be proud that by standing together they have forced BMW into making this offer.
"Without the action that Unite members have taken and the resolve they have shown in recent weeks, BMW would not have made this latest offer."
According to BMW, 67% of those affected by the changes who were eligible to vote backed the action.
A company spokesman said: "The company is keeping all staff fully informed and we await further feedback from Unite following its ballot.
"We believe the offer to be fair and in the long-term interests of both the company and all our employees."
The ballot is expected to run from 24 May to 9 June.
The Brexit committee said ministers' claim that "no deal is better than a bad deal" was "unsubstantiated" until an economic assessment was published.
But the report divided the cross-party committee, with some members saying it was too pessimistic about Brexit.
The government said it was "preparing for all potential outcomes".
Prime Minister Theresa May has formally triggered Brexit using Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, with the UK due to leave in March 2019.
The Brexit committee's report assesses the government's objectives for the negotiations that are to come over the next two years, as set out in a white paper in February.
A total of 12 principles were set out, including migration control and "taking control of our own laws".
The report said it was important to avoid no deal being reached, saying: "The government has talked about walking away from a bad deal, but has not yet explained what terms would be demonstrably worse for the UK than 'no deal'."
It called for a "thorough assessment of the economic, legal and other implications" to be published, adding: "Without an economic assessment of 'no deal' having been done and without evidence that steps are being taken to mitigate what would be the damaging effect of such an outcome, the government's assertion that 'no deal is better than a bad deal' is unsubstantiated."
The MPs said it said it was "essential" for Parliament to get a vote on whether to proceed if no deal was reached.
Labour MP Hilary Benn, who chairs the committee, said the government was right to push for both negotiations on a new trade deal and separation talks to take place at the same time.
But he said ministers had to be prepared for "the worst case", given the "particularly tight" timescale.
The committee said it was possible that the current "convergence" between the UK and EU would mean talks could move more quickly than previous negotiations, but added: "It is not yet evident, however, that the two-year timetable for achieving this is realistic."
The report looks at different aspects of the EU talks, saying the status of EU nationals "cannot be left unresolved" until the end of talks and warning new migration controls should not damage the economy.
It also says the government has to recognise "differences in the negotiating priorities of the different parts of the UK".
Some MPs walked out of a private meeting of the committee as the report was being finalised, saying it was too "gloomy", and six MPs voted against it, with 10 backing its publication.
Five Conservatives - including former ministers John Whittingdale and Dominic Raab - and Democratic Unionist Sammy Wilson voted against the report, but were outnumbered by 10 Labour, Tory, Liberal Democrat, SNP and SDLP committee members, all of whom backed Remain in last year's referendum.
Mr Whittingdale said he thought the report was "unduly negative" and had "very much concentrated on the problems without really recognising the opportunities" of Brexit, and Mr Raab added: "The report was rushed, skewed and partisan. After two reports that had strong support, it's regrettable that this one split the committee.
"That undermines its credibility and influence, but I hope and expect the committee will learn the right lessons as we move forward."
But Lib Dem committee member Alistair Carmichael said the report was "a devastating critique of the shambles that is the Conservative Brexit strategy".
Brexit Secretary David Davis said: "We are confident that such an outcome is in the interests of both sides. However, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached, and that is exactly what we are doing.
"We have also been analysing the impact of different scenarios on different sectors of the economy.
"We are clear that no deal is not what we want or expect, but that it would be better than a deal which sought to punish the UK."
The eligibility rules will be broadly the same as for a general election, rather than local or European votes.
Irish citizens in the UK are eligible. Residents from two other EU nations, Malta and Cyprus, also qualify, along with others from the Commonwealth.
The SNP's Humza Yousaf said excluding other EU citizens risked entering "into the rhetoric of division".
He urged the government to rethink eligibility rules.
David Cameron is to hold talks with the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker at Chequers later.
Legislation for the voting eligibility of the referendum - which the Conservatives have promised to hold before the end of 2017 - will be introduced to Parliament via the EU Referendum Bill on Thursday.
The Bill will make clear that the franchise will follow broadly the same rules as the general election:
A Number 10 source said: "No Brit under the age of 58 has had their say on the UK's membership of the European Union.
"It is time to put this right and to give people the choice - in or out.
"This is a big decision for our country, one that is about the future of the United Kingdom. That's why we think it's important that it is British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens that are the ones who get to decide."
Eurosceptics have previously claimed that as many as 1.5 million people from other EU countries could have been allowed to vote in the referendum, if it had taken place under the rules for local government elections.
I'm sure you've got better ideas of how to spend a bank holiday Monday than me.
But I wouldn't mind being that bluebottle on the wall at Chequers tonight, assuming the government's fly-swatters aren't up to much.
Less than a year ago, the prime minister was doing his best to make sure Jean Claude Juncker didn't get the gig as President of the European Commission.
Well, you win some, you lose some. And David Cameron lost that one. Because they call him President Juncker now.
So, Mr Cameron has invited the president around for tea at his country retreat, Chequers. I'm told the prime minister will be "open, practical and friendly" in his approach.
Later in the week, David Cameron will visit Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Poland and Germany. And the talking is only just beginning.
Former Tory defence secretary Liam Fox, a Eurosceptic, said allowing EU citizens to vote in the referendum "would have been an unacceptable dilution of the voice of the British people".
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the plans were "sensible and reasonable".
However, the SNP's Mr Yousaf, the party's Europe minister in the Scottish parliament, urged the government to reconsider.
He told BBC News: "Excluding EU citizens, many of whom live here for a number of years, pay their taxes, their children attend local schools, to disenfranchise them over their own future in this vote is illogical, is utterly perverse and creates a democratic deficit."
He added: "We don't want to enter into the rhetoric of division and I think that's exactly what this franchise aims to do."
The party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson also called for the voting age to be lowered for the referendum.
He said: "Young people are our future. It is their UK - and their Europe - so they must have their say."
Labour's shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn agreed.
"It's a matter of principle," he said. "If a person aged 16 to 17 is old enough to work and pay taxes - and they are - to marry, to join the armed forces, why should they not be allowed to participate in our democracy?"
In 2014, the Conservatives promised to remove the 15-year cap on expats voting in general elections if they were returned to power.
Party chairman Grant Shapps said at the time: "Being a British citizen is for life... we believe it should also give you the lifelong right to vote."
But Conservative backbencher John Redwood told the Today programme it would be "wrong to hijack" the referendum to extend the vote to groups not previously included in the franchise.
And he said it was "a myth put around by the pro-Europeans" that 16 and 17-year-olds were interested in the issue of Europe.
The Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardo, welcomed his citizens' opportunity to make their voices heard in a "seminal exercise in democracy".
This week, Mr Cameron will take a whistle-stop European tour, meeting the leaders of Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Poland and Germany to talk about the UK's agenda for reform.
No 10 said he hoped to talk to the other leaders of EU member states individually before the European Council at the end of next month.
But UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said the prime minister's promised renegotiation would be "more or less worthless".
He added: "We now know he's not seeking treaty change and none of the new deal that he is looking for will apply specifically to Britain... none of it is going to fundamentally change our relationship with Europe."
One victim was a four-year-old Bosnian migrant, snatched in October from a refugee registration centre in Berlin. The other boy disappeared last July.
The judge said the guard, identified only as 33-year-old Silvio S, kidnapped and sexually abused the boys, then killed them to cover up the abuse.
Silvio S was arrested after his mother recognised him in CCTV footage.
In the court in Potsdam he admitted both murders and expressed remorse.
The life term means he will have to serve at least 15 years before seeking early release.
Elias, aged six, was abducted from a Potsdam playground, near Berlin, last July. Later the boy was murdered and buried in a rented garden plot. His body was found after the defendant led police to it.
Mohamed Januzi, aged four, came to Germany with his family from Bosnia-Hercegovina. He was murdered in October.
As the murder was being described in court, Mohamed's mother stood up and screamed at the defendant: "What have you done with my child?"
The German news website RBB said court officials restrained her and led her away at that point.
The attack followed a minor crash between a car and a van on Gressel Lane, Kitts Green at about 18:30 BST on Friday.
The van driver hit the car driver in an "unprovoked" assault before leaving the scene, police said.
The motorist suffered serious head injuries and is unconscious in hospital.
"This was a vicious attack on a family man who was on his way home to his partner and four-year-old child," Det Cons Katie Lees of West Midlands Police said.
"The road is a really busy road and we are sure that there were lots of people who would have seen what happened and we are appealing for them to come forward."
She appealed to the van driver to "search his conscience".
"We have several lines of inquiry and it is only a matter of time before we come knocking at your door," she added.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond also said new F-35 Lightning jets would be flying from the base in 2018.
After Mr Hammond's briefing Elizabeth Truss, Conservative MP for South West Norfolk, said the development would boost job opportunities.
It is also the culmination of a long campaign to keep the base open.
Four years ago RAF Marham's future was under threat as plans favoured a transfer of aircraft and facilities to RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.
Ms Truss welcomed the new announcement and said more than 5,000 people were now employed at the base by the RAF and contractors.
"Many of these people are highly skilled in disciplines like engineering," she said.
"They now have an opportunity to provide maintenance facilities for other countries' aircraft and this will create even more jobs.
"Already we know the base is protected until 2040 when the strike fighter goes out of service.
"The base is hugely important to the local community as the biggest employer in south west Norfolk with a variety of jobs in many skilled disciplines."
The 18-year-old has made two appearances for the Premier League club this season, both of which have come in cup competitions.
Butcher made his senior debut as a substitute in August's 4-0 League Cup victory over Hartlepool.
The teenager played the full match as the Cherries beat Birmingham 2-1 in the FA Cup last month.

Liverpudlian Sean O'Brien, who now lives in London, was trolled in March after being spotted dancing at a gig.
He was dubbed "The Dancing Man" by a social media campaign to uncover his identity and offer support.
During his LA trip he has been feted by stars, appeared on TV shows and thrown the first pitch at an LA Dodgers game.
Campaigner Monica Lewinsky, musicians Andrew WK and Moby attended his party, while Pharrell Williams recorded a special video message of support that was played at the party.
Mr O'Brien's story has become popular in the US after the social media campaign brought his story to the public's attention.
Pictures of him dancing and then looking upset after he was mocked were posted online, first on message board 4chan and then to the website Reddit.
They were posted with the caption: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing."
This led to a mass outpouring of support from Twitter users, who managed to track him down.
A group of American supporters, including American writer Cassandra Fairbanks, arranged for him to fly to California for this weekend's events.
His party, which was attended by about 1,000 people, raised money for anti-bullying charities.
Mr O'Brien has also appeared on US television dancing with pop star Meghan Trainor on the Today show.
He told its viewers his experiences after becoming famous had been "completely surreal".
He added: "It's something I never thought would ever happen in my life. It's amazing. What happened to me appeared to touch a lot of nerves.
"We've raised some good money for charity, we've got more money coming in. We're just really trying to help people know that there's support there.
"There'll always be bad in the world but there's far more good people."
He also said that he liked to dance often, "but badly - very, very badly".
Moby acted as the DJ at the party , held at the Avalon nightclub, where Mr O'Brien also met Ms Lewinsky, an anti-bullying campaigner famous for her affair with the former US President Bill Clinton.
On Sunday, Mr O'Brien threw the symbolic first pitch at a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, wearing a Dodgers shirt with "Dancing Man" printed on the back.
But as a young man growing up in the town of Rampur in northern India, Mohammad Javed never imagined his love for a Pakistani relative would see him branded a terrorist and sent to jail for eleven and a half years.
Two years after a court cleared him of all charges, he shared with the BBC his extraordinary tale of falling in love, the letters they exchanged, his abduction and torture by the Indian authorities, the long years spent in prison and the most heartbreaking part of all - losing his love.
Javed, now 33, met Mobina for the first time in 1999 when he took his mother to Karachi to visit her cousins and uncles who had migrated to Pakistan after the partition of India in 1947. For the couple, it was love at first sight.
"Within a month of our meeting, we expressed our love for each other," Javed told me when I visited him at the modest home he shares with his parents, brothers and their families.
"We were at a family wedding where there were other young women and I think she felt insecure. She took me aside and told me that I was not to look at any other girl since she was in love with me. I told her I felt the same way."
Love blossomed - and deepened - during the three-and-a-half months that Javed spent in Karachi.
"She would leave home in the morning telling her family that she was going to college. I would meet her outside the college gate, and we would go and hang out in Sipari Park," he said.
On his return to India, the television mechanic spent his entire salary on calls to Mobina whom he still refers to by her pet name Gudiya, or Doll.
"Cellphones hadn't arrived here then. So I would go to a telephone booth and call her. It was very expensive, I had to pay 62 rupees [at the time nearly £1; $1.45] a minute to speak to her."
A year later, he travelled to Karachi again, this time for two months.
By now, their families were aware of their feelings and although no-one had any objection to their union, there was one bone of contention - Mobina's family wanted Javed to move to Pakistan, while Javed and his family wanted her to come to India.
"This time as I prepared to leave, she said, 'You go, I will convince my family and then you come back and take me with you.' I didn't know that when I left, I would never return. That I would never see her again," he says, wistfully.
Over the next two years, Javed regularly called Mobina and they wrote each other long love letters.
When Javed received the first letter, he hit a hurdle - he had little schooling and couldn't read Urdu, the language in which Mobina wrote.
So he enlisted the help of his friends - Maqsood who read the letters out to him, Taj Mohammad who translated and wrote the letters in Hindi so Javed could read and re-read them, and Mumtaz Mian who printed a floral design along with "MJ" - the initials of the young lovers - on sheets of paper on which Maqsood wrote out Javed's response to Mobina.
"Her letter was 10 pages long. I wrote her a 12-page letter. It took me 12 days to write it," he says.
And then one day, everything changed.
"I still remember the day very clearly," says Javed. "It was 10 August 2002. It was a Saturday. I was in my shop when a man came and asked me to go with him and fix his television. I told him I didn't do house calls, but he seemed quite distraught, so I agreed."
As they walked a few metres from the shop, a car pulled up and he was abducted.
Initially, Javed says, he thought they were criminals, "but then I overheard them talking and I could understand that they were from the police".
His ordeal began in the car.
"They took away my wallet, watch and other things. I had two of Mobina's letters on me and they took them away too. They threatened to shoot me if I didn't keep quiet. They said they'd abducted my family too and that they were being tortured in another car.
"I was crying, begging them for mercy."
After a while, they blindfolded him and when they took it off, Javed found himself in a room where he says he was tortured for the next three days.
"They beat me black and blue, hung me upside-down and kept lowering my head into a tub of water. It was so painful. I couldn't bear it any longer. I begged them to kill me."
Javed was accused of being "an agent" for Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency, and his tormenters claimed he had been passing on secrets about the ministry of external affairs and defence ministry to Islamabad.
Three days later, they brought him back to Rampur and his three friends - Maqsood, Taj Mohammad and Mumtaz Mian - were also arrested.
The next day, the four men were produced in court and paraded before journalists as "dreaded terrorists" who were "waging war against India".
The authorities said Javed's two visits to Pakistan had been to meet his ISI contacts and that his calls to Karachi were to pass on secrets to them.
A month and a half later, they were charged under India's controversial special anti-terror law, The Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota).
"This meant we couldn't get bail. We were so demoralised. We were told if we were convicted, we could get the death penalty."
Javed says he has no idea why he was singled out. "But in jail, people said it was because of the Kargil conflict and that any Muslim who had travelled to Pakistan soon after the fighting was a suspect."
A spokesman for the campaign group Rihai Manch told the BBC that there are dozens of young Muslim men like Javed who have been held in prisons across India on trumped-up charges.
The hardest part of jail life, says Javed, was when there was a family wedding or when his father fractured his leg and he couldn't visit him. "I was lodged in Rampur jail. I was so near, yet so far."
In prison, he also lost his best friends - Maqsood, Taj Mohammad and Mumtaz Mian blamed him for giving their names to the police.
Javed says it was the memory of his love that kept him sane during the long years in jail.
"I used to tell my fellow prisoners about Mobina, how we fell in love, her habits, how she would tease me when I visited her. This made my time in prison more bearable and helped me keep her memory alive."
The years were tough for his parents too.
Javed's mother Afsana Begum blamed herself for her son's misfortune. "If I hadn't insisted on going to visit my relatives in Karachi, maybe he would have been spared the ordeal," she tells me, wiping away tears.
His father sold his land and the family jewellery and accumulated massive debts to hire lawyers to fight his son's wrongful confinement.
Finally Javed was freed from jail on 19 January 2014, a day after a court threw out all charges against him and the judge said the prosecution's evidence did not add up.
"When I walked out of jail, for a while it was difficult to believe that I was really free," he says, adding, "but one-third of my life, which was the most important time of my life, my entire 20s, was taken away from me."
Over the past two years, Javed has been trying to rebuild his life, bit-by-bit. He's taken a shop close to his house where he repairs old TV sets, but he's angry that there's been no compensation and no punishment for the people who ruined his life.
I ask him if he's been in touch with Mobina since his release.
"No, it's been a long time, she may be married," he says.
I ask him if he would like to get in touch with her?
"I have managed to expel her from my head, but not from my heart. I still love her, but I'm afraid to call her. What happens if they go after me or my family again?"
Baker, 33, follows defender Matt Clarke and midfielder Danny Rose as new additions to Pompey manager Paul Cook's squad for next season.
The former Morecambe and Coventry player scored 15 goals in 72 games during his two seasons with MK Dons.
He was offered a new deal by the club at the end of last season, but opted to join Portsmouth instead.
Baker's move to Fratton Park will become official on 1 July, a club he admitted he nearly joined two years ago.
"It's lovely to finally arrive on the south coast," he told the club's website.
"Since then I've kept a close eye on their results and another big factor in me coming here is that Paul Cook was my boss at Southport, where I started out."

An IPC taskforce has unanimously recommended the suspension, imposed in August, stays in place.
Russia was banned from last September's Rio Paralympics after revelations of systematic doping,
A taskforce report has expressed its concern at Russia's lack of action ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Last month, IPC president Sir Philip Craven told the BBC that the country's athletes may still be banned at next year's Games.
Russia was suspended after World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren detailed widespread drug use, and cover-ups allegedly involving government officials.
However, officials have not "specifically addressed'' McLaren's findings, either by accepting them or "properly rebutting'' them, according to the report from the IPC taskforce, which has been working with the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC).
"Unless and until the problems that led to the suspension are fully understood and addressed, the IPC taskforce is of the view that there can be no meaningful change in culture,'' said taskforce chairman Andy Parkinson, the chief executive of British Rowing.
Parkinson did report "various positive developments" since the taskforce started its work, including trying to set up an effective short-tern testing programme.
Athletics' world governing body, the IAAF, earlier this month voted to extend Russia's suspension from international competition.
Andrew Bache, from Portsmouth and known as Pepe, is in a critical condition after Russian fans went on the rampage with iron bars in Marseille.
His brother said his injuries were no longer life-threatening but could be "life-changing".
Friends who launched an appeal to help him have raised more than £5,000.
Chief Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said Mr Bache had been beaten around the head by Russians armed with iron bars.
He said officials had been unable to stop the Russian troublemakers as they had arrived in the city by train.
UEFA said the behaviour of both England and Russia fans before and after the 1-1 draw was "unacceptable".
A message from Mr Bache's brother, shared on Facebook, read: "He is still in a serious condition and they won't know the extent of his injuries until he is taken out of the induced coma.
"I was told that the chief inspector of the local police has informed them that they have excellent CCTV footage of the attack and have indentified those involved and pictures have been forwarded to French police."
Muir, 19, from Milnathort, near Kinross, will run in the 1500m, with Child competing in the 400m in Gothenburg and the 4x400m relay.
Muir made her GB debut in Glasgow in January.
Child's latest indoor run in Birmingham at 51.50 seconds was the fourth fastest all-time by a British woman.
Lynsey Sharp, who won a silver medal at the European Championships in Helsinki last summer, opted not to compete indoors this year despite setting the required standard and will turn her focus to outdoors as she targets 800m at the World Championships in August.
Muir is at Glasgow University studying veterinary medicine.
She won the Scottish cross country title a year ago this week at Under-20 level and then went to the World Juniors at 3000m.
"I'm delighted to be heading to Gothenburg and it will be good to have Eilidh Child there on the team as well," said Muir, the only British woman named at 1500m.
"I won the UK title in Sheffield and had the qualifying time from a previous race in Vienna so knew I had done enough. I could relax a wee bit and didn't need to race in the Birmingham Grand Prix.
"I was due to run in the Scottish Cross Country Champs at Falkirk on Saturday but even though I love that event it is better not to risk anything so close to Sweden. I plan to be there to cheer on my friends and my brother.
"After that it is Gothenburg and then I will try and fit in warm weather training ahead of the outdoor season. I have to do a certain amount of work experience to complete as part of my course but it is over a two-year period. I did the lambing last spring and really enjoyed that."
Full-time athlete Child has been in fine form indoors as the hurdler works on her speed via the 400m flat - breaking the Scottish Native and Scottish Indoor records in the process.
The 25-year-old from Perth won a silver medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and reached the semi-final stage at last year's Olympics.
Great Britain and Northern Ireland team:

England bowled Australia out for 242 on Saturday to seal a 169-run victory in four days and take a 1-0 series lead.
"The players have been heading in the right direction over the last series with New Zealand and I was lucky to come in at this time," said Bayliss.
"They are interested in playing good, attacking cricket."

Australian Bayliss, 52, was appointed as successor to Peter Moores at the end of May but this was his first match in charge, with assistant coach Paul Farbrace looking after the side in the interim.
During that time, they produced a number of attacking displays during the drawn two-Test series with New Zealand and the subsequent one-day international series victory against the World Cup finalists - form they carried over into the first Ashes Test in Cardiff.
Bayliss was full of praise for his players, singling out captain Alastair Cook for his leadership qualities.
"Any win is a fantastic feeling," said Bayliss. "I thought Alastair's captaincy was top notch. It always helps when the players underneath him are playing well."
However, Bayliss warned against any complacency from the hosts.
"The boys are aware that when you beat Australia, the next match is going to be even tougher because they will come back hard," he added.
"There is a long way to go in this series. To win we will have to play some very good cricket."
The second Test begins at Lord's on Thursday.
Despite appeals from human rights groups, he was executed in Pakistan on Tuesday.
His lawyers claim he was 14 when he was tortured into a confession and charged with involuntary manslaughter more than 10 years ago.
But the Pakistani authorities have said Shafqat Hussain's legal team failed to submit sufficient evidence to show he was a juvenile.
His brother, Manzoor, was at the jail to receive his body after the execution.
"What justice system is this?" Manzoor said. "He was just two and half years my junior - he was a young man."
Shafqat Hussain's uncle, Mohammad Altaf, who was also at the jail when he was executed, said his long imprisonment was inhumane.
"This is cruel... unjust. He was sentenced 12 years ago and all the appeals were rejected in one year. If he had been in prison for two more years he would have served a life imprisonment term already."
Shafqat Hussain met his family one last time before midnight, then was hanged shortly before dawn at the jail in Karachi.
Legal challenges and civil society campaigns saw his execution postponed four times this year.
But in the end, all the appeals and lobbying were ultimately turned down, including two letters from the provincial governments of Sindh and Pakistani-administered Kashmir which both asked for a stay on the execution.
Shafqat Hussein's case may have caused an international outcry to get him off death row but inside Pakistan it was cause for debate.
Many here support the death sentence and see it as justice being served in capital crimes.
Amnesty International described his hanging as "a sad day" for Pakistan. The sentiment was echoed by many activists on social media.
Others however, criticised NGOs for wanting to stop the hanging of someone they described as a child killer.
The authorities insist that Shafqat Hussain's case was properly handled.
"[His] case was given due process," Ashtar Ausaf Ali, minister of state and a special assistant to the prime minister on law, told the BBC.
Mr Ali also added that for the last few months the government has revised the case very closely and looked at it a number of times.
The Pakistani government partially lifted a moratorium on capital punishment in the aftermath of an attack on a school in Peshawar last December, in which more than 150 pupils and teachers were killed by the Taliban.
The attack shocked the Pakistani people and put the political and military leadership in a very tough spot.
Since then the government has been trying to prove it's taken measures to combat militancy.
At the time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the country was in an "extraordinary situation" that needed "extraordinary actions".
Later in the year the authorities lifted the moratorium on all capital punishment.
Pakistan is believed to have the largest number of death row inmates in the world. More than 8,000 prisoners are awaiting execution - many of whom have been in jail for over a decade.
So far about 200 people have been executed since December - only a small fraction of them were linked to terrorism.
Legal charities and human rights organisations have criticised the move saying the death penalty will not combat terrorism.
"The very logic of this is wrong," said Shahzad Akbar, a fellow at the legal charity Reprieve. "How can you deter a would-be suicide bomber by the death penalty?"
But Mr Ali insists that it has acted as a deterrent.
"The last eight months when the death penalty has been carried out was better than the last eight years (of the moratorium)," he said.
However, he didn't give any specific crime rates before or after the lifting of the moratorium.
"This is the law of the land," Mr Ali added. "It should be respected by all and adhered to."
But lawyers say the difficulty lies in Pakistan's flawed criminal justice system.
"There are inherent problems within the Pakistani justice system - like due process, proper legal representation and examining evidence," said Shahzad Akbar.
"What worries me is that there are many cases like Shafqat's that we don't have access to."
"People who have been languishing in jail for years and unless their cases are opened and looked at properly - the government should not hang them."
The Cube in Corby, which has cost £48m, now has its fourth floor office space completed and available for rent.
The rest of the building includes Corby Borough Council offices, a library, theatre and register office.
Tom Beattie, the council's Labour leader, said: "There was a cost over-run, but we held our hands up and accepted responsibility."
The Cube opened in November 2010, but it had issues, which included a leaking roof.
Building inspectors said the helical staircase was "dangerous, like a helter skelter" and it was described by the then Conservative opposition leader David Sims as a "poorly managed, waste of taxpayers' money".
Work to bring it up to scratch has now been completed, the council said.
Mr Beattie said: "We know it's taken a while, but we've got a building which is functional, people have got used to it and it makes a statement about Corby's ambition.
"As you see the developments taking place around the town centre, I don't think any of that would have happened without this building being here - it's acted as a magnet to attract further business."
Rob McKellar, current Conservative opposition leader, said: "The Cube is a building Corby can be proud of and it represents Corby's ambitions.
"It was controversial and there are multi-million pound overspends.
"The public did punish the Labour administration at the ballot box in May and Labour has apologised, but now it's time to look to the future and Corby's is certainly a bright one."
Earlier this year, council officer Steven Redfern, reached an out-of-court settlement after launching a £1m damages claim after he turned whistle-blower over the spiralling costs of the project.
The 22-year-old was one of 20 people who suffered burns when the substance was sprayed at the Mangle E8 club in Hackney, east London on Monday.
Arthur Collins, 25, from Hertfordshire, the boyfriend of TV celebrity Ferne McCann, is wanted for questioning.
Investigating officers have arrested three people in Hertfordshire.
A 33-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of firearms offences and is in custody in a north London police station.
The others were held when officers went to Mr Collins' home in Broxbourne and found a cannabis farm and illegal firearms.
A spokesman for Hertfordshire Police said the 54-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.
One of the victims of the acid attack on Monday night told BBC 5 live: "It was just a normal night out. To be involved in something like that… it annoys me, especially when you're just minding your own business and just going about what you normally do."
She added that she was not aware of a fight or argument breaking out until she was burned.
"I didn't clock until I got burned which is annoying because If there is an argument or a fight then my natural instinct is to walk away. I don't get myself involved in anything like that.
"So if I heard an argument I would have walked away straight away but there wasn't an argument, there wasn't a fight. The minute it happened was when I knew. I thought water had just been thrown or alcohol or something like that."
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, added: "My burns and what I've got are not ideal and I hate the fact that they are going to scar and that I'm in pain with them.
"But I think what upsets me more is the fact that you are seeing young girls my age and even young men my age that have got scars on their face that you know are going to scar and make a massive impact on their life."
Ms McCann has appealed for Mr Collins to go to a police station.
Scotland Yard believe the acid was sprayed at two men, but hit others, following a dispute between two groups.
The injured men, aged 24 and 29, remain in a specialist burns unit hospital in Essex, both in a serious but stable condition.
A 22-year-old woman, who was also injured, said the men were black, but their faces were turned white by the acid.
Det Insp Lee McCullough said the "noxious substance used" was still being analysed.
Two other men, as well as Mr Collins, are wanted for questioning over the attack although police have not released any further information about them.
Hundreds of people had to be evacuated from the LoveJuice event.
These were reported to include three stars of The Only Way Is Essex - Jamie Reed, Jade Lewis and Chloe Meadows.
The company behind the event tweeted it was co-operating with the police investigation.
The acid attack is one of three similar reports made to police in London over the past week.
On Good Friday a carjacking victim was sprayed with a "noxious substance" in Bow, while an 18-year-old man suffered possibly life-changing injuries when he and another woman had a corrosive substance thrown over them in Fulham.
Midfielder Schumacher notched his first League Two goal of the season and Godden doubled the lead as the visitors grabbed two goals in four second-half minutes, before Michael Smith set up a thrilling finale.
Pompey winger Kyle Bennett sliced a 25-yard snapshot against the post in the eighth minute, with the hosts keen to prolong a four-match unbeaten streak.
Godden blasted a shot straight at goalkeeper David Forde, who took it at the second attempt, before Bennett's header on the stretch was held by Jamie Jones at the other end in a poor opening 45 minutes.
Bennett caused more problems in the second half, with his fierce swerving drive forcing Jones to parry, and then substitute Conor Chaplin lashed over before the goal flurry.
Schumacher's powerful drive went under Forde from a Ben Kennedy centre in the 71st minute, before Godden capitalised on a poor clearance from the goalkeeper to slide home.
Smith set up a nervy finish when he lashed in his third of the week at the back post with 10 minutes to play.
Jack Whatmough nodded against the post with the last action of the game as Boro continued their excellent form on the road.

Mr Murphy has been replaced as shadow international development secretary by transport spokeswoman Mary Creagh.
Ms Creagh is succeeded by Michael Dugher, a close ally of Mr Miliband's.
Lucy Powell has been promoted to the shadow cabinet to take on responsibility for day-to-day operations for May's general election.
Ms Powell, a former chief of staff to Mr Miliband who became an MP only in 2012, promised to inject some new "energy and vigour" into Labour's campaigning on the ground.
She told the BBC she would review the party's campaign machine to ensure it was working "at its very best".
"I am going to make sure we put out the very best of our talents and communicate the very strong message that we have got going into the next election and unblock the system so our operation is serving all of those fantastic candidates, our fantastic front bench and our leader," she said.
Labour is facing a growing threat from UKIP in some traditional heartlands in the north-west of England.
It hung on to the seat of Heywood and Middleton, which is close to Ms Powell's Manchester Central seat, by just 617 votes last month.
Ms Powell, who was previously an education spokeswoman, said shadow ministers "need to be more visible and I will enable them to do that" in her role - previously held by Mr Dugher.
She added: "I am going to get Ed Miliband out there more because he is a fantastic asset out in the country meeting people directly and talking to people directly, not seeing things through the prism of the media down here [in London], who do not always give him the best ride."
The BBC's chief political correspondent Vicki Young said the changes were a reflection that Labour wanted it election campaign machine to run "more smoothly" and portray a more female-friendly image.
One recent opinion poll suggested that Labour support had dipped below 30% for the first time since 2010 amid concerns about the party's economic policy and Mr Miliband's leadership.
In other changes, Jon Trickett has been brought into Mr Miliband's office as a senior adviser while Alison McGovern has replaced Ms Powell as shadow children's minister. Anas Sarwar, who quit as the deputy leader of Scottish Labour, will take a shadow ministerial role in international development
The Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) said its full-year results would come in at the lower end of market expectations.
The company blamed a "marked deterioration in the UK print advertising market".
Shares in DMGT fell more than 8% in morning trading on Thursday.
DMG Media, which includes the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, saw revenues fall 3% in the third quarter.
This follows falls in revenue of 6% and 7% in the first two quarters respectively.
The group said MailOnline digital advertising revenue growth of £1m in the third quarter - an 8% rise - had partly offset a £7m decline in Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday revenues.
"Given the weaker than anticipated UK print advertising market for DMG media and the more challenging market conditions for B2B [business to business publishing], the outlook for the group's full year results is now towards the lower end of market expectations," it said in a statement.
City analysts expects DMGT to report revenues of between £1.82bn and £1.93bn and pretax profit of between £275m and £292m.
DMGT join rivals Trinity Mirror and Johnston Press in warning of weaker ad markets.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Widodo said Indonesians were also victims of the haze, but it would take three years for results to be seen from efforts to end the huge annual fires.
He also said Indonesia was open to investment, promising to cut red tape.
And he dismissed criticism he had failed to deliver on election promises.
Speaking to the BBC Asia Business correspondent Karishma Vaswani in Jakarta, Mr Widodo said the haze was "not a problem that you can solve quickly".
The pollution is caused by people in Indonesia's Sumatra, Kalimantan and Riau regions illegally burning large areas of forest and peat for planting, mostly with lucrative palm oil trees.
It is repeated point of tension between Indonesia and its neighbours every year, often causing air conditions classified as highly hazardous to human health. Earlier this year it was so bad in Riau province a state of emergency was declared.
Singapore and Malaysia have called on Indonesia to do more to address the problem, though Indonesia has often pointed out that some of the companies responsible for the burning are foreign-owned and that their neighbours benefit from cheap palm oil products.
Mr Widodo said Indonesia had "gone to great lengths" to tackle it already, including sending 3,700 soldiers, nearly 8,000 police officers and four water-bombing planes to put out the fires.
It was building water reserves in the forest and canals to get water to the hotspots, he said, while also making progress to enforce laws against forest-burning.
"You will see results soon and in three years we will have solved this," he said.

Joko Widodo swept to power a year ago, and captured the imagination of the country's youth with his man of the people image. But what a difference a year makes.
Although during the interview he appeared to put on a show of confidence about his handling of the economy - currently his administration's biggest headache - he was short on specifics and dismissed concerns that he has disappointed his supporters by saying that Indonesia is a big country and it takes time to fix the many problems it has.
That may be true but overwhelmingly the mood amongst investors and businesses I met in Jakarta was one of exasperation. When will the president stop talking and start acting, many asked me.
More from Karishma: Has Jokowi lived up to expectations?
Mr Widodo - popularly known in Indonesia as Jokowi and a former governor of Jakarta - was elected in July last year promising to reinvigorate the economy and increase infrastructure spending.
But after a decade of improving living standards, Indonesia is facing its slowest average growth rate in a decade and many have already grown disillusioned.
Mr Widodo said government spending was picking up, and signs of recovery would be clear by early next year.
He said he was working to remove red tape in many industries to encourage investment and trigger growth.
But any infrastructure spending had to be privately funded and transparent, he said, saying a much-vaunted foreign-backed high-speed rail network was recently cancelled because it had not met these conditions.
"This is my job and my responsibility to open the door for investment, to provide a business environment in order to build industries in Indonesia. We have to build industrialisation and infrastructure so people can work there."

Families left the Indian Ocean islands in the 1960s and 70s to make way for a US Air Force base on Diego Garcia, the largest of the group of islands.
An Immigration Order preventing anyone from going back was issued in 1971.
The Supreme Court - UK's highest court - upheld a 2008 House of Lords ruling that the exiles could not return.
Olivier Bancoult, the Chagossian leader who has been fighting in the courts on behalf of the islanders, had argued that decision should be set aside.
In the latest challenge, justices were told it relied heavily on a 2002 feasibility study into resettlement, which concluded that the costs of long-term inhabitation of the outer islands would be prohibitive and life there precarious.
Information about the feasibility study was not disclosed before the decision was made, the islanders said.
But the five justices dismissed the islanders' appeal by a majority of three to two - the same numerical split as the Law Lords in 2008.
Sabrina Jean from Crawley, West Sussex, chairs the Chagos Refugees UK group. Her father was originally from Chagos Island and is one of the 3,000-strong Chagossian community who live in the town, which is near Gatwick Airport.
She told BBC Sussex: "We are disappointed about the result but we will never give up. We will continue our fight to find justice for the Chagossian community. All the people have the right to live on the islands."
At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Henry Smith, MP for Crawley asked David Cameron if it would be a good legacy to allow the islanders to return.
Mr Cameron said the National Security Council was considering the case and had looked at the alternative options and costs.
"We will be making an announcement in the coming months," he said.
Stefan Donnelly, of the UK Chagos Support Association, said the decision was "disappointing" after decades of "peaceful and powerful" campaigning but "justice is still within reach though".
"It is ministers' responsibility to conclude their long-running policy review on the resettlement of the Chagos Islands," he said.
"Chagossians are our fellow citizens and we need to stand together and demand ministers get started on a fair return programme now."
TV presenter Ben Fogle has supported the campaign.
He said it was "hard to accept the ruling", but added: "The government's own policy review has already concluded that return is feasible, costs are modest and plenty of Chagossians are ready to go.
"So this fight for justice will continue - and grow."
UKIP's Commonwealth spokesman James Carver MEP said he was "dismayed" by the ruling, saying: "This moral injustice continues to be a stain on our history."
The Supreme Court case was the latest in a long legal battle over the right of the islanders to return.
In 2000, High Court judges ruled that Chagossians could return to 65 of the islands, but not to Diego Garcia.
In 2004, the government used the royal prerogative - exercised by ministers in the Queen's name - to effectively nullify the decision.
Then in 2007, the court overturned that order and rejected the government's argument that the royal prerogative was immune from scrutiny.
However, the following year the government won an appeal, with the House of Lords ruling the exiles could not return.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been a long-standing supporter of their campaign to go back.
The IRA murdered 10 men in 1976 attack.
The families want answers about security along the border at the time, and the role of the Garda (Irish police) in police investigations.
UUP MLA Danny Kennedy, who organised the meeting, hailed Mr Kenny's commitment as "significant progress".
The victims of the Kingsmills massacre were all Protestants who were returning home from work when their minibus was ambushed by up to a dozen gunmen.
An inquest into the killings is due to open later this year and concerns have been raised about a delay in the disclosure of documents.
The taoiseach arrived more than an hour late for Thursday's meeting with the families.
The relatives previously met Mr Kenny in September 2012.
After Thursday's meeting, they said Mr Kenny gave an undertaking that the Irish government would cooperate fully with the coroner's inquest into the killings.
The families said the taoiseach also gave an assurance that if the coroner had to travel to Dublin to view sensitive material, that would be facilitated.
The UUP's Mr Kennedy, who has supported the families' campaign for justice for a number of years, described the meeting as "very constructive".
"The assurances which the taoiseach gave families and public representatives in private session were repeated in his public comments.
"The Irish government will share all relevant documentation in relation to the Kingsmills atrocity with the Northern Ireland Coroner.
"There was also a wider commitment in relation to other atrocities committed in the border area over the years," Mr Kennedy added.
The DUP MLA William Irwin also attended the meeting with the families.
"I welcome the fact that Mr Kenny has given an assurance to the families that the information will be handed over," he said.
"It does however remain a concern that it has taken sustained pressure to get to this stage.
"The coroner has been waiting on this information for some considerable time and the delay is unacceptable, especially as we are dealing with what was without doubt one of the most heinous crimes carried out by the IRA."
"It is vital for the innocent victims of the IRA's terror campaign that the Irish government are seen to actively step up and provide the necessary information requested in inquiries and ongoing investigations," Mr Irwin added.
The victims of the Kingsmills massacre were all Protestants who were returning home from work when their minibus was ambushed by up to a dozen gunmen.
The textile factory workers were travelling along the Whitecross to Bessbrook Road in rural south Armagh on 5 January 1976.
The only Catholic in the minibus was ordered to leave the area, while 11 of his Protestant work colleagues were shot.
One of the men, Alan Black, survived despite being shot 18 times.
In 2011, an investigation by the Historical Enquiries Team concluded that the IRA was responsible for the atrocity and that the victims were targeted because of their religion.
The 25-year-old took a blow to the head during his side's victory over Sunderland last Tuesday.
He finished the match but developed symptoms which subsequently ruled him out of Sunday's win against Everton.
Laurent Koscielny is suspended for the Wembley final while Gabriel left Sunday's game on a stretcher.
Germany international Mustafi was initially expected to return to face Chelsea at Wembley, but the problem is understood to be more serious.
Fellow central defender Koscielny is suspended after being sent off in the first half against Everton, while manager Arsene Wenger said the knee injury which forced Gabriel off "doesn't look too good".
Gabriel's replacement Per Mertesacker came on for his first appearance of the season having recovered from a knee injury he suffered in pre-season.
Mustafi joined Arsenal for a fee in excess of £35m last summer and has played 37 times for the club this season.
Born in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, she represented North Wales in the European Parliament from 1979 to 1989.
Miss Brookes, who had also been a social worker and company director, joined UKIP in 2013, "disillusioned" with David Cameron's leadership.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies described her as "an incredibly talented politician who will be very sadly missed".
Miss Brookes, who came from a farming family, was chairwoman of the Welsh Conservative Party and became chairwoman of the Welsh Consumer Council after losing her seat in the 1989 European election.
Despite several attempts, she never succeeded in being elected to Westminster.
Miss Brookes was awarded a CBE in 1996.
"Her career was varied and always hugely successful and I pay tribute to everything she did within public life, the voluntary sector and for the Welsh Conservative party," said Mr Davies.
In a new report, commissioned by Downing Street, he says that people think the UK "does not have a strategy for growth and wealth creation".
He wants to devolve power from London to the English regions.
In the Commons, David Cameron and Ed Milliband argued over whether the report backed or damned the government.
Lord Heseltine's report, No Stone Unturned, makes 89 recommendations to help industry. One of its key aims is to move £49bn from central government to the English regions to help local leaders and businesses.
The aim, he said, was to devolve power from Whitehall and re-invigorate the big cities that had fuelled the growth and wealth that the country had enjoyed in past decades.
Lord Heseltine, head of the Department of Trade and Industry in the 1980s, said the government should allocate growth funds through the new Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) that are being established in England in place of Regional Development Agencies.
By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor
In 2010, the government invited local business and civic leaders to come forward with proposals for establishing LEPs that reflected natural economic geographies.
Lord Heseltine believes these bodies could be key to stimulating regional growth, but said that, at the moment, LEPs did not currently have "the authority or resource to transform their locality in the way our economy needs".
At the national level, however, the government should show greater leadership in promoting major infrastructure projects, Lord Heseltine said. A national growth council should be created, chaired by the prime minister and with a cross-government focus.
"Central government must retain control of important, large scale infrastructure projects. This includes our motorway network, national rail network and airports, as well as our energy networks," Lord Heseltine said.
In all these sectors, there must be greater investment and a clearer strategy of what the UK needs. He cited the delay and "inertia" over building extra airport capacity in the south east, and called on all the political promises to make firm commitments in their next manifestos about how they will resolve the problem.
Profile: Heseltine still making waves
Lord Heseltine also backed suggestions that pension funds should provide funding for infrastructure projects. With yields on investments in stocks and shares at historically low levels "there is a well of money looking for a better return than currently available in the market," he said.
He said that throughout the regions there was excellence in industry, commerce and academia, which should be extended and that cities were "pulsing with energy" that should be unleashed.
He backed the government's economic strategy, and said it was taking the right path to recovery. But later, in an interview with the BBC, Lord Heseltine said there was "an urgency" about stimulating growth. "Across the world there are emerging economies that want our jobs and our wealth," he told the Today programme.
"We need to mobilise the skills of provincial England. I want to shove power out of Whitehall, into the provinces," he said, adding that "London has acquired too much power".
Lord Heseltine admitted his ideas would go down like a "lead balloon" in parts of Whitehall because he was suggesting government departments should lose some of their power.
Asked whether his conclusions might be at odds with thinking in the Treasury, Lord Heseltine said: "I do not work for the Treasury, I work for George Osborne. And George has been behind this initiative."
He added: "I have got baggage, they know my views. There are bound to be things where they say, 'oh my god, here he goes again'. I have told it as I see it, but I have told it in a way that is very supportive of the government."
In the Commons, the Conservative and Labour leaders disputed the report's sentiments. Mr Milliband said that Lord Heseltine's comment that people believe there is no growth strategy was damning.
But Mr Cameron cited the report's conclusion that the coalition government was "on the right track". He added that it was an "excellent" report, and told Mr Milliband that it was pointless to just trade quotes
Chancellor George Osborne said he would "study it [the report] very carefully". He said: "I wanted Lord Heseltine to do what he does best: challenge received wisdom and give us ideas on how to bring government and industry together. He has done exactly that."
The Institute of Directors (IoD) business group welcomed the devolution of power to the local. The TUC also supported the report, but said that ministers are going to have to change their attitude towards civil servants, public bodies and unions if they want this strategy to succeed."
The 22-year-old joined Peterborough from non-league Bishop's Stortford in November 2013 and had a loan spell at Oxford United last season.
Vassell has made seven appearances for Posh this season without scoring.

Deputy secretary general Harun Khan told BBC Radio 5 live the Prevent scheme was having a "negative impact".
The scheme seeks to lessen the influence of extremism - but Mr Khan said it alienated young Muslims and pushed them towards radical groups.
The government said it was supporting the vast majority of UK Muslims in combating extremism.
Prevent, which is part of the government's broader counter-terrorism strategy, aims to "stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism".
Work carried out as part of Prevent includes stopping "apologists for terrorism" coming to the UK, supporting community campaigns which oppose extremism and mentoring for individuals who are "at risk of being drawn into terrorist activity".
The strategy covers "all forms" of terrorism, including far-right extremism.
Mr Khan said Prevent had "really failed" when it came to Muslim communities, and said many young Muslims were "not interested in engaging for anything to do with Prevent".
"Most young people are seeing this [as] a target on them and the institutions they associate with," he said.
He said many felt they would be viewed by authorities as potential terrorists if they went to mosques or joined other organised Muslim groups.
Mr Khan said this left some people "lost and disenfranchised" and vulnerable to radicalisation.
"They will be picked up by the smaller groups, fringe elements, on the street and targeted specifically," he said.
He said the "bigger problem" was that many young Muslims were "disillusioned" but felt they could not express their views.
Mr Khan said people needed a "safe space" where they could "speak freely without being labelled as extremists".
"One of those views, as an example, is how do they respond to seeing continuous oppression of Muslims on the media, on the news, on the internet," he said.
He said the government only wanted to engage with people whose views matched their own.
Immigration and security minister James Brokenshire said the government was supporting "the vast majority of British Muslims in condemning those who advocate violence, intolerance and division".
"As part of our Prevent counter-terrorism programme we work with a wide range of organisations to raise awareness of the dangers of travelling to areas of conflict such as Syria and Iraq and the risk of exploitation by extremist groups."
Funding from Prevent has been given to:
As part of Prevent, the UK also works "closely with countries where those who support terrorism and promote extremism are most active", focusing on Pakistan, the Middle East and East Africa.
On Friday, Home Secretary Theresa May proposed changes to the law to tackle extremism and radicalisation in the UK.
She said she was "looking again at the case for new banning orders for extremist groups" and considering new civil powers to "target extremists who seek to radicalise others". | Former Football Association executive Adrian Bevington has left his advisory role at relegated Aston Villa after less than two months in the post.

Dame Helen is nominated for her roles in The Woman in Gold and Trumbo, while Elba is nominated for Beasts of No Nation and BBC drama Luther.
Eddie Redmayne, last year's SAG best actor winner, has been nominated again for his performance as transgender pioneer Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl.
The awards are often seen as key indicators for the Oscars.
For the past 10 years, the winner of the best actor category has gone on to triumph at the Academy Awards.
If Redmayne was to triumph, he would be the first actor to win twice in a row since Tom Hanks in 1994 and 1995.
Dame Helen is nominated for best actress in The Woman in Gold in which she plays real-life Jewish World War Two survivor Maria Altmann, who fought the Austrian government over Gustav Klimt paintings stolen from her family.
She will compete against Saoirse Ronan for Brooklyn, Sarah Silverman for I Smile Back, Brie Larson for Room and Cate Blanchett for Carol.
Dame Helen is also nominated for best supporting actress and as an ensemble cast member for Trumbo, about the real life Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.
In the best supporting actress category, she is recognised alongside Rooney Mara for Carol, Rachel McAdams for Spotlight, Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl and fellow Brit Kate Winslet in Steve Jobs.
As well as his ensemble cast nomination for Beasts of No Nation, Elba receives a best supporting actor nod for his part as the charismatic but ruthless Commandant in the film, who keeps his young recruits in his thrall in the African warfare picture.
He is nominated alongside two more Brits - Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies and Christian Bale for The Big Short, alongside Michael Shannon in 99 Homes and nine-year-old Jacob Tremblay for Room.
Elba's other nomination is for his starring role in Luther, recognised in the TV movie/miniseries category.
Redmayne has been nominated for a second consecutive year in the best actor category.
The star is nominated alongside Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs, Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant, Bryan Cranston for Trumbo, and Johnny Depp for Black Mass.
Trumbo, The Big Short, Spotlight, Straight Outta Compton and Beasts of No Nation are all nominated for their ensemble cast performances.
In the television categories ITV's Downton Abbey received two nominations - best ensemble drama series and best actress for Dame Maggie Smith for her role as Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham.
Other British stars who received nods included Sir Ben Kingsley in Tut and Mark Rylance for BBC Two drama Wolf Hall.
The best ensemble drama category features Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Homeland, Mad Men and House of Cards.
Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright were both recognised for their individual performances in House of Cards, with Jon Hamm also receiving a nod for his role in the last series of Mad Men.
The best ensemble comedy category saw The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Orange is the New Black, Transparent, Veep and Key & Peele nominated.
The SAG awards honour the year's top achievements in film and television and are voted for by more than 100,000 actors.
The winners will be announced at a televised awards ceremony in Los Angeles on 30 January.
The Welsh swimmer, 25, missed London 2012 after suffering glandular fever ahead of those trials, before missing out on a 2013 World Championship medal.
A historic 2014 Commonwealth gold and maiden Worlds honour followed in 2015.
"A lot of people say 'oh you're already going to the Olympics,' but you need to perform at the trials," she said.
"Unlike last time [in 2012] the preparation has been great and I've had a solid block over in Australia training outdoors with the warmth which gives you a great boost."
With Carlin's long-term coach Bud McAllister opting to move to Australia the swimmer took the bold move to leave her base in Swansea and relocate to Bath under Dave McNulty in late 2014.
The move paid dividends with 800m world bronze in 2015 and she is edging closer to Rebecca Adlington's British record of eight minutes, 14.10 seconds - which was the former world record - in the event.
"It was nerve-wracking moving programmes to be with a new coach and setup but it was great to come away with a World bronze and two European short course golds," she said.
"It's all about the Rio Olympics though, the trials are a stepping stone and I'm excited to get racing."
In addition to the 800m she will also contest the 400m and 200m freestyle races in Glasgow.
The next major event following the trials will be the 2016 European Championships, back at the venue where she missed out on Olympic selection - the London Aquatics Centre.
"The journey since 2012 has been a rollercoaster, but I think home support will be great and the European competition is world class," said Carlin.
"It's every athlete's dream go to the Olympics and London will be great build-up.
"I just have to swim well, eat well, rest well, look after myself and hopefully that will be enough."
It comes amid what appears to be a crackdown against those suspected of involvement in the plot.
The BBC has seen evidence of retaliatory attacks, after a hospital where soldiers involved in the coup were being treated was attacked.
The alleged coup ringleader, Godefroid Niyombare, is still on the run.
President Nkurunziza on Saturday thanked the army for thwarting the coup and appealed for calm, although protests have continued in the capital Bujumbura.
Those who appeared in court in Bujumbura included former defence minister General Cyrille Ndayirukiye and police commissioners Zenon Ndabaneze and Hermenegilde Nimenya, said lawyer Anatole Miburo, quoted by AFP news agency.
Mr Miburo said they had been accused of attempting to overthrow the state.
"They were seriously beaten, in particular General Ndayirukiye," he said.
Relatives of two of the accused told the Reuters news agency that the suspects had visible injuries and that one had lost hearing in one ear due to a beating in the cells.
The BBC's East Africa correspondent Karen Allen says it is alleged that three soldiers were dragged from a hospital in Bujumbura during a police raid.
A fourth died of his injuries but doctors were unable to confirm whether these were wounds sustained during the police attack or injuries for which he was originally admitted to hospital.
President Nkurunziza was in Tanzania on Wednesday when military leaders moved against his bid for a third term.
He returned home on Friday, initially travelling to his northern hometown of Ngozi, before continuing to Bujumbura.
Security remains tight in the capital, where private radio stations are still closed. Soldiers and police have been patrolling the streets looking for anyone involved in the coup.
The president has moved quickly to reassert his authority, and there is nervousness inside and outside Burundi that old wounds from the civil war which ended in 2005 could be re-opened, our correspondent says.

50 years - life expectancy for a man
2nd poorest country in the world

The unrest in Burundi started on 26 April, with protests sparked by Mr Nkurunziza's announcement a day earlier that he would run for re-election in June.
Opponents said the bid contravened the constitution, which states a president can only be elected to two terms.
The president argued that he was entitled to a third term because he was first appointed to the role by parliament in 2005, rather than elected.
Since then, at least 25 people have been killed and more than 105,000 people have fled the country.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the Hornets, who previously had two offers rejected.
Gray was in the final 12 months of his contract with Burnley and had turned down a new deal at Turf Moor.
He scored nine goals last season, despite a four-game ban for homophobic tweets he sent in 2012.
He joined Burnley from Brentford for £9m in 2015 and was a key part of Sean Dyche's 2016 Championship-winning team.
Watford's previous record transfer was midfielder Roberto Pereyra, who joined from Italian champions Juventus on an undisclosed fee last August.

Andre Gray would seem to be an ideal fit for Watford.
The Hornets have relied too much on Troy Deeney in the past 18 months and in Gray they get a man with Premier League goalscoring experience. He is a good age and his pace is something the current Watford squad lacks.
His spell at old rivals Luton is a negative but the majority of Hornets fans will not care too much about that.

Lawro's opponents for this weekend Premier League fixtures and FA Cup semi-finals is world heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua.
Joshua, who beat Charles Martin to take the IBF title earlier this month, supports his hometown team Watford, and recently trained with Hornets striker Troy Deeney.
"I've known Troy for a while, we linked up in a barber shop," Joshua told BBC Sport. "From there, I saw he was training with a coach in Birmingham.
"I liked the way his training was different to what I was used to so I linked up with him too. We were training together, footballer and boxer, and we had a great coach.
"Did Troy keep up with me? Definitely. He is a beast, he knows how to handle himself in the gym."
The 26-year-old will not be at Wembley for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final, but has a message for Deeney and his Hornets' team-mates.
"I will be supporting you from a distance," Joshua said. "Good luck to everyone at Watford, you have come this far and the hard work is done. Enjoy it and get the job done."
Joshua, who admits he chooses Real Madrid ahead of Watford when he plays on Fifa, met former Real and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after the Martin fight.
"Yes, he is a special one," he added. "Cool, calm and collected - the triple c's."
You can hear more of Joshua's tales of following Watford on Football Focus at 12:10 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Lawro got four correct results and no perfect scores from last weekend's matches, to give him a total of 40 points.
He was beaten by actors Idris Elba and Richard Madden, who got six results correct, with no perfect scores, for a total of 60 points.
Ahead of Arsenal's game with West Brom, Lawro picked up an extra 60 points from his midweek predictions. Nobby Butcher and Carl Frampton also added to their scores.

Sunderland's win at relegation rivals Norwich last week was an excellent result.
The Black Cats seem to have tightened up defensively because they have now had two clean sheets in their last three games.
I am backing them to pick up another point here, because I am not sure what to expect from Arsenal at the moment.

I know Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew changed his team around for Wednesday's defeat by Manchester United but, before then, they were coming into a bit of form after a long run without a league win.
I think Palace will fancy their chances against Watford. The Hornets also made lots of changes in their defeat by West Ham, but they were fortunate to beat West Brom at the weekend and I don't think they are in a good place at the moment.
There seems to be a bit of speculation over Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores' future too. That seems harsh after the season they have had.

I was at the King Power Stadium last week for Radio 5 live and the atmosphere felt a bit strange before kick-off.
You could sense West Ham were going to cause Leicester problems and, when the game started, the Foxes looked heavy-legged and leaden-footed.
It is going to be interesting to see how they cope without the suspended Jamie Vardy.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Shinji Okazaki, who spends more time on the floor than any other player I've seen, and Leonardo Ulloa are their only other options up front.
Without Vardy's pace, teams can really squeeze Leicester because nobody is going to run in behind them.
I think that is a real worry, so I am going to go for another draw here - although Swansea did look like they had just booked their summer holidays in Benidorm against Newcastle last weekend.

It is always much easier to be the chasing club in the title race but, even so, Tottenham are playing extremely well at the moment.
They have always had skilful players but they have now got application and endeavour too, and they never roll over. Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has done a wonderful job.

Tottenham are built from the back but they have developed as the season has gone on and, at the moment, they are the best team in the league in every department.
West Brom have taken only one point from their last four games and it is hard to see their form improving on Monday.
However Leicester do on Sunday, Spurs will win this and keep the pressure on.

Woodfox was part of the group known as the "Angola Three", after the prison where they spent years in confinement.
He had been there since April 1972 for the murder of a prison guard.
Maintaining his innocence in the death of Brent Miller, Woodfox, 69, was finally freed after accepting the lesser charge of manslaughter.
The plea bargain was negotiated with state prosecutors.
Twice in decades of legal battles, his murder conviction was thrown out of court, yet Louisiana state prosecutors were preparing to try him a third time.
He finally agreed to plead no contest to lesser charges in exchange for freedom but insisted this was not an admission of guilt.
"Although I was looking forward to proving my innocence at a new trial, concerns about my health and my age have caused me to resolve this case now and obtain my release with this no contest plea to lesser charges," he said in a statement on Friday.
"I hope the events of today will bring closure to many."
How do you survive solitary confinement?
Before driving off from Feliciana Parish Detention Center, in St Francisville, with his brother, Woodfox told media he wanted to visit his mother's gravesite.
She died while he was in prison and Woodfox said he had not been allowed to go to the funeral.
At the time of Mr Miller's death, Woodfox was in Louisiana's notorious Angola prison for armed robbery and assault.
He was accused of grabbing the guard from behind while others stabbed him with a lawnmower blade and a hand-sharpened prison knife.
Woodfox was placed in solitary and ordered to be kept on "extended lockdown" every 90 days for decades.
His lawyers say he was confined to his cell for 23 hours a day.
The other members of the "Angola Three", Robert King and Herman Wallace, were released in 2001 and 2013 respectively.
Wallace, also convicted over Mr Miller's murder, died soon after his release pending a new trial. King's conviction was overturned.
Woodfox and Wallace were involved with the Black Panthers, a militant black rights movement formed in 1966 for self-defence against police brutality and racism.
Tata Steel, which employs more than 7,500 people in Wales, revealed plans to close the final salary pension scheme on Friday.
Trade unions accuse Tata Steel of being "hell bent" on closing the pension scheme and refusing to compromise.
Tata said it will consult employees on the closure of the pension scheme.
The firm has sites in Port Talbot, Llanwern in Newport, Shotton in Flintshire and Trostre, Carmarthenshire.
A company spokesman said: "We have been unable come to an agreement that would have enabled defined benefit provision to continue.
"We remain committed to providing employees with competitive future pension provision,"
It proposes to replace the current pension scheme with a defined contribution one.
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community trade union, said Tata's decision to close the current scheme is "unnecessary and profoundly disappointing".
He said: "We have made every effort to compromise with the company, even discussing the possibility of meeting the deficit through changes to member benefits. Sadly, the company rejected this offer.
"We have lost all faith in the company and its leadership, which has brought us to the brink of a major national industrial dispute for the first time in over 30 years."
Tata Steel insists that it is cooperating with the unions.
"Those discussions have been held in a constructive and transparent atmosphere," said its spokesman.

Officers were called to Duck Lane, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, after concerns for the safety of people inside were reported on Wednesday evening.
The man, named locally as married father-of-three Richard Davies, was shot by a firearms officer about 15 minutes later and died at the scene.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating.
A spokesman for the watchdog said the man's next of kin had been informed and the area would remain cordoned off "for some time" while IPCC investigations took place.
Cambridgeshire Police said it would "not be appropriate to comment further" at this stage, but said it was the first time firearms officers have shot someone dead in the county.
No-one else was injured in the incident.
Mr Davies, a fitter believed to have been in his 40s, was described as a friendly family man by neighbours.
He worked for mechanical engineering firm Bosch Rexroth in nearby Cromwell Road.
A spokesman said the company was "saddened" but could not comment further as there was an ongoing investigation.
Residents reported hearing raised voices shortly before the police arrived at the house.
One said: "There was definitely some kind of row last night. We heard shouting for a few minutes then it seemed to die down."
Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I heard three loud bangs and thought they were fireworks."
Resident Mary Bath, 65, said: "We heard the bangs and joked it sounded like gunfire. Suddenly there were police everywhere and we realised it was serious."
Stevens, 39, has had the cue since becoming a professional in 1994 and it has helped him win the 2000 Masters and 2003 UK titles.
It was taken from his white BMW between 20:00 BST on Sunday and 08:30 on Monday while it was parked on Gilbert Crescent in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.
Stevens has promised a reward for the safe return of his cue.
It was in a black case with the word MAXIMUS written in gold on the case.
Dyfed-Powys Police is investigating the theft.
Stevens, from Carmarthen, has twice been a World Championship finalist, losing to Mark Williams in 2000 and Shaun Murphy in 2005.
Fife Council said it was starting a review of specifications for future projects and existing cladding used on buildings.
Edinburgh is to review fire safety and evacuation procedures in all blocks.
Rescuers in London have said they do not expect to find any survivors in Grenfell Tower, north Kensington.
The block was engulfed in a massive fire in the early hours of Wednesday morning which spread rapidly to most of the building's 24 storeys.
Seventeen people have been confirmed dead, but police have warned this number will rise. People have been desperately seeking news of missing family and friends.
Thirty people remain in hospital - 15 of whom are in a critical condition.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government would be ready to take any necessary action following an investigation into the fire.
Speaking at First Minister's Questions, she said: "The investigation into this fire is clearly at a very early stage and while there appear to be very serious questions to be answered we must be careful not to speculate at this stage.
"That said, members will wish to know that the local government minister has this morning discussed the fire with local authority colleagues.
"A ministerial group will also be convened to review Scottish regulations and to ensure we are standing ready to take any actions necessary as lessons are learned form this catastrophic fire."
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but the BBC has learned that the cladding installed on Grenfell Tower was also used on other buildings that have been hit by fires around the world.
The exterior cladding, added in 2015, had a polyethylene - or plastic - core instead of an even more fireproof alternative, BBC Newsnight understands.
High-rise buildings in France, the UAE and Australia that had similar cladding have all been hit by fires that spread.
A spokesman for Fife Council said: "We are confident our fire safety procedures and over-cladding specifications are safe.
"To further reassure tenants and residents, we have agreed to start a review of our specification for future projects, and this will include a review of the existing over-cladding that has been used in Fife. We will issue information updates as this review is taken forward."
Aberdeen City Council has reassured its tenants and residents that it constantly ensured its buildings "met required standards and regulations".
"However, in the wake of the fire in London, we are working closely with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service about additional advice which can be given to tenants and residents.
"While investigations are ongoing in London, there have been concerns in the media from tenants in London about over-cladding, and we would like to give the following assurances.
"All of our over-cladded buildings were designed to comply with Scottish Building Regulations, and have been subject to building warrant approval, detailed design and specifications showing compliance with regulations and an inspection regime."
Mary Taylor, chief executive of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, said she was "shocked and saddened" by the fire in London.
"None of us should rush to judgement or action until we know what led to the fire and, importantly, why people could not escape," she said.
"While we wait to hear findings as to the cause, or causes, of the fire, we are, in the meantime, working with members to assess the situation in Scotland.
"Our members will make any adjustments that are deemed necessary to maintain the safety of their properties."
Building standards in Scotland are a devolved issue and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service works with local authorities and housing associations to ensure the safety of occupants in high-rise buildings.
Since Wednesday's massive fire, many local authorities in Scotland have moved to reassure tenants and residents that their buildings are safe.
Glasgow Housing Association said it had a "robust approach" in place to minimise the risk of fire and to prevent it spreading.
Wheatley Group director of property and development Tom Barclay added: "The materials used in our multi-storey investment programme meet all building standards and regulations for this type of property.
"We also carry out regular patrols and inspections as part of our broader approach to health and safety."
Allan Henderson, from Highland Council, said: "We are confident of the fire safety of our housing stock in relation to building standards and conditions, but will obviously consider the factors involved in the Grenfell Tower fire as details emerge on this and implement any fire safety recommendations for social landlords."
The Bluebirds were second from bottom when former boss Paul Trollope was sacked in October.
Under current manager Neil Warnock, Cardiff have climbed up to 13th place with three games left in the campaign.
"We were right down there at the start of the season so I think we've come a long way," said Peltier.
"If we finish in the top half, it just makes you think what could have been if we'd started off properly. We would have been right up there."
Asked if he was envious of the clubs competing for promotion, Peltier said: "Yeah, definitely. You're always looking to see the results and who's in and who's not in. It's going right down to the wire at both ends."
Peltier returned from an ankle injury to make his first appearance since January as Cardiff beat Nottingham Forest on Easter Monday.
The 30-year-old, who played for 64 minutes against Forest before being substituted, had initially feared his season was over.
"The plan was to get through it and get it sorted at the end of the season, but against Preston [in January] my ankle just locked up, and I thought 'enough is enough'," said Peltier.
"I went to see the surgeon and he operated on it straight away. It was quite a big operation so I was glad to get it sorted. I feel good and I'm just looking to get myself back fit.
"I was due to be out for the season, but I've come back quite quick. The gaffer's been telling me not to push it, but I've been wanting to come back in the squad. If I'd have left it, it would have been a long time from when I'd been injured until pre-season, so I didn't want to be out that long."
With little to play for between now and the end of the season, Warnock has repeatedly said in recent weeks he is already planning for the next campaign.
Despite being described by his manager as one of the best right-backs in the Championship, Peltier is not taking his place in the squad for granted.
"I wouldn't say fine - you never know in football do you? Everyone's fighting for places and I think competition in the team is very good," he added.
"It will just make us stronger, there's a good team spirit in the dressing room and there's no jealousy or anything like that. It will be good to get some fresh faces in and see what happens."
The software is also surreptitiously installing apps and spying on the browsing habits of victims.
The malware is currently making about $300,000 (£232,000) a month for its creators, suggests research.
The majority of phones that have been compromised by the malicious software are in China.
A spike in the number of phones infected by the malware was noticed separately by security companies Checkpoint and Lookout. The malware family is called Shedun by Lookout but Hummingbad by Checkpoint
In a blogpost, Checkpoint said it had obtained access to the command-and-control servers that oversee infected phones which revealed that Hummingbad was now on about 10 million devices. China, India, the Philippines and Indonesia top the list of nations with most phones infected by the software.
Hummingbad is a type of malware known as a rootkit that inserts itself deep inside a phone's operating system to help it avoid detection and to give its controllers total control over the handset.
The ability to control phones remotely has been used to click on ads to make them seem more popular than they actually are. The access has also been used to install fake versions of popular apps or spread programs the gang has been paid to promote.
"It can remain persistent even if the user performs a factory reset," wrote Kristy Edwards from Lookout in a blogpost. "It uses its root privileges to install additional apps on to the device, further increasing ad revenue for the authors and defeating uninstall attempts."
Ms Edwards said the recent spike in infections could be driven by the gang behind the malware adding more functions or using their access to phones for different purposes.
The malware gets installed on handsets by exploiting loopholes in older versions of the Android operating system known as KitKat and JellyBean. The latest version of Android is known as Marshmallow.
In a statement, Google said: ""We've long been aware of this evolving family of malware and we're constantly improving our systems that detect it. We actively block installations of infected apps to keep users and their information safe."
Google released the latest security update for Android this month and it tackled more than 108 separate vulnerabilities in the operating system. So far this year, security updates for Android have closed more than 270 bugs.
The 31-year-old 800m and 1500m athlete from Cornwall competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2008 Olympics.
"I won't be able to run until at least April and then it's qualifying. It's a big ask," she told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"This was going to be my last push to make a real go at the Olympics - there was a real opportunity to go to Rio."
Simpson, who considered retiring in 2014, snapped her posterior tibial tendon - which supports the arch of the foot - in training.
She has been operated on by specialist foot surgeon James Calder, who has previously treated the likes of footballer Jack Wilshere.
"I'm not confident (of selection for the Olympics). It would be a miracle to do that now because I have to run the qualifying time and be ready for the trials, which is in seven months, and I've got three months off," added Simpson.
"I didn't feel any pain necessarily, but I heard something and my foot went limp - then I knew I'd done something quite major.
"It's hard to take the decision in your mind to stop, without having a reason to stop. It's hard to explain but when you have something like this, it takes the decision out of your hands."
The Welsh Government is consulting on two options to tackle congestion on the A494 and A55 around Queensferry and Deeside in Flintshire.
The blue route would change existing roads which residents have said would create noise and affect local routes.
The red option is to build a new link to the A55 at Northop which one farmer has said would spoil the countryside.
Northop farmer Robert Hodgkinson said: "The countryside can't speak for itself and there are very few to speak for it.
"We are told to protect the countryside so it is wrong that this countryside is lost."
A group of residents opposed to the blue route plans claimed the red route would affect fewer people.
A494 News Forum community group chairwoman Sue Clamp said it was unfair the blue route was being considered as similar options were rejected at a public inquiry in 2008 following a campaign by residents.
"People are asking why this has come up again," she said.
A public meeting is being held at St David's Hotel in Ewloe on Monday from 19:00 BST by the A494 News Forum group which is open to anyone.
The government consultation is open until June.
Jack Susianta was reported missing from his home in Hackney, east London, in July last year, an inquest heard.
His mother Anna said her son, who died in the canal at Walthamstow Marshes, had taken the drug MDMA at a festival the week before.
She said he had been "scared" and "trying to get away" from police.
Ms Susianta told St Pancras Coroner's Court her son was "sporty, enthusiastic and keen to enjoy life", but that he had a few anxieties and paranoia.
She spoke of how the family tried to keep Jack calm after he had taken MDMA at a music festival with friends in the previous week.
The family alerted the police when Jack punched his brother and best friend Sam in the face after finding the front door of their home locked.
He then "karate-kicked" his way through a window and fled. He was in his boxer shorts and socks.
The former teacher said: "When I called 999 I said he has got mental health issues. He is scared of the police and just trying to get away.
"In retrospect, after he died, I wished I had not called them. He might have had a better chance of survival."
Witnesses have claimed police refused to enter the water to save the teenager. But the Metropolitan Police have denied this, saying one officer risked his life and entered the water.
The inquest continues.
Paul White, 53, who was accused of falsely stating he had checked on Mr Rigg's health when he arrived at Brixton police station, denied perjury.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court returned a unanimous verdict after deliberating for just over two hours.
Mr Rigg's sister, Marcia Rigg described the verdict as "shocking".
Mr Rigg, 40, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and in the weeks before his death had not taken his medication.
He fell ill while being held in a police van on 21 August 2008 and later died in police custody.
Mr White told the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) in 2009 and then Mr Rigg's inquest in 2012 that he had checked on Mr Rigg in the police van.
But when confronted with CCTV footage, which showed he had not gone to the van, Mr White conceded he could not have visited the van when he said he had.
In a statement, Mr Rigg's family said the verdict "was a surprise".
Ms Rigg said: "I am devastated. The jury's verdict was a surprise to me and my family but we will continue to fight for full accountability for those officers who were on duty at Brixton police station.
"That a custody sergeant can give false evidence in connection with a death in custody, something he accepts he did, is a shocking state of affairs."
Deborah Coles, director of campaign group Inquest, criticised the IPCC's handling of the case.
"Sean Rigg's family have struggled at every stage of this eight-year process for honesty, truth and justice," she said.
"The failure of the IPCC to conduct an efficient, robust and competent investigation and the inexcusable delays in CPS decision-making have been exposed as a barrier to proper democratic police accountability. "
In a speech in Colorado, the Fed's number two policymaker was upbeat about the economy's recovery and prospects.
"We are close to our targets," he said on Sunday, adding that jobs growth had been "remarkably resilient".
He did not mention interest rates, but the remarks are likely to fuel debate about when they may rise.
Mr Fischer said this year's pace of jobs growth, although slower than in 2015, was "more than enough" for the labour market to continue to improve.
He told a conference in Aspen that inflation outside of food and energy prices was "within hailing distance" of 2%, the Fed's target rate.
In recent years, he said, the US economy had had to confront the Greek debt crisis, a rise in the strength of the dollar, and sporadic financial turbulence.
"Yet, even amid these shocks, the labour market continued to improve: employment has continued to increase, and the unemployment rate is currently close to most estimates of the natural rate," Mr Fischer said.
"I believe it is a remarkable, and perhaps under-appreciated, achievement that the economy has returned to near-full employment in a relatively short time after the great recession, given the historical experience following a financial crisis," he said.
One major concern, however, was the slowdown over the past few years in US productivity growth. If it persisted, Mr Fischer said, it would curtail jobs and wage growth.
He would not comment on the path for interest rates. There has been growing expectation that the Fed will raise rates this year - as long as the economy continues to strengthen.
Mr Fischer said he expected US growth "to pick up in coming quarters".
The comments come ahead of a speech that Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen is due to deliver on Friday, when she is expected to give guidance on interest rate policy.
Ms Yellen is also expected to sound a positive note. Economists said it was unlikely that Mr Fischer would want to say anything that could be contradicted on Friday.
"It would be quite an event if Fischer went out so close to Yellen's speech" and said something she disagreed with, former Fed board economist Roberto Perli told the Bloomberg news agency.
Eight other Taiwanese were deported to mainland China on Monday, prompting Taiwan to accuse Beijing of "extrajudicial abduction".
China has praised Kenya for supporting its "one-China policy".
Beijing views Taiwan - self-ruling since 1950 - as a renegade region that must be reunited with the mainland.
It insists that other countries cannot recognise both China and Taiwan, with the result that Taiwan has formal diplomatic ties with only a few countries.
Taiwan does not have formal diplomatic relations with Kenya.
Taiwan's foreign ministry said Kenyan police had forced 22 Taiwanese citizens, arrested on suspicion of fraud, to board a plane bound for China on Tuesday, despite protests from John Chen, Taiwan's representative to South Africa.
Another 15 Taiwanese, who had been acquitted in the case, were also coerced into boarding the plane, it said.
Officials said some of the deportees had tried to prevent Kenyan police from entering their jail cell, as video posted by Taiwan's Central News Agency appears to show.
The police broke down a wall, "threw tear gas" and brandished "assault rifles" to force them on to the plane, Antonio CS Chen, the chief of the West Asian and African Affairs section of Taiwan's foreign ministry, told reporters.
He said Chinese diplomatic officials had been present.
Taiwan's representatives from South Africa had rushed to Kenya to try to stop the deportations but they were prevented by the Kenyan authorities, who worked closely with Beijing, from gaining access to the Taiwanese.
Officials say the Taiwanese may have worked with Chinese nationals in a telecommunications fraud ring to cheat people in China of money. But regardless, they say, the two sides had worked out a verbal agreement not to extradite each other's people in such cases, following a similar incident involving the Philippines extraditing Taiwanese crime suspects to China in 2011.
It took nearly five months for Taiwan to negotiate their transfer back to Taiwan.
The fact that this is happening just a month before Taiwan's newly elected President Tsai Ing-wen takes office is no coincidence. It is widely believed that Beijing is doing this to put pressure on Tsai to recognize that the two sides are part of one China. She comes from a party that favours Taiwan's independence and has so far remained vague on the issue.
By taking the Taiwanese in Kenya, Beijing is sending a strong message to Ms Tsai that the honeymoon period for her is over and more of these headaches await her after she takes office if she continues to ignore China's demand.
Taiwan's first female leader, shy but steely
Kenyan government spokesman Eric Kiraithe defended the legal process that had led to the deportations.
He said Kenyan courts relied on information available and he rejected what he called media insinuations.
An interior ministry spokesman told Reuters news agency the 37 people had come "from China and we took them to China", adding that Kenya had "an obligation to ensure if people are here illegally they are taken back to where they came from".
When asked about the case, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters: "The one-China policy is an important pre-condition for bilateral relations with China and other countries. We commend Kenya for its upholding of this policy."
The former Communities Secretary wrote to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn calling for "John Clarke" to be suspended from the party for an anti-Israel tweet.
He mistook John Clarke of Nottinghamshire's Gedling Borough Council with John Clarke, who sits on Black Notley Parish Council in Essex.
The Essex councillor has denied he holds anti-Semitic views.
A Conservative spokesman said: "We apologise to Councillor Clarke for the mistake made."
Michael Payne, deputy leader of Gedling Borough Council, said he wanted Sir Eric to withdraw his "disgraceful" comments.
He said: "It's an outrageous slur against John and we're calling on Mr Pickles to apologise personally and publicly for this."
"They've clearly done research in writing this letter, but haven't done the basics. Apologise now - you are plain wrong."
Mr Corbyn launched an independent inquiry into anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in the Labour Party in April 2016 headed by Baroness Chakrabati, former head of the campaign group Liberty.
Her report found the party was not overrun by anti-Semitism but there was evidence of "minority hateful or ignorant attitudes and behaviours".
Sir Eric, Conservative MP for Brentwood and Ongar, wrote in the letter to Mr Corbyn: "This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate that Labour is committed to the new definition of anti-Semitism.
"Failure to do so would be an appalling dereliction of duty to Jewish people across the country and will raise serious questions about your commitment to stamping out anti-Semitism in Labour."
Sir Eric, chairman of Conservative Friends of Israel, was awarded a knighthood in 2015.
Samantha Kerr came closest to scoring for Australia in the first half, hitting a volley into the side netting.

Australia face the winners of Tuesday's game between Japan and Netherlands.
Brazil topped their group after winning all three games, but came undone in Moncton after conceding their only goal of the tournament.

Earlier in the tournament, striker Marta, 29, became the World Cup's leading scorer with 15 goals, but she was unable to inspire her team to a positive result.
"We controlled the game, the statistics show that, the chances showed that but we lost the game and we are out," said Brazil coach Vadao.
"Australia were very efficient and clinical when it counted with the goal, congratulations to them."
Now aged 65, Mr McGuinness will be 70 by the time the next Northern Ireland Assembly term is due to conclude.
However, he said he still has the "energy of a 20-year-old" and that very few people could "keep up" with him.
He said he recognises that no one goes on forever, but added his age is less important than his energy and health.
Mr McGuinness, who has held the post of Northern Ireland deputy first minister since 2007, made his remarks on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics programme.
Both the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) will contest this year's Northern Ireland Assembly elections with newly-appointed leaders.
Speaking about his own party, Mr McGuinness said: "I think Sinn Féin always has to look at the whole issue of transition and we are looking seriously at that, but I have the energy of a 20-year-old, there's not too many people that can actually keep up with me."
When he was asked about the possibility of him standing for political office again in 2021, Mr McGuinness did not rule it out.
"That would be something that I would have to seriously consider at that stage, but I certainly intend to lead Sinn Féin into this election," he said.
He also told Inside Politics that his party will mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme later this year in an appropriate and respectful manner.
He said he regarded this as a priority in the current year of significant anniversaries.
He predicted that Sinn Féin would get a "substantially increased mandate" south of the Irish border after the forthcoming general election in the Republic of Ireland.
He said he believes there is a "strong possibility" that Sinn Féin will be in government in Dublin by the summer.
Mr McGuinness reiterated that if Sinn Féin emerges from the Northern Ireland assembly elections in May as the largest single party, he will immediately offer to change the title of the top two jobs at Stormont to "joint first ministers" of Northern Ireland.
Inside Politics will be broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster at 18:05 GMT on Friday 15 January and will be repeated at 13:35 GMT on Sunday 16 January.
He again rejected allegations that Russia had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.
And he said sanctions against Russia were also hurting the US and Europe.
Mr Trump had voiced hopes for improved relations with Moscow, but he has been dogged by claims of links between his election campaign and Russia.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and both houses of the US Congress are investigating alleged Russian interference in the election.
Russia 'tried to hijack US election', Senate hearing told
Mr Putin, speaking at an Arctic forum in Arkhangelsk in northern Russia, said he would be "glad" to meet Mr Trump at a summit of the Arctic Council in Helsinki in May.
"Both side should prepare such events," he said. "If not, then such a meeting could take place within the framework of the usual meetings, at the G20."
Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, whose country is due to take the rotating leadership of the Arctic Council, said he would be honoured to host such a meeting.
The G20 summit of world powers is set to convene in the northern German city of Hamburg in early July.
Mr Putin criticised "endless and groundless" allegations that Russia interfered in the US election, and what he termed the use of the "Russian card" in US politics.
"Do we want to completely cut relations?'' he asked. "Do we want to bring the situation to what it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960s?
"I very much hope that sometime - the sooner the better - the situation will return to normal. I very much hope that we'll... improve Russian-American relations, for the good of our peoples, and for the whole world."
Mr Putin said he would support President Trump in fighting terrorism, and co-operate with the Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency.
He added that he was ready to work with the new US presidential administration on fighting Islamic State in Syria.
Earlier this year, Slovenia offered to host a meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Trump. Mr Putin offered thanks, but said it would depend on Washington.
Western nations imposed sanctions on Russia over its annexation of the Crimea and its role in the Ukraine crisis.
Meanwhile, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has criticised the BBC for reporting on the alleged role of a Russian embassy worker in Mr Trump's election as US president.
BBC Washington correspondent Paul Wood quotes reliable sources as saying that the US government had identified Mikhail Kalugin - who left Washington last year - as a spy.
Ms Zakharova condemned the "false and absurd claims" in what she described as "a fake from the BBC and its Washington correspondent".
Geraldine Rice and Vasundhara Kamble are now supporting the SDLP having resigned as Alliance councillors.
Speaking after her party's election manifesto launch, Naomi Long said she used the word "balloons" on a private social media site.
"I think most people will be surprised all I said was balloons," she said.
Mrs Long said the two former councillors had set out to "damage" her party.
She also responded to a Belfast Telegraph story which reported that the Alliance Party had encouraged members to ring the BBC Talkback programme's election phone-in with "softball " questions for her.
The newspaper said the party's head of communications, Scott Jamison, had used a social media site to say that the party could "hijack " the BBC Radio Ulster phone-in and suggested party members should "feel free to use a fake name and location if you're so inclined".
Ms Long said the story was "a storm in a teacup", adding that the posts were made in a "tongue-in-cheek manner".
In response to the Belfast Telegraph story a BBC spokesperson said its radio phone-in programmes regularly attracted a high volume of callers who wanted to share their views live on air.
"Our production teams do their best to assess each caller to ensure they contribute to a fair and balanced discussion which our presenters chair live," said the spokesperson.
The Alliance Party's 85-page manifesto - entitled How to change Northern Ireland for Good - includes plans for political reform, the economy, education and mitigating the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland.
It calls for an end to the abuse of Petitions of Concern at Stormont. The cross-community voting system triggered by Petitions of Concern was introduced as a guarantee against majority rule in Northern Ireland.
Alliance wants to introduce a single equality bill and says it will continue to campaign for special Brexit status for Northern Ireland.
The party also wants to expand integrated education and opposes any repeal of the Human Rights Act.
Ms Long said she was suffering from "lurgy ", but joked with journalists that this was different to the "man flu" that DUP leader Arlene Foster said precluded her from taking questions from the press at the DUP's manifesto launch on Monday.
In contrast, Naomi Long said she would happily answer reporters' queries.
She said next week's election was about "choosing people fit to govern".
The party had eight MLAS in the last Assembly and Ms Long said her target was to hold on to those seats next week.
She said after the election there will be negotiations and said the last thing Northern Ireland needed was "another patch-up arrangement".
Previously, motorists in some police force areas could avoid points by taking a remedial driving course.
But ministers believe it is not a tough enough measure to deter people from using a hand-held phone while driving.
They have also confirmed plans to raise fines for offences from £100 to £200 and penalty points from three to six.
The scrapping of the driving course option is among several measures announced in a government response to a consultation on punishments for drivers caught using hand-held phones.
The government first announced in September that it was going to increase fines and double penalty points.
Details of the new measures, which are due to take effect next year, follow the jailing last month of lorry driver Tomasz Kroker, who killed a mother and three children while distracted by his phone.
Ministers will also launch a consultation on dangerous driving offences by the end of the year.
Speaking during a visit to India, Mrs May said she wanted to make using a mobile phone at the wheel as socially unacceptable as drink-driving.
She said the government would work with the public to "raise awareness" of the dangers of driving and dialling.
She said that punishments for drivers who killed and maimed people because their attention had been on their phone should be made to "fit the crime", as a deterrent to other motorists.
The number of fines issued for motorists caught using a mobile phone illegally has plummeted by 84% since 2011.
Some 16,900 drivers were handed fixed-penalty notices in England and Wales last year, compared with 123,100 in 2011, Home Office data shows.
Motoring groups believe the decline is due to a 27% fall in the number of full-time dedicated roads policing officers in England and Wales (excluding London) between 2010 and 2015.
Department for Transport figures show that a driver being impaired or distracted by their phone had been a contributory factor in 440 accidents in Britain last year, including 22 which were fatal and 75 classed as serious.
Mrs May said: "Sadly, we have seen too many times the devastating and heart-breaking consequences of using a mobile phone while driving.
"A moment's distraction can wreck the lives of others forever.
"We are determined to make our roads safer by taking action against those who flout the law and put other people at risk."
Steve Gooding, director of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: "By ruling out courses and doubling the fine, ministers are reflecting public concern and showing they want to stamp out a potentially lethal activity before it becomes entrenched behaviour for a growing number of drivers."
The measures will not affect Northern Ireland, where drivers are currently given three penalty points and a £60 fine for the offence.
The Department for Infrastructure has said there are no plans to change this, but it "will continue to monitor changes being made in Britain to see what can be learned".
It said it was evaluating whether to launch an investigation.
Pitt's wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce on Monday citing irreconcilable differences.
Jolie has asked for physical custody of the couple's six children, asking the judge to give Pitt visitation rights.
The FBI told the BBC: "In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued."
Pitt released a statement to People magazine after Jolie filed for divorce, saying he was "saddened", and adding: "What matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
Jolie's lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision to divorce had been made "for the health of the family".
Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services said it could not confirm or deny whether it was investigating Pitt because of confidentiality laws.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has said it is not investigating actor Brad Pitt in connection with reports of allegations regarding his children, following claims they were looking into the matter.
They told the BBC: "The LAPD is not handling any report or allegations into child abuse for Mr Brad Pitt."

Liverpool are yet to open talks with Allen, who was named in Uefa's team of Euro 2016 as Wales reached their first semi-final at a major tournament.
But Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is eager to resolve the 26-year-old's future.
Allen, who joined from Swansea in 2012, wants first-team games after starting only eight in the league in 2015-16.
Liverpool rejected an £8m offer from Swansea City for their former player in June and it is understood the Welsh club are still interested in Allen.
Allen is open to the idea of staying at Liverpool should he be guaranteed a more regular starts at Anfield but Klopp preferred Jordan Henderson, Lucas, Emre Can and James Milner in midfield last season.
The Wales international has had a rollercoaster Liverpool career since joining the club for £15m in the summer of 2012.
He was part of the squad that helped Liverpool gain second place in the Premier League in 2013-14 but has often been the brunt of fan criticism.
Allen did score a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw with leaders Arsenal in January 2016 before scoring the winning penalty in a shootout against Stoke City to send Liverpool to a League Cup final against Manchester City.
Allen is currently on holiday after Euro 2016 and is not due back in Liverpool training until late July.
The 26-year-old Brazilian's Bluebirds' contract included a release clause understood to be around £2 million.
"We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Fabio for his contribution during his two and a half years at the club and wish him the very best for his future," Cardiff said.
Bluebirds boss Paul Trollope confirmed yesterday a deal was close.
"He's in talks with them and within the next 24 to 48 hours that might be concluded," he told BBC Radio Wales after the 1-0 defeat by Bristol Rovers.
Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo has already said players are likely to leave the Cardiff City Stadium before others are brought in.
"We could see a lot of movement in the last week of August, when the transfer window is about to close," said Choo.
"Everything is still up in the air.
"We have a few targets to go but it really depends on players leaving as well, players who we feel should move on."
The Bluebirds are closing in on a deal to sign Wales midfielder Emyr Huws.

The buyer is an international investment firm, Cerberus Capital Management, based in New York.
It is understood they paid more than £1bn.
Nama's properties include office blocks, shopping developments, pubs and hotels and development land, and the Northern Ireland deal represents its largest single transaction.
Nama (National Asset Management Agency) was set up to handle property loans made by the Republic of Ireland's banks before the financial crash.
The Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, reported the deal was for more than £1.3bn.
Nama had previously revealed that it paid around £1.1bn for the loans when it acquired them from the Irish banks.
However, as the loans originally had a value of £4.5bn, Irish taxpayers will still have lost out as ultimately they paid for the recapitalisation of the banks.
First Minister Peter Robinson said the sale was "excellent news for the Northern Ireland economy".
"For some time I have made clear the danger to the local economy of leaving valuable assets undeveloped and the threat that these posed to otherwise profitable businesses. I believe that this deal can be of real benefit to our economy," Mr Robinson said.
By John CampbellBBC News NI Economics & Business Editor
Nama was a huge player in the local property market.
It controlled loans related to office blocks, shopping developments, hotels and pubs.
It was set up during the Republic of Ireland's banking crisis when the Dublin-based banks were collapsing under the weight of huge, often toxic, property loans made during the boom.
Nama bought over all those loans. Its job has been to get its money back by selling the properties or the loans themselves.
These loans have now been sold at a big discount to Cerberus Capital - the deal is understood to be around £1bn.
This effectively gives Cerberus control over almost 1,000 properties.
This is likely to lead to greatly increased activity in the local property market as the new owner manages its portfolio, does deals with borrowers and makes sales.
"I am grateful to the authorities in the Republic for the way in which this transaction has been handled and the importance of assisting the Northern Ireland economy."
The first minister said he had spoken to Nama chairman Frank Daly and former United States Vice President Dan Quayle of Cerberus Capital Management on Thursday evening.
He said the conversation with Cerberus provided "great encouragement that they will work with the developers and the executive to the benefit of all concerned".
"Dan Quayle offered to send a team to Belfast to meet with us to discuss the way forward and we intend to take him up on that offer.
"In the weeks to come the Northern Ireland Executive will work with Cerberus to ensure that the deal can help kick-start growth in this area of our economy."
Michael Noonan, the Irish finance minister, said: "Today's announcement by Nama of the sale of their Northern Ireland loan book to Cerberus is very good news for the Irish taxpayer, Nama and the Northern Irish economy.
"This is the biggest loan sale that Nama have completed to date and highlights the progress the agency is making in generating a return on its assets for the Irish taxpayer."
Sinn Féin's finance spokesperson, Pearse Doherty TD (member of Irish parliament), said he was concerned that Nama had not got the best price for the portfolio.
He said: "This policy of accelerated disposals seems reckless to me.
"A gigantic volume of loans and money has just transferred hands and the ball seems to have begun rolling on this only a couple of short months ago.
"Fire sales at the cusp of property price and economic recovery ring every alarm bell there is.
"While I support Nama's endeavours to dispose of loans effectively, I am concerned that, with six years to go until the agency's wind-up, they may be jumping that bit too soon at interested investors."
Charlie Dunn died in hospital after being found submerged at Bosworth Water Park in Leicestershire on 23 July.
A police statement said the couple, believed to be Charlie's mother Lynsey Dunn and stepfather Paul Smith, were "effectively no longer under arrest".
However, the force emphasised the investigation into the boy's death was still ongoing.
The couple were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.
The 50-metre high structures would connect a proposed nuclear power station to the electricity network.
National Grid agreed to bury cables within the Lake District National Park, but for parts of the route the pylons would be close to its boundaries.
Cumbria Tourism said this would impact nearby scenic areas.
The organisation said it did not oppose the National Grid's development plans in principle and welcomed the revised plans to bury them within the national park boundaries.
However, it fears those pylons close to the national park might have a detrimental effect on the tourism industry.
A public consultation on the proposed route from Moorside, to Heysham, Lancashire, is under way.
Jeanette Unsworth, from National Grid, said: "What's very important to this project is the cost we pass on to the bill payer.
"This project isn't paid for by National Grid, it's paid for by all of us through our electricity bills, so we've got to strike a balance between protecting those environments and keeping energy bills affordable for our users."
Author Patricia Cornwell asked experts from the University of Leicester to track down his last victim, Mary Kelly.
Those who located and identified the 15th Century king under a car park in 2012 were approached to find Kelly's grave and analyse her remains.
The team said likely relatives had yet to be identified and also confirmed her bones may have been lost forever.
Jack the Ripper's violent crimes sent shockwaves through Victorian society in the autumn of 1888 with a series of increasingly grisly murders in London's impoverished East End.
Ripper historian Richard Jones said: "Mary Kelly is thought to be the last victim and is the most enigmatic.
"Almost nothing is known of her for certain - not even her name. All the information we have comes from what she told friends, and we know from the other murders that aliases and tall tales were common."
She was buried in St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Leytonstone, on 19 November 1888. Despite many claims, the Ripper has never been identified.
US crime writer Cornwell, who has just published a second book on the Ripper, said: "My focus is on the victims and I want to know what they can tell us.
"Mary Kelly's remains, in particular, are of enormous interest because he spent more time with her body than any (of the other victims) because she was indoors.
"In addition we could give her the dignity she deserves and perhaps, through DNA, satisfy claims that she has descendants alive today."
Dr Turi King, who confirmed Richard III's bones through DNA matches with surviving relatives, had decided more evidence was needed to identify potential descendants of Kelly.
She said: "If we could locate the remains and securely identify them, then analysing the DNA would mean screening of potential relatives could go ahead.
"But, crucially, you would need to show there was a good chance of finding those remains and be more confident we have relatives to test."
Archaeologist Mathew Morris and genealogist Prof Kevin Schürer also searched archives and surveyed the cemetery.
This confirmed the marker for Kelly's grave was only in an approximate location, and the area - set aside for local authority burials - had been heavily reused.
Ultimately the team decided tracing the grave, even if it had survived, would require a "herculean" effort with limited chance of success.
Dr King said: "Patricia was absolutely fine with it. She got us in to look at the issues and accepted our findings." | Dame Helen Mirren and Idris Elba have both scored three nominations at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards.

But a childhood friend says he saw a marked change in Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, after he made a trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan several years ago.
The Afghan-born American had returned a "completely different person", according to the friend.
He seemed more stern and wore religious Muslim clothing.
Mr Rahami lived with family members above his place of work, First American Fried Chicken, in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Childhood friend Flee Jones said Mr Rahami had given him free food and space in the restaurant to hold rap contests.
Mr Jones said Mr Rahami was formerly his basketball partner, but that he had changed after returning from trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"It's like he was a completely different person," Mr Jones told the New York Times.
"He got serious and completely closed off."
Friends say Mr Rahami travelled to Quetta and Karachi, Pakistani cities that are home to a large community of Afghans who have fled conflict in their country.
What we know so far
Quetta is considered to be a haven for leaders from the exiled Afghan Taliban.
According to US media reports, Mr Rahami married while in Pakistan.
New Jersey congressman Albio Sires said Mr Rahami had contacted his office in 2014 during a visit to Pakistan.
He said his constituent had requested help obtaining a visa to bring his spouse to the US since her Pakistani passport had expired.
Citing law enforcement officials, CNN reported that Mr Rahami's wife had left the US in the days before the attacks.
US officials are working with Pakistan and United Arab Emirates officials to contact her, according to the report.
According to US media, Mr Rahami was found with a notebook that contained ramblings about terrorists following his arrest.
It reportedly referred to the Boston Marathon bombers and also mentioned Anwar al-Awlaki, the American imam killed by a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
Mr Rahami attended Middlesex County College in Edison, New Jersey, where he majored in criminal justice, from 2010-12, but he did not graduate according to school officials.
Recently he appeared to have been taking on more responsibility from his father in the running of First American Fried Chicken.
But neighbours' complaints about rowdy behaviour from patrons outside the all-night takeaway spot led city officials to pass an ordinance requiring the place to shut at 10pm each night.
Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said Mr Rahami's father had sued the city in 2011 over the ordinance.
He said he had been ethnically discriminated against, but lost the case.
This is not Ahmad Khan Rahami's first encounter with law enforcement.
In 2014, he was arrested on weapons and aggravated assault charges after he allegedly stabbed someone in the leg in a domestic incident, court documents showed.
Another patron of the fried chicken restaurant, Ryan McCann, said the bombing loved talking about his souped-up Honda Civic.
"He's a very friendly guy, that's what's so scary," said Mr McCann.
The body of Mr Peres, who died on Wednesday aged 93, is lying in state ahead of his funeral on Friday.
A huge security operation is under way for the ceremony in Jerusalem which will be attended by world leaders including US President Barack Obama.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he also plans to attend.
Thousands of Israelis passed by Mr Peres's coffin outside the Knesset (parliament) throughout the day to pay their respects.
"It's important that my children understand and respect what this man did, his values, his love for Israel, his want for peace," said Marielle Halimi, who waited outside for more than an hour to file past the coffin with her three children.
Earlier, Israeli leaders including President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed wreaths in a solemn ceremony.
Former US President Bill Clinton also travelled directly to the Knesset in Jerusalem after flying into Tel Aviv.
Mr Clinton helped to broker the 1993 Oslo peace accords for which Mr Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize the following year along with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Mr Clinton referred to Mr Peres as his "brilliant friend".
Mr Abbas said that by attending Friday's funeral he wanted to "send a strong message to Israeli society that the Palestinians are for peace, and appreciate the efforts of peaceful men like Shimon Peres", a senior Palestinian official said.
The Palestinian delegation will include chief negotiator Saeb Erekat and security chief Majid Faraj.
Other leaders set to attend include UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Mr Peres was one of the last of a generation of politicians present at Israel's birth in 1948.
He suffered a stroke two weeks ago and died on Wednesday in a hospital near Tel Aviv.
The funeral ceremony will be held at Mount Herzl Cemetery in Jerusalem.
The clip is an altered version of Donald Trump's appearance at a WWE wrestling event in 2007, in which he "attacked" franchise owner Vince McMahon in a scripted appearance.
The animation appears to have been posted to a pro-Trump internet forum earlier in the week.
CNN later accused the president of inciting violence against the media.
One panellist on ABC's morning show, Ana Navarro - a Republican Trump critic and CNN contributor - said "it is an incitement to violence. He is going to get somebody killed in the media."
But Homeland Security Adviser Thomas Bossert, who had appeared earlier on the same ABC programme, said: "No-one would perceive that as a threat."
The clip was submitted to a Donald Trump forum on the social media site Reddit four days ago, where it became one of the most popular posts.
After the president's tweets, Reddit users expressed disbelief at the president's use of the clip.
It was also retweeted by the official presidential Twitter account, @POTUS, operated by the White House.
Mr Trump has repeatedly clashed with the CNN news network, which he calls "fake news".
CNN's top White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who has been critical of the White House's attitude to the press, simply tweeted: "Isn't pro wrestling fake?"
Meanwhile, the CNN Communications team tweeted a seemingly sarcastic response quoting White House press officer Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said on Thursday: "The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary."
In a later statement, the news network said "clearly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied... [he is] involved in juvenile behaviour far below the dignity of this office."
"We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his."
Donald Trump has shown time and time again that he views politics as performance art; another reality television competition where the more drama and conflict there is, the better.
His CNN-wrestling video tweet is just the latest, most jarring example. For Mr Trump the political process is like a World Wrestling Entertainment match. The plot is contrived; the action is fake; the outcome predetermined.
During his campaign, he pulled back the curtain on the show and laughed along with his supporters at the spectacle. He encouraged his crowds to cheer the hero (him) and berate the villains (everyone else).
As president, nothing has changed. CNN has just been chosen as the latest number-one bad guy.
The president's tweet will certainly harshen the level of discourse in the nation. Already there are accusations that Mr Trump is inciting violence.
Most of his supporters, however, will see it as Mr Trump probably intended - the latest episode in the biggest show ever to hit the US political scene; the newest twist in the remaking of the modern US presidency.

Mr Trump's unusual tweet comes a day after he said his use of social media "is not Presidential - it's modern day presidential."
On Thursday, the president launched a crude personal attack on MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. His tweets were condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike.
Mr Trump has an entry in the World Wrestling Entertainment hall of fame for his appearance in the franchise a decade ago.
In 2007, franchise owner Vince McMahon challenged Mr Trump to a so-called "Battle of the Billionaires" at a Wrestlemania event, with a wager that the loser would have their head shaved.
The US professional wrestling scene is largely pre-scripted and seen as a form of entertainment rather than a sport.
During the same event, Mr Trump was "thrown" to the mat by wrestler Steve Austin with his signature move, "the stone cold stunner."
Rather than fighting directly, each business magnate backed a performer. Mr Trump's wrestler was victorious.
But on the sidelines of the ring, Donald Trump performed his scripted attack on McMahon, providing the original video for his beat-down of CNN.
Mr Trump then helped to shave McMahon's head on television.
Biggar missed a last-minute penalty after a head injury assessment.
In a post-match interview on Saturday, Biggar said: "I can't really remember much of the last 10 minutes, to be honest. I was a little bit dazed."
Ospreys say the Wales international, 27, must pass return-to-play protocols before playing again.
He was absent for nine minutes after leaving the field in the 59th minute following a clash of heads.
In a statement on Sunday, Ospreys said their medical staff were "satisfied" Biggar was fit to return.
"Having resumed playing, Dan reported no further symptoms and his actions caused no undue concern for the medical team at that time," the club said.
"Dan will continue to be monitored as part of the HIA (head injury assessment) protocol in case of any delayed reaction.
"The medical welfare and wellbeing of players is the utmost priority of everybody involved at the Ospreys at all times."
In a post-match interview, Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy said Biggar was the right person to take the potentially match-winning kick from 40 metres out.
"I'm sure if Biggs didn't really feel like it at the time he'd have given the ball to Sam Davies," said Tandy.
"Dan has gone through the HIA, he's passed all the tests and we wouldn't be putting someone back on we didn't feel was right and ready to partake on the field.
"There's definitely no finger pointing. You can go across the board and go back to the last final we won and Biggs' kick from the sideline won the match."
Biggar returned to the field with his head bandaged and moved to centre, with Sam Davies having moved from full-back to the number 10 shirt.
The kick came in overtime following Leinster replacement Ross Byrne's 80th-minute drop-goal that edged the visitors ahead after they had trailed 18-17 from the 63rd minute.
The result means Ospreys have lost their last three matches, including defeats against Treviso in the Pro12 and Stade Francais in the European Challenge Cup, but remain third in the Pro12 table.
However their buffer over fifth place was cut to two points after Scarlets rose to fourth by beating Treviso with a bonus point later in the day.
Tandy says the side have to beat Cardiff Blues at the Principality Stadium on 15 April's Welsh Judgement Day to maintain their place in the play-off places.
"It's a massive game for us," he said.
"The Blues are playing pretty well, but ultimately we know we need to win that game to stay in control of our own destiny going into the last two games."
After that match Ospreys face their two play-off rivals - Ulster at home on 29 April and Scarlets away on 6 May.
St James 3, including the Lansbury Park Estate, has overtaken Rhyl West 2 in the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation.
Seven of the 10 most deprived areas were also among the worst in the last list three years ago.
Ministers said it showed that action was still needed to improve life for people in those communities.
More than 1,900 communities are ranked by looking at factors like income, employment, education and health.
Rhyl West 2 had been named as the most deprived community in the previous two reports, in 2011 and 2008.
The most deprived areas were still being found mainly in the south Wales valleys, inner city Cardiff and Swansea, and north Wales coastal towns, the Welsh government said.
Queensway 1 in Wrexham - which includes the Caia Park Estate - has been ranked third most deprived with Tylorstown 1, Rhondda Cynon Taf, in fourth.
Townhill 1 in Swansea has improved, falling from 6th most deprived in 2011 to 31st in 2014, with improvements noted in the areas of income, employment and education.
But Splott 6 in Cardiff did relatively worse, rising from 36th place to ninth, with employment and education highlighted as key factors.
Blaenau Gwent was the local authority with the highest proportion of areas in the most deprived 10%, while Monmouthshire had no areas in the most deprived 10%.
Seven of the 10 most deprived communities in 2014 were also in the top 10 for 2011, and all received funding under the Welsh government's Communities First scheme.
Communities and Tackling Poverty Minister Lesley Griffiths denied this meant such policies had failed.
"We know there are pockets of very stubborn poverty and deprivation and it's really important that our programmes are out there working in these areas," she said.
"We need to make sure that we're supporting people and I will look obviously at the programmes we're putting in, the funding we're putting in and at the performance of these areas."
After years of being labelled the most deprived community in Wales, Rhyl has passed that role onto the area of Caerphilly which includes Lansbury Park.
In reality being first, second, third or 10th is not very significant, in that all those positions go to communities in Wales struggling with a host of problems that are linked to poverty.
There is poor health, low standards of housing, and large numbers of people with only basic skills and high dependency on welfare payments.
Looking across Wales there has been little change in the most deprived areas and the worst affected ten are all in Communities First - part of the Welsh government's strategy to tackle poverty.
It would be easy to suggest that the pure fact that the most deprived communities have largely stayed the same is evidence that the Welsh government's anti-poverty strategies are not working.
What that ignores is the fact that we don't know what these communities would be like if many millions of pounds had not been spent there.
Millions are being spent on regeneration in Rhyl.
An £8m project is under way which has seen run-down homes bought by the council and then demolished to make way for a new-look housing area with a "village green" at the centre.
Originally built as guest houses, the properties went into decline as tourists deserted Rhyl for foreign shores, and were turned into small apartments which gave the town an image of "bedsit land".
Denbighshire council has tried to tackle this by converting properties into family homes and bigger apartments with Clwyd Alyn housing association and the Welsh government.
In 2013, Rhyl Cut was transformed into a community fishery and green space after years as a fly-tipping site.
And work is continuing to create a green swathe of land through the resort's housing areas.
Elsewhere, the promenade has also undergone lots of changes over the years, more recently with a £4.3m pedestrian and cycle bridge across Rhyl harbour.
In August, the council revealed nine developers had expressed an interest in transforming Rhyl's coastline leisure facilities.
And just weeks ago the Daily Post reported there was renewed hope that Rhyl's former fairground site - demolished in 2007 - could be transformed into a £55m housing, retail and leisure development.
The index defines deprivation as the lack of access to opportunities and resources which might be expected in society.
Each community is made up of around 1,600 people, whose deprivation is assessed in eight different ways:
Government officials have stressed that the index ranks communities in terms of relative deprivation, but does not measure actual levels of poverty.
More than 130 are burning in New South Wales, 40 of which haven't yet been brought under control by fire fighters.
Another large fire is burning on the island of Tasmania, near areas hit by blazes over the weekend.
The country's prime minister, Julia Gillard, has described Tuesday as "a very dangerous day".
People have been asked to leave their homes in parts of New South Wales where four areas have been given a "catastrophic" fire danger rating.
That means that if fires break out they will be uncontrollable.
The dangerous situation has come about after days of very hot weather in Australia, with temperatures passing 40 degrees Celsius.
Strong winds of up to 50mph have helped spread the fires too.
All national parks and state forests have been closed to the public and many tourists have been seen leaving campsites.
To try and stop things getting worse people have been banned from lighting fires across New South Wales, Canberra, Tasmania and Victoria.
Ms Gomez said there were indications that Guzman financed Ms Del Castillo's recently-launched tequila business.
The film star set up the meeting in October between Guzman, who was then on the run, and actor, Sean Penn.
She denies any illicit links with Guzman, who was arrested on 8 January.
Ms Del Castillo and Guzman exchanged dozens of messages before she and Sean Penn met him in northern Mexico.
Some of the messages seem to mention business deals, Ms Gomez told El Universal newspaper.
"They mention 'The order,' 'We're in business,' 'Let's go together'. There's a great deal we still need to find out," said Ms Gomez.
Last year, Kate del Castillo launched her own tequila brand, Honor del Castillo.
Ms Del Castillo would have been involved in money laundering if she had received money from Guzman for her business, explained the Attorney General.
On Monday, Mexican prosecutors said Kate del Castillo had been called in for questioning over her links with the notorious drug lord.
Guzman was arrested earlier this month, six months after escaping from the Altiplano high security jail.
He was captured by Mexican troops in the northern city of Los Mochis and taken back to the same jail, where he is being kept under 24-hour surveillance to prevent another escape.
Mexican authorities are considering his extradition to the United States.
Sean Penn interviewed the drug lord for US magazine Rolling Stone.
Mobile phone exchanges between Kate del Castillo and Guzman reveal that he initially did not know who Sean Penn was.
He seemed to be infatuated by the actress, who is famous in Mexico.
Kate del Castillo is best known for her portrayal of drug boss Teresa Mendoza in the soap opera La Reina del Sur (Queen of the South)
Guzman was planning to get Hollywood to produce a film about his life.
Kate del Castillo persuaded "El Chapo" (Shorty) that Sean Penn had the experience and connections to realise his dream.
"I don't have the means to pay for what you're doing for me," he wrote, according to transcripts obtained by El Universal newspaper.
Responding to rumours that she had become too close to Guzman, Ms Del Castillo tweeted on 13 January that she would tell her side of the story.
Mexican prosecutors said Kate del Castillo, who has dual American-Mexican citizenship, will be allowed to be questioned at the embassy in Los Angeles.
El Chapo Guzman was Mexico's most wanted man.
He was the founder of the Sinaloa drug cartel, which smuggled vast amounts of illegal drugs into the United States.
He is linked to other crimes, including murder and extortion.
An independent panel has recommended a new funding policy and cash incentives to encourage smaller schools to merge.
Mr O'Dowd appointed the review panel, headed by Sir Robert Salisbury, last June.
The panel examined the Common Funding Schemes and found that it was outdated, too complicated and failing pupils.
The gap between the best and worst performing schools was wider than other parts of the UK.
The panel has recommended a simpler funding formula and financial incentives so that smaller schools are better off if they join with schools nearby.
The panel is also recommending increasing significantly the amount of money going to pupils from socially disadvantaged background, including children in foster care.
Sir Robert Salisbury said he found the current scheme was serving the needs of the institutions - keeping open relatively expensive schools.
The review found that on average the cost of educating a child in a small primary school could be three times higher than a larger school.
The executive was formed last week after independent unionist MLA Claire Sugden was appointed as justice minister.
The other posts are shared out between the two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin.
The UUP and SDLP are forming an opposition.
Both parties turned down ministerial roles in the executive.
The Alliance Party also refused the opportunity to join the executive after it was offered the justice minister role.
The UUP and SDLP have not yet said if they will work closely together in opposition.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said his party would look to be a "positive and constructive opposition, not opposition for opposition's sake".
Mike Nesbitt, the Ulster Unionist leader, said that the move into opposition would "lead to new beginnings and possibilities for devolved government".
Anglesey council issued a compulsory purchase order (CPO) for the former Holyhead Market Hall after the owner failed to act on a repairs notice.
The owner challenged the CPO but, following a public consultation, the Welsh Government said the sale must go ahead.
The council plans to rehouse the town's library in the building.
Councillor Richard Dew said: "The Welsh Government's decision totally vindicates the great efforts made by the county council to protect this important historic building for future generations."
The winger, 21, made six league appearances while on loan at Stevenage in the latter stage of last season.
He joined Premier League Swansea in 2013 and made 17 appearances for Leyton Orient while on loan during 2014-15.
"Ryan has a superb left foot and is a quick and intelligent player," Yeovil boss Darren Way told the club website.

The operators met at the National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) which has a replica of the pioneering machine.
It was held after publicity around Colossus's 70th anniversary led many former operators to contact the museum.
It has also revealed plans to create a virtual copy of the huts in which 6 Colossi were sited in wartime.
In February, TNMOC celebrated 70 years since the Colossus computer attacked its first scrambled message. The machine was built to tackle the cipher system used to secure messages sent between Hitler and his generals.
Media interest in that event led to the discovery of a picture taken just after the war of many of the women who had operated Colossus. Publicity around the picture, which included an item on the BBC's The One Show, has led many more operators to come forward and contact the Museum, said a spokesman.
In total, eight women who worked on Colossus attended, two more sent messages of support and three others who wanted to come along did not make it because they were too ill to travel, he said.
Relatives of some of the key technical staff who helped to work out how to crack the high-level messages and develop Colossus and its associated machinery were also present.
TNMOC chairman Tim Reynolds said the meeting was held in September to mark another 70th anniversary associated with Colossus - the opening of the first hut, called Block H, built to house the machines.
"It was the world's first data centre," he said.
At the reunion, TNMOC staff also talked about work it had done to create a virtual version of the two buildings that housed the Colossi - Block H and F - to give people a better idea of what it was like to be an operator during wartime.
Staff and volunteers from TNMOC have used a free tool called OpenSimulator to build a rough prototype that lets people take a virtual stroll through the huts and walk around the ranks of Colossus machines.
Chris Monk, who is leading the project, said a lot of detective work was needed to make sure the digital double was accurate.
"We do have plans, but when they built it they did not always build to the plan," he said.
In addition, he said, those who used to work with Colossus were being quizzed about the furniture and other items in the huts.
"We need the veterans for that and we need to get that information relatively quickly because of their age," he said.
TNMOC is now seeking funding to pay for a full-time worker for a year who will build the digital replica that will then become a permanent exhibit in the museum.
A survey by the Tree Register of the British Isles (TROBI) has shown the Plas Tan y Bwlch centre in Maentwrog, Gwynedd, is home to four UK champions.
Among the biggest is a Japanese red cedar that stands at 37.5m (123ft).
The gardens are also home to nine Welsh champions, plus a further 16 Gwynedd champion trees.
Dr. Owen Johnson, who conducted the survey, said: "The woods at Plas Tan y Bwlch probably have the best series of Japanese cedars of any estate in Britain."
"There is also an attractive range of trees in the main garden, including a Davidia (dove tree) unsurpassed from its crown-size and beauty."
The Victorian-Gothic mansion Plas Tan y Bwlch is located within the Snowdonia National Park.
The immediate gardens around the mansion, which cover 13 acres (5.2 hectares), were laid out between 1879 and 1912.
Head of Business at Plas, Andrew Oughton, said: "We have long been aware of the magnificence of the trees at Plas, but had no idea so many of them were the biggest of their kind."
The garden's other champion trees include a 24m (79ft) golden-leaved Lawson cypress, a sawara cypress at 23m (76ft), and an 8m (26ft) variegated holly tree.
The pair also criticised other MPs for seeking to undermine its decision.
Andrew Bridgen said there is now a danger of "a race to the bottom where's it's just a hair shirt competition," unless pay is improved.
David Cameron has said the proposed 10% increase was not acceptable and has urged the pay body to ditch it.
Downing Street has said it backs the view of the International Development Secretary Justine Greening that the independent body which sets MPs' pay "does not seem to be working".
But Mr Bridgen, the Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire, said that backbenchers like him were disappointed that "it tends to be people in the cabinet or shadow cabinet who are saying that they wouldn't take it, and give it to charity" when "they're on twice as much as a backbencher".
Mr Bridgen told BBC Radio 4's The World at One that he has to subsidise his hotel bill by up to ??50 a night when he stays in London, because there are not enough rooms available at the price of his daily Parliamentary allowance.
The MP said it was the "politics of expediency" for MPs to say they would give the extra ??7,000 to charity, but he added: "It doesn't solve the problem, it only makes it worse for all politicians now and for future politicians."
A petition on the Change.org website calling for Mr Cameron to reject the Ipsa proposal as "unfair and unjust while Britain is going through austerity" has gained more than 365,000 signatures.
Fellow Conservative Mark Field, MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, agreed that MPs should accept the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority's recommendation, arguing that it would be "playing with fire" to reject the judgment of an independent body on the matter.
But Mr Field told The World at One: "It's a pretty sad day as a matter of public policy, and not very sensible, if parliamentarians take the view that they will accept an independent review when it has a downward element of expenses or salary but not if it raises it."
He added: "To be honest, I am lucky I am an MP in central London where many of my constituents wonder how it is that any member of parliament can live on ??70,000 a year, so I can make that case slightly more easily.
"But I do think it is important that we as MPs do make a stand."
The former lawyer and businessman said: "I make considerably less money than I made before I was an MP - I was earning three or four times the salary.
"I always took the view that going into public life was vocational - it's a bit like being a vicar or taking a relatively lowly paid job."
He also accused some of the Labour leadership candidates of "playing to the gallery on this issue".
On BBC1's Question Time, Justine Greening hit out at Ipsa and indicated that she thought action may need to be taken to block the rise.
She said: "I think that we do need to sort out what's happening with Ipsa because how anyone can think that this kind of a proposal is acceptable is utterly beyond me."
Ipsa has stressed that due to cuts in pensions and expenses - such as a ban on claiming for evening meals - the overall package of changes to MPs' remuneration will not cost taxpayers any more.
But MPs elected before 2015 - including Mr Cameron - will see a major boost to their pensions as they are based on final salary.
The offences allegedly took place while the woman worked for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.
The 32-year-old is accused of collecting information likely to be useful to terrorists and misconduct in public office.
She was arrested in Belfast on Monday and is to appear in court on Thursday.
A 28-year-old woman also arrested on Monday was released pending further enquiries.
The violence raised the death toll to 23 in three weeks of protests.
Ombudsman Tarek Saab said several others were seriously injured and "between life and death".
The latest protests were sparked by the decision by the Supreme Court to take over the powers of the opposition-dominated National Assembly.
The court's reversal of the ruling was not enough to stop a wave of demonstrations.
On Monday a man was shot dead in a pro-government demonstration in the city of Merida and another man was killed in the nearby town of Barinas.
Merida state Governor Henrique Capriles, one of Venezuela's main opposition leaders, tweeted that "paramilitary groups" were responsible for the killings.
12 people have been killed in pro- and anti-government demonstrations this month so far.
Another 11 people died on Friday when a bakery was looted in Caracas.
What is behind the crisis in Venezuela?
There have been anti-government protests across cities in Venezuela almost daily this month, while government supporters have been holding marches to show their loyalty to President Maduro.
Both government and opposition supporters as well as bystanders have been killed.
There is little sign of the protests subsiding as the opposition has vowed to "stay on the streets" until presidential elections due to be held at the end of 2018 are brought forward.
Vatican-backed talks held late last year failed to yield any notable agreements and ended after the opposition accused the government of intransigence.
Opposition groups have called on their supporters to hold sit-ins across Venezuela on Monday in a continuation of their protests.
The 29-year-old driver stopped her Vauxhall Corsa on the A89, near the former Bangour Hospital, in Dechmont, at about 16:15 on Monday.
After rolling down her window to speak to the female pedestrian, she was hit in the face before a man tried to open the front passenger door.
The woman managed to drive off before contacting police.
The female suspect was described as white, about 5ft 3in tall with tied-back brown hair. She was wearing a blue, hooded top.
The male suspect was described as wearing a dark-coloured jacket.
Insp Scott Robertson, from Police Scotland, appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He said: "Fortunately, the woman was not injured during this incident and neither suspect was able to gain entry to her car.
"Nevertheless, she was left extremely shaken as a result and we are pursuing various lines of inquiry to trace both suspects."
The former back-row forward, who was capped 71 times by England and represented the British and Irish Lions, will start his post next week.
Jones and Hill previously worked together when the Australian was director of rugby at Saracens.
"Richard is an icon of English rugby," said Jones. "I am in no doubt that Richard will excel in his role."
Since retiring through injury in 2008, the 43-year-old has worked for his former club Saracens and the Rugby Football Union. Most recently, he was team manager on the England Saxons tour of South Africa in the summer.
Jones added: "Richard's responsibilities will range from maintaining England Rugby's internal and external relationships to providing mentoring and support for players and management.
"It is important we use the knowledge of former international players and keep a historical link with the past."
"This is not a manager role like in football - Hill is unlikely to have a hands-on coaching or selection role, but will still be an integral part of the set-up and will act as a sounding board for England players and management.
"Eddie Jones is keen to forge strong links with past international players, and World Cup winner Hill is one of England's all-time greats."
Lt Daniel Clack, of 1st Battalion The Rifles, died as he led a foot patrol in the Shaparak area of the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.
The family of the engaged 24-year-old from north London said he was "brave" and would be "forever missed".
A total of 379 UK troops have died in Afghan military operations since 2001.
Five of Lt Clack's comrades were also injured in the explosion, which took place 150 metres from the entrance to the checkpoint he commanded.
The MoD said Lt Clack had become "immensely popular" with his Riflemen and was known as a "man of integrity".
After graduating from Exeter University, he worked in Switzerland as driver for a ski chalet company, before joining the Army in May 2009.
He was commissioned from Sandhurst into The Rifles in 2010, and had served with C Company as 8 Platoon Commander since his arrival in Afghanistan in April this year.
Described as a keen sportsman, Lt Clack represented both Sandhurst and his battalion at rugby.
Lt Clack's family said: "Dan was a brave Rifleman and he died doing the only profession he ever considered. He loved leading his Riflemen and was so proud to be an officer in the British Army.
"There are no words to describe our loss. He will be forever missed by his mother, father, brother, fiancee and all those who knew him. He will always be in our hearts."
Lt Clack's commanding officer, Lt Col James de Labilliere, said he had "demonstrated a courage and bravery that was profound and inspiring".
He added: "His parting has come too soon, by far. Dan had so much to give, so much to look forward to and so many opportunities ahead of him. The Rifles has been denied one of our best, and a professional commander for the future has been taken from us."
At the time of his death Lt Clack was leading a patrol to the village of Dactran to discuss a meeting of elders planned for the next day.
Major Bill Eden, Officer Commanding C Company, 1 Rifles, said in Nahr-e Saraj that Lt Clack had established a "deep rapport with the population, which continues to grow in recognition of the improvements made to the area".
There were also tributes from his comrades in 8 Platoon.
Acting Serjeant Daniel Field, said he would "miss the energy and enthusiasm he brought to the job" while Acting Serjeant Paul Nancolis said he had given him "great confidence from the type of soldier he was and the type of soldier he could have been".
Lt Michael Evans, from 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, who knew Lt Clack at Sandhurst, said: "He was always a man you could turn to when you needed a competent pair of hands, balanced with a cheeky comeback. I never knew him sorry for himself, he would rather make a situation his own than worry or wallow."
Mr Vine was riding his bike in Kensington, west London on 26 August when a row occurred which was captured on his helmet camera.
Shanique Syrena Pearson, from Vauxhall, denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.
The 22-year-old appeared at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court.
She also denied driving without reasonable consideration for other road users and using a vehicle without a valid licence.
Ms Pearson, who was released on conditional bail, was ordered to appear for trial at the same venue on 13 January next year.
About 400 drivers on the Piccadilly Line were planning to stage two 24-hour walk outs on Tuesday and Thursday.
The dispute is over concerns including driver and passenger safety and accusations around bullying of staff.
Mick Cash, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union, said "progress" had been made in talks.
However, he said the dispute was "not over yet" and discussions with London Underground (LU) would continue.
Tube operations director Pat Hansberry said talks had been "constructive... which have enabled us to reach an agreement on the way forward to resolve this dispute".
Hundreds of drivers took part in a previous strike in March.
The Piccadilly Line, which carries some 600,000 passengers a day, has some of the oldest trains on the network known as "1973 stock".
A train had to be taken out of service in January when a door opened while it was heading into a station.
The CAA had agreed to close the skies over the hotel in northern Israel.
But Transport Minister Yisrael Katz then threatened to sack the CAA boss if he did not overturn that decision.
In the end, the skies stayed open to all air traffic during Thursday's wedding, Israeli media reported.
The 30-year-old Refaeli, Israel's most famous supermodel, married billionaire Israeli businessman Adi Ezra at the Carmel Forest resort near Haifa.
According to Israeli media reports, the couple was planning to have five drones, two helicopters and an observation balloon circling the venue, some for photographic purposes.
The CAA initially agreed to the couple's request for a ban, citing safety reasons.
But Mr Katz on Sunday overturned that decision saying: "The skies belong to all Israeli citizens and we can't offer special treatment for this event over other events."
Israeli pilots had also objected to the ban.
Two days later, according to Israeli media, the CAA, appearing to disregard Mr Katz's comments, announced a no-fly zone would be in place for safety reasons from 17:00 on Thursday to 02:00 on Friday.
Mr Katz reportedly told CAA chief Joel Feldschuh: "If the skies are not open above Bar Refaeli's wedding - you will be removed from your post."
On Thursday evening the transport ministry told The Jerusalem Post that the skies had stayed open to all air traffic.
The Times of Israel reported the rabbi was flown in by helicopter for the ceremony.
Forbes Israel has ranked Ms Refaeli Israel's top-earning model reporting revenue of nearly £10m in 2013 when she appeared in a lucrative Super Bowl advert.
She has hosted Israeli X Factor and modelled for brands including Desigual and Escada.
A former girlfriend of actor Leonardo DiCaprio, she prompted criticism in 2003 when it was reported she had opted not to finish her compulsory military service.
In 2010, a no-fly zone was put in place for the wedding of Chelsea, daughter of former US President Bill Clinton.
Ali Coote, a 17-year-old midfielder, came on as a substitute, while Jamie Robson, 18, was an unused substitute.
SPFL rules forbid players from playing for their parent clubs if they return from lower-league loans after 31 March.
United chairman Stephen Thompson has resigned from his position on the SPFL board in protest at the sanction.
Having returned from loan spells from East Fife and Brechin respectively, Coote and Robson were not eligible to appear for United again until the start of next season.
Dundee United pleaded guilty to breaches of SPFL Player Regulations 12, 14(i) and 14(ii), having failed to apply to register players as required by SPFL Player Regulations 7 and 3A.
But chairman Thompson has stepped down from his SPFL board role with immediate effect.
"Whilst acknowledging the club's error and accepting a breach of rules occurred, the chairman feels the gravity of the punishment is wholly disproportionate for what was a simple honest, human error," said a club statement.
"We await the full written judgment after which we will consider our next action.
"Our travelling fans are the ones who have been punished the most here and the club will examine ways to make this up to them."
Following United's relegation from the Premiership, Thompson would have had to seek re-election to the board for next season anyway.
The disciplinary hearing concluded that replaying the game, won 3-2 by United, before the end of the season - with the final round of games scheduled for this weekend - was not practical.
A statement from the SPFL also stated that the £30,000 fine was part suspended, without providing any more detail.
United are already seven points adrift of 11th-placed Kilmarnock, having been relegated on 2 May, while Inverness are still trying to finish seventh.
Coote, who made his United debut at the end of last season, played six games for League Two East Fife between 23 January and 23 April.
One in four construction workers in London is from the European Union (EU), a report by City Hall has found.
The 'Housing in London' study found that 95,000 of the capital's 350,000 construction workers are from the EU.
The government has so far refused to confirm what the status of EU workers in the UK will be after Brexit.
Just over half of London's construction workforce are from the UK, while nationally overseas workers make up 13%, City Hall reported.
In the last two decades the population of London has grown by 25% but the number of homes has only increased 15%, it was claimed, placing huge pressure on the city's housing market.
Last week, a study by the campaign group Fifty Thousand Homes found a third of London homes granted planning permission had not been built.
The government has said it wants a million homes built across England by 2020.
Brexit: All you need to know
What we know about UK's Brexit plan
Brexit options explained
London needs up to an extra 13,000 new construction workers each year until 2021 in order to plug skills gaps and meet the additional demands on the construction industry, according to City Hall.
Mr Khan said: "London is in the grip of a serious housing crisis."
"A 'hard Brexit' could leave a quarter of the skilled construction workforce in the capital high and dry which would have a crippling effect on our plans to build the homes Londoners so desperately need," the Labour mayor added.
GLA Conservatives spokesperson for housing, Andrew Boff, said: "London depends on migrants".
"We also need to train British workers to meet demand but we can't expect the industry to wait for us to catch up," he added.
Police, ambulance and fire services were called out to a property in Ettrickbridge.
It is understood that a man was taken to Borders General Hospital following a stand-off.
Police thanked local residents for their patience while officers dealt with the incident and asked anyone with information to contact them.
A spokesman said: "We were called to an address in Ettrickbridge, near Selkirk on Thursday following a report of concern for a person within.
"Specialist and local emergency resources were deployed in the area to maintain public and officer safety.
"A 39-year-old man is currently in hospital for assessment."
The tournament, which has run since 2009 and featured the top T20 sides from most of the major Test-playing countries, has been cancelled because of "limited public following".
Launched by the cricket boards of India, Australia and South Africa, the competition had an overall prize fund of $6m (£3.8m).
The 2014 title was won by Chennai Super Kings of the Indian Premier League.
"It was a fantastic platform for players from around the world to showcase their talent and the participating teams thoroughly enjoyed the experience over the last six seasons," said Anurag Thakur, honorary secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
"Unfortunately, off the field, Champions League T20 wasn't sustaining the interest of the fans as we had hoped."
With two wins in total, the Super Kings are the joint most successful side in the competition's history, along with fellow IPL side Mumbai Indians.
The only other two teams to win the title both came from Australia's Big Bash competition.
New South Wales Blues won in 2009 - before the Big Bash was reformatted to feature city-based franchises - and their victory was matched by the Sydney Sixers in 2012, when England one-day batsman Michael Lumb was man of the match in the final.
Five English county sides have competed in the event, with Somerset performing best by reaching the semi-finals in 2011.
However, England did not send teams to the CLT20 in 2010, 2013 or 2014 because of a clash with the end of the County Championship season.
The 46-year-old from Forest Glade in Lurgan, County Armagh, was arrested on Tuesday.
He is already a remand prisoner in Maghaberry jail, County Antrim, facing separate charges of IRA membership and other alleged terrorist offences.
Police went to court on Tuesday seeking permission to question him.
Liberty British Aluminium took over the running of the Lochaber Smelter near Fort William last year.
The new project would involve the creation of a steel rolling mill and facilities for making alloy wheels.
The planned £450m investment would also include the provision of new housing and other services for workers.
Aluminium currently made at the smelter, which lies in the foothills of Ben Nevis, is taken elsewhere to be made into various products.
The first meeting of the Lochaber Delivery Group, which was set up to support the investment programme, is due to take place on Friday.
Liberty and Simec, the two companies involved in Liberty British Aluminium, set up the delivery group with the Scottish government and public agencies.
Following the meeting, Rural Economy Minister Fergus Ewing is to formally switch on newly-installed bio-fuel generating units located within a hydro-power station adjacent to the smelter.
These units will make the smelter "the greenest metal producing facility in the UK", according to Liberty British Aluminium.
About £10m is being invested in the hydro scheme and bio-fuel units. They are expected to reduce the need to import electricity to the site.
The new units forms one of the first steps to the creation of the planned new manufacturing plant.
Ahead of the meeting, Liberty British Aluminium said the planned new automotive parts manufacturing plant would be "huge".
It has already submitted a pre-planning application document with Highland Council for the project.
About 170 people are employed at the smelter, making it one of the largest employers in Lochaber.
Liberty British Aluminium took over the smelter from Rio Tinto in a £330m deal last year, which was welcomed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on a visit to the site in December.
Ansaar International has been criticised in Germany with media reports alleging it was linked to the controversial Islamic Salafist sect.
Salafism is an ultra-conservative branch of Islam.
German authorities say "almost all" terror networks in the country have evolved out of the movement.
However, there is an important distinction to be made between the vast majority of its followers, whose aim is simply to bring Muslims back to an earlier interpretation of their religion.
German politicians have also spoken against Ansaar International.
Peter Beuth, interior minister of the state of Hessen, where Darmstadt is located, said on Tuesday: "You cannot let a professional footballer like Ben-Hatira carry on when he's in the vicinity of extremist organisations that are being observed by [Germany's domestic security agency] the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution."
Darmstadt's president said the club felt Ben-Hatira's involvement with the organisation was "wrong".
"Further co-operation makes no sense," Rudiger Fritsch added. "We wish Mr Ben-Hatira, who has always behaved impeccably, every success in his future sporting career."
On Saturday, Darmstadt fans unfurled a banner calling on Ben-Hatira to distance himself from Ansaar International.
The Berlin-born player responded the next day on Facebook, describing the fans' actions as a "smear campaign".
Ben-Hatira defended his work with Ansaar, who have projects in Syria, Somalia, the Palestinian territories and Afghanistan.
"Anyone who looks at my CV will quickly see that I am socially involved and fight for equal treatment between people of different skin colour, ethnicity or faith," he wrote.
He added: "Are you not ashamed? Do you really think I'll let myself be intimidated by that?
"I think the real scandal is that there is now an attempt to sabotage my sports career in Germany."
The event was held on the waterfront for the first time, having replaced traditional displays in suburban parks in Liverpool and Wirral.
Hundreds of people later took to social media to lambast what some described as a "rubbish" and "disappointing" night.
Council officer Claire McColgan said the council would "assess feedback".
The event was designed so crowds could line both sides of the River Mersey to watch fireworks launched from barges.
But, some spectators said the fireworks were too far away, while others bemoaned the lack of musical accompaniment.
Posting on Twitter, Zoe Whittingham said: "Travel to Liverpool to see the firework display on the docks and what a load of rubbish! No music and the worst fireworks I've seen!"
Caitlin Austin wrote: "The fireworks on the docks tonight were so disappointing. Liverpool City Council what were you playing at?"
Alexandra Jones said: "Such a disappointment! No atmosphere and poorly organised!"
However, some people defended the event.
Music Mafia said: "It wasn't all bad. The warm up event was brilliant."
Nicola Bolton said: "Great view, great fireworks. Liverpool was heaving!"
Ms McColgan, Liverpool City Council's head of culture, admitted plans for a smartphone app to allow people to listen to music during the display were not made clear.
She also insisted the warm-up event, which featured drumming and aircraft pyrotechnics, had been a success.
She said: "We tried to do something new this year. Some people didn't like it, some did. We will take whatever lessons have been learned into next year.
"In terms of the fireworks on the river, the Mersey is so big and there are challenges around that. The drumming and the planes were brilliant."
Asked if the council would consider bringing displays back to local parks next year, Ms McColgan said: "Of course. We will consider everything."
A council spokesman said the authority would like to point out that the fireworks themselves were funded by the private sector.
A public inquiry starts on Tuesday and is expected to last for three days.
It will consider the application put forward by campaigners who are opposed to building the school on Parc-y-Werin.
Residents will have to prove to an independent inspector the land is used for recreation while Swansea council called the inquiry "frustrating".
Currently, Gorseinon's primary and infant schools are based on separate sites but the local authority wants to unite them under one roof.
While plans for the £6m Parc-y-Werin development were approved, some residents claimed it is the only public space with sports pitches in the town.
Former Wales football international Leighton James grew up using the park and helped collect 3,000 names on a petition.
Gorseinon town councillor Claire Lewis said they did not want to stop the school going ahead but wanted it to be on a different site.
"They're building a lot around the area and taking a lot of green spaces and we want to protect the green spaces we've got," she added.
According to the plans, about 6.5% of the park will be taken up by the new school building itself, with new pitches being created for the school which will also be available for the community to use.
Council leader Rob Stewart said: "It's really frustrating because when you talk to the children, they really want their new school and they can't understand why we are not getting on and giving them the new school. The parents are frustrated and we are frustrated.
"I understand people being concerned about park areas and wanting to maintain and retain open spaces, and we're all about that. But in this day and age you've got to try to deliver the best school in the best environment for children."
For village green status to be achieved, campaigners will have to prove the land has been used by the community for recreation "as of right" [without permission from the council] for at least 20 years.
If the application is rejected, the council said it would try to start building the school as quickly as possible.
Blackbrook Zoological Bird Park, near Leek, Staffordshire, is now known as Peak Wildlife Park.
Dr Jake Veasey, one of the new owners, said it would concentrate on preserving rare species, including the Humboldt penguin.
"I think conservation is the mandate of zoos - it's what we're here for," he said.
The 35-acre site was purchased last year by Dr Veasey and Colin MacDougall, who between them have been involved in zoo management and wildlife conservation for over three decades.
The zoo had a guide price of £300,000-£350,000, although administrators would not reveal the final sale price.
The wildlife park said it had changed the way animals are kept there, moving away from cages and aviaries in favour of open spaces where the public can walk among the animals.
"The animals benefit because they get much bigger spaces and the public benefit because they can really get in amongst them," Dr Veasey said.
The Humboldt penguins will be housed in three pools, which they will share with the other South American wildlife, the park said.
Bill Palmer phoned Alex Dyke's programme on BBC Radio Solent and told him how lonely he was because his wife is in a nursing home.
After Dyke arranged for Mr Palmer, from Southampton, to get to the studio his story was picked up across the world.
Mr Palmer said: "Picking up the phone was one of the greatest things I did."
But he has been unable to see any of the online coverage of his tale - because although he has a computer he does not know the password for it.
The story has gone viral on social media and featured in the news media around the world, including on the ABC7 Morning Show in the US, the Russia Today website, the Washington Post and WFTV in Canada.
Mr Palmer said he had received a phone call from a Canadian journalist, photographers from national newspapers had been to his house - and he was recognised in his local chip shop.
"The attention is wonderful, I don't mind," he said.
"It was the highlight of my life.
"It was getting a bit lonely but suddenly my life perked up."
Mr Palmer married his wife Sheila, 85, on 2 June 2014 after they had been friends for 30 years.
Shortly afterwards Mrs Palmer - who has dementia and colitis - fell and was taken into hospital. She now lives in a nursing home.
A nurse showed her the pictures of Mr Palmer visiting Broadcasting House in Southampton.
"She thought it was wonderful, she couldn't get over it," he said.
The radio station has received phone calls from people who want to take Mr Palmer out to lunch or for a day trip, but he has turned them down so he can visit his wife.
"I am the only bright spark in my wife's life, as I go and spend a few hours with her.
"It is better to be a little dim light and make someone else happy."
Mr Palmer, of Sholing, said he was recognised in the chip shop on Thursday night and was asked for a photograph.
He said: "Alex Dyke has changed my life."
Mr Palmer said his son Tony has been on holiday and was "in for a shock" when he got back, as he was unaware of what had been happening.
The nonagenarian is planning on making a scrapbook of the newspaper cuttings to show his wife.
The Sky Blue Trust is urging fans not to buy shirts or merchandise until it is confirmed the team will play its home games at the stadium next season.
It said although the team had been offered the chance to play there "rent-free" the situation was still unclear.
Administrators confirmed on Friday the League One club had been sold to the Otium Entertainment Group.
Otium is owned by Sisu, the company that currently operates the club.
Trust spokesman Moz Baker said: "The clock's ticking all the time. There are no season tickets being sold - people need to know where we're playing and that should be in Coventry.
"We have a perfectly good, purpose-built stadium here which we should be playing at."
The trust also erected a makeshift statue to Joy Seppala, who is the head of Sisu.
Mr Baker said: "That idea was based on [chief executive] Tim Fisher's recent suggestion that there should be a statue of Joy Seppala outside the ground because of the £45m she has put into the club.
"It was just a light-hearted look at the situation which people are very upset about."

The offer to business class travellers is the latest attempted workaround by affected airlines.
The ban applies to devices larger than a smartphone.
It covers inbound flights on nine airlines operating out of 10 airports in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Turkey.
They include Qatar Airways, Etihad, Emirates and Turkish Airlines, which operate long-haul flights popular with business travellers who can no longer work on their laptops mid-flight.
Qatar Airways said in a statement: "Customers will be able to download their work on to a USB before stepping on board to pick up where they left off."
The airliner would also offer one hour of free Wi-Fi for all passengers and a $5 (£4) package for travellers who wanted to stay connected on their smartphones for the whole flight.
The laptop loan strategy is not the first attempt by airlines to overcome the restrictions:
US officials justified the measure as a precaution against terrorism based on "evaluated intelligence". Large electronic devices are still allowed on board in checked baggage.
The measure applies to direct flights from Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, the world's busiest airport. | Qatar Airways has said it is offering a laptop loan service to US-bound passengers to overcome a US ban on electronic devices on some flights. | 39,458,142 | 259 | 31 | false |
The performance is 46% above the low point of the recession in 2009.
Trade sectors which grew well in 2014 included stone exports which were up 18% and steel which was up 38%.
The level of new car imports also rose by 10% to 48,000, its highest level since 2007.
Roy Adair, Belfast Harbour's chief executive, said that surpassing 23m tonnes was "a major achievement" driven by an ongoing investment programme.
He said the performance had also been supported by major investments from customers such as Stena Line which has introduced a third ship to its Belfast - Liverpool service.
Mr Adair said the increased activity reflected a pick-up in the economy across the island of Ireland.
"Increased steel imports, for example, reflects greater manufacturing activity, especially in the Republic of Ireland, while the improvement in freight, containers and new car imports suggests a modest pick-up in consumer confidence," he said.
The amount of cement moving through the port increased fivefold to 79,000 tonnes.
However, total cement tonnages remain less than one third of pre-recession levels, reflecting the continuing depression in the construction industry.

A statement on Japan's Fisheries Agency website said whaling will run from late December until March next year.
Japan stopped whaling for one year, but announced last week it would resume.
For years the activity has pitted Japan against activists who call it inhumane and unsustainable.
In 2014, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Japan's whaling programme did not qualify as scientific and should cease.
That season Japan sent whaling ships to the ocean, but, respecting the verdict, returned with no catch.
The Japanese government says its new whaling programme takes into account that ICJ decision and is now much smaller.
The hunt will aim to capture 333 Antarctic minke whales, about one-third of what it used to kill.
It will also conduct non-lethal research, including sighting surveys and the collection of biopsy samples.
Four ships will be involved in the hunt, including the 8,000 tonne mother ship, the Nisshin Maru.
Japan's earlier announcement that it would resume whaling was met with dismay by environmental activists and governments opposed to the hunt.
"We do not accept in any way, shape or form the concept of killing whales for so-called 'scientific research'," said Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt.
In 1982, the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the global body that regulates whaling, agreed a pause - often referred to as a moratorium - on commercial whaling from the 1985/1986 season.
Japan agreed to the moratorium, but has used the scientific whaling exemption to continue.
Objection: A country formally objects to the International Whaling Commission moratorium, declaring itself exempt. Example: Norway
Scientific: A nation issues unilateral "scientific permits"; any IWC member can do this. Example: Japan
Indigenous (aka Aboriginal subsistence): IWC grants permits to indigenous groups for subsistence food. Example: Alaskan Inupiat
Guide to the great whales
Pointing to the IWC's remit to regulate rather than eliminate the whaling industry, Japan insists its practices are sustainable and that animal rights concerns are both sentimental and irrelevant.
Japan makes no secret of the fact that much of the whale meat produced as a result of what it insists is scientific research, ends up in supermarkets and restaurants.
While sale of by-products from genuine scientific whaling research is permitted, opponents say the scale of the sales dwarfs the amount of useful scientific evidence gathered, which they also insist can be found through non-lethal research.
Whale products are not frequently eaten by most people in Japan, some of whom share others' discomfort with the practice of whaling. But many other Japanese also feel it is an important cultural tradition and object to being pressured to give it up.
Ayeeshia Jane Smith died of a tear to her heart in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, in May 2014.
Post-mortem tests showed Ayeeshia had bruises on her head, neck and buttocks.
Her mother Kathryn Smith and her partner Matthew Rigby, from Nottingham, deny murder, causing her death and child cruelty.
Det Sgt James Brady, from Staffordshire Police, told Birmingham Crown Court that Miss Smith had told him Ayeeshia had suffered three "overheating fits" since 2014.
She also told him the child suffered from alopecia, the court heard.
On the day of Ayeeshia's death Mr Brady said Miss Smith had left the child on the potty and went into the kitchen.
"Mum went into the kitchen to get some juice and returned back and found the child with blue lips and fitting," he said.
Christopher Hotten QC, prosecuting, asked if Miss Smith had presented the fits as being similar to those the child had suffered previously.
Mr Brady said: "Yes, it was described as the same as before, implying it was the same as the previous fits."
A pathologist told the jury "out of 100 children [of the same age and build], 98 would be heavier" than "thin" Ayeeshia.
On examination, Ayeeshia was found to have a bleed on the brain in the months before her death, linked to an incident in which Ayeeshia was hospitalised after collapsing in February 2014.
Further injuries were also discovered, including a large bruise to her back and buttocks and bruising to her left eyelid and left leg.
The trial continues.
She told the BBC she was in Rajasthan's Churu district on 1 January when she spotted three men trying to molest two teenage girls at a railway crossing.
"I chased and caught of one of them, and then helped the girls file a complaint," she said.
She added the incident showed that women were not safe even in busy areas.
"I was shocked and horrified when I saw these men trying to molest the girls in front of so many people at a busy railway crossing. Nobody did anything until I got out of the car and chased them myself," she said.
'I believed Bangalore was safe'
India anger over groping comments
"The girls were traumatised and shaken after the incident.
"The girls didn't even want to file a complaint because they were worried that their families would stop them from going out if the incident became public," she said.
The athlete said however, that she was glad that "at least one family decided to file a case".
Meanwhile Indian Twitter users have praised Ms Poonia "for standing up to men".
Inspector Gopiram told the BBC that Ms Poonia had brought the girl to his police station, adding that they had started an investigation into the case, and the men would be charged soon.
"We thank Ms Poonia for intervening. We always urge the public to be vigilant and report such incidents to the police," he said.
Ms Poonia said such incidents happened because "some men treat women as lesser beings".
"Some men only believe in objectifying women. They think women are only made for objectifying, and when they get an opportunity to attack, they don't think twice," she said.
"It's so ironic that two young women won India's two medals at the Rio Games and the whole country celebrated, and then we also recently witnessed horrific scenes in Bangalore," she added.
Several woman have alleged that they were molested by mobs of men in Bangalore on New Year's Eve.
"I felt sick after seeing some pictures of women crying. This happened in one India's biggest cities. You can't even imagine what happens in small towns and rural areas," she said.
"Honestly, I don't even know if there is a way out. I guess each of us has to do what we can to stop these incidents," she added.
Meanwhile a postbox outside the city hall has been painted gold to mark Ennis's medal win, and she has featured on a special stamp rushed out for sale.
Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat MP for Sheffield Hallam, has called for her to be granted the freedom of the city.
There have also been calls on Twitter to rename a city square after Ennis.
However, not everybody supported the idea of renaming the city's Tudor Square.
One Twitter user wrote: "When everyone has calmed down and had a cup of tea they'll realise renaming Tudor Square, Ennis Square is just inappropriate and costly."
Nevertheless, thousands of people celebrated across Sheffield as Ennis crossed the line at the Olympic Stadium to secure heptathlon gold.
For much of Saturday the Don Valley Stadium - where a big screen was put up - resembled a country picnic.
As the Sheffield hero came out for her 800m heat, about 2,000 people surged forward to see her victory.
Ennis, hailed as the face of London 2012, won gold on one of Britain's greatest days in Olympic history.
As the 26-year-old entered the Olympic stadium for the 800m heat in the heptathlon, the floodlights came on in Sheffield and the stadium where Ennis was discovered and still trains suddenly resembled a rock concert.
When the starter's gun went off, Sheffield produced a wall of noise.
And when Ennis crossed the line, there were hugs, tears and even louder screams.
Jessica Burton, 17, said: "On my god, she's done it. We love her, we love her, we love her. I am so proud to be from the same city as Jess Ennis."
Earlier Chris Eccles, who taught the heptathlete at King Ecgbert School, said every pupil knew about the athlete's achievements.
"They are inspired by her because they can see someone from their own town being so successful," he said.
"They see people like Jess as great role models."
Ennis started running at the Don Valley Stadium when she joined the City of Sheffield Athletic Club at the age of 13.
Despite being a world-class athlete, she still competes for the club in the Northern League.
Club chairman Mike Corden said the gold medallist was a "phenomenon".
"Our kids in the club are inspired by her. They are so proud of her," he said.
Paying tribute to Ennis, Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough MP David Blunkett said: "She is the princess of Sheffield, who has lifted the hearts of the nation and provided an inspiration for the young athletes of the future."
On a hugely successful night for Team GB, Ennis's athletics team-mates Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford also won gold, in the 10,000m and long jump respectively.
After her Bercy arena concert on Wednesday, she tweeted she was heading to the Place de la Republique, which has become a shrine to those who died.
Madonna, who is in the city for her Rebel Heart tour, was filmed singing along with her 10-year-old son David.
She began by singing Ghosttown and then moved on to John Lennon's Imagine and her classic track Like A Prayer.
Madonna's surprise appearance in the city also saw her accompanied by guitarist Monte Pittman, who is currently on tour with the artist.
"She wanted to pay tribute, she loves this city," Pittman told AFP. "It is magical. I will never forget this."
One hundred and thirty people were killed in Paris when gunmen and suicide bombers carried out a series of attacks in the French capital.
Madonna told Wednesday night's onlookers: "Everybody knows why we're here… we just want to sing a few songs about peace, just to spread love and joy, and to pay our honour and respect to the people who died almost four weeks ago.
"And to spread light… we all need it."
Pete Hall, a British tourist, told AFP: "It was inspiring, it was raw, it was real.
"She was paying her respects to Paris."
Reaction on Twitter included praise from fan MadonnaEffect, who said: "Madonna yet again reminding me why she is my absolute IDOL.
"So proud of her, she is the gift that just keeps on giving."
At her concert earlier on Wednesday evening, Madonna had wrapped herself in the French flag and sang the country's national anthem, La Marseillaise.
She told the audience: "We will not bend down to fear. I think of what happened almost four weeks ago now. The heart of Paris and the heart of France beats in the heart of each city.
"I came here when I was 20 and it was here, in Paris, that I decided to make music. Thank you Paris for planting that seed in my heart."
The 20-year-old has featured once for the Canaries' Under-21 side in the EFL Trophy this season, having joined from Dartford in February.
Midfielder Adams played four times in the Conference Premier for Dartford in the 2014-15 season.
Braintree are hoping they will be able to extend the deal to the end of the season once he turns 21 in January.
Once one of the biggest importers of energy, the country is now looking to export its ample resources to the rest of the world.
All this has been made possible by the booming gas output from the country's shale formations.
And now there are calls for the US to speed-up exports of natural gas, a move that some say will not only make it a dominant player in the sector, but also shake-up the global energy market.
But it is unlikely to be as simple and easy as it sounds.
To begin with, under current rules companies need an approval to export gas to countries which do not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US.
This includes major global consumers such as nations in Europe and Asia.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has so far granted approval to seven firms, but many of them still need to get a green light from the Federal Regulatory Energy Commission (FERC).
To make matters more difficult, these companies still need to build facilities that can handle gas exports, which currently don't exist.
These facilities take a long time to build and the first terminal is only expected to be ready by late 2015, at the earliest.
Most are expected to start only between 2017 and 2019.
"It takes about four years to get such a terminal up and running, and that is after you have all your approvals in place," says Tom Choi, national gas practice leader at consultants Deloitte MarketPoint.
But there is one advantage that US enjoys over other energy markets, and that is pricing.
Natural gas prices in the US have been hovering around $4 (£2.4) per million British thermal units (BTU), a fraction of the costs in Europe or Asia.
One of the key reasons for this disparity is that companies supplying to European and Asian countries tend to link gas and oil prices, which drives costs between three or four times higher than the US.
Analysts say if the US, which does not index the gas prices to oil, starts exporting to these nations, it will bring down global prices.
The seven projects that have been approved by the US energy department have a combined capacity to export nearly 10 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas per day.
To put that figure in context, it would be enough to meet the entire gas demand of Germany - Europe's biggest economy.
The energy department has applications pending from another 24 terminals looking to export more than 25bcf of gas per day, to countries that don't have a free trade agreement with the US.
The calls for US to ease its export restrictions have gathered pace in recent days, amid the developments in Ukraine.
Some have suggested that US natural gas could help challenge Russia's dominance in the sector and reduce its political influence in the region.
Earlier this week, David Montgomery, a senior vice president at NERA Economic Consulting, estimated that increased US competition could drive down Russia's revenues from natural gas exports by as much as 30% over the next five years.
He said that Russia's revenues could fall by as much as 60% in the longer term.
"Since energy exports are the mainstay of the still inefficient and lagging Russian economy, this is a penalty with teeth," he told a US Senate Committee hearing.
He said that even if takes five to 10 years for US gas exports to reach a substantial level, a clear policy "would have an immediate effect on the pricing of natural gas and Russia's revenues".
David Goldwyn, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution said: "This bounty could enhance our national power by positioning our nation as a reliable supplier of natural gas to regions of the world that suffer from intimidation from their suppliers."
But some have argued that US exports are unlikely to begin soon and thus will not impact Russia in the near term.
They say Europe and other countries heavily reliant on Russian supplies will be better served by tapping into their domestic resources.
The US will also have to balance domestic concerns with its global ambitions.
Low-cost natural gas is widely seen as a key driver of the recent resurgence of manufacturing in the country - key to its continued economic recovery.
Cheaper gas has kept energy prices low in the US, while they have risen in Asia.
Fracking uses huge amounts of water that must be transported to the fracking site, at significant environmental cost.
There is also the worry that potentially carcinogenic chemicals may escape and contaminate groundwater around fracking sites. The industry suggests pollution incidents are the results of bad practice, rather than an inherently risky technique.
Finally, environmental campaigners say that fracking is simply distracting energy firms and governments from investing in renewable sources of energy, and encouraging continued reliance on fossil fuels.
That, coupled with rising wages in countries such as China, has seen many firms bring some outsourced manufacturing back to US shores.
So plans to start exporting gas have triggered opposition from some sections of the industry.
The key concern has been that higher prices outside the US may see companies export more, creating a demand and supply gap in the US market, and raising domestic prices.
But industry watchers say any increase in domestic prices will be negligible and US customers will also benefit from falling global prices.
They say cheaper gas prices will lower manufacturing costs in countries that export goods to the US and result in lower prices.
There have also been concerns over the environmental impact of increased gas production, not least because of the process of fracking used to extract it.
According to research firm Advance Resources International, the US has technically recoverable shale gas reserves of more than 1,000 trillion cubic feet.
Most estimates suggest that it will have substantial surpluses available to export for decades to come.
The only question is: can it tap into these resources fast enough?
Lisa Hauxwell, 48, was sentenced to 14 years in her absence in November 2016 for rape and indecent assault.
Hauxwell, from Darlington, was arrested in Newark, Nottinghamshire on Tuesday, police said.
Hauxwell, who police said was living as a man when found, was tracked down after dozens responded to the appeal.
Nottinghamshire Police said of the 48-year-old, who committed the crimes as Craig John Hauxwell: "The fugitive had carried out the offences while living as a man, but was sentenced under the name of Lisa."
Det Insp Yvonne Dutson of Durham Police said: "This a fantastic result and due entirely to the calls we had following the appeal on Crimewatch.
"We understand Hauxwell had been living at the address in Newark for several months, without anyone knowing his true identity."
The sex assaults took place in the Newton Aycliffe area of County Durham during 2001 and 2002.
The two rapes and seven indecent assaults were described by police as "horrendous".
Hauxwell will be handed over to police in Durham "in due course", police said.
The India-owned Malaviya Twenty has been detained in Great Yarmouth docks since it arrived in June.
The crew has not been paid and port fees and running costs have seen debts soar to more than £300,000.
Now a transport union has stepped in to take charge of the vessel and will sell it in order to settle the arrears.
Under Border Force restrictions, the men are not allowed to leave Great Yarmouth until the issue is resolved.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) impounded the Malaviya Twenty when it discovered the crew was not receiving wages and port fees had not been paid.
The vessel's owners, GOL Offshore, had pushed to delay payments until February.
The International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) applied to the Admiralty Court in London to effectively arrest the ship and sell it, using the money raised to pay and repatriate the crew and settle its debts.
The owner of Great Yarmouth docks, Peel Ports, has also been unable to grant the ship permission to leave because of a debt of around £30,000 in unpaid fees.
Paul Keenan, an inspector with the ITF, visited the stricken vessel on Thursday and said the crew were coping well but were "mentally fatigued".
"One of the main concerns for us is that 80% of these men's wages go back to their families in India to pay rent and food," he said.
"Living for months without wages can make life very difficult indeed."
Great Yarmouth's port chaplain, the Reverend Peter Paine, paid tribute to local efforts to provide food and help to the crew, describing the response to an appeal as "absolutely fantastic".
The situation mirrors that of the Malaviya Twenty's sister ship - the Malaviya Seven - which currently languishes in Aberdeen harbour for the same reason.
Mr Keenan confirmed the ITF will now seek potential buyers for the Malaviya Twenty, a process that could take up to three months.
He said he was hopeful the crew will be paid and heading home by the middle of January.
Markets have been "tainted" by scandals to an extent that the public now question their integrity, Mr Carney told the BBC.
An "open forum" that includes the public will look at how markets can have "a positive future".
Mr Carney said it was important that all sectors of society had their say.
Chancellor George Osborne and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi are also attending the forum.
Mr Carney said: "Markets lose their social acceptability if they're not viewed as being effective, not working well, that's the first aspect.
"They also lose that social acceptability if they're viewed as not having integrity. If there's a series of scandals, there's a perception of ethical drift.
"There was widespread misconduct in certain parts of markets, which tainted markets more broadly and required a forceful response," he added.
Chancellor George Osborne said he shared "some of this frustration and anger" that the public feel towards markets.
"If you go and shoplift at the local WH Smith, you go to prison, but the market trader on the trading floor of a big investment bank, and you rip off people to the tune of millions of pounds, there are no criminal offences available to deal with you," he said.
There was a lot of "totally understandable anger" over the last five years over the "biggest single economic crash of our lifetimes".
"The idea that just a couple of years on. you can go. 'Oh well, let's forget about all of that' and move on is a bit optimistic. It's going to take time and the financial services sector, and indeed in the regulators and the politicians responsible, have to prove to the public that things really have changed."
He added that people needed to see there were "tougher laws and tougher regulation, and people who commit crimes go to prison, that the banking system if it gets into trouble or individual banks that get into trouble will be bailed out by their creditors rather than by the taxpayers, and that there will be openness and transparency".
About 400 people are attending the forum at the Guildhall in London, with about half securing their places through a public ballot. Hundreds of schools are also screening the event.
Savita Halappanavar's family said she asked several times for her pregnancy to be terminated because she had severe back pain and was miscarrying.
Her husband told the BBC that it was refused because there was a foetal heartbeat.
Ms Halappanavar's death, on 28 October, is the subject of two investigations.
An autopsy carried out two days after her death found she had died from septicaemia, according to the Irish Times.
Ms Halappanavar, who was 31 and originally from India, was a dentist.
Praveen Halappanavar said staff at University Hospital Galway told them Ireland was "a Catholic country".
When asked by the BBC if he thought his wife would still be alive if the termination had been allowed, Mr Halappanavar said: "Of course, no doubt about it."
He said Savita had been "on top of the world" before experiencing difficulties.
"It was her first baby, first pregnancy and you know she was on top of the world basically," he said.
"She was so happy and everything was going well, she was so excited.
"On the Saturday night everything changed, she started experiencing back pain so we called into the hospital, the university hospital."
He said she continued to experience pain and asked a consultant if she could be induced.
"They said unfortunately she can't because it's a Catholic country," Mr Halappanavar said.
"Savita said to her she is not Catholic, she is Hindu, and why impose the law on her.
"But she said 'I'm sorry, unfortunately it's a Catholic country' and it's the law that they can't abort when the foetus is live."
The baby's heartbeat stopped on the Wednesday.
"I got a call at about half twelve on the Wednesday night that Savita's heart rate had really gone up and that they had moved her to ICU," Mr Halappanavar said.
"Things just kept on getting worse and on Friday they told me that she was critically ill."
He said some of Savita's organs stopped functioning and she died on Sunday 28 October.

Abortion remains a divisive issue in the Republic of Ireland, but not as divisive as it once was.
But the country's abortion laws are a mess and have been for 20 years since what was called the 'X case'.
'X' was a suicidal pregnant 14-year-old school girl, the victim of a rape who was initially prevented from leaving the state to terminate her pregnancy.
The Irish Supreme Court ruled that the mother and child have an equal right to life but that the threat of suicide was grounds for an abortion.
However, no government has enacted legislation to give certainty to doctors as to when terminations can be carried out and under what circumstances.
Politicians privately admit this is due to a belief on their part that people in the Irish Republic don't want abortion in Ireland as long as there's a British solution to the country's abortion problem.
Pro-choice activists accuse successive governments of moral cowardice.
But the current Fine Gael-Labour coalition has said it will finally legislate on the matter.
University Hospital Galway is to carry out an internal investigation. It said it could not comment on individual cases but would be cooperating fully with the coroner's inquest into Ms Halappanavar's death.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Galway Roscommon University Hospitals Group extended its sympathy to the husband, family and friends of Ms Halappanavar.
It said it was standard practice to review unexpected deaths in line with the Irish Health Service Executive's (HSE) National Incident Management Policy.
"Galway Roscommon University Hospitals Group wishes to emphasise that the facts of this tragic case have yet to be established; that is the purpose of the review," the statement said.
The HSE has launched a separate investigation.
Asked if the Irish government would carry out an external inquiry into the death, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny said: "It would be very appropriate that we don't rule anything out here, but there are two reports and investigations going on at the moment."
The group Precious Life, which campaigns against abortion, said its thoughts and prayers were with Ms Halappanavar's family.
In a statement, it said it hoped the investigations would "shed full light" on what had happened.
"Ireland's laws protecting unborn babies do not pose a threat to women's lives, according to the obstetricians and gynaecologists who care for women every day," they said.
Dr Muiris Houston, health analyst for The Irish Times, said that all of the circumstances surrounding the incident had not been revealed yet.
He described it as a "rare situation".
"It is deeply shocking, but I think as responsible people we have to remember that you do need to hear all sides of the story before you make any definitive comment," he said.
"I do believe we need to do that in this case."
About 2,000 protesters assembled outside the Irish parliament in Dublin on Wednesday evening to call for the Irish government to urgently reform the Republic's abortion laws.
A minute's silence was held in memory of Mrs Halappanavar.
A group of about 40 protesters also gathered outside the Irish embassy in London.
In Cork, a candlelight vigil was held at the city's opera house in memory of the dentist.
Abortion is illegal in the Republic except where there is a real and substantial risk to the life, as distinct from the health, of the mother.
The Irish government in January established a 14-member expert group to make recommendations based on a 2010 European Court of Human Rights judgment that the state failed to implement existing rights to lawful abortion where a mother's life was at risk.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health said that the group was due to report back to the Minister for Health, James Reilly, shortly.
"The minister will consider the group's report and subsequently submit it to government," the spokesperson said.
Mr Halappanavar is still in India after accompanying his wife's body there for her funeral.
Smith, 32, put up a courageous display but the 35-year-old Abraham grew stronger as the fight progressed.
Abraham won on all three of the judges' scorecards - 116-112, 117-111, 117-111 - to end Smith's hopes.
Smith was outpointed by Abraham in a far more controversial decision last September in Kiel, Germany.
"I felt I left it all in there tonight, I'm not going home with any or many regrets," said Smith, who now has 35 wins and five defeats from 40 professional fights.
"I've held my own more than enough with a quality world champion. He's only behind Carl Froch in the super-middleweight division and I believe I beat him the first time. But he beat me this time."
Smith came out on the front foot, landing with the jab and possibly taking the first round, after which Abraham slowly assumed control.
Smith's legs were made to sag in the fourth after a right hook from the champion but Abraham did appear to be affected by a Smith body shot in the sixth.
However, Abraham became more and more relentless as the fight wore on and Smith already needed a knockout with three rounds remaining.
Smith was wobbled by a big right hand in the 10th, after which the champion coasted the final two rounds.
On the undercard, Liverpool heavyweight David Price continued rebuilding his career with a sixth-round stoppage of Brazil's Irineu Beato Costa Junior.
Afterwards, Price, who was knocked out twice by American Tony Thompson in 2013, called out Manchester's Tyson Fury, although Londoner Dereck Chisora might be a more realistic option.
"It's time to go home now I think," said the 31-year-old, who now has 19 wins from 21 pro fights.
"I've lost twice, I've got nothing to lose and a man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man.
"Tyson Fury deserves a shot at the world title and I hope he gets it but if he doesn't and he's looking for an alternative in the UK, the biggest fight out there for him is me."
Also on the same bill, Leeds featherweight prospect Josh Warrington stopped Nicaragua's Edwin Tellez in the fifth round to improve his record to 20 wins from as many fights.
Warrington's next fight is against Puerto Rico's Dennis Tubieron in Leeds on 11 April, after which promoter Eddie Hearn will look to manoeuvre him into a world title contention.
Low bird numbers mean many estates are delaying the start of the season, with some preparing themselves for no shooting at all.
It comes at a time when they are being heavily scrutinised by the Scottish government and conservation groups.
Wildlife campaigners want estates to be licensed to help protect birds of prey.
RSPB Scotland said estates should be licensed because self-regulation had not worked.
The grouse shooting season lasts from 12 August to 10 December in Scotland.
The Finzean Estate in Aberdeenshire has already cancelled its shooting programme after a disappointing bird count.
Among the purple carpet of heather on the high moors there are no signs of the small red birds.
Gamekeeper Hedge Shand said: "It's really disappointing because of all the work you put into the moor all season and you expect to get some sort of shooting programme.
"You go in and count them and are getting only two in a covert when you are looking for six, seven or eight. That's when you can shoot the surplus."
The tradition of the 'Glorious Twelfth' goes back hundreds of years and there have always been good years and bad.
This is the second consecutive poor season at Finzean and for landowner Andrew Farquharson that is costly.
He said: "Financially, obviously, it hits the estate income but having said that, grouse moor management is an ongoing thing so we won't abandon the moor.
"We'll carry on doing our heather burning, our butt maintenance and our road repairs, so from that respect the management doesn't change."
The stones butts, where shooting participants hide from their targets, can be susceptible to damage from wind, rain and snow. This year, the repairs are the only activity they'll see.
The shooting industry is under great scrutiny from the Scottish government and conservation groups.
There is a review into fox hunting being considered by ministers, high-profile cases of raptor persecution and now a debate about whether these shooting estates should be licensed.
Tim Baynes, from the Scottish Moorland Group, said: "The idea that you would have a licence that could be taken away is very draconian and really doesn't fit with the sort of style of management that you have to do here.
"It would be open to abuse, we know, because of some of the people who oppose grouse shooting. We think that's a real danger and largely we believe it's just totally unnecessary."
On the other side of the licensing argument is RSPB Scotland who have long supported the principle which, they say, works well in other countries.
Head of Investigations Ian Thomson said: "We feel that regulation is the only way forward. Self-regulation has failed.
"We'd like to see a situation where a right to shoot has to be dependent on both sustainable and legal management of our uplands."
The two sides of this argument are unlikely to reach a consensus on the licensing of shooting estates, especially at such an emotive time of the year.
There's little desire politically to bring an end to this industry either, with its estimated economic value of £155m.
This year's poor bird numbers are a disappointing blip, but they come in an industry which is showing signs of long-term growth.
The tournament for teams outside the top flight will also include an under-20s side from each Scottish Premiership club in the first round.
Four teams from the Highland League and four from the Lowland League will also enter at that stage in August.
Two Welsh sides and two from Northern Ireland enter the last 16 in October.
It is expected these will be the top two from the Welsh Premier League and Northern Ireland Football League, meaning places for The New Saints and Bala Town and Crusaders and Linfield.
One Welsh side and one from Northern Ireland will be guaranteed a home tie.
Draws will be regionalised throughout the competition and seeded for the first three rounds, with the final to be played in March.
"We are very pleased to be supported by Uefa in delivering an element of cross-border competition through the invitation to our colleagues in Northern Ireland and Wales," said Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster.
The SPFL say the majority of fixtures will take place during international weekends, while BBC ALBA, S4C and Premier Sports will all show live matches.
Championship winners Rangers lifted the trophy last season, beating Peterhead in the final at Hampden.
The firm said it did not believe its own systems had been compromised, but rather that the players' login details had been stolen from elsewhere.
The company said that no money had been taken from or added to the compromised accounts.
But it added that there had been other suspicious activity on fewer than 50 of them.
The Information Commissioner's Office said it had launched an investigation into the matter.
"Camelot submitted a breach report to us last night which we have reviewed. We will be talking to Camelot today," said a spokeswoman.
"The Data Protection Act requires organisations to do all they can to keep personal data secure - that includes protecting it from cyberattacks. Where we find this has not happened, we can take action.
"Organisations should be reminded that cybersecurity is a matter for the boardroom, not just the IT department."
Camelot said it became aware of the problem on Sunday.
"We are currently taking all the necessary steps to fully understand what has happened, but we believe that the email address and password used on the National Lottery website may have been stolen from another website where affected players use the same details," it said in a statement.
"We do not hold full debit card or bank account details in National Lottery players' online accounts and no money has been taken or deposited.
"However, we do believe that this attack may have resulted in some of the personal information that the affected players hold in their online account being accessed."
A spokeswoman added that the accounts represented a small fraction of the draw's 9.5 million registered online players.
Camelot is contacting the owners of the accounts thought to have been compromised and instructing them to change their passwords.
One security expert said there had been many recent attacks where logins stolen from one platform had been tested and used to breach another.
But he still had concerns about Camelot's explanation.
"If there's 26,500 accounts here and they are saying the credentials are correct but they didn't come from us, they still let an attacker log in 26,500 times," said Troy Hunt.
"That alone is something that illustrates a deficiency."
Camelot has defended its systems.
"We do have extremely robust systems in place. However, cybercriminals are very persistent and, in this case, used multiple, different IP [internet protocol] addresses over a short period of time.
"As soon as we detected [a] significant increase in both attempted and failed log-ins, we were able to quickly take action to block them."
Other recent attacks targeted at the UK public include:
The University of Surrey's Prof Alan Woodward says these rules should be observed when setting an online password:
Don't choose one obviously associated with you
Hackers can find out a lot about you from social media so if they are targeting you specifically and you choose, say, your pet's name you're in trouble.
Choose words that don't appear in a dictionary
Hackers can precalculate the encrypted forms of whole dictionaries and easily reverse engineer your password.
Use a mixture of unusual characters
You can use a word or phrase that you can easily remember but where characters are substituted, eg, Myd0gha2B1g3ars!
You can make this even stronger by adding in some random characters, eg Myd0g*ha2B1g$3ars!, if you can remember them. But don't be tempted to make the phrase simpler and shorter in order to help you recall it.
Have different passwords for different sites and systems
If hackers compromise one system you do not want them having the key to unlock all your other accounts. As we all have so many accounts, you should consider using a password manager. This has the added advantage that it will suggest strong passwords.
The 24-year-old scored 291 runs at an average of 41.57 in the T20 Blast last season and featured eight times in the County Championship.
"I'm very grateful for the faith the club are showing in me," the former New Zealand Under-19 captain said.
"I'm excited to be a part of this young team moving forward."
South Africa-born Cachopa, who can also keep wicket, has spent the the winter in New Zealand representing Wellington as an overseas player.
"Craig is an extremely talented, versatile young player with a bright future," Sussex head coach Mark Davis said.
"I believe we will see great things from this young player in the years to come."
Mrs Foster set up the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in 2012 but an overspend could cost taxpayers £400m.
Martin McGuinness said he was concerned that "credibility of the political institutions is being undermined".
But Mrs Foster replied that she would not be stepping aside and "does not take her instructions from Sinn Féin".
Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) are in a power-sharing coalition and they hold joint office in the roles of first and deputy first minister.
The statement from Mr McGuinness follows similar calls for Mrs Foster to step aside by the Ulster Unionist Party and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP).
Mrs Foster became leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) a year ago this week and has been first minister of Northern Ireland since January.
She was responsible for introducing the RHI scheme in her former role as minister for enterprise, trade and investment.
However, overgenerous offers of fuel subsidies and a lack of cost controls meant the scheme overspent by hundreds of millions of pounds.
Mr McGuinness said the RHI allegations included claims from former DUP minster Jonathan Bell that there was "corruption".
Martin McGuinness' call on Arlene Foster to step aside has moved things on to a different level.
Sinn Féin and the DUP are now saying very different things.
Sinn Féin is probably under pressure and some of its supporters will be asking - why are you propping up these people?
They feel that they must be seen to be doing something.
Sinn Féin could side with the opposition in Monday's no confidence motion, which would be extraordinary, but it would be symbolic as it would need cross-community support in the assembly.
Mr Bell claimed some DUP special advisers (SPADs) attempted to "cleanse the record" by removing references to Mrs Foster and her department from documents linked to the scheme.
The ex-DUP minister also alleged some SPADs prevented him from closing down the most expensive part of the scheme last autumn.
"Taxpayers' money wasted in this scheme, needs to be retrieved," Mr McGuinness said.
"It is my belief the only way to establish the truth, and rebuild the reputation of the institutions, is to urgently establish a fully independent investigation into this matter.
"In addition, I also said that, in the public interest, she should stand aside from the role as first minister while that investigation is under way and at least until an initial assessment had been concluded into the veracity of all the allegations."
In response, a DUP statement said: "The first minister will not be stepping aside, but instead is focused on ensuring the full facts about this issue emerge and proposals are brought forward which can make a significant reduction in the future financial burden the Executive would face.
"The first minister does not take her instructions from Sinn Féin, but from the electorate."
The SDLP leader Colm Eastwood welcomed the Deputy First Minister's intervention.
He said: "It's right that he now moves to adopt the position of authority that Opposition parties have already taken.
"Sinn Féin must say publicly and clearly that they will support our efforts to restore confidence in our institutions and reach the truth of this matter. This is not a time for further equivocation."
The 29-year-old midfielder joins on a three-year deal, with the fee possibly rising to around £13m with add-ons.
Cabaye joined PSG from Newcastle for £19m in January 2014 but started just 13 matches as Laurent Blanc's side won a domestic Treble last season.
Palace's previous transfer record was £7m, paid in 2014 to Wigan for 27-year-old Scottish midfielder James McArthur.
Palace manager Alan Pardew signed Cabaye from Lille in 2011 during his time as Newcastle boss, with the France international going on to score 18 goals in 93 appearances for the Magpies.
Cabaye said he was focused on his "new life" and believed that Palace could "compete to get into the top eight".
He said: "I also know the gaffer and have worked with him before and I'm confident with him. I want to do my best for him because he's made a big effort to get me to come here, as well as the chairman."
Last year the form of Thiago Motta, Javier Pastore, Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi meant Cabaye, who has 38 international caps, was used largely as a substitute at PSG.
The French club won the Ligue 1 title, the French cup and the French league cup last season.

Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee chairman Jesse Norman suggested London Marathon winners and medallists and "potentially, British athletes" were under suspicion.
Radcliffe, 41, was not named but said she "categorically denies" cheating.
Mr Norman said his comments were "taken out of context".
"Nothing could be further from the intention of the committee than to have named any athlete - in fact no names were given, no allegations were made, no specific athletes were described, no test results were mentioned," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"In a three-hour hearing what has happened is the press pack have basically taken this single snippet and run off to Paula Radcliffe and attempted to bounce her into some kind of statement and I think that's very unfortunate."
Radcliffe, a three-time London Marathon winner and the only British athlete since 1996 to win the event, issued a statement following the hearing saying she was "devastated" that her name had been "linked to these wide-ranging accusations".
"By linking me to allegations of cheating, damage done to my name and reputation can never be fully repaired, no matter how untrue I know them to be," she said.
She said it was "profoundly disappointing that the cloak of parliamentary privilege has been used to effectively implicate me".
Radcliffe later tweeted: "No way I can reply to everyone but I am humbled and touched beyond words by everyone's support. Thank you all."

The announcement by Craig Wright that he was behind the Bitcoin virtual currency has sparked controversy.
Mr Andresen said evidence he had seen convinced him that Mr Wright is who he claims to be.
"He fits the kind of person I was interacting with way back in 2010," he told the BBC. "He provided cryptographic proof using the very first Bitcoin block to show he possessed that key."
The early Bitcoin blocks are the ones widely accepted to be connected to Satoshi Nakamoto - the pseudonym adopted by the creator of Bitcoin.
"To me he's proved it beyond a reasonable doubt."
The 20-year-old former Blackburn player joined the Cherries in July, initially as part of the under-23 squad.
But following a pre-season appearance against Valencia, Mahoney is hungry for a chance in Eddie Howe's senior side.
"I've always wanted to play in the Premier League - once I've ticked that off, I can make new goals," he said.
Mahoney played 21 games for Blackburn last season, but made his English Football League debut aged 16 for Accrington in August 2013.
Interest also came from Nottingham Forest once his contract at Rovers had expired, but Mahoney admitted Bournemouth's passing style influenced his decision to join on a four-year deal.
"It's a massive step up from where I've been playing," he told BBC Radio Solent. "But, when you play with better players, you raise your game.
"I've got to be bright, intelligent and quick on my feet to play for Bournemouth. Some of the passing drills I've done in training so far have been unbelievable.
"You've got to be a good player, but also quick in the brain too."
The benchmark Nikkei 225 closed 0.4% higher at 16,834.84 points.
At the G7 summit, under way in Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe warned the global economy may be on the verge of a financial crisis similar to that seen in 2008.
Japanese media say the comments may indicate the government intends to delay the sales tax increase.
The planned increase was designed to help balance the budget.
Yet with Japan skirting recession, there has been increasing pressure on Mr Abe to postpone this, so the country can avoid slipping into deflation.
Fresh data on Friday showed that consumer prices fell for a second month in April to 0.3%, adding more pressure on the central bank to make additional stimulus efforts to achieve the 2% inflation target.
Investors across the Asia Pacific region were also looking ahead to a speech by the chair of the US Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen on Friday, for signs of whether the Fed will raise interest rates in June.
China's Shanghai Composite traded 0.3% higher at 2,830.42 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng was 0.8% up at 20,564.40.
In Australia, the ASX/200 wrapped the day higher by 0.3% at 5,405.90.
South Korea's Kospi index closed the day 0.6% up at 1,969.17.
Two Central American-born students are in custody after a 14-year-old girl was attacked last week at Rockville High School in Maryland, police say.
The White House said "tragedies like this" had motivated President Trump's illegal immigration "crackdown".
On Tuesday night, protesters gathered outside the school, some expressing concern about undocumented immigrants.
Henry Sanchez, 18, and Jose Montano, 17, were charged in the alleged assault, which the victim said took place in a boy's toilet at the beginning of the school day last Thursday.
Authorities say the older boy is in the country illegally, but they refused to disclose the other suspect's immigration status because he is a juvenile.
On Tuesday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer condemned the crime, calling it "shocking, disturbing, horrific and whatever other words that someone can think of".
But at a press conference, school officials played down the immigration angle.
"We would like to change the conversation," said Jack Smith, superintendent of the 159,000-student Montgomery County Public Schools system.
"Some have tried to make this into a question and issue of immigration... but we serve every student who walks through our doors," he added.
He said the two suspects had been enrolled in a special programme for non-English speakers.
On Tuesday night, demonstrators outside the school chanted "safety not sanctuary", a reference to sanctuary cities, where local authorities often protect those without legal US residency from deportation.
Montgomery County Police Capt James Humphries said he believed the victim of the alleged rape was a US citizen.
A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that border agents had encountered Henry Sanchez near the US-Mexico border in Texas last August.
He was freed and ordered to appear before an immigration judge, but no court date was set.
According to the Washington Post, Henry Sanchez spent 17 years of his life in his native Guatemala.
Jose Montano lived in El Salvador for 16 years, according to court documents.
Earlier his week, Maryland lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled legislature passed a bill designed to prevent police from stopping people to ask about their immigration status.
Republican Governor Larry Hogan said the legislation would make it more difficult for the state to co-operate with immigration investigations.
He has vowed to veto the bill.

President: Donald Trump
Republican candidate Donald Trump defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to win the presidency in the 2016 election. Mr Trump's victory was one of the biggest upsets in US political history, confounding the opinion polls and putting an end to eight years of Democratic control of the White House.
A billionaire businessman, reality TV star and political outsider, Mr Trump campaigned on a vow to "make America great again". He presented himself as an agent of change who would bring manufacturing jobs back to the US, tear up unfavourable trade deals, and curb illegal immigration.
During an election campaign generally regarded as the most acrimonious in living memory, Mr Trump drew accusations of racism and misogyny, and managed even to alienate many senior members of his own party.
Yet despite poll predictions that America would elect its first female president in Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump emerged victorious, claiming key swing states amid an enormous wave of support especially among white working-class voters.

The 37-year-old was about to get engaged and had just started a new job which saw her helping to build computer software used by many millions of people every day.
But after her normal commute to her Old Street offices was disrupted when the Tube network was evacuated, she boarded the number 30 bus which was blown up by a suicide bomber at 0947 BST.
Ten minutes earlier she had called her sister to relate the chaotic exodus from Euston station.
She also called her boyfriend Gous Ali who set out on a desperate search for her after the blast.
At the time, Mr Ali described Ms Jain as a "very spiritual, down-to-earth, loving person" who "would not hurt anybody".
Born in Delhi in 1967, Neetu lived in the Indian capital for just one year before her father was offered work as an engineer in England and the family moved to London.
They first lived in Southall, later moving to Kingsbury before settling in Hendon in 1975. Neetu, a Hindu, attended Hendon Senior School where she showed her aptitude for study and science.
In 1988, she graduated from King's College, London, with a biochemistry degree, having been recognised for the best academic results in her year.
She continued her studies with a masters in IT at University College London, taking on part-time work and summer jobs at the Body Shop, Harrods and as a research assistant at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology.
Afterwards, she joined T-Cam and her work took her around the world, from India to Venezuela, to Mexico, Turkey and the US.
Tiring of travelling, she joined Smart Logic in 1994. Just two months before her death, she had begun a new job with TXT4 in Hoxton Square, building computer software.
At her inquest, her sister, Reetu Jain, said: "At this point, she was the happiest that she had ever been with her career and personal life."
She was living in her own flat, close to her parents, and was about to get engaged, her sister added.
"My sister was a beautiful, loving person," she said, in a statement read out at the inquest.
"When I started a family, she always brought my children such joy. I will never forget their laughter when she was with them and the little games she played on their backs.
"Every day I think of all the times we shared. I remember her smile and our daily chats."
Ms Jain's statement added that their mother died in March 2007, "heartbroken by the family's loss".
Speaking shortly after Neetu's death, former colleague Mike Kelly, who worked with Ms Jain on dotcom ventures for some years, said she had been a pleasure to work with.
"Neetu always made the effort to be a friend outside of work," he said.
Another colleague, Laurence Gruet, appreciated her support when "things were bad, and work was often bad".
"You didn't care about race, religion or riches, or any other of this world's tokens of superficiality; the beauty of your heart was there for all to see," he wrote in a letter to Ms Jain after her death.
He went on to say he remembered her last e-mail, trying to get a group of friends together for a meal.
"I can't believe there was always one of us too busy to meet up. What a waste! Why do we always believe there will be another day?"

"The surgery was a success and we wish him all the best with his rehab."
Her 1989 album has debuted at No 1 on America's Billboard 200 albums chart.
It sold 1.287 million copies in its first week.
According to Billboard that is the largest sales week for an album since Eminem's The Eminem Show was released 12 years ago.
But that's not the only reason for Swift to celebrate.
She's now the only act to earn three million-selling weeks with an album. Before 1989, Red sold 1.208 million in it's first week, while Speak Now clocked up 1.047 million sales.
It also means 1989 has jumped ahead of Coldplay's Ghost Stories as the biggest-selling album released in 2014.
In fact Swift's album sold more than the next 106 titles on this week's chart combined.
1989 is just the 19th album to sell a million copies in a week since SoundScan, a sales-tracking system, began counting weekly numbers back in 1991.
Of the last four million-selling weeks, three belong to Swift.
Sales of 1989 were split almost evenly between physical copies and digital downloads.
The physical release, including a CD version with extra tracks sold only at Target, sold 647,000 copies, while 640,000 copies of the digital version were downloaded.

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump will attend the grand opening of the hotel.
Two separate protest rallies are planned for the event.
The hotel and condominium tower developer has been under pressure for months to drop the Trump name from the project.
The CA$360m ($274m/£220m) luxury hotel will have its grand opening on Tuesday with an official ribbon cutting and opening gala.
The 69-storey Canadian tower - designed by famed architect Arthur Erickson to have a distinctive sleek 45-degree twist as it rises upward - is the second-tallest building on the city's skyline.
The luxury hotel and tower in the city was jointly developed by Malaysia-based global property firm TA Global Berhad and Vancouver-based property player Holborn Group.
The Trump brand signed on to the project in 2013.
US President Donald Trump - then a real estate magnate and not a politician - attended the announcement of that partnership, accompanied by his children, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr.
But the controversy that surrounds Mr Trump has become a public relations nightmare for the developer. The site is the location of choice for anti-Trump protests in Vancouver.
Two rallies are planned to coincide with the hotel's big opening - one by Occupy Vancouver and another by two Vancouver high schoolers, Nora Fadel and Yasmin Ahmed, which will include a march to the US consulate.
Ms Fadel told the BBC she first pitched the "Resist 4 Peace" rally on Facebook on a whim but found people were interested in voicing their opposition to Mr Trump's administration.
"Vancouver has no place for negativity, no place for aggression, no place for such a name," she said. "There is no room to have Trump's name on that building. Vancouver is very diverse, is very positive. "
About 40% of the Vancouver population is foreign-born.
Politicians in the province of British Columbia have spoken out against Trump's name on the luxury development.
In December 2015, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called for the name to be removed from the building, saying it had no more place on the city's skyline than Donald Trump's "ignorant ideas have in the modern world".
Thousands signed a petition calling for the name to be scrubbed from the development.
Holborn Group and TA Global chief executive Joo Kim Tiah recently told the Associated Press that he found it "extremely stressful'' when Mr Trump's statements about Muslims, Mexicans and women, among other things, made him unpopular in Vancouver.
"I was terrified," Mr Joo Kim said.
"The people who ran the city were not happy with me. I was scared, but I think they understand. They understand that I'm trapped into - not trapped, locked into - an agreement."
The developer said he had no legal grounds to back out of the licensing deal.
Donald Trump Jr told CTV News in 2016 that he believed Vancouverites would warm to the Trump brand with time.
And he dismissed a criticism by city councilor Kerry Jang, who called the tower a "beacon of racism", as a headline-grabbing "nonsense comment".
Still, despite concern from Mr Trump's opponents, Holborn scored a win when tower's units were sold out last year. At the time, the price of CA$1615 ($1225/£985) per square foot set a record for a Canadian condo project.
Like many similar projects worldwide - including the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto - the Trump Organization provides branding for the Vancouver development and manages the property, but does not retain a stake.
The Trump Organization is an umbrella company for Donald Trump's investments in real estate, brands and other businesses.
In January, Donald Trump said he had formally given "complete and total" control of the Trump Organization's businesses to his two sons in a bid to avoid conflicts of interest.
The broadcaster said the programme had been a "hugely successful brand", but would not be shown at the same time as the Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The show sees celebrities take on challenges like speed skating and ski-jumping and has run for four seasons.
But 34 contestants, including actress Tina Hobley and Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan, have been injured.
Jordan suffered a leg injury while former Coronation Street star actress Hobley broke her arm in two places.
There have also been injuries to:
Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews was the latest winner of the show, which has been presented by Davina McCall.
A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: "The Jump has been a hugely successful brand for Channel 4 over the last four years.
"However, with such a huge amount of winter sport on screen at the start of 2018 we have decided to rest the show for the year."

The original image of Ben Innes, grinning next to his captor on the Egyptair flight, went viral on social media.
Mr Innes, based in Aberdeen, told the Sun newspaper he wanted to "stay cheerful in the face of adversity".
Video footage showing cabin crew taking the photo has now appeared online.
Seif al-Din Mustafa, described by Cypriot officials as being mentally disturbed, used a fake suicide belt to hijack the Egyptair flight and forced it to fly to Larnaca.
He was arrested after a stand-off in Cyprus and the suicide belt was found to be fake.
Mr Innes told the Sun: "I'm not sure why I did it - I just threw caution to the wind while trying to stay cheerful in the face of adversity."
He said the photo, which was taken by a member of the cabin crew, was the "best selfie ever".
The claim: 750,000 people gained citizenship in other EU countries last year, giving them the right to come to the UK. This figure has been increasing every year.
Reality Check verdict: 750,000 is actually a slight understatement. 763,500 people were made citizens of other EU countries and have an automatic right to come to the UK because of EU freedom of movement rules. The figure has not been increasing every year.
The release from the European statistical body (the EU equivalent of the Office for National Statistics) said that the number of people given citizenship across the whole of the EU was 889,100, down from 981,000 the previous year.
Vote Leave sent out a press release saying: "Three-quarters of a million people gained the right to come to UK in the last year."
The three-quarters of a million figure is for the EU (889,100) excluding the UK (125,600), which came to 763,500.
It makes sense to exclude the UK, because people granted UK citizenship have the right to be in the UK because they are UK citizens.
Citizens of other EU countries also have the right to live and work in the UK (unless they pose a current threat to the country) as part of the EU's freedom of movement rules, so Vote Leave are right to say that anyone who gained citizenship of another EU country also gained the right to come to the UK.
Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott went on to say: "The number of people coming to the EU is increasing each year."
Both the figure for the EU and for the EU excluding the UK are down from the previous year. Both figures also fell in 2011, although the totals for 2014 are considerably higher than they were in 2009.
The UK granted citizenship to more people than any other EU member state every year from 2009 to 2012. It was number two in 2013 and number three in 2014.
To put the figures into context, the population of the EU at the start of 2015 was 508.2 million, up from 506.9 million a year earlier.

Simpson left his last club management role in 2012, but has been a first-team coach at both Derby and Newcastle.
The 50-year-old only took over as U20s boss in February, but guided the team to glory in South Korea this month.
"I made a conscious decision after I left Stockport that I wasn't going to back into it for a good few years," Simpson told BBC Radio Derby.
"I really enjoyed going back to Derby [as first-team coach] and didn't want to leave. I didn't enjoy my time at Newcastle, but I have really enjoyed the international side of things.
"In a couple of years, maybe, it will be something I look at again, but I am loving the fact we have come away as world champions and am looking forward to a holiday."
Simpson, who has had spells in charge at Rochdale, Carlisle, Preston, Shrewsbury, Stockport and Northwich, said he was "honoured" to have been the man in charge of English football's biggest international success since 1966.
"It's a huge achievement by the players," he added.
"We had a great five weeks away together. It was an incredible experience and a great journey. Hopefully it will help the players to go on and be successful.
"We had been working towards it since February, so to get to the final whistle and know we had done it was a wonderful feeling. It will stay with me for the rest of my life."
The High Court has barred Aslef from inducing Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) drivers to take industrial action.
Aslef had argued new trains on Gatwick and Southern services were less safe.
Mr Justice Supperstone said the injunction would last until claims Aslef had acted unlawfully had been analysed at a trial.
A date has been set for a hearing on 27 June.
GTR claimed the union had breached rules by already calling upon its members to participate in industrial action.
They also said the union had wrongly balloted drivers who would not be asked to drive the new trains.
Aslef disputed the claims and said the imposition of an injunction barring industrial action in the wake of a ballot would be "oppressive".
Mr Justice Supperstone rejected the union's complaint.
He said: "The potential disruption and inconvenience to the general public and damage likely to be caused by the industrial action significantly outweighs the suggested harm to the union."
Yahoo owns a 43% stake in China's Alibaba group, which it acquired in 2005 for $1bn (£636m), and a part of Yahoo Japan.
It had been negotiating a complex swap-deal that was expected to save it billions of dollars in taxes.
However, various reports indicated that no agreement had been reached.
"I think the deal is either dead or it's going to take a lot longer to complete, which means we don't have a near-term catalyst; hence the selloff," said Brett Harris, an analyst with Gabelli & Co.
The stalemate in talks has come as a huge surprise.
Analysts and industry experts had expected the deal to be formalised, not least because trading in Alibaba's shares at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been suspended since 9 February.
The reported failure of the talks is a big blow for Yahoo, which has been seeking to restructure its operations in a bid to boost its flagging fortunes.
The swap-deal, worth almost $17bn according to some estimates, was not only expected to save taxes, but also provide Yahoo with billions of dollars in cash.
Analysts said unless an agreement is reached soon, Yahoo may see its problems escalate further.
"The honeymoon is already over,'' said Colin Gillis an analyst with BGC Financial. "Yahoo is probably looking at another year of turmoil.''
To make matters more complicated, Daniel Loeb, of hedge fund ThirdPoint, which owns more than 5% of Yahoo, launched a campaign to install his own directors on the firm's board.
"Installing the hand-picked choices of the current board does nothing to allay investor fears that Yahoo is poised to repeat the errors of its past,'' Mr Loeb wrote in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr Loeb's move comes just days after Yahoo announced changes to the board after Chairman Roy Bostock and three board members quit.
Their exit followed that of Jerry Yang, Yahoo's co-founder, who resigned from its board last month.
Yahoo said it had sought suggestions for new directors from several shareholders.
"We have received constructive suggestions from several of our major shareholders and, therefore, it is especially disappointing that Mr. Loeb has chosen a potentially disruptive path, just as the company is moving forward under new leadership to aggressively increase the value of Yahoo,'' the firm said in a statement.
Max Aitken, 41, was reported missing from Larbert on 15 May, two weeks before the discovery at the Seafield end of Portobello beach.

But will future generations remember visionary John Blankenbaker, and his ground-breaking invention, the Kenbak-1 Digital Computer?
It was a machine that first went on sale in 1971 and is considered to have been the world's first "commercially available personal computer", coming on to the market some five years before Apple 1.
In fact it was a panel of experts, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, meeting at the Boston Computer Museum in 1987, which gave the Kenbak-1 its pre-eminent status.
Back in 1970 Mr Blankenbaker, then a computer engineer and consultant, put together his machine at his home in Brentwood, California.
"I came into a little money and decided it was time to build a small computer that could be afforded by everyone," he tells me.
"It did not use any microprocessors, and I did the work in my garage."
In the early days of the office computer even a small device cost thousands of dollars, whereas Mr Blankenbaker's aim was a simple computer that would cost no more than $500 (then roughly £200).
Unlike most hobby computers of the time, it was sold as an assembled and functioning machine rather than as a kit.
His ambition was that the device should be educational, give user satisfaction with simple programmes, and demonstrate as many programming concepts as possible.
"I thought of the Kenbak as an affordable introduction to the study of computer programming - I emphasized the hands on experience," he recalls.
He demonstrated his prototype computer at a high school teacher's convention in southern California, and when the computer went into production, its advertising was focussed on the schools market, something he now feels was a mistake.
"It should have been at the hobby-oriented people," he says. "Schools took too long for budget approval.
"My failure was in marketing, but the machine was a success in its limited way."
As it happens, the costs involved meant the computer had to be sold for $750 (about $4,400 in 2015) . Ironically it's a price that would be considered an investment nowadays, when one considers that a prototype Kenbak-1 sold for $31,000 at Bonhams in New York last month.
Now one of the few remaining existing production models is expected to sell for between 20,000 ($22,000; £14,400) and 40,000 euros when it goes up for auction in Germany on Saturday, 7 November.
By the time Kenbak Corporation closed in 1973 it had completed one production run of just 50 computers, and is now virtually unknown today. Mr Blankenbaker says that as well as US sales, there were also buyers from France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Canada.
Mr Blankenbaker, now 85, and retired to Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, first became interested in computers when he was a first year physics student in the 1940s.
"When I was a freshman at Oregon State College in 1949, I read about Eniac (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer)," he says.
"This inspired me to design a computing device. It was a kludge but it inspired an interest in computers."
Two years later he was an intern at the National Bureau of Standards where he was assigned to the Seac (Standards Eastern Automatic Computer) where he learned how a modern computer worked.
"Seac was very large; it had its own building," he recalls. "In 1952 on graduation I worked for Hughes Aircraft Company in a department which was building a suitcase-sized computer for airborne work."
By 1958 he had described the future principles of the Kenbak-1 machine in an article entitled "Logically Microprogrammed Computers".
The Kenbak-1 was designed before microprocessors were available - the logic consisted of small and medium scale integrated circuits mounted on one printed circuit board. MOS shift registers implemented the serial memory.
"[It] lacked sophisticated input-output, a large memory, and interrupts," says Mr Blankenbaker. "Otherwise it demonstrated stored programs with three registers, five addressing modes, and a rather complete instruction set which only lacked multiplication and division."
"The computer was intended to be educational," he adds.
"Professionals in the field were enthusiastic but it was a struggle to convince the non-professionals that they could buy a real computer at this price."
The Kenbak-1's advertising in 1971 stated: "Fun Educational Modern Electronic Technology created the Kenbak-I with a price that even private individuals and small schools can afford.
"Step-by-step you can learn to use the computer with its three programming registers, five addressing modes, and 256 bytes of memory. Very quickly you, or your family or students, can write programs for fun and interest."
However, as Mr Blankenbaker says, he may have been more successful targeting his sales at the university students and young professionals who would go on to provide Apple's customer base later in the decade, and indeed still do.
After the Kenbak-1 experience he worked at International Communication Sciences, at Symbolics, and at Quotron, before retiring in 1985.
He says he did not make much money out of the Kenbak-1 venture, and that one of his failings was in underestimating the development of high technology.
"In 1970, I had no vision of what the future would bring. I always felt that the current technical situation was the most that could be expected."
Llangollen chain bridge in Denbighshire was built in 1817 by coal merchant Exuperius Pickering for a cheap transport route across the River Dee.
Llangollen town and Llantysilio community councils were behind the restoration project after buying it for £1 when it fell into disrepair after years of neglect.
Chain bridge heritage officer Samantha Jones said it was "a labour of love".
Two girls, then aged 13 and 14, deny murdering Angela Wrightson. The older girl admits manslaughter.
Ms Wrightson, 39, was beaten to death in her home in Hartlepool in December 2014.
At Leeds Crown Court, the younger girl denied harming Ms Wrightson despite having told her lawyers she helped the older girl hit her with a table.
She told jurors earlier that she had been present during the attack but did not take part in it.
She had then heard evidence from blood-spatter expert Dr Gemma Escott, who had told the jury blood on the younger girl's clothes indicated she had hit Ms Wrightson with a weapon.
Following this, the girl signed a statement for her lawyers saying: "I have not told anyone about hitting Angela Wrightson on the head with a table because after it happened I knew it was wrong".
Then, under cross-examination at the latest hearing, she told the court she had only done that because "that Gemma Escott said I did something and my brain told me to say it about the table".
The younger accused was also asked about her behaviour after leaving Ms Wrightson's home in the early hours of 9 December, when the pair laughed and joked as they telephoned the police for a lift home.
She admitted taking a photograph of her co-accused in the back of the police van and posting it on Snapchat.
Jamie Hill QC, defence lawyer for the older girl, asked the younger girl: "Did you think anything bad had happened?", to which she replied "No".
She maintains she did not want Ms Wrightson to be killed or harmed, did not attack her and did not encourage the older girl to do so.
"I was just sat on the sofa smoking a tab and looking at Facebook on my phone," she said.
She said she did not think the woman was dead when they left her house.
The trial continues.
The charge is designed to make sure businesses pay for the skilled workforce of the future.
Wales' deputy skills minister Julie James said the Welsh policy has to wait due to the UK government consultation.
She told the BBC's Wales at Work programme there had been no discussions before the levy announcement.
Ms James said: "We're very distressed about it because we're in the process of consulting on our own policy and this cuts right across."
She said it was an "attack on the devolved nations" and, despite subsequent talks, she was still unclear on the detail of what the levy would mean and how it might impact on Wales' own plans.
"I don't think they gave any thought to devolution whatsoever," she said.
Meanwhile, Ms James said apprenticeships needed to focus on younger school leavers and higher skilled sectors.
She told a conference in Newport on Thursday that too few 16 and 17-year-olds were signing up.
Ms James also stressed the need to fill skill shortages in key sectors such as engineering and IT.
She said there was a perception that apprenticeships were for those not capable of higher level skills.
"We must continue to grow apprenticeships in priority sectors and stretch them to meet emerging skill shortages in technical and highly skilled occupations, such as engineering and IT that will drive productivity," she said.
Wales at Work is on BBC Radio Wales on Thursday, 29 October at 18:30 GMT.
The UK honours system is overseen by the Cabinet Office Honours and Appointments Secretariat.
The Foreign Office has responsibility for the Diplomatic Service and Overseas List which recognises service overseas, or service in the UK with a substantial international component.
UK nationals or citizens from the 15 Commonwealth realms such as Australia, Canada and Jamaica can be nominated for an honour.
Honorary awards for foreign nationals are recommended by the foreign secretary.
Orders for chivalry are made after a personal decision by the Queen.
The honours list consists of knights and dames, appointments to the Order of the British Empire and gallantry awards to servicemen and women, and civilians.
Nominations, submitted either by government departments or by members of the public, are divided into subject areas and assessed by committees comprising independent experts and senior civil servants.
Their assessments are passed to a selection committee that produces the list, independently of government, that is submitted to the Queen through the prime minister.
The Queen informally approves the list and letters are sent to each nominee. Once a nominee accepts the proposed honour, the list is formally approved.
The honours are published in the official Crown newspaper, the London Gazette, twice a year - at New Year, and in mid-June on the date of the Queen's official birthday.
The Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood at St James's Palace then arranges investitures for the recipients to be presented with their medals by the Queen or other members of the Royal Family.
Private nominations, made by individuals or by representatives of organisations to the Cabinet Office, traditionally make up about a quarter of all recommendations.
The honours list does not cover peerages. Starting in May 2000, peers nominated by political parties have been vetted by the House of Lords Appointments Commission. The commission is involved in making recommendations for non-party affiliated peerages.
An outgoing prime minister also has the right to draw up a dissolution or resignation honours list on leaving office, which is then submitted to the Cabinet Office for approval.
In recent years, however, political donations made by a number of recipients have become the subject of media scrutiny.
In a November 2011 response to a parliamentary committee's inquiry into the honours system, the Cabinet Office noted that all candidates for senior awards are "checked against the lists of donations maintained and made public by the Electoral Commission.
"The Main Honours Committee must satisfy itself that a party political donation has not influenced the decision to award an honour in any way; the committee must be confident that the candidate would have been a meritorious recipient of an honour if he or she had not made a political donation."
A Parliamentary and Political Services Committee comprising a majority of independent members and the chief whips of the three major parties was set up in 2012 to considers honours for politicians and for political service.
But in the same year the Commons Public Administration committee urged the government to review the way the whole honours system is administered. It called on ministers to set up independent bodies to nominate recipients for awards and decide when they should be withdrawn, suggesting the government's "lack of willingness to clarify and open up the process" was damaging public confidence.
Honours have sometimes been forfeited. The Honours Forfeiture Committee considers cases where a recipient's actions "raise the question of whether they should be allowed to continue to be a holder of the honour".
The Queen's art adviser Anthony Blunt, stripped of his knighthood in 1979 after being revealed as a Soviet spy, and jockey Lester Piggott, who lost his OBE after he was jailed in 1987 for tax fraud, are among those to have had honours annulled.
In 2012, former Royal Bank of Scotland boss Fred Goodwin - heavily criticised over his role in the bank's near-collapse in 2008 - had his knighthood removed, while entertainer Rolf Harris was stripped of a CBE in March 2015, following his conviction for indecent assault.
Meanwhile, a list of 277 people who had turned down honours between 1951 and 1999, and who had since died, was made public by the Cabinet Office following a BBC Freedom of Information request. The list included the authors Roald Dahl, J G Ballard and Aldous Huxley, and the painters Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud and LS Lowry.
The honour of knighthood comes from the days of medieval chivalry, as does the method used to confer the knighthood: the accolade, or the touch of a sword by the sovereign.
Although Knights Bachelor do not comprise an order of chivalry, knighthood is a dignity which has its origins in Britain in Saxon times. They are styled "Sir" (except for clergymen who do not receive the accolade) and their wives "Lady".
Women receiving the honour are styled "Dame" but do not receive the accolade.
The honour is given for for a pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity.
The rank of Knight Commander (KBE) or Dame Commander (DBE), Order of the British Empire, commonly appears on the Diplomatic Service and Overseas list. It can be given to Britons based abroad or in an honorary capacity to foreign nationals.
The Order of the Bath is an order of chivalry and was founded in 1725 for service of the highest calibre. The order has a civil and military division and is awarded in the following ranks: Knight Grand Cross (GCB), Knight Commander (KCB) and Companion (CB).
The Order takes its name from the symbolic bathing which in former times was often part of the preparation of a candidate for knighthood.
This Order was founded by King George III in 1818 and is awarded to British subjects who have rendered extraordinary and important services abroad or in the Commonwealth. Ranks in the Order are Knight or Dame Grand Cross (GCMG), Knight or Dame Commander (KCMG or DCMG) and Companion (CMG).
This is awarded for service of conspicuous national importance and is limited to 65 people. Recipients wear the initials CH after their name.
King George V created these honours during World War I to reward services to the war effort by civilians at home and servicemen in support positions.
The ranks are Commander (CBE), Officer (OBE) and Member (MBE).
They are now awarded for prominent national or regional roles and to those making distinguished or notable contributions in their own specific areas of activity. The honour of an MBE, in particular, can be given for achievement or service in the community.
The medal was founded in 1917 and was awarded for "meritorious" actions by civilians or military personnel, although the recipients did not attend a royal investiture.
It was scrapped in 1993 by former Conservative Prime Minister John Major, as part of his drive towards a "classless" society.
Nearly two decades on, Prime Minister David Cameron has announced its revival, and from 2012, to coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, about 300 will be awarded annually to community volunteers.
By 1896, prime ministers and governments had increased their influence over the distribution of awards and had gained almost total control of the system. Therefore, Queen Victoria instituted The Royal Victorian Order as a personal award for services performed on her behalf.
Today this honour is still awarded in recognition of services to the royal family. The ranks are Knight or Dame Grand Cross (GCVO), Knight or Dame Commander (KCVO or DCVO), Commander (CVO), Lieutenant (LVO) and Member (MVO).
Associated with the Royal Victorian Order is the Royal Victorian Medal which has three grades: gold, silver and bronze. The circular medal is attached to the ribbon of the Order.
More than one grade may be held by the same person and the medal may be worn along with the insignia of the Order itself.
Founded in 1883 by Queen Victoria, the award is confined to the nursing services. Those awarded the first class are designated "Members" (RRC): those awarded the Second Class are designated "Associates" (ARRC).
It is said that the suggestion for the founding of this decoration was made to Queen Victoria by Florence Nightingale.
This is awarded for distinguished service in the police force.
This honour is given to firefighters who have displayed conspicuous devotion to duty.
The actor and comedian, who hosts The Late Late Show on US television, replaces rapper LL Cool J, who has presented the show since 2011.
Corden's appointment comes off the back of his successful Carpool Karaoke series, which has featured stars like Adele, Elton John and Lady Gaga.
The former Gavin and Stacey star said he was "truly honoured".
"It's the biggest, most prestigious award show in music and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such an incredible night," he added.
Corden, 38, has ample experience of hosting music awards, after helming the Brits from 2011 to 2014.
With Adele expected to receive multiple nominations for next year's Grammys, he will be hoping to avoid a repeat of the 2012 Brits, where he was forced to interrupt the star mid-speech as she accepted her award for best British album because the show was over-running.
The singer, who was clearly annoyed at being cut off, walked off stage holding up her middle finger to the camera.
Corden later said he was "furious" at being "put in a horrible position" and had apologised to Adele in her dressing room immediately after the show.
Since moving to America to host The Late Late Show last year, Corden has seen his profile rise exponentially.
He won plaudits for hosting the Tony Awards - which recognise achievement on Broadway - earlier this year; and his chat show won an Emmy Award in September.
But Carpool Karaoke has proved to be his biggest success, racking up more than two billion plays on YouTube alone.
A recurring segment on his show, it sees famous musicians hitch a ride in Corden's car, while singing along to their biggest hits.
Madonna and Bruno Mars are set to be his next guests and the concept is being turned into a full stand-alone series.
"Thanks to Carpool Karaoke, we've all been on some incredible rides with James," said Neil Portnow, chief executive of the Recording Academy, which arranges the Grammys.
"He's got big shoes to fill after the magnificent run we had with LL Cool J, but James Corden is a commanding, dynamic showman who, we believe, is perfect to host the Grammy Awards."
Pop star Meghan Trainor will announce the nominees for the four main categories - record of the year, song of the year, album of the year and best new artist - live on US breakfast show This Morning on 6 December.
The remaining 80 categories will be revealed on social media immediately afterwards.
Beyonce, Drake and David Bowie are expected to receive multiple nominations. However, R&B star Frank Ocean deliberately refused to submit his songs for Grammy consideration, saying the awards typically overlooked black artists in the album of the year category.
"That institution certainly has nostalgic importance," Ocean told the New York Times last week. "It just doesn't seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down."
He added: "I think the infrastructure of the awarding system and the nomination system and screening system is dated. I'd rather this be my Colin Kaepernick moment for the Grammys than sit there in the audience."
Kaepernick is a quarterback for American Football team the San Francisco 49ers, who gained notoriety when he refused to stand for the national anthem as a protest against racial inequality.
The winners of the 2017 Grammy Awards will be revealed at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday 12 February.

Rehab Dughmosh, 32, was charged with 14 counts of terrorism-related offences, a month after allegedly threatening store employees with a knife.
While in a Toronto court facing assault charges related to the incident, Ms Dughmosh declared her support for IS.
Most of the terrorism charges are related to that alleged assault on employees of a Canadian Tire store.
In June, Ms Dughmosh allegedly threatened employees of the Toronto-area branch with a knife, injuring one person. She was charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, assault, uttering threats, carrying a concealed weapon, and two counts of possession of a weapon.
When she appeared in court to face those charges, she pledged her allegiance to the leader of IS, telling the court: "I am pledged to the leaders of the believers, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi."
Prosecutors now believe the assault was motivated by terrorism, and 13 of the 14 charges relate to that incident.
One additional charge alleges Ms Dughmosh travelled to Turkey in April 2016 and attempted to enter Syria to participate in terrorist activity.
Ore has been investigating the state of racism in football for a special Newsround report.
People had thought that racism had been stamped out of football for good - but the events of the 2011/12 season seemed to show a return to the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s.
In this special film, Ore speaks to Danny Shittu of Milwall, former Aston Villa and Chelsea player Paul Elliott and to the head of world football, Sepp Blatter, President of Fifa, to find out what's being done to combat the problem.

Tarus, 27, currently plays for French side Beziers in the country's second division and has 16 caps for Romania.
The front row forward, who played twice in the 2015 World Cup against Ireland and Canada, will join a Sale team that is 10th in the Premiership.
"Alexandru is a great signing for us. He can play on both sides of the scrum, although he is a specialist tighthead," director of Rugby Steve Diamond said.
Tarus is Sale's fourth new signing in the past two months after Glasgow Warriors forward Josh Strauss and Bristol duo Will Cliff and Marc Jones all agreed moves for next season.
Representatives of the movement and Afghan officials signed the accord in a ceremony shown live on TV.
The deal grants immunity to the group's leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, an Islamist warlord accused of numerous atrocities.
He was not present at the signing, which is intended to pave the way for him to return from hiding to Kabul.
Mohammad Amin Karim, head of the insurgent delegation, was present at the ceremony.
He said: "This is not just a peace deal between Hezb-e-Islami and the government of Afghanistan, it is a beginning of a new era of peace all around the country."
Under the terms of the deal, Mr Hekmatyar agrees to accept the constitution and abandon violence. He must still sign the accord with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani for it to come into force.
The two sides have still to agree when and where that will happen.
Mr Hekmatyar is a former Afghan prime minister, warlord and one of the most controversial figures in the country's modern history.
He was one of seven anti-Soviet faction chiefs who led a large number of mujahideen fighters in the war against Soviet occupation in the 1980s. He received significant Western aid and funds during the Cold War.
But he is remembered mostly for his role in the bloody civil war of the 1990s, when the Hezb-e-Islami clashed violently with other mujahideen factions in the struggle for control of the capital, Kabul.
The Hezb-e-Islami was blamed for much of the terrible death and destruction of that period, which led many ordinary Afghans to welcome the emergence of the Taliban.
The civil war also led to Mr Hekmatyar's fall from grace - he quickly became one of the most reviled men in the country and he and his men were forced to flee Kabul when the Taliban swept into power in 1996.
In 2003, the US state department designated him as a terrorist, accusing him of taking part in and supporting attacks by al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
It is still too early to tell if the deal will last. Mr Hekmatyar has a history of shifting allegiances.
Hezb-e-Islami has played a minor role in the Taliban-led insurgency in recent years and so the deal is not expected to improve security in the country.
The accord is highly symbolic, however. It is the first first deal done by Afghans with no UN or international mediation. And Hezb-e-Islami has supporters across the country, meaning the peace agreement could encourage some Taliban leaders to consider joining the process.
BBC Afghan Service editor Waheed Massoud says Mr Hekmatyar appears to have calculated that he will be more significant as a political leader in Kabul than as the leader of a group of fighters up in the mountains who are also competing with the Taliban for influence.
Afghan peace deals have failed before, and a lot remains to be worked out. Mr Hekmatyar still has to negotiate with the Afghan government over where and when he and Mr Ghani will sign the accord, and under what circumstances he will return to Kabul.
There are also concerns about his future role in Afghanistan. Seen as a controversial and attention-seeking figure, he could become more of a headache for Kabul than when he was a rebel leader - potentially forming new coalitions and challenging the government.
Franz-Michael Mellbin, the European Union's special representative for Afghanistan, said of the agreement "proves peace is possible".
"The political space to say no to peace in Afghanistan is now virtually non-existent," he said, adding that the deal "creates a new narrative that has been missing for many, many years".
Ahmad Gilani, the chairman of the Afghan High Peace Council, welcomed the agreement: "I am happy and confident on the finalising of this agreement, that it will be a good start for long lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan."
But New York-based Human Rights Watch issued a statement referring to Mr Hekmatyar as "one of Afghanistan's most notorious war crimes suspects". Researcher Patricia Grossman said his return would "compound the culture of impunity that the Afghan government and its foreign donors have fostered by not pursuing... Hekmatyar and other warlords".
A group of activists protested in Kabul, holding placards portraying Mr Hekmatyar with blood spilling from his mouth and a rocket piercing his nose. One placard read: "We cannot forgive the executioner of Kabul."
Some ordinary Afghans welcomed the agreement. Mohammad Hanif, 62, a shopkeeper, told the Associated Press: "We are thirsty for peace and we welcome anyone who comes in peace, the past is the past."
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said it was too early to comment on the deal.
The Tokyo Shimbun, one of the country's biggest daily titles, has worked with advertising firm Dentsu to create the AR News software.
It allows children to hold a smartphone over the newspaper to see a child-friendly version of the text.
In a promotional video, Dentsu said the app could "create a future for the old media newspaper".
"Newspapers were not made for children," the clip said.
"If newspapers became readable to children, they will contribute to family communication and child's education."
The demo video shows a father laying a newspaper out on a table as the child holds his smartphone over the page. Cartoon characters appear on the screen, explaining stories and drawing attention to important words.
"Difficult articles and social problems, economy and politics became interesting subjects for children," Dentsu said.
"The newspapers became a media read by both parent and child. And also an educational tool for children."
Paul Bradshaw, university lecturer and blogger on new technology in journalism, told the BBC he was impressed with the idea.
"What it's really about is something that's been talked about for a long time, about content being presented in different ways depending on who the user is," he said.
"It means two versions of the content - a grown-up one and the kids one. That has enormous potential. It also tackles a big gap in young readership.
"Are kids going to be interested in the same subjects as adults, even when treated differently? That's a nut to crack."

The Wales flanker missed their 12-3 win over Crusaders on Saturday and has played in only tour game, their 13-7 opening win over Provincial Barbarians.
Warburton suffered the injury in that game.
Coach Warren Gatland said: "We'll probably give Sam a run on Tuesday. He needs some game time as well."
Warburton missed six weeks at the end of the domestic season with a knee injury, while in October 2016 he suffered a fractured cheekbone that put him out for three weeks.
The Cardiff Blues player, 28, has had several serious shoulder injuries during his career and also missed the deciding Lions Test against Australia in 2013 with a torn hamstring.
Forwards coach Graham Rowntree has admitted the Lions have discussed contingency plans for the captaincy, just in case Warburton is not ready to start the first Test against the All Blacks on 24 June.
"There's a few candidates who we spoke about initially when we were talking about captaincy, so there's some other guys we could call upon," said Rowntree.
"Of course we've spoken about that, and the potential of that happening.
"But luckily we've picked some good leaders in this tour squad, good leaders."
Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones, Ireland skipper Rory Best and Greig Laidlaw, Scotland's captain, are all in the squad, while Wales hooker Ken Owens skippered the Lions in their 22-16 loss to the Blues and all would be candidates if Warburton suffers complications.
Warburton also led the Lions in the successful tour to Australia in 2013.
Bears feast and gain weight in the warm months, ready for the big winter doze.
In faecal samples from 16 wild bears, scientists found a bug population that was more suited to depositing fat in summer, and burning it in winter.
And when transplanted into lab mice, the "summer" bacteria caused greater fat gain than the "winter" ones.
The research is published in the journal Cell Reports.
Senior author Fredrik Bäckhed, from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said it was not a huge surprise to see gut flora change with the seasons - but this is the first time anyone has revealed a role for these different bugs in the energy metabolism of a hibernating animal.
"We know that the microbiota is very responsive to what we eat," he told BBC News.
"So if a bear eats a lot in the summer and it doesn't eat in the winter, then there should be an altered microbiota. What we learn from our study is that it appears that the altered microbiome can contribute to the altered adiposity (fattiness)."
Despite this insight, Prof Bäckhed said his team's findings were not going to help tackle human obesity.
"I don't think that this study will have direct implications for obesity, as the summer microbiota will make you fat and the winter insulin resistant.
"But perhaps we can find clues for treating malnutrition from the summer bacteria, and help patients with anorexic disorders - including cancer patients."
To collect the samples, the researchers worked with the team from the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project, who specialise in monitoring the creatures in the wild.
And specialist expertise was required; it is no small undertaking to wake up a hibernating bear and take a sample of its faeces.
"They go out in the forest in the winter, they identify a bear den and then they shoot it with a tranquiliser to get some samples," Prof Bäckhed said. "Then they put on a radio collar, and release the bear so it goes back to sleep and wakes up in the spring."
The radio collars were critical, he added, because it allowed the team to track down the same bears in the summer and compare the seasonal stomach bacteria of individual animals.
As well as discovering obvious changes in each bear's roster of bacterial species - which were similar to shifts already seen in studies of squirrels and hamsters - the researchers tested the effect of the bugs in "germ-free" mice.
"These are mice that are born and raised in a bubble, where they have never been exposed to any bacteria," Prof Bäckhed explained.
So when researchers transfer foreign microbes into the mice, they know that introduced bugs are the only ones present.
"What we found was that if we colonised the mice with the summer bear microbiota, the mice gained more adiposity compared to if the mouse was colonised with faeces from the same bear in the winter."
Strikingly, just like the bears themselves when they fatten up every year, the mice with summer-bear bacteria remained "metabolically healthy".
"Although they gained more fat mass, it didn't impair their glucose tolerance," said Prof Bäckhed.
In other words the insulin system, which regulates the body's use of blood sugar and causes diabetes if it goes haywire, was still in working order.
The bugs in the belly of a bear, then, appear to be part of the reason why these large animals can get even larger on an annual basis - without suffering in the way that humans do if we indulge our own predilection for a prolonged, winter-time feast.

The special test is an event in its own right but also a qualifier for the showpiece freestyle test, set to music.
Dujardin scored 86.120%, well clear of Germany's Helen Langehanenberg who recorded 84.468% for second.
"It was a great ride. I had no team members to worry about, I thought I'd just go for everything," said Dujardin.
Dujardin and Valegro had already been instrumental in securing Britain team silver in Normandy on Tuesday, which also guarantees Britain's place at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Their score in Wednesday's special was the highest ever achieved by a horse and rider in that event at a World Equestrian Games - despite a bowel movement from Valegro mid-routine.
"I made three expensive mistakes - he needed to go to the toilet at the wrong time," admitted Dujardin, 29.
"That does happen but it's a bit easier if you're cantering or doing something else, not walking and trying to go into piaffe. That's not the easiest move - it was just unfortunate.
"The crowd were very hard to deal with. All I could hear were gasps, whether I did a good thing or a bad thing. I could hear the crowd the whole time in my head and it was very hard to concentrate."
Fellow British rider Carl Hester and Nip Tuck, an inexperienced horse making large strides in terms of performance, will join Dujardin in Friday's freestyle having finished 12th, as will Michael Eilberg and Half Moon Delphi in 13th.
"I love the freestyle and absolutely love my new music. I'm hoping I can pull it off here," Dujardin told BBC Sport.
After a bright start from the hosts, Mark Hughes' side dominated possession and Walters turned home Phil Bardsley's right-wing cross.
After Marko Arnautovic's goal was ruled out for offside, Joselu lobbed Heurelho Gomes after his poor clearance.
The Hornets struggled to create chances throughout but Troy Deeney scored a close-range header late on.
The victory moves Stoke up up seventh above Liverpool and Southampton, while Watford remain 14th on 37 points.

Relive the action from Vicarage Road.
Much has been made of the change of style in Stoke's play since Mark Hughes took charge and nowhere was that more evident than with the opening goal.
Walters rounded off a superb 13-pass move at the back post in which eight different players touched the ball, which was worked from the edge of their own area.
Walters was a constant threat along with overlapping right-back Bardsley, with Ibrahim Afellay also tending to drift over to the right side in his free role as the Potters focused their attacks down that flank.
Without both Xherdan Shaqiri and Bojan Krkic, Hughes' men continued to impress and have now won four of their last six games to move within five points of the top four places.
"I spoke to Jonathan earlier in the week and told him he was playing," said Stoke boss Hughes.
"You could tell from the start that he was focused and ready to make an impact - he's not been playing for the last few weeks but he came in to good effect."
Despite securing a place in the FA Cup semi-finals last week by winning at Arsenal, Watford will be concerned at their league form so far in 2016.
The Hornets have lost their last three Premier League games and have only two wins from their last 13 matches.
Sitting on 37 points, 12 above the relegation places, their future looks pretty secure for next season, but they will not want their campaign to peter out with the prospect of a semi-final at Wembley on the horizon.
Problems stem from the reliance on the pairing of Deeney and strike partner Odion Ighalo for goals.
Captain Deeney's header was his ninth in the league this season, while Nigerian top scorer Ighalo has 14 - after that, Watford have five players who have scored one league goal. So if the Hornets' main men do not score, they tend not to.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "It got a little bit frenetic at the end and not the control we had for the most part, but in the end we got the job done. It was a great finish from Joselu as he hasn't had too many opportunities.
"We're just going to see how far we can go. We've got to take games to the opposition like we did today and be confident in our own ability - I sometimes think we don't know how good we are in full flow.
"We're not comfortable with the status quo and we want to keep on driving."

Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores: "I think they had more intensity energy, velocity and focus on the match than our team did. We didn't play like a team in the first half, so we have problems.
"We didn't create a lot of chances, but maybe in the last 20 minutes when we played a bit better. We're not happy with the match, we started slow and didn't play how our team usually plays.
"We are not worried about the future of the team in the Premier League but we want to achieve 40 points as soon as possible."
Both teams have a two-week break because of the international games. Watford will return to Emirates Stadium three weeks after knocking out Arsenal out of the FA Cup, while Stoke will look to continue their push for Europe when they host Swansea.

The Accounts Commission said nearly every council in the country had cut the amount spent on street cleaning in recent years.
In many cases this has also led to a drop in cleanliness.
The figures are contained in the local government spending watchdog's wide-ranging annual review of Scotland's 32 councils.
The annual review sets out the financial challenges facing the authorities.
In its 2017 report, the Accounts Commission outlined a decline in real terms in Scottish government funding - the government gives a typical council around 60p of every pound in its budget.
At the same time, the overview said pressure on services continued to increase. It argued this was particularly true in social care and education which together account for more than 70% of council spending.
The report said councils overall have maintained or improved their performance in the face of these challenges. But public satisfaction is declining and complaints are increasing.
Since 2010, councils have faced a 9.2% reduction in their revenue funding from the Scottish government.
The commission noted that many councils have cut staff numbers to save money but that many do not have actual workforce plans.
Since 2011, the number of people working for councils, expressed as a full-time equivalent, fell from 213,200 to 198,100.
A section on street cleansing highlighted one key area of council performance.
Between 2010 and 2015, all but four of Scotland's 32 councils cut the amount they spent on street cleaning.
The commission said the streets were less clean in 20 council areas.
The biggest drop in cleanliness cited by the commission was in Aberdeen - though a few councils, including Shetland, Angus and Moray, were able to reduce spending and improve cleanliness.
Aberdeen City Council defended its service, telling the BBC: "Additional staff have been brought in to be part of a City Centre Masterplan Hit Squad which targets areas for painting, graffiti removal, cleaning and chewing gum removal.
"The street sweeping service has been working to the budgets allocated, and is currently being reshaped and redesigned to face the challenges ahead. Staff will continue to work to reach the standards set by the city council's communities, housing and infrastructure committee."
On local services more broadly, the Accounts Commission noted that some councils were able to find new ways to provide services more efficiently, but others had not.
It said: "There are wide variations between councils. Some have grasped the nettle in finding new ways to provide services more efficiently.
"Others have been slower off the mark. Councils have made savings by cutting jobs but half of them still don't have organisation-wide workforce plans.
"Councils must learn more from each other and collaborate better to improve services and reduce costs."
It also said councillors elected in May must have the necessary training and tools to do an increasingly complex job determining local priorities.
Ronnie Hinds, deputy chair of the Accounts Commission, said: "New councillors will require time to settle in and develop skills to make strategic plans, consider options for service delivery and scrutinise how well this is happening in practice.
"But they have four years ahead of them, and they need to plan effectively for the longer term, work with their communities to decide key priorities and then make that plan happen.
"We hope our report is helpful to councillors and officers as they strive to maintain or improve services for the public with reduced resources."
Cosla, which represents most councils, said the commission was "100% right" that new councillors would face big challenges.
The organisation said the issue of street cleaning illustrated the challenges of prioritising services in the face of budget reductions.
Cosla president David O'Neill said: "Despite challenging financial circumstances councils continue to prioritise spend in frontline services and the vast majority of productivity, output and outcome measures within councils have improved."
He added: "I think it is a fair criticism in relation to better involvement of communities and hopefully this is something that we can build on positively post the May local government elections.
"However, it is missing a crucial point to suggest that the responsibility for this lies solely with local government.
"To realise true efficiencies and have much greater public involvement we need to look more broadly with joined up longer term planning across the whole of the public sector because it is that which will make the real difference to both individuals and communities."
The 530ft (162m) i360 tower is being built with help from Brighton and Hove City Council, which lent £36.2m to the £46.2m project.
A ground breaking ceremony took place at the site on Tuesday.
The architect behind the project, David Marks, called the tower the "son of the London Eye".
"Everyone knows and recognises the huge contribution [made by the London Eye], not just to the Southbank but to the whole of London and the tourist economy," he said.
"This is going to do something very similar here in Brighton, so there's a lot of good reasons to do it."
However, Roger Hinton, from the Regency Society, said many people feel the estimate of how many will use the tower is "ambitious".
"A lot of people in the city feel there's an element of risk there," he said.
The council will receive 1% of ticket sales and more than £1m per year in interest on the loan plus business rates.
Work to remove the remains of the West Pier and its columns from the beach to make way for the i360 tower were largely completed in June.
Mr Trump called Betsy DeVos - the second woman appointed so far to his cabinet - "a brilliant and passionate education advocate".
She shunned him during the election race, donating money to his rivals.
Mr Trump also named another former critic, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, as US ambassador to the UN.
Both appointments need to be confirmed by the US Senate.
The incoming president said of Mrs DeVos in a statement: "Under her leadership we will reform the US education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families."
The announcement comes four days after a meeting at Mr Trump's golf club in New Jersey between Mrs DeVos, the president-elect and Mike Pence, the vice president-elect.
Mrs DeVos, a former chairwoman of the Michigan Republican party, said she was honoured to accept the appointment.
"Together, we can work to make transformational change to ensure every student has the opportunity to fulfil his or her highest potential," she tweeted.
However, in an interview last March she said of Mr Trump: "I don't think he represents the Republican party. I think he is an interloper."
She also contributed to the election campaigns of the Manhattan tycoon's presidential rivals, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush.
Mrs DeVos is an advocate of Republican-favoured charter schools, which are publicly funded and set up - outside the state school system - by teachers, parents, or community groups.
But she also previously supported the Common Core education standards that Mr Trump and many conservatives have pilloried.
Mr Trump has vowed to eliminate Common Core, a federal maths and reading syllabus set up in most states, calling the programme a "disaster".
During the primary campaign he even suggested abolishing the Department of Education altogether, saying that education "has to be local".
Opponents of Common Core assert that is a "top-down" takeover of state and local education systems by the federal government.
Mrs DeVos' husband, Dick DeVos, is one of the wealthiest people in the state of Michigan, and ran for state governor in 2006.
Forbes Magazine estimates his family fortune to be $5.1bn (£4.1bn) which Mr DeVos' father made after co-founding Amway, a direct-selling company.
Mrs DeVos' brother, Erik Prince, founded the private security firm Blackwater USA.
The Iron's 2-0 loss to lowly Boreham Wood left them seventh, but with a game in hand over fifth-placed Dover.
"You have to remember we're Braintree Town. Look at the clubs around us, the infrastructure, the size, the fact that they're full-time," he said.
"I see what the boys have done thus far as being a football miracle."
Tuesday's loss to the Wood came after a run of three wins from four for a side that also took League Two promotion hopefuls Oxford to an FA Cup first-round replay this season.
Cowley, who took charge in the summer, has previously criticised the scheduling of National League matches.
He continued to BBC Essex: "We've got ourselves in a great position and given ourselves a foundation and we'll work very hard and see where it takes us.
"But I don't see the play-offs as being a reality, not for this football club. That's not to say we won't be trying very hard to be in and around it, but I always think there has to be a touch of realism."
The Cod Army's first away defeat since November left them seven points adrift of second-placed Bolton with only four games to play, but the result was also a huge lift for Oldham's survival hopes.
Oldham's Lee Erwin missed a golden early chance, somehow firing over from three yards as he stretched for Aaron Holloway's deft touch.
But the home side broke through on 25 minutes when Paul Green crossed from the right and visiting defender Nathan Pond could only slice the ball past his own keeper at the near post.
It was almost 2-0 after 40 minutes as Ollie Banks hit a dipping free-kick which was well saved by Alex Cairns.
David Ball went close for Fleetwood, but Erwin deservedly scored 10 minutes after the break with a fine 12-yard volley from Holloway's assist.
Bobby Grant miscued a rare chance for Fleetwood before Oldham sub Michael Ngoo tested Cairns from the edge of the box as Fleetwood succumbed to a second loss in three matches.
Report supplied by the Press Association.
Albion broke the deadlock through Duffy's smart finish before Wes Burns' right-footed strike levelled the scores for Fleetowood against the run of play.
But the Brewers' pressure told as Duffy curled in from outside the box for his seventh goal of the season.
And Fleetwood's task was made more difficult by substitute Robert Grant's red card for violent conduct.
The result extends Burton's lead at the top of League One to six points after Wigan drew 3-3 at Colchester.
Eoin Morgan's team completed a 3-0 series victory over Sri Lanka with a 122-run win at Cardiff on Saturday.
Since a miserable World Cup in 2015, they have won three of their five ODI series, losing only to world champions Australia and South Africa, both 3-2.
"This is the best England ODI side I have seen us have by a country mile," Vaughan tweeted.
The ex-Yorkshire batsman, who won 86 ODI caps between 2001 and 2007, added: "This side are fantastic to watch - they have options, combinations, power, mystery, a great attitude and genuine world-class players."
England's limited-overs teams have been transformed under coach Trevor Bayliss, reaching the final of the World T20 this year.
Since being eliminated at the group stage of the last 50-over World Cup, they have consistently posted scores in excess of 300 - even topping 400 against New Zealand last summer.
Against Sri Lanka, five batsmen finish the series scoring at more than a run a ball, with only one - Jonny Bairstow (89) - having a strike-rate below 90.
Test Match Special analyst Simon Hughes says England "dominated" the 2011 World Cup finalists with a "ruthless brand of cricket".
"Their fielding has been slick, their bowling has been efficient, their batting has been deep," said Hughes. "Their depth, their range, their ability has been excellent."
They will include Aberfeldy-based furniture maker Angus Ross, Edinburgh designer Jennifer Gray and Fife-based creative studio Tom Pigeon.
Others taking part will be Linlithgow's Method Studio, Glasgow's Scotland Re:Designed and Scottish silversmiths.
National body, Craft Scotland, has arranged a showcase event for Ross and Gray.
Ross' products included the Unstable Stool, which is made from a single length of wood which is steamed and then bent into shape. The design was shortlisted for The Wood Awards in 2009.
Gray's jewellery has included a bracelet made to mark 20 years since the creation of Dolly the Sheep, a cloned sheep created at the Roslin Institute just outside Edinburgh.
Nicola Jones, who has learning difficulties, sustained full thickness burns to 40% of her body and was left without any flesh on her ankles.
The 32-year old was being cared for at the Real Life Options centre in Bathgate, West Lothian, in August 2013.
The company admitted breaching health and safety laws.
Support worker Sharon Dunlop, 41, from West Lothian, who had failed to check the water temperature, pleaded guilty last month at Livingstone Sheriff Court to breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act.
During sentencing on Thursday she was made the subject of a community payback order and told to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work.
Sheriff Peter Hammond told her: "Unknown to you because of a technical fault in the water system the water flowing into the bath was scalding hot, but you failed to check the temperature of the water and when Nicola Jones stepped into the bath she was unable to communicate the nature of the emergency."
The sheriff said it had appeared to have been an "isolated error" but said it was a "serious and reprehensible" breach of duty of care.
Solicitor advocate Raymond McMenamin, defending, said his client, who has no previous convictions, had found the consequences "deeply upsetting".
"This was a single error, albeit a tragic one, there was no malice or intent to injure," he added.
A Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found no risk assessment was in place at the venue at the time for the risk of exposure to scalding water.
It issued two improvement notices following the incident addressing this and the company has since complied, the court heard.
Solicitor advocate John McGovern, defending, said there was nothing he could say to detract from the "terrible and tragic nature of this incident", but said the company has apologised to Ms Jones and her family.
The sheriff said it had been a "serious failing" on the company's part but in determining sentence he said he took into account its "exemplary" record and the fact it was a not-for-profit organisation.
Speaking outside court after sentencing, HSE inspector Hazel Dobb said: "The injuries sustained by Nicola Jones were easily preventable by the simple act of checking the water temperature before she entered.
"Employers should ensure that their staff are provided with a thermometer and training in the safety aspects of bathing or showering people for whom they provide personal care.
"Thermostatic mixing valves that reduce the maximum temperature of the water at the tap have reduced the number of accidents such as this and are a requirement in registered care homes.
"However, they are no replacement for a physical check of the water temperature. I would also urge anyone with an immersion heater to check that it has a secondary thermostatic cut-out to prevent the hot tank boiling if it fails."

They will no longer play the Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, on Sunday and a show at the AFG Arena in St Gallen, Switzerland, on Monday.
A statement said the full extent of his injuries were yet to be determined.
They are yet to say whether two Wembley shows will go ahead on 19 and 20 June.
The band were two songs into their set at the Ullevi stadium when Grohl went to jump on a ramp but missed and fell into the security area.
"I think I just broke my leg," the singer told the crowd as he lay on the ground.
"I'm going to go to hospital. I'm going to fix my leg. And then I'm going to come back."
He added: "You have my promise right now that the Foo Fighters - we're going to come back and finish the show."
Eyewitnesses told the BBC the band continued the concert, playing cover versions whilst Grohl sought medical attention.
Keiron Brennan 43, from London, filmed the moments just after the 46-year-old frontman toppled from the stage.
He said: "We were only around 200 yards away and at first we thought it was a prank but then it became apparent that it was quite serious. The drummer went ashen and jumped down to see where he was. Everyone was worried as we were only two songs into the gig and we couldn't see what had happened to him.
"He reappeared after an hour to continue the concert, sitting in a chair with his leg bandaged.
"It was surreal to see him perform on stage with a medic holding his leg. The crowd was just amazed that he was carrying on. He was just phenomenal. I can't see how he will make the next gig in Holland but then he's more of a man than I am so I wouldn't put it past him," he added.
Grohl fell at 21:00 local time (20:00 BST) and went on to perform for another two-and-a-half hours.
His band later tweeted a picture of what appears to be an x-ray of his leg.
The Foo Fighters were due to play their next concert on Sunday at the Pinkpop festival, followed by two dates at Wembley Stadium and then a headline set at the Glastonbury Festival on 26 June.
A statement on the Wembley website said: "We are aware of the incident last night involving Dave Grohl and are in contact with the event organisers, who at this stage have no further information.
"As soon as we have news from the artiste this will be made public."
This year has seen several musicians injured on stage.
Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine broke her foot leaping off stage at the Coachella Music Festival in April, while U2 guitarist The Edge misjudged his step and fell off the stage during the opening night of the band's Innocence and Experience tour.

Initially its service will be offered in Manchester, Berkshire and parts of Hampshire and Surrey.
It will offer speeds of up to 76Mbps (megabits per second), with prices ranging from £5 a month to £25.
One expert said that rivals should not be "overly concerned" about the new entrant.
Vodafone acquired the assets of Cable and Wireless in 2012 and that will form the backbone of its home broadband network.
The nationwide fibre-optic network already reaches telephone exchanges that pass nearly 20 million premises across the UK
Over the next few weeks, Essex, Hertfordshire and Yorkshire will be added to the network, with the national rollout due later in the summer.
Existing Vodafone customers can get broadband at a discount rate for the first year - a 17Mbps contract would initially cost £2.50 per month, rising to £5 after 12 months.
Customers wanting the super-fast 76Mps service would pay £10 for the first 12 months.
For non-Vodafone customers, the Vodafone Connect service will be offered in various packages:
Cindy Rose, consumer director at Vodafone, said: As the only operator in the UK which owns both a fixed and mobile network, we're in a great position to create innovative products and services that give our existing customers reasons to stay with us and new customers reasons to switch."
But Paulo Pescatore, an analyst with research firm CCS Insight, said that "rivals should not be overly concerned, for now".
He added that the firm will need to "clearly articulate benefits and features" if it wanted to succeed in a highly competitive market.
More firms are looking to join up broadband and mobile services and, in February, BT announced that it was to buy mobile firm EE.
Jason Waterman "arrived without warning, dripping salt water and carrying a bag of wet clothing".
The 32-year-old, originally from Watford, handed himself in late on Monday.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is now attempting to extradite him under a European arrest warrant.
The NCA said: "He refused to say how he reached Gibraltar, only that it wasn't through the frontier."
Mr Waterman, whose nicknames include Jugs and Jumbo, was wanted in connection with a drug trafficking investigation.
Border police found 7kg (15lb) of cocaine, with a potential street value of £1.2m, at Bagby Airfield in October 2015.
The discovery was made shortly after a light aircraft arrived from the Netherlands. The plane's pilot was arrested but later found not guilty of importation offences.
Brian Shaw, NCA North East operations manager, said: "It might sound like a cushy number, sitting around watching Crimewatch Roadshow on a Monday morning, but life as a fugitive is hard and stressful.
"The NCA first issued an appeal for Waterman in London nearly a year ago. Clearly something about the new appeal made him crack.
"To everyone else feeling the stress of being on the run, I would say we are patient people, we keep the pressure on, and we never stop looking for you."

Presented by David Munrow, the fondly-remembered show covered everything from medieval music to prog rock.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Radio 3 controller Alan Davey said he was keen to commission a modern version.
"Young people are Âgrowing up with an open mind about various kinds of quite Âcomplex music," he said.
"It's not classical music, but it's not pop music, either. The step into classical music would be quite easy for them if they were to encounter it in the right way."
Davey took over from Roger Wright in January, and has been listening to archive tapes of Pied Piper, which ran for 655 episodes between 1971 and 1976.
Although the programme was predominantly aimed at children - and was used in school music lessons - Munrow's enthusiasm for music infected people of all ages.
But the series ended suddenly when he died at the age of 33.
A modern version would not be able to run a week-long series on the Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos, as Pied Piper did, Davey admitted, with radio increasingly having to compete with TV, mobile phones and social media for young people's attention.
Alluding to this he told the Sunday Times: "Keynes [the economist] wanted to set up the Arts Council in 1946 as a bulwark against American movie culture. But American movie culture is pretty good, and it's become an art form in itself.
"What Keynes didn't anticipate was the proliferation of the possibilities for people, and the real implication of leisure time and the possibilities there."
In a wide-ranging interview, Davey also noted that changes had been made to Radio 3's breakfast programme - notably by dropping calls from listeners, which have proved contentious with some members of the audience.
Presenters will no longer read the news headlines during the show, although the half-hourly bulletins and summaries from the BBC newsroom remain.
"It is to give the presenters more chances to present the music," Davey explained.
"We will still have hour and half-hour bulletins - people are saying they still need some kind of pointer in the mornings."
The changes, although subtle, will please critics who felt the station was being "dumbed down" as it sought to engage audience interaction, with some branding it "Radio 2.5".
They also coincide with a recent BBC Trust report, which said Radio 3 must make sure it is "distinct" from rival stations like Classic FM.
"While Radio 3 overall is a distinctive station, in terms of its approach to classical music and mix of other programming, there are some parts of the schedule where similarities exist," the BBC's watchdog said.
"Radio 3 should seek to increase choice for radio listeners by minimising any programmes and features that are similar to Classic FM's. It should focus on its strengths, by maximising its distinctiveness across its whole output, without sacrificing the combination of expertise and accessibility that has been achieved in recent years."
Mr Davey said that, under his stewardship, the station would not be "chasing ratings".
"If you concentrate on doing the best you can do and offering quality day in and day out, people do find you and they do appreciate it."
In a seven to three ruling, the court banned federal and civil police officers as well as firefighters from going on strike.
Members of the military police were already banned from stopping work.
A stoppage in eastern Espirito Santo state caused chaos in February, with schools closing and public transport suspended as the murder rate shot up.
Police strikes are not uncommon in Brazil and have in the past created problems in major cities such as Rio and Sao Paulo as well as the state of Bahia.
The judges said that anyone working directly in the area of public security had no right to go on strike "in any form or manner" because they carried out "an essential activity for the safeguarding of the public order".
They argued that work stoppages by security personnel "promoted anarchy, which is not allowed under the constitution".
Shortly after the ruling, the union representing federal police officers said its members had voted for nationwide industrial action over a social welfare reform bill.
Union leader Luis Boudens said his members would come up with actions other than stoppages to protest against the bill, such as symbolically handing in their duty weapons and bullet-proof vests.
In February, hundreds of federal police officers and soldiers were deployed to Espirito Santo after the murder rate jumped up during a strike by military and civil police officers over pay and working conditions.
Because military police were already banned under the constitution from going on strike, hundreds of those involved were threatened with charges of rebellion.
A deal was eventually reached and the officers returned to work after three weeks of stoppage.

Cook's men made 629-6 declared in their first innings, but then dropped eight chances in Cape Town and had to bat out the final day to make the game safe.
"If we'd taken those chances in the field I think we'd be talking about a different game," said Cook.
"Some were very difficult, maybe 10%. Others, we'd expect to take."
The draw means Cook's team retained a 1-0 series lead with two matches remaining.
He said: "You can't put down seven or eight chances, so we'll work hard in training after a couple of days off.
"These things happen. No-one plays a perfect game and no-one expects to drop a catch."
The dropped chances contributed to an uncomfortable final day for England.
With South Africa able to declare on 627-7 late on day four, the tourists were required survive the final day in order to avoid an unlikely defeat.
They slipped to 116-6 midway through the afternoon session, but were taken to safety by Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali.
"It's amazing," said Cook. "That's why everyone loves Test cricket.
"Full credit to South Africa for the way they batted under pressure, but we can also take a lot from this game.
"We were the team pushing for most of the game, putting South Africa under pressure."
England were propelled to their huge first-innings total by Ben Stokes' 198-ball 258, the second-fastest double century in Test history.
"It was a pleasure to watch, one of those you don't ever want to end," said Cook. "It was frighteningly good. Not many in the world have the ability to do that, so it's great that he's in our side.
"I don't think it's a one-off. I'm not saying it will happen every time he goes out to bat, but he will play innings that win matches for England."
The first incident took place on Saughton Road North on Monday, when a man attempted to rob a teenage girl of her phone.
The second occurred on Saughton Mains Terrace on Tuesday, when an elderly woman was assaulted and robbed of her handbag.
He was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
Manchester City beat my team Chelsea to the Women's Super League title with a 2-0 victory over us last Sunday, then Sam Allardyce lost his job as England men's manager on Tuesday - but in neither case is it all doom and gloom.
In previous columns I have spoken a lot about how much it meant to me to win the league and FA Cup double last year and make history with Chelsea, so to have lost both trophies to our closest rivals City and Arsenal respectively this season is really tough to take.
City are unbeaten in the league this season and I have to congratulate them for their consistency - they have been rewarded for keeping clean sheets in what is a short WSL season of 16 games.
Last season we won the league with the best defence and City are deserved champions this season after conceding only three goals in 15 matches so far, so it shows a strong defensive record is key to a title win.
Much has been written about the resources at City's disposal but I don't think investing heavily in facilities or players is necessarily a guarantee for success in the WSL.
Last season we were getting changed out of a small boot room while our new changing room was being built - and we still finished as champions. The improvement of modern facilities is important but ultimately it is about hard work and team performance on the pitch.
Retaining the title is also not a guarantee and City will now find out how hard that is. City won the Continental Cup in 2014 and lost it in 2015, Arsenal won the FA Cup in 2014 and lost it to us in 2015, then we lost it this year.
There have been three different league winners over the past three seasons, and it's a sign that the WSL is continuously growing in competitiveness, with teams becoming tactically more astute.
We've had to work hard to compete against sides who have sat deep in defence and then broken forward on the counter-attack, a tactic that is becoming more common across European women's football and particularly in the WSL.
Sweden, for example, reached the Olympic final by taking this approach. Staying in matches and hoping for extra-time or penalties might not be pretty but it can lead to success. At Euro 2016, Portugal's men also put this into practice to great effect.
You may also have seen that City's title win reached the front page of the Guardian newspaper, which was another huge step forward for the development of the women's game in England.
Of course, it wasn't the headline I wanted to read but I am humble enough to take a wider view and see how it is a positive for women's football, which is something I've also done with this season.
Two years ago we missed out on the title and I was devastated, but this season I'm a lot more pragmatic. I can accept that City were more consistent than Chelsea and the challenge is for us to improve on that aspect next season and knock them off their perch.
One thing I know is that Chelsea know how to successfully bounce back from losing the title, and we will be hungrier next season.
Off the pitch it has been a desperately disappointing week for English football as England manager Allardyce lost his job after one game in charge.
From my experience as an England player with 102 caps and 11 years representing my country, I know how important the values of integrity are to the Football Association and the expectation that those values need to be reflected in its players, leaders and managers.
My mum always used to tell me when I was younger that "to whom much is given, much is expected". For those of us that have had the privilege to represent England as players or lead the England team as managers, we have a responsibility to act and represent the England badge with the upmost character, professionalism and integrity.
Character and integrity are big words that are often used freely in hashtags on social media or glossy presentations but it's much more difficult to bring them to life and see those values acted out.
The FA are the custodians of the game - they set the standards of behaviour of football in this country - and anyone who falls below those standards should not have the privilege of representing the country, whoever you are.
The FA should be applauded for acting swiftly to uphold those values and standards of behaviour despite arriving at what must have been a very difficult decision.
English football may have hit its lowest point but the only way can be up from here and it gives the FA an opportunity to be diligent about the next manager and build from that.
I also hope there will be greater financial regulation in the area of football transfers as no-one wants to see the continuation of corruption in our game.
I'd like to see the FA select the best person for the England job, regardless of nationality.
If England want to have the best chance of winning, pick the best available manager who can bring success to England. I hope Gareth Southgate and England are successful for the next four matches he is in charge.
One of the great things about football is that you always have another challenge ahead to redeem yourself and, following the disappointment of last Sunday, we now get to test ourselves in the first leg of our Champions League tie against Wolfsburg on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.
It is the second successive season we have taken on the German side, who reached the final last year after beating us 4-1 on aggregate in the last 16.
On that occasion, we weren't helped by the WSL season finishing a month before the game, but, with the domestic campaign still ongoing, we will be in a better position to do ourselves justice against the two-time champions.
There have still been gaps of four or five weeks between domestic games this term, so I'm not sure how that will affect us, but we are certainly better prepared, fresher and more match sharp than last year.
It's all or nothing in the Champions League and we need to be ready from the first whistle. We learned the lesson that conceding at home can be very costly, so we will be focused on performing to our best in front of our fans and keeping a clean sheet at home.
England and Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko was speaking to BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan.
The weather phenomenon, which is similar to a tornado, could be seen swirling off the coast around Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.
Jackie Butler, of Leiston, watched the waterspout while walking her dogs on Sizewell beach on Saturday evening.
"All of a sudden we could see there was a spout coming down into the water," she said.
"It literally drew the water up into itself and continued for 30 minutes and then stopped. As we stood and watched it, it reformed again.
"It was amazing, absolutely amazing."
Meteorologist and BBC Look East weather forecaster Dan Holley said: "Essentially a waterspout is just a tornado but over water.
"Both begin life as a funnel cloud - a rotating column of air underneath a shower or thunderstorm - which, once it's extended to the ground becomes a tornado if it's on land, or named a waterspout if over water.
"On Saturday we had a line of wind convergence where northwesterly winds inland met an easterly sea breeze from the North Sea.
"Where the two opposing winds meet, the air gets forced upwards to create showers, and with a little spin can occasionally create funnel clouds."
He told the Defence Select Committee "air strikes alone" would not destroy IS but could reduce its ability to attack the UK.
The Cabinet has endorsed the PM's plan to debate and vote extending air strikes into Syria on Wednesday.
Labour wanted a two-day debate and has called the plans a "rush to war".
David Cameron urged MPs of all parties to back his case for intervention.
The government has published the motion to be voted on, which says military action is "only one component of a broader strategy" to tackle IS.
It says the UK government will not deploy troops in "ground combat operations". The motion would specifically authorise air strikes "exclusively" against IS in Syria.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is against military intervention but offered his party a free vote on the question after opposition from within his shadow cabinet, many of whom are thought to back Mr Cameron's case for bombing in Syria.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show, he appealed to his frontbenchers to "think again" and "think about the consequences and implications".
Ministers had said they would only call a vote when certain they would win.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said it looked as though Mr Cameron would secure a "fairly commanding majority" with a potential single-figure Conservative rebellion offset by the DUP and at least 50 Labour MPs who support air strikes.
In his appearance before MPs, Mr Fallon defended claims that 70,000 moderate opposition ground forces were on the ground in Syria.
In a country of 20 million people, it would be surprising if there were not this many he said, saying the 70,000 figure was the estimate of the Joint Intelligence Committee.
This figure "deliberately excludes those who are on the extreme side of this fight", he added.
Sitting alongside Mr Fallon, Lieutenant General Gordon Messenger, the deputy chief of the defence staff (Operations), was asked about the ground forces available, saying: "I don't think we should dismiss them, but nor should we try and invent some coherence where it doesn't exist."
He also cited an estimate of the fighting force of IS as between 20,000 and 30,000, adding that this "comes with considerable conditionality".
MPs rejected air strikes against Syrian government targets in 2013, but have since backed strikes against IS in Iraq.
Ministers say it is "illogical" to carry out strikes in Iraq but not Syria as IS does not recognise the border between the countries.
Wednesday's entire parliamentary schedule - including Prime Minister's Questions - will be cleared to make way for the debate.
But Labour has accused the government of a "rush to war" by rejecting calls for a two-day debate.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: "By refusing a full two-day debate, David Cameron is demonstrating he knows the debate is running away from him, and that the case he made last week is falling apart."
"The prime minister should stop the rush to war to allow for a full discussion of the issues in Parliament.
"Matters of national security are far too important to be bulldozed through the House of Commons for political convenience."
Mr Cameron has said there would be "the equivalent number of questions we would often have across a two-day debate in one day."
He added: "I want MPs to be able to have full consideration, to make speeches, to make points, to ask me questions, to examine the government's case."
The prime minister said the vote would be held to "answer the call" from the UK's allies, because IS "is a threat to our country and this is the right thing to do".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Benn agreed, saying he had reached the decision to support air strikes "because of the threat to our citizens and others".
He defended Labour's approach to the question, saying "people of conscience have reached different views about what the right thing to do is", and insisted he had not been planning to resign if he had been instructed to vote with Mr Corbyn.
Mr Benn said he would "argue my case from the despatch box tomorrow in a serious way".
Labour MPs are reported to have criticised Mr Corbyn's tactics during a lively meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday night, with former Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said to have accused him of trying to divide the party.
Speaking afterwards, shadow energy minister Clive Lewis, an ally of the leader, said: "If there are members of the PLP that want to bomb Syria and join with the Tories then on their heads be it. I respect that decision in the sense that they've come to the decision they have."
He warned that if the war "extends with no ends" the party would be looking at who voted in favour of action and "when the blame is apportioned, step forward".
One Tory rebel, senior backbencher David Davis, said moderate ground forces referred to by Mr Cameron were "disparate people, not an army".
He said US air forces were only carrying out seven strikes each day "because they've not got the targets - they've not got the troops on the ground to find the targets".
Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson questioned the 70,000 figure in a letter to Mr Cameron, calling for a detailed explanation of how the figure was compiled.
Mr Watson also requested a "timeline for peace", saying many MPs were "yet to be convinced" that a "meaningful political process" is in place to pull together different groups to secure peace.
The UK Parliament's third largest party, the SNP, had also called for a debate over two days. It opposes bombing IS in Syria, while the Liberal Democrats, with eight MPs, have yet to say how they will vote.
Fernando Torres rescued Chelsea from the humiliation of an FA Cup exit after their midweek Capital One Cup semi-final elimination against Swansea City with a late equaliser in the 2-2 draw.
FA Cup holders Chelsea are unbeaten in 25 FA Cup matches (W20, D5), and have lost only one of their last 36 in the regulation 90 minutes
Benitez was the target for loud abuse from Chelsea's angry travelling support as he walked off at half-time with his team 1-0 down - then heard chants of "You Don't Know What You're Doing" when he sent on defender Cesar Azpilicueta ahead of striker Demba Ba with his side 2-1 down.
"I have said before that I am just concentrating on my job. I try to stay really focused and I can guarantee Juan Mata changed the game when he came on," he said.
"The club said they wanted a manager with experience and I will try to do my job."
Benitez does not expect to make any more signings before Thursday's transfer deadline and insisted he believes Eden Hazard's three-game ban for the incident involving a ball boy at Swansea City is sufficient.

He said: "In the first half we didn't do what we had to do. We made too many mistakes, but I was really pleased with the reaction of the team after that. We showed quality and character."
Chelsea appeared to be denied a clear penalty in stoppage time when Harlee Dean handled Mata's shot and Benitez said: "We were really disappointed with that not being given.
"It was very, very clear but it is also very, very clear we didn't perform in the first half. We were much better after that."
Brentford manager Uwe Rosler admitted his team were fortunate to escape a penalty award, saying: "We deserved that bit of luck. Harlee Dean did handle but the hand was at a very close distance. There is some football god up there.
"I'm slightly disappointed we didn't win but overall my players did fantastic and deserve a lot of praise. They have earned the right to play at Stamford Bridge. Individually and collectively they were top drawer."
Rosler also clearly thought Chelsea keeper Ross Turnbull was fortunate to only receive a yellow card when he pulled down Tom Adeyemi.
The Brentford boss said: "It was a goalscoring opportunity that was denied and we all know what that means."

Yonhap news agency cited officials saying that soldiers fired about 20 rounds before the craft turned back.
Earlier, South Korea's president urged China to impose the strongest possible sanctions against North Korea, following its apparent nuclear test.
Pyongyang claims it has tested a hydrogen bomb.
That claim is doubted by experts, who say the blast, though probably nuclear, was not big enough to have been a thermonuclear explosion.
In a country as impoverished and isolated as North Korea, drone technology is the last thing one might expect from the military.
But on Wednesday South Korean troops spotted a surveillance drone flying near a front line observatory. The military in Seoul said the unmanned craft flew in from the north and crossed into the Demilitarised Zone. After soldiers fired warning shots, the craft turned back.
The military believes that the drone was launched by the North to identify South Korean troop positions that have been bolstered since North Korea's nuclear test a week ago.
Earlier in the day, propaganda leaflets carried by giant balloons from the North were also found near and in the South Korean capital Seoul. Some of the messages demanded that South Korean loudspeaker broadcasts across the border, stop. They were restarted in retaliation for the North's nuclear test last week.
In her annual press conference, President Park Geun-hye said the international community's response to North Korea "must differ from the past", without giving details.
She said new sanctions on Pyongyang must go further than before, with China's support crucial. She also warned of possible further action by North Korea, including "cyber terrorism".
China, North Korea's closest ally, has repeatedly condemned North Korea's nuclear tests but is often accused of doing little to try and stop them.
Ms Park stressed China's past statements but added: "I am certain that China is very well aware if such a strong will isn't followed by necessary steps, we will not be able to stop the North's fifth and sixth nuclear tests and we cannot guarantee true peace and stability on the Korean peninsula."
"I believe the Chinese government will not allow the situation on the Korean peninsula to deteriorate further."
Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry also urged China to take a tougher line, telling his Chinese counterpart the relationship with North Korea cannot be "business as usual".
President Park also spoke about the steps South Korea was taking with the US to "neutralise North Korea's provocative actions" including additional deployments of American military assets on the Korean peninsula.
Answering a question about whether Seoul would consider ending its involvement in the jointly-run Kaesong industrial zone, just north of the border, Ms Park said its future depended on Pyongyang's actions.
Seoul has already limited access to Kaesong from the South, to only those directly involved in its operations.
Former Wales captain Rees, 34, was sent off during the Blues' Challenge Cup defeat by Quins.
Judicial officer Pat Barriscale issued Rees with a 12-week ban but reduced the penalty because of Rees' guilty plea and "clean disciplinary record".
Rees can return on 11 January 2016 and has the right to appeal the decision.
In the meantime, he will miss the Blues' European Challenge Cup double-header against Montpellier and their Christmas Pro12 derby fixtures.
Under World Rugby's sanctions for foul play, low-end suspensions for stamping last up to two weeks, mid-range five weeks and top-end bans can last between nine and 52 weeks.
At Wednesday's hearing in London, Barriscale decided the offence was at the top end but reduced the sanction, also taking into account Rees' "timely expression of remorse to Easter".
"I am not an incredible enthusiast of that idea," Adam Bernard, from Harrow, tells me.
A long-standing Liberal Democrat member - since 1997 - he says Labour, founded on socialism, and the Lib Dems, founded on liberalism, stand for different things.
While there's "common ground" - and lots of areas where the parties should work together to oppose Tory policies - "losing our identity as different parties with different policies is not the way to go", he says.
And he thinks it is a move that would not sit well with voters: "The people who vote for these different parties would be right to be indignant that their choice has been taken away."
Adam also says he's not a fan of electoral pacts which would see other centre-left candidates step down in favour of the one deemed to stand the most chance of winning in a specific area.
"I don't think that taking away the Green candidate and expecting that they will follow orders and jump into line behind us, I think it's slightly presumptuous, I think it's slightly insulting and I don't think it's liberal."
"A sensible electoral system would be much more the answer so that we could work together," he adds, rather than damaging each other's vote in the first-past-the-post system where the winner takes all.
Leon Duveen, Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Bassetlaw, thinks it's an idea that "won't get any support" from party members.
And he also thinks there a risk it could put Liberal Democrat voters off.
"We are a separate party, but we are very willing to work with other parties on issues," he tells me.
He can conceive of there being unofficial electoral pacts in some local areas, where parties lend their support to the centre-left candidate deemed most likely to win in that area.
But certainly nothing official: "When it comes to elections we will stand separately because we are Liberal Democrats and we want to get Liberal Democrats elected."
On the party's future prospects, he said it is quite hard to say as the next general election, scheduled in 2020, is so far away.
He is sure, though, that it will improve on its 2015 general election performance, although he admits that is "not hard, I know", and predicts it will return up to 30 MPs to Parliament.
Antony Power, from South Hams and Brixton, joined the party after the 2015 general election, disappointed with the majority Conservative government.
It is therefore his first conference; so how's he finding it? "It's very interesting. It's been good so far," he tells me.
As a new member, what does he make of the idea of a new-centre-left party?
"It's got some legs," in terms of getting the centre-left voice out there more, he says, but he has "serious doubts" about whether it would work.
Antony says there's "a lot of synergy" between the Lib Dems and elements of the Labour Party and the "left wing" of the Conservative Party, but he suggests people are put off from joining because they don't want to "sit in opposition" or "struggle to get elected.
"I don't think the majority of people from Labour or Conservatives would come across because when I speak to those sorts of people the reason that they are Conservatives or in the Labour Party is because they perceive a lot more chance of getting in to power by doing that than following their true belief of being a Liberal Democrat."
However, he does think that if Jeremy Corbyn is re-elected as leader and the party shifts further to the left it will "disenfranchise a lot of its supporters" who may then switch to the Liberal Democrats.
Lisa-Maria Bornemann, also from Harrow, is a new joiner to the Lib Dems - since the 2015 general election.
She thinks the party should be "working together a lot" with others on the centre-left of politics.
But it should not be "merging" with any other parties as it risked "compromising our individual position".
She says the party has made "good progress" in recent by-elections and thinks it is "on the way back". But she concedes that the Lib Dems are unlikely to recover fully by the time of the 2020 election.
"That would be quite idealistic to think," she says.
She believes that the party needs to work on its individual presence and make sure the public understands what it stands for,
"We're stuck at 'we lost the election in 2015 and disappeared off the face of the earth'," she says. "We have not, but that's a way a lot of people see us."
Brenda Smith is from the New Forest. I ask her how long she's been a member, and she pauses to think. "Oh... that tells you how long. Probably in excess of 30 years", she says, explaining that she was a member of the Liberal Party before the Liberal Democrats.
"I would rather we kept our own identity because I think you would struggle to find enough common ground to unite enough people for enough time," she says.
While there is "probably much of the time more that unites us than divides us" on the centre-left, "I think there will equally be a number of very unhappy people who will just desert or become inactive" if the party merged with others.
"So whilst I would look forward to useful co-operative relationships I think anything more formal than that would struggle."
Recalling the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition, Brenda suggests that many Lib Dems would be "exceptionally wary" of doing anything over which it did not have full independence and which diluted its influence.
That's a view also held by Jenny Pinkett, from Tamworth, who says she's "very cautious" of alliances as "you can lose your distinctive message".
Jenny says the coalition was "too distinctly Conservative" and the Lib Dem message "wasn't coming through", which she believes contributed to the party's poor election result, which saw it reduced to just eight MPs.
A party member since 1987, she tells me she doesn't think there is a need for a new centre-left party "when we've got the Liberal Democrats".
"We are there. We're a centrist party," she says, adding: "Anybody is welcome to join us."
"We are distinctly Liberal Democrats and that's the way Liberal Democrats should be."
In an answer to a question from the Bolsover MP in the Commons, Mr Cameron advised him "to take his pension".
Mr Skinner, who turned 80 earlier this year, has been an MP since 1970.
Labour MP Toby Perkins accused the PM of age "discrimination" while shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the remarks were "shameful".
But one Lib Dem commentator has accused Labour MPs of "faux outrage" over the affair.
Mr Skinner and Mr Cameron regularly clash the weekly session of prime minister's questions but Monday's exchange came during a brief debate on the conduct of Jeremy Hunt in response to an urgent question from Labour leader Ed Miliband.
Mr Skinner said the prime minister wanted to keep the culture secretary in his job since while Mr Hunt was "in the firing line then it prevents the bullets hitting him". In response, Mr Cameron said Mr Skinner "has the right, at any time, to take his pension and I advise him to do so".
The PM's response angered Labour MPs, with shadow employment minister Toby Perkins raising a point of order later in the Commons claiming it was not the first time Mr Cameron had declined to answer one of Mr Skinner's questions "on account of the honourable member's age".
In January, the PM told Mr Skinner people should not visit the Natural History Museum to see dinosaurs but "come to the House of Commons".
Speaking on Monday, Mr Perkins said: "This sort of discrimination would not be accepted against black members or female members, so I have no idea why this House tolerates, on numerous occasions, members coming to that despatch box and refusing to answer his questions.
"This House should be above that sort of thing and I want to know what action to make sure today's disgusting spectacle is the last time we have to see it."
Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, who was sitting in the chair at the time, said there was "no place" in the Commons chamber for discrimination of any kind and that members should show "respect" to all their colleagues.
Two senior Labour figures also expressed concerns at the tone of the PM's remarks.
Deputy leader Harriet Harman wrote on Twitter that "David Cameron couldn't answer Dennis Skinner question so stooped to ageist abuse - shameful."
And Mr Alexander said Mr Cameron's "abusive answer just now towards Dennis Skinner was unworthy of his office".
Mr Skinner regularly taunts Mr Cameron and other senior Conservatives in the Commons.
He was ordered to leave the Commons Chamber in 2005 after accusing the then shadow chancellor George Osborne of taking drugs.
Lib Dem commentator Stephen Tall accused Labour MPs of "faux outrage" over the prime minister's remarks.
"Dennis Skinner is hardly a shrinking violet and if he dishes it out - and he does - he should be prepared to take it," he wrote on the website Liberal Democrat Voice.
Mr Cameron has come under fire in the past for personal comments he has made in the Commons, urging shadow transport secretary Angela Eagle to "calm down dear" and suggesting Conservative colleague Nadine Dorries was "very frustrated". He also recently urged Tory MP Douglas Carswell to get a sense of humour.
The PM has acknowledged he sometimes gets "distracted" by the amount of background noise in the Commons and that he should "try and tune out the noise and just concentrate on trying to answer the question".
The Telegraph claims to have footage from August of Allardyce meeting men claiming to represent a Far East firm where he appears to say third-party ownership rules can be avoided.
The 61-year-old has yet to respond to the allegations, while the FA has asked to see the paper's filmed recordings.
Third-party ownership of players was banned by the FA in 2008.
During the meeting with the businessmen, who were undercover reporters, it is alleged Allardyce said it was "not a problem" to bypass the rules and he knew of agents who were "doing it all the time".
It is alleged by the paper that a deal was struck with the England boss worth £400,000, which could represent a conflict of interest if he is paid by a company whose footballer clients could benefit from preferential treatment by an international manager.
Third-party ownership, in which investment companies take a stake in the economic rights of players, was described as a form of "slavery" by Michel Platini, the former president of European football's governing body Uefa president.
World football's governing body Fifa banned the practice in May last year.
Allardyce attended the meeting with the fictitious businessmen in London along with his agent, Mark Curtis, and his financial adviser, Shane Moloney.
During the meeting he said Enner Valencia had been under a third-party ownership agreement when he signed the Ecuador forward for £12m for West Ham from Mexican club Pachuca in 2014, but that the third-party ownership ended on the transfer and the Hammers acquired the player "whole".
Curtis and Moloney have not yet responded to the allegations.
Allardyce is due to name his squad on Sunday for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers, including his first Wembley match in charge against Malta on 8 October (17:00 BST kick-off).
Kajsa Tylen, 40, from Nottingham, broke Billie Fleming's 1938 record of 29,604 miles (47,642 km) on 24 November, but continued cycling until the end of the year.
She has cycled every day since 1 January riding across England and parts of mainland Europe.
She says she took on the challenge to inspire people to do more exercise.
Ms Tylen has built up the miles by riding from her home in Nottingham as well as taking part in events across the country.
For the last day, she left home and finished at Leisure Lakes Bikes in Breaston, Derbyshire.
The business analyst, originally from Sweden, battled through illness, bad weather and muscular pain to surpass Ms Fleming's record.
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
Ms Tylen, who took a year off work, said: "It's not sunk in yet and I don't think it ever will it's a such a ridiculously big number to have ridden.
"I always knew I'd finish it unless I got injured or ill, but sometimes I wanted to pack it all in.
"I had to write event logs and I've got notes on the back on them and on some I've just written "why am I doing this?".
She cycled across Europe, battling through strong headwinds and heavy rain.
In Scandinavia, in the summer, she rode through the night while the sun was still visible, an experience she described as "spectacular".
Her achievement is expected to be verified with Guinness World Records at a later date.
US cyclist Amanda Coker also claims to have broken Billie Fleming's record, but has been riding to a different set of rules.
She is allowed to slipstream other riders and use a different bicycle if she wishes, while Ms Tylen cannot.

The CPS said it had received files from 11 forces, and a 12th, Staffordshire Police, confirmed to the BBC it too had sent one.
The files are for the CPS to decide whether charges should be brought.
It comes after complaints about the way Conservative "battle bus" visits to constituencies had been recorded in campaign spending returns.
The allegations came to light following an investigation by Channel 4 News into claims the Tories may have broken election law at the 2015 general election and three earlier by-elections.
The CPS confirmed files had been received from:
On Monday, it was revealed that Craig Mackinlay, the MP for South Thanet in Kent, had been interviewed under caution over his election expenses.
Kent Police is not one of the forces to have sent a file to the CPS.
A second Conservative MP, Will Quince, who represents Colchester, said he had been told by Essex Police he faced no further action after voluntarily attending an interview under caution last January.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Mr Quince welcomed the decision by the police but said the complaint against him had been "vexatious and politically motivated".
We're guessing you don't spend your days drumming your fingers on piles of cash, wondering how to maximise your investments.
But if you are that person (lucky you), instead of buying old-fashioned stuff like bars of gold or classic cars you might soon be buying a "piece" of a celebrity.
It's an idea from a company in the US.
Fantex has created a way you can purchase and sell interests tied to the income of a celebrity.
At the moment it's all focused around sports stars like NFL footballer Alshon Jeffery of the Chicago Bulls.
The way it works is the celebrity gets a lump sum of cash (in Alshon's case nearly $8m, that's around £5m) from the investors, who in return get a stake in that person's future earnings.
It means whatever money Alshon makes from future contracts and endorsements, his investors - you - get a slice of the money.
So could we see Sam Smith or Paloma Faith floated on the stock market one day?
Tom Pakinkis, from Music Week, told Newsbeat that artists are increasingly looking for new ways to make money from "multiple aspects of both their music and brand".
"When it comes to artists selling more of themselves, some companies already allow fans to give money to artists for an album before recording has even begun," he said.
"In return they get more insight into the whole process - whether it's through exclusive lyric sheets, early recordings, band meets, video diaries.
"It means that a lot of the costs can be covered ahead of time rather than hoping that sales at the end of the chain will bring in enough revenue."
Of course rock stars and rappers are not exactly noted for their careful and quiet lifestyles, so there's a chance your star may disappear from the spotlight, develop an addiction or lose a record deal. Amy Winehouse is the obvious example of how it could all go wrong.
The people behind Fantex warn: "As with most investments, there are certain risks. An investment is highly speculative and should only be considered by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment."
But it's also true that today's megastars are increasingly business-orientated.
Pakinkis said the evidence is already there that musicians can't just wait for people to buy their songs anymore.
"Examples of new approaches include the likes of Jay Z's deal with Samsung," he explained.
"It saw him effectively sell a large number of copies of his album directly to the tech company for it to distribute to its customers."

Roy Thomas, the chairman of Kidney Wales Foundation (KWF), said these groups are three times more likely to need a transplant compared to the rest of the population.
But he said fewer than 2% have signed-up to the NHS Organ Donation Register.
It comes as a donor expert accused the Welsh government of misleading the assembly over its organ donation bill.
John Fabre, professor of clinical sciences at King's College London, said the policy was misinterpreted based on information from Spain's system.
Prof Fabre, the author of several papers on international systems of organ donation, claimed Spain's high donation rate was as a result of the available facilities and coordination in the Spanish health service, not the result of legislation.
The Human Transplantation Bill, which could become law by 2015, would mean adults living in Wales would have to "opt-out" of the organ donation system if they did not want to donate after death.
Currently, people have to actively "opt-in" to become a donor.
But KWF used the example of Belgium, where only 2% of the population opted-out of a presumed consent system and said it proved a "great success" with donor rates increasing by 55% in the first five years.
In evidence to the assembly's health and social care committee, Mr Thomas said a change in the law was a "key component" to a change in organ donation.
He added: "It is, however, key that the proposed legislation is implemented with the goodwill of the people of Wales.
"A transplant law provides only a legal environment which can influence the extent to which potential donors can be used.
"The law in proper practice will be essential."
Mr Thomas told the committee: "We have been campaigning for the change in the law over many years and we have a determination to see the successful implementation of the law because of the clear effect it will have in changing the cultural approach in Wales and the UK on organ donation."
A Welsh government spokesman said the Spanish government's website "points to the adoption of appropriate legislation as one element of the success of their model for organ donation".
Flock's sensor, which it offers for $50 a year per house, logs the number plates of every car that drives into a street and takes a picture. The sensor could eventually provide facial recognition.
Residents of monitored neighbourhoods can opt-out of being tracked - but visitors, or people passing through, cannot.
Flock is backed by Y Combinator, a start-up “incubator” which in the past has funded successes including Dropbox, Reddit and AirBnB.
A privacy expert said he believed the data collection to be legal according to US law, but that the idea could ignite a debate about the "right to be left alone in public”.
“One of the great weaknesses in US privacy law is that we only protect against intrusions into private areas, not public spaces,” said Albert Gidari, director of privacy at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society.
"Public roads through neighbourhoods, licence plates, pedestrians on public sidewalks etc all are fair game," he said.
The data is only made available to “neighbourhood leaders”, Flock says, and is a tool that could be used to fight crime.
To date, one person has been convicted thanks to evidence captured by the device.
“An unfortunate individual drove into one of our [monitored] neighbourhoods,” explained Garret Langley, chief executive and co-founder of Flock.
"He put a nice road bike in the back of his car, and drove off with both the window down and the trunk open.
"Not only do we have footage of his licence plate, we have a picture of his face and a picture of the bike in the back.”
The technology was shown off at Y Combinator’s Demo Day, the twice-yearly event at which entrepreneurs pitch their companies to several hundred investors.
Flock’s devices are being trialled in seven neighbourhoods in and around Atlanta, with more locations across the US currently being considered.
A second day of presentations takes place on Tuesday
Residents in neighbourhoods being trialled by Flock can opt-out of being tracked, but visitors to those locations - or simply people passing through - have no way of stopping the technology from logging their movements.
“Should there be? I would leave that up to the neighbourhood to decide,” Mr Langley told the BBC.
“We believe that our job is to provide the neighbourhoods with the technology to protect themselves as they see fit.
"We don’t want into get into the business of making decisions about privacy and how this technology is used beyond the original use case.
“It's not our data - it’s the neighbourhood’s data - and we delete it after 30 days.”
Stanford’s Mr Gidari said the technology perhaps highlighted one instance where long-existing laws may not have taken into consideration the types of technology on offer today.
"As these systems become more available and new platforms for capturing imagery become cheaper to deploy, we may yet revisit the issue of whether there is a right to be left alone in public, to be obscure or anonymous, or to be free from collection and storage in other's systems."
He added: “A few states have laws that prohibit the collection of biometric information - facial recognition would raise the issue.”
No wonder the meteoric rise and fall of the boxing legend often referred to as the people's champion still generates interest 70 years after his death.
The latest telling of the story of the diminutive tough guy from Glasgow's Gorbals is a new documentary, Benny, to be screened at the Glasgow Film Festival.
Born in 1913, Lynch rose from being a sickly child in the poverty-stricken tenements to become world flyweight champion.
But his descent was as steep as his rise and just over a decade later he was dead, following a battle with alcoholism.
Seumas Mactaggart, one of the producers of the film, says he wanted to focus on Lynch's achievements as a boxer and not his tragic decline.
He says: "When you see the fantastic archive we have it really gives you sense of how hard he could hit.
"These guys were way under eight and a half stone (54kg) but you look at the ferocity of the punches and also the speed at which they moved and it is amazing.
"He could punch with both hands and hit as hard with each of them. When he was at his prime, no-one could touch him."
Lynch managed 119 fights in his short career.
He won the world flyweight title in 1935 when he beat Jackie Brown in Manchester, reportedly flooring his opponent eight times before the bout was stopped in the second round.
Jim Watt, who became lightweight world champion 40 years later in 1979, tells the documentary: "Benny is the most important figure as far as Scottish boxing is concerned.
"He was the first one to do it. He showed us that a little guy from Glasgow, a little guy from Scotland, could be champion of the whole wide world."
The film's producer says Lynch was already massively popular in Glasgow before he became world champion.
He says: "There were 2,000 Scots at the fight in Manchester and the place was pandemonium when he won.
"When he came back up to Glasgow, the estimates range from between 20,000 and 100,000 at Central Station.
"It was phenomenal the turnout and the regard that people had for Benny."
Mr Mactaggart says that Benny's problems began soon after he won the world title.
He says: "There was a guy called Sammy Wilson who discovered Benny as a young lad and really mentored him.
"He was almost a father figure to him. He took him all the way through and then unfortunately there was a spilt with Sammy just after he won the world championship.
"Although he went on and was successful after, for Benny you got the feeling that without Sammy as a safe pair of hands and a person in his corner he was a bit lost."
Lynch established himself as the "undisputed" flyweight champion of the world when he narrowly beat Small Montana in London in 1937.
But Mr Mactaggart says the pinnacle of his career was swiftly followed by a decline.
"Once you have the world title you have everything you wanted," he says.
"The feeling was that his hunger went and other distractions came along.
"There were also people who came along looking for a piece of Benny and it was not good for him. There was not someone there to protect him like Sammy Wilson had in the past."
By the following year, Lynch's drinking lifestyle meant that he could no longer make the weight for the flyweight division.
He forfeited his title against American Jackie Jurich because he was overweight.
His last fight was against Aurel Toma in London in October 1938.
It was the first time he had ever been knocked out.
His boxing licence was revoked on medical grounds in 1939 and he slipped into freefall.
"For Benny, boxing was everything and that was the end," says the documentary producer.
"The boxing ring was his home. It was where he felt most comfortable. Without that it became much more difficult for him."
Lynch made attempts to dry out, spending time in a monastery in Ireland, but died from malnutrition-induced respiratory failure in 1946, at the age of 33.
The documentary is narrated by Hollywood actor Tommy Flanagan.
The Sons of Anarchy and Peaky Blinders star, who is from Glasgow, is a fan of Lynch and patron of the Remember Benny Lynch Campaign, which aims to get a memorial to the boxer put up in the city.
Mr Mactaggart says Lynch was a "real superstar and a massive celebrity" who had newsreel footage of his bouts and his life shown in US cinemas.
"I think there are lessons to be learned about how we treat young sports stars," he says.
"As soon as that success comes there is so much more that comes with that.
"If he had the right support around him it could have been very different."
With nearly 850 people still missing, the toll is likely to rise further, Civil Defence chief Benito Ramos said.
The storm struck the Philippines on 4 December, with the southern island of Mindanao worst affected.
Many of those still unaccounted for are fishermen who went to sea before the storm hit.
"The death toll will go higher," Mr Ramos told AFP news agency. "We found a lot of bodies yesterday, buried under fallen logs and debris."
The number of people known to have died now stands at 1,020, the national disaster relief agency said.
The storm displaced hundreds of thousands of people and caused severe damage to property and infrastructure.
A large relief operation continues.
More than 27,000 people remain in evacuation centres, with many more sheltering at the homes of friends and family.
The Philippines is hit by several typhoons each year but they usually strike further to the north.
Last year, Typhoon Washi left about 1,300 people dead when it struck northern Mindanao, causing rivers to burst their banks.
The home made vessel left Brevig in the Broad Bay at 07:00 on Tuesday. The alarm was raised at 20:00 after it failed to return.
The missing man did not give details of where he intended to go and does not have a radio or mobile phone with him.
The coastguard helicopter, the local lifeboat, police and coastguard members have been involved in the search.
The missing boat is blue and black, 3m long and has an outboard motor. Anyone who thinks they may have seen the boat or its skipper in the past 24 hours has been asked to call Stornoway Coastguard on 01851 702013.
The Very Reverend June Osborne, Dean of Salisbury, was the first woman to become dean at a medieval cathedral.
She replaces Dr Barry Morgan who retired at the end of January.
Her appointment was made by the Bench of Bishops after the initial process failed to select one of the candidates leading to an accusation of homophobia which the church strongly denied.
In March, Dr Jeffrey John, who did not get the number of votes needed to be chosen, spoke out after the process ended and said homophobic remarks had been made at the electoral college meeting.
It is understood Dr John received a majority of the votes, but not the two-thirds required by Church rules.
The Church "strongly denied" the allegations of homophobia and said a candidate required two-thirds of the vote to be chosen.
On Thursday, it was announced that Dean Osborne would become the Church in Wales' second female bishop. Canon Joanna Penberthy was consecrated as Bishop of St Davids in January.
The diocese of Llandaff serves most of Cardiff, the south Wales valleys and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Her appointment will be confirmed on 14 July at a meeting of the Sacred Synod of Church in Wales Bishops in Brecon Cathedral.
She will be consecrated as bishop on 15 July and enthroned at Llandaff Cathedral on 22 July.
The Church's Senior Bishop, the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, John Davies, said the diocese would be "richly blessed".
He added: "June's track record admirably demonstrates her passion for Christian ministry modelled on the Gospel imperatives of love, justice, inclusivity and openness. All of these are qualities which I and my fellow bishops warmly support and welcome."
Dean Osborne said the appointment was a "great privilege".
"It will be something of a homecoming for the family, particularly because my husband is from Cardiff and it is a place we know and love," she said.
Dean June will celebrate her final Sunday at Salisbury Cathedral on 9 July.
The US state department said it was not "a viable deal" while the UN ambassador said North Korea was not "rational".
China's suggestion came after North Korea launched four ballistic missiles, breaking international sanctions.
Meanwhile the US has begun deploying a missile defence shield in South Korea.
It is also conducting its annual large-scale drills with the South Korean military, which routinely infuriate North Korea.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday that the security situation on the Korean peninsula was like "two accelerating trains, coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way".
A mutual halt of military operations by all parties would be the first step towards easing tensions and reopening negotiations, he said.
But US state department spokesman Mark Toner said this was like comparing "apples and oranges".
"What we're doing in terms of our defence co-operation with South Korea is in no way comparable to the blatant disregard that North Korea has shown with respect to international law."
But he said the US needed to look for new strategies on North Korea.
"All of the efforts we have taken thus far to attempt to persuade North Korea to engage in meaningful negotiations have fallen short, to be honest," he said.
"So we need to look at new ways to convince them, to persuade them, that it's in their interests."
The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Wednesday, having issued a stronger than usual condemnation of the latest North Korean test.
It accused North Korea of "increasingly destabilising behaviour" which risked sparking a regional arms race.
The US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley later told reporters that "all options were on the table" regarding North Korea.
But she said that the world was "not dealing with a rational person" when it came to the North Korean leader.
"It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time," she said.
Ms Haley also repeated US assurances that the installation of the US-made Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad) in South - to shoot down missile attacks from the North - was not a threat to China.
China has been angered by the system, as it believes its powerful radar will enable the US to monitor its military activities too.
Ms Haley said the US was "not going to leave South Korea standing there with the threat of North Korea facing them and not help".
Japan and South Korea also rejected the idea of a deal with North Korea.
What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have?
1. The enemy launches a missile
2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control
3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile
4. The interceptor missile is fired at the enemy projectile
5. The enemy projectile is destroyed in the terminal phase of flight
The launcher trucks can hold up to eight interceptor missiles.
The Manchester United striker, 18, has scored on his debuts in the Premier League, Europa League, England's senior side and now the U21s.
But Rashford was not in Allardyce's first senior squad against Slovakia.
"I wasn't surprised in any way," said Southgate of Rashford's three goals in the 6-1 win against Norway on Tuesday.
"What we saw all week from him, we saw tonight. I couldn't have been happier with the way he approached everything.
"I'll speak to Sam in the next couple of days, I'm sure it's given him food for thought."
Rashford also scored on his full international debut against Australia in May, and netted the winner for United against Hull in his only Premier League appearance this season at the end of August.
Chelsea trio Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Lewis Baker also scored for England, in an impressive display at Colchester.
The comfortable win means Gareth Southgate's men are now two points clear of Switzerland at the top of their group, with two games left to play and a game in hand on their nearest opponents. | Mobile phone firm Vodafone is launching a fixed-line broadband service in the UK, putting it head to head with established operators such as BT.

Adalah and the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Centre also requested an injunction to freeze its implementation pending a ruling by the court.
The law, passed by Israel's parliament, has been denounced by Palestinians.
Israel's attorney-general has also warned that it is unconstitutional.
Avichai Mandelblit has said he will not defend the legislation in court, and may even be called testify against it, according to Israeli media reports.
More than 600,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians claim for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
There are also 97 settler outposts - built without official authorisation from the Israeli government - across the West Bank, according to the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now.
The so-called "Regularisation Bill" says settlement construction in the West Bank carried out in "good faith" and without knowledge that the land was privately owned can be recognised by the government if settlers show they received some kind of state support in establishing themselves at the site.
It allows the government to expropriate land for its own use if the Palestinian owners are unknown. If the owners are known, they will be compensated with money or an alternative plot.
Peace Now said the law would allow for the retroactive legalisation of 3,921 homes in 72 settlements and 55 outposts built on approximately 818 hectares (2,020 acres) of private Palestinian land.
On Wednesday, Adalah and the JLAC filed an appeal against the legislation with the Supreme Court on behalf of 17 Palestinian towns and villages.
"This sweeping and dangerous law permits the expropriation of vast tracts of private Palestinian land, giving absolute preference to the political interests of Israel as an occupying power and to Israeli settlers," Suhad Bishara, a lawyer for Adalah, said in a statement.
"It violates the property rights both of resident and refugee Palestinians."
Ms Bishara said the Supreme Court had given the Israeli government 30 days to respond.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said in an English-language video statement: "The underlying premise behind the critics of Israel is that this is occupied Palestinian land. This premise is incorrect.
"Israel has both historic and legal rights to this land and the law reaches the right balance between the rights of the Jewish families to their homes and the right of the owners of these plots of land to get compensation," she added.
The Supreme Court has in the past annulled laws it deemed unconstitutional.
Two years ago it ordered the dismantling of the largest settlement outpost, Amona, because it was built on private Palestinian land. Amona was evacuated by Israeli police enforcing the order last week.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has described the law as "an aggression against our people that we will be opposing in international organisations".
"What we want is peace... but what Israel does is to work toward one state based on apartheid," he told reporters in Paris on Tuesday.
European Union foreign police chief Federica Mogherini warned that "should it be implemented, the law would further entrench a one-state reality of unequal rights, perpetual occupation and conflict".
US officials said they would "withhold comment on the legislation until the relevant court ruling".
President Donald Trump is seen as more sympathetic to settlement activity than his predecessor, Barack Obama, who chose in December not to veto a UN Security Council resolution declaring that Israeli settlements had "no legal validity" and were an obstacle to peace.
The by-elections in Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent Central have left politics a little clearer than before.
Labour may no longer need to fear the UK Independence Party in its heartlands, but Theresa May and her Conservatives look like they need fear no-one.
Brexit worked for the Tories in Copeland, alongside doubts about Jeremy Corbyn, and it has helped the prime minister claim to be a Tory capable of reaching people and parts of the country no Conservative leader has reached since Margaret Thatcher.
Her authority, her less easily definable aura of power, have grown.
Downing Street was already convinced they could, to put it plainly, beat Jeremy Corbyn in their sleep.
They are doubly convinced now.
So Mrs May has space to develop her big idea besides Brexit, making people who feel left out by the global economy, feel it is working for them.
Her plan to achieve that is still a work in progress.
Meanwhile, the government is still trying to manage a small voting majority in the Commons - and that will not change unless or until Mrs May wins a bigger one at the next election.
Will she be tempted to go to the country before 2020?
Dominant at home or not, Theresa May's premiership will be defined by her handling of Brexit. And that's a long struggle against Britain's European rivals and under domestic political pressure that can only increase.
The White House says that James Comey was fired for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email inquiry, but Democrats have called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate links between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
The BBC's North America reporter Anthony Zurcher answers your questions on what will happen next.
Why are the Democrats now saying that James Comey should stay? Didn't Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi all say that he was doing a bad job?
Indeed there are plenty of quotes from top Senate Democrats expressing dismay bordering on disgust with the way Mr Comey handled the FBI investigation into Mrs Clinton's email server.
However, most of those quotes date back to November 2016. Six months are an eternity in politics, and in the ensuing time Mr Comey has become the face of the FBI's investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
While many Democrats may not have been thrilled with Mr Comey, over the past few months they've come to view him as one of the few individuals independent enough to challenge the president.
How will his successor be appointed? Will the Trump administration be the ones to dictate the position?
Donald Trump has the power to fire the director of the FBI, and he's the one who gets to hire the replacement. But it's a high-level political appointment, so whoever he picks has to be confirmed by a majority vote in the 100-seat US Senate.
Given that there are currently 52 Republicans there, as long as Mr Trump's party sticks together, Democrats will be unable to block whoever Mr Trump chooses as the nation's next top law enforcement officer.
The system is set up to insulate FBI directors from politics. They serve 10-year terms, which means their tenure is supposed to overlap multiple presidents. The last time an FBI director was fired mid-term was back in 1993. It's a rare occurrence that is fraught with political peril.
Can Mr Comey speak freely now he is out of office about these events in any subsequent hearing? Is he subject to the Official Secrets Act?
The former director is still bound by various US laws, similar to the British Official Secrets Act, that criminalise revealing classified information, as well as government policies that prohibit releasing details of an ongoing investigation.
That doesn't mean, however, that he can't shed new light on his interactions with the White House and the possible political pressure they have put him under, over the past few months, if he so desires.
Democrats are already calling for Mr Comey to return to Congress to testify about the circumstances of his firing. Mr Trump may have removed him from his post at the FBI, but he won't be able to usher him off the national stage so easily.
What does James Comey's dismissal mean for the future of the bureau?
The Trump White House, from the president down, has framed Mr Comey's dismissal as a necessary step in restoring public trust in the FBI.
It's certainly true that the former director had plenty of critics on both sides of the political divide - ones who thought the bureau would be better served with new, less politically charged leadership.
In the short-term, however, the president's move throws the FBI into chaos. The rank-and-file in the bureau were caught totally off-guard by the announcement.
The future of the Russia investigation itself is up in the air, pending further action by the Justice Department.
Mr Trump's choice for Mr Comey's successor, then, is critical. He or she is likely to be viewed with deep suspicion by Democrats, particularly if the pick has a partisan background.
The rebuilding task for the FBI will be difficult, and the Trump White House hasn't made it any easier so far.
Why did President Trump have to state in his letter firing the FBI chief that on three occasions he had assured him that he was not being investigated?
He didn't have to say that. In fact, he probably shouldn't have brought it up at all.
By saying that Mr Comey had assured him he wasn't under investigation - communications that were previously unreported and would be very unusual given the ongoing nature of the FBI inquiry - Mr Trump has effectively put a spotlight on the matter.

Royal Portrush club's place on the rota of host courses is to be confirmed next week. It is likely to be held in 2019.
The R&A, which organises The Open, has confirmed it will hold a press conference at Royal Portrush on Monday.
It is the first time since 1951 that Northern Ireland and the County Antrim course has hosted The Open.
The decision follows the successful staging of the Irish Open in 2012.
As it is going on a rota of courses, it means Portrush will also get future tournaments after 2019.
Philip Tweedie from Royal Portrush said this was good news for everyone.
"It is something we have been working towards over the last few years. It is great for the club, it is great for Portrush, for Northern Ireland and, indeed, Ireland," he said.
"From the overall tourism point of view, this is a real boost."
Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke had all called for The Open to return to Portrush.
Darren Clarke, who won The Open in 2011 is delighted that his home club will stage the tournament.
"It is wonderful for the area, for Northern Ireland and the whole of Ireland that one of the biggest sporting events in the world is coming here," he said.
"It's just massive, with pictures of Royal Portrush being beamed around the world to people who haven't seen how beautiful it is."
Two-times major winner Rory McIlroy said winning the Open at Portrush would be the pinnacle of his career.
"Irish golf has been on a great run and the ultimate is getting a major back here," he said.
"It's going to be incredible and I'm already looking forward to it.
"Everyone says winning the Open at St Andrews is a golfer's dream, but to win the event at home would probably be even bigger for me."
Graham McDowell said that to play an open championship in Portrush would be "something a bit special".
US star Tiger Woods said: "As far north as I have been is Royal County Down... But it would be pretty incredible."
The officials at Royal Portrush are equally pleased with the news.
Norman Hillis who is also an alderman and businessman in Portrush said: "They've all been rooting for us to get The Open here and everybody is thrilled. This is fantastic for the town and brilliant for Northern Ireland. The Royal Portrush Golf Club is top class in the world."
Mr Hillis said the legacy of hosting The Open would far outweigh any short term loss.
"We will be at the centre of the golfing world for the whole build-up period and we will have legacy after this competition is played in 2019. There will be far, far greater benefits. People will be coming from all over the world to play the course," he said.
"It is going to be an event, not just for Portrush, but for all of Northern Ireland."
Driving for the new Ford Chip Ganassi team, Guernsey's Priaulx and team-mates Harry Tincknell and Marino Franchitti finished ninth in their class, having hoped to get onto the podium.
"It was a tough race," he said. "We had a gearbox issue at the start, so we were unlucky from the outset.
"Considering what happened to us, just finishing was an achievement."
Priaulx and his team-mates qualified fourth-fastest in their class, but saw fellow Ford drivers Joey Hand, Dirk Muller and Sebastien Bourdais win on the 50th anniversary of the manufacturer's first victory at Le Mans.
"I have already been on a World Endurance Championship podium at Spa and sort of hoped to achieve the same here, but it was not to be," added Priaulx.
"The team did a great job and we have all learnt a lot for next year."
The award and £60,000 prize money is presented to a writer for their "achievement in fiction on the world stage", organisers said.
Roth, 78, said: "This is a great honour and I'm delighted to receive it."
His body of work includes the 1997 novel American Pastoral, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize. At 26, he wrote his first book Goodbye, Columbus.
'Esteemed prize'
The announcement was made at a press conference in Australia, during the Sydney Writers' Festival.
The award will be presented at a formal dinner in London on 28 June, however a spokeswoman said Roth would be unable to attend.
Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1933, Roth's controversial 1969 novel Portnoy's Complaint brought him worldwide attention for its graphic depiction of sexuality.
Time magazine included the work in a list of the best novels of the 20th century.
His 2000 book The Human Stain was adapted for the screen, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman.
The American author said he was grateful to the judges for awarding him the "esteemed prize".
He added: "One of the particular pleasures I've had as a writer is to have my work read internationally despite all the heartaches of translation that that entails.
"I hope the prize will bring me to the attention of readers around the world who are not familiar with my work. This is a great honour and I'm delighted to receive it."
The judging panel was chaired by writer, academic and rare-book dealer Dr Rick Gekoski.
"For more than 50 years Philip Roth's books have stimulated, provoked and amused an enormous, and still expanding, audience," he said.
"His imagination has not only recast our idea of Jewish identity, it has also reanimated fiction, and not just American fiction, generally."
Gekoski was joined on the panel by writer and critic Carmen Callil and award-winning novelist Justin Cartwright.
In March British thriller writer John Le Carre asked judges to withdraw his name from the shortlist.
The author said he was "enormously flattered" but added: "I do not compete for literary prizes."
His Dark Materials author Philip Pullman and Rohinton Mistry had also been up for the award.
The Man Booker International Prize, which is presented every two years, has previously been awarded to Ismail Kadare in 2005, Chinua Achebe in 2007 and Alice Munro in 2009.
In JK Rowling's bestselling series, evil wizard Voldemort is such a fearsome character no-one in the magic community dares utter his name.
"I'm that character in Harry Potter they can't talk about," said the 43-year-old. "Voldemort? It's as if you can't mention him."
Armstrong has previously said he should be forgiven for doping and lying.
He added: "It won't be the case forever because it can't be the case forever."
The American was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from sport for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in August 2012.
In January 2013, after years of denials, he confessed to taking performance-enhancing drugs during all of his Tour de France wins.
"I tried to make it right with every one of those people [who were hindered either by Armstrong's doping or denial of doing so]. I can only do so much," said Armstrong.
It follows a critical inspection at Allerton Lodge Care Home in Brynford, near Holywell, by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate for Wales.
Flintshire council said it was moving all 15 residents out as the home had not made enough progress since the CSSIW report.
The home owner has declined to comment.
The CSSIW inspection found one resident had not received prescribed medication for 17 days and another was seen crying because she was so hungry.
A council spokesman said: "The home has been given every opportunity and support.
"A decision has been made to withdraw the contract with immediate effect and move all residents to safe and secure surroundings as a matter of urgency.
"The council will not tolerate poor standards of care and has acted promptly."
The spokesman added: "Over recent months we have been working closely with the owner of Allerton Lodge Care Home and CSSIW to support the home to address concerns we share over the quality of care.
"Unfortunately, the home has not made sufficient progress and cannot provide us with the assurances we need in the interests of the welfare of its residents."
The CSSIW said in a statement: "Following serious concerns that we had about standards of care provided at Allerton Lodge, we worked closely with Flintshire County Council, who are now terminating their contract with the home.
"They are making arrangements for the residents living there to move to other services as soon as possible.
"Our primary concern is for the safety and well-being of everyone who uses the service."
The black and white male has been nicknamed Henry, after King Henry VII who was born at the castle in Pembrokeshire.
The RSPCA said it was a horrible ordeal for Henry, who was very frightened.
He was given antibiotics and pain relief by a vet, and is recovering well.
RSPCA animal collection officer Ellie West said: "It was just by chance someone saw the kitten struggling on the wall. The poor little thing was so frightened. We don't know how he got there.
"He is very sore and bruised and he has torn a bit of his skin on his thigh which should heal. But he is doing really well and is now recovering from his ordeal in our care.
"He's eaten well overnight which is good as he's actually a little skinny under all that fur."
It is believed Henry is a stray cat, but the RSPCA has appealed for information in case he has an owner.
St Luke's Hospice have put on the display to give the "local community the chance to remember a loved one in a very unique way".
The plastic flowers will be on display until the end of May before they are sold.
Angela Rippon OBE officially opened the garden and said it was a "great pleasure".
She said: "This is a wonderfully graphic way of reminding people of those individuals in our lives that have been important to us people who we really do want to continue to remember".
The flowers were created by the Theatre Royal Plymouth's TR2 workshops, who were also responsible for the sculpture design for the recent London Poppy Appeal.
Seb Soper, head of project development at the theatre, said: "Housed on a steal rod each flower is individually handcrafted whilst hot and therefore each flower is distinctly different."
The 27-year-old struck either side of half-time with two typically well-taken finishes to put his side ahead after Sergio Garcia's solo goal had given the visitors a surprise early lead.
After Messi's second, Barca took charge with Gerard Pique heading their third.
Pedro scored a fourth before Messi had the last word by completing the rout.
Messi's three goals - the first a pinpoint finish from the edge of the box, the second a side-foot strike after he had controlled Luis Suarez's pass and the third a tap-in following a one-two with Pedro - took him to 256 goals in La Liga in 291 appearances.
They also took him past the 200 goal mark in Spain's top flight since the 2009 arrival at Real Madrid of Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored his own 200th goal as part of a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday night.
Ronaldo's treble was a record 23rd in La Liga, but Messi is not far behind, having now notched up his 21st in the competition.
Ronaldo still leads the goalscoring charts for this season with 29 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions (and a stunning 23 in 13 in la Liga), with Messi having now scored 20 in 19 games this campaign, 13 of which have come in the league.
Barca were once again indebted to their Argentine forward for turning the game around after Garcia had charged forward to slot Espanyol into a 13th-minute lead and give them hope of a famous victory at the home of their local rivals.
However, having claimed the lead, Barca kicked on and Pique's header from a corner and substitute Pedro's drilled finish from Jordi Alba's pass swung the game decisively in their favour before Messi added the gloss.
Real's win (their Spanish record-equalling 18th in succession in all competitions) took them five points clear of their great rivals overnight.
But Barca's victory means the gap is now back to two points, with reigning champions Atletico Madrid two points behind Luis Enrique's side in third.
James Freeman, who joined the firm a year ago, apologised after criticism from callers to BBC Radio Bristol.
He said First was in the middle of a "massive rescheduling" of local services - with 58 new double deckers coming into service in the autumn.
Passengers on major Bristol routes were up 25% with a 10% rise in Bath.
Bus services were described as "diabolical" by one caller to a BBC Radio Bristol phone-in - who complained that his wife's bus - the 43 - had not turned up at all 17 times since December.
Others complained that buses were too packed to board, stopped in the wrong place and that drivers simply did not know the area.
Mr Freeman, managing director for Bristol and the West of England, said buses and drivers were having to be brought in from outside Bristol to cope with pressure on services - which had seen an "amazing" increase year on year.
New low-carbon buses had been ordered and new drivers were being recruited, he said.
The firm had too many single-decker buses - many of which were now being replaced by a new fleet of double deckers.
"I'm really, really sorry for all the problems, anybody who travels on those services will know they are not right," he said.
"They are a bit better at the moment because of the summer traffic but the fact is, they have not been right for a long time and we are reorganising them and rescheduling them."
First is the biggest bus company in the West of England, operating 567 vehicles and employing about 1,700 people across the region.
William Kelly, 41, was seriously injured in the fire which killed his mother Catherine, 71, on 11 February.
Mr Kelly faces charges of murder, attempted murder, assault to severe injury, permanent impairment and danger of life, and assault to severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
He made no plea at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.
They would not be doing it if it wasn't for the former Goldman Sachs economist, Jim - now Lord - O'Neill.
He coined the term 15 years ago as a marketing tool for investors looking for more adventurous growth prospects.
Lord O'Neill has told the BBC the group have performed better than even he had thought.
"The Brics countries collectively are bigger today even in the most optimistic scenario I thought 15 years ago, and it's primarily because of China."
He says this despite recent weak performances from Russia and Brazil, whose economies were the most reliant on commodity prices.
"Despite the problems Brazil and Russia face - and they're big - in the first decade of Brics they all grew way more strongly than I thought."
The countries were picked as they are all leading developing or newly industrialized countries, with potential for fast growth and therefore investment returns.
South Africa was not one of the original four he was looking at. The others asked that country to join them at the meetings they began holding in the late 2000s.
They contain half the world's population and represent between 20-25% of world gross domestic product.
He was warned after he came up with the acronym in 2001 that including Brazil and Russia in the list was risky, since notoriously volatile prices for the oil, metals and minerals from which they derive a large source of income made them an easy hostage to fortune.
Lord O'Neill said: "I have occasionally, when pushed, joked that the group should have been called 'Ics'!
"Brazil and Russia have been really disappointing and some people in the earliest days said these countries would be found out when commodity prices fell sharply and on one level that of course has happened."
Brazil and Russia are both in recession, Brazil on some counts is suffering its worst downturn since the 1930s.
But Lord O'Neill said there had been a very strong recovery in the Brazilian real: "If you look at financial markets the Brazilian financial market is the top performing market in the world.
"I think the Brazilian real has probably risen 50% against the pound, so I wish I would have put some money into Brazilian real because I'd be more happy about Brazil than many people I see writing about it."

Last night the BBC Music Awards took place in London.
Adele was the big winner of the night taking song of the year for Hello, and album of the year, for 25.
Ricky caught up with some of the biggest names in the music industry to find out which Emoji they'd use to describe their year.
Germany has dropped below Japan to have not just the lowest birth rate across Europe but also globally, according to the report by Germany-based analysts.
Its authors warned of the effects of a shrinking working-age population.
They said women's participation in the workforce would be key to the country's economic future.
In Germany, an average of 8.2 children were born per 1,000 inhabitants over the past five years, according to the study by German auditing firm BDO with the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI).
It said Japan saw 8.4 children born per 1,000 inhabitants over the same time period.
In Europe, Portugal and Italy came in second and third with an average of 9.0 and 9.3 children, respectively. France and the UK both had an average of 12.7 births per 1,000 inhabitants.
Meanwhile, the highest birth rates were in Africa, with Niger at the top of the list with 50 births per 1,000 people.
Germany's falling birth rate means the percentage of people of working age in the country - between 20 and 65 - would drop from 61% to 54% by 2030, Henning Voepel, director of the HWWI, said in a statement (in German).
Arno Probst, a BDO board member, said employers in Germany faced higher wage costs as a result.
"Without strong labour markets, Germany cannot maintain its economic edge in the long run," he added.
Experts disagree over the reasons for Germany's low birth rate, as well as the ways to tackle the situation.
Mr Probst said the country would need young immigrant workers to fill the significant skills gap. And more women were needed in the workforce to avoid economic problems.
Germany has one of the highest migration rates in the world, but has also seen growing support for anti-immigration party Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD).
The latest birth rate figures comes despite efforts by Mrs Merkel's government to invest in childcare support.
This time it's the American intelligence community's familiar foe - Wikileaks - with another cache of what look like highly sensitive secret documents, this time about the CIA's technical capabilities.
The National Security Agency faced its problems when Edward Snowden passed on documents to journalists - but this time it's the NSA's sister agency.
While the NSA is the agency charged with collecting what is called signals intelligence and the CIA's job is to recruit human spies, the reality is that the technical and the human side of espionage have been drawing closer for years.
The CIA created a Directorate of Digital Innovation whose director told me the priority was making sure the agency stayed on top of technology.
While the NSA may sift global internet traffic looking for intelligence, the CIA prioritises close access against specific targets who it is interested in.
And getting into someone's electronic devices can be vital if you are trying to target them - either to recruit them as an agent or for a drone strike against a suspected terrorist.
These latest leaks will be a huge problem for the CIA as the Snowden leaks were for the NSA (although there will be less surprise about these capabilities now since we learned so much from the Snowden files).
There is the embarrassment factor - that an agency whose job is to steal other people's secrets has not been able to keep their own.
This will be added to by the revelations that the US consulate in Frankfurt was used as a base for the technical operations which may cause problems in Germany where the Edward Snowden revelations caused intense domestic debate.
Then there will be the fear of a loss of intelligence coverage by the CIA against their targets who may change their behaviour because they now know the spies can do.
And then there will be the questions over whether the CIA's technical capabilities were too expansive and too secret.
Because many of the initial documents point to capabilities targeting consumer devices, the hardest questions may revolve around what is known as the "equities" problem - when you find a vulnerability in a piece of technology, how do you balance the benefit of leaving that vulnerability in place so the intelligence agency can exploit it to collect intelligence with the benefit to the public of informing the manufacturer so they can close it and improve everyone's security?
If an intelligence agency has found a vulnerability then other hackers might do as well. The NSA faced questions about whether it had found the right balance and now it may be the CIA's turn.
There will be anger in the CIA and some of that will be directed at Wikileaks.
Wikileaks has said the source of this latest cache of documents came from a former US government hacker or contractor.
But it is an organisation that the US intelligence community has claimed may have been a route for information hacked from the Democrats by the Russians during last year's election to make it into the public domain.
No doubt the CIA will be trying to establish the exact source of the latest leak and understand the timing - coming right in the middle of an intensifying row between American spies and their own president.
It will reimburse all of what it terms "reasonable out-of-pocket expenses" resulting from the major disruption which affected thousands of customers.
It will be refunding charges placed on people's accounts in error.
Customers will receive £20 if they visited the bank from 19 June - 18 July and made a transaction.
This is a payment for inconvenience caused.
Others who were inconvenienced but did not visit the bank during that period are being urged to contact their local branch and explain how they were affected.
Thousands of customers were unable to withdraw cash or access their accounts after a software upgrade on 19 June.
The computer failure affected the entire Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) group, but Ulster Bank took longest to resolve the issue.
Ten weeks after the initial problem, the bank was still warning some customers that their statements may not be correct.
The Ulster Bank has given a commitment that no customer will be left permanently out of pocket.
About half of the bank's 1.1m customers were impacted by the computer failure, which led to widespread criticism of the bank.
As a result, its chief executive Jim Brown said he would forego his bonus for 2012.
Announcing the compensation scheme on Friday, he said: "Once again, I apologise unreservedly to our customers and customers of other banks for the inconvenience this has caused and thank them for their patience as we worked to resolve this issue.
"We recognise that we have work to do to restore our customers' trust in us and we believe that this is the first step in that direction.
"We have worked with our key stakeholders to ensure the additional measures which we are taking provide a comprehensive response to customer concerns and demonstrate our commitment to making amends."
Customers seeking further information can go online, call into their local Ulster Bank branch or telephone 0800 231232.
One customer said: "They should have given £100. £20 is nothing as I was inconvenienced very much through direct debits and not being able to get my money out of the machine - having to queue in the bank and wait maybe an hour.
"It is ridiculous, given what customers went through for nearly two months, to offer them £20."
The Consumer Council said it had produced a fact sheet providing guidance on the type of expenses customers could claim for, including travel costs, telephone bills and non-financial losses such as stress.
Its chief executive, Antoinette McKeown, said Ulster Bank had to ensure this redress scheme compensated affected customers quickly, fairly and consistently.
"It is paramount that Ulster Bank communicates openly with its customers and takes the hassle of redress away from its customers," she said.
"Many Ulster Bank customers have had their daily lives severely disrupted throughout this summer and Ulster Bank need to restore customer confidence through this redress scheme.
"Throughout the crisis, the Consumer Council expressed frustration with issues of Ulster Bank's leadership, communication and clarity.
"We will continue to liaise with Ulster Bank and Financial Services Authority to ensure this redress scheme is working for affected Ulster Bank customers".
In a statement, Sinn Fein said: "This was not a compensation scheme by any stretch of the imagination, but simply a reimbursement scheme for people that have been charged as a result of the bank's failure to carry out its primary function.
"The fact that compensation for out-of-pocket expenses has been capped at £100 for all personal and SME's customers further reinforces that fact."
Earlier this month, the RBS said it had put aside £125m to pay compensation to customers affected by the computer problem.
Walsall hit the woodwork seven minutes in as Erhun Oztumer's near-post cross was met by Andreas Makris' flick but came back off the upright.
Southend twice came close as Nile Ranger left the Saddlers' defence in his wake on a 50-yard solo run but was denied by goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, who then foiled Anthony Wordsworth's 25-yard free-kick.
The Saddlers then struck the woodwork for a second time as Scott Laird's deflected cross clipped the top of the bar.
But Southend ended the first half the stronger as Wordsworth flashed one effort wide from 15 yards and saw a 25-yard rocket tipped over by a flying Etheridge.
The second half was much quieter but Etheridge made a sprawling save to foil the clean-through Stephen McLaughlin after a mix-up between Walsall defenders Matt Preston and Jason McCarthy.
Walsall almost snatched the points eight minutes from time but Shrimpers keeper Mark Oxley beat away Kieron Morris' 20-yarder.

But Southgate claims some fans would not be so tolerant towards homosexual players open about their sexuality.
He was speaking after Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard said "homosexuals are in need of a hero".
Southgate told BBC Sport: "I'm sure there might be some reaction from crowds, but within dressing rooms I think it would be accepted."
The son of former Liverpool player Glenn Hysen, Anton came out as gay in an interview with a Swedish football magazine. The 21-year-old plays for Swedish lower league side Utsiktens BK.
Despite a number of high-profile male and female athletes choosing to go public with their sexuality in recent years, the only footballer to come out as a homosexual since the late Justin Fashanu in 1990 is Anton Hysen, a Swedish lower league player.
"It will take someone who is brave enough to be open and honest," added former Middlesbrough manager Southgate in an interview with BBC's Richard Conway at a charity event for the England Footballers Foundation, which was set up in 2007 with players donating their England match fees to good causes.
"Players mix with players of different nationalities, races and religions so I don't see it being an issue in the dressing room.
"We can't control the reaction of all supporters, so unfortunately there will always be a adverse reaction to parts of society. But the honest answer is that we don't know until somebody steps forward."
Earlier this week, Lindegaard wrote in a blog that the nature of supporters on the terraces does little to encourage homosexual players to be open about their sexuality.
"Homosexuals are in need of a hero," he said.
"They are in need of someone who dares to stand up for their sexuality. But homosexuality in football is a taboo subject and the atmosphere on the pitch and in the stands is tough.
"As a footballer, I think a homosexual colleague would be afraid of the reception he could get from the fans, but my impression is that the players would not have a problem accepting a homosexual.
"The problem for me is that a lot of football fans are stuck in a time of intolerance that does not deserve to be compared with modern society's development in the last decades.
"While the rest of the world has been more liberal, civilised and less prejudiced, the world of football remains stuck in the past when it comes to tolerance."
The retired policeman was cared for by Sister of Nazareth nuns in Termonbacca, Londonderry.
It is one of 13 institutions being investigated by the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA).
Some victims groups want compensation payments before the inquiry completes it work in two years' time.
Bernard McEldowney spent 16 years at Termonbacca.
He left in 1976, aged 18, and eventually joined the police in England where he rose to the rank of inspector.
A year ago, he gave evidence to the HIA anonymously and told the inquiry that he believed the prospect of compensation from either the Sisters of Nazareth or the HIA had prompted some false allegations of abuse.
He has now decided to waive the right to anonymity and speak publicly for the first time to raise his concerns.
"The problem I have is that the real victims will be marginalised by these people who have hijacked the inquiry," he said.
But other campaigners have rejected the charge, saying people giving evidence at the inquiry have been telling the truth.
Mr McEldowney said it was time someone spoke up for the many nuns who looked after countless orphans like him.
When he gave his evidence to the Inquiry last year, Bernard McEldowney said: " I do hope that the HIA inquiry team... are keeping open the possibility of involving the police to see if they can secure and preserve evidence of a possible conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and related offences."
When he spoke to me in England, almost a year later, the former police officer said he regarded any prospect of compensation as a problem.
"It shouldn't be about money, it should be about justice. and if people are obsessed with getting money, rather than justice, then I question their motives for making the allegations in the first place," he said.
But Jon McCourt from the Northwest Survivors group in Londonderry said people had gone through trauma to give evidence to the inquiry:
"I know the experience I had, of sitting in Banbridge, and listening to people from this city give evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry.
"The toll that that was physically taking on people, emotionally taking on people, there's no way anyone was lying there."
Mr McEldowney said he was one of many children who were given the best of care by nuns at Termonbacca.
He still regards those nuns as the family he never had, then and now.
"The problem with making these allegations is that they have created new victims," he said.
"I mean there are people I know, nuns who are dead, some who are still alive.
"They were working 24/7 looking after the children, they had other responsibilities as well and yet, despite all the effort they've made .... they're now being accused of all these allegations.
"When in many cases they're dead or should be enjoying their retirement, they're having to be spoken to by the police, giving evidence to the inquiry. so, the are victims, they're the new victims, they're another set of victims we shouldn't discount."
He also said he believed false allegations could damage the legitimate claims of people who were abused in care.
"I have never denied there are victims and I have submitted statements to the inquiry and in my statements I have stressed that I know and believe that there will be victims. but my concern is that this inquiry is being hijacked by unscrupulous people."
Mr McEldowney said his views were shared by some other people who were also cared for by nuns at Termonbacca.
Manager Graham Westley confirmed he does not want to retain either player and is hopeful of making two signings before Saturday's game at Barnet.
County are bottom of League Two - six points from safety in spite of their 1-1 draw with Colchester.
"Ben Tozer's been told he can leave the club and Compton's been told he can go as well," said Westley.
"There's a few lads who are aware that they are not going to be playing a part in what we do going forward, and the best thing is that they find somewhere else to play their football."
Westley has already made nine signings during the January transfer window.
"Talks are ongoing and there's a couple who may come through before the weekend, but they won't affect selection this week," added Westley.
The former Peterborough Preston North End boss suggested there will be more players brought in later this month - "good quality, experienced lads towards the end of the window," he said.
The protesters say the president must have known about a corruption scandal in the state oil firm, Petrobras.
The political opposition say much of the alleged bribery took place when she was head of the company.
But Ms Rousseff has been exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general and denies involvement.
Most of the politicians accused of taking bribes in a kickback scheme come from the governing coalition.
After the protests, the government promised a series of measures to combat corruption and impunity.
Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo said the government saw the rallies as an "expression of democracy".
Protests have taken place across 22 Brazilian states and the federal capital, Brasilia.
The largest demonstration went ahead in Sao Paulo, a major opposition stronghold.
The estimates of how many people attended the march varied widely.
Brazilian data analysts Datafolha say almost 200,000 people marched on Avenida Paulista on Sunday evening.
But police estimated the number of participants at one million, based on aerial photographs of the area.
Many of the protesters waved Brazilian flags and wore the yellow shirts of the national football team.
They shouted slogans against corruption and the Workers' Party government.
Opposition parties have backed Sunday's protests but have not openly called for impeachment of the president, says the BBC's Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo.
Senator Aecio Neves, who was defeated by a narrow margin in October's presidential vote, issued a statement praising the protests.
He said Brazilians "went to the streets to reunite with their virtues, their values and also with their dreams".
In Brasilia a crowd of 40,000 demonstrated outside the Congress building.
In Rio de Janeiro, where Ms Rousseff won 55% of the vote in the October presidential election, police said around 25,000 people had joined a protest there.
"There's no point in complaining only on social media, we have to be here and show that we are really fed up," businesswoman Daniela Mello told AP news agency in Rio.
Friday saw supporters of President Rousseff out in force, with tens of thousands taking to the streets.
Her supporters say calls for an impeachment, less than five months after she was elected to a second four-year term, amount to a coup attempt.
The Workers' Party has been in power since President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in for his first term in January 2003.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court approved the investigation of 54 people for their alleged involvement in the kickback scheme.
The list was prepared by Attorney General Rodrigo Janot who alleged that private companies paid corrupt officials in order to get lucrative Petrobras contracts.
According to the investigation, high-profile politicians also took a share of the money siphoned off from the oil company.
Mr Junot's list includes Senate President Renan Calheiros, President of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, former Energy Minister Edison Lobao and former President Fernando Collor de Mello.
All deny corruption allegations.
The sides meet at Celtic Park on Tuesday following England's 3-1 win against Slovenia in their latest Euro 2016 qualifier on Saturday.
Scotland will be optimistic after a 1-0 win against Ireland on Friday.
"We know there are a lot of stern tests ahead of us and it starts on Tuesday night," said Hodgson.
A crowd of around 60,000 are expected to watch the latest edition of the world's oldest fixture. England won the last encounter 3-2 at Wembley in August 2013.
"The Scottish fans are exceptional, especially at Celtic Park," Hodgson added. "That is all to the good. That is what we need."
England have a 100% record in Group E after four successive wins and look set to progress to the Euro 2016 finals at a canter.
"We have done all we can do in these first four qualifying games so we are reasonably satisfied with that, but we know there is a long way to go," Hodgson said.
"A game like that in Scotland will probably tell me a little bit more about this team.
"I hope the players who get a chance to play will be able to stand up to any crowd pressure and I hope they will learn from it. Any lessons we take from it will only be valuable in the future."
West Brom striker Saido Berahino and Everton midfielder Ross Barkley are in line to start for England.
Everton defender Phil Jagielka is expected to travel despite coming off with what appeared to be an injury in the 89th minute against Slovenia.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart will not be involved after being allowed to return to Manchester City.
Southampton's Fraser Forster looks to set to start in goal on the ground where he played for Celtic for four seasons.
England's Willett needs to finish fifth to regain top spot in the Race to Dubai, but was joint 58th after failing to claim a birdie in a round of 74.
Olesen enjoyed an eagle and eight birdies as he moved to 15 under, six shots clear of Spaniard Adrian Otaegui and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee.
Otaegui had earlier broken the course record himself with a 63, before Olesen went one better.
"I feel pretty comfortable," said the leader, who won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last year and made a strong start to this season, but had missed the cut in seven of his past 10 events before this week.
Bogeys on the 16th and 18th left Masters champion Willett 16 shots adrift of Olesen.
Willett had led the money list since claiming his first major title at Augusta in April, but was overtaken by Henrik Stenson on Sunday after the Open champion was joint second in the WGC-HSBC Champions and Willett finished 75th in the 78-man field.
As part of the Made in Hull event large images were projected on buildings to tell the city's history over almost 100 years.
In Queen Victoria Square, three major buildings - the city hall, Ferens Art Gallery and the maritime museum - acted as large canvasses for the event.
The free, unticketed event ran every night from New Year's Day to 7 January.

Martin Green, director of Hull 2017, said: "It was extraordinary - I'm so glad people like the work.
"The work will keep coming but it doesn't mean anything if it doesn't have an audience.
"When I walked into the square every evening and saw it packed with people you couldn't fail to be moved by it."
The last night of the attraction was attended by 103,000 people on Saturday, organisers said.
In 2015 the Office for National Statistics put the city's total population at 258,000.
Saturday's volume of visitors caused some overcrowding on public transport and traffic congestion as people headed for the city centre.
The city's maritime past, the blitz it endured in World War Two and the heavy loss of life for Hull's trawlermen were all featured in a video projection which lasted about 10 minutes.
The city's sporting achievements and its other local heroes, including record-breaking aviator Amy Johnson, were also marked.
The Hull-born documentary filmmaker Sean McAllister was the event's creative director.
A spectacular display of fireworks launched the first day of the city's events.
Once Made in Hull finished its last projection at about 21:00 GMT on Saturday. Within hours an early-morning heavy-haulage operation started moving the city's latest attraction into place in Queen Victoria Square.
Moffat said the BBC was "right not to reward greed" after the corporation lost the rights to Channel 4.
The writer and producer said he had rejected offers from other broadcasters who wanted to air Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Moffat picked up an Emmy on Sunday for Sherlock The Abominable Bride.
He told the audience at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday: "Thank you to the BBC who we love above all bakery. British people will get that."
Last Monday, Love Productions, which makes Bake Off for the BBC, announced it had signed a new deal with Channel 4.
The following day, presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins stated they would leave the programme after the current series, which airs on BBC One.
Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry have not yet said if they are moving to Channel 4 with the show, fuelling much press speculation about its future and who might present it.
Moffat, who is a board director at Hartswood Films which produces Sherlock, said after the Emmys ceremony: "We have had offers, that's not what it's about. It should never be about that. I think the BBC was quite right not to reward greed. It's wrong."
Hartswood Films, which was also behind series including Jekyll and Coupling, is run by his mother-in-law Beryl Vertue and his wife, Sue, is also a producer and board director.
During negotiations over Bake Off, the BBC fell £10m short of the amount of money required to keep it, BBC News understands. The corporation is thought to have offered £15m per year to keep the show.
That would have been double the amount the BBC currently pays for it and its sister programmes such as An Extra Slice and the Sport Relief specials.
But it is understood Love Productions refused to entertain any offers below £25m per year.
On Monday, Grand Designs star Kevin McCloud defended the show's move to Channel 4.
"I'm excited to see how they make it their own. It will be different, it will be its own creative thing," he said.
"I can't imagine Grand Designs going anywhere. I was listening to the radio this morning when they were talking about Bake Off and I felt good to be associated with Channel 4.
"It's a very big stable. I think what is interesting for Channel 4 is the way they remake themselves and revitalise themselves.

Piotr Pawel Nowicki, who was 62 and lived in Gartly, died after a collision involving a silver Vauxhall Insignia.
The incident happened at about 17:30 on Thursday. The road was closed for several hours to allow for investigation work.
Sgt David Pirie from Police Scotland said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of all those involved."
He added: "Officers are continuing with the investigation into the collision and anyone who witnessed it and who hasn't already spoken to police is asked to contact us on 101."

It followed a referendum in May, when the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote.
From Monday onwards, registrars will be able to register same-sex marriages.
Also, the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married abroad will be automatically recognised by the state.
Same-sex couples who have already applied to register a civil partnership will be able to convert this into a marriage application.
People who are already in a civil partnership will also be able to get married within days, if they give notice of their intentions to the registrar.
However, no new applications for civil partnerships will be accepted after 16 November.
Civil partnership will only be available for a limited time for those couples who have already submitted their applications before the legislation comes into effect.
Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald signed the commencement order for the Marriage Act 2015 in Dublin Castle on Tuesday.
She said the new law would have a "profound symbolic importance" and a "real and tangible impact" on same-sex couples' family life.
"The Irish people blazed a trail on 22 May 2015 when they became the first sovereign people to choose marriage equality by popular vote," she said.
"They determined that Ireland should be characterised by solidarity and inclusiveness. They have reaffirmed the importance of marriage and family for our society."
In May's referendum, 62.1% people voted yes, while 37.9% voted no.
The Swedish title was one of 19 films competing for the prestigious Palme d'Or, in the 70th year of the festival on the French Riviera.
Prizes also went to British filmmaker Lynne Ramsay and director Sofia Coppola.
But juror Jessica Chastain said she was shocked at the way many of the films she saw at Cannes portrayed women.
Chastain, star of The Help said it was "disturbing" to see the way women were depicted on screen, saying: "The one thing I really took away from this experience was how the world views women. There are some exceptions, but for the most part I was surprised with the representation of female characters on the screen in these films.
"I hope when we include more female story-tellers we will have more of the women that I recognise in my day-to-day life, ones that are proactive, have their own agency and don't just react to the men around them - they have their own point of view."
Toni Erdmann director Maren Ade, who also sat on the jury, agreed more female directors were needed, adding: "We're missing a lot of stories they might tell."
Palme d'Or: The Square
Grand Prix: BPM (Beats per Minute)
Jury prize: Andrey Zvyagintsev, Loveless
70th anniversary award: Nicole Kidman
Best director: Sofia Coppola, The Beguiled
Best actress: Diane Kruger, In the Fade
Best actor: Joaquin Phoenix, You Were Never Really Here
Best screenplay: Joint winners Yorgos Lanthimos and Efthymis Filippou for The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Lynne Ramsay for You Were Never Really Here
Camera d'Or (best debut film): Leonor Serraille, Jeune Femme
Short film prize: A Gentle Night, Qiu Yang
Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, who chaired the jury, said the winning film was a rich and "completely contemporary" tale about "the dictatorship of being politically correct".
The director of Julieta and All About My Mother said the festival was "the birth of a lot of wonderful movies" and that he had been "completely mesmerised" by some of the films in competition.
But he appeared emotional when discussing how much he had loved Grand Prix winner BPM, which tells the story of activist group Act Up and the lack of government support for Aids sufferers in the 1990s.
"They are real heroes who saved many lives," he said, his voice breaking.
BPM had been a favourite to win the Palme d'Or, alongside bleak Russian family drama Loveless and heist thriller Good Time, with The Square an outsider.
Jury members also included Men in Black star Will Smith, South Korean director Park Chan-wook, Chinese star Fan Bingbing, Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, French actress and writer Agnes Jaoui and composer Gabriel Yared.
British filmmaker Lynne Ramsay was the joint winner of best screenplay for You Were Never Really Here, for which Joaquin Phoenix was named best actor. It tells the story of a private contractor sent to rescue a young girl from a paedophile ring, and Ramsay said it had been a "labour of love", and that "to be recognised for the writing is great".
The best director award went to Sofia Coppola for The Beguiled, a drama about an injured soldier taken in by a girls' boarding school during the American Civil War - only the second time the prize has gone to a woman.
It stars Nicole Kidman as the headmistress and the Australian actress was given a 70th anniversary award to mark the fact she had three films and one TV series shown at this year's festival.
The Square stars Claes Bang with British actor Dominic West and Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss in supporting roles. While it received good reviews, it was not tipped to win the main prize.
After winning, Ostlund said: "I think my first reaction was 'oh my God, how fantastic'. I mean I hugged the main actor that I've been working with almost for two years now. We have been struggling together and it was a very, very happy ending of that work of course."
The Square focuses on Bang's character Christian as the gallery he runs prepares for a new exhibition in the gallery's courtyard in which members of the public can stand and ask for help. Meanwhile, his private life starts to unravel after he is mugged and seeks the return of his belongings in an unorthodox way.
It received four stars from the Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin, who said that while it is a "slow burn", it has a "cumulative force that can't be resisted", while Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian gave it the same score, calling it "thrillingly weird".
The Swedish director was previously best known for Force Majeure, about a family ski trip rocked by a father's selfish reaction to an avalanche.

The presidential candidate had until midnight to repay the money, but said she had no intention of doing so.
The parliament says she wrongly used the funds to pay an aide at the National Front's headquarters in Paris.
She says she is the victim of a politically motivated vendetta.
If she does not repay the money, the parliament could now respond by withholding as much as half of her salary and allowances, which her opponents say total almost €11,000 a month.
Ms Le Pen is one of the front-runners in the French presidential election to be held in April and May. If she wins, she has promised a Brexit-style referendum on France's membership of the EU.
Polls suggest that she will make it to the run-off where she is likely to face conservative candidate Francois Fillon or centrist Emmanuel Macron.
"I will not submit to the persecution, a unilateral decision taken by political opponents... without proof and without waiting for a judgement from the court action I have started," she told Reuters news agency on Tuesday.
The money the European Parliament wants returned was used to pay the salary of Catherine Griset, a close friend of Ms Le Pen as well as her cabinet director.
The funds were conditional on Ms Griset spending most of her working time in Brussels or Strasbourg.
However, the parliament says most of her time was instead spent working in the National Front's headquarters in Paris. The party will face a second demand for 41,554 euros in wages paid to her bodyguard.
The far-right leader also tried to distance herself from financial allegations overshadowing Republican candidate Francois Fillon, who has vigorously denied that his wife was paid 834,000 euros for fake jobs.
Asked if she would pay back the money, Marine Le Pen told AFP: "To pay the money back, I'd have had to have received the funds, but my name isn't Francois Fillon."
Quite apart from her refusal to pay back the funds, the FN leader might struggle to find the money. Her party has been unable to raise funds from French banks and has had to seek financing abroad.
In 2014, the FN received a €9m loan from Russian lender First Czech-Russian Bank, which collapsed last year.
Sisu had claimed the council's £14m loan to Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), the previous operator of the Ricoh, was an illicit use of public funds.
But the Court of Appeal said there was not a good legal reason to challenge the original judgement.
Sisu said it would apply for another hearing in a bid to continue the fight.
In July, Mr Justice Hickinbottom found Sisu had, from April 2012, refused to pay rent "deliberately to distress ACL's financial position, with a view to driving down the value of ACL and thus the price of a share in it."
Coventry City Council gave ACL, at the time jointly owned by the authority and a charitable trust, the loan so it could pay off debts.
A Coventry City Council spokesman said: "We have always been confident we had a strong case and we're pleased the application, from Sisu-related companies for leave to appeal against Mr Justice Hickinbottom's High Court judgement, has been refused."
Premiership rugby team Wasps took over ACL last November.
Orange CEO Stephane Richard went to Jerusalem and met PM Benjamin Netanyahu to "clear up the confusion".
He had earlier said he wanted to end an agreement with an Israeli partner which operates in the occupied West Bank.
The comments were strongly criticised in Israel as supporting a boycott.
"It's no secret that what you said last week was interpreted by many as an attack on Israel," Mr Netanyahu told Mr Richard on Friday.
The prime minister said his government sought "real and secure peace with our neighbours the Palestinians", but that could not be achieved "by boycotts or threats of boycotts".
Reuters and the Times of Israel reported that Mr Netanyahu had instructed the Israeli ambassador to Paris not to accept a request by Mr Richard to meet in France.
Mr Richard said his comments had been taken out of context.
"I have been profoundly and personally distressed to observe the results of the misunderstanding and the distortion of my recent statements," said Mr Richard.
"I deeply regret the impact resulting from the context and interpretation of those statements."
The CEO had said in a meeting in Cairo last week that he would pull out of Israel "tomorrow morning" if contracts allowed, adding it was important to build trust with Arab countries.
Orange's Israeli affiliate, Partner Communications, controls close to 28% of Israel's mobile market.
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign group - that Israel says works to "delegitimise" the state of Israel - had also previously called on Orange to sever its ties with Partner because of work it carries out in settlements.
Israel's settlements in the occupied territories are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
The French government has a 13.45% stake in Orange. Last week French President Francois Hollande said he did not support a boycott of Israel and wanted to improve ties between the two countries. | Two rights groups have asked Israel's Supreme Court to strike down a new law retroactively legalising 3,900 settler homes built on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.

England, 21, said: "I feel I am at the stage in my career to test myself at a higher level.
"There is no doubt that will happen at Chelsea, not just during games but in every training session."
Her arrival is Chelsea's fourth signing of the close season. They have also brought in midfielders Karen Carney and Jade Bailey and goalkeeper Becky Spencer.

Ms Veil died last week, aged 89. The body of her husband, politician Antoine Veil, who died in 2013, will be moved to join hers in the mausoleum.
Writers Emile Zola, Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, and scientist Marie Curie, are among others buried in the grand neoclassical building.
Internment is reliant on a parliamentary act for "national heroes".
President Macron said the honour showed "the immense gratitude of the French people to one of its most loved children".
"You have given our lives the light you had in you and which nothing or nobody was able to extinguish," Mr Macron told mourners.
Born in Nice in 1927 as Simone Jacob, she was arrested by the Germans in 1944, alongside her family, and sent to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.
She became best known in France for her instrumental role in legalising abortion in the 1970s as minister of health, and went on to serve as the first president of an elected European Parliament.
She later re-entered French politics, returning to the cabinet in the 1990s.
In 2010, she was deemed one of the 40 "immortals" of the Académie Française - a great honour in France.
Aside from Curie, the other women honoured with a Pantheon burial are two French Resistance members, Genevieve de Gaulle-Anthonioz and Germaine Tillion.
Sophie Berthelot, the wife of chemist Marcellin Berthelot, was also allowed posthumous entry to be buried with her spouse.
An investigation into events at the post-primary school was ordered by the former minister John O'Dowd in April.
There had been ongoing industrial problems at the west Belfast school for a number of months.
The minister has not, however, indicated when the report will be made public.
The investigation was carried out by a three-person panel consisting of leading educationalist Sir Robert Salisbury, trade unionist John Corey and Belfast Metropolitan College's principal Marie-Thérèse McGivern.
Their remit included looking at staff relationships, the role of senior leadership, governance of the school and the impact of the ongoing disputes on pupils.
"I appreciate the wide interest in the report's findings and I am committed to sharing the recommendations as widely as possible," Mr Weir said.
"However, given the extent of the report, I will now take time to consider the findings and decide how best to take forward the recommendations.
"My main priority will be ensuring that all the necessary steps are taken so that the pupils of De La Salle College receive a high standard of education and the opportunity to develop to their full potential," the minister added.
The contraction, which was bigger than analysts expected, was largely due to a slump in mining activity, the figures from Statistics South Africa showed.
Gold mining saw production fall, as well as platinum and diamond mining.
Workers in platinum mines have been on strike for five months.
"This makes for grim reading," said Razia Khan at Standard Chartered Bank.
"Mining, hit by protracted industrial unrest, fell almost 25% on an annualised basis. Manufacturing was down 4.4%."
This is the first quarter of negative growth since the second quarter of 2009. In the final quarter of 2013, the economy grew by an annualised rate of 3.8%.
The rand fell by about 1% against the dollar following the release of the figures, to 10.44 rand.
Compared with a year earlier, the South African economy grew by 1.6%. GDP growth has been slowing steadily for the past three years as the economy struggles with high levels of unemployment, which currently stand at almost 25%.
Alcohol problems still amount to more than half of all substance misuse cases in Wales, according to Public Health Wales.
Heroin accounts for nearly a fifth of cases.
But is cannabis - just under 10% of cases - something we should still be worried about in Wales?
HOW MANY ARE USING CANNABIS?
Cannabis use peaks in the late teens and early 20s, and then declines with age, according to the Home Office's Crime Survey.
The most recent crime survey suggests cannabis use has dropped in Wales, with 6.1% claiming to have taken the drug in the last year.
At a high point in 2003/04, this was 10%.
Across England and Wales, 2.2 million are estimated to have taken cannabis in the last year.
This compares with an estimated 21,000 of 16 to 59 year olds taking heroin and 768,000 who took cocaine.
Men are twice as likely as women to smoke cannabis.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND CANNABIS
The latest Welsh government survey of health behaviour of pupils aged 11 to 16 in Wales found:
Across England and Wales, the number of 16 to 24 year olds using cannabis in the last year is estimated to being around 950,000. The Home Office's Crime Survey also suggests a long term "significant fall" - from 25.8% in 1996 to 16.3% in the most recent survey.
CANNABIS AND TREATMENT
Figures for referrals to drug treatment centres for cannabis show an increase over the last five years - to 1,556 people in Wales in the last year.
The average age is 20 and around half were under 19.
The numbers of the under 15s has started to fall but health officials have noticed a slight increase in those aged up to 24.
Included is the use of cannabinoids - synthetic variations of the drug - and stronger skunk cannabis.
Public Health Wales said young people may not be aware of this distinction and the issues around synthetics.
Josie Smith, head of its substance misuse programme, said: "If you've purchased it from head shop, you don't categorically know what you're taking. 130 different varieties have been identified and it can have a much more potent effect on the brain while neither its health and chronic effects are known."
Sarah Walsh, of Drugaid Cymru in south east Wales, said the number one reason for drug referrals of young people was still cannabis - both for physical and mental health issues.
"Physically, some of the young people we work with will complain of a negative impact on their chest and breathing," said Ms Walsh.
"Their concentration and motivation can also be affected which could be due to their cannabis use.
"Mental health problems can also be presented by some of the young people we work with, such as feeling paranoid or anxious.
"In some more extreme cases, we have dealt with drug-induced psychosis where cannabis has been one the drugs used by the young person. However, this has been when used with a number of other substances."
CANNABIS AND CRIME
The National Police Chiefs' Council is expected to publish a report in the next few days looking at the scale of criminal activity relating to cannabis.
Altogether in England and Wales, nearly half a million cannabis plants were seized in the last year, a drop of 11%.
In 90% of seizures, fewer than 50 plants were involved.
Figures have suggested a fall in the number of raids.
South Wales Police could not provide figures but said they are committed to enforcement regarding all illegal drugs.
Det Supt Simon Davies, head of force intelligence and organised crime at South Wales Police, said: "The cultivation of cannabis and the direct links to organised criminality are very evident and officers are regularly uncovering premises across our communities which contain many hundreds of cannabis plants.
"Arrests are frequently made and those accountable are placed before the court.
He said they wanted to encourage communities to provide intelligence "to allow us to take disruptive action".
North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Winston Roddick has pledged not to "go soft" on enforcing even smaller cannabis offences.
"My approach to drugs in general and cannabis in particular remains as it was: If the use of them is illegal according to law the police should enforce the law," he said.
"If a police force were to decide which laws to enforce and which not to enforce, it would be usurping the function of Parliament.
"The people we serve have every right to expect us to provide a professional and comprehensive service and in relation to cannabis so long as it remains an illegal drug North Wales Police will continue to enforce against its use."
THE LEGALISATION DEBATE
The question of whether cannabis should be legalised has been intensely debated in recent months.
Although the Home Office said it has no plans to change the law on cannabis, MPs debated the issue after a petition calling for legalisation drew more than 220,000 signatures.
An all-party group wants the UK to try out a controlled system where licensed premises sell labelled and tested cannabis.
Long-time campaigner for legalisation Newport West MP Paul Flynn said politicians have been cowardly over the issue.
Meanwhile, drugs smuggler turned author Howard Marks in a recent BBC interview maintains cannabis is better legalised than left to the criminal world.
PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR LEGALISATION?
The most recent YouGov poll of 1,600 people in March found 49% were against legalising cannabis; 32% were in favour and 18% did not know.
A 2013 poll for the Transform drugs policy group - which wants a controlled legalisation - found 53% backed a regulated legalisation or decriminalisation for possession and only 14% wanted tougher enforcement.
In December, Chancellor George Osborne announced that a cap restricting how many students English universities could recruit would be lifted.
Higher Education Wales said this could result in 1,500 students leaving to study over the border next year.
The Welsh government said it was too early to assess the impact on Wales.
From September an extra 30,000 places will be made available in England for 2014/15 and 60,000 places in 2015/16.
Currently, Welsh students who study outside of Wales pay the first £3,500 of their tuition fees, while the Welsh government pays the rest.
With English universities charging £8,000 a year on average in tuition fees, this costs the Welsh government £4,500 per student.
This means the 7,370 students from Wales who will start university courses in other parts of the UK this year could take more than £33m with them - money which could otherwise be used in the higher education sector here.
A document sent to Higher Education Wales (HEW) says the changes could see an extra £7.1m go to English institutions by 2015/16.
The paper, leaked to BBC Wales, calculates that between 2% and 2.5% of students in England are from Wales, so by 2015 an extra 1,500 students could leave to study over the border.
Last year Prof Colin Riordan, chairman of HEW, said that if the money the Welsh government currently paid in tuition fee grants to other UK countries was spent in Wales, it could be used to improve their research capacity and upgrade the support available to students.
In November, Education Minister Huw Lewis announced a major review into higher education and student finance.
He said it was right to take stock at a time of "rapid and unpredictable change" facing universities.
Responding to the leaked document to HEW, the Welsh government said changes to student number controls in England would not necessarily result in a higher numbers of Welsh students choosing to study over the border.
"When we know more we'll be in a position to comment further, but at this point we're not convinced that this decision is sustainable in the long term and there's nothing to suggest applications to Welsh HEIs (higher education institution) will be affected," said a spokesman.
"Supporting higher education continues to be a priority for us, and in 2014/15 over £362m will be made available to Welsh universities via the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW).
"A recent WAO (Wales Audit Office) report confirmed that thanks to our tuition fee policy, income to the higher education sector in Wales will continue to grow, from £1.26bn in 2011/12 to £1.45bn in 2015/16, despite the cuts imposed on us by the UK government."
Officials in the Welsh government also point out that more money comes into Welsh universities with English students than which leaves Wales - and that Welsh institutions get above-inflation increases in funding every year.
Dr David Blaney, HEFCW chief executive, said the proposed 30,000 increase in places in England in 2014/15 was likely to create further opportunities for prospective students, including those domiciled in Wales, to study in England.
"It is, though, too soon to be clear about the scale of the impact of these changes in terms of the additional number of Welsh domiciles who will be accepted at English universities," he added.
Breel Embolo and Ahmed Mehmedi scored first-half goals for the hosts, who had Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka sent off in stoppage time.
Portugal were missing Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Real Madrid forward injured since July's Euro 2016 final.
Beaten finalists France got their own campaign off to a slow start with a 0-0 Group A draw in Belarus.
Elsewhere in that group, Sweden held the Netherlands to a 1-1 draw with a Wesley Sneijder goal cancelling out a chip from Marcus Berg.
Bulgaria beat Luxembourg 4-3 thanks to an injury-time winner from former Aston Villa winger Aleksandar Tonev.
Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez won his first competitive match as Belgium manager with a 3-0 victory in Cyprus.
Martinez's side had been booed by some Belgian fans after a 2-0 defeat by Spain in a friendly last week, but a double from Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku and a late third from Yannick Carrasco gave them three points.
Despite the win, they are third in Group H after the first round of matches.
Edin Dzeko was among the scorers as Bosnia-Herzegovina hammered Estonia 5-0, while Greece eased to a 4-1 win over Gibraltar in Portugal.
In Asian qualifying, former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill came off the bench to give Australia a 1-0 win over the United Arab Emirates.
The 36-year-old drilled home a cross from Bournemouth's Brad Smith with his first touch after coming on.
The Socceroos made it two wins from two games to go top of Group B, ahead of Saudi Arabia, who beat Iraq 2-1 in a game that was played in Malaysia because of security issues in Iraq.
Seren Bernard, 14, was found dead in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, in April 2012.
She had lived with foster carers from December 2011 until her death.
During the fourth day of the Milford Haven hearing on Thursday, social worker Wendy Rodriques said Seren "engaged well" with professionals involved in her care.
She said the teenager had people caring for her that she could trust, that Seren's foster parents had formed a good relationship with her and she had an adult she could speak to at school.
The hearing was told on Tuesday that Seren said she had "no aspirations" in the weeks leading up to her death.
A serious case review last year found her death under the care of social services might not have been preventable and police ruled out crime.
The inquest will resume on 15 June.
Speaking to Wake Up To Money on BBC Radio 5 live, Mr German revealed he had told VW about his findings in May 2014, but the company had failed to fix the problem.
He now thinks cars produced by other brands should be investigated for the emissions-cheating "defeat device" software found in some VWs.
John German is the US co-lead of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to reducing vehicle emissions.
He told Wake Up To Money the story of how they got started with their investigation.
"There's been a consistent stream of data suggesting that diesel cars in Europe have high NOx (nitrogen oxides and dioxides) emission," he says.
"So we had this bright idea - let's look at US where the emissions standards are more stringent.
We thought the cars there would be clean, and we could take the results to Europe and say, 'hey look, they're clean in the US, why can't you do it in Europe?'"
'Something wrong'
On 20 September, VW's then chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, issued a public apology, admitting to "breaking the trust" of customers.
But as Mr German explained, his ICCT organisation had been investigating VW since 2013.
To put it simply, Mr German and his team abandoned standard emissions lab tests and instructed researchers to take their cars - a VW Passat and Jetta, and a BMW X5 - out on the roads to simulate ordinary driving conditions.
What they found - with a machine in the cars' boot and probe down the exhaust pipe - was explosive.
"When [the researchers] first saw it they thought there was something wrong with their equipment," says Mr German.
"We found high - very high - emissions in the real world.
"The Passat had emissions five to 20 times the standard. The Jetta was worse. It was 15-35 times the standard.
"And then when they got to the X5, they were recording very, very low emissions again - so they were like 'OK - it wasn't our equipment'."
The data was clear enough, but Mr German didn't want to pre-judge an enquiry.
"While we suspected it might be a defeat device we never said that, and we turned our data over to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and let them do the investigation.
"The words 'defeat device' are not something you ever say unless you're certain."
'Completely inexplicable'
Mr German finished his report and turned over all his team's data to the EPA in May 2014.
He says he also sent a courtesy copy to Volkswagen.
Then in December 2014, the EPA announced VW was issuing a software fix to solve some vehicles' emissions problems.
Mr German says: "[VW] swore up and down to the agencies that this would fix the problem.
"But CARB went out in May [2015] and tested some of the vehicles with the fix and the emissions were still very high.
"VW tried to offer a lot of other explanations for the high emissions for a very long period of time. It wasn't until September 2015 that they finally admitted to the agencies there was a defeat device."
Mr German resists being drawn when asked what action should be taken against VW. "I'm just a simple engineer from Michigan - I don't get into that," he says.
But he is clear on one thing.
"This is the part that I find to be completely inexplicable. VW had a chance to fix it, and yet they continued to try and hide the fact they had a defeat device."
Having discovered the fault in VW, Mr German now thinks wider questions needs to be asked.
"We do not have any data or information that suggests any other manufacturer also is using a defeat device," he says. "But it absolutely needs to be investigated."
A single parent family with two children needs to pay £99 a week and a pensioner living alone faces a bill of £57.05.
Food poverty is complex, said Sharon Gilmore of the Northern Ireland Food Standards Agency.
But the sharp cost of healthy choices means some end up nutritionally poor.
"Low income households here need to spend up to 44% of their weekly take home income in order to purchase a minimum acceptable standard of food, while also meeting their nutrition and social needs," said Ms Gilmore, head of standards and dietary health with the agency.
"Food poverty is complex. It affects those living on low incomes, with limited access to transport and poor cooking skills while many people in the same situation continue to have a healthy diet in spite of these obstacles."
The survey on the Cost of a Healthy Food Basket was carried out by Safefood, the Food Standards Agency in Northern Ireland and the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland.
It compared the cost of a healthy food basket for four of the most common household types in Northern Ireland.
It is the second report, following up on a study in 2014. Despite a slight drop in the cost of food and alcohol since then, the challenge of eating well and still meeting all other weekly household bills is high for people on low incomes, the report suggests.
A family of four on jobseeker's allowance needs to spend 44% of their total weekly income on food, says the report, while a single parent with two children needs to spent 32% and a pensioner needs to spend 34%.
The report's authors said the struggle to eat well is reflected by a greater reliance on food banks.
"From January to April 2016, 25,755 three-day emergency food supplies were given to people in crisis by the Trussell Trust food banks," says the report.
"This is a considerable increase from the 254 food supplies provided in the year to April 2012."
Safefood's Dr Cliodhna Foley-Nolan said: "Families on a low-income tend to eat less well and have poorer health outcomes with higher levels of obesity.
"In general, cheaper foods and takeaways are simply less nutritious. This presents a real challenge for parents when it comes to food shopping and planning for the week."
The consumer council said it was committed to tackling food poverty in Northern Ireland.
"This second piece of research is welcome evidence showing the true cost of a basic but healthy food basket in Northern Ireland," said Philippa McKeown-Brown from the council.
"Food prices may have fallen since the first food basket report, however low income consumers continue to struggle to afford a healthy, balanced diet.
"The Consumer Council will continue to work closely with Food Standards Agency in NI, Safefood and the All-island Food Poverty Network to help inform the debate and actions needed to tackle food poverty here."
The survey asked consumers to select an acceptable food basket in terms of taste and menu choices, while also meeting the social needs of a household, such as hosting visitors or special occasions.
The food baskets were reviewed by nutritionists from Ulster University to make sure they met the nutritional guidelines of The Eatwell Guide and are price-checked accordingly.
The 24-year-old former Arsenal player has been playing in Russia since September 2014 for FC Ufa.
He made eight appearances last season and was sent off twice.
One of his red cards came for he made an offensive gesture towards Spartak Moscow supporters after he believed he had been the victim of racist abuse.
Spartak did not receive any disciplinary action, while the player was given a two-game suspension.
In April 2016, his contract was ended by mutual consent.
Arsenal Tula won promotion back to the Russian Premier League and have three points from two matches.
They'll spend a few days on vacation at a California desert resort before, as Mr Obama tweeted from his personal account, getting "back to work".
And, for Democrats, there's a lot of hard work to be done. With Mr Obama's departure, the party is only just beginning its long journey in the political wilderness.
Democrats have lost Congress. They've been decimated in state legislatures. Their hoped-for liberal majority on the Supreme Court was blocked by intransigent Senate Republicans. And now the presidency is gone, as well.
In the days ahead, the party that thought it had time and demographics on its side, that saw Mr Obama's coalition of young, ethnic and educated voters as a durable governing majority, will try to figure out what, exactly, went wrong.
Ironically enough, some liberals are looking at the Tea Party grass-roots conservative movement that emerged in the months after Mr Obama became president in 2009 as a model for their path back to power.
At the time, many on the left mocked the impromptu outbursts of conservative protest - which bedevilled Democratic politicians at constituent meetings - as ill-conceived, uninformed or ineffective. Now, they point to recent efforts to confront Republican legislators over attempts to repeal Mr Obama's healthcare reform as signs of life in a dispirited party.
Democrats face a tough challenge in the days ahead. They have to settle on a leader for their national committee - resolving an ideological battle between left-wing populists and those who preach continued Obama-style moderation and incrementalism.
They need to devise a strategy to win back Congress, complicated by the fact they have to defend 10 Senate seats in states that Donald Trump won in the upcoming 2018 mid-term congressional elections. And, before too long, candidates for the 2020 presidential nomination will begin jockeying for position.
More than anything else, however, they need to begin rebuilding their party on the local and state level. Mr Obama's successes glossed over a party that is bereft of young leaders working their way up through the ranks.
At the moment, the Democratic Party is a skeleton of its former self. Until they put some meat on its bones, memories of the 2008 hope that Obama ushered in - that they were a party of destiny - will seem to liberals like a cruel joke.
The 28-year-old quit the game at the end of last season, having taken 170 wickets across all formats.
But he played for Northants' second XI last week and was included in their squad for the Division Two match against Worcestershire.
Carter took three wickets in 10 balls - including England's Moeen Ali - during the first day's play.
The Bears added 37 to their overnight score in 10 overs, losing Tim Ambrose for 50 before declaring 174 ahead on 381-8, with Keith Barker not out on 43.
With 84 overs to bat, Durham lost Keaton Jennings, who edged Barker.
But Borthwick (92) and Stoneman (80) helped their side reach 195-3.
Their fifth century partnership for Durham was a welcome return to form for Borthwick, whose form has dipped since he was reported to be back on the England selectors' radar earlier in the summer.
He departed only five balls before hands were shaken just before 17:00 BST, when Bears seamer Rikki Clarke foxed him by coming on to bowl off spin.
Clarke's first ball was so wide of off stump that Borthwick could not resist flailing at it, only to get a big inside edge into his stumps.
Warwickshire's 11 points from the draw leave them fifth in County Championship Division One, four points ahead of seventh-placed Durham.
With a game in hand too, Durham are now 35 points ahead of bottom side Nottinghamshire, who they host at Chester-le-Street next Wednesday.
Dougie Brown's Bears have two days to prepare for Monday's One-Day Cup semi-final against Somerset at Edgbaston.
Durham batsman Scott Borthwick told BBC Radio Newcastle:
"It's always nice to bat with Mark Stoneman. It's been a while since we put a stand together.
"I've never felt out of form, but in the last few games good balls have got me out.
"The pitch got firmer and better to bat on. It properly finished the way it was meant to start, but it had spent two days under covers because of the rain."
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM:
"We came in this morning excited about our opportunity considering the amount of movement there had been in the pitch. But it was not to be.
"This was a better day for batting, whereas yesterday would have been a good day to bowl.
"It seems to be a trend of the season that every time we get in a good position the weather gets in the way."
It was the first time the world's largest passenger plane had landed at Cardiff and BA hopes it will prove the airport can cope in the event of a diversion.
BA has a maintenance base at Cardiff Airport, employing hundreds of workers.
The A380's wings are made at Broughton in Flintshire.
The A380 aircraft, which landed at just after 09:00 BST and left at about 14:15 BST, flew into Cardiff as part of its preparations for long-haul operations.
Pilots and cabin crew working on the British Airways Airbus A380 based in Kent have been making test flights.
The carrier has spent £10bn upgrading its long-haul fleet and is the first UK airline to take delivery of the A380 superjumbo.
The company has ordered 12.
Cardiff Airport was sold to the Welsh government for £52m in the spring.
First Minister Carwyn Jones had been critical of the airport after a slump in passenger numbers from a peak of two million in 2007 to just over one million in 2012.
Cardiff Airport chief executive Jon Horne said there could be a potential for long haul flights from the city's airport.
"I think what British Airways are looking at is very much using Cardiff as a potential diversion," Mr Horne told BBC Radio Wales.
"They use us at the moment with their existing aircraft fleet.
"With the A380, it's not every airport in the UK that can take that aircraft so we're in a very good position and I would expect to see it from time to time operating into Cardiff."
Asked about the potential for long haul flights from the airport, Mr Horne said those opportunities were driven by markets and there are many other aircraft types which could fulfil them.
"But clearly some of those carriers that we're thinking about also operate the A380, so having the airport capable of taking that aircraft as well clearly enhances our chances going forward."
Staff at British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC) - which employs more than 800 people - were able to view the fleet's latest arrival.
The base uses the airport's runway.
Speaking before the aircraft landed, BAMC general manager Bill Kelly said: "This will be the first time that we've had an aircraft (A380) in the British Airways livery landing here at Cardiff Airport. This is a really exciting time for us, for British Airways and for the airport.
"Today's very much about testing the aircraft, testing the airport's procedures should we need to use this airfield in a diversion, and celebrating its introduction into service."
Each A380 will carry 469 passengers and the first commercial flights are due to begin in autumn 2013.
The 72m (236ft) long aircraft stands at 24m (78ft), and has a range of 9,500 miles (15,000km).
Singapore Airlines was the first carrier to operate an A380, with its first flight taking place in October 2007.
Fe ddywedodd Ann Clwyd, sydd wedi cynrychioli Cwm Cynon yn San Steffan am 33 blynedd, bod ei dadl o blaid rhyfel yn ymwneud â hawliau dynol yn hytrach nag arfau dinistriol.
Ychwanegodd bod ei hymweliadau cyson ag Irac wedi ei dychryn yn fawr ac ar adegau roedd hi'n poeni am ei diogelwch.
Roedd Ms Clwyd yn siarad â rhaglen Sunday Supplement, Radio Wales a hynny ar drothwy cyhoeddi ei bywgraffiad, Rebel With a Cause.
"Roedd nifer o'm ffrindiau yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin - y rhai a oedd ar ochr chwith y Blaid Lafur - yn gwrthwynebu y rhyfel ond eto roeddent yn cytuno â mi bod fy nadl i yn ymwneud â hawliau dynol.
Dywedodd bod ei chyfnod yn San Steffan wedi cael ei reoli gan faterion yn ymwneud â hawliau dynol - yn enwedig cefnogaeth i'r Cwrdiaid yn Irac.
"Dwi'n gwybod dim am arfau dinistriol," ychwanegodd.
"Roeddwn i yno yn Chwefror 2003 ychydig cyn y rhyfel ac am y tro cyntaf erioed fe ddywedodd y Cwrdiaid wrthyf nad oes ffordd arall - gan olygu bod angen cymorth arnynt.
"Rydym wedi'u helpu i ail-adeiladu cymdeithas ddinesig ac wedi'u hyfforddi i sefyll mewn etholiadau. Mi es i i'r etholiad cyntaf ar ôl Saddam ac rwy'n ymwybodol o'n hymdrechion ni a'r Americanwyr i ail-adeiladu cymdeithas Iracaidd."
'Ofn'
Dywedodd ei bod wedi hedfan i Irac 25 o weithiau ers y rhyfel.
"Doedden ni ddim yn gwybod yn iawn pryd oedd yr awyrennau yn gadael Kuwait," meddai Ms Clwyd.
"Roedd angen i ni fod yn barod i fynd a hedfan yn y tywyllwch ac yn aml roedd rhaid newid llwybr yr awyren er mwyn osgoi peryglon fel taflegrau ar y ddaear.
"Roedd 'na rai adegau pan roeddwn i wirioneddol yn ofnus ond, am wn i, rwy' wastad wedi bod yn un sy'n hoffi mentro."
Dywedodd Ms Clwyd, sy'n feirniadol o'r arweinydd Llafur Jeremy Corbyn, nad yw'n edifar ganddi newid ei meddwl am sefyll yn etholiad 2015.
Yn wreiddiol roedd hi wedi penderfynu peidio sefyll ond mae Mr Corbyn angen teyrngarwch, ychwanegodd.
"Rwyf i wedi cadeirio'r Blaid Lafur, " meddai wedyn, ac mae 'na wastad elfen o eisiau cael gwared ar arweinydd plaid - ac allai'm dweud wrthoch sawl gwaith y digwyddodd hynny o dan fy nghadeiryddiaeth i.
"Ond mae'r person hwnnw wedi cael ei ethol yn arweinydd y blaid a'n dyletswydd ni yw ei gefnogi ... Jeremy Corbyn yw'r arweinydd a mae'n rhaid iddo gael ein teyrngarwch."
The declassification was made in the "interest of increased transparency", intelligence officials said.
But significant parts of the three released documents were redacted.
Meanwhile the father of Edward Snowden, who leaked information about the surveillance, says the FBI has asked him to go to Moscow to see his son.
Also on Wednesday, the UK's Guardian newspaper published slides leaked by Edward Snowden that detail a secret US surveillance system known as XKeyscore.
It reportedly enables American intelligence to monitor "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet".
The programme includes real-time data and suggests analysts could narrow searches through use of so-called metadata also stored by the National Security Agency (NSA), America's electronic intelligence organisation, the newspaper reports.
The official US documents released on Wednesday include a court order describing how the data from the phone-snooping programme would be stored and accessed.
Two reports to US lawmakers on the telephone and email records were also declassified.
But lines in the files, including details on "selection terms" used to search the massive data stores, were blacked out.
Deputy Attorney General James Cole told a Senate judiciary committee hearing on Wednesday that the court order spells out how the government can use call data obtained from telecom giants such as Verizon.
For the first time, the government acknowledged publicly that by using what it calls "hop analysis" it can scour the phone calls of millions of Americans in the hunt for just one suspect.
NSA analysts could use the records of everyone a suspect calls, as well as everyone who contacts the contacts of contacts of the initial suspect.
If the average person calls 40 unique people, such three-hop analysis could allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspected terrorist.
Senator Richard Durbin said: "What's being described as a very narrow programme is really a very broad programme."
But the head of the NSA, General Keith Alexander, remained unapologetic about the agency's methods at a hacker conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, insisting the programme had prevented attacks on the US.
Wednesday's was the first congressional session on the issue since the House narrowly rejected a proposal effectively to shut down the NSA's secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans' phone records.
The National Security Agency (NSA) began collecting Americans' phone records in 2001, as part of far-reaching surveillance programmes launched by then-President George W Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
But the scope of the practice, continued under President Barack Obama, only became apparent in June when ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden leaked classified US surveillance files. It emerged that a US secret court had ordered phone company Verizon to hand over to the NSA the phone records of tens of millions of American customers.
This information, known as metadata, includes the numbers of the originating and receiving phone, the call's duration, time, date and location (for mobiles, determined by which mobile signal towers relayed the call or text). The contents of the conversation itself, however, are not covered, US intelligence officials say. The surveillance applies to calls placed within the US, and calls between the US and abroad.
Q&A: Prism internet surveillance
During the early parts of the hearing, NSA deputy director John Inglis said "no" when asked if anyone had been fired over the leak.
"No-one has offered to resign," Mr Inglis said. "Everyone is working hard to understand what happened."
Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the committee, also questioned the deputy director on the number of attacks the agency said had been disrupted by the programmes.
"If this programme is not effective it has to end. So far, I'm not convinced by what I've seen," said Sen Leahy, who cited "massive privacy implications" of keeping phone call records.
Gen Alexander has said phone and internet surveillance disrupted 54 schemes by militants.
Sen Leahy said a list of the relevant plots provided to Congress did not reflect dozens, as he said, "let alone 54 as some have suggested".
Mr Inglis said the phone surveillance helped disrupt or discover attacks 12 times, and the larger number were foiled thanks to both the phone-records snooping and a second programme collecting global internet users' data.
Meanwhile, Edward Snowden's father, Lon, told Russian state TV he does not believe his son would get a fair trial in America and that the fugitive should stay in Russia.
In the interview, the elder Snowden thanked the Russian authorities for keeping his son safe and advised the 29-year-old "to find a safe haven".
Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, has been stuck in a transit area at a Moscow airport for more than a month after the US revoked his travel documents.
Norton will co-host the show alongside Tess Daly, Rochelle and Marvin Humes, Greg James and Ade Adepitan.
Sir Terry fronted the broadcast every year from its first appearance in 1980. But he pulled out last year due to ill health and died two months later.
Chat show host Norton said it was a "huge privilege" to step in.
"This year we'd love to raise as much money as we possibly can in honour of the late Sir Terry Wogan," he said.
It is the first time Norton has appeared as a presenter on the appeal. Sir Terry was replaced by Dermot O'Leary for the 2015 show.
Strictly Come Dancing's Daly, who has previously presented the show alongside Sir Terry, said it was an "honour and pleasure" to work on Children in Need again and "make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK".
Former Paralympian Ade Adepitan said: "When I was a kid, Children in Need had a fundraiser at Stoke Mandeville - I was playing wheelchair basketball there.
"They made me and all the other kids feel really special, the money raised helped to buy wheelchairs and gave my friends opportunities to play sport. It was also cool to think we might get on TV.
"So, to now be part of the presenting team is such an honour and so exciting. I can't wait - it's going to be an incredible night!"
Rochelle Humes said she would "never forget the amazing experience of presenting Children in Need with Sir Terry Wogan".
Her husband Marvin - who has previously appeared on the show with boy band JLS - said: "I've always been a huge fan of Children in Need and have great memories of watching the night of TV growing up and of course, performing with the JLS boys."
BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James, also hosting for the first time, said: "It's an honour to be hosting Children in Need this year. It does such great work and makes a huge difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK."
The programme will be broadcast live on BBC One on 18 November from the BBC's Elstree Studios.
Director of BBC content Charlotte Moore said: "I know the nation will dig deep and do the late Sir Terry Wogan proud with their generous fundraising."

About 105,000 people paid £3 to sign up as "registered supporters" and overwhelmingly backed Mr Corbyn.
Labour peer Lord Collins told the BBC that the system introduced in 2014 had created a "transactional relationship" between the party and some voters.
The previous electoral college system gave more power to unions and MPs.
Guide to the Labour leadership election
Former Labour general secretary Lord Collins was speaking to the BBC on the eve of another Labour leadership contest result - as Mr Corbyn defends his leadership against a challenge from Owen Smith, having lost the confidence of the bulk of his own MPs.
In Labour leadership elections before 2015, MPs, affiliated union members and party members had one third of the vote each.
But that was criticised for giving too much influence to the trade unions and was changed to a "one member one vote" system, under then leader Ed Miliband in 2014.
Lord Collins, a former Labour general secretary, led a review in 2013 which recommended opening up the leadership contest to Labour supporters in the country at large, as registered supporters.
The peer said the changes had had unforeseen consequences.
"A lot of things were untested," he said.
"My biggest disappointment is that the registered supporter became a transactional relationship which I thought was really wrong.
"A transactional relationship which is, well, "buy a vote" - "buy a vote for the leader of the Labour party" when in fact it was about building a relationship over time."
Deputy leader Tom Watson has led calls for a rethink of the process, saying the involvement of registered supporters had been "rushed and unpopular".
Lord Collins said Mr Watson had been right to call for a greater role for MPs in future leadership elections.
"Being a member of the Labour Party isn't about paying money and getting a vote.
"Being a member of the Labour Party is about shared values and wanting to change society and wanting to develop society."
Asked whether he felt regret over any of his reforms, Lord Collins said "of course", before adding that the circumstances the party found itself in at the time were very difficult and he was proud his report had brought people together.
The Labour peer said a system in which a leader could remain in place with the support of only 20% of his MPs was "not sustainable".
He said: "That's not going to change by whoever wins on Saturday - that's an issue we've got to continue to address."
The current leadership contest, the result of which will be announced on Saturday, has used the same rules.
This time around, however, those wanting a one-off vote in the contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith had to pay £25. It is thought that 129,000 applications were accepted following a vetting process.
Supporters of the new rules say they have massively increased the Labour Party's membership and wider support base. The latest official figures, from August, showed the party has 515,000 members although reports have suggested it has now grown to about 550,000.
Mr Corbyn has said there is a "thirst for democracy" in the party and the country and the widest number of people should be allowed a say in the election of a leader.
Have I got your full attention?
Probably not. And that's especially true if you are looking at this in your office.
Finding focus is a something almost everyone has to deal with. And research figures in the US show that in the workplace we are having more and more trouble keeping both internal and external stimuli at bay.
Blame it on technology.
Professor Gloria Mark of the Department of Informatics at the University of California says email, social media, notifications and countless other digital distractions are eroding our ability to concentrate on individual tasks in the 21st Century.
"Back in 2004 we followed American information workers around with stopwatches and timed every action," she says.
"They switched their attention every three minutes on average. In 2012, we found that the time spent on one computer screen before switching to another computer screen was one minute 15 seconds.
"By the summer of 2014 it was an average of 59.5 seconds."
Academics and scientists are becoming increasingly interested in the effects of technology in the work place.
This is perhaps because there is relatively little research available about the impact of websites like Twitter and Facebook, or games like Candy Crush, that seem to be deliberately aimed at keeping us constantly engaged, to the detriment of work.
Cultural anthropologists, such as associate professor Natasha Dow Schull from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), point to the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who several decades ago crystallised the idea of "flow".
Prof Schull says there are several characteristics of a focused state that Mr Csikszentmihalyi identified.
"It's to do with having a sense of control. It's about having a choice to be drawn into something compelling, and it doesn't exceed your capabilities or leave you feeling confused and frustrated that you don't know how to do it," she says.
"To get 'flow' your activity needs to match your ability. But I have found in my own work to think about focus as not being all on you and to recognise it can be affected by your environment."
"Flow" is the basis of a streaming audio service called Focus@will.
It aims to blend into the background so successfully the listener is unaware of its presence, whilst keeping their mind in a prolonged flow state.
Founded by Will Henshall, a member of the original Londonbeat dance group that had a hit with I've Been Thinking About You, the service remixes music of various types and speeds.
Most tracks start off as a basic instrumental, but then are completely re-engineered.
"We discovered it's not only vocals but instruments that sound like a human voice that are also pretty distracting," he says.
"A good example would be a cello. Also, no saxophones, bassoons, synth sounds and no lead electric guitars. About forty other elements are tagged because they affect the non-conscious mind."
That's why listening to your favourite tracks on Spotify or Pandora might have the opposite effect.
If you love a tune, you'll recognise it and get distracted by it, even momentarily. And that's all it takes to lose concentration.
Focus@will claims about two thirds of the population can benefit. But the rest do not find the service useful at all.
There are channels called Uptempo and Alpha Chill, as well as drumming and coffee shop atmospheres.
For people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder there's one called ADHD Type 1. About 4% of members listen to nothing else, but to those people who do not have ADHD, the channel is almost unbearable.
"We are constantly tuning our back-end algorithm," says Mr Henshall.
In-house research has found about half of listeners can concentrate non-stop for about an hour. And about 20% can stay focused for up to two.
The site's algorithms deliver a personal stream of music, taking into account responses to some initial questions, as well as how long you have been listening. It also adapts to individual usage over time.
Mr Henshall reports anecdotally that using a walking treadmill desk setup in conjunction with streaming audio seems to increase the level of focus for some people.
Peter Schenk, president of Lifespan Fitness, which produces treadmills specifically for walking, says there is now an increasing number of research projects that indicate strolling on the spot for at least some of the day is beneficial for the mind.
"A recent Canadian study showed the connection between treadmill desks and improved memory and concentration," he says.
"Another new study covered treadmill desks and attention to detail. And a University of Minnesota study that became a major reference point showed the connection between treadmill desks and increased productivity."
The onslaught of digital distractions and an increasing number of stay-at-home workers might also be one reason why there are so many tools and apps marketed under the "improve your focus" banner.
Some, like The Pomodoro Technique developed by Francesco Cirillo, have been around for many years.
It involves setting a kitchen timer or digital equivalent to 25 minutes and calling it a Pomodoro.
It might take several Pomodoros to complete a project but each one must be distraction free.
In-between Pomodoros a five-minute break is taken.
The idea is to enhance concentration, reach a goal in stages and finish everything, instead of allowing a task to become too overwhelming.
A quick look in various app stores reveals an increasing number of software solutions that block websites, quickly cover a busy computer desktop or temporarily disable distracting apps.
They come with titles like FocusMask, OneFocus, Concentrate, B-social and SelfControl.
Researchers say while technology has had a detrimental impact on office concentration, they have some hope something positive will come from this new era of experimentation with services, apps and devices designed to increase attention spans.
It seems like a good idea - as long as we can keep our minds on it, of course.
British goods including soft drinks, vitamins and baby products are in the 30 containers carried by the train, which will be a regular service.
The DP World locomotive left its terminal in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, for Zhejiang province, eastern China.
After going through the Channel Tunnel, the train will pass through seven other countries before arriving on 27 April.
They are France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan.
The operators say it is cheaper to send goods by train than by air and faster than by sea.
The service is part of China's "one belt, one road" programme aimed at reviving the ancient Silk Road trading routes with the West, dating back more than 2,000 years.
The first rail freight service in the opposite direction, from China to the UK, arrived three months ago.
UK international trade minister Greg Hands said the rail link "shows the huge global demand for quality UK goods".
Xubin Feng, chairman of Yiwu Timex Industrial Investment Co, which is organising the service, said restoring the Silk Road route was "an important and exciting initiative".
"We have great faith in the UK as an export nation and rail provides an excellent alternative for moving large volumes of goods over long distances faster," he said.
DP World chief executive Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said it was a "significant trade occasion".

The 55km cable is the only connection between the Isles of Scilly and the National Grid.
It failed on Monday and it could be at least a further ten days before it is fixed.
Western Power Distribution (WPD) said the fault is 17km from Land's End. The generators were operational within two minutes of the cable failing.
WPD has chartered a specialist ship from Global Marine Systems to carry out the repairs.
The CS Sovereign will travel from Portland, Dorset, on Wednesday, at which point WPD hopes the repairs will be completed within a week.
A remotely-operated underwater vehicle (ROV) will be deployed to the seabed to cut the cable, which will then be lifted to the surface for repairs.
John Nesbitt, distribution manager for West Cornwall with WPD, said: "There's a constant fuel supply for the generators. This was always the contingency plan and it's working well."
It's not known what has caused the damage to the cable.
It said 17 soldiers, including four officers, and more than 100 militants were killed.
Some reports, citing local officials, put the army death toll far higher.
Near-simultaneous raids were launched on at least five military checkpoints and a police station in and around Sheikh Zuweid on Wednesday morning.
The attack was one of the largest co-ordinated assaults yet by IS in Sinai.
Eyewitness reported seeing militants roaming the streets of the northern town on Wednesday, clashing with armed forces.
An Egyptian military spokesman, Brig-Gen Mohammed Samir, told state TV later that the situation was "100% under control".
Jihadists based in the restive region stepped up their attacks after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013. At least 600 police and armed forces personnel have since been killed.
In a separate development on Wednesday, security officials said nine members of Mr Morsi's now banned Muslim Brotherhood, including former MP Nasr al-Hafi, had been killed in a police raid on a flat in western Cairo.
The security situation in Egypt has worsened since the assassination of the public prosecutor, Hisham Barakat, two days ago in the capital.
The attack in Sheikh Zuweid is one of the biggest of its kind targeting the army in Sinai.
Eyewitnesses say IS-affiliated militants are roaming the streets, raising the flags of the extremist group. But it is always hard to verify any story in Sinai.
The army has enforced a total media blackout on the area since it intensified its fight against jihadists in 2013.
These latest assaults prove that the battle is still far from over. The long military operation, which was meant to restore peace to Sinai has, so far, failed to uproot extremism.
President Sisi has vowed to accelerate his crackdown against the "terrorists", a broad term which does not only include extremist fighters in Sinai, but possibly all Islamists.
But many are questioning how effective his military solution is.
Gen Samir said more than 70 "terrorists" fired mortar rounds and detonated a car bomb in attacks on five checkpoints in the Sheikh Zuweid area of North Sinai province on Wednesday morning.
Security and army officials told the Associated Press that at least 50 troops had been killed and 55 wounded, and that several had also been taken captive.
Sources meanwhile told the Reuters news agency that at least 36 soldiers, policemen and civilians had been killed along with 38 militants.
Dr Osama el-Sayed of El-Arish General Hospital was cited by Reuters as saying 30 bodies had been brought in, "some of whom were wearing army fatigues".
Islamic State's local affiliate, Sinai Province, later said in a statement posted online that it had targeted 15 security sites and carried out three suicide attacks.
Earlier in the day, officials told AP that dozens of policemen were inside Sheikh Zuweid's main police station, which they said was coming under mortar- and RPG-fire.
"We are not allowed to leave our homes. Clashes are ongoing. A short while ago I saw five [Toyota] Landcruisers with masked gunmen waving black flags," Sheikh Zuweid resident Suleiman al-Sayed told Reuters.
The militants were also reported to have planted bombs along a road between Sheikh Zuweid and a nearby army camp to prevent reinforcements arriving.
North Sinai has been under a state of emergency and a curfew since October, when an attack on a checkpoint in El-Arish left dozens of soldiers dead.
Police and army patrols have been increased and additional checkpoints have been set up. In addition, a buffer zone along the border with Gaza has been created by demolishing houses and destroying underground tunnels the military says have been used to smuggle weapons from the Palestinian enclave.
Following the deaths in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement saying that several of its leaders had been "murdered... in cold blood" and urged Egyptians to "rise in revolt" against the actions of the government of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.
The interior ministry said the men had been fugitive Brotherhood leaders who were meeting to plan "acts of terrorism and sabotage".
The Muslim Brotherhood, however, said they were part of its committee supporting the families of detainees and members who had been killed.
Analysts said the car bomb attack in Cairo that killed Mr Barakat also bore the hallmarks of Sinai Province, which was known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis until it pledged allegiance to Islamic State in November and changed its name.
In a speech at Mr Barakat's funeral on Tuesday, President Sisi promised legal reforms to ensure death sentences could be enforced more swiftly for those convicted of acts of terrorism.
Hours later, a soldier was shot dead outside a museum in southern Cairo and three suspected militants were killed when a car in which they were travelling blew up near a police station in a western suburb.
Tom Christy aims to pioneer techniques which could lead to new games where players must control their feelings to go forward in a virtual environment.
Other applications for the "emotional study" application, known as affective computing, could be military training.
Mr Christy, 35, is working closely with Bangor University's schools of electronic engineering and psychology.
The plan is to combine brain wave information collected from a single electrode that sits on the forehead as part of a headset with data such as the wearer's heart rate.
The information will then be sent to a group of programmes that analyses the data independently.
"It will combine already existing biometric detection devices into a lightweight portable system that will be able to perceive and indicate a person's mood and level of stress and anxiety," he said.
Mr Christy has also had talks with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MiT) in Boston, USA, as part of his research.
"I feel this is possible and we've had some early success," he said.
"What we need now is someone to come on board with us," he added.
This could be someone working in computer games, or maybe someone within the film industry to produce DVDs which tailor content according to the viewers' emotions, he said.
Prof Lucy Kuncheva, from Bangor University, said the area of "emotional study" is fast becoming an important part of research within computer science.
"There are many other possible applications for this type of technology, for example marketing to determine customer preferences and brand effectiveness," she said.
"It could also monitor anxiety levels of prospective soldiers during military training, providing instant neuro-feedback to combat addictive behaviours - the list is seemingly endless," she added.
Mr Christy, from Upper Llandwrog, Gwynedd, gained a first class degree in computer science in 2009 after leaving his job as a postman.
Following that success he was offered a post-graduate position at Bangor University.
The 25-year-old joined the NRL side from Huddersfield in December 2016 and has made 15 appearances this year.
Wardle said: "I would just like to say thank you to Newcastle for working alongside me in what has been a hard time adjusting to life down under.
"Rugby careers are short so happiness is key and sometimes things don't work out, which is unfortunately the case."
Eoin McManus got the only goal in the second half as Peter McGrath's men won convincingly at Pairc Esler.
"The goal was the decisive score. It gave us some breathing space," said Erne county manager McGrath.
"The first match is an important one because it can decide the complexion of the rest of your campaign."
Tomas Corrigan hit eight points, seven from frees, with the McManus goal coming after 53 minutes.
Despite not scoring for 22 minutes in the opening half, the visitors led 0-6 to 0-5 at the interval and were totally dominant in the second half.
It was a precious opening round win for Erne boss McGrath, who led Down to All-Ireland titles in 1991 and 1994.
Down's wait for a first league win since April 2015 continues, and after a good spell before half-time they faded quickly and accepted their fate far too tamely.
Fermanagh settled quickest and were good value for their 0-4 to 0-1 lead after 13 minutes.
Alan Davidson opened the scoring with a free for Down after 41 seconds but Tomas Corrigan landed three frees and Eddie Courtney scored from play to give the visitors an early cushion.
The Erne men owned the ball in the first quarter but racked up seven first-half wides.
The game changed in the second quarter as Down forced their way back into the game.
Davidson's placed balls, along with points from Conaill McGovern and Shay Millar, saw Down hit four points without reply.
Fermanagh failed to score for 22 minutes but Sean Quigley ended the drought with the best point of the match, hoofing one over from play from 50 metres for the equaliser. Corrigan tagged on an injury-time free to edge Fermanagh in front 0-6 to 0-5 at the break.
Pete McGrath's side scored seven points without reply either side of the break as Fermanagh regained control.
Aidan Breen scored twice from play, with Corrigan adding three frees as Fermanagh streaked clear.
Davidson's point ended a 17-minute barren spell for Down and they hit three points in three minutes to reduce the gap to three points.
Fermanagh responded well to Down's rally, with Eoin McManus's well-taken goal in the 53rd minute.
Not for the first time, the Mourne defence parted far too easily and McManus drilled a low shot to the far corner of the net to put Fermanagh 1-12 to 0-8 ahead.
The goal took the sting out of the contest and Erne subs Cathal Beacom and Ryan Lyons took the number of Fermanagh players on the scoresheet to nine.
The attack took place on Saturday and left the victim in a critical condition in hospital.
One man has been arrested after an 18-year-old man was stabbed in Homerton High Street on Sunday afternoon.
Police said the fatal stabbing of a 30-year-old man in Camden on Sunday now means three people were attacked with knives over the weekend.
Earlier this week, the Met said it was called to more than 9,000 knife crime incidents in London in the year ending April 2016.
There were 1,623 victims under the age of 25 including 866 teenagers, it said. Twelve were knifed to death.
In their campaign video Choose a life not a knife, people involved with the after-effects of knife crime, including a victim's father, police officer and a convicted murderer, all talk about the impact it has had.
Thomas Koing, a doctor at London's Air Ambulance service said 30% of the incidents they attended were due to knife crime.
"We see this almost every week, people being stabbed in the heart.
"We've had to change, we've had to up our game - we've had to do open heart surgery on the streets of London to try and save people's lives and that's hand-to-hand combat that belongs in war, it does not belong in London." | Women's Super League champions Chelsea Ladies have signed forward Bethany England from Doncaster Belles.

McGregor, 26, won in Las Vegas to become the first UFC champion from the Republic of Ireland.
He escaped a hold before a series of strikes gave him victory with three seconds left of the second round.
"To come in here and hear all this applause, it's just amazing. I truly appreciate it," said McGregor.
Mendes, 30, has a wrestling background and was a late replacement for Brazilian world champion Jose Aldo, who pulled out of the contest two weeks ago because of injury.
"I've been hearing all the while that I've been protected from this kind of opponent, that I've been gifted a title shot," added McGregor.
"So when my title shot went running and they gave me the challenge I was supposed to be protected from, I decided that I'm just going to prove to people that I'm a true fighter.
"It doesn't matter who it is, I'll show up and I'll put a finish on any fighter."
Ivor Sault, 69, from Devizes, Wiltshire, found a leg provided by the NHS was painful so decided to pay privately for a different type.
Mr Sault has since discovered he could have got the replacement on the NHS.
The NHS said a request for an alternative could have been considered if it had been aware he was unhappy.
Mr Sault, who lost his leg in motorbike accident over 50 years ago, said a previous prosthetic limb, which he was happy with, wore out.
"They couldn't repair it and I was given a different one.
"I was told [a better type] wasn't available in the budget, and I offered to pay more but was told it wasn't allowed."
Mr Sault said the prosthetic he was given led to problems and caused sores.
He said a "lack of communication" led to him deciding to pay £9,500 for a better limb.
"The NHS could have explained the policy better. I don't think they helped me at all."
North Bristol NHS Trust said it was disappointed to hear Mr Sault was unhappy but had not been aware of his concerns.
"We work within agreed NHS prescription guidelines to offer patients clinically appropriate prostheses," a spokesman said.
"We also work with them to consider alternatives if the initial prostheses are not suitable, as we did in Mr Sault's case.
"If a particular prosthetic limb is deemed clinically appropriate but is not routinely available within the NHS, we would consider making an individual request on the patient's behalf to service commissioners [NHS England] to see if they are prepared to provide additional specialist funding to support the provision."
Ann Lucas, who ran the city's sexual exploitation service, told BBC News she had regularly passed details about alleged abusers to senior officers.
They had repeatedly failed to act, she said, adding the force's priorities had been "burglary and car crime".
South Yorkshire Police said the allegations would be investigated.
The force is already facing an investigation following the publication of an independent report in August that accused it of failing child-exploitation victims in Rotherham.
That report found at least 1,400 children had been abused over a 16-year period.
However, Sheffield, just six miles from Rotherham, was seen as a model for tackling child sexual exploitation.
In 1997, the council set up a unit to look at the problems of young girls engaged in prostitution in the city.
The aim was to understand what drove them to it and to treat them as victims, not criminals.
In 2001, the city secured Home Office funding to set up the Sexual Exploitation Service, bringing together council, voluntary and health services.
The police were also involved, initially providing a constable to work with the team on a part-time basis.
In later years, the police provided some funding to the service and increased the commitment of the part-time officer.
Between 2001 and 2013, at least 668 young people, mainly girls, were referred to service, according to figures obtained by BBC News.
Some were as young as 11, most were white, 14 to 15 years old, and living at home.
About a third were under the care of the council.
Ann Lucas ran the project from its inception in 1997 until she retired in 2012. She is full of praise for the front-line officers she worked with, but is highly critical of some of their superiors.
In 2003-04, she and her team started mapping by whom the children were allegedly being abused, the addresses of where they were being exploited, the names and nicknames of the perpetrators and their car registration details.
She said all the information had been passed on to senior police officers but that no prosecutions had followed.
She said: "There were arrests and child abduction notices [were served], so they might move off that young person, but without the prosecuting strand being strong, we could divert the person away but with the message [to the abusers] that you could get away with this, so they would move on to other young people."
In 2006, the service became aware that a group of teenage girls were being abused, allegedly by a group of Iraqi Kurdish men.
A document seen by BBC News shows that one 13-year-old girl told officials she had been raped by five men, had experienced physical violence, including being punched, kicked and burned with cigarettes, and had had threats made against her family if she told anyone.
Ms Lucas said she and another council official, had gone to see Jon House, who was chief superintendent for Sheffield at the time.
She said she had showed the former chief superintendent all the information they had collected, and asked that a police investigation be launched into the allegations.
She said: "I was told that their [the force's] priorities were burglary and car crime and we had to cope with no extra police resources. It was extraordinary. How could anyone in their right mind think that burglary and car crime is more important than young people being raped?"
Mr House, who has left the police and is now a senior manager with PWC consultants, said: "Without more, I cannot immediately remember the details of a meeting alleged to have taken place eight years ago. Throughout my period we had to deal with very serious issues on a daily basis."
South Yorkshire Police said: "This is a question that only those involved can answer. South Yorkshire Police will look into these allegations and where there is evidence of any misconduct referrals will be made to the IPCC."
Ann Lucas took her information, which included allegations that the girls were being moved to other cities, to the newly opened Human Trafficking Centre. They assessed it and asked South Yorkshire Police to investigate the claims. "They re-branded it as trafficking, which was a priority," said Ann Lucas.
"They took exactly the same information back to South Yorkshire Police a few months later who took it on and mounted an investigation."
Operation Glover led to six men being convicted. Aziz Hamed and Ajad Mahmoud were each sent to prison for 10 years for serious sexual offences, while two others also received substantial custodial sentences.
South Yorkshire Police said Operation Glover "was focused on child sexual exploitation and not human trafficking, although we understand the two are often intrinsically linked".
Ms Lucas is delighted that more officers are now being asked to investigate child sexual exploitation and that it's finally, maybe, receiving the priority it deserves. "I felt for years that I was banging my head against a brick wall because it wasn't a priority," she said.
Ms Lucas passed all her allegations on to Chief Constable David Crompton, of South Yorkshire Police, during a meeting last month.
In a statement, the force said "they will look into the allegations and where there is evidence of any misconduct referrals will be made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission".
They added since 2013, there had been a six-fold increase in staff dedicated to tackling child sexual exploitation.
And they said the National Crime Agency was to investigate historical allegations of sexual grooming and that the terms of reference for that inquiry were being finalised at the moment.
Pembrokeshire council said inquiries were being made into Torquing Group following complaints about the project.

Zano drones were already in production and were designed to be controllable via a smartphone app.
A report by NI's Prisoner Ombudsman said Sean Lynch inflicted "extreme and shocking" self-harm over three days.
The 23-year-old was being held in the high-security Maghaberry Prison.
Director General of the prison service Sue McAllister told Stormont's Justice Committee on Thursday she was "sorry" for the injuries he sustained.
But in response, Sean Lynch said: "I would not like to meet Sue McAllister and if she was to meet me with a handshake, I would turn my back on her."
His father, Damien Lynch, added that he would not accept her apology without disciplinary action.
Mr Lynch asked: "Why did it take her four weeks to give an apology?"
"She apologised in front of a justice committee but she couldn't apologise to us, so I don't really accept it.
"Unless there's some kind of disciplinary action taken, it's not an apology," he added.
Professor Phil Scraton from Queen's University, an expert on the prison system in Northern Ireland, has called for a full independent review of mental health care provision.
"In four decades of research into the treatment of vulnerable prisoners and custody deaths in all UK jurisdictions, this is one of the most serious and explicit failures in the duty of care by prison management and prison guards," wrote Prof Scraton.
"The response by the Director General to Sean Lynch and his family is an abdication of responsibility for the abject failure at all levels.
"Depressingly, given the most recent highly critical report by the independent prisons inspectorate on the abject conditions at Maghaberry, severe self harm and suicide are to be expected.
"The time has now come for a full, independent review of mental health care in the four prisons," he added.
CCTV cameras at Maghaberry prison showed Sean Lynch shouting and crying in pain and banging his cell door, but the officers did not try to stop him.
He used his fingers and thumbs to damage his eyes, and claimed to have used a piece of broken glass to injure his groin.
"I am sorry for the life-changing injuries that Mr Lynch sustained whilst in our care," said Mrs McAllister on Thursday.
She said the days leading up to Mr Lynch's "most serious incident of self-harm" were "hugely challenging for everyone - for our officers, our healthcare colleagues, Mr Lynch's family and of course Mr Lynch himself".
Previously Mrs McAllister said it was the most extreme case of self-harming she had experienced in 30 years working in prisons.
She said it was a "shocking and tragic case" but that "it was not possible to say what staff could or should have done" in this "unprecedented incident".
Damien Lynch said he and his family are still searching for answers for the treatment his son received in prison.
"Sean went into prison a healthy man and came out blind, so they failed in their duty of care to look after him," he said.
"The new Justice Minister, Claire Sugden, should demand proper accountability from the prison service to ensure no other family has to suffer the ordeal we've had to cope with.
"It's immaterial to me if I meet Sue McAllister, Sean is the main issue and no matter what happens he's been sentenced to a life of darkness."
The Alliance says the grant should be subject to the couple attending three marriage training sessions.
Leader Sidney Cordle said: "We are very concerned about marriage and the breakdown of marriage in particular.
"Government figures have shown this is costing the nation £47 billion a year," he added.
Mr Cordle was speaking at the launch event in Westminster. His party is putting up 17 candidates in seats across the UK.
Other key pledges outlined include:
"We are very concerned about abortion," said Mr Cordle. "There are 185,000 abortions taking place per year in this country and recently in Parliament they debated gender-selective abortions, people being aborted just because they were the wrong sex. Parliament decided they weren't going to stop it. We think that is outrageous."
In February, MPs agreed to review the extent to which abortion on grounds of gender alone - which is illegal - was being carried out in the UK. However, Health Select Committee chairwoman Dr Sarah Wollaston told the Commons there was no evidence of a "systematic practice" of sex selective abortion in the UK.
According to Mr Cordle, other parties were failing to address several important issues. "I believe marriage, abortion and the persecution of Christians are extremely important and they should be discussed," he said.
The Christian People's Alliance has contested seats in local council and European elections before. In the 2009 European Elections, it ran a combined list with the Christian Party and gained 249, 493 votes or 1.65% of those cast. The parties have agreed not to stand against each other on 7 May.
Mr Cordle hit the headlines in May last year when he told the BBC that storms could have been the result of God's anger at gay marriage legislation. He was being interviewed after UKIP expelled a local councillor for blaming the storms on gay marriage.
"A lot of Christians believe that God is angry over gay marriage and God can actually show that anger," he said.
Asked if his party would welcome votes from gay people, he said: "We don't judge people because of their lifestyle. We are not against people. It's the principles on which we stand."
An official said three bombers had blown themselves up at the Intercontinental Hotel and another had been shot dead.
Later, Nato said two of its helicopters had killed three attackers on the roof.
Kabul's police chief told the BBC that troops had entered the hotel and that all the guests were safe.
After an operation lasting more than four hours, officials said all the attackers had been killed.
Interior ministry spokesman Siddiq Siddiqi told AFP that the seven killed were all Afghans and did not include the insurgents who died. He said eight other people had been wounded and the number of casualties could rise.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the group was behind the attack.
The Intercontinental is one of Kabul's best-known hotels and is popular with Westerners. It is situated on a hill in the west of the city.
By Bilal SarwaryBBC News, Kabul
One guest who had been caught up in the attack told the BBC he had just experienced the most difficult hours of his life.
Another guest described a scene of chaos and panic, everyone running in fear. There had been a wedding party at the hotel, as well as a meeting of some provincial governors.
The fighting took place in darkness as electricity was cut to the hotel and surrounding area. The interior minister said this had been done intentionally, as Afghan security forces were using night-vision equipment.
The full extent of the damage will not become clear until daybreak.
Officials said a meeting of provincial governors taking place at the hotel might have been the reason for the attack.
The attack also came the night before the start of a conference about the transition of responsibility for security from the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) to Afghan security forces.
A guest at the hotel told AP news agency that the attack began when many people were having dinner in the restaurant, and that he had jumped out of a first-floor window to escape the gunmen.
"I was running with my family," said the man, named as Jawid. "There was shooting. The restaurant was full with guests."
Another guest told the BBC that there was a scene of chaos, and that they had been told to stay in their rooms and keep their doors locked.
An Afghan intelligence official said several Afghan provincial governors and the Takhar provincial council chief had also been there.
"Most of these VIPs were in a car park when at least three suicide attackers arrived and started firing their weapons," he added.
"Bodyguards for some of the governors exchanged gunfire with the attackers. The attackers had hand-grenades, rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s.''
Later, three attackers managed to reach the roof and there was sporadic gunfire for several hours.
Afghan officials then asked Isaf for assistance, security sources told the BBC.
"Two International Security Assistance Force helicopters... engaged three individuals on the roof," Isaf spokesman Major Tim James said.
"The indications are that the three individuals on the roof have been killed."
During the earlier fighting, some bullets landed close to the house of Afghanistan's First Vice-President, Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim, who was evacuated.
The fifth and sixth floors of the hotel were reported to be on fire.
Kabul police chief Gen Mohammad Ayub Salangi told the BBC that security forces had searched the hotel and all of the guests were safe.
"Our boys have shot dead one of the suicide attackers. We are trying to defuse his [explosive] vest,'' he said.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was being kept informed of the operation, officials said.
Correspondents say the Intercontinental is one of Kabul's most heavily guarded hotels.
The US condemned the attack, saying it demonstrated "the terrorists' complete disregard for human life".
Kabul has been relatively stable in recent months, although violence has increased across the country since the killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan on 2 May, and the start of the Taliban's "spring offensive".
In January 2008, militants stormed the capital's most popular luxury hotel, the Serena, and killed eight people, including an American, a Norwegian and a Philippine woman.
The 34-year-old, who was previously suspended in November 2014, will not be allowed to bowl for 12 months.
Hafeez was reported by match officials following his country's first Test win over Sri Lanka in Galle last month.
The spinner can appeal against any procedural aspect of the assessment leading to his suspension.
Hafeez was previously banned following the first Test win against New Zealand but, following work on his action, he was reassessed and permitted to resume bowling in April.
Because this is the second time Hafeez's action has been deemed illegal within a two-year period he incurs an automatic suspension in international cricket for 12 months.
Last Saturday, Hafeez was the star performer for Pakistan, taking four for 41 and scoring 103 to help Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in their five-match one-day international series against Sri Lanka.
Hafeez has taken 52 wickets in 44 Tests at an average of 33.90 and has 129 one-day wickets at 34.87.
The 27-year-old scored eight goals in 39 appearances for the Stark's Park side this season.
Cardle began his career at Port Vale and has had spells with Clyde, Airdrie and Dunfermline.
"We have signed an out and out winger," said Staggies boss Derek Adams. "Joe is very creative and direct which will suit our style of play."
Ukraine was walking on "brittle ice" and the smallest false step could be fatal, he said.
Violence in the two eastern regions of Luhansk and Donetsk has escalated.
Russia has denied helping rebels in the east, despite a large body of evidence indicating its involvement.
President Poroshenko told Ukrainians that the threat of full-scale invasion remained, asserting that some 50,000 Russian troops were massed on Ukraine's eastern borders with a further 9,000 inside the self-declared rebel republics themselves.
Russia has insisted that any of its servicemen in the region are there on a voluntary basis.
Donetsk rebel spokesman Eduard Basurin said Mr Poroshenko's figures were nonsense, apparently given to put pressure on European leaders ahead of a meeting in Berlin later between the Ukrainian leader, Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Francois Hollande of France.
Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea last year weeks before the conflict began in Luhansk and Donetsk.
A ceasefire signed in February is at risk of unravelling because of the recent flare-up in fighting near the Ukrainian port city Mariupol and the rebel-held town of Horlivka.
Mr Basurin accused Ukraine of moving heavy weapons to the front line and of violating the ceasefire 21 times in one day.
Almost 7,000 people have died and more than 17,000 have been wounded since the fighting began, according to UN officials.
Mr Poroshenko said some 2,100 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed.
Beckenbauer was the head of the World Cup organising committee, which reports allege made a payment to Fifa in return for a financial grant.
The 70-year-old said a Fifa proposal "should have been rejected".
Germany beat South Africa in 2000 to host the tournament six years later.
Beckenbauer added that he took "responsibility for this mistake".
Der Spiegel magazine reported on 16 October that an alleged slush fund of 6.7 million euros (£4.8m) was used to buy votes for Germany - an allegation denied by the German Football Association (DFB).
Beckenbauer denied sending "money to anyone in order to buy votes" in a statement on 18 October, but gave further details after being questioned on Monday by a law firm hired by DFB to investigate the claims.
"In order to get a subsidy from Fifa [for the organisation of the 2006 World Cup] those involved went ahead with a proposal from the Fifa finance commission that in today's eyes should have been rejected.
"I, as president of the then-organising committee bear the responsibility of this mistake."
Beckenbauer captained West Germany to victory as hosts at the 1974 World Cup, and was coach when they next lifted the trophy in Italy 16 years later.
He then managed Olympique Marseille and Bayern Munich, where he is now honorary president.
The 37-year-old, capped 24 times by his country, moves to the U's following the departure of Will Norris to Wolves.
Forde was recently released by Millwall having played for them 339 times. He spent last term on loan at Portsmouth, helping them win the League Two title.
"Once Will departed, we decided that we would aim to bring in an experienced keeper," said head coach Shaun Derry.
"There was one stand-out candidate. David arrives with a glowing CV that very recently has a League Two winner's medal attached to it.
"He showed last season that not only is he a prime goalkeeper but a terrific leader too."

The French firm, which makes Activia and Actimel yogurts, said the increase would weigh on profits, but did not say if it would need to raise prices.
Danone also said it was implementing cost cuts worth 1bn euros (£850m).
Milk prices will rise in the "mid-single digits" in Europe, and even more in Latin America and Russia, the company said in its annual results.
Danone is overhauling its dairy division, where it is reducing costs and launching new products.
The firm, which also sells Evian water and Cow & Gate baby milk, said it was targeting profit growth this year of more than 5%, down from 9.3% in 2016.
British dairy farmers have protested over the effect of sharp swings in the price which they are paid for milk.
Global milk prices started rising again last year, and in December, the average UK farm gate price was 26.2p a litre, a 9% increase on the previous year.
James White, from Southampton, was said to be in "good spirits" following the ordeal.
Astley himself has described the event as "the definition of crazy".
Originally James' brother Jack had started the challenge but had to stop due to internet trolls hacking his live stream on YouTube.
The singer, who had a string of hits in the 1980s, had himself even lent his support by posting on Facebook.
The challenge finished at 15:00 BST on Monday, by which time the song is thought to have been played at least 2,500 times.
More than £6,000 has so far been raised for research into diabetes.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) South charity posted on Facebook: "Hats off - it's been a fundraising event of epic proportions and we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!"
Jack White, 23, a choir-master from Southampton, began the 75-hour lock-in with the 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up set to repeat, on Friday at noon.
However in a Facebook video message around eight hours into his charity bid, he said he had been inundated with abuse on his live YouTube page.
The trolls also attacked his seven-year-old nephew who has Type 1 diabetes and for whom Mr White was fundraising.
His brother James took over the challenge instead, which also included not washing, not browsing the internet and living on a diet of porridge, rice and water.
Astley's 1987 opus was part of the "Rickrolling" phenomenon, where millions of people were duped into clicking on a web link directing them to a video of the song.
Like-for-like sales, which exclude new store openings, rose 3.4% in the 13 weeks to 30 April, surpassing the second quarter's 2.9% rise.
The firm said imported food costs had risen due to the pound's fall, but that it had kept prices competitive.
The pound fell sharply following the Brexit vote last summer.
The drop has forced retailers to choose between raising prices or seeing their profits squeezed.
Morrisons chief executive Dave Potts said he was confident that the retailer's turnaround would continue.
Mr Potts has been leading a reorganisation of the supermarket chain over the past two years, since he took over the running of the business from Dalton Phillips in February 2015.
Changes have included pulling out of running smaller convenience stores under the M name, as well as a focus on cutting prices.
Morrisons also has introduced a tie-up with Amazon, offering same-day and one-hour delivery services, which it said it had now extended into more London postcodes.
Mr Potts added: "We've been working hard to improve quality and lower prices. We're a bit more relevant to a few more people."
On Wednesday, market research company Kantar Worldpanel said that Morrisons had been the fastest growing of the big four supermarket chains over the past few weeks, helped by its "The Best" line attracting more affluent shoppers.
John Ibbotson, director of the retail consultancy Retail Vision, said Dave Potts' "back-to-basics approach" had transformed Morrisons' fortunes.
"The introduction of the 'Best' premium own brand range and more healthy options has pulled in more affluent shoppers, and the focus on good value, fresh food has successfully driven a wedge between Morrisons and the discounters," he said.
A jobbing actor, back in 2010 the Londoner had been in Hollywood for two months for a "pilot season", auditioning for roles in numerous TV shows. And things did not go well.
"I'd be sitting in rows with 20 or so other actors, and everyone was a similar but better version of me," says Daniel, now 36. "I'd be sat there thinking 'that's what I'd look like if I went to the gym all the time', or 'that's what I'd look like if I didn't eat too much'."
After renting an apartment and car in Los Angeles for eight weeks, he ultimately failed to get any work.
"So by the time I flew back to London I was completely broke, maxed out on my credit card... and completely miserable. I said to myself on the plane - 'I'm quitting this, I've got to do something else with my life'."
A graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) acting school, Daniel had been a professional actor for eight years.
His credits included roles in movies Van Wilder 2 and Against The Dark, and parts in TV shows Casualty and Sherlock.
"I was a working actor, a good working actor," says Daniel. "But I had a naive idea that I wanted to be Daniel Day Lewis or Robert De Niro.
"When you realise that you are never going to be like them, and you realise that you aren't interested in whether the reason for this is luck or talent, you know it is time to stop.
"Because the gaps between jobs are really tough - I once went five months without work - and it is really tough to keep going into rooms and auditioning for work... you feel out of control.
"If you lose that passion, you have to stop and get out. And I have never looked back."
So, flying back to the US, Daniel decided there and then that he was going to quit acting, and do something else with his life.
Passionate about yoga, and specifically hot yoga - yoga done in a hot and humid environment - he decided he was going to open his own hot yoga studio in London.
However, there were two significant barriers in the way - he had no money, and no experience of running a business.
And his family and friends were not initially thrilled by his plans. "Everyone thought I had gone insane, they thought I had lost the plot."
Undeterred, Daniel set about devising a plan to raise the £200,000 or so he calculated that he would need to get a yoga studio up and running.
With no bank prepared to lend to him, he decided he would do something "incredibly stupid" - try to raise the cash by gambling on the financial markets.
Securing £17,500 from the sale of his South London flat (the rest went on paying back the mortgage), he quickly learned all he could about investing.
Then working as a waiter by day, he would gamble on the stock markets at night.

Daniel says: "It was completely insane, nuts. I had done a degree in economics before I went to Rada, but I knew nothing about investing, and I didn't have a gambling background.
"But I'd be trading things like the Aussie dollar at four in the morning... betting both ways every two minutes... the hardest thing is knowing when to get out.
"I really believe that in the long term I genuinely would have lost it all... but I made £165,000 when I stopped... it was insane, just sheer luck."
With about 75% of the capital he needed for the yoga studio raised, a friend of a friend eventually came on board with the other 25%, and in 2013 Daniel opened his studio, called Yogacentric, in the north London suburb of Crouch End.
Business quickly built up thanks to positive word of mouth, and today it employs 15 hot yoga teachers and 15 receptionists. And a second venue, a more general gym called Centric 3 Tribes, is due to open up the road next month.
While Daniel says he doesn't miss his previous profession, in a nod to it he tries to only employ actors for his reception staff
"It is a nightmare when they go away all the time to audition for parts, but actors have a fantastic skills set," he says.
"I didn't realise it when I was one, but actors have an energy... an excitement... a warmth. And they are incredibly great at thinking on their feet.
"They give you a warm environment, a great atmosphere, they make people feel comfortable and welcome."
Sprays that use neonicotinoid chemicals should only be used on crops that are not attractive to the insects they said.
The sale of seeds treated with these chemicals should also be prohibited.
Bayer, one of the companies who make the pesticides, says they are convinced they can be used without harm to bees.
Earlier this month, the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa) issued guidance on the use of neonicotinoids, in which they recognised "high acute risks" to bees who encountered residue from these sprays in pollen and nectar in crops like oilseed rape and sunflowers.
They also said there were risks to bees from dust in crops like maize that had been sprayed with these pesticides.
However they stopped short of recommending a complete ban.
Now the European Commissioner for health and consumer policy Tonio Borg has adopted the same line saying it was time for "swift and decisive action."
He has tabled a discussion paper that asks EU member states to restrict the use of neonicotinoids to crops not attractive to bees and to prohibit the sale and use of seeds treated with products that contain the active substances.
Three pesticides would be affected -clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiametoxam. Farmers would be banned from using them with sunflowers, oilseed rape, cotton and maize.
Commission spokesman Frederic Vincent told BBC News the measure was based on the latest scientific advice.
"We have requested a proper scientific assessment of neonicotinoids from Efsa. They came up with some concerns, some kind of worrying assessment. So now we are saying to members we have some scientific evidence that there are some concerns from those pesticides and the effects they might have on bees," he said.
The Commission wants restrictions in place by July and the measures will be reviewed after two years. There are already bans in place in France, Germany and Slovenia.
Campaigners were delighted with the EU stance - Friends of the Earth's Andrew Pendleton said it was a timely move.
"This hugely significant EU proposal promises a first, important step on the road to turning around the decline on our bees. The UK Government must throw its weight behind it," he said.
"The evidence linking neonicotinoid chemicals to declining bee populations is growing. We can't afford to ignore the threat they pose to these crucial pollinators.
But Bayer CropSciences which manufactures some of the chemicals that face restrictions says it remains convinced that neonicotinoids can be used safely and effectively in sustainable agriculture.
Speaking to the House of Commons environmental audit committee yesterday, the company's Dr Julian Little said that Europe was in danger of "enshrining some sort of museum agriculture".
"I personally absolutely support very strict regulation, but not to the point where we believe you are taking out major advances in chemistry and major advances in agriculture with no discernible improvement in bee health. And other countries will continue to use these products," he said.
In the UK the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) rejected a ban late last year saying the scientific evidence wasn't clear. They have commissioned new studies that will look at the impacts of neonicotinoids on bumble bees in field conditions and to understand what levels of pesticide residues and disease in honey bees are normal. These are due to be completed shortly.
But if the EU agrees to limit the use of these pesticides, it will apply to the UK as well, according to spokesman Frederic Vincent.
"If what we have tabled today is approved by members states in the short run, it will mean there will be a new regulation and the measures would apply from the first of July to everybody," he said.
In recent days a number of UK retailers have removed from sale neonicotinoid chemicals linked to bee decline.
New York Representative Michael Grimm said he would "break" a cable news journalist who brought up an investigation into his campaign funds.
Mr Grimm said his behaviour toward NY1's Michael Scotto was "wrong".
"I shouldn't have allowed my emotions to get the better of me and lose my cool," he said.
After cutting Tuesday night's interview short, the congressman told Scotto: "You ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this [expletive] balcony."
When Scotto said he had a valid question, Mr Grimm replied: "No, no, you're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy."
NY1 political director Bob Hardt had demanded an apology from the politician.
The Staten Island Republican initially said he was "extremely annoyed" with Scotto and doubted he was the "first member of Congress to tell off a reporter".
Later on Wednesday, Mr Grimm said in a statement that his apology to Scotto had been "graciously accepted".
The FBI earlier this month charged an associate of the congressman with bypassing federal campaign laws to funnel contributions to his political committee.
The 5m-long (15ft) beast is a member of the triceratops family, but with a huge nose and exceptionally long horns, palaeontologists say it is unlike anything they have seen before.
It has been named accordingly as Nasutoceratops titusi, which means big-nose, horn-face.
The research is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Dr Mark Loewen, from the University of Utah and Natural History Museum of Utah, told BBC News: "This dinosaur just completely blew us away.
"We would never have predicted it would look like this - it is just so outside of the norm for this group of dinosaurs."
Fearsome vegetarian?
The creature was first discovered in 2006 the Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument area of Utah.
However, it has taken several years to prepare and then study the fossil in detail.
The rocks it was found in date to about 75-million-years old, so the beast would have roamed the Earth during the Late Cretaceous period.
"The horns are by far the absolute largest of any member of its group of dinosaurs - they curve sideways and forwards," explained Dr Loewen.
"In addition it has the biggest nose of its group too."
He added that it also had a scalloped frill at the back of its head.
Nasutoceratops was also hefty, weighing about 2.5 tonnes, and with its unusual looks it would have cut a fearsome figure.
However this species, like all members of the triceratops family is a herbivore. It would have been more concerned with feasting on plants in its tropical, swampy surrounds than terrorising other dinosaurs.
'Treasure trove'
Nasutoceratops is one of a number of species that have been discovered in this area of North America.
The desert where it was found would have once formed part of a continent called Laramidia, which has been described as a treasure trove for fossils.
Other plant-eating species, including two other kinds of horned dinosaurs and duck-billed hadrosaurs, were found close to Nasutoceratops titusi, suggesting that the creatures were able to co-exist.
Dr Loewen said: "All of these animals are upwards of three tonnes... You have an environment where you have all of these large herbivores competing for food.
"We aren't really sure how you can support all of these animals, but you do find them all in the rock at the same time."
He added that other unusual new species were also emerging from the site.
The poster depicts the reality star wearing a leotard alongside the text: "Can you keep up with a Kardashian?"
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 14 complaints about Protein World's "socially irresponsible" promotion.
But it ruled the campaign did not "encourage harmful dieting behaviour".
The firm told the ASA the overall response to the advert was that it was motivating and empowering, and it did not believe it was socially irresponsible.
It added that Transport for London had approved the poster.
The watchdog decided the poster "promoted Khloe Kardashian's body image as desirable and aspirational; this was supported by her pose and the airbrushed style".
"We did not consider that she appeared to be out of proportion or unhealthy."
The firm's 2015 ad campaign, which asked "are you beach body ready?", drew 380 complaints amid widespread social media outrage.
Then, the ASA had already ruled the advert could not appear again in its current form due to problems with its health and weight loss claims, but it concluded it was "unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence".
A spokesman for eating disorder charity Beat, said: "Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses with very complex causes.
"While we wouldn't say they are likely to be the sole and direct cause of eating disorders, adverts that do not promote healthy body image or encourage restrictive eating habits can exacerbate the problem in people who are suffering."
Cheshire East Council said "deliberate and systematic manipulation" took place from 2012 to 2014.
Cheshire Police is investigating whether any crimes were committed.
The council has apologised and said the falsified figures had caused "serious problems" in assessing applications for new developments.
"Serious" errors in the council's air quality data readings, from 2012 to 2014, made them appear lower than they really were, an external investigation has revealed.
Falsified data "may have affected" decisions made on planning applications in Nantwich, Congleton, Crewe, Holmes Chapel and Sandbach, it concluded.
Emails seen by the BBC last month showed that auditors believed the number and nature of the inaccuracies meant human error was "unlikely" to have been responsible.
Sean Hannaby, the council's director of planning and sustainable development, said: "We would like to assure everyone that we have done everything we can to rectify these failings.
"There are no immediate health protection measures needed as a result of these errors."
Councillors have to decide if a development will:
All UK local authorities are obliged to monitor local air quality and submit their findings to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Defra said the data provided "an overview of pollution in locations where people are likely to be present and reveals historic trends which indicate whether policies to improve air quality are having the desired effect".
Air pollutants include nitrogen dioxide from exhaust emissions which the government has been ordered to cut.
If a council does not meet national objectives it is obliged to declare an Air Quality Management Area and publish an action plan.
An internal review by Cheshire East Council auditors in 2016 found the air quality data submitted was different to the original data provided by the laboratory that analysed readings from the council's monitoring equipment.
The falsified data was from testing stations "spread over a wide geographical area, which implies that the manipulation was not motivated by a wish to favour specific sites", the council's report summary said.
Cheshire East Council has not commented on any potential disciplinary action.
A Defra spokesperson said: "We are aware of this issue and understand the local authority is now considering its response to the investigation."
The public was included in the choice of nominations for the honour of appearing on the next £20 note, to enter circulation in 2020.
As with the new £5 and £10 notes from the Bank of England, being introduced this year and next, the £20 note will be made of plastic.
This extends a rich history of changing currency in the UK and worldwide.
The plastic notes - starting with the new £5 note featuring Sir Winston Churchill due to be issued in September - will eventually replace cotton paper notes, which have been used for more than 100 years.
In many ways, this is a significant change in the way money is produced, not least because a Bank of England banknote will survive a spin in the washing machine for the first time.
However, there are many other revolutionary developments in the way money has been made over many centuries.
Ben Alsop, curator of the Citi Money Gallery at the British Museum, and Mieka Harris, education manager for the gallery, offer a snapshot of this rich history - with the help of five objects from the gallery's collection.
This coin made from electrum - a natural alloy of gold and silver found in riverbeds - is one of the earliest examples of coins, and the beginnings of the Western tradition of coinage that is still going strong.
It was minted in Lydia, in modern day western Turkey, in the 7th Century BC, making it more than 2,500 years old.
These coins, featuring a lion's head, were of a consistent weight and purity. As a result, they held a value that allowed them to be used in cross-border trade - replacing the idea of two commodities effectively being swapped between traders.
The tiny coin was of significant value, so was used in high-level trade, as gifts between rulers, and as payment to mercenary soldiers.
The vast majority of the population would never see one, and continued to trade without coins - as had been the case for cities and empires for more than 2,000 years. Bartering, for example, still ran in parallel with trading using coins.
Throughout history, coins have looked very different to the money we recognise today.
This hollow-handled spade money was used in China in the early 6th Century BC, when the country was made up of a number of separate states
In order to inspire confidence among the merchant classes to use this abstract concept of bronze money, it was shaped as an agricultural tool - an item recognised by these people, rather than an alien, round coin.
Coins shaped as knives were also produced in China around 200 years later, as this was a shape recognised by those involved in warfare.
Weight was much more important that shape in terms of value.
Although its use was more widespread than the Lydian coins, the use of coins as currency did not filter down to the population at large until Roman times.
The earliest banknote in the British Museum's collection is this grandly named Great Ming circulating treasure note from the 14th Century.
It is an early example of "paper" money carrying a value. In this case, the one guan note is worth 1,000 coins, as can be seen from the illustration on the 34cm by 22cm note. It is actually made of mulberry bark.
"People started to call it 'flying cash', partly because of its convenience across high-level trade, but also because it no longer had the weight to it that coins would have had," says Ms Harris.
"So if you were not holding it properly, it could potentially fly away."
Backed by the central authority, it also features a border of dragons, and an inscription that warns against counterfeiting.
The warning seems to have been ignored. Owing to counterfeits and inflation - which rose as printing money became easier - China stopped issuing paper notes in the early 15th Century and did not start again until the 19th Century.
When the British Isles were gripped by civil war in the 17th Century, there was huge instability and a lack of small denomination currency.
Small traders and other establishments stepped in when the central authority was unable to provide this coinage, by issuing their own tokens.
This 17th Century token was issued, according to the inscription, by John Ewing, who traded near St George's Church in Southwark.
He was a tobacconist, hence the image of a monkey smoking a pipe. Customers could use this token in his store, but other local traders may have accepted it, too.
This private production of money was in many ways a forerunner to local currencies seen today such as the Brixton Pound and the Bristol Pound, as well as cryptocurrencies or digital currency such as Bitcoin.
However, these tokens were not used for long. A Royal proclamation, following the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660, clamped down on their production.
Although money is inherently conservative in nature in order to be accepted by the general population, there have been some revolutionary developments.
One was the birth of the credit card, even though credit and debt have existed for as long as money itself.
This particular card is an early example from the US, from the 1960s.
Credit accounts were already common in individual stores, but credit cards allowed people to use one card to shop on credit across the numerous stores and not have to carry notes and coins.
"To get people using them, they were mailed out to people who had not asked for them, just to try to encourage people to use this new form of payment," says Mr Alsop.
This was not particularly scientific, so there were examples of credit cards being sent to toddlers.
There was no automation in the credit card, as is the case today, so shoppers would hand over the card to a shopkeeper who would make a telephone call to a bank. That bank would then check with the shopper's bank by phone and eventually the transaction would be authorised.
Dorset Waste Partnership (DWP) said it would only collect refuse left in new authorised blue bags, and not traditional black sacks.
It said it stopped commercial waste being left out for free collection.
Some people say they have not received the blue sacks, while others claim some are refusing to use them.
Areas in the town affected include East Street and Bath Street.
Steve Burdis, director of DWP, said it was "working hard" to resolve the issues.
He residents had been sent letters about the changes to collections, which came into force last week.
John Gough, the manager of the Cutter Hotel, said many residents had not received blue bags.
He said the commercial waste collection was good, but that the domestic one "leaves a lot to be desired".
A Bath Street resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, described the situation as "disgusting".
She said although residents in her street had received blue bags, some were not using them.
She added discarded black bags were being opened by seagulls, leading to dirty nappies and other waste being "strewn across the streets".
Mr Burdis said DWP would visit residents "for the rest of the week" and advise them about the changes, as well as deliver more blue sacks.
A DWP joint advisory committee meeting will be held later to discuss its predicted £2m overspend.
In the past five years it has seen a 2010 televised prime ministerial debate, a husting event in the resultant Labour leadership campaign and a well-attended public meeting addressed by their lordships Heseltine and Adonis in support of their so far unavailing campaign for the city to elect its own executive mayor.
It has also hosted several editions of BBC One's Question Time.
On Tuesday, I arrived there during final preparations for the second of BBC Radio One's Newsbeat debates.
The programme's political reporter Greg Dawson told me their recent survey of 6,000 18 to 24-year-olds had revealed what most concerned young voters as they pondered their general election options.
The NHS came top with 42% of people mentioning it as a key issue and 33% made keeping down everyday costs one of their priorities.
Education was highlighted by 24% of those surveyed, while 23% mentioned affordable housing.
But fewer than half (47%) said they expected to vote at all.
A worrying disconnection is emerging between the politicians and younger voters.
No wonder there is so much talk about decision-makers who are accused of neither listening to them nor caring that young people seem to be getting the worst of the austerity savings. Student tuition fees have become an obvious case in point.
But consider the wider argument.
Whoever wins the election is expected, for example, to introduce a cap on child benefit.
Rising generations are afraid that they will be unable to afford their own homes, will find themselves stuck with the accumulated debt from PFI schemes and long periods of public overspending.
All of which, they feel, threatens to impoverish their own old age. Existing pensioner benefits, by contrast, have been largely untouched by the public spending cuts, except for the wealthiest pensioners.
Most retired people still have their travel concessions, winter fuel allowances, free TV licences and prescriptions.
Any sense that "the pensioner vote" weighs disproportionately heavily in the minds of our politicians on the basis that they vote and young people don't could prove seriously corrosive long term to our cherished democratic institutions.
Imagine a vicious circle in which young people become increasingly detached, so politicians pay less and less attention to them, leading in turn to yet deeper disillusionment and disengagement among those aged 18 to 24.
Newsbeat's debate gave ample evidence of just how unhappy and aggrieved many of Radio One's listeners feel right now.
What's to be done?
BBC WM's Brumvotes is at least a start. It aims to help young voters in Birmingham to understand what is at stake in this election -remember, it is the youngest city in Europe with 40% of its population under the age of 25.
The project is fronted by Noel Phillips, who reported this week for BBC Midlands Today on how social media is playing an ever-bigger part in reaching out to all sections of the electorate, especially younger people.
Noel reminded us that in the last election, social media sites were "the new kids on the block". Now they are indispensible for the campaigns to reach out to their public, young and not-so-young alike.
Campaigning for greater engagement by all sections of the community, but especially 18 to 24-year-olds, Michael Sani of the Bite the Ballot website told us a huge surge in younger people turning out on 7 May "would force politicians to re-consider their policies".
The converse may be equally true.
The 19-year-old left-back, who came through the Lincoln City academy, made three league appearances for Bolton and is Rovers boss Darren Ferguson's eighth signing since their relegation.
Meanwhile, midfielder Richard Chaplow has left the Keepmoat Stadium.
The 31-year-old, who joined Rovers in July 2015, played 30 games last season scoring two goals.

Stoke scored three in eight minutes, Mame Biram Diouf netting a brace and Jonathan Walters also on target.
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam made it 4-0 from 20 yards before Steven Nzonzi added the fifth from 25 yards.

Gerrard got one back before substitute Peter Crouch headed Stoke's sixth.
This was no way for a player of Gerrard's stature to bow out.
The Los Angeles Galaxy-bound midfielder managed to mark his 710th and final appearance for the Reds with a 186th goal.
But the 34-year-old was badly let down by his team-mates who were out-classed and out-witted from start to finish.
Liverpool finish the season sixth in the table, enough to secure a Europa League third qualifying round spot.
But boss Brendan Rodgers, who dropped young forward Raheem Sterling to the bench after he turned down a new contract, clearly has his work cut out this summer to rebuild his team.
In contrast, Stoke end a productive campaign ninth in the table after a thumping win.
Mark Hughes's rampant side showed no mercy as they easily swept aside Liverpool in an astonishing first-half display.
Diouf opened the floodgates in the 22nd minute after Simon Mignolet parried Adam's powerful drive into the striker's path.

It was 2-0 four minutes later, Diouf letting fly from the edge of the area after being afforded far too much time and space.
Liverpool looked shell-shocked when Walters made it 3-0 on the half hour after poor defending by Emre Can allowed the Stoke striker to pounce from close range despite Mignolet's best efforts.
The Reds were a shambles, Adam making it 4-0 after pouncing on a mistake by Lucas Leiva to power home from 20 yards.
It was Steven Nzonzi's who came up with the goal of the game, the French midfielder making it 5-0 from long distance on the stroke of half time.
Rodgers sent on Kolo Toure and Jordon Ibe in an effort to tighten up the defence at the start of the second half.
Gerrard did manage to mark his last game with a goal after a composed low finish.
But another Liverpool old boy restored Stoke's five-goal cushion as Peter Crouch headed home just five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
At the end, Gerrard could not wait to get off the pitch after a miserable farewell appearance.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes:
"We couldn't have asked for a better finish to a really great season.
"The level of performance in that first 45 minutes was exceptional and I don't think it reflects badly on Liverpool. I think most teams would have struggled to cope with the quality and intensity of our play.
"It is a great performance against a very good team with great individual talents, and we have been able to get the level of performance that I think a lot of people sensed we were capable of.
"Everything came together and we showed what a good side we are."

Gaynor latched onto a long ball and poked the ball past Conor Devlin for the opener in the 56th minute.
Waterworth shrugged off a defender and slid a low shot into the bottom corner for the second with 14 minutes left.
Gaynor's penalty after Devlin fouled Paul Smyth made it 3-0, then Devlin and Caoimhin Bonner were sent-off late on.
Both players received two yellow cards, the Reds goalkeeper being dismissed by referee Andrew Davey for apparent dissent after initially kicking the ball towards the Linfield players after Gaynor's successful spot-kick in injury-time.
Bonner was given his marching orders after a foul on Guy Bates soon after.
The Reds' best chances fell to David McDaid, but he was denied by Gareth Deane in the early stages and skewed a curling left-foot effort wide of the post in the second half.
Goalscoring opportunities were at a premium in the opening period, but Waterworth went close for the visitors when his right-foot drive was pushed over by Devlin.
After the interval, with the Blues already two goals up, defender Mark Stafford saw his header cannon off the bar.
Linfield will face Lurgan Celtic in the semi-finals at Windsor Park on Friday night, 1 April.

Martyn Tucker, formerly of Chester, admitted 28 further offences of indecent assault or gross indecency between 1967 and 1985.
On Tuesday, Caernarfon Crown Court heard that one of the victims was just 12 at the time.
Tucker is due be sentenced in August or September.
The court was told "statements of complaint" from new victims had been generated as a result of the publicity of the previous case in May 2014 when Tucker was jailed for 12 years.
That case involved five boys in abuse dating back 46 years, with some offences occurring in Flintshire while he was a scoutmaster in the area.
Myles Wilson, prosecuting, asked for two further cases alleging sexual activity with a child of 13 in 2008 - to which Tucker pleaded not guilty - to lie on file. Judge Niclas Parry agreed.
His lawyer Stephen Edwards said he was serving his sentence at Rye Hill prison, near Rugby, and his earliest release date was May 2020.
The restrictions include the quarantining of hospitals and clinics where new cases are detected, new rules on burials and possible lockdowns.
The Ebola outbreak began in Guinea in December 2013.
In January, the World Health Organization reported a steady drop in cases in the three epicentre countries.
But renewed concern has been triggered by fresh setbacks in these countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Mr Conde said he was declaring "a reinforced health emergency for a period of 45 days in the prefectures of Forecariah, Coyah, Dubreka, Boffa and Kindia" in a statement published in national media.
The focus of the virus "has shifted to our country's coastal areas," he said.
He added: "Wherever the need may be, throughout this period, measures of restriction and confinement will be taken."
It is a first for the country since the outbreak began, Reuters reported.
On Friday, Sierra Leone began a three-day nationwide lockdown sparked by fears the virus was making a comeback in some parts of the country.
The southwest region of Guinea borders northern districts of Sierra Leone that are focus areas for the lockdown there.
On Friday evening Guinea deployed security forces to its south-west in response to reports Sierra Leoneans were crossing the border to flee the operation, an official told Associated Press.
Sierra Leone government spokesman Theo Nicol said the two countries had agreed to police the border so people with Ebola symptoms did not cross.
Since the Ebola outbreak began more than 24,000 people in nine countries have been infected with the virus, and over 10,000 of them have died.

The League One high-flyers looked set for a comfortable day at the Macron Stadium when former Mariners loanee Trotter headed home Zach Clough's corner for his second goal of the season after 20 minutes.
Several chances went begging for Phil Parkinson's side and Jamie Proctor rattled the post but their failure to put the game beyond the plucky League Two outfit nearly cost Bolton dear.
Grimsby came into their own after the break. Brandon Comley was denied by a brilliant Mark Howard save at point-blank range and Scott Vernon headed narrowly wide from Danny Andrew's left-wing cross.
James McKeown made two important saves from Sammy Ameobi and Proctor as Bolton - playing their first game at this stage of the cup since 1992 - made a rare foray into opposition territory.
Backed by nearly 2,000 travelling fans, Dave Moore's side pushed hard for a replay and nearly snatched one after substitute Rhys Browne stabbed a late effort towards goal but it was tipped round the post by Howard.

Ella Barber was born when her mother Michelle went into labour at their Derbyshire home on 15 August 2016.
Ms Barber's sister Jo Lambert called 999 when they realised there was a problem with the cord and Ella was struggling to breathe.
Paramedic Amanda Bird said it was "brilliant" she was now fully fit.
Live updates from the East Midlands
Michelle Barber, from Sandiacre, suddenly went into labour at home, but there was not enough time to get her to hospital.
Her sister realised the cord was wrapped around Ella's neck while talking to the emergency call handler.
"I was really scared." she said. "Michelle was screaming 'she's going to die, she's going to die.'
"I just thought I need to get her breathing and I did my best."
Joanne Shepherd took the emergency call and told Ms Lambert calmly to slide her finger under the cord and carefully pull it over the baby's head.
She said: "It was only my second baby delivery coming out of training so one I won't forget... not an easy one, but a really nice outcome."
Ms Bird arrived at the house within three minutes of the call.
She said: "She wasn't breathing, she was blue and she needed stimulation to breathe otherwise she wouldn't be here today celebrating her first birthday.
"I was thinking 'come on you little monkey, you are going to breathe' and she did, which was wonderful."
She added that it was "absolutely brilliant" that Ella was fully fit a year on.

Why he waited to the age of 77 to share this conviction with us is anybody's guess.
The Catholic Church in Ireland was quick to point out that the retired bishop of Derry is "speaking in a personal capacity".
Indeed he is, but he's not alone.
I presented Tuesday's edition of the Nolan Show and asked the public, particularly the Catholics in our radio audience, to tell us what they thought of Bishop's Daly's comments.
The response was almost unanimously in support of his call for reform.
In the past few years, I've lost count of the number of priests who have privately expressed the same conviction. Some have gone public, but most say they feel unable to speak out on the subject.
Perhaps the most highly-placed Catholic leader to call for a re-examination of the traditional ban on married priests is the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, whose former theology professor is now pope.
When, last year, he published an article which appeared to challenge the current rule of compulsory celibacy, Cardinal Schönborn was forced to issue a clarification: He was simply calling for a healthy debate. Some close to him later claimed he'd been nobbled by the Vatican.
Speaking out
But Edward Daly, as a retired bishop, has more freedom to share his current views with us than a serving Cardinal-Archbishop.
The argument he offers for changing the church's practice is an old one - it was considered and rejected by Pope Paul VI in his 1967 encyclical Sacerdotalis Caelibatus ("On the celibacy of the priest").
Bishop Daly said he is worried about the decreasing number of priests and the requirement of compulsory celibacy is part of the reason why so many otherwise well-qualified candidates for the priesthood are walking away from the church.
In short, the priesthood forces men to choose between God and family.
It is undoubtedly true that some young men currently struggling with what they believe is a vocation to the priesthood will, after painful reflection, decide that that requirement of celibacy is a rule - a personal sacrifice - too far.
A church divided
The controversy about married priests is one of the longest-running debates in the history of the Catholic Church.
Gregory VII, the great reforming pope of the 11th Century, is often described as the architect of clerical celibacy, but it is clear that the case for an unmarried priesthood was being made within the Catholic Church for centuries before Pope Gregory's reforms.
Supporters of the new rule found evidence for the policy in the celibacy modelled by Christ himself and in the guidance of the early apostles, including St Paul, who once wrote: "An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs - how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world - how he can please his wife - and his interests are divided." (I Corinthians 7: 32)
Since the 11th century, the Roman Catholic Church has required priests to remain celibate, while other churches, including the Eastern Orthodox churches, have permitted clerical marriage (though, in the case of the Orthodox Communion, bishops are required to remain unmarried).
The Catholic Church's rule is just that - a rule, a discipline, not a doctrine or a dogma, which means that the church is free to change that practice if or when it believes change is necessary.
Old subject, new debate
If this is an old debate, it is equally true that it is still a very current one.
That's because the celibacy issue has been set in stark relief by its relation to other contemporary controversies.
First, there's the clerical abuse crisis, and the widespread sense that compulsory celibacy is at least part of the problem.
This has been roundly challenged by the Vatican and by some recent academic studies.
In a major new report published earlier this year, researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York concluded that compulsory celibacy itself was not the cause of the abuse crisis, but found that many seminaries had failed to prepare priests for a celibate life.
Others disagree.
The theologian Fr Hans Küng, who was stripped of his licence to teach Catholic theology in 1979 after he rejected the doctrine of papal infallibility, argues that celibacy is not the only cause of clerical abuse, but described it as "the most important and structurally the most decisive expression of the church's repressive attitude to sex".
Second, there is the fact that some Catholic priests are married.
Former Anglican priests who left the Anglican Communion after it changed its laws to permit women to serve as priests and bishops have been received into the Catholic Church by a special papal dispensation and ordained as Roman Catholic priests even though some of them are married with children.
I recently interviewed one such priest, ministering in England, who has nine children.

He's been told by the Catholic Church that he should live with his wife and family as a husband and father, without any requirement of celibacy.
Can you imagine how galling it must be for some Catholic priests to look on as their church permits some of their priestly brothers to enjoy a married life, while they are required to remain single, celibate and, in some cases, lonely and isolated?
Third, there is a vocation crisis.
Not in every part of the Catholic world, for sure, but in many parts of the west, including Ireland, the church is struggling to persuade young Catholic men to join the priesthood.
Where celibacy once looked heroic and sacrificial, it can now appear weird and unnatural.
Those may look like good reasons to change the church's practice to permit married priests, but I wouldn't expect change any day soon.
Clerical opponents will consider any reform an insult to those priests who have faithfully lived celibate lives (and there are many).
And it is a truism of Vatican politics that the Catholic hierarchy thinks in centuries, not decades. | Bishop Edward Daly has now added his voice to a growing chorus of Catholic leaders and commentators across the world calling for an end to the church's requirement that priests should remain unmarried and celibate. | 14,907,326 | 1,375 | 47 | false |

Half a dozen "terrorists" hijacked a pleasure craft heading towards London from Kent taking dozens of people hostage in the Met's first big training operation on water.
The boat was intercepted by firearms officers near the Isle of Dogs.
The Met said the exercise was not in response to any specific threat to the river or the capital.
Just after 11:00 GMT, elite police marksmen in two small boats drew alongside the "highjacked" vessel, opened fire, boarded the craft and "neutralised" the threat.
Cdr BJ Harrington, the officer in charge of the operation, said the aim was to test the capability of many parts of the Met and other emergency services while operating in a "dangerous working environment" on the Thames.
"We want to make sure we're all working together so that London's got a really good response should this terrible incident happen," he said.
A report last year, found security measures on the river Thames needed to be strengthened.
The report's author Lord Harris called for "a comprehensive review of safety and security on the River, commissioned by the Mayor, to report by May 2017."
The exercise started just after 09:00 GMT and was expected to last a couple of hours.
Officers taking part had not been told what the nature of the simulated attack would be.
The Metropolitan Police tweeted a training exercise was under way and that people should not be alarmed.
Teams from the Met's specialist firearms unit SCO19, the Marine Policing Unit and the Dog Support Unit were all involved.
Other agencies including the Port of London Authority, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, RNLI, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance also took part.
In June 2015, more than a thousand police officers and soldiers took part in Operation Strong Tower which simulated a terrorist firearms attack in central London.
The threat level in the UK has been rated "severe" - meaning an attack is highly likely - since August 2014.
On the 10th anniversary of the 2005 London bombings, the country's top counterterrorism officer told the BBC about 50 plots had been thwarted since the 7/7 attacks.
Counties are allowed to field two overseas players in Twenty20 games, with up to four registered for that competition - although only two can be registered at any one time, and registrations must be for a minimum of 10 days.
Only one overseas player is permitted in the County Championship and One-Day Cup competitions.
Kolpak contracts are signed by foreign players, using a loophole in European Union law to avoid counting against the quota of one overseas player per club.

But the German single-leg amputee is running out of time to prove that his carbon fibre running blade does not give him an unfair advantage over his Olympic rivals.
The 27-year-old set a world record of 8.40m in winning the T44 long jump event at the IPC World Championships in Doha in October - a distance that would have given him gold ahead of Britain's Greg Rutherford at the 2012 London Olympics.
It means the man known as Blade Jumper would be a genuine medal prospect for the Olympics, but he has told BBC Sport that it could cost him up to 300,000 euros (£232,800) to take tests to prove he is eligible to compete on the biggest stage of all.
Rehm, who lost his lower right leg in a boating accident when he was 14, wants athletics' governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), to act quickly with the Olympics less than six months away.
"We have contacted the IAAF and we need to get some information on exactly what they need, what they want to measure and then I can see if there is a possibility of organising it," he explained.
"But it is impossible for me to manage it myself - it's a lot of money.
"We need the information first. It doesn't make any sense to get measurements now and for the IAAF to say that isn't what they want.
"I really would love to have a measurement, to make it certain for everyone. I just want to do it fair, and that's why I've always offered to have measurements to find out what is the right way for us."
Rehm's long jump technique sees him jump off his prosthetic leg and experts have questioned whether the blade gives him an advantage when he plants it down at the point of take-off.
After he won the German National Championships in 2014, he was prevented from competing at the European Championships in Zurich because of concerns over the prosthetic.
The German Athletics Federation said then it had doubts over whether jumps with a prosthetic limb could be compared to those using a natural joint.
Rehm, who was due to compete against Rutherford in Saturday's Glasgow International Grand Prix before the Briton pulled out injured, wants to find a satisfactory solution but says that the prosthesis also limits his performance.
"For sprinting, I would set up my leg a bit different than for long jumping so I am a bit slower in my run-up and also I can't make adjustments when I take off," he explains.
"People don't see the hard work I do in training - if it was so easy to jump with a prosthetic leg more than eight metres, then why can nobody else do it?
"It would be a good sign for our sport if we could do it together, sit together at one table, talk about it, see what we need and how can we manage it.
"Being at the Olympics representing your country would be a special feeling. I can represent Paralympic sport as well and it would be an amazing chance to show what Paralympic athletes are able to achieve."
Analysis
BBC sports correspondent Andy Swiss
Markus Rehm's case has obvious echoes of South African Oscar Pistorius, who became the first amputee athlete to compete at the Olympics in 2012. But this case is arguably more significant because he has genuine medal potential.
When I spoke to him, Rehm came across as anything but a confrontational character. He said he would even be happy to compete at the Olympics without an official ranking - and therefore be unable to win a medal - simply so he can showcase Paralympic sport. Yet his frustration with his situation was obvious.
At the moment, some observers argue his blade must help him on take-off; others disagree, pointing out that it has to balance his left leg during the run-up. The truth is that nobody knows, because there has been no definitive research.
As the standard of Paralympic athletics improves every year, this is unlikely to be the last example of an amputee athlete wanting to prove themselves against able-bodied counterparts.
Campaigners brought the case on behalf of almost 900 Dutch citizens.
They argued the government had a legal obligation to protect its citizens from the dangers of climate change.
Government lawyers did not immediately comment on the ruling at the court in The Hague.
Jasper Teulings from Greenpeace called it a "landmark case".
"It shifts the whole debate. Other cases are being brought in Belgium, the Philippines. This is the start of a wave of climate litigation."
The judgment was unprecedented in Europe, and unexpected. It pushes the Dutch government to honour its commitment to cut emissions.
In terms of the practical implementation, the government has already agreed to close coal plants, increase the use of windmills and solar energy and drastically reduce gas extractions in the north of the country.
The court case puts pressure on the government to speed up the process in order to meet the targets and become more energy efficient within the next five years.
The judgment is legally binding, and based on "Tort Law" - a general and universal concept which essentially refers to a duty to refrain from causing harm.
The court ruled that based on current policy, the Netherlands would only achieve a 17% reduction at most in 2020, which is less than other nations.
"The parties agree that the severity and magnitude of climate change make it necessary to take measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," it said.
The lawsuit was brought under human rights laws by the sustainability foundation Urgenda, which said - and the court agreed - that the Netherlands had a duty of care to its citizens and to improve the environment.
It argued that unless rapid action was taken, the next half of this century would see extreme weather, shrinking ice caps and shortages of food and water.
Low-lying Netherlands is especially vulnerable, and must now cut its emissions by a quarter compared with 1990 levels.
The targets will require tough action, says the BBC's environment correspondent Helen Briggs.
Coal and gas provide much of the Netherlands' energy needs, with the country lagging behind neighbours Denmark and Germany in the use of renewables, our correspondent adds.
The Dutch government can appeal to a higher court and it is not clear yet how the ruling will be enforced.
The European Union recently set a target of reducing emissions by 40% by 2030.
A major conference on climate change is due later this year, with negotiators aiming to strike a global deal limiting temperature increases to no more than two degrees over pre-industrial levels.
"Finally we have a little more clarity re the British plans," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
Germany also wanted a "close and trusting relationship", he said.
The Czech Europe Minister, Tomas Prouza, tweeted: "UK's plan seems a bit ambitious".
"Trade as free as possible, full control on immigration... where is the give for all the take?" he asked.
The Italian daily La Repubblica commented: "Out of the EU, out of common market, out of everything. It appears that Theresa May's intention through negotiations with the EU at the end of March is 'a hard Brexit' - a very hard Brexit indeed."

May: UK must leave EU single market
One of the top EU officials, European Council president Donald Tusk, voiced regret but some relief too in a tweet: "Sad process, surrealistic times but at least more realistic announcement on #Brexit."
Belgian liberal Guy Verhofstadt, named as the European Parliament's lead negotiator on Brexit, warned that any deal for the UK would be worse than EU membership.
He said it was an "illusion" for Mrs May to suggest "that you can go out of the single market, that you can go out of the customs union and that you can cherry-pick, that you can have still a number of advantages - I think that will not happen".
Mrs May's mention of a possible alternative economic model for the UK was a "threat", he said, that could obstruct the negotiations.
Norway's Aftenposten daily said Mrs May's speech signalled "a clear rejection of a Norwegian-type involvement in the [EU] internal market".
Norway has very close ties to the EU - as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) it has open, tariff-free access to the EU single market, though Norwegian fisheries and agriculture are excluded.
The price for that advantage is high Norwegian contributions to the EU budget and automatic acceptance of most EU laws.
"Even though she rejects the term, it is indeed a hard Brexit," commented France's Le Figaro daily.
Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front (FN) in France praised Mrs May's speech.
FN vice-president Florian Philippot tweeted: "Bravo to T. May who respects her people with a 'clear and clean' Brexit. Sovereignty cannot be a half-measure. French independence soon!"
Michael Fuchs, a close conservative ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, accused Mrs May of "cherry-picking" in her speech, Sky News reported in a tweet.
EU politicians have stressed that they will not let the UK "cherry-pick" parts of its EU membership terms.
They insist that the single market's four freedoms - covering goods, services, capital and labour - cannot be diluted.
The Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad called Mrs May's speech "not just a bit of Brexit but the full whack".
"Bye bye EU... the unspoken, big threat from London is creating a tax paradise in front of the gates of Europe," it said.
Sweden's former Foreign Minister Carl Bildt tweeted: "I regret the approach the UK government has taken.
"I think most of the EU would have preferred a closer relationship with the UK."
Sweden has long been one of the UK's closest allies in the EU.
The king fired his civil service minister and put him under investigation for abuse of office.
He also named his son Prince Khalid as new ambassador to the US.
His decrees saw a new national security centre created under the Royal Court.
The king also ordered two months extra salary be paid to frontline military personnel taking part in Saudi-led operations in Yemen.
Prince Khalid, the new ambassador in Washington, is a fighter pilot who has trained in the US and carried out air strikes against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group in Syria.
The decree said the pay cuts for ministers and government employees - the first in the country, where about two-thirds of working Saudis are employed in the public sector - had been in response to falling oil prices, which sank to a low of $28 (£21) a barrel last January.
The price of oil has since risen to about $52 a barrel and ministers said budgetary performance had been better than expected in the first quarter of this year.
Under the cuts, ministers had their salaries reduced by 20% and housing and car allowances for members of the advisory Shura Council were cut by 15%.
Wage increases for lower-ranking civil servants were suspended, and overtime payments and annual leave capped.
Salaries and allowances accounted for 45% of government spending in 2015, or $128bn (£99bn), and contributed to a record budget deficit of $98bn.
The futuristic idea to lift commuters above congestion quickly attracted international attention when it was launched last year - but was finally scrapped last month.
There had been growing speculation that it was no more than an investment scam.
In a statement, police said they were working to recover investors' assets.
China has seen a series of scams where online platforms offer big returns on money invested into start-ups, an area mostly ignored by the country's state-run banks.
Among those arrested was Bai Zhiming, the 47-year-old CEO of the Transit Elevated Bus Company (TEB) who is also the founder of peer-to-peer financing company Huaying Kailai Asset Management.
The other 31 were Huaying Kailai employees.
Investors had reportedly been offered returns of 12% if they put money into the project, but allegations in the Chinese media had said it had been a way of luring them into buying financial products.
Doubts about the bus - a 22m-long electric vehicle standing nearly 5m high and 8m wide - began to emerge when all tests were halted shortly after the first test run.
Many doubted the vehicle would be able to manage curves or fit under footbridges and critics asked how it would turn corners, whether it was strong enough to bear its own and passengers' weight and how long its battery would last.
Others noticed that the model used in the test run was the same as the one presented when the idea was first floated in 2010, suggesting no technical progress had been made.
There was also confusion about whether the bus had been approved by the authorities - but the Financial Times newspaper reported that the government of Qinhuangdao in Hebei province, where the TEB was based, had said it would invest $1.5bn (£1.2bn) in the project.
Last month Chinese media reported that the Qinhuangdao test site had been demolished.
South African star Coetzee was injured in Saturday's Pro12 win over Zebre.
The 25-year-old had only recently resumed playing after a long injury lay-off, making his Ulster debut against Edinburgh last month.
It is believed Coetzee has hurt the same knee and will have exploratory surgery to find out how serious the latest injury is.
The loss of Coetzee for another lengthy spell is a huge blow to Ulster and their director of rugby Les Kiss.
When the player was declared fit to make his Ulster debut against Edinburgh on 10 February, Kiss said: "It's like a new signing.
"I think we will see some good things, but we will see better things the more he plays."
Former Natal Sharks player Coetzee joined Ulster on a three-year deal at the start of the 2016/17 season.
In another injury update, Ulster reported experienced winger Andrew Trimble had undergone surgery for a left hand fracture sustained in the home win over Treviso.
The 32-year-old is expected to return to action in around four weeks.
Sir Keir, who is the shadow cabinet spokesman on Brexit, told the Today programme the aims he would like to achieve on trade in the negotiations.
He accepted that "unchanged single market membership is not a viable option".
He added that he campaigned "passionately to stay in, but we lost the referendum".
But Sir Keir criticised the government for taking the idea of continued membership of the customs union "off the table".
So first of all, what is a customs union between a group of countries?
It is an arrangement in which they impose no tariffs on imports from other countries in the union. Goods imported from outside the union are subject to the same tariff whatever country they enter through. And once they are inside (once they have cleared customs) they can circulate across borders within the union without any further tariffs.
The EU's single market goes a lot further than this.
It also includes free movement of capital, the right to establish a business and - especially relevant to the Brexit negotiations - the right to work in other member countries, as well as extensive commercial regulation that applies across the EU (and the other countries that are in the European Economic Area).
Sir Keir accepted that full membership of the single market would not be the final result in the negotiations.
Prime Minister Theresa May's speech in January, which set out her negotiating objectives, was widely interpreted by trade experts as implying that the UK would be leaving the customs union.
"I do not want Britain to be part of the common commercial policy and I do not want us to be bound by the common external tariff," she said.
Having a common external tariff - applying the same tariffs to imported goods regardless of where they enter the customs union - is one of the defining characteristics of such an arrangement.
The reason she gave for her objection was that these elements prevent the UK from striking new trade agreements with other countries.
She did add that she wanted a "customs agreement" with the EU but, without the common external tariff, it would not be what economists would recognise as a membership of a customs union.
Sir Keir wants continued membership to be an option. He did not say it was absolutely essential but that we should "see where we get in the negotiations".
One advantage of continued membership of the customs union would be that exporters of British goods would face no tariffs when they sell into EU countries, so consumers in the UK would not have the prices they pay for EU goods raised by tariffs imposed by the British government.
A customs union is not the only way to achieve that.
A free trade agreement with no common external tariff could do that as well. The EU has such deals with a number of countries (though there are a small number of goods not covered) including South Korea and Canada (the latter one has not yet come into force).
But a free trade agreement usually leaves exporters having to comply with regulations called "rules of origin". As an example, a British exporter might need to show that their goods really were British in order to get tariff free access to the EU.
There are certainly drawbacks with a customs union. As the prime minister suggested, you cannot do your own trade deals with countries outside it.
In addition, it would not be open to the British government to eliminate tariffs unilaterally. The UK might want to do that to reduce prices for imported goods where there is no British producer to protect from competition - citrus fruit for example.
Some economists say the UK should do it unilaterally for all goods, though there would certainly be some opposition from groups exposed to more competition.
The pro-Brexit campaign group Lawyers for Britain argue that staying in the customs union would "inevitably result in the UK being subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the interpretation and application of the common rules which regulate the customs union."
And of course ending the jurisdiction of the ECJ was one of the prime minister's priorities for Brexit.
It is certainly true that there would need to be some mechanism for enforcement and that would be something outside the UK's legal system. But exactly what it would be could be a matter for negotiation.
BBC NI presenters Jo Scott and Barra Best hosted the local TV appeal, with a little help from Pudsey Bear.
CIN spends more than £8m to support 197 projects across Northern Ireland.
It is hoped local donations will exceed last year's total, when NI raised more than £900,000. NI's final 2016 figure will be announced on Saturday.
BBC Radio Ulster has been supporting Pudsey all this week, and the Hugo Duncan Show has already raised more than £18,000 with its annual on-air auction.
Now in its 11th year, a huge range of items went under the hammer, including tickets to sold-out concerts, a football signed by the 1981 Linfield football team and a meal out with Hugo himself.
Friday night's telethon kicked off at 19:30 GMT, with Greg James and Tess Daly hosting the UK-wide programme.
It began with a tribute to County Limerick native, Sir Terry Wogan, the longstanding presenter of Children In Need who died earlier this year.
In Titanic, Belfast, there were performances by award-winning pop tenor Eamonn McCrystal, from Cookstown, County Tyrone, and Dublin singer/songwriter Chloe Agnew, a former member of Celtic Women.
One of the highlights of the night was a live performance by a UK-wide "superchoir".
It involved 178 children and young people from Northern Ireland joining more than 1,500 others from across the UK to sing "Lean on Me".
Jo and Barra also discovered the lengths people go to to raise money, while viewers watched stories from local children and young people who have benefited from the charity.
"I am absolutely delighted to be part of this year's Children in Need appeal as it's a charity dear to my heart," said Barra.
"I organise a Children in Need quiz every year with the help of some BBC colleagues and it's always great to see so many people donating so much money.
"I know some of the projects and schemes that benefit from Children in Need and I am in no doubt that many would struggle without this vital funding. Here's hoping we break records this year."
Jo said: "One of the best things about BBC Children in Need is the way people really embrace it and it's brilliant to be involved with that enthusiasm and sense of fun.
"It's a total privilege to be presenting BBC Northern Ireland's contribution I'm in awe of everyone who supports such life changing work and only too delighted to be involved."
Before he got ready for the show, Pudsey came along to meet the Good Morning Ulster team in Belfast's Broadcasting House.
On Saturday 19 November, Barra, Jo and Pudsey will be back for Children in Need: The Best Bits - a 70-minute special on BBC One Northern Ireland from 17:45 GMT, giving viewers the chance to relive the highlights from Friday night.
Saturday's programme will also take an extended look back at how the pupils from across Northern Ireland who took part in the 'Lean on Me' performance prepared for their live TV appearance.
Arsenal are 10 points behind leaders Leicester with six games to play.
Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez converted Alex Iwobi passes to put Arsenal 2-0 up but Carroll netted twice in 160 seconds to bring his side level by half-time.
A far-post header completed Carroll's treble, before Laurent Koscielny hooked in the equaliser from 10 yards.
The hosts extended their unbeaten home run in the Premier League to 14 games but Slaven Bilic's side remain sixth, two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who play West Bromwich Albion at 17:30 BST.
West Ham 3-3 Arsenal as it happened
Striker Carroll was rarely far from the action in a pulsating London derby, being booked as early as the fourth minute for a needless late tackle on Koscielny.
There appeared little way back for West Ham as clinical finishes from Ozil and Sanchez gave the visitors a two-goal cushion, but England international Carroll would turn the game in his side's favour in the space of eight minutes either side of the interval.
All three goals were typical Carroll efforts, the first a powerful far-post header from Aaron Cresswell's left-wing cross, while he was awarded too much space by the Arsenal defence to fire in the equaliser at the second attempt during first-half stoppage time.
The ex-Newcastle forward was perhaps lucky to escape further punishment when he clashed with Gabriel in the air, catching the centre-back with his arm, shortly before rising above Hector Bellerin to head past David Ospina - who had kept his place in the Arsenal goal ahead of Petr Cech.
Wins over Everton and Watford either side of the March international break kept any faint hopes of a title success alive for Arsene Wenger's side.
Having led 2-0 after 35 minutes, this result will feel like two points dropped for Arsenal, even though they responded well to Carroll's quick hat-trick and were decent value for their draw.
The Gunners have a favourable run-in, with five of their last six opponents currently in the bottom half of the table - but it will take a remarkable collapse from Leicester and Tottenham above them if they are to win an unlikely title.
Saturday's result did little to improve Arsenal's record in London derbies this season - they have taken only six points from seven games against other clubs from the capital.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "I am so proud of my team to come back like that before half-time and then to be better than them in the second half.
"Now Andy is fit and we hope he will stay fit. There aren't many players capable of doing what he is doing.
"I'm proud of everything. We were spectacular. But the only thing I'm not happy about is the result."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We are third on 59 points and that's not where we want to be.
"We have made it much more difficult to have a chance to win the championship but no matter, we have to keep going.
"You never know what will happen, and we have clubs chasing us as well, so we have to be serious and focus on finishing as high as possible."
West Ham switch their attentions to the FA Cup on Wednesday when they host Manchester United in a quarter-final replay, while their next Premier League fixture is at leaders Leicester four days later.
Also on 17 April, Arsenal host Crystal Palace in another London derby.

HBO has announced the award-winning director will have full input from the Democrat, who left office in January 2001 having served his second term.
Scorsese said in a statement that Clinton "continues to shape the political dialogue" worldwide.
Meanwhile, a film about Clinton's wife Hillary - Rodham - has made The Black List of 2012's best unmade screenplays.
It follows in the footsteps of The King's Speech and Slumdog Millionaire, which both went on to win Oscars for best picture.
The Rodham biopic by Young II Kim is set during the height of the Watergate scandal and features young lawyer Hillary Rodham as she is chosen for the House Judiciary Committee to impeach Nixon.
She has to choose between a destined path to the White House and her unresolved feelings for Clinton, her former boyfriend who teaches law in Arkansas.
Also making the annual list, which is collated from the opinions of more than 290 Hollywood executives, is Shockingly Evil and Vile by Michael Werwie, about the life of serial killer Ted Bundy.
"I think this is the year of the biopic," said Black List creator Franklin Leonard.
"In general, true stories are well represented this year. If you look at films like (previous Black List script) Argo, if you do them well, there's a market for them."
It is not known when filming for Scorsese's documentary about Clinton will start or when it will be aired.
Scorsese described the former president, 66, as "a towering figure who remains a major voice in world issues.
"Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure."
It marks Scorsese's third documentary at the HBO network, following Public Speaking and George Harrison: Living in the Material World. He is also the executive producer on crime drama Boardwalk Empire.
Steve Bing, who produced the Rolling Stones' live documentary Shine A Light, has been lined up as co-producer.
Since his time in office, the 42nd president of the US has set up the William J Clinton Foundation, which helps international causes including action against global warming and the prevention of AIDS.
He has remained active in politics, campaigning for Democratic candidates including his wife and Barack Obama.
Conner Marshall, 18, from Barry, died four days after he was attacked at a Porthcawl caravan park in March 2015.
David Braddon, 26, of Caerphilly, who was being monitored at the time, was jailed for life for his murder.
Mr Marshall's family claims he should have been more tightly supervised.
At the time of the killing, Braddon was being monitored by probation workers after he was convicted for drugs offences and assaulting a police officer.
A report by the National Offender Management Service found he had missed some follow-up appointments and there were times staff could have "monitored his community order more robustly".
But it concluded staff could not have known he would go on to commit such a violent act.
"Given the limitations of managing offenders subject to community orders, there was nothing the offender manager could have done which would have predicted or prevented the offence," the report said.
"It is clear from the review that no one could have foreseen that David Braddon would go on to commit such a devastating offence.
"When an offender is being supervised in the community, it is simply not possible to eliminate risk altogether," it concluded.
However, the review did make a number of recommendations including:
Mr Marshall's mother Nadine Marshall claims the attack might never have happened if Braddon had been more tightly monitored.
"David Braddon was a time bomb... He should have had tighter controls, better management," she said.
Mr Marshall's family have been given a summary of the report, but have collected a petition of more than 2,300 signatures calling for the full version to be made public.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said serious further offences were rare but each one is taken extremely seriously and investigated fully.
"Public protection is our priority and we continue carefully to consider the findings in this case," he added.
Firefighters were called after smoke and fire were seen coming from the ITV soap's set in Trafford Park at about 21:25 BST on Tuesday.
A spokesman said the explosion was a "false alarm".
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) tweeted: "The Coronation Street set IS NOT on fire!"
Tracy Ralph, 35, from Hawkwell, Essex, was admitted to hospital with pneumonia on Christmas Eve and was diagnosed with septicaemia and blood clots.
She has now been transferred from Southend Hospital to a specialist centre in south west London.
A fundraising campaign to help adapt her home has now raised £148,214.
It was started by Tracy's sister-in-law Amanda Ralph with an initial target of £100,000 to help buy "the best prosthetic feet we can".
After nearly £80,000 was raised in four days, the target was reset to £250,000.
Amanda said: "We've been told the prosthetics will only last five years each time, so Tracey will need a lot more over the course of her life."
Tracy was treated for meningitis, septicaemia, blood clots and bleeding on the brain and was put in an induced coma, her sister-in-law said.
After being confined to bed for more than two months, she was admitted to the NHS Douglas Bader Rehabilitation Centre at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton earlier this month.
"Tracy is doing well, she is really determined and has been fitted with legs. The next stage is getting used to using them and working hard at learning to walk again," he sister-in-law continued.
"She is now in her third week, so we are hoping she will be home after eight weeks is up and the house should be ready by then too."
Her family estimate it will cost £60,000 to alter the family home near Rochford for wheelchair access and she would also need to have an adapted car.
The Team TC charity is holding a Help Tracy Back on Her Feet Gala at Rayleigh Golf Club on Friday, 17 April.

GB produced easily their best defensive performance of their campaign so far, stifling the home team.
The team's final match is in Luxembourg on Saturday, when results in other groups will decide if they have done enough to make next year's final 24.
GB are now assured of second place in their group and the size of their win will give them optimism ahead of the weekend's final round of games.
GB's defence was relentless in the first half and the team launched runs of 15-4 and 17-8 from Macedonia's mistakes as the home fans grew restless with their team, who trailed 44-30 at half-time.
The lead grew to 16 points in the third quarter before a flurry of three-pointers brought Macedonia back into the running.
Clark splashed another three on the buzzer for a 67-53 GB lead with 10 minutes remaining.
Joe Prunty's men then held Macedonia scoreless for the first three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, establishing a 20-point lead in process, and were never in danger of being caught.
"It's a testament to the character of our team," said Prunty. "How hard we've battled. I thought we got great effort from a lot of players and particularly on the defensive end.
"We've talked about being a defensive team first and then trying to push the ball and play with pace on the offensive end."
Prunty was impressed with Clark, who was in the GB team beaten in Skopje in 2010.
Clark said: "That's one of those games that will always be in the memory when we come here, so we can be proud of what we did, playing in front of a hostile environment and keeping [the crowd] quiet.
"We have young guards on the team and they showed their growth this summer in being able to read the game and handle the team."
Talei joined Quins in February 2015 following his release by Newport Gwent Dragons, but a knee injury limited him to only seven Premiership appearances.
The 34-year-old also had spells with Edinburgh, Worcester and Doncaster.
"After 17 months out of the game spent rehabbing and draining fluid from my knee, it was advised that retirement is the best option for me," he said.
"I would like to thank Harlequins for their patience and show my gratitude to the medical staff who have continually monitored my rehab and training.
"Rugby has made me the person I am today. I am forever grateful and will cherish every moment of it."
In January 2013, a year after the closure of MegaUpload, he set up Mega, which also allows users to host and share large files on the internet.
He is currently fighting extradition to the US over charges of copyright infringement on a "massive scale".
An extradition hearing is set for July.
Mega will reach the market by using what is known as a "backdoor listing".
Rather than floating in its own right, Mega will take over TRS Investments - which is already listed - and change the company's name and operations.
TRS will issue Mega with 700 million shares at 30 cents each, totalling NZ$210m ($180m; £109m). Mega's shareholders will own 99% of the firm.
Mega's chief executive Stephen Hall said he intended Mega to be a listed company by the end of May.
"The rapid global growth of Mega has generated significant interest from potential investors," he said.
"Listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange will allow investors to participate in the ongoing growth of Mega," he said.
Mr Dotcom was arrested at his mansion near Auckland, New Zealand, in January 2012. As well as MegaUpload being shut down, Mr Dotcom's assets were frozen.
But later scrutiny of the raid led to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key apologising to Mr Dotcom for what were described as "basic errors" by intelligence services in collecting information on behalf of the US.
Opposition parties called for further independent investigations.
Following the Mega stock market announcement, Mr Dotcom wrote on Twitter: "Indicted. Raided. On Bail.
"All assets frozen without trial. But we don't cry ourselves to sleep. We built #Mega from 0 into a $210m company."
US authorities accuse him of earning more than $175m by facilitating the distribution of pirated copies of movies, TV shows and other content.
Stewart Brown and Stephen Rowney plan to patrol the Hartshill and Penkhull areas and report suspicious activity to Staffordshire Police.
The pair said the scheme was in response to police cuts.
Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis said he could not support a service that officers should already be providing.
Former Hampshire officer Mr Rowney, 50, said: "What we can provide, hopefully, is a reassuring presence on the streets that can act as a deterrent to people from getting up to mischief, committing basic crimes against households like burglary."
"Because we are in the area we can respond a little bit quicker than the police, whose resources are stretched.
"What we do is make sure the house is safe and contact the police."
The officers will wear navy uniforms and provide residents prepared to pay their weekly fee an alarm linked to a patrol car.
But while Mr Ellis said the idea was "well intentioned" he said he could not back it.
"This is a bit close to private policing," he said.
"I think policing is something that needs to be in the public domain."
The art school is in talks to purchase the former Stow College building in nearby West Campbell Street.
The heart of the expanded campus will be the refurbished Mackintosh building, which was damaged by fire in 2014.
A £20m fundraising drive to restore the Mackintosh has raised £17m. That target will now be increased to £32m to cover the restoration and campus expansion.
GSA director Prof Tom Inns said: "Over the last 10 years the GSA has undertaken phased developments of the campus in Garnethill, refurbishing some buildings, replacing others that were no longer fit for purpose and constructing the Reid Building.
"The Mackintosh building fire required the school to pause and reconsider, but we are now moving forward to create a newly extended campus with the restored Mackintosh building at its heart."
Prof Inns said the aimed for acquisition of the former Stow College site was "a fundamental element of our new estate development strategy".
"It will mean that the GSA can bring together all pathways in the School of Fine Art in one specially-adapted building for first time in over 50 years," he said.
"It will also mean we can create the space to support collaboration across our disciplines as well as with other academic, third-sector and industry partners."
Prof Inns added: "This next phase of our campus development will help us achieve our academic aspiration to become a global leader in studio-based learning and research, provide the space to accommodate a 25% increase in our student numbers by 2018, and importantly provide the GSA with space for future growth."
GSA hopes to complete the purchase of the former Stow College site in the next few weeks.
If this goes ahead, refurbishment works will begin in the summer, with the School of Fine Art moving into the building from autumn 2017.
A main contractor will be appointed in June to begin work on refurbishment of the Mackintosh building with the aim of having access in the 2018/19 academic year.
The iconic Grade A-listed art nouveau Mackintosh building was badly damaged by fire on 23 May 2014.
An investigation by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service concluded the blaze was caused by flammable gases from a canister of expanding foam.
The report said the gases ignited as they came into contact with the hot surface of a projector.
Customers of Kiddisave said they had paid hundreds of pounds for prams and buggies which had not been delivered.
Kay Possard, of WP Mayfield insolvency practitioners, said she expected to be formally appointed as liquidator at a directors meeting on 3 December.
The firm has been unavailable for comment.
Chloe Khan, 27, from Dudley, said she had put down a deposit of £878 for goods totalling £1,756, including a double buggy for twins she is expecting in the next two weeks, but had received nothing and was "devastated".
Miss Khan, who has an 18-month-old son, said when she had paid the deposit in late October, the firm had agreed to give her a month to pay the rest, but called her after two weeks.
She said: "They said they wanted me to fetch it because it's in the way of new stock (and said) it's going to get damaged by all the stock in the way.
"[When I said I didn't have the money] the phone went quiet, they just went 'OK' and put the phone down."
Miss Khan said the firm had now stopped trading, leaving her with "no money and no pram".
She said: "I think so many have been affected, it's disgusting."
The crew told air traffic control there was a "medical issue" with one of the pilots after the laser hit flight VS025 after take-off at 20:13 GMT on Sunday.
The flight was grounded overnight, and the 252 passengers put up in hotels.
Shining a laser at a plane can be a criminal offence. There have been no arrests, but police are investigating.
Everything you need to know about lasers
'It's only a matter of time until someone dies'
In a recording from the cockpit which was published online, a crew member is heard telling Irish air traffic that the incident took place six to seven miles west of Heathrow.
Virgin Atlantic said the flight returned to the west London airport as a "precautionary measure" after the co-pilot reported feeling unwell.
The airline apologised to passengers for any inconvenience caused, and said it was working with the authorities to identify the source of the laser.
Passenger Beth McHutchinson told the BBC: "Probably about an hour into the flight we had a tannoy, and it said the second pilot had been shot in the eye with a laser during take-off, and we were going back to Heathrow."
Passengers are due to board an alternative flight at 13:00 GMT on Monday, but some complained about the length of the delay.
Photographer Max Earey tweeted: "So the aircraft lands @10.30 pm but you can't get me out again until 1pm tomorrow! REALLY @VirginAtlantic I'm losing a whole day of my trip."
But Jessica Moore, who was travelling to New York for a holiday with her boyfriend, said she thought the pilots were right to turn around, and Virgin had treated them well.
"Many people on the plane were quite worried they weren't telling us the whole truth, but I didn't think that was the case," she said.
"Obviously it is frustrating to lose a day of our holidays; I am travelling to New York with my boyfriend and we were supposed to stay there for five days."
A new law introduced in 2010 means someone can be charged with "shining a light at an aircraft in flight so as to dazzle the pilot".
According to the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa), a laser can result in temporary vision loss associated with flash blindness; a "visual interference that persists after the source of illumination has been removed".
It can also cause an after-image - an "image left in the visual field after exposure to a bright light" - and glare in the cockpit.
Balpa general secretary Jim McAuslan said lasers were "incredibly dangerous", and called for the government to classify them as "offensive weapons".
"This is not an isolated incident. Aircraft are attacked with lasers at an alarming rate and with lasers with ever-increasing strength," he said.
"Modern lasers have the power to blind, and certainly to act as a huge distraction and to dazzle the pilots during critical phases of flight."
Janet Alexander, a commercial airline pilot, described the experience as "very like a lightning strike in that it's very instantaneous, very, very bright light, which is dazzling basically".
"And of course if it's targeted in exactly the wrong way you could permanently damage someone's sight."
Between January 2009 and June 2015 more than 8,998 laser incidents across the country were reported to the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
In 2014, there were 1,440 incidents in the UK, with 168 at Heathrow, according to the CAA.
Manchester International airport had the second most in that period, with 107, followed by Birmingham airport with 92 and Leeds Bradford airport with 81.
In the US, CNN reported there were 20 incidents during one night alone in November last year.
Aviation expert Julian Bray said so-called aircraft spotters would play "laser tagging" games, where they would try to shine a beam onto the fuselage of an aircraft.
Such incidents were becoming fairly common, he said, and were "very, very dangerous".
A CAA spokesman said: "We strongly urge anyone who sees a laser being used at night in the vicinity of an airport to contact the police immediately."
In November 2015 it was reported that the eye of a British Airways pilot was damaged by a "military" strength laser which had been shone into the cockpit of his aircraft earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, in 2014 three men from Leicestershire were jailed for using laser pens to dazzle pilots coming in to land at East Midlands Airport.
In one case the pilots' vision was so badly affected they covered the cockpit and landed on instruments alone.
Media reports claim Moores will be dismissed when Andrew Strauss becomes England's director of cricket.
Flintoff, who played under Moores during the 52-year-old's first stint as England coach, wrote on Twitter: "His agenda is England winning, he needs the players to hold up their end too."
Moores' side drew their recent Test series in the West Indies 1-1.
Former Lancashire all-rounder Flintoff, 37, said it was not Moores' fault England "underperformed", adding he hoped the reports about his sacking were not accurate.
Moores, reappointed England coach in April 2014, was in charge for a disastrous World Cup campaign, which saw them eliminated by Bangladesh.
He also oversaw the draw with a West Indies side labelled "mediocre" by incoming England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves.
Stand-in captain James Taylor said Moores was "positive and bubbly" during Friday's one-day international against Ireland, despite the speculation about his future.
Some reports on Saturday said Moores' dismissal would happen before the expected appointment of former England captain Strauss, who retired in 2012.
Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott wrote on Twitter that ex-Lancashire coach Moores was "a nice man" but "out of his depth at international cricket".
Boycott also questioned the selections and tactics of Moores and captain Alastair Cook during the recent series in the Caribbean, which concluded with a five-wicket defeat inside three days at Bridgetown.
Moores first led the national team between 2007 and 2009 but was sacked after being involved in a dispute with batsman Kevin Pietersen.
A man and a woman, both 25, were arrested on the premises on Bridge Street at about 13:00 BST on Friday.
Substances thought to contain class B and class C drugs were seized and will be forensically tested.
The shop is part of a chain in the South West and also sells tobacco products and smoking equipment.
Sgt Tony Crowter, from Avon and Somerset Police, said: "This action was in response to the potential health risk posed to the public in addition to suspected illegal activities in selling controlled drugs.
"Members of the public provided us with information about instances where they had become ill after consuming items bought from this shop."
Trading standards officers will also investigate whether some products have misleading labelling which they believe "could pose a risk to the public if consumed incorrectly".
The commission said partial results of Friday's election had given him 98% of the votes.
Mr Kagame's supporters began celebrating before the announcement.
They say that he has brought stability and economic development after the horrors of the 1994 genocide.
But his critics - most of whom are outside the country - say he has ruled through fear.
Mr Kagame, who has been in power for 17 years, was challenged by Frank Habineza and Philippe Mpayimana.
He came to power in 1994, when his rebel group took control of the capital, Kigali, ending the genocide in which some 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered.
Rwanda's constitution was amended in 2015, giving Mr Kagame a chance to stay in power until 2034.
The two challengers have complained that their supporters are being intimidated, which they say explains the low turnout at their pre-election rallies.
The candidates have also accused some local authorities of undermining their campaign.
The ruling party denies any accusations of wrongdoing.

The 120ft-tall Neoclassical structure was built in 1827 as a retreat for writer William Beckford, who once said: "I am growing rich, and mean to build towers."
Residents in the area, called Lansdown, may not share his love of the high-rise but many mirror his high finance. This is an affluent area.
So it comes as quite a surprise that this has been named the debt capital of Britain.
The BA1 9 postcode area has the highest level of personal loans per person in Britain. Each owes an average of £2,311, according to the latest data from the British Bankers' Association (BBA).
Are these figures as much of a folly as the local landmark, or does the data actually tell us something of the nature of debt in the current economic climate?
The BA1 9 postcode area covers Lansdown, a suburb of Bath, as well as the nearby villages of Kelston and North Stoke.
Within its boundaries are Lansdown Golf Club. Full annual membership will set you back £784.
It also takes in Bath racecourse, where a number of gamblers may have fallen into debt a little quicker than they ever thought possible.
Yet the local Conservative councillor for the area, Patrick Anketell-Jones, says: "I have had no reports of destitution in the area. I've never considered [debt] as a problem in the ward."
His theory for the BBA's findings is that Lansdown, a Victorian extension of the city of Bath, has a number of large detached homes with huge gardens. It can be fairly easy to borrow from banks when you own such a valuable asset.
Danny Sacco, manager of Lansdown Mazda - a new and second-hand motor dealership - says plenty of locals are buying cars from him.
He sold 72 new cars last month, a record for March, and describes the market as "buoyant" at present.
Significantly, he adds that 82% of purchases are made on credit. Drivers, he says, are taking advantage of 0% finance deals that mean there is not much point paying the full price up front.
"There was a lot of pent-up demand," he says.
"Cars are a good barometer of the economy. We've got more than just green shoots. People are optimistic."
Now the rate of pay increases has caught up with the inflation rate (which charts the rising cost of living) for the first time for years, both men are suggesting that people are more confident to borrow.
A personal loan is an example of this. You need a decent credit rating to get one, and the bank or building society needs to be sure you will be able to pay it back.
These loans are generally not the choice of those stretched to financial breaking point. Credit unions, payday loans or overdrafts are more likely to serve the less wealthy.
Personal loans only give a partial picture of debt. And, in fact, the BBA data only covers 60% of the personal loan market in Britain.
The data is not drawn from every lender, just Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, RBS, Santander, and Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks.
It is the second time the figures have been published, and although they are becoming more comprehensive, the BBA warns there is a danger of reading too much into figures from each particular area.
"This data is complex and it remains very difficult to draw firm conclusions about lending at a local level," says Richard Woodhouse, the BBA's chief economist.
Still, the geographical breakdown of lending is important. This data shows where nearly £30bn of personal loans are owed across the country.
It also gives an area-by-area breakdown of £901bn of outstanding mortgage debt, revealing that 44% of this is owed in London and the South East of England where house prices are the highest and average earnings are the biggest.
For some, increasing debt is a sign of trouble, especially for personal finances. However, it also tends to rise when the economy is stronger.
Over recent years, the BBA's own data shows that repayments to High Street banks of loans and overdrafts have regularly outstripped new borrowing. It was the opposite situation, by far, before the recession. For example, in February 2006, new borrowing outstripped repayments by £1.1bn.
In a more vibrant economy, banks would show greater willingness to lend and individuals greater willingness to take a risk and borrow to buy a car or build a new extension to their home.
So the next time you visit the picturesque city of Bath, and pay £3.20 to take the park-and-ride bus down Lansdown Hill, you can decide whether you are looking at an area gripped in the vice of credit, or one where the residents are feeling bold enough to borrow.
Or perhaps, at a weekend, you might decide to climb the steps of Beckford's Tower to see what Britain's personal loan hotspot looks like, if only to conclude that his wealth bought him the most magnificent views. | Beckford's Tower stands proudly on the hills overlooking the spa city of Bath, a monument to eccentricity and wealth. | 27,054,416 | 1,120 | 29 | false |
A new surface was installed last month ahead of Ross County's League Cup final win over Hibernian.
But the grass was in poor condition for Rangers' Challenge Cup final victory against Peterhead on Sunday.
Rangers return to meet Celtic at the national stadium next Sunday, the day after Hibernian take on Dundee United.
The replacement pitch process begins on Monday and will be completed by Tuesday.
Peterhead boss Jim McInally described the pitch as "dangerous" after four of his men were injured in the loss to Rangers.
"It's better for it to be relaid than to try and play on that if you are trying to play two semi-finals next week," he said. "It is in really, really poor condition. It is solid."
Peter Dallas, managing director of Hampden Park Ltd (HPL), said: "This latest action is deemed necessary after discussions with our pitch supply chain and representatives from the independent Sports Turf Research Institute following the installation of a new surface only five weeks ago.
"While the pitch is in an adequate playing condition, and has been professionally managed with an extensive maintenance and nutrition programme, regrettably it became evident that the rye grass in certain strips had not grown as expected.
"Given the recent six-figure investment, we expressed our concerns through the established supply chain and reached agreement that a new surface would be relaid at no cost to HPL. We spoke to our colleagues at the SPFL to assure them the decision would have no impact on today's Petrofac Training Cup final.
"We are confident that this action will provide the best possible playing surface for the Scottish Cup semi-finals and, indeed, the climax to the Scottish football season." | Hampden Park is to have a new pitch laid on Monday free of charge in time for next weekend's Scottish Cup semi-finals. | 36,009,684 | 373 | 32 | false |
The Belles, who have lost all five of their games this season, were up against it after captain Leandra Little was sent off for a professional foul.
She brought down Beth Mead on the edge of the area, who scored Sunderland's opening goal from close range.
Hayley Sharp and Mead put Sunderland 3-0 ahead by the break and Brooke Chaplen added the fourth in the second half.
Sunderland climb a place in the table up to seventh and above Reading, who earlier lost 2-0 at Liverpool.
Doncaster named new signing Christie Murray among their substitutes. The Scotland international midfielder joined the club on Friday.
Murray finished last season with Celtic but has previous WSL experience with Arsenal and Bristol.

Norman Davies, 56, took the Patterdale terrier for a walk in May to a secluded area before holding her collar and cutting her with a kitchen knife.
Misty managed to escape and was found the next day before being taken to the vets, who were able to save her.
Davies, of Grafton Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, admitted causing unnecessary suffering at an earlier hearing before magistrates in Chester.
He admitted in an interview to slitting the three-year-old dog's throat because she was "urinating inside", the RSPCA said.
Davies has also been banned from keeping animals for life.
RSPCA inspector Lisa Lupson said: "Misty would have been absolutely terrified and it would have been excruciatingly painful for her.
"Davies cut clean through her skin but missed her main arteries. If Misty had not managed to get free when she did then she may not be here today - she had an incredibly lucky escape."
Misty has since been rehomed and is "making progress", she added.
The Syrian National Council (SNC) said Hezbollah fighters attacked three villages near the Lebanese border in support of the Syrian government.
Hezbollah said three Lebanese Shia were killed in the clashes. Hezbollah has consistently denied it has sent its members to fight for the Syrian regime.
The UN meanwhile has said human rights abuses in Syria have got worse.
In a report issued on Monday, a UN-appointed inquiry team said the conflict had become "increasingly sectarian... radicalised and militarised", according to AFP news agency.
The panel said war crimes by both sides were growing, although it said abuses by rebels were not on the same scale as those committed by government forces.
UN human rights investigator Carla del Ponte said it was time the UN Security Council referred the issue of war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels renewed sanctions - including an arms embargo - against Syria, whilst agreeing to provide more non-lethal support to rebels "for the protection of civilians".
However they did not go as far as easing the arms ban on those fighting the Syrian regime, as Britain had wanted.
Last week, the UN said it estimated 70,000 people had been killed in the conflict since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began nearly two years ago.
According to the SNC and Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC) opposition groups, Hezbollah fighters crossed into central Syria on Saturday and attacked three villages in the Qusayr region of Homs.
"The Hezbollah force moved on foot and was supported by multiple rocket launchers. The Free Syrian Army [FSA] had to call in two tanks that had been captured from the Assad army to repel the attack," SRGC spokesman Hade al-Abdallah told Reuters news agency.
FSA spokesman Luay al-Miqdad called the alleged Hezbollah operation an "unprecedented invasion", according to a report in the Lebanese newspaper An Nahar.
"Hezbollah's invasion is the first of its kind in terms of organisation, planning and coordination with the Syrian regime's air force," Mr Miqdad was quoted as saying.
An unnamed Hezbollah spokesman was reported as confirming the three Shia deaths, but without saying whether they belong to the group.
AFP news agency quoted the spokesman as saying the dead fighters had been acting "in self-defence".
At least five Syrian rebels were also killed in the clashes, unconfirmed reports said.
Hezbollah is one of the biggest groups in Lebanon's governing coalition and is strongly backed by Iran, a close ally of President Assad. Mr Assad's minority Alawite sect is an off-shoot of Shia Islam.
Besides the Lebanese army, Hezbollah's armed wing is by far the strongest and best equipped in the country.
Lebanese officials have long accused Hezbollah's military wing, the Islamic Resistance, of fighting in Syria, while the US says Hezbollah provides training, advice, and logistical support to the Syrian military.
The latest reports come days after a senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards was killed travelling from Syria to Lebanon.
A disciplinary panel upheld three charges of breaching party rules.
The ex-London mayor has been suspended since April 2016 when he claimed Hitler had supported Zionism in the 1930s.
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".
The row first erupted when Mr Livingstone, who was defending MP Naz Shah over claims she had made anti-Semitic social media posts, said: "When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."
He has repeatedly defended his version of events, saying there had been "real collaboration" between Nazis and Zionists before World War Two.
Following the disciplinary hearing, Labour said Mr Livingstone had breached its rule 2.1.8, which says that "no member of the party shall engage in conduct which in the opinion of the NEC is prejudicial, or in any act which in the opinion of the NEC is grossly detrimental to the party".
He has been suspended from standing for office or representing the party at any level for two years, although he remains a party member.
The suspension will expire in April 2018 taking into account the suspension he has already served. The party said it would make no further comment.
Speaking outside the hearing, Mr Livingstone said he was not planning on running for office so the suspension "doesn't make a great deal of change", and said the hearing had been "like sitting through a court in North Korea".
A statement released by his office said he would be launching a campaign to overturn the suspension, adding that the hearing "was not in accord with natural justice" because it was held in private.
Wes Streeting was among those Labour MPs who criticised the decision not to expel Mr Livingstone, describing it as a "terrible betrayal of Jewish Labour supporters and our values".
Another, Michael Dugher, said he should be "kicked out for good", and Luciana Berger said the "appalling decision" marked a "new low" for the party.
What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
The president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Jonathan Arkush, said: "Relations between the Labour Party and the Jewish community have reached a new all-time low.
"After 12 months of indecision, despite finding him guilty of all three charges, the Labour Party has decided to suspend him from holding office for just one year despite his shameless, disgraceful and tendentious attempts to link Zionism to Nazism."
Holocaust Educational Trust chief executive Karen Pollock said it was a "slap on the wrist for a serial offender", and Simon Johnson, chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, said he should have been expelled for his "inaccurate and antagonistic comments".
The Jewish Labour Movement has promised to raise the matter at Labour's annual conference in September if Mr Livingstone is allowed to stay in the party.
Labour's shadow attorney general, Baroness Chakrabarti, who carried out an inquiry into allegations of anti-Semitism in the party before being made a peer by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said: "I hope people might now revisit my report and remind themselves of better ways to argue about difficult issues without compromising our values of solidarity, tolerance and respect."
"I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt," Christopher Wray said about the former FBI director who is leading the special investigation.
Mr Wray, 50, also told a Senate hearing he would quit if the president asked him to do anything illegal.
The last FBI director, James Comey, was fired by the US president on 9 May.
The US president earlier on Wednesday tweeted: "This is the greatest Witch Hunt in political history. Sad!"
Mr Wray told the Senate panel on Wednesday: "Anybody who thinks that I would be pulling punches as FBI director sure doesn't know me well.
"I will never allow the FBI's work to be driven by anything other than the facts, the law, and the impartial pursuit of justice. Period."
The nominee said he was "very committed to supporting" the work of special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mr Mueller, who was described by Mr Wray as "a straight shooter", is a former FBI director who is now leading the special inquiry into alleged Russian attempts to influence the 2016 US presidential election.
Mr Wray also faced questions about emails belonging to Donald Trump Jr - the president's eldest son - arranging a meeting with a Russian lawyer linked to the Kremlin.
The nominee told senators he was unfamiliar with the emails.
Senator Lindsey Graham read out the text of the emails to him and asked if Mr Trump Jr "should have taken that meeting".
"I would think you'd want to consult with some good legal advisers before you did that," said Mr Wray when pressed by the South Carolina Republican.
"Any threat or effort to interfere with our elections from any nation state or non-state actor is the kind of thing the FBI would want to know", he continued.
Mr Wray added that he has "no reason to doubt" the assessment by US intelligence agencies that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election in Mr Trump's favour.
Last month, Mr Comey told a congressional hearing that Mr Trump had requested a pledge of loyalty to him, which Mr Comey said he had refused to give.
Mr Wray declared: "My loyalty is to the constitution, to the rule of law, and to the mission of the FBI.
"And nobody asked me for any kind of loyalty oath at any point during this process and I sure as heck didn't offer one."
Mr Comey had also told senators he was worried about meeting one-on-one with Mr Trump, because he was concerned the president might lie later about their discussion.
When Mr Wray was asked how he would respond to a private invitation from Mr Trump, he said such a meeting would be "highly unlikely".
But he added it would depend on the circumstances and if national security was involved.
Mr Wray also said he would attempt to work with the justice department to ensure "it's not a one-on-one meeting".
"I think the relationship between any FBI director and any president needs to be a professional one, not a social one," he said.
"And there certainly shouldn't be any one-on-one discussion between the FBI director and any president about how to conduct particular investigations or cases".
Mr Wray, a longtime justice department official who most recently has worked as a private criminal defence attorney, also noted his opposition to torture as an interrogation tactic.
Democratic senators, who have harshly questioned other Trump nominees during their confirmations, signalled approval for Mr Wray, indicating that he will probably be approved for the 10-year term.
If the president ever asked him to do anything illegal, he told senators, "first I would try to talk him out of it, and if that failed I would resign".
They jump up, looking a little guilty, when visitors enter the room.
This is a school day, but the boys' family has decided to keep them at home.
Their school's oath - which children across Turkey are meant to recite every morning - includes the words "I am a Turk".
The Ciya family, who are Kurdish, refuse to say these words. The boys also insist that they be taught in Kurdish, not Turkish.
"We want our own mother language," says Birhat. "They should make our classes in Kurdish - our mother language."
His younger brother nods. The political statements done, the two jostle on the sofa and start to play computer games.
Their younger brother, who appears to disapprove of all visitors, sits outside in the yard and solemnly watches the chickens.
Their mother changes from the cartoon channel to a Kurdish TV station, which broadcasts from Europe.
The boys' grandmother, Naciye Ike, is one of the most well-known Kurdish activists in the town of Yuksekova.
In 1990, her 15-year-old son, Emrah, joined the Kurdish rebel group, the PKK.
Two years later, he was killed. His body has never been found.
In 2003, another son, Ali Ihsan, joined the organisation. He, too, was killed. Naciye has one surviving son, Jihat. She has banned him from signing up, so he now works as an accountant.
"I'm very worried about my grandchildren," she says. "Not only for them, I am worried for everyone. We still want peace [with Turkey], but they ignore us, they don't accept us.
"This is our country. I have always wanted peace but I look at the situation - and maybe I'm wrong - but it's not possible any more. We can't get along. We don't understand each other."
Kurds make up around 15-20% of Turkey's population. In the Middle East as a whole, they number around 25-30 million.
The Kurds are often described as the world's largest nation without a state. Their heartland is in the mountains of eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria and Iran.
In 1978, Abdullah Ocalan founded the Kurdistan Workers Party - or PKK - in Turkey's eastern Kurdish region.
Since then, the PKK's armed conflict with the Turkish state has cost an estimated 30,000 - 40,000 lives.
The PKK says that it no longer wants independence from Turkey.
Instead, it calls for democratic autonomy within the Turkish state. But reduced aims have not been matched by a lessening of violence.
In the past 15 months alone, more than 700 people have been killed.
The PKK has attacked military checkpoints and convoys, carried out bombings and kidnapped civilians.
The Turkish army has attacked the PKK in the movement's mountain strongholds and detained many of the movement's suspected supporters.
This has become the worst period of violence since the capture of Abdullah Ocalan in 1999.
In Yuksekova, hundreds of Kurds march to the town's cemetery to bury a PKK fighter, Orhan Akdohan.
Mourners hold up pictures of their imprisoned leader. The PKK appears to count on plenty of local support, a fact that will make it hard for the Turkish military to defeat the organisation by force alone.
"There have been many deaths in this country," says Serkan Dari, one of the mourners. "And there may be more. That's what the prime minister's language signals."
Some of the town's boys and teenagers wanted to show that they, too, could take on the Turkish state. They put on face masks and threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at the easiest target they can find - the Gazi primary school.
It teaches in Turkish not Kurdish. After much effort, the boys manage to set fire to a classroom. Turkish police officers in an armoured jeep fire tear gas to break up the young arsonists.
An hour's drive from Yuksekova is the town of Semdinli, which lies close to Turkey's borders with both Iraq and Iran. The town's mayor, Sedat Tore, is from the pro-Kurdish Peace & Development Party (which says it has no ties with the PKK.)
Over a glass of melon juice in the town's main street he talks of his worries about the conflict.
"Whenever [Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip] Erdogan gives numbers on death tolls and says that the Kurdish problem is finished, he sends another 100 young people to the PKK," the mayor says, gesturing to the mountains.
"Maybe he doesn't know it, but we are seeing it here. Every time he says there's no Kurdish problem he devastates hopes of the young people, wipes out their plans for the future and sends them to the PKK front."
The PKK has several thousand fighters. The movement's main base is over the border in northern Iraq, where Iraqi Kurds run their own region.
From northern Iraq, the organisation's acting leader, Murat Karayilan, told a BBC team that the PKK was not ready to stop fighting.
"You mean lay down arms without any conditions?" Mr Karayilan asks. "No, I don't agree with that. There must be a plan that addresses all of our questions.
"Turkey, as a democratic country, should solve the Kurdish problem and then we will abandon our arms. Until the European Union and the United States recognise the existence of the Kurds in the Middle East and until the Kurdish problem is solved, peace, stability and democracy will not progress in the region."
But that message does not impress the Turkish heartland in Ankara. Public opinion broadly supports tough measures against Kurdish rebels.
At the end of September, thousands gathered to watch Mr Erdogan address his ruling AK Party congress.
"Our party is the only power in the region that competes against the separatist terror organisation and its branches," Mr Erdogan told the crowd to cheers. "Does this discourage us? No. If one dies, thousands will take their place."
Mr Erdogan's government offers Turkey's Kurdish region money and investment but not self-rule. For a number of years, his administration held peace talks in Oslo with the PKK.
But those negotiations failed and violence has increased.
"We are fighting against terrorist groups, terrorist actions in a very multi-dimensional approach," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu tells the BBC.
"Security measures are one of them. But the rest will continue to be implemented in Turkey - democratic and economic development as the main political instruments for the future of Turkey."
But promises of development will not tempt PKK rebels down from the mountains.
The Turkish state may rule its Kurdish region but, around the Kurdish town of Yuksekova, Turkey's soldiers have to drive in armoured jeeps.
They wear their ammunition belts across their chests - where everyone can see them.
An ex-prisoner, referred to in court as R, argues that a police force's request to collect his DNA threatens arrest and infringes his human rights.
Under Operation Nutmeg, DNA samples have been collected from prisoners who pre-date routine collection.
Judges will decide if the force's approach was unlawful and if DNA collected in such a way can be kept.
The police force at the centre of the case - which also cannot be named for legal reasons - was trying to collect the sample as part of Operation Nutmeg, a push across England and Wales to collect genetic material from people jailed for serious crimes before 1994.
After that date, people convicted of serious crimes had DNA swabs routinely taken to add to the national database.
The aim of the operation is to see if there is any match to unsolved crimes with DNA from the former prisoners.
By July of this year, 6,204 samples had been taken under the scheme, with 111 being matched to crime scenes.
R - who was jailed for manslaughter in the 1980s but after his release was only in trouble for a lesser, non-violent offence - argues that he has turned his life around since 2000.
In a statement read to the court, he said: "I have changed my life over the past 13 years and have earned the right not to come under suspicion."
R was contacted by police in March this year. An officer hand-delivered a pro forma letter which told him that because he had a previous conviction for a serious offence he was being asked to give the officer a DNA sample.
The letter went on to say that if he chose not to, he would be required to attend a police station within seven days and if he failed to do that he could be liable to arrest.
The letter was signed by the chief constable of the force.
The BBC understands such pro forma requests are made by many other forces, as part of Operation Nutmeg.
The force involved in the case sent out 391 such letters, and collected 389 DNA swabs there and then.
R's lawyers told a hearing in July that the letter he received breached national guidelines because the threat of arrest made it a requirement to give the sample, not a request.
They also allege Operation Nutmeg breached section 8 of the Human Rights Act - the right to respect for private life.
They added that there was no reason to suspect R had committed any other crimes and to ask for his DNA was "pure speculation" in case there was a match on the files.
The judges hearing the review - Lord Justice Pitchford and Mr Justice Hickinbottom - indicated in the earlier hearing that they were inclined to agree that the letter breached the guidelines.
That could mean all the Operation Nutmeg DNA samples collected using similar methods may have to be destroyed, and criminal cases based on such evidence could collapse.
If they agree that the complainant's human rights were breached, it could affect the way DNA samples are collected in the future.
Wakass Haruf was accused of telling pupils at Birmingham's Golden Hillock Academy: "Islam is the true religion, not like those Christians and Jews".
A professional panel said while only part of the allegations against him had been proven, his comments had been delivered to large numbers of pupils.
The hearing has been adjourned.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership panel also heard Mr Haruf used words to the effect that adherence to other faiths showed ignorance.
More on this story and others on Birmingham and Black Country
The comments were said to have been made at a prayer meeting at the school in July 2013.
The hearing has been adjourned until February so Mr Haruf can prepare his mitigation.
Various panels have sat over the past few weeks looking at the conduct of some teachers at schools caught up in the Trojan Horse saga.
On Monday, Jahangir Akbar, former acting head teacher at Oldknow Academy in Birmingham, was banned from teaching indefinitely after the panel said his misconduct was of a serious nature.
He had been accused of trying to "eliminate" the celebration of Christmas in school and "undermining tolerance" of other beliefs.
The Trojan Horse affair was sparked when the contents of an anonymous letter, claiming hard-line Muslims were trying to get their own members on to governing bodies to try and oust head teachers at some schools in Birmingham, was made public.
As a result, five Birmingham schools including Golden Hillock were put into special measures by education watchdog Ofsted.
The school has since joined the Ark network of academies.
In the footage a voice believed to be Mr Goto says he and a Jordanian pilot will be killed unless Jordan frees an Iraqi woman held on death row.
Mr Abe said Japan was working with Jordan to secure their release.
IS said on Sunday it had killed another Japanese man, Haruna Yukawa. It had demanded a $200m (£130m) ransom.
In the latest footage, released around midday on Tuesday, the speaker says Mr Goto has "only 24 hours left to live" and Jordanian hostage Moaz al-Kasasbeh "even less" unless Jordan releases Sajida al-Rishawi.
Al-Rishawi is an al-Qaeda militant who has been sentenced to death in Jordan for her involvement in a 2005 attack that killed 60 people.
Kenji Goto, 47, is a well-known freelance journalist and documentary film-maker who went to Syria in October, reportedly to try to secure the release of fellow Japanese national Haruna Yukawa.
A video appeared on Sunday apparently showing Mr Goto holding a picture of what appeared to be the body of Mr Yukawa.
Speaking to reporters at the start of a cabinet meeting on Wednesday morning, Mr Abe said he was appalled by the "utterly despicable" videos, and that the government was asking for Jordanian co-operation.
He called on ministers to "take all possible measures to ensure the safety of Japanese nationals at home and abroad," the AFP news agency reports.
The mother of Mr Goto appealed publicly to the prime minister to help her son.
"Please save him," she said. "Kenji has only a little time left."
The deal being offered by IS, whether genuine or not, goes right to the heart of the universal dilemma over hostage-taking. Do you give in to demands to win the release of your loved ones?
The Jordanian authorities, who were given a final 24 hours on Tuesday to make this decision, find themselves in a dreadful position. IS want the release of a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist from Iraq. To release her could be seen as giving in to terrorism.
Yet at the same time many Jordanians don't support their country's role in US-led air strikes on IS positions. They want their captured pilot to come home alive and for Jordan to stay out of the fight against IS.
Deputy Foreign Minister Yasuhide Nakayama is in Amman negotiating with the Jordanian authorities.
On Tuesday night, several hundred relatives and supporters of the Jordanian pilot held a protest outside the prime minister's office in Amman, demanding he meet the IS demands.
Mr Kasasbeh's father, Safi al-Kasasbeh, told the Associated Press news agency: "The safety of Moaz means the stability of Jordan, and the death of Moaz means chaos in Jordan."

It is the Welsh club's first major cup final in their 100 year history and victory will see them gain a place in Europe next season.
The Swans have enjoyed a remarkable rise over the last 10 years, but how much do you know about Wales' only Premier League club?
David Dulin gives a quick guide to Swansea City.
- Swansea Town FC was formed 1912 and joined the Football League in 1921.
- The club adopted the same all-white strip as Swansea RFC when formed but have since on occasions used black shorts and socks as part of the home kit.
- The club's nickname is the Swans or the Jacks. The reason behind the latter is not clear, but there are two possible origins: One is the reputation of local seamen "Jack Tars" in the early 19th Century, while the other is the black retriever dog called Swansea Jack who rescued no fewer than 27 people from drowning in the River Tawe and Swansea Docks during the 1930s.
- The club became Swansea City in 1971 when the town was granted city status.
- After having to apply for re-election to the league in 1975, the Swans secured successive promotions under player-manager John Toshack in 1978 and 1979.
- The Swans reached the old Division One in 1981 and the following season remained in the top six all campaign before successive relegations followed.
- Swansea City were formally wound up on 20 December 1985. But a group of directors put together a rescue package and permission was granted for the club to continue fixtures.
- During the 2001/02 season the club found itself facing bankruptcy and it took a supporters' buyout of controversial Australian businessman Tony Petty to rescue the Swans.
- The club narrowly avoided relegation from the Football League on the final day of the 2002/03 season but have not looked back since.
- Promotion to League One came in 2005 along with the switch from their Vetch Field home to the Liberty Stadium.
- In 2008, the Swans reached the Championship and in 2011 became the first Welsh club to reach the Premier League.
- This is the club's centenary this season.
- Swansea's all-time top goal scorer is Ivor Allchurch, who found the net 166 times in two spells for the club, between 1949-58 and 1965-68.
- Allchurch is also the club's most capped Wales player, winning 68 caps.
- The record transfer fee paid is £5.5m to Valencia for Pablo Hernandez in August 2012
- The record transfer fee received is £15m from Liverpool for Joe Allen in August 2012.
The club's first appearance at the old Wembley came in 1994 when they won the Autoglass Trophy - a competition for teams in the lower divisions of the Football League. They won the same competition, albeit under a different name, in 2006.
Before this season, the furthest Swansea had reached in the League Cup (which has had various sponsors before Capital One) was the fourth round.
Should they win on Sunday, next season will be the club's first match in Europe since 1991 when they lost 8-0 to AS Monaco in the European Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg.
Entry to that competition came through the Welsh Cup which the Swans won 11 times but no longer compete in.
The Swans have never won the FA Cup but reached the semi-final in 1926 and 1964.
- Kevin Cullis holds the record for Swansea's shortest-lived manager, lasting just seven days in February 1996. The former Cradley Town youth manager had no experience of senior football management. His tenure was one-and-a-half games after it was reported senior players took charge of a half-time team talk in his second match in charge.
- In 2000, Jamaican striker Walter Boyd hit the headlines for receiving a red card when he came on as a substitute and was sent off before play restarted for striking a Darlington player. That record has since been matched.
- Goalkeeper Willy Gueret was arrested in the directors' box at Bury while celebrating winning promotion from League Two in May 2005. His arrest came for arguing with officers.
- In the same year, Swansea left their Vetch Field home. But while the last league game was taking place - 10 days before the last match was held there - fans stripped all the signage from the North Bank and the club shop to take as souvenirs.
- In 2013, defender Angel Rangel took to the snowy streets of Swansea to give food to homeless people in the city.
- Swansea's Carling Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea was marred when Chelsea's Eden Hazard kicked the ball out from underneath a club ball boy and the player was sent off.
- Cyril the Swan was invented in the late 1990s and made the headlines almost instantly.
- In 1999, he was banned by the club for two matches after clashing with then Norwich City director of football Bryan Hamilton during a League Cup tie.
- In the same year, he was fined £1,000 for a solo pitch invasion while celebrating a goal against Millwall in the FA Cup.
- He also appeared on the National Lottery and needed an odd number to be drawn as the bonus ball or he would be replaced by a black Swan called Sid the Cygnet. No 47 came up.
- In 2001, Cyril ripped the head off Millwall's mascot Zampa the Lion and drop-kicked it into the crowd.
- Also that year, he faced an assault claim following an annual mascot grand national meet at Huntingdon racecourse, but that was later dropped.
- In 2005, Cyril married Cybil the Swan and his antics since then have been somewhat muted.

T20 specialist Tait previously played for Glamorgan in that format in 2010.
The 33-year-old made his 21st Twenty20 international appearance in January, and has also played Test and one-day cricket for Australia.
Chief executive Hugh Morris said they were in talks with another overseas player for the first seven games of the T20 Blast, which starts on 20 May.
Morris said: "We're very excited. Shaun's been with us before in 2010,
"He's bowled really well in the Big Bash [Australia's domestic T20 league] in recent years and this winter he got back into the Australian Twenty20 team at the beginning of the year.
"He's one of the quickest bowlers in the world and I think everyone that's going to come and watch us this summer will be excited."
Head coach Robert Croft played alongside Tait, who has retired from the longer formats and played for Essex last summer, during his previous stint with the Welsh county.
"We've done some research, we've looked into how he's performed and he's still at the top of his game," said Croft.
"When he was here, he was giving and helpful as an individual and he provides that X factor to the team that we have.
"Having that strength in depth in the bowling department is very exciting for me."
Glamorgan's opening T20 game is away to Surrey on 26 May, with the first home match against Essex on 1 June.
Barry Baker, from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), said the incident on 22 December, in which six people died, was "clearly a road traffic accident".
He also told the fatal accident inquiry (FAI) that it was "investigated by the correct regulators".
The inquiry is examining the lorry and the health of the driver, Harry Clarke.
Mr Baker, 50, was giving evidence for a second day at the inquiry, which is taking place at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The inquiry has already heard that Mr Clarke had a history of dizzy spells and fainting which he had not disclosed to the DVLA or on job application forms to Glasgow City Council.
The 58-year-old was unconscious at the wheel of the council bin lorry when it veered out of control on Queen Street, before killing six people and injuring 15 others.
The FAI heard that a meeting was held the day after the crash with representatives from the police, the Crown Office, the HSE and others.
It was agreed at this meeting that the crash was a road traffic incident and would be investigated by police.
Mark Stewart QC, acting for the family of Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and Lorraine Sweeney, 69, suggested that Mr Clarke's medical records were not obtained until 7 January.
He said: "So, this incident was written off within 30 hours by a group who convened without the benefit of what could have been significant information in relation to this particular driver, that could have had a bearing on the issue of contravention of the Health and Safety at Work Act?"
Mr Baker said: "I disagree with that. If there's a problem with medical fitness to drive, that's a matter for the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency).
"We would become involved if there were systematic issues."
Mr Stewart said: "The idea that this accident was categorised as a road traffic accident, it must seem that that was hasty and ill-advised?"
The HSE inspector replied: "No. I disagree that it was hasty. It was clearly a road traffic accident, it was investigated by the correct regulators."
The inquiry, now in its fifth week, continues.
It is called the National Crime Agency (NCA), also widely described as the British equivalent of the FBI.
The NCA's website says it "leads UK law enforcement's fight against serious and organised crime."
The NCA became operational in Northern Ireland in May.
Two months later, it announced it was taking over the investigation into allegations about the sale of Nama's property portfolio in Northern Ireland.
The NCA says it works in partnership with other law enforcement organisations "to bring the full weight of the law to bear on serious and organised criminals".
It describes its role as disrupting and bringing to justice "those serious and organised criminals who present the highest risk to the UK".
The agency's organised crime command is tasked with leading and co-ordinating efforts to "identify, pursue and disrupt serious and organised criminals".
Given its wide-ranging remit and resources, it would be reasonable to assume it knows the extent of paramilitary involved in organised crime in Northern Ireland. If it doesn't, it should.
If it does, it should be in a position to provide an assessment of paramilitary involvement to the secretary of state and political parties.
The security assessment to be reviewed by the independent panel announced by Theresa Villiers will contain information from the NCA as well as the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the security services.
The chief constable has already given his assessment of the current role and structures of the Provisional IRA publicly.
George Hamilton has said members of Provisional IRA were involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan in east Belfast, but that there is no evidence at this stage that it was sanctioned by the organisation's leadership.
He has said some IRA structures still exist, but "not for paramilitary purposes".
Unless the police have uncovered significant new evidence we are not yet aware of, the assessment he provides to the secretary of state's independent panel is likely to be the same.
As the PSNI works closely with the NCA, the agency's assessment of IRA structures and involvement in organised crime will be based largely on the information it is given by the police.
So, given that the chief constable has made his assessment public, it would seem logical for the director of the NCA, Keith Bristow, to do the same.
It seems unlikely that the review to be published by the independent panel in October will tell the secretary of state and political parties anything they could not be told today by the NCA and PSNI.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower to 18,120, the broader S&P 500 index ended almost where it started at 2,139. The Nasdaq fell 0.2% to 5,235.
Traders are betting the US Federal Reserve will not raise rates after its meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Traders are less certain about what action the Bank of Japan might take.
It also meets on Tuesday and Wednesday and some analysts think it may take further action to boost the economy.
"We're stuck in a trading range that we probably can't break out of until you get through the Fed meeting, and you get through probably the debate next Monday, and you get a lot closer to the next round of earnings releases," said Rick Meckler, president of LibertyView Capital Management.
"The market is resigned to the fact that the Fed won't move in September," said Matt Jones, head of US equity strategy at JP Morgan Private Bank in New York.
Oil prices made modest gains after Venezuela said both Opec and non-Opec oil producing countries were close to a deal to address the problem of too much oil on the market.
The price of Brent crude oil rose 0.3% to $44.91 a barrel, while US crude climbed 0.4% to $43.78.
Among individual shares, car giant General Motors rose 2.4% to $31.72, after Morgan Stanley raised its rating on the stock to "overweight".
Medway NHS Foundation Trust said its death rate was now 100.19, almost in line with the national average of 100.
The latest statistics were revealed weeks ahead of a full inspection of the hospital, which will take place at the end of the month.
Medical director of Medway Maritime Hospital Diana Hamilton-Fairley said a range of changes had been put in place.
"It's no secret that our high mortality rate was one of the overriding reasons we were placed into special measures back in 2013," she said.
She said the NHS trust had made changes to ensure patients received safe and compassionate treatment with a better safety culture throughout the hospital, and a focus on recognising and responding quickly to patients whose conditions deteriorated.
Staff had also been trained on using the National Early Warning Score which determines the severity of a patient's illness and when critical care is required, she added.
New procedures had been brought in for emergency admissions, frail, elderly patients and those with chronic respiratory and cardiac conditions, she added.
Ms Hamilton-Fairley said other positive outcomes had also been seen which the trust hoped would stand it in good stead for the forthcoming inspection.
The hospital was placed in special measures after the Keogh review.
Fourteen NHS trusts were found to have high death rates in 2010-11 and 2011-12, and 11 were placed in special measures.
They say the animals had to be taken out into the bitter cold after the wooden trailer they were travelling in caught fire in the Novosibirsk region.
The elephants, aged 45 and 48, suffered frostbite to the tips of their ears amid temperatures of -40C (-40F)
But they were warmed up by two cases of vodka mixed with warm water, one official was quoted as saying.
"They started roaring like if they were in the jungle! Perhaps, they were happy," the official told Russia's Ria Novosti news agency.
The animals continued their recovery in a heated garage of a local college where they were brought by a truck under police escort.
The elephants belong to a Polish circus, which has been touring the region, reports say.
Like with humans, alcohol can make animals feel warmer but it actually lowers their core body temperature, scientists say.
But Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quoted Novosibirsk zoo director Rostislav Shilo as saying that the elephants were not harmed or intoxicated by the vodka, and that without it they would have died of hypothermia or pneumonia.
Daryush Valizadeh - also known as Roosh V - wrote a widely criticised article last year calling for the legalisation of rape on private property as a way to "defeat rape culture".
The self-styled "neo-masculinist" has since said the post was satirical.
A petition calling to ban the UK events has attracted almost 81,000 signatures.
The Return of Kings group, which the 36-year-old American created, supports an agenda that men are superior to women and oppressed by feminism.
Group meet-ups planned for Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Cardiff, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds and Shrewsbury had sparked widespread protests.
Mr Valizadeh has posted on his website that he can "no longer guarantee the safety or privacy" of attendees.
Protesters had called for the meetings to be banned and a petition lobbying the police and Home Office to ban the UK events has almost 81,000 signatures. MPs have also called for Mr Valizadeh to be banned from the UK.
Responding to an urgent question about the meetings, Home Office Minister Karen Bradley said the government "condemns in the strongest terms anyone who condones rape and sexual violence or suggests that responsibility for stopping these crimes rests with the victims".
Ms Bradley said the government would not "routinely comment on individual immigration or exclusion cases".
However, she stressed the Home Secretary had the power to ban non-British citizens if she believed their presence was "not conducive to the public good".
"The government is pleased that the Return of Kings events appear to have been cancelled," she added.
In Scotland, a Facebook page and petition were set up in protest at the planned events.
The Glaswegians Against Roosh V page states that "pro-rape women-haters are not welcome in Glasgow" and will face public ridicule when they gather in the city's George Square on Saturday.
The petition urging the Scottish government to Stop Roosh V being allowed to "promote his hateful violent views" in Scottish cities has gained more than 57,000 signatures.
Mr Valizadeh had planned "tribal meetings" for "heterosexual men only" across the globe on Saturday.
But he announced on his blog on Wednesday: "I can no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend on February 6, especially since most of the meet-ups can not be made private in time.
"While I can't stop men who want to continue meeting in private groups, there will be no official Return Of Kings meet-ups.
"The listing page has been scrubbed of all locations. I apologize to all the supporters who are let down by my decision."
Mr Valizadeh has published 15 books on how to "pick up women".
SNP MP Owen Thompson has written to the Home Secretary calling for Roosh V to be prevented from entering the UK, although there is no suggestion he is planning to come to Scotland.
And SNP MP Tommy Sheppard has tabled an Early Day Motion at Westminster condemning the nature of the meetings.
George Osborne outlined plans in his statement to invest £7m in new air routes "including from Dundee to Amsterdam".
Airline Flybe had applied to a fund to establish the route to the Netherlands.
Airport operator HIAL said a new service could transform the city and the region.
Inglis Lyon, managing director of HIAL, said: "We are delighted that Flybe's application to the Regional Connectivity Fund to operate a new Dundee to Amsterdam service has been approved.
"This is a fantastic achievement for Dundee and the team who have worked tirelessly to get to this stage."
The airport said it now needed to work with Flybe, Transport Scotland and Dundee City Council to "take the successful bid forward".

The event in Wolverhampton honoured one of the city's most famous sons, legendary cyclist Percy Stallard.
Stallard, who died aged 92 in 2001, organised the historic 59-mile ride for 40 cyclists from Llangollen to Wolverhampton on 7 June, 1942.
Riders set off from Broad Street, where Stallard ran his cycle shop for many years.
They rode to the City Archives, based at the former Molineux Hotel, where Stallard formed the Midland League of Racing Cyclists.
In the early 1940s road races were popular across Europe but in Britain, cyclists only ever raced on track.
Stallard came up against opposition from the National Cyclists' Union when organising his event, but won support from police and got sponsorship from local newspaper the Express & Star.
The celebration was organised by Wolverhampton Wheelers Cycling Club, of which Stallard, who competed for Great Britain during the 1930s, was a member.
Luke Willians, organiser, said: "If it wasn't for Stallard, the racing pioneer, you wouldn't have road racing.
"He was a forward thinker, he could see into the future, he wasn't someone who would look into the past all the time."
The war hero, born in the Leith area of Edinburgh in 1919, died earlier this year at the age of 97.
He was renowned for flying 487 different types of aircraft - a world record that is unlikely to be matched.
The items, including his Distinguished Service Cross and CBE, were bought by The National Museum of the Royal Navy after failing to sell at auction.
They were purchased, for an undisclosed sum, by The Fleet Air Arm Museum - representing the flying arm of the Royal Navy - in Yeovilton, Somerset.
The medals were recently valued at between £150,000 and £200,000.
The collection, which also features Capt Brown's Air Force Cross, awarded in 1947, and the Defence Medal with King's Commendation for Brave Conduct, along with his flying logbooks, which date from 1942, to his final flights for the Fleet Air Arm in 1970, was put up for auction at Bonhams in London by the pilot's family.
The museum stepped in and was able to reach an agreement with the family thanks to the "intervention of a generous donor".
During World War Two, Capt Brown flew fighter aircraft and had the most aircraft carrier landings, with 2,407 - including the first in a jet-propelled aircraft. He also achieved the most catapult launches with 2,721 and carried out some of the world's first helicopter tests.
In the course of his aviation career, he survived 11 plane crashes. He also witnessed the liberation of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp and later became good friends with the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.
A spokesman for the museum said: "We are delighted to announce that we have been able to secure the medals and log books of Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown following the intervention of a generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous.
"It is fair to say that Capt Brown was by many measures the Fleet Air Arm's most significant pilot of the post-war period and we are thrilled and honoured to be able to class this collection as one of our own.
"We can now preserve the record of innovation which is contained within Capt Brown's log books which includes previously untapped information and display them for the world to see."
John Millensted, Bonhams head of medals and coins, said that Capt Brown's family had decided to sell the extraordinary archive "so that others might appreciate them".
He added: "We are delighted that the medals are going to such an appropriate home where visitors will be able to learn about the achievements of this extraordinary man."

Hogg received 30% of the public votes, with Billy Vunipola (27%) second after helping England to the Grand Slam.
Wales wing George North, the top try-scorer with four tries, came third in the public vote with 11%.
Hogg, in superb form throughout the tournament, capped by a wonderful solo try against Ireland, told BBC Scotland the award "means a great deal".
"I played in a very good Scotland side these past few weeks, and to get the award is really pleasing," he added.
"I was playing with confidence, I was having lots of fun as well. The game plan suited our back division and it was good to get a couple of good wins on the board.
"For us now, that's the minimum standard; we've got to be winning game after game and looking to win trophies."
With the Scots in desperate need of a win after nine Six Nations defeats in a row, Hogg created two tries as Vern Cotter's men swept to victory over Italy in Rome.
With the Scots in desperate need of a win after nine Six Nations defeats in a row, Hogg created two tries as Vern Cotter's men swept to victory over Italy in Rome.
After crossing for his team's opening try against France at Murrayfield, Hogg's audacious mid-air flick to send Tim Visser over in the corner sealed a first Scottish victory over the French in a decade.

He then lit up the Aviva Stadium with a majestic score from inside his own half against Ireland, further evidence the 23-year-old is playing the best rugby of his career.
"We're all thrilled to have a Scottish player recognised by the public in a year where three teams finished above them in the Six Nations," said Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend.
"That shows what an impact he had. It's a testament to how Stuart has conducted himself, how he's worked really hard during games and shown his ability."
Vunipola was a consistently impressive figure as England delivered five wins from five in Eddie Jones' first Six Nations as head coach.
The powerful number eight finished the campaign in the top five for ball-carries, metres made, defenders beaten and offloads.
Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray came fourth, with England wing Jack Nowell fifth and Italy captain Sergio Parisse making up the top six.

It aims to improve the treatment and survival rates at Cardiff's Velindre and Swansea's Singleton hospital.
The 3D scanning pinpoints the exact site of a tumour and maps the cancer's behaviour more accurately to target it with radiotherapy.
The trial, starting later this year, is being funded by two charities.
It will combine modern radiotherapy with advanced medical imaging, known as PET.
Doctors say this sort of PET scanning not only sees the tumour's outline, as it would on a CT or MRI scan, but it also sees the tumour's activity.
This provides far more detail and it is hoped it will give doctors an insight into how the cancer responds to treatment.
"We inject patients with a radioactive sugar which is taken up by tumour cells, because they're dividing very rapidly, and then we can see that sugar that accumulates in the tumour on a scan like a PET CT scan," said consultant oncologist Dr Mererid Evans.
"It's not just anatomical, it gives us a measure of how the tumour is behaving."
Dr Evans said it was the first example of so-called "dose painting" in Wales and it has not been done before with computer modelling to target the cancer.
"What we're planning with the research is to do PET CT scans, not just before treatment to help us target tumours better, but also during treatment so we can see how the tumour is responding to treatment," she added.
"So we will be able to potentially adapt the radiotherapy during the course of treatment to give a higher dose to those very active areas of the tumour."
These type of tumours are being researched because of the complex anatomy of the head and neck.
Once patients on the trial have received initial radiotherapy to eradicate the bulk of the cancer, they will then undergo the PET scans on a £1.8m machine at Cardiff University's £18m PETIC facility.
Dr Tom Crosby, clinical lead for the Moondance programme at Velindre cancer hospital in Cardiff which has helped fund the trial, said it would provide better outcomes for patients.
He added: "This personalised approach offers the possibility of achieving the holy grail of precision oncology, hitting the tumours harder with higher doses of radiation, improving the chance of disease control and possibly cure, whilst sparing normal tissues which when damaged can lead to disabling long terms side effects."
Prof John Moore, president of Cancer Research Wales which is also part-funding it, said, if successful, the "ground-breaking technology" could be transferred to other UK cancer centres and used to treat other tumour types.
Muir's time of 14 minutes 49.12 seconds beat fellow Scot Liz McColgan's 25-year-old record by 14 seconds.
"I am delighted to get it and it is nice to know now where I am at in terms of the 5,000m," said Muir, 23.
"I've been in South Africa training, and the sessions there since we came back were at PB times for 5,000m so I felt good going into tonight's race."

Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland on Thursday, McColgan described Muir as "world class", but questioned if her feat satisfied all the criteria to make the record stand. British Athletics has since confirmed that Muir's time is official.
Muir broke her own British 1500m record at the Diamond League meeting in Paris in August and reached the 1500m Olympic final at Rio 2016.
The Scot will next captain the Great Britain team competing at Saturday's Great Edinburgh International Cross Country, which will be shown live on BBC One from 13:15 GMT.
Muir lines up as part of the mixed 4x1km relay team, while Sir Mo Farah competes in the men's 8km race and Gemma Steel and Steph Twell in the women's event over 6km.
The 22-year-old Wales international was knocked out during Friday's 52-30 Premiership win over Wasps.
It was North's fourth head injury in the last five months and he is now seeking advice from a neurosurgeon.
"We won't play him at the weekend. Clearly he had a nasty knock," Saints coach Jim Mallinder said.
"He's making good progress. The day after he was up and about.
"He's improving and down there at the moment going to see a neurologist. We'll wait to see what the experts say."
Wasps forward Nathan Hughes has been banned for three weeks for the incident that led to North being knocked unconscious.
Hughes was found guilty by an RFU disciplinary panel of "striking with the knee and/or shin".
North missed Wales' 12-6 win over South Africa in the autumn internationals after being concussed against New Zealand, and was then struck twice on the head while playing against England during the Six Nations.
Former World Rugby medical adviser Dr Barry O'Driscoll said on Monday that North should not play again this season.
When asked if North's season could be at risk because of the injury, Mallinder replied: "I think you have just got to be careful not to get too carried away.
"There are a lot of so-called experts out there giving amounts of weeks and months that players should be out.
"You need to look at every single player individually, you have got to know what their medical record is and what has happened in the past.

An unidentified attacker in a car shot Mr Nemtsov four times in the back as he crossed a bridge in view of the Kremlin, police say.
He died hours after appealing for support for a march on Sunday in Moscow against the war in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the murder, the Kremlin says.
President Putin has assumed "personal control" of the investigation into the killing, said his spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Investigators said the murder could have been "a provocation aimed at destabilising the country".
The investigative committee said in a statement that several motives for the killing were being considered including "Islamic extremism".
US President Barack Obama condemned the "brutal murder" and called on the Russian government to conduct a "prompt, impartial and transparent investigation".
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko described Mr Nemtsov as a "bridge between Ukraine and Russia".
"The murderers' shot has destroyed it. I think it is not by accident," he said in a statement published on his administration's Facebook page.
In a recent interview, Mr Nemtsov had said he feared Mr Putin would have him killed because of his opposition to the war in Ukraine.
Mr Nemtsov, 55, served as first deputy prime minister under President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s.
He had earned a reputation as an economic reformer while governor of one of Russia's biggest cities, Nizhny Novgorod.
Falling out of favour with Yeltsin's successor, Mr Putin, he became an outspoken opposition politician.
A lawyer for Mr Nemtsov reported that he had received death threats over social media in recent months; but for now there's only speculation as to why he was targeted. He openly opposed Moscow's role in the crisis in Ukraine - and the annexation by Russia of Crimea.
He had been planning a rare public protest on Sunday against both things - and a growing economic crisis in this country.
Since his death, social media has been flooded with tributes to a man remembered by friends as decent, honest and a democrat. He had been pushed to the political margins in Vladimir Putin's Russia, but he was still prominent enough for someone to want to kill him.

Russian and world reaction
Mr Nemtsov was shot at around 23:40 (20:40 GMT) on Friday while crossing Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge accompanied by a woman, Russia's interior ministry said.
He was shot with a pistol from a white car which fled the scene, a police source told Russia's Interfax news agency.
According to Russian-language news website Meduza, "several people" got out of a car and shot him.
One of the politician's colleagues in his RPR-Parnassus party, Ilya Yashin, confirmed Mr Nemtsov's death.
"Unfortunately I can see the corpse of Boris Nemtsov in front of me now," he was quoted as saying by Russia's lenta.ru news website.
Flowers were left at the site of the shooting through the night.

In his last tweet, Mr Nemtsov sent out an appeal for Russia's divided opposition to unite at an anti-war march he was planning for Sunday.
"If you support stopping Russia's war with Ukraine, if you support stopping Putin's aggression, come to the Spring March in Maryino on 1 March," he wrote.
Speaking earlier this month to Russia's Sobesednik news website, he had spoken of his fears for his own life.
"I'm afraid Putin will kill me," he said in the article (in Russian) on 10 February.
"I believe that he was the one who unleashed the war in the Ukraine," he added. "I couldn't dislike him more."
Mr Putin has been widely accused of fomenting the bloody rebellion in east Ukraine - an accusation he denies. Fighting there followed Russia's annexation of Crimea in March last year.
Almost 5,800 people have died and at least 1.25 million have fled their homes, according to the UN.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers.
Independent experts echo that accusation while Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".

One user complained of receiving more than 90 marketing messages from Orange, one of EE's brands, in a four-day period.
The text messages were reminders that the customers were eligible to add to their plans numbers that they can call for free.
EE said it was the result of a technical error that it was still working to fix.
Customers complained on social media and on the firm's own website.
"What is going on here? Both my wife and myself have been bombarded with texts about adding a new magic number for several days now and I'm getting mighty sick of it," wrote one customer on EE's website on Saturday.
"Orange have now texted me 40 times in three days telling me I can add a magic number. Yeh, that's not annoying at all," wrote Laura Brannan on Twitter.
And another Twitter user Siobhan Ring wrote: "If I get one more text from @orange saying I can add a new magic number I may scream!! Receiving around 50 a day!"
The messages read: "Hi from Orange. Congratulations: you can now add another Magic Number." It included a link customers could follow to do so.
In response to the complaints on the website, a member of EE's community team named as Miles wrote on Sunday that the firm was "having an issue" with the text message service.
He wrote: "This reminder should only be sent once, but some customers are getting multiple reminders.
"If you've received any of these duplicate messages, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. Remember: you're not charged to receive magic number reminders."
He added that he expected to be able to give customers an update on Monday, but none has been issued so far.
An EE spokesman confirmed the details of Miles' post, but could not give any information on the number of people affected.
The central defender has joined the Scottish Premiership club untl the end of the season, subject to international clearance.
Keown, 21, joined Reading's academy in 2011, signing a new three-year contract at the club in 2015.
He has made two appearances for the Royals, and has been capped twice at under-21 level by Republic of Ireland.
Peter Clarke said it was "completely unjust" that offenders serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) terms were "languishing in jail".
He warned that IPP sentences, abolished in 2012, were having a serious effect on prisoners' mental health.
The Ministry of Justice said a new unit had been set up to tackle the problem.
More than 3,800 prisoners in England and Wales are serving indeterminate IPP sentences, designed to protect the public.
Of those, 500 should be let go, former Justice Secretary Michael Gove said, when he delivered the annual Longford lecture in memory of prison reformer Lord Longford.
Mr Gove said executive clemency should be granted to release prisoners who had served far longer than the tariff for their offence and had now - after multiple parole reviews - served even longer than the maximum determinate sentence for that offence.
Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, Mr Clarke said Mr Gove was the latest in a line of secretaries of state who had pointed out flaws in the system.
The prisons inspectorate identified problems with IPP sentences eight years ago, yet little had been done since and progress was "painfully slow", Mr Clarke said.
He added: "This should be addressed as a matter of urgency, and it's not just a case of resources - there have been failings and blockages in the prison service, in the probation service and the parole board.
"And we suggest that the only person who's got the authority to get a grip on the way things happen - it may mean policy changes...is the secretary of state [Liz Truss]."
On prison visits, he said inmates - including one who was seven-and-a-half years over his tariff - told him they felt "trapped in the system" and unable to prove that they were no longer a risk to the public.
One IPP prisoner, James Ward, told the BBC he feared he would never get out. He is in his 11th year in prison after being given a 10-month sentence for arson.
Introduced in 2005, the sentences were designed for high-risk criminals responsible for serious violent or sexual offences.
If, at the end of their tariff, their danger had not been reduced sufficiently, they would continue to be detained until they had satisfied the Parole Board that they could be managed safely in the community.
But the punishments were abolished in 2012 after it emerged they were being used far more widely than intended - and in some instances for low-level crimes.
Some 3,200 prisoners have served more than the tariff or minimum sentence they were given, while 400 of them have served at least five times the minimum.
Mr Clarke was speaking as HM Inspectorate of Prisons released its report saying "significant failings" in the prison, probation and parole systems were contributing to the numbers still in custody years after the end of their tariff.
They have been denied the opportunity to demonstrate whether they present a continuing risk to the public, or to have this properly assessed, the study added.
Mr Clarke said it was widely accepted that the implementation of the sentence was "flawed".
He said that while some on IPP sentences remained dangerous, others presented a much lower risk to the public but "system failures have impeded their progress".
"The problems with the legacy of the IPP sentence are well understood and there is an openness in government to find new and innovative solutions to the problem," he said
James Ward was given a 10-month IPP for arson in 2006. Now in his 11th year in prison, he still has no release date.
He regularly self-harms, sets light to his cell, barricades himself in and has staged dirty protests.
With a low IQ, and mental health problems, he cannot cope with prison life.
In a letter he wrote to the BBC last week, he said he was struggling inside prison.
''I'm hoping they let me out with some support because I'm not getting none in here.
"Hopefully it will happen but I doubt it."
He has a parole board hearing in January, when his solicitor will be arguing for his release.
His sister, April Ward, says he has recently cut his wrist.
"We always worry about James," she said. "The biggest fear for my mum and dad is that they will never see James walk free and live a normal, happy life."
She said his prison had given him the job of cleaning out prisoners' cells, which meant wiping blood off the walls where other prisoners had self-harmed.
Prisoners asked him to pass drugs between the cells and when he refused, they threw things at him.
"He feels like he's been forgotten about, that nobody wants to help him. Nobody wants to take responsibility for the IPP sentence. It's madness," she added.
Prisoner ‘trapped’ in jail for 10 years
In July, the Parole Board chairman Nick Hardwick said Ms Truss "needed to consider" changing the release test to make it easier for IPP prisoners to be freed.
In Wednesday's lecture, Mr Gove called Mr Hardwick "superb" and said he should be given the resources and flexibility to ensure more IPP cases could be processed and more individuals released.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "Public protection remains our key priority, however this report rightly highlights concerns around the management of IPP prisoners.
"That is why we have set up a new unit within the Ministry of Justice to tackle the backlog and are working with the Parole Board to improve the efficiency of the process."
The England captain became his country's all-time record century-maker and the youngest batsman of any nationality to pass 7,000 runs on Thursday.
On Friday, he looked set to record his third double century in Tests but was run out in bizarre fashion for 190 when he failed to ground his bat before swerving to avoid Virat Kohli's throw at the stumps.
It was the first time the 27-year-old opener had ever been run out in his first-class career.
Here are some of the amazing statistics from this match and his Test career so far.
• 547 runs in five innings, the highest aggregate by an England captain in a series in India, surpassing Ted Dexter's previous record of 409 runs in 1961
• Scored 41 and 176 in first Test, 122 and 18 in second and 190 in third
• Series average: 136.75
• Batted for total of 26 hours and one minute
• Faced 1,160 balls and hit 65 fours and one six
• Became leading Test century-maker for England with 23
• Youngest batsman to reach 7,000 Test runs at age of 27 years, 347 days
• Cook, who passed 7,000 runs in his 151st innings, is the third-fastest England batsman to reach the mark after Hammond (131 innings) and Pietersen (150 innings)
• He is one of only five overseas batsmen to score three or more centuries in a series in India - the others are Everton Weekes, Garry Sobers, Ken Barrington and Hashim Amla
• 60 & 104 not out - scores on his Test debut v India in March 2006
• 7,102 - His Test run tally placing him ninth on England's all-time list. Graham Gooch holds the record with 8,900.
• 294 - highest Test score, against India at Edgbaston in August 2011
• 29 - the number of Test half-centuries he has made, giving a conversion rate of 44% from fifties to hundreds
• 1,234 - Cook's run tally in 2012, second only to Australia captain Michael Clarke
• 766 - cumulative runs in the 2010-11 Ashes series
• 70.20 - Test batting average in 26 matches since the start of the 2010-11 Ashes series, with 10 centuries
• 5 - number of centuries in his first five Tests as England captain (including two v Bangladesh as stand-in in 2010)
• Joint-20th - in the all-time list of Test centurions. Sachin Tendulkar leads the way with 51

The 78-year-old, considered one of Africa's foremost artists, dedicated the honour to "all of Africa...and the great man Nelson Mandela" at a Paris ceremony on Wednesday.
A minute's silence for the anti-apartheid hero was also held.
Sow captured the world's attention in 1999 when his larger-than-life wrestler sculptures were exhibited in Paris.
His latest ongoing series of work, entitled Great Me, features historical figures including Charles de Gaulle as well as Mandela.
His sculpture of the former South African president - made out of a mixture of clay and rubber - features Mandela as a goalkeeper extending his hand "to keep corrupt African heads of state at bay".
Born in Dakar, the artist left for France in 1957 where he obtained a diploma in physiotherapy.
Apart from a three year break in his home country, he made France his home for some 20 years before returning to Senegal in 1984 to make sculpting his full-time profession.
His knowledge of anatomy would help define his works.
He began his series of muscular Nouba wrestlers in the late 1980s, before going on to create further series The Masai, The Zulus, The Peulh and The Egyptians.
The Battle of Little Big Horn, Sow's 35-piece series, was first exhibited in Dakar in 1999 as a preview to the Paris exhibition on the Pont des Arts.
Part of the series was also featured at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2003.
In June, Sow opened a retrospective of his work in Besancon, eastern France, which was to be his last exhibition in his adoptive country before moving all his works to a museum he is building in Senegal.
The artist said sculptures of Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali and Gandhi would also be included in his gallery of men who helped him "not despair of mankind".
The Handle with Care display is at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show in North Yorkshire.
It has been designed to help visitors to enjoy the beauty of their garden more safely, the show said.
There were more than 700 hospital admissions in England due to accidents involving plants and fungi in 2014 - 2015, according to organisers.
Nick Smith, the show's director, said: "Some of the UK's most dangerous plants, such as hemlock and giant hogweed, are also among the most invasive, spreading with ease from hedgerows to gardens and wildflower areas if unchecked.
"With the right information, people can identify those plants with the potential to cause harm and handle them accordingly.
"Laburnum seeds are renowned for toxicity and how many people know that deadly ricin comes from the common castor oil plant or that elderberries and elderflowers, are toxic when not ripe?"
Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna)
Renowned for both its hallucinogenic and lethal properties, both the foliage and berries containing toxins such as atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine. The berries are said to have quite a pleasant, sweet taste and are therefore easy to mistake for edible fruit, such as bilberries, with tragic consequences.
Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)
One of the many foreign plants introduced to Britain in the 19th Century as ornamental plants, it is now widespread, especially along riverbanks. The plant contains furocoumarins, which reduce the skin's protection against the effects of UV radiation. Exposure to sunlight after contact causes severe skin rashes, blistering and burns, but the effects may not start for 24 hours after contact.
Monkshood (Aconitum napellus)
All of the plant is highly toxic and fatal if consumed. Gloves and long sleeves should also be worn when handling Monkshood to avoid skin contact with the sap. Aconite and aconitine are thought to be the key toxins. Ingestion of even a small amount results in severe stomach upset, but it is the effect on the heart, which is often the cause of death.
Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)
Five alkaloids are said to be present in hemlock, coniine, conhydrine, pseudoconhydrine, methyl-coniine and ethyl-piperidine. It causes violent vomiting and causes paralysis of the nervous system. Death is usually the result of respiratory failure.
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
Foxgloves are a source of digitoxin, a glycoside in the drug digitalis, which has been used as a heart stimulant since 1785. It is also well-known for its toxicity in all parts of the plant. Consuming the leaves can cause oral and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In severe cases, symptoms can include visual disturbances, plus heart and kidney problems.
Winter cherry (Solanum Capsicastrum)
The berries are poisonous, containing solanocapsine, which is similar to the alkaloids found in the nightshade family. Their appealing appearance make the fruits particularly dangerous to young children and pets and, although they are rarely fatal if consumed, it is best to keep the plant well out of reach.

Profits from the Harrogate Flower Shows are handed back to the North East Horticultural Society to continue promoting horticulture.

Four consultants from the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch and one at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital resigned on Friday.
It is thought they were concerned at the "continuing uncertainty about the future of Redditch Hospital",
Campaigners want to replace the trust that runs the hospitals.
The future size and shape of the Alexandra Hospital has been uncertain for several years.
Neil Stote, from the Save the Alex campaign group, has described the resignations as a "damning indictment of the trust".
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs both hospitals, has confirmed all five consultants had been offered posts at Warwick Hospital.
None of the doctors would leave their current positions before May, and job adverts have been placed to recruit their replacements.
An urgent transition plan will be put in place and emergency care would continue as normal, a spokeswoman said.
Mr Hunt will meet campaigners, local MPs and senior health officials next week to discuss A&E services.
Felix "Joe" Tsotoovor, who is from West Africa, could now face being deported after he has served his sentence.
The attacks took place at a house in Edinburgh in 2010 and at a building site at Dalkeith, Midlothian, in 2012.
One woman in the public benches shouted "justice" as Tsotoovor, 40, was led to the cells at the High Court in Edinburgh.
A judge told him: "These are serious crimes which require me to impose a substantial custodial sentence."
Tsotoovor had denied raping the woman in Edinburgh and carrying out an assault with intent to rape the girl, but was found guilty after an earlier trial.
The trial heard he had ignored the woman's pleas to stop and pinned her down on a bed.
She said she was six or seven months pregnant at the time and was left crying after the assault.
The child victim told the court that Tsotoovor took her to his place of work in Dalkeith, Midlothian.
She said: "It was like a building site and he was guarding it."
The girl said Tsotoovor had pushed her to the ground and assaulted her but she eventually managed to push him off and run away.
Judge Lady Scott said the rape victim now suffers from depression and, as a result, had lost her employment. She added: "She has lost trust in others and confidence."
She said that Tsotoovor had robbed the 12-year-old victim of the innocence of childhood.
"You only stopped when your victim, with admirable bravery and spirit, fought you off," said the judge.
She said she had taken to account that he was a first offender and that he could be deported after serving his sentence.
Tsotoovor, formerly of Green Park, in Edinburgh, was told that he would be put on the sex offenders' register for an indefinite period.
A member of the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, she wrote her first song - about falling into a black hole - when she was four.
But it was her dance instructor who unlocked her talent for smart, dark pop songs when he asked her to submit a song for class.
Along with her older brother Finneas, Billie came up with Ocean Eyes - an astonishingly assured ballad which compared falling in love to falling off a cliff under "napalm skies".
She posted it on Soundcloud so her teacher could hear it, went to bed, and woke up to a flurry of emails about her burgeoning music career.
Since then, she's been on a steep upswing, signed by Interscope Records and releasing one head-turning track after another. The highlight (so far) is Bellyache, in which she sings from the point of view of a conflicted psychopath.
"Where's my mind?" she trills as an acoustic guitar trades blows with a gut-punch drum loop. "Maybe it's in the gutter, where I left my lover."
It's the pop equivalent of a Tarantino movie - finding comic absurdity in the midst of eye-popping gore. The lyrics might keep it off the radio, but Billie isn't too worried.
"I don't need many people to care," says the singer. "Even if other people don't like it, I like it."
As she gears up to release her first EP, Eilish sat down for a frank chat with the BBC about her lyrical fantasies, getting to grips with the music industry and her very unusual middle name.
Hello Billie Eilish… Have I pronounced that right?
Yes! It's eye-lish, like eyelash with a lish.
Your family name is O'Connell, though, so is that a stage name?
It is my middle name. So I'm Bille Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell.
Pirate! That's an amazing name.
Pretty weird, right? Pirate was going to be my middle name but then my uncle had a problem with it because pirates are bad. Then Baird is my mother's name.

It's been a year since Ocean Eyes went onto Soundcloud. It was written for a dance class, right?
Oh yeah! My dance teacher knew that I sing, so he asked us to make a song and I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
My brother had written Ocean Eyes and we recorded it, basing all of the production around contemporary and lyrical dance. I think of most songs that way - if you can't dance to a song, it's not a song.
Anyway, we put it on Soundcloud, literally to send the link to my teacher and then it just grew from there.
It's been played more than nine million times now. When did you notice it was taking off?
It was really confusing. I didn't understand what was going on. I literally thought it was like my popular friend had reposted it. 'Wow, it's getting so many listens!'
What happened next?
A lot of meetings!
What are those meetings like? Do you go in super-confident, like, "I've got the goods, what are you going to offer me?" or is it totally nerve-wracking?
I was 13 when this started, so I didn't know anything about anything. I'd go into meetings and they'd say, "So Billie, what do you think?" and I'd just be like, "Am I supposed to know? Because I don't,".
But eventually I got the hang of it. And now the meetings I have are a bit more like, "OK, Billie, what exactly do you want?' and then I explain every single detail of every single thing that I'm thinking; and people do it!
It's insane. You have stuff floating around in your mind and you tell somebody and they go, "Oh yeah, we can make that happen". It's like, "What? WHY?".
So it's like Spider-Man. With great power comes great responsibility.
I am exactly like Spider-Man. I promise.
I get the impression from your lyrics, especially, that you have a very clear idea of the things you want to talk about. How do you approach writing?
Lyrics are so important but they're really underrated. So many lyrics right now are just the same thing - "Oh, I love you but I'm sad because you don't love me and... blah". You can say that in a more interesting way.
Me and my brother write a lot of fiction. Like in Bellyache, obviously. I don't kill people.
That's a relief.
Right? But you can put yourself in a character or a situation you would not normally be in. You don't have to be in love to write a love song. You don't have to kill somebody to write a song about killing somebody. It's like jumping into another world.
So do you consider it like acting? Or do you really want to murder someone, but haven't got round to it yet?
Yikes! Maybe...
But both of my parents are actors, and I was in plays when I was younger. Then I went to an audition and I came back going, "I hate this. I'm not doing this ever again."
What happened at that audition?
Some lame stuff, dude.
But it's just fun to get to tell a story [in a song]. If you just write about things you've been through, you might get to a point where you go, "I don't feel like this any more, so it's not worth pursuing".
No. No. It's especially worth it.
What's the lyric you're proudest of?
Well, I wrote Bellyache with my brother, and he wrote Ocean Eyes, and we have a ton of other songs on the EP that I'm really excited about.
Do you find you write better with him than anyone else?
We've had sessions with artists and writers and producers and not that those sessions were bad, but when we write, just us together, it's so much more raw, I guess. And straight from the heart.
Tell me how Bellyache came to be...
I wasn't like, "Let's write a song about killing someone!". We were sitting in my garage rehearsing for a show with my brother's friends. Finneas started riffing on the guitar, and one of them started playing on the piano, and I sang the first line - "Sitting all alone, with a mouthful of gum in the driveway".
Then my brother sang, "My friends aren't far, in the back of the car" and I was like "Lay their bodies," like I had killed them. And he just said, "Woah, that's so cool!".
It just grew from there. He came into my room a couple of days later and he was like, 'dude, I wrote the chorus for this'. And he sang it all, and the last line was, "And now I got a bellyache" and I was like, "That is genius".
It's such a childish line. No grown up says, "I have a bellyache, I gotta go". But it's kind of part of the song, because it's about someone whose really young and knows they're a psychopath. They're like, "Maybe I shouldn't steal this money and kill these people... but I'm going to anyway".
It's a very cinematic lyric. You can see the film opening on you in the car, then the camera cuts to the bodies in the boot.
Some people don't really realise what I'm saying until they've listened to it a couple of times. My friends would be like, "Dude I was listening to Bellyache the other day, actually listening to it, and what the hell were you writing about?".
And then you say, "I'm glad you've heard it. Now never cross me again".
Exactly. Don't wrong me.
Your new song is called Copycat. What's that about?
You'll understand when you hear it, but it's about people who feel justified in copying everything you do. It's not about someone particular, I just wrote it.
I had two sisters growing up - and that sort of thing seemed to happen quite frequently in their peer groups. Is it a girl thing?
It probably is, and it's tortuous. Especially if it's somebody close to you. It's like, "Be your own self - don't try to be me!".
You've just played your first headline show in the UK. Do you get nervous?
Not really. I don't get nerves, I just get excited.
Does your dance training help with confidence and stage presence?
Yeah. I mean, I was really a dancer. Then I got injured, so I haven't really danced since Ocean Eyes came out.
Oh no, what happened?
I strained my growth plate. My bone separated from my muscle in my hip. It was really bad.
It's so weird, because it can't happen to you if you're over 16 - but I was in a class with a bunch of seniors, because I was at that level. We were doing hip-hop and it just popped. So I haven't really danced since then, which was like a year-and-a-half ago, which has been horrible.
There is a dance video for Ocean Eyes, though, so are you on the mend?
I was injured for the dance video, actually. I had sprained my ankle in December,and I had also strained my groin and I have shoulder problems.
That's a sign to concentrate on the music.
I guess it is, but I'm trying to get back into dance slowly.
I love movement. I love moshing. I always heads right for the front and dig in there and mosh really hard with all the guys. None of the girls want to mosh, so I'm like the only girl getting punched in the face.

Although the home side claimed a first-innings lead of six, the Proteas moved to 145-3 by the close, 139 ahead.
Earlier, Jonny Bairstow fell five short of a maiden Test century for England, but a last-wicket stand of 32 between Graeme Swann, who made 37 not out, and Steven Finn earned them a slim first-innings advantage.
Swann removed Graeme Smith and Stuart Broad accounted for Alviro Petersen in quick succession, before Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis looked set to take South Africa to the close.
However, Finn nipped one down the slope to trap Kallis lbw for 31 late in the day, breaking a third-wicket stand of 81 and reviving England's fading hopes of securing the victory that will earn them a series draw.
With Amla - dropped on two by Matt Prior - unbeaten on 57, the hosts need further wickets on Sunday morning if they are to avoid being batted out of the match, the series and their place at the top of the rankings.
"South Africa still hold the upper hand. Unless they lose quick wickets on Sunday, these even matches usually favour the side batting third. England might hope to chase 250-260 - although it is still a decent pitch, you would not want to be chasing more than that."

Under the burning London sun, the pitch played easier than over the two previous days, and England can expect little assistance in bowling out a South Africa side under no pressure to set a target.
Andrew Strauss's side began the day hoping to at least match the tourists' first-innings 309, with hopes of parity seeming to rest on the shoulders of not-out pair Bairstow and Prior.
They moved through the early exchanges without trouble, only for Prior to drive wildly at the first delivery with the second new ball, bowled by Vernon Philander, and present Kallis with a sharp chance at second slip.
Bairstow, who played an integral role in again looked fluent, leaving well and driving on both sides of the wicket.
After Broad popped a catch to short-leg off Dale Steyn, Bairstow found a willing ally in the aggressive Swann, but was stifled by some tight bowling, spending 43 minutes in the nineties.
Eventually, after facing 14 consecutive dot balls, he looked to force a straight delivery from Morne Morkel through the on side and was bowled middle and off stump.
Swann added 19 with James Anderson, who dealt well with a barrage of short bowling before eventually fending another Steyn bumper to gully.
Still England looked likely to concede a deficit, but with Finn - trusted by Swann to take the strike - dealing bravely with the short bowling and assured when defending the full, England inched onwards.
19-23 July: First Test, The Oval - South Africa won by an innings and 12 runs
2-6 August: Second Test, Headingley - Draw
16-20 August: Third Test, Lord's
When Steyn bowled around the wicket, Finn hooked for four, with the partisan crowd given further enjoyment when Smith dropped a regulation catch off the England number 11 at first slip.
Finn eventually shovelled Morkel to JP Duminy at point, but the tide, momentarily, was with England.
They would have hoped to capitalise with wickets before tea, but Smith and Petersen were able to blunt the new ball with few problems.
Yet England restricted the scoring rate to around two runs an over and were rewarded when both openers fell lbw playing across the line, Smith to Swann and Petersen to Broad.
Amla and Kallis repaired the damage, although Amla was reprieved by a diving Prior down the leg side and survived two huge lbw appeals from Swann.
The pair appeared to be batting South Africa into a position of control until Finn got one to seam back into Kallis's pads four overs from the close.
The veteran all-rounder immediately called for a review when umpire Simon Taufel's finger was raised. However, with Hawk-Eye suggesting the ball was clipping leg stump and no inside edge apparent, he left the field visibly unhappy with a decision for the second time in the match.
England had the late boost they needed, but Sunday morning promises to be crucial as they try to preserve their number one status.

Raheem Sterling's move to Manchester City for an initial fee of £44m has been the highest so far.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has hinted at a "surprise" signing despite spending £83m already.
"A new record is likely as clubs look to benefit from the new TV deal," said football finance expert Rob Wilson.
The transfer window shuts at 18:00 BST on Tuesday, 1 September.
Starting from 2016-17 the Premier League TV rights deal increases from £3.018bn to £5.136bn for three seasons.
The bottom club will pocket £99m per season with the champions earning more than £150m in prize money, even before extra money is paid for featuring in a TV match.
Financial analysts Deloitte said the £500m milestone had been reached last Friday.
In addition to Van Gaal's "surprise", Premier League champions Chelsea are reportedly interested in Everton's John Stones with a £26m bid turned down, while Manchester City have been linked with Wolfsburg's Kevin De Bruyne - all deals which could substantially increase the current figure.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think Manchester United are going to go massive on someone again, they need a centre-forward."
The 2014-15 season saw £965m spent across the summer and January transfer windows - but Sheffield Hallam University lecturer Wilson believes there is potential for a record spend across the season.
He also thinks that the new BT Champions League deal worth £897m starting this season has been a factor behind the summer spending.
"What's driven clubs to spend, is not necessarily just Premier League money, but BT entering the Champions League market," added Wilson.
Reports put earnings at £9m for clubs reaching the group stages, with the winners receiving £70m.
Wilson says that although a new record looks set to be broken this summer, he thinks that clubs' net spend might be down as they seek to stay within Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
"Manchester United have spent £83m this summer, which is fairly reasonable after spending £59.7m on Angel Di Maria last season," said Wilson.
"If they recoup about £45m for selling Di Maria to Paris St-Germain, they could sign Pedro from Barcelona and their net transfer spend would still be pretty modest."
Liverpool have spent £32.5m on Christian Benteke, but waited until they received funds from Sterling's record-breaking sale.
"We are seeing clubs being sensible, partially because of FFP," Wilson added. "Fiscal responsibility is becoming routine, and although clubs were resistant before, now they are seeing the benefit of being more frugal.
"It's a good move for football in general."

Along with his fans, many celebrities have backed him publicly on social media.
One of the most controversial comments was from singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya who said Khan was "not at fault at all" because roads were meant for "cars and dogs", not for people to sleep on.
He has since apologised for the remark.
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi asked people on the street for their view on the volley of support for Khan.
The 45-year-old officer had head, arm and leg injuries following the incident at about 18:00 BST on Wednesday in Hockley Road, Tamworth.
He was taken to Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield after being treated by ambulance service paramedics.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and a motorcycle has been seized.
Malan struck 118 not out and put on an eighth-wicket stand of 77 with Toby Roland-Jones at Lord's as the hosts closed on 326-8 - a lead of 260.
Middlesex, who resumed on 47-0, lost three quick wickets after Sam Robson nicked Ashar Zaidi behind for 77.
Malan and Roland-Jones (36) batted for most of the evening session before Roland-Jones was out to the final ball.
Malan's 201-ball knock, his second Championship century of 2015, took his average for the summer to 104.40.
However, Roland-Jones' hour and a half at the crease could prove to be just as vital as he helped turn what looked like being a modest lead into a big one for Middlesex.
Ollie Robinson (3-86) gave Sussex a late boost by removing him lbw with what proved to be the last delivery of the day, but the visitors look set to face a target of around 300.
Labour held power at Lancashire County Council for 28 years until the Conservatives ended that streak in the 2009 elections.
Four years later, Labour were running the authority again, but without a majority. Instead, Jennifer Mein's Labour group have been reliant on Bill Winlow's Liberal Democrats for support.
Currently, the council breaks into 39 Labour councillors, 35 Tories, six Lib Dems, three independents and one Green.
Speaking to candidates from the two biggest parties, it seems neither are certain about winning a majority.
Both will be hoping for victories in the 4 May election in key battlegrounds like Pendle, but could the Liberal Democrats see a resurgence in an area where they've traditionally been highly successful?
One councillor told me Brexit could be a key issue for much of the county and Paula Keaveney, a lecturer in politics at Edge Hill University, agrees.
"People tend to use local elections as a proxy for national issues," she said.
"If there's dissatisfaction with a particular party at the time, they get punished at local elections. Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May have an effect on the result."
Brexit is one issue which UKIP will hope to capitalise on. They say they'll be fielding candidates in most parts of Lancashire and are hoping to gain their first ever county council representative.
There is also the longstanding debate over fracking, which could mean the Green Party can increase its presence at County Hall.
The party will no doubt be hoping for gains in north Lancashire, where they currently hold eight seats on Lancaster City Council.
Geoff Driver's Conservatives will argue the Labour group have made harsh cuts to services over the past four years, but Labour blame the Tory government for a reduction in their budget.
How these arguments will play out at the ballot box is hard to tell.
Ms Keaveney said the county has "this marginality which other areas don't have [so] it's definitely one of the top ones in the country to watch".
It seems, whatever the results, Lancashire politics will remain under a national microscope.
The hour-long programme, entitled Nuqanchik (We), airs on weekdays at 05:30 on radio and TV.
All journalists and producers working on the programme are native speakers.
Quechua was spoken by the indigenous people of Peru before the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th Century.
It was declared a national language alongside Spanish in the 1970s but Peruvians say there is still a strong social stigma attached to speaking it.
Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has backed the new programme and sent its producers and presenters a message in Quechua: "Allinta munay, allinta yachay, allinta ruway," (Wish well, learn well, do well.)
Mr Kuczynski, both of whose parents emigrated to Peru from Europe, said he hoped the programme would help end discrimination.
Presenter Marisol Mena said it would contribute to creating an awareness that Quechua was not a language of the poor or disadvantaged.
"There's resistance, but [Peruvians] have to understand that there are business executives and university professors who speak Quechua as a mother tongue," she told the Agence France Press news agency.
TV Peru said it was planning to launch similar programmes in other indigenous languages.
Daniel Miller, 45, had been riding the machine at his remote property 300km (180 miles) north of Sydney.
When the edge of the dam gave way, the farmer was pinned down by a bar on the three-tonne excavator.
Mr Miller said he adopted a yoga pose - arching his back for air - until a neighbour 500m away heard him shouting.
"I was trapped and had to keep my head up above water using my arms, I guess it was the cobra position," he told Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
"I'm not a yogi but I guess you could say yoga saved my life. That and the will to live."
Rescue crews said the ordeal on Tuesday lasted two hours, but Mr Miller's wife, Saimaa, wrote on Facebook it was five hours.
Mr Miller said he spent "the whole time" thinking about returning to his wife and their two young children.
Police chief inspector Neil Stephens said only Mr Miller's nose and forehead were above the water.
"He's been extremely lucky to survive," he told Nine News.
Firefighters drained some mud and water before wading in to free Mr Miller.
"How he kept his back arched with his nose above the waterline was quite incredible for that amount of time," said Fire and Rescue New South Wales deputy captain Steve Howard.
Mr Miller was taken by helicopter to a hospital in the nearby city of Newcastle, where he was treated for hypothermia and minor back injuries.
"Dan is OK!" Ms Miller wrote online.
"He was trapped... with the weight of his excavator on his back, and with the boggy dam ground below him slowly slipping away.
"It was literally sheer mental strength and determination to survive that got him through. As well as being fit, strong and healthy. Nothing to do with luck.
"Legendary effort from a legendary man."
Jutkiewicz's first goal for Blues - and first since May 2014 - came moments after Adthe Nuhiu had headed against the crossbar for visitors Wednesday.
Gary Hooper had given them the lead going in to the closing stages from Steven Fletcher's clever back heel.
Clayton Donaldson then levelled soon after from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Keiren Westwood.

The game at St Andrew's suddenly came to life in the closing 15 minutes after the main talking point had been Birmingham's appeals for a penalty in the first half.
Former Owls winger Jacques Maghoma appeared to have been tripped by Tom Lees on the edge of the area after he squared the ball.
Birmingham's protests went unanswered and their hopes of taking any points from the game appeared dashed when Wednesday led through substitute Hooper.
They were behind for just five minutes as Donaldson picked himself up to send Westwood the wrong way from 12 yards, having been clipped by the goalkeeper rushing off his line.
It was another substitute who had the final say as Jutkiewicz, on loan from Burnley, suddenly found space to loop his header over Westwood moments after Nuhiu headed Liam Palmer's cross against the bar at the other end.
Birmingham boss Gary Rowett:
"The way we worked hard when we were not playing well certainly gave us the opportunity to do what we did late in the game.
"The changes we made in terms of tactics gave us the chance to get back into the game. Against a team like Sheffield Wednesday you always have to ride out 15 to 20 minutes which I thought we did really well."
Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal:
"I am very happy with our form. We are playing fantastic but not scoring. We again had five good chances against Birmingham.
"If we were not playing well I would be concerned. We play to win but we need to improve our finishing."

Galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i gyflwyno cynllun gweithredu ar gyfer ffermwyr ifanc a newydd ddyfodiaid mae Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru ar ail ddiwrnod y Sioe Frenhinol yn Llanelwedd.
Dywedodd llywydd yr undeb, Glyn Roberts, wrth BBC Cymru y byddai angen cyflwyno ysgogiad ariannol yn ogystal â chymorth i ffermwyr oedrannus allu ymddeol a rhyddhau tir.
Ond mae'r Ysgrifennydd dros Gefn Gwlad, Lesley Griffiths, yn mynnu ei bod hi wedi blaenoriaethu ffermwyr ifanc ers dechrau yn ei swydd.
Bydd dadl yn cael ei chynnal ar faes y sioe yn ddiweddarach i drafod yr heriau sy'n wynebu'r genhedlaeth ifanc wrth geisio gyrfa ym myd amaeth.
Mae ystadegau diweddara' Llywodraeth Cymru yn awgrymu bod y gweithlu'n heneiddio. Ar gyfartaledd 60 yw oed perchennog fferm yng Nghymru erbyn hyn, gydag ond 3% dan 35.
Dywedodd Mr Roberts bod angen mynd i'r afael â "thair elfen bwysig".
"Mae angen tir, mae'n rhaid bod ffermydd ar gael i'w rhentu gan nad yw rhywun newydd sy'n dod i mewn i'r diwydiant yn mynd i fedru fforddio prynu," meddai.
"Felly mae'n hollbwysig bod daliadau cyngor sir yn cael eu cadw."
Gyda'u cyllidebau dan bwysau mae sawl awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru wedi bod yn gwerthu tir amaethyddol yn eu meddiant, cam sydd wedi cythruddo undebau ffermio.
Dywedodd: "Fe gefais i'r cyfle pan oeddwn i'n ifanc i ddechrau allan fel amaethwr drwy fod yn denant.
"Mae'n drist bod lot o ddaliadau'r cyngor sir yn cael eu gwerthu heddiw, dydy hynny ddim yn rhoi cyfle i bobl ifanc.
"Ac os 'na allwn ni ddod â phobl ifanc i mewn 'da chi'n colli agweddau gwahanol a syniadau ffres."
Dywedodd hefyd bod angen "ysgogiad ariannol" i helpu ffermwyr ifanc, a chymorth i ffermwyr oedrannus sy'n "methu fforddio ymddeol".
"Maen nhw angen ysgogiad hefyd i fynd o'r ffermydd fel bod lle i bobl newydd ddod drwyddo."
Yn 26 oed, mae Caryl Hughes newydd ddechrau ffermio 300 erw ger Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, Wrecsam.
Mae'n dod o gefndir amaethyddol ac roedd angen cymorth y busnes teuluol i fedru dechrau ffermio ar ei phen ei hun.
"Roedd rhaid i fi ddod yn bartner yn y busnes er mwyn i fi allu cael y pres tu cefn i fi oedd angen er mwyn siarad â banc," meddai.
"Dwi 'di bod yn lwcus iawn, iawn achos bod gen i'r fferm deuluol y tu nôl i mi a bod fy rhieni yn gefnogol.
"Ond i'r sawl sydd heb hynny mae'n anodd iawn. Mae rheolwyr banc yn gyndyn iawn o fenthyg arian i ffermydd newydd.
"Her arall hefyd yw gorfod ffeindio'r costau i brynu pethau ar y dechrau, prynu stoc a phethau syml fel ci a quad bike, maen nhw gyd yn hanfodol ond yn costio llawer iawn o arian ar y dechrau."
Dywedodd y byddai'n hoffi gweld Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei gwneud hi'n anoddach i dirfeddianwyr a busnesau mawr brynu tir amaeth allai gael ei gynnig i bobl ifanc.
Mae hefyd am weld cynllun 'match-making' yn cael ei gyflwyno ar gyfer ffermwyr hen ac ifanc, syniad sy'n cael ei dreialu gan Ffederasiwn Cenedlaethol Clybiau Ffermwyr Ifanc Prydain.
"Ry'ch chi'n cymryd ffermwr sydd eisiau ymddeol ac yn ei lincio fo neu hi gyda ffermwr ifanc. Y syniad yw bod y ffermwr ifanc wedyn yn dysgu gan y ffermwr hŷn.
"Gobeithio bydd hyn yn rhywbeth y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei weld ac yn sylweddoli ei fod yn syniad da."
Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd dros Gefn Gwlad Lesley Griffiths wrth BBC Cymru fod y llywodraeth yn "gwneud darn o waith gydag awdurdodau lleol i geisio sicrhau bod daliadau amaethyddol cynghorau sir yn cael eu cadw fel ffermydd ac ar gyfer defnydd y sector amaeth".
"Ers i fi gael fy mhenodi dwi wedi gwneud ffermwyr ifanc a newydd ddyfodiaid i'r diwydiant yn flaenoriaeth," meddai.
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) said all services would be suspended from 2 July. They are due to resume on 1 August.
A replacement bus service is being provided for passengers during the closure.
It will follow the subway route, with additional direct services to the city centre operating from key stations.
'Life-expired'
SPT said the work was essential to ensure a reliable service in the future, and comes ahead of the introduction of driverless trains in 2020.
Strategic project manager at SPT Stuart McMillan said: "We need to replace the concrete and the rails in this section in order to maintain the on-going reliability of the service.
"This part of the system was installed in the 1970s modernisation and it's now life-expired and we need to take this work in advance of us bringing new trains into the system."
Park and ride facilities will be available at Bridge Street, Kelvinbridge and Shields Road. Services will run every five minutes at peak times and every 10 minutes during off-peak.
All passengers will pay £1 for a single journey, £2 for a return and £2.50 for an all-day ticket. Child fares will be 50p for a single and £1 for a return.
The Glasgow subway is the third oldest underground system in the world and is 120 years old this year.
It is currently undergoing a £288m modernisation plan to upgrade or replace trains, signalling, platforms and stations.
All the information on the subway suspension and the replacement bus service is available on the SPT website.
The vigilantes had earlier been locked in a stand-off with security forces, who have been monitoring the conflict.
Activists from the Baptist church-connected Pat Jasan group said three people were injured in an ambush, and farmers were holding about 30 others.
Myanmar is the world's second largest producer of opium.
Over the past week at least 3,000 activists with the militia-inspired Pat Jasan have been camped out at an army checkpoint in Kachin state demanding to be let through.
Read more: China's drug habit fuels return of the Golden Triangle
Burmese media report that the stand-off ended when authorities finally allowed the activists to clear some poppy fields on Wednesday. The BBC understands the Kachin state government negotiated their passage.
The vigilantes then engaged in skirmishes with farmers who have vowed to protect their fields.
Myanmar has promised to eradicate opium production, but growing and smuggling the drug remains a key source of income for farmers, rebel groups, militia and the Burmese army.
Myanmar launched a 15-year plan to stamp out cultivation in 1999 - a deadline since extended to 2019.
In recent years, Myanmar's army has clashed with ethnic minority rebels in Shan and Kachin states where poppy production is widespread.
The army, rebels and militias have been accused of taking a poppy tax from farmers.
Opium has traditionally been used as a medicine to treat diarrhoea, dysentery and other ailments.
But over the last decade commercial poppy production has taken hold in Myanmar, with demand from China, but also Australia and Japan, helping to fuel this trend.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said in its Southeast Asia Opium Survey 2015 that the opium poppy grown in Myanmar and Laos had been refined into about 73.1 tonnes to 82.3 tonnes of street-quality heroin. It noted that transnational organised crime groups were making huge profits from the product.
Until the end of the 20th Century, Myanmar, which was part of the so-called "Golden Triangle" with neighbouring Laos and Thailand, was the largest supplier of opium. The region was then overtaken by Afghanistan.
They had attended the event at Gloucester Leisure Centre - known as GL1 - and used the inflatable balls that people climb inside.
The centre said it was aware a "group of children have been taken ill" and the zorb balls had been destroyed.
One parent, Natalie Oakley, said her daughter developed a "severe rash".
She said her daughter's experience, at the end of January, has been "horrendous...simply because of inadequate cleaning".
"What should have been a brilliant two hours of her life at the party has turned out to be now 12 days of misery," she added.
In a statement GL1 said abnormal levels of bacteria had been found in the balls.
It said: "We are co-operating with an investigation being undertaken with the local authority environmental health team and have decommissioned the equipment in use as part of the relevant activity."
Forwards Marvin Emnes and Lucas Joao both joined on loan, while Celtic defender Efe Ambrose could arrive pending a work permit decision.
They were the only deals done by Rovers, who are in the relegation zone.
"The investment is always there for the right player who becomes available at the right price," said Senior.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It was never a case of 'we can't have any money' as there is money and resources there."
Owen Coyle's side have won just one of their last 10 games in the Championship and were beaten at home by Leeds United on Wednesday.
"I had a ridiculous amount of players made available to me during January," added Senior. "It is an expensive month to try and do business and you can make a lot of mistakes if you don't get the right players in.
"Part of my job is also keeping the wrong type of players out of the squad because it would be very easy to say yes, yes, yes, but you end up paying for those mistakes for along time in the future."
She pointed out that a white working-class boy is currently less likely than anyone else to go to university, and that the privately educated dominated the "top professions".
Her cabinet has the highest proportion of state-educated ministers since Clement Attlee was prime minister in 1945.
Justine Greening is the first education secretary to have been wholly educated at a comprehensive school.
However, promising social mobility and delivering it are different things, as previous governments have learned.
For decades now, the charity the Sutton Trust has been the standard-bearer for social mobility in Britain, developing schemes to help pupils from less advantaged backgrounds gain access to elite universities, and helping them into the professions.
The trust's chief executive, Lee Elliot Major, said the Brexit vote underlines the need for a broader policy now, as it exposed a divided country.
Many areas which voted Leave are those same areas where opportunities are fewest.
Mr Elliot Major said: "The political vote that we saw was a direct consequence of social immobility."
One of the Sutton Trust's newest schemes, in partnership with the Fulbright Commission, helps teenagers to apply to American universities and win scholarships to pay the fees.
It is very competitive. There are 10 applicants for every place.
Just 61 British students are going to the US on the scheme this year.
Ben Hopkins, aged 18, from the village of Wheaton Aston in Staffordshire, will soon be heading for Bowdoin in Maine, where he has won a scholarship. It is one of the most highly rated liberal arts colleges in the US, with fees of $62,000 (£48,000) a year.
Ben does not come from a privileged background. His father is a machinist, his mother a teaching assistant.
Neither went to university. The family live in a modest, though immaculate, home, on the outskirts of the village.
South Staffordshire is one of the more affluent parts of the Midlands, with a lower rate of unemployment than the national average.
It is a Conservative area. Nearly 65% voted Leave on 23 June. Those I spoke to cited fears over immigration.
Ben's mother, Tracy, told me he had always been very committed to his schoolwork, and he perseveres until he gets something right: "He's a perfectionist."
She said she wasn't a "tiger mother". Ben had always set his own pace. Both parents are very supportive of their son and proud of his achievement.
Ben told me his teachers had helped him greatly. Some gave up their own free time to give him extra lessons.
He was a pupil at the local comprehensive, Wolgarston High, in the nearby market town of Penkridge. It is rated "good" by Ofsted, and improving. It currently gets some of the best A-level results in South Staffordshire.
Every year, some pupils go to Russell Group universities, and sometimes students go to Oxford or Cambridge.
However, Ben told me that when he visited Oxford he wondered whether he would fit in, as so many students seemed to have gone to private school.
Adam Simmons, head of sixth form at Wolgarston High, said others occasionally felt the same, as there is a strong sense of community in this part of South Staffordshire, and some 18-year-olds do not want to leave.
"Sometimes it's a powerful draw, their experiences in this locality, and they don't want to give that up to go to, well any university, actually," he said.
"We've had students with three As at A-level who've decided to stay at home because they like staying at home."
Though Stafford is just over an hour from London by train, Ben had only visited the capital once before he went for the Sutton Trust assessment.
The school headteacher, Phil Tap, said he was working to arrange more trips for all students. He said there was very little in the local area to inspire and raise aspirations.
So what made Ben such an exception? His family, his teachers and ultimately, himself. No-one told him about the Sutton Trust: he discovered it online.
Adam Simmons described Ben, outgoing head boy, as an "elder statesman" of the school whom everyone respected and felt they could talk to.
Lee Eliot Major, chief executive of the Sutton Trust, urged the new government to consider how to extend social mobility to help more people.
He said; "We can pick talent and then catapult it into opportunity, as with our US programme where you have amazing young people who are going to the Ivy League and other leading universities.
"But what about those areas that are left behind? What about the children who don't go on those programmes? And I think no-one at the moment has got the answer to that."
The new government is considering reversing the ban on new grammar schools, as a way of promoting social mobility. But that's controversial - many argue it will not work.
David Skelton, of the conservative think tank Renewal, said he thought a more sophisticated and complex approach was needed now. He said: "1950s England should not be our model."
He suggested more streaming in schools could be effective, and he endorsed the comments of the new minister for skills, Robert Halfon, who has said apprenticeships should be more highly valued and more could be done to improve vocational and technical training, such as that provided by university technical colleges. | EE has apologised after it "bombarded" customers with texts over the weekend.

Scotland is now one of the few nations in the world to offer the vaccination to all infants.
The vaccination will be given in three doses at two months, four months and a year.
Babies aged two months when the vaccine is introduced will be eligible.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has also advised that when the programme starts there should be a one-off, catch-up programme for infants aged three months and four months who will be attending for their routine vaccinations.
Additionally, in response to an increase in the number of cases of meningitis W, a MenACWY vaccine will be introduced to replace the MenC vaccine used in the adolescents and university freshers vaccination programmes.
From 1 August that vaccine will be offered to students under the age of 25 attending university for the first time this autumn, along with a catch-up programme for all 14 to 18-year-olds.
Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "These two new vaccination programmes will offer families in Scotland extra peace of mind.
"We're delighted to be one of the first countries in the world to introduce a nationwide MenB vaccination programme to help tackle the effects of this disease, which can be devastating for children and their families.
"The Scottish government has been consistent in its support for the introduction of this vaccine and today's announcement underlines our commitment to ensuring the health and wellbeing of our children."
She added: "Around 1,200 people - mainly babies and children - get meningitis B each year in the UK, and around one in 10 die from the infection.
"I am also very pleased to see the expedited launch of the MenW vaccine prevention programme for teenagers. This vaccine also protects against MenA, MenC and MenY, making sure young people are protected at such an important time in their academic lives."
Meningitis B is a bacterial infection that particularly affects children under the age of one.
It commonly affects children under five years of age, and is also common among teenagers aged 15 to 19.
The vaccination will be given in three doses at two months, four months and 12 months, with all babies in Scotland aged two months at the point of introduction being eligible.
There are about 1,870 cases of the infection each year in the UK.
Symptoms include a high fever with cold hands and feet, confusion, vomiting and headaches.
Most children will make a full recovery with early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment, although it is fatal in one in 10 cases.
About one in four of those who survive is left with long-term problems such as amputation, deafness, epilepsy and learning difficulties.
Sue Davie, chief executive of Meningitis Now, said: "Today's announcement is a tribute to the tireless and selfless efforts of our supporters, for many of whom sadly these vaccines come too late. We are ready to support the introductions in any way we can."
Mary Millar, Scotland manager of Meningitis Research Foundation, said: "These two programmes are the culmination of years of research which will spare countless families the trauma of seeing a loved one die or left seriously disabled by meningitis and septicaemia."
Gemma Lessells' son Matthew contracted meningitis B in 2010 when he was 13 months old.
The Inverkeithing mother said: "He was quiet and had a temperature at 4pm. He started being sick at 6pm and by 10pm he was in hospital fighting for his life.
"He had cannulas everywhere, they were taking his blood pressure every 15 minutes. His heart rate was 210 and his temperature on admission was 40.9.
"We were incredibly lucky - Matthew survived, though has delayed expressive speech and suffered night terrors following his hospital stay.
"We are also in the process of discussing possible behavioural side effects with his health visitor, but other than that we have a gorgeous healthy happy boy with a laugh that lights up a room

Swiss attorney Cornel Borbely has succeeded Michael Garcia, who quit in protest in December.
Garcia was unhappy at how Fifa officials handled his investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Borbely said: "I don't take any orders at all from Fifa, none whatsoever."
The 36-year-old, who was Garcia's deputy, told Reuters: "I alone decide whether to open, conduct and conclude an investigation.
"I am completely independent of any Fifa officials, otherwise I couldn't, and wouldn't, do this job. Nobody interferes, neither the Fifa executive committee nor anybody else."
Borbely headed an economic crimes investigation unit in Zurich for three years and has worked as a prosecutor for a military tribunal.
He said anyone coming forward with information about alleged Fifa corruption could do so in confidence, with any tips "carefully evaluated".
The Swiss added: "I also have my eyes and ears open and if I see something that calls for it, of course I open a preliminary investigation."
Fifa has suffered a series of damaging allegations in recent years, including claims of corruption in the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively.
US lawyer Garcia was called in to investigate those allegations and produced a 430-page report last year.
However, when a 42-page summary of his findings was published, which claimed there had been no wrongdoing, Garcia complained to Fifa about its "erroneous" representation of his work.
Fifa dismissed his appeal, prompting his resignation, but has since agreed to release a redacted version of Garcia's full 430-page report. | Fifa's new independent ethics chief says "nobody will interfere" with his task of keeping corruption out of football's world governing body. | 31,759,300 | 379 | 34 | false |
Speaking to BBC Radio 3's In Tune, he said the "radical reducing of public subsidy" was a particular threat to regional companies.
"Opera companies are [being] forced more and more to rely on any private money they can raise," he said.
"Inevitably, a theatre like the Royal Opera House is able to raise more than smaller, less attractive companies.
"That's why we're seeing the extraordinary explosion of country house opera - Grange Park, Longborough, Glyndebourne and so on - and the shrinking of regional opera.
"All our marvellous regional opera companies are in real trouble and struggling."
Grant in aid to England's Arts Council has fallen nearly 30% in the last five years, and opera houses have not been spared from the cuts.
English National Opera was hit particularly hard, with its annual grant cut from £17.2m in 2014/15 to £12.4m in the next financial year, amid concerns over its management and business model.
Vick, who is the artistic director of Birmingham Opera Company and works in many of the world's major opera houses - including La Scala and the Royal Opera House - said he "fears for the future" of the artform.
The 61-year-old was speaking to BBC Radio 3's Suzy Klein ahead of the world premiere of Morgen und Abend (Morning and Evening) at the ROH this weekend.
He described the opera, written by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas, as "an astonishing masterpiece".
"Unusually for opera, it deals with mature emotions," said Vick, who is directing the production about the life and death of a Nordic fisherman.
"The first half hour is about the last moments in the womb and his emergence into life," explained Vick, "and the rest of the opera is about his realisation that he's dead".
Praising the composer as a "genius", he said the opera was "existential, profound, complex and simple all at the same time".
"Today a first-time opera goer came to the dress rehearsal - a woman who does my VAT receipts for me," he said. "She said to me at the end, 'it was extraordinary - I could see the music in the air'.
"That ability - to conjure that image from a first-time opera-goer - is an example of his extraordinary gift."

It is hoped that emergency aid deliveries will start on Wednesday.
Russian forces are monitoring the ceasefire along a key access road in northern Syria that leads to rebel-held eastern Aleppo, reports say.
Some 250,000 civilians are trapped there.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said if the truce held, aid deliveries "should be taking place very, very soon".
He said the UN was waiting for the Syrian government to authorise deliveries and he hoped the people of Syria could look forward to "no bombs and more trucks".
Since the truce came into effect at sunset on Monday, accusations have been made against both rebels and government forces for sporadically violating it.
But there have been no reports of civilian deaths so far.
The Russian military claims US-backed groups have violated the ceasefire more than 20 times. including killing two government troops on the Castello road, which leads to rebel-held Aleppo.
The Russian foreign ministry called on the US "to deal with their clients".
Russia has deployed reconnaissance equipment in Aleppo to detect and suppress ceasefire violations.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said pro-government forces had shelled two villages near Aleppo and an area near Damascus.
It earlier said it had seen reports of aerial bombardment of some villages in Hama province.
The Syrian government says it will not allow aid, particularly "from the Turkish regime", to be delivered to Aleppo without prior co-ordination with it and the UN, state media report.
The UN says its trucks will not move until peace is assured.
"We need to enter an environment where we are not in mortal danger," Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN's humanitarian office (OCHA) said.
The head of rebel-held Aleppo's city council told Reuters news agency that residents there were in desperate need of fuel, flour, wheat, baby milk and medicines.
US Secretary of State John Kerry called on Friday for the Castello road to be demilitarised and said the US would work with Russia to free the route for aid convoys to reach Aleppo.
The Syrian army has said the truce will be applied throughout Syria for seven days, but that it reserves the right to respond decisively to any violation by armed groups.
A number of rebel factions have given a guarded welcome to the deal but expressed reservations about its implementation.
A statement from 21 opposition factions including the Free Syrian Army said they were "fully aware of the trap being set to make us sink in a quagmire of concessions or lead us to infighting that divides our ranks and disunites us".
They said they opposed the targeting of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (known until recently as the Nusra Front) which recently split from al-Qaeda "as this would weaken the military power of the revolution and strengthen the Assad regime and its allies".
If the truce holds for seven days, a key part of the deal is that the US and Russia will carry out co-ordinated air strikes on militant groups - including so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
The deal, described by Mr Kerry as the "last chance to save a united Syria", was struck on Friday in Geneva after months of talks between Russia and the US. It requires both sides to allow unhindered access for humanitarian aid.
The number of deaths recorded since the beginning of the conflict in March 2011 has now risen past 300,000, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
However, it said it estimated the full death toll to be about 430,000.
More than 4.8 million have fled abroad, and an estimated 6.5 million others have been displaced within the country, the UN says.
Jihadist groups like so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham face the joint might of the Russian and US air forces

Cardigan Bay has one of Europe's largest semi-resident populations of bottlenose dolphins.
But the Sea Watch Foundation says a short-beaked common dolphin has now been seen from New Quay, in Ceredigion.
It says the smaller breed, with its yellow and white markings, usually gathers in groups in waters deeper than 164ft (50m).
Sea Watch Foundation - a UK-wide charity which monitors dolphins, whales and porpoises - said there had also been several sightings of the more commonly spotted bottlenose dolphins in the bay in March.
These were "likely to increase" into the summer as dolphins return to the sheltered bay with their young, the foundation said.
The charity's sightings officer, Kathy James, said: "Now is a great time to come to New Quay to observe its wildlife.
"You might get to witness some really interesting interactions between the two species."
Mr Varoufakis spoke after Greece rejected an EU offer to extend its current €240bn (£178bn) bailout, a plan he called "absurd" and "unacceptable".
He said he was prepared to agree a deal but under different conditions.
But the Dutch finance minister said there were just days left for talks.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said it was now "up to Greece" to decide if it wanted more funding or not.
"My strong preference is and still is to get an extension of the programme, and I think it is still feasible," Mr Dijsselbloem told a news conference after the talks collapsed.
Greece's current bailout expires on 28 February. Any new agreement would need to be approved by national governments, so time is running out to reach a compromise.
Without a deal Greece is likely to run out of money.
Mr Varoufakis said there was still "substantial disagreement" on whether the task ahead was to complete the current programme, which Greece's newly elected government has pledged to scrap.
He dismissed the promise of "some flexibility" in the programme as "nebulous" and lacking in detail.
Speaking at a news conference after Mr Dijsselbloem, he said he had been presented with a draft communique by Pierre Moscovici, the EU's economics commissioner, which he had been ready to sign.
However, that draft had been withdrawn minutes before the meeting started, Mr Varoufakis said.
But he sought to play down the setback as a temporary hitch.
"Europe will do the usual trick: It will pull a good agreement or an honourable agreement out of what seems to be an impasse.'"
Two pressing financial issues loom over Greece: whether the government can pay its bills and the stability of the banks.
Greek officials have said the government could keep going for several months, but there are doubts. How long it takes depends to a great extent on Greek taxpayers.
The banks have already seen money being withdrawn and increasingly need central bank loans. If there is no bailout programme, the European Central Bank could pull the plug on the banks.
If it came to that, it really would mean a major financial crisis, with perhaps the imposition of extensive financial controls to prop up the banks and possibly even the re-introduction of a national currency.
It's hard to nail down a date by which an agreement must be done to avert some sort of financial Armageddon, because it depends on the actions of taxpayers, bank customers and the ECB. But time is getting short.
Does Greece have a plan?
Yanis Varoufakis: The finance minister as global celebrity
Before the meeting, German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble had already said he was not optimistic a deal would be reached.
"The problem is that Greece has lived beyond its means for a long time and that nobody wants to give Greece money any more without guarantees," he said.
But French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said European leaders needed to respect the political change in Athens. As he arrived in Brussels he urged the Greeks to extend their current deal to allow time for talks.
Greece has proposed a new bailout programme that involves a bridging loan to keep the country going for six months and help it repay €7bn (£5.2bn) of maturing bonds.
The second part of the plan would see the county's debt refinanced. Part of this might be through "GDP bonds" - bonds carrying an interest rate linked to economic growth.
Greece also wants to see a reduction in the primary surplus target - the surplus the government must generate (excluding interest payments on debt) - from 3% to 1.49% of GDP.
In Greece last week, two opinion polls indicated that 79% of Greeks supported the government's policies, and 74% believed its negotiating strategy would succeed.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has extended his stay to continue negotiations, officials say.
However, a number of foreign ministers have left the talks and China warned compromise was essential, otherwise "all previous efforts will be wasted".
A deal would curb the nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.
Negotiations between the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - and Iran continued on Wednesday at Lausanne's Beau-Rivage Palace hotel after overrunning the self-imposed deadline of 31 March to reach a deal.
On Wednesday evening, a US state department spokeswoman said: "We continue to make progress, but have not reached a political understanding. Therefore, Secretary Kerry will remain in Lausanne until at least Thursday morning to continue the negotiations."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is also returning to Lausanne. He had previously said he would return to the talks as soon as it was "useful".
The P5+1 deal seeks to ensure Iran could not assemble a nuclear weapon in less than a year. The Iranians insist that they have no such ambition.
Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond told the BBC: "I think we have a broad framework of understanding, but there are still some key issues that have to be worked through.
"Some of them are quite detailed and technical so there is still quite a lot of work to do but we are on it now and we'll keep going at it.
Mr Hammond stressed again that he would not sign up to a "bad deal".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier that "one can say with relative certainty that we at the minister level have reached an agreement in principle on all key aspects of the final settlement of this issue". He has now left the talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that "quite a bit" had been accomplished.
He and Mr Kerry held bilateral talks on Wednesday.
However, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Wednesday admitted that "problems" remained, saying there could not be a deal without a "framework for the removal of all sanctions".
The BBC's Barbara Plett Usher in Lausanne says Mr Araqchi suggested there might be a joint press statement on the progress made and the continuing efforts to try to draft a solution.
This sounds less than the framework on political parameters which the negotiators had been targeting, our correspondent says.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who has now left Lausanne, issued a note of caution.
A Chinese statement read: "It is important to give political guidance to the negotiations... it is important to narrow down the differences.
"If the negotiations are stuck, all previous efforts will be wasted. All parties must be prepared to meet each other half way to reach an agreement."
This is a fluid situation, with little information leaking out of the talks and expectations veering between an imminent deal or none at all.
All negotiators keep saying there has been progress, but not enough yet for an agreement.
The key sticking points are well known: the limits on Iran's freedom to conduct advanced nuclear research and a framework for lifting UN sanctions. These are more complicated than US and European economic sanctions, because they directly target Iran's nuclear programme and would be more difficult to re-impose once lifted.
But the main difficulty might be the competing approaches of the two main negotiators, the Americans and the Iranians.
The Obama administration needs as much detail as possible in this preliminary accord to counter opponents in Congress. The Iranians want as little as possible to keep critics quiet while they focus on getting a final comprehensive settlement.
Any agreement would set the stage for further talks aimed at achieving a comprehensive accord by 30 June.
On Wednesday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said again that the concessions offered to Iran in Lausanne would ensure a "bad deal" that endangered Israel, the Middle East and the rest of the world.
After months of negotiations, the basic outline of an agreement is well known.
Iran would scale its nuclear programme and subject it to rigorous inspection for at least 10 years. In exchange, there would be an easing and eventual end of crippling UN, US and EU sanctions.
However, there are some issues yet to be resolved. These are thought to include:
Iran's key nuclear sites

The 30-year-old, recently seen as Nell Gwynn on the West End stage, will play the teenaged warrior from 9 December to 18 February at the Donmar Warehouse.
Arterton, who starred in 2008 Bond film Quantum of Solace, told the Daily Mail that Shaw's play had "a lot of soul".
Yet she admitted that she was not "the obvious choice" to play the title role.
"It's not the type of thing I usually play," the actress told the Mail's Baz Bamigboye. "My characters have usually got a bit more sass."
Notable past Joans include Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dame Joan Plowright and Jean Seberg, who played Shaw's martyred heroine on film in 1957.
Arterton was nominated for back-to-back Olivier awards for her roles in Nell Gwynn and West End musical Made in Dagenham.
The Gravesend-born actress also played the title role in The Duchess of Malfi at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London in 2014.
Josie Rourke, the Donmar Warehouse's artistic director, said she was "thrilled" to be directing the "luminous and compelling" Arterton at the Covent Garden venue.
Other plays in the theatre's 2016 autumn season include One Night in Miami, which recreates a real-life encounter in 1964 between boxer Cassius Clay, activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke and American Football player Jim Brown.
Rourke said the recent death of Muhammad Ali - the name Clay adopted in 1964 - had given Kemp Powers' 2013 play "a new and added poignancy".
One Night in Miami, to be directed by actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah, runs at the Donmar from 6 October to 3 December.

The 20-year-old made 38 appearances for Gateshead this season, having joining in June 2016 after leaving Barnsley.
Smith had played 25 league games for the Tykes in 2015-16 as they won promotion to the Championship.
He has signed a two-year contract with Justin Edinburgh's League One side, providing competition for fellow left-back David Buchanan.
"That's the reason why I've come here, because I feel I can give him competition," Smith told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I can learn stuff off him and make myself a better player, but first and foremost try to take his shirt off him."

Amanda Walker, 48, from Knaresborough, was admitted to Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust Hospital in December 2010 after miscarrying twins.
Her injuries were caused by a medical mask designed to keep her airway open during an operation.
The hospital apologised to Ms Walker, who said the pain was debilitating.
When she woke up from the procedure she had severe pain in her jaw and struggled to open her mouth.

Her dentist later told her that her jaw was misaligned and there was significant damage to the muscles, tendons and ligaments around it, she said.
"My first MRI scan showed that my injuries were similar to that of a car crash victim they were that severe," Ms Walker said.
She has needed a series of operations to repair the damage, including a partial jaw replacement.
"It changed my diet, left me relying on my family more than ever," she said.
Ms Walker received a written apology from the hospital as well as financial compensation, the exact amount of which has not been revealed.
Dr David Scullion, medical director at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We have apologised to Ms Walker for the impact this injury has had on her, and I would like to reiterate that apology now.
"We conducted an investigation into Ms Walker's care with us in 2010 and want to give assurance that we have learned all we can from this incident."
More than 10,000 properties were affected when rain overwhelmed the city's drainage system in 2007.
Hull University expert Prof Lynne Frostick said flooding remained a threat despite investment in drainage and pumping stations.
Yorkshire Water said it had spent £30m to improve the sewerage system.
Prof Frostick, co-author of a 2010 report into the flooding, said: "Yorkshire Water has invested quite a lot money into improving some of the pumping facilities and people have been told a bit more about flooding and given more information that would allow them to prepare for flooding.
"But I think if we did get that amount of water again, then I think we'd have flooding. It may not be as bad as last time but we'd still have flooding."
Richard Sears, from Yorkshire Water, said the company had spent £30m on improving pumping systems and building water storage lagoons around Hull.
"We've increased the resilience of our sewerage system," he said
"So, if we did see a repeat of the rainfall event of 2007 Hull would probably still flood, but it wouldn't be on the scale or severity of what we've seen in the past."
An independent review into the 2007 floods said Yorkshire Water had ignored repeated warnings about the state of its drainage and pumping systems.
In 2010, Hull City Council commissioned the report from an independent body chaired by Tom Coulthard, professor of physical geography at Hull University.
It concluded that more than 8,600 homes, 1,300 business and 90 schools suffered flood damage as a result of the heavy rain.
Speaking after a riot at Birmingham prison, Nick Hardwick said there was only "a small window" in which to act.
The Ministry of Justice is recruiting an additional 2,500 prison officers to tackle prison violence.
But Mr Hardwick told the BBC the situation was "very grave" and it would be too long before the extra staff were trained and effective.
Mr Hardwick, formerly Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons, told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend programme that there were widespread fears of violence in the prison system.
HMP Birmingham, where inmates took over four wings and started fires on Friday, had not even been among the institutions causing the most concern, he said.
"The levels of violence and suicide and self-harm are not only increasing, but the rate at which they are increasing is accelerating.
"Successive ministers cannot say that they were not warned about this."
A gold command centre set up by the National Offender Management Service when trouble broke out in Birmingham is still in operation and continuing to monitor any signs of potential disturbance there and elsewhere.
The BBC understands there was a brief disturbance at Hull prison involving a number of inmates transferred from Birmingham, and one wing was in lock-down for up to two hours.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "HMP Hull, like all prisons across the estate, is being closely monitored for signs of potential unrest.
"We have specially trained prison staff available to respond to any disturbances."
Last month, Justice Secretary Liz Truss announced a £1.3bn investment in new prisons, as well as more prison officers, extra drug tests and greater autonomy for governors.
She has also promised a zero-tolerance approach to attacks on prison staff and said body-worn cameras would be provided at jails across the country.
But Mr Hardwick said the government must take urgent action to reduce the prison population of 85,000 to a more manageable figure.
"We are not prepared to pay for the size of the prison population that we now have, so the balance between the prison population and the number of staff that we've got is now unworkable," he said.
"It would be a mistake to take emergency, reckless measures around the prison population. But if you don't do things in a planned and sensible way then further down the track you may be forced into a much more difficult position."
Alex Cavendish, a former prisoner turned academic who runs the Prison UK blog, also told the BBC he was concerned more prison officers was not the answer.
"I'm not convinced that they will be able to retain them, or that they will be able to get them deployed, trained effectively, onto wings in time to stop the next round of riots.
"And I am very, very much afraid that we are going to see more of this disturbance. Mercifully, at Birmingham nobody was seriously injured or killed, but that cannot be ruled out in the future."
The 33-year-old victim was struck on Tooting Bec Road at the junction of Dr Johnson Avenue, Streatham, at 03:10 BST on Saturday.
Met Police said the man, whose identity is not being released at this stage, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have released CCTV images of a silver car they want to trace in connection with the incident.
They would also like to speak to the driver of a Hackney carriage taxi who was seen by witnesses near the scene at the time of the collision.
Det Sgt Phil Hames of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Merton said: "I need to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or has information - including reports of a car which sustained unexplained frontal damage overnight - that may help identify the driver or the vehicle involved."
The appeal number for people to call police is 020 85435157.
Max Gradel gave the much-changed Cherries the lead with a low drive that went in off the base of the post.
But the League Two side were level when Cole Stockton controlled a long throw and swept in at the near post.
Wilson - who had two loan spells with Bournemouth in 2007 - won it from 25 yards with a low shot.
Bournemouth will host Championship side Preston in the next round.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe:
"The result was the most important thing.
"It was a tough night. Morecambe are a very direct, physical team and they put us under pressure at times. But thankfully we stood up to that.
"I think it was important that we won. We wanted to get through, and that hopefully gives us a platform for Saturday."
Morecambe boss Jim Bentley:
"I'm proud of the team.
"They've given it everything and come off the pitch with no regrets.
"It was a proper game, a great game to be involved in. I'm disappointed but I'm massively proud of the players' efforts.
"Unfortunately we just came up a bit short and go out of the cup but we've got to take confidence from that."

Lancaster has dropped fly-half George Ford in favour of Owen Farrell and brought in Sam Burgess in the centres.
England beat Fiji in their first match, while Wales got the better of Uruguay.
Lancaster said: "The game will be judged a success if we win. If we lose I will be questioned. Clearly my selection heightens it."
Jonathan Joseph's chest injury has prompted the changes in England's backline.
With Burgess paired with Brad Barritt, Lancaster is fielding the 14th centre partnership of his four-year tenure.
Just 11 months since he switched codes, and after only 112 minutes of Test rugby, Burgess will be up against British and Irish Lion Jamie Roberts, capped 72 times by Wales.
"We need to have good defenders to stop Wales on the gain-line," said Lancaster.
"Sam's a good and powerful defender. But also I think he offers us a threat in attack. We don't always have to use the threat that he is. Sometimes you can bypass him."
Mike Ford, formerly England's defence coach, said son George was "devastated" to have been relegated to the bench
Lancaster said: "Obviously George is disappointed, but in the same way it is about how you deal with disappointment.
"In my mind, they are both word-class players and we are just playing in a different way, a different order."

The Ireland front row looked in discomfort after being replaced early on in the 27-15 defeat by Scarlets.
"Jack got a whack on his arm so we'll see how he is. He may need to get an X-ray," said Leinster coach Leo Cullen.
Sean O'Brien, another Lions squad member, was a late withdrawal from the Leinster bench because of a tight calf.
Flanker O'Brien hasn't played since missing Leinster's European Champions Cup semi-final defeat by Clermont on 23 April because of a hamstring problem.
His ongoing fitness issues are likely to be a concern for Lions coach Warren Gatland, with the squad departing for New Zealand on 29 May.

Leinster prop Tadhg Furlong, also part of the Lions squad, hobbled off in the second half of Friday's defeat by Scarlets but his issue was said to be cramp.
Lions fly-half Johnny Sexton required treatment during the game but was unscathed afterwards.
Garry Ringrose, a possible contender for a late Lions call-up if any of the selected centres are ruled out, also appears to be fine despite coming off late in the game with a knee injury.
Wales hooker Ken Owens missed Friday's semi-final because of an ankle injury but Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac said on Saturday that the 30-year-old should be fit for the Lions tour.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) said high winds and rain meant planes could not fly safely.
Malaysian PM Najib Razak says satellite data showed the plane ended its journey in remote seas west of Australia.
In Beijing relatives of passengers clashed with police outside Malaysia's embassy, as China asked to see data on which Malaysia's conclusion was based.
About 200 relatives marched to the diplomatic mission, with scuffles breaking out as they confronted security personnel.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It was carrying a total of 239 people, including 153 Chinese nationals.
A multinational search effort has focused on seas some 2,500km (1,500 miles) to the southwest of the Australian city of Perth.
But in a news conference late on Monday, the Malaysian leader said it had to be concluded "with deep sadness and regret" that according to new data "flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean".
Speaking to media on Tuesday, Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said: "We do not know why, we do not know how this terrible tragedy happened."
But he added: "The announcement made last night and shared with families is the reality that we must now accept."
Malaysia Airlines Chairman Mohammed Nor Yusof described the situation as "an unprecedented event requiring an unprecedented response".
"The investigation under way may yet prove to be even longer and more complex than it has been since 8 March," he said.
"But we will continue to support the families as we have done throughout, and to support the authorities as the search for definitive answers continues."
Planes from several nations have been scouring waters far off Perth for signs of the missing plane, in a search co-ordinated by Australia.
There have been several sightings of debris, but none have yet been confirmed as linked to the plane.
In its statement, Amsa said it had undertaken a risk assessment "and determined that the current weather conditions would make any air and sea search activities hazardous and pose a risk to crew".
"Therefore, Amsa has suspended all sea and air search operations for today due to these weather conditions," it said.
Australia's Defence Minister David Johnston said search efforts were unlikely to start again for "at least another 24 hours".
He described the search as a "massive logistical exercise" in an "extremely remote" part of the world.
Mark Binskin, vice-chief of the Australian Defence Force, said: "We're not searching for a needle in a haystack. We're still trying to define where the haystack is."
China, meanwhile, has asked Malaysia to hand over the data that led it to conclude the plane had flown into the sea.
"We demand the Malaysian side state the detailed evidence that leads them to this judgement as well as supply all the relevant information and evidence about the satellite data analysis," Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng said, according to a statement on the ministry's website.
"The search and rescue work cannot stop now. We demand the Malaysian side continue to finish all the work including search and rescue," he added.
Mr Najib said the conclusion the plane was lost was based on new satellite analysis by British firm Inmarsat and information from the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
By Celia HattonBBC News, Beijing
Scenes from Beijing are a demonstration of the extreme levels of anger and frustration felt by relatives of those on the missing plane.
Public street protests are illegal in China but the fact that these relatives were able to organise themselves together, wearing matching T-shirts and carrying professionally printed banners, indicates they feel they have nothing left to lose.
Relatives left their hotel and first boarded three city buses which they said would take them to Malaysia's embassy in downtown Beijing.
But a thin line of Chinese police blocked those buses. So the relatives left the buses, broke through police lines and simply marched to the embassy themselves, chanting slogans like: "We want the truth". Banners read "Mum, Dad, without you what will I do?" and "We want the truth from Malaysia".
Many of the families are convinced that the Malaysian authorities have been distorting facts. Their actions today show they will risk breaking the law and angering the Chinese government in order to get the information they feel they deserve.
Inmarsat had already said it received automated "pings" from the plane over its satellite network after the aircraft ceased radio and radar contact.
Mr Najib said Inmarsat had been able to shed further light on the plane's flight path by performing further calculations "using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort".
The fact that Malaysian officials sent news of Mr Najib's announcement to some relatives by SMS has attracted criticism.
Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, the airline's CEO, said on Tuesday that SMS was used only as a last resort, when the news could not be delivered in person or by telephone, with the "sole and only motivation" of ensuring that families heard the news first.
In Beijing, meanwhile, relatives of passengers on board the plane released a statement accusing the Malaysian government of trying to "delay, distort and hide the truth".
Dozens of them then left their Beijing hotel on a protest bound for the Malaysian embassy, carrying banners asking Kuala Lumpur to be truthful with the relatives.
Police blocked their buses from leaving, so they left the buses and walked there themselves, with scuffles later erupting outside the diplomatic mission.
In Malaysia, newspapers ran black or darkened front pages in tribute to those now believed to have died.
The mother of Wimbledon champions, Andy and Jamie Murray, had been giving evidence to an inquiry looking at the £37.5m Park of Keir scheme.
Ms Murray and golfer Colin Montgomerie are both backing the plan.
Scottish ministers will decide on its future after Stirling Council turned down approval.
More than 1,000 objections had been lodged with the local authority.
The development - on land between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan - consists of a 12-court tennis venue, golfing facilities, a hotel and spa, and 19 luxury homes on land which is currently allocated as green belt in the local plan.
The Scottish government-appointed Reporter Timothy Brian has been asked to review the decision.
He is taking evidence from a number of interested parties, including Ms Murray.
On Wednesday she told the hearing that she was keen to find a site suitable for a tennis centre in a "central location" of Scotland.
Ms Murray said: "For me being a Dunblane person, when this site was mentioned to me it ticked all of the boxes."
She added that it would "deliver tennis on a big scale and serve the local area too".
Ms Murray explained that the tennis facility would not be viable without the golf academy and housing.
"Tennis doesn't stack up by itself - it has to have other things around it," she said.
Ms Murray added that she wanted the development to to be built debt free in order to keep the costs of hiring the tennis courts down.
She believed the sports facility needed to be open to "as many people as possible, regardless of means".
Ms Murray also told the public inquiry the Park of Keir development team involved her and property firm the King Group but there was no "formal" business partnership
She said a state-of-the-art tennis facility would "complement" community-based tennis clubs.
Stirling Council's planning and regulation panel rejected the planning application in December.
At the time, Mark Ruskell, a Green councillor on Stirling Council, said the decision to reject the Park of Keir application was "democratic and based on agreed national and local planning policies".
However, the developers lodged an appeal with the Scottish government in March.
The appeal document said: "We consider that the net economic and social benefits of the amended proposals are significant and considerably outweigh any perceived local concerns over the scale or type of the enabling housing element or any environmental impact of the proposed development."
It also stated that the developers believed Stirling Council "erred in its policy assessment" by focusing on the "residential element instead of considering the development as a whole".
The hearing, by the Scottish government's planning and environmental appeals division, will take evidence over the next two weeks including from those objecting to the plan.
The residential sports training centre is to be used by schools, clubs elite, athletes and the local community.
It has been designed to ensure it can be used as a fully-inclusive training and events venue for para-sports.
The facility was funded through the Scottish government Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund, sportscotland and North Ayrshire Council.
The design is inspired by the flow of a gymnast's ribbon.
Existing sports and gymnastics halls are connected with world-class training facilities and an accommodation block providing 60 fully-accessible twin bedrooms.
Sports minister Aileen Campbell said: "It's wonderful to see it ready to open and to hear how sportscotland are going to maximise the use of the centre for all.
"Facilities like Inverclyde, and the recently opened Oriam, are not just for elite athletes. They have been designed to ensure that communities can benefit too."
Commonwealth Games judo gold medallist, Graeme Randall, who is a sportscotland lead manager, said the organisation was looking forward to welcoming its first guests.
He said: "While generations of Scotland's best athletes have trained here over the years, at Inverclyde we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate and progress in sport."
The Scottish Cerebral Palsy/Stroke/Acquired Brain Injury Squad will be one of the first groups to train at the newly redeveloped centre.
Paralympian and Scotland CP football vice captain, Martin Hickman said: "This is an ideal place for us to come together as a team, allowing us to focus fully on our training knowing that everything we need has been thought about and catered for."
Active Schools co-ordinator Natalie Murray said the centre would inspire local children to make sport a part of their daily lives.
To his supporters he is a heroic revolutionary who overthrew a brutal dictator and has since dedicated his life to improving conditions in one of the region's poorest countries.
To his critics - including many former allies - he is a corrupt and authoritarian ruler who has turned his back on his revolutionary ideals and come to resemble the dictator he deposed.
What is certain is that he has been the dominant political figure in Nicaragua for more than three decades.
Born in 1946 as the son of a shoemaker, Daniel Ortega was still a teenager when he joined the left-wing Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).
It was fighting to overthrow the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza, whose family had ruled Nicaragua since 1936.
In 1967 Mr Ortega was imprisoned for robbing a bank to raise funds for the revolution.
He spent seven years in jail and was severely tortured before being released along with other Sandinistas in exchange for hostages.
In 1979, following a bitter armed struggle in which 50,000 people were killed, President Somoza fled into exile and the Sandinistas took power, inheriting a country in ruins.
Mr Ortega became a member of the five person Junta of National Reconciliation, and in 1984 was elected president.
Most international observers recognised the vote as generally free and fair, despite opposition complaints.
But US President Ronald Reagan dismissed the election as a "sham" and stepped up his support for armed counter-revolutionary groups known as Contras.
This was the height of the Cold War, and Washington saw the Sandinistas as a front for Soviet and Cuban-style communism and a threat to US-backed governments throughout Central America.
The Sandinista government made important gains, particularly in health, education and land reform.
With his olive green guerrilla fatigues and passionate anti-US rhetoric, Mr Ortega became the new hero of left-wing groups around the world.
But the impact of the Contra war and US sanctions made economic reconstruction impossible.
In presidential elections in 1989, to the surprise of many observers, Mr Ortega was defeated by liberal opposition candidate Violeta Chamorro.
He accepted the result, but said the Sandinistas would continue to "rule from below" through its control of the army and mass organisations such as trade unions.
Further presidential election defeats in 1995 and 2001, combined with allegations of corruption and deep splits within the Sandinista movement, led many to dismiss him as a spent political force.
In 1998 his step-daughter Zoilamerica accused him of repeatedly raping her as a child.
Mr Ortega avoided trial by invoking his immunity as a member of congress, but his personal reputation was in ruins.
But with Latin America's political tide moving back towards the left, and with Nicaragua still plagued by poverty and corruption, in 2006 he made a dramatic comeback to win the presidency again.
The man who returned to power was much changed from the revolutionary of 16 years before.
In a campaign masterminded by his wife Rosario Murillo - a poet he met while in prison - the black and red Sandinista flags were largely replaced by pink campaign posters.
The military fatigues were exchanged for white shirt-sleeves and the Marxist slogans swapped for a vague commitment to "Christianity, Socialism and solidarity".
The US and EU froze aid to his government in 2008 after allegations of widespread fraud in local elections.
But massive loans and cheap oil from a new ally - Venezuela's left-wing President Hugo Chavez - have more than compensated for this, boosting economic growth.
In 2009 Nicaragua's Supreme Court and Supreme Electoral Council removed constitutional obstacles to him standing for another term in office - a move the opposition condemned as illegal.
Critics accuse Mr Ortega of running Nicaragua as a personal fiefdom, and of using Venezuelan money as a slush fund to buy support.
Many former Sandinistas accuse him of betraying his revolutionary ideals in a ruthless pursuit of power.
But he retains strong support among the poor in rural and urban Nicaragua, and was the clear favourite to win re-election.
Alex Gray and Tom Mitchell scored tries for England, who were beaten 25-5 by New Zealand in the semi-final.
The Kiwis came from 21-7 down to beat South Africa 24-21 in the final, Joe Webber going over with the last touch.
Scotland lost 19-7 to Samoa in the Bowl final between the teams who finish third and fourth in their groups.
New Zealand, who claimed a hat-trick of Wellington titles, featured two-time World Cup-winner Sonny Bill Williams, who scored a try with his first touch on his rugby sevens debut in a 38-7 win over Russia on Saturday.
He said: "I'm privileged to be playing with such great players, I've got a lot to work on and it's a learning curve, but I'm just glad to be doing it with these guys."
The 30-year-old has committed to the New Zealand sevens team with the aim of playing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Despite their defeat in Wellington, South Africa top the overall World Series standings after reaching the final.
They are two points clear of Fiji, with New Zealand in third place and England are fourth.
England coach Simon Amor said: "The boys gave it their all this weekend. They didn't quite get it right in attack in those final two games but we have a young team out here and it has been an amazing experience for them playing against two incredibly physical sides, I'm proud of them."

Consuming more than four portions a week is a risk, suggests the study of nearly 1,000 French people, published in the journal Thorax.
The researchers believe it could be a preservative called nitrite used in meats such as sausages, salami and ham that aggravates the airways.
But experts say the link has not been proved and more investigations are needed.
Rather than worry about one type of food, people should be eating a healthy and varied diet, they advise.
Processed meat has already been linked with cancer.
What is processed meat?
How much of a cancer risk is processed meat?
Experts say people should eat no more than 70g a day of red and processed meat for good health.
That's about one sausage plus a rasher of bacon a day.
The people in the study had been taking part in a French survey about food and health, spanning a decade from 2003 to 2013.
Around half of them were asthma patients. The rest - the control subjects - had no history of the condition.
The survey looked specifically at asthma symptoms - breathlessness, wheeze, chest tightness - and intake of cured meat: a single portion was two slices of ham, one sausage or two slices of salami.
Among the people with asthma, higher meat consumption was linked with a worsening of their lung symptoms.
People who said they consumed more than four portions a week - eight slices of ham or four sausages, for example - had the biggest deterioration of their asthma by the end of the study.
The experts stress that their work cannot prove diet is definitely to blame. There are lots of factors in a person's life that can make their asthma worse.
The researchers tried to eliminate the most obvious ones, controlling for things like obesity, and the link between processed meat and worsening asthma remained.
Dr Erika Kennington, Head of Research at Asthma UK says: "Although certain foods can be triggers for allergies in some people, there is no specific dietary advice to manage asthma symptoms generally. For most people with asthma, healthy eating advice is exactly the same as it is for everyone else: follow a balanced diet that includes plenty of fresh and unprocessed food and is low in sugar, salt and saturated fat."
Catherine Collins of the British Dietetic Association recommended "a varied and Mediterranean-style diet", containing plenty of fresh produce, "whether you have asthma or not."
Tadas Zaleskas, 26, and Nonita Karajevaite, 24, were both killed on the A47 near Terrington St John, Norfolk, on Sunday.
Ms Karajevaite's death is being treated as suspicious following allegations she was forcibly pushed into the traffic.
Norfolk Police said the footage, taken at Worzals Farm Shop in Walpole Highway, may jog people's memories.
Det Ch Insp Paul Durham said: "We now believe that prior to her arriving at Worzals, Nonita was wearing black trousers with a black and white patterned round-neck cardigan. She was also wearing yellow-framed designer sunglasses and was barefoot.
"It is thought that when she got to the lay-by on the A47, probably due to the weather, she has taken off her cardigan and rolled up her trousers, which gave them the appearance of leggings.
"A key focus on this inquiry is anyone who may have seen the couple as they made their way along the A47 so, with this new information in mind, I'd be keen to hear from anyone who may have seen Nonita to come forward."
The couple, originally from Lithuania, were engaged and lived in nearby Emneth.
Both died when they were hit by a silver Kia car as they walked along the eastbound carriageway near Terrington St John at 14:15 BST.
At 13:20 they had both separately spoken to an assistant at Worzals Farm Shop and asked them to call the police, but they left soon afterwards with no explanation. Police were not called.
On Wednesday one lane of the eastbound carriageway was closed while officers carried out a detailed search of the grass verge.
They recovered clothing, documents and a pair of sunglasses, believed to belong to the couple.
City council leader John Clancy said Birmingham was a "fantastic sporting city", hosting major events including The Ashes and the Rugby World Cup.
The council has launched a feasibility study and claimed the event could generate more than £390m for the region.
The mayor of Liverpool revealed in August that they are also planning a bid.
Other places expected to be in the running include Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea and Edmonton in Canada.
It is 31 years since the city's memorably unpersuasive attempt to host the Summer Olympics of 1992 failed to have the desired effect, but those behind the Commonwealth bid say the city is ready to play host this time.
Mr Clancy said: "We have proven ourselves to be warm, welcoming and friendly hosts to a number of international events in recent years.
"In addition to the huge economic impact, these events showcase the very best of our city and wider region to the world."
Venues that could be used to host events include Villa Park, the Alexander Stadium, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the NEC and the Genting Arena.
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Karen Bradley, said: "Birmingham is a city with a fantastic sporting pedigree.
"The Commonwealth Games transformed Manchester in 2002 and did the same for Glasgow in 2014, so it's no surprise that Birmingham is interested in hosting the Games in 2026."
She added that the government looked forward to sharing its "knowledge and expertise" with Birmingham and any other interested cities to help them develop "credible and realistic" bids.
Bob Sleigh, chairman of the West Midlands Combined Authority, which is backing Birmingham's bid, said other "incredible" facilities in the region could also be used, such as West Bromwich Albion's Hawthorns stadium and Coventry City's Ricoh Arena.
Candidates have to notify their intention to bid by March 2018, and the winner will be announced in November 2019.

The Glasgow Cycling app allows cyclists to submit routes, distances travelled, times taken and average speeds.
The anonymous information will be available for free on Future City Glasgow's open data website.
It is hoped the data will inform future investment decisions and improvements to the city's cycling network.
Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "Cycling has huge mental and physical health benefits for individuals as well as environmental advantages for the city.
"The number of cyclists coming into the city has increased drastically but Glasgow City Council is keen to encourage even more people to cycle both for leisure and commuting.
"This new app will provide accurate information which will be extremely helpful when decisions are being made on where and how to upgrade or extend cycling facilities. I hope bikers will seize this chance to contribute directly to work to make Glasgow more bike friendly."
The free app is currently available from the Apple store. An android version will be available soon on Google Play.
Current information about how cyclists travel around Glasgow is limited.
There is an electronic counter on the Anderston footbridge and a manual cordon count takes place every year.
Victoria Leiper of the Glasgow Bike Station urged cyclists to try the app.
She said: "This is our opportunity, as cycle commuters to shape decision-making.
"It is perhaps the most pro-active thing we can do and I certainly plan to use the app every day to submit my own journeys and to encourage our customers at the Glasgow Bike Station to use it as well."
Keith Irving, Chief Executive Cycling Scotland, urged other cities to follow Glasgow's example.
"All councils should be increasing monitoring of cycling levels," he said.
"This initiative by Future City Glasgow combines technology with data to develop information about cycling conditions in Glasgow.
"We hope it will be successful and could feature in a future Cycling Scotland conference as best practice to be copied across the country."
The show at Chatsworth, a Derbyshire stately home, features eight display gardens.
Organisers are expecting almost 90,000 people to visit the event, officially opened by Alan Titchmarsh and Mary Berry, over five days.
Anna Skibniewski-Ball, assistant manager, said she hoped it would be "truly wonderful and inspiring".
The show, which opens to the public on Wednesday, runs until Sunday at the Duke of Devonshire's Chatsworth estate.
Visitors are being warned to expect mixed weather conditions.
Some of the judging has been postponed until later in the week because of rain and high winds.
Alan Titchmarsh, a vice president of the RHS, said he was pleased Chatsworth had got its own show.
He said: "It's immensely exciting, we come to the county fair every year and love the Derbyshire Dales, the folk of Derbyshire are friendly, it's great for it to get its own RHS show."
The RHS, which famously runs the Chelsea Flower Show, said the theme for Chatsworth was "design revolutionaries."
The showground at Chatsworth, which covers 43 acres, will feature more than 350 exhibitors from across the UK.
Three temporary bridges, the longest of which is over 40m in length, have been installed to allow people to explore gardens on both sides of the River Derwent.
The show's largest garden, a modernist quarry plot, features more than 7,000 bedding plants, a 10-metre tall oak tree and more than 20 slate monoliths.

Nottingham City Council had threatened to get an injunction against Mickey Summers after he staged a series of disruptive protests.
Mr Summers had staged loud protests at council meetings and outside an official's house.
The Saudis see growing Iranian influence everywhere - to the north in Iraq and Syria, to the east in its own country and in Bahrain, and now pointedly to the south in Yemen.
But this view belies the complexities of Yemeni domestic politics, overemphasises the role of Iran, and is unlikely to lead to anything approaching a successful conclusion, as is being seen with the Saudi-led bombing campaign, which is yet to achieve its stated aims.
The Houthi moniker, originally but a clan name, has been associated with the Zaidi branch of Shia Islam and, thus, by overly simplified if not erroneous extension, the "Twelver" Shiism predominant in Iran and Shiism in general.
Firstly, Houthis are not all Zaidis, and neither are all Zaidis Houthis. And secondly, Zaidism is considered to be the branch of Shiism least in dispute with Sunni doctrine.
Whatever the religious similarities between the Houthis and Iran, there is an implicit notion that any commonality matters. Whether nominally united or separated by faith, it is seldom as determining a factor in action as it is fatuously perceived.
None of this is to ignore commonalities between Iran and the Houthis.
Both display a vociferous anti-American and anti-Israeli streak, and there are obvious instances of the Houthis co-operating in some way with Iran in recent years.
A day after the Houthis took over the Yemeni capital Sanaa in February, an aviation agreement with Iran was signed and an Iranian Mahan Airlines plane landed in the city.
But simplistically labelling the Houthis as "Iranian-backed" obscures the domestic nature of the conflict which predates the Arab Spring.
Zaidis ruled parts of Yemen for almost 1,000 years until 1962 and were even supported by Saudi Arabia in the 1970s.
But then the Houthis, who emerged as a Zaidi revivalist movement in the 1990s, fought a series of wars between 2004 and 2010 against the Saudi-supported central Yemeni state led by then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who also happens to be a Zaidi.
Religious divisions have, therefore, played a surprisingly minor role in the past until they were deepened not least by Saudi Arabia's attempts in the 1990s in particular to spread its own austere version of Sunni Islam in Yemen.
The Houthis believed that such policies were designed to further marginalise their position, given their historic powerbase of Saada province being right on the Saudi border.
The numerous wars fought against government forces gave the Houthis all the training and combat experience that they needed to humiliate Saudi forces when they intervened in Yemen in 2009 and to apparently fare so well against the recent air campaign launched by Saudi Arabia and its allies.
More importantly perhaps, many years of war have festooned Yemen with weapons.
There are plenty of accusations that Iran supplies the Houthis with weapons. Some reports lack credibility, like Saudi-owned al-Arabiya TV's insistence that 185 tons of Iranian weapons miraculously made it through the international naval taskforce currently blockading Yemen.
Other stories, like the Iranian dhow that was stopped on route to Yemen in 2013 with a range of advanced equipment, are far more plausibly an example of Iranian weapons shipping.
While one UN Security Council report noted independent verification was unable to confirm the allegations, a more recent, as yet unreleased one, concluded that a pattern of Iranian support had emerged.
Nevertheless, a perennial problem with such instances is that the evidence of Iranian involvement often comes from sources that have a vested interest in plugging such a line: whether from the Saudi, Yemeni or American side.
External supplies notwithstanding, an obvious source of weaponry for the Houthis came thanks to a new-found agreement with their erstwhile adversary, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who seemed to support the Houthis in their takeover of Sanaa in autumn 2014.
This gave the Houthis the opportunity to help themselves to an unknown quantity of US weaponry from army bases captured curiously easily.
Overall, the perennial resort to the "Iranian-backed Houthi fighters" logic is problematic as it simplifies the conflict too much and mandates too much of an external focus.
If Iran is the major source of supplies, then an air campaign to destroy stores and interdict resupply might make sense. But this logic is being sorely tested by the complete lack of a collapse of the Houthis (quite the opposite, so far) in the face of the bombing onslaught.
Similarly, the urgency to combat the Houthis lest some hypothetical Iranian proxy force develops on the Arabian Peninsula means that, as a direct corollary, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has received a free pass to expand its orbit of power.
Recently, the group reinforced its hold on Mukalla in the southern province of Hadramawt taking over an airport, a military base, and a prison, freeing dozens of prisoners including AQAP leaders.
Given that AQAP remains the core US interest in Yemen, such a turn of events will surely have given its leadership pause to reconsider its open support of the Saudi campaign.
It would not be surprising if US cautions about the knock-on effects of the campaign enabling AQAP played a role in Saudi's announcement on 21 April 2015 that it was ending the air campaign.
But the sense that the Gulf Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia, are simply winging their policy in Yemen is inescapable.
In lieu of anything approaching a cogent, strategic plan, the short-termist resort of bombing to win does not inspire hope for the near future.

The heavy fall was due to restructuring costs and a write-down of some assets.
Without one-off costs, the Canadian mobile phone company posted a $14m profit.
Despite the hit, Blackberry shares gained in early trading as it said losses for the whole year would be lower than expected.
Chief executive John Chen said greater efficiencies and strong growth in software and services would trim its losses.
He said losses would be around 15 cents per share, compared with analysts' forecasts of 33 cents per share.
"They have not put figures behind some of their forecasts in quite some time, and hopefully that speaks to improved visibility into the business," said Morningstar analyst Brian Colello.
Blackberry is moving away from smartphone sales - in which it has less than 1% of the global market - and towards the device software used by companies and governments.
The company said sales of its handsets, which had an average selling price of $290, were below projections in the quarter.

The unexpected setback for Hinkley Point came because the UK government said it wanted to delay its final decision on the project.
It would be the UK's first new nuclear plant in decades.
But Wales' Economy Secretary Ken Skates is concerned about the impact on Wylfa.
He said the UK government has a "responsibility not to damage confidence levels of key developers".
"Any review must not derail the important Wylfa development," he added.
Business Secretary Greg Clark has said the UK government will "consider carefully" the Hinkley Point plans before backing them.
There have been concerns that difficulties with Hinkley Point C's project would affect Wylfa Newydd's ability to attract investors.
Mr Skates said: "Following the UK government's decision to undertake a further review of the Hinkley project I have written to the Secretary of State Greg Clark seeking urgent clarification that this will not impact on the Wylfa Newydd development in North Wales.
"Wylfa Newydd is an important strategic infrastructure project for Wales which will help to create high quality jobs as well as be important to the future of steel in Wales.
"The UK government have an important responsibility not to damage confidence levels of key developers such as Horizon Nuclear Power and their Tier one supply chain to invest in Wales."
The UK government has been asked to comment.
The markets shook off comments from Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen that interest rates should rise in the coming months.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 44.9 points to 17873.2.
The S&P 500 index gained 8.96 points to 2099.06, while the tech-focused Nasdaq index rose 31.74 points to 4933.5.
Speaking at Harvard University, Ms Yellen said if the economy continued to improve as she expected, the central bank would raise rates in the coming months. The Fed's next meeting is in June.
"The market is giving permission to the Fed to raise rates," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. "We'll see what actually happens when they do."

PC Dave Phillips died in October when the vehicle mounted a central reservation in Wallasey, Merseyside.
Clayton Williams, 19, gave PC Phillips "no chance", hitting the officer as he tried to stop the truck with a tyre-puncturing device, the court was told.
Mr Williams claims he did not intend to injure the officer and denies murder.
Read live updates on this story and more from across Merseyside.
The 34-year-old officer, a father of two, was deploying a stinger device to end a high-speed police pursuit.
He was responding with a colleague to reports of a burglary in Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead, in the early hours of 5 October.
Fellow officers tried to save PC Phillips' life but he died shortly after arriving at hospital.
Ian Unsworth QC, for the prosecution, said Mr Williams, then 18, of Wallasey, and another man, 30-year-old Philip Stuart, of Prenton, Wirral, had burgled a shop in Birkenhead, stealing the keys to the Mitsubishi.
The truck was spotted by an unmarked police vehicle and the officers gave chase, joined shortly afterwards by another patrol car which recorded the pursuit.
Mr Williams drove at "vastly excessive speeds", Mr Unsworth said, along narrow residential roads, through red lights and on the wrong side of the road.
He struck a parked car during the chase in a "determined and ruthless attempt to avoid being apprehended".
Mr Unsworth said PC Phillips was "simply trying to bring the stolen vehicle to a controlled stop".
He said the officer ought not to have positioned himself on the central reservation, and should have been wearing high visibility clothing, but "whatever the rights and wrongs" of that, he was "clearly visible".
Instead of driving over the device, Mr Williams drove off the road at his victim, the jury heard.
The prosecution claimed Mr Williams "used the truck as a weapon to murder PC Phillips".
He could have stopped, driven over the stinger, he could have done a U-turn, but chose not to, Mr Unsworth said.
The jury was shown a series of CCTV images and video taken from the dashboard camera of the police Volvo recording the chase and police radio commentary as Mr Williams reached speeds of up to 80mph.
Mr Unsworth said: "[Clayton Williams] chose to drive towards PC Phillips, a person he could clearly see. He chose to turn sharply to the left. He chose to drive directly at PC Birkett. He chose to flee the scene and he chose to evade arrest."
In contrast the barrister said PC Phillips had "little choice".
He could have leapt into the carriageway and risked being struck by two police vehicles or remained where he was or moved backwards and risked being killed, he said.
"It wasn't much of a choice and he stood not much of a chance.
"It was, you may think, a cowardly and merciless act."
After hitting PC Phillips, Mr Williams drove back on to the road in the direction of a second officer, PC Thomas Birkett, who had to leap out of the way, the court heard.
The prosecution said to drive a large truck at speed towards any human being and then turn into them was "powerful evidence" of someone acting with intention to "at very least cause really serious injury, if not to kill".
Mr Williams denies murder.
He also denies a second count of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to PC Birkett.
He has admitted the burglary in which the car was stolen and aggravated vehicle taking.

While Hong Kong's students continue their protests and stumbling negotiations with the territory's authorities, democracy activists from around the world, some of whom have helped their struggle, gather together.
The Oslo Freedom Forum is one of the biggest meetings of human rights activists in the world, and this year its rather surreal proceedings have a different tension, as activists trying to take on Beijing's actions in Hong Kong seek to hold their ground.
Activists are furious at what they see as Beijing's proposals to fix the election of Hong Kong's next chief executive.
However, far from being impromptu demonstrations, it is an open secret at this meeting in Norway that plans were hatched in Hong Kong for the demonstrations nearly two years ago.
The ideas was to use non-violent action as a "weapon of mass destruction" to challenge the Chinese government.
Organisers prepared a plan to persuade 10,000 people on to the streets, to occupy roads in central Hong Kong, back in January 2013.
They believed that China's moves to control the Hong Kong election would provide a flashpoint where civil disobedience could be effective, and planned accordingly.
Their strategies were not just to plan the timing and nature of the demonstrations, but also how they would be run.
BBC Newsnight has been told that some leading protestors received advice and materials from Western activists to help them train as many as 1,000 of those who would later be involved in the demonstrations
Yang Jianli, a Chinese academic, was part of the protests in Tiananmen Square 25 years ago.
He has been talking to the Hong Kong students on a daily basis.
He says that the students are better organised than the Tiananmen protesters ever were, with clearer, more effective structures for their action and clearer goals about what they are trying to achieve.
But he adds that responsibility for what happens next is not just down to the protesters themselves, not just down to other democracy activists like those gathered here in Oslo, but to the rest of the world.
Jamila Raqib, the executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution based near Boston, which analyses and distributes studies on non-violent struggle, says it is clear that protesters have been trained how to behave during a protest.
"How to keep ranks, how to speak to police, how to manage their own movement, how to use marshals in their movement, people who are specially trained.
"It was also how to behave when arrested - practical things like the need for food and water, movement can last longer when people are taken care of, and also how to manage a water cannon being used against you, and other types of police violence."
In a statement Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP) said none of its members had attended the Oslo Freedom Forum or received "any specific training" from the organisations mentioned in this report.
OCLP said it had openly held "non-violent protest" workshops in Hong Kong but these were "wholly organized by OCLP, without any support or intervention from foreign organisations."
It also said the "inititiators" of OCLP had never been in contact with Yang Jianli, nor had OCLP been in contact with Jamila Raqib.
Protests don't always work.
Srdja Popovic, one of the student leaders involved in overthrowing Slobodan Milosevic, was another of the protest veterans in Oslo.
He has since trained activists in 40 countries, but he says the techniques of non-violent action that he advocates have led to successful and lasting change in only six or seven countries.
He argues that there is more need than ever for the methods of organisation and leadership to be shared.
He says that after the 20th Century military race, "what we are seeing now is a new world race - now it is 'can the good guys learn as well as the bad guys?'."
Mr Popovic has not had any involvement with the Hong Kong protests, but says whether in Georgia, Ukraine, Egypt or Hong Kong "you can look at these movements - and see the set of rules".
"You have to understand the rules of the non-military battlefield."
His work in Oslo, along with the writings of the American human rights activist, Gene Sharp, is in high demand.
There is something incongruous about the Oslo meeting - seeing Chinese dissidents, American computer hackers, activists from Africa, the Middle East and Russia trade information over champagne and canapés.
Like any conference, a good deal of the work is done after hours, even if it is schmoozing for democracy.
Two members of Russian opposition female punk group Pussy Riot, members of which were put in jail by President Putin, are here too.
They say they want to "make personal contacts" and meet others doing similar human rights work.
What this event shows is that struggles for democracy or human rights in the 21st Century rarely happen in isolation.
Activists, whether those on the streets of Hong Kong right now, or from other parts of the world, are sharing information and insights faster than ever before.

Most recently Burnley's sporting director, McParland, 56, was previously chief scout at Liverpool and worked with Raheem Sterling and Jordan Ibe.
He also had a spell as Brentford director of football when Rangers boss Mark Warburton was at Griffin Park.
The Ibrox side are currently top of the Scottish Championship, with nine wins out of nine and host Queen of the South on Saturday.
"New benchmarks and standards must be set both on and off the field of play, and everyone at Rangers wishes Frank the very best in his new role," Rangers said on their website.
"McParland is the latest appointment to be made at Rangers as the club strives to modernise, move forward and return to the highest echelons of the game."
The actor was due to appear opposite Alec Baldwin and Tom Sturridge when previews begin on 19 March.
Producers have cited "creative differences" as the reason and LaBeouf has since posted emails suggesting he and 30 Rock's Baldwin did not get on.
Set in Philadelphia, the story depicts two orphaned brothers who kidnap a wealthy man, played by Baldwin.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, director Daniel Sullivan "became worried" about the actor's "performance choices".
On Wednesday 21 February, LaBeouf tweeted an audition video for Orphans and screenshots of email exchanges between Sullivan, Baldwin and himself.
LaBeouf made an apology to Baldwin for his part of what he described as a "dis-agreeable situation."
Sullivan's response read: "I'm too old for disagreeable situations. You're one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it. This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn't get it."
Another screenshot shows an email from Baldwin to LaBeouf.
The 30 Rock star said: "I've been through this before. It's been a while. And perhaps some of the particulars are different. But it comes down to the fact that what we all do now is critical.
"Perhaps especially for you. When the change comes, how do we handle it, whether it be good or bad? What do we learn? I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word."
LaBeouf later posted via Twitter an email from a bemused Tom Sturridge who said he didn't understand what happened.
British actor Sturridge said of LaBeouf's role: "I was stunned by the work you were doing, the performance you were giving. I think you lifted the play to a place higher than maybe it deserved to be."

Without more staff to meet the demand, long waits for test results could become the norm, says Cancer Research UK.
One in two of us will have cancer at some point, and getting it diagnosed early is vital.
The government says it is investing in cancer services, which includes having the right number and mix of staff.
According to the report:
Cancer Research UK says that in the next five to 10 years there will be a shortage of consultants across all areas of pathology.
It says the same problem applies to other cancer diagnosis services such as scans and endoscopies.
Prof Manuel Salto-Tellez, a Cancer Research UK pathology expert, said: "We need to act now before this situation gets worse. It's vital that patients are diagnosed at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful and pathology plays a crucial role in this.
"The number of cancer cases diagnosed each year is set to rise and the already stretched pathology services won't cope unless we ensure more people are trained and employed in pathology. We must also make sure that existing staff have the support they need to do their job."
Dr Suzy Lishman, president of the Royal College of Pathologists, said: "Having the right staff with the right skills will make sure people referred for cancer tests are diagnosed as quickly and accurately as possible."
There were around 352,000 new cancer diagnoses in the UK in 2013. Cancer Research UK estimates this will rise to 500,000 a year by 2035.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "Early and fast diagnosis is crucial in improving patient outcomes and experience. Getting pathology test results to patients quickly is a key part of this. That's why we have invested over £2.5bn on efficient and robust pathology services across the NHS."
In those days, America seemed infinitely far ahead of the rest of the world. Russia was entering its long, sclerotic phase when no change, political or economic, was allowed. Mao Zedong was just about to impose the horrors of the Cultural Revolution on China. Europe was still getting over the ravages of World War Two.
As for Britain, it was a stodgy place, stuck in its old class system. It scarcely had a tourism industry: the idea that anyone might want to visit Britain for a holiday made people smile.
Within a couple of years or so, much of this had changed.
The United States was convulsed by the Vietnam War protests, and never quite got its old dominance back, the Soviet grip on Eastern Europe was challenged, Europe began its long rise to wealth and influence... and Swinging London became the capital of the world.
As a BBC correspondent, I've been lucky enough to be an eyewitness to many of the great events which have changed our lives.
I saw the challenge to apartheid during the Soweto Uprising in the mid-1970s. I watched the revolution in Iran unfold, and give Muslims everywhere a new pride in themselves.
I reported on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of Marxism-Leninism in Europe, the end of apartheid in South Africa, the savagery of the Bosnian war.
I watched the rise and fall and rise of the Taliban and other extremist Islamic groups, the destruction of Saddam Hussein and the civil war in Iraq which followed, the revolutions against dictators like Colonel Gaddafi, the opening up of China and the ascent of Vladimir Putin and his annexation of Crimea two years ago.
It just shows that if you can hang on to the tail of human history tightly enough, it will take you just about everywhere.
In my professional lifetime, we've seen the world go through two distinct phases. The first was the bipolar world in which Washington and Moscow ordered everything to suit themselves.
That ended on 9 November 1989, when the East German leadership, without realising the consequences, opened up the Berlin Wall to anyone who wanted to cross into the West. Over the next six weeks the entire Soviet empire in Eastern Europe collapsed, and the Soviet Union itself followed in August 1991.
The second phase has been with us ever since: a weakening US, a damaged Russia, and a rising China. Maybe, after Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, this phase too has now come to an end, and Anglo/Euro/American power is on the way down.
If so, the third phase will bring more of the kind of brutality that is currently being inflicted on Aleppo by the Syrian government and its Russian backers: no-holds-barred violence, no one exempt from the barrel-bombs and the missiles.
Yet much of the world has been a lot better off during the post-1989 phase than when it started.
There's been a dramatic decline in wars fought between states. Civil wars increased in number after 1989, but have declined ever since. In the 1950s, wars caused almost 250 deaths per million people; now the figure is fewer than 10 per million.
High-intensity conflicts have more than halved since the end of the Cold War. Freedom has greatly increased. There are nearly a hundred democracies today, compared with fewer than 40 in 1966.
Dictatorships, getting on for 90 in 1966, are now down to 20. Gross dictators like Saddam Hussein and Col Gaddafi, whom I once specialised in interviewing, have mostly vanished.
Terrorism has surged recently, but it is still below the heights it reached between 1970 and 1990. By a great many measurements, human beings run their affairs better now than they did 50 years ago.
Yet we still don't live happily ever after.
Take South Africa. It was the highest point of my career so far to witness the joyful arrival in power of Nelson Mandela in 1994. I was proud to call Mandela a friend.
Now, crime and the ANC's gross corruption have brought the dream down. When I was in South Africa recently, young black kids told me that Mandela was an Uncle Tom who just did white people's bidding.
In my 50 years I've reported on 48 wars, revolutions and insurrections: a terrible compilation of death and violence.
I've seen at first hand three of the modern world's most notorious massacres: Sabra and Chatila in 1982, the gassing of the Kurds by Saddam Hussein at Halabjeh in 1988, and the shooting down of hundreds of people in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
You don't simply shrug off experiences like these.
Yet in some ways it was the death of a single individual which has had the most serious impact on me.
In the run-up to the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, a young Iraqi Kurd, Kamaran Abdurrazak, asked if he could work with me as a translator.
He was standing beside me on the day when an American Navy pilot dropped a 1,000lb (454kg) bomb right into the middle of the group of US and Kurdish soldiers we were filming. Seventeen people died, mostly burned to death; Kamaran was hit in the legs by a large chunk of shrapnel. He died soon afterwards of shock and blood loss.
I've never got over the guilt at having inadvertently led him to his death.
As a way of marking my 50th anniversary with the BBC, I have made a film for BBC One's Panorama programme. This gave me the chance to go back to see Kamaran's mother in Erbil, in northern Iraq.
I was deeply nervous, but she greeted me with grace and gentleness. "Of course I forgive you," she said, and I wept.
Half a century ago the BBC would have cut out the bit where the tears ran down my face: in 1966, BBC correspondents didn't show emotion on camera. Now it's no longer unacceptable.
In my 50-year career I've looked on while entire nations have escaped from oppression, and great historical wrongs have been righted.
But maybe, as a result of those 50 years, I've been liberated as a person, too.

The curious cow became wedged in the garden furniture at about 07:50 BST near Boughton, Northamptonshire.
Officers from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service attended but said the cow managed to get out of its predicament without their help.
It is not known how the garden chair came to be in the field or why the cow put its head through it.
Tuilagi, who last played for England in 2014, has been out for 15 months with groin and hamstring problems.
Exeter flanker Dave Ewers is also included in the squad, after recovering from a knee injury.
England lead the Six Nations with three wins, while Wales are unbeaten going into the match on 12 March.
Tuilagi has scored 11 tries in 25 England appearances, but his career has been affected by off-field disciplinary problems, including jumping into Auckland harbour during the 2011 World Cup.
The Samoa-born 24-year-old was ruled out of the 2015 World Cup after he pleaded guilty to assaulting two female police officers, although he later said he had "owned up to what I've not done".
He returned to action for his club side Leicester in January but picked up a hamstring injury in his third game back, further delaying his international comeback.
Leicester team-mate Jean de Villiers says England are "better off" with the centre in the squad but believes Tuilagi should not be rushed back by head coach Eddie Jones.
"I can understand Eddie Jones would want to get him involved as soon as possible, but you have to make sure the short-term goals won't halt long-term progress," the former South Africa captain told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He needs to be playing international rugby for another 10 years, so you need to make the right decisions now."
De Villiers added: "Whether he starts or you bring him on for 20 minutes, he will make a big impact and England are better off.
"The balance of the side is so much better with someone like him there."

The players - S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila - are all from the Rajasthan Royals team.
The team said it had "a zero-tolerance approach to anything that is against the spirit of the game", and India's cricket board suspended the players.
There has been no word from the cricketers themselves, but Sreesanth's family said he was innocent.
Spot-fixing involves illegally rigging parts of a match, for example by timing the delivery of a deliberate wide or no-ball, to benefit bookmakers or those betting on matches.
Police said they had also arrested 11 bookmakers.
Rajasthan Royals are captained by legendary Indian batsman Rahul Dravid and owned by Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra.
Fast bowler Sreesanth has represented India in many international games. He has played 27 Tests and 53 one-day internationals.
"I have full faith in him, he would never do anything like this," his mother Savitri Devi told the BBC Hindi service.
The players were arrested in Mumbai late on Wednesday and they are expected to appear in court in Delhi later on Thursday.
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon, the city's police chief Neeraj Kumar gave out the details of what he called the "spot-fixing scam".
He said: "There was an agreement between bookies [bookmakers] and players that in a certain over they would give away minimum amount of runs. The bookies also gave them directions that they have to indicate that they are ready to give away those many runs.
"The indications that players had to give bookies included rotating their watches, putting towels in their pants, taking out locket from shirt, taking out shirt and vest that you're wearing, make signs with jersey."
Mr Kumar said the team matches on 5 May with Pune, 9 May with Punjab and 15 May with Mumbai were fixed.
Earlier in the day, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended the three players.
"The IPL governing council has met and decided that the cricketers found involved will be dealt with severely," the board said in a statement.
"As of now, the three players - Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and S Sreesanth - stand suspended pending enquiry. All information required to bring the persons involved to book will be collected and strictest action will be taken, if found guilty," it added.
BCCI president N Srinivasan told reporters that he was "shocked" by the developments.
"I don't know about others but I am shocked, the BCCI never expected it. It was a bolt from the blue. We will see whatever is there to be done is done," he said.
The team owners Rajasthan Royals also issued a statement saying they had "been informed that three of our players have been called in for investigation on spot-fixing in matches. We are completely taken by surprise.
"We do not have the full facts at this point and are unable to confirm anything. We are in touch with the BCCI on this matter. We will fully co-operate with the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation."
The sixth season of the IPL, which is considered to be the world's showcase for Twenty20 cricket, is currently under way in India.
Top Indian and international players take part, contributing to what is the world's richest cricket tournament.
The scandal is the latest to affect cricket.
Last year, Indian cricket officials suspended five players after a sting by undercover TV reporters purported to show cricketers agreeing to bowl no-balls and spot-fix matches.
And in 2011, three top Pakistani players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - were banned after they were found guilty of involvement in a betting scam.
If your answer to that question is a resounding "no way", and the very thought conjures up terrifying images of unwitting drug mules and long prison sentences, you might need to think again.
"I always take things back from my travels for family and friends," says 45-year-old French airline worker Olivier Kaba. "Now not only am I able to bring things for others, but I get rewarded financially for doing it.
"In the past two years I have made about 1,000 euros ($1,100; £860)."
Olivier is a regular user of Worldcraze, one of three similar firms that have launched in recent years to help connect people who would like to buy something from a different country, with travellers who have spare space in their suitcase and want to make a bit of money by being informal couriers.
The idea is that the buyer can quickly get his or her hands on a product that may not be available to buy or import where he or she lives (country A), or that the item may simply be a lot cheaper abroad (country B).
So with transactions made via the three companies' websites and apps, travellers who are due to fly from country B to country A can purchase and transport the products for the buyers. They can then arrange to meet to hand them over.
Over the past 24 months Olivier says he has transported everything from three months' supply of French salami to the US, bags of Japanese sweets called "Tokyo banana", and 20kg of fabric samples for a woman starting her own business.
"I discover new products I have never heard of," he says.
Worldcraze was launched in 2012 by French entrepreneurs Frederic Simons and Guillaume Cayard.
On a trip to New York Frederic noticed a large price difference between Levi's jeans in France and the US, and the idea was born.
Today Worldcraze says it has 10,000 users, with Apple products being the most frequently delivered items.
From each transaction Worldcraze takes €2.50 from the buyer, and 10% of the traveller's payment, which is up to 10% of the cost of the product being transported.
Singapore-based Ouibring has a similar business model.
Founded in 2016 by developers Joel Gordon and Andrew Crosio, they say that one Ouibring delivery is now made every day on average.
Goods delivered so far include artisan coffee from Japan to Hungary, a baby carrier from Thailand to the US, a candle carried from India, and a room spray from Singapore to the Czech Republic.
"For shoppers this is a way of getting previously unavailable products, full stop," says Joel.
"For bringers [the travellers who deliver the items] it's about making some money, and meeting interesting people who appreciate the effort, and can share tips for exploring the place you're visiting, or the next step on your journey."
To remove the risk of illegal or counterfeit products being transported both Ouibring and Worldcraze only allow users to buy and collect new products from legitimate shops.
Worldcraze's chief marketing officer Constance Claviez Homberg says: "Our users can't buy illegal products because they are buying products directly in shops.
"That way it is just impossible to carry illegal stuff, or counterfeit products. [And] travellers have to upload the product's bill on our platform to prove that the product is congruent."
The company also advises users to check on whether the item in question is legal in the destination country, and has staff that check out requests made on its website and app every day.
Ouibring's Joel Gordon says that it also has a "moderation system" which "flags requests that may be inappropriate, and we remove requests if required".
He says that the company also advises users that if they are unsure about anything they should get in touch via its secure contact form "and we'll get back to you asap".
"We are happy to provide advice for travellers for specific questions," says Joel. "At the end of the day, it is the individual traveller's responsibility to ensure they comply with the relevant laws of the country they are travelling to."
Mumbai-based Beck Friends, another firm that enables travellers to transport goods for other people, doesn't limit people to purchasing new items.
Instead a traveller recently transported a much-loved teddy bear from Chicago to Mumbai after its owner, a four-year-old girl called Heer, left it behind.
To remove any security concerns, the buyer and carrier have to be first connected on social media, such as on Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+. Users must also upload two valid forms of identification, such as a passport and driving licence.
Beck co-founder Deep Malhotra says: "Security is the prime concern, and we are building a robust platform to address this."
Where things get more complicated is the issue of export and import tariffs, which vary greatly from country to country. All three companies say they advise users on this, and it is the buyer who ultimately has to pay any charges.
If any traveller is unsure of something, or gets into any difficulties, all three companies say they have support staff available around the clock to help, be it via telephone, live web chat or email.
Ouibring's Joel Gordon says that he doesn't think security or customs worries will hold back the growth of his company.
"Our vision is to become another part of daily international life, like Airbnb, with people all around the world helping to make transport, logistics and travel work together better."
Children who have been on abuse prevention programmes are more likely to tell an adult if they have been abused, suggests a global study.
The researchers looked at data on some 6,000 children in seven countries.
The data "supports the need to inform and protect children", said lead author Dr Kerryann Walsh, of Queensland University of Technology.
Dr Walsh was speaking ahead of publication of the review by the global independent research network Cochrane.
It focused on data from 24 trials where a total of 5,802 largely primary school-aged children took part in school-based prevention programmes.
These trials took place in the United States, Canada, China, Germany, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey and were judged to be the most scientifically robust ever conducted in the field.
Some took place recently, though others dated from the 1980s.
The review says that worldwide an estimated one in 10 girls and one in 20 boys experienced some form of sexual abuse in childhood.
The schools focused on consent with education on body ownership and "private parts", when it is acceptable to touch, what "secrets" are acceptable, as well as how to avoid dangerous situations and who children should tell if they have been abused or are afraid.
They used a variety of methods including films, plays, songs, puppets, books and games.
The data suggests the programmes successfully boosted children's awareness and knowledge of sexual abuse and they were likely to remember what they were taught six months later.
Children who had taken part were more than three times more likely to disclose sexual abuse than those who had not.
The researchers warn the figures are imprecise, but they suggest some four in 1,000 children who had not taken part were likely to report abuse, rising to some 14 in 1,000 among children who had taken part.
In some of the trials researchers cross-referenced the disclosure figures with police and social service records.
A few trials included "simulated abuse scenarios" where children were asked to leave the school with someone they did not know.
These found children who had participated in anti-abuse programmes were less likely to agree.
The researchers warned this may not be replicated in real life.
"Tests cannot mimic real abuse situations very well," said Dr Walsh.
However, Cochrane's editor-in-chief, Dr David Tovey, said the data showed the programmes were effective overall.
"If we were talking about a drug and had odds ratios of this level it would be considered a very substantial effect."
No UK trials were included as none met the stringent criteria required in terms of methodology and data.
However, the researchers said there was no reason to believe UK children would be "terribly different from those in the studies".
Dr Walsh said similar programmes already exist "in patches in the UK", but the lack of an audit meant they did not know "what is being offered out there".
She said any new programmes should be robustly evaluated and focused on seven to 12-year-olds, the age group most vulnerable to abuse.
"If you are going to do it - you should begin in these risk years."
Last month England's education secretary, Nicky Morgan, announced that all children from the age of 11 would be taught about sexual consent.
The NSPCC has called for the next government to make sex and relationship education a statutory right for every child and young person.
More than 5,000 coins were found buried in Lenborough, near Padbury last year.
The find is still being catalogued by the British Museum but the coroner has given permission for "about 20 coins" to be displayed at Bucks County Museum.
A spokesman said: "It's another milestone on the path to getting them into the museum."
It is the largest Anglo Saxon coin hoard discovered since the Treasure Act was introduced in 1996 and is thought to be worth up to £1.3m.
Brett Thorn, from the museum, said because there were so many coins, the cataloguing process was taking a long time and it wanted to "keep the public interested".
He approached the British Museum to ask if some could be displayed, but until the inquest they are still legally under the control of the Buckinghamshire coroner.
"I asked if he would be happy for us to display some of them and he was very supportive," said Mr Thorn.
The 5,251 coins were found wrapped in a lead sheet by Weekend Wanderers Detecting Club member Paul Coleman, from Southampton, on 21 December.
They depict the heads of kings Ethelred the Unready and Canute and come from 40 different mints around England.
Depending on the final valuation, the museum hopes to acquire them and will use the display to launch an appeal for pledges to assess the amount of local support there is.
"If we get the chance to buy them, it looks good to funding bodies if they can see significant local support," said Mr Thorn.
"We've already had £3,000 of pledges from events held."
The museum said it is due to display the coins until the inquest, the date of which is still to be decided.
The body of the 41-year-old was found floating in a river on Friday.
His family raised concerns on Wednesday after he spoke to Burmese journalists about attacks on security forces.
Police said they were still investigating. The area has been under lockdown for more than two months since militants attacked border posts.
During a rare media tour of the area, the man spoke to reporters about army repression and said local villagers had been involved in attacks, the BBC has learned.
Rakhine state is home to Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya minority, one of the world's most persecuted minority groups.
Amnesty International has accused Burmese security forces of rape, murder, and torture.
Myanmar's military has denied accounts of atrocities and says it is conducting anti-terrorist raids in Rakhine.
Troops took control of the dangerous and remote region bordering Bangladesh after armed men raided police posts, killing nine officers, in October.
The government of Myanmar, also known as Burma, says it is conducting counter-terrorism operations in the region but has denied reports of atrocities.
Most of the displaced Rohingya have fled across the border into Bangladesh.
The estimated one million Muslim Rohingya are seen by many in mainly Buddhist Myanmar as illegal migrants from Bangladesh. They are denied citizenship by the government despite many having lived there for generations.
Communal violence in Rakhine state in 2012 left scores dead and displaced more than 100,000 people, with many Rohingya still remaining in decrepit camps.
They face widespread discrimination and mistreatment.
Hundreds of thousands of undocumented Rohingya are estimated to live in Bangladesh, having left Myanmar over decades.
The Dow Jones was little changed, falling 0.01% to 21,394.76 while the wider S&P 500 index rose 0.2% to 2,438.3.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq index rose 0.5% to 6,265.25.
Bed Bath & Beyond was among the biggest losers, falling more than 12% after reporting weak quarterly sales.
The home goods chain said on Thursday that quarterly sales increased 0.1% from the same period in 2016, and sales through comparable channels fell 2%.
Home Depot also slid 2.7%, despite a government report showing an increase in sales of new homes.
The losses were offset by improvement in tech stocks, which had suffered declines in recent weeks.
Microsoft shares climbed 1.4%, while Apple gained 0.5%.
A minute's silence was observed before kick-off to remember the 130 victims of the attacks on 13 November 2015.
Emil Forsberg's free-kick put Sweden ahead in the second half but Manchester United's Pogba quickly equalised.
Payet's 65th-minute winner moved France three points clear in Group A.
The West Ham midfielder had earlier set up the equaliser for Pogba, the world's most expensive player nodding home his team-mate's precise free-kick.
Payet capped a bright performance with the decisive goal, turning the ball in from close range after Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen fumbled.
Security was predictably tight at the national stadium two days short of the poignant anniversary, with around 1,200 stewards and 400 police officers deployed in and around the ground.
The minute's silence was observed in the presence of French president Francois Hollande, who was also present a year ago when three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the ground during a friendly against Germany - killing one and forcing the stadium into lockdown.
"We have to remember," Hollande told French television. "One year ago, almost to the day, we were here for a friendly game and three bombs were detonated, with one man being killed.
"We have to remember there were 130 people who died and hundreds of others who were injured. For them and for those who survived we must remember."

The International Development Committee said it backed calls from charities for the UK to accept more unaccompanied minors as a matter of "utmost urgency".
Lone children risked being forced into prostitution or the drugs trade unless given sanctuary, the MPs said.
The UK has taken 1,000 refugees so far as part of a 20,000 five-year target.
But humanitarian campaigners say this is inadequate and that refugees already in Europe should qualify for resettlement under the UK's Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme, which is currently restricted to those in refugee camps in Syria and neighbouring countries.
Now, a campaign headed by Save The Children, urging the UK to give a safe haven to 3,000 unaccompanied children fleeing conflict in Syria, Iraq and other war zones has won the backing of MPs from all parties.
The cross-party committee commended the government's response so far to the refugee crisis, which it said was the worst since World War Two,
It praised the £1.1bn in humanitarian aid the UK had given to Syria and its neighbours to help the millions of people displaced by the civil war and challenged other wealthy countries to also meet their humanitarian pledges in full.
But it said more needed to be done, warning that 80% of children in Syria were in need of humanitarian assistance and the number of unaccompanied children ending up in Europe in search of safety was likely only to increase.
Analysis by Naomi Grimley, the BBC's global affairs correspondent
It was originally Save The Children which came up with the suggestion that Britain should take 3,000 Syrian children who had made it to Europe unaccompanied by adults. The charity pointed to statistics from the Italian authorities suggesting that up to 4,000 children had simply disappeared off the official radar in 2014. The fear is that these children may have been preyed upon by people-traffickers.
Previously, PM David Cameron has been set against resettling refugees from inside Europe, arguing that it is better to take people directly from the region around Syria. His logic is that if you take refugees from Europe, you might encourage more people to risk dangerous journeys in unseaworthy boats.
The UK has also given £1.1bn to the region to help improve conditions in camps near Syria's borders, in the hope that will help more refugees to stay nearer to home.
But it feels like political pressure is growing on the government to tweak its policy and to find more room for children who have already arrived on Europe's shores. Save The Children was heartened that the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, backed their proposal before Christmas.
The International Development Committee has now added its weight to the suggested plan. Officially, ministers say it is still "under discussion". They will be all too aware from an earlier episode in this crisis that photographs of vulnerable children can have a strong effect on public opinion.
Stephen Twigg, the Labour MP who chairs the committee, said it would welcome any commitment by ministers to meet the 3,000 figure.
"Children are clearly some of the most vulnerable refugees this crisis has created," he said. "The first refugee casualty of 2016 was a drowned two-year-old boy pulled from the sea off the Greek coast.
"Having survived the treacherous journey, there is a grave possibility that unaccompanied children become the victims of people traffickers who force them into prostitution, child labour and the drugs trade.
"This is an issue of utmost urgency."
The government has said Save the Children's proposal is "under discussion" as part of a wider review into the help given to orphans.
"What we are doing is looking at the issue of whether or not countries such as the United Kingdom should do more to help vulnerable children, particularly orphans, that arrive in Europe, as opposed to all the work we are doing to help vulnerable children in camps," a spokeswoman said.
Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted the UK's focus should continue to be on providing a "direct route" to safety for the most vulnerable Syrians and not to encourage them to make the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean by boat, which has seen hundreds perish.
As part of the UK's response, an additional 216 Syrian refugees were resettled under the VPR scheme between January 2014 and mid-2015, while the UK has also granted asylum or other forms of protection to 1,868 Syrians in the year ending September 2015.
The vehicles, which will be a mix of double deck and midi buses, will join National Express's fleets in the West Midlands and Dundee.
Under an exclusive arrangement, Falkirk-based ADL will also supply replacement parts for the buses.
The first 100-plus low-emission vehicles will be delivered during 2014.
A further 125 buses are expected to be delivered each year between 2015 and 2018.
Peter Coates, managing director of National Express UK Bus, said: "This multi-year contract represents a major step forward in terms of revitalising our bus fleets - and in the way we do business.
"By working exclusively with ADL we can harness the vast wealth of knowledge within our various engineering teams, improve vehicle reliability and performance, and give our customers better service.
"In parallel with this, we have clear visibility in terms of costs, planning and vehicle replacement programmes, as well as the opportunity to work with and to influence ADL in the way they design and engineer the vehicles of the future."
ADL chief executive Colin Robertson said his company was delighted to take its business relationship with National Express "to a new level".
He added: "Multi-year contracts make so much sense for everyone involved. They give both parties a clear profile of expectations, forward build programmes and financials.
"An added bonus is that they release our best and brightest people, on both sides, to pursue new business growth opportunities, rather than being locked into months of repetitive tender negotiations annually.
"My instinct is that in the years ahead we will see changes in the way we do business and more 'partnerships' of this nature developing in the bus industry."
ADL has been growing at a rapid pace over the past six years, having tripled turnover to more than £500m over that period.
It employs 2,300 people globally, 900 of which are based in Falkirk, and has a significant presence in Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, the USA and Canada.
Directed by Austria's Michael Haneke, the film tells of mysterious events that befall a rural German village in the years preceding World War I.
Jonathan Ross hosted the event, which saw veteran Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci receive a special award.
Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton was among the audience at the BFI Southbank in London at Thursday's ceremony.
Her film I Am Love was one of the five foreign language films shortlisted for this year's honour.
The others nominated were Swedish vampire thriller Let the Right One In, French crime drama A Prophet and Israeli animation Waltz with Bashir.
Haneke did not travel to London to receive his prize, which was accepted on his behalf by White Ribbon cast member Leonie Benesch.
This year's winner was decided by a panel comprising director Sophie Fiennes, screenwriter Christopher Hampton, Bollywood star Aamir Kahn and novelist Bidisha.
The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC Four on Saturday at 2100 BST.
Speaking after the event, Hampton said he had been impressed by The White Ribbon's "precision" and sense of mystery.
"The real sign for me was that the second time I saw it was more extraordinary than the first time," he told the BBC News website.
Attending the ceremony in a wheelchair, the 70-year-old Bertolucci received a rousing reception as he collected his accolade.
"I'm very grateful and honoured," said the director of Last Tango in Paris and The Last Emperor.
"It is very important for me to collect this quite heavy award," he added, going on to praise the "state of the art ramp" that had enabled him to ascend the podium.
The Nevin Economic Research Institute (Neri) said that the majority of Invest NI's grants should be refocused into an "innovation fund".
The fund would be used for research and development in areas like sustainable energy, agri-food and life sciences.
Neri said corporation tax would not address long-term economic challenges.
The think tank said current policy is too focused on what it calls "inefficient financial support for large foreign-owned companies".
Spending on research and development in Northern Ireland has increased sharply in recent years and reached a record £645m in 2013.
However Neri said those strong figures "hide the paucity of basic research generated by indigenous firms".
Neri economist Paul Mac Flynn warned that Northern Ireland faces significant long-term economic challenges and that a focus on corporation tax would not address that.
"The current debate surrounding corporation tax is distracting from the long-term investment and capacity building needed in key growth sectors of the economy," he said
"Northern Ireland has for many years struggled to close the gap in productivity with the rest of the United Kingdom.
"In order to meet this challenge the state must take an active role in boosting innovation in the economy and commit to it financially," he added.
This year's celebrations start on 30 January, but the main days will be on 5, 6 and 7 of February when thousands of people will congregate in Oruro.
The carnival dates back more than two centuries and is one of Latin America's most colourful.
Photojournalist Fellipe Abreu and reporter Luiz Felipe Silva recorded some of its highlights in 2015.
Bands have been part of the Oruro carnival since 1964, the year Banda Espectacular Pagador was founded.
They play marches, cuecas (a musical style popular in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina) and other typical rhythms while they parade along a 3km (1.9-mile) route on the first day of the Oruro carnival.
Key to the Oruro carnival are "fraternidades", fraternal orders or fellowships, which parade around town preceded by a richly decorated float carrying a religious statue.
The elaborate costumes, masks and decorations used in the Oruro carnival are largely made by hand in small workshops such as Berna Bordados y Artesanal.
Founded more than 50 years ago, Berna Bordados makes 325 masks each year.
It is run by brothers Jorge and Martin Cruz, who learned the trade from their father when they were only six years old.
They start making the masks as early as August.
It is hard work. A small mask takes about a day to make, while the larger masks can take up to four days.
The masks cost between $40 and $46 (£28-£32), and the costumes about $70.
Another key part of the carnival is the procession to the church of Virgen del Socavon (Our Lady of the Mineshaft).
The Virgen del Socavon is the patron saint of the miners and a highly venerated figure in this mineral-rich part of Bolivia.
The veneration of the Virgen del Socavon is believed to date back to local legends which pre-date colonial times.
According to indigenous legend, a demigod called Wari wanted to punish the Uru people, who inhabited the area, for adoring another deity.
He sent four plagues: a gigantic snake came from the west, a monstrous lizard from the east, a huge toad from the north and millions of large ants from the south.
The Uru people were haunted by these plagues until the arrival of Nusta, a female figure who defeated all four.
As Catholicism took hold in the area, Nusta later became identified with the Virgen del Socavon.
As a sign of their gratitude to Nusta/Virgen del Socavon and to tease the defeated Wari, who is often represented as a horned devil, the Uru people dressed up as devils themselves and danced to celebrate Nusta's victory.
The main carnival dance, the Diablada, recounts a battle between good and evil in which the Archangel Michael fights a variety of devilish figures.
It is believed to date back to the 15th Century, and has been practiced in its current form since the late 18th Century, when miners would dress up as devils and perform the dance in honour to the Virgen del Socavon.
There are also dances representing Bolivia's colonial history.
One of the most traditional is the "Morenada", performed by dancers representing African slaves brought to Bolivia during Spanish colonial times to work in the mines.
Their masks have outstretched tongues to represent the exhaustion from which the slaves suffered after long hours down Bolivia's silver mines.
Another popular character is The Bear, who plays tricks on people during the dance and entertains onlookers with his pranks.
Other popular dances celebrate rural life and Andean animals such as the llama.
One particularly athletic and colourful dance is the Tinku, a form of ritualistic combat.
A first-half Leigh Griffiths penalty had put Celtic 1-0 ahead on the night, and 2-1 on aggregate, against Astana.
But their evening was thrown into chaos when Agim Ibraimi scored from 40 yards.
Extra time - and possibly penalties - seemed to beckon until Dembele won the penalty that he then converted for his first goal for the club.
That sent a raucous stadium into absolute raptures, while Astana of Kazakhstan were left stunned.
They finished with just nine men on the pitch, Igor Shitov sent-off for his costly foul on Dembele and Dmitri Shomko also walking for a crazed protest at the awarding of the penalty.
Celtic now go into Friday's draw for the final play-off round - leaving them just two games away from the Champions League group stage. Even if they lose that tie, they are guaranteed a place in the group stage of the Europa League.
There was no early evidence that this was going to become so tumultuous. Celtic swarmed all over Astana from the start, hustling and harrying the visitors and denying them the space and opportunities they enjoyed in the first leg last week.
There really was only one team in it, Celtic dominating possession and territory. They lost Patrick Roberts to injury after just half an hour, but their control continued, albeit without many chances being created.
There was late drama in the first half, though. Kieran Tierney was taken down in the box by Abzal Beysebekov and Griffiths swept in his penalty.
Having given Celtic the equaliser in Astana, Griffiths had now put his team 2-1 ahead on aggregate - and early in the second half he could have put the tie almost beyond doubt.
From a Stefan Johansen pass, Griffiths could only find the Astana side-netting. Soon after, a raking ball from Scott Brown put Griffiths through again. As he was about to shoot, he was snuffed out by a terrific tackle by Shitov.
Astana stirred at that point. They had the ball in the Celtic net when Roger Canas headed home after Gordon was caught in no-man's land, but it was chalked off for offside.
It was reminder that the tie was far from dead. Brendan Rodgers brought on defender Kolo Toure for his debut to shore things up with half an hour remaining. Toure had barely drawn breath as a Celtic player when Astana scored.
They were caught out through the middle by a long ball; Gordon forced to gallop out of his box to avert the danger with a clearing header. Instead, the ball was gathered by Ibraimi, who promptly struck the most sumptuous 40-yard shot over the stranded Celtic goalkeeper and into his net.
It wasn't the first time Ibraimi had sickened Celtic. He was a major force in the Maribor team that dumped them out of the Champions League under Ronny Deila and now he was threatening to repeat the torment.
Level at 2-2 on aggregate, Celtic Park gulped hard - and then roared thunderously - when Dembele's gorgeous trickery ended with him being upended in the box.
The new striker, just turned 20, stood over the penalty and then smashed it home, cool as you like amid the cauldron.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
The women say they focused on the need to protect their rights in any future power-sharing deal. One delegate described the talks as "historic".
It is the latest sign of moves by Kabul and the Taliban to explore a peaceful end to the current conflict.
It comes a month after similar talks in Qatar between the militants and an unofficial Afghan delegation.
Little information about the progress of those meetings - which included several women - was made public.
About a dozen women flew to Oslo for the first all-female delegation to sit down with Taliban representatives. Many do not want their identities to be made public.
One of the exceptions is Shukria Barakzai, a female Afghan member of parliament.
She was targeted by militants in a suicide bomb attack last year but escaped with minor injuries.
Speaking to the BBC as she travelled back to Kabul on Saturday, she described the meetings as very important for the women of Afghanistan.
"Afghan women defended their rights with courage," she said. Their demands at this initial meeting were about "safeguarding the democratic values achieved in the last decade".
Both parties agreed that the ongoing conflict was in no-one's interest, she added, and to reach a peaceful settlement, they needed to continue talking.
The protection of fundamental rights for women in any future power-sharing agreement is likely to be a key issue both for Afghan women themselves and for the international community.
Under the Taliban, women were stripped of many basic freedoms, including the right to work and the right to education.
Many fear their lives will again worsen if the Taliban regains influence.
Some analysts suggest that changes in the past year - including the election of President Ashraf Ghani and the end of the Nato-led combat mission in Afghanistan - may make the current political climate more conducive to a settlement.
Labelled as "the mould which makes penicillin", the green substance was produced by Fleming in his laboratory after he discovered penicillin in 1928.
The Ayrshire-born bacteriologist went on to the win the 1945 Nobel Prize in medicine for the discovery which ultimately revolutionised medicine.
The samples were sold at Bonhams in London for £24,375.
It was while studying influenza that Sir Alexander famously noticed mould had developed accidentally on a set of culture dishes being used to grow the staphylococci germ.
The mould had created a bacteria-free circle around itself. Sir Alexander experimented further and named the active substance penicillin.
However, it was two other scientists - Australian Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, a refugee from Nazi Germany - who developed penicillin further so that it could be produced as a drug.
In addition to the mould samples, the lots sold included Sir Alexander's papers and memorabilia kept by his niece Mary Elizabeth Johnston.
Among them were Sir Alexander's journal of a 1945 tour of the United States and a 1957 telegram to him from the film star Bebe Daniels.
Head of Bonhams Book Department, Matthew Haley said: "The high prices paid for these lots reflect their importance and the enduring fascination with Sir Alexander Fleming's crucial discovery to which so many millions of people all over the world owe their lives."
Park, 49, was appointed in December, since when chairman Jonathan Browning has apologised for "failings" at the governing body following accusations of bullying and sexism against elite cyclists.
"From the interactions I've had with British Cycling, what I read in the paper doesn't represent what I see on the ground now," Park told BBC Sport.
Asked whether recent revelations have caused him concern about his new role, which he has yet to start, he added: "Of course, it would be a little bit disingenuous to say I've not had those thoughts at some time.
"From the reviews going on there are going to be lessons learned."
And Park, who joins British Cycling after overseeing British Sailing for 15 years, added: "Not being directly involved in the performance end of cycling historically, I very much hope that will be a benefit.
"Going in as a non-cyclist perhaps gives me the opportunity to ask those questions that people haven't asked for a while - to reassure ourselves that the processes we have and systems we have are appropriate."

An investigation into alleged failings at British Cycling is to be published imminently, but a draft version of the report has been leaked.
Responding to the leaked details, British Cycling acknowledged it had "focused on medal delivery without sufficient care and attention to the overall staff and athlete culture and environment".
The body claims it has instigated steps to improve its culture, but Sport England has asked for "more work" to be done if it is to grant £17m of funding.
Park admits public confidence in British Cycling's decision-making needs to be restored.
"We're the third highest participation sport in the UK," he said. "It's important to all of those cyclists to get British Cycling back, in terms of a governance and organisational perspective, to where we would all like to see it."
Park is British Cycling's first performance director since 2014, when Sir Dave Brailsford left the role to focus on duties at Team Sky.
Caley Thistle manager John Hughes had admitted that Dundee have made the midfielders pre-contract offers to switch to Dens Park next season.
"Dundee are not paying any more money than anybody else," said Hartley.
"I don't know where John is getting his information from, but it's certainly wrong. That's laughable."
Winger Williams, 28, previously of Kendal Town, and fellow Englishman Vincent, 26, formerly of Kidderminster Harriers, both arrived at Caledonian Stadium in 2013.
They helped Caley Thistle win the Scottish Cup in May, but Hartley described suggestions that Dundee had made offers that Inverness could not afford as "way beyond the mark".
Hughes has not given up hope of persuading the pair to remain in Inverness.
However, asked to confirm if Dundee had made contact with the duo, he joked: "That's 100% right and I'm going to drive them down there this moment because, for the money Dundee are offering, I would be down there signing for it too.
"That's just part and parcel of the game. Who says we're not talking to players, that we don't have one or two pre-contracts signed up ourselves?
"One thing I will say is that I don't think we can match the finances that - if what I am hearing is true - Dundee are wanting to give the players."
Hughes also warned the pair that, if they do want to remain in the Highlands, they both need to prove their desire to him before he asks the Caley Thistle board to release the extra funds that might persuade them to sign on again.
Williams has been an almost ever-present this season, but Vincent has made only 16 appearances and has not played since 2 January.
"For Danny Williams to stay here, he has to show us it's not all money motivated," added Hughes. "If it is the case that he wants to be here then it gives us a wee half nudge to try and keep him.
"In James Vincent's case, he has to get himself back playing. He's not had the best of seasons in terms of injuries.
"But right in this moment in time he has to get himself back playing before I can go clear it with the board that Vinny deserves another contract. He has to go and earn it.
"Hopefully they will be here next year, but if not, football evolves and we keep just moving on."
Joss Labadie went close for the Daggers early on, while home goalkeeper Mark Cousins denied Shaun Batt.
Luke Gambin weaved his way into the box to put Barnet ahead from close range.
Michael Nelson then met a Chris Hackett cross to steer the ball home from two yards out, leaving Dagenham winless at home in League Two this season.
Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still told BBC Radio London:

"Since I've been back here, I think that's the worst performance that we've put in.
"I thought that we had no tempo about our game today. I thought the first goal that we gave away was really, really poor defending.
"Sometimes you can be behind but you can actually be the dominant team. We were behind and we never really showed any dominance; I thought our attacking play was patchy."
Barnet manager Martin Allen told BBC Radio London:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Some of those players haven't played in a while so it was good to get them back out there."
"All credit to the staff as well for keeping the players fit in this little period and keeping the sharpness."
"We didn't have that many chances today, I don't think it was fantastic probably for our supporters to watch, but it's better to have two players up front for a change which was good for us, and again good to get another one of our youth players from last season on the pitch towards the end."
The researcher, employed by an independent production company, spent four days working on Monday's Panorama.
The show found that Lutfur Rahman, Tower Hamlets' mayor, had increased funding to some Bengali-run charities. Opponents accused him of attempting to influence votes, which he denies.
The BBC said the breach involved material from confidential sources.
A spokesperson for the corporation said: "We can confirm that there has been a breach of data protection at an independent production company working with the BBC on a Panorama investigation as a result of unauthorised disclosure by a former researcher on the production team, in breach of her obligation of confidentiality.
"This breach includes material relating to the programme's confidential sources. Our primary concern is to protect our sources and we are urgently investigating the matter. We have also notified the Information Commissioner's Office."
In 2010, residents of Tower Hamlets voted in Mr Rahman as Britain's first directly elected Asian mayor.
Mr Rahman won as an independent with only 13% of registered voters.
Almost two-thirds of those who turned out to vote that day were from his own Bangladeshi community.
Opposition councillors say they believe the grants were made in return for electoral support.
Mr Rahman categorically denies the accusation.
Officers were alerted to the incident in the Inverclyde town's Belville Street at about 23:20 on Wednesday.
On arrival they discovered the man with serious injuries. He died at the scene.
Officers remain at the scene and investigations into the man's death are ongoing. Police have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to contact them.
The BBC understands at least five branches of the party have nominated Colum Eastwood to stand against him at the party conference in November.
Sources said Mr Eastwood, 32, will spend the weekend deciding what to do but supporters expect him to run for the leadership.
Mr Eastwood is the SDLP's youngest MLA and a former Mayor of Derry.
In 2012, the Foyle MLA faced controversy after carrying the coffin of a friend who was a former member of the Official IRA and the INLA.
Dr McDonnell, 65, was elected SDLP leader in November 2011.
On Thursday, Dr McDonnell accused the Democratic Unionist Party of not wanting to work with Catholics and said Sinn Féin "can't tell the truth" about the IRA.
Analysis Gareth Gordon BBC NI political correspondent
The deadline for a potential challenge expired at 17:00 BST on Friday.
Normally the party leader is returned unopposed at each party conference. But not this year.
At least five branches of the SDLP have nominated Foyle MLA Colum Eastwood.
Dr McDonnell has faced calls to step down before, notably from the man who held the post before him, Mark Durkan.
Now it looks like all of Dr McDonnell's famous fighting qualities are to be tested like never before.
He defended his comments in an interview with the BBC on Friday.
He also said he did not expect to be challenged.
"I don't expect to face a challenge, but if there's a challenge, I'll face it," he said.
"I have a very robust programme flowing at the moment, of renewal in the party and it's working and people are up for it and we're bringing in a lot of new members and a lot of new people.
"We've a whole spate of new people proposing to go forward for the assembly. We brought in a fantastic spate of people for the council elections last year so I will stand on my record and it's democracy if somebody wants to come forward.
"I will win, yes. I will stand on my record. I have a job to complete and I will complete it."
Dr McDonnell has been the South Belfast MP since May 2005 and an MLA since 1998.
Meanwhile, the South Belfast MLA Fearghal McKinney is expected to make a bid for the deputy leader's post. It is currently held by Dolores Kelly.
The former reporter replaced Connall McDevitt who stood down in 2013 and sits on a number of Stormont scrutiny committees, including health and justice.
Mr McKinney is a close ally of Dr McDonnell.
Like the leadership contender, he has to secure nominations from at least five local branches.
The money will help to provide accommodation, employment and skills training for women fleeing violence.
Local authorities will be able to bid for a share of the money, which is the first part of an overall £40m investment package.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said the boost will mean "no victim is turned away" from essential support.
As part of the plans, new guidelines will be published which set out how local authorities should respond to domestic abuse.
The government said this will focus on "putting the victim first, providing flexible services that meet their needs, collaborating with other councils to open up services to victims from outside the local area and responding to the needs of diverse groups".
It would also require setting up "accountable local leadership" for services and a system of "independent scrutiny".
In a statement announcing the plans, Mr Javid said: "Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, at any time, which is why our £20m fund is designed to ensure no victim is turned away from the essential support they need.
"It will address the needs of diverse and isolated communities and boost refuge spaces, as part of a country that works for everyone and not just the privileged few".
As well as being the first wave of £40m in support for domestic abuse victims outlined in the 2015 Spending Review, the money is also part of the government's wider £80m Violence Against Women and Girls strategy.
Funding will only be available for local areas which are collaborating with other councils and external domestic violence services, the government's launch document states, because "domestic abuse cannot be addressed by one agency alone".
The fund is open to applications from local authorities until 17:00 GMT on 2 December.
Two females laid seven eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT), Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.
There are only about 200 breeding pairs of the critically endangered species left in the wild.
Nigel Jarrett, from the trust, said when staff discovered the first egg last week they "almost couldn't believe it".
Mr Jarrett, WWT head of conservation, said staff had "done their best" to enhance breeding conditions, with special lightbulbs, timer switches and lots of sand and netting to recreate the experience of migrating from tropical Asia to Arctic Russia.
"For the last two years - ever since all the spoonies came into maturity - we've been doing everything to get these birds in the mood for love," he said.
"And for two years we've come up scratching our heads and feeling a bit deflated. Now, we've had two mums busy laying and the significance of it is only just starting to hit home."
The WWT began trying to establish a flock at Slimbridge in 2011, as a back-up to the wild population which was declining by up to 25% a year.
But with its extreme lifestyle - including making an annual 10,000-mile round-trip between Russian Arctic breeding grounds and wintering grounds in South East Asia - the bird has never been bred in captivity.
In the wild, the birds have been hit by loss of habitat in East Asia and bird trapping by villagers in Bangladesh and Burma.
Mr Jarrett said the trust was now on the road to breeding spoon-billed sandpipers in captivity, which was "the ultimate insurance policy for the species in the wild". | Rangers have appointed Frank McParland as their new head of recruitment.

They have been caught out by a quirk of the old electoral registration system, which ended this summer, under which the responsibility for registering voters lay with the rather old-fashioned idea of the "head of the household".
Under plans brought in by the Labour government and accelerated by the coalition, the system has been changed to individual voter registration.
Now individual voters have to register themselves.
Although 87% of existing voters have been automatically transferred, 13% have not and it appears that it is students who have been left out.
Before this October, first-year students tended to be registered en masse by their college or university acting as "head of the household", which ensured almost 100% registration.
This year, that was no longer allowed and student registration has fallen significantly.
Although non-student areas also saw a drop in the number of registered voters, the change in student towns was much higher.
The BBC looked at figures from nine areas where the student population is low - North Norfolk, Tamworth, Tewkesbury, Derbyshire Dales, Barrow-in-Furness, Weymouth and Portland, Boston and Richmondshire.
In those areas, the total number of registered voters, which was 457,099 in 2012 dropped by 4,139 in 2013 and dropped by nearly three times as much, 11,394 ,between 2013 and 2014.
But in 21 areas with large student populations, the change is more dramatic.
The BBC looked at voter registration figures from Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Cardiff, Leicester, Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Cambridge, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Canterbury, Swansea, Bath and North East Somerset, Bradford, Bournemouth, Exeter, Kirklees, Lancaster, Norwich and Derby.
In total, registered voters, who numbered nearly 4.49m in 2012, dropped by 9,727 in 2013 and by a massive 181,552 in 2014 - nineteen times higher than the drop-off the previous year.
In one of those towns, Oxford, registrations in some wards with large amounts of student residents fell by 60%.
It is not possible to prove every one of these missing voters is a student, but universities, local authorities and student bodies are confident the vast majority are.
Constitution Minister Sam Gyimah says the government is aware of the problem. He told us: "We've invested so far £4.2m to ensure that under-represented groups, of which students are one - you've got black and minority ethnic groups, you've also got other types of voters - are targeted and reached by the local authorities to get them on the register."
The registration process is online and takes just minutes to complete so some people ask why, if students want to vote and think it's important, they don't take responsibility and complete the form?
Others however think local authority election registration officers, the Electoral Commission, and universities should be being more proactive in informing students that they need to act.
The "Bite the Ballot" campaign to encourage greater youth participation in elections says it thinks such bodies have underestimated the scale of the problem, even describing it as "a crisis"
Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute, who has studied the impact of student voting, says if the situation stays as it is, then our democracy will suffer.
"There are 12 seats at the next general election that we estimate could be decided by the student population. With the next election looking like it will be very close, 12 seats could decide who makes up the next government."
The Electoral Commission insists it is dealing with the problem.
"It's important that those people not currently registered to vote are targeted to ensure the registers are as accurate and complete as possible.
"To support the local activity that is happening, we are running a national, mass media public awareness campaign from 16 March and are already working with a range of partners to help get people, including students, registered before the 20 April deadline"
Some student groups are concerned, though, that mid-March 2015 is a little late to catch the thousands of students who, right now, are not only not registered to vote at university in an election that will happen during term time, but who still seem unaware they even need to register.
Paul Ripley, 53, abducted the girl as she walked home in Ellesmere Port, Chester Crown Court heard.
He bundled her into his car and drove her hundreds of miles north to a field where he raped her twice.
Jailing him for ten years, Judge Nicholas Woodward told him he had acted "for your own sexual gratification".
The girl, who was left alone near Darlington, flagged down a taxi driver, saying: "I don't know where I am. I've been raped."
Police were quickly able to trace Ripley's car as he drove back south to Cheshire, arresting him on the M6 in Lancashire after he crashed into a police car within hours of the attack.
He told officers: "It doesn't matter, I've done it all."
Ripley had pleaded guilty to rape, kidnap and dangerous driving and will be under supervision for 24 years in total.
Judge Woodward said: "You are the living embodiment of every parent's worst nightmare."
In a statement to the court, the girl's mother said: "I can only imagine what my daughter went through that night, the pain, confusion, panic and fear.
"What that man did to her that night has changed her and me forever.
"I can't and never will understand what drives a human being to do what he did."
The group of fans who towed it more than 2,000 miles around France in the summer say it is now beyond repair.
After a Christmas party in the vehicle over the festive period, they plan to get rid of it in the new year.
They offered it to a museum, but it was rejected, so they are now considering entering it into a demolition derby.
The 20-year-old Green And White Army (GAWA) caravan has its own Facebook page and attracted international media attention at the Euros as it travelled around France.
It went from Cherbourg in the north-west to the southern coastal city of Nice, before heading north again to Paris, via Lyon.
To save money, the fans tried to avoid toll roads so ended up driving almost 3,000 miles.
One of the supporters, Lee Brooks, said: "We offered it to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, but they didn't want it. They said it wasn't old enough for a museum.
"It's a pity because this caravan certainly has a bit of history to it."
The vehicle needed running repairs during the journey through France, especially after negotiating the twisting roads of the Alps.
On a number of occasions, the supporters considered abandoning it and using hotels. However, the caravan became a magnet for attention wherever they went so they stuck with it.
One of the fans involved, Noel Cowan, said: "We had Austrians, Germans and Poles in the caravan with us at various times. We had a BBQ with them all.
"It was unreal - memories that we'll never forget."
The fans' plan had been to keep the caravan for the next two years in case Northern Ireland qualify for the World Cup in Russia, but they have now reluctantly accepted that will not be possible.
"It wouldn't even make it to the ferry at Larne, never mind Moscow," said Mr Cowan.
Loganair is offering a 50% discount to eligible customers who need to make bookings at short notice because of a family emergency.
These include travel to funerals of an immediate family member.
Loganair said the new policy was developed in partnership with two Shetland-based campaigners.
Scott Preston and James Stewart started a campaign on Facebook calling for reduced fares and greater flexibility in booking travel on Loganair's routes.
Western Isles, Shetland and Orkney councils backed the campaign.
The discounted fares can be applied for when there has been a bereavement, critical unexpected illness or in-patient treatment involving an immediate family member.
Loganair chief executive Stewart Adams said: "With the introduction of this policy we believe Loganair is now offering a comprehensive compassionate fare unique in the UK airline industry.
"More importantly, we are confident the reduced fares will be of great benefit to our customers in circumstances of bereavement and critical illness - the very times they need assistance most.
"The compassionate fare policy is the direct result of weeks of constructive collaboration between the airline, Scott Preston and the volunteers of the Facebook page campaign."
An application form has been made available on Loganair's website for people who want to use the discount.
The colourful phenomenon was visible in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but was also spotted as far south as Anglesey and Oxfordshire.
But Lancaster University's AuroraWatch UK missed sending out an alert advising the public of potential sightings.
To improve accuracy, it is now using kit in Aberdeen rather than Lancaster.
The Scottish city's potential for seeing the aurora, also known as the Northern Lights, is celebrated in the traditional Scottish song, The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen.
Lancaster University, which regularly provides advance warnings of the aurora, issued an apology and a detailed explanation to why it missed the displays earlier this year.
In a new statement, it said: "Following on from that missed event, we have been working on a few changes to our alert system to hopefully improve our alert level accuracy.
"Whilst some of those changes are still being worked on and tested, today we made the switch to using data from our Aberdeen magnetometer, rather than our Lancaster magnetometer, to generate alerts.
"Because Aberdeen is quite a bit further north than Lancaster, our magnetometer there records higher levels of disturbance in the earth's magnetic field. This means that we are more likely to issue alerts, and of a higher level, than before."
Aurora Borealis occurs when electrically-charged particles from the Sun enter the Earth's atmosphere.
The Aberystwyth-set drama, which has been sold to more than 12 countries, has been singled out by Welsh assembly members.
The Welsh government estimated filming the series in Ceredigion was worth £4.2m to the economy, as well as raising the profile of Wales abroad.
Producers say EU funding was "crucial" to the series getting off the ground.
The assembly enterprise and business committee said Hinterland was an example of how Wales can benefit from Brussels.
The committee wants a more joined up approach to applying for funding by councils and Welsh government, as happens in Scotland and Ireland, and suggested appointing a 'EU funding champion'.
It said an "overemphasis" in Wales on structural funding meant "significant opportunities" such as those which the drama had taken advantage of had been missed out on.
The committee report looking into EU funding says Wales can learn from the creative industries and universities in how to tap in to the wider range of grants available from a £33bn (42bn euro) pot over the next seven years.
Fiction Factory, which produces Hinterland/Y Gwyll for BBC Wales and S4C, received development funding of €45,000 (£35,800) and later €500,000 (£398,700) under the EU's MEDIA programme towards the actual production of the first series.
This amounted to around 15% of the overall cost.
"The ambition of the series was greater than the money that was available from the local broadcasters, from S4C and BBC Wales," the company told the committee.
"Therefore, it was crucial for the project that we received that European funding, and it will be crucial for future projects."
It got the money because it could prove that around a dozen EU nations would buy the series. A major distributor had picked up the rights to the series and gambled on selling it.
Shot in both Welsh and English, so far, Hinterland has been sold to at least 12 countries including Denmark, 30 territories and to Netflix in the US and Canada.
An application for funding for the second series - also backed by the distributor - has gone in.
Filming will begin in September, with the core cast led by Richard Harrington as detective Tom Mathias.
Series producer Gethin Scourfield said: "There's a lot of competition for this money, which is a finite amount, but we couldn't have done it without it.
"The paperwork is hard, and it doesn't get better for the second series, you have to put the work in. But we had help from Judy Wasdell of MEDIA Antenna Wales [with the application], who knows the ins and outs."
The committee's report also praises Cardiff University for its use of the Erasmus programme, which pays for students to exchange with others in the EU.
Cardiff has now a target of sending 17% of its students abroad at some stage to study, geared to improving employment prospects.
Wales is set to benefit from EU structural and regional development funding worth £2.3bn until 2020.
Quinn signed for Notts County in February, but was left without a club when the Magpies folded in April.
The 26-year-old, who spent four years with Swedish side Eskilstuna United before joining Notts County, has won 47 caps for the Republic of Ireland.
"She is an experienced player who adds strength to our defence," manager Pedro Martinez Losa told the club website.
NHS figures show 25 patients a month are treated in hospitals more than 186 miles (300km) away while 255 a month travelled more than 62 miles (100km).
Health bosses said patients were only sent far from home if the facilities do not exist in their locale.
Mental health charity Mind said the practice was "unacceptable".
Of the 25 patients being moved more than 300km for a bed each month, Cornwall accounts for about ten of these.
Patients from Norfolk, Suffolk, Devon, Yorkshire, Leicestershire and Manchester are among those sent at least 124 miles (200km) for beds.
The figures relate to adults only and have been compiled by NHS Digital from December 2016 to February 2017.
Vicki Nash, from mental health charity Mind, said the situation was "unacceptable".
She said: "When you're experiencing a mental health crisis your support network of family and friends are instrumental to recovery. Being far from home can make your mental health even worse and can increase the risk of suicide."
Dr Ranga Rao, the Royal College of Psychiatrists' national lead for acute in-patient care, said: "Inevitably, recovery takes longer during out-of-area care because people are away from their home, and don't have access to their friends and family. It can't in any way be beneficial to your recovery."
The Government has pledged to eliminate inappropriate out of area placements by 2020-21.
Pol Hodge is from Cornwall and his daughter Chloe is being treated at an adult facility in Pontypridd, Wales, 200 miles away.
He said: "We calculated we have travelled around the world one a half times visiting Chloe in the last three and a half years.
"It's horrible because it holds up her recovery. Regular visits from friends and family are an important part of the process, but it isn't possible when she is so far away. It's incredibly disruptive but there isn't a place for her in Cornwall."
NHS Kernow, the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said: "Cornwall's figures for out of area placements are generally low, but for some people who need highly specialist care, they may need to be placed in the most suitable setting for their care, which unfortunately may be somewhere out of county.
"This may be because we do not have the facilities in county to support them, either due to the demand for their particular need, or because their needs may be specialist, and only available from particular providers."
The figures for individual trusts and CCGs are rounded to the nearest five.
Last year Cornwall's coroner raised concerns with the health secretary over the care of mentally ill patients far from home.
It came after an inquest jury concluded the death of a man from St Austell was suicide, while undergoing care 140 miles from where he lived.
Jones started all three Tests against New Zealand, while scrum-half Rhys Webb came off the bench in each of them.
Fly-half Dan Biggar and flanker Justin Tipuric did not play in the Tests.
"You'd expect someone like Alun Wyn to be last [to return] with the amount of rugby he's played," said new Ospreys forward coach Allen Clarke.
"The likes of Tips and Rhys will be a little bit earlier, but that's going to be - I would suggest - more the middle of September and thereafter."
The revamped Pro14 season awaits the Lions quartet and Clarke is relishing the prospect of working with 31-year-old Jones, who has won 110 Wales caps and nine more for the Lions.
Jones faced social media and pundit criticism after the Lions lost the first Test against New Zealand and Clarke was impressed by his response as Warren Gatland's tourists fought back to draw.
"Alun Wyn in particular probably epitomises what an Osprey player is about," said former Ulster hooker and forwards coach Clarke.
"He may have come under a little bit of criticism, but he built into the series and his performance improved, he showed resilience, he blocked out what wasn't important, he focused on what is important.
"And I haven't had any direct conversation with him.
"I was looking as an outsider, as a supporter of the Lions, but obviously as someone who wanted to see Ospreys players do particularly well.
"And I felt it was fantastic, where he ended up, the contribution he showed, particularly in Tests two and three."
Clarke also says Wales back-rows Dan Lydiate (knee) and James King (ankle) are "making good progress" as they target returning in the new season.

BBC News website readers and people posting on social media sites have been discussing the announcement that 2017 will be the last year of the show in San Diego.
The overwhelming majority of comments are in favour of ending these aquatic displays.
However Lorna who emailed the BBC shared a different perspective. "I have been to Florida six times. I do not think these animals are mistreated in any way nor do I think they are in pain, they seem to enjoy themselves. What about those countries of the world who hunt whales, and wipe out their natural existence in the wild? The 'do gooders' of the world should divert their efforts to an animal cause that really needs them."
But the majority of responses were overwhelmingly against aquatic shows in which killer whales are trained to perform on command.
But shows, like the one pictured above, have been performed by the animals for decades and continue to be a popular tourist attraction, as David Arnold tweets below:

Wenger will reach 20 years in charge of the Gunners in October, but the last of his three league titles came in 2004 and some fans held up "time for change" banners at Emirates Stadium.
"I thought the whole stadium would be white (with posters)," he said.
"One target is to keep 100% of people happy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do that this season."
Saturday's win took Arsenal above Manchester City - who the Gunners face at Etihad Stadium on Sunday - into third place in the Premier League table.
After fifth-placed Manchester United's 1-1 draw against leaders Leicester on Sunday, Arsenal need two more points to effectively secure an 18th consecutive year of Champions League football next season.
Against Norwich, a minority of supporters made their feelings known in the 12th and 78th minutes of the match - reflecting the 12 years since Arsenal were last champions.
Others responded with backing for the team and their French manager, who had earlier claimed his commitment to the Gunners had helped the club secure the loans required to finance the building of the Emirates.
"I am a football man. I am not a politician," added Wenger, 66.
"I am not in a democracy. I am in the next game, perform, try to do as well as you can and accept people's opinions.
"I think I can take that. I am in a public job and I have to live with judgement as long as it is respectful."
Wenger's contract with Arsenal runs until the end of the 2016-17 season, but he says he has no plans to emulate the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson before his retirement as Manchester United manager in 2013.
Wenger said: "You don't spend 19 years at a club - like Sir Alex Ferguson spent 26 years - without every minute of your time. You give your whole life for that and try to do as well as possible.
"There are disappointed people because we didn't win the league. Believe me, we are as well. We have to come back and win it and that is all we can do."
Mr Bercow told MPs that "opposition to racism and sexism" were "hugely important considerations".
Labour and the SNP praised him but critics said he should stay neutral.
President Trump was invited to make a state visit after meeting Theresa May in Washington last month.
A petition to withdraw the invitation - and another one backing the visit - will be debated by MPs later this month.
Responding to a point of order in the Commons, Mr Bercow set out his opposition to a Parliamentary address as part of the state visit.
He told MPs that addressing the Lords and the Commons was "an earned honour", not an "automatic right".
He said he was one of three "key-holders" for Westminster Hall, and referred to the US president's controversial travel ban.
"Before the imposition of the migrant ban, I would myself have been strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall," he said.
"After the imposition of the migrant ban I am even more strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall."
The Speaker said he would also be involved in any invitation to address Parliament's Royal Gallery.
Eleanor Garnier, BBC political correspondent
It was an unprecedented and extraordinary rebuke.
A diplomatic snub that in effect means President Trump will not be invited to address MPs in Parliament.
John Bercow's comments were applauded by MPs on the opposition benches - but critics have said he's abused his position and spoken out of turn.
Mr Bercow's decision risks undermining the prime minister's very public effort to create a new special relationship with the Trump administration.
He added: "I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery.
"We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the Speaker.
"However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons."
Mr Bercow said the other "key holders" were the Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler, and the Lord Great Chamberlain, a hereditary peer in charge of certain parts of the Palace of Westminster.
A House of Lords spokeswoman said: "The Lord Speaker was not consulted by Mr Bercow on his statement.
"The Lord Speaker will make his own statement tomorrow to the Lords."
As Speaker, Mr Bercow is the highest authority of the House of Commons and despite having been elected as a Conservative MP, must remain politically impartial.
He is in charge of maintaining order in the Commons and calling MPs to speak.
The intervention was welcomed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has called for the state visit to be postponed, while Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said Mr Trump was "not welcome".
But former UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Bercow had "abused his position" and that to have expressed his opinions in the way he did "devalues this great office".
Prime Minister Theresa May, who has criticised the president's travel ban affecting people from seven mainly Muslim countries, has defended the decision to invite him to make a state visit.
An address to Parliament has not been formally proposed, and no date has been set for the visit.
Downing Street said: "We look forward to welcoming the president to the UK later this year.
"The dates and arrangements for the state visit will be worked out in due course."
The 20-year-old has played two first-team games for the Royals since coming through their youth system - his most recent as a substitute against Huddersfield in this year's FA Cup.
Former England Under-19 international Samuel has previously had loan spells at Colchester and Dagenham.
"Dominic will bring pace to our forward line," said boss Steven Pressley.
The Sky Blues also have Bolton Wanderers forward Sanmi Odelusi, 21, training with them, with a view to a loan move.
Pressley also has a decision to make over 24-year-old striker Gary Madine, whose loan deal from Sheffield Wednesday expires on Friday.
Madine has scored four goals in 13 appearances for the Sky Blues since joining in November.
Donald Trump has called climate change "a hoax" and filled his cabinet with representatives of fossil fuel industries.
One of the world's leading climate scientists told me she was positively scared about his potential impact on the planet.
But so far the leaders who joined with President Barack Obama in Paris in 2015 to sign the global climate deal are standing firm.
As Mr Trump ponders pulling out of the UN climate deal, China, India, Germany, the EU and the UK have all reaffirmed their promise to curb CO2 emissions.
And in the USA itself, moves have already been made to consolidate the low-carbon economy in a sign that fossil fuel companies will still face a battle over CO2 emissions, even with support from the White House.
Only this week, China's President, Xi Jin Ping, warned Mr Trump that walking away from the Paris deal would endanger future generations.
As Mr Trump promises to boost jobs by scrapping President Obama's clean energy plans, China is pushing on with a $361bn (£293bn) investment in renewable energy by 2020.
China's green aspirations are undermined by its expansion of coal-fired power stations, but this week it also suspended plans for 104 new coal plants.
Xie Zhenhua, the veteran climate negotiator who forged a close partnership on clean energy between the two mega-powers, told China Daily that the global momentum behind low-carbon technology was unstoppable.
He was quoted as saying: "Industrial upgrades aiming for more sustainable growth is a global trend… it is not something that can be reversed by a single political leader.
"The international community and US citizens will pressure the Trump administration to continue clean energy policies."
The State Department may not dismiss this flippantly: while US-Chinese relations may be increasingly frosty in many areas, climate change and clean energy remain a valuable sphere of co-operation.
American politicians may also be wary of watching China seize the moral heights as world leader in tackling climate change.
India is also standing firm.
Its energy minister, Piyush Goyal, said this week: "We respect the fact that America has chosen its leader.
"However, clean energy is not something that we are working on because somebody else wants us to do it - it's a matter of faith and the faith of the leadership in India.
"Nothing on Earth is going to stop us from doing that."
Solar energy prices are now on a par with coal in India, which boasts the world's biggest solar farm and the first chemical plant to eat its own CO2 emissions.
It will continue to expand coal-fired generation for the next few years, but its National Electricity Plan projects no further increase in coal-based capacity after 2022 - much earlier than previously suggested.
Dollars, technology and jobs will pour into clean energy in these countries, and the USA will surely be keen not to miss out.
Meanwhile, moves are being made to consolidate President Obama's climate legacy.
The US previously pledged $3bn to the UN's green fund to help poor countries adapt to climate change and get clean technology.
Mr Trump won support among some voters for promising to stop payments and spend the cash on American citizens instead.
But this week President Obama slipped the fund a further $500m.
And it won't just be on the international stage that Mr Trump's team will face fossil fuel battles.
Some early skirmishes on American soil are already under way.
This week, the Environmental Protection Agency cemented stricter efficiency standards for cars.
Republicans will try to reverse this - but when carmakers previously resisted efficiency rules, they ended up producing such uncompetitive gas-guzzlers that the industry had to be bailed out.
Even Republican plans to boost extraction of fossil fuels, while popular in some states because the industries create jobs, will provoke local resistance from people who don't want oil pipelines, or don't want the tops blown off their mountains to get to coal.
It may be hard to persuade investors to put cash into coal anyway.
Many states will resist fossil fuels, too.
California has long led the way on car emissions and recently insisted it will keep its right to set its own tighter regulations for cars.
Mr Trump's team may try to rescind this.
There are already CO2 trading schemes between states on the east and west coasts, and last week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced plans to build enough offshore wind capacity by 2030 to power 1.25 million homes.
Here's the big picture: as the world moves together to tackle climate change, it is clearly problematic if the biggest historic polluter threatens to pull in the opposite direction.
Will Angela Merkel, for instance, be so sanguine about Germany's controversial switch to renewables if the US forces its already-low energy prices even lower, triggering protests from German industry?
In the words of Jo Haigh, professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College, London: "If Trump does what he said he'd do, and others follow suit, my gut feeling is that I'm scared. Very scared."
But he may not. And they may not.

Sajid Javid told the Commons that the government was working very hard to find a buyer for the South Wales plant, which is being sold by Tata Steel.
Among options being considered was "the possibility of co-investing with a buyer on commercial terms", he said.
Earlier, Tata announced the sale of its Scunthorpe plant to Greybull Capital.
The Long Products Europe business was sold to the investment firm for a token £1 or €1. The move will safeguard 4,400 UK jobs, but workers are being asked to accept a pay cut and less generous pension arrangements.
The future of the larger Port Talbot is still in doubt, however, although at least one potential buyer has expressed an interest. The government has resisted calls from unions and opposition politicians to nationalise the Port Talbot plant, Britain's biggest steelworks, to safeguard thousands of jobs.
Mr Javid said that the sale process for Port had only just started, but all options are still being explored.
This included "investment or funds from government," Mr Javid said. "But it has to be on commercial terms." He added: "I've been in contact with potential buyers, making clear that the government stands ready to help."
Mr Javid said: "Several weeks ago Tata told me in confidence that they were seriously considering an immediate closure of Port Talbot, not a sale, a closure.
"That would have meant thousands of hard-working men and women could already be out of a job. Thousands more would have been facing a very bleak future. I was not prepared to let that happen."
Tony Burke, assistant general secretary of Unite, said the union would be holding Mr Javid to his commitment to co-invest if necessary. "The penny appears to have dropped that there should be an active government supporting steel and manufacturing as the best best hope of securing the future of the industry.
"We look forward to sitting down with secretary of state to hear more of his plans for co-investment," Mr Burke said.
MPs will hold an emergency debate on the steel industry on Tuesday, called for by Labour's shadow business secretary, Angela Eagle.
She complained that the government had refused to recall parliament from its Easter break to discuss the news that Tata was selling its UK steel operations.
Tata Steel is losing millions a week and today's deal with Greybull took six months to conclude. Group Executive Director Koushik Chatterjee told me that the process would be given "due time" without specifying what that might be.
He also said workers should take comfort from the fact that the company had already waited two weeks before starting the process to sell Port Talbot and other assets and that he saw potential buyers in "the tens".
There has already been tentative interest from the steel company Liberty House but the vision outlined by its chairman, Sanjeev Gupta, would require a radical and time consuming restructuring of operations at Port Talbot along with significant government support.
That appeared to be on hand as the Business Secretary Sajid Javid said the government would be prepared to co-invest with a buyer on commercial terms to secure a sale of Tata's remaining assets. This is a step further than the government has gone before, and, while giving extra hope, also shows just how difficult it may be to find a buyer.

'Substantial support' needed for steel
Who might buy Tata in Port Talbot?
What's going wrong with Britain's steel industry?
Tata Steel UK: What are the options?
Is China to blame for steel woes?
Tata's sale of its European long products unit, announced earlier in the day, comes at a time when European steelmakers are struggling to survive amid a wave of cheap imports from China.
Greybull said it was arranging a £400m investment package as part of the deal.
The business will be rebranded as British Steel once the deal is completed in eight weeks, it said.
The new business would include the Scunthorpe works, two mills in Teesside, an engineering workshop in Workington, a design consultancy in York, a mill in Hayange, France, and sales and distribution facilities.
The token sale price reflects the difficulties involved in turning around the loss-making business, but Greybull partner Marc Meyohas said he was "delighted" with the agreement and believed the division could become a "strong business".
"At its core, it's a very, very good business," he said.
He also said Greybull had not ruled out buying other parts of Tata's UK steel business.
The Long Products Europe business makes steel for the rail and construction sectors.
The division was put up for sale in 2014. Greybull, whose interest was widely known, has been in talks with Tata Steel for the past nine months over a possible deal.
Greybull is backing a turnaround plan, which aims to return the loss-making business to profitability within one to two years, but will involve significant cost savings.
Staff are being asked to accept a 3% pay cut for one year and reductions to company pension contributions. A staff ballot on the changes will be completed on 19 April.
But Greybull said its plan "to reset the cost base of the business" had already been agreed with both trade unions and key suppliers.
Greybull also said it did not expect further restructuring beyond the 1,200 job losses announced last October.
That involved the closure of one of the two coke ovens at Scunthorpe and the mothballing of three plate mills, reducing annual production capacity to 2.8 million tonnes.
Unions welcomed the deal.
GMB national officer Dave Hulse said negotiations had taken "a long period of time", but said the deal would "safeguard members' jobs".
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community union, said the announcement "demonstrates that with the right investors, UK steelmaking can have a positive future".
Mr Javid said the agreement was "a step in the right direction for the long-term future of British steel manufacturing in Scunthorpe".
The Indian steel giant said at the end of last month that it was exploring "strategic alternatives" for its UK business.
Thousands of workers in England and Wales risk losing their jobs if a buyer cannot be found.
Tata Steel directly employs 15,000 workers in the UK and supports thousands of others, across plants in Port Talbot, Rotherham, Corby and Shotton.
So far, the only company to have publicly expressed an interest in buying Tata's UK steel business is Liberty House, owned by Sanjeev Gupta.
Mr Javid, who was on a business trip to Australia when Tata first announced it was planning to sell its UK steelworks, is under pressure over his handling of the crisis.
Raisuqe was sent off on the stroke of half-time for gouging Munster's CJ Stander as they wrestled for the ball.
Paul Williams, Sekou Macalou and Hugo Bonneval crossed for Stade who are four points behind pool leaders Leicester.
A late Conor Murray try prevented Munster suffering their first shut-out in 21 years of European rugby.
The Irish side are now out of the Champions Cup - barring a miracle series of results - after suffering three pool defeats in a row for the first time.
Munster were dealt a series of early blows with the loss of tight-head prop BJ Botha and full-back Andrew Conway through injury.
The opening try on 32 minutes stemmed from a burst by Waisea Nayacalevu, which led to Williams picking his angle between forwards Dave Kilcoyne and Dave Foley to score under the posts.
Morne Steyn converted and added a penalty for a 10-0 lead.
Munster then lost Tommy O'Donnell despite the flanker initially returning from a head injury assessment.
Stade were reduced to 14 men when Raisuqe was shown by replays on the stadium's giant screens to have put his hand in Stander's eye as they wrestled for the ball after World Cup final referee Nigel Owens had blown the whistle.
The chorus of boos was deafening as Ian Keatley kicked - and missed - the resulting penalty and the noise only intensified as the Welsh referee walked off at half-time
Steyn added a second penalty before Munster saw Rory Scannell's try ruled out for a forward pass.
Stade Francais flanker Macalou then tore clear for a try before full-back Bonneval beat Simon Zebo to score a third, although the Munster full-back combined with Scannell to create Murray's consolation effort with five minutes remaining.
Stade Francais: Bonneval, Arias, Nayacalevu, Williams, Raisuqe, Steyn, Dupuy, Taulafo, Sempere, Alo-Emile, Pyle, Gabrillagues, Macalou, Nicolas, Parisse.

But the recommendation by Wada that Russian athletes be banned from competing in events organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has raised fears in the media of exclusion from the next Olympics.
There has been much indignant denial by Russian officials of the Wada findings, but the most media outlets appear to accept them.
State-owned Rossiya 24 TV, in an extensive report, quotes the All Russia Athletics Federation saying it was "already taking tough measures to wean Russian athletes off the habit of using prohibited substances".
The English-language news channel Russia Today notes the "damning report", while carrying an interview with Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko who dismisses the report's conclusions as "baseless".
But the government-owned daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta lashes out at IAAF President Sebastian Coe. "The hastiness with which the new president is acting is a bit surprising. If the suspects haven't been proven guilty, why rush to demand that those who are possibly guilty be punished by the IAAF Council?"
Business daily Vedomosti worries that Wada's "unprecedented accusations" aimed at Russian sport officials may "lead to isolation of Russian sports".
"What's happening now is a major row in the history of Russian sports," it says in a front-page editorial. Online news website Gazeta.ru agrees, calling it "a heavy blow for Russian sport".
But popular daily Moskovskiy Komsomolets comes out fighting. "Everyone's using doping but only Russia seems to get done for it", it complains. But the paper also adds that "it's hard to break with an old habit".
"We had hoped those days of doping were in the past, we thought a corner had been turned," the paper laments. "There is pain, there is shame, there is anger here today, but Russia needs to change, we have no choice", it concludes.
An article in Vedomosti raises the spectre of Russian exclusion from the 2016 Rio Olympics, saying the threat is "very real indeed". This concern is echoed in the Sport Express in an article headlined "Wada versus Russia: Black Monday".
"The main question of the day is this: is it realistic for Russian light athletes to go without the Olympics?... We have two options left: dismantle practically the entire system of sport management right down to the base and try to frantically build something new, or proudly deny everything and watch Rio on television."
Another sports paper, Sovetsky Sport, blames the government for the situation. "Who spent money on professional light athletes and their brazenly maligned federation? The state," it asks and answers.
"Who now has to protect its investment? The state... it was taking care of the country's image. Now that image is going straight to hell. Not even now, but long ago. Why is the state keeping silent?"

Prof Donald MacDonald argued that this would be more effective than ditching the present opt-in system.
The Scottish Parliament will this week debate the creation of an opt-out system, where people are presumed to have consented to organ donation.
The proposal is in a members' bill backed by Labour MSP Anne McTaggart.
Prof MacDonald believes the example of Spain, which he said has a more rigorous approach to encouraging voluntary donations, should be looked at instead.
He said: "Quite apart from the moral and ethical objections to the bill voiced by most of the religious bodies who gave evidence, no convincing evidence that an opt-out system improves the rate of donation and transplantation was presented.
"We should home in on evidence obtained from the head of the transplant service in Spain, which has a very high rate of organ donation and transplantation."
Spain had an "opt-out" system of presumed consent to organ donation for 10 years, but abandoned it in favour of a revamped opt-in system in 1989.
Prof MacDonald added: "A national transplant organisation was set up with an efficient system of identification and referral of donors, collection of organs and liaising with relatives.
"Only since then did the number of organs available for transplantation increase to the present high levels."
Ms McTaggart has cited evidence which said that three people died every day across the UK waiting for a transplant. She claimed her legislation could save lives.
"That's what the bill is about. It's about making more organs available to people who need them, ultimately," she said.
Holyrood's health committee last month said it backed the aim, but not the detail, of Ms McTaggart's bill.
Committee convener Duncan McNeil said it recognised the "devastating impact on all aspects of family life of those who are waiting for donated organs".
He added: "As a committee we have to consider all the evidence placed in front of us and it was clear that there are differing views about the best way to increase donation rates.
"While the committee supported the aim behind the legislation, a majority couldn't support the detail."
Graham Clarke was found injured in Heywood, Manchester, on 5 April. He died later in hospital.
James Clarke, 34, of no fixed address, was jailed for 10 years after being found guilty of manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court.
The 52-year-old victim had accused his son of stealing his mobility scooter and the pair argued, police said.
Mr Clarke's family said: "Graham was taken from us in April in completely unnecessary circumstances.
"We cannot express how devastated we are that his life has been stolen and for this to have happened at the hands of his own son makes this particularly distressing for our family.
"We will never forget Graham or the many memories he has given us. Graham is now at peace and we have laid him to rest with his daughter Rachel."
Senior Investigating Officer Bob Tonge said: "This was a horrific and deeply personal attack that Clarke carried out on his own flesh and blood.
"Clarke has shown absolutely no remorse for causing the death of his own father, who he believed in his mind to be to blame for the deaths of his mother and his sister."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating police involvement with Graham Clarke before the death.
Warner/Chappell acquired the copyright - which was originally filed in 1935 - in 1988.
But judge George King ruled that the original copyright was only granted for specific arrangements of the music, not the song itself.
The tune was composed by two Kentucky sisters in 1893.
Mildred and Patty Hill called their version Good Morning To All, which later evolved into the song that is popularly sung at birthday parties around the world.
Warner/Chappell had been collecting fees since 1988, when it bought Birch Tree Group, the successor to Clayton F Summy Co, which claimed the original copyright.
It is thought to have made $2 million (£1.3 million) a year by charging every time the song was used in a film, television episode, advertisement or other public performance.
The case against the publishers was launched in 2013 by Rupa Marya and Robert Siegel, who are making a film about the song.
When Warner asked for $1,500 (£970) for the right to use Happy Birthday To You in the film, Ms Marya and Mr Siegel argued the song was in the public domain and should not be subject to copyright fees.
Judge King ruled that Summy had never acquired copyright to the song's words.
"The Hill sisters gave Summy Co the rights to the melody, and the rights to piano arrangements based on the melody, but never any rights to the lyrics," he said.
Mark Rifkin, one of lawyers who acted for the plaintiffs, said he was "thrilled" by the judge's decision.
"We did exhaustive historical research and none of it showed that the publisher owned anything other than copyrights to four very specific piano arrangements," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"In the second part of the case, which hopefully we'll get to start very soon, we're going to be asking the court to order Warner to return all the money that's been collected from everyone who has had to pay a licensing fee or royalty to use the song... at least going back to 1988."
"If they've collected $2m a year over that period, that's a large sum of money."
After the ruling was announced, Warner/Chappell said: "We are looking at the court's lengthy opinion and considering our options."
Despite the ruling, the song still remains under copyright in the UK and other countries - and caution should be exercised over its use, says intellectual property lawyer Mark Owen.
"As elements of the song are still potentially within the maximum copyright term it may be the case that someone still owns some rights to it," said Mr Owen, a partner at law firm Taylor Wessing.
"There are also complex questions as to what the impact of this ruling may be on uses outside the US, so film-makers here should not now rush into using the song without considering the impact of this judgment carefully."
Researchers from seven UK universities are working on clothes to enable people with mobility problems to move easily and unaided.
The team will work on "smart" trousers and socks which could help vulnerable people avoid falls and climb stairs.
One of the researchers is Dr Arjan Buis from Strathclyde University.
He said: "The mobility problems we are addressing take different forms.
"They can be found in people who need rehabilitation after breaking legs or other bones, in people with chronic conditions such as spinal cord problems or muscular dystrophy, and in frail elderly people.
"We want to help these people not only to become more mobile but to have power behind their mobility.
"We also want to ensure they have dignity, by being able to put on this clothing themselves."
The research also involves the universities of Bristol, Southampton, Nottingham, Leeds, the West of England and Loughborough.
The soft clothes will use bionics, reactive polymers and artificial "muscles" to help the user.
The researchers hope the clothes will alleviate problems caused by existing devices, such as poor circulation and damaged skin, and will reduce healthcare costs.
Those involved in the three-year project, which is being funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, hope to begin testing the technology in a year.
A spokesman from Age Scotland said: "Age Scotland is encouraged by any research that looks at how technology can be used to support people with reduced mobility.
"Reliance on helpers to move around the house or to get out and about can limit people's options in the life they would like to lead so anything that increases the opportunities for independent living is positive.
"With any new and developing technology, it's difficult to say whether it will provide the silver bullet to help people with mobility issues.
"What is a positive step forward is that different possibilities are being researched and investigated to provide a full range of options to give people choices that will suit their individual needs. "
The man, from Llantrisant, was struck by the vehicle at Bushy Park, Moycullen Road, Galway at about 01:40 BST on Saturday.
He was taken to University Hospital Galway but died later that day.
Police are appealing for witnesses. A Garda spokesman added: "The local coroner has been notified."
The Warriors' Scotstoun pitch was deemed unplayable for their Pro12 game against Edinburgh on 2 January, resulting in a switch to Murrayfield.
The club say there is a "high risk" of a similar waterlogged surface for the Racing fixture on 23 January.
Glasgow travel to Northampton for their penultimate pool game on Sunday.
Gregor Townsend's side need to win that match and the clash with a Racing side featuring World Cup winner Dan Carter to stand any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals. They lost the reverse fixture 34-10 in Paris.
Rugby Park, which has an all-seated 18,128 capacity, hosted Scotland's autumn Test win over Tonga in 2014.
Around 6,650 tickets have already been sold for the clash with the Top 14 leaders, and Glasgow will make an additional 7,500 match tickets available
The club insist that following "unprecedented rainfall and flooding over the past few weeks", the decision to move the match will give the Scotstoun pitch the best chance of recovering ahead of their next scheduled home game against Munster on 20 February.
Martin Lang, a businessman from Leeds, sent the painting to be assessed by the Chagall committee in Paris, but they declared it a fake and kept it.
Under French law, forgeries can be confiscated and destroyed.
Mr Lang paid £100,000 for the work in 1992. He originally wanted it back but has now said he will "walk away totally disillusioned with the French".
The case was featured on BBC One's Fake Or Fortune in February, when experts informed Mr Lang that his work was painted after the 1930s.
The painting of a reclining nude was dated 1909-10. Chagall died in 1985.
The artist, an early modernist, experimented with various styles including cubism and expressionism.
Mr Lang said he had been issued with a writ by the Chagall Committee, which controls the artist's estate and wants the painting destroyed.
"They're trying to get a hearing but I've said I don't want to go along that route," Mr Lang said. "I don't see there's a point. It's a lost cause, so I've just said, 'No, it's not worth it.'
"There's no point contesting [it]. It's in France, it's a French court, they will come back on their side. It's a terrible shame."
A spokeswoman for the committee said the matter was "in the hands of the courts".
"There has never been any doubt that this work is a counterfeit," she said. "It's very evident."
Asked whether the court would now decide if it would be destroyed, she said: "There is a whole procedure going on now but that is part of the procedure, yes."
It runs until Sunday with over 100 events in the setting of the town's Harmony Gardens.
Anne Reid, star of Dinner Ladies and Last Tango in Halifax, will open proceedings with her one-woman show.
Others scheduled to appear during the festival include John Cleese, Michael Parkinson, Joanna Trollope, Judy Murray and Steve Backshall.
The winner of this year's prestigious £25,000 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction will also be announced at the event on Saturday.
Alistair Moffat, festival director, said: "In a climate of political turmoil and unease, we could all do with a dose of fun and entertainment, and the Baillie Gifford Borders Book Festival has it in spades.
"There are serious moments of reflection and contemplation too, as we examine our rapidly changing world.
"This year the book festival has something for everyone and we look forward to welcoming our audience to Harmony Gardens to enjoy a truly memorable weekend."
Tania Clarence, of New Malden, south-west London, admitted the manslaughter of her three-year-old twins Max and Ben and daughter Olivia, aged four.
Professionals recognised as early as 2010 that she was probably depressed, the serious case review noted.
Despite making 14 recommendations, the review stated the disabled children's killings in 2014 were not preventable.
All three children had spinal muscular atrophy type 2, a life-shortening condition that causes severe muscle weakness which can result in problems moving, eating, breathing and swallowing.
They were found dead at their home on 22 April after Clarence had smothered them.
She pleaded guilty to manslaughter by way of diminished responsibility and was detained under a hospital order in November last year.
The report found that by the end of 2010 she was probably suffering with depression and had been "overwhelmed" by the high number of appointments she had to keep since her twins Ben and Max were born that summer.
Up to 60 professionals are thought to have been involved with the family's case.
Officials said the children enjoyed their lives and described them as "intelligent, bright," and "lively".
Clarence, 43, was observed to have had an affectionate relationship with Olivia, but the premature births of the twins caused a "huge emotional and practical adjustment" for the family in July 2010.
She told health practitioners she never had a full night's sleep because of the children's disturbed sleep patterns and was often found to be tearful and tired when they visited her, but had refused help for her suspected depression.
Mr Clarence said his wife had dedicated her life to loving and caring for the children and always put their wellbeing before her own.
At the heart of this case was the tension between supporting the family's needs while also being more assertive about using child protection measures to remove the children from an environment where the primary carer was under immense pressure.
The professionals also had to take into account ethical dilemmas about the children's quality of life, palliative care and the potentially competing parental views.
It has recommended:
The parents indicated they did not want invasive medical intervention that might cause their children pain and had signed a "do not resuscitate order" for ongoing treatment, because they prioritised quality of life over life-lengthening treatment, the report said.
Professionals had reported concerns Clarence did not always follow their advice and a discussion was raised about whether the child protection threshold had been reached in this case, "but this was never agreed", the report found.
Two local authorities and two hospitals explored the possibility of legal intervention in the case but an apparent breakthrough was made in April 2014 when their father Gary agreed to allow Olivia to have a stomach operation.
He was also seriously considering spinal surgery too, which though painful might have provided some benefits.
The report said it was not known whether the mother had consented to the operations because the pair had requested that all discussions about medical intervention be discussed with the father.
Clarence killed the children soon after she was left alone with them in April, when her husband went to visit his relatives in South Africa.
Created by Will and Grace writer Gary Janetti and award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill, it sees the actor knights play a bickering gay couple.
The comedy, set in a cramped flat in London's Covent Garden, also features Rising Damp actress Frances De La Tour.
Some critics panned the show, with the Telegraph giving it a one star review.
The show centres around Freddie, played by the 73-year-old McKellen, and his partner of 50 years Stuart, portrayed by the 74-year-old Jacobi.
What on Earth were they thinking?
The makers of Vicious, ITV's latest stab at a sitcom, have squandered not only the estimable acting talents of Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi and Frances de la Tour, but also the combined screenwriting welly of Olivier Award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill and Gary Janetti (Will and Grace) on perhaps the least funny new comedy in recent memory.

More like caricatures of themselves: they're camped up to the max, actual drama queens. And they're Acting with a capital A - thespian jousting. Take that darling, no you take that, ouch, you bitch. Which is rather fabulous.
Something like Frasier meets Will and Grace meets Henry V. Oh, and then Frances de la Tour turns up, as their bessie mate Violet, and joins the fun.
It's just a shame that the vehicle in which they find themselves isn't a better one. It's not just old-fashioned, pre-Office TV comedy (as opposed to post-office comedy, which is something else, possibly), it's also, frankly, a bit lame.

Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi have a ball as a bitching couple living in a cobwebbed, sepulchral flat, lusting after hunky new neighbour Iwan Rheon, confiding in best friend Frances De La Tour and hamming it up wherever possible.
It's a very traditional studio sitcom setup, made watchable by its stars and enjoyable by a waspish script. Also, in its combination of old age and homosexuality, it could be argued to have broken a little ground.
Not that creators Mark Ravenhill and Gary Janetti much care about that: this show is all about low blows and easy laughs - at which it excels.

Vicious was a particular letdown.
Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi may well be legendary actors, but it's going to take a lot to convince me that this isn't just a pair of gay refugees from a ÂBenidorm script rewrite theatrically bitching each other off for half an hour.

Jacobi and McKellen, who are both gay and in long-term relationships themselves, are having huge fun with their characters. Add Frances de la Tour, a sitcom stalwart since Rising Damp in the seventies, and this show is an instant classic.
Even the theme tune was right: Eighties pop duo the Communards, doing their cover of The Jackson 5's Never Can Say Goodbye.

The first episode, set exclusively in the dark grandeur of the men's flat, was ostensibly a wake for a dead friend. But what the writers were playing, mainly, was punchline pinball.
Set-up, gag, set-up, gag: there's a pow-pow-pow pace here, created by playwright Mark Ravenhill and co-writer Gary Janetti (Will and Grace, Family Guy).
It's not really to my personal taste - I no more like a laughter track on a comedy than I do a scream track on a horror, or a drama with added "quizzical eyebrow" prompts.
But Vicious remembers the "com" of "sitcom" in a way that many others do not (I mean you, The Wright Way). And yes, it's about a gay couple, but it also punches hard on the themes of ageing and insularity.

Its latest monthly UK House Price Index showed the average price of a property in October was £143,131.
That was 4% higher than a year ago and 1% up on the previous month.
The UK average price in October was £216,674 - 6.9% higher than the same month last year and 0.1% up on September.
The top five local authorities in terms of sales volumes were Glasgow City (1,031 sales), City of Edinburgh (1,020), Fife (564), South Lanarkshire (520) and North Lanarkshire (415).
The biggest price increase over the last year was in East Renfrewshire, where the average price rose by 17.7% to just over £222,500.
The biggest decrease was again in the City of Aberdeen, where prices fell by 8.7% to £172,870.
Across Scotland, all property types showed a rise in average price when compared with the previous year, with detached properties showing the biggest increase of 7.1%, to £251,709.
Registers of Scotland director of commercial services Kenny Crawford said: "The average price of a residential property in Scotland continues to show steady growth, with month-on-month increases in every month this year apart from February and August.
"This is a significant change from last year when there were decreases month-on-month in six out of the 12 months.
"Average prices have been steadily increasing on a year-on-year basis, too, with only one drop in average price being recorded in the past three years."
The government has banned all entertainment TV shows, including the popular reality talent show The Voice of China, and variety show Happy Camp, to get people in the mood for its Victory Day parade on 3 September, which will celebrate 70 years since the end of World War Two.
Some have described it as a patriotic move, but not everyone is impressed.
On China's Twitter-like weibo site, user Yaxixi described it as "ignorant brainwashing", while Alex Huaier said: "The victorious country is banning entertainment, whereas the losers continuing singing and dancing - isn't it paradoxical?"
Here are four other eye-catching - although perhaps not unexpected - ways China has been trying to ensure that Thursday's parade will be perfect.
China has deployed macaques and falcons to ensure the skies over central Beijing are free of birds during the parade - birds could crash into the engines of fighter jets, potentially damaging the planes.
Macaque monkeys have been trained to climb up trees and dismantle birds nests in advance of the parade, Chinese media reported.
The monkeys can dismantle "between six and eight nests" a day, and also leave their scent on the trees, which deters the birds from rebuilding their nests, one of the monkey trainers said.
Falcons are also being deployed to circle the skies, scaring other birds away.
It might sound extreme to some, but it's not unusual - hawks are also used to keep pigeons and small birds away from key sites in the UK - including Wimbledon's tennis grounds.
Meanwhile, officials have banned pigeons from flying over Beijing during the parade, warning breeders not to release them during the day.
Beijing has become infamous for its air pollution in recent years - face masks are a must during periods of severe smog.
But China's government likes to show that, when it puts its mind to it, it can even improve the weather.
There were blue skies in Beijing during the Apec summit in 2014, after officials told factories to suspend production, slowed work at construction sites and restricted the number of cars on the roads.
Beijing has pledged to ensure blue skies again for the Victory Day parade - although some locals have argued online that the government should do more to improve air quality for normal citizens.
The top brass will help lead the parade - and they've had to make sacrifices to look the part.
More than 50 generals, who have an average age of 53, will take part in the parade - and the tough training has led to them losing an average of 5kg each, state media report.
They have also been training for the "perfect standing posture" by placing playing cards between their knees and "between their hands and legs to keep their arms locked to their body", state-run China Daily reports.
China maintains tight control over its internet and social media, so it should come as no surprise that it's keeping an eye on what people are saying ahead of the parade.
According to China Digital Times, which reports on censorship in China, the government has issued guidance to the media stating that news and comments related to the parade must be "positive", while all sites should "actively promote positive, sunny netizen commentary".
Several roads in central Beijing will be closed, while many hospitals have been told to suspend outpatient services on the day of the parade, although the emergency departments will remain open, Beijing media reported.
Meanwhile, residents living along Chang'an Avenue, a major road where the parade will take place, have been warned not to open their windows in the run-up to the parade. One resident posted what appeared to be a notice requesting they "avoid peering at the parade from their windows" on Thursday.
The Beijing government is also securing the skies ahead of the parade - hot air balloons and hang gliders are among the things to be banned in recent weeks.
Reporting by Helier Cheung
Here people in South Africa share their views on Thursday's incident.
Loss of life is always regrettable. I sympathise with the miners regarding the wage issue.
But I must say that there is no need to go on strike with sticks and machetes.
They must understand that the police is not their enemy. The police were there to restore order and keep the peace while the two unions which were negotiating with the mining company.
There is a mixed reaction from people here to the incident. Many say the police have the right to defend themselves. It seems that these days people don't respect the police.
An investigation should be opened to find what really happened and to why the two cops were killed in an earlier incident.
I was a section leader in a detachment with the South African Defence Force in the 1980s when we were charged by a group of people armed very much the same as the workers at the mine.
At the time we were mounted in vehicles and were able to withdraw with no casualties. The effect however of this charge still stays with me.
From what was seen yesterday, I feel the police were not controlling the situation. This is due to a lack of training of the lower-level police and therefore of the upper echelon as well.
They should never have got into a situation that they are unable to extricate themselves from. To put police into a situation where there is little chance of withdrawal will only lead to this result.
The events in Marikana are a bit of a shock. The president should be heading to the area to do something.
This incident reminds me of the apartheid-era South Africa. There is no sense in shooting people who don't have guns. Are we going back to the days of the Sharpeville massacre?
A rubber bullet is enough to stop someone who attacks you with a machete.
As for the miners - they have a legal right to strike. It's not like they were causing trouble outside a police station.
It's a very sad situation.
The police need training so they don't act in the same way in a similar situation in the future.
I'm really upset by the incident. The footage looks like something from Libya or another civil war zone. It's unbelievable.
The Lonmin disaster is a sad continuation of the story of frustrated and unhappy South Africans.
I moved here from Switzerland 11 years ago and there are many opportunities in South Africa. But many younger people don't have access to opportunities because of substandard public schooling.
So many things are blatantly wrong in this country. After more than 18 years in power, the ANC can't continue to blame apartheid as the root cause. They have created an exclusive society and if you are not properly connected, you are actually worse off.
Many of us wonder when these sparks will trigger an Arab Spring-style revolt in the country.
This atrocious and outrageous violence is symptomatic of the relationship that has been developing between protesters and the police over the last two years.
There have been violent outbreaks and confrontations with the police continually.
It is no longer possible for the media to portray these as "isolated events".
South African people are angry and tired of the inequality that is so rife in our country.
It is heart-breaking to see our country being so brutally torn apart in a manner strikingly reminiscent of the apartheid days. | Thousands of students have failed to register to vote for the next general election, research for the Sunday Politics suggests.

A survey of more than 500 overseas students across 105 institutions showed 52% had a negative perception of the attempts to cut migration numbers.
Almost half of North American students in the UK shared this concern.
Universities have campaigned to have students counted separately from headline migration figures.
Business Secretary Vince Cable recently said that the UK's "torrid" debate on immigration risked damaging the economically valuable recruitment of overseas students.
He warned of the "public panic" over migrant numbers and how it could adversely affect overseas students.
The survey of attitudes of overseas students in the UK, commissioned by Regent's University in London, shows a contrasting picture.
While students feel that migration targets have made them feel less welcome, they have a positive account of their experience in the UK.
About four in five of the students backed the quality of their courses and teaching and almost nine in 10 would recommend studying in the UK.
There is also a distinction between the public drive to reduce migrant numbers and their private experience of people in the UK, with almost nine in 10 saying that they felt welcome.
There was more uncertainty about overseas students' relationship with other students and the wider university, with a quarter saying that they did not feel "part of the university community".
The survey found that 40% of overseas students "mainly spend time" with other students from their country and about one in five admitted feeling "isolated".
Almost a third of overseas students agreed with the suggestion that "my university is only interested in the fees I pay".
However, despite warnings that "negative rhetoric" about immigration could put off potential students, the application figures for this year show rising rather than falling interest in UK universities.
There have been drops from individual countries, but the overall figures from the admissions service Ucas, published last month, show that applications from overseas students are higher than last year.
Aldwyn Cooper, vice-chancellor of Regent's University, a private college that gained university status this year, said: "These findings show that UK higher education is unmatched in its global reputation. However, there are worrying signs that the government's migration policy risks alienating overseas students in the UK.
"This is being compounded by the tendency in some institutions for overseas students to be left in de facto ghettos, rarely mixing outside their national groups."
A spokeswoman for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said that international students make a "huge contribution" to the UK and emphasised that "there is no cap on the number of legitimate overseas students.
"But we need to ensure that the message gets through that they are fully welcome in the UK to study.
"Our universities are second only to the USA as the favoured destination for international students, and to maintain this strong appeal around the globe the government is developing an industrial strategy to ensure our universities stay ahead in the global race." | More than half of overseas students in the UK say they have felt "less welcome" because of policies on migration, a survey suggests. | 23,003,987 | 614 | 29 | false |
Police said a 34-year-old woman who was the mother of at least seven of the children had been taken to hospital with stab wounds but was stable.
Police have not confirmed Australian reports that the children, aged between 18 months and 15 years, were stabbed.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in a statement it was an "unspeakable crime".
He said all parents would feel "gut-wrenching sadness at what has happened".
A candlelit vigil and church service were held in Cairns on Friday night.
The house in the Manoora suburb has been cordoned off.
Police said it was a "tragic event" but there was no cause for public concern.
They have not made any arrests, but said the injured woman was assisting with their investigations.
Cairns Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar confirmed to reporters that the woman was the mother of at least seven of the children, but that formal identification of the bodies had not yet taken place.
"We believe the other child is a family member but that is being followed up," he said.
He said police could not confirm how the children died until coroners' reports were carried out.
Police are speaking to a range of people, he said, including a man seen near the house earlier in the day, but there are as yet no formal suspects.
Specialist police officers were being brought in from Brisbane, he said, including child trauma experts.
AAP reporter Cleo Fraser at the scene told the BBC residents were standing in the street in shock.
Queensland Police said in a statement earlier that they were called to a residence in Murray Street at 11:20 local time (01:20 GMT) following reports of a woman with serious injuries.
"During an examination of the residence police located the bodies of the children, all aged between 18 months and 15 years," said the statement.
Associated Press quoted Lisa Thaiday, a cousin of the injured woman, as saying that the children were found by their elder sibling, a 20-year-old man, when he returned to the house.
"I'm going to see him now, he needs comforting," Ms Thaiday said. "We're a big family... I just can't believe it. We just found out [about] those poor babies."
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said he was "deeply saddened and shocked" by the events.
"Indeed, the whole Cairns community and the people of Queensland will feel the effects of this tragedy, particularly at a time of year when families come together."
The deaths come with Australia still reeling from the siege of a cafe in Sydney which ended on Tuesday morning, with the gunman and two hostages dead.
Mr Abbott said in his statement that these were "trying days for our country".
Several police and governmental investigations are under way into the police operation and how the gunman, Man Haron Monis, was able to carry out the attack.
Monis was on bail at the time of the attack after being charged with sexual assaults and being an accessory to the murder of his wife.
A car packed with explosives blew up near car dealerships in the Shia area of Bayaa in the south of the city. More than 50 people were injured.
The Islamic State (IS) group claimed the attack, saying it targeted "a gathering of Shias".
At least 24 people were killed in other attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Baghdad saw a wave of deadly suicide attacks by IS in the first few days of 2017, but the number had dropped until recently.
An AFP reporter at the scene of Thursday's bomb reported seeing numerous burnt-out vehicles, and blood on the ground.
Security sources said the bomb was detonated in a busy street and was the deadliest attack in Baghdad for several months. A plume of smoke from the blast could be seen above the Bayaa neighbourhood for much of the day.
Medics have warned the number of fatalities and injuries could rise as they struggle to cope with scores of people wounded in the attack.
It is thought that car dealerships may present convenient targets for the militants because it is easy for them to leave vehicles laden with explosives alongside lots of other vehicles that are also parked in the same area.
As the clear-up operation gets underway, distressed relatives are reported to be at the scene desperate to find news of their loved ones.
The IS group has stepped up its attacks since the Iraqi army, aided by US-led coalition strikes, launched its campaign to dislodge the Sunni militant group from its stronghold of Mosul in the north four months ago.
The militants now control the west of the city, while the eastern part is held by Iraqi forces and their allies.
On Wednesday, an attack on used-car dealers in the Habibya area of Sadr City, a suburb in the north of the Iraqi capital, left 18 dead.
On Tuesday, a car bomb in the south of Baghdad killed four people.
On 2 January, at least 35 people were killed in a bomb blast in Sadr City, in an attack claimed by IS.

Seven fire engines are at the scene on the Blackstaff Road.
BBC News NI's Catherine Morrison reports.
Jonathan Elystan Rees said a lack of resources and lawyers in court as a result of less funding was making it difficult for staff to do their jobs.
His criticism comes after the CPS was blamed for the collapse of a number of high-profile criminal cases in Wales.
The government rejected claims budget cuts have affected the CPS' performance.
The CPS said it had tried to protect prosecution lawyers from the reductions; its budget has been cut by 25% since 2010 and staff numbers have fallen by 2,400.
Figures analysed by BBC Wales show the proportion of cases in Wales that did not make it to a full trial because of reasons relating to the CPS has gradually increased.
In 2009, CPS faults accounted for about 16.5% of case failures in Wales, compared to 19.6% in 2014.
Mr Rees, a representative of the Criminal Bar Association in Wales, said CPS staff were "operating with one hand tied behind their back at the moment" and often found themselves covering several courts at the same time.
"If you have properly funded prosecution and properly funded defence scrutinising each other's positions and challenging the case of either side, you're going to get the right result - that's British justice, that's how it works," he said.
"When one side or, even worse, both sides, aren't firing on all cylinders because they're not properly funded, that's when you get room for errors to take place and corners to be cut, not deliberately but inadvertently, and that's when there's a risk of miscarriages of justice."
Siobhan Blake, deputy chief crown prosecutor for Wales, denied cases were not being properly scrutinised, adding it had a conviction rate of about 80% - an increase on previous years.
"I'm very confident that we have highly-skilled, professional people who are extremely dedicated to the work that they do," she said.
The Treasury said the CPS budget settlement "protected core services", ensuring it had the resources needed to continue to tackle crime "effectively and efficiently".
It added the UK legal aid system remained "one of the most generous in the world" with £1.6bn spent last year.
Charges against two nurses due to stand trial for the neglect of patients at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend were dismissed last year after the court heard a computer log of patient records was unreliable.
The judge described the prosecution's reliance on the log as "unrealistic" and "faintly desperate".
In October 2015, misconduct charges against three council bosses were dropped just weeks before they were due to stand trial.
The case collapse followed judges' criticism of prosecution lawyers for being unprepared at earlier hearings.
A recent report from the CPS Inspectorate warned victims were being "let down" by poor communication from prosecution officials.
Inspectors said the CPS was slow to contact victims in almost half of cases it examined and did not always take their views into account on key decisions.
South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael has called for a new independent body to investigate complaints against the CPS.
But a spokesman for the Attorney General's office said complaints about CPS performance could be referred to the Independent Assessor of Complaints.
Dell, who made his British and Irish Lions debut in the win over Chiefs, has committed to the club until 2019.
Bresler, who joined Edinburgh in 2014, has penned a one-year extension.
"I'm looking for them to really push our young players on and help set the standard for Edinburgh going forward," head coach Richard Cockerill said.
"I've been impressed with Allan's performances for Scotland on their summer tour and it was pleasing to see him make an impact when he appeared for the Lions off the bench against the Chiefs.
"Anton is a physical player and has been a key player for Edinburgh in recent seasons."
Dell, 25, who won his first cap in November 2016, featured for Scotland in their Test wins over Australia and Italy on this summer's tour.
Bresler, meanwhile, becomes eligible for Scotland in the coming season as he will complete his three-year residency period in July.
The 2017-18 campaign will be his fourth season at the club.
Neither Ward nor West Bromwich Albion winger Chris Brunt figured for their clubs on Saturday because of injury.
"Of the two Chris has the better chance of being fit. We may decide to leave Jamie with his club for a couple of days," said NI manager Michael O'Neill.
"Realistically, his better chance is for the second game against Hungary."
Both players have been suffering from hamstring injuries, with Brunt having limped off after 14 minutes of his side's Capital One Cup clash against Port Vale last week.
"We have been in constant contact with West Brom and Nottingham Forest over the past few days. Hopefully they will be ready," added the NI boss.
Northern Ireland will welcome the Hungarians to Belfast for the second match of the crucial qualification double-header on 7 September, but O'Neill says his "initial focus" is on winning the game against the Faroes.
"The Faroes have made steady progress, beating Greece and going down to two narrow defeats, so we are expecting a very difficult game.
"They are a physical team and have improved their performances and results. We will prepare in the right manner and we won't treat them lightly."
O'Neill's men are second in Group F - one point behind leaders Romania and two ahead of third-placed Hungary.
Northern Ireland have never qualified for the finals of the European competition and the last time they qualified for a major tournament was the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
Meanwhile there are also concerns over the match fitness of Kyle Lafferty, who has been ruled out of Norwich City's opening matches of the season through injury.
The striker, who has scored five times for his country in the present campaign but is sitting on two yellow cards, returned to first-team training with the Canaries last week.
"Kyle is fit in the sense that he has trained but he has not played any games so we will assess how he is when the players meet up on Sunday.
"We need him for the Faroes, but also against Hungary, which comes just three days later, so that is a big ask.
"We'll monitor him through the week, see how he is, and get as much out of him as we can."
The NI boss indicated at the announcement of his squad last week that the fitness of Shane Ferguson and Ben Reeves was also being monitored.
Reacting to the news that defender Jonny Evans has moved from Manchester United to West Bromwich Albion, O'Neill was glad one of his key men would be playing more first-team football, having been out of favour at Old Trafford recently.
"I thought Jonny might move to a club that's going to be higher in the Premier League but as long as he's playing that's the main thing. He is a huge asset for us."
The Brazil playmaker, 24, has missed six games with an injury picked up in November's win over Sunderland.
"The City game is too early and I'm pretty sure the Sunderland match on Monday is too early too," Klopp said.
The Reds manager also confirmed that defender Joel Matip will miss the City game with an ankle injury.
The title rivals meet at Anfield on Saturday (17:30 GMT), with second-placed Liverpool one point above City in the Premier League.
Klopp said: "We love playing the best and they are in the groove of one of the best teams in the world.
"This is a very big game for both teams. Six clubs fight for four or one positions. Each game is kind of a final. If I wasn't sitting on the bench, I would buy a ticket for the game 100%."

Klopp was asked about the fact he has not been to Etihad Stadium to watch City. "I can see better from home rather than always standing up for selfies in the ground," said the German.
He also praised City boss Pep Guardiola, his former Bundesliga managerial rival.
"Our teams are completely different from when Dortmund and Bayern played each other," he continued.
"We know everything about how Pep played with Bayern but that is not important any more because it is different players and different systems. He was very nearly perfect with Barcelona. He had a big influence with Bayern and changed their style completely.
"He is an outstanding manager, 100%."
Klopp denied newspaper reports suggesting Liverpool could sign Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 23.
"Usually I don't say anything about transfers but I will make an exception. Nonsense," he said.
The centre's technology has been upgraded and new systems of operating have been introduced.
Personnel in Stornoway will also be able to share their workload with other stations, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said.
Angus Maclver, maritime operations controller at Stornoway, said the public would not notice any difference.
He said: "If you call 999 and ask for the coastguard, or issue a mayday broadcast, we will still be here to help you.
"The new national coastguard network will be able to oversee and assist with operations around the whole of the UK.
"Here at Stornoway we're now part of this network, so we can call upon help from our fellow coastguards elsewhere in the country, and also in turn help them out if needed."
He added: "It's important to remember though that the rescue teams in your community are unaffected. There will still be the same number of lifeboats, coastguard rescue teams, helicopters and other rescue resources."
The national network is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of this year. Aberdeen joined the network in July.
Christopher McNerlin, from Stratford-upon-Avon, was on flight BA0104 on Friday when he was bitten on the arm.
The Metropolitan Police said a 21-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and being drunk on board an aircraft.
Mr McNerlin was permitted to sit in the cockpit as thanks for his efforts.
He later posted pictures of the bite mark to social media, along with one of himself giving the "thumbs up" as he sat in the cockpit.

He wrote: "That time when you help restrain and handcuff a nutter at 40,000ft.
"He bites you, but it's all OK because Captain Kendal lets you sit in the cockpit."
British Airways thanked Mr McNerlin for his help and said the matter was being dealt with by the police.
The Met said the arrested man had been bailed till late May and confirmed the injured passenger received medical assistance for a minor injury.
This initial venture will involve a satellite going to the Red Planet to study trace gases, such as methane, in the atmosphere.
The orbiter will also drop a probe on to the surface to test technologies needed to land the second mission - a rover - that should arrive in 2019.
The path to this point has been a tortuous one, with the programme coming close to collapse on several occasions.
ExoMars has gone through several iterations since being approved formally by European Space Agency (Esa) member states in 2005. Its vision has expanded from a small technology demonstration to a two-legged endeavour that will cost in the region of 1.3 billion euros.
In all the upheaval, ExoMars has also now become a joint undertaking with the Russian space agency (Roscosmos).
The new partner literally rescued the project when the Americans dropped it as a priority, and will be providing key components and science instruments for both missions, as well as the Proton rockets to get all the hardware to Mars.
Wednesday saw officials from both Esa and Roscosmos inspect the finished satellite and test lander at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France. TAS is the lead European contractor for ExoMars.
One of its senior directors, Vincenzo Georgio, said that it had taken a herculean effort to get the satellite and demo lander ready for flight.
"The baby's there in the cleanroom and ready to go," he told me.
"How did we get here? Two reasons. The first was the willingness of the people who wanted this programme. And the second was that, despite all the storms - the funding problems, the politics - we worked as if nothing was happening outside. We worked triple shifts; we worked seven days a week. And you see the result."
The 3.7-tonne Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is equipped with remote sensing experiments that will make a detailed inventory of Mars' atmospheric gases.
A key quest is to better understand the presence of methane. From previous measurements, its concentration is seen to be low and sporadic in nature. But the mere fact that it is detected at all is really fascinating.
The simple organic molecule should be destroyed easily in the harsh Martian environment, so its persistence - and those occasional spikes in the signal - indicate a replenishing source of the gas.
The explanation could be geological: a simple by-product perhaps from water interactions with particular rock minerals at depth. There is, though, the tantalising prospect that the origin is biological.
Most of the methane in Earth's atmosphere comes from living organisms, and it is not a ludicrous suggestion that microbes might also be driving emissions on Mars.
"We are very interested in (a) trying to confirm the presence of methane and (b) also being able, maybe, to explain the origin," explained Esa ExoMars project scientist Jorge Vago.
"And either way, whether the origin is geological or biological - if the methane is coming from the sub-surface it requires the presence of liquid water, and that points to a Mars that is more 'alive' than we have thought up to now."
Schiaparelli is the entry, descent and landing demonstrator. It is named after the 19th Century Italian astronomer Giovani Schiaparelli, who used his telescope to describe surface features on the Red Planet.
He famously mapped what he called "canali" or channels, which others would later confusingly (perhaps lost in translation) refer to as canals.
The 600kg Schiaparelli probe will attempt the hazardous task of putting down safely on Mars' Meridiani plain.
Some of the systems it uses in the process of entry, descent and landing - notably its radar, computers and their algorithms - will find employment again in the Russian-built mechanism that puts the ExoMars rover on the planet in 2019.
Even if it works, Schiaparelli will be a short-lived affair.
It will have battery power to run a few environmental sensors and transmit their data home, but that is all. There will not even be an "I'm on Mars" photo because it carries no surface camera.
It is hard to believe today that any probe would go to the surface of another planetary body without this capability, and its omission on Schiaparelli is a decision senior Esa officials say they now regret.
All that said, the TGO will have a spectacular stereo camera aboard, which its principal investigator, Nic Thomas, hopes will provide a steady stream of imagery for the public to enjoy.
"The public can get engaged in this stuff very, very quickly, and it's nice to be able to feed that," he said. "Our target is to try to get images out into the public domain in three months after they've been acquired."
The TGO satellite, Schiaparelli and all their support gear head to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in mid-December.
Roscosmos is making the Proton ready for launch on 14 March. Arrival at Mars occurs in mid-October.
The 51-year-old lawyer was released from prison in August 2014.
At the time, his lawyer described Mr Gao, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, as emotionless, "basically unintelligible" and missing teeth due to malnutrition.
Mr Gao was speaking to AP, in his first interview in five years.
He said he was tortured with an electric baton to his face and spent three years in solitary confinement.
Mr Gao is known for defending members of the Falun Gong movement and Chinese Christians.
"Every time we emerge from the prison alive, it is a defeat for our opponents," he told the Associated Press from his home in Shaanxi province.
Unfortunately, the Chinese government's crackdown on Chinese defence lawyers did not end with the Gao Zhisheng's release from prison. If anything, Mr Gao's persecution represents the start of a wide-ranging campaign.
According to Amnesty International, 245 Chinese lawyers have been targeted by police since early July. Thirty are still missing or remain in police custody.
That number does not include other leading lawyers, like Pu Zhiqiang, who was arrested in May 2014 and has yet to face trial.
Many of the detained lawyers endured weeks of interrogation. Their families have been harassed, their homes and offices raided. Some have experienced violent beatings.
Mr Gao, whose wife and children live in the US, also said he would never seek exile abroad.
He described staying in China as a "mission" given to him from God.
Mr Gao was convicted of subversion and placed under house arrest in 2006, during which time he claims to have been regularly detained and tortured.
He disappeared in January 2009 before reappearing in March 2010. He disappeared again soon after and was revealed to be in a Xinjiang prison in January 2012 after state media said he was being jailed for three years for probation abuse.
Mr Gao said that propaganda was broadcast via a loudspeaker in his prison cell for 68 continuous weeks.
The Chinese government is yet to respond to the interview and has not responded to other allegations of torture previously made by Mr Gao.
Mr Gao's wife, Geng He, has said that she hopes her husband's case will be raised during talks this week between US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.

US hedge fund Elliott Advisors reached a "standstill" agreement after clashing with Akzo over the way the company should be run.
The feuding was fuelled by a failed 27bn euro (£23bn) takeover bid for Akzo, which its management rejected.
Elliott has agreed to suspend legal action against the Dutch firm and back Akzo's plans to improve the business.
Gordon Singer, the boss of Elliott's UK division, said it was pleased to come to an agreement with Akzo.
In May, the hedge fund made a legal bid to force the removal of Akzo's chairman, Antony Burgmans, after the firm refused to enter takeover talks with US rival PPG Industries.
PPG walked away from its bid in June and Akzo is now pursuing plans to strengthen its business, which include selling its chemicals division.
Mr Burgmans said he was "pleased our recent constructive discussions with Elliott improved understanding between both parties".
Elliott has also agreed to back new chief executive, Thierry Vanlancker, at a shareholder meeting on 8 September.
The hedge fund oversees about $30bn (£23.5bn) of assets and has a reputation as a no-holds-barred activist investor.
The firm, founded by billionaire Paul Singer, is notorious for pursuing Argentine debt for more than a decade, seizing one of the country's naval ships while it was docked in Africa.
Separately, Elliott has increased its stake in mining firm BHP Billiton as it looks to force the company to sell its US shale business.
Elliott took its holding in BHP to 5% in a bid to keep the commodities giant "accountable for delivering results".
The match, which finished 5-0 to the visitors at Stair Park, was attended by hundreds of visiting fans.
The clubs' links were formed when Stranraer and Rangers fan Jim McKie helped out terminally-ill FC Twente supporter Dennis van Unen.
His dying wish was to see an Old Firm game, which they managed to arrange.
Mr McKie and his friend James Hilton, 61, a Stranraer and Celtic fan, got hold of tickets for Mr van Unen and when he arrived in Glasgow for the game they took him on tours of Ibrox, Parkhead and Hampden.
The fixture this weekend marks a decade since Mr van Unen's death from skin cancer aged 34.
Links between the two clubs, some 520 miles apart, have remained strong since with Saturday's game the latest example.
Mr McKie admitted he was surprised the Dutch side agreed to take part.
He said: "To be honest, when I asked them if they would come I was almost sure they would say: 'No, we can't come.'"
"They said: 'Yes, we are coming and we are bringing the full squad - 27 players, all the coaches, everything.'"
"Plus we don't know how many fans - it could be anything between 200 and 600 - we don't know."
He said he and Mr Hilton had never imagined what helping Mr van Unen could have led to.
"It is huge, it is amazing just how it has come by one simple act," he said.
"James and me feel very humble about the whole thing - it is difficult at times to talk about."
However, he said that the surroundings of Stranraer's ground had come as something of a surprise to their more illustrious opponents.
"When they sent one of their team managers across to look at the facilities I could see the shock on her face," said Mr McKie.
"Stair Park is old school - but these guys like old school.
"They like the fact that it has not been modernised, it is not a 3G pitch - everything has been left as it is."
Stranraer chairman Iain Dougan said it was "incredible" to finally have the two teams meet on the pitch.
"The boys are really looking forward to it and even though it's a friendly, they're probably one of the biggest opponents we've come up against," he said.
"We're expecting the stadium to be packed with supporters from both sides, and businesses in the town will benefit as a result."
A memorial tournament is played every year at FC Twente in honour of Mr van Unen and another fan Boris Dijkhuizen, which Stranraer youth teams regularly participate in.
Jan van Halst, technical director at the Dutch side, said: "It's fantastic that the Scottish FC Twente supporters have helped to arrange this fixture.
"What started with a last wish from supporter Dennis van Unen has now become a close friendship between FC Twente and Stranraer."
He said they were looking forward to a "very special friendly match" in Scotland.

Ford guided the Blue, Black and Whites to last year's Premiership final, but they are currently ninth and just six points above the foot of the table.
"This losing run will make us stronger and a better organised team.
"We're going to get through this, we're going to fight our way back to form and winning ways," 50-year-old Ford told BBC Points West.
"It is not quite clicking at the moment, but we have to get through it."
Bath were beaten 15-11 by West Country rivals Gloucester at the Rec last Friday, despite racing into an 8-0 lead.
They have won just two of their last 11 games in all competitions and have already lost seven Premiership matches this season - more than in the entire campaign in 2014-15.
Ford continues to meet Bath chairman Bruce Craig, who he insists has given him his full backing despite the run of defeats, on a weekly basis.
"Bruce (Craig) has been really supportive," Ford added. "We have a long-term plan and we are sticking to that, looking at the bigger picture.
"He asks questions and I answer them. We talk a load of things through and we are trying as hard as we can to get through it.
Ford is hopeful Bath's fortunes will soon turn, starting with their game at fellow strugglers Worcester Warriors on Saturday.
He continued: "I am confident that we will come through this and I trust the players 100% to do that.
"We believe in what we are doing, we believe in our vision, believe in the way we coach and play."
Ellis, 27, played 17 Super League games in 2016, scoring five tries.
He told the club website: "It's going to be a competitive season, but hopefully we should do really well and I'm looking to help Hull KR get back up to where they belong."
Meanwhile, Albert Kelly, Mitch Allgood, Kevin Larroyer, Josh Mantellato and John Boudebza have all been released.
James Fewell - known as Bruce - was last seen leaving the Plockton Hotel at about 00:30 on Saturday.
He lives aboard a boat in the village harbour.
Coastguard, RNLI and mountain rescue team members have also been involved in the search for Mr Fewell. He is 6ft 1in tall, slim, with long, dark hair he ties in a pony tail.
He was wearing a blue woollen jumper and a pair of yellow boots.
The one-day course will take moments from The Simpsons and relate them to philosophical questions around morality, religion and free will.
Philosophy tutor Dr John Donaldson said beer-swilling Homer was a "complex character" who was hard not to like.
The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening and first aired in 1989.
It is the longest-running US sitcom and the longest-running US animated programme.
Dr Donaldson said the course - which is called "D'oh! The Simpsons Introduce Philosophy" - was designed for members of the public who had an interest in philosophy.
The course is being run on 14 and 21 January - though the earlier date has already sold out, the university said.
It takes popular themes from philosophy and applies them to different episodes and characters in the Simpsons.
"A boy without mischief is like a bowling ball without a liquid centre."
"Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is another nail."
"Beer. Now there's a temporary solution."
"When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!"
"Oh, Marge, cartoons don't have any deep meaning. They're just stupid drawings that give you a cheap laugh."
In particular, the course examines Aristotle's classic account of a virtuous character and compares it to Homer. The budding philosophers will then debate arguments for and against whether they consider Homer virtuous.
Homer is a very complex character in many ways," Dr Donaldson said.
"He's very gluttonous, he can be quite violent and self-interested. But at the same time he's a character that's hard not to like.
"He's very popular. He has a childlike joy of life, he's open to doing the right thing and he's a faithful family man."
Dr Donaldson, who is a long-term fan of the show, said the cartoon had a rich seam of moments for a philosopher to plunder, with many episodes having a moral and a moment of realisation.
"I like the Simpsons because it's a great work of art. It's a cartoon of a great tapestry. There's so much going on in it," he said.
"It encourages you to reflect on what's important in life."

BBC Hindi's Ravinder Singh Robin explains why the Sikhs are angry.
The spark for the current bout of protests came after a torn-up copy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib - Sikhism's holy book - was found in the village of Bargari, near Kot Kapura in Faridkot district.
The alleged desecration of the holy book angered many who came out to protest in Behbal Kalan, a nearby village, last Wednesday.
As tempers soared, police opened fire. They say they shot in the air, but two protesters were killed and dozens of others wounded.
The killings have further angered Sikh community members who have taken to blocking highways and bridges, demanding action against those who they say desecrated the holy book.
The protesters have said they will continue the blockade for three hours every day for another week.
No, in the past week there have been at least five reports of copies of the Guru Granth Sahib being desecrated.
Torn-up copies of the holy book have been found in different areas of the state - at Jandiala village in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Tarn Taran near Amritsar, Kot Kapura and Gurusar Jalal village in Bathinda district in the south of the state.
Police say they are investigating all the cases and claim to have some leads.
Dozens of people have been questioned and at least two people have been arrested in connection with the desecrations. Police said on 19 October that another 52 had been arrested "as a precaution".
The protests have disrupted life in large parts of Punjab in the past week.
The protesters, numbering in their hundreds, are mostly from unorganised groups although some radical Sikh organisations like the Damdami Taksal and Ajnala faction have also been seen at demonstrations.
The protesters are demanding that those they accuse of desecrating the holy book are arrested and compensation be paid to the families of the two men who were killed in police firing.
In some places, there have also been spontaneous protests by ordinary Sikhs who say they are fed up of eight-and-a-half years of misrule by the state government - a coalition of the regional Shiromani Akali Dal and India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party.
In some districts, farmers - who had protested earlier this month accusing the government of being anti-farmer - have also joined the protests.
Although some Sikh lobby groups and protesters have accused "a religious faction" of desecrating their holy book, the authorities say they are not sure who is to blame.
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has said there was a "deep-rooted conspiracy" to target religious places in the state by "some anti-social elements".
He has promised that anyone found guilty in "this unpardonable offence would not be spared at any cost and exemplary action would be taken against them so that it acts as a deterrent for others to indulge in such a dastardly act in future".
India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh has promised Chief Minister Badal "all possible help" to restore peace in the state.
The Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of Sikhs, the opposition Congress party and the Sikh clergy have all appealed for peace.
With the protests showing no sign of dissipating, many are warning that order must be restored quickly in a state which has a troubled past.
Although Punjab has been peaceful for nearly two decades, the state was the scene of a violent insurgency for an independent Sikh homeland in the 1980s and the 1990s.
In 1984 Indian security forces killed many Sikh militants after they seized the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Sikh religion's most important site.
In revenge, Indira Gandhi, the then-prime minister, was shot dead by her Sikh bodyguards.

In a ceremony at the main British base at Camp Bastion, the union flag was lowered and the camp was handed over to the Afghans who will be left behind to look after their own security in what has been one of the hardest provinces to tame.
Bastion was once the largest British military base in the world - a sea of tents, shipping containers and barricades, plonked on the flat, empty, red Helmand desert like the first city on Mars.
At its busiest, Bastion housed up to 14,000 troops. Its 2.2-mile (3.5km) runway was like any busy airport - at the height of the fighting it witnessed up to 600 aircraft movements a day. Its perimeter wall was more than 20 miles long.
It had its own hospital and water bottling plant, as well as shops, canteens and gyms.
It was a military metropolis from which the British, and later the US Marine corps and Afghans too, directed the fight in Helmand - the hub from which UK forces re-supplied more than 100 smaller bases at the height of the war.
Those have now all gone, and the British presence in Bastion has been almost completely erased.
Even Bastion's memorial wall, which bears the name of each of the 453 British military personnel killed in the conflict, has been removed. It will be rebuilt at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire - not just closer to home, but more secure. Helmand is still one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan.
So what might the British leave behind in Afghanistan after a presence of 13 years? What do they have to show for a war that has cost more than £20bn and hundreds of precious lives?
The British military believe they will be leaving Helmand in better shape than when they arrived.
Across the country, 6.7 million children now attend school, nearly half of them girls. That would have been unthinkable under the Taliban rule. Healthcare has improved; life expectancy is longer.
But corruption is still rife and violence, though suppressed, still threatens to tear the country apart.
Measuring success is perhaps hardest for those who lost loved ones here.
Robert Foster died in Helmand in 2007. The 19-year-old private was killed when an American warplane mistakenly dropped a bomb on his position.
His father John says: "Seven years on, I still struggle with the fact that my son and his mates were killed in a conflict that should never have happened."
He describes himself as being proud of what Robbie did: "I try to hold in my heart that my son and his mates thought they were doing the right thing," he says.
He also accepts that the country is now more stable, but he wonders for how long. The Taliban have already moved back into some of the areas once occupied by the British. John asks: "Was it worth all the hurt caused to so many?"
As this long war draws to a close, it's the question that hangs in the air: "Was it worth it?"
Many in the military believe it is too soon to tell; they are more reluctant to rush to judgement, when they witnessed comrades die and suffer life-changing injuries.
It's harder still for those who ordered men into battle. Andrew Mackay was the commander of British forces in Helmand in 2007. After reaching the heights of major general, he resigned his commission - in part out of frustration over the way the war in Afghanistan was conducted.
Looking back, he now says: "We should have done so much better." There was confusion from the start about the mission. Was it nation building, counter-insurgency or counter-terrorism?
As for counter-narcotics, he says: "It's a nonsense to suggest we were there to stop heroin getting to the streets of London." Today poppy production in Afghanistan is at record levels.
The failure to explain must ultimately lie with the politicians in charge. But there were failings by the military too. In the early days there was a switch in tactics every six months as a new brigade commander arrived with a fresh batch of soldiers, often eager to prove themselves in battle.
In the early days commanders did complain about not having enough men and the right equipment, but that did not seem to affect their desire to "get the job done".
Mr Mackay says: "We muddled through for far too long".
Pacifying Helmand was always going to be tough. The largest province in the country, it was remote, rural and lawless. It had long been a Taliban stronghold and centre of the drugs trade. Added to that, the British empire had history in Helmand.
The locals still remembered their victory at nearby Maiwand in 1880 during the second Anglo-Afghan war. The returning British may have forgotten, but the Pashtuns of the south had not.
Nor did the British really know what they were getting themselves into when they re-entered Helmand in 2006.
Dr Mike Martin, an academic and former army reservist, describes how they were "manipulated" by local tribes to settle old scores with rivals. He was one of the handful of officers who served in Helmand who was able to speak fluent Pashto.

He argues the British took far too long to understand the people they were trying to win over and "were trying to turn the war into something it was not".
Many still hold out hope for Afghanistan's future. It has just witnessed relatively peaceful elections and a transition of power. But there are also those who conclude the war was a mistake.
Richard Streatfeild served as a major in the Rifles in Sangin where the British suffered some of their heaviest losses. He arrived as a believer in the mission, but left with many doubts.
In his book Honourable Warriors, he concludes: "Any reading of the culture, the history or politics should have prevented us from taking on Helmand."
As the British now prepare to leave for good, he says: "It may be dressed up as victory, but it will be the paint on the grave."
Whatever legacy Britain leaves behind in Helmand, Afghanistan already appears to have had an impact on British foreign policy and any future military intervention.
Mr Mackay asks the question: "Has it dented our confidence so much that we can not longer put boots on the ground?" Looking at the responses to the crises in Syria and Iraq, his answer is "yes".
Maj Gen Andrew Mackay's Afghanistan: The Lessons of War will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday 25 November
Martin Shkreli, the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, told US media he would drop the price following the outcry, but did not say by how much.
Turing Pharmaceuticals acquired the rights to Daraprim in August.
It then raised the cost of the drug, which treats a parasitic infection, from $13.50 (£8.70) to $750.
Amid criticism from medical groups - one called the cost "unjustifiable" - Mr Shkreli on Monday defended the increase, saying the profits would help research new treatments.
He accused critics of not understanding the pharmaceutical industry.
But he has now told ABC News: "We've agreed to lower the price on Daraprim to a point that is more affordable and is able to allow the company to make a profit, but a very small profit."
Earlier in the day, PhRMA, the pharmaceutical industry's main lobbying group, tweeted that Turing "does not represent the values of PhRMA member companies".
Agreeing a price for any drug is a tricky business.
In the UK, the National Health Service is the main buyer and prices are set through a voluntary scheme between manufacturers and the government, trying to strike the right balance of serving patients and generating money to keep the drug pipeline going. Profits are capped to stop prices creeping too high.
In the US, the buyers are private insurance companies as well as the government through the Medicare and Medicaid system. It's a market and prices can go up and down, depending on what people are willing to pay.
In recent years, pharmaceutical research and development has slowed and companies have to think carefully about what they invest in. Blockbusters such as Viagra pull in money, but orphan drugs for rare diseases can be less attractive. Not many patients use them, and so turning a profit may be difficult.

Agent Tony McGill, from Sunderland, claimed he was cut out of a 2007 £1m deal which saw Gavin McCann move from Aston Villa to Bolton Wanderers.
No evidence was offered against Bolton, its chairman Phil Gartside, Mr Lee, Mr McCann and several others.
As a technicality, "not guilty" pleas were entered at Newcastle Crown Court.
The agent started a private prosecution against the parties following a legal battle over his claims he was cut out of McCann's transfer.
The Crown Prosecution Service later took over the case.
At the hearing, Judge Tim Gittins told the defendants: "That brings the matter to an end."
The issue of costs for all sides has yet to be decided.
Those cleared are:
The quarterly rate of growth was 1.2%, the slowest since December 2014.
The pace of growth is still many times above general inflation, but one senior economist has warned of a "serious risk of an extended and marked downturn" following the Brexit vote.
The figures from the Halifax cover the period before the referendum result.
The annual rate is down from 9.2% in May.
"House prices continue to increase, albeit at a slower rate, but this precedes the EU referendum result, therefore it is far too early to determine any impact since," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist.
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said there was likely to be a major impact on house prices in the months ahead: "Despite the Halifax reporting a marked rise in house prices in June itself, we believe that the prospects for the housing market have deteriorated markedly following the Brexit vote.
"Housing market activity and prices now look to be at very serious risk of an extended, marked downturn following the UK's vote to leave the EU."
In the meantime the Halifax said the average price of a house has risen to another record high, at £216,823.
An analysis by a firm of estate agents suggests that few buyers have backed out of house purchases since the referendum result.
Jackson-Stops and Staff looked at 750,000 properties for sale in the UK on Friday 24 June.
It found that 41% of homes on the market were already under offer.
A similar analysis on 6 July found that 39.9% were under offer - virtually the same proportion.
In addition, the number of properties for sale has increased by 21,000 since 24 June.

Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds has been named shadow solicitor-general while Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan is appointed shadow arts minister.
Both said it was time to hold the UK government to account.
Last week, Nia Griffith returned to the front bench as shadow defence secretary while Jo Stevens was named shadow Welsh secretary.
Mr Corbyn had been forced to replace most of his front bench team following mass resignations and a vote of no confidence in his leadership by MPs.
But some of Mr Corbyn's critics have returned to the shadow cabinet since he was re-elected leader in September, defeating a challenge from Pontypridd MP Owen Smith.
Llanelli MP Ms Griffith had been shadow Welsh secretary, while Mr Thomas-Symonds and Mr Brennan were junior spokesmen on employment and business respectively.
Mr Thomas-Symonds said on Twitter he would be "exposing the Tories' failure on access to justice", condemning the party for an "appalling" record on legal aid cuts and tribunal fees.
Mr Brennan, also on Twitter, said he was "Pleased to join Labour DCMS team as shadow minister for arts and Heritage and deputy to shadow secretary of state - time to hold (government) to account".
Mr Smith, who quit as shadow work and pensions secretary before mounting his leadership challenge, has called for party unity but has said he would not return to the front bench.
Newport West MP Paul Flynn has returned to the backbenches having served as both shadow leader of the Commons and shadow Welsh secretary over the summer.
Writing on his blog, he said it had been a "worthwhile and thoroughly enjoyable" experience.
Meanwhile Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris has kept her post as a junior Home Office spokesperson.
Joshua Bradley, 19, was fatally injured in Thurland Street, Nottingham, at 04:00 GMT on 8 February.
The two men are due before magistrates' later. Three others were also been charged on Wednesday with assisting an offender.
A total of nine people have now been charged in connection with Mr Bradley's death.
Richard Johnson, 24, of Belton Street, Hyson Green, was charged with murder in February.
Zaiem Zulqurnain, 19, of Newlyn Drive in Aspley, Nottingham and Muhamad Adnan, 22, of Middleton Boulevard, Nottingham are also accused of murder.
Last month, three men were also charged with violent disorder in connection with the brawl.
Three others, Zobain Zulqurnain, 29, and Farra Zulqurnain 27, both of Newlyn Drive, Aspley, Nottingham and Seerat Zulqurnain 28, of Princess Close in Gedling, Nottingham have been charged with assisting an offender.
It is alleged they helped their relative, Zaiem Zulqurnain, leave the country following the incident.
Two other men, aged 19 and 21, questioned on suspicion of murder have been released without charge.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the "radical" move would ensure every penny of the health budget was spent wisely.
A "procurement tsar" will produce the list - made up of prices negotiated and set between the NHS and suppliers.
But Labour said the government's overhaul of the NHS had wasted millions and these plans would not change that.
The new central procurement list will mean that hundreds of everyday hospital supplies will be bought in bulk to help harness the "buying power" of the health service.
The government has committed to making savings of £1.5bn to £2bn on procurement by the end of 2015/16.
The Department of Health said it expects this NHS core list to make up £500m - roughly a third - of these overall savings.
Hospitals currently negotiate prices for supplies individually and as a result cannot always secure the best prices for products, it said.
It claimed the new core procurement list would "drive out variation and secure better prices with our suppliers".
The NHS will centrally negotiate with suppliers, using its scale to "drive a harder bargain" and trusts will then shop for what they need from the list.
The health secretary told BBC 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics show that improving procurement could significantly cut spending.
He used spending on sterile surgical gloves as an example, saying hospitals could save up to 38% on the price they paid for the product if they switched from the market leader to an alternative supplier.
"The reason that we're being even more radical in what we're announcing today is because there is concern within the ageing population as to whether the NHS is going to be financially viable going forward," Mr Hunt said.
"And before we go back to the British people with any request for extra money from taxes or any other sources of finance, I think we have to be confident that we are spending every penny of the £100bn NHS budget wisely."
He also insisted that the reorganisation of the NHS since the coalition took office was achieving savings of £1bn every year.
He said while the process of shaking up the health service may not have been perfect, the principle behind the reforms had been right.
"We removed 20,000 administrative jobs in the old primary care trusts and strategic health authorities, and we're using that to pay for 7,500 more doctors," the health secretary said.
"So we've been taking lots of measures right from the start of the Parliament in order to get more money out of the frontline."
But shadow health minister Jamie Reed said Prime Minister David Cameron's £3bn reorganisation had fragmented the NHS and it had "lost the power to bulk-buy".
"As a result, hospitals are wasting millions that should be spent on patient care," Mr Reed said.
"These plans will not reverse that."
The hosts had led at half-time through Joe Greenwood, Matty Dawson and Jordan Turner tries, but failed to score after the break and the visitors capitalised.
Danny Houghton and Curtis Naughton crossed for Hull before the break and they levelled through Kirk Yeaman after 58 minutes.
And Sneyd's 40-metre kick inflicted a second straight home defeat on Saints.
St Helens's Theo Fages had missed a drop-goal attempt moments before Sneyd's dramatic winner at the other end.
The hosts, who were without injured winger Tommy Makinson following a potentially season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, now lie sixth in the table.
Defeat leaves them two points behind Hull, who are themselves now four points off top spot, in fourth.
St Helens: McDonnell; Owens, Peyroux, Turner, Dawson; Fages, Walsh; Walmsley, Roby, Savelio, Greenwood, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wilkin.
Replacements: Burns, Amor, Richards, Thompson.

The figure and the words "funded by the UK taxpayer" will be added to all packs costing more than £20 in England.
It is part of efforts to reduce the £300m bill for "wasted" medication, which is prescribed but not used.
The health secretary said there was no such thing as a free health service and this would reduce waste by reminding people of the cost of medicine.
Jeremy Hunt added: "Everything we are proud of in the NHS is funded by taxpayers, and every penny we waste costs patients more through higher taxes or reduced services."
Neal Patel, from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: "We know that around 30 to 50% of patients don't use their medicines as intended and there is around £150 million of avoidable medicines waste.
"Although knowledge of the cost of medicines may play a part its equally important we focus on factors such as peoples understanding of the side effects and benefits from medicines, which will also influence whether a condition is treated effectively or the medicine ends up in the bin."
NHS Confederation chief executive Rob Webster said: "It is important for the public to be better informed about how money is spent in the NHS.
"We will be interested in seeing more detail about how the labelling policy will be implemented."

The alliance will enforce "all aspects" of the UN resolution authorising action to protect civilians. "Nothing more, nothing less," Mr Rasmussen added.
Libyan rebels have been advancing westwards, capturing towns abandoned by Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces.
Explosions were also heard in Sirte and the capital, Tripoli, on Sunday night.
It is not clear what the causes of the blasts were, though state TV said the cities were being bombed by "Crusader and colonialist" forces. A government spokesman also said the town of Sabha had been targeted.
Sirte, the Libyan leader's stronghold, is only 100km (60 miles) west of the town of Nufaila, which rebel forces said they had reached. Foreign journalists said the city was swarming with soldiers on patrol.
The rebels earlier retook the eastern coastal towns of Ras Lanuf, Brega, Uqayla and Bin Jawad, only a day after seizing control of Ajdabiya.
Nato's plan to take responsibility for operations in Libya had already been agreed by military representatives of the 28 member states, but it needed ambassadors to provide political approval at a meeting in Brussels.
In a communique hailing the "very significant step", Mr Rasmussen said that in the past week the alliance had "put together a complete package of operations in support of the United Nations resolution by sea and by air".
"We are already enforcing the arms embargo and the no-fly zone, and with today's decision we are going beyond. We will be acting in close co-ordination with our international and regional partners to protect the people of Libya."
Mr Rasmussen said Nato's goal was to "protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack from the Gaddafi regime".
"Nato will implement all aspects of the UN Resolution. Nothing more, nothing less," he added.
Nato's top operational commander, Gen Charles Bouchard of Canada, would "begin executing this operation with immediate effect", he concluded.
The BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels says the mission to protect civilians was more sensitive because it involved debate about what exactly are legitimate military targets on the ground.
There were disagreements notably between France and Turkey about political control of the mission, but they have now been resolved, our correspondent says.
But the precise rules of engagement have not been revealed, he adds.
Alongside the Nato command structure will be a separate, high-level committee of representatives of all countries taking part in the military action, including Arab states. It will give what one official called "broad political guidance."
While Nato ambassadors discussed the international military operation, rebel forces in eastern Libya took advantage of the devastating effect of the air and missile strikes on Col Gaddafi's forces to advance westwards.
"Gaddafi's forces are now scared rats," Mohammed Ali al-Atwish, a rebel fighter in Bin Jawad, told the AFP news agency.
By Ian Pannell,BBC News, Benghazi
In the last 24 hours, the rebels have pushed hundreds of kilometres to the west. The next big city in their path is Sirte. It is Col Gaddafi's hometown and one of the very few places untouched by the spirit of rebellion.
So here is the dilemma: if the rebels do manage to get that far and the people of Sirte do not rise up, either because they are loyal to Gaddafi or too afraid to act, what do the allies do? If civilians are not being threatened, they arguably have no mandate for action and that would stall the rebels advance and leave them exposed and vulnerable to attack and that could mean an open-ended engagement for the coalition.
If the coalition launches attacks anyway to weaken Col Gaddafi's forces, that will convince many that this really is about regime-change and that could create splits within the alliance. The rebel advance may be quietly cheered in London, Paris and Washington, but it also potentially brings a host of problems for the coalition.
"They are dropping their weapons and uniforms and dressing as civilians. We are no longer concerned about Gaddafi's forces at all."
The BBC's Ben Brown in Ras Lanuf says the rebels are in a state of high excitement, and can hardly believe the progress they have made.
They claim that they could be in Sirte by Monday, but the further they advance towards Tripoli, the greater the fight the regime is likely to put up, our correspondent says.
In interviews with US media on Sunday morning, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates that Col Gaddafi's "ability to move armour, to move toward Benghazi or a place like that, has pretty well been eliminated".
"Now we'll have to keep our eye on it, because he still has ground forces at his beck and call. But the reality is that they are under a lot of pressure."
Mr Gates also said there was a political push to ease the Libyan leader from power, and that it was possible that more of his associates would defect.
"We have things in our tool box in addition to hammers... one should not underestimate the possibility of the regime itself cracking."
Libyan officials say the strikes have killed nearly 100 civilians but this cannot be independently confirmed.
Late on Sunday, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said three young Libyan men had been killed in an air strike on a fishing harbour near Sirte. There was "nothing military or quasi-military" there, he said.
Mr Ibrahim also told reporters that a "peace convoy", which had been heading from Sirte towards Ajdabiya and Benghazi, was attacked by rebels near Bin Jawad. About 29 people were injured in the "very cowardly act, witnessed by thousands of people," he said.
Finally, he said a woman who stormed into a hotel in Tripoli on Saturday to tell journalists that government troops had raped her, Iman al-Obaidi, was now with her family. Four men, including the son of a high-ranking police officer, had been questioned about her allegations, he added.
Meanwhile, Col Gaddafi's troops have continued their bombardment of Misrata, the only significant rebel-held city left in the west.
On Sunday evening, a resident told the BBC that eight people had been killed and 26 wounded - five of them critically - as Col Gaddafi's forces advanced on the al-Jazeera residential area in the west of the city.
"They used mortars and heavy anti-aircraft guns," he said. "The injuries are mainly from the explosions, I am talking about severed limbs and big injuries in the trunk area. There are also crush injuries due to the collapse of buildings."
A rebel spokesman told the BBC that fighting was continuing for control of the main road through the city.
Libyan state TV earlier said Misrata was "secure" and life was "going back to normal". Security forces had arrested "terrorist gangs", it said.
Meanwhile, the Benghazi-based Transitional National Council said the rebels could begin exporting oil in less than a week.
Spokesman Ali Tarhouni said oil fields in territory under opposition control were already producing more than 100,000 barrels of crude a day.
He said the Gulf state of Qatar had agreed to help bring it to market.

Mr Clegg stood down as Lib Dem leader after the party lost 49 out of its 57 MPs at the 2015 general election.
He said he wanted to ensure ministers were "subject to the scrutiny and accountability which voters deserve" following the vote to leave the EU.
The ex-MEP said there was "no exit plan from the government" or "meaningful opposition" from Labour.
Mr Clegg, who campaigned alongside leading figures for Remain before the referendum, said: "Theresa May says Brexit means Brexit, but no one actually knows what that means.
"Will we be in the single market or cut off from it, with all the implications that has for British jobs and our economy?
"What does it mean for immigration? What about the Brits who live abroad and the Europeans who have made our country their home? How will we co-operate with our neighbours to tackle terrorism, cross-border crime and climate change?"
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said "no one is better placed" than his predecessor to challenge the government over Brexit as the Sheffield Hallam MP was in the cabinet with some of the key players in the current government during the coalition years.

Rossington and Crook took Northants from 124-5 to 223-6, trailing by just 78 runs, but when the former was clean bowled by Paul Coughlin (3-53) the opportunity for victory was gone as the visitors reached 272-8 in their allocated overs.
Durham's second successive victory moved up to fourth in the North Group, despite starting the season with a points deduction, while Northants are seventh with one win.
All three were operating in Kenya but are now based in Somalia, the police report said.

The Kenyan police report, "Tracing the disappearing Kenyan youth", named the three key recruiters as:
It said most of their recruits went to Somalia for training and came back to take part in attacks in Kenya.
Recently, Islamic State had also become an "attractive group" to "vulnerable Kenyans", the report said.
More on al-Shabab in Kenya:
Some Muslim clerics especially in the port city of Mombasa have been accused of having links with al-Shabab.

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

Fire crews from Dingwall, Beauly and Inverness, along with ambulance crews and police, were sent to the scenes of the accidents.
Two women trapped in the wreckage of two cars were freed by firefighters.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Thankfully no-one involved in the incidents was seriously injured."

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

But what do they actually do?

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

The victim was found with stab wounds to the neck and stomach injuries at 17:15 BST on Thursday in Moss Side, Manchester.
He underwent surgery in hospital but died on Saturday, Greater Manchester Police said.
A 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Police believe the victim was chased near to Greenheys Lane in Moss Side by a group of men.
A short time later, he was hit by a blue Vauxhall Corsa on Moss Lane East, before being stabbed.
The car was later recovered on a small road in Whalley Range, police said.
Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said an investigation was ongoing and appealed for witnesses to the attack.
Over the course of the campaign the gap between the main two parties narrowed but, with one exception, the final polls all suggested a clearer Conservative lead than the actual outcome.
Having said that, it wasn't an unmitigated disaster. Every poll throughout the campaign put the Conservatives ahead - and that was indeed the result.
The final polls were fairly accurate about the Conservative and Lib Dem shares. It was Labour where they were uniformly wrong. They also overestimated UKIP and the SNP.
Survation were closest to the actual result. Kantar Public's numbers were also reasonably good.
YouGov's final poll, like most of the others, seriously underestimated Labour. Prior to that, they had been suggesting a closer race. They also had a separate seat projection model which had been indicating a hung parliament. That had been met with a lot of scepticism but, with hindsight, was pretty accurate.
In the final weeks of the campaign, the polls were often criticised for being "all over the place". It's true that they were pointing to very different outcomes.
That variation clearly made it difficult to interpret what they were saying. It's surely better, though, that they had different numbers than that they were all wrong in exactly the same way. If you're looking for consistent accuracy then opinion polls are probably not for you.
Pollsters are also sometimes accused of herding - deliberately manipulating their figures so they all say the same thing. That accusation can't be levelled at this election.
In 2015 the polls went wrong because their samples were not representative of the electorate - they contained too many Labour voters. They also failed to estimate the difference in turnout rates between different age groups - they overestimated turnout among young voters.
The pollsters who were furthest from the actual result this time were those, like ICM and ComRes, who had taken the strongest measures to try to rectify the problem from 2015. Survation made no significant changes to their methodology and came out on top.
It looks as though the errors this time were caused, at least in part, by fighting the last war.
We'll never know the exact figures for turnout among young voters - it's a secret ballot remember - but YouGov's post-election estimate puts it at 57% for 18-19 year olds and 59% for 20-24 year olds.
That's lower than for older voters but considerably higher than estimates for young voters in 2015.
We can also see that the places where the number of voters increased the most were generally those with young populations. The assumption made by some pollsters that young turnout would continue to under-perform was probably wrong.
Scotland face Slovakia on Tuesday having slipped up in a 1-1 draw at home to Lithuania in World Cup qualifying.
"He has been rude, he's been cantankerous and I just feel he doesn't want to be there any more and he is showing that in every interview," Sutton said of Strachan on BBC 5 live.
"That's his body language and I think he wants out."
Scotland were booed off at Hampden Park on Saturday and Sutton thinks that Strachan's responses to the media are turning the fans - and players - against him.
"I think his comments in the summer were appalling," said the 43-year-old who earned one cap for England.
"He said that Scotland were a nation of scared footballers and I think of the impact that would have had on the players at that time - they would have been totally disgruntled by that.
"I think he's losing credibility with the fans. I don't agree that a lot of fans are still on his side.
"Gordon Strachan said Scotland don't have big stars like Gareth Bale and then the Scottish fans see Iceland, they see Northern Ireland, they see Wales and their performance and think we want a piece of that."
Sutton also questioned the choice of Fulham's Chris Martin for the lone striker role.
"Here's the biggest problem - that Gordon Strachan the other night played Chris Martin, a centre forward who hasn't scored in 20 club games," he said.
"And you have Steven Fletcher, who has actually started scoring again for Sheffield Wednesday, you have Leigh Griffiths who has scored barrel load of goals and who Gordon, for whatever reason, doesn't rate and nobody in Scotland other than Gordon understands that."
Former Scotland defender Steven Pressley, who scouted Slovakia for Strachan in their game against Slovenia on Saturday, issued a strong defence of the current team boss.
"Do you not think that Gordon analyses the opposition, considers many permutations and comes up for a reason for playing certain players in certain games?" he told BBC Scotland.
"I was not party to the decision ahead of the Lithuania game, but I can understand his reason for playing Martin.
"Lithuania are a team that deny the space to the opposition behind them, meaning that Scotland would be looking to have a link player in the team and that would have been Gordon's reason I imagine."
Pressley, who is confident that Scotland can get a good result in Slovakia, also stressed that changing the manager again is not the answer.
"We have to look at the bigger picture," he said. "When was the last time our under-21s, for example, qualified for a major event? It was something like 25 years ago.
"So the reality is we are not bringing through the players we had before.
"It is like groundhog day. Two or three years down the line, we want another manager. The reality is that that is not the fix.
"There surely comes a point when it runs deeper than just the manager.
"We have to make radical changes to the way our young players are developed and, until we do that, nothing is going to change.
"It is groundhog day. We change the manager and nothing changes."
In a statement issued after a closed-door summit, they promised the free market would play a bigger role.
A new committee will oversee internal security to guard against social unrest, and farmers will be given more property rights over their land.
A BBC correspondent says the leaders will now have to persuade officials below them to implement the reforms.
The so-called Third Plenum talks began in Beijing on Friday, and ended with a brief communique outlining areas that had been agreed on.
The BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says the reforms could carry enormous importance - a more complete list of changes to the economy and the social sector is expected to be released in the coming days, or even weeks.
Details of what was agreed are still emerging.
The Communist Party leaders said markets would be allowed to play a leading role. State ownership would remain a pillar of the economy.
"The core issue is to straighten out the relationship between government and the market, allowing the market to play a decisive role in allocating resources and improving the government's role," the statement said, Reuters news agency reports.
Our correspondent says the party is vowing to carry out deep reforms across the economy and the government to reach a "new stage of development".
A lengthy television story heading China's flagship state newscast showed rows of Communist Party officials, including Chairman Xi Jinping, sitting at long tables studying paper documents in front of them.
The report contained a long list of vague party pledges - from a plan to create a modern military to one that encourages foreign investment in China's coastal cities, our correspondent adds. Other changes include promises to institute stronger systems to check corruption.
Ahead of the meeting another area expected to be discussed was China's household registration system.
The meeting was being closely watched after senior Communist Party official Yu Zhengsheng said last month that "unprecedented" economic and social reforms would be discussed at the meeting.
Q&A: China's Third Plenum
Third Plenum: Key issues
Analysts did not expect any political reforms to be on the agenda.
How successful the reforms turn out to be remains to be seen.
It will take time to assess their impact.
And where economic or social reforms are agreed, local officials and groups with vested interests may be reluctant to implement them, correspondents say.
Third Plenums refer to the third time new leaders of China lead a plenary session of the Central Committee. They generally take place a year after new leaders take office, after they have established their power base.
Previous Third Plenums have had a major impact on China's development.
At the Third Plenum in 1978, former leader Deng Xiaoping announced the opening-up of China's economy, spearheading major market-oriented reforms.
In 1993's Third Plenum, former leader Zhu Rongji announced the "socialist market economy" and dismantled a large part of China's state-owned sector.
Security was tight in Beijing for the meeting, with tensions higher than usual in the wake of an incident on 28 October in Tiananmen Square and bomb blasts in the north of the country days after.
Five people were killed in what Chinese officials called a "terrorist attack" incited by extremists from the western region of Xinjiang when a car drove through crowds and burst into flames near an entrance to the Forbidden City.
Less than a week later, a series of small blasts killed at least one person outside a provincial office of the ruling Communist Party in Shanxi province.
The life-sized models of Mary and Joseph in a stable caught fire outside Shirley Warren Action Church.
Firefighters were called at about 20:00 GMT on Saturday after the blaze was spotted from a nearby house.
The Reverend Jenny Elliot said the scene had taken about 70 hours to build and her congregation would be "very disappointed" by its destruction.
But she added that she and another church staff member would stand in as live models for a Christingle service due to be held later.
The Rev Elliott said: "I feel very sad about it, but we are determined that the show still goes on."
She said the scene had been outside the church for about three weeks and it had created "a lot of interest" in the area.
A few days earlier a new sign located outside the church that cost about £100 had also been destroyed, the Rev Elliot said.
She said the fire had caused damage estimated at about £400 and she had reported it to Hampshire Police.
Mr Manziel is accused of hitting and threatening to kill Colleen Crowley during a night out in January.
The former Cleveland Browns quarterback is expected to plead not guilty. If convicted he faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 (£2,750) fine.
The Browns dropped him from the team after poor play on the field and bad headlines off.
Despite success playing football as a university student, Mr Manziel - nicknamed "Johnny Football" - has struggled with substance abuse and has had a spell in a rehabilitation centre.
An indictment accuses him of striking Ms Crowley and "forcing [her] into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard".
She accused her former partner of hitting her so hard she lost her hearing, according to the indictment.
The National Football League (NFL) has toughened its policies on domestic violence after criticism that another player, Ray Rice, received only a two-game ban for assaulting his then-fiance.
The move could complicate any effort by Mr Manziel to return to the game.
The 46-year-old, the first local coach in six years to take charge of the Leone Stars, was unveiled in Freetown on Thursday.
Keister will also continue in his current job as coach of local premier league club FC Johansen, owned by Sierra Leone FA president, Isha Johansen.
His main task is to qualify the Leone Stars for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Keister has served as Leone Stars assistant coach to three foreign managers - Ghanaian Sellas Tetteh, Swede Lars Olof Matsson and Northern Irishman Johnny Mckinstry.
"Working under three foreign coaches has given me the experience and knowledge to be in this position," Keister told the BBC on Thursday.
"My appointment is a dream come true. We have a massive task to qualify for the Afcon finals."
Johansen congratulated Keister but warned him that the aspirations of seven million Sierra Leoneans lie on his shoulders.
Keister had previously served as head coach of the Leone Stars home based team as well as the Sierra Leone under-17 and under-23 national teams.
The former Leone Stars midfielder was born in Manchester and played for several lower league clubs in England, including Walsall, Chester City, Shrewsbury Town and Stevenage Borough.
He was capped 16 times by Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2003.
The striker became Liverpool's youngest scorer at 17 years and 45 days in their 2-0 win over Leeds United on Tuesday.
Ex-Wales defender Andy Legg says they must cap Woodburn "as soon as possible".
"You've got to jump in there whether you're Chris Coleman or you're Southgate," said Evans.
"You've got to jump on these players when they become available and you think they're going to be good enough.
"So it'll be a little war between the two countries, I think, over this young lad because he is full of talent."
Woodburn's goal helped Liverpool reach the EFL Cup semi-finals on Tuesday.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp hopes to protect the 17-year-old from media hype.
Legg, who played for Cardiff City and Swansea, said Wales fans would "love to see him now get a Welsh shirt on".
Woodburn made his senior debut for the Reds in Saturday's Premier League win over Sunderland.
Three days later, he broke Michael Owen's Liverpool scoring record by 98 days, as the former England striker watched at Anfield.

Woodburn, then 16, scored in an impressive display during a pre-season win over Wigan.
He has played for Wales at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level and although still eligible to play for England, Woodburn has said he wants to "replicate" the feats of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.
That is a point Legg emphasised, telling BBC Radio Wales: "He could probably see a pathway and is thinking 'hang on a minute, I could be a part of the Aaron Ramseys, the Gareth Bales who came through from years ago'.
"And he could be the next generation as a superstar.
"So he may think that Wales is his best option anyway, and as a youngster he's got to be guided and we just need to get an arm around him and make sure we guide him the right way."
Wales manager Chris Coleman's next chance to cap the Chester-born player is on 24 March, when Wales travel to Dublin to face the Republic of Ireland in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.
England play a friendly against Germany two days earlier.
The cancer hospital in Withington has been rated as "outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission.
It is the largest single-site cancer centre in Europe and treats more than 44,000 patients per year.
Chief executive Roger Spencer paid tribute to the "dedicated, expert staff" and "outstanding research".
The health watchdog commended the "friendly and open culture" and investment in "the latest technology" following its inspection in May.
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is "helping to shape the future of cancer care", chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said.
"Our inspectors were struck by the commitment to excellence that filters through every area of the trust."
The report said the surgical division "demonstrated a robust approach" offering "bespoke" treatments, which "improved survival rates" and "quality of life".
Mr Spencer said he was "delighted and very proud", adding "it is the culture of The Christie to relentlessly pursue innovations".
The Christie is the third specialist hospital trust in the country to receive the CQC's highest rating alongside The Walton Centre in Liverpool and Liverpool's Heart and Chest Hospital.
Recurrent attacks up to 3 November flooded the cable link with data, making net access intermittent.
Researchers said the attacks showed hackers trying different ways to use massive networks of hijacked machines to overwhelm high-value targets.
Experts said Liberia was attacked by the same group that caused web-wide disruption on 21 October.
Those attacks were among the biggest ever seen and made it hard to reach big web firms such as Twitter, Spotify and Reddit.
The attacks were the first to send overwhelming amounts of data from weakly protected devices, such as webcams and digital video recorders, that had been enrolled into what is known as a botnet.
A botnet variant called Mirai was identified by security firms as being the tool used to find and compromise the insecure devices.
The source code for Mirai has been widely shared and many malicious hacker groups have used it to seek out vulnerable devices they can take over and use to mount what are known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
"There're multiple different botnets, each with a different owner," security researcher Kevin Beaumont told the BBC. "Many are very low-skilled. Some are much better."
'This feels serious' - BBC Africa's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Liberia
For more than two weeks, my internet has not been working properly. At first I thought it was a problem with my internet provider, which often suffers from slow speeds. But this feels more serious.
Even when you do get online, the connection repeatedly cuts out. I've spent the past week trying to upload some photos and audio to send to London, without success.
A woman who runs a computer club for young people in the capital, Monrovia, tells me that they have been having trouble getting on to Facebook and that their connection has slowed in recent weeks.
The hotel I am staying at in the north-eastern town of Ganta is right next to the network tower of a company that provides my internet service, but the connection is still coming in and out.
The hackers behind the "huge" network that attacked Liberia, dubbed botnet#14, were "much more skilled", Mr Beaumont said.
"The attacks are extremely worrying because they suggest a Mirai operator who has enough capacity to seriously impact systems in a nation state," he wrote in a blogpost.
Network firm Level 3 confirmed to tech news site ZDNet that it had seen attacks on telecoms firms in Liberia making access to the web spotty. Other reports suggested mobile net access was affected too.
The attacks varied in length with some lasting only 30 seconds and the longest being sustained for a few minutes. At times the amount of data being funnelled towards Liberia exceeded 600 gigabits per second.
Net access in Liberia comes via an undersea cable whose capacity is shared with many other nations in West Africa.
"They're trying a number of different techniques for short bursts, against the companies who own the submarine cable to Liberia," said Mr Beaumont, adding that commands to botnet#14 seemed to originate in the Ukraine.
Mr Beaumont said the controllers of botnet#14 were refining their control of the attack system but it was not yet clear who it would be turned against next.
A Twitter account, called #Miraiattacks has been set up by a security company to monitor the many different attack targets hit by Mirai botnets. Earlier targets included computer security firms, schools, food-ordering services and gaming sites.
Jacob Miller claimed a hat-trick, while skipper Danny Kirmond and prop Nick Scruton got two each as Wigan suffered their worst defeat in 11 years.
Wingers Tom Johnstone and Ben Jones-Bishop and full-back Max Jowitt all crossed too as Trinity scored 11 tries.
Scrum-half Liam Finn also grabbed a second-half try to supplement his nine conversions for a 22-point haul.
After a week in which a virus has affected a number of players, second-placed Wigan were also without injured captain Sean O'Loughlin, as well as most of their big hitters.
Michael McIlorum is out for the season with a broken ankle, John Bateman did not make his expected return following concussion, Liam Farrell was suspended, Dom Manfredi and Dom Crosby were also missing and Sam Tomkins is yet to reappear since his winter return from New Zealand.
Wigan handed debuts to Jack Wells and Joe Bretherton and had two other youngsters, Jack Higginson and Nick Gregson, making only their second full Super League appearances, and the inexperience showed.
It was Wigan's heaviest Super League loss since going down 70-0 to Leeds in June 2005, eight days before the club's all-time heaviest defeat, 75-0 to St Helens in the Challenge Cup.
The Wildcats' 11-try romp comfortably surpassed their previous best Super League win over the Warriors, a 40-14 success in April 2006.
After being bottom of the table when Wakefield coach Chris Chester took over last month, their winning run has coincided with the return of skipper Kirmond, who came into his own with two tries in six second-half minutes.
Wakefield were simply irresistible as they showed no mercy to a Wigan side lacking a total of 10 front-line players - and even had two early tries disallowed, for loose forward Michael Sio and Jowitt, who lost the ball over the line in being tackled by Joel Tomkins.
Victory came almost 12 months to the day since they themselves suffered a humiliating defeat, 80-0 at Warrington - and they left the field to a standing ovation from the jubilant Belle Vue faithful.
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"I thought it was going to be hell of a lot closer. I know they've been struggling with injuries and they've had a bug go through the camp but I certainly wasn't expecting that scoreline.
"It just shows what a little bit of belief does to a group of players. From 1 to 17, they were outstanding. What pleased me was what they did without the ball.
"We scored some really fancy tries but to keep a Wigan side to zero points takes a special effort. That's probably the best team performance there's been in a long time in Super League.
"What we did was exceptional and I'm proud of everybody involved. They are starting to believe in themselves a bit more. It's been a good few weeks. But we need to make sure we're grounded."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"I'm not stressed one little bit. I know what we have and where we're at. I loved the fact that so many Wigan fans stayed behind to clap the players because I'm sure they know the situation we're in.
"I don't want to take anything away from Wakefield. Let them enjoy their day and, if they want to book their coaches to London, let them book them.
"Wakefield were very good. But I know what we've got in the club and how we can play so that result doesn't stress me in the slightest. Don't confuse that with the games at Catalans and Castleford, where we went with strong teams.
"We made it hard for ourselves by giving them too many sets. A combination of us being really lethargic, tired and lacking energy gave them good field position."
Wakefield: Jowitt; Johnstone, Lyne, Arundel, Jones-Bishop; Miller, Finn; Scruton, Moore, England, A Tupou, Kirmond, Sio.
Replacements: Simon, Arona, Ashurst, Molloy.
Wigan: Sarginson; Tierney, Higginson, Gildart, Charnley; Gregson, Smith; Clubb, Powell, Mossop, J Tomkins, Isa, Sutton.
Replacements: Tautai, Burke, Bretherton, Wells.

Susan O'Brien's remit will include allegations of abuse in institutions, foster care, long-term hospital care and boarding schools.
Education Secretary Angel Constance said the inquiry would have powers to force witnesses to give evidence.
She had previously said abusers would "face the full force of the law".
The minister also confirmed the Scottish government intends to lift the three-year time bar on civil actions.
This will include compensation claims for damages in cases of historical abuse that took place after 1964.
New funding of £14.5m for support services was also announced to the Scottish Parliament, in a move designed to ensure survivors have access to the services they need now.
The education secretary said: "For the purposes of the inquiry the term 'in care' will carry a broader interpretation beyond those formally placed in care by the state.
"It will include allegations of abuse affecting boarded out children, child migrant schemes and school hostels and health care establishments providing long term care for children.
"Furthermore, I have also decided that independent boarding schools must be included.
"While parents were responsible for the residential placement of children in these institutions, I am of the view the state also had a responsibility to ensure a standard of care."
Ms O'Brien previously chaired a panel which investigated the death of 11-week-old baby Caleb Ness in Edinburgh.
It produced a 2003 report resulting in the reorganisation of Edinburgh's social work department.
The QC has been an employment judge for 15 years and is currently a governor of Heriot-Watt University.
Ms O'Brien said: "I appreciate that no one can provide full justice for any victim of abuse in childhood, but the Scottish government is anxious to enable victims to tell us what happened to them and the impact it had on their lives.
"The inquiry panel will try to identify any lessons from past failures which will help to keep our children safe in the future."
The original announcement of the inquiry being set up last December came 10 years after former First Minister Jack McConnell offered an apology to victims of abuse in children's homes, but at the time stopped short of agreeing to a full public inquiry.
Scottish Labour's education and lifelong learning spokesman Iain Gray said the announcement was "great progress indeed, but it has taken a long time".
He added: "Central to the survivors' confidence is the chair of the inquiry, as we have seen all too clearly in England. So we must ensure urgently that Susan O'Brien enjoys the confidence of survivors.
"Importantly, it must be clear that survivors will receive the support - psychological, legal and financial - that they need to ensure justice is served."
Alison Todd, chief executive of the charity Children 1st, said: "This is about listening to people who were failed as children, acknowledging what happened to them and learning from the past to make things better for children in the future."
Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham, of Police Scotland, said: "Our investigations will always be victim-focused and I would again encourage anyone who may have been a victim, regardless of when that was, to come forward safe in the knowledge that they will be taken seriously and will always be dealt with sensitively."
Invincible-class HMS Illustrious has been decommissioned at a service at Portsmouth Naval Base after 32 years.
Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of Princess Margaret who launched HMS Illustrious in 1978, was at the event with hundreds of veterans.
The ship will be sold but the buyer must keep HMS Illustrious in the UK.
Dr Duncan Redford, senior research fellow in modern naval history at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, said it would be interesting to see where it ends up.
He said: "The ministers in government have made it clear that they would like to see a heritage option... in the disposal plans.
"Illustrious is a big ship - there are going to be a limited number of ports and cities that will have the infrastructure that will be able to support her."
The 22,000-tonne ship will eventually be replaced by HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, the final two construction projects undertaken by BAE Systems in Portsmouth.
Its White Ensign was lowered for the final time during the ceremony in front of hundreds of guests.
Captain Mike Utley, the ship's commanding officer, said: "We say goodbye to Illustrious with sadness and pride as we remember her outstanding history but also excitement as the Royal Navy looks to the future and HMS Queen Elizabeth."
The ship has sailed 900,000 miles on operations across the globe, including the aftermath of the Falklands War, helping maintain a no-fly zone in Bosnia in the 1990s and doing the same in the Arabian Gulf in 1998.
It also helped with the aid mission in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan.
Next week sees the publication of the very first monthly Official Progressive Albums Chart Top 30.
It will feature classic prog bands such as Pink Floyd, but the top slot goes to 21st Century rock act Tame Impala.
"We felt it was an oversight not to have done this a long time ago," said OCC boss Martin Talbot.
"Progressive music is as alive and kicking as it's ever been. It's more a state of mind than a genre."
The announcement of the chart coincides with the annual Progressive Music Awards, at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London on Thursday night.
Among those being honoured is founder member of Genesis Tony Banks, who will receive the 2015 Prog God Award.
Rick Wakeman, who received the same accolade in 2012, told the BBC that a chart dedicated to the progressive genre was long overdue.
"It's only 45 years too late, but better late than never," said the former Yes keyboardist.
"Prog rock is the healthiest it's ever been... the standard of musicianship of young bands is overall way higher than the standard was back in the 1970s."
The first official progressive album chart, to be published in Prog Magazine next week, features Tame Impala's album Currents at number one, ahead of Muse's Drones.

"It shows that wonderful wide spectrum that prog rock has got," said Wakeman.
"It's no longer something to be sneered at and looked down on. With so many bands taking bits and pieces from it its widely accepted as a genuine contributor to the modern music scene."
Prog rock, which grew out of 1960s psychedelia, was originally associated with bands such as Pink Floyd, Rush, Genesis, Yes and King Crimson.
It flourished again in the 1980s with bands like Marillion, while Muse, The Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree are among the best-known progressive acts of the 21st Century.
Jerry Ewing, editor of Prog Magazine, said: "Prog artists have always pushed the boundaries of musical convention, and by doing so, many have gone on to be some of the best-selling and most influential artists of all time, but prog didn't stop in the 1970s, there are many people out there who are into prog artists and just don't seem to know it.
"You look at some of the best-selling and acclaimed artists of the modern era, like Muse, Radiohead, Mogwai, Tame Impala, what they do is incredible, they are challenging themselves, their audience and inspiring a new generation, and the Official Progressive Albums Chart is the platform in which this will be recognised."
The last new chart created by the Official Chart Company was the vinyl chart, in spring 2015.
The new progressive chart joins other musical genres such as dance, urban, jazz and blues and country. The monthly Top 30 will feature the biggest selling titles ranked on physical and digital sales and audio streaming data.
"There are some artists who embrace the term 'progressive', and there might be lots of others who don't because it is a tainted word," said the OCC's Martin Talbot.
"The punk wars were fought to do away with prog music. Part of what we are saying is that it was prog and disco that won the punk wars - maybe more than punk did."
To celebrate the launch of the new chart, the Official Charts Company has also compiled a list of the biggest-selling prog artists of the 21st Century. They are listed below with their biggest-selling album.

Starting with stem cells made from a mouse's gums, they managed to craft skin with multiple layers - as well as hair follicles and sweat glands.
When implanted into a "nude mouse" with a suppressed immune system, it integrated well and sprouted hairs.
Researchers say this success will take 5-10 years to translate into humans.
But eventually, the team hopes their system will lead to perfectly functioning skin that can be grown from the cells of burns victims and transplanted back on to them.
This would be vastly superior to the culturing and grafting techniques that are currently available, which produce skin without many of the the biological components and functionality that we are used to.
The technique could also be adapted to manufacture realistic skin samples that drug or cosmetics companies could use to test their products - instead of using animals.
The findings, reported in the journal Science Advances, have been greeted with enthusiasm by other scientists working in this field.
Takashi Tsuji is the paper's senior author. He said the dream of re-growing personalised organs was beginning to materialise:
"Up until now, artificial skin development has been hampered by the fact that the skin lacked the important organs, such as hair follicles and exocrine glands, which allow the skin to play its important role in regulation.
"With this new technique, we have successfully grown skin that replicates the function of normal tissue.
"We are coming ever closer to the dream of being able to recreate actual organs in the lab for transplantation."
Dr Tsuji, from the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology in Kobe, conducted the research with colleagues in Tokyo, Sagamihara and Sendai.
They began their experiments by taking cells from the gums of a mouse and converting them into "induced pluripotent stem cells" or iPSCs.
This is a popular and promising technique in stem cell research, discovered in 2006, which bathes the cells in chemicals to "wind back the clock". The resulting cells, like those of an embryo, can divide again and again, and be guided down many developmental pathways to become nearly any type of cell in the body.
The team's real achievement was in coaxing these cells to form the different layers and structures of deeply layered skin - the "integumentary organ" that protects our bodies, senses touch, regulates heat and does myriad other jobs as well.
John McGrath, a professor of molecular dermatology at King's College London, said this study was one that researchers in his field had been looking out for - and it was a substantial step forward.
He told BBC News that the new system took us "over the halfway mark" towards growing functional skin for human patients - where previous efforts had stumbled at much earlier stages.
"It's recapitulating normal skin architecture," Prof McGrath said. "So rather than having isolated bits of skin... here we've actually got a whole box of stuff.
"To give you a football analogy: anybody can have Wayne Rooney, but now we've got Manchester United. There's a whole team on the pitch, of interacting players."
And that means there is hope, he added, for lifelike, lab-grown skin.
"[Today's skin grafts] function, but they don't really look like or behave like skin. If you don't have the hair follicles and you don't have the sweat glands and things, it's not going to function as skin."
Prof McGrath also said that many other laboratories would now be trying to reproduce these findings - and to adapt them for different purposes, such as recreating skin diseases in a dish and trying out treatments.
"There will be lots of benefits for immediate use, as well as for translational science," he said.

Enniskillen was the scene of one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles when 11 people were killed on Remembrance Sunday in 1987.
The Queen and Prince Philip are on a two-day visit to Northern Ireland as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour.
The royal couple are staying overnight at Hillsborough Castle.
Earlier they also attended a service of thanksgiving to mark her 60-year reign.
The meeting with Enniskillen bomb families included those injured in the atrocity.
Stephen Gault was injured in the bombing and his father, Samuel, was killed.
He said he was honoured to have met the Queen.
"It highlights the point that the Enniskillen victims will not be forgotten, when Her Majesty the Queen made time in her hectic schedule, in her Jubilee year to come to Enniskillen," he said.
He said he was "not that bothered" about the prospect of former IRA leader and Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness shaking the monarch's hand "as long as it didn't happen in Enniskillen".
"I would have been a bridge too far to actually have the handshake in Enniskillen... after what happened in 1987," he said.
Earlier, thousands of people lined the streets to welcome the couple after their flight was delayed for about an hour due to bad weather.
The Queen was wearing a Wedgwood blue crepe outfit by royal designer Angela Kelly, complemented by a shamrock diamond brooch.

By visiting the western tip of the United Kingdom, the Queen was making a point about history as well as geography.
Enniskillen will be forever remembered as the town that endured one of the worst IRA atrocities of the Troubles.
The Queen's trip to the County Fermanagh town - and her meeting with relatives of the victims - showed she had not forgotten.
The visit was also a chance for County Fermanagh people to catch a glimpse of one of the most famous faces in the world. Thousands lined the streets.
The jovial atmosphere was summed up by the banner "Go Lizzie Go".
The service of thanksgiving at St Macartin's Cathedral in Enniskillen was attended by more than 700 people including senior Protestant and Catholic clergy.
The lesson was read by First Minister Peter Robinson.
The Prayers of Intercession were led by Reverend Ken Lindsay, President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, Catholic Primate of Ireland Sean Brady and the Right Reverend Dr Roy Patton Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
The sermon was delivered by the Most Reverend Alan Harper OBE, Archbishop of Armagh, who went on to pronounce The Blessing.
Archbishop Harper praised the Queen's visit to the Republic of Ireland last year.
He said her conciliatory words and gestures had allowed many to throw off the "shackles" that had been loosening since 1998's Good Friday Agreement, and to "positively" be themselves.
The Right Reverend John McDowell, led the Diamond Jubilee Prayer, which had been written at the Queen's direction by the Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral for Her Majesty's Jubilee.
After the service, the Queen met about 100 people at St Michael's Catholic church in the town. It is believed to be the first time the Queen has visited a Catholic church in Ireland.
Among those present were Cardinal Brady as well as local children and representatives from a number of sectors including sport, farming and business.
The Queen later visited the new £276m South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen which opened last week, and had an opportunity to meet patients and staff.
She then unveiled a plaque marking the official opening of the hospital.
At Hillsborough Castle, her official residence in Northern Ireland, the monarch unveiled a statue to the mythical, warrior poet, Óisín.
The Queen will meet Sinn Fein's Mr McGuinness at an arts event in Belfast on Wednesday.
The event is being hosted by Co-Operation Ireland.
Its chief executive, former senior police officer Peter Sheridan, said the handshake would be hugely significant.
"Even the most visionary among us would never have imagined that Her Majesty and the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness would be meeting in a handshake," he said.
"I think that is hugely significant - I don't think any of us could ever have imagined that.
"The very fact that is happening says a lot, not just about healing and reconciliation, but also about a coming together.
"I think at the end of tomorrow all of us will have realised that things have changed and that we are in life beyond conflict."
The Irish Republic's head of state, President Michael D Higgins, and Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson will also be at the event.
Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson, who is accompanying Her Majesty during her trip, previously said her Stormont visit would have been "unthinkable" years ago.
The two-day visit is the Queen's 20th trip to Northern Ireland.
Some protests by dissident republicans have been expected, but an anti-royal demonstration in Belfast at the weekend only attracted about 300 people.
The Queen's ground-breaking four-day visit to the Irish Republic last year cemented a new era in British-Irish relations.
In spite of speculation that the handshake between Mr McGuinness and the Queen would be off-camera, Mr McGuinness said he had no objection to the encounter being photographed.
The tie-up would have been the latest expansionary move by Steinhoff, which bought the UK's Poundland discount chain last year.
But the merger talks foundered after Shoprite shareholders complained they were getting a bad deal.
Steinhoff shares rose 7% in Johannesburg, while Shoprite jumped 6%.
Paul Chakaduka, a trader at Global Trader, said the collapse of the deal would please many Steinhoff shareholders.
"For Shoprite there has been this major overhang around this acquisition for a very long time and I think it will free up any uncertainties," he said.
Steinhoff's brands include Hardware Warehouse and clothing store Pep.
As well as its South African operations, Shoprite also has stores in Angola and Nigeria.
Steinhoff owns 40 retail brands in 30 countries, including Bensons for Beds and Harveys in the UK.
One of the main backers of the deal was Christo Weise, the South African retail billionaire ranked by Forbes as the second-richest man in Africa.
Mr Weise owns 23% of Steinhoff and 16% of Shoprite.
Response officers PCs David Stamp, Hugh Flanagan and Caroline Irwin face a series of alleged professional standard breaches in relation to the incident in March 2014.
The trio had attended the scene of a car crash caused by ice on the A413 in Buckinghamshire, but are accused of failing to take appropriate action.
A misconduct hearing started on Monday.
At 04:52 GMT on 4 March 2014, driver Martin Kendall phoned Thames Valley Police to report he had crashed his car on the A413 between Wendover and Great Missenden.
PC Stamp, based at Amersham Police Station, was joined at the scene by his colleagues.
It is alleged the officers left the scene at about 05:26 after concluding the accident had been caused by ice.
Shortly before 05:54 there was a fatal crash very close to the location of Mr Kendall's accident, again allegedly caused by ice.
The public hearing, taking place in Newbury, is set to run until 3 March.
Tracey Curtis-Taylor, 53, set off in her 1942 Boeing Stearman Spirit of Artemis aircraft from Farnborough, Hampshire, in October.
She retraced pioneer Amy Johnson's 1930 flight, flying over 23 countries and making some 50 refuelling stops.
After landing in Sydney she tweeted it was the end of a "huge adventure".
Ms Curtis-Taylor - the self-styled "Bird in a Biplane" - also thanked "everyone who supported me".
Some early reports suggested it was a solo flight - Ms Curtis-Taylor was the only pilot to fly the vintage bi-plane, but she had a support team of engineers travelling with her in a separate aircraft, as well as a camera crew, who would sometimes sit in with her.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that completing the challenge was a "huge relief" and she described her "euphoria to finally get to Sydney".
"This is the greatest adventure in the world - this is flying through some of the great iconic sites: the Dead Sea, the Arabian desert," she said.
"This is old fashioned stick and rudder flying, open cockpit, you get buffeted around - I've come through monsoons, thunder storms, turbulence, flying through the Australian outback in 45 degrees of heat.
"We fly seven or eight hours a day because we lost a bit of time in Indonesia trying to get through to Darwin - there were tropical cyclones… you are absolutely up against the elements."
Speaking to the AFP news agency after her three-month journey, Ms Curtis-Taylor joked that she needed "a drink".
She admitted she had "lost my rag several times dealing with people on the ground" during frequent refuelling stops, but added: "The flying has been sensational and that's why you do it.
"To fly something like this, low level, halfway around the world seeing all the most iconic landscapes, geology, vegetation - it's just the best view in the world."
Flying the open cockpit biplane had given her an "insight" into what Ms Johnson went through getting to Australia, she added.
Her route had taken her across Europe and the Mediterranean to Jordan, over the Arabian desert, across the Gulf of Oman to Pakistan, India and across Asia.
Ms Curtis-Taylor attempted to recreate the essence of Ms Johnson's era by flying with an open cockpit, with basic period instruments and a short range between landing points.
On flying, Ms Curtis-Taylor said: "You never want to stop, it is absolutely addictive, it is so thrilling and exciting."
Here are a selection of pictures from around the country as the results are announced.
It was announced on Monday that the 25-year-old would move to the English and European champions from next season.
"It's life outside rugby. It's not about the money, the money was not the issue" Pivac told BBC Wales Sport.
Pivac says there are no discussions with Leigh Halfpenny as a replacement.
The Scarlets boss forecast that Williams would return to the region later in his career.
Williams was spotted by the region playing for Waunarlwydd while working as a scaffolder, after missing out on the academy system, and has since become a Wales regular, winning 38 caps,
His partner, Welsh model Sophie Harries, is based in London for her career.
"Personal reasons came into it, I know in my discussions with Liam that that side of it is very important to him so I totally understand his reasons" Pivac explained.
"We weren't off [Saracens' offer] at all. We don't like to lose any players, but players are at different stages in their lives as well as their careers. People do have lives outside rugby and I'm pretty sure he'll be back at the club in the future."
Pivac also downplayed the chances of Wales full-back Halfpenny, who is out of contract with Toulon in summer 2017, being a possible replacement.
Halfpenny is the subject of an offer from Cardiff Blues and the Welsh Rugby Union, and has in the past been linked with David Young's high-spending Wasps.
"I haven't spoken to Leigh. It's looking at the squad we've got and what we want to do in other positions as well," Pivac said.
"We're not actively talking to Leigh, though in the past we have spoken to him."
Canada wing DTH van der Merwe is also leaving the Scarlets at the end of the current season for an English club, thought to be Newcastle Falcons.
But Johnny McNicholl has joined this season from New Zealand's Crusaders while 22-year old wing Steff Evans has signed a contract extension.
"Gutted to see Liam go, for the last three years he's been the main guy in the backs for the Scarlets and it's not what we wanted. He's going to a big club in Saracens and I think he's going do do well there as well" said Evans.
"Our back three have been really good this season and we've got a lot of competition, they are big boots to fill but it's not just one person."
Pivac ruled out any interest in Argentina wing or full-back Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, formerly with Cardiff Blues, who had been linked with the Scarlets.

None of the assembled journalists even attempted to pose a question; there was no point. He was staring at the floor, seemingly oblivious to outside influences.
Others stopped to talk but not Xavi, nor Andres Iniesta. Two of the greatest midfielders the game has ever seen now down and despondent, humbled and humiliated, fatigued and forlorn.
For Spain's defeat by the Dutch was not normal. La Roja lost their opening match four years ago before recovering to become the first side to win a Fifa World Cup having done so.
But this was different.

Switzerland in 2010 scored a goal and closed ranks - it can happen. Netherlands in 2014 subjected one of the finest teams of all time to an absolute savaging - that does not happen.
Spain have suffered two heavier defeats in their competitive history, but the most recent came in 1950, and neither are likely to have been as unexpected or potentially damaging as the one the World Cup favourites experienced in Salvador.
They did not trail at any stage of an unbeaten qualifying campaign in which their defence was breached on just three occasions, had lost only eight of 85 matches under coach Vicente del Bosque, averaged 60 caps per man and have not conceded in 10 knockout matches spanning the last three major tournaments, all of which they lifted.
Recall Del Bosque's news conference on Thursday when he bullishly rejected a suggestion that his is a "veteran squad", arguing: "We are mature, at our best". He appeared irritated at the subject being raised, perhaps aware deep down that there is actually an element of truth in it.
His post-match verdict told a rather different story. "I feel sick," said the 63-year-old - and if Spain are indeed at their best then, on current evidence, they are also in trouble.
Del Bosque described Netherlands' physical approach in the 2010 final as "brutal", but the only brutality on show in Salvador was a Dutch display that tore Spain to shreds.
Troubled against Italy in last year's Confederations Cup semi-final and dispatched by hosts Brazil in the final, there were indications that the Spanish might be losing their way.
Xavi claimed before the match that Spain would "win or die" by their famous tiki-taka style of play and although Friday indicated the latter was more plausible, it is surely unfair to pass judgement over an approach that has generated such success on the basis of one match.
From chatting to a number of Spanish journalists, the overwhelming feeling is that the philosophy is tried and trusted, has become a part of the national identity and is here to stay.
What is clear, however, is that Del Bosque's existing crop are possibly losing the ability and hunger to execute their methods to the level that has brought them many accolades and admirers over the past six years.

Seven of the 14 players who featured against Netherlands endured a disappointing season with Barcelona, while there was just one representative from La Liga champions Atletico Madrid.
Moreover, none of Real Madrid's key attacking players are Spanish, and seven of the squad are aged 30 or over. Could this be the beginning of the end for the protagonists, if not the project?
So long the standard bearer for club and country but now the oldest at 34, Xavi was uncharacteristically lax in possession and a rare miscontrol led to the second Dutch goal.
Spain enjoyed 63.8% of the ball and made 618 passes to Netherlands' 339, yet managed only four shots on target to 10 for their opponents and lost 124 balls to 114.
All over the pitch there was cause for concern: keeper Iker Casillas made some important saves but otherwise had a torrid evening, right-back Cesar Azpilicueta was run ragged by Daley Blind, centre-backs Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique could not contain Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben, and striker Diego Costa was unspectacular in the 62 minutes he was given.
When Van Persie scored his second goal to make it 4-1, the television cameras cut to the Spanish dugout as they watched a replay on the big screens. The players and staff were visibly shell-shocked, likewise their supporters dotted throughout a gobsmacked stadium.
The contrast could not have been more vivid as the Dutch catapulted off their bench in wild celebration, the orange-clad spectators giddy with unforeseen delight.
Expectations around Netherlands were low: they fell at the group stage of Euro 2012, are the eighth-youngest squad in Brazil, had concerns over their defence and were relying majorly on the 'Golden Triangle' of Van Persie, Wesley Snijder - both of whom have had fitness issues - and Robben.
Valentijn Driessen, chief football writer for Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, explained that the estimated 2,500 fans who have travelled to Brazil are markedly down on the 4000-5000 usually present when Netherlands compete in a major competition. Hopes were not high.
The loss of Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman to injury saw coach Louis van Gaal controversially scrap the traditional 4-3-3 formation in favour of a supposedly defensive-minded 5-3-2.
But during an open training session in Rio on Tuesday, full-backs Blind and Daryl Janmaat were essentially operating as wingers and the pair played a key role as Netherlands went on to produce an attacking masterclass that conjured memories of the 'Total Football' they pioneered in the 1970s.

"Credit to the Dutch," said former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry, a BBC pundit for the World Cup. "They took it from Spain. You have to own it, they went out there and they had no fear. I was questioning if they would be fazed but they weren't. I'm speechless.
"Tonight the Dutch got their style back."
Former England captain Alan Shearer added: "Some of the performances - Robben, Van Persie and Blind - were absolutely brilliant. I have never seen that Spain defence pulled around as much as they were tonight."
If it continues, Manchester United followers will be beside themselves with excitement at the thought of Van Gaal taking over as manager later this summer.
The 62-year-old was never fazed by Spain's greater experience - they named 16 survivors from 2010 compared to six for Netherlands and had 1,375 caps to 645 - and he is sure to take great satisfaction at helping develop a new generation of Dutch talent.
This was only a group game, nothing has been won or lost and both coaches will preach calm, but it was impossible to escape the notion - and you could sense it inside a buzzing arena - that we may have been witnessing a changing of the guard in world football.

A total of 189 men were killed in waters just outside the town's harbour when a hurricane struck in October 1881. All but 70 came from Eyemouth.
Many of them drowned within full view of their families on the shore.
The tragedy, which became known locally as Black Friday, left 78 widows and 182 fatherless children in Eyemouth.
A five-metre long bronze sculpture called "Widows and Bairns" is due be unveiled in October.
It was created by local sculptor Jill Watson, who was commissioned to design memorials representing the surviving widows and children from four of the communities affected by the disaster - Cove, St Abbs, Eyemouth and Burnmouth.
In 2009, a series of 12 "waymarks" by artist John Behm were installed along the Berwickshire coast in honour of the victims.
Alex Salmond insisted that a "few more ageing Tornado sorties will have no military consequences whatsoever" in the war-torn country.
Mr Salmond spoke ahead of the SNP conference unanimously backing a motion opposing "UK participation in ongoing military action in Syria".
It also condemned any air strikes as being "militarily irrelevant".
Instead, the SNP called for "renewed diplomacy to resolve the conflict", saying only those initiatives backed by the United Nations would have the "international consensus required" to end the civil war and the resulting humanitarian crisis, which has seen millions of Syrians flee their country.
Mr Salmond, the SNP foreign affairs spokesman at Westminster, said: "There is nobody in Syria who is not being bombed by somebody. That's why there are six-and-a-half million people displaced."
He added: "What should our reaction be to this carnage in this country? We need to be the voice of clarity, of sanity and of humanity.
"We have to have the clarity to put forward the vision that adding a few more ageing Tornado sorties will have no military consequences whatsoever but it will add to human suffering.
"We have to have the clarity to say we have a Prime Minister who is still smarting from being turned over in military action two years ago when he wanted to target Assad and is itching to reverse a Commons vote on military action."
And to cheers from the conference floor, Mr Salmond said: "There should be no more futile military interventions by the UK.
"No more Afghanistans with no exit strategies, no more Libyas where we spent 13 times as much bombing as we did reconstructing that country and no more illegal wars such as the one in Iraq.
"Above all, the path we should tread is that of humanity."
It has received hundreds of complaints from owners of new homes about poor broadband.
According to the Home Builders Federation, BT Openreach has failed to connect new homes on time.
In response, Openreach said it was "working hard to fix this issue".
It acknowledged that it had a backlog of new homes waiting to be connected to broadband.
"The rapid growth in the number of new homes being built around the country has resulted in some owners of new build properties having to wait longer than usual for their phone and broadband service," it said in a statement.
"Openreach would like to apologise to any affected customers and is working hard to fix this issue. We have also stated our ambition to provide infrastructure to all homes in new build developments before customers move in.
"Close liaison with developers is critical so Openreach continues to work closely with the house-building community to better plan for and deliver the capacity and infrastructure needed."
Openreach, the BT subsidiary responsible for the UK's telecoms infrastructure, is facing increasing pressure over its performance, as regulator Ofcom considers whether to separate the two companies.
In January, a group of more than 100 MPs signed a letter calling for Openreach to be split off.
The HBF offered its own response to the possible break-up of Openreach in October.
In its report, the federation said that it had "grown increasingly concerned at the persistent failure of BT Openreach to connect new build homes in a consistent and timely fashion".
"The poor performance of Openreach in connecting many new build homes to broadband services within a reasonable timeframe is now having an impact on the customer satisfaction levels obtained by the house builder," its report read.
"With broadband now seen as an essential utility it is unsurprising that customers moving into new homes with little or no connectivity feel dissatisfied even when, in some cases, house builders provide mobile broadband services in the interim."
A spokesman for the HBF told the BBC that the relationship with BT has improved in recent months.
Openreach added that it too "has made a lot of progress over the past year in improving its communication with developers".
"Improved processes such as encouraging developers to register new sites with Openreach at the beginning of the planning stage are also helping us to deliver on our commitment to bring fibre to as many new housing developments as possible," it told the BBC.
The telecoms company is expected to make an announcement on its plans to provide broadband services to new homes imminently.
Andrew Ferguson, editor of broadband news site ThinkBroadband said that often timetables between developers and BT clashed.
"Even where developers work with Openreach, the timescale from agreeing to put a cabinet for fibre and going live is around a year (based on the 20-30 private funded cabinets that have done this to date). If a developer can get Openreach on board ahead of time this can be done to coincide with the first house being sold."
He advised buyers wanting a good connection to make sure they checked that broadband was available before purchasing.
"Only when people stop buying homes with bad broadband will developers be forced to consider it with the same importance they give things like electricity and parking," he said.
Hundreds of residents who have recently purchased a new home without broadband, have contacted Cable.co.uk to express their anger.
Dan Howdle, editor-in-chief of the website, said: "It comes as a complete surprise to most new build homebuyers that their ultra-modern home not only offers broadband speeds unfit for basic everyday use, but in some cases no broadband connectivity at all."
Earlier this month Labour MP Chi Onwurah - a former telecoms engineer - said that it was "incomprehensible" that new developments are being built without access to fibre networks. She urged the government to act on the issue.
A spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: A DCMS spokesperson said: "Connectivity is something home buyers expect when buying a new build. Government is working closely with industry to address this and we expect to make an announcement on further progress soon."
The list will be finalised at the end of the domestic season and players and their unions will be notified.
A 41-man squad will tour New Zealand from 3 June to 8 July and play three Tests against the All Blacks.
"In our minds we have players who we will notify for standby, but we also have to be flexible," said Gatland.
England scrum-half Ben Young is the only withdrawal so far, after he pulled out for family reasons and was replaced by Scotland scrum-half Greig Laidlaw.
"For some positions, we've spoken about one or two players," said Gatland, who is leading his second Lions tour after 2013's series win against Australia.
"The reason we won't publish a list is because we may want to change our minds - we don't want to back ourselves into a corner with a player who is right at the moment but maybe isn't later on."
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning to "be aware" of snow and ice.
A corridor of snow 100 miles (160km) wide is moving from western Scotland, through the English Midlands, to London and south-east England overnight.
BBC Weather's Jay Wynne said a few centimetres (one inch) of snow were likely on low levels, with up to 10cm possible at higher levels in Scotland.
Parts of rural Scotland may see temperatures drop to -10C (14F) for a second night, he added.
The Met Office says clear skies will allow temperatures to fall widely to below freezing on Saturday evening, making untreated footpaths and cyclepaths turn icy.
There were further warnings of freezing fog on Sunday morning, which is expected to be slow to clear.
Latest local information from the BBC
Between one and three centimetres of snow are likely at low levels, with between five and 10cm possible above 200m across western Scotland and Cumbria.
In Scotland, all five snow sports centres were able to open their slopes for skiing and snowboarding.
Climbers and hillwalkers, however, were warned that the risk of avalanches in Scotland's highest hills and mountains was "considerable".
All areas of the UK are affected by the Met Office's yellow "be aware" warnings for either ice or snow or both, except Wales, Northern Ireland, the Grampian region, north-east England and the islands of Orkney and Shetland.
The warning is in place until mid-morning on Sunday.
The Met Office has three categories for its warnings - red, amber and yellow - with red as the most severe.
It said less cold conditions should start to develop during Sunday, allowing some snow to start melting.
Alex Hales, 27, filled the slot in the summer series against Pakistan but averaged just 18 in four Tests.
Asked if England could be about to pick a new opening partner for captain Alastair Cook, Bayliss said: "Possibly.
"If a player's good enough, he's old enough. I wouldn't have any problem [picking him]."
If selected, Lancashire's Hameed would be the ninth batsman to fill the role alongside Cook since Andrew Strauss retired in 2012.
Hameed has scored 1,129 runs in the First Division of the County Championship so far this season, including four centuries, at an average of 54.
It is just 12 months since the then England Under-19 captain told how he had been getting tips from potential partner Cook ahead of the youth Ashes Test against Australia.
Bayliss added: "There have been some young players making some runs who are coming into calculations - which is very exciting."
England are also monitoring Northants batsman Ben Duckett ahead of the tour to Bangladesh, said his county's director of cricket David Ripley.
Another point for discussion for England's selectors will be whether to pick Liam Dawson as the third spinner.
The Hampshire left-armer conceded two for 70 in eight overs on his one-day international debut against Pakistan on Sunday.
"There are one or two positions in a squad of 16 that could go either way," added Bayliss.
"He will certainly be in discussions - he's a guy who's got something about him.
"He bats, bowls and he's a pretty good fielder as well. But it's his game sense [that's impressive] - he knows how to play the game, almost knows what's going to happen before it happens."
Meanwhile, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has advised Yorkshire that Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow should be rested for their remaining two County fixtures.
Yorkshire, who are second as they go for a third County title on the trot, have games coming up against Somerset and leaders Middlesex.
Warwickshire's Chris Woakes and Surrey's Jason Roy are available for the Royal London One-Day Cup final between their sides on 17 September but the ECB has asked for Woakes to be rested from their last county fixture against Lancashire.
A decision on other players will be made after the Twenty20 international against Pakistan on Wednesday.
The 5 July referendum was called by PM Alexis Tsipras, who opposes further budget cuts. He urged voters to deliver a "resounding 'no'" to the package.
Eurozone partners have criticised Greece's referendum announcement, and rejected its request to extend the bailout programme beyond 30 June.
Greece faces default if it fails to pay €1.6bn (£1.1bn) to the IMF on that day.
There are fears the country may leave the euro and that its economy may collapse without new bailout funds.
Mr Tsipras's motion on a referendum easily won the backing in the 300-member strong parliament, with at least 179 MPs voting "yes" in the early hours of Sunday.
Speaking just before the vote, Mr Tsipras described the creditors' proposal as "an insulting ultimatum" and said an emphatic "no" vote on 5 July would strengthen Greece's negotiating position.
His government had earlier rejected the creditors' offer of a five-month extension to Greece's bailout programme in exchange for reforms.
On Saturday, eurozone finance ministers rejected the Greek proposal for the bailout extension beyond Tuesday's deadline. A Eurogroup statement said Greece had broken off negotiations over a new bailout deal "unilaterally".
It's never over till it's over. But it feels like the end is perilously close. The breakdown in talks between Greece and its creditors has to be seen as a failure.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this. It is also a massive gamble on all sides, and a possible turning point in the history of the eurozone. There will still be those working feverishly behind the scenes for compromise, but in effect neither side has blinked yet.
When the Greek government thought it had made substantial concessions at the beginning of the week, the creditors said it simply wasn't enough. And while no-one can say for certain that Greece will leave the eurozone, this is already uncharted territory.
Much will depend on the outcome of the referendum called by PM Alexis Tsipras, if it takes place on schedule. And much will also depend on the European Central Bank - and whether it believes it can still allow funds to flow, to prevent banks in Greece from collapsing.
ECB faces huge decision
Can Greece stay in the euro?
Crisis talks: As they happened
Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said it would now be up to the European Central Bank (ECB) to decide whether to continue providing emergency liquidity funding to the Greek banking system.
IMF head Christine Lagarde told the BBC that because the European part of Greece's bailout programme would have expired by 5 July, any referendum would relate to "proposals and arrangements which are no longer valid".
But she said that if there was a "resounding 'yes'" to staying in the eurozone, then the response would be "a resounding 'let us try'".
Meanwhile, queues have formed in Greece outside banks in the past few days amid concerns that the central bank might start restricting withdrawals.
In a statement released late on Wednesday night, the band called the rapper's contribution to music "seismic and hard to measure".
Born Malik Taylor, the New Yorker died on Tuesday from complications resulting from diabetes. He was 45.
Tributes have poured in from hip-hop contemporaries Chuck D and Nas, as well as Sean Lennon and Mark Ronson.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar held an impromptu vigil for Phife Dawg on stage in Sydney, encouraging 18,000 fans to chant Phife's name for more than a minute.
"We're gonna give it up for him, for allowing me to do what I'm doing on this stage right here, right now, today," said the star.
"Our hearts are heavy. We are devastated," said A Tribe Called Quest in its statement.
"This is something we weren't prepared for although we all know that life is fleeting. It was no secret about his health and his fight. But the fight for his joy and happiness gave him everything he needed. The fight to keep his family happy, his soul happy and those around him happy, gave him complete and unadulterated joy… until he heeded his father's call."
"We love his family, his mother, his father, his son, his wife, his nieces, his family here in New York, Atlanta, California and Trinidad."
The statement continued: "His music and what he's contributed is seismic and hard to measure. He's affected us as much as he's affected all of you. We're inspired by his daily joy and courage. He wasn't in pain. He was happy."
Phife has suffered from type 2 diabetes for several years, requiring a kidney transplant in 2008.
His health problems and self-proclaimed sugar addiction emerged as a point of tension in a 2011 documentary about A Tribe Called Quest's reunion tour.
But he was remembered for his frenetic, socially-conscious rhymes; as well as his witty repartee with A Tribe Called Quest co-star Q-Tip.
"He got me through some real times growing up," said rap star Nas. "Before I ever travelled to different countries, before I had ever been in the control room of a high-level recording facility, Phife and A Tribe Called Quest were in charge of the soundtrack of my teenage years.
"They made you move and think at the same time. He had presence, and together they sparked a cultural revolution. Through that music, Phife was my homie, older brother, mentor, teacher, wing-man, jokester, a trillion different things.
"He helped kicked down huge steel doors around the world so that guys like me could walk thru them with ease. He's a legend!"
Questlove, drummer and bandleader for The Roots, also attributed his career to Phife, recalling the first time he listened to A Tribe Called Quest's seminal album The Low End Theory in a lengthy Instagram post.
"I swear to God THAT was the moment I knew I wanted to make THIS type of music when I grew up," he wrote.
British rapper Monie Love, who worked with A Tribe Called Quest in the 1990s, told Billboard Phife brought "the fun and the technique" to A Tribe Called Quest.
"It was just always bubbly and fun; he brought the comedy," she told Billboard. "His lines were always the funniest lines in every song."
Sean Lennon shared a photograph of his Mellotron keyboard, which had been signed by Phife, saying he was "thinking of all the great music he brought us".
"[I] refuse to believe this," added Mark Ronson. "Phife Dawg made some of the most beloved hip hop ever. It's so sad that he's gone. I'd have gone to every reunion show till the end of time."
Chuck D of Public Enemy simply posted a mural of the star with the caption: "Rest In Beats".
Disco legend Nile Rodgers added: "Love to his fam[ily]. I know Tribe was working on a new record. So sad."
"Thank you for the outpouring of prayers and support from the fans, fellow artists, music outlets, blogs, radio stations, DJs, social media and the music community at large," said A Tribe Called Quest in its statement. "His family is overwhelmed by the support, well wishes and are thankful.
"We take comfort in knowing he will be beside his grandmother."
The scheme's developers say electricity generated by the six-mile lagoon would power 150,000 homes for 120 years.
Ex-Lib Dem Energy Secretary Sir Ed Davey accused Conservative ministers of delaying the project for too long.
A government-commissioned review backed the £1.3bn lagoon scheme in January.
Ministers would have to agree a deal on the level of subsidy required for the energy generated and a marine licence would also need to be approved.
The Swansea Bay project, involving 16 turbines along a breakwater, is seen as a prototype for much larger lagoons.
These could include one off the coast of Cardiff - east of Cardiff Bay - Newport, Bridgwater Bay in Somerset, Colwyn Bay and west Cumbria, north of Workington.
The Lib Dems said more than 30,000 jobs could be created across Wales by the schemes.
Sir Ed said tidal lagoons were "vital for creating Britain's low carbon future and will provide extremely reliable and consistent energy for at least 120 years".
"Liberal Democrats would go ahead immediately with the lagoon at Swansea Bay and start planning for further lagoons in Wales and other parts of the UK," he added.
In January, current Energy Secretary Greg Clark said ministers would consider the recommendations and "determine what decision is in the best interests of the UK energy in the long term".
The Liberal Democrats are aiming to reverse their decline in the polls next month, after losing two of their three MPs in Wales at the 2015 general election.
In last week's local elections the party lost 11 Welsh council seats and now has 62 councillors in Wales.
Welsh Lib Dem leader Mark Williams was joined at the campaign launch in Cardiff by UK party leader Tim Farron, who warned Wales would suffer if Mrs May won a big majority on 8 June.
"If the Tories get a landslide, Wales will be taken for granted," he said.
"It is time that we gave the people of Wales, the people of the United Kingdom some hope.
"Wales, like other parts of the country, remembers what it was like to live under a Conservative government with a landslide majority in the 1980s," Mr Farron added.

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust planned to end licensed fertility treatment, including IVF, at University Hospital Hartlepool on 31 March.
But the council won a High court injunction, claiming the trust had not properly consulted on the move.
Councillor Ray Martin-Wells said problems in recruiting enough embryologists was a "lie all along".
The trust cited an "inability to recruit embryologists" to keep services going safely as the reason for the planned closure.
But Hartlepool Borough Council claimed health bosses acted too quickly, failed to properly consult with the public and could have done more to attract trained staff.
Mr Martin-Wells said: "The hospital trust has finally admitted that it has no desire to continue running the service.
"If the trust had come clean six months ago it would have prevented the need for High Court action and prevented the hospital trust and council wasting around £60,000 in legal costs - time and money that could have been spent on finding another provider to deliver this vital service.
"I condemn their actions in the strongest possible terms."
During a three-month public consultation, three options were put forward by the NHS Hartlepool and Stockton Clinical Commissioning Group.
An NHS Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees Clinical Commissioning Group spokesman, said: "We acknowledge the concerns raised by the local council in relation to the findings of the independent clinical review team.
"This information will be considered alongside all other responses received during the consultation period to enable the CCG's governing body to make an informed decision."
About 250 IVF cycles are provided each year at the hospital.
The final decision is expected on Tuesday.
Gayle was speaking to journalist Mel McLaughlin during a Big Bash League match in Hobart on Monday and said the following: "To see your eyes for the first time is nice. Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards. Don't blush baby."
The remarks were widely condemned as sexist, but Gayle apologised afterwards. However, he added that the reaction was "out of proportion". .
He also posted the following tweets in the wake of the exchange, including retweeting a message of support from TV presenter Piers Morgan.
In the 24 hours since the interview, his name has been tweeted about 27,000 times. Some people also used the hashtag #dontblushbaby in reference to one of the comments he made to the female journalist:
The trend started in Australia but quickly spread to other countries including the UK, India and Jamaica, where Gayle is from.
His comments also prompted a strong reaction from the cricketing community and sports reporters.
Former England all-rounder Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff tweeted:
BBC cricket commentator Alison Mitchell tweeted her reaction, calling Gayle's behaviour "unprofessional and inappropriate":
And Fox Sports reporter Neroli Meadows tweeted that it was "not funny" or "original":
Meanwhile, Australian hockey international Georgie Parker called for "calm":
Mel McLaughlin has yet to tweet on the matter herself, but her comments have been widely spread and discussed by media colleagues, with Australian broadcaster ABC tweeting:
Other tweeters have put it down to "banter":
But that was dismissed by others, with the Guardian's Sachin Nakrani tweeting:
And one bookmaker added the following tweet:

Johnson, 39, has dominated the riding ranks since the record-breaking McCoy's retirement two seasons ago; he had been runner-up to the 20-time champion on no fewer than 16 occasions.
Now it's Johnson casting the long shadow in which opponents headed by Brian Hughes, Sam Twiston-Davies, Aidan Coleman and up-and-coming youngster Harry Cobden are forced to live.
"Some people seem to think it's going to be easy to do it again, but it's very, very difficult because there are an awful lot of lads who're very keen to try to get in front of me," said Johnson.
"I think it shows AP's dedication that he was able to keep on doing it for 20 years running.
"It really was an amazing achievement when you consider I was chasing him hard and lots of other eager young lads were too."
Though not his biggest tally of winners - that was 235 wins in the 2015-16 campaign - a figure in the 180s this season provides Johnson with a very comfortable winning margin.
And it means he has galloped well past the century mark and into three figures for a fairly remarkable 21st successive season.
Speaking on the 5 live Racing Podcast, Johnson nominates his season's principal highlights as rides on star pair Native River and Defi Du Seuil.
Native River, eventually third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, heralded his emergence into the big time when guided by Johnson to striking wins in Newbury's Hennessy Gold Cup and the Welsh Grand National.
The unbeaten hurdler Defi Du Seuil, trained by long-term supporter Philip Hobbs, received rave reviews when thrashing his rivals in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham's Festival.
Also rated among Johnson's very best moments was the unexpected reopening of the racecourse at Hereford after nearly four years of closure. The jockey is a true local - born, bred, resident and rode his first winner there.
At the other end of the scale, Johnson, whose 3,200 winning mounts make him easily the second most successful jump jockey of all time behind McCoy, became the first champion in years not to take part in the Grand National.
It prompted speculation that he might actually dislike the Aintree feature.
In 20 attempts, although second twice, he has otherwise endured what you might call 'mixed luck', a situation rather underlined this time when forced to watch the win of One For Arthur, which at one stage could have been his mount.
"I find [the race] frustrating," Johnson said. "Look, it's the one thing obviously that I'd love to be able to win before I finish, but unfortunately because it only comes around once a year, it's not that easy.
"I was on standby in case Derek Fox didn't get back [from injury, for One For Arthur] which was slightly ironic, and after that unfortunately the right horse didn't come along.
"But at other times I know I've been very, very fortunate that sometimes my luck has been other people's bad luck - Barry Geraghty missing Defi Du Seuil at Cheltenham because of injury is one example - so it's swings and roundabouts.
"When you get to my age and have been at it so long, you have to look at it realistically, and optimistically for the future."
Because of the position of May Day, jumping's closed season lasts just one day before it all resumes at Warwick and Kempton on Bank Holiday Monday with every jockey's score back to zero.
Obviously, it means any celebrations, let alone a family holiday with wife Fiona - whose father Noel Chance trained Johnson's Gold Cup winner Looks Like Trouble (2000) - and their three children, is on hold.
However, the reigning champion relishes the challenge of getting on with things and seeking to continue his 'Mr Dependable' reputation, as he tries to add a third title to his CV.
People naturally wonder how long Johnson, who is also involved in the breeding of racehorses, will continue plying his trade, or whether he'll ever challenge McCoy's 4,358 total over jumps.
Success number one for Johnson came on Rusty Bridge, owned and trained by his parents Sue and Keith, at Hereford - the course named its new restaurant after the horse - in April 1994, and he's hopeful the finishing line isn't yet in sight.
"I'm loving doing what I do, especially when riding nice horses," he said. "I'm lucky - AP struggled more with his weight, and other lads have got different things, but at the moment my body's pretty well.
"It'll happen one day, but when you've got support from trainers like Philip Hobbs, Henry Daly and Tim Vaughan, it makes my job easy."
Two years? Three? Four?
"I want to go on as long as possible."
Belfast's Frampton will put his IBF super-bantamweight title on the line against Bury's Quigg, the WBA champion, in front of 20,000 fans at the Manchester Arena.
In reply to Frampton, Quigg vowed to upset the odds and knock his rival out.
"It will be so one-sided it won't warrant a rematch," said Frampton, 29.
"People are comparing it to Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales [the Mexican greats fought a classic trilogy in and around the super-bantamweight division in the 2000s] because they were so closely matched.
"But I don't see this fight like that. Once he gets hit he will go into his shell and I'll outbox him, until he gets brave enough to open up. When he does open up, he'll get knocked out.
"If he stays tight and keeps his hands to his chin, it may go the distance. If it does, it's a comprehensive points win for me. Either way, it will be such a comprehensive win for me that they won't want a rematch."
Quigg, 27, responded: "He'll stay calm for a while, but sooner or later he'll take the bait and I'll take him out.
"I've got to go in there and be smart and composed. That's the key to this fight - composure. Whatever he brings on the night, I'll have an answer for.
"I'm a terrible loser. If I lose at Connect Four I'll be banging the table and smashing the pieces.
"You show me a good loser and they'll be a born loser. Good losers aren't right in the head."
Frampton-Quigg is one of the most eagerly anticipated domestic match-ups in recent memory, and the first time two undefeated British boxers have fought to unify a world title.
Frampton, who is undefeated in 21 pro fights and managed by boxing legend Barry McGuigan, is a slight favourite with the bookmakers.
However, the fact that Frampton was knocked down twice in his last fight against unheralded Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez, along with Quigg's demolition of the tough Kiko Martinez, suggests it could go either way.
Quigg, who will have Ring magazine's trainer of the year Joe Gallagher in his corner, is undefeated in 33 pro fights.
The remains of Saima Ahmed, 36, were discovered on Saturday 9 January at Gogar Mount House, on the edge of nearby Gogarburn Golf Club.
It is believed the librarian had travelled by rail from her home in Wembley to Edinburgh a year ago.
Leaflets will also be handed out in Waverley Station on Tuesday.
They will also be given to people in the Wembley area of London, train stations in Hemel Hempsted, Birmingham and elsewhere in Edinburgh.
Police will also be distributing posters and leaflets to visitors to the Unofficial Fringe Venue 999 in East Princes Street Gardens until the end of the festival next week.
Det Ch Insp Martin MacLean, of Police Scotland, said: "There are several outstanding lines of inquiry in what has been a painstaking investigation.
"We still need to establish why Saima came to Scotland and Edinburgh and the circumstances that led to her death.
"The information gathered thus far certainly indicates that Saima left her home on Sunday, August 30th, last year and travelled by train to Edinburgh.
"Now, almost one year on, Edinburgh is again in the midst of hosting the International Festival and there will be a number of people returning to the city who may remember Saima.
"It's my hope that these posters might help jog some memories and we can gain vital information to assist with our investigation."
Ms Ahmed's death is still being treated as unexplained.
Police said she may have been spotted months earlier on Portobello beach - after travelling to the city in August.
A man walking his dog spoke with a woman on the beach, who was walking alone and who closely matched Ms Ahmed's description, at about 10:30 on a Monday in August, possibly 31 August, although the exact date is unknown.
The woman said she had wanted to see the beach and said she had travelled up from London and was going back down later the same day.
The police want to know if she stayed in a guest house there the night before, possibly on Sunday 30 August.
Ms Ahmed's exact movements as she travelled to Scotland remain unconfirmed.
However, detectives now believe she bought a Birmingham to Edinburgh rail ticket at Birmingham New Street Station at about 17:00 on Sunday 30 August 2015.
Officers said there was a strong possibility she then boarded one of two Edinburgh-bound services - either the 17:15 Virgin service due to arrive at Edinburgh Waverley at 22:22, or the 13:30 Virgin Cross Country Network (via York), which was due to arrive at 22:21.
Dagmara Przybysz, 16, was found at Pool Academy in Cornwall last May.
In a message written the night before her death, she complained of others "saying things about me because I'm from Poland".
Recording an open verdict, coroner Dr Emma Carlyon accepted Dagmara had been upset by the incidents.
Dr Carlyon said although evidence suggested a "self-inflicted death" no notes or other evidence of an intention to take her own life were found.
The three-day inquest heard Dagmara had told her parents, Jedrzej and Ewelina Przybysz, and boyfriend Lewis Simpson that she was being bullied.
During the hearing, Dagmara's parents asked questions about the recording of bullying incidents at the school.
In response to assistant principal Lisette Neesham stating that no incidents of bullying had been reported by Dagmara or anyone on her behalf, her mother said: "She said to staff about bullying. Why did nobody do anything?"
The school's pastoral support worker Susan Kent said to the best of her knowledge Dagmara had "never mentioned any problems with racism to me or any other person at school".
Dr Carlyon said although Dagmara was upset before her death, "She was clearly enjoying the relationship with Lewis and was making plans for the school ball".
Det Sgt Steve Panter said he didn't have details of "how significant" the bullying incidents were in "Dagmara's decision" on the day she died.
The delay in discovering Dagmara's body was also raised by her parents at the inquest.
She was seen on CCTV entering a toilet in the maths corridor at 12:14 BST - but was not found for more than 90 minutes - at 13:50 when two pupils raised the alarm.
A 999 call was made but school co-ordinator Paula Hosking told the inquest no CPR was attempted by school staff despite advice from the ambulance service.
"We knew Dagmara had died and decided not to carry out CPR. We knew it was all too late," she said.
Paramedic Christopher Rogers said there was "frustration" on the call as it was five minutes 38 seconds before the call handler was told what had happened.
There were also issues with phone signal between the school's reception and where the incident had taken place.
The inquest heard that the school had a system whereby a missing child should be found within 20 minutes, but nobody had looked for Dagmara.
An Ofsted report dated June 2017 said safeguarding was effective at the school.
After the inquest, Pool Academy said Dagmara's death had "shocked and saddened" the whole school and it had strengthened safeguarding procedures "since the tragic incident."
Police were called to an address in Cromwell Avenue in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 10:10 BST and found the body of a 44-year-old man and the girl.
Hampshire Constabulary said she was taken to St Mary's Hospital, where she died a short time later.
The bodies of two dogs were also found at the address, following what police are treating as an "isolated incident".
A spokesman said: "[We] would like to reassure the community that there is no wider risk.
"Formal identification procedures are ongoing and we will not be in a position to confirm the names of the deceased until these are complete."
Specialist support is being provided for the family and officers will remain at the crime scene overnight, the force said. | One of Scotland's leading QCs will chair a statutory public inquiry into historical abuse of children in care.

CS Wind bought WTS from stakeholders SSE and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
SSE said CS Wind planned to invest up to £14m in Scotland and create up to 70 new jobs in rural Argyll.
The investment is also expected to secure 134 jobs at the existing WTS plant in Machrihanish.
No financial details of the deal have been given. SSE has sold its entire 81% stake in WTS, while HIE has off-loaded its 19% share.
WTS, which was established in 2011 by SSE and HIE, supplies wind turbine infrastructure to markets across Europe.
It also provides repair and maintenance services to the sector.
CS Wind is a global manufacturer of wind farm tower structures.
SSE director of procurement Sandy Biggar said: "Transfer of our stake in the business to CS Wind at this point represents a renewed growth opportunity for Wind Towers and job security for the staff there on top of increased employment opportunities for skilled workers based in Argyll and Bute.
WTS managing director Grant McPherson said: "We are immensely pleased CS Wind has announced this major investment in Scotland.
"Machrihanish is an ideal location for wind tower manufacturing with an excellent reputation and highly skilled workforce.
"The team at Wind Towers is completely supportive of this development and already looking forward to the opportunities to come as CS Wind has stated it has big plans to build on the current success of the factory."
The British Chamber of Commerce, the CBI and manufacturers' organisation the EEF all called for an early decision on expanding airport capacity
Mr Javid, an MP since 2010, was culture secretary before the election.
Before politics he was an investment banker for Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and Deutsche Bank.
The married father of four was state school educated and studied at Exeter University before embarking on his career which saw him rise to being a managing director of Deutsche Bank in 2009.
Mr Javid, whose father was a Pakistani immigrant who worked as a bus driver, also had spells as financial secretary to the treasury and minister for equalities in the last parliament.
'Diggers on the ground'
EEF chief executive Terry Scuoler said: "The new secretary of state will also play an important role in any EU negotiations and in the forthcoming referendum and I am sure he understands that the vast majority of businesses he will now be representing in government want Britain to remain at the heart of a reformed Europe."
He added there was a need to "ensure Government delivers the big-ticket infrastructure projects, from the new airport hub to rail and road improvements".
CBI director general John Cridland congratulated Mr Javid on his new job, saying he had been "an excellent treasury minister" and would be a "a strong voice for business".
"As an immediate step, we want the government to set out a clear business plan for its first 100 days, including getting the deficit down, finding new ways to deliver public services and committing to the Airports Commission's final decision this summer," he said.
The BCC's John Longworth said he hoped the government would stay true on "irreversible commitments to new airport capacity" in the South East.
He also urged Mr Cameron to "be ambitious" and to fight Whitehall "inertia".
Meanwhile, Christian May, the head of campaigns and communications at the Institute of Directors described Mr Javid's new role as a "solid appointment".
He said: "Sajid Javid is respected by the business community for his understanding of the hard work and risk taking involved in running a company, and also for his own private sector experience.
"Furthermore, his time spent working with the chancellor will ensure a productive relationship between the Department of Business Innovation and Skills, and the Treasury that wasn't always evident under the coalition."
Runway options
Last week it was reported that that a long-running inquiry into the need for a new airport runway in the South East may be delayed for more public consultation.
Sir Howard Davies, the chairman of the Airports Commission, decided to take further evidence on problems caused by air pollution.
The commission has already recommended three options for a new runway.
The final report was expected next month, but could now be delayed as a result of the consultation, which is expected to end on Friday 29 May.
The three options are:
The Airports Commission began its inquiry three years ago, with the result being put off until after the general election.
The top seed was broken in his opening service game by 31-year-old Almagro, ranked 44th in the world, but recovered to take the first set tie-break.
The pair exchanged breaks early in the second set before Murray prevailed.
Murray will face third seed Tomas Berdych in the semis and, if he progresses, could meet Novak Djokovic in Saturday's final.
Djokovic, whom Murray replaced as world number one in November, beat veteran Radek Stepanek 6-3 6-3 in their quarter-final to book a meeting with Fernando Verdasco of Spain in the last four.
Elsewhere, Britain's Aljaz Bedene beat Slovakia's Martin Klizan to reach the quarter-finals of the Chennai Open in India.
And Australia's Nick Kyrgios was beaten 6-2 6-2 by Jack Sock at the mixed teams Hopman Cup, in the tie between Australia and the United States.
Kyrigos was defeated in under an hour and later pulled out of the mixed doubles event with a knee problem.
His injury comes less than two weeks before the Australian Open - the first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne.
Les Bleus beat Ireland 10-9 in Paris to claim their second win of the campaign.
After drawing in Ireland on the opening weekend, Wales saw off Scotland on Saturday, and Jones expects a tough French challenge on 26 February.
"We know the quality and calibre of player they have, they can turn it on when they want to," he said.
"The occasion when they come to the Principality Stadium is going to be a pretty special one. They are a work in progress but they are growing."
France are in their first campaign under veteran former Toulouse coach Guy Noves, after a heavy defeat against New Zealand in Cardiff saw them exit the World Cup on a low point.
"They're a typical French side - you don't know necessarily what's going to turn up and I think that's the biggest compliment you can give to a French side," said Jones.
"From our point of view, the first two games we have had have been pretty attritional affairs and from the scoreline of their game, that was in a similar vein."
Jones believes the Welsh game is also on the up, after he had spoken before the Scotland match of the need to develop a wider game.
"It was a bit of a dogfight at the breakdown at times, I think they probably had the ascendancy in the first half," he added.
"But when we had the opportunity we made good dents and made something out of it. There's a definite improvement there but you've still got to take those chances.
"It's good to know we can weather those storms within the game and ultimately get the score."
Meanwhile, Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies insists he was not offside for the try that set his team on the road to victory over Scotland.
The visitors' coach Vern Cotter and captain Greig Laidlaw both questioned whether Davies was offside when he collected a loose ball for his early score after a 40-metre dash.
"It came off their player, it was fine," Davies told BBC Wales Sport.
"A great little nudge from Biggs [Dan Biggar], good work from Jamie (Roberts) in the air as he managed to tap it back. I was in the right place at the right time and a decent little finish."
Davies' try was his sixth in 12 caps after scoring five at the World Cup, and the first at the Principality Stadium since the name change.
"I didn't know about that, but my grandmother told me upstairs, so it's a good little feeling" said Davies.
He admitted to some surprise at learning of France's victory over Ireland.
"Yes, a little bit, but it's a decent result for us and we've got to make the most of it," he added.
"I think we're in a good place. We've got a week off [without a match], a training week but we'll be in nearly every day.
"In the French game hopefully we can be a bit more clinical and come away with a victory."
Davies has been first-choice since an injury to Rhys Webb in September, but could face a renewed challenge from the Ospreys man later in the tournament if he proves his fitness quickly enough to earn a recall to the squad.

In its latest trading statement, the firm said demand for Turkish destinations remained "subdued".
"We remain pleased with our summer 2016 trading performance, with 95% of our source market programme sold and increased revenue in all our major source markets," the statement said.
"The UK continues to demonstrate a strong bookings performance, up 9% on prior year."
Tui Group said it had sold 47% of its summer holidays for this year, broadly in line with expectations. Overall, bookings were up 2% and revenues were 3% higher.
Ms Le Pen, of the far-right National Front (FN), chose Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, of the mainstream nationalist "Stand Up France" in an apparent bid to attract his voters.
Mr Dupont-Aignan had already backed Ms Le Pen for the second round.
Ms Le Pen faces centrist Emmanuel Macron in the second, decisive round of voting, which takes place on 7 May.
Mr Dupont-Aignan, who got 4.7% in the first round, stood on a platform of leaving the euro and scrapping the European Union, higher ethical standards for elected officials, and focusing on the fight against jihadist terrorism.
He said it was time to stop treating Ms Le Pen as untouchable.

The polling average line looks at the five most recent national polls and takes the median value, ie, the value between the two figures that are higher and two figures that are lower.
The BBC's Hugh Schofield, in Paris, says the alliance between the two right-wing parties is symbolically important as it is the first time the FN has formed a pact with a mainstream political party.
Ms Le Pen's manifesto has been adapted to take in some of her putative prime minister's policies.
But the new alliance is less likely to appeal to the nearly 20% of French voters who cast their first round ballot for left-winger Jean-Luc Mélenchon, correspondents say.
Outgoing President François Hollande, speaking in Brussels at his last EU summit, said the election on 7 May "is a European choice".
"The French have everything to gain by staying in the European Union," he told reporters gathered at the summit to discuss the UK leaving the bloc.
Antoine Maury, 21, was last seen more than a month ago. He disappeared after leaving a group of friends suddenly on Monday 24 October.
A man matching his description was later seen at the loch wearing no top.
On Facebook, his mother Laura Maury thanked people for their help and support over the last few weeks.
She said: "For all of you out there and particularly to all of Antoine's, older and more previous friends.
"My beloved sons body was recovered in the Dudingston Loch earlier this morning. Antoine would had turned 22 on the 31st of December this year. Thank you all for your help and support during the last 5 and 1/2 weeks. God bless you all."
Divers and sonar equipment were used in the search for Mr Maury whose family travelled to Edinburgh to appeal for information.
Earlier, a Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police in Edinburgh can confirm that a body has been recovered from Duddingston Loch.
"The discovery was reported to police around 10:30 on Friday, 2 December.
"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the man's identity.
"The family of Antoine Maury have been informed of this development."
The quantity of cash, totalling 1.2bn naira ($3.8m; £3m), was so great that it took 10 days to count it, Sunday Oluseye told the court in Abuja.
His testimony forms part of a case linked to a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal.
President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to tackle corruption.
"I got worried when I saw the huge amount of money conveyed by the aircrafts that day," Mr Oluseye told the court, in comments reported by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), a government anti-corruption body.
He told the court that most of the money was in 500 and 1,000 naira notes.
The evidence was given as part of a money-laundering case brought by the EFCC against Abiodun Agbele, whom the body names as a close ally of the governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.
The EFCC says the case is linked to a wider investigation into Nigeria's former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki, who has been charged for an alleged multi-million dollar fraud in which government funds earmarked to fight Boko Haram were stolen.
Mr Dasuki and Mr Agbele both deny the charges.
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria and so far the EFCC has only managed to secure a handful of convictions.
Lots of journalists now use Twitter as a newsgathering tool. It can be a great way to search for contributors, case studies and information on a story.
It is also a good way just to see what people are saying on a particular topic and can be used to broadcast your stories to a wider audience.
BBC News School Report uses Twitter to promote stories and news about the project, but we make sure we follow these guidelines:
Why not have a look at School Report's quiz on using Twitter safely as a journalist?
However, if you want to use Twitter as part of your journalistic research during the course of School Report you should think very carefully about safety issues and the age restrictions in place on Twitter.
Just like websites such as YouTube and Facebook, Twitter is aimed at people who are over 13. Within Twitter's pages on privacy is a section on their policy "towards children" which points out that "...our services are not directed to persons under 13... we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13".
Any use of Twitter or social media for School Report purposes should comply with your school's social media policy, and we strongly recommend it is done in a supervised capacity.
It is crucial that social media is used safely, especially by young people. For more guidance on using social networks safely see BBC Webwise's guide to staying safe on social networking sites.
You can also read School Reporter's guide to staying safe online, with teenagers giving tips to their fellow teens on how to stay out of trouble.
And here are some simple tips to ensure you use Twitter safely - and remember that many of these tips apply to other social media websites too:
There is also more information available on these websites:
You can choose which other Twitter accounts you would like to follow. Depending on the stories you are working on, you might want to follow, for example, your local newspaper, your local council, your local football club or journalists who tend to cover these type of stories.
You can also create lists in Twitter to group together related accounts which can be a really useful way to manage lots of information coming in.
If, for example, you were reporting on a story about your local football club, you might want to follow the club's official account, an organised fans' group, supporters who blog about the team, footballers who play for the club, journalists who cover stories about the team and so on.
By creating a list, you can group all of these accounts together in one Twitter stream to make it easier to follow. Here are some step-by-step instructions to create lists.
You can search Twitter in a similar way to searching Google, Yahoo or other search engines and this can help you find out crucial information and even potential interviewees.
An advanced search can be a really good way of narrowing down the information that's coming in on a particular topic.
People often use hashtags to help their tweets get found by other Twitter users with an interest in a particular topic or event. So, for instance, during Prime Minister's Questions, journalists may compose a tweet about the exchanges and end with #pmqs which other people can then search for to bring all the tweets mentioning #pmqs together.
There's no hard and fast rule about what hashtags get used - try a bit of trial and error to see what people are using.
But it's vital that you treat Twitter just the same as any other source: just because something's on Twitter doesn't mean it's true!
Hoax accounts are common, and sometimes a Twitter user will pretend to be a famous person for the purposes of trying to arrange a face-to-face meeting. This is obviously dangerous and you should not allow yourself to be talked into a meeting with someone you do not know.
There are also parody accounts, where Twitter users pretend to be other people either for comedy or to catch out lazy journalists.
There have been a string of hoax stories circulating on Twitter, from made-up football transfer stories and political resignations to false reports of celebrity deaths. It's important to check out stories are genuine before you start reporting them.
At the BBC we normally want at least two sources for every story - that way you can be more confident that it's true. Use other non-Twitter sources to try to verify the story.
Twitter uses blue ticks to identify "official" accounts, especially for high-profile celebrities - but even some of these have proven to be hoaxes so use some common sense. Ask yourself: How many followers do they have? How much have they tweeted? When was the account set up? What is in their 'bio' section?
If an account claims to be, for example, your local MP but only has seven followers, has tweeted twice and was set up yesterday, alarm bells should be ringing!
This video on the BBC College of Journalism offers some more top tips on verifying stories, material and people you discover on Twitter.
Don't assume that you can just use material - videos, photos etc - that you come across via Twitter in your reports.
This guide from the BBC College of Journalism offers some more detailed advice about copyright issues and dealing fairly with people.
You should get consent from the person who posted the material before using it, and the same rules about privacy and taste and decency apply - don't use material that is unsuitable for your audience.
And think about the impact of using the material on the people involved. Is it fair to them to reuse it in a reporting context when this would not have been their original intention when they uploaded the material?
The BBC broadcasts breaking news and other stories on Twitter and individual productions - like School Report - also promote their stories and material via Twitter. Here are some useful handles: @BBCBreaking, @BBCSchoolReportand @BBCNewswhich will give you a good example of how the BBC does things on Twitter.
The BBC uses Twitter to broadcast headlines as a story breaks and provide links to further information which is available via the BBC News online site as more information becomes available.
If your school uses Twitter and has an account you may want to broadcast the headlines of your stories on the account - just like the BBC does. It's one way of getting your news seen by more people in your community who follow you.
It's also a way of getting people who are interested in the subject of your story to find out about it.
Imagine you were reporting on the possible closure of your local hospital. People who are interested in the future of the hospital may well search Twitter to see what the latest news is, so if you put the right terms - probably the name of the hospital in this instance - in your tweet, then your report will have more chance of being seen by a really engaged audience.
The key is to remember that BBC journalism values still apply: be accurate, fair and think about what your audience will find most interesting.
Think of the tweet as the headline to your story and apply the usual who, what, where, how and who rules.
Get a second pair of eyes from the teacher before sending anything.
And don't forget to include a link! There are URL-shortening websites such as bit.ly and TinyURL (many others are available, try an internet search for "URL shortener") which will ensure the link takes up fewer of your precious 140 characters!
Former world number 11 Stephens missed nearly a year of action because of a foot injury before returning at Wimbledon last month.
But she defeated Germany's Kerber 6-2 6-2 in 58 minutes to reach the last eight after beating number 14 seed Petra Kvitova in the previous round.
The unseeded 24-year-old will face Lucie Safarova in the next round.
New world number one Karolina Pliskova survived a scare to reach the quarter-finals as Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka retired.
The 19-year-old qualifier, ranked 50th in the world, won a second set tie-break but called for the trainer and retired while Pliskova was leading 6-2 6-7 (4-7) 1-0.
"She played well, especially in the second set she was fighting pretty hard," said Pliskova
"I was just trying to stay in the game and I didn't know she was injured."
The Czech, 25, playing in her first event as the world's top-ranked player, won four straight games to take the first set from Osaka.
But Osaka matched top seed Pliskova shot-for-shot in the second set before dominating the tiebreak 7-4 to level the match.
During the changeover, Osaka told her coach that she was suffering from abdominal pain and was told to withdraw if the pain persisted to avoid the risk of further injury.
Pliskova will meet sixth seed and former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the last eight.
In a battle of former Rogers Cup champions, a ruthless Wozniacki swept past 10th-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3 6-1 in only 78 minutes.
Romanian second seed Simona Halep, who won the tournament last year, eased through her last-16 match with a 6-1 6-0 demolition of the 26th-ranked Barbora Strycova inside an hour.
Czech Lucie Safarova also made the last eight by beating Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 6-3 6-7 6-2, while France's Caroline Garcia beat 18-year-old American Catherine Bellis 6-4 6-2.
Later on Thursday, Ukraine's Elina Svitolina comfortably defeated American Venus Williams 6-2 6-1, setting up a meeting with Spain's Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza, who beat Ashleigh Barty of Australia 6-0 3-6 6-2.
The search of a 19-acre site at Coghalstown, County Meath, began almost a year ago.
Mr Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk who later joined the IRA, was abducted in west Belfast in August 1972.
His niece Maria Lynskey said she was "bitterly disappointed" that her uncle's remains had not been found.
"This year I had hope when before there was nothing and I'm grateful for that," she said.
Mr Lynskey became known as one of the so-called Disappeared; 16 people abducted and secretly buried by republicans in the 1970s and 1980s.
So far, the remains of 12 people have been recovered.
The searches for Mr Lynskey were carried out close to where the body of another IRA victim, Brendan Megraw, was found in October 2014.
During the search for Mr Lynskey, the remains were unexpectedly found of Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright, who also disappeared in 1972.
Ms Lynksey said her family had taken great comfort from that, and praised the work of the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) during the search.
The commission was established in 1999 to obtain information in strictest confidence that may lead to where the bodies are buried.
"I visited the site several times and saw how dedicated the search teams were and how hard they worked especially when the conditions were bad," she said.
"Of course I'm disappointed that Joe is not coming home to be laid to rest with his parents, but I know that the ICLVR did absolutely everything they could to find him."
Geoff Knupfer, the ICLVR's lead forensic scientist and investigator, said his team shared Ms Lynskey's disappointment.
"When we brought the team of forensic archaeologists and contractors on to the site to start the invasive phase of the search in March, we had good reason to believe we were in the right place," he said.
"Like Maria we believe the information we were working from was given in good faith but clearly it was incomplete.
"We know that more information about the events of over 40 years ago is still out there.
"Once again I emphasise that all information is treated in the strictest confidence and that anyone who supplies it can do so in the certain knowledge that their identity will never be revealed to anyone else."
Operation Kalmyk looked at computer hacking offences in relation to suspected business espionage.
As part of Kalmyk, which began in 2011, 22 people were interviewed under caution, 15 of them under arrest.
The Crown Prosecution Service has now told Met Police there was insufficient evidence for any convictions.
The Met had been consulting with the CPS throughout the course of the Operation Kalmyk investigation, which looked into the investigator's alleged offences that were said to have been carried out on behalf of other clients.
The CPS has said it considered charging 15 suspects under the Computer Misuse Act.
But on Wednesday, it said that had not been possible because the alleged offences were said to have been committed between 2005 and 2007, when the law included a six-month time limit for starting a prosecution.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds says the high-profile inquiry was triggered in 2011 by a BBC Panorama investigation.
This alleged a private investigator had obtained access to emails belonging to a soldier, Ian Hurst, who worked in army intelligence in Northern Ireland.
The programme claimed two private investigators targeted Mr Hurst because of secrets he was keeping dating back to his time working with an undercover unit that handled IRA informers.
Panorama said the hacking was ordered by Alex Marunchak, an executive at the News of the World.
Mr Marunchak, who was arrested and questioned as part of the computer hacking inquiry said he was "relieved for my family who have been through an awful lot while this witch-hunt has been going on".
He added: "It's a monumental waste of money. I imagine Scotland Yard has got better things to spend money on than that."
Alleged hacking victim Mr Hurst has immediately asked the CPS to review its decision not to prosecute.
He claimed police became aware he had been targeted in 2006, rather than 2011, as a result of a surveillance operation examining possible police corruption.
Mr Hurst also said action could have been taken much earlier, avoiding any time limit and resulting in a prosecution.
The Metropolitan Police said in response: "In 2006, intelligence was received during a sensitive investigation.
"The intelligence was recorded but not acted upon. We have not been able to find any documented decision-making as to why no action was taken."
The force said no further details could be given "due to the circumstances of the intelligence being received".
Operation Kalmyk was investigated as part of Operation Tuleta, which began in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal and is being run by the Metropolitan Police.
Police said the CPS decided there was sufficient evidence to charge one person with an offence contrary to the Fraud Act but that it would not be in the public interest to do so.
The Met said in a statement that it understood that the complainants may be "very disappointed" by the decision.
"However, we respect and fully appreciate the CPS's decision and recognise that in this case there were complex legal and evidential issues that meant there could not be a realistic prospect of conviction," it added.
Breadsall Priory Country Club, near Derby, was targeted in the early hours of Sunday.
Officers said two masked men, one armed with a hammer, entered the venue and threatened a member of staff before taking cash from the safe.
CCTV images show a suspect wearing what police describe as "distinctive underwear".
One of the suspects is said to be white, about six feet tall and of medium build. The second is described as black and about the same height and build.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Derbyshire Police.
The chance encounter in the naval port town of Yokosuka was documented on Twitter by user T-Kum, in a tweet that went viral.
"I came here to play KanColle but it looks like the real sailors are already here," he wrote in a post that was retweeted more than 30,000 times.
A hugely popular web browser game available only in Japan, it is part of the Kantai Collection franchise which has spawned multiple manga novels as well as an animated television series.
But to fans and military history buffs, its appeal lies in the characters: anime schoolgirls named after actual naval warships.
The Twitter user spoke to the BBC of his surprise as he walked into the arcade but also at how his post subsequently went viral.
"I took the photo in a games arcade in Yokosuka. I went in, as I often do, just to pass the time, and I found them in the ships games corner," he said, adding that he thought they must be sailors in training.
"It's not rare to see people in uniform in this town ... but I just thought it was a nice moment that they were sharing, spending what little free time they have relaxing like that, so I took the photo and posted it, making sure not to show their faces."
"I didn't expect such a huge reaction. My mobile alert was going off like crazy, and I didn't know what to do."
Twitter users reacted to his post expressing excitement, with many also noting this was a sign of a country at peace.
"Seeing this makes me relieved - There's no self defence force officer who wants to go to war," commented one Twitter user. "Without peace, they cannot read comics or play games."
It was a sentiment that struck a chord with the poster.
"It's only in peacetime that soldiers and trainees can spend their leave time playing games like this, so I suppose that's what people are reacting to," he told the BBC, but added that some Self Defence Force staff are involved in anti-pirate operations and do go on active duty around the world.
"As trainees, they can enjoy their time off. But once they become full-fledged officers and go abroad on operations, I hope they can still return home to relax and have fun. I hope Japan continues to be like that."
And on the question of the central irony of sailors playing sailing games: "I can only guess but I thought maybe it's because they like ships."

Kile Straker, 23, from Armstrong Drive in Dunstall Park, is accused of knocking George Frederick Searle off his bike on 11 July in Stafford Road.
Mr Straker has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a traffic collision.
He is due to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court on 13 December.
The 24-year-old has made 12 appearances for the Iron this season but has not featured since 2 January.
The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international progressed through the youth system at Glanford Park, where he has made 173 appearances.
Canavan, who has had just one previous loan spell away from Scunthorpe, could feature against Crewe on Tuesday.

Jodie Bradshaw, who runs Free Hearts Animal Sanctuary in Tasmania state, stopped to check the dead mother wombat by the side of the road on Monday.
She spotted wriggling inside the mother's pouch and at first worried it might be maggots.
But she then saw a tiny paw pop out and realised there was a live wombat joey inside.
Ms Bradshaw's co-worker at the sanctuary, Jules Lewington, told the BBC that they wanted to encourage others to check dead animals for babies, particularly those with pouches.
A local wildlife expert named Norma Baker is now caring for the little wombat, keeping it inside her bra to maintain its body temperature.
"The best way to keep them warm when you find them is to do exactly that, put them inside the shirt," Ms Lewington said.
"It helps to keep them in there to transfer body warmth and it's as good a place as any.
"[Norma] will keep the wombat in that same spot 24 hours a day."
Ms Lewington said the baby wombat had a good body weight and was eating.
"We're hopeful at this stage but there's a long way to go," she said.
Officers say they have no idea who the man was and what his links to the forgery operation might be.
Five foreigners were arrested and one police officer was shot and wounded during the operation.
Quantities of fake passports were also found at the flat in the Phra Kanong district of the city.
Bangkok police chief Sanit Mahathavorn said those arrested were three English-speaking men and a Burmese maid and her husband.
Thai media said the three English speakers were two Americans and one Briton but this was not confirmed.
Police said that during the raid one of the suspects turned from a safe he was opening and opened fired, injuring one officer.
A body of a "foreign man with blond hair" was then found inside a large freezer on the ground floor.
"His body was cut with a sharp object into six pieces, put in a black bag and brought into the freezer," the police chief told reporters.
He said the suspects were being questioned at a police station in south-west Bangkok.
BBC South-East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head says the trade in forged and stolen passports is a big business in Thailand.
The trade was highlighted after the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 two years ago, he adds, when two Iranian men on board were found to have been travelling on stolen passports bought in Thailand.

The Batley and Spen MP, 41, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on 16 June.
Thomas Mair, 52, was told by an Old Bailey judge that a provisional trial had been fixed for 14 November.
He is also charged with grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon.
Mrs Cox was attacked shortly before she was due to hold a constituency surgery.
Mr Mair, from Birstall, appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink from Belmarsh Prison.
He only spoke to confirm his name.
A plea and case management hearing is due to take place in October.
Capped 94 times, Phillips' comments come as criticism has been levelled at coach Rob Howley for failing to bring new players into the Wales team.
As they prepare to face France, Wales have capped just three new players since the 2015 World Cup, but Phillips says he understands the situation.
"You can't just blood youngsters because they are young," he said.
Since 2015, only Blues flanker Ellis Jenkins, Newport Gwent Dragons lock Cory Hill and Ospreys fly-half Sam Davies have been handed their senior debuts.
In Wales' final Six Nations clash in Paris, there have been calls for Howley to have one eye on the future and play new faces.
Instead the has stuck with the same side that beat Ireland last time out.
This comes despite Howley having a host of uncapped players in his squad in the shape of Ospreys flanker Olly Cracknell and lock Rory Thornton, Leicester fly-half Owen Williams, Scarlets wing Steffan Evans, Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt, Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies and Wasps flanker Thomas Young.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Howley has also ignored calls for Davies to start at fly-half and for Ospreys' teenager Keelan Giles to come in on the wing.
Phillips said he agreed with Howley's decision and that he believed the onus was on the young players to show they are ready for the senior side.
"There's a few guys on the verge, but those youngsters have still got to learn," Phillips told BBC Radio Wales.
"They are young and developing, but they will get their time in seasons to come. But they've got to improve in training and show Rob that they deserve to be first-choice players."
Against France, Phillips believes Howley has got his selection spot on.
He added: "It's a difficult one. In that international jersey should be the best because you are the best in the position. You should not just hand out caps willy-nilly to people.
"The development of the future is an important thing, but that needs to be done in a structured way.
"But it has been difficult because of the way things have panned out. They've looked to get the wins and back those players. The best players in Wales are playing on the field, it's as simple as that really."
The 2017 Premiership Rugby Parliamentary Community Awards recognised those who have contributed to their community programmes and those who have been transformed by them.
"It's about people positively engaging and overcoming adversity through sport," said sports minister Tracey Crouch, who was at the ceremony.
Ben Nutt is one example of that kind of positive engagement. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was four years old and struggled through school.
"No one would give him the time of day," said his mother Joanne. "All he wanted was for someone to give him a chance."
After a year at college he withdrew into himself and - by his own admission - would hardly come out of his bedroom.
But, after joining the local HITZ programme with London Irish, his confidence improved and he started to find a new purpose in life.
"For a kid with ADHD it gives you a chance to release that energy, so I think it's perfect," Ben said after picking up the BreakThru Achiever award. "I want to recommend this to anyone. Give this programme a try - it will change your life forever."
"I can see a future for my son I didn't before," added Joanne. "And that's all down to London Irish HITZ programme."
Paula Bradbury is helping others to participate in the game and was recognised for her achievements in helping to grow the women's game around Greater Manchester.
"Three years ago my daughter wanted to play rugby, but she didn't want to play with boys," explained Paula after being named Community Volunteer of the Year.
"At that point it was her and a few other girls who had brothers who played - and it went from there really."
Paula helped set up and now runs the girls' and women's teams at Winnington Park RFC near Northwich and gets involved at county level as well. She has even started playing rugby in the past year.
Todd Burge from Bath Rugby's Foundation was named the PLAY Achiever of the Year after embodying the spirit of the PLAY campaign.
Kris Tavender - who gave up his own full-time job to focus on his rugby work - was named Community Coach of the Year.
He was recognised for bringing sport to almost 600 people with a variety of disabilities through Bristol Rugby Community Foundation's Spectrum project.
And Chris Pennell picked up the Premiership Community Player of the Year award for his support of Worcester Warriors' work.
The sports minister concluded the event by congratulating all the winners and nominees "who've not only demonstrated the power of sport in benefiting communities beyond the sport itself - but also making the positive change to people's lives".
She added: "It's fitting that we celebrate the wonderful achievements of the inspirational and dedicated individuals who showcase the unique values of rugby as a tool for good throughout society."
Less than 69% of families in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea were offered their first choice, compared with 83% for London overall.
There was better news for parents in Redcar and Cleveland, where almost 98% got their first choice.
A national average for England will not be available for a couple of weeks.
Parents of three and four-year-olds have been finding out which schools their children will attend next year.
Some early figures are beginning to emerge, with the pan-London Admissions Scheme saying 103,329 pupils applied for primary school places in the capital this year - just 58 fewer than last year - "demonstrating that pressure on places remains strong".
The admissions body says more than 94% of children in London were offered places at one of their top three schools, and almost 97% at one of their top six schools.
This leaves 3% on waiting lists without a school place or allocated places at schools they had not applied for.
London Councils, which runs the admissions scheme, is urging the government to allocate sufficient funding to local authorities to fully meet the cost of providing new school places in the capital.
Outside London, the heaviest pressure to emerge so far is on school places in Reading, where just under 79% of children were offered their first choice of school.
Separately, analysis by the Teach First group has suggested the poorest families lose out in the scramble for places at the most popular primary schools.
The least wealthy families have less than half the chance of the wealthiest of sending a child to a top-rated school, according to analysis from the teacher training group.
Poorer families' children are four times more likely to be at weaker schools, according to the study.
However, the government says many more pupils are now in good or outstanding schools.
Teach First analysed data on Ofsted rankings for all schools in England and mapped it against the areas with the poorest children living in them, using an official measure of deprivation called Income Domain Affecting Children Index (IDACI)
The analysis reveals one area, Blackpool, does not have a single outstanding school, while the Isle of Wight and Thurrock have only one each.
Teach First suggests recruiting more highly qualified teachers and school leaders in poorer areas, where schools face more challenges because of greater levels of deprivation among pupils.
Its report comes as councils say they will need 336,000 more school places by 2024.
And, as the crunch in primary school provision intensifies, council leaders in some areas say the scramble for places at good schools is even more acute.
In Milton Keynes, where there are twice as many pupils going into reception as will be leaving sixth form, council leader Peter Marland says his officials are working hard to keep pace with demand.
It is one of the biggest areas for house building in England, so schools are being built to cater for the occupants of new housing.
But, he says, these schools are fast being filled up by children already living in the city, who cannot get a place nearer their homes.
Cllr Marland says not only are more children travelling further to take up school places, but those from less affluent backgrounds are at a disadvantage in an increasingly complex admissions system.
He says: "Unless schools, or someone, steps into coaching the poorest families on admissions, then it's those from affluent backgrounds that will get the good places."
The research comes as local authorities, who oversee school admissions, are informing parents where their children have been offered places.
Figures on how many parents got their chosen schools is not published nationally for several weeks, but some councils do publish interim figures earlier.
The Local Government Association says they have been striving to meet their duty to find a school place for all children in their area.
They had created an extra 300,000 primary places since 2010, but this had mostly been achieved within the 85% of primary schools that are council-maintained.
Places had been created converting non-classroom areas, increasing class sizes and diverting money away from vital school repair programmes to create more space.
Chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, Cllr Roy Perry, said: "It isn't just about a place for a child, but the right place."He also expressed concerns about how the needs of vulnerable children will be met under an education system where all schools are academies and operate outside the local authority network.
Parents are notified by their local authority of an offer of a school place, usually by email or letter.
They must accept or refuse the place within a given timeframe.
Those wishing to appeal may do so on one of three grounds:
An appeal may be prepared with the help of a solicitor or legal advisor.
It will be heard by a panel of three people, within 40 days of the appeal deadline.
The panel decides if the school's admission criteria are legal and were properly followed and will weigh up the arguments for an against allowing the appeal.
The decision can only be overturned in court.
A Department for Education spokesman said last year 95.9% of parents in England received an offer at one of their three preferred primaries last year and said its reforms would "ensure we continue to spread excellence everywhere by putting control in the hands of the teachers and school leaders who know their pupils best".
"As well as this, we are backing schemes like Teach First and the National Teaching Service to get great teachers where they are most needed," he added.
Leader of the National Union of Teachers, Christine Blower, said: "Securing a school place for your child should be a straightforward and anxiety-free process.
"Due to the complete negligence of government, however, it is not and many parents will be disappointed today."
The artwork, called Equanimity, was produced by artist Chris Levine to mark 800 years of the island's allegiance to the Crown.
The original has already been on show at the gallery as part of a tour.
Chief Minister Senator Ian Gorst will present the copy on behalf of the island to mark the Diamond Jubilee.
The work that will be given to the National Portrait Gallery is a new, more technically refined version of the original piece.
It was the product of two sittings with the monarch where more than 10,000 individual photographs were made using a tracking camera.
Senator Gorst, who is hosting an official reception in London on 21 May, said: "Equanimity is a remarkable portrait and a fitting tribute to Jersey's long-standing allegiance to the Crown."
The work will also appear on a £100 note and holographic stamp to mark the Jubilee.
Along with the official agenda at the annual trade gathering, Filipinos were talking about everything from traffic woes to the homeless, and gave some world leaders the title of #APEChotties.
One trending hashtag was #APECtado - a play on the Tagalog word "apektado" which means affected by.
The term was used widely by Manila residents to express dissatisfaction at the inconvenience caused by the summit and privileges received by delegates such as dedicated traffic lanes and faster internet speeds.
Manila's infamous traffic snarls worsened - with one woman giving birth on the pavement after her ambulance was stuck in traffic - and the disparity between the clogged public lanes and delegates' lanes quickly became the subject of ridicule online.
Some took issue with the grumbling.
"Complaining about APEC is such an uneducated thing to do, and also a tinge self-centred.... think about the good of the other two to three billion [who] are helped by this thing, and maybe suffer a little bit of inconvenience for a week," said Kaya Cosio.
Another resident Francis Asilo said: "The lives of the heads of state are more important than our conveniences. We only have our families who depend on us. They have entire nations."
But others pointed out that the source of frustration among residents stemmed from deeper issues of dissatisfaction with governance.
Kenneth Manuel pointed out, in a post that went viral, that the event showed that Filipinos "are second-class citizens in our own nation".
"If you have to suspend work and classes to avoid traffic on an international summit, it's evidence that there's something wrong with public transportation... It hurts that street lights get fixed and public cleanliness is at its maximum for this summit, but we have been so used to being patient, silently suffering, for the poor services they provide."
"We all deserve Manila at its best every day, not only when foreigners come to visit."

Filipinos were also enraged by a move by local officials to round up homeless people off the streets in the days leading up to the meet.
Human Rights Watch called it "abuse" and an attempt "to put a cynical veneer of 'cleanliness' on the city for Apec delegates". It also alleged the local government was detaining the homeless against their will.
But authorities said the move had nothing to do with the summit and was part of outreach operations to help them, and denied they were detaining people.
While authorities had done this before, most notably before the visit of Pope Francis in January, residents this time criticised the Philippine government of hypocrisy and for attempting to whitewash the capital's image.
Homeless people were also reportedly pushed out by Apec road clearances into Luneta Park in Manila.
Used to celebrity figures in politics, Filipinos revelled in a little ogling of world leaders, with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto gaining attention in particular.
The two men quickly became objects of affection with the hashtags #APEChotties and #APECbae trending on Twitter.
One particularly popular meme was comparing them to Disney princes - Mr Trudeau as Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, and Mr Nieto as Prince Charming from Sleeping Beauty.
Filipino President Benigno Aquino even acknowledged the trend, reportedly telling Mr Trudeau at a bilateral talk: "You have a lot of fans here."
Mr Aquino was not left out from the cartoon comparisons either.
Filipinos also cheered for engineer and entrepreneur Aisa Mijeno who shared the stage with US President Barack Obama and Chinese internet tycoon Jack Ma in a segment of Apec's CEO Summit.
Ms Mijeno is the founder and developer of the Sustainable Alternative Lighting (SALt) project, which aims to bring affordable and safe lighting to poor rural communities. Its key product is a lamp which uses water and salt to generate light.
Mr Ma, chairman of e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba, later offered to mentor her.
Ms Mieno's appearance quickly earned her her very own hashtag - #APECdarling.

Sylwia Ciapcinska went missing last July and her remains were found in Burton-upon-Trent in September.
Birmingham Crown Court was told she lived at the same address in Ash Street in Burton as her alleged killer, 29-year-old Pole Tomasz Sobczak.
Mr Sobczak denies the murder of the 24-year-old university graduate.
Prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC said Ms Ciapcinska, known as Magda, was reported missing after her friends went to her home on 28 July.
The suitcase was spotted on 17 September by three passers-by "poking out of a bush" by the River Trent in an area known locally as The Washlands.
One of the group unzipped the case and noticed a pair of broken spectacles before two other men joined them and the case was fully opened.
Mr Sobczak was already in custody charged with murder when the body was found, the court was told.
The trial continues.
The release was announced by a Ukrainian defence ministry adviser, Vasyliy Budik, who said three were soldiers and the fourth a civilian.
On Friday, rebels freed 146 prisoners for 222 people held by the government, in the biggest such swap to date.
President Petro Poroshenko greeted those freed on Friday at an airport.
Elsewhere, Ukraine has frozen vital bus and rail links with Crimea, its southern peninsula annexed by Russia in March.
Crimea has no land corridor to Russia, and relies on a ferry in the Azov Sea and flights from Russia.
The latest moves come ahead of the traditional holiday season in the region, when people travel to be with their families for New Year.
The releases are part of a 12-point peace plan agreed in September, which also included a ceasefire. Fighting continues, however, and more than 1,300 people have died since the truce was announced.
The latest releases took place without any rebels being freed in return, Mr Budik wrote on his Facebook page (in Russian).
He added that the three soldiers had spent around four months in captivity after being captured at Luhansk airport. The fourth person freed was the head of a factory security guard service, he said.
According to the defence adviser, a further 10-12 Ukrainians could be freed shortly.
Friday's prisoner exchange took place near the town of Avdiyivka, about 35km (22 miles) north of Donetsk.
Ukrainian and Russian media showed rows of men in civilian clothes standing on a road, supervised by armed men.
Among the rebels released by the government are a number of civilians from eastern Ukraine, detained as suspected rebel sympathisers, according to the pro-rebel Donetsk News Agency.
Those released include 35 women, the same source said.
The rebel leadership in Donetsk region has appealed to observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Red Cross to investigate allegations of maltreatment by the Ukrainian authorities.
Inconclusive talks were held this week in Minsk, Belarus, on ending the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which has claimed 4,700 lives.
Ukraine accuses Russia of actively supporting the militants with Russian soldiers and heavy artillery.
The Kremlin denies this but says its regular forces are fighting in eastern Ukraine as volunteers.
People queued at railway stations in Crimea on Saturday to return unused train tickets.
Col Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's security council, told reporters on Saturday that the freeze on public transport traffic to Crimea was expected to be only a temporary security measure.
The Crimean peninsula - which is also heavily dependent on Ukraine's power supplies - has also seen blackouts in recent days.
Kiev says it has to limit supplies, because Ukraine itself is experiencing power shortages.
The world's two largest credit and debit card companies, Visa and Mastercard, have said they can no longer support bank cards being used in Crimea, following fresh US sanctions imposed this month.
Russian media reported that a number of people in Crimea on Friday were unable to withdraw cash or pay for goods bought in local supermarkets.
Ukraine: The human cost

A study found the gangs were not hierarchical, organised criminal groups but friends that had grown up in the same area.
It suggested violence was an "accepted part of their lives".
The research looked at 60 members of 21 city gangs and was carried out by Johanne Miller from the University of the West of Scotland.
She spent weeks working with the participants as part of a PhD.
She said: "The process that emerged from participants was that young people aged between four and 12 began playing in the few streets that made up their scheme - a council-built estate - and began from a young age to be socialised into street culture.
"These children have grown up hearing stories of territorial rivals and the crimes they enact.
"So within the child's conscious there is a known enemy, an 'other' out there who is already a threat in their minds.
"They would begin absorbing street culture transmitted through story-telling and observations of older children in the area and family members.
"They would adopt the gang name, start using it and decide whether they wanted to fight or not. This is how they grew into the gang.
"This violence then becomes more serious for core members, and conflict becomes a central binding agent of the gang."
Ms Miller said her research revealed that between the ages of 14 and 18, gang members spent four to six hours each day on the street, and longer at weekends.
They mostly occupied derelict buildings, parking lots, abandoned houses and factories and forests, with fighting taking place away from CCTV or regular police patrols, she added.
The research revealed a fight could start if a member entered another gang's territory and shouted their scheme's name.
"Territorialism is the conflict that creates tensions between other groups, and it separates and divides them from other young people and eventually traps them into their scheme through fear of reprisal," she added.
However, it was found that members drifted away from a gang after about three years, with every participant saying they wanted to progress to get a job and many expressing a "real fear" they would turn out to be worthless.
Ms Miller will talk about her research findings at the British Sociological Association's annual conference in Glasgow.
Jenny Palmer was replying to a Facebook comment expressing surprise she had not brought a "refugee" home from a Somme commemoration event in France.
"I have 2 dogs don't need anymore thank you," she wrote.
On Tuesday, Mrs Palmer said the comments "do not reflect my own views" and apologised for any hurt her "careless words" may have caused.
She had been on a coach trip to the Somme with a man who posted an image of a bus being inspected at France's Channel Tunnel, with a post including an offensive, racist word.
In reply to that post, another Facebook user suggested that the Lagan Valley MLA might have brought some refugees home to Northern Ireland after the trip.
Ms Palmer replied: "I have 2 dogs don't need anymore thank you William Houston lol".
When challenged by another Facebook user, the MLA explained that her intention had been misunderstood.
She said it was "perhaps bad grammar, just no room at 18a for anymore visitors sorry you misunderstood and will try better".
The posts have since been deleted.
In statement of apology released to the BBC's Nolan Show on Tuesday, Mrs Palmer said:
"I would like first of all to apologise for any hurt that my careless words may have caused. These comments and actions do not reflect my own views.
"My words, made in reply to a Facebook comment, were intended as a joking remark regarding the busy-ness of my own home.
"The intention was to imply that between myself, my husband, our dogs and my daughter, we would struggle to accommodate anyone else.
"This was meant as a simple joke."
A UUP spokesperson said: "Jenny Palmer MLA has apologised for her comments and accepts that they were wholly inappropriate."
The spokesperson added: "We should respond to human tragedy with compassion."
This means about 7.5 million people will not be able to vote for a woman.

There are six seats in Wales and five seats in Scotland without a woman on the ballot.
The other 93 constituencies are all in England, as Northern Ireland is the only nation in the UK to have a female candidate in every constituency.
Within England, there are big regional differences in the number of seats being contested by at least one woman.
London comes closest to providing the option, with only 8% of seats not meeting the criteria - while in the West Midlands more than a quarter of all seats being contested lack female representation.
Northern Ireland also has the highest average for female candidates per seat - with 34 standing across the 18 seats available.
Overall, the 104 seats without female candidates is a fall from 2015 - then there were 124 seats across England, Scotland and Wales with no female contenders.
But there is one seat where it is impossible to elect a man to Parliament: Glasgow Central has four names on the ballot list - and they are all female.
The last time an all-female line-up was reported was in the 1992 contest in Lewisham Deptford between three women.

The National Union of Teachers' report says pupils are developing stress-related conditions linked to testing.
Based on a survey of 8,000 teachers and a review of research, the report says drilling for tests has narrowed what children are learning.
The government said it is determined to ensure every child is able to realise their potential.
The report, Exam Factories? The Impact of Accountability Measures on Children and Young People, by Prof Merryn Hutchings of London Metropolitan University, says pupils' emotional health and wellbeing is suffering because of "high-stakes testing".
These are the national tests, exams and progress measures which the government uses to hold schools to account.
Most teachers surveyed for the report agreed pupils became "very stressed/anxious in the time leading up to Sats/public examinations".
One teacher said: "You just see them sat there, a 10- or 11-year-old kid in complete meltdown."
Another said: "I have just had a child off school for three days because he was so worried about his recent test result and didn't want to take any more tests."
Lucie Russell, director of campaigns at mental health charity Young Minds, which backed the report, said: "Both pupils and teachers are under a lot of pressure to achieve results in a pressure cooker, exam factory environment.
"Many of the young people Young Minds works with say that they feel completely defined by their grades and that this is very detrimental to their wellbeing and self-esteem."
According to the report, the tests affect both able and less able pupils similarly.
One secondary school special-needs co-ordinator said: "The higher ability [pupils], and the ones with the very supportive or pushy parents, are receiving higher levels of stress because of how much is being expected of them.
"I think the lower end or those with maybe less supportive parents as well are suffering from the fact that they are not being given a curriculum that suits them."
The report also argued the focus on testing was harming pupil-teacher relationships, with teachers less able to view pupils in the round.
One junior school teacher said: "I am in danger of seeing them more in terms of what colour they are in my pupils' list eg are they red (below expectation), green (above expectation) or purples (Pupil Premium) - rather than as individuals."
Kevin Courtney, deputy general-secretary of the NUT, said: "Teachers at the sharp end are saying this loud and clear, 'If it isn't relevant to a test then it is not seen as a priority.'
"The whole culture of a school has become geared towards meeting government targets and Ofsted expectations. As this report shows, schools are on the verge of becoming 'exam factories'."
He argued the accountability agenda was "damaging children's experience of education", which should be joyful and leave them with "a thirst for knowledge for the rest of their lives".
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "Part of our commitment to social justice is the determination to ensure every child is given an education that allows them realise their potential.
"That's why we are raising standards with a rigorous new curriculum, world class exams and new accountability system that rewards those schools which help every child to achieve their best."
Ofqual is scrapping home economics, citizenship studies and communication and culture A-levels.
GCSEs in catering, digital communications, expressive arts and home economics are also being axed.
Ofqual said it based its decisions on whether the subjects "were of an appropriate level of academic demand".
A number of educationalists have expressed dismay at the rise of media studies as an academic subject.
When he was a Labour education minister, David Blunkett, publicly regretted that too many youngsters were taking "narrow" courses like media studies, instead of studying, what he saw as, broader, more intellectually rewarding courses such as history.
The announcement on future exam subjects comes amid a shake-up of examinations, with new strengthened GCSEs in maths, English and English literature due to be taught first in schools this coming September.
A range of core A and AS-levels in English, maths, the sciences and some humanities subjects are also due to be introduced in the autumn.
All GCSEs and A-levels are based on core content for each subject. That core content is determined by the Department for Education following public consultation.
When deciding which subjects to keep, Ofqual asked examination boards to demonstrate that they would be meeting this core content for each subject.
If they could not persuade Ofqual they could do this, then the subject would not be continued at present.
Ofqual also sought to reduce the doubling up of subjects and content in qualifications.
For example, as home economics is dropped, a new GCSE in cooking and nutrition is due to be taught in schools from 2016.
Chief exams regulator Glenys Stacey said: "It is now for the Department for Education to consider whether content can be developed for those subjects that we think could meet our principles and, in turn, for exam boards to decide whether to submit specifications to us for accreditation.
"Importantly, we are not ruling out the future development of any subject."
AS and A-levels being scrapped: Anthropology, applied arts and design, applied business, applied information and communication technology, applied science, citizenships, communications, communications and culture, economics and culture, home economics, human biology, humanities.
GCSE subjects being scrapped: Additional and further additional science, additional applied science, applied business, applied science, business and communication systems, business studies and economics, catering, digital communications, environmental science, expressive arts, home economics - food and nutrition.
The woman, in her 60s, approached the pair outside Waitrose, in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, and said the girl should be in her pushchair.
She then picked the girl up, put her in the chair, and slapped her around the face when she started to cry.
Northamptonshire Police appealed for witnesses to the attack, which happened at about 10:00 BST on 27 April.
The attacker is described as white, about 5ft 4in (1.62m) in height, with a slim build and black, frizzy, long hair.
She was wearing bright red lipstick, a black coat, black trousers and boots. | A South Korean company has acquired Argyll-based wind turbine infrastructure firm Wind Towers Scotland (WTS).

Governing body Athletics Kenya will conduct more doping tests, including out of competition checks.
President Isaiah Kiplagat told the BBC agents and coaches could be banned for life and face criminal prosecution should their athletes fail tests.
At least 38 Kenyan athletes are believed to have failed drug tests.
The new rules have been released ahead of three-time Boston Marathon champion Rita Jeptoo's appearance before an Athletics Kenya Doping commission.
Jeptoo, 33, failed an out of competition test in September and is among a dozen Kenyan athletes under investigation for doping. Her case will be heard in Nairobi on Thursday.
Kiplagat said moving forward, no athlete would be allowed to compete in any event without proper registration with the federation.
"If an athlete is found culpable, they will be banned in accordance with the new rules - which extend to four years," he said.
"Agents will also be removed and they must be sanctioned.
"In fact for agents it's easier, because if you're the one who injected or found to have been contributing towards persuading the athletes to take banned substances, that's a criminal offence.
"While athletes can be banned for four years, agents can go to jail."
Elite athletes will also be issued with biological passports to test their blood and urine samples monthly.
Agents, managers and coaches will also be required to register with Athletics Kenya and provide a list of all athletes they manage or coach.
A Ministry of Justice memo said the scheme - less expensive than prison - should be used "as fully as possible".
But the BBC's Danny Shaw said the public would want reassurance that security was not compromised.
The running of the Bail Accommodation and Support Service was taken over this month by private firm Stonham.
The company took up the contract from another private firm, ClearSprings, which ran more than 200 centres in England and Wales.
In a memo to prison governors and probation chiefs, the Ministry of Justice said it expected the new contractor to make changes to allow referrals to the service and prison releases to "increase".
Officials from Stonham confirmed 740 beds would be made available.
The bail hostel service houses prisoners freed early on electronic tags, offenders serving community sentences and defendants awaiting trial.
Q&A: Bail accommodation
Critics, including the National Association of Probation Officers, have condemned the practice of using private firms to run bail hostels amid fears over supervision standards.
But a Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said bail accommodation prevented people from "needlessly and unjustly being held in prison".
"They are not hostels, these properties are private accommodation maintained by a contractor.
"People living in these properties receive individually tailored support from a visiting support officer to help them maintain the terms of their bail or licence conditions.
"If someone requires strict supervision, they would not be eligible to stay in these properties.
"There are no plans to change the strict eligibility criteria. No-one with a conviction or current allegation of a sexual offence will be eligible.
"Those who are believed to pose a high risk of harm, or who pose an unacceptable risk to other residents, neighbours or any other person will also continue to be excluded," she said.
The number of properties was determined by local need, and the scheme aimed to house people near their place of work and, where appropriate, close to family and friends, she added.
The ministry awarded the contract to ClearSprings in 2007, paying it £5.8m in 2008-09 to manage bail accommodation.
The prison population in England and Wales reached a record high in April, exceeding 85,000.
The Foreign Office is advising against all travel to north Sinai and all but essential travel to the rest of Egypt, with the exception of Red Sea resorts.
It comes as protesters loyal to ousted President Mohammed Morsi continue to clash with security forces.
Meanwhile, supporters of Mr Morsi have been demonstrating outside the Egyptian embassy in London for a second day.
About 200 people gathered outside the building in Knightsbridge on Saturday.
And nearby about 50 cars emblazoned with slogans including "stop the murder" and "pro-democracy" took part in a procession, with occupants of the vehicles waving Egyptian flags and giving peace signs.
In Egypt's capital Cairo on Saturday, there was heavy gunfire at a mosque, during a stand-off with barricaded Muslim Brotherhood supporters who want Mr Morsi reinstated.
Tear gas was fired into the building, and witnesses saw live ammunition fired by both sides.
Security forces say the al-Fath mosque has now been evacuated and many of the protesters who refused to leave were arrested.
A crackdown on protest camps in Cairo on Wednesday left hundreds of people dead. Further clashes on Friday killed at least another 173 people.
A state of emergency is in force, including a dusk-to-dawn curfew.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokesman said on Friday: "We remain deeply concerned about the situation in Egypt and deplore the further loss of life today. The UK continues to call for an end to violence and for a return to peaceful dialogue.
"FCO ministers remain actively engaged in support of these objectives with their regional and international counterparts."
Earlier, Foreign Secretary William Hague discussed the situation with Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"We will continue to work closely with our EU and international partners over the coming days in our ongoing efforts to help the Egyptian people achieve peace and a return to democratic processes," the FCO spokesman added.
The Foreign Office said the overall level of its travel advice remained unchanged and advised British nationals in Egypt or planning to travel to Egypt to regularly check the advice.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande have called for an emergency meeting of European Union foreign ministers on Egypt.
In a telephone call on Friday, the two leaders said the EU needed to consider what it could do to persuade both sides to end the violence and speak to each other.
Timeline: Pro-Morsi protests
A Downing Street spokesman said: "They agreed that the EU should be clear and united in its message; the violence must end immediately and there needs to be a political dialogue, involving all sides, that leads to genuine democracy.
"The prime minister and president said they wanted a meeting of EU foreign ministers to be called for next week.
"They should consider what measures the EU can take to make clear that the violence and repression is unacceptable and to best encourage leaders from all sides to re-engage in dialogue and to chart a peaceful way forward for their country."
Mr Cameron also raised the issue of Egypt with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso during a telephone call about the border situation between Gibraltar and Spain.
Conservative Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the former Foreign Secretary, told the BBC that the Egyptian nation was "divided down the middle" and called for power sharing.
He said: "You think of Northern Ireland, for example, where at the end of the day everyone agreed you could not get peace by simply allowing whoever won the election to have total power; you had to have power sharing.
"It's not surprising that only a year after the end of the Mubarak regime, people still haven't understood what's needed, even in a democratic system, even when you have free elections."
Most of Friday's reported deaths in Egypt were in Cairo but about 25 were elsewhere, including 12 in Nile Delta cities.
Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood said there would be a week of daily rallies across Egypt.
Alaa Mohamed, a spokeswoman from the group British Egyptians for Democracy, told BBC Radio 5 live that "extreme force" had been used against peaceful protesters.
But Egypt's interior ministry said police had been authorised to use live ammunition "within a legal framework".
Grimsby striker Padraig Amond sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot to level the tie and send the semi-final into extra-time.
Braintree were reduced to 10 men as Mark Phillips saw a second yellow card.
And Omar Bogle's header from a free-kick after 110 minutes secured Grimsby a place at Wembley on 15 May.
The Mariners have reached the play-offs for four consecutive years after being relegated from the Football League in 2010, but this is only the second time they have reached the final.
They lost to Bristol Rovers on penalties in 2015.
In front of a crowd of 3,102, the biggest at Cressing Road since 1952, the visitors troubled the Braintree defence as Jon Nolan shot over from distance and Bogle dragged a 20-yard effort wide.
Sam Habergham fired high over the bar for part-timers Braintree but they were stretched with 10 men and were outpaced by Grimsby going forward.
The visitors reached 444 with Ajmal Shahzad (35) and Steve Magoffin (41) providing valuable support for Brown.
Shahzad then took 3-54 alongside Matt Hobden (2-55) as Hampshire collapsed from 47-0 to 63-5 before lunch.
A vital partnership of 109 between Sean Ervine (57 not out) and Chris Wood (48) provided some resistance as Hampshire reached 220-9 at the close of play.
Earlier, Brown struck 17 fours in his excellent innings as Sussex plundered valuable lower order runs before he was eventually left stranded as spinner Danny Briggs (4-74) took the remaining wickets.
Paceman Shahzad, who is making his Sussex debut, triggered the hosts' batting collapse when he trapped Michael Carberry lbw before adding the wickets of Will Smith and Jimmy Adams.
James Vince (37) looked at ease but Steve Magoffin (2-43) found his outside edge as wickets continued to fall.
After Briggs' dismissal in the final over of the day, Hampshire will resume on the third morning still needing 71 runs to avoid the follow-on.
Sussex batsman Ben Brown:
"There are always nerves starting the season as a batsman, but to get a big score is a great feeling.
"We were going for a few runs and they looked set but we have that kind of attack that can blast people out."
Hampshire first-team coach Dale Benkenstein:
"We found it really tough to get them out. I think the extra pace and aggression they showed is something we need to learn from.
"There was a glimmer of hope with the partnership which is great to see as we could have been close to 100 all-out.
"The sooner you have days like this the better, we now know what we are up against in Division One. "
As I crunch over heathland in search of the elusive insect, the song fills the air, as if conjured up by a magician.
My companion, Mike Coates, the warden here at RSPB Farnham Heath, beams with delight.
Earlier, before setting out for the reserve, he'd warned me that the insects are rare, and might not perform on cue.
"It's not so much looking, we're going to be listening mostly for the sound of male field crickets chirruping in order to attract a mate," he explained, over a mug of tea in the staff portacabin.
"It's just a brilliant noise. It's like summer translated into sound - it's fantastic."
The song of the field cricket was once a familiar soundtrack on the heaths and grasslands of south east England.
However, the sound has fallen silent in many parts of the country.
The 18th Century naturalist, Gilbert White, wrote of "field-crickets shrill on the verge of the forest" in his diaries.
Here, not far from the village of Selbourne in Hampshire, where White lived, the insects were once common.
The founding father of British natural history writing recorded in 1791: "May 29: The race of field crickets, which burrowed in the short Lythe (a field near Selbourne), and used to make such an agreeable shrilling noise the summer long, seems to be extinct.
"The boys, I believe, found the method of probing their holes with the stalks of grasses, and so fetched them out and destroyed them."
Today the field cricket, Gryllus campestris, faces threats beyond torturous children.
In the last century, changes in land management and loss of natural habitat have led to a dramatic decline of the insect across northern Europe.
By the 1980s in the UK, field cricket numbers had dropped to fewer than 100 individuals, all found only in one location in West Sussex.
A decade later, conservationists began catching young field crickets and moving them to new sites across Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire in a bid to save them.
Mike Coates says nowhere near enough people get to hear the sound of the male singing cricket, as there are probably only eight populations left in the UK.
"Extinction is something tragic," he says. "These things have been around, they've been part of people's lives here, they've been written about, they've been significant in that way for centuries.
"Are we really going to be the generation that loses them? That would be appalling."
The project to move young crickets to new areas is showing signs of success.
A colony of around 300 has become established from only 12 individuals, within five years, at the RSPB's Farnham Heath reserve. This has become one of the largest field cricket populations in England.
The aim is to establish a second population next to the Rural Life Centre in Tilford, Surrey.
In May, conservationists from the RSPB moved a small number of crickets to the new site.
Using a technique known as "tickling", the young field crickets, known as nymphs, were tempted to leave their burrows and then captured.
"We want to get them translocated and a new population established in a part of our reserve here that's open to the public," explains Mike Coates.
"So, that lots more people get the chance to hear this wonderful noise and to find out more about these fascinating little insects."
The male's courtship song is made up of normal chirps or trills alternating with high-pitched chirps given when a female is nearby.
"They sit there and they produce this fantastic chirruping noise," he says. "The females listen out and think, 'Hmm I don't like the sound of him, not so fussed about him, Oh he sounds interesting'.
"And, then the females will go out and go to the burrow of the males that they find the most appealing, and then the females will lay eggs."
The young larvae, called nymphs, hatch and develop over the late summer and autumn. They then dig a burrow to hibernate, while the adults die-off.
In the spring, the nymphs emerge, to start the cycle over again.
Hayley, a volunteer at the reserve, is helping to survey the singing male crickets.
"I think it's just restoring things back to how they should be," she says.
"It's part of the life cycle. These [crickets] will be food for other animals, which are native to this area, and it will bring other local animals back and really restore the heath to its former glory."

Bemis says the positions, in IT and and finance, will be created over the next five years at its new business centre in Campsie.
The company makes flexible and rigid plastic packaging for food, consumer products and pharmaceutical companies around the world.
It already has a healthcare packaging manufacturing facility in Campsie.
Recruitment for the jobs has already begun and will continue over the next few years.
Invest NI said the company has been offered £695,000 of government funding to help with recruitment and a pre-employment training programme, based at the Northwest Regional College.
Invest NI CEO Alastair Hamilton said: "Bemis Company makes a valuable contribution to Northern Ireland's vibrant Life Sciences industry, employing over 200 staff at its manufacturing facility.
"This investment to establish its European Business Services Centre here is a significant coup."
Marty Scaminaci, of Bemis', said: "Establishing our European Business Services Centre is a strategic investment to help drive efficiencies and standardise our processes.
"We have successfully operated a manufacturing facility in Northern Ireland since 1996, and know it to be a great location to do business."
GlenWyvis Distillery Community Benefit Society is having the building constructed on a hillside near Dingwall.
Contractors are now working on adding the exterior walls.
The distillery's copper stills for making spirit could be installed later this month.
A crowdfunding appeal last year saw 2,600 people invest in the project.
A new share offer to gather further support is to be launched at the Black Isle Show at Muir of Ord on 3 August.
The man is in a critical condition after collapsing inside the Warehouse nightclub in Doncaster, police said.
Tablets, thought be a form of ecstasy, were found in his possession and witnesses said he took something.
A 32-year-old man was also taken to hospital but discharged after it was reported he took similar tablets.
Both men had been at the nightclub.
South Yorkshire Police warned anyone who bought tablets in Doncaster on Friday they may be dangerous.
The second man had also been in the Warehouse.
Det Sgt Andy Knowles said: "We believe these tablets may be some form of ecstasy, but this has not yet been confirmed.
"They may well be home made and could be extremely harmful."
PhonepayPlus is the UK's regulator of premium rate services including some apps, voting on TV talent shows, directory inquiries and more.
It told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours that there were "problems" with some subscription services.
It is working on proposals to tighten the rules.
You and Yours has heard from listeners who said they had been signed up for these services without their knowledge.
One of those - Jim - found out his 12-year-old son was receiving premium rate texts which contained adult content, at a total cost of more than £340. The texts were sent weekly, and each one cost a couple of pounds.
"In August 2015, my son who was aged 12 at the time, was sent a random text from a company, and he was inquisitive and he clicked on the link, didn't know what it was, and by clicking on this link, he subscribed to an adult content site, which were then going to send him four texts every month for the foreseeable future," said Jim.
"Unfortunately, I only found this out a year later when I went to renew his contract at Vodafone.
"I was absolutely appalled as a dad and shocked that this could happen. I should have checked my bills, but it was cleverly done. The way these companies had sent these text messages was like a drip-feed into the account, so there was no sudden spike and I had not picked it up."
Jim said he was appalled at the lack of regulation in the industry.
Simon Towler, director of policy and external relations at PhonepayPlus, said strict rules were in place for the way these services should be operating.
"In the particular case of adult services, in addition to our code of practice, we have special conditions and they should not be sent to 12-year-olds," he said in response to Jim's case.
"A phone is a dumb piece of technology. The service provider does not know that the person at the end of it is a 12-year-old.
"There is age verification when people sign up for a contract, so in this particular instance, it is very likely, particularly with a 12-year-old, that the person who was down as the bill payer, the person owning the phone, was in fact over 18."
Jim was paying the bill, but the phone was registered in his son's name.
A spokesman for Vodafone said: "We are sorry that the customer has had this experience. We are contacting the third-party companies selling premium-rate content to ensure that the customer's number is no longer subscribed and we will be refunding the customer in full."
PhonepayPlus regularly monitors companies to ensure they are keeping to its code of practice.
"There is clearly a problem with some of these subscription services," Mr Towler said.
"The vast majority of services are operated in a compliant way, people do like to enter these competitions, and things like that.
"We are in the process of discussions with the industry, and we are going to be issuing a consultation later this month about some possible additional protections, specifically relating to these types of services."
Anyone charged for a premium rate text which they do not remember signing up for, can usually text STOP to the number to end the subscription. The advice is also to contact the service provider and report it to the regulator PhonepayPlus.
The Association of British Commuters (ABC) took legal action over what it described as the Southern "fiasco".
The government has said it will not be publishing any new reports on Southern.
It said an independent report published last week made it clear the responsibility for disruption was "primarily caused" by strike action.
Southern, owned by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with the unions over driver-only operated trains.
The Department for Transport said the Gibb report made it clear "the responsibility for disruption... was primarily caused by industrial action led by RMT and Aslef and exceptional levels of staff sick leave."
It added: "We have been considering whether the extensive disruption to the line last year was entirely beyond GTR's control and our decision was due to be communicated to the company imminently.
"We are more than happy to inform GTR of the verdict within the 14 days required by the judge."
The ruling comes as the drivers' union, Aslef, began a new overtime ban.
Clive Sheldon speaking for the transport secretary said Chris Grayling was "fully aware" of the inconvenience being caused to Southern's 300,000 passengers.
Southern has been forced to introduced a revised timetable axing about a quarter of services affecting services in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.
Before the hearing, Summer Dean, of ABC, said: "Passengers are the only people who still don't have a voice in this fiasco, and many thousands of them support us in our efforts to reveal the truth behind the Department for Transport's involvement in Southern Rail."
ABC said ministers acted unlawfully by failing to determine whether managers had breached franchise obligations.
The incident happened just after 19:30 on Tuesday at the junction of Chambers Street and South Bridge.
The roads were closed for about an hour.
The man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, suffering from whiplash.
At one stage on Bonfire Night, the fire service said half its resources "were deployed at once".
The girl, 14, needed hospital treatment for a left eye injury in Pitt Street, Oldham.
Other incidents saw youths throwing fireworks at firefighters in Salford, and cars set alight.
Elsewhere in the country, a senior police officer in Essex has said fireworks were fired at officers and at Basildon police station.
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service said hundreds of "frightened and concerned" people reported a variety of incidents.
Between 20:00 and 21:00 GMT the service received more than one call per minute, with a total of 300 calls between 15:00 and 22:00 GMT - an increase of 20% on last year.
By midnight, another 50 calls had come in, and fire crews were still attending bonfire-related incidents until after 06:00 GMT.
A spokesman said: "In the most shocking incidents, firefighters came under fire themselves. In particular they withdrew from Orient Street in Salford when youths hurled fireworks at them as they tried to extinguish a fire in a suspected stolen car."
Councillor David Acton, chairman of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, condemned those who caused disruption.
"It is unacceptable behaviour and those responsible should be ashamed," he said.
The injured girl's condition has not been confirmed.
In Essex, no damage or injuries were caused, Insp Rob Brettell said.
Essex Fire Service said it dealt with more than 70 incidents between 17:00 and 23:00 GMT on Saturday.
The 20-year-old Dons academy graduate has made 22 appearances for the Buckinghamshire side's first team.
He has also spent time on loan at Oxford, Aldershot and Oldham.
"I'm delighted to get Giorgio's deal extended. I hope he will continue to progress and realise his full potential in the coming season and beyond," said boss Robbie Neilson.
It comes as Washington is continuing to evaluate last week's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi by the army.
US massive military aid to Cairo would have to be cut by law if the removal of the Islamist leader is determined by Washington to have been a coup.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which backs Mr Morsi, is demanding his reinstatement.
Its supporters have been staging mass protests near Cairo's barracks, where he is believed to be being held. On Monday, more than 50 Brotherhood loyalists were killed in clashes with the army.
The new authorities have not said where Mr Morsi is, but a foreign ministry spokesman said he was in a "safe place" and being treated in a "very dignified manner".
The US officials say Washington will deliver four F-16 fighter jets in the next few weeks.
They are part of an already agreed bigger order of 20 planes - eight of which were sent to Egypt in January. The final eight are expected to be shipped later this year.
Egypt authorities accused of cover-up
Egypt clashes: Divided views
Is Egypt heading for holy war?
Lessons of the Arab Spring protests
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday reiterated that it would not be "in the best interests of the United States to make immediate changes to our assistance programmes".
He added that the administration would take its time to consider the implications of removing Mr Morsi from power.
US military aid to Egypt is estimated to be $1.3bn (£860m) each year.
President Barack Obama has been careful not to use the word "coup" in relation to events in Egypt, the BBC's Katy Watson in Washington reports, as doing so would trigger the legal requirement to cut off aid.
On Wednesday, arrest warrants were issued for the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and nine other senior figures in the movement.
They are charged with inciting Monday's deadly violence in the capital, in which more than 50 Brotherhood supporters, a soldier and two policemen died.
The Brotherhood says the army fired on peaceful demonstrators and it is accusing the interim authorities of a cover up. The military, however, say soldiers acted in self-defence after being attacked by armed assailants.
Many Brotherhood members are already in detention and warrants are said to have been issued for hundreds more.
Correspondents say the new warrants could scupper any attempts to persuade the Brotherhood - banned for decades under former President Hosni Mubarak - to participate in the transitional political process.
The timetable for new elections was announced in a constitutional declaration by interim President Adly Mansour on Monday evening. It laid out plans to set up a panel to amend the suspended constitution within 15 days.
The changes would then be put to a referendum - to be organised within four months - which would pave the way for parliamentary elections, possibly in early 2014.
Once the new parliament convenes, elections would be called to appoint a new president.
Key players in the Egyptian crisis
Profile: Hazem el-Beblawi
Q&A: Egypt in turmoil
The Brotherhood has rejected the transition plan and its political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), has said it will turn down a post in the cabinet being formed by the interim Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi.
Mr Beblawi said on Thursday that he had not ruled out offering posts to the FJP.
"I don't look at political association," he told the AFP news agency.
"I'm taking two criteria for the next government. Efficiency and credibility."
The main liberal opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front (NSF), and the grassroots Tamarod protest movement, which co-ordinated the anti-Morsi protests, said they were not consulted on the decree and have concerns about it.
Robert Buczek killed Eleanor Whitelaw, known as Norah, by stabbing her seven times in the neck with a pair of scissors at her house in Morningside.
The pensioner died in hospital 17 days later.
After the verdict it emerged Buczek already had a previous conviction for assaulting and robbing another pensioner - when he was only 14.
Sentence on the Polish national, who had denied murdering Mrs Whitelaw in her home on Morningside Grove on 11 July last year, was deferred until next month.
The jury of 10 men and five women returned a unanimous guilty verdict.
Judge Lord Matthews told Buczek: "You have been found guilty - frankly unsurprising given the evidence - of the brutal murder of a vulnerable, elderly woman in her own home.
"This was a revolting crime."
Prosecutor Alex Prentice QC told how in 2005, Buczek knocked over an 82-year-old woman in Poland and took her handbag containing money.
Mr Prentice said Mrs Whitelaw's death had left her family "deeply distressed".
The advocate depute said: "She leaves her husband, children and wider family.
"They have explained that this death was particularly painful in that it occurred in the house where they grew up."
The court had earlier heard how Mrs Whitelaw fell to the ground fracturing her skull during the attack.
Labourer Buczek then dragged her along the hallway and dumped her in another room.
He then prowled round the house rummaging in cupboards and drawers before leaving with an envelope of stamps and a box containing spoons.
The trial heard from forensic experts who found DNA matching Buczek's on a pair of bloodstained scissors and a water bottle.
Giving evidence last week, the 24-year-old told the jury he had never been to the house and had "no idea" why the scissors and bottle with his DNA were found there.
"I've never been there in my life and I never attacked that woman in her house," he said. "I've never in my life hurt a woman."
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a brutal and sustained attack on an elderly lady in her own home and our dedicated enquiry team worked tirelessly to trace the perpetrator.
"Now that Robert Buczek has been convicted, I hope the family of Eleanor Whitelaw will be left with some closure."
The 27-year-old, who spent the past two years on loan at Roma, signed a four-year deal with the Italian champions.
The Poland international played 38 times for Roma last season and kept 14 clean sheets - the most in Serie A.
"When you come to Juve, it's because you've been chosen. I had no hesitation," said Szczesny, who made 132 appearances for Arsenal in eight years at the club.
"I'm ready for a new challenge - Juventus is the best choice for the next stage of my career."
Szczesny said he had already spoken to Juve number one Gianluigi Buffon, who he described as "a legend in our game".
"I'm really happy to be here," he added. "I'm not feeling any pressure. I'm here to represent the club at the highest level."

The statement from Republican Senator Richard Burr, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, dismissed Donald Trump's claim his phones were tapped.
Mr Trump had accused his predecessor Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the presidential race.
But White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Mr Trump maintains his claims.
"He stands by it," Mr Spicer said at a daily news briefing on Thursday.
The press secretary refused to accept the Senate Intelligence Committee report, saying "they're not findings".
Mr Spicer quoted at length from an unproven Fox News report suggesting Mr Obama had dodged US restrictions by asking Britain's GCHQ electronic surveillance agency to monitor Mr Trump, an allegation already dismissed as "utterly ridiculous" by the Cheltenham-based complex.
Mr Burr joins a cadre of Republican lawmakers who have rejected the allegation.
"Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016" Mr Burr said in a joint statement with Senator Mark Warner, the committee's vice-chairman.
Earlier on Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan also said "no such wiretap existed".
Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee Devin Nunes said on Wednesday he doesn't believe "there was an actual tap of Trump Tower".
But that has not deterred Mr Trump, who on Wednesday told Fox News a "wiretap covers a lot of different things".
He also hinted that more details about the alleged surveillance could be revealed in the coming weeks.
"Wiretap covers a lot of different things. I think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks," he said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday night.
Mr Trump echoed comments from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who said the president used the word "wiretap" in quotes to broadly refer to "surveillance and other activities".
The White House has yet to provide any evidence of the president's claims, and instead has asked Congress to examine the allegation as part of a wider investigation into alleged Russian interference in last year's election.
The couple and their families are said to be "absolutely thrilled and delighted with the news".
Jason Kenny and Laura Trott couple got married last September although Laura admitted to Newsround that it wasn't necessarily love at first sight.
Jason is the joint record holder (along with Sir Chris Hoy) of the most gold medals won by any British athlete. He's won six track Olympic gold medals, including three at last summer's Olympic games in Rio.
Laura is the first woman in British history to win four Olympic gold medals.
With those two as parents we'd say there's a pretty good chance their baby may become a star of the future!
According to the US Geological Survey, the quake's epicentre was in the northern province of Badakhshan, close to the Pakistani and Tajik borders.
It is not clear if there were any casualties in the area itself, but at least 17 people were injured in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Hundreds were killed by a quake in the same area on 26 October.
Residents in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, were reported to have run into the streets after feeling the impact of the quake.
In Peshawar some old homes and walls collapsed, Hamid Nawaz, the head of Pakistan's disaster management authority, told AP.
The region has a history of powerful earthquakes caused by the northward collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. They are moving towards each other at a rate of 4-5cm per year.
In 2005, a magnitude 7.6 quake in Pakistan-administered Kashmir left more than 75,000 people dead.
In April this year, Nepal suffered its worst earthquake on record with 9,000 people killed and about 900,000 homes damaged or destroyed.
Mr Santos told the Farc they must focus and reach an agreement on the outstanding negotiating points in order to sign a peace accord on 23 March.
For the first time since the process began, he indicated that the talks would not go ahead beyond that date.
The negotiations are aimed at ending more than five decades of conflict.
They were launched in Havana in November 2012.
Since then, agreement has been reached on the political participation of the rebels, land reform, drug trafficking and transitional justice.
But with five weeks to go until the agreed deadline, there are still disagreements over some issues of the disarmament process and implementation of the accord.
"The time for finishing the negotiations is running out," said Mr Santos.
"If that doesn't happen, we, Colombians, will conclude that the Farc was not prepared for peace," he said during a visit to the northern department of La Guajira.
Mr Santos also accused Farc leaders of breaching the terms of the negotiations by holding a rally in the same area on Thursday in the presence of armed guerrillas.
"That was a big blow to confidence in the negotiations and to confidence of Colombians on the process," he added.
The public event was attended by top Farc commanders Ivan Marquez, Jesus Santrich and Joaquin Gomez.
In a statement, the Farc minimised the government's reaction to the rally, describing it as "unjustified controversy".
If an agreement is signed in Havana on 23 March, it will be submitted to a referendum by the Colombian people.
Should it be rejected, there will be no peace with the rebels, said Mr Santos.
The deadline was first mentioned when Mr Santos travelled to Havana on 23 September and shook hands with the Farc leader, Rodrigo Londono Echeverri, known as Timochenko.
More than 220,000 people have been killed and millions have been displaced in unrest which began in the 1960s and has also involved other guerrilla groups and right-wing paramilitaries.
Joginder Singh, 41, of Cherry Orchard Road, Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, was filmed hitting his pet in October, which caused the Staffordshire bull terrier's ribs to puncture its lungs.
When RSPCA officers went to his home, the animal could not move and vets feared he would not survive.
Singh admitted causing unnecessary suffering the dog, now called Samson, and failing to meet his needs.
Singh was also banned from keeping animals for 10 years, by magistrates in Birmingham.
RSPCA inspector Mike Scargill, said Singh was seen repeatedly hitting the dog in a completely "unprovoked attack".
"At the vets, it was found that his ribs had punctured his lung. The poor dog was in such a lot of pain and he was in a bad way - we didn't think he was going to make it.
"But thankfully he is doing fantastically now. He is in our care and he has been getting a lot of love and affection.
"Today he is a happy and lively dog. It is hard to believe that he is the same dog which I had to carry into my van eight months ago."
The British Medical Association said the government had "rowed back" on promises, and the CEO of Sainsbury's said the plan did not go far enough.
MP Sarah Wollaston said the plan showed "the hand of big industry lobbyists", but a minister said it was "ambitious".
Measures include a voluntary target to cut sugar in children's food and drink.
The plan asks the food and drink industry to cut 5% of the sugar in products popular with children over the next year.
It says the ultimate target is a 20% sugar cut, with Public Health England monitoring voluntary progress over the next four years.
The plan also calls on primary schools to deliver at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day and to help parents and carers ensure children get the same amount at home.

How much sugar is hiding in your food?
School sports will also get more funds - boosted by a tax on sugary drinks to come into force in 2018.
The childhood obesity strategy also says:
Much of the response to the government's childhood obesity plan has been critical.
Even one of the big supermarket chains has suggested it does not go far enough.
Mike Coupe, chief executive of Sainsbury's, says there should be a tougher regime including compulsory targets for sugar and mandatory traffic light labelling.
The government plan involves a voluntary 20% sugar reduction scheme.
Theresa May seems to have concluded that the sugar levy on soft drinks - announced in the Budget in March - was enough government intervention.
Health organisations and campaigners are almost universally of the view there should have been wider action.
Some, though, acknowledge that the package unveiled today, including a boost for school sport, is a step in the right direction, albeit a small one.

Dr Wollaston - who is chairwoman of the health select committee - said it was "really disappointing" that "whole sections from the original draft have been dropped", including measures on advertising junk food to children and on promotions such as two-for-one deals.
She told BBC Radio 5 Live that these could have made a "real difference really quickly", and added: "I'm afraid it does show the hand of big industry lobbyists and that's really disappointing."
She welcomed measures on cutting sugar in foods and keeping the tax on sugary drinks, but said it would be some time before these took effect.
Referring to Prime Minister Theresa May's pledge to tackle heath inequality, Dr Wollaston said the government should not make such promises then - as the "first litmus test of that" - put the "interests of advertising marketers ahead of the interests of children".
Labour's Dianne Abbott tweeted: "Theresa May has given in to food & drink industry at the expense of our children's health."
But Jane Ellison, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said the plan was the "most ambitious programme of reformulation that any developed country has taken".
Ms Ellison, who was formerly the public health minister involved in drawing up the strategy, said the government was acting on the "best advice" from public health experts.
Asked about concerns the government had "watered down" the proposals to limit junk food advertising, she said the UK already had some of the "toughest restrictions in the world".
A Department of Health spokeswoman added: "The childhood obesity crisis has been decades in the making and it will take years to sort it. We will measure progress carefully and are not ruling out further action if results are not seen."
Professor Parveen Kumar, chairwoman of the British Medical Association's board of science, said the government had "rowed back on its promises by announcing what looks like a weak plan rather than the robust strategy it promised".
"Although the government proposes targets for food companies to reduce the level of sugar in their products, the fact that these are voluntary and not backed up by regulation, renders them pointless," she said.
TV chef and food campaigner Jamie Oliver said he was "in shock" at the "disappointing" plan.
"It contains a few nice ideas, but so much is missing," he wrote on Facebook.
"It was set to be one of the most important health initiatives of our time, but look at the words used - 'should, might, we encourage' - too much of it is voluntary, suggestive, where are the mandatory points?"
The Obesity Health Alliance - a coalition of 33 charities, medical royal colleges and campaign groups - said the plan fell "disappointingly short of what is needed", with some anticipated measures "significantly watered down or removed entirely".
Sir Harpal Kumar, chief executive of the charity Cancer Research UK, said the measures were a "missed opportunity" in the fight against childhood obesity.
Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said it was "disappointing" that a number of measures that it had called for - such as giving councils the power to ban junk food adverts near schools - had not been included.
Mike Coupe, chief executive of Sainsbury's, said the plan was a "welcome first step".
But he said: "We need a holistic approach to tackle childhood obesity, including compulsory measured targets across all nutrients - not just sugar - and mandatory traffic light labelling across all food and drink products, regardless of whether they are consumed inside or outside the home."
Ian Wright, of the Food and Drink Federation, said: "Soft drink companies are already making great progress to reduce sugars from their products, having achieved a 16% reduction between 2012 and 2016.
"Indeed, many individual manufacturers have a proud track record of reformulation to remove salt, fat and sugar from food and drinks and this work will continue."
He said the target to reduce sugar was "flawed" because it focused on "the role of this single nutrient, when obesity is caused by excess calories from any nutrient".
Gavin Partington, of the British Soft Drinks Association, said his industry had been "singled out" by the "punitive" tax on sugary drinks.
He called for more "holistic" policy on obesity which did not "pick on one category".
Vaughan Gething told BBC Wales that the NHS will have to confront "difficult challenges" within the first part of the assembly term.
Mr Gething said there were "big gains" to be made in quality, and that service change was not just about money.
An extra £240m was announced for the NHS in the Welsh budget last month.
Total Welsh Government spending is to rise by 2.7% to £14.95bn in 2017/18.
Ministers have faced opposition in previous years over proposals to change some NHS services - such as over the moving of maternity care from Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen.
On Wednesday, Mr Gething told The Wales Report on BBC One: "Local politicians often get dragged in to try to stand up for a service model that doesn't really deliver the sort of efficiency and quality that all of our citizens should be entitled to expect.
"That level of innovation and reform has to be delivered otherwise we don't get to the point we can make those really difficult choices, if we ever have to, about money driving different choices in health care.
"But we're not there yet."
When asked if "difficult, tough choices" would have to be made soon, Mr Gething said: "I'd prefer it to happen within this term."
He said he had been "really clear" with the health service about his expectations that "some of those difficult challenges are confronted and dealt within the first part of this term".
"That requires a conversation within and between clinicians and a conversation with the public about why services will change," he said.
"Because there's a really big gain to be made there, its not just about money. There's really big gains there in quality, outcomes and patient experience."
He said part of the challenge is "how we understand, in a hospital setting, does every hospital need to do what it does at the moment?"
"This is difficult for the public," he said. "Because often when we talk about moving services around, when a health board proposes, either on its own or with another health board partners to change the pattern of services, people instantly think this is about money, even if it is really about quality."
Mr Gething warned that discussions would have to be had over the "limits of the health service" if there was no change in position from the UK government on public finances.
"If we don't see a broader investment... then we could end up in a position where we have to have an incredibly difficult conversation about the limits of the health service and money being the driver, not simply about how we make best use of money", he said.

Simon Hamilton told the BBC he would rather negotiate with clinicians.
Mr Hamilton said he would prefer this to imposing something that may create division.
Junior doctors in Northern Ireland did not strike although they supported those in England who did.
They have been closely monitoring the situation.
Mr Hamilton told the BBC: "I don't want to impose a contract. Right from the start I've been saying that the best solution here is a negotiated solution and that's what I want to see happen and I'm disappointed that it hasn't happened.
"I also await something that is just in development at this minute in time - I want to see how the BMA also responds to it and I think that will be crucial.
"I want to work with the BMA and junior doctor representatives in Northern Ireland to find the solution that is right for Northern Ireland."
The BMA has said it is considering all options as the dispute threatens to escalate.
The 28-year-old was dismissed in the second half for a late challenge on former team-mate Ashley Young.
He will now be available for the Boxing Day trip to Swansea City.
But Aston Villa have been charged with failing to "ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" following the incident.
The club have until 18:00 GMT on 30 December to respond.
Had Agbonlahor's appeal against his red card been unsuccessful, he would have been banned for three matches.
He was speaking as the capital marked the first anniversary of the clashes between protesters and police which toppled ex-President Viktor Yanukovych.
A top Kremlin aide, Vladislav Surkov, had organised snipers, he alleged.
The Russian government hit back at the claim, calling it "nonsense".
More than 100 people died in the violence on Kiev's central Independence Square, known as the Maidan, a year ago.
The anti-Yanukovych revolt was called the "EuroMaidan revolution", as huge crowds demanded a pact with the EU.
In a speech at the Maidan on Friday, President Poroshenko condemned the insurgency by pro-Russian rebels in the east.
Earlier, he told Maidan victims' relatives that, according to Ukrainian state security, "the Russian presidential aide Vladislav Surkov led the organisation of groups of foreign snipers on the Maidan".
The claim was first made by the head of Ukraine's security services on Thursday.
Mr Poroshenko was speaking just two days after his army retreated from the key town of Debaltseve, now in rebel hands.
Ukraine, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. Moscow denies this, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".
Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said more than 20 Russian tanks, 10 missile systems and busloads of troops had entered Ukraine in the past 24 hours, heading for Novoazovsk, a rebel-held town on the coast. The report has not been confirmed.
The Maidan ceremony included poetry, a choir singing the national anthem, and a performance of Mozart's Requiem by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine.
Mr Yanukovych - a political ally of Moscow - fled into exile in late February 2014, but soon resurfaced in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
He said he had been ousted in an "illegal coup" and lambasted the "fascists" who had taken power in Kiev.
For weeks in the winter of 2013-2014 the Maidan was a vast campsite populated by EuroMaidan protesters, who kept police at bay with barricades and burning tyres.
Most of those killed in the clashes were shot by snipers, and some uniformed police were filmed firing at protesters.

Maidan was a breathtaking scene on Friday night - lit by thousands of candles and covered flowers to honour those who died here last winter.
The crowd chanted "Glory to Ukraine!" and "Glory to heroes!" before falling silent as the orchestra played Mozart's Requiem and projectors rose into the sky from the spots where each protester was killed.
Emotions were high. Many people we talked to couldn't contain their tears as they laid carnations and tulips on makeshift shrines.
"We will never forget these people," said Olena from Kiev. "We will come here every year."
"This is not a celebration. This is a day to remember," said Igor, who was wounded at Maidan last year.
The untold story of the Maidan massacre
Mr Poroshenko said on Friday that phone records obtained by Ukrainian state security showed a direct Russian state role in the shootings. Those records, he said, revealed "conversations between Yanukovych and Russian state security officials.
"They prepared for the shooting together, in advance."
Russia's foreign ministry spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich, said Mr Poroshenko had been duped by his security aides.
"Ukraine's investigative and security services have things to be getting on with. But at the moment, instead of carrying out investigations, they're exploiting people's deaths and putting out nonsense worthy only of a mental hospital," he said.
Shelling continues to mar a ceasefire for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk on 12 February.
An intense rebel bombardment forced some 2,500 government troops to retreat from Debaltseve on Wednesday, and dozens of others surrendered.
The village of Chernukhino, near Debaltseve, is now in rebel hands too, according to the Kiev-appointed governor of Luhansk region, Gennadiy Moskal.
US Vice President Joe Biden condemned the rebel offensive on Debaltseve in a phone call with Mr Poroshenko on Friday.
The White House said he also discussed options for "effective monitoring" of the ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons.
On Wednesday, President Poroshenko called for UN peacekeepers to be deployed to eastern Ukraine to enforce the ceasefire.

The streets of Debaltseve were mostly quiet and mostly deserted as we entered the city for the first time since intense fighting ended.
Those civilians still holed up in the city, who have been without water, gas and electricity since early January, were slowly emerging from shelters to see what was left of their homes.
But there were more rebels than civilians, with convoys of victorious separatists returning from the recent clashes.
Evidence of the fighting was littered across the roads and we spotted the bodies of two Ukrainian solders that had been lying in the cold for three days.
Poroshenko bruised by army retreat
The 300ft-high (91m) pile of rotting debris had shifted after floods and a fire then collapsed on Friday.
At least 40 homes on the edge of the dump were destroyed. The army said an unknown number of people were missing.
There had been concerns over the safety of the site in Colombo, with residents demanding it be cleared.
The AFP news agency said about 800 tonnes of waste were added to the Meethotamulla dump every day, and that the government had planned to remove it.
"We heard a massive sound. It was like thunder," one resident, Kularathna, told the Reuters news agency. "Tiles in our house got cracked. Black water started coming in."
The collapse occurred as many people were marking Aluth Avurudda, or the Sinhalese New Year, a major public holiday across Sri Lanka.
Emergency officials told the BBC that up to 20 people may remain buried in their houses, with the Sri Lankan army now co-ordinating the recovery.
One disaster emergency official told AFP the death toll would have been higher had many people not left their homes after the fire at the dump, hours before the collapse.
One government minister, Harsha De Silva, said in a statement that no more rubbish would be dumped at the site, and would instead be placed in two other sites.
It is not clear when the decision is made. Footage filmed by the BBC on Saturday showed people continuing to dump rubbish at Meethotamulla.
Mr De Silva said residents had been advised to leave because of the risk of landslides.
"It's unfortunate that even though payments had been made for those families under risk of landslides to move out some had not done so. They had even been advised to leave as recently as two days ago," he said.
Last month, a landslide at a rubbish dump in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, killed at least 113 people.
There were reports English Defence League supporters clashed with anti-Jubilee protesters during the demonstration, which started at noon.
Police said one man suffered a slight injury when fireworks were set off.
No arrests were made, but police patrols remained in the area throughout the day and night.
A police spokesman said: "The protest, although vocal, was largely peaceful.
"There was one incident reported to police at around 3.15pm of two fireworks going off among a crowd of people. One man sustained a slight injury and police are investigating."
Labour peer Lord Falconer's bid to introduce legislation ran out of time before the general election.
Now Labour MP Rob Marris will attempt to steer a bill through the Commons.
The Wolverhampton South West MP won a private member's bill ballot last week guaranteeing time in the chamber for backbench legislation.
But the bill's chances of becoming law received an instant setback when Downing Street said it would not be given government time in the Commons.
David Cameron's view on assisted dying had not changed, said the PM's official spokesman and he was "not convinced that further steps need to be taken".
Mr Cameron was "concerned that legislation may push people into things they do not actually want for themselves", added the spokesman, but it was an "issue of individual conscience, for Parliament to decide".
Patients with no more than six months to live and who had demonstrated a "clear and settled intention" to end their lives would be prescribed a lethal dose of drugs on the authority of two doctors, under the proposed new law.
The bill is expected to be debated on 11 September. Mr Marris said it could give MPs the first vote on the issue since 1997.
He said: "The public are clearly in favour of a change in the law and it is right that Parliament now debates this issue.
"Alongside the vast majority of the public, I am in favour of terminally-ill people who are of sound mind having choice at the end of life.
"It is a choice that I would want for myself and I do not think we should be denying this to people who are facing an imminent death.
"The House of Commons has not voted on this issue for almost 20 years.
"While the prospects of getting the law changed are difficult without official government support, this is an opportunity to show we in Parliament are not ducking our responsibility to the public and I look forward to continuing the case for a compassionate assisted dying law."
Campaigners in favour of a change in the law claim MPs can not ignore the fact that UK citizens are travelling to Swiss euthanasia clinic Dignitas or taking their own lives.
Sarah Wootton, chief executive of campaign group Dignity in Dying, said: "It is great news that the House of Commons will now begin a debate on assisted dying which the public demand but have been denied because of parliamentary procedure.
"I welcome Rob Marris's commitment to show compassion to dying people and give choice at the end of life."
Lord Falconer, now the shadow justice secretary, said he was grateful to Mr Marris for "continuing the campaign" to change the law.
But Agnes Fletcher director of campaign group Living and Dying Well, said the proposed law was open to abuse, with elderly or gravely ill people feeling pressured into ending their lives because they felt there were being a "burden" to their families.
Doctors also found it difficult to predict with accuracy how long someone had to live, she told BBC Two's The Daily Politics.
A private member's bill is one of the few chances ordinary backbench MPs get to create legislation.
The vast majority of new laws originate from the government of the day.
Few private member's bills become law due to the lack of time in the Parliamentary calendar and the annual ballot is always fiercely contested. | A chronology of key events:

The schoolgirl's body was found in the River Brent on 30 September, nearly a month after she went missing. A post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and more tests are being carried out.
Arnis Zalkalns - the prime suspect in the killing - was found hanged in a west London park on Saturday.
The hearing is set to be adjourned while police investigations continue.
Mr Zalkalns, a convicted murderer, was last seen on 3 September at his home in Ealing.
The 41-year-old Latvian builder was filmed on CCTV cycling along the Grand Union Canal path 15 minutes after Alice walked along it on 28 August.
He had served seven years in prison in his native country for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death before moving to the UK in 2007.
Police said significant efforts had been made to conceal Alice's body.
The hunt for Alice, from Hanwell, west London, was the largest Met Police search operation since the 7/7 terrorist bombings in 2005, involving 600 officers from eight forces.
Officers searched at least 25 sq km (10 sq miles) of open land and 5.5km (3 miles) of canals and rivers. | An inquest into the death of 14-year-old Alice Gross is to open at West London Coroner's Court on Friday. | 29,522,721 | 270 | 30 | false |
Ozcan Eren, 31, of Wood Green and Eren Hayser, 25, of Enfield deny trying to help free Izzet Eren using an imitation Uzi machine gun last year.
However, a police bug inside one of the plotters' cars linked the defendants to the escape attempt, the Crown said.
Met Police shot dead Jermaine Baker, 28, while trying to foil the plot.
The trial will not consider the facts of Mr Baker's shooting.
Izzet Eren was on remand from HMP Wormwood Scrubs accused of gun offences and had arranged for a gang to spring him from a prison van en-route to Wood Green Crown Court for sentencing, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
Jurors heard the prisoner hatched the escape plot from his cell using a contraband mobile phone and the attempted breakout took place on 11 December, in what Prosecutor Jonathan Polnay described as a carefully thought out and professional crime.
The Crown alleges in the months before the breakout bid a car was stolen and left in a car park near Wood Green Crown Court. Police installed a listening device in this car and placed it under surveillance.
On the morning of the escape attempt, the car was picked up by three men, Jermaine Baker, Nathan Mason and Gokay Sogucakli, who were parked in a side road near the court, jurors heard.
Ozcan Eren and Eren Hayser were parked nearby and were overheard by the police bug directing the plot at this point, according to the prosecution, who said mobile phone records also showed Ozcan Eren rang the others from his phone. Eren Hayser then tried to call his co-conspirators, which linked the pair to the escape plot, the Crown claimed.
Izzet Eren hoped the break out would help him avoid a lengthy prison sentence, the court heard.
Izzet Eren, Nathan Mason and Gokay Sogucakli, all of Tottenham, have previously pleaded guilty to conspiring in the escape plot and conspiring to carry an imitation firearm with criminal intent.
The trial continues.
It is hoped 5,700 pupils aged 14 and over will spend up to four hours a week on the subject in a five-year pilot.

A Commons committee last week warned that a skills shortage was undermining confidence in the UK's cyber defences.
The risk that criminals or foreign powers might hack into critical UK computer systems is now ranked as one of the top four threats to national security.
Russia in particular is suspected of planning sustained attacks on Western targets.
Cyber security is a fast-growing industry, employing 58,000 experts, the government says, but the Public Accounts Committee has warned it is proving difficult to recruit people with the right skills.
UK's cyber security defences questioned
Russian hacks 'aim to destabilise the West'
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is providing £20m for the lessons, which will be designed to fit around pupils' current courses and exams.
Digital and Culture Minister Matt Hancock said: "This forward-thinking programme will see thousands of the best and brightest young minds given the opportunity to learn cutting-edge cyber security skills alongside their secondary school studies.
"We are determined to prepare Britain for the challenges it faces now and in the future and these extra-curricular clubs will help identify and inspire future talent."
The government is already providing university funding and work placements for promising students.
An apprenticeship scheme has also begun to support key employers to train and recruit young people aged 16 or over who have a "natural flair for problem-solving" and are "passionate about technology".
Steve Elder, 20, who is a cyber security apprentice with BT, told BBC Radio 5 Live that educating young people about the risks and vulnerabilities of the cyber security world would help the UK prepare for the future.
He added: "Getting young people involved and getting them taught from a young age will allow them - even in their home environment - to protect themselves, before it has to come to people at a specialist level."
Mr Hancock told the BBC he wanted to ensure the UK "had the pipeline of talent" it would need.
Cyber security expert Brian Lord, a former deputy director at GCHQ, told BBC Breakfast that the scheme was an "essential initiative" to recruit more people into the profession.
He added: "There is perception that cyber security is all about techno geeks who have long hair, glasses, wear heavy metal t-shirts and drink red bull.
"There are those, and they do an extraordinarily good job. But there is a whole range of other activities... that can appeal to a wide cross section of children, graduates and apprentices, and at the moment they don't know what [is on] offer.
"The more exposure [children] can get [the more it will] prepare them for a future career and, as that generation needs to understand how to be safe online, you get a double benefit."

French prosecutors said 150 Russians were behind the most serious clashes before Saturday's 1-1 draw between the two sides in Marseille.

Three days of clashes between supporters led up to England's opening fixture with Russia, and police have deployed tear gas to disperse football fans on a number of occasions. Russian supporters then charged a group of England fans inside the stadium at the final whistle.
Six England fans were jailed on Monday for the part they played in disturbances, while a total of 20 people have been arrested - including two Russians, for invading the pitch.
However, 150 "extremely well-trained" Russian hooligans "prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action" have not been arrested.
About 35 people have been injured, four seriously. England fan Andrew Bache, 50, from Portsmouth, is in a coma after being beaten around the head by Russians armed with iron bars.
Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Russian football federation, but not the English Football Association (FA).

FA chief executive Martin Glenn said he is treating Uefa's warning with "utmost seriousness", while Russia sports minister Vitaly Mutko said European football's governing body had "done the right thing" to start an investigation.
However, Russian MP Igor Lebedev criticised French police and called on Russian football fans to "keep up the good work", saying there was "nothing wrong with football fans fighting".
David Davies, who was FA executive director during Euro 2000, told BBC Sport: "A team has never been as close as it is today to being thrown out of a major tournament.
"In 2000, we were just looking at what went on inside the stadia. Uefa are now looking at what goes on in the streets outside too.
"They are also under huge pressure to act decisively because of the threat of terrorism that the French authorities are already facing."
Sanctions against Russia will be decided at a disciplinary meeting on Tuesday, Uefa said.
Uefa handed Russia a six-point deduction suspended for three and a half years for supporters' behaviour during Euro 2012 - a penalty that would have applied to any breaches during Euro 2016 qualifying.
Russia were punished three times during the tournament four years ago for fans' actions, which included setting off and throwing fireworks, displaying illicit banners and a pitch invasion.
There were also clashes between Russia and Poland fans in the build-up to their match at Euro 2012, with 120 people arrested and 10 injured in Warsaw.
The French government will ban alcohol in "sensitive areas" and the UK has offered to send more police.
Russia's next match against Slovakia will take place in Lille on Wednesday - the day before England face Wales, just 24 miles away in Lens.
Kevin Miles, of the Football Supporters' Federation, told BBC Breakfast he was "very concerned" by the prospect of a repeat incident in Lille.
"There have been no arrests, no protection of the English fans and those Russians who have been involved over the last few days will feel free to travel to Lille and probably think they'll get away with it again," Miles said.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for football policing, said England fans should "not retaliate to provocation and seek help from police if you are harassed or attacked".
Meanwhile, the FA of Wales has asked its own supporters without tickets to avoid Lens and Lille. FAW national security officer Wayne Nash said: "With the fact Russia play Slovakia the day before, I'm cognisant of what happened on the weekend."
Police from England and Wales will hold talks with the prefect of Lens and Uefa's head of security on Tuesday.

Fans attending Euro 2016 contacted Sportsday using #bbcsportsday to share their experiences.
Some have been caught up in the crowd trouble, while others have not seen any sign of it.
Nottingham Forest fan Becky Gamester-Newton, 32, from Surrey, described scenes of "organised and unprovoked hooliganism" and said supporters needed more protection from the police.
"The police have gone in with tear gas once the attack has happened, which doesn't differentiate between the perpetrators and the victims - and in fact many of the hooligans have been equipped with masks anyway so it's actually favoured them."
James Barnett wrote: "I got tear gassed twice and charged at by about 200 Russians. I'm an accountant not a thug!"
Another fan, Andrew Armstrong, added: "Very scary, seeing that Russian gang very organised, scary to a point where I feared for our safety and families with kids."
Dominic Lissaman told Sportsday: "Walked past 20 stocky Russian men with balaclavas and batons, thankfully they didn't realise I was English, scary!"
One disgruntled fan, calling himself The Palace Addiction, was not so lucky. He wrote: "This weekend: 1) Chased by Russians 2) flight home cancelled 3) gassed by the police 4) conceded in the last minute."
Ben Johnson observed: "We've met plenty of people with stories but we have managed to miss all trouble through more luck than judgement. We were sat precisely where the Russians charged after the game but luckily left about 10 seconds before. The explosion was fairly worrying though."
But many fans have been in contact to say they have not seen any of the trouble.
Daniel Drury wrote: "Been here since Saturday morning in Marseille, not seen one punch thrown. Great atmosphere and felt safe all times."
And Ste Dooney added: "We've been in Paris since Thursday. The Eiffel Tower fan park was brilliant. Fans mingling, drinking, playing footy and no trouble."
An average of 8.9 million people watched the opening episode, which saw the return of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell to the judging panel.
This was up slightly on the 8.8 million who watched last year's launch episode.
Former Spice Girl Mel B made her debut as a judge, having filled the same role on the Australian version.
A further 400,000 people watched on the ITV+1 channel.
The second most watched programme of the night was Doctor Who on BBC One, which had an average of 5.2 million viewers. This was down more than two million on last week's episode, which was Peter Capaldi's full debut in the title role.
Simon Cowell returned to chair the X Factor judges, taking over from Gary Barlow, having launched the show back in 2004. He quit being in front of the camera in the UK in 2010 to spearhead X Factor USA, which ran for three seasons until it was axed this year.
The return of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday will see the two Saturday night big hitters go up against each other after several years of avoiding such a clash.
Strictly will go out from 20:00-21:15, while X Factor airs from 20:00-21:05.
The BBC said the overlap was unavoidable because it had scheduled Strictly to avoid clashing with an extra edition of Coronation Street.
Cowell criticised the BBC's decision, saying it would only hurt the viewers.
He said: "They say this isn't a ratings battle, it is, that's why they did it. They didn't have to put it on at the same time as us, they did and it means that people then have to make the choice where before I think it was more of a gentlemen's type agreement but it just shows as far as I'm concerned, this is personally speaking, the producers of the show for what they are.
"They don't want this show to do well, they don't want people to watch it, and our job is to do the best job we can so people prefer X Factor to them."
Correction 8 September 2014: This story has been amended to clarify the number of people watching The X Factor as it was broadcast and adds the number watching on the ITV+1 channel.
The injured suffered broken ankles and legs and one woman is still undergoing operations as a result of the accident.
Six others were treated for shock.
Temple Lifts, the operating company, admitted to two counts of breaching health and safety law on the north and south lifts.
Ten people were in the lift when it fell three metres into its service pit because a vital mechanism failed.
The lift, which usually carries around 40 people, fell as it was elevating from the ground floor and had tourists from Spain among the people in it.
Southwark Crown Court heard the company could have done more to stop the accident from happening and that the lift's design, maintenance and refurbishment were wanting.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) bought the case to court.
HSE Inspector Michael La Rose said it was a "truly disturbing" incident that could have resulted in greater injuries.
"There were warning signs here that were seemingly overlooked, and missed opportunities to properly rectify recurring faults," he said.
Mr La Rose said there were "clear failings" in how the company did its job.
The company was fined £50,000 and ordered to pay £50,000 in costs. It did not respond to requests to comment.
The latest monthly YouGov poll for ITV Wales puts Plaid Cymru ahead of the Conservatives on constituency votes with UKIP gaining ground on both.
Prof Roger Scully of Cardiff University projected Labour falling short of a majority on 28 seats based on the poll.
He projected 12 seats for Plaid Cymru, Tories 10, UKIP eight and Lib Dems two.
On constituency votes the data, compiled for the Welsh Election Study in April, put Labour on 35% (up 1% since February and March), Plaid Cymru 21% (no change since March, up two since February), Conservatives 19% (down three since February and March), UKIP 17% (up two since March, down one since February), the Liberal Democrats 6% (no change since March, up one since February) and others 3% (no change since March, up one since February).
For the regional lists, where 20 of the 60 AMs are elected using a form of proportional representation, the research has Labour on 31% (no change since February or March), Conservatives 20% (down two since February and March), Plaid Cymru 20% (down two since March, up one since February), UKIP 16% (up two since March, down four since February), the Liberal Democrats 5% (no change since March, up one since February), Greens 4% (no change since March, up one since February) and others 3% (no change since February or March).
"We see a very modest apparent strengthening of support for Labour and slightly more for UKIP, since our last poll," said Prof Scully.
"But the largest change is clearly the slide in Conservative support - and one, moreover, which builds on a further modest fall in our February barometer poll from the 23% support the party enjoyed in December."
Prof Scully said support for Labour was "far short" of where it was at the same point before the 2011 election, but added that the party still had a "big advantage" in the "divided nature of the opposition".
The incident happened on the Andersonstown Road in the west of the city.

Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the assault to contact them at Woodbourne station on the non-emergency 101 number.
Heads gathering for the union's annual conference in Birmingham are urging the government to work with them to set up a new assessment system for next year.
NAHT head Russell Hobby said primary tests no longer gave parents reliable information on children's progress.
Tests allow teachers to spot when pupils need more help, say ministers.
The NAHT highlighted issues such as a lack of time to implement the new primary curriculum and its "inappropriate content", a lack of clarity on standards and contradictory guidelines plus the late publication of materials.
It also highlighted the accidental publication of the content of the spelling, punctuation and grammar test and the cancellation of this year's planned baseline test for pupils in Reception following unsuccessful trials.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Mr Hobby said: "Testing has a role to play in the assessment of children, but the poorly designed tests and last minute-changes we have seen this year do not add value to teaching.
"Increasingly, parents and teachers agree that high-stakes statutory tests like Sats can actually make it harder to find out what children are really learning and to improve their education.
"Our conversations with parents show that they want tests and assessments which help schools understand their children - on a regular basis with lower stakes - rather than what are fast becoming high-profile high-pressure exams."
The incoming NAHT president, Kim Johnson, is to highlight, in his speech, how pressures being placed on children and young people are having an impact on their mental health.
And he will say educational funding is being used to prop up social care and health services in schools.
"The impact on our budgets is significant, yet we daily make decisions that must address well-being, basic food and clothing needs, and medical care to give some children the same start to the day that others take for granted," he will add.
The head teachers' union also plans to debate issues such as forced academisation, assessment and British values in schools, over the weekend.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "Parents rightly expect their children to leave primary school having mastered the basics of literacy and numeracy, and that is why we have tests at the end of Key Stage 2.
"A high-quality education in English - and the ability to communicate effectively - is an important part of the government's commitment to extend opportunity to all.
"All of the documents necessary for the tests and teacher assessments at Key Stage 2 have been available since September 2015.
"We have also recently published materials to support teachers making their judgements.
"We are always willing to engage in discussion with teaching unions to ensure that this transition year goes smoothly."

Mold Crown Court heard Mr Davies did not intend to kill Dr Bhambra, but acted out of "desperation" and "lost control" when he saw him.
Mr Davies, of Mold, denies attempted murder but admits wounding with intent.
The jury was previously told the attack on 14 January was revenge for the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
Mr Davies said his use of words like "white power" was disgusting and that he would like to apologise to Fusilier Rigby's family for bringing his name into it.
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were jailed for life in February 2014 for hacking the soldier to death.
Mr Davies said: "I'm disgusted with myself and ashamed.
"I look back and think 'how can I have done that to someone?' But I did... I feel very bad about it."
Asked if he could have done more harm to Dr Bhambra if he had intended, he replied: "Yes, absolutely. It had already gone too far so I stopped before any more damage was done."
He said he was "absolutely fascinated" with Islamic State and the British man known as Jihadi John, who he described as his inspiration.
The prosecutor put to him: "You are a racist at the end of the day."
Mr Davies replied: "I don't think it is that clear cut. I had contradictory extreme views, especially with my interest in Isis and National Socialism."
The trial continues.
Clement's Swansea City side visit Sunderland on Saturday as they battle to stay in the Premier League.
Welshman Congerton said Sunderland held talks in 2015 with Clement, who was eventually handed his first managerial role by Derby County in the same year.
"I think he's one of the best English coaches out there," Congerton said.
"I'm sure he'll go on to bigger and better things and hopefully that's with Swansea.
"I believe he's the guy that can keep Swansea in the Premier League."
Clement's first managerial appointment at Derby County ended with his dismissal after only eight months.
Congerton, now Celtic's head of recruitment, worked with Clement at Chelsea where Congerton was chief scout and the Londoner was part of the coaching team.
He said Clement had gained invaluable experience working as Carlo Ancelotti's assistant at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
"He'd been working with one of the best coaches in the world for a long time," Congerton told BBC Radio Wales.
"I know Paul had a desire to go on his own and he spoke with the owner at Sunderland and myself, but it wasn't to be.
"Paul stayed where he was and we went in a different direction
"He had a difficult time at Derby and I know that will make him better. Thankfully at last he's got the opportunity in the Premier League."
Swansea are a point above the Premier League relegation zone ahead of Saturday's trip to already-relegated Sunderland.
Congerton, who was Sunderland sporting director between 2014 and 2015, said he was saddened by the Black Cats' plight.
"When I arrived at Sunderland they were bottom of the league and we managed to stay up on two separate occasions," Congerton added.
"It's heartbreaking to see the club drop out. It's such a marvellous club with great fans. Hopefully now they can truly rebuild."
What was taken away from Gordon Reid was the use of his legs. A devastating blow for anybody but particularly cruel for a 12-year-old boy.
Between the ages of six and 12, Reid could often be found honing his skills on the courts of Helensburgh Lawn Tennis Club. The sport had become an important part of his life, but his life was about to change.
"I had a neurological condition in my spine called transverse myelitis, which basically left me paralysed from the waist down," Reid recalls. "I was in hospital for six months."
Reid, now 24, was determined that his life would not be shaped by his disability and that he would continue to play the sport he loved.
"For me, it was just a case of wanting to get back to living a normal life and enjoying myself as much as I could," Reid told BBC Scotland.
"I found out about wheelchair tennis when I was leaving hospital. I really just wanted to get back involved in sport because sport was such a big part of my life.
"I tried it once and loved it, loved being able to get back out on the tennis court. I think it was a big part of my rehab as well.
"It helped me gain fitness and become more active again after I had my disability. Obviously it's a huge part of my life now."
Wheelchair tennis would provide Reid with the platform to achieve more than perhaps he could ever have hoped in the sporting world, but before he tasted success, he had to work through some difficult times while facing up to life without the use of his legs.
"There were a lot of dark moments," he recalled. "I could see all my family and friends and how much it was affecting them as well.
"It was a difficult period for all of us: 12 years old is a young age for something like that to happen to you.
"So there were a lot of dark moments and periods of my life where I was quite down and finding it quite hard, but I think tennis has definitely been a big help to me and helped me overcome a lot of the hurdles that have been placed my way in life.
"Of course, because I love sport so much, I wanted to get back involved with sport as much as possible.
"I think it was just about that: making the choice of not letting the condition defeat me and just trying to turn things back around."
His existing talent and experience of tennis meant that the move into wheelchair tennis was an obvious one, but adapting to the new game was not always easy.
"It's really just about timing of moving the chair and making sure your chair is in the right position to get your body in the right position to make the shot," Reid explained.
"It was definitely a struggle at the start. It can be quite frustrating, especially when you're used to being able to just adjust your feet at the last moment or move your body position at the last moment.
"It's definitely something that takes a bit of getting used to. It's just like any other skill I suppose - the more you do it, the more you practice, the better you get at it. It just all came with time."
Reid took up the game in 2005, became the youngest ever British national singles champion in 2007 and, by 2008, he was representing Great Britain at the Paralympics in Beijing at just 16 years old.
"It was a bit of a surreal experience because one day I was in doing my Highers with my friends in school and the next day I was flying around all over the world to compete. It felt like I was leading a bit of a double life."
He would go on to represent GB again at London 2012, making the doubles quarter-finals. In 2013, he beat the world's top three players to rise to number four in the singles rankings, becoming the highest-ranked British wheelchair player in history.
A serious contender in both the singles and doubles formats, he made his Grand Slam breakthrough this year in splendid style.
The Scot partnered Shingo Kunieda of Japan to victory in the French Open doubles, his maiden Grand Slam title.
Reid teamed up with Michael Jeremiasz of France for Wimbledon and made it all the way to the final before losing in three sets to France's Nicolas Peifer and Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez.
With France's Stephane Houdet by his side, Reid added a second Grand Slam by taking the doubles title at the US Open in New York, beating Peifer and Jeremiasz.
After this week's victory at the Masters event in California alongside Jeremiasz, Reid has risen to the top of the world doubles rankings and he is determined to stay at the top of the game.
"There are only two ways you can go when you're number one," he suggested. "That's to stay there or go back down again.
"Everybody will be aiming for me and targeting me, but it's a nice pressure to have because you know you're at the top and you're the best player in the world in doubles.
"It's always been one of my main goals in my career to try and make it to number one. I never really thought it would happen this early to be honest.
"I've done it in doubles, I'll be looking to try to do it in singles as well."
Given how far he has come, you would not bet against him.
The fishing boat captain spotted the fish swimming in Honokohau harbour on Hawaii island, said a local government office.
He jumped into the water and speared the fish, but the fish then struck him in the chest, said witnesses.
Bystanders tried to resuscitate the man - Randy Llanes, 47 - but he was taken to hospital and pronounced dead.
The fish was about 3 feet (90cm) long with a bill about the same length, said the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The incident is being investigated.
West Hawaii Acting Battalion Chief John Whitman of Hawaii County's fire department said it was not the first time he had heard of billfish - which also include sailfish and marlin - fatally impaling someone.
"They are very aggressive animals," he said.
"If you mess with them, they defend themselves pretty good."
The dead man's sister-in-law reportedly told the local TV station that Mr Llanes "was a tough guy, he was such a tough guy that everyone's scared of him, the whole harbour's scared of him".
But Kalina Llanes added that those who knew him well were "not scared of him because he has such a big heart".
Undercover researchers from the consumer group contacted 14 companies that sell data.
They managed to access personal information about half a million people over the age of 50, including details about their salary and pensions.
In some cases the data was on sale for as little as 4p an item.
Such information can be instrumental in helping scammers who con people out of their pension savings, or persuade them to move money from their bank accounts.
Ten of the firms failed to carry out proper checks to see if the researchers were from a registered company, according to Which?
And it said many of the companies appeared to be in breach of guidelines from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
To share such data, companies have to show that the consumers concerned have given their full consent.
Such consent has to be "knowingly and freely given".
During its investigation, Which? found:
"Our investigation highlights that sensitive personal and financial data is being traded on a huge scale, with some companies apparently willing to sell to anyone who comes calling," said Harry Rose, Which? Money editor.
Which? advises consumers never to share their data with third parties.
The government has already announced plans to ban cold calling, even to individuals who have inadvertently opted-in to receiving marketing calls.
The new laws, announced in the Autumn budget, could see fines of up to £500,000 being levied on perpetrators.
Norwich City, Derby County and Wigan Athletic have parted company with Alex Neil, Steve McClaren and Warren Joyce respectively in the past week.
McCarthy was appointed in November 2012, and his side are currently seven points above the relegation zone.
"We've been competitive every season up until this one," he said.
"We haven't spent Aston Villa money. We haven't spent Norwich money. We haven't spent vast sums of money."
McCarthy added to BBC Radio Suffolk that the fact he is still in post confirmed that "for four years I've done a really good job here" - but that "this year it has been tough".
Last season the Tractor Boys finished seventh in the table, five points adrift of the play-off places.
Defender Christophe Berra has said that the current table suggests the team are in a relegation battle.
"Seven points isn't that big a gap. Two or three wins would ease it, but it is getting tough," he said.
Berra suggested the club's predicament could be down to a lack of spending.
"We've not made the most investments," he said. "Teams in and around us have maybe done a little bit more."
Midfielder Luke Hyam, meanwhile, has been ruled out for another six weeks after rupturing ankle ligaments in training.
Hyam, 25, has yet to play for the first team this season after previously undergoing surgery on a damaged nerve in his leg.
Cheese maker Jonathan Crump, from Gloucestershire, noticed the calf was missing on 2 September when it failed to return with its mother.
But he was "totally amazed" when the 10-day-old calf - now named Sinky - was found by ramblers in a metre-deep hole.
He said: "I never imagined a cow could live for those days without any food."
For more stories about animal rescues and lucky escapes follow BBC England's Pinterest board
The rare Gloucester calf was discovered neck deep in "quite a big hole" by walkers Dan Rawlings, 37, and Tom Lewis, 35.
Mr Rawlings said: "We were just cutting across the fields and spotted something in a hole.
"At first we thought it was a badger, but when we looked closer we realised it was a calf."
After rushing to the farmhouse to raise the alarm, they returned to find the young animal "trying to get out".
"All it needed was a little help and it got out. All the cows came running over moo-ing, so we backed off," Mr Rawlings said.
"It was lovely to see the mum and calf reunited."
Mr Crump, who has a milking herd of 35 cows near Standish, said he had searched his farm for the missing animal but had given it up for dead.
"I'm very grateful they found it. They were actually lost, so it's great they found it," he said.
Sinky, now being fed a course of electrolytes in a bid to combat dehydration, looks set to make a full recovery.
It is thought the hole was created by an underground spring.
More than 30 players from the University of Missouri team in Columbia backed the move.
This comes as one university student is continuing a hunger strike over alleged racism in the mainly white college.
In response, university president Tim Wolfe promised to tackle the problem.
In a statement, the group of black players said: "The athletes of colour on the University of Missouri football team truly believe 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'.
"We will no longer participate in any football-related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalised students' experience."
A photograph was also posted online showing the players and their coaches locking arms in a sign of solidarity.
The athletes said they were joining other protest groups at the 35,000 campus. Activists have long complained about what they describe as racial slurs and white favouritism in many aspects of campus life.
Mr Wolfe later promised to address the issues.
"It is clear to all of us that change is needed, and we appreciate the thoughtfulness and passion which have gone into the sharing of concerns," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Mr Wolfe added that the university had been working on "a systematic diversity and inclusion strategy" to be unveiled next year.
However, he did not say whether he was planning to resign.
Racial tensions boiled over in Missouri in 2014 after a white policeman killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in the town of Ferguson.
The shooting later sparked demonstrations across America against racial bias by the police.
George Hamilton was speaking after a meeting with Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt on Tuesday.
Mr Nesbitt asked for a briefing following Monday's murder before his decision on joining a new Executive.
Earlier, Stormont's political parties were given a document with the main points of a programme for government.
It was delivered in talks that lasted just minutes.
The parties are to reconvene on Thursday to give their initial response.
Speaking after the brief talks, Mr Nesbitt said the Alliance Party had been offered the Justice Ministry. In response, Alliance said Mr Nesbitt had broken an agreement of confidentiality, with Stewart Dickson calling the Ulster Unionists "flippant".
The SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood, said he believed his party was "a very long way" from a programme to which they could sign up.
So what happens next?
The parties have been given until Thursday to make a formal initial response.
That's also the day the new Assembly meets for the first time - and sets the clock ticking on a two week negotiation period. But what are they being asked to agree on?
Sources close to the negotiations describe what will eventually emerge as a "framework programme for government" which will then go out for consultation.
At the end of this year a detailed programme for government will be produced.
There'll also be a budget for the next three to four years.
And there'll be documents setting out strategies on the economy, capital investment and social policy strategy.
Sources say they've looked closely at the model in Scotland where a series of national outcomes describe what the Government wants to achieve over the next ten years.
Following last week's Northern Ireland Assembly election, he DUP maintained the total of 38 seats that it held in the last assembly, while Sinn Féin lost one and now holds 28.
The Ulster Unionists have 16 seats, and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) lost two and now have 12.
The Alliance Party secured eight seats during the election, meaning it does not have enough seats to automatically qualify for a ministerial department.
An executive will be formed when an agreement has been reached.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said the talks would be inclusive and he wanted to see all of the parties enter the new executive.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said it might be more honest if those who have previously opposed the executive from the inside now do so on the outside.
In his meeting with Mr Nesbitt on Tuesday, the chief constable said that the paramilitary assessment commissioned by the secretary of state and published on 20 October 2015 remains valid.
"Over the course of the last seven months, there have been a number of very serious crimes committed in our community.
"Significant PSNI resources have been allocated to progress the investigations into these incidents. This investigative activity nor wider intelligence to date has not indicated any change to the position reflected in the October 2015 Paramilitary Assessment."
After the meeting, Mr Nesbitt said: "The chief constable confirmed no change from the assessment given to the secretary of state last October - PIRA still exists.
"This is not surprising, but disappointing, given PIRA have drawn the roadmap that others are following. George Hamilton would not be drawn on this week's shootings, but these are serious criminal acts."
He said the chief constable's assessment did not make re-entry to the executive "any more attractive".
The Ulster Unionists have "two other tests regarding the Programme for Government," he said and expected answers in a few days' time.
Ofsted has found no improvement in the care provided by Somerset County Council's children's services department since its last inspection in June 2013.
The new report, based on an inspection in January, described a "corporate failure" to keep children safe.
The council accepted there was "an important need" to improve services.
The four-week inspection focussed on the care of the most vulnerable children in the county.
They include those who are living with their families but may be at risk of harm, children who have been taken into care and may be living with foster carers, and young people who are old enough to be leaving care.
Ofsted found there were "widespread or serious failures" which cause children to be harmed or at risk of harm.
It also identified managers who "have not been able to demonstrate sufficient understanding of failures" and have been ineffective in "prioritising, challenging and making improvements".
The high turnover of the department's directors was also criticised. Julian Wooster, who was appointed in January, is the fifth director in five years.
Mr Wooster said the outcome of the Ofsted report was "not good enough", and accepted there are "significant issues" that need to be addressed within the council and with its partners.
He apologised and said he was confident some of "the building blocks" were already in place.
The Department for Education has also told the authority to work with Essex County Council, as the Ofsted rating for its children's services department improved from "inadequate" to "good".
Chasing 261, Notts were wobbling at 84-3 before Patel (103) and Steven Mullaney's (77) unbroken stand of 181.
Lancashire were earlier restricted to 260-6 despite an unbeaten 75 from Haseeb Hameed, as Notts put in an excellent all-round bowling display.
Notts will reach the quarter-finals if they beat Northamptonshire.
Meanwhile, Lancashire must beat Durham to have any chance.
Lancashire had won their previous three games, including a thriller against Derbyshire on Friday, but were outclassed in front of a crowd in excess of 8,000 at Trent Bridge.
The visitors were squeezed in excellent batting conditions, firstly by the pace of James Pattinson and Stuart Broad, then the control of Patel's spin and Mullaney's medium pace.
An opening stand of 98 between Karl Brown and Alex Davies was compiled in only 16 overs but, after Brown drove Broad to cover for 52, Lancashire were strangled.
Hameed held the innings together with delicate touch and swiftness between the wickets, but Lancashire simply could not accelerate.
Although Ryan McLaren (42) helped Lancashire take 61 from the final six overs, their total seemed well short of being competitive, and looked even more so when Michael Lumb and Riki Wessels got stuck into the visiting bowling.
But Lancashire all-rounder Danny Lamb, on his debut in the absence of the injured Jordan Clark, removed both to drag the away side back into the contest.
However, Patel and Mullaney absorbed the pressure, then exploited a Lancashire attack that became increasingly short of options.
In the end, Patel in particular accelerated towards the finish line, the victory completed with 24 balls to spare.
Notts all-rounder Samit Patel told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I've been ticking quite nicely but just not been converting and that's been disappointing.
"I've been working hard on my game and it's now coming all together at the right time.
"We can only do what we can do against Northants but it's a massive game on Tuesday. We've got to play well to qualify."
Lancashire head coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"260 was possibly a bit light. It was a funny innings really. We worked well through the powerplay and up to the first 17 overs but then it got more difficult.
"Leicester now have a tough game against Yorkshire and Notts have a tough game against Northants.
"So all we can do is go to the Riverside and try to beat Durham and see."
About 200,000 people attended Lumiere, which saw 29 artworks illuminate Durham over four nights in November.
A report commissioned by the county council concluded it delivered almost £4m more than the 2013 event.
Cabinet members will next week be asked to agree a commissioning fee of £600,000 to bring it back in 2017.
The remainder of the estimated £1.8m cost of staging the festival would come from an Arts Council England grant, sponsorship, trusts and donations, the authority said.
Council leader Simon Henig said the 2015 event had been commissioned on the basis of its "sound economic impact which demonstrated a clear and significant return on our investment for the county, businesses and residents".
Some of the increase was linked to a "greater scrutiny of visitor spend", he said.
Adam Deathe, business engagement manager at Durham Business District, said hotels, restaurants and shops all benefited as visitors came into the city from across the North East and further afield.
"Lumiere brings national attention to Durham and hotels are booked up months in advance as people come for a couple of days at least," he said.
"Often they use the city as a base and explore the wider area as well."
First staged in the city in 2009, the festival has returned every other year, while January 2016 saw organisers, Artichoke, hold the first Lumiere London.

Peaty, who also claimed mixed relay gold earlier in the week, won gold in Tuesday's 100m final and added the 50m title as he came home in 26.66 seconds.
Ross Murdoch, who won 200m breaststroke gold on Thursday, claimed the bronze.
Earlier, Fran Halsall defended her 50m backstroke title as she broke a six-year European Championship record, while Georgia Davies won bronze.
Peaty, who also did the 50m-100m double at the world championships in Kazan last year, recorded the same time as the semi-final win after finishing strongly following a slow start.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I over-thought the start and paid for it with the time, but it's great to win," Peaty, 21, told BBC Sport.
"It's a bit slap and dash and you can put too much thought into it, which is what happened there with the start.
"But it's great to get some confidence before the Olympic Games in Rio with a win."
Halsall, who claimed the 50m backstroke title in Berlin in August 2014, won with a time of 27.57, which knocked 0.07 seconds off Aliaksandra Herasimenia's 2010 time in Budapest.
Denmark's Mie Nielsen finished second ahead of Halsall's Great Britain team-mate Davies, who came third in 27.87.
Italy's Federica Pellegrini won a fourth successive women's 200m freestyle gold. The 27-year-old, who won the Olympic title in 2008, was 0.04secs quicker than Femke Heemskerk of the Netherlands, who had led at the final turn.

The 10-day poll was held by protest group Occupy Central.
Campaigners want the public to be able to elect Hong Kong's leader, the chief executive. The Hong Kong government says the vote has no legal standing.
About 42% of voters backed a proposal allowing the public, a nominating committee, and political parties to name candidates for the top job.
Beijing has pledged that the Hong Kong public can directly choose its chief executive in the 2017 election, but only from a list of candidates selected by a nominating committee.
Activists fear China will use the committee to screen out candidates it disapproves of.
Occupy Central organised the vote for the public to decide which of three proposals - all of which involve allowing citizens to directly nominate candidates - to present to the Beijing government.
The winning proposal, put forth by the Alliance for True Democracy, allows candidates to be nominated by 35,000 registered voters, or by any political party which secured at least 5% of the vote in the last election for Hong Kong's legislative committee.
The proposal also allows a nominating committee to name candidates, and the formation of this committee should be "as democratic as it can be", reported the South China Morning Post.
The other two proposals in the referendum allowed only the public and a nominating committee to name candidates.
The voting, in polling stations or on the popvote.hk website, began on 20 June. The deadline was originally set for 22 June, but was later extended after what organisers claimed were several cyber attacks on the website.
Popvote.hk was designed by the University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Polytechnic University to measure support for Occupy Central's campaign.
Chan Kin-man, sociology professor at the University of Hong Kong and one of the founders of Occupy Central, praised the turnout and declared the referendum a success.
"It is very unexpected. It is a very encouraging sign," he said.
"I believe that people feel that our autonomy has been threatened and is going to be threatened even more by Beijing. People feel outrageous [sic outraged] and so they want to make their voice heard."
The BBC's Juliana Liu in Hong Kong says the large turnout - about one in five registered voters - sends a strong message that a significant part of the Hong Kong public is unhappy with the Chinese government's plans for reform.
Pro-Beijing groups have opposed the referendum, with one group marching through the Causeway Bay district with orange balloons urging people not to vote and handing a petition with 30,000 signatures to police.
The vote is seen as a prelude to a campaign of dissent that could shut down Hong Kong's financial district, our correspondent adds.
Prof Chan said the protests could turn violent.
"We have been witnessing more and more physical confrontation during protests and I believe that more young people are willing to go to jail or even to confront the police and the government with their own bodies," he said.
"As a professor, as a parent we want to protect our young generation, that's why we believe we are now in a very critical juncture of our history."
Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997 following a 1984 agreement between China and Britain.
China agreed to govern Hong Kong under the principle of "one country, two systems", where the city would enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs" for 50 years.
As a result, Hong Kong has its own legal system, and rights including freedom of assembly and free speech are protected.
It is the New Zealand-born back rower's third suspension of the season.
The 28-year-old was shown a red card for "charging dangerously" into the Romanian side's winger Madalin Lemnaru in Quins' 75-3 victory on Saturday.
Luamanu, who pleaded not guilty, can appeal against the independent disciplinary committee's decision.
The committee decided the offence was at the low end of World Rugby's sanctions and applied a two-week ban, but then added a further week because of Luamanu's poor disciplinary record.
The former Treviso player received a three-week ban in September for charging and a five-week ban last month for a dangerous tackle.
He is set to miss Premiership matches against Gloucester, Worcester and Sale and will be free to play again on Monday, 9 January.
"Mat was stooping down to make a tackle, the guy gets tackled and they bang heads," Quins head coach Mark Mapletoft told BBC Radio London.
"I don't think anybody runs into anybody purposely with their own head and certainly not in that type of situation. There has got to be some common sense."
The Newport man faces other charges, including theft of a vehicle and driving with excess alcohol.
Xana Doyle, 19, from Newport, died after a silver Toyota Avensis ended up on its roof on Usk Way just after 07:00 GMT. A 15-year-old girl was also hurt.
The man is due appear before Newport magistrates on Monday.
A 21-year-old man, who was also arrested in connection with the incident, has been released with no further action, said Gwent Police.
Benjy, from County Mayo, Ireland, was destined for the abattoir after showing more interest in breeding with other bulls than cows.
He arrived at Norfolk's Hillside Animal Sanctuary on Sunday where he befriended Alex, a one-year-old bullock.
"He's a handsome little lad, so you can't blame him," said a spokeswoman.
Mr Simon said it "thrills" him to have helped Benjy.
Stefanie Leary, yard manager at Hillside, said: "Benjy's here because he's gay and is of no use to the farming industry. This has happened to have saved his life.
"Today has gone reasonably well. He's travelled a long distance and is stressed, but he's coping with it well."
Gay and animal rights campaigners launched a joint online appeal to save the two-year-old Charolais bull.
It raised £10,000 in weeks, helped by a £5,000 donation from Mr Simon. The money will be used to fund Benjy's keep and welfare.
The Simpson's producer, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2012, was alerted to the bull's plight by animal rights campaigners PETA.
"I believe in compassion and empathy for all living beings - regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or species," he said.
It thrills me to know that his fate is a sanctuary rather than a sandwich
"I felt compelled to help. All animals have a dire destiny in the meat and dairy industries, but for Benjy to have been killed because of his sexual orientation would have been a double tragedy.
"My health won't allow me to travel to the UK to see Benjy in his new home, but it thrills me to know that his fate is a sanctuary rather than a sandwich."
Since being diagnosed with cancer, Mr Simon has donated millions of dollars, earned through creating TV cartoon The Simpsons, to various animal welfare projects around the world.
He said helping animals is "like a therapy".
Benjy will be castrated as the sanctuary, near Norwich, has a primary role to care for rescued animals not breed their own stock.
"We put any animal arriving with us into quarantine to access their personality and requirements," said Hillside's John Watson.
"Cows have real personalities so depending on what Benjy is like we'll then place him with a herd to which he's best suited.
"Once we've found him a herd he'll be with them for life as animals form very strong bonds with each other so we would never split them up."
The sanctuary cares for more than 2,000 animals, including 300 cattle, the majority of which have been saved from the farming industry.
As for Benjy's early interest in Alex, Ms Leary said: "He's a handsome little lad, so you can't blame him - but it might be just Benjy's interest in cows in general - but you never know, watch this space as they say."
Homosexual behaviour has been observed in 1,500 animal species with bats widely thought to be the animals with the highest rate of homosexuality among their male population.
Russia is legally bound by the European Convention on Human Rights.
But the Russian constitutional court says Russia "can step back from its obligations" if that is the only way to avoid violating its constitution.
Russia objects to a European Court of Human Rights demand that it compensate shareholders in former oil giant Yukos.
The Council of Europe (CoE), which monitors compliance with the convention and ECHR rulings, voiced concern about the Russian decision.
CoE Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland said Russia acknowledged that ECHR rulings were "binding".
"However, the stipulation in today's decision that there may be exceptions to this rule raises several question and concerns. My experts are analysing the decision and I will be taking it up with the highest Russian authorities," he said in a statement to the BBC.
The Russian court ruling on Tuesday said ECHR judgments did "not override the pre-eminence of the constitution in the Russian legal system".
An ECHR ruling in July 2014 told Russia to pay the Yukos shareholders €1.9bn (£1.3bn; $2bn) in compensation.
The ECHR found Russia in breach of the convention's Protocol One, Article One, which covers protection of private property.
NICE, which sets guidelines for England and Wales, says the £90,000 cost of trastuzumab emtansine is unjustifiable.
The drug can add months of life to women dying of breast cancer, and Roche says the price reflects years of work.
The drug is available in England via the government's Cancer Drugs Fund.
But this scheme will end in 2016, meaning patients in England will no longer be able to get trastuzumab emtansine on the NHS.
One fifth of all breast cancers are of a type that could potentially respond to trastuzumab emtansine treatment.
It is designed for women with HER2-receptor-positive cancer that has spread around the body.
The drug seeks out and destroys cancerous cells, attacking them from within. Its novel action means it is unlikely to cause the side effects, such as hair loss, seen with many other types of chemotherapy.
In trials, trastuzumab emtansine - which is sold under the brand name Kadcyla - extended the lives of women by almost six months.
Prof Paul Ellis, consultant oncologist at King's College London, has been treating his patients with the drug.
He said: "Kadcyla represents a significant advance in HER2-positive breast cancer, so for NICE to issue negative preliminary guidance is a huge blow."
Sir Andrew Dillon, NICE chief executive, said: "We had hoped that Roche would have recognised the challenge the NHS faces in managing the adoption of expensive new treatments by reducing the cost of Kadcyla to the NHS.
"We hope the manufacturer will act in the best interests of patients and use this consultation period to look again at their evidence and consider if there is more they can do."
Jayson Dallas, general manager at Roche Products, said: "Roche is extremely disappointed that NICE has failed to safeguard the interests of patients with this advanced stage of aggressive disease."
Unless the cost comes down, Kadcyla will be the third breast cancer drug made by Roche to have been rejected by NICE based on cost versus benefit.

Democracy, it is said, is the worst form of government - except for all the others.
The same could - and is - claimed about the way the NHS assesses drugs.
News that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is planning to reject a new cancer treatment has disappointed many.
Assessing which treatments the NHS should pay for is clearly an emotionally-charged business.
NICE looks at how much a drug would cost to add a year of good life - and allows for up to £30,000 for this; more for end of life treatments, like trastuzumab emtansine. But the drug was assessed at costing £180,000.
The wider question is should the system be reformed? Some say the assessment process is too blunt, but even attempts to create a more "intelligent" system have proved controversial. NICE is currently consulting on a new way of assessing drugs by taking into wider societal factors, such as the likelihood of a patient returning to work, but has been accused of discriminating against the elderly.
Yet the fact remains many countries envy the work NICE does for the NHS, with research showing it is one of the most efficient ways to run a health system.
A Department of Health spokesman said stakeholders would have the opportunity to respond to the recommendations set out in the draft guidelines for England and Wales.
Dr Caitlin Palframan, of the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said that the drug appraisal process and the cost of drugs must change if prospects for patients were going to improve.
"Drug development and research is moving at a pace that the system can't seem to keep up with.
"We are now looking to the Department of Health and the pharmaceutical industry to find a way to work together to bring the cost of expensive drugs down and put a sustainable system in place by which new treatments can be made available on the NHS on a routine basis.
"Until then it appears NICE will be forced to reject these cutting-edge treatments, some of which are capable of providing women facing terminal breast cancer diagnoses with extra time with their loved ones, which is the very least they deserve."
The charity estimates some 1,500 women in Britain could benefit from Kadcyla every year.
Emma Pennery, clinical director at Breast Cancer Care , of Breast Cancer Care, said: "We recognise that decisions about approval of cancer drugs are based on many complex factors, but we are concerned by the increasing number of people we support telling us how anxious they are about being able to access treatments when they need them.
"We await the results of the consultation period and the final guidance from NICE and hope Kadcyla will become widely available for eligible patients."
The Scottish Medicines Consortium, which considers drugs for use by the NHS in Scotland, is due to discuss the drug but has not yet set a meeting date.
Northern Ireland's Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety considers NICE's guidance after it is issued, so it could adopt the decision made for England and Wales or set a different policy for trastuzumab emtansine.
The authorities in Shanghai, where four deaths were recorded, have closed three poultry markets and banned the import of all live birds into the city.
China has now identified 16 domestic cases of the H7N9 virus.
The World Health Organization says there is no evidence yet that the virus is being transmitted between humans.
The human cases of H7N9 have all occurred in eastern China, in Shanghai and its neighbouring provinces of Anhui and Zhejiang.
The latest death was a 64-year-old man who died in Zhejiang, the second death there, state media report. There was no sign of infection in anyone who had had close contact with him, said officials.
On Thursday, officials began the slaughter of at least 20,000 birds in Shanghai after the virus was detected in pigeons sold in Huhuai market.
The trading of live birds - how poultry is traditionally sold in China - has also been halted at a market in the Zhejiang city of Hangzhou, after the virus was detected in quail being sold there.
"People are worried," Yan Zhicheng, an elderly Shanghai resident, told AFP news agency.
"Shanghai people eat a lot of duck and chicken. Now we can't touch them."
Another Shanghai resident, Shao Linxia, said she would not longer be buying food from traditional markets, but instead using large supermarkets.
"I don't think it is safe to visit the wet markets anymore," she told Reuters.
The authorities in Hong Kong are also bringing in extra precautions, including heightened checks at immigration points, while other countries in the region have boosted their own influenza responses.
The H7N9 is a form of avian flu not previously been found in humans. The WHO says information about it is still limited, but that all the victims have had severe pneumonia, with symptoms including a fever and shortness of breath.
It is also not yet known how all the infections occurred, with the WHO unable to confirm any cases of human-to-human transmission.
The Chinese government has promised to openly share information about the virus, after being accused of trying to cover up health crises in the past.
Eighteen lawsuits had been active between the companies, relating to uses of technologies in mobile phones, wifi and other areas.
Details of the deal were not shared, but in a joint statement the firms said they would "collaborate on certain patent matters".
It is the latest move by technology firms to keep patent rows out of the courts.
The battles, particularly over software, intensified in recent years as firms sought to capitalise on their patent portfolios.
But of late there has been a shift towards licensing rather than litigation.
In a brief, joint statement, the companies said: "Microsoft and Google are pleased to announce an agreement on patent issues.
"As part of the agreement, the companies will dismiss all pending patent infringement litigation between them, including cases related to Motorola Mobility.
"Separately, Google and Microsoft have agreed to collaborate on certain patent matters and anticipate working together in other areas in the future to benefit our customers."
The two firms had been involved in a tangled web of disputes, some spurred by Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility in 2011, which meant the search giant took on board a large number of patents relating to mobile phone and network technology.
Google bought Motorola's mobile arm for $12.5bn (£8.3bn) in 2011, only to sell it in 2014 for $2.91bn to Lenovo. Google retained the bulk of the patents it took on in the original deal.
Microsoft also sued Google over a patent that allowed for long text messages to be broken into pieces, sent, and reassembled on the receiver's phone.
One particularly heated row related to the Xbox games system. Microsoft said Motorola had failed in its obligation to fairly license its patents over video compression and wireless technology. A court upheld the complaint.
While the deal ends this round of lawsuits, it is no guarantee Microsoft and Google would not clash in the future, a Microsoft spokeswoman told Reuters.
The limited truce follows a similar deal between Samsung and Apple who choose to drop their patent disputes last year.

The body of Dean George, aged 40, was found on Sunday at about 16:35 BST.
A spokesman for HMP Swansea said staff attempted CPR and an ambulance was called, but the prisoner was pronounced dead.
"As with all deaths in custody there will be an investigation by the independent prisons and probation ombudsman," the spokesman added.
Christopher Hampton, 64, was jailed for life on Monday for raping and stabbing to death Melanie Road in Bath in 1984.
The father-of-four was caught in 2015 after police linked him to Melanie's murder through his daughter's DNA.
Police have now said Hampton is not being linked to the strikingly similar murder of Melanie Hall, 25, in 1996.
The painter and decorator evaded police for decades but was finally caught after his daughter was arrested for a "minor incident" and her DNA profile led police to him.
His barrister said his twice-married client had led an "entirely unblemished" life before and after the murder, describing it as "a moment of complete madness".
And Det Ch Insp Julie MacKay has confirmed Hampton is not currently being linked to other crimes, including the murder of Melanie Hall.
"I think the significance of the two cases is that both girls were called Melanie, they were both blonde, they both left a nightclub in Bath in June and 12 years apart," she said.
"Apart from that there is nothing to suggest that Christopher Hampton is responsible for that murder or for any other murder locally or nationally."
Melanie Road was raped and stabbed by Hampton as she walked to her home in St Stephen's Close, Bath, following a night out with friends on 9 June 1984.
Melanie Hall, from Wiltshire, was also murdered after leaving a Bath nightclub on 9 June 1996. Her remains were found in a black plastic bag by the side of the M5 in 2009.
Eamonn Magee Jr, 22, died from stab wounds he sustained to the chest and stomach in Twinbrook in the city.
Mr Magee was a rising star in the boxing world, hoping to follow in the footsteps of his father Eamonn, a former welterweight champion.
Turkish national Orhan Koca, 34, of no fixed abode, admitted the murder charge at Belfast Crown Court on Tuesday, just as his trial was about to begin.
He will be sentenced in May.
Mr Magee Jr was at a friend's house in Summerhill Park in Twinbrook in the early hours of 30 May 2015 when he was attacked by Koca.
He died a short time later in hospital.
After Koca's guilty plea, a judge told him that he was facing a life sentence. | Two men have gone on trial accused of taking part in a plot to free a gang leader from a prison van on its way to court in Wood Green, north London.

Parents affected by the Mortonhall Crematorium baby ashes scandal are to be consulted later this year on the design and location of the memorial.
Bruntsfield Links, Princes Street Gardens and Mortonhall are also being considered as possible locations.
The plans are to be considered at a council meeting on Thursday.
The memorial is part of a council action plan in response to 22 recommendations made in a report by former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini published in April.
These included that the council should review how Mortonhall crematorium is managed, ensure the location of interment of remains is recorded in future and discuss options for memorials with parents.
The council said its working group had given "sustained and proper consideration" to each of the recommendations made by Dame Elish.
Immediate actions include discussions with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) about existing practice and permits and the introduction of an infant cremator.
There has also been an exchange of letters between the council and the Scottish government as well as the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities and the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management.
The council plans to hold discussions with infant death charities SANDS and SIMBA about when the time is right to open discussions with parents about improving the landscaping and the design of a memorial.
Staff at Edinburgh's Mortonhall crematorium secretly disposed of the remains of stillborn and dead newborn babies without their families' knowledge over decades, from 1967 to 2011.
Sue Bruce, Edinburgh City Council's chief executive, said: "I would like to re-iterate my sincere apologies to the bereaved families for the distress they have suffered as a result of the practices at Mortonhall Crematorium.
"I want to thank them for their co-operation with the investigation and contributions to the report and also thank Dame Elish and her team for their hard work.
"The families should be able to take comfort from their dedicated campaigning which has resulted in our action plan and the Infant Cremation Commission report by Lord Bonomy which will lead to legislative change in Scotland to ensure nothing like this can happen again.
"I have been impressed by the willingness of all the participants, especially the parent representatives, to work together. The publication of this action plan marks a significant step forward to ensuring that the highest possible standards are adhered to at Mortonhall.
"I am pleased with the progress already made but we now need to build on that impetus to ensure the action plan is closely monitored and delivered in full.
"The working group will continue to closely with the Scottish government to ensure our actions are consistent with the recommendations of Lord Bonomy."
Other measures in the action plan include a review of staffing in bereavement services and the development and roll out of a management and leadership programme.
The report into the Mortonhall scandal by Dame Elish Angiolini found parents faced "a lifetime of uncertainty" over what had happened to their infants' remains.
Earlier this week, an investigation into the handling of baby ashes across Scotland, led by Lord Bonomy, made 64 recommendations.
Longton Cottage Hospital closed in September amid staff shortages at hospitals run by Staffordshire and Stoke Partnership NHS Trust.
Thirty seven beds have since been reopened on a temporary basis, along with 28 beds in Stafford.
Latest figures showed local A&E performance to be the worst in England.
Last week, just 63.7% of people attending emergency units at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and Stafford's County Hospital were seen within four hours, compared with a national target of 95%.
The next worst performing trust was the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which treated 70.3% of patients within four hours.
Staffordshire and Stoke Partnership NHS Trust, which runs community hospitals in the area, said reopening Longton Hospital was expected to cost up to £90,000 a week.
Philip Ledward, 62, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, died in November 2011 while working for Arkenfield Stable Hire Ltd.
Mold Crown Court heard it was "an accident waiting to happen".
The company, of Bronington, Wrexham county, and general manager Phillip Sutton both deny breaching health and safety rules.
The company has been charged with failing to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of employees by failing to ensure a safe system of work with vehicles.
Mr Sutton faces a similar charge which alleges he consented or connived with the company, or that the offence was attributable to his neglect.
The court was told Mr Ledward, a heavy goods vehicle mechanic, was one of three workmen guiding the articulated truck at the company's yard at Boundary Garage on the A495.
Two colleagues were in the road trying to stop traffic and Mr Ledward was stood talking to the lorry driver when he was hit by an oncoming car. He died at the scene.
Christopher Stables, prosecuting for the Health and Safety Executive, said no risk assessment had been carried out and the practice had been used for some time.
He said it was "fraught with dangers, particularly in the darkness".
He argued Mr Sutton was in day to day charge and must have known what was going on.
The death happened because the company operated an unsafe system of work and the incident was "utterly foreseeable and avoidable", he claimed.
The trial continues.
For a cost of $777 (£615) a night, the "opulent" home in Queens, New York City, can sleep up to 20 people.
"This is a unique and special opportunity to stay in the home of a sitting president," reads the Airbnb rental advertisement.
The Tudor-style home sold for $2.14m two months after Mr Trump's election.
The listing is not affiliated with Mr Trump or the White House, the post's authors emphasise.
The building, which is within walking distance of the subway, according the listing, contains five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms.
"Not much has been changed since the Trumps lived here, the kitchen is original and the opulent furnishings represent the style and affluence in which the Trumps would have lived," the post says.
There is a person living fulltime in one room of the house, and "there is a giant cut-out of Donald in the Living Room", it adds.
"He is a great companion for watching Fox News late into the night."
Pets and parties are banned, but breakfast is provided.
The house was built by Mr Trump's father, developer Fred Trump, in 1940 and is listed on Mr Trump's birth certificate.
It was the future-president's former home until the age of four, when the Trump family moved into a larger brick mansion nearby.
Last September, Mr Trump told late night TV comedian Jimmy Fallon that he wanted to buy back the home, which shortly afterward was withdrawn from sale.
It was flipped by a developer for $2.14m in March, having sold the previous December for $1.39m.
The number of families categorised as homeless has more than doubled over the last 12 months from 15 in 2016 to 32.
Private accommodation previously available on long-term leases is now being offered as holiday lets.
Skye councillor Calum MacLeod said tourism had brought opportunities but also challenges.
A report to Highland Council's Isle of Skye and Raasay Committee on Monday said homeless families were having to spend longer in temporary accommodation before being offered a home.
Council officers said on average the time spent in temporary housing had increased from about 20 weeks to more than 27 weeks since 2015/16.
After the meeting. Mr MacLeod told BBC Alba: "We are lucky in some respects on Skye in that we are experiencing an increase in tourism, which is wonderful - it brings lots of opportunities, but challenges at the same time.
"One of the challenges is that with the increase in tourism a lot of private landlords are now seeing the opportunity to go to the commercial sector."
He said there was not enough "back up" accommodation left to offer homeless families.
Some 25 pensioners had to be rescued from Peebles Nursing Home as the River Tweed overflowed into the streets.
They had to be re-housed about 18 miles away at the Waverley Care Home in Galashiels.
It has been confirmed that is where they will stay for six months while structural and interior overhauls take place on the building in Tweed Green.
The entire ground floor was damaged when water poured into the care home on the afternoon of 30 December.
Mountain Rescue volunteers along with fire and rescue teams took part in the rescue operation to get the residents to safety.
Nine of the 24 bedrooms are on the bottom floor as well as two lounges, a dining room, a kitchen and a laundry room.
Peebles Nursing Home manager Jane Rogers said she had experienced nothing like it in her 10 years in charge.
She said: "The water rose very quickly and there was a sudden surge of water which breached walls and our usually effective defences in a matter of minutes."
The residents were having lunch when the flood waters hit.
"By about 2.20pm a lot of water had come in but luckily by that time we had moved everyone upstairs," said Ms Rogers.
"All of the rooms on the ground floor are completely condemned.
"But before any of the restoration work even begins the building has to be completely emptied and then we have to leave it to dry out substantially which is going to take a while.
"So the residents won't be back in for approximately another six months."
Ms Rogers said the residents were happy and nobody had been upset by the move.
She added: "Our residents are still seeing the same staff which is comforting for them.
"And the families can be reassured that the level of care their relatives are receiving has not been affected."
Meanwhile, Borders Sport and Leisure Trust is unable to say when Peebles Swimming Pool will re-open - 10 days after the flooding.
Both boilers were seriously damaged and due to the heating being off there has been movement in the wooden ceiling above the pool.
Cooper said his goodbyes to his Glenavon team-mates at Tuesday's Premiership match against Ballinamallard at Mourneview Park.

"It's an opportunity I can't really turn down at this stage."
Speaking to Glenavon's website, Cooper added: "I hope to get selected for the College team which is the top division of college soccer in the States and the University has a few affiliated teams from the MLS."
Cooper thanked Glenavon manager Gary Hamilton and chairman Adrian Teer for their support since moving from Ballyclare Comrades in July 2015.

Properties within "easy reach" of a Waitrose cost 12% more than other homes in the same area, says the bank.
Homes close to a Sainsbury's carry a 10% price premium - and those near Tesco carry an 8% premium.
However, having a Lidl or Aldi nearby can actually reduce the value of your house or flat, it is claimed.
But having any sort of supermarket nearby can add an average of £15,000 to a property, concludes the research.
"Having a grocery shop within easy reach appears to be high on the list for homebuyers looking for good access to local amenities," said Andy Hulme, Lloyds Bank mortgages director.
But it has recommended that a second round run-off should go ahead as planned on 17 January.
The people of Haiti are choosing a president to succeed Michel Martelly.
Mr Martelly postponed the run-off vote that was due to be held on 27 December after street protests against fraud in the first round turned violent.
President Martelly is constitutionally barred from seeking re-election.
The candidate he backed, banana exporter Jovenel Moise, won 33% of the vote in the first round on 25 October.
In the run-off, he will face ex-state construction company head Jude Celestin, who came second with 25%.
The opposition alleged widespread fraud in the presidential and legislative vote in October.
The commission assigned last month to look into the allegations said there were widespread irregularities.
It recommended legal action against poll workers and other people involved in fraud, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Whoever wins will face a daunting task when taking over from Mr Martelly in February. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Americas.
Since it was devastated by an earthquake in 2010, the country has relied largely on international donations and foreign aid from the United States and other countries.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said the leak of at least 300 tonnes of the highly radioactive water was discovered on Monday.
The plant, crippled by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, has seen a series of water leaks and power failures.
The tsunami knocked out cooling systems to the reactors, three of which melted down.
An employee discovered the leak on Monday morning, Tepco said in a statement.
By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News
This is believed to be the fourth major leak from storage tanks at Fukushima since the tsunami in 2011 disabled the nuclear plant and necessitated the constant pumping of water to cool the reactors.
Tepco says this is the worst so far in terms of volume - and it is also highly radioactive, with levels in the leaked water of 80 million becquerels per litre, some eight million times above the limit for drinking water in Japan.
So far just four tonnes of this water has been recovered. The concern is that the rest will leach into the sea which is just 100m away.
However, while this latest development is a concern, the scale of the overall radiation leakage at Fukushima must be kept in some perspective.
According to Dr Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the total amount of the radioactive element caesium produced since the disaster began at Fukushima is roughly equal to the amount that has been emitted at Windscale/Sellafield since operations began there 60 years ago.
Officials described the leak as a level-one incident - the lowest level - on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (Ines), which measures nuclear events.
This is the first time that Japan has declared such an event since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, however.
Under the Ines, events have seven categories starting with Level 0 ("without safety significance") and Levels 1-3 denoting "incidents" while Levels 4-7 denote "accidents".
A puddle of the contaminated water was emitting 100 millisieverts an hour of radiation, Kyodo news agency said.
Masayuki Ono, general manager of Tepco, told Reuters news agency: "One hundred millisieverts per hour is equivalent to the limit for accumulated exposure over five years for nuclear workers; so it can be said that we found a radiation level strong enough to give someone a five-year dose of radiation within one hour."
A Tepco official told a press conference on Tuesday that the water probably leaked from a tank after escaping a concrete barrier.
Workers were pumping out the puddle and the remaining water in the tank and would be transferring it to other containers, Kyodo added.
Water is being pumped into the reactors after cooling systems were knocked out by the tsunami.
Hundreds of tanks were built to store the contaminated water. Some of them had experienced similar leaks since 2012, but not on this scale, a Tepco official said.
Tepco had been instructed to retrieve contaminated soil and to strengthen monitoring of the surrounding environment, a regulatory official told Agence-France Presse news agency.
No major changes in radiation levels outside the plant had been observed so far, the official added.
The incident comes days after Tepco admitted that as much as 300 tonnes of contaminated water a day was leaking from the damaged reactor buildings to the sea.
Meanwhile RAF Tornado jets are due to carry out surveillance operations to support aid deliveries, while four UK Chinook helicopters are expected to arrive in Cyprus on Wednesday night.
Supplies dropped on Mount Sinjar so far include clean water and shelters.
But shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander has urged the government to step up its humanitarian response.
"Clearly the UK must now also be doing all that we can to assist the vital humanitarian effort that is under way to help save lives and prevent further suffering," he said.
The UN has warned that tens of thousands of civilians are trapped on mountains in northern Iraq near the Syrian border by fighters from militant group Islamic State (IS).
US forces have carried out a number of air strikes targeting IS militants near Irbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, while drones have also fired on jihadist fighters.
America has also sent 130 more military advisers to the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
Jihadists are reportedly targeting Iraqi Christians and members of the Yazidi religious sect.
About 35,000 people have escaped from the mountains into Syria and then into the Kurdistan region of Iraq in the past three days, with the UN warning they needed "life-saving assistance".
Some 700,000 Yazidis are believed to have been displaced.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening confirmed a third round of UK air drops successfully took place on Tuesday night.
There have now been five drops over three nights, which included 2,640 reusable water purification containers filled with clean water and more than 500 shelter kits to help shade the refugees in temperatures of more than 40C (104F).
BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said the government had also agreed to transport supplies to Kurdish forces fighting IS militants..
Citing a senior government source, she said this should not be described as "arms".
"The source said such an operation falls within the government's humanitarian effort as it is to help the Kurdish forces who are doing the most on the ground to protect civilians," our correspondent said.
A No 10 statement said earlier that Britain had agreed to transport "critical military re-supplies" provided by other countries, while continuing with humanitarian missions.
"Meanwhile urgent planning to get those trapped on the mountainside to safety will continue in the coming days between ourselves and US, the Kurdish authorities and other partners," it added.
No 10 said the UK would also continue to "lead negotiations" on a UN Security Council Resolution that would make clear the "shared determination of the international community" to tackle the threat posed by IS.
Taban Sami Shoresh, a British Kurd helping with the relief efforts, told the BBC she had never seen so many people "scramble for survival" when an aid helicopter landed.
"All they wanted to do was get on the plane to be saved, and we could only take so much. It's horrific. It's heartbreaking to see," she said.
"There is a humanitarian crisis here and we desperately need the help from all directions," she said.
Speaking from Irbil in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, Ms Shoresh described how Mount Sinjar was "completely hemmed" by IS fighters.
Meanwhile, former Conservative defence secretary Liam Fox told the Daily Mail that the UK would need to join in with military action being conducted by the US.
"The idea that this is not our problem is wishful thinking at best, and catastrophic complacency at worst. Yet in the face of all evidence there has been policy paralysis in the West," he said.
Colonel Tim Collins, who commanded British troops in Iraq, expressed similar sentiments in the Daily Telegraph and accused the government of failing in its "moral obligation" to intervene.
"In the next months ancient civilisations will be extinguished on our watch unless we act," he said.
The first drop took place on Saturday, delivering 1,200 water containers and 240 solar lanterns.
On Monday, RAF crews dropped supplies including 9,000 five-litre water bottles, and 816 solar lamps that can also be used to charge mobile phones.
Supplies dropped overnight in Mount Sinjar, where most of those who have fled are trapped, included 2,640 reusable water purification containers filled with clean water and 528 shelter kits.
The international development secretary announced £8m in new assistance last week for those displaced in Iraq, bringing to a total £13m in UK aid committed to the crisis.
Ms Greening also said four organisations - Mercy Corps, Save the Children, the International Rescue Committee and Action Against Hunger - were to share the £3m earmarked by the British government for charities operating in Iraq.
Speaking on an American chat show, Sir Patrick Stewart, 74, told host Larry King:
"It is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don't think we'll be making an appearance. Nor Sir Ian McKellen, either."
X-Men: Apocalypse is due for release in 2016.
It's expected to focus on the cast of X-Men: First Class, which included James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen have played the roles of Professor X and Magneto in the X-Men series since 2000.
2014's installment X-Men: Days of Future Past featured a time travel plot that meant those original stars could appear alongside their younger counterparts from X-Men: First Class.
The film had a cliffhanger ending which some have suggested could leave the door open for the veteran actors to appear in future X-Men films or one of the upcoming X-Men related films, Gambit or Deadpool.
There have been seven films in the X-Men franchise so far, including two Wolverine spin-off movies.
X-Men: Apocalypse, which will be directed by Bryan Singer, is due for release in 2016.
It is an adaptation of the popular comic book storyline of En Sabah Nur and his Four Horsemen.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen have a long history of working together in both film and theatre, dating back to the 1970s.
In 2013 Sir Patrick Stewart married jazz singer Sunny Ozell. McKellen conducted the ceremony.

Yet with 24 songs in contention at Kiev, it's anybody's guess who'll be leaving Ukraine with the famous glass microphone trophy in their hands.
We've listened to all of them on your behalf and have picked eight tracks we think will make a splash at Saturday's grand final.
There is more than a dash of The Shires to this melodious slice of ukelele-backed folk from Belarussian duo Artem Lukyanenko and Ksenia Zhuk.
Pointedly sung in their native language, it's a jaunty holler whose references to "new desires and better ideas" could be read as a coded rebuke to neighbouring Russia.
Belarus have only made it past the semis on four occasions since joining the contest in 2004.
Could the first entry to be sung in the country's native tongue see it better its best ever showing - a sixth-place finish in 2007?
Watch the video.
Think Lana Del Ray and Lorde with a sprinkling of Birdy and you have this moodily credible slice of indie pop from 17-year-old Blanche.
Real name Ellie Delvaux, she'll be hoping to continue Belgium's recent run of top 10 finishes after a lengthy period in which it struggled to make it past the semis.
"All alone in the danger zone, are you ready to take my hand?" she moans over a dark soundscape of ambient electronica.
Belgium were the last country to be confirmed as finalists at the end of Tuesday's semi-final, prompting a massive sigh of relief and more than a few tears.
Russia's departure from this year's competition could work in favour of 17-year-old Kostov, the youngest performer at Kiev and the first Eurovision entrant to be born in this century.
Born in Moscow in March 2000, he could pick up a lot of the votes that would have gone to Russia's Julia Samoilova were she still participating in the contest.
His dramatic self-penned ballad is also a stirring enough composition to put him on course to better the fourth-place finish Bulgaria's Poli Genova managed last year.
Indeed, Kristian could go all the way to the top - provided, of course, he does better than this guy…
A firm favourite with both the fans and the bookies, Italy's entrant is the one to beat this year.
An irresistible explosion of playful pop with a sing-along chorus, Occidentali's Karma - Westerner's Karma in English - also comes with a dancing gorilla that will be sure to send the audience bananas on Saturday.
The gorilla, explains Gabbani, derives from Desmond Morris's seminal work The Naked Ape - referred to in the lyrics - and its theory that we are all simians under the skin.
As one of the so-called "big five", Italy get a free pass into the final along with the UK, France, Germany, Spain and host nation Ukraine.
Remember Epic Sax Guy, the saxophone-playing Moldovan who became an internet sensation after performing at Eurovision in 2010?
Well, Sergey Stepanov is back to represent the former Soviet republic again with the other two members of Sunstroke Project, violinist Anton Ragoza and vocalist Sergei Yalovitsky.
This year's offering is an upbeat slice of pure pop froth that comes with backing singers in wedding gowns and plenty of opportunities for Stepanov to blow his own trumpet.
Moldova's last appearance in the final came in 2013 when they finished 11th.
Watch the video.
Amidst Eurovision's sea of generic Anglophone pop, this lush Portuguese love song stands out like a rebellious rose in a garden of dandelions.
So does Salvador Sobral himself, his man-bun, Pacino-esque features and air of genial scruffiness setting him apart as surely as if he'd arrived wearing a clown's costume.
Written by Sobral's sister Luisa, Amar Pelos Dois translates into English as Love for the Two of Us.
There's a lot of love for Portugal's entry this year - not least because Salvador has a serious heart condition that saw him miss the first week of rehearsals.
Don't be surprised if we see the land of the fado record its first top five finish.
Watch the video.
Ever wondered what rap and yodelling would sound like in close proximity? Thanks to our friends in Romania, you no longer have to.
Yodel It! is just the kind of offbeat combo that Eurovision was made for, and one that ensures Romania is back with a bang after being barred from taking part last year.
Singer Ilinca Bacila, 25, describes herself as Romania's only yodelling artist and says she likes to drink palinka - a kind of fruit brandy - before performing with her rapping cohort Alex Florea.
By the way, we're not kidding about Romania being back with a bang. Their Eurovision performance sees them joined on stage by a pair of glittery cannons.
Watch the video.
Sweden has an impressive track record at Eurovision. It's won six times in all, most recently in 2015 when Mans Zelmerlow triumphed with Heroes.
It's also mastered the art of making its submission stand out from the crowd. Remember the stylish computer visuals that saw Zelmerlow accompanied on stage in Vienna by a stick-figured animated buddy?
Robin Bengtsson will be hoping to match that with a slick routine involving four suit-wearing male dancers on treadmills that recalls nothing so much as Take That in their prime.
The song is not bad either - an up-tempo pop ditty in which 26-year-old Bengtsson sings about wanting to take off all his clothes for his "freakin' beautiful" partner.

Jasmyn, 14, was hit by a car when crossing Normanton Hill near Richmond Park, Intake, Sheffield, on 9 May.
Sheffield City Council said the £250,000 crossing would be installed in the next financial year.
A man appeared in court in October charged with causing her death by dangerous driving.
She was crossing the road with another girl, aged 12, at about 21:20 on 9 May when both were hit.
The younger girl was seriously injured and had to be treated in hospital.
Police said Jasmyn's last actions had been "to push her friend from danger".
In July, a petition of 12,571 signatures was submitted to the council requesting the crossing and speed restrictions.
The council said extra land was needed to fit in the crossing and a date for its completion was yet to be confirmed, but work will start in the 2015-16 financial year and would take about a year to complete.
Meanwhile, other road safety measures will be installed - including speed cameras, signs and a skid resistant surface. The council is also looking for a school crossing patrol warden.
Since speed cameras were installed on 1 July, police have recorded around 470 speeding offences, the council said.
A council report said: "The introduction of road safety measures on Normanton Hill will bring about a reduction in the number and severity of road traffic collisions."
It also said Normanton Hill had been placed on the council's list of most serious accident locations in the city.
In October, the Jasmyn Chan Foundation was set up to raise money for good causes.
Pietersen, 34, unleashed some trademark shots to score his first hundred in any form of cricket since the Old Trafford Ashes Test in August 2013.
In front of a hearty crowd, he hit 24 fours and two sixes in 149 balls before being caught at midwicket.
Pietersen rejoined Surrey in March with the aim of regaining his England place in time for the Ashes rematch in July.
The three-day friendly against the student side is his first appearance in long-form cricket since the Sydney Ashes Test in January 2014.
Discarded by England after the 5-0 series defeat in Australia, Pietersen has played almost exclusively Twenty20 cricket since then.
But the South African-born batsman decided to focus on winning a 105th Test cap rather than his lucrative Indian Premier League contract after incoming England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves gave him hope of a recall.
And Pietersen's performance was a clear reminder to the England selectors of his enduring quality ahead of the first Test with the West Indies, which begins in Antigua on Monday.
Pressed into action at number four just 45 minutes into a chilly spring morning, Pietersen took 31 balls to hit his first boundary but followed up with six more on his way to a half-century just after lunch.
Oxford captain Sam Weller, a fast bowler on Kent's books, was cut behind square for four before Pietersen evoked echoes of his prime by getting on the front foot to pull the 6ft 5in Abidine Sakande to the midwicket rope.
As the bowling became more ragged and the crowd swelled, Pietersen cashed in. He laced a full toss through cover to reach three figures, then unfurled a ramp shot over his shoulder for another boundary.
Back-to-back sixes followed off seamer Matt Hughes - one of them denting a spectator's car - as Pietersen brought up his 150, his third fifty coming off just 27 balls.
The fun was over 20 minutes before tea when he holed out to midwicket off 20-year-old Sakande before departing to a standing ovation.
After Surrey had been reduced to 113-5 by the combined Oxford University and Oxford Brookes side, Pietersen helped them take control. The division two side declared on 420-7 and had the students in trouble on 28-4 as Chris Tremlett, another former England player, took 3-3 at the close.
Had Graves not opened the door to an England recall, Pietersen would have been lining up for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL on Monday in front of 37,000 at Bangalore's M Chinnaswamy stadium.
Instead, England's most recognisable player had to make do with a healthy throng of students, families and sporting enthusiasts at the picturesque University Parks.
With folding chairs and picnic rugs they lined the boundaries and were treated to a vintage show of shot-making.
A one point a man was dislodged from his seat by a Pietersen four, and later in the day a stray black dog held up play with a solo dart across the outfield.
Meanwhile, a 20-strong press pack shuffled onto rickety white benches alongside the pavilion to mark the start of a journey that could well see Pietersen back into the England fold.
For anyone not familiar with recent episodes of English cricket's soap opera, here's how we got to where we are.
Pietersen, England's highest international run scorer, was ditched by the ECB after the Ashes whitewash a year ago and accused of being "disengaged" from the team.
England got worse, improved slightly, then sunk to an all-time low at the World Cup in February and March.
Pietersen, encouraged by Graves' comments, sent his PR machine into overdrive, pulled out of his beloved Indian Premier League and rejoined Surrey.
Last Wednesday, the ECB removed one of the biggest hurdles to a Pietersen comeback by dismissing managing director Paul Downton, the man who was central to Pietersen's sacking in the first place.
Pietersen will have another chance to impress England's selectors in Surrey's second innings at The Parks.
He will then play in their first three County Championship matches of the season, but will fly out to India should the Sunrisers reach the knockout stages of the IPL, which start on 19 May and finish with the final on 24 May.
England, meanwhile, host New Zealand in two Tests and five one-day internationals from May 21.
And should Alastair Cook's men falter, Pietersen will hope to be in the frame to make a fairytale return in the first Ashes Test in Cardiff from 8 July.
Mr Bush allegedly made the pledge to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, niece to US ex-President John F Kennedy.
The former president's office has not confirmed the report, with a spokesman saying he was checking.
Mr Bush, who held office from 1989 until 1993, has not endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump.
If George HW Bush is indeed backing Hillary Clinton for president, that puts four of the five living presidents in the former secretary of state's camp.
George W Bush is the lone holdout - at least for now.
The Bush clan clearly isn't crazy about Donald Trump, given the way the New Yorker savaged Jeb in the Republican primaries.
It's worth noting, however, that the only family member with a political future - Texas Land Commissioner George P Bush - has endorsed his party's nominee.
The elder Bush does have a bit of a history with the Clintons. Although he and Bill Clinton were adversaries in the 1992 presidential contest, the two formed a friendship after the Democrat left office, co-operating on various charitable efforts.
It's unclear how much even an explicit Bush endorsement would help Mrs Clinton, given that most of the establishment Republicans who might break from the party have already done so.
This news might make it slightly easier for them to justify pulling the lever for the Democrat in November, however, rather than just sitting the vote out.
Neither has his son, Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully competed for the Republican nomination, or other rivals in the race, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.
Ms Kennedy Townsend, a former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, posted a photo on Facebook of a meeting with George HW Bush, alongside the caption: "The President told me he's voting for Hillary!"
Mr Bush's spokesman, however, was cautious.
"Those reporting how @GeorgeHWBush will vote this year, it's not clear anyone was there to verify KKT [Kathleen Kennedy Townsend]. Still checking, keep your powder dry," Jim McGrath wrote.
The female was seen sitting outside the Outfit store at Morfa Shopping Park, near the Liberty Stadium.
The RSPCA collected her and provided overnight care, before transferring her to a specialist wildlife facility.
It is thought the swan ended up at the spot after a nearby pond froze over on Thursday.
RSPCA animal collection officer Ellie West said: "This poor swan was absolutely exhausted and a little shell-shocked with so many shoppers walking past.
"It is hoped she can be released back to the wild in the near future."
City councillors have approved plans for an experimental nudist area, possibly in one of Paris's parks or in wooded areas on its outskirts.
The Green Party, which proposed the plan, said France was a top destination for naturists, and its capital city should have somewhere for them to go.
One centrist councillor, however, called the idea "demented".
He said the idea of authorising full-scale nudity in the middle of the capital might be seen as a provocation, especially at a time when feelings were still running high over the 'burkini' issue, the BBC's Hugh Schofield reports.
But those who support the move say, in a country with numerous clothes-free beaches and holiday camps, Paris should also be a draw for naturists.
"We've got two million nudists in France which is doubled during the summer with visitors," said David Belliard, co-chairman of the ecologist group in the city council.
"For them Paris is the world's premier tourist destination and there's no public place for them to go. We want to try out a recreational area where nudists can freely strip off."
Deputy Mayor of Paris Bruno Julliard said he was in favour of the plan, as was Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
He said the likeliest site for the naturist zone is in one of Paris's two main woods - the Bois de Boulogne to the west or Bois de Vincennes to the east - "near a lake, in a regulated setting so that there is no threat to public order".
Hours earlier, Paris's city council approved another controversial plan - to transform a highway into a walkway.
Some 3.3km (2 miles) of road from the Tuileries Garden toward the Bastille neighbourhood will be closed down and turned into a pedestrian-only zone.
Conservatives have argued this will worsen the city's traffic situation and put commuters at a disadvantage.
But Mayor Hidalgo has hailed the move as "historic".
It is part of her plan to tackle high levels of pollution in the capital, the AP news agency reported.
This will not be the first time a highway has been converted into a walkway. A road along the Left Bank has already been converted for pedestrian use.
Pescara midfielder Muntari, 32, was banned after he protested against racist abuse he received from the crowd during Sunday's Serie A match at Cagliari, which earned him a yellow card for dissent before he walked off.
Italy's football chiefs were branded "gutless" by anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out.
"Those with power in Italy need to take action to stop this happening again," Kick It Out tweeted.
In a fuller statement on its website, the organisation added: "Garth Crooks, an independent Kick It Out trustee, is calling for every self-respecting black player in the Italian League to not play this weekend unless the Italian authorities withdraw the ban on Sulley Muntari.
"It's unbelievable that Cagliari escaped punishment as 'only 10' fans were involved. This situation should never be allowed to happen again."
Ex-Ghana international Muntari was cautioned for dissent after asking the referee to stop the match, and then walked off in protest - which earned him a second yellow card for leaving the field of play without permission.
The Serie A disciplinary committee which issued Muntari's ban agreed that the fans' actions were "deplorable" but said its guidelines meant it could not impose sanctions as only "approximately 10" supporters were involved - fewer than 1% of the Cagliari supporters in the ground.
World players' union Fifpro believes Crooks' call may be difficult to implement but agrees action is needed.
Spokesperson Andrew Orsatti told BBC World Service that the committee's decision was "appalling, outrageous and poorly managed".
He added: "The message had to be about racism and stamping it out and sending a clear message that Muntari's cry for help was heard. But they failed on both counts, the Italian authorities, and the mind boggles as to how that occurred."
Morris joined the Reds as a player-coach in May 2016 following his release by League One side Gillingham.
The 33-year-old has made 28 league appearances this season, keeping eight clean sheets.
"I think it's important that we push on and try to finish the season strongly," he told the club website.
"Then next season, with a lot of lads who are already here, we can hopefully push on."
Matthew Wooby, from Trimley St Martin, was discovered in February by his parents with a ligature round his neck.
His father David Wooby told the inquest he believed his son had been in a "spiral" of depression and had purposely taken his own life.
But assistant coroner Nigel Parsley described it as a "truly tragic" case and recorded a verdict of misadventure.
He said he was unable to record a verdict of suicide as it was not clear Matthew, who was mildly autistic, knew he could die as a result of his actions.
Matthew's school, Felixstowe Academy, said there was one reported incident of bullying which was "dealt with swiftly" in line with its policies.
The inquest heard Matthew's parents had left him with babysitters on the night of 12 February, who had looked after him many times before.
They watched a film and he went to bed, asking if he was all right after they heard him shuffling around upstairs.
But next morning when his mother went to wake him, he was found unresponsive and was taken to hospital.
A week earlier, Matthew had watched a film that featured a scene with a child who had been saved after attempting to hang himself, the hearing was told.
Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, and a post-mortem test revealed the cause of death was recorded as suspension by ligature.
Mr Parsley said Matthew came from a "loving, close" family and attended Felixstowe Academy where there had been "bullying issues".
He said he was aware Matthew had been bullied at school but he was also aware that he may have reacted to the film he saw.
Mr Wooby told the hearing: "It's my personal conclusion that he was so unhappy because he was being bullied...and he went into a spiral of depression which I didn't notice at the time.
"And I think he took his own life on purpose because he was so depressed."
A statement from Matthew's parents, issued after the inquest, said: "We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our kind, loving, funny, beautiful and amazing son Matthew.
"We hope that by raising awareness of bullying that no other family will have to suffer what we have to cope with every day."
Felixstowe Academy's principal, Anthony Williams, said Matthew was a "lovely student" whose "sudden death was an unforeseen loss to the school community".
He said he had been in contact with the family and commended them for their remarkable courage and dignity.
Ian Watkins, singer of Lostprohpets, is to be sentenced next month for offences including attempted rape of a baby.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the force's handling of a complaint made against Watkins in 2012.
The IPCC said the inquiry followed a referral from the force in September.
The watchdog has already opened an investigation into whether South Wales Police failed to act quickly enough.
The 36-year-old singer from Pontypridd, who was called a "determined and committed paedophile" in court, admitted attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13 but not guilty to rape - a plea the prosecution accepted.
He also admitted three counts of sexual assault involving children and six involving taking, making or possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
He will be sentenced on 18 December.
One of the two women charged alongside Watkins, known as Woman A, admitted the attempted rape of a baby after denying rape and two charges of sexual assault, as well as taking and distributing an indecent photograph of a child.
Woman B pleaded guilty to conspiring to rape a child, three sexual assault charges and four charges of taking, possessing or distributing indecent images.
South Yorkshire Police were unavailable for comment.
"As a coach I've gone to France with different teams and it's a very happy hunting ground for me," said Jones.
Brive lead the group by four points after edging out Worcester 17-14.
The French side beat the Warriors with the last kick of the game after scoring just two tries.
That means a 5-1 or 4-0 match points win for the Dragons in France would be enough to see them through.
They also have a slim chance of being one of the best runners-up with a narrow win.
They took maximum points in Pau on the way to the semi-final in 2015-16, as well as gaining a maximum away to Stade Francais the previous season when they also reached the last four.
"Personally I have no fears about it, Brive are a good side and it's a very tough environment, but Pau, Stade Francais, the list goes on and (I've won) with other teams at Castres and Biarritz," Jones said.
"Particularly with this team we've got a style of rugby that can cause Brive some problems.
"We've got to deal with their power game. We'll have to move them around and play with tempo."
Tom Prydie (ankle) and Matthew Screech (leg) are injury concerns after going off during the 34-10 win over Enisei-STM.
Number eight Harrison Keddie, 20, scored two late tries to earn the bonus point.
"It's all on the line for us, we'll know what we have to do to hopefully get through to the next round," Keddie told BBC Wales Sport.
"I don't see why we can't get a win if we keep performing the way we can at home, we've got to try to transfer that to an away victory.
"There's no reason to go out there with a losing mentality, we will be underdogs but that's always easier."
After all, if the manager doesn't believe, then who else will?
But Scotland's dismal 1-1 draw with Canada in Wednesday's friendly in Edinburgh has done little to boost a nation's hopes.
Group F is a grim sight for Scotland, who sit in fifth place with one win (against Malta) and four points from four games. On Sunday, at Hampden, they face second-placed Slovenia, who are unbeaten in the pool after a draw away against Lithuania, a win at home against Slovakia, a draw at home against England and a win away against Malta.
This, as Strachan and the Scottish Football Association's chief executive Stewart Regan have stated, is a must-win game. If the hope - some would argue the fantasy - of a place in the play-offs is to remain alive then Slovenia need to be beaten. Anything other than a home win and Scotland are done - and most probably - Strachan will be done, too.
The manager has had the full support of his employers at Hampden. Not long after the 3-0 loss to Slovakia in October and a second 3-0 loss to England in November, Regan threw his weight behind Strachan and against his critics. "We are not going to be swayed by social media," said the chief executive. "We are not going to be bounced by a kangaroo court - we are going to give Gordon a chance."
Mike Mulraney, a member of the board at Hampden, said after the 3-0 double-header: "Do I think we can qualify? Yeah, I think we can qualify. He (Strachan) is convinced he can get us into a play-off place. Gordon is convinced he can do it."
Alan McRae, the president of the SFA, has said the same. So, too, Rod Petrie, another member of the board.
Strachan said the other day that he didn't know how many points might be required to make the play-offs, that his focus was solely on beating Slovenia and nothing else. His short-term view is wise, but trying to project what Scotland might need in the coming six games in order to make those play-offs is still an instructive exercise that shows the vast scale of the job.
Based on what was required to make the play-offs for the last four major championships, Scotland are in need of something approaching a footballing miracle.
Eight teams qualified for the European play-offs for the World Cup in South Africa, from Russia as top seed with 22 points to the Republic of Ireland as eighth seed with 18 points.
These totals weren't the critical numbers, though. Just as the teams in Scotland's current World Cup group will have their victories against the bottom team - in this case, Malta - removed at group's end, so, too, did Russia and the Republic back in 2010.
Their revised totals were the ones that counted. The Republic still scraped in as eighth, and bottom seed, on 12 points. Of the eight nations in the play-offs, the average points required (minus the fodder points) was 14.25. Call it 14.
Right now (taking away the win against Malta) Scotland has one point with six games to play - or five games if you remove the home match against Malta. Presuming every other team in Scotland's group take maximum points from Malta - and they have so far - then in the real world there are 15 points up for grabs, not 18 points. Malta become irrelevant so long as everybody beats them. Even if you take eighth-seeded Republic of Ireland as the barometer from 2010, Scotland have to get another 11 points from those 15. That's three wins and two draws from Slovenia (home), England (home), Lithuania (away), Slovakia (home) and Slovenia (away).
Given that in the last two-and-a-half years the only nations that Scotland have beaten in competitive matches are Gibraltar and Malta, that looks like a footballing Everest.
Again, results against the bottom team in each group didn't count, so after removing the fodder points, the eight that made the play-offs did so with a revised total ranging from Portugal's high of 16 to Turkey's low of 11.
The average number across the eight nations was 13.75 points. Round it up to 14. We can take the eighth seed, Turkey, as the reference point. Using their 11 points as a guide, Scotland would need 10 more points from 15. Three wins and a draw from the five remaining games that truly matter. A sizeable suspension of disbelief is required in order to see that happening.
The eight play-off teams, minus the points they secured against the bottom team in their section, ranged from Greece on 19 points right down to Croatia on 11 points. The average total of the eight worked out at 14.75 points. Call it 15.
If you take Croatia on 11 points as the focal point, Scotland still need 10 more points from the five big games left in their group. That's the best case scenario. That takes you back to three wins and a draw.
When talking about how Strachan believes they can still do it, did anybody at Hampden actually test this theory by looking at what other teams have had to do to make the last eight?
This was the easiest major championship to qualify for in the history of major championships. Scotland still didn't make it, of course.
All second-placed teams made it automatically and the best-placed third team, Turkey, also got a direct passage to France. The analysis here is of those nations that finished third and, not surprisingly, the average total required to make the play-offs is lower than Euro 2012 and the World Cups in 2014 and 2010.
The average points total required to make the play-offs was 12.25 points. Round it down to 12. Slovenia made it with 10 points to scrape in as eighth seed. In that scenario, Scotland would need another nine points from the five games. Slovenia's total would leave Scotland still requiring three wins or two wins and three draws.
Strachan can't afford to distract himself with this stuff this week, but it's the reality of the situation he is in. If recent history is an indication, then Scotland are in need of a revival to beat all revivals to get themselves in the hunt for the World Cup.
The businessman with no political experience convincingly won the New Hampshire primary and has now laid out his strategy to go all the way.
Elsewhere, Republican Carly Fiorina has announced she is dropping out of the race after getting just 4% of the vote.
South Carolina is next in the state-by-state contest to be Republican pick.
In the Democratic race, Nevada provides the next challenge, with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders keen to carry on his momentum after a stunning victory over Mrs Clinton in New Hampshire.
But Mr Trump dismissed him as an unlikely nominee because of his proposed tax increase, and focused instead on the former secretary of state and first lady.
"Polls are showing that I will beat Hillary Clinton easily," he told CBS on Wednesday morning, before outlining his strategy to win states that traditionally have backed Democratic presidential candidates.
"I have a chance of winning New York. You know, you look at these politicians they always talk about the six states - you've got to win this one, that one. You have to win Ohio, you have to win Florida.
"I can change the game because I really have a chance of New York, I'm going to win Virginia. I'm going to win Michigan, as an example."

Trump turns notoriety into a win
Winner and losers from New Hampshire
What would a Trump presidency be like?
How primaries and caucuses work
He denied he was unstoppable in the race to win the Republican nomination, however, and paid tribute to his friend New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is subject to speculation he may drop out after a poor showing in New Hampshire.
"I thought he was very effective. And I was surprised he didn't do better," said Mr Trump.
Later on Wednesday, another Republican candidate, Carly Fiorina announced on Facebook her decision to exit the race: "While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them."
The former Hewlett-Packard boss - and the only woman in the Republican race - ranked second to last in the New Hampshire poll, after placing seventh in the Iowa caucuses.
Senior aides for Chris Christie are also indicating the New Jersey governor may leave the contest, after he finished sixth in New Hampshire. Governor Christie is struggling to raise the funds and build support for his campaign to seriously contest his Republican rivals. However, his spokeswoman says "no decision has been made".
In other developments on Wednesday:
In the Democratic race, Mr Sanders met civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton on Wednesday morning in Harlem, New York City.
But the influential clergyman said he had not yet decided whether he would back the self-described democratic socialist or Mrs Clinton.
Winning the African American vote is regarded as key for the eventual Democratic nominee as the primary race moves on in the weeks ahead.
Both parties will officially name their presidential candidates in July and Americans will finally go to the polls in November.

Hummels, 27, will join Bayern on a five-year deal subject to a medical.
Bayern have paid Benfica €35m (£27.5m) for 18-year-old midfielder Sanches, who was also wanted by Manchester United, in a deal which could rise to €45m.
Carlo Ancelotti takes charge at the Allianz Arena this summer, when manager Pep Guardiola joins Manchester City.
Hummels started his career at Bayern, playing one Bundesliga match in 2007, before moving to Dortmund. His final appearance for Dortmund will be against Bayern in the German Cup final on Saturday, 21 May - if selected.
The clubs have agreed a "silence" over the fee.
Chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "Mats is one of the best central defender in the world. With him, we can increase the quality of our team again."
Portugal international Sanches, who had a medical on Monday, has also signed a five-year deal with Bayern, who won the German title for a record fourth year in a row this season.
Rummenigge added: "Renato is a dynamic, combative and technically gifted midfielder who will strengthen our team further."
They include Jaguar Land Rover and Veolia Environmental Services UK, as well as smaller businesses, including All3Media, which makes programmes including Horrible Histories, and children's clothing company, Frugi.
Other companies have been granted awards for sustainable development and innovation.
The awards are designed to reward growth and enterprise.
A survey of Queen's Awards winners found 76% said the win had brought added commercial value to their business.
The winning businesses come from a range of sectors including fashion, food and drink, media, IT and construction, and range from enterprising small businesses, with just a handful of employees, to companies employing thousands.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "Companies that are growing, innovating and championing UK business overseas deserve the recognition that these awards bestow."
This year 162 businesses have been recognised, with 110 winning awards for international trade; 39 for innovation and 13 for sustainable development.
Eight individuals won the Queen's Award for enterprise promotion, nominated by their peers for their efforts to encourage UK entrepreneurship.
Their nominations show that, in addition to being full-time entrepreneurs, they have voluntarily passed their skills and experience on to others, involving themselves in education and providing help and support to develop people's business skills.
Winners are presented with a crystal bowl and are invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace.
They can use the Queen's Award emblem in advertising, marketing and on packaging for a period of five years, as a symbol of their quality and success.
Sir Thomas Winsor, Chief Inspector of Constabulary, said there was an "unacceptable strain" on police.
In his annual review on policing, he said the "inadequacy" of mental health provision should "disturb everyone".
Public safety is being put at risk as a result, he said.
"In some forces police officers end up acting as first responders when no ambulances are available...this is a worrying trend," Sir Thomas said.
Publishing the State of Policing report, he said there were cases of mentally ill people who had not committed a crime spending the night in a police cell because there were no healthcare beds available.
"Police are often being used to fill the gaps that other agencies cannot," said Sir Thomas.
"This is an unacceptable drain on police resources and it is a profoundly improper way to treat vulnerable people."
Until mental health receives the same resources and funding as physical health, the police will continue to play too much of a role in dealing with people with mental health issues, the report said.
There were almost 240,000 incidents in England and Northern Ireland last year in which mental health issues were handled by police, figures released earlier this year suggest.
In total, UK police forces dealt with nearly 300,000 incidents involving people with mental health problems last year, the figures suggest.
Sir Thomas paid tribute to the bravery of police officers in his report, saying they "do things that most of us would go out of our way to avoid".
He added: "This has been illustrated to a tragically graphic extent by the Westminster terrorist attack in which one very brave police officer, Pc Keith Palmer, lost his life."
His report also found that:
In his first annual report, Peter Clarke said the "grim situation" revealed in last year's report was now "even worse" is some areas.
Reforms have been jeopardised by legal highs among inmates, he added.
New Justice Secretary Liz Truss said she was under "no illusions" about the scale of the challenge to bring reform.
Last year, the outgoing inspector said prisons were in their worst state for 10 years.
Mr Clarke - who was appointed as chief inspector of prisons in January - said in some key areas the situation had got even worse since then.
He said there was "a simple and unpalatable truth about far too many of our prisons", adding: "They have become unacceptably violent and dangerous places".
Last year, there were more than 20,000 assaults - 27% up on the previous year - with six homicides in the 12 months to April 2016.
Incidents of self-harm rose by a quarter in 2015 to more than 32,000.
Mr Clarke said a large part of the violence was linked to the harm caused by new psychoactive substances, often referred to as legal highs, which were having a "dramatic and destabilising effect".
The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman identified 39 prison deaths linked to the use of legal highs between June 2013 and June 2015.
However, Mr Clarke said there was still "no national strategy" for dealing with the problem of legal highs in prisons.
He said he had met prisoners who had "self-segregated" in order to escape the violence caused by legal highs.
While some aspects of the problem with legal highs were being addressed by criminalising possession and better use of technology to test for the drugs, it wasn't enough, he added.
"A very clear strategy is required to deal with this threat to our prisons," he said.
Ms Truss said she wanted to see "radical reform" but was under "no illusions about the scale of the challenge we face or how long reform takes".
She was appointed as the justice minister last week - replacing Michael Gove, who had announced a series of reforms for prisons.
She said: "We have an ambitious agenda to modernise the prison estate, improve education and empower governors, so that we can tackle issues like drugs and violence which are key to cutting reoffending and keeping staff and prisoners safe."
Ms Truss said the report showed "why prison reform is so important", adding that she would "set out the next steps for this agenda in coming weeks".
Three grenades were thrown from a vehicle towards shops in Eastleigh, witnesses said.
No group has so far said it carried out the attack.
However, the area has suffered previous attacks that officials have blamed on Somalia's al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab militant group.
Kenya says al-Shabab is trying to destabilise the country.
The Citizen TV station reported that the blast happened on Eastleigh's Muratina road.
A reporter for Reuters news agency at the scene said one grenade had hit a butcher's shop next to a guest house, blowing a hole in the wall and shattering windows. The injured person had been a customer at the shop, Reuters said.
Eastleigh was hit by two grenade attacks earlier this month that left at least six people dead.
In November, Kenya accused al-Shabab of killing seven people in another grenade attack in the area.
Last year, Kenya sent its troops to fight al-Shabab in Somalia. They have now joined the 18,000-strong African Union (AU) force supporting the UN-backed government.
The flag caused alarm when it went up briefly on the Palais de la Prefecture on Monday, according to reports.
It was also displayed on Tuesday during the filming of an adaptation of Joseph Joffo's memoirs, A Bag of Marbles.
SS chief Alois Brunner used the Hotel Excelsior in Nice to co-ordinate his round up of Jews for the death camps.
Film crews were granted permission to use city's Palais de la Prefecture, which houses the national government office for the Alpes-Maritimes area, to represent the Hotel Excelsior under Nazi occupation during World War Two.
The red banner bearing the Nazi swastika shocked onlookers during a test run for the film on Monday morning, according to Nice-Matin (in French).
Andrew Gentry, who was visiting the city for a long weekend, sent photographs of the scene to the local newspaper and described how crowds began shouting as the flag was unveiled.
Speaking to the BBC, the Franco-American said two men could be seen on the roof of the building, then "boom, they are suddenly rolling down this Nazi flag".
"People started screaming... they were really agitated," he said.
"There was nothing around to explain what was going on. The scene was just surreal."
While many local people were angry at the sight of the flag, some tourists began taking selfies, he added.
After the outcry, the prefecture released a statement saying it had made every effort to make people aware of the operation, including contacting the city's Jewish community to explain.
It said the filming was part of the city's "duty to remember", and has described hosting it as an "honour".
Under the Italian occupation, the French Riviera had been one of the last places of refuge for Europe's Jews.
But when Italy signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1943, the Nazis invaded and Alois Brunner arrived with a special squad to round up Jewish residents.
The Austrian SS officer is accused of deporting more than 128,000 Jews to death camps in WW2.
One of the world's most wanted German Nazi war criminals, he is believed to have fled to Syria in the 1950s and he was sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in France in 2001.
For many years there has been uncertainty as to whether he is dead.
A Bag of Marbles, a film from Canadian director Christian Duguay, is an adaptation on Joseph Joffo's graphic novel, based on the author's own experience of fleeing Nazi-occupied Paris as a boy.
L/Cpl Ali Woodford, 26, died in 2015 in Germany after his reserve parachute failed to deploy fully in time.
The inquest heard L/Cpl Woodford and the unnamed private had been put on a "collision course" by instructors after the wind changed direction.
The coroner said the accident was "potentially avoidable".
L/Cpl Woodford, from North Petherton, Somerset, and the unnamed soldier were members of Chepstow-based 1st Battalion The Rifles.
They were learning to parachute at the training centre run by the Rhine Army Parachute Association in Sennelager.
The hearing, in Taunton, was told they were doing a 3,500ft (1,066m) static line jump and had been briefed by the senior instructor to land near a golf course.
It also heard that during the exercise the wind changed and the chief instructor told them to head towards the control tower instead - putting them on a collision course.
At 780ft (237m) they collided and became entangled and, despite deploying reserve parachutes, L/Cpl Woodford's reserve failed to deploy fully before he hit the ground.
The chief instructor had not given "any other" instructions after they collided and the training centre did not provide instructions on mid-air entanglements, the inquest heard.
Recording an accidental conclusion, Somerset Coroner Tony Williams said there had been a "whole catalogue of safety shortcomings and poor governance".
"This tragedy has enabled a review of Rhine Army Parachute Association which has identified that the training, supervision and control of the activity fell short of the standards that the military could reasonably expect of such a centre," he said.
"In my opinion, this was due to complacency, the complexity of structures and inadequate training, supervision and control of parachute operations."
L/Cpl Woodford joined the Army in 2011 and had served in Afghanistan. He was married to Samantha, a support worker. | A memorial to remember the hundreds of babies whose ashes were not given to their parents in Edinburgh is being planned for the Meadows.

A host of British films are being screened, while some of Britain's best talent - both on-screen and behind the camera - will be in town to promote their movies.
We have already mentioned films starring the likes of Eddie Redmayne, Kate Winslet and Emily Blunt in our ones to watch gallery.
But here is a closer look at some of the other British talent at TIFF.
Idris Elba stars in Netflix's first foray into original feature films. Based on Uzodinma Iweala's 2005 novel, it follows the tale of child soldier Agu who is torn away from his family to fight in the civil war of an unnamed African country. Elba plays the Commandant who teaches Agu the ways of war.
Set during the Chilean military coup of 1973, Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl star as young couple Lena and Daniel who are separated when Daniel is abducted by General Pinochet's secret police.
Louise Osmond's documentary follows the group of friends from a working men's club in Wales, who pooled their resources to breed racehorse Dream Alliance - which subsequently went on to win the 2009 Welsh Grand National.
Dame Helen Mirren stars as a London-based military intelligence officer remotely commanding a secret drone operation to capture a group of terrorists in Kenya. Also stars Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman and Barkhad Abdi.

Claims that 'the system' is now king have gained currently since Jim McGuinness led Donegal to the 2012 All-Ireland title.
However, forward McAliskey says Mickey Harte encourages his Tyrone players to use their own initiative.
"You have the freedom to emphasise your playing ability," insists McAliskey.
Clonoe forward McAliskey accepts that the Red Hands, under the tutelage of Harte, have worked hard to develop their counter-attacking style of play over the past 18 months.
"Everybody (in the panel) knows it inside out and what we are meant to do," McAliskey told BBC Sport Northern Ireland's Mark Sidebottom.
"People talk about that counter-attacking set-up but we're given freedom to go (and make our own decisions) when we do turn the ball over.
"There is no (rigid) set-up of how we are supposed to counter-attack. We just go and express ourselves.
"When you have the fitness to go and attack in numbers, and you have three or four doing that, that gives you the freedom to express your own playing ability. It's not a set system."
Manager Harte also rejects assertions that the rise of tactical plans and systems inevitably means that individual talent and initiative is being curbed.
"Every game takes on a script of its own," says the Tyrone boss.
"While people might get hung up a little bit and think everything is about systems and plans, there is still a lot of initiative required from good players to win games.
"I think we have plenty of players with initiative and the capacity to adapt and adjust.
"There's a basic script that you want to try and adhere to but you have to let people cut loose as well and do they do well which is becoming very creative players."
Guilfoil, who has been playing for 80 years, will attend the trials in Greensboro, North Carolina in February.
He also attempted to make the team for the 2012 Games, but missed out on a place in London.
"This year I'm going to practise more," Guilfoil told KMBC News. "It's exciting."
Guilfoil, who also plays tennis, has been teaching both sports at the Overland Park Racquet Club in Kansas City for nearly 40 years.
The oldest competitor at the London Games was 71-year-old Hiroshi Hoketsu, who took part in the dressage for Japan.
At the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn won a gold medal at the age of 64 years and 280 days.
Neil Roberts, 60, from Ballabeg was found dead at the house on Queen's Street, Castletown on 1 December 2013.
The footage shown at Douglas courthouse showed Mr Roberts' body on the living room floor as well as bloodstains on walls, floors, doors and fireplace.
Ian Anderson, 46 and from Castletown, denies murder.
The jury of seven women and five men were also joined by Deemster Alistair Montgomerie on a visit to the property.
The trial, which is expected to last for four weeks, continues.
The 6ft 8in, 22 stone lock played in three Premiership games for Sarries earlier this season after joining on a short-term deal from Super Rugby side Warratahs.
The 24-year-old has won 18 Test caps for the Wallabies.
"In a very short space of time here his contribution to the side was superb," head coach Mark McCall said.
"There's still so much more to come from him, which is incredibly exciting for us as he is already a proven international player."
Skelton will be unable to add to his Test caps while with Saracens, as the Australian Rugby Union prevents overseas players with fewer than 60 caps from playing for the national side.
"Not being able to pull on the gold jersey while I am playing in England has made the decision especially difficult, but this is about family as much as it is football," Skelton told the club website.
"One day I'd love to play for Australia again and if that opportunity comes up I will give everything I've got for my country."
Patrick Stefanini said his resignation will take effect on Sunday night.
Earlier, the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) called on Mr Fillon's Republican Party to choose another candidate in the wake of a scandal over payments.
It is alleged his wife and children were paid for parliamentary work they never carried out.
Details of his campaign chief's departure emerged when the French newspaper Journal du Dimanche published Mr Stefanini's resignation letter.
In it, he gave two reasons - writing that he had advised Mr Fillon to cease his campaign after an investigation began into his financial affairs.
After Mr Fillon decided to continue, he found himself in a minority in his political team, he wrote, and "no longer in the best position to lead your campaign".
The other reason, he wrote, was that Mr Fillon could no longer be certain of not being eliminated in the first round of voting.
Mr Fillon has already lost several key members of his campaign team, and several MPs from his own party are campaigning to replace him with Alain Juppe.
Mr Juppe lost the November primary election to Mr Fillon.
But despite the increasing pressure, Mr Fillon, 62, denies any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a "political assassination".
The loss of support from the UDI represents a major challenge for his campaign.
The BBC's Paris correspondent, Hugh Schofield, said that while the UDI is a small party with 28 MPs, its alliance with the Republicans is important.
As a centrist party, it broadens the Republicans' base, he said.
UDI leader Jean-Christophe Lagarde said Mr Fillon had become a liability, and that as long as he was a candidate, the centre-right was heading for certain failure.
Separately, National Front candidate Marine Le Pen has refused to attend a summons over misuse of EU funds.
Her legal advisers said she would not attend before the election. "Of course she won't go," her lawyer told reporters.
Ms Le Pen's party is accused of misusing more than €300,000 (£257,000; $321,000) of European Parliament funding.
As a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Ms Le Pen is immune to prosecution during sessions of the parliament - a measure designed to ensure the independence of members and protect them from pressure in form of legal threats.
The European Parliament can vote to lift Ms Le Pen's immunity - as they did on Thursday regarding her use of images of violence carried out by so-called Islamic State.
However, the parliament would have to carry out the same procedure again to lift her immunity on the EU funds investigation.
She has also refused a police interview on the topic on the same grounds.
The legal issues surrounding both candidates have lifted the prospects of a third contender - centrist Emmanuel Macron.
On Friday, a poll showed Mr Macron finishing ahead of Marine Le Pen in the first round for the first time - though the pair remain close in popularity.
The election takes place in two rounds in April and May. If no candidate achieves a majority in April, a run-off election will take place between the top two the following month.
Georgina Symonds's body was found at a workshop at Beech Hill Farm, in Usk, Monmouthshire, on 13 January.
A hearing at Gwent Coroner's Court, in Newport, was adjourned for three months for police to continue their inquiries.
Peter Morgan, 53, of Abergavenny, has been charged with her murder.
Burrow, 34, has spent his entire career with the Rhinos, making 486 appearances to date since his debut in 2001.
He has helped the club win seven Super League titles, three World Club Challenges and two Challenge Cups and will now step into coaching with Leeds.
"I want to go out on my terms; I never wanted to carry on playing just to pick up a shirt and not be involved in the games," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"I always wanted to go out on a high and I think now is the right time to move on with the next chapter."
Leeds head coach Brian McDermott told the club website: "Rob will be remembered as one of the greats of our game, not just in the Super League era but throughout the history of the sport."
As well as being the fifth-highest appearance-maker of all time for Leeds, Burrow has won 15 caps for England and five for Great Britain.
Burrow's new role will see him working in the player performance department, and the club's youth and talent development programme.
Meanwhile, academy player Jack Walker, 17, has turned down the offer of a three-year contract with Leeds, citing the desire to "keep options open."
Stenson entered his guilty plea at a case management hearing.
His plea follows an investigation by Operation Pinetree - the police inquiry into the features desk at the paper.
His co-defendant Neil Wallis, the News of the World's former deputy editor, pleaded not guilty.
Mr Wallis is expected to go on trial next June.
Both men were accused of conspiring to illegally listen to voicemails with Andy Coulson, Greg Miskiw, James Weatherup, Neville Thurlbeck, Dan Evans, Ian Edmondson, Glenn Mulcaire and others unknown between January 2003 and January 2007.
The other individuals named aside from Stenson and Mr Wallis were charged under the Metropolitan Police's main phone-hacking investigation, Operation Weeting.
The trial of two former News of the World editors, Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, heard that Stenson set up a phone-hacking operation on the features desk to rival that run by the news desk.
Mrs Brooks was found not guilty of phone-hacking charges. Coulson was found guilty of conspiracy to intercept phone messages and served five months in prison.
Reporter Dan Evans, who admitted phone hacking, gave evidence during their trial that Stenson employed him specifically to do "stuff with phones".
Phil Verster, who has been in the post since May 2015, is to become managing director of the East West rail project between Oxford and Cambridge.
The 53-year-old has been facing intense pressure in recent months, because of the rail service's failure to meet targets on punctuality and reliability.
The identity of his successor will be announced in the coming days.
Earlier this week, Mr Verster sparked a row at Holyrood over who would pay for free travel for season ticket holders as compensation for ScotRail train delays.
ScotRail Alliance was formed as a partnership involving Abellio ScotRail and Network Rail, intended to improve performance through cooperation between the rail operator and the rail infrastructure company.
Mr Verster said: "Over the last two years I have worked with my team to launch the ScotRail Alliance, delivering hundreds of commitments and laying the ground for the exciting new train fleets that will start to arrive later this year.
"The opportunity to build on these same principles with the creation of a new business such as East West Rail is great for me and my family, and I wish the ScotRail Alliance team all the best for the future."
Mark Carne, the chief executive of Network Rail, said: "Phil has done a great job setting up the ScotRail Alliance and overseeing the delivery of one of the largest programmes of rail modernisation in Scotland since Victorian times.
"I am delighted that a leader of Phil's calibre will be heading up the new East West rail project.
"We have agreed a replacement to succeed Phil and will be making an announcement shortly."
During Mr Verster's time in charge, Abellio ScotRail has faced calls for it to be stripped of the £7bn 10-year franchise.
Transport Scotland ordered ScotRail to put in place an improvement plan after 2016 saw its performance slip below contracted standards.
Mr Verster has previously been Network Rail's managing director for London North East and deputy chief executive officer at Irish Rail.
At the time of his appointment, Dutch contract holder Abellio said his track record on improvement and safety made him an "ideal candidate".
A Scottish government spokesman said: "We are grateful to Phil Verster for his hard work during a transitional time in charge of Abellio ScotRail and the ScotRail Alliance and wish him well in his next venture.
"He has overseen many improvements and considerable investment which will ultimately lead to major benefits for passengers.
"As ever, our focus is not on individuals but helping the industry to deliver the best possible service for Scotland. There will be no let-up as we strive to help ScotRail and others improve the passenger experience over the coming weeks and months."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Liam Kerr said: "Recent developments showed that there was friction between ScotRail and the SNP government, and Phil Verster's resignation further proves this.
"This is yet more bad news for Scottish passengers, and raises questions about what impact this will have on improvements to our rail network."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said passengers were "fed up with delayed, overcrowded and cancelled trains" and added: "It's clear the relationship between the SNP and ScotRail has broken down."
Green MSP Alison Johnstone said ScotRail's performance "has not been good enough" but said changing the person in charge would "make little difference".

Anderson and Root thrilled a packed Trent Bridge to put on 198 - surpassing the 163 scored by Australia's Phil Hughes and Ashton Agar at the same ground last year.
Anderson scored 81 - the highest score by an England number 11 - with Root unbeaten on 154 as England made 496 to open up a first-innings lead of 39.
The late wickets of Murali Vijay (52) and Cheteshwar Pujara (55) in successive balls left India on 167-3, 128 ahead with one day remaining.
Although the draw remains by far the most likely result, England will know that quick wickets on Sunday could yet leave them with a tempting target on a pitch that remains good for batting on.
Anderson told BBC Sport: "It's still sinking in what we've achieved. It's a great day for us and we're really happy we've got our team back in the game.
"We can come here tomorrow and put a bit of pressure on the Indians in the morning. If we get a couple of early ones, who knows what could happen?"
Root, who began the day on 78 with England 352-9, completed his fourth Test hundred off 186 balls as he and Anderson frustrated the India bowlers.
Anderson, 23 not out overnight, was dropped on 46 but delighted a capacity crowd in recording the first fifty of his 168-match first-class career.
His innings surpassed the previous highest score by an England number 11, the 59 not out made by John Snow in 1966.
Clearly irked, India captain Mahendra Dhoni crowded men around Anderson's bat, but the tailender responded by finding the boundary with upper-cuts, reverse sweeps and pulls.
Root, who frequently turned down singles to shield Anderson from the strike, was more orthodox, driving crisply on both sides of the wickets as he posted his third score of 150 or more in 18 Tests.
Having reached lunch on 81, Anderson looked poised to become the first number 11 to score a Test hundred.
But before he could add another run to his score, an edge off Bhuvneshwar Kumar carried to first slip, where Shikhar Dhawan dived to his right to claim a fine one-handed catch.
Anderson's delight at his record-breaking batting feats soon turned to dismay as England wasted an early chance off his bowling. Vijay edged a full delivery but wicketkeeper Matt Prior was late diving and could not get a glove to the ball.
The openers added 49 before Dhawan brought about his own demise. Having breezed to a run-a-ball 29, he cracked a low full toss from Moeen Ali straight back to the bowler.
For nearly 30 overs, India were cruising, with Vijay and Pujara both making half-centuries.
But in the final half hour, Vijay was caught behind trying to smash Moeen out of the ground and Pujara cut Liam Plunkett to Ben Stokes at backward point off the next ball.
Another wicket or two would have put England in a position of real strength, but Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane calmly saw out the last six overs to leave the hosts requiring early breakthroughs on Sunday to keep alive their hopes of an unlikely win.

Sri Lankan Shiromini Satkunarajah, 20, had been taken to a detention centre after being refused asylum.
After a National Union of Students (NUS) petition backing her bid to stay attracted more 167,000 signatures, she was told she could remain in the UK.
She said there are still "a lot of uncertainties", but she wanted to get back to "lectures and normal life".
Miss Satkunarajah, who was born in Sri Lanka but has lived in the UK for eight years, is due to finish her electrical engineering degree this summer.
But she was arrested and taken to Yarls' Wood Detention Centre in Bedfordshire to await deportation with her mother on Tuesday.
Miss Satkunarajah has only three months left before graduating.
Arfon MP Hywel Williams raised a Point of Order in the House of Commons about her plight, and Bangor's vice chancellor wrote to the Home Office.
Miss Satkunarajah said she was "particularly thankful" to Mr Williams for "everything he's done".
She added: "Thanks to everyone who signed the petition and shared it and helped me in whatever way they could. Thanks to those involved in making the decision to defer my deportation.
"I am now delighted to be back at Bangor University and I very much hope I can complete my course.
"I wish to get back to my lectures and normal life as soon as possible to increase my chances of getting a first-class degree."
She said being detained came as a "big shock" and described the experience as "quite traumatic."
"There are still a lot of uncertainties, and that is worrying for me and my family, but now I want to concentrate on my studies."
Bangor University vice-chancellor Prof John Hughes said he is "delighted" Miss Satkunarajah has now returned to Bangor and that "very much hoped she will be allowed to remain to complete her degree".
Following manager Steve Burr's sacking after Tuesday's 2-0 defeat at Torquay, the Cestrians trailed again through Robbie McDaid's 38th-minute header.
Chester substitute James Alabi then came off the bench to head in a superb hanging cross from John Rooney.
But Matt Rhead nodded on Lee Beevers' cross for Imps sub George Maris to net.
Chester had to play the final quarter of an hour with 10 men after losing top scorer Ross Hannah, just two minutes after Alabi's 73rd-minute equaliser.
The Imps' 81st-minute winner, in their first game since manager Chris Moyses announced his end-of-season departure, earned their first victory in six games.
It leaves Chester in 17th, still four points clear of trouble, but having played one match more than most of the teams around them.
They have now picked up just three points from seven games since beating Aldershot 8-2 last month - the biggest win Chester fans had seen since 1972.
Alabi had not scored in six starts since his four goals that night, but at least responded to being dropped by ending his personal drought.
Lincoln City coach David Preece told BBC Radio Lincolnshire:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It was familiar territory, wasn't it? Going 1-0 up and being pegged back but this time it was different. We showed a bit more resilience. We were always in control in the first half.
"Sometimes this season we've been accused of not having a Plan B, but what everyone's seen as Plan A all season turned out to be Plan B.
"We just want to finish the season as strong as possible. It's been a big week for the club and the players and sometimes when things like that happen you don't know how players are going to react, but this shows how Chris Moyses has always had the backing of the boys and he will do until he steps down."
Chester caretaker manager Jon McCarthy told BBC Radio Merseyside:
"I'm certain we would have taken at least a point, so to be hit by the blow of losing Ross Hannah is really frustrating. We definitely would have got something.
"We'd just gone 1-1, we'd turned the game completely around and, with the psychology of that, everybody knows we were waiting for that.
"You would have seen Lincoln go under a little bit and our players grow an extra six inches and that we feel would have been chance to go on and win."
Merseyside Police's Protecting Vulnerable People Unit visited homes in Wirral, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and North Wales on Thursday.
They arrested 14 men for various offences including serious assault, rape, sexual assault, and harassment.
Police said the operation showed victims they would be taken seriously.
Det Supt Chris Green said: "These arrests have been for alleged offences such as choking a woman in front of her children, coercing a partner into non-consensual sex, sending threatening text messages to an ex-girlfriend, and even the attempted robbery of a relative.
"These kind of offences can all form part of a wider pattern of abusive, controlling behaviour that some vulnerable victims sadly suffer for many years before deciding to speak out."
Speaking in Cardiff Bay, he and deputy PM Nick Clegg announced new financial powers for the devolved administration.
They include control of the stamp duty paid by house buyers and powers to finance upgrades on the M4.
It follows the publication of a report last year which said the Welsh government should have new tax powers.
At present Wales' devolved administration cannot vary taxes or borrow money, and gets its budget in a grant from the Treasury.
Last November the Silk Commission, set up by the Westminster coalition, said the Welsh government should be responsible for raising some of the money it spends.
It included a recommendation to devolve powers to vary a portion of income tax by 2020, following a referendum.
Mr Cameron said Wales will be given borrowing powers, control of landfill tax and stamp duty, and a House of Commons bill giving permission to hold a referendum on the devolution of income tax.
"Today is about a strong and responsible future for Wales," he announced at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.
"Today we are announcing more power for the Welsh people and the Welsh government.
"Power that's about building this country up, power that's about making sure we have real accountable government here in Wales.
"And power that's about ensuring what I want and what I know what the deputy prime minister wants and the first minister wants, which is a strong Wales inside a strong United Kingdom."
Mr Cameron said the decision will give new borrowing powers to make improvements of the M4 which, is a "foot in the windpipe of the Welsh economy".
Land tax and stamp duty will also be devolved.
"I think it is good for a government to be responsible for raising some of the money it spends," Mr Cameron said.
Mr Clegg said it was a "significant" moment for Wales and "further conversations" could be had in the future about more devolution powers.
"It is not the end, we look forward to seeing the recommendations in the second part of Silk," he added.
Mr Cameron went on: "We are going to put forward a bill in the House of Commons for a referendum. It will be their (Welsh government) decision whether to trigger the referendum.
By Tomos LivingstoneBBC Wales political correspondent
The debate in Wales has been about how strengthen devolution and make the system work a bit better.
The most significant development is Wales would have the power to vary income tax, subject to a referendum.
David Cameron says it is all about Wales taking responsibility.
There are some politicians already talking about cutting taxes in Wales, but that is still 10 years away.
"If they do, it will be for the Welsh people to decide if they want these new powers."
Mr Cameron also announced the Nato summit will be held in Wales in 2014.
"There will be as many as 60 heads of state and government coming to this important Nato conference, it will be the first time since 1990 that the United Kingdom has hosted this conference - the most important defence alliance that we have," he said.
"I'm delighted we're going to be doing it right here in Wales. I think it will be an excellent opportunity to showcase the best of what modern Wales has to offer the whole world.
"It'll be good for jobs, it'll be good for investment, it'll be good for business. It'll be a great advertisement for the success that Wales and the Welsh economy is."
Mr Cameron went on: "Scotland has got the Commonwealth Games, London had the Olympics, Northern Ireland the G8, now it's Wales' turn."
First Minister Carwyn Jones said he was "delighted" at the announcement of the Nato conference.
"Dozens of heads of government will attend the Nato Summit," said Mr Jones.
"Obviously these will include the Heads from Nato's Member States in Europe and North America but also, I understand, delegates from many countries beyond Nato's borders.
"This is a brilliant chance to showcase Wales," he said.
Speaking about the announcement of the tax raising powers, Mr Jones, who had previously criticised the delay in the announcement from the UK government, said: "Today is an important day for Wales. We are now being treated like equals in the UK.
"We are not in favour of devolution of income tax until the Barnett formula is reformed to provide fairer funding for Wales.
"We need to be able to borrow to improve our infrastructure, such as the M4 around Newport as well as the A55 in north Wales.
"This announcement today goes a long way to show devolution works and further strengthens the UK."
Mr Jones later told BBC Wales that the M4 relief road proposal was still out to consultation and there had been "no final decision".
"We know there's an issue surrounding the traffic flows around the Brynglas tunnels that will need to be addressed somehow but, of course, that consultation is still ongoing," he added.
Welsh Secretary David Jones said on Twitter the UK government is committed to giving the Welsh government "tools it needs to renew" its infrastructure.
"These measures will make the Assembly & the Welsh Government more accountable to the people of Wales who elect them," he added.
By Brian MeechanBBC Wales Business Correspondent
Having more powers is one thing but, of course, it is how you use them that really matters.
The Welsh government will now be able to borrow money, like other devolved administrations.
Ministers have already indicated that this will fund the M4 relief road around Newport.
Business leaders, including the CBI Wales, have welcomed this as a vital improvement that will benefit the economy.
The Federation of Small Businesses disagrees. It says small and micro businesses would benefit more if the expected £1bn that is planned for the M4 was spent on other projects including road improvements across Wales rather than in one area.
Stamp duty will also be devolved. At the moment house buyers start paying it at £125,000. If that was increased, it could give a boost to the housing market.
While the Welsh government got most of the smaller taxes it wanted. It did not get the power to vary long haul air passenger duty that was recommended by Silk.
It had hoped to use this to attract airlines offering transatlantic flights from Cardiff Airport.
While it is certainly a historic day, it is worth remembering - taxes can go up as well as down.
Following the announcement, Finance Minister Jane Hutt revealed a new Welsh treasury will be established.
"We've always said we want these powers for a purpose. We now have the tools we need to boost the Welsh economy.
"This is a step forward for a maturing democracy. We will now press ahead with establishing a Welsh treasury.
"Powers for a purpose. Borrowing for a purpose. We now need to get on and improve our infrastructure and boost our economy."
After the announcement, Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler repeated her call for more AMs.
"This is a significant step forward in our growing institutional maturity as a fully fledged legislature," she said.
"This announcement today reaffirms, in my view, the need for an assembly with greater capacity and with more AMs to robustly scrutinise the Welsh government on what will be important and difficult decisions around Welsh taxation and borrowing."
After the press conference, Mr Cameron and the Welsh secretary visited Owens Logistics, in Newport, to discuss the importance of the M4 upgrade. Meanwhile Mr Clegg visited a £1bn sustainable community called Glan Llyn being built on the former Llanwern steelworks site.
Lisa Foster was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer - the highest level of spread - three weeks ago.
She started raising the money so that someone can care for Ruby, Zach and baby Scarlett while she is treated.
Mrs Foster, from Derbyshire, said the nanny would also provide extra support for her husband if the worst happened.
"I just can't believe the generosity of this world and I will be forever grateful to all of those hundreds who have donated. They really have helped me," she said.
"I want to enjoy every single minute, of every single day, of every single month now of what I've got left."
Her eldest child Ruby is seven, her son Zach is four, and her baby Scarlett is seven and a half months old.
She said her biggest motivation for fighting cancer was to live long enough so that Scarlett might remember her.
She also hoped to see Scarlett's first steps or hear her first word, see Zach on his first day at school and see Ruby start secondary school.
She is recording videos for her children to watch at key milestones in their lives, such as their 18th birthdays.
Mrs Foster raised the money online through a fundraising page and exceeded her £50,000 target thanks to donations from more than a thousand people.
"A lot of people have said they feel for me because they're a similar age and they have three children," said the 36-year-old.
"If I can get a year that means I can see Zack's first day at school, I can see Scarlett maybe start walking or saying her first word, and that's what's going to keep me going."
Nick Hardwick was detailing the findings of a report into the prison.
It was jointly compiled by Mr Hardwick and Brendan McGuigan, chief inspector of Criminal Justice NI.
Inspectors visited Maghaberry in May and found it in a "state of crisis".
They found it was "unsafe and unstable" for prisoners and staff.
The report is one of the most critical of any prison in the UK.
It said there were significant failures in leadership.

Mr Hardwick said the prison was the "most dangerous prison" he had ever been in during his time as a chief inspector.
"It's not safe for the prisoners health, it's not safe for the staff who care for them and it's not safe for the communities into which these men will be returned with very little done to reduce the risk that they will stop offending," he told a press conference on Thursday.
He described it as a "very worrying and disturbing public institution" and said Charles Dickens could write about Maghaberry "without batting an eyelid".
Mr McGuigan said their report on Maghaberry was the "most concerning ever" regarding a prison in Northern Ireland.
"What we found was a highly complex prison that was in crisis and it is our view that the leadership of the prison had failed to ensure it was both safe and stable," they said in a joint statement.
"We had real concerns that if the issues identified in this report were not addressed as a matter of urgency, serious disorder or loss of life could occur."
A team of more than 20 inspectors spent almost two weeks assessing conditions at Maghaberry in May.
Reports criticising conditions within prisons in Northern Ireland are nothing new.
But this one is in a different league. It is by far the most critical ever published.
A prison described by the government's chief inspector of prisons as the most dangerous he has ever set foot in.
Read more of Vincent Kearney's analysis here.
Northern Ireland's Justice Minister, David Ford, said action was already under way to address the issues raised in the inspection report. Mr Ford also said he does not intend to resign after the report.
In addition to the two criminal justice organisations, the health watchdog, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority and the Education and Training Inspectorate, were also involved.
Inspectors measured Maghaberry's performance against four internationally recognised criteria: safety, respect, purposeful activity and resettlement.
In three of those areas, safety, respect, and purposeful activity, the inspectors labelled performance as "poor", the lowest possible ranking.
In the area of resettlement, they described performance as "reasonably good".
It said far more prisoners than in previous inspections said they felt unsafe and drugs were more widely available.
It also said some staff were the subjects of credible threats, with some fearful of prisoners.
Staff absence during the period of the inspection was described as high.
As a result, substantial numbers of prisoners were spending long periods of time locked in their cells, limiting access to education, showers, opportunities to make telephone calls to family and friends and to carry out everyday domestic tasks.
The inspectors said this "contributed to the overall instability of the prison".
The report also said levels of assaults and rates of self-harm among prisoners had increased, with inspectors told "a great deal of bullying and incidents of physical violence, were going unreported".
It is also critical of the regime in a small section of the prison for dissident republicans, who are held in a separate unit, called Roe House.
They account for just 5% of the overall prison population, but a much greater proportion of the resources, with staff from other areas often diverted there.
"Giving preference to maintaining the regime for separated prisoners over every other area in the prison is unfair and has a negative impact on more than 900 men who make up the majority of the prison population," the report said.
"This position is untenable and a radical new approach is now required.
"To assist with this process we recommend that should it remain necessary to manage the separated units in this way, their location, management, and resources should be treated as stand alone to that of the main prison."
The report was also critical regarding the provision of health care in the prison.
"Inspectors were very concerned that aspects of health care provision had deteriorated since the previous inspection," the report added.
"In our view it was falling short and not meeting the complex needs of the prison population.
"Some areas of health care including chronic disease management and substance misuse, were considered by inspectors to be unsafe."
The inspectors were so concerned by what they found in Maghaberry that they have taken the unprecedented step of announcing they will go back in January to assess the response of the prison service to its findings.
They also called on Northern Ireland's politicians to read the report and take "urgent action".
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is linked to heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
The study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, shows the link is stronger in women than in men.
The British Heart Foundation said the findings supported the link between deprivation and heart disease risk.
Higher levels of education have been linked to lower levels of heart disease. The researchers suggest that blood pressure could be the reason why.
The study looked at 30 years of data from 3,890 people who were being followed as part of the Framingham Offspring Study.
People were divided into three groups, low education (12 years or less), middle education (13 to 16 years) and high education (17 years or more).
The average systolic blood pressure for the 30 year period was then calculated.
Women with low education had a blood pressure 3.26 mmHg higher than those with a high level of education. In men the difference was 2.26 mmHg.
Other factors, such as smoking, taking blood pressure medication and drinking, were taken into consideration and the effect on blood pressure remained, although at a much lower level.
Writing in the journal, the researchers says: "Low educational attainment has been demonstrated to predispose individuals to high strain jobs, characterised by high levels of demand and low levels of control, which have been associated with elevated blood pressure."
Professor Eric Loucks, who conducted the study at Brown University, said: "Women with less education are more likely to be experiencing depression, they are more likely to be single parents, more likely to be living in impoverished areas and more likely to be living below the poverty line."
Natasha Stewart, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "These findings support existing evidence about the link between socio-economic deprivation and heart disease risk.
"However, the study only showed up a small blood pressure drop among women and an insignificant decrease among men.
"Action is needed across all parts of society to give children the best possible start in life and reduce health inequalities."
In the first of four Tests, England led 2-1 at the break and scored twice late on to secure a comfortable victory.
Chris Griffiths, Sam Ward, Michael Hoare, Liam Ansell and David Goodfield scored for a much-changed England side.
"We were a little inconsistent as the group are learning about international hockey but it was nice to pick up a victory," said coach Bobby Crutchley.
England, who have six Olympians in their squad, are back in action against Germany on Saturday.
They then face a rematch with the hosts on Monday and another meeting with the Germans on Wednesday.
Phil Roper will miss those games, though, after being hit in the face by a ball during training. He is due to undergo surgery on Friday on a fractured cheek and nose.
England's women are also in South Africa and a squad boasting seven players who won Olympic gold in Rio have beaten their hosts 4-2 and 3-0 in two practice matches.
A coalition of Conservatives and independents is to replace the previous SNP/Lib Dem/independent alliance.
The Tories won most seats last week with 15, ahead of the SNP on nine, eight independents and two Lib Dems.
The administration has to be officially approved by full council on 18 May. It will see newly elected Conservative Shona Haslam take over as leader from independent David Parker.
Conservative group leader Michelle Ballantyne said she was delighted with the proposed coalition.
"We have worked hard to ensure that our administration will use the skills of its members to deliver the best services for the people of the Borders," she said.
"At last week's local elections, the Scottish Borders voted for change and the new administration will bring a fresh approach to providing that change.
"We have a lot of new members and we are not going to be afraid to use their skills from the outset."
Independent group leader Sandy Aitchison said he was also pleased with the outcome.
"It is fantastic to have 19 new elected members with fresh thinking and new ideas," he said.
"All of us in the new administration are keen to make the most of the new opportunities and energy of the council."
Ms Ballantyne is set to take up a position as a list MSP in the weeks to come but she has yet to decide whether she will continue in her role as a councillor after taking on that post.
Former leader David Parker will move to the role of convener, with responsibility for health.
Ms Ballantyne said: "We are delighted that David will be appointed to the role of convener, a not insignificant position, that is vital for the smooth and effective running of the council.
"David will play an integral part in assisting the new administration in embracing the challenges ahead."

But Tanzanian-born Juliet Sargeant has done just that, using her exhibition at the Chelsea Flower Show in London to highlight what campaigners call modern-day slavery, including forced labour and prostitution.

Greg Binnie, 19, earlier pleaded guilty to running at and making offensive gestures towards Rangers' goalkeeper Wes Foderingham after climbing over fencing at Hampden Park on 21 May.
Binnie must also stay in his home between 20:00 and 06:00 for two months.
The teenager, from Ratho in Edinburgh, was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was charged under the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act and accused of being engaged in behaviour which was likely to incite trouble.
Binnie was also given a two-year football banning order.
Hibernian FC have issued Binnie with an indefinite ban from watching the team playing or buying any tickets for home or away games.
The court heard Binnie climbed over fencing and entered the field of play immediately after the end of the match between Rangers and Hibs, which the Edinburgh side won 3-2 after a last minute goal.
Binnie, a former SFA intern, was working as a squash coach at George Watson's college in Edinburgh but has since lost his job.
Sheriff Ian Miller told Binnie, who is a sports coaching student: "I see no public utility in sending you to prison, instead I see a much greater public benefit in giving you the chance to use your considerable gift and talent in a way, while giving others a chance to take advantage of this gift and talent."
The court heard Binnie had no previous convictions and testimonies on his behalf from college lecturers and others were given to the court for consideration.
Defence counsel Lorenzo Alonzi described Binnie's actions as "boyhood stupidity".
He said it was "stupidity arising out of the sheer excitement of the situation".
The lawyer said: "Mr Binnie has already been punished significantly as a result of the direct consequence following his actions that day."
The court heard both he and his mother had received threats on social media and that it he was "genuinely remorseful".
A million people now live in homes with solar panels on the roof, and she says that number needs to increase further.
Yet the residents of one small town in Cornwall need no extra persuasion.
Around 500 houses in Wadebridge on the Camel estuary already have panels on their roofs - nearly 10% of homes in the area - making the town a contender for the solar power 'capital' of the UK.
"It is fairly likely from the information we've been able to gather that Wadebridge has the highest concentration of panels in the country," says Jerry Clark, of the town's Renewable Energy Network.
Cornwall, with 1,541 sunshine hours every year, is particularly rich in this resource.
But people living anywhere in the UK can also benefit.
Providing you are prepared to invest at least £5,000 - and wait for a decade to get your money back - the eventual savings could be considerable.
Steve Kessell, who runs a bed and breakfast in Wadebridge, installed solar panels three years ago.
His savings, taking into account the subsidy he gets for generating electricity, and the lower bill from his energy supplier, amount to £1,800 a year.
He expects to break even on his installation costs within six years.
While that figure is typical for Cornwall, anyone living on the same line of latitude as London can expect to break even in 10 years - and farther north on the latitude of Stirling in Scotland in 12 years.
"I'm quite delighted I've got the panels," he says. "And quite often I wonder whether this business would have been profitable, or as profitable, without them."
Since there is, as yet, no way of storing the power he generates, Steve tries to use as much energy as he can during the day. You can save more by cooking, washing and ironing during daylight hours. But the system still works when it's cloudy.
"At times, it will even generate when there's a full moon - even though it's just a trickle," he says.
Solar panels don't usually need planning permission, unless you live in a conservation area.
But there are some key practical considerations.
Your roof shouldn't have any shading, either from trees, nearby buildings or chimneys.
The angle of the roof should be between 10 and 40 degrees from horizontal, and it should face south or south-west. Up to 40 degrees west of south, or 30 degrees east of south, is ideal.
"They also work better when they're not so hot," advises Merlin Hyman, the chief executive of Regen SW, which supports renewable energy in the West country.
"So a sea breeze is good."
You will get a higher subsidy if your home is already energy efficient - rating at least a Band D on its Energy Proficiency Certificate (EPC).
At the moment, solar power only makes economic sense thanks to public subsidies - which we pay through the green levy on our electricity bills.
Houses produce 55% of the UK's CO2 emissions, so the subsidy is designed to help meet climate change targets.
It means the government pays you to produce renewable energy, whether you actually use it or not.
This is the so-called Feed in Tariff (FiT).
The first element is the generation FiT - the amount you are paid for the electricity you generate.
The rate of this is gradually reducing, and will next go down on 1 July. You will then be paid at this rate - plus inflation - for 20 years.

In compensation for falling FiT rates, the cost of installing solar panels is going down too.
Three years ago Steve Kessell paid £10,000. Now the same system can be installed for between £5,000-8,000.
The second element of the FiT is the export rate. This covers the energy you don't use yourself, but instead return to the grid. But it is lower than the generation element.
Hence it is more economical to use as much of your own energy as you can, rather than exporting it.
"The more you use in your home, the more you're going to make savings," says James Wakelin of the Energy Saving Trust (EST).
"Pensioners, or those who work at home, will save a lot more than those who work out of the house from nine to five."
Given the time it takes to get your money back, investing in solar energy is still a bold decision.
If you move house in the meantime, the new buyer may or may not appreciate the value of the system you've installed.
However, moves to produce batteries to store home-produced energy could further revolutionise the economics of solar power.
Should they prove effective, the town of Wadebridge would not only be self-sufficient in energy, but it could become a net exporter too.
A British town exporting sunlight? Now you've heard it all.
The announcement, made on Twitter on Friday afternoon, removes Reince Priebus from the role.
The embattled former chief of staff had faced pressure since being named as a possible leaker by Mr Trump's newly appointed director of communication.
Mr Priebus told CNN he resigned on Thursday after talking with Mr Trump.
"The president wanted to go in a different direction," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, adding that he thought Gen Kelly was "a brilliant pick".
End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump
Anthony Scaramucci, who was appointed communications director one week ago, had accused Mr Priebus - a Republican Party stalwart - of leaking to the press.
He also phoned a reporter to unleash a profanity-filled rant against Mr Priebus, whom he called a "paranoid schizophrenic".
Gen Kelly is a retired general who has become the face of border security.
In a series of tweets just before 17:00 (22:00 GMT) on Friday, the president praised the former Marine Corps general as a "great American" and a "great leader".
"John has done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my administration," said the president.
He will start work on Monday, a White House spokesperson says.
Gen Kelly's deputy, Elaine Duke, will become acting head of the Department of Homeland Security.
In a third tweet, President Trump praised the outgoing chief of staff, who had previously worked as the chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
"I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him," he said.
In his previous role as RNC chairman, he acted as a bridge between the Republican nominee and a party establishment that was often uncomfortable with its own presidential standard-bearer.
By Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington
Was there really any doubt who Donald Trump was going to side with in the Priebus-Scaramucci feud?
The newly appointed communications director took dead aim at the chief of staff online and on-air this week, calling him a "paranoid schizophrenic".
Well, as the saying goes, even paranoids have enemies. On Friday afternoon the axe fell.
With Priebus's departure, the purge of establishment Republicans within the Trump White House is in full swing. The former head of the Republican National Committee was brought in as a veteran Washington player to help bridge the insider-outsider gap in the administration, but instead he tumbled into the chasm.
It's clear, in tweets and comments, that Mr Trump believes the Republican Party does not have his best interests in mind. Now he's cutting the party loose.
By all accounts Priebus's successor, John Kelly, is a well liked, highly respected man. His selection is yet another example of Mr Trump's preference for military brass in positions of authority.
His managerial skills will be sorely tested, however, by a White House staff that has been wracked by internal strife. Leading an army into battle may seem easy by comparison.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said she did not think the administration's relationship with the Republican Party would be affected by Mr Priebus's exit.
"I think we've still got a good relationship. We're going to continue working with the party and doing what we came here to do," she said.
House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, a close friend of Mr Priebus and a fellow Republican, said he had served "the president and the American people capably and passionately".
"He has achieved so much, and he has done it all with class. I could not be more proud to call Reince a dear friend," he said.
Those who go into an overdraft on a regular basis could save as much as £260 a year by switching accounts.
There are 68 million active personal current accounts in the UK, but only 3% of customers switched last year.
So, what does the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) suggest to get those customers moving and, perhaps more importantly, what proposals does it rule out?
Boring, yes. A bit of a hassle, yes. But actually the process is a lot less painful than it used to be.
Customers need to choose a new bank and account. If the bank or building society is part of the current account switch guarantee (and most of them are) you choose a date for the switch to start.
The new bank will switch over the customer's balance and all direct debits and standing orders. The process should be complete within seven working days and, for the next 36 months, any payments made accidentally to the old account will be redirected automatically.
That is more difficult, almost impossible in fact, owing to the design of most current accounts in the UK retail banking sector. Customers generally do not pay an upfront charge or a subscription to have a bank account, unless it is a specific packaged account.
The idea that the account is free is actually a myth. Some interest that could be paid is foregone in order for the banks to make money from the account. There are also charges when a customer goes into the red with an overdraft.
So, whether customers are getting a good deal depends on their circumstances. Do they use the overdraft? Do they benefit from other services that come with the account? Is the interest rate any good?
All of that requires a bit of homework.
As for the banks, they love current accounts because all the data they offer about spending patterns is extremely valuable.
Small businesses, which are even more loyal to a bank that regular consumers, should have access to a price comparison website to allow them to shop around, the CMA says.
It adds that customers should be able to use personal data to get a decent deal on a bank account. The idea of the government-backed "Midata" project is that customers download data of previous transactions into a price comparison website and it crunches the numbers to suggest where they might get a better deal.
But the CMA says the scheme still has lots of shortcomings, not least that it does not work if customers are using one of the most popular smartphones in the UK - the iPhone.
Another suggestion is increased advertising of the switching guarantee.
Banks should also prompt customers to switch when customer service has deteriorated, if a bank branch closes, or overdraft charges change.
That is the view of the StepChange debt charity. It says those in financial difficulty just do not want to face "unreasonable" charges or the hassle of switching.
"Clients tell us that when they get into difficulty they do not want to switch, but to be treated better by their existing bank," says the charity's chief executive Mike O'Connor.
Meanwhile, Hannah Maundrell, of Money.co.uk, says the CMA missed a trick by not considering whether bank accounts could be switched instantly rather than a wait of seven working days.
It ruled out the nuclear decision of proposing a break-up of the big banks. It also ruled out remodelling the free banking system.
Some smaller banks have argued that statements should show how much the account costs, by showing interest foregone. Tesco Bank suggested a traffic light system marking the expense of accounts.
Following a review of nearly two years, the CMA has not suggested any major changes to statements.
Organisations such as the consumer group Which? says the CMA does not go far enough in its report.
Significantly, the CMA has not looked at the mis-selling of interest-rate hedging products which prevented many small businesses from switching banks.
The inquiry was not universally welcomed at launch by the big banks. Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group said that the review was "not appropriate" and "unnecessary". HSBC said the CMA had taken a "backward looking view" of current accounts.
The BBA, which represents the major banks, says the inquiry's recommendations built on work already being done, but called for a level playing field for established banks and newcomers.
Some of the smaller players are still very keen to highlight the dominance of the big four banking groups - Lloyds, RBS, Barclays and HSBC.
The retail banking industry is no stranger to competition reviews, such as:
All of them, in one way or another, have called for an encouragement for customers to switch.
It's not a football match, it's not a tennis tournament... No, this weekend, the summer season finals are taking place of the UK's main eSports competition, called the ESL UK Premiership.
An eSports competition is a big computer game tournament.
In London, the UK's best teams will be battling each other to be crowned the champion of games like League of Legends and Overwatch.
But what are eSports and why have they become such a big deal?
"eSports" is the short name for electronic sports.
Just like football players play football, eSports players play computer games against each other - just like you might do in your bedroom with your friends.
The difference between you playing video games with your mates and these competitive eSports players is that many fans all over the world usually watch them play, and they might even get paid for doing it.
They are also likely to play in teams, rather than on their own.
At an eSports competition, gamers will battle against each other on a particular game, with many fans watching on enormous screens.
At the same time, others can usually watch from around the world by tuning in to follow the action online.
People playing computer games against each other is nothing new - gamers have been doing this for over 30 years.
Around the year 2000, computers became cheaper and the internet became faster, which made it much easier for more people to get involved with computer gaming.
It also became easier to connect with gamers around the world, so people could play against each other - and watch others.
Now, players have become so skilled - and gained so many millions of fans - that computer gaming has become organised, competitive and professional.
As a result, it has been given its own name - "eSports".
Not everyone agrees that computer gaming should be considered to be a sport.
Some people think that sport should involve being more physically active.
But others think that despite it may not be as physically athletic as tennis or rugby, the skill involved means it can be considered a sport.
eSports have become extremely popular over the past few years and many companies all over the world are realising there is a lot of money that they can make from them.
Gamers in the UK will spend almost £3.3 billion on computer games this year, according to computer game research company Newzoo.
The winners of eSports competitions can go home with thousands of pounds in prize money, so there's serious cash involved.
You only have to look at how many thousands of people go to the arenas to watch eSports competitions to see that they are as important to many people as any other sports match.
The biggest eSports event last year was the League of Legends World Championships final, which attracted more than 35 million viewers!
Playing computer games for your job might sound like a dream come true - and to many people it will be!
But don't be fooled, the best eSports players have to put in a lot of hard work and training.
Some players might train for up to 14 hours a day to make sure they have extremely quick reflexes and reactions. Players might make more than 300 "actions" per minute, so they have to be able to multi-task extremely well.
Professional gamers need to practise for hours. If there's an update, they need to make sure they've mastered any changes, so that they can still be the best at it.
There is no doubt that eSports are on the rise.
"Traditional" sports clubs, like Premier League football teams, are starting to buy eSports players to represent them in competitions.
Earlier this year, it was announced that eSports would be getting an official organisation, called the World eSports Association, to be in charge of the sport - a bit like Fifa does for football.
Then, in the summer, it was revealed that the UK would be getting its first 24-hour TV channel dedicated completely to eSports.
There's no doubt that exciting changes are happening.
As technology improves, eSports will continue to grow. Could it be bigger than football one day? Only time will tell.
Crews from Nelson and Chorley were called to the property in Burnley Road, Colne, at about 12:24 BST.
A Lancashire Fire Service spokesman said the roof of the mid-terraced house had collapsed at the rear of the building.
He added: "A man has been taken to hospital but we have no information on the extent of his injuries."
But sometimes it goes the other way - and designer brands take inspiration from the cheaper things in life. And sometimes a bag that looks like something you can pick up in your local shop can go on sale for more than half the average monthly income in the US.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
Take a bow, the new Balenciaga bag. It looks strikingly like the oversized Frakta bag you can pick up in Ikea furniture shops all over Europe - costing some loose change. But Balenciaga's Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag will set you back $2,145 (£1,670; €2,015).
It isn't a straight copy, of course - the Balenciaga bag is made of leather, not plastic, and the Swedish shop's branding is missing too.
But Ikea seem to be chalking it up as a win. They told Teen Vogue: "We are deeply flattered that the Balenciaga tote bag resembles the Ikea iconic sustainable blue bag for 99 cents. Nothing beats the versatility of a great big blue bag!"
So let's take a look at some of the other times something cheap influenced the world of fashion:
Designer paper bag. This was sold by the German designer Jil Sander in the Autumn/ Winter 2012 season, hot on the heels of 2011's copy of a plastic carrier bag. The brown paper bag, which had a waxed coating, sold out; this despite a price tag of £185 ($240).
Chanel's Lego handbag. This looked like a child's lunchbox and retailed at £5,370 ($6,900). It was designed by Karl Lagerfeld, and celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and Rita Ora were spotted with it.
Sequined shopping bags. The humble Tesco and Marks & Spencer carrier bags were the inspiration of designer Ashish Gupta who, for his Spring 2014 collection, created his own version of them replete with thousands of sequins - yours for a mere £300.
You might also like:
Cereal box bags. Another bag, this time made to look like a cereal box was created by British bag designer Anya Hindmarch. Conversely, she also created the "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" bag which cost a fiver, could be picked up at your local supermarket and was the bag of the season in 2007.
"Fake Gucci" T shirt. It looks a tad like a knock-off from the aforementioned market stall, but it is in fact on sale at a department store, Harvey Nichols. It's sold as a "fake Gucci T-shirt", and would set you back £260 ($335). Is fashion eating itself?
Havaianas (flip flops). OK so, you know these as fairly ubiquitous flip flop sandals, to be found in airport shops and shopping centres the world over. That they are. And I'll grant you that they aren't super expensive. But before they were so popular around the world, they were a staple of footwear for the lower classes in Brazil.
Things like this "become a talking point for brands," says Amber Graafland, the fashion and beauty editor of the UK's Daily Mirror newspaper.
"Everyone talks about it, even if they say it's ridiculous; for them it's just about branding."
"It's fashion only. It's about trying to buy in to what the designer is doing," she went on. "The person who buys that bag probably won't wear it next season because fashion has moved on."
And of course, if we all wore the same thing year after year, life for many of us would start to look very boring, very fast.

The Finn, 37, has missed the cut in his last four tournaments but birdied five of the first six holes at Dundonald Links and added two more.
Rickie Fowler, Padraig Harrington and Ian Poulter are among a group of players two strokes behind.
Rory McIlroy bogeyed his final hole to finish on two over par and did not speak to the media afterwards.
The world number four from Northern Ireland now faces an uphill battle to avoid a third missed cut in four events.
Starting from the 10th, McIlroy bogeyed the 11th and 12th and then found the burn that guards the front of the 13th green to drop two more shots.
The four-time major winner reached the turn in 40 but recovered with three birdies before his slip at the ninth left him nine behind Ilonen, the surprised leader.
"I thought anything in the 60s would be a great round," said Ilonen. "Given my recent form, I think red numbers (under par) really, but seven under is a good start."
Poulter, 41, is joined by fellow Englishman Callum Shinkwin and Australia's Andrew Dodt on five under.
Fowler, winner of this event at Gullane in 2015, is on the same mark, along with US compatriot Paul Peterson and two-time Open winner Harrington.
The Irishman, 45, completed his round of 67 as rain arrived late in the day, and performed a "minor miracle" to save par at the 16th before chipping in for a birdie at the next.
"We were very lucky to find the ball on the 16th and my provisional was in a bunker," he said. "I was staring at a seven but managed to take a penalty drop, get it up near the green and hole the par putt from around 90 feet."
Poulter came through final qualifying for the Open last week and finished second the last time it was staged at Royal Birkdale in 2008.
"I'm pretty happy," he said. "The last couple of days, I don't feel like I've hit it all that well, so I spent a bit of time yesterday on the range.
"I got myself in a couple of spots of bother, but pretty much swung it well, put it in position and made a few putts and it adds up to a nice score."
Scottish pair Stephen Gallacher and Richie Ramsay are both on four under par, tied in eighth place with US Ryder Cup player Matt Kuchar.
"Coming from the rough, it's tough to get close to the pins," said Gallacher, who is aiming for one of three spots available for next week's Open.
"I hung in for the first 11 then started to play well and had a few chances at the end."
Open champion Henrik Stenson, playing in a group with Fowler and McIlroy, started his day with a triple bogey after finding the heavy rough but five birdies helped the Swede end the day at level par.
Last year's winner Alex Noren shot six birdies, but the Swede, ranked ninth in the world, was hampered by four bogeys, while Australia's Adam Scott is a stroke better off on three under par.
Indonesia had suspended Tiger's Bali operations this week saying it did not have permission to operate "regularly scheduled conventional flights" to Australia, only chartered ones.
The budget carrier now has approval to operate flights from Bali until Monday.
It said it "continues to explore a number of options".
Tigerair Australia is owned by Virgin Australia and based in Melbourne.
In a statement it said: "Planning is under way to operate Virgin Australia relief flights from Bali to Australia from Tuesday 17 January 2017 onwards should this be required."
"Tigerair Australia continues to liaise with the Indonesian Government in order to commence flying to Bali again as soon as possible".
More than one million Australians visit Indonesia each year, with most heading to Bali, a popular holiday island.
The arrests came after Pakistan supplied information to the Afghan government.
Afghan officials denied reports that the five had been handed over to Pakistan, saying they would be questioned in Afghanistan first.
Taliban gunmen killed at least 150 people, mostly children, in the attack.
An Afghan security official said the five had been arrested in an eastern province.
The arrests confirm there has been a recent thaw in relations between the Afghan and Pakistani governments, the BBC's David Loyn reports from Kabul.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani made a successful trip to Pakistan soon after coming into office last October and both sides have promised better cross-border co-operation.
Afghan security officials believe the five arrested were indirectly involved in the school massacre on 16 December. All seven gunmen were killed.
They had cut through a wire fence to gain entry to the Army Public School and then went from class to class, killing at least 150 people - 133 of them children - and injuring more than 120.
The Taliban said the attack was in response to a government offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area that began in June 2014.
The killings were condemned across the world and the Afghan Taliban also criticised them.
This week pupils and teachers returned to the school for the first time since the attack.
In another development, the leader of Pakistan's opposition PTI party, Imran Khan, was barracked by parents of the victims on a visit to the Peshawar school.
A small group of parents blocked his motorcade and shouted slogans accusing him of failing to show real concern.
The PTI initially accused rival political parties of engineering the protest but the other parties denied any involvement and correspondents said the outburst appeared to be an expression of genuine anger. | Connor McAliskey insists Tyrone players "have the freedom to express ourselves" despite all the talk of regimented systems in modern day gaelic football.

The Saracens centre scored the first of three Scottish tries as Gregor Townsend's men triumphed in Sydney for the first time.
The 24-19 win was just the visitors' third from 12 Tests on Australian soil.
"I think we're still developing, which is a good thing. There's still a load more potential for this squad," Taylor told BBC Scotland.
"I think everyone believes that and everyone believes that we're trying to create that belief that we can beat any team in the world and that's slowly building.
"The boys are working exceptionally hard to play that brand of rugby that Gregor's after and I think it's coming together quite well."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Since succeeding Vern Cotter, head coach Townsend has guided Scotland to back-to-back victories on tour, with the Sydney success following a five-try win over Italy the previous weekend.
"It was a very special victory," Taylor, 27, added. "We deserved that win in the end. There was never a lost cause, which is pretty special. When you know you've got guys either side of you that are going to keep fighting for absolutely everything, it means a lot.
"We have a great belief in ourselves and in our team and how we're trying to play rugby."
Flanker Hamish Watson finished a fine attacking move to score the decisive try at Allianz Stadium, and says the result surpasses any he has achieved.
"I think it's the biggest victory of my career," the Edinburgh open-side, 25, said. "This, as a one-off victory, it's a big, big victory against a team that was ranked above us.
"With the sort of backs we've got nowadays with Scotland, we've got so many good backs, you can try and run those sort of gamble lines and you know that it will pay off sometimes because our backs can beat a lot defenders.
"It was a huge effort by the boys and defensively amazing in that last 15 minutes. Definitely the biggest victory of my career, I'd say.
Watson impressed during the 2016 autumn internationals, was a stand-out performer as Cotter piloted Scotland to their most successful Six Nations Championship in 11 years last term.
"It's great to carry on the momentum that Vern took forward with this squad and now Gregor's sort of carried it on," Watson added. "He's done really well to start with two wins.
"It's a great team to be involved with at the minute and great for all the fans, great for Scottish rugby.
"We are a very close group of players. That squad's been together since the start of Vern's career with Scotland so we're a very tight group and we've got that squad that looks like it could be going forward for the next few years. It's a young squad and obviously a lot of very good players in it."

His father's preferred successor, he had been held by a militia in the town of Zintan for the past six years.
The Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Battalion said he had been released on Friday but he has not been seen in public.
It is feared the move could fuel further instability in Libya.
His lawyer, Khaled al-Zaidi, confirmed he had been released.
He declined to say which city Saif al-Islam had travelled to for security reasons. A source has told the BBC he is in the Tobruk area of eastern Libya.
The Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Battalion said it was acting on a request from the "interim government" based in the east of the country.
However, he has been sentenced to death in absentia by a court in Tripoli, in the west of the country, where control is in the hands of the rival, UN-backed Government of National Accord.
Saif al-Islam is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity during his father's unsuccessful attempts to put down the rebellion against his rule.
The Zintan Military Council - which had previously been involved in his detention - and Zintan's municipal council have condemned his release by the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Battalion.
The councils said in a statement that freeing Saif al-Islam was "a form of collusion, a betrayal of the blood of the martyrs and stab in the back of the military body to which they [the brigade] claim to belong".
The release of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi will add another unpredictable element to Libya's unstable mix.
He was detained in the desert in November 2011 trying to flee to Niger, and later appeared missing several fingers.
The former playboy often appeared in the West as the public face of the Gaddafi regime and was his father's heir-apparent.
While reviled by many - at home and abroad - he retains some support in Libya and could try to re-enter the political fray here.
The 44-year-old Saif al-Islam - who was controversially granted a PhD by the London School of Economics in 2008 - was captured in November 2011 after three months on the run following the end of Muammar Gaddafi's decades-long rule.
He was previously known for playing a key role in building relations with the West after 2000, and had been considered the reformist face of his father's regime.
But after the 2011 uprising, he found himself accused of incitement to violence and murdering protesters.
Four years later, he was sentenced to death by firing squad following a trial involving 30 of Gaddafi's close associates.
Reaction on social media to Saif al-Islam's release has been mixed.
One Twitter user said: "When the world is upside down, the killer becomes innocent and the victim becomes a terrorist. The blood of the martyrs disappears and Saif al-Islam becomes a free man!"
By contrast, another Twitter user posted a video showing celebrations of Saif al-Islam's release in the north-western town of Asabea, in which people appeared be carrying the green flags associated with his father's rule. He was also described as a "lifeline to the Libyan people".
The disease was first found in south-east England in 2006, but has spread rapidly around the country. It causes large growths on birds' beaks and eyes.
A new study shows the strain originated in Scandinavia or Central Europe and was probably carried across the Channel by biting insects, such as mosquitoes.
The findings have been published in three papers in the journal Plos One.
"The lesions can be very severe," said Dr Becki Lawson, a veterinarian from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
"There is a very significant adverse impact on the individual bird's survival."
Unstoppable march
The virus is a form of avian pox, which is a skin disease.
Avian pox usually infects birds such as house sparrows, dunnocks and starlings.
But genetic analysis revealed that the strain hitting great tits in the UK is a different form of the virus, which originated in Europe.
Although the disease can pass from bird to bird, scientists do not think that great tits carried it into the country because the birds do not migrate across the English Channel.
Dr Lawson said: "It is more likely to be an insect vector, such as a mosquito, either moved by man or by wind-borne spread."
The study charted the movement of the disease across the country. Since it arrived, it has spread across central England, Wales and some cases are suspected in Scotland.
Future outlook
A bird-monitoring study that has been running for more than 50 years in Wytham Woods in Oxfordshire also helped to shed light on the emerging disease.
Researchers from the University of Oxford found that a range of tit species can catch the virus, but great tits were the most susceptible.
"Our results show that this new strain... significantly reduces the survival of wild great tits and has particularly large effects on the survival of juvenile birds," said Dr Shelly Lachish, from the Edward Grey Institute at the University of Oxford.
However, the team found that some birds were able to recover from an infection, and computer models suggest that although the disease would continue to spread it might not have too significant an effect on great tit numbers.
Mike Toms, head of garden ecology at the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), who also worked on the study, said: "What we've not seen yet is an impact in the wider population level.
"Our models don't predict that its going to cause a population decline nationally - but we need to be aware of the possibility."
Because the disease can spread between birds and possibly through contaminated surfaces, he recommended that people should keep their feeding stations and feeders clean.
"As always, clean them on a regular basis: ideally every week or fortnight, by cleaning, rinsing and then air drying them," Mr Toms explained.
The scientists stressed that the virus could not pass from birds to humans.
Public helpers
The research team told BBC News that any sightings of birds displaying symptoms of the pox should be reported to the RSPB's Wildlife Enquiries Unit.
Dr Lawson said that the team of scientists, ornithologists and vets who carried out the research would not have been able to study the emerging disease without the help of the public.
"We can't do this kind of work, to find out about the health of British wildlife, unless the public take the time to keep their eyes peeled and and report signs of sick and dead birds to us," she said.
Avian pox is not the only new disease that is having an impact on garden birds.
In 2005, a disease called trichomonosis, which is caused by a parasite, was discovered in finches in the UK.
It has since spread throughout the country and has also been reported in the Republic of Ireland.
Greenfinches have been worst affected.
A recent paper published in a Royal Society journal revealed that about 1.5 million breeding birds have been lost, and the number of greenfinches visiting gardens has declined by about 50%.
The Stove Network will use the money to develop creative talent in the Lochside and Lincluden areas.
The Our Place award will see the project recruit a team of volunteers as well as a full-time development worker.
Matt Baker, of the Stove Network, said everyone involved was delighted to receive the "vote of confidence" of the funding award.
"Creative Futures Lincluden and Lochside is all about local people using our heritage and culture to improve quality of life for everyone and making opportunities for developing new skills and jobs," he said.
"It is also a means for north west Dumfries to draw in resources from the wider area, and already people are coming forward to discuss great new partnerships for the future."
Maureen McGinn, who chairs Big Lottery Fund Scotland, said it was an "important milestone" for the area.
"Our Place gives local people a say on how lottery money should be spent in their area, so the ideas and inspiration for the Creative Futures project come directly from people living in and around the local area," she said.
"And key to the success to this project will be the involvement of local volunteers who will benefit from new skills and improved confidence."
A number of local people known as "community connectors" have been heavily involved in the scheme.
One of them, Carole McCann, said she was "delighted" with the success.
"Our area boasts extensive green spaces, abundant wildlife and has an important historic site on our doorstep," she said.
"It is a great place to live and with this injection of funding, determination and hard work I am certain it will be an even better one in the future."
Our Place is currently working with seven communities across Scotland, one of which is Lochside and Lincluden in north west Dumfries.
The authorities said Yassin Salhi, 35, had killed himself.
He was being held in Fleury-Merogis prison, south Paris.
Prosecutors regarded Salhi as a militant Islamist, but the delivery driver maintained that he was motivated by a grudge against his employer.
Salhi had been placed in solitary confinement pending his trial, but was not considered a suicide risk.
On 26 June he drove his van into a building containing flammable liquids at the Air Products factory near the city of Lyon.
There was a blast shortly afterwards and the decapitated body of Salhi's boss, was found nearby.
His head - reportedly bearing Arabic inscriptions - had been hooked on to factory railings, alongside two flags, also with Arabic writing on it.
Salhi had been under surveillance for being a suspected radical Islamism between 2006 and 2008, officials said.
In a surprise move designed to boost investor confidence, the company said it would buy back up to 14.2% of its shares worth some 500bn yen ($4.4bn, £3bn).
The announcement follows a sharp fall in the firm's latest quarterly profits.
It also comes amid a slide in the company's share price.
Last week, Softbank posted an 88% fall in net profit for the three months to December to 2.3bn yen. The telecoms giant has been trying to turn around the flagging US wireless firm Sprint - in which it has a controlling stake.
"The proposed share repurchase will be funded through proceeds from sale of assets and cash on hand, but not through any debt procurement," the firm said.
The company said that over the past 12 months it had received about 300bn yen from the sale of investment securities, among other measures.
The group's businesses include the sale of internet services, computer software, mobile communications and handset sales, among others.
It has a stake in Alibaba and its companies include Yahoo Japan.
In June, the company's robotics and mobile arms announced that the world's first personal robot that can read emotions - Pepper - would go on sale in Japan.
Softbank hopes to see the friendly looking robot used in stores as a personal shopper and schools as a teaching assistant, among other roles.
The firm was established in 1981 and was listed in Japan in 1998.
Prior to Monday's share buyback announcement, Softbank's shares had fallen more than 28% in the year-to-date.
Motorists, it seems, are opting to use 100-year-old engineering rather than take the often jammed Tees flyover.
The bridge, which turns 100 on 17 October, is a sign of home to some, and a sign of great engineering to all.
The giant blue steel structure joins Port Clarence to Middlesbrough across the River Tees, and although passengers are now on the up, they hit a low in 2006 when only 90,927 made use of the bridge.
Now on the rise, more than 122,000 passengers have used the blue bridge's yellow gondola to cross the river in 2009. Pedestrians can even buy a ticket to walk across the top of the bridge.
Those who do not have the stomach can board the gondola at one side of the river and be carried across to the other.
Commuters form the traffic these days, with many shoppers and tourists using it during off peak periods.
The bridge is not only a symbol of the industrial north, it has also far exceeded the working life envisaged by its designers when it opened to traffic in 1911.
During the dark days of World War I the bridge came into its own with two thirds of those using it working in the munitions factories north of the Tees.
In March 1919, after the Armistice, more than 500,000 passengers used the bridge - a figure that has never been exceeded.
Ninety-one-year-old Morris Taylor, a retired welder from Stockton, knows exactly what kind of challenge it is to keep the bridge in operation.
After being battered by a German bomb during World War II, the bridge was in need of urgent repair, so Mr Morris and his team were drafted in.
"We felt the urgency to get it done," he said.
"Real steel is a lot harder than the mild steel the bridge is constructed of. The vibrations of the car going backwards and forwards and the heat took their toll.
"There's a lot of movement, and over the years it brought about a sawing action. We had to cut out the flanges and put new ones in.
"It was so important, it was the only crossing at the time, apart from the Newport Bridge. We were up there solid from start to finish, from February to September.
"We were 200ft in the air, during thunder and lightning, it was a hell of a storm. I had to shelter under the walkway!
"We worked seven days a week... but it was £2 a day pay, it was worth it!"
Kenneth Thompson took a trip across the bridge in 1946 just after the end of World War II.
Mr Thompson, who was on compassionate leave from the forces at the time, said: "I met a friend that I hadn't seen in years, I was in the Navy, he was in the Army. For some reason or other, I cant remember why, we went to Middlesbrough.
"I'd never been on the Transporter before, and we decided to go on it. And whilst on it, I met Joyce."
Joyce Thompson, now Kenneth's wife was out with her friend.
Sometimes the bridge is closed by weather conditions

"We didn't usually talk to strangers, but we felt sorry for these two guys in uniform. There were no lights, you weren't allowed lights on. I didn't know what I was getting myself in for," she said.
Mr Thompson said they then got on the bus, exchanged names and addresses, and then he took it from there.
"I was surprised when I got the letter, so I wrote back. He said he was pleased to meet me, and could I write back to him. When he came out of the Navy, he got a job, and now we've been married 62 years," Mrs Thompson said.
Even though it can lead to a lifelong happy marriage, the numbers of people using the bridge declined as the construction yards and industrial north of the Tees shrunk.
Today in Port Clarence, near Hartlepool, there is a sense of isolation, a far cry from how life was in the heyday of the bridge, when scores of workers crossed and it was open seven days a week.
Now open Monday to Saturday, the bridge runs 07:00 - 19:00 weekdays and 09:30 - 15:30 on Saturdays. Sometimes it is closed due to poor weather.
Lee Gattley-Hall, one of the 800 residents of Port Clarence, said he had enjoyed a mixed relationship with the bridge.
"I think it's class - it's right on your doorstep, but I used to go to Middlesbrough College, just across the river, and when the bridge is off, it seemed so far away," he said.
These days the bridge is subsidised to the tune of about £200,000 a year, and has been awarded £2.6m of lottery money to be spent on a new gondola and lifts. Councils on both sides of the water have agreed to continue spending money on the bridge to keep it going.
The Big Screen in Middlesbrough will be showing some short films and footage from the Transporter Bridge's 100-years in operation on Sunday 16 October from 15:00 - 18:30 and Monday 17 October from 12:00 - 16:00 BST.
The former diplomat was known for opposing the controversial demolition of the Babri Masjid mosque.
He served as an MP for three terms between 1979 and 1996, and also successfully campaigned to ban Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.
He died in hospital following a prolonged illness, local media said.
Syed Shahabuddin previously worked as an Indian Foreign Service officer and also led the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat - the country's top-level forum for Muslim organisations.
Mr Shahabuddin was also the head of the Babri Action Committee, an organisation dedicated to the preservation of a 16th Century mosque in Ayodhya.
The contested ownership of the site and its eventual demolition created national tension between Hindus and Muslims, resulting in the 1992 riots in which 2,000 people died. The site remains a flashpoint today.
He also came to international attention for his efforts to ban The Satanic Verses, whose publication in 1988 outraged Muslims around the world, with many arguing it was blasphemous.
Mr Shahabuddin was widely seen as responsible for preventing the book from being imported into India - the first country to introduce such a ban.
The book is comprised of three stories woven together. One of them - the most controversial - features a prophet named Mahound, who founds a religion in the desert.
That story is inspired by an apocryphal incident in the life of the Prophet Muhammad, called the Satanic Verses.
It references verses of the Koran which the Prophet Muhammad later retracted as incorrect - and blamed on the prompting of Satan.
The issue is a controversial one for scholars and religious teachers.
Following the controversy over Rushdie's novel, Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa ordering Muslims to kill the author.
The book is still banned in India.
The Wiltshire and Avon and Somerset forces funded the scheme with councils, Barnardo's and the Home Office.
Avon and Somerset police commissioner Sue Mountstevens said: "Sexually exploited children suffer adverse consequences that blight their lives."
The service has 15 full-time support workers to help the child victims.
The children's charity Barnado's is running the service and has also trained 350 professionals who work with children to spot the signs of child sexual exploitation (CSE).
Ms Mountstevens, added: "Preventing exploitation and responding quickly and effectively to stop exploitation will improve outcomes for vulnerable children and this partnership is helping with this vital work.
"By tackling the problem together, with different agencies working even more closely in partnership with each other, we can make a real difference."
CSE victims are defined as being manipulated or forced into sexual acts in return for attention, affection, money, drugs, alcohol or accommodation.
Dave McCallum, who leads the service, said: "Any child can be sexually exploited and we've seen examples with children with no overt vulnerabilities still being targeted.
"Children do tend to be vulnerable when they are approached by someone who's older who has more resources than their peers - every child might be vulnerable to that approach."
He added the affected children would get "long-term and consistent support" to help them recover from their experience.
The West of England CSE service will also mean both police forces can share data and intelligence about suspects more easily.
Mr McCallum said: "We're seeing more investigations, we're seeing more people being arrested and more disruption tactics being used.
"In the fullness of time, we will see more people in front of the courts and being convicted."
Mr McCallum is also the independent chair of the Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Board which is a multi-agency body protecting children.
Natural Retreats wants to make improvements to the restaurant, offer conference space and increase its facilities for making snow.
The company has started a consultation on its plans.
The ski centre in the Cairngorms National Park is owned by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
Natural Retreats has released a series of architects' impressions of the new look.
A new day lodge with food outlets, shops and a creche and an "adventure zone" have been planned.
Highland Council has been informed of the proposals.
Natural Retreats owns holiday accommodation at a number of locations in the UK and elsewhere.
It has a 25-year lease for the running of CairnGorm Mountain.
Last year, the company said it would invest more than £6m in the resort over five years.
Derry's CultureTECH Festival has championed the creative industries since its inception as a four-day pilot project four years ago.
A subsidiary of the Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, it reported an attendance of 60,000 people in 2015.
The Chamber told the BBC that CultureTech has ceased its annual festival "for now".
But it added that CultureTECH remains the Chamber brand for all year-round activity in support of science, technology and maths skills in the city.
"It is a huge loss, CultureTECH was one of the largest family friendly technology events in the UK and Ireland," said Dr Kevin Curran, a Reader in Computer Science at Ulster University.
"Fifteen thousand schoolchildren took part in this who were then encouraged to do science and technology in school, go to university and study a STEM subject and then build a company.
"It was also showcasing Derry, making it a brand outside of here. Companies, when they look to relocate somewhere, look for the quality of the talent and the quality of the life in an area. CultureTECH was doing that, it really was making a big splash in the technology world."
In February, Chamber of Commerce board member Padraig Canavan said a review of the festival was being undertaken "in the context of ever tightening public finances".
The festival cost just more than £320,000 in 2015.
However, the BBC understands that funding is just one of a number of factors for the festival not going ahead this year.
One of its success stories was Diarmuid Moloney, who created his own software named Rotor that specialised in making music videos on a shoe-string budget.
Moloney won a seed competition at the inaugural CultureTECH in 2012.
With the prize money of £10,000 Diarmuid went on to develop his software that attracted the attention of major record labels including Polydor and Universal.
CultureTECH was also one of the big successes of Londonderry's year as the UK City of Culture in 2013.
Hagino, who won IM bronze in 2012, held the lead following the backstroke and touched home just ahead of Kalisz in a time of four minutes 06.95 seconds.
Kalisz took silver in 4:07.75 and Hagino's team-mate Daiya Seto was third in 4:09.71.
Great Britain's Max Litchfield, 21, in his first Games, was fourth in 4:11.62.

The 38-year-old will replace Martin Guptill as their overseas player in June and return in early August for the rest of the season.
Dilshan has played 87 Tests, scoring 5,492 runs at an average of 40.98, 313 one-day internationals and 62 Twenty20 matches for Sri Lanka.
Elite performance director Graeme Welch said the signing was "a real coup".
He added: "It demonstrates our growing reputation within the game. Dilshan is a proven match-winner who has shown this time and time again on the world stage.
"His record speaks for itself and he brings a wealth of experience across all formats and to the dressing room. He is also committed to helping our younger lads during his stay."
Dilshan is currently with the Sri Lanka side who have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup and was also a key member of the team that won the ICC World Twenty20 last year.
He had a stint with Surrey in 2014 and will begin his spell with Derbyshire in June by featuring in up to four T20 Blast fixtures and two County Championship matches, before playing in the Caribbean Premier League.
"Derbyshire are an ambitious club with an exciting young team," Dilshan said.
"I'm looking forward to joining them in the T20 Blast and then returning to help them finish the season strongly.
"I am really pleased with my current form and this makes me confident I can make a strong contribution."
Three Americans - defending champion Justin Thomas, Ryder Cup player Keegan Bradley and Derek Fathauer - share the lead on eight under in Kuala Lumpur.
Casey, 39, who has finished in the top four in his previous four tournaments, birdied four of the last five holes.
India's Anirban Lahiri is fifth on six under, while Scot Russell Knox carded a 70 and England's Ian Poulter a 71.
Wilson won a final-frame, first-round contest against Joe Perry to set up a last-16 tie with Mark Allen on Sunday.
"I want to make memories at the Crucible and you are only going to do that by winning matches," the Shanghai Masters champion told BBC Sport.
"It's fantastic to win my first match here and is only just behind Shanghai."
The Kettering potter, 24, scored six half-centuries and two tons playing a typically aggressive style against world number 10 Perry.

"It was a fantastic match throughout," Wilson said. "Me and Joe flowed off each other.
"There were a lot of big breaks and that is the way all players like to play snooker. It was very entertaining and I am sure the fans loved the decider.
"I am a very natural player and I like to go for my shots."
Wilson is relishing the chance to take on world number seven Allen over three sessions in their best-of-25 last-16 match.
"It is fantastic to play top players at top venues, so I am very much looking forward to it," Wilson added.
"It is not easy for young lads to come through and play well at places like the Crucible, but I am starting to get more and more comfortable under the TV conditions.
"After winning in Shanghai there are more expectations on me. I come into tournaments believing I can win, but you cannot get too far ahead of yourself."

Jersey submitted a bid to leave the the English FA and join Uefa last December.
A delegation from Uefa is expected to come to the island after the body's annual congress later this month.
"We're pleased they're coming and it gives us an opportunity to show them what we've got," Jersey FA president Phil Austin told BBC Radio Jersey.
But Austin says the process for joining Uefa will be a slow one, with rules stating that new members must be an independent country, recognised by the United Nations, a major stumbling block.
"We do not expect them to come over and say 'yes everything's great you're in'," Austin said.
"There are certain stages that our application will go through and I think, being frank, if you asked them now if we meet their criteria for membership, they'd say no, because they maintain you've got be an independent state as recognised by the United Nations and we are not one of those.
"But neither are some of their current members, but they got in before the rules changed, Gibraltar forced their way in but they changed the rule now so it doesn't happen again."
However, Kosovo are set to join Uefa and play in qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, despite not being recognised by the UN, although the territory declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
"We're looking at Kosovo very clearly, we're looking at how that progresses and the implications of them getting membership," added Austin.
"My own view is that from a footballing argument we do tick all the boxes.
"If you look at Gibraltar, there are 30,000 people there and until recently they only had one football pitch.
"We're miles ahead of them in terms of football and football development, but it's this political hurdle that we're going to have to get over."

Derek McLaren will serve five years in jail and five years on licence after his release, the maximum possible sentence from the sheriff court.
McLaren, 50, targeted the women in Dundee between June 1999 and August last year.
He admitted four charges of assault to injury at Dundee Sheriff Court.
The court was told that McLaren knocked one woman to the ground while she was pregnant and repeatedly punched her on the head.
Sheriff Alastair Brown said: "The drunken boor of a man assaulting his female partner is not just a figure in a cartoon, but has in the past and continues today to be a horrific reality for many women.
"It will not be tolerated."
Det Sgt Gordon Patullo, of Police Scotland's domestic abuse task force, said: "Derek McLaren is clearly a dangerous individual.
"He committed violent, sustained assaults against those who trusted him during the course of their relationships.
"The victims in this case should be commended for coming forward during the enquiry.
"Derek McLaren's conviction and sentence should send out a clear message that domestic abuse crimes will be robustly investigated by Police Scotland, which is reflected in the sentence."

Speaking at the Soccerex Conference in Manchester, the ex-Liverpool forward said consistent failures at major tournaments were to blame.
"Everyone in this room, the fans, us, we have all lost belief in the national team," the 34-year-old said.
"I don't think we will get that back until we do something significant at a major tournament."
Owen said that while the victory over Switzerland in Monday's Euro 2016 qualifier was encouraging, one result was not enough to turn the tide after this summer's early World Cup exit.
"It has been pretty poor for a while now," he added. "One good result doesn't just change that.
"But there were chinks of light there against Switzerland and the encouraging thing was [there were] players that will be around for many years to come."
Owen picked out Liverpool's Raheem Sterling and Everton's Ross Barkley as youngsters who could have a major long-term impact.
"Sterling could be absolutely exceptional and Ross Barkley could go right to the very top of the game," he said.
"I can see those two taking us quite far and being pivotal points in our team for years to come."
Owen, who scored 40 goals in 89 international appearances, does not believe English players need to go abroad to improve their technique, but did say the huge spending in the Premier League made it almost impossible for young players to break through into top-flight first teams.
"The only way you can make it is to go on loan, unless you are a freak of nature," Owen said.
"We want for nothing in this country. We have top coaches or we bring them in, we have fantastic facilities, we are financially the wealthiest football nation in the world, but if you are at a big club it is virtually impossible to go from youth team to first team, even if you are one of the greatest prospects in the world.
"If you are a young player at Man City, how are you going to replace Yaya Toure or Vincent Kompany in the first team?
"They have got no chance. There are no prospects for young players unless you are at a smaller club."
Owen believes the English football youth set-up works well until players reach their late teens.
"The England Under-17s just won the European Championship. The academies are great until you get to 17 or 18 and then what? There is no stepping stone," he added.
"I like the fact that FA chairman Greg Dyke is getting off his backside and trying to do something to get more English players in the Premier League.
"A lot of people won't like the B team idea but Real Madrid have got a B team. It is good that the FA are recognising there is a problem."
Before the broadcast, producers had asked viewers to suggest a message to be written on the blackboard at The Rovers Return pub.
A fan called Adam won the contest by tweeting his proposal message: "Katie Lowe will you marry me?"
He later tweeted to say Ms Lowe had accepted. "I'm officially engaged," he said. "What a night!!"
Coronation Street's latest live episode was broadcast to mark 60 years of ITV.
The plot revolved around the Platt family, who have been terrorised by small-time drug dealer Callum, while Roy celebrated his 60th birthday and Lloyd and Andrea threw a leaving do in the Rover's Return.
According to overnight figures, the episode was watched by an average 8.369 million viewers, giving the channel a 38% share of the audience.
BBC One's Great British Bake Off was in direct competition, pulling in 8.366 million viewers - 1.6 million down on last week - which equated to a 35% share of the audience.
The soap previously screened a live episode in 2010 to mark the show's 50th. Then, the storyline revolved around a dramatic crash when a tram careered off the line running at the end of the street, causing death and devastation.
That episode attracted more than 14 million viewers.
There were no big mistakes during last night's 30-minute broadcast other than slight sound problems and camera wobbles.
Here's what the critics had to say:
The big drama on the night involved the departure of two of the show's characters.
The first was the most showstopping as drug-dealer villain Callum Logan was killed with a wrench by ex-girlfriend Kylie Platt.
Sean Ward, who played Callum, said he was "gutted" to be leaving the show.
"It's been phenomenal playing Callum," he added.
The other exit was that of the character Lloyd Mullaney, played by Craig Charles.
He was seen driving away with his partner Andrea Beckett, played by Hayley Tamaddon, to start a new life.
Former Red Dwarf star Charles had been a fixture on the soap for 10 years.
The National Grid delivery left Goole in East Yorkshire on Thursday and is expected at Cilfynydd, near Pontypridd, on Saturday morning.
Lorry and cargo will only be able to travel at 30mph (48km/h) on motorways and 10mph (16km/h) on A roads.
It will travel along the A48 from Newport and up the A470 and A472.
The special heavy haulage vehicle will have a private escort and National Grid said it expected the delivery would cause disruption until it is delivered at about 10:00 GMT.
It is 25m (82ft) long, 5m (16ft) high and 3m (10ft) wide.
National Grid project engineer, David Shaw, said: "There are likely to be some delays on the motorway and on smaller, narrow roads close to the substation.
"I'd like to thank people for their patience in advance of our work."

French authorities gave the names to their Greek counterparts two years ago, but documents were never investigated.
Mr Vaxevanis told the BBC that politicians should be prosecuted for keeping the names secret.
But Greek officials have said there is no proof that those on the list have broken the law.
Mr Vaxevanis, 46, published the list in Hot Doc, the weekly magazine he edits.
He is accused of breaking private data rules and faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
In court Mr Vaxevanis' lawyers began their defence by arguing that not a single person on the list had actually complained of privacy violation.
"He's being accused without reason," lawyer Nicos Constantopoulous said.
Some of those named in the list, said to include many prominent Greeks, are suspected of using the HSBC accounts in Switzerland for tax evasion.
Mr Vaxevanis says the list he published is the same one that was given by the then French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde to her Greek counterpart two years ago.
By Mark LowenBBC News, Athens
Many here feel that press freedom itself is on trial today. There has been huge public support for Costas Vaxevanis since he published this list, and widespread horror that successive governments here seem to have sat on the information for two years without following it up.
It's reignited suspicions that tax evasion and corruption run to the very top of Greek society.
Concerns about government interference in the media have grown this week after two presenters on state television were axed from their morning show when they questioned the position of a minister.
One of them, Marilena Katsimi, told me Greece was in a "very dangerous situation" with "an authoritarian government".
"We're in a financial crisis but we're also in a crisis of democracy," she said. And that in the very place where democracy was born.
Greek officials say the list originally came from a former HSBC employee.
The names on the list are said to include politicians, businessmen and others, sparking fury among ordinary Greeks as they are hit by deep austerity measures, says the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens.
The issue has revived claims that tax evasion remains rife in Greece, and that the authorities still are not serious about tackling it, our correspondent adds.
Greece is being urged by international lenders to crack down on tax evasion as part of far-reaching reforms demanded in exchange for billions of euros of bailout money.
Mr Vaxevanis said he had published the list "because I'm a journalist and it's our job to tell the truth to the people".
"The three last governments have lied and have made a mockery of the Greek people with this list," he said.
"They were obliged to pass it to parliament or to the justice system. They didn't do it and they should be in prison for it."
Mr Vaxevanis said he thought the government had not acted on the list because it included friends of ministers, businessmen and powerful publishers.
He also accused much of the Greek media of ignoring the story.
"The Greek press is muzzled," he said. "There is a closed system of power in Greece, wielded by the political elite, businessmen and journalists."
"If I need to go to prison I will do," he added. "Not because I'm a hero, but to show the injustice of what is happening in Greece."
Among those testifying in support of Mr Vaxevanis is the president of the International Federation of Journalists, Jim Boumelha.
"We were all astonished by what's happened... I came here to testify in order to try to unravel this absurd farce," he said.
"[This] doesn't happen in many countries and for that reason the International Federation of Journalists is asking for the charges to be dropped."
The claim: Migration to the UK is out of control and will get worse if Britain remains in the EU.
Reality Check verdict: Net migration is still at near-record levels. Just over half of it comes from outside the EU. The government has not managed to bring migration from outside the EU down to tens of thousands as the 2010 and 2015 manifestos promised, so it is not clear it would be able to do so with EU migrants post-Brexit.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes figures on long-term migration every three months, and these basic facts haven't changed for years.
Overall net migration stands at 333,000, and has risen more than a third since David Cameron came to power in 2010, with the aim of reducing numbers to tens of thousands a year.
If you exclude Brits from the figures, things look even worse for the government's targets. Last year, 373,000 more non-Brits came to live in the UK than left, a 45% increase on 2010.
With the referendum fast approaching, campaigners such as Nigel Farage say that immigration can only be brought back down to the tens of thousands if we leave the EU. While the UK can decide which immigrants it accepts from outside the EU, almost anyone from within the EU is entitled to come and live here.
While the rest of the EU accounts for about 6% of the world's population, it's now the source of about 49% of UK net migration. That's up from 29% five years earlier, mainly because non-EU migration has steadied off, while EU migration has increased. It may be that the accession of new EU members has fuelled that rise.
Home Secretary Theresa May said last month that the EU's free movement rules make controlling immigration "harder".
But would leaving the EU really mean immigration came crashing down? In theory, the UK could put a block on any more EU citizens coming to live here, and that could cut the net migration figures in half at a stroke.
But if that were going to happen to EU migrants, why hasn't it already happened to non-EU migrants?
The UK isn't bound to accept them by any international treaties, but nevertheless let 277,000 of them move over last year alone.
Three quarters of immigrants move to the UK for work or study, and the ratio is much the same for EU migrants. According to figures from Oxford University, nearly 60% of EU migrants coming over for work have got a job lined up before they arrive.
Also, it is possible that a deal to retain access to the single market would require the UK to maintain freedom of movement for EU citizens wanting to come here to work.
Unemployment rates have been falling more or less constantly for the past five years, and if the economy remains healthy the UK is likely to need just as many workers in future.

The Anguilla-born 25-year-old joined the club in 2009 having previously played for his home island and the West Indies Under-19s side.
Hughes made his first-class debut against Middlesex in 2010 and scored 6,657 runs across all formats.
He hit a best of 270 not out against Yorkshire in 2013, four runs short of Derbyshire's first-class record.
"We would like to thank Chesney for his efforts for Derbyshire over the last seven years," Derbyshire's cricket advisory director Kevin Dean told the club website.
"He produced some memorable innings for the club, no more than his unbeaten 270 in 2013 at Headingley.
"Whilst it's disappointing that we were unable to agree terms on a new deal, we wish Chesney well for the future."
Cleaner Kostadin Kostov killed 38-year-old Gergana Prodanova in Exeter last August, the city's crown court was told.
He became angry with Ms Prodanova after she started a relationship with fellow Bulgarian national Tihomir Todorov.
Kostov, 43, of Mount Pleasant Road, Exeter, was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 19 years.
More on the guilty verdict, and other Devon and Cornwall news
He dragged the suitcase containing Ms Prodanova's corpse for about a mile along several main streets under cover of darkness, the court heard.
CCTV captured at about 5:00 BST on 7 August - three days after the killing - showed a figure struggling to haul the luggage and occasionally stopping to catch his breath.
Disguised in a baseball cap, Kostov dumped Ms Prodanova's naked body next to a railway.
It was found almost two weeks later when a worker noticed a foul smell coming from an embankment, jurors were told.
Kostov, described as "jealous and controlling" by prosecutor Simon Laws QC, had searched the internet to find out how long it would take for the body to decompose.
Ms Prodanova's remains were so badly decomposed her cause of death could not be established.
While sentencing, judge Sir John Royce told Kostov: "Only you can tell us how she died and you have chosen not to. There has been no hint of remorse.
"The way you have conducted this case merely serves to underline the cruel, dark element of your character."
After sentencing, Det Insp Greg Dawe said: "He was a violent and jealous man and couldn't bear to see Gergana happy with someone else.
"The motive was plain and simple - old fashioned jealousy."
The court heard the couple had three children together, but Ms Prodonova had left them in Bulgaria when moving to Britain to get away from Kostov.
England's Justin Rose leads the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego on seven under after carding a first-round 65.
Woods, 41, dropped five shots in four holes on the back nine at Torrey Pines, where he won the 2008 US Open, the most recent of his major titles.
It is the American's second tournament since 15 months out with a back injury.
The former world number one's competitive return came at the Hero World Challenge in December, when he tied for 15th out of 17 at the invitational event.
In his first full-sanctioned PGA Tour event back, Woods again struggled, following up consecutive birdies at 10 and 11 with three straight bogeys and then a double bogey at 15.
A further bogey at 17 followed before Woods birdied the last on the South Course, leaving him in a tie for 133rd in a field of 155 competitors and in danger of missing the cut.
"I fought my tail off out there, I fought hard. But I didn't really hit it that good," Woods said. "I was in the rough most of the day and it was tough."
The competition sees players split the first 36 holes between the North and South Courses at Torrey Pines, before playing the final two rounds on the South Course at the weekend.
Playing on the North Course, Rose reached the turned at one under before surging up the leaderboard with a blistering back nine.
After a birdie on his 10th hole, the Olympic champion struck two eagles and two birdies in the final five holes, a bogey at the par-three eighth the only blemish.
Rose leads by one shot ahead of Canada's Adam Hadwin, who hit a six-under 66 on the South Course.
Defending champion Brandt Snedeker of the United States is tied for eighth place on four under.
Samuel Sarfo made his debut for the Black Stars on Saturday, coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute of Ghana's 2-1 defeat by the USA.
The 26-year-old played as a central defender in the friendly match.
Sarfo told the BBC that he wants to turn professional.
Despite playing for the national team, he remains on active duty and also plays for Liberty Professionals in the local league where he is the captain.
He told BBC's Sport Nishat Ladha that he grew up with most of the players in the national team and that they had been supporting him, especially team captain Asamoah Gyan who told him to continue working hard.
Sarfo was first named in the national squad for an African Cup of Nations qualifier match against Ethiopia in June. He said he was living his dream playing for the national team:
"It was a dream come true. That is the dream of every young chap growing up in Ghana to don the national colours".
He said that midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, with whom he was pictured last year while wearing his police uniform had been supportive of him, even though Agyemang-Badu had not been selected this time.
Sarfo says that he wants to play professionally because the world needs to see what "Samuel Sarfo is made of".
Sissoko follows Yoan Gouffran,centre-back Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa,left-back Massadio Haidara and right-back Mathieu Debuchy to St James' Park.
The 23-year-old has signed a six-and-a-half-year deal and will wear the number seven shirt.
Sissoko said: "I am delighted to be a Newcastle United player."
He will bring drive and energy to the squad, he is a winner and that's why I'm especially pleased to have him with us
The player, who came through the youth ranks at Toulouse, has six senior international caps.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said: "This transfer window has proved very productive for us and Moussa arriving is a massive plus for the club.
"He will bring drive and energy to the squad, he is a winner and that's why I'm especially pleased to have him with us.
"What all our signings this window bring is essential competition for places and that is great for the remainder of the season."
Toulouse had earlier revealed Sissoko would be signing for the north-east side.
"Moussa Sissoko will not go to the end of his contract. He found an agreement with Newcastle United for a definitive transfer," the club announced.
Before Haidara joined from Nancy, Gouffran was recruited from Bordeaux and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa from Montpellier, while Debuchy arrived from Lille.
Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Romain Amalfitano, Sylvain Marveaux and Gabriel Obertan are already at St James' Park.
Pardew's side finished fifth in the Premier League last season but they are 16th in 2012-13, two points above the relegation zone.
In other Newcastle news on Friday captain Fabricio Coloccini agreed to stay at the club until at least the end of the season.
It was the Royals' third successive loss on the road but they stay fifth in the Championship, with a four-point cushion inside the play-off places.
"When you see the first two goals, I think they're easy goals to concede," Al Habsi told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"At this stage of the season, you need to be more focused and make fewer mistakes."
Reading travel to sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday on Friday with the Owls just two points behind them in the table.
The Royals have now lost nine times away from home which is in stark contrast to their fortunes at the Madjeski Stadium, where they have been beaten just twice.
"We need to work this out," Al Habsi said. "In some games away, the performance is good, but the small detail, or a mistake, is what costs us the game.
"It's going to be a massive game for us at Hillsborough - and for them. We need to be focused and ready for it."
Three years after rowing to the North Pole, he will trek there with 14 rugby players.
Their aim is to play the most northerly game of rugby sevens in the sport's history in temperatures that could reach -50C.
As well as being physically and mentally ready, he said players needed to respect the hostile environment.
"We would rather they be scared than be over-confident," he said.
"Because once you are scared then you listen and once you listen then you achieve.
"I don't see major problems in the physical side, it will probably be in the mind and how they take in what we call 'polar shock'."
He said everyone suffered from the extreme cold, especially in their first days.
"It is usually in the first week that they make the mistakes - and a mistake up there very easily can go very badly wrong," he added.
Andrew Walker, from Closeburn, is one of four Scottish players taking part in the challenge which aims to raise £300,000 for Wooden Spoon, rugby's charity for children.
"Jock has mentioned previously that you can't really prepare yourself mentally so I will just need to hope I hold up for that," he said.
"Physically I feel good, about three weeks ago I really thought I turned a corner and feel good-to-go.
"I feel fit, strong and I'm only 27 at the end of the day - Jock's got about 40 years on me, so if he can do it I can do it."
A New York grand jury declined to charge Mr Stewart on Wednesday after hearing evidence in the case.
Ward, 20, was killed in August when he exited his vehicle in the middle of a race and was struck by Mr Stewart.
Prosecutors said two videos of the incident showed "no aberrational driving " by Mr Stewart.
And Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night of the accident "enough to impair judgment", according to Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo.
Mr Stewart, 43, a three-time Nascar champion, has said the incident was "the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever".
"While much of the attention has been on me, it's important to remember a young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr's family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers," he said in a statement.
On 9 August, Ward was racing alongside Stewart in a dirt track sprint race in Canandaigua Motorsports Park in New York State when his vehicle spun out.
Ward left his car and walked down the track, waving his arms at Mr Stewart in an apparent attempt to confront him.
Officials said another car swerved to avoid hitting Ward. Then, the front of Mr Stewart's vehicle appeared to clear Ward, but he was struck by the right rear tyre and was thrown through the air.
Ward's father later told a local newspaper there was "no reason" for the death, given Mr Stewart's experience and skills.
Mr Stewart went into seclusion after the fatal crash but returned to the racing circuit three weeks later. He co-operated with the grand jury investigation but did not testify in front of the panel.
Prosecutors asked the panel to consider charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
"There were not 12 votes to either charge," Mr Tantillo said.
University researchers looked at factors on which binge drinking has an effect, such as A&E admissions, road accidents and police officers on duty.
The figure, from the universities of Bath and Essex, was worked out by using data from government departments.
Dr Jonathan James, of the University of Bath, said he hoped the economic calculation could "act as a catalyst for policy makers in the UK".
The report said more needed to be done to address the social factors leading to binge drinking, which it defined as the consumption of 12 or more units of alcohol in any one period of drinking, typically on a Friday or Saturday night among individuals aged 18 to 30.
The research found binge drinking increased the average daily number of injury-related admissions to A&E by 8% - equivalent to 2,504 additional daily admissions nationally.
It also caused the average number of road accidents to go up by 17% - equivalent to 82 additional accidents a day nationally - while the average number of alcohol-related arrests increased by 45%, equivalent to 786 additional arrests per day nationally.
The problems associated with binge drinking also lead to the number of police officers on duty having to be increased by around 30%, equivalent to an additional 3.2 police officers on duty at the weekend for every 10,000 people in the country, researchers said.
Dr Jonathan James, of the University of Bath, said: "Much is known about the effects and costs of sustained heavy drinking in relation to increased risks of chronic diseases, the damage to social relationships and the increased burden placed on public services.
"However, little is known about the economic and social effects of binge drinking.
"We hope this calculation of the economic costs can act as a catalyst for policy makers in the UK to take targeted action that reduce the cost of binge drinking to society."
The figure does not take the long-term costs of binge drinking into account, such as reduced productivity, lost employment and health problems.
The study said to offset these costs, policy recommendations such as including a 52 pence minimum unit price for alcohol and an increase in alcohol excise duty directly in line with alcohol strength should be considered.
This could see a pint of beer increase by 23 pence, and a bottle of wine by 99 pence.
Former Oldham Athletic midfielder Jack Tuohy, 20, denies five sexual offences against a child in 2015.
The girl told Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court she "told a little lie" about her age on Facebook, which resulted in her being listed as 17.
But she remembered telling Mr Tuohy on Snapchat she was 14, the jury heard.
During cross examination, the girl also accepted her profile picture at the time made her appear older, and agreed she was "pouting a little bit".
But she denied the suggestion she had been trying to make herself look older.
Mr Tuohy first met the "football mad" girl at a schools tournament hosted by the League One club in 2015, the court heard.
The prosecution claims he went on to groom her before sexual activity took place in his car.
Paul Hodgkinson, defending, put it to the girl that it was she rather than his client who initiated contact shortly after the tournament and that she had known him for "some considerable time".
The court heard the complainant had "liked" a number of photographs of the defendant which he had posted on social media before the schools day at the club - one dating back to 2013.
The girl accepted she had liked the photographs but said that did not necessarily mean she did so before the tournament.
Mr Hodgkinson accused her of concealing her age because she wanted to "keep hold" of Mr Tuohy as a boyfriend - a claim she denied.
Mr Tuohy, of Shaw in Oldham, denies two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one count of meeting a child following sexual grooming.
The trial continues.
Lola, a sheepdog cross, required emergency surgery after the toy arrow became wedged in her stomach.
Her owner, Maria Caulfied from Newport, said it was an "absolute miracle" she survived and "shows that she's meant to be" with the family.
She said Lola was playing before she let out a "huge yelp" and became "violently sick".
The family rushed her to the vets and an X-ray showed the arrow spanned almost the entire length of her body.
Mrs Caulfield said the surgery went well and Lola should go on to make a full recovery.
It is furious with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon after he used the term "occupation" about the territory, which was annexed by Morocco in 1975.
The foreign ministry also said it would immediately cut funding and personnel for the UN Mission in Western Sahara.
Up to a million Moroccans protested in the capital Rabat on Sunday.
Mr Ban has criticised Morocco for its angry response to his comments and said that the protests had shown disrespect to both him and the UN.
Morocco currently contributes more than 2,300 soldiers and police to UN peacekeeping missions, mainly in African countries such as Mali, Ivory Coast, the Central African Republic and Burundi.
A statement from the foreign ministry said it was "examining the ways and means of withdrawing Moroccan contingents engaged in peacekeeping operations".
Mr Ban made the comments while visiting refugee camps in southern Algeria, where more than 160,000 ethnic Sahrawis, the main indigenous group of Western Sahara, live after many fled violence there in the 1970s.
Morocco annexed most of the disputed former Spanish colony in 1976.
But the Polisario Front, backed by Algeria, has been seeking independence.
On Tuesday, there were reports that nearly 200,000 people joined a protest Laayoune, the main city in Western Sahara, to show support for Morocco in the row.
Morocco and the Polisario Front fought over Western Sahara until a ceasefire was signed in 1991.
Many of those who fled the conflict are still living in refugee camps in southern Algeria. | Duncan Taylor insists there is plenty more to come from Scotland after Saturday's historic win over Australia.

Under pressure from Paddy Madden in the 73rd minute, Lockyer poked the ball past advancing goalkeeper Joe Lumley after a back-pass from substitute Ellis Harrison had put Rovers in trouble.
The hosts had taken the lead six minutes before the break when Ollie Clarke powered in a header from a Chris Lines corner. Scunthorpe goalkeeper Luke Daniels got a hand to the ball, but could not prevent it crossing the line.
Scunthorpe might have been ahead after just 12 seconds when Lumley blocked a volley from Duane Holmes.
In a frantic start Clarke had a low shot tipped past a post by Daniels before the visiting keeper also saved well from Rory Gaffney, whose follow-up shot came after Clarke had seen his effort blocked.
Both sides had chances in an open second half, Daniels denying Billy Bodin and Lumley saving well from Sam Mantom.

Taylor fought back from 3-1 and 6-4 down to level at 6-6 at Alexandra Palace in London.
Anderson, 44, won the first leg of the decider and when Taylor missed double 16 in the next, the Scot capitalised to win the £250,000 first prize.
"Phil is the best and always will be the best so that makes it more special," said fourth seed Anderson.
"I went 6-4 up and then after the break Phil took the next two sets and I felt it was gone."
A dramatic showdown saw Anderson recover from seeing all three darts drop out of the treble 20 on one visit at 4-4, while Englishman Taylor later missed a double for his first world championship nine-dart finish.
The 54-year-old, nicknamed The Power, missed a total of 55 doubles as he suffered only his fourth defeat in 20 world final appearances.
"Doubles cost me a couple of sets and he took advantage," the second seed told Sky Sports.
"My double eight and 16 were awful but Gary put me under pressure.
"At 6-6 I felt I had him and my energy levels were good, but he did a job on me and he beat me up in the last set."
Anderson became the first Scot to win a world title since Les 'McDanger' Wallace claimed the BDO crown in 1997.
A 121 checkout gave Anderson the first set in the 2015 final before a missed double 10 allowed his opponent to level.
Taylor cheekily tickled his rival under the chin after pulling back and despite losing the next two sets, a run of nine legs out of a possible 10 saw the man from Stoke open up a 4-3 lead.
Anderson missed bullseye for an 85 finish in the next set but Taylor missed double 12 and allowed Anderson to level the match in front of a 3,000 capacity crowd.
In the ninth set, Anderson failed to score on his first visit to the board after his third dart knocked out the previous two which were in treble 20.
Visibly annoyed, he lost the first two legs, but regrouped to win the next three and then opened up a 6-4 lead by taking the following set.
Taylor missed double 12 when almost completing a nine-dart finish at the start of an 11th set he took 3-0, and won the decisive fifth leg in the following set to tie the match at 6-6.
Three missed Taylor double 16s allowed Anderson to win the first two legs in the deciding final set and, although he missed a bullseye for victory, a double 12 completed a remarkable win. | Gary Anderson beat 16-time champion Phil Taylor 7-6 in a thrilling final to win his first PDC World Championship. | 30,676,725 | 570 | 26 | false |
One of the likeliest impacts of climate change in Wales is coastal erosion and an increased risk of flooding.
With over 1,300 miles (2,000km) of coastline, any sea level rise this century could be serious - especially during the type of stormy weather we've experienced in the last week.
Last year the Welsh government agreed to approve Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs).
These are long term assessments of risks associated with coastal eroding and flooding.
Haydn Thomas and his family bought their new home on Beach Road in Newton, near Porthcawl almost three years ago.
After renovations they moved in last year, and say they had no idea about the potential threat from the sea.
But after 20 years, the sea wall near the homes will not be maintained under the shoreline plan.
Mr Thomas and other residents are frustrated at how the plan has been set out - and the complex number of organisations and authorities behind it.
"We don't understand the policy and there's confusion as to why it's triggered by time rather than if sea levels actually do rise," he said.
"We want to live here because of the sea, not because we're worried about it. We thought it was going to be a dream house next to the sea.
"It's not saleability now but it's the inheritance - we have two young children."
Up to 40 local properties could be affected and Mr Thomas said there was "massive concern" among residents.
Six graphics that explain climate change
Newton is one of 48 locations listed as being affected or threatened by flooding or coastal erosion across the four SMPs covering Wales.
The non-statutory documents have been produced because of the perceived threat from climate change along some of Wales' coastline.
Prof Tavi Murray, chair of glaciology in Swansea University's geography department, said the sea level rise - best predicted as being somewhere between a half and one metre in the rest of this century - would have the key impact in Wales.
Extreme weather was likely to become more frequent, she said.
"There may also be more intense wave action during those storms. We are seeing it now and will continue to see it during the rest of this century."
Prof Murray said emissions from industry and transport were the main issue.
"It's the way we live our lives and I do wonder what our grandchildren are going to be thinking about that - and the changes they will have to make."
Ten years ago the National Trust (NT) was the first organisation to talk openly of adopting a different approach to engineering.
Instead of building seawalls, there would be a retreat from the sea.
Phil Dyke, the NT coast and marine officer for Wales, England and Northern Ireland, said: "What we don't want to see is a future when we sleepwalk into a concrete coast around Wales."
He said it was about rolling back infrastructure like railway lines and major roads away from at risk areas.
There is a project starting in Newgale in Pembrokeshire to realign the A487, hit by severe storms nearly two years ago.
"Let's not put new buildings in places we know that are vulnerable in the future so we're not storing up problems," said Mr Dyke.
"It's not building on flood plains and thinking about where we put key bits of infrastructure."
Fairbourne in Gwynedd has more than 500 homes at risk of coastal flooding.
Gwynedd Council is committed to defending the houses for 40 years, but is beginning to talk publicly of "de-commissioning" the village should the sea rise with climate change.
There are flooding threats from three sources in Fairbourne - sea, river and groundwater.
Lisa Marshall, works with the council on the Fairbourne Moving Forward project. She said grasping what could happen in the future was the biggest challenge.
"The burning question on everyone's lips is how much is my house worth - I've had it valued and it's not worth anywhere near as I anticipated it being worth."
She said there were difficult messages and hard truths to tell people.
"There are some questions we can't answer and we may not be able to answer them satisfactorily for many years to come but on the whole the residents are grateful for us being honest with them."
Three months ago, 14 devices were installed to measure water levels underground in Fairbourne every 15 minutes.
The first readings are currently being analysed, in the type of research that could be useful elsewhere too.
Studies have found the cattle are more active when their fertility peaks.
The collars are one example being showcased in conferences of how technology can boost productivity.
Although robotic milking and heat detection collars are regularly used in the dairy sector, beef farmers have been much slower to utilise technology.
SAC Consulting said it hoped farmers could realise the potential efficiency improvements that could come from precision technology.
Andrew Gammie, from Drumforber Farm in Laurencekirk, has been using the pedometers for two years but is one of only a handful of beef farmers in Scotland to do so.
He has 15 collars on his herd of limousin cows, which detect movement and send the information to a receiver on the roof of a barn.
The information is processed by computer and when an animal is in heat, he receives a text message telling him to begin artificial insemination.
He said: "For me, when I was building my cow numbers up, I couldn't justify having a bull about.
"This way was a lot more efficient for the way I was working things. It's a lot more cost-effective and just a better management tool."
Technology seminars are being run for farmers in the Borders, Perth, Inverness and Aberdeenshire.
SAC Consulting, which is organising the events, stress that technology will never replace good stocksmanship.
However, senior consultant David Ross said that it could provide more information.
He said: "It gives you a bit more data to be able to use and be able to study. It's by doing that, that you'll get the little gains that add up to a big gain in margin at the end of the year.
"With the next generation of farmers that's coming along, most have got a smartphone in their pocket and they're now able to use apps and other bits of kit that help them in their daily job.
"I think we will see a shift that there will be more of this technology used in the future."
English Heritage will convert farmland next to the existing coach park and will include walkways for pedestrians.
Concerns had been raised over increased traffic, landscape impact and what would happen after the two-year period.
Wiltshire Council's conditions include ensuring the land can easily be returned to its original state.
Last month, the council rejected plans to resurface an overflow car park on the grounds of visual impact on the landscape.
More than 1.3 million people have visited the prehistoric monument since the opening of a new visitor centre in December 2013.
Seven councillors approved the vote, with three against and one abstaining.

Here's BBC News NI's guide to Election 2017 as the assembly is 're-booted' for another term.
Messi is out for three weeks but was barely missed as Barca scored five away from home for the second week in a row.
Luis Suarez rounded the keeper for the first before Rafinha's diving header put Barca 2-0 up at half-time.
Sporting captain Alberto Lora was sent off on 74 minutes, before Neymar scored either side of an Arda Turan goal.
Lora was already on a booking when he was shown a second yellow card for a lunging challenge on Sergi Roberto, who responded by creating the champions' third and fourth goals - having already claiming a first-half assist for Rafinha's effort.
Paco Alcacer, still chasing his first Barca goal following his move from Valencia, had his first-time shot from a Sergi cross touched against the bar by goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar, with Neymar keeping his feet to control the loose ball and steer it in.
Turan then headed in a terrific cross from his right-back, before Neymar converted a pass from substitute Denis Suarez for Barca, who won 5-1 at Leganes last Saturday.
A much-changed Barcelona side got the job done as they went top of La Liga - at least for a few hours, before Sevilla and Real Madrid both played later on Saturday.
For long spells, this was far from a vintage performance from Luis Enrique's side, yet they were utterly ruthless once the home side were reduced to 10 men.
The result justified the manager's decision to mix and match his team in advance of a midweek Champions League trip to Borussia Monchengladbach.
Enrique has made squad rotation a key plank of his strategy this season - with mixed results.
It was an approach that failed miserably against promoted Alaves two weeks ago, when a team showing seven changes - and without Messi or Suarez in the starting line-up - lost 2-1 at home.
Enrique has been noticeably more careful with his rotation since then, although he did make five alterations for the trip to his home city of Gijon, with Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic among those dropping out.
Tellingly, the manager - without the injured Messi to call on - fielded his strongest possible forward line, with Suarez and Neymar lining up in attack, joined by Rafinha.
The champions had to withstand a nervy opening 20 minutes, during which goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen handled outside his penalty area as he tried to deal with a dangerous long ball.
Two quick first-half goals deflated Sporting, and it looked as if that would be that, until a late flurry heaped punishment on the home side.

The Chosun dynasty artefacts, dating from the 16th and 17th Centuries, are believed to be worth a combined $1.5m (£1.15m).
The royal seals, depicting turtles, were presented to President Moon Jae-in during his visit to Washington on Friday.
The US has returned some 8,000 items to more than 30 countries since 2007.
The older of the South Korean artefacts, a gilt-bronze seal made in 1547 to honour Queen Munjeong, the third wife of the Chosun Dynasty's eleventh king, is thought to have been stolen during the Korean War.
The other - a jade block made for King Hyeonjong in 1651 - is believed to have been taken during the Japanese occupation of Korea, between 1910 and 1945.
Investigations began after Queen Munjeong's seal was discovered in a Los Angeles museum in 2013. King Hyeonjong's seal was found in a private collection.
Both will arrive in South Korea on Sunday with President Moon.
They will go on public display from August.
Neil Hamilton said that with Brexit achieved, UKIP's aim now was to inform the Welsh electorate of its domestic policies.
And he denied the party had outlived its purpose, following the vote to leave the European Union.
His comments come despite UKIPs loss in Stoke-on-Trent Central's by-election on Friday.
The party had hoped to capitalise on voters' leanings towards Brexit - the area voted strongly to leave the EU in June - but Labour held its seat.
UKIP was founded in 1991 with the sole aim of getting the UK out of the EU.
But Mr Hamilton defended the role of his party post-Brexit while speaking to Sunday Politics Wales.
"In the last 20 years, UKIP has become an essential, particularly in Wales, part of the domestic political scene and we now have to refocus our attention upon other issues," he said.
"We have serious work now in order to show people we do have other policies which can benefit them in their daily lives."
With six assembly members, UKIP are hoping to establish a further foot-hold in Wales in the up-coming local elections.
"Carywn Jones doesn't hold a majority in the assembly, he can only do so with the combination of other parties," Mr Hamilton said.
"We are an important voice in Wales, we got the best part of 15% of the vote in the assembly election last year and all the current opinion polls show that we would actually do better in Wales today than we did last May."
The video shows the bird briefly lifting the child in a Montreal park before dropping him unharmed.
Nearly 17 million people have watched the video on YouTube in three days.
But a digital training centre in Montreal later told the BBC that the clip was made by its students as part of a degree course.
Suzanne Guevremont, director of the Centre NAD, said the clip had been produced by four students who "had an idea of making something believable".
The students - who were doing a degree in 3D animation and digital design - had come up with the idea after a brainstorming session, completing the project in seven weeks, she said.
"It's a challenge... they wanted to test their skills," Ms Guevremont said.
She added that the bird and the child seen being snatched were all computer generated imagery (CGI), and the only real things in the video were the park, the boy (after being dropped on the ground) and his father comforting him.
The CGI was dropped into real footage to create the effect.
Some YouTube and Twitter users expressed doubts about the authenticity of the clip soon after it was posted online on 18 December.
In May last year, the A&E department at Queen's Hospital, Romford, started a six-week trial to divert patients away from the department.
Patients that attended A&E would be seen as soon as they walked into the department by either a consultant or a GP.
"The doctors would review them, and if appropriate they would redirect them to a more appropriate setting," says Sarah Tedford, chief operating officer at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
"For a lot of patients that actually meant self care - so these were patients who, with the right reassurance, could actually manage the condition themselves."
Alternatively, patients would be redirected to a pharmacist or to their GP so they could get an appointment for a later date.
The trial worked so well that it has been adopted full time.
They currently divert between 60 and 90 patients a day.
"Most of them can be seen and assessed within five minutes," instead of potentially waiting for hours, Sarah Tedford says.
She says the staff and most patients have taken to it "very well" and they have have been asked to go and talk to other hospitals about it.
"It's just really important to stress it's about directing patients to the most appropriate setting rather than waiting in a busy emergency department where they don't actually need to be," she says.
"It's about reassuring the public - it's not turning away sick patients, that's absolutely not what it's about."
In Glasgow, older patients have been helped to leave hospital thanks to a programme that opened 90 beds in private nursing homes.
Discharge policies were changed so that patients could leave hospital within 72 hours, and their long-term needs could be assessed outside hospital, rather than lying in a hospital bed.
The intermediate care programme, as it is called, was set up in 2014 by Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde.
David Williams, the chief officer for Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, says they asked the care home providers to work with them to "look at re-enablement and rehabilitating" the people placed in the homes.
"We set targets to get 30% of people home that came into intermediate care beds, and we have achieved that consistently," he says.
Beforehand, those people would probably have ended up going into residential nursing care for the rest of their days, he adds.
Now, moving patients out of hospital beds more quickly has helped the system to flow.
Last week, figures showed there were only 24 patients aged over 65 who had been delayed leaving hospital. That compares with 140 people in 2014.
In the Wirral, a community diabetes clinic is reaching patients who can't travel or don't want to come to hospital.
These are the people that Dr King Sun Leong, a consultant in diabetes, worries about.
He set up the clinic in November 2015, because he wanted to get access to patients earlier to try to stop type-2 diabetes from taking hold, which can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other health issues.
Working with a GP and a specialist nurse, Dr Leong monitors patients' diets and lifestyle, talks to them about their work and their social life and how they lead their lives.
He also gives them advice and treatment with the aim of preventing future complications.
"If you've got a little hole in your roof, you want to stop it turning into a big hole," Dr Leong says, explaining why it's crucial to see patients early on in the community.
And they've had good results.
With two community diabetes clinics now in the Wirral, more nurses are being trained to deal with the care of type-2 diabetes and more people are being helped to avoid long-term health problems.
Patients visiting GPs in Rotherham are not just offered the normal array of drugs and treatment - they are given the option of exercise clubs, arts groups, metal work clubs and yoga.
The concept - known as social prescribing - is based on evidence that shows about a fifth of patients visiting GPs have a social rather than medical problem.
The scheme - run by Voluntary Action, a partnership of more than 20 organisations - was launched in 2012.
Now, every GP practice is using it and more than 2,000 patients have benefited.
GPs and social workers refer those who they believe would benefit to one of five social-prescribing workers.
They visit the patient in their home to carry out an assessment and work out what prescription to offer them.
It certainly seems to be working. An evaluation has found A&E visits have dropped by a fifth among those who have had a social prescription.
The council and local NHS has started working together in the London borough of Sutton to keep care home residents well.
GPs have been employed to carry out regular visits of care homes, with each resident now receiving six-monthly check-ups.
A pharmacist is on hand to visit homes to carry out medicine reviews.
And district nurses have been used to train care home staff in dementia, falls and diabetes.
It certainly seems to be working.
Since the project started in 2015, there has been a 10% drop in visits to A&E.
But help is also on hand when care home residents need to go into hospital.
It's a relatively simple concept.
When a care home resident needs to go into a hospital, a red bag is packed for them.
It contains their details, vital information about their health conditions, supplies of medicine, and even a change of clothes for when they are ready to be discharged - after cases where hospitals had to borrow clothes from lost property when patients had been ready for discharge.
The initiative also sees a member of the care home staff visiting the patient in hospital within 48 hours of admission.
And this all helps doctors and nurses treat them more effectively.
The result is older people are spending less time in hospital - eight days, which is four fewer than before the scheme was set up.
A week of coverage by BBC News examining the state of the NHS across the UK as it comes under intense pressure during its busiest time of the year.
Hundreds of girls were sent to Kendall house in Gravesend in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, before it closed in 1986.
The independent review set up by the Bishop of Rochester said the home was a place where cruelty was normalised.
It found girls were heavily sedated and placed in straitjackets. The Church of England has apologised.
In a report the inquiry team said: "The findings are harrowing."
The home was "a place where control, containment and sometimes cruelty were normalised."
The review found girls as young as 11 were "routinely and often without any initial medical assessment, given antidepressants, sedatives and anti-psychotic medication".
Drugs were administered in dosages exceeding usual prescribed adult levels to control girls' behaviour, placing them in a constant stupor, and restricting their ability to communicate, the report said.
The review found: "The effects of the drugs also increased their vulnerability to emotional, physical and in a smaller number of cases, sexual abuse".
On at least two occasions girls were placed in straitjackets and others were threatened with transfer to a local mental health hospital, the report said.
So much abuse has been uncovered in recent years, we are in danger of becoming impossible to shock. Then you read about what happened in Kendall House.
Consider this line from the inquiry: "We have found that every former resident…was in fact the victim of abuse."
And: "Concerns about the medication regime at Kendall House were raised in the 1970s and 1980s. All were either ignored, rebuked or belittled."
Long-term institutional abuse on young vulnerable girls was perpetuated by staff and tolerated by the Church of England.
The Rochester diocese, already in financial difficulties, is now going to pay compensation to the women they so singularly and inexplicably failed.
The consequences of the abuse however may be even more widespread than the inquiry concluded.
At least one former resident maintains the drugs forced on her led to birth defects, something the inquiry did not investigate.
Launched by the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, the review chaired by Professor Sue Proctor, who led the inquiry into Jimmy Savile's abuse at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, found the abuse had led to many "broken lives".
She described the Church's initial response to allegations about Kendall House as "woeful" and inadequate" and said the administration of powerful drugs appeared to have an "experimental approach".
The report said: "The evidence we have heard and read during this review tells of a place which was, on the whole, toxic and destructive to the girls placed there."
In 2009, Teresa Cooper told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she was given major tranquilisers, anti-depressants and drugs to counteract side-effects while in the children's home.
The programme found 10 ex-residents at Kendall House had gone on to have children with birth defects after being forcibly given cocktails of drugs, including tranquilisers, during the 1970s and 80s.
In 2010, Ms Cooper agreed an out-of-court settlement with the Church of England, which did not accept liability.
The review recommended the dioceses of Rochester and Canterbury make payments to all former residents who took part in the review.
Bishop Paul Butler, lead bishop on safeguarding for the Church of England, said: "The appalling standards of care and treatment should never have been allowed.
"On behalf of the national church I apologise unreservedly to all the former residents whose lives were and continue to be affected by their damaging experiences at Kendal House."
The Bishop of Dover and Canterbury, the Rt Rev Trevor Willmott, said the Church would act on the report's recommendations speedily.
He said: "It is clear that we failed. We know words cannot undo the failings of the past, but I would like to echo both Bishop James's apology to former residents of Kendall House."
The collection began 20 years ago, when Jose Alberto Gutierrez fished out a discarded copy of Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina.
He now offers his books to other people as a free community library.
"I realised that people were throwing books away in the rubbish. I started to rescue them," he said.
Mr Gutierrez, who has gained the nickname The Lord of the Books, began collecting books that had been dumped in the waste bins in wealthier parts of the city.
He would take them out of the rubbish and retrieve them for families in poorer areas.
His collection of chucked away books is now used by families wanting to help their children with their homework, in a free library called the Strength of Words.
"There was a lack of them in our neighbourhood, so we started to help," said Mr Gutierrez.
Global education
Get in touch with Sean Coughlan ([email protected]) with any ideas.
His home has been overfilled with books, so they are now taking books to poor parts of the city or to remote areas without any access to libraries.
"The more books we give away, the more come to us," he said.
He has also been providing books for fighters being demobilised in Colombia's peace process.
A fighter from the Farc rebel group contacted him about getting books to help them prepare for jobs when they re-enter civilian life.
"Books transformed me, so I think books are a symbol of hope for those places. They are a symbol of peace," said Mr Gutierrez.
Now in his 50s, Mr Gutierrez is going back to study for his school leaver's exam, which he missed first time round.
These last 12 months have been marked by the rise of low-cost tablets, ultra-slim laptops and "phablets" - outsized smartphones that looked extravagant in January, but have since become the new norm.
We've seen handsets turn into wallets thanks to near-field communication (NFC) technology, Google push the boundaries of augmented reality with its Google Glass headsets, 4G arrive in the UK and Twitter break records during the 2012 Olympics.
We've also witnessed a number of high-profile patent trials, including one which saw a US court ordering Samsung to pay Apple $1.05bn (£652m) in damages for infringing its intellectual rights.
Then there was Facebook's flotation, and Google executive Marissa Mayer taking charge of Yahoo after her predecessor stepped down amid accusations of a fake computer science degree on his CV.
All big stories, but none of them made it onto the list of articles you, the readers, clicked on the most.
At the top of the page the BBC's World Service technology correspondent hosts his own tech summit to find out what three wired-in insiders made of the past 52 weeks.
What follows are what proved to be your favourites.
The year started with protests against anti-piracy laws in the US - the Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa).
News that Wikipedia had taken its English-language site offline as part of the campaign became the most-read story of January.
Users attempting to access the site saw a black screen and a statement saying: "Imagine a world without free knowledge."
The proposed legislation was meant to allow the US Justice Department and content owners to seek court orders requiring search engines to block results associated with piracy.
But following the protests, the US Congress halted debate on the contested bills.
In February, the Raspberry Pi became the break-out story with news that the mini-computer had gone on sale.
This credit-card sized, low-cost PC was created by volunteers to help teach children to code.
Supporters say the machines could help reverse a lack of programming skills in the UK.
More than 750,000 devices have been sold to users around the world, and in December, the Pi Store opened - a one-stop shop where anyone can share games, applications and tools developed for the computer.
Other super-budget computers followed in its wake, but none have had the same impact so far.
March provided Apple with its first opportunity to dominate the news after the firm unveiled its first iPad with a high-definition "retina" screen.
Although the firm's tablet is still the market-leader, a report issued by ABI Research in November indicated that Apple's share of worldwide shipments had dropped from a 69% share in the April-to-June period to a 55% portion the following quarter.
Competition from Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7 may have been responsible for the product being updated eight months later - a faster turnaround than had been expected.
Apple topped the list again the following month - but this time for all the wrong reasons with news that more than half a million Mac computers had been infected with malware, according to a Russian anti-virus firm.
Dr Web reported in April that about 600,000 Macs had installed the Flashback Trojan, potentially allowing them to be hijacked via a vulnerability in the Java programming language.
Apple later released a software update that removed the Java plug-in from internet browsers on its machines - a setback for its developer, Oracle.
News of another cyber-attack that collected private data from countries such as Israel and Iran made headlines in May.
Russian security firm Kaspersky Labs said the malware, known as Flame, had been in operation since August 2010, and described it as "one of the most complex threats ever discovered".
It was later suggested that Flame might date back further to 2006.
In June, Facebook faced a backlash from users after it replaced email addresses listed in members' contacts with ones provided by its @facebook.com system.
Some branded the move "annoying" and "lame" and posted instructions about how to switch back to the original addresses.
"We are providing every Facebook user with his or her own Facebook email address because we find that many users find it useful to connect with each other, but using Facebook email is completely up to you," said a statement from the company.
Several users later complained the social network had erased email contacts in their mobile phone address books, replacing them with @facebook.com listings; Facebook promised to address the issue.
July saw one of the year's most unusual headlines rise to prominence: Microsoft fixes "big boobs" coding gaffe.
A string of characters - 0xB16B00B5 - had been buried in code written to help a Microsoft program work with Linux open source software.
Some were not amused.
"Puerile sniggering at breasts contributes to the continuing impression that software development is a boys' club," wrote one leading engineer.
It hadn't helped that the revelation came just a month after Microsoft had had to apologise for what it described as "offensive elements and vulgar language" included in a presentation in Norway.
Once again the firm had to make its excuses, and shortly after released a patch that changed the string's spelling.
August's top story switched from the digital world to military hardware and an attempt by a hypersonic jet to set a new speed record.
The US Air Force's unmanned Waverider aircraft had been designed to fly at six times the speed of sound (3,600mph; 5795km/hr) for five minutes.
At that velocity it could travel from London to New York in about an hour. The Pentagon and Nasa hoped to use the technology to develop faster missiles.
But seconds into its mission an error occurred and the craft ended up breaking up over the Pacific Ocean,
It was the second time the experiment had failed - a third, final attempt has been scheduled for next year.
Apple bungled its way back to the most-read list again in September with the launch of its iOS 6 Maps app,
Missing towns, bridges that looked like they'd been sketched by a surrealist and satellite images that only showed clouds were among its many flaws.
To make matters worse the previously reliable Google-powered option could not be reinstalled once users had made the switch.
A backlash ensued leading to an apology from chief executive Tim Cook followed by the ousting of two senior executives linked to the project.
That didn't stop the complaints continuing - with a recent example from the Australian police suggesting that a mistake in the app could prove "life-threatening".
But any threat to sales of the iPhone was offset by Google's release of a native version of its maps software for the handset in December, which can now sit alongside Apple's own offering.
In October, it was Mozilla's turn to come under pressure after a security vulnerability was discovered in the latest version of its Firefox browser.
The firm confirmed the flaw could allow "malicious sites" to determine what pages a user had visited.
About 450 million people use the program, but the firm said only "a limited number" had been affected.
The download was quickly yanked offline and a fix followed.
In November, the most-read story was a look at flexible phones of the future.
A number of companies are currently working on razor-thin, paper-like and bendable handsets, and some have promised to launch such devices in 2013.
This could become one of next year's big themes.
Samsung has already announced it intends to make a splash at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month with a pair of bendy displays
If the rumours are to be believed one will be designed for a handset and the other a TV.
And finally, the biggest story of December was Facebook's photo-sharing site Instagram revamping its privacy policy.
Some vague language meant the rewritten terms could be read to mean that the site had the right to sell users' photos to advertisers without notice. Threats of boycotts followed.
The firm rushed out a statement saying users had misinterpreted the agreement as a consequence of its confusing" choice of language.
The text was switched back to its original version to give the firm time to work out how best to amend it to ensure it can start making money without the risk of scaring off its members.

What happens if you put a maker of humanoid robots, a consumer gadgets geek and a lady whose mission in life is enthusing children about computer coding in studio together?
Find out by watching the video of our first "Tech Summit". Our panel reviewed tech trends over the last year and looked ahead to 2013.
Among the points that emerged: studying the human anatomy to see what will work on robots; low-cost tablets opening up new ways to get kids involved in tech; and Apple is likely to get very little from its global patent war with Samsung.
But for me one overarching theme was: 2012 was the year the mobile internet came of age.
In wealthier nations, more than half the population have smartphones. A tsunami of low-cost Android devices is sweeping through developing markets.
An important milestone in the next 12 months will be when for the first time the number of internet-connected portable devices is expected to exceed that of web-enabled personal computers.
The combination of highly portable devices and the mobile internet is transforming our experience of computing.
Not long ago, more than 90% of interaction with the internet was on devices driven by Microsoft software. Now the figure is less than 30%.
By way of context, I remember chatting with a Taiwanese IT entrepreneur back in 1998.
He spoke dreamily of a far-off time when everyone would walk around with what he described as a "personal communicator" in their pockets and how this would transform their lives.
This year may go down as the year when that man's seemingly dotty vision became a statement of fact.
His ill-defined and hard to imagine personal communicator is the smartphone sitting in your pocket or the tablet in your hand.
The revolution has arrived.

A range of other drugs in the same class including ketamine and crystal meth became legal on Tuesday after a court challenge.
The new legislation will officially be signed into law on Wednesday afternoon.
It will come into force at midnight meaning many drugs remain legal until then.
Members of the Dail, the main chamber of Ireland's parliament, passed the emergency legislation on Tuesday night.
The Seanad, the upper chamber, approved it on Wednesday afternoon, and now it will be passed to the Irish president to sign into law.
When the law comes into force at midnight, possession of drugs such as ecstasy and crystal meth will have been legal for around 36 hours.
In 2012, a Lithuanian man was prosecuted for possession of methylethcathinone, a substance once stocked by shops selling legal highs.
The government had put the drug on its list of outlawed substances the previous year, along with dozens of others.
The man brought a case to Ireland's Court of Appeal, arguing the outlawing of the drug was unconstitutional, because lawmakers had not voted in support of it.
The court agreed and on Tuesday morning it ruled methylethcathinone was not illegal.
This meant more than 100 drugs covered by the same section of law also became legal, including ecstasy, magic mushrooms, crystal meth and benzodiazepines.
It's legal to possess them but not to sell, supply, import or export them.
Laws relating to older, more established drugs such as heroin, cocaine or cannabis have not been affected.
Ireland's Health Minister Leo Varadkar said the government knew this might happen and had drafted emergency legislation in January.
He warned drug dealers they would be arrested if caught selling drugs and urged people to consider how harmful drugs were before considering taking them.
Newsbeat spoke to Ireland's police force, the Garda, and asked them what they would do if they found people in possession of drugs like ecstasy before midnight on Wednesday.

Reports link former Blues boss Jose Mourinho with a return to Stamford Bridge, while it looks increasingly likely that veteran midfielder Frank Lampard will extend his stay in west London by at least one more season.
After a difficult campaign involving an early Champions League exit,a managerial departure and hostility from fans to the new arrival, two former Chelsea stars assess the current state of the club, the legacy of the Benitez era, and what 2013-14 could hold.
"Benitez has done a wonderful job and is leaving a mini-legacy from his time in charge, and people should be grateful for what he has done.

"There is a will about the team - you saw it in the Champions League final last year and it happened again at half-time tonight when the players themselves decided to go and win that trophy.
"The squad is in transition invariably. With John Terry and Frank Lampard, even if they do stay, it will still be relatively short-term.
"The team will continue to evolve and, having secured Champions League football, they can go out in the summer and attract players who would otherwise be looking elsewhere.
"There is a good strong nucleus of players there who are all pulling in the same direction and that is absolutely vital at the highest level if you are to overcome difficult periods in games.
"The club is in fantastic shape and it's just a shame, because of the way the club has operated, that people still talk about the other issues.
"Volatility is the norm and most people would ask how it can be success when it's unstable, but Chelsea is the anomaly.
"Rafael Benitez managed the squad and the players look like they're together. That stems from the manager and he's galvanised that squad.
"He deserves credit and it's a shame that some people want to tear that page out of the history books because of something he said a long time ago."
"The speculation I am hearing from behind the scenes is that John Terry will not be at Chelsea next year.
Chelsea's triumph means Rafael Benitez becomes only the fourth manager to win the Uefa Cup/Europa League more than once. Others to have achieved that feat are:
"Chelsea are formidable despite chopping and changing their manager all the time, but I do feel that if they had kept their managers for a little longer they might have won even more trophies.
"We wait and see who might come in here, but the academy is doing very well - they just lost to Norwich in the Youth Cup final on Monday night, and they have got talent coming through. But with a big club like Chelsea you want the finished article.
"Rafael Benitez's CV looks fantastic with another European trophy. I know the management have been very happy with him and they didn't realise the venom he would come across, but in different circumstances he would be the Chelsea manager next year.
"I have friends who support Chelsea. They're businessmen, sensible people, and they just have a blank when it comes to Rafa Benitez. I wish they'd change their minds but they won't. I wish the fans would show him some respect.
"It's the comment about the plastic flags that sticks with them. He's said he doesn't have anything to apologise for and he was defending his team. There are so many sub-plots, but he needs the respect he deserves because he's won a European trophy."
Firefighters used breathing apparatus to lead the three to safety from the home in Dixon Crescent, Doncaster.
Two of the people, a man in his 30s and another man in his 20s, were neighbours who had tried to rescue the occupant of the house, a woman in her 20s.
All three were treated in hospital for the effects of smoke inhalation.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze started on the ground floor of the property which was well alight when crews arrived, "with flames beginning to shoot through the downstairs windows of the terraced house".
Watch manager Dave Newton, of Edlington fire station, said: "This was a really serious fire which has resulted in three people being taken to hospital.
"The early conclusions of our fire investigators are that faulty Christmas tree lights caused the blaze, so please check the safety of any lights you are using."
Prahlad Pandya, owner of Highfields Taxis, was convicted in his absence after a driver refused to pick up Mohammed Khatri from BBC Leicester.
Pandya, of Gwencole Crescent, Leicester, was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £655.50 costs.
The prosecution was brought by the city council which said it hoped it would send a message to other cab firms.
A taxi was ordered for Mr Khatri and his assistance dog Vargo after an interview he gave to BBC TV in January.
When a reporter called to check where it was he was told none of the drivers would collect a passenger with a dog.
At the time, the firm apologised to Mr Khatri and told the BBC it would never happen again.
Speaking after the hearing Mike Broster, from the city council, said: "The operator in this case had a legal duty to provide services to someone who wanted to use an assistance dog and they didn't comply with that.
"The city council hopes that this case sends out a message to other operators that they need to comply with that duty and if they don't the city council will prosecute them."
The Welsh Government is looking to merge the commercial functions of National Museum Wales and Cadw under the banner Historic Wales.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates has said the aim was financial resilience.
Plaid's culture spokesman Dr Dai Lloyd accused ministers of an "unacceptable" lack of consultation, and threatened to block the merger.
"Such institutions represent the custodians of Welsh heritage," he said.
"They play a key role in our national identity and for that reason the Labour government must approach their independence as a red line in any reforms carried out.
"Failure to do so will undermine the integrity and purpose of these treasured institutions."
Mr Lloyd added that he would be asking for a Senedd debate on the plan for Historic Wales and urged Mr Skates to "pay heed to the heritage sector's concerns".
Referring to the deal under which Plaid supports Labour's right to govern Wales, Mr Lloyd said: "There are various things we are unhappy about in the loose compact arrangement with Labour. This is right up there."
"I wouldn't have thought it would come to a vote [in the Senedd]. But we remain against it.
"And if it comes to a vote we would be voting against it. It is one of those red lines."
Earlier in October, National Museum Wales director general David Anderson warned AMs that a partial merger would see the museum "tied by the legs", saying its commercial and other activities were "deeply integrated with each other".
Former Arts Council of Wales chairman Dai Smith has also said he was alarmed by the plan.
Holyrood's economy committee is examining whether working conditions have improved or declined since the recession and subsequent recovery.
MSPs will look at how that has affected the health and wellbeing of workers.
They will also explore the impact of low wages and temporary or insecure jobs on the Scottish economy.
The committee will look at what the Scottish government and public policy makers can do to improve job quality and wellbeing.
Workers will be able to air their views through a survey which is being issued as part of the committee's call for evidence.
Committee convener Murdo Fraser said: "The Scottish economy is clearly on the road to recovery but it's important that as politicians we reflect on whether the 2008 recession has had a long-lasting impact on the quality of jobs in the labour market."
The Tory MSP said: "An increase of people in employment is always to be welcomed. However, this inquiry will delve into the issues behind the headlines and determine if job quality has improved.
"Issues such as low pay and zero hour contracts are high on the political agenda, but this inquiry wants to get to the bottom of their impact on the wider Scottish economy."
Deputy convener Dennis Robertson said: "Part of this inquiry is about hearing directly from people across Scotland who work in different sectors of the economy about what they value from an employer and if their working conditions have improved."
The SNP MSP said: "Along with other evidence, this will help us as a committee to determine the impact of employment practices on the Scottish economy.
"The health and social impact of employment practices is one the committee is particularly interested in hearing more about, particularly the impact of low pay."
Alameda is surrounded by neat rows of olive trees that stretch for miles towards the distant sierra. Two hours east of Seville, the town is a maze of narrow streets lined by orange trees and whitewashed houses.
The mayor, Juan Lorenzo Pinera, seems to know most of the people he passes in the town square. Many of them shout greetings or stop to ask him a question. Since Spain's housing bubble burst, the thing most people want to know is whether he has any work going.
"The situation is very difficult," he says.
"All the men who were working in construction lost their jobs, and now many of them are no longer eligible for government help.
"We have families who have been thrown out of their homes and everyday people come to the town hall asking for food."
He has come up with an idea to share out the work that is available at the town hall: a jobs lottery.
Those who are unemployed - 34% of the population of 5,600 people - can sign up to be in the running for jobs as cleaners, street sweepers or builders.
Each month eight women are selected at random to clean the town's public buildings.
They work four hours per day, and are paid 650 euros (£526; $843) for the month.
More than 600 women have signed up to the cleaning lottery and many of them squeeze into a room at the town hall every month to watch the mayor pick folded slips of paper out of a cardboard box.
At the local school, three of this month's winners are sweeping and mopping the empty classroom floors.
Montse Solsona is a housewife and used to work in the fields during the olive harvest but she says the unemployed men in the town now do the olive-picking, so she has not had any paid work for two years.
"This cleaning job is an amazing help," she says.
"I only wish it was for longer. At the end of the month I'll go back to doing housework but we're struggling because my husband is also unemployed and our government benefits have been cut off."
Maria Jose Bastida's husband used to have a well-paid building job so she has never needed to work before. She was delighted when her name came up in the lottery.
"My husband has been unemployed for five years," she says.
"At the moment we get 426 euros each month in family allowances, and the money I earn cleaning will go towards our mortgage."
Men cannot sign up for the cleaning lottery.
Instead, 750 of them have put their names down for the four building jobs which were available each month. But since the summer this lottery has been suspended because there is no public money to fund building projects.
The street-sweeping lottery is held every three months, and the names of more than 200 men and women are on the list. Jose Antonio was one of three people selected in the most recent draw.
He pushes his cart around the small square next to the town hall, sweeping up leaves and litter. He is a qualified electrician but has been out of work for five years.
"Working makes me feel like a man again," he says. "I have a small son and it's good to be able to provide for him, even if it is only for three months."
Signs hanging from palm trees high above the square read: "We should save people, not the banks!" and "Shame on you, politicians, we don't applaud your cuts".
The central government has enacted severe austerity measures and the subsidies that once flooded into the region from Madrid and the EU are drying up.
Which is why, the mayor says, the town's jobs lottery is so important.
"People here know that they won't have work for some time," he says.
"The economy is dead. They don't see a future. The lottery at least gives them something to hope for each month."
Dorset's County Hospital is carrying out a review of services, including maternity and paediatrics.
It has prompted dozens of parents to post images of their children receiving care at the hospital in Dorchester.
Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group said it was considering how to reorganise health services for the future.
Photos shared on the group include children born prematurely and other poorly youngsters whose parents are opposed to any changes.
Among the areas under review are the special care baby unit (SCBU), Kingfisher children's ward and maternity services at the hospital.
Parents have been sharing the posts on the Save the SCBU, Kingfisher and Maternity at DCH Facebook page.
Jermaine Baker, 28, was shot near Wood Green Crown Court, north London, during the alleged attempt on 11 December.
Izzet Eren, 32, has been charged with conspiring to escape lawful custody and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to commit an offence.
He is due before Bromley Magistrates' Court on 3 February.
Mr Eren and Erwin Amoyaw-Gyamfi were being transported to Wood Green Crown Court at the time.
Mr Baker, aged 28 and from Tottenham, was killed during the police operation in Bracknell Close, behind the court.
Four other suspects accused of involvement in the plot are due at Woolwich Crown Court on 29 February.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission and Directorate of Professional Standards - the Metropolitan Police's internal watchdog - are investigating the shooting.
Griffiths was confronted - and responded verbally - as the team flew out for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Rosenborg.
Rodgers said he had not heard of the incident with the Scotland forward.
"Incident or no incident, it's something we can look at that allows us to travel safely," he said.
"The club knows my feeling on our travel and the organisation with that.
"That's something that's internal for us and, with the help of Glasgow Airport, we can maybe get something more suitable.
"Any team in any airport in the world, if you're going from the first entrance of the airport right the way through to the room where you have to pass every element in the airport, every restaurant, every bar in a busy period, of course there's always a risk.
"If there was an incident, it's certainly not something that we would want and not something that a team or anybody else should have to go through."
Griffiths missed the 0-0 first leg of the third qualifying tie through suspension and was an injury doubt for the return in Trondheim.
However, the Scotland international is expected to play some part in Norway and Rodgers remains confident his side can reach the play-off stage.
"The players who played last week were fantastic," he said. "The way in which we played, we lacked that wee bit of cutting edge at the top end of the field, but the mentality okay.
"If you can't score, you don't concede, knowing that we can come here and score goals.
"We kept a clean sheet and that going into the second leg is very important.
"I said before the game to the players, it won't be won last week. There's still another half to play in Rosenborg."
Rodgers played without a recognised striker at Celtic Park in the absence of Griffiths and the injured Moussa Dembele, but a 5-0 thumping of Sunderland in Saturday's friendly at the Stadium of Light showed they can find the net without them.
"We anticipated that the two games would be tough in their own right," he said. "We know, when we play our game, we can score the goals that we need to qualify, but we respect Rosenborg.
"They have good quality, they play with a good idea of football and they'll present a real tough opponent for us.
"The confidence my players would have gained from the group stage last season has really developed them as a team.
"Okay, physically we're a little bit behind maybe some of the opponents you play in qualification, but it's what you have to deal with and we have to find a way through."
Rosenborg coach Kare Ingebrigtsen thinks being midway through their domestic season gives his side an advantage and expects Celtic to tire on what could be a "long night".
He also believes that the expectation of repeating last season's progress to the group stage will put "big pressure" on the visitors.
Paramedics were called to Tony's Diner on the A458 in Halfway House at 16:40 BST on Monday.
The victim had suffered serious head and torso injuries, police said.
A 65-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The victim's next of kin has been informed and a post-mortem examination is to take place.

Hamilton fought back to close a seven-second margin after a spin at about one-third distance just as he appeared to be set to take the lead.
But Rosberg did just enough to hold him off in a tense final part of the race.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It reduces Hamilton's lead in the title race to 17 points, with 50 available in the final race in Abu Dhabi.
"I'm very happy with the whole weekend," said Rosberg. "I've been feeling comfortable in the car and controlled the gap to Lewis in the race."
Hamilton can win the title by finishing second to Rosberg in Abu Dhabi on 23 November, even though double points will be on offer.
But the Englishman may rue a half-spin on lap 28 which, as it turned out, decided the race in Brazil.
Rosberg had made his second pit stop on lap 26, with Hamilton less than two seconds behind him.
Hamilton stayed out. He set the fastest lap of the race to that point next time around, having set three sectors that were the fastest anyone had set up to that point.
The Mercedes engineers calculated that his first lap had not been enough to leapfrog him ahead and decided to keep him out for one more lap to give him extra time to build the advantage he needed.
But he dropped a wheel on to the white line on the entry to Turn Four, the Descido do Lago and ran wide into the run-off area, half-spinning.
Hamilton said: "Ultimately it cost me the win. I was a much quicker up to that point. I went a second quicker, thought I was going to pit on that lap, used all my tyres and on the next lap there was nothing left.
"I locked the rear and went wide. No-one's mistake but mine."
The incident cost Hamilton seven seconds, which he reduced to two over the course of their third stint.

Rosberg came in first for his final stop, on lap 50, with Hamilton making his a lap later, and their battle resumed with them half a second apart on lap 52, 19 from the finish.
Hamilton, clearly faster, stayed within a second of Rosberg for the remainder of the race but was never close enough to make a passing attempt.
Rosberg thus took his fifth win - his first since Germany back in July - while Hamilton has 10 victories.
Hamilton added: "Overall, I'm really happy. I came back, I clearly had a lot more pace than Nico, I closed down the seven seconds and I'm looking forward to the next race."
Williams's Felipe Massa took third, despite a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane and pulling into the McLaren pits by mistake at his final stop.
The two incidents cost him time but he was still comfortably able to hold off McLaren's Jenson Button.
The 2009 world champion's performance may well give McLaren pause for thought as they decide who to keep to partner Fernando Alonso, who will join the team next year. Button's team-mate Kevin Magnussen was a less convincing ninth after completing the first lap on Button's tail.

Button was initially disputing fourth place with Williams's Valtteri Bottas, but the Finn was taken out of contention by two slow pit stops.
In the first Bottas was delayed by an adjustment to his seat belts and in the second a front-wing adjustment was slower than normal. He ended up finishing 10th.
Alonso took sixth ahead of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who he had to pass in an entertaining battle in the closing laps after Raikkonen switched to a two-stop strategy. He was the only driver to make such an approach work.
Force India's Nico Hulkenberg was eighth, while Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, who was running behind Alonso, retired on lap 39 with a suspension failure.

The red phone, which has the Nazi leader's name engraved on it, was found in his Berlin bunker in 1945.
Soviet soldiers gave it to British Brg Sir Ralph Rayner as a souvenir shortly after Germany surrendered.
Auction house Alexander Historical Auctions says bidding in Chesapeake City, Maryland, will start at $100,000 (£80,567).
It hopes that the phone, which is being sold by Sir Ralph's son, can fetch as much as $300,000.
Auction house official Bill Panagopulos said the phone was a "weapon of mass destruction", as it was used by Hitler to give orders that took many lives during the war, the Associated Press reports.
Sadi Ahmed was held hostage for three months by an organ trafficking gang.
In October last year, he was one of 24 people rescued by police in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
They had been imprisoned in a building in an affluent suburb, awaiting the forced removal of their kidneys.
Three people are due in court later this month.
They deny all involvement in illegal transplants and trafficking.
Police say victims were lured to Rawalpindi in the hope of getting jobs.
They even were tricked into going to court, under the pretence of getting them documentation to work.
In fact, the gang was creating a paper trail to provide a cover story.
Their victims were held captive, for months in some cases.
Mr Ahmed told the BBC's File on 4 programme that he was taken to a commercial building, had his phone taken from him, and soon realised there was no job.
"There were 20 to 25 other persons sitting. I was told to shut up and be quiet and sit there.
"About 10 minutes later, the agent arrived and said get ready as I was going in for a test.
"I asked, 'What type of a test are you taking me for? What type of work are you offering?'."
The traffickers wanted to test his kidney, and told him he would be given the equivalent of £2,300 for the organ.
Mr Ahmed says he was "beaten up, not allowed to go out, we were padlocked in".
"We were threatened that the police would beat us up and we would be killed."
When police raided the building, Mr Ahmed was saved just in time.
He was due to have his kidney removed at a nearby hospital, called the Kidney Centre, a few hours later.
Though happy to be free, while he was held captive his wife and four children struggled to survive without him, and built up debts.
He said: "I had my own property, it was taken away due to the debts. We are penniless now. We have lost our home."
Police officer Yasir Mehmood says the victims were "very weak and very sad" when he and his colleagues found them, locked behind a grille.
Dr Mirza Naqi Zafar, general secretary of the Pakistan Transplantation Society, says despite a ban on commercial transplants in 2010, there has been a resurgence in the illegal trade in recent years, with as many as 100 illegal transplants happening every month.
He says many of the operations are linked to transplant tourism, with wealthy foreign patients travelling to Pakistan for treatment.
This is driven by a global shortage in organs for transplantation, which allows traffickers to fill the gap between demand and supply.
Dr Naqi Zafar says black market prices for procedures are in the range of $50,000 to $60,000 (£48,000) per patient.
If donors are paid, they receive only a tiny proportion of that.
Zafar Shahab, a man in his 50s, says he had a kidney removed without his consent at the hospital a year ago.
He was told he needed an operation for his own health problems, and "did not have the faintest idea" one of his kidneys would be removed.
When he returned home, his health deteriorated.
He says: "I am not working , I have no work. I cannot even lift 5kg (11lb), what work will I do?"
Dr Naqi Zafar is part of an informal intelligence gathering network of medics around the world, attempting to stem the illicit trade.
They received emails from the UK, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Canada, reporting that people of Pakistani origin had received transplants at the Kidney Centre and returned home with complications.
He says more needs to be done, calling for a proper system of investigation and intelligence, and that other countries could do more.
He says: "We need to talk to the countries where people are coming from, as to how they can help stop this organ trafficking".
The UK is signed up to the Council of Europe Convention Against Trafficking in Human Organs, and the Department of Health told us there were systems in place to prevent organ trafficking in the UK.
But NHS doctors have told us they had seen desperate patients go abroad to buy kidneys.
Data from NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) shows that Pakistan is the number one destination of choice for patients seeking a kidney overseas.
Overall, about 400 people have received follow-up treatment in the UK after having had transplants overseas, since the year 2000.
Medics say cases are likely to be under-reported, and the figures do not include those patients who do not come back, or do not survive the operation.
Vassilios Papalois is professor of transplantation surgery at Imperial College London.
He has seen several patients who have needed treatment after having transplants overseas.
One patient, a man in his 20s with a wife and young child, borrowed money on a credit card to pay for the operation in Pakistan.
The kidney failed and had to be removed, and he developed a serious infection.
He was given large quantities of the wrong antibiotics, leaving him deaf.
Prof Papalois says when the patient ran out of money, he was put on a plane and sent back to Heathrow.
He says the hospital had failed to treat the patient's sepsis, "simply because he didn't have enough money to pay them to do it".
Despite efforts to save him, the man died a few days later.
Doctors say cases such as this this are fuelled by the desperation of waiting for a transplant, and there can be particular problems for British Asian patients, who have a higher chance of developing kidney problems and face longer waits for transplants.
Patients from Black and minority ethnic groups make up a quarter of those on the transplant waiting list, and wait over six months longer for a transplant on average than white British patients.
NHS Blood and Transplant is trying to tackle the problem.
Last year saw the highest ever numbers of donations overall after death.
Four years ago, the Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020 strategy was launched.
It aims to bring the consent rate for organ donation after death to 80% by then.
It is currently at 62% overall, but for ethnic minorities the rate is half that.
However, Sally Johnson, NHSBT's director of organ donation and transplantation, says the number of people from minority communities receiving a transplant has increased.
In "2010-11 about 500 black and Asian people received transplants, last year that increased to 792, that's a big increase over the time period", she says.

Ordinarily in November, few sun loungers would be unoccupied under the umbrellas that line the shores of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Most would be filled with Russian and British holidaymakers escaping the cold weather at home.
But now most tourists have disappeared.
"The beach is empty. It was full until a few days ago but the Russians have all gone," says Richard Bourne from Wales, who is here sunbathing with his wife.
"I feel so sorry for the people," he goes on. "I don't know how the hotels will survive the coming weeks."
Not far away, the bars and clubs of Naama Bay pump out loud music to ever-diminishing numbers of customers. Souvenir sellers and diving tutors sit idle with worried expressions.
"There's no business," bemoans Raed, who runs a store selling Pharaonic knick-knacks - from plastic scarabs to papyrus scrolls - that are usually popular with European visitors.
The resort is increasingly deserted after the plane crash which led the UK, Russia and several other countries to suspend flights here.
All 224 people onboard a Russian charter jet were killed when it came down over the north of the rugged Sinai peninsula on 31 October.
Suspicions that a bomb could have been planted onboard have raised concerns about security at Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
In recent days, airlines have made special arrangements to fly out tens of thousands of passengers - without bringing in new arrivals.
"On a normal basis we would be 90% full right now, everyone would be working and everyone would be happy," says Amr Darwish, an owner of the Terrazzina beach club.
He worries he might have to lay off staff in the near future.
"We don't know when the tourists are going to be able to come back. You can't make a business plan for next week, let alone next month or next year," he adds.
According to the tourism ministry, Egypt stands to lose 2.2bn Egyptian pounds ($280m) a month after the cancellation of flights from Russia and Britain.
Two-thirds of tourists to Sharm el-Sheikh come from these two countries. The destination earns about a third of Egypt's total proceeds from tourism.
It was able to recover from previous shocks, including a series of deadly militant bombings along the Red Sea coast between 2004 and 2006 and a killer shark attack.
In the political turmoil since the 2011 uprising, which overthrew the long-time leader, President Hosni Mubarak, the resort has proven resilient compared to other popular attractions like the Giza Pyramids and Luxor.
Yet with the Egyptian economy still in a fragile state, the effects of the latest setback will be deeply felt.
Workers in Sharm el-Sheikh - from taxi drivers to hotel receptionists - come from across the country and send salaries home. Tourism is a vital source of foreign currency.
"This couldn't have come at a worst time," says Angus Blair of the Signet Institute, a Cairo-based economic think-tank.
"Egypt needs this [resort] economically in terms of employment and foreign exchange revenues.
"It will definitely damage sentiment and lead to problems at the central bank because clearly they're already under stress trying to access foreign currency for trade."
This week a senior Russian official warned it would take "several months, as a minimum" for Russian flights to Sharm el-Sheikh to resume as the investigation into what caused the crash continues.
He said it would be impossible to radically revise Egypt's security system quickly.
Concerns have been raised about baggage scanning procedures and searches at an entry gate for food and fuel for aircraft at Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
There are some hopes that in the short-term, Arab tourists and those from central Europe can be attracted to the resort in greater numbers.
However most business owners accept the reality is that they must brace themselves for another tough period ahead.
"It will take us time to recover but a place like this never dies," says Mr Darwish. "It's a nice resort with great weather. We have the sea, the corals, the desert. It's magical."
The Bournes, visiting from Wales, also believe in the enduring appeal of Sharm el-Sheikh - even though their holiday has been overshadowed by the plane crash which happened a day after they arrived. Their return home has been delayed by at least a day.
"This could happen anywhere, couldn't it?" Jenny Bourne comments stoically.
"I would come back again next year," her husband, Richard, says. "They just need to sort that airport out."
Egypt is counting on other tourists adopting a similar attitude.
Police say "extensive investigations" led them to conclude 350 people should have been in the Kensington tower block on the night of the blaze on 14 June.
That night, 14 residents were not in the building, leaving at least 80 people dead or missing, the Met said.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Chalmers, leading the Met's operation, described the task as "unprecedented".
In the update to its operation, which includes a criminal investigation into why the fire began, police said the coroner had formally identified 32 bodies.
"You can't listen to the families and to the 999 calls and not want to hold people to account for a fire that should not have happened," said Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy.
Speaking after the briefing, Cdr Cundy denied claims from former residents and politicians that the number killed in the tragedy could be far higher than 80.
"We've been working tirelessly to ascertain how many people died in the fire," he said, describing the night as one where "the lives of so many changed forever".
Labour MP David Lammy told BBC's Newsnight in June that he was "sympathetic" to the view that the number of dead was being covered up.
Scotland Yard believes around 10 people managed to escape the tower "but for a number of different reasons" were not willing to come forward.
The government has promised not to conduct immigration checks on survivors and those coming forward with information in a bid to aid the investigation.
It has also said tenants illegally subletting flats in the tower would not face charges.
Cdr Cundy said the Met's investigations would "not be hampered in any way" by a separate judge-led public inquiry into the blaze.
"We are absolutely determined to do everything new can to identify what offences have been committed," he said.
"We will seize information for wherever it comes from."
Detectives said they were looking at "every aspect of fire safety" at Grenfell - including fire doors, exit routes and emergency procedures.
So far, 140 witnesses have been spoken to, with plans to interview the 650 firefighters and 300 police officers involved in the rescue operation, and all residents.
The retired judge leading the public inquiry, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, said it would seek to discover the truth about what happened at Grenfell Tower, "so that we can learn lessons for the future".
Sir Martin recently held a meeting with residents also attended by the Met. The first public hearings are expected to be held in September.
By Tom Symonds, BBC home affairs correspondent:
Since the fire, the claim that 150 or more people lost their lives has persisted.
After all, there is no official register of those living in the tower and a list provided by Kensington and Chelsea Council has proved to be inaccurate.
As a result, it was crucial that police worked out how many people should have been in the tower that night.
Their estimate of 350 is far fewer than the 500 to 600 people claimed by some. And 14 people, police say, were out for the night.
Police also say that many of the flats were not family-sized, but one or two-bed properties, which may explain the belief that more people were living there.
It has also been said that sub-letting may have resulted in the tower having a "hidden" population. Police have identified 10 people who didn't want to come forward to confirm they had survived.
The police have repeatedly explained their methodology, which has not been challenged.
Unless major flaws are found in the way detectives have attempted to get the truth, its likely the final number of dead at Grenfell Tower will be around 80.
Cdr Cundy said the Grenfell investigation was "probably one of the biggest investigations the Metropolitan Police has conducted outside of a terror attack".
There are 250 specialist investigators working on the Met's operation, including the process of identifying those who died, and finding out how the fire started.
Scotland Yard said forensic pathologists were sieving through debris in the building to look for human remains.
"Phase one" of the operation - removing identifiable bodies - has now been completed.
All remains have been scanned for objects which may be used to identify victims, such as surgical implants, personal jewellery, glasses and teeth.
Cdr Cundy said officers involved "can't help but have an emotional attachment to this case".
The police investigation into the causes of the fire is also continuing, including an examination of "all criminal offences that may have been committed".
Olive Cooke, 92, joined the Royal British Legion when she was 16 and still sells poppies from the cathedral ahead of every remembrance week.
Mrs Cooke, of Fishponds, will receive the honour from Bristol's Lord Mayor, Councillor Alistair Watson.
She is thought to be one of the UK's longest-serving poppy sellers.
The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, Sarah Watson, have invited Mrs Cooke for afternoon tea at the Mansion House where she will be presented with her medal.
The honour recognises people in Bristol whose voluntary and community work or charitable acts serve the city.
Mrs Cooke has already received a Points of Light award from the prime minister and a Gold Star award from the Bristol Post in recognition of her tireless efforts.
She was originally inspired by her father who helped to set up the Bedminster branch of the Royal British Legion.
Her first husband Leslie Hussey-Yeo was a sailor in the Royal Navy who had just returned from two-and-a-half years in Hong Kong when they met.
He was planning to leave the service and settle down but the outbreak of World War Two meant he had to continue serving on the submarines.
Mrs Cooke became a war widow at the age of 21 when he was killed during the Sicily invasion in March 1943.
His death led Mrs Cooke to fully commit herself to the Royal British Legion.
The South Island has seen hundreds of tremors, including a 6.3-magnitude quake, after the initial one struck after midnight on Monday.
The epicentre is northeast of Christchurch, near the town of Kaikoura which has been cut off by landslides.
There are believed to be up to 1,000 tourists stranded in the town.
Military helicopters and a navy ship are being sent to evacuate them and others from Kaikoura.
Cricket test set to go ahead in Christchurch
The aftershocks have left some communities without power and water, although authorities are slowly restoring supplies.
Prime Minister John Key described the scene in Kaikoura as "utter devastation" while flying over the area. He said the damage bill will likely be in the "billions of dollars", according to a statement seen by Reuters.
GeoNet, a government-funded project monitoring earthquakes, said the first earthquake was actually two related tremors, and that aftershocks would continue over the next few months.
As the aftershocks keep coming, Kiwis up and down the country are sharing the same emotions.
Exhaustion from a sleepless night, concern for those still cut off from communication, and sadness for the two people who lost their lives. But there is also real relief.
This earthquake was greater in magnitude than 2011's Christchurch tremor, but it didn't bring the same level of devastation.
The cost of rebuilding will be huge - major parts of New Zealand's infrastructure have been twisted and snapped out of shape.
But as is often the case when disaster strikes, New Zealand's people have pulled together, checked on their neighbours and offered each other a safe haven.
Authorities spent all of Monday rescuing and evacuating residents along the east coast.
New Zealand media reported that a 100-year-old woman and her daughter-in-law were pulled out alive from their home in Kaikoura, after the house collapsed in the first earthquake. The younger woman's husband died.
A woman also died at Mount Lyford, southwest of Kaikoura, though there are reports she may have died from an existing medical condition.
Waves of around 2m (6.6ft) hit the coast shortly after the first earthquake. Authorities have since lifted a tsunami alert, but are still warning people to stay away from the shoreline.
Residents in Christchurch and surrounding towns have rushed to stock up on basic supplies. Some schools in the affected area have remained closed on Monday.
Kaikoura, a popular tourist destination with a population of about 3,600, saw its main road blocked by landslides, with telecommunications, water and power supplies cut off.
The operation to rescue those that remain stuck there could take several days, with each NH90 helicopter being deployed only able to carry 18 people at a time, Air Commodore Darryn Webb told the Associated Press news agency.
Video footage shot from a helicopter showed three cows left stranded on a tiny island of grass after the surrounding earth collapsed from landslides near Kaikoura.
Mr Key, the prime minister, told reporters that he believed the number of fatalities would remain low, while civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee said damage to infrastructure appeared to be the biggest problem.
One expert told TVNZ that the low number of fatalities may have been due to the fact that the first quake struck in the middle of the night.
"People were safe in their homes, homes might get damaged but they're safer for the people inside," said Ken Elwood from the University of Auckland.
The quake also caused damage in Wellington on the North Island, where the city's central business district (CBD) remained quiet on Monday as workers cleared debris and checked buildings.
Resident Adam Roland told the BBC: "The CBD's been closed off so most people are either working from home or not working today."
GeoNet said the first quake was the strongest to have hit New Zealand since a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2009 in a remote area of the South Island.
The US Geological Survey measured it at magnitude 7.8, while GeoNet put it at 7.5.
New Zealand lies on the Ring of Fire, the fault line that circles virtually the entire Pacific Rim bringing frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions.
Christchurch is still recovering from a 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre.
The rate of unemployment remained at 5.1%, maintaining a decade-low rate.
Some 31.42 million are in work, 478,000 up on a year ago. The employment rate is 74.1%, the joint highest since current records began in 1971.
Average earnings went up by 2.1% in the year to January including bonuses, 0.2% higher than the previous month.
Excluding bonuses, the increase was 2.2%.
"With the Chancellor [George Osborne] setting the backdrop to this afternoon's Budget as one where the global 'storm clouds' are gathering, today's labour market figures offer a ray of sunshine," said Scott Bowman, UK economist at Capital Economics.
He added that the UK's jobs recovery remained "in full swing", but cautioned that wage growth was "still fairly subdued by past standards, especially considering how much the labour market has tightened recently".
The East of England saw the biggest fall in the number of unemployed people, down by 15,000, followed by the North East of England, down by 11,000. However, Scotland saw an increase of 16,000 in the number of jobless people.
The North East still has the highest rate of unemployment, at 7.8%, and the East of England has the lowest, at 3.6%.
In all, 22.94 million people were working full-time, 302,000 more than a year earlier, while 8.48 million were working part-time, an increase of 177,000 on a year earlier.
The number of people on the claimant count in February fell by 18,000 to 716,700, said the ONS.
The unemployment figures are based on a large survey, so they are estimates rather than precise figures.
For example, the figure of a 28,000 fall in unemployment has a margin of error of plus or minus 79,000, which means the ONS is 95% confident that the actual change in unemployment is between an increase of 51,000 and a fall of 107,000.
Earlier this month, the US Labor Department said the US economy added 242,000 jobs in February, far better than the 190,000 expected by economists.
The US unemployment rate remains at 4.9%, an eight-year low.
Eurostat, the EU's statistical agency, has said the eurozone's unemployment rate in January fell to its lowest rate since August 2011.
The jobless rate in the 19-country eurozone declined to 10.3% in January from 10.4% in December, while the number of people unemployed in the eurozone fell by 105,000 to 16.65 million.
The tourism agency said many events sold out as the spotlight shone on the country.
Events such as the Commonwealth Games, Ryder Cup and the 700th anniversary of the battle of Bannockburn helped bring tourists from across the world.
There were 1,049 events in 2014, more than twice as many as in 2009.
New events included the European Festival of Brass, the MTV European Music Awards, McLaren 2014 and Pipefest.
Existing events were also able to extend their programmes as a result of additional Homecoming funding including Borders Book Festival, Big Burns Supper in Dumfries and Doors Open Days.
The 2009 Year of Homecoming was mired in controversy after economic impact figures were exaggerated and the flagship Gathering event went bust.
It will be several months before the economic impact figures for Homecoming Scotland 2014 are published to establish if the £5.5m public funding was a worthwhile investment.
Chairman of VisitScotland, Mike Cantlay, said: "There really was no place like home for the people of Scotland during 2014.
"We welcomed the world in their millions and boy did we have fun doing it. We opened our arms and laughed and cheered with our guests.
"We gave them directions, provided sunscreen and sometimes the odd umbrella. We didn't just show them a good time - we joined in."
Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing said: "Homecoming has been a huge success, bringing millions together in a joint celebration of all that is great about our country and showcasing all of our unique attractions and icons to a massive worldwide audience.
"The eyes of the world have been on Scotland like never before in 2014 and working together we will benefit from these experiences as we begin the Year of Food and Drink in 2015 and beyond."
The Chiefs vice-captain becomes the fourth All Black to win the prize.
Retallick, 23, beat team-mate Julian Savea, Ireland's Jonathan Sexton, and South Africa pair Willie le Roux and Duane Vermeulen to the award.
It seals a hat-trick of honours for New Zealand, who were named team of the year, with Steve Hansen named coach of the year.
The second row follows in the footsteps of team mates Kieran Read, Dan Carter and Richie McCaw in receiving the honour.
World Rugby chairman Bernard Lapasset said: "Brodie Retallick has been at the heart of another hugely successful year for the All Blacks with his superb line-out skills, ball carrying ability and work at the breakdown playing a huge role in a June series win against England, the Rugby Championship title and a strong November series."
The engineering giant said 187 posts would be lost from its Inchinnan plant in Renfrewshire and a further 31 jobs from its facility in East Kilbride.
The cuts are the latest in a wave of redundancies at Rolls-Royce plants in Scotland, as part of restructuring.
In November, Rolls-Royce said it planned to shed 2,600 jobs worldwide over a period of 18 months.
Staff were informed of the latest planned job losses on Thursday.
Rolls-Royce currently employs about 700 people at its Inchinnan manufacturing facility and about 630 at East Kilbride.
The company has already announced plans to transfer East Kilbride employees to Inchinnan by the end of 2015.
A Rolls-Royce spokeswoman said: "In November last year we announced a restructuring of our Aerospace division as part of an intensified programme to improve operational efficiency and reduce cost across the group.
"As part of that process we continually review current workload and assess future customer demand to remain competitive.
"We have identified a requirement to reduce the headcount at our Inchinnan manufacturing facilities by approximately 90 during 2015 and 97 during 2016.
"We have also identified a requirement to reduce the headcount at our East Kilbride facility by 31 during 2015.
She added: "It is never an easy decision to propose reductions in our workforce and we will look to meet this requirement by voluntary means wherever possible.
"We will also explore all mitigation including redeployment to other sites and are offering full support to employees who are impacted by the changes."
Satoru Umeta, 24, was convicted of assaulting Rina Kawaei and Anna Iriyama, now both 19, along with a male staff member.
All three were seriously injured after Umeta lunged forward to slash them with a saw fitted with box cutter blades.
AKB48 holds the Guinness Record for being the world's largest pop group.
"The fear the victims had during the event, where they were meeting with fans, and the mental damage were significant," judge Takehiko Okada said, according to AFP news agency.
Umeta's lawyers said their client had shown signs of schizophrenia, AFP reported. Judge Okada said Umeta was frustrated over his unemployment, Kyodo news agency said.
The number 48 in AKB48 reportedly refers to the original number of singers in the group, although it has since expanded and now numbers about 140 rotating members, ranging from their teens to early 20s.
The group, which was founded in 2005, is hugely popular in Japan and other Asian countries.
AKB stands for Akihabara, the technology district of Tokyo, where the group has its own theatre. Members perform there almost every day.
Every year tens of thousands of fans vote on who gets to join the group from a pool of more than 200 candidates, in an event that is widely covered by national media.
Members have to abide by strict rules set by their management, and are not allowed to date.
When one of its members, Minami Minegishi, was caught spending the night with her boyfriend, she shaved her head in an act of contrition and apologised to fans in an online video.
"When I came here as a student nine years ago I felt that I had come into a very multicultural society and really wanted to be part of it.
"I miss the food in Morocco and being around people who have known me my whole life, but London is my home now. My closest friends from university and from Morocco live here now, my values align more with London and I love being in a very multicultural environment where you get to meet people from all ends of the world."
"Although I left Ireland 57 years ago, I still regard this country as my home. My family has moved back and I miss them. They're part of my identity.
"Family is my community and has structured who I am."
"It's interesting the opportunity that moving home has given me to start over and edit my story and identity in fresh and exciting ways.
"I have moved about four or five times in my life; I've lived in countries in Africa, Asia and now, Europe. Flowers at my bedside, warmth, the smell of garlic and a sense of familiarity and light jazz music - that is home. A place of comfort, safety and beauty and a non-judgemental space where you can stare at the ceiling and know it's OK."
"What makes me feel comfortable here is that I can sleep in peace. I can walk alone at night with my handbag. There is no dust, no insects. Food, shelter and security are abundant."
"Getting to know a new place, learning a new language, landing a job, making new friends… these are processes that everyone goes through. It's just a matter of time before you start feeling at home."
"My father sought asylum in the UK after the Iranian revolution. This country welcomed him with open arms. Community here is about listening to each other's stories and treating each other with compassion and respect. I hope you find the same things here when you arrive."
"I love the diversity in London. When I'm on the bus - hearing different languages, seeing different faces - that richness is one of the things I find most beautiful about London.
"Welcome to the UK. I hope you find friends, safety, a community for yourself and become part of this tapestry of London life."
"My move to the UK from a village in Pakistan was a huge culture shock. My teacher was very helpful. She became another mother to me and encouraged me to work hard. I didn't even know how to write an essay, yet she gave me the courage to achieve. She made me realise that anything is possible.
"We who come from a Third World country often feel like we can't compete but we have all the abilities to accomplish our dreams."
"Moving from Turkey at a young age, I was excited to experience England. This ability here to experience two different cultures and feel safe in both - has made me feel like a global citizen.
"As an academic I am connected to friends and colleagues from all over the world and being part of this one global community is an honour and a privilege. I hope one day everyone can have this feeling of inclusion and belonging."
"We met when we were doing our master's degrees and are still friends. Don't believe the media narrative about people's perceptions of refugees and migrants. The average person on the street is friendly and accepting, and the UK is a very diverse place.
"Most people here are open and interested in who you are. Be yourself and, if you feel like it, share your stories."
"My grandfather came here just after World War Two, invited by Her Majesty to come and rebuild the country. He is now 90 years old, has five children, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
"When he arrived he worked in a factory making nuts and bolts to rebuild the East End. He realised that the food he was used to from India was not available, so he decided to do something about it and opened a shop to sell homemade food. The best thing you can do is to bring your food and recipes here. The UK loves food. We want to welcome you with food. Let's share some recipes."
"There is no one way to be a part of British society. The people here have so much heart and joy and wonder. People here will help connect you to the community. Being in Britain doesn't mean telling each other how to be, but sharing who you are with others.
"With shared experiences, we avoid misunderstandings and judgement, and we build a community together."
Karen Bradley's decision is a blow to the media mogul's hopes of having the £11.7bn deal waved through without further scrutiny.
Mr Murdoch already owns 39% of the satellite broadcaster.
An earlier attempt to take over Sky was abandoned in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.
Ms Bradley told the Commons that Ofcom's report into the deal found it risked the Murdoch family having "increased influence" over the UK's news agenda and the political process.
"On the basis of Ofcom's assessment, I confirm that I am minded to refer to a phase two investigation on the grounds of media plurality," she said.
The parties involved can make representations to the culture secretary until Friday 14 July, when she will make a further decision about referring the deal to the Competition and Markets Authority.
Ofcom said it had no concerns about Fox's genuine commitment to broadcasting standards, which Ms Bradley said was a second test for approving the deal.
As a result she told MPs she was "minded not to refer" the bid for a phase two investigation in relation to those concerns.
"While there are strong feelings among both supporters and opponents of this merger, in this quasi-judicial process, my decisions can only be influenced by facts, not opinions - and by the quality of evidence, not who shouts the loudest," she said.
Tom Watson, the shadow culture secretary, told the Commons that "nothing about this decision is a surprise" as he predicted the government would eventually allow the merger to go ahead.
He said if James Murdoch, who is both chairman of Sky and chief executive of Fox, could pass a "fit and proper" test, "then that says more about the rules than it does about Mr Murdoch".
"It's clear that the rules need to be reviewed and if the current Conservative government won't do that then the next Labour government will."
Mr Watson said undertakings from the Murdoch family were "not worth the newsprint they are written on" as he warned that lessons had not been learned from the phone-hacking scandal.
He also accused the Conservatives of forming "an implicit bargain" with the Murdochs as he pushed Ms Bradley to order part two of the Leveson Inquiry into phone-hacking.
The culture secretary claimed Mr Watson was making a "cynical" attempt to politicise the issue and to prejudge the decision.
Evan Harris, executive director of the lobby group Hacked Off, said it condemned Ms Bradley's failure to refer the bid on commitment to broadcasting standards grounds.
"The Secretary of State must now begin Leveson part two immediately, and allow that inquiry to report before considering this merger further," he said.
The deal was approved by European Commission competition authorities in April.
Shares in Sky closed 3.3% higher at 988p, valuing the company at almost £17bn.
Analysts at Citi said it was possible Fox could find a resolution to Ofcom's concerns before the 14 July deadline and avoid a lengthy inquiry.
"Ultimately this is a positive outcome for the Fox/Sky in the sense that it makes deal completion more likely," they said.
"Concerns about broadcasting standards would have been almost impossible to work around, while we believe the groups will be able to offer concessions that adequately address concerns about plurality."
The 18-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at Tannadice, having scored 13 goals in 59 appearances for the League Two side.
"He has versatility but it's his attacking threat which really caught my eye," said manager Jackie McNamara.
"Having watched his progress closely I'm convinced that he'll prove to be an excellent signing and entertain the United fans greatly."
United signed full-back Andy Robertson and forward Aidan Connolly from Queen's Park last summer, with the defender going on to win the SPFA young player of the year award and two caps for Scotland.
"It's of paramount importance that we continue to develop the younger players at Tannadice but we must also supplement that with other promising talent that becomes available," McNamara added on the club website.
"There were other clubs interested in Blair and it says everything about how we're developing players at Tannadice that he chose us as the best option for himself."
City rivals Dundee had also agreed terms with Spittal but the teenager opted for the side that finished fourth in the Premiership last season.
"Seeing how well Andy Robertson has progressed also played a part in my decision," he said.
"Dundee United allows you to develop regardless of age and the manager's vision for the club excites me. When I look at the talent already in the dressing room I cannot wait to meet up with them and start my Dundee United career."
World number 11 Dimitrov, 26, broke once in each set to beat his 22-year-old opponent, ranked 23rd, 6-4 7-5.
Kyrgios, also attempting to win his first Masters 1000 title, hit 31 unforced errors as he was outplayed.
In the women's final, Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza thrashed Romania's Simona Halep 6-1 6-0.
Kyrgios was the youngest Cincinnati finalist since Novak Djokovic in 2009.
But he could not reproduce the brilliance he displayed in beating world number two Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals.
And, with the second set poised at 5-5, the Australian hit his fourth double fault of the match on deuce, before sending a wild forehand over the baseline.
Dimitrov served out the final game to clinch the biggest win of his career as he prepares for the US Open, which starts on 28 August.
"In the big picture, it means a lot to me," said Dimitrov, who went through the tournament without dropping a set. "I'm pretty confident after that. This is what I've been practising for.
"I'm going to enjoy it for a day or two but then it's back to the routine and prepare for the US Open."
Earlier in the day, Spain's Muguruza put in an emphatic performance to see off world number two Halep.
Had she won, Halep would have replaced Karolina Pliskova at the top of the world rankings - but the 25-year-old was beaten in just 57 minutes.
After beating Britain's Johanna Konta in the quarter-final, Halep hit 20 unforced errors and struggled to find any rhythm.
Czech Pliskova, a semi-final loser to Muguruza, will remain world number one by a five-point margin over Halep as Muguruza moves up to third.
"I played so badly and she played so well. I am sorry for this match," Halep said.
"I got dominated. I couldn't control the points, that's why I got down in my confidence."
Muguruza said she felt "a little bit bad" for Halep but was "happy" to now be seen as the favourite for the US Open title.
She added: "It doesn't always happen that you win a tournament and then go ahead and win a Grand Slam, but I'm happy to have the confidence - it beats not having it."
Meanwhile, Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares lost their men's doubles final to French fifth seeds Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
Murray and Soares were beaten 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 in one hour and 37 minutes.
The third seeds, who lost in the second round at Wimbledon, had not dropped a set leading up to the final in Cincinnati.
Take-Two claimed the Open IV program that let people change, or mod, the game's basic elements aided cheats.
In response, players wrote thousands of negative reviews of the game and more than 77,000 signed a petition calling for Open IV to be left alone.
GTA creator Rockstar also put pressure on Take-Two to change its mind.
In a message placed on the GTA V chat forums, Rockstar said "discussions" with Take-Two had led to it ending the legal action.
The row blew up last week when the lead developer of Open IV said the mod kit was being withdrawn because it had been threatened with legal action by Take-Two.
At the same time, Take-Two took action that led to the closure of three sites that advertised themselves as a way for people to cheat when playing online versions of the game.
These extras let people get huge amounts of in-game cash and easily obtain items that otherwise took hours of playing to acquire.
Users of Open IV said Take-Two was wrong to regard the mod kit as a cheating tool because it was designed to work with only single-player versions of GTA.
In its forum message, Rockstar acknowledged this distinction and said its discussions with Take-Two had meant that the publisher had now "agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar's PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties".
Rockstar said it believed in "reasonable fan creativity" that let fans show their "passion" for its games.
Take-Two's decision was also influenced by Open IV's creators promising to work harder to stop the kit being used by people to cheat in online versions of GTA.
A small number of people had found a way to use Open IV to cheat in this way, lead developer Yuriy Krivoruchko told news site Motherboard.
The ending of the legal action was "good news", wrote Samuel Horti on the Rock, Paper Shotgun website.
"It's helped players produce some cracking mods and machinima [animation]," he said.
Horti added that the Rockstar statement was "carefully worded", perhaps so it could be reversed later on.
It might need to be, he said, because Take-Two and Rockstar faced a technical challenge when it came to policing add-ons for the game.
"How do Take-Two intend to allow single-player mods without leaving the door open to cheaters?" he asked.
The semi-professionals won 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier in Gibraltar last Tuesday.
"It was a bolt of lightning rather than a massive shock to the world," Rodgers said before Wednesday's return at home.
"Since I came in, the players have been brilliant, first-class, very humble guys, no ego, they're working hard."
Celtic have won three and drawn two pre-season friendlies since Rodgers' appointment in May, and he said defeat in his first competitive game last week was "no embarrassment".
Rodgers is confident the Scottish champions will prevail over two legs to play the winners of the tie between Zalgiris Vilnius of Lithuania and Astana of Kazakhstan in the third qualifying round.
"I don't take much notice," he said of the negative headlines. "My only focus is the players. It's not a disaster.
"For me, the most important thing is to get through. That's what we expect and want. It's about perspective and assessing over two games."
Rodgers expects the champions of Gibraltar to set up defensively and play on the break on Wednesday, and has urged Celtic's fans to be patient.
"The message for our players is similar to our supporters: after the first 20 minutes, if we don't score, we have to be patient.
"You can be an attacking team, but there are times when the ball can't go forward and it has to be circulated, but our team will be set up always to create and score goals.
"It might be 70 minutes before you break a team down. They will be similar to the first game, 11 players behind the ball, playing on the counter-attack, us having a lot of possession. But it will be a totally different game.
"The players did everything they could [last week] and we got done by one sucker punch. But I've been happy with the players in every game."
The Celtic manager is keen to add to his squad, but would not confirm or deny links to Liverpool full-back Jon Flanagan and Blackburn centre-back Shane Duffy.
He does not expect any new signings to be completed before Wednesday's game, though.
Before the first leg, Rodgers highlighted Celtic's lack of cover in central defence, with Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic missing through injury.
Former Start midfielder Kristoffer Ajer, who agreed to sign under previous manager Ronny Deila, has been used in central defence during pre-season friendlies.
"We experiment on the training field and in friendlies, but not tomorrow night. That's about getting the job done," said Rodgers, whose only senior signing to date has been striker Moussa Dembele from Fulham.
"We've already got some quality players here, but we want to bring in the right type of players to help the team. It's not about numbers but quality," he added.
"The market is pretty slow, but there's management of the squad here - you can't just stockpile players.
"There are a couple of players that we're looking at. We'll see how that develops over the coming days. We only want good players and that will always be dictated by the availability and the affordability of the player."
Dembele took over the centre-forward's role last week from Leigh Griffiths, who scored 40 times for Celtic last season.
The Scotland forward says he would prefer to play through the middle, but is happy to contribute to the team from a wider attacking role, and share the burden of providing the goals.
"I played [wide] a couple of times in pre-season and I enjoyed it," Griffiths said. "With Moussa up there, it gives me a bit more freedom to express myself and get on the ball to make things happen.
"Ultimately, I'm still a striker at heart, I'm not a winger, and he knows that. But the gaffer has his ideas, his tactics, and I can adapt to the formation he wants to play.
"The manager spoke before that with Moussa occupying a couple of centre-halves, that gives me more time to get on the ball and try to thread passes through, and make the runs in behind that I like doing.
"The gaffer said the focus on me last season to score goals was too much, but he's brought in Moussa now and once he gets one, he'll get a few."
Airbus UK Broughton suspended Ryan Wade over comments on his Twitter account.
Former Sunderland player Johnson, 28, admitted grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15 and was convicted of a charge of sexual touching.
Airbus said midfielder Wade, 28, had been "suspended with immediate effect pending further investigation".
The Twitter comments were made on Thursday, the day after Johnson was convicted at Bradford Crown Court.
Gwyn Derfel, secretary of the Welsh Premier League (WPL), said: "The Dafabet Welsh Premier League is aware of the alleged comments and the FAW's (Football Association of Wales) compliance department is looking into the matter."
The club, based in Broughton, Flintshire, said in a statement it did not "condone or support the comments".
It is understood the WPL is trying to gather evidence of the tweets.
The FAW has disciplinary powers and at the start of every season every player is sent a code of conduct on behaviour, which includes activity on social media.
Wade signed for Airbus almost four years ago and has made 28 appearances this season, scoring four times.
Everyone who attended that concert has been invited to apply for free tickets to the event on Sunday 4 June, which will include acts such as Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Little Mix and Black Eyed Peas.
Some of the concert-goers have been in touch with the BBC to share their experiences.
Joe Woolrich is looking forward to the gig, which he says will be a form of closure for him.
"It was a traumatic time for everybody involved. We were near to the explosion when it happened. My friend ran into the toilet to inform me. At first I thought it was another encore when I heard the loud boom and the screams.
"We ran from the explosion area to the other exit where there were wheelchairs at the top of the stairs and no way out. So we carried on down, and stuck around to try to help outside the arena before the emergency services arrived.
"It was absolute chaos, but everybody did what they could to help.
"The fact that Ariana is coming back so soon, has helped to reassure me we are stronger together.
"She is doing the victims, fans and the city of Manchester a great service."
Rachel Whorton's two daughters aged 10 and 18, want to attend but have so far been disappointed.
"They were at the original concert at Manchester Arena so they qualify for free tickets for the benefit concert.
"I have been on the phone to Ticketmaster since 9am this morning trying to get tickets. I didn't think they would want to go but they do and I think it will be good for them.
"I'm frustrated. All you hear is a a long automated message, and are then told that Ticketmaster is busy helping other customers before getting cut off.
"I don't understand why this process is so difficult. Surely they have records of who bought original tickets. I have even tried to contact them on social media without success."

Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there was still a gap "between what could be done and what some of us had expected should be done".
Nonetheless, he said they were "very close" to an agreement.
Informal talks are expected to continue ahead of the group's 15 June meeting.
The Brussels-based meeting was aimed at deciding whether Greece had done enough to receive a €7.5bn (£6.4bn; $8.3bn) loan plus debt relief.
The cash is vital for Greece to avoid defaulting on a debt repayment due in July.
To secure the funds, the country has had to enact a series of economic reforms.
The International Monetary Fund and Germany are reported to have disagreed over how to help ease the country's debts once its rescue programme ends next year.
The IMF's participation in Greece's latest bailout hinges on resolving this issue.
"The feeling was.... more work was needed to be able to have that kind of clarity that the financial markets understood and the Greek people understood (of) what to expect at the end of the programme period in terms of debt relief," Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said.
However, he also said he was optimistic that a definitive deal could be brokered by the time of the next formal meeting in June.
Figures released earlier this month showed that Greece had fallen back into recession for the first time since 2012.
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.1% in the first three months of the year after shrinking by 1.2% in the final quarter of 2016, the Eurostat figures showed.
Cardiff's defeat leaves Belfast five points off the pace with both teams having four games left.
The Giants twice face Cardiff on the final weekend of the season so if the Devils lose one of their other games, it could open the door to Belfast.
David Rutherford's hat-trick helped the Giants earn Sunday's win.
Colin Shields and Blair Riley also found the net for the home side, who trailed 1-0 after the first period.
Jeff Brown and Dan Spang netted for the Panthers, who were beaten 7-3 by the Giants on Friday night.
Brown scored the opener, but strikes from Rutherford and Shields saw the hosts take charge by the end of the second period.
Rutherford and Riley then netted, Spang got his name on the scoresheet, before Rutherford completed his treble.
The Giants are next in action on Friday night when they play Sheffield Steelers at the SSE Arena before hosting Coventry 24 hours later.
Cardiff face Fife away and still-in-contention Sheffield at home in their next two games before the back-to-back games against the Giants.
Firearms officer Carol Howard, 35, was "singled out and targeted" for nearly a year, a panel ruled last year. She has now decided to leave the police.
The Met said it "deeply regrets" the impact of the discrimination.
Ms Howard, of Purley, south London, brought a claim of discrimination at the Central London Employment Tribunal in 2014.
Her lawyer Kiran Daurka, of Slater and Gordon, said: "Carol is sad to leave the Metropolitan Police but her legacy to fellow officers is that her case has now led to a serious and thorough review of the way in which the MPS deals with discrimination complaints from officers."
In a statement, the Met said it "deeply regrets the impact the discriminatory conduct had on PC Howard, and wants to stress there is no room in the MPS for racism and sexism or victimisation".
The Met said it had agreed a final settlement against the officer's existing legal claims.
The force added that in September 2014 it said it would fully support Ms Howard's return to work, but after recent discussions it became clear she did not wish to continue her career with the Met.
The Met said: "The MPS respects PC Howard's decision and wishes her well in the future."
During the hearing last year, the panel was told that an internal report had been deliberately rewritten ahead of the tribunal.
An officer was asked to delete references in the report into discrimination related to race or sex, the panel said.
A judgement issued by the panel which heard the case said the Met "directly discriminated" against Ms Howard "on the grounds of sex and race" between 31 January and 29 October 2012.
A number of Ms Howard's complaints of "victimisation" were "well-founded", the tribunal added.
The 35-year-old had worked in the Diplomatic Protection Group (DPG), which provides protection for foreign embassies and missions in London.
Her superior, acting Insp Dave Kelly, subjected her to "a course of conduct which was detrimental to her", the panel said.
The panel also found that the Met also tried to "deflect" negative press by releasing information about Ms Howard.
While the force did not name PC Howard in a press statement, a draft version was altered to include more detail about her three arrests linked to a domestic dispute with her estranged husband.
After the tribunal last September Ms Howard received £37,000.
France has an estimated 500,000 Jews - the largest Jewish minority in Western Europe - and many of them are wondering now how safe it is to stay.
Four Jewish men were killed by Islamist gunman Amedy Coulibaly in a kosher supermarket in Paris on 9 January, two days after 12 people were shot dead at Charlie Hebdo magazine by two Islamist brothers.
Now troops have joined police protecting potential Jewish targets - notably synagogues and schools - in Paris, Brussels and Antwerp.
"It's the worst time for Jews here since World War Two," said Robert Ejnes, director of the Jewish umbrella organisation Crif in France. "They are angry and worried."
Last year more than 7,000 left to settle in Israel (what Jews call "Aliyah") - double the 2013 figure, he noted. That does not include French Jews who moved to the UK, US or other countries.
In contrast, the number of British Jews making Aliyah is a few hundred annually, and remains fairly stable.
Mr Ejnes said there was an "anti-Semitic" element to the anti-Israel protests in and around Paris last July, when Jewish shops were attacked near a synagogue in Sarcelles.
Many Muslims were enraged by Israel's bombardment of Gaza - an offensive against Hamas militants, which killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, including many women and children, while 72 Israelis also died.
Mr Ejnes told the BBC that some demonstrators were "against the very existence of Israel" - a degree of hostility going beyond any legitimate criticism of Israeli policy.
"We have very good relations with moderate Islam - but a problem with radicalisation of the [Muslim] youth," he said.
What is anti-Semitism?
The EU has a "working definition" of anti-Semitism to help authorities in member states, though it does not have legal force. It says anti-Semitism is a "certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews". It can be verbal or physical, or both, and targets Jewish individuals, or their property, or community institutions or religious facilities.
Most Jews surveyed by the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) regarded the following attitudes as anti-Semitic: "The Holocaust is a myth or has been exaggerated"; "Jews are responsible for the current economic crisis"; "Jews exploit Holocaust victimhood for their own purposes"; "Jews have too much power"; "Israelis behave like Nazis towards the Palestinians"; "Jews are not capable of integrating into society".
Anti-Semitism is also covered by the EU's 2008 framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia. That is a legal document.
It lists as a crime "publicly inciting to violence or hatred directed against a group of persons, or a member of such a group, defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin". Also punishable is: "publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes".
After this month's terror attacks in Paris, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls denounced "the new anti-Semitism".
It was fuelled by the internet, poverty in certain districts, and hatred of Israel, and was "preaching hatred of all Jews", he said.
The controversial comedian Dieudonne has been convicted repeatedly for inciting hatred of Jews and banned from performing. Now he is in trouble for saying he felt like "Charlie Coulibaly", seen as mocking the terror victims.
Yet he has a huge fan base, created via social media - mostly young fans who like his crude, inflammatory anti-establishment and anti-Semitic rhetoric. His much-imitated "quenelle" gesture has been compared to the Nazi salute.
Two previous Islamist terror attacks contributed to the anxiety in French and Belgian Jewish communities.
In 2012 Mohamed Merah killed three Jewish children and a rabbi in Toulouse, as well as three unarmed French soldiers.
Another French Islamist, Mehdi Nemmouche, has been charged with murder of four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May 2014.
A French think-tank, Fondapol, reports that anti-Semitic offences increased by more than 90% last year in France.
It also says half of recorded racist attacks targeted Jews, who make up no more than 1% of the population.
Surveys do not reveal the full scale of the problem, researchers say, as many anti-Semitic incidents go unreported. The same can be said for racism generally.
Fondapol's November 2014 opinion poll on anti-Semitism, conducted by Ifop, suggests that anti-Semitic prejudices are most prevalent among fundamentalist Muslims and supporters of Marine Le Pen's nationalist Front National (FN).
In neighbouring Belgium the Jewish community set up a crisis management centre after Merah's 2012 atrocity.
Maurice Sosnowski, president of Belgium's Jewish umbrella group CCOJB, said anti-Semitism "is coming back to the pre-World War Two level". It had been suppressed since 1945 because of general horror at the Nazi crimes against Jews, he said.
"For years now, in some areas, Jews have been afraid to wear the kippa (skullcap); they feared being assaulted in the metro.
"A lot of Jewish kids left public schools, to go to Jewish schools - it's a bad sign," he told the BBC.
He said Belgian politicians should speak out more against anti-Semitism.
Belgium's Jews - about 38,000 in total - nearly all live in Brussels and Antwerp.
After police clashed with suspected jihadists in Verviers, killing two, Jewish schools were closed as a security measure. "Everyone accepted that decision, because they were anxious," Mr Sosnowski said.
Jewish leaders in Germany and the UK are worried about anti-Semitism too, but view the situation in France as worse.
This month Josef Schuster, head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, said he was glad that so many "average citizens" had rallied to defend human rights, against the Pegida nationalist movement.
The survey of European Jews by the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) in 2013 found that 76% felt anti-Semitism had got worse in recent years.
In the UK fewer than half considered anti-Semitism to be a big problem in their country, while in France the figure was 85%.
"You'd have to pay me a lot of money to live in France or Belgium now," said Marc Cohen, a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Nationalist parties have been gaining ground in much of Europe, including the FN in France, Golden Dawn in Greece and Hungary's Jobbik.
Such extremism "is not endorsed by anyone in our government - that's a big difference," said Mr Cohen, noting that anti-Semitism had once tainted the British establishment.
Now the worry is "anti-Zionism merging into anti-Semitism" in British society, he said. "The lines are incredibly blurred, but you know it when you see it."
The national park authority served a notice for the St David's Hotel, Harlech, to be pulled down.
The body said it has been inundated with complaints over the state of the Gwynedd venue which closed in 2008.
In 2014, permission was granted for it to be replaced by a 130-bed hotel, but owner Aitchison Associates did not move forward with the project.
The hotel, built in 1910, has a prominent position in the town, and Snowdonia National Park Authority's planning officer Jane Jones said its "unsightly appearance seriously detracts from the surrounding vicinity and prevents the economic development of Harlech".
Ms Jones added: "With the hotel building in such a poor state of disrepair, repair work is no longer feasible: windows rotting, dormer windows completely perished, sections of the roof have collapsed and other numerous structural defects. Internally the building has been gutted."
She said discussions over the future of the site have been slow because Aitchison Associates is based in Gibraltar.
If no appeal is made against the notice, it will take effect in January, with 15 months then given to comply with it.

Wales have qualified for their first major championship since the 1958 World Cup and the Manics, who are hardcore Welsh football fans, admit their anthem began evolving since Wales narrowly failed in their qualification bid for the 1994 World Cup by defeat to Romania.
"It's a long time coming," said lyricist Nicky Wire.
"Definitely there's pressure, World In Motion by New Order (for England's 1990 World Cup campaign) is the best one, that's the benchmark.
"We wanted to make a great Manics song first and I think we pulled it off. If the song takes off on the terraces, there's not going to be many more finer moments than that."
Wales, who play Sweden in a friendly on Sunday, begin their Euro 2016 campaign against Slovakia in Bordeaux on Saturday, 11 June before facing England and Russia in Group B.
The Manic Street Preachers, whose songs 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' and 'The Masses Against the Classes' have been UK number ones, are currently touring celebrating the 20th year of their acclaimed album 'Everything Must Go'

The IAAF took action after the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that alleged "state-sponsored doping".
Its council members voted 22-1 in favour of Russia being banned.
"This is a wake-up call for all of us," said IAAF president Lord Coe.
He told BBC Sport: "Our sport finds itself in a shameful situation.
"I am wholly focused on the changes that need to be made. I have openly conceded that we need to learn some very tough lessons.
"We need to look at ourselves, within our sport, and we will do that."
Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said the suspension was "temporary" and the "problem is solvable".
The country's IAAF council member was not allowed to participate in Friday's vote.
As it stands, Russian athletes may not enter international competitions, including the World Athletic Series and Rio Olympics, which begin on 5 August next year.
Russia will also not be entitled to host the 2016 World Race Walking Cup in Cheboksary and the 2016 World Junior Championships in Kazan.
The IAAF says that unless the Russian Athletics Federation (Araf) voluntarily accepts a full suspension, it is entitled to proceed to a full hearing on whether the provisional suspension should be made full.
Former sprinter Frankie Fredericks, head of the IAAF athletes commission, added: "We are angry at the damage being caused to the reputation and credibility of athletics and are united alongside our president to not shy away from the major challenges that face our sport."
The Wada commission, led by chairman Dick Pound, suggested Araf, Russia's anti-doping agency (Rusada) and the Russian Federation as a whole could not be considered anti-doping code-compliant, because of what it claimed was widespread cheating.
The report claimed to have evidence of "direct intimidation and interference by the Russian state with the Moscow laboratory operations", while Rusada gave athletes advance notice of tests, hid missed tests, bullied doping control officers and their families and took bribes to cover up missed tests, it said.
According to the commission's findings, London 2012 was "sabotaged" by "widespread inaction" against athletes with suspicious doping profiles.
In a statement on Friday, a Wada spokesperson said: "The decision is positive news for clean athletes worldwide."
Mutko said on Thursday that Russia is "against a boycott" and "against political interference in sport", adding the country is a "dependable partner of the international Olympic movement".
Russian President Vladimir Putin also demanded co-operation with doping authorities, saying: "The battle must be open. A sporting contest is only interesting when it is honest."
International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said he expected Russia to "co-operate to make progress" towards being compliant with Wada to ensure participation at Rio 2016.
Here are three films from the archives depicting places where he is thought to have lived, and looking at how he should be remembered.
While modern-day advertisements to promote tourism are slick and often voiced by Hollywood stars, this Tourist Board film from 1962 promoting the St Patrick pilgrimage is very much of its era.
The film charts a journey "through green country alive with memories", from Slemish Mountain near Ballymena, County Antrim via Downpatrick to Armagh.
The narrator, with a perfect newsreel-English accent, intones: "Back in the fifth century, St Patrick was brought to Northern Ireland as a 16-year-old slave boy, who was put to work on a farm, the legend runs, on Slemish Mountain."
A young woman, speaking in a stage Irish brogue, says: "Sure St Patrick himself was a herdsman at this very spot."
"If you walk through our lovely country in his footsteps, you'll end up wishin' from your heart at a wishing well," she says.
The life of St Patrick remains a source of enduring argument, with many places in Ireland associated with the patron saint.
In this 1935 British Pathé film, they visit "the peaceful fertility and pleasant aspect of County Down, where St Patrick spent his boyhood".
Amid footage of thatched stone cottages and picturesque rural scenes, the narrator says "the land hasn't changed much since his day".
The question of whether people in Northern Ireland should get the day off work for St Patrick's Day proved to be a controversial one in this BBC report from 1978.
BBC reporter Patrick Burns took to the streets of Belfast to ask people what they thought.
It's a question still awaiting an answer in the case of an elderly man found wandering an English city in November.
The tall, slim, grey-haired man said his name was Roger Curry, but he could not remember anything else about himself.
After further inquiries, police now think Roger Curry may have been a now-deceased friend of the man.
More on this and other stories from Herefordshire
The man with memory loss, who for now West Mercia Police are calling "Roger", shows signs of dementia, doctors say.
He was found wandering in the Credenhill area of Hereford on 7 November by passers-by who took him to Hereford County Hospital.
"People with no memory are often taken to hospital to see if there is a physical or mental issue which requires treatment," said Louise Vesely-Shore, from the National Crime Agency's Missing Persons Bureau.
"They could have been in a car crash and have a head injury or suffer from dementia.
"Treatment can sometimes help them to remember pieces of information which can help identify them."
For those searching for a lost loved one, local hospitals can offer a port of call.
Police look for clues the lost person may have on them - mobile phone contacts are an easy way to trace family and friends. But clothing labels and tattoos also give vital leads.
There were no such pointers in Roger's case, said Adam Vanner, missing persons co-ordinator at West Mercia Police.
"We checked CCTV in the area where Roger was found to see if we could retrace his steps.
"We contacted nursing homes, care agencies, local authorities and neighbouring police forces.
"We ran his fingerprints through our database and put out a national broadcast to every force to see if he matched with any of their missing people.
"This all happened in the first few hours.
"Roger does not say much but speaks with either an American or Canadian accent, so we contacted both embassies.
"We notified the Missing Persons Bureau and our corporate communications put out an appeal through the local media."
All these routes have so far led to dead ends.
Ms Vesely-Shore said the Missing Persons Bureau had a DNA database, but it required consent from the lost person or their guardian - which was problematic in amnesia cases.
"The police have specialist officers to interview vulnerable people," she said.
"And it can take some time for those with memory loss to build up a relationship with officers or those looking after them."
She said the bureau only saw "a handful" of people in Roger's situation each year, as most were identified "quite quickly".
This was the case involving a man who woke up on a park bench in Birmingham unable to remember anything about himself.
He walked to Digbeth police station on New Year's Day 2013 and was taken to Birmingham City Hospital where nurses called him "Steve".
Police released his photograph to the media and eight days later he was reunited with his family who confirmed his name was Robert.
A "mystery man" found in a Peterborough park with a "severe case of amnesia" was named as 22-year-old Alvydas Kanaporis, from Lithuania.
Mr Kanaporis was found in the early hours of 18 May 2014 and taken into the care of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trust (CPFT).
He spoke with an Eastern European accent and his details were circulated in an international media appeal two months later.
A man claiming to be his brother contacted authorities.
A man found wandering the streets of Sheerness, Kent, in a soaking wet suit and tie in April 2005 became known as "Piano Man".
He did not speak, so staff at the Medway Maritime Hospital gave him a pen and paper and he drew detailed pictures of a grand piano.
When staff showed him the piano in the hospital's chapel, he reportedly gave a classical performance.
Piano Man broke his silence in August saying he was German. The embassy was contacted and he was reunited with his father.
The mystery man was named as Andreas Grassl, 20, from Prosdorf, Bavaria.
A man was reunited with his father after spotting him on the BBC's Missing Live programme - five years after he thought he was cremated.
John Renehan's father John Delaney went missing in 2000 and when a decomposed body matching his description was found in 2003 he was identified by a coroner.
But it emerged that Mr Delaney, 71, of Oldham, Greater Manchester had been put in a care home after being found wandering around the town with memory loss.
In each of these cases, vital clues about the person's identity were apparent from the individual themselves.
Local authorities, hospitals, police and the Missing Persons Bureau pulled together to share these clues in a bid to reunite the lost person with their loved ones.
Mr Vanner believes the public is the police's strongest tool in identifying people who do not know who they are themselves.
He said: "We have had positive news from our first press appeal for information to help identify Roger.
"Someone contacted us and said they thought they recognised the man.
"They said they believed he had served in the Army in Hereford and the name he had given was that of a friend who had died.
"We managed to get in touch with the ex-commanding officer and we are in the process of checking their records of all the ex-servicemen back to World War Two.
"Unfortunately the name the member of the public gave us is not a match. But we will continue to explore that avenue."
He urged anyone who believed they knew Roger's true identity to get in touch.
Mandy Appleby, Herefordshire Council's head of safeguarding, said: "If we can identify who Roger is and better understand his background, we can ensure he's receiving the right care to meet his needs."
The 28-year-old had been with the Welsh side since 2012, but wanted to leave a year before his deal ends after making just nine appearances last season.
He told the club website: "I've enjoyed my time and was honoured to wear the jersey but have been frustrated with limited game time in recent months.
"I'm grateful to Scarlets for allowing me to pursue an exciting opportunity."
Scarlets general manager of rugby Jon Daniels added: "Strength in depth in the backline limited Gareth's opportunities in the Scarlets jersey last season.
"Despite being disappointed to see a player of his calibre leave the region, we wish him well for the future." | James Wade produced a match-winning 141 checkout to beat Belgium's Ronny Huybrechts 3-0 and progress to the PDC World Darts Championship second round.

Patients in England will also be able to enter symptoms online and receive tailored advice or a call back from a health professional.
The NHS.uk website will allow patients to book appointments, access medical records and order prescriptions.
The initiatives are part of moves towards a paperless NHS.
It was announced in February this year that £4bn had been set aside for the IT initiative.
The new online triage system is part of an expansion of the current NHS 111 non-emergency phone line service.
The service is being developed with leading clinicians and will be piloted before the public can use it.
The re-launched NHS website will also allow patients to compare how well their local health services perform in areas of dementia, diabetes and learning disability services.
Data on maternity, cancer and mental health data will be added in the autumn.
The site will also have a new collection of NHS-approved health apps to guide patient choice.
Mr Hunt said: "We are going to make very big moves in the next 12 months into apps and wearables,
"I wear a Fitbit, many people use apps. What is going to change with apps is the way that these apps link directly into our own medical records.
"And by March next year NHS England are going to publish a library of approved apps in areas like mental health and chronic conditions like diabetes.
"We will also in the next 12 months be having a competition because we think we need better apps than the ones that are available in the market.
"We don't want to develop them ourselves but we want them to be developed by entrepreneurs who have the specialist knowledge and creativity to do this.
"These will link into people's medical records."
In 2012 ministers had promised that within three years patients in England would be able to book GP appointments and get test results online.
In 2013 Mr Hunt said he wanted the NHS to be paperless by 2018 - with the first step, giving people online access to their health records supposed to be available by March 2015.
A report suggested better use of technology could allow £4.4bn to be put back into the NHS.
Colin Clements from Powerscreen was speaking to the BBC's Inside Business programme.
He said that firms operating in the Eurozone currently have a significant advantage.
"The euro is a real struggle for us at the moment," he said.
"We're much more expensive landed in a eurozone where our machines are sold by our dealers in euros compared to our European base competitors.
"They also have a big advantage bringing product into the UK so they can undermine our very strong market share in the UK whilst we're struggling to maintain our share in the eurozone."
Colin Clements' interview will be broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Business at 13:30 BST on Sunday 26 April.
Buildings were "vibrating" as waves battered the coastline in Torcross on Saturday and a huge crack appeared along sea defences.
A stretch of sea wall collapsed on Friday and a main road was closed.
It is likely the A379 will be shut for about six weeks as repair work gets underway.
Stuart Jacob, Licensee at the Start Bay Inn, said: "The whole building was vibrating, it was like the bay had been turned into an aeroplane.
"We came outside and saw the crack and took the option to close the pub, we didn't think it was safe."
It is hoped single lane traffic can be diverted through a car park to reconnect the village next week.
Josh Gardner, vice-chairman of Stokenham Parish Council, said: "Obviously businesses are worried about what's going to happen and what their future is down here but hopefully we can sort something out."
A statement from South Hams District Council said: "Devon County Council has closed the road, the A379, while it is unsafe to use and intends to start work next week to repair damage to the highway.
"In the meantime diversions are in place. Engineers from South Hams District Council and Devon County Council are on site and assessing the condition of the sea wall in order to limit any further deterioration."
The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that opened the way to such unions.
Gay marriage is only legal in the capital, Mexico City, and a few states.
Elsewhere in Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and most recently Colombia have already legalised same-sex marriage.
Mexico's Supreme Court declared last year that it was unconstitutional for the country's states to ban such marriages.
Mr Pena Nieto made the announcement at an event marking Mexico's national day against homophobia.
On Twitter, the president said: "For an inclusive Mexico that recognises in diversity one of its biggest strengths." He used a hashtag in Spanish saying: "Without homophobia".
His and the Mexican government's profile pictures on Twitter were overlaid with the rainbow flag of gay pride.
Argentina was the first Latin American country to legalise same-sex marriages in July 2010.
The BBC's Will Grant in Mexico City says the governing PRI party has always prided itself on upholding the conservative values of Mexican society.
But the move is perhaps a recognition by the Pena Nieto government that attitudes towards gay rights have relaxed in recent years, our correspondent adds.
David Goodall was ordered to work from home next year after his presence at Western Australia's Edith Cowan University was deemed a safety risk.
But the university has now found an alternative workspace.
Australia's oldest working scientist, Dr Goodall has produced more than 100 research papers in an ecology career spanning 70 years.
He is currently an unpaid honorary research associate.
After two decades at Edith Cowan University, Dr Goodall was told in August to pack up his office when staff raised concerns about his safety.
It was another setback for the ecologist, who was recently forced to give up theatre when his declining vision prevented him from driving to rehearsals.
The university confirmed "better" office space has been found at a campus closer to Dr Goodall's residence.
"I am pleased we have found a solution that will ensure David can continue to be based at ECU," vice-chancellor Steve Chapman told the BBC.
Dr Goodall said he was grateful the university was able to accommodate him.
"I hope to continue with some useful work in my field in so far as my eyesight permits," he told the ABC.
"But I still think the emphasis on safety was unnecessary."
The government hopes that the studying time lost by the country's 1.8 million children can still be made up.
The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) says that the reopening of Sierra Leone's schools marks "a major step in the normalisation of life".
New cases of Ebola continue to be reported in Sierra Leone but numbers are declining.
The BBC's Umaru Fofana reports from the capital Freetown that the pupils are "really excited" to be going back despite concerns about Ebola.
To allay fears and ensure that there are no new Ebola cases, the first day at school will be spent on Ebola education and going through basic hygiene rules.
Unicef has trained 9,000 teachers in Ebola prevention and is also supplying hand washing facilities to every school.
There will also be the chance to remember friends and colleagues who died from Ebola.
Secondary school teacher Nancy Banya told the BBC's Newsday programme that after welcoming the children there will be a quiet time to reflect on the lives of "those friends who we lost".
There have been more than 12,000 Ebola cases in Sierra Leone with 3,831 people dying from the virus since the outbreak began in the country in May 2014, according to the World Health Organization.
The number of new cases is declining with just six recorded last week.
At the start of the school day pupils will be required to wash their hands with soap and clean water and have their body temperature checked before entering the classroom, our reporter says.
But he adds that there is concern that school facilities will not be ready.
He visited several schools in different parts of the country where the classroom furniture was broken and the compounds were covered in overgrown grass.
Despite this many pupils will be pleased, says Ms Banya, as the "kids are so bored" staying at home.
Sierra Leone is the last of the three countries worst affected by the Ebola virus to reopen schools. Guinea reopened its schools in January and Liberia followed a month later.
The Irish prime minister was speaking at a Belfast Pride breakfast event in the city on Saturday morning.
The Republic of Ireland's first openly gay leader, said he was attending the event as a "gesture of solidarity".
Northern Ireland is the only place in the UK where a ban on same-sex marriage still exists.
In 2015, the Republic of Ireland voted to legalise same-sex marriage in a referendum.
Mr Varadkar told crowds outside the Northern Whig in Belfast that he was not "here to unsettle anyone".
"But I am here to state my support and my government's support for equality before the law and individual freedom for all citizens wherever they may reside," he said.
The DUP, which opposes same-sex marriage, has raised no opposition to his attendance at the event, but across the street a group of Free Presbyterians staged a protest.
The taoiseach (Irish prime minister) added: "Difference makes us stronger and that's something I believe in and something that I think can mark Northern Ireland out in the future.
"I totally appreciate that this it is an issue for the Northern Ireland Assembly, but we need an assembly up and running."
Mr Varadkar said he had given his opinion on the issue to former first minister, Arlene Foster.
Thousands of people are expected to attend the Belfast Pride parade on Saturday afternoon, although Mr Vardakar has said he was not able to attend the main event because he had a prior commitment.
Mr Varadkar also said he was pleased that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and Gardaà (Irish police) would be marching in the parade in uniform for the first time.
"Doesn't that say something really good about Northern Ireland and the way it has developed as a society in the past 10 or 20 years?" he added.
On Friday, the first day of Mr Vardakar's visit, he called for "unique solutions" to preserve the relationship between the UK and the European Union after Brexit.
During a speech at Queen's University in Belfast he also warned "the clock is ticking" in Brexit negotations and that "every single aspect of life in Northern Ireland could be affected" when the UK leaves the European Union.
On Friday afternoon, the taoiseach met members of Northern Ireland's political parties, including representatives from the DUP, Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance.
His meeting with DUP leader Arlene Foster came days after a row between the party and the taoiseach over the Irish border post-Brexit.
But Mrs Foster told the BBC she had thanked the taoiseach for "discounting" the idea of a border along the Irish sea.
The 22-year-old from Oldham was enjoying his new job as a media sales manager for the Guardian, based in Manchester.
He was in love with his girlfriend, Stephanie Reid, 22, and had travelled to London that day to meet a colleague.
Mr Foulkes lived with his parents, Graham and Janet, and sister Jill but was planning to move in with Ms Reid and start a family.
Ms Reid said they had been together every day since their first date.
David Foulkes joined the Guardian as territory sales manager for the North-West, which meant he was visiting local shops to promote the paper.
He attended Hulme grammar school in Manchester, where he was a keen squash player and swimmer.
He stayed on for the sixth form and then went to Oldham Business School, before getting his first job.
His father, Graham Foulkes, has become one of the leading campaigners for the 7 July families.
He told the inquests: "He learned to drive at 17. We bought David an old Volkswagen Polo and, after that, we saw very little of him at weekends.
"At about this time, David found girls, or I should say they found him, because David was 6ft, very handsome and had a car.
"I held my breath and had that dreaded man-to-man chat with him. We went to the local pub and I remember coughing and spluttering as I tried to approach the subject.
"He caught on very quickly and assured me that he knew all about the birds and bees."
Mr Foulkes, who played squash once a week with his son, added: "He was always delighted to beat dad, which he did all too often."
He said: "I am extremely proud that David was a very thoughtful person who cared for the people he called friends.
"In his group there were two unfortunate people who developed mental health problems and, as happens, the group moved away from them, but David did not.
"He would visit them in hospital and always kept a lookout for them and, after their discharge, he encouraged them to rejoin the group and enjoy a normal, ordinary life."
He added: "I cannot say what the future would have been for David. Who could? But I do know he would have made us proud and happy parents.
"David is missed beyond words by all who knew him. He was a super lad who would never do anyone any harm."
Hundreds of mourners attended his funeral at the church of St Anne in Lydgate, Oldham.
Outside the church, flowers and tributes covered the ground.
His former colleague Kaye Walsh said: "When things were tough David would always be there with his cheeky smile and wit that made us all smile again.
"I cannot explain the loss we will all feel throughout our lives.
"Not many people touch our hearts in this lifetime, but David did. His presence would light up a room."
Five-year-old Corey Edwards, from Teignmouth, Devon, who had a congenital heart defect, was being treated at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
Jemma and Craig Edwards decided on the bedside wedding when they were told Corey could die in hospital.
Corey died on Thursday evening, five days after his parents got married.
Mr Edwards said it was "a day we will never forget".
Corey, who was diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect when he was seven months old, was on the paediatric intensive care unit after being admitted in January.
His parents organised Saturday's wedding in 48 hours, after being told their son did not have much longer to live. They also had to get special permission from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mr Edwards said: "He's [Corey] asked quite a few times why we are not married, so we thought we would make it a special day and cheer him up a bit."
The couple said they "rushed into town" to buy wedding clothes and "made do with their engagement rings".
Hospital staff helped, with one nurse doing the bride's hair and another making the wedding cake.
Craig Edwards said: "Instead of being at his bedside crying the whole time at least on that one day we had a real special day. We know he was happy that day."
Hospital chaplain the Reverend Stephen Oram said: "It was fulfilling the wish of a dying child.
"It was also emotional because we knew the outcome for poor Corey isn't going to be a good outcome and everyone was just aware of the specialness of the day for Mr and Mrs Edwards and Corey."
Two officers, the helmsman, the head of cabin service and the head of the crisis team were given up to two years and 10 months in jail for multiple manslaughter, negligence and shipwreck.
They had agreed plea bargains and may avoid custodial sentences.
Capt Francesco Schettino is being tried separately.
He is charged with multiple manslaughter for causing the shipwreck and abandoning the vessel with thousands still aboard. His case will resume on 23 September, and his request for a plea bargain has been rejected by the prosecution.
The five defendants were Roberto Ferrarini, director of the Italian cruise company's crisis unit, cabin service director Manrico Giampedroni, first officer Ciro Ambrosio, Indonesian helmsman Jacob Rusli Bin and third officer Silvia Coronica.
They received prison sentences ranging from 18 months to two years and 10 months as the court agreed to plea bargains in order to avoid a lengthy trial.
The heaviest sentence was given to Roberto Ferranini who was ashore as the disaster unfolded and in charge of co-ordinating the cruise ship company's response to the crisis.
None is likely to go to jail as sentences of under two years are suspended in Italy, while longer sentences may be appealed or replaced with community service, Reuters cited judicial sources as saying.
Prosecutor Francesco Verusio told reporters that Capt Schettino's trial was the most important.
"Justice is beginning to be done but there will be real justice in the end, when we can determine with certainty what the responsibilities of the captain are," he said.
But lawyers for the victims reacted with dismay.
"What will the families of the victims think? This is truly disappointing," Daniele Bocciolini told SkyTG24. "Schettino remains the only one on trial, but not the only one at fault, in my opinion."
Massimiliano Gabrielli, lawyer for the group Justice for Concordia, compared the "shameful" length of the sentences to the seven years given to Emilio Fede, who was convicted of procuring prostitutes for former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Capt Schettino's lawyers say he faces a maximum 20 years in jail if found guilty. He denies the charges and says that without his actions many more people would have died.
The trial is taking place in Grosseto, the city nearest the site of the wreck, and much of the case against him has already been disclosed in a report by court-appointed experts.
He has been accused of leaving the luxury liner before all those on board - 4,229 - had been evacuated and steering it too fast and too close to shore during a night-time, sail-past salute to people on the tiny island off Tuscany.
Capt Schettino has already accepted some degree of responsibility, asking for forgiveness in a television interview last year as he talked of those who died.
However, Capt Schettino maintains he managed to steer the stricken vessel closer to shore so it did not sink in deep water where hundreds might have drowned.
His lawyers say he is being made a scapegoat for what was simply an accident.
The vessel was holed by rocks just as many passengers were dining on the first night of their cruise. A disorganised evacuation followed as many of those on board panicked when the ship began to tilt to one side.
Costa Crociere, part of the American-based Carnival Corporation, agreed to pay a $1.3m (£860,000) fine in April to settle possible criminal charges.
Most passengers have already accepted compensation of about 11,000 euros ($14,200: £9,400) each, but remaining groups of survivors are holding out for more.
The Costa Concordia still lies partially submerged while salvage crews work to refloat it.
He went on to become a linchpin of the insurgency after the Taliban were toppled by the US-led invasion in 2001.
He was eventually captured in a joint US-Pakistani raid in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi in February 2010.
Little was heard of Mullah Baradar's fate until late in 2012 when his name repeatedly topped the list of Taliban prisoners the Afghans wanted released in order to encourage nascent peace talks.
Pakistani officials released Mullah Baradar on 21 September but it is not clear whether he will be allowed to stay in Pakistan or sent to a third country.
At the time of his arrest he was said to be second-in-command to the Taliban's spiritual leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, and one of his most trusted commanders.
Senior Afghan officials hope that a senior figure like him could persuade the Taliban to engage in talks with Kabul - a critical part of the government's plan to ensure stability after Nato combat troops withdraw in 2014.
He is reputedly one of those leading militants who favour talks with the US and the Afghan government.
After helping found the Taliban movement in 1994, Mullah Baradar developed a profile as a military strategist and commander.
A key Taliban operative, he was believed to be in day-to-day command of the insurgency and its funding.
He held important responsibilities in nearly all the major wars across Afghanistan, and remained top commander of Taliban's formation in the western region (Herat) as well as Kabul. At the time the Taliban were toppled he was their deputy minister of defence.
"His wife is Mullah Omar's sister. He controlled the money. He was launching some of the deadliest attacks against our security forces," an Afghan official who did not want to be named told the BBC at the time of his arrest.
Mullah Baradar, like other Taliban leaders, was targeted by UN Security Council sanctions, which included the freezing of assets, a travel ban and an arms embargo.
Before his 2010 capture, he made few public statements.
But one of those statements was in July 2009, when he apparently engaged in an email exchange with Newsweek magazine.
Asked for a reaction to the US troop surge in Afghanistan, he said the Taliban wanted to inflict maximum losses on the Americans.
He also vowed to continue the "jihad" until "the expulsion of our enemy from our land".
He said Mullah Omar was in good health and leading the fight against the coalition and denied Taliban leaders were based in Pakistan.
Asked what would be the conditions for peace talks, he replied: "The basic condition is the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan."
According to Interpol, Mullah Baradar was born in Weetmak village in Dehrawood district, in the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan, in 1968.
But he is also known to be part of the Popalzai branch of Durrani tribe, the same as Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
He is reported to have stayed in touch with Mr Karzai's brother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, who was head of the Kandahar provincial council from 2005 until his assassination in July 2011.

Their 4-0 home win over Cefn Druids on Boxing Day saw them draw level with Ajax Amsterdam's record set in 1972.
TNS can eclipse the record set by Johan Cruyff's team if they beat Cefn Druids away on 30 December.
They have already established a Welsh Premier League record for consecutive wins, beating Bangor City's mark.
Two goals by Adrian Cieslewicz and one-each for Alex Darlington and Greg Draper clinched win number 26 on Boxing Day.
Saints are 21 points clear at the top of the table and as the season reaches the halfway point are on course to win a sixth consecutive title.
Their perfect league record has already earned them a place in Welsh football's history books.
Craig Harrison's men became the first side to win 16 consecutive Dafabet Welsh Premier League games in a season with a 4-0 victory over Airbus UK Broughton in November.
They are also still on course to win the domestic Welsh treble for a third successive year.
The Oswestry-based side are through to the final of the Nathaniel MG League Cup, where they will face Barry Town United in January and also in round four of the JD Welsh Cup.
Saints are also making an impression further afield.
Having been invited to take part in a new-look Scottish Challenge Cup, Saints have beaten Forfar Athletic and Livingston in reaching the semi-finals.
"It's a bit surreal when you think about it and look at it," said TNS boss Craig Harrison.
"There's been a bit of negative press leading up to it about Ajax and TNS and how can you compare.
"But to win 26 games at any level is a huge achievement by the players and they should be very proud of it."
The current world record was set by Dutch giants Ajax in 1972, by a side which included the legendary Cruyff and Johann Neeskens.
The Amsterdam club won 26 games in a row in all competitions, including 19 league wins in the Eredivisie, four European Cup victories and three Dutch Cup wins.
Ajax came within one game of equalling the record during the 1995-96 season when a side featuring Edwin van der Sar, Frank and Ronald de Boer, Edgar Davids and Jari Litmanen won 25 games in a row.
Brazilian side Cortiba won 24 straight games in 2011 and Real Madrid - including Wales forward Gareth Bale - won 22 consecutive games during the 2014-15 season.
Scottish side East Kilbride actually went on a longer winning run earlier this season, with 30 consecutive wins, and received a crate of beer from Ajax in recognition.
But their feat has not been recognised by Guinness World Records as they play in the fifth-tier Lowland League.
After beating second-from-bottom Cefn Druids at home on Boxing Day The Saints stand on the brink of eclipsing a record set by one of the sport's most celebrated teams.
Victory in the return game away at Druids' The Rock stadium on Friday would secure a little piece of footballing history.
Harrison's side last suffered defeat in July when they were beaten 3-0 by Apoel Nicosia of Cyprus in a Champions League second qualifying round second leg tie.
Williams dominated Formula 1 for much of the 1980s and '90s but have scored only one point this year.
Deputy team principal Claire Williams said: "We've done a lot of work this year in order to turn this team around and we want to tell the world that.
Williams is determined to come back and determined to fight for world championships again
"Williams are not satisfied with coming ninth in the championship."
She said Massa's decision to join the team alongside Finn Valtteri Bottas was the latest in a series of moves aimed at revitalising the former world champions.
They have already signed a deal to switch from Renault to Mercedes engines, taken on a new technical director in Pat Symonds, who has won world titles with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso at Benetton/Renault, and further changes in engineering staff are on the way.
Williams said: "We've made some very clear decisions this year from announcing the Mercedes partnership to bringing in a new technical director in Pat Symonds, and this [signing Massa] is another piece of our jigsaw to tell the world that Williams is determined to come back and determined to fight for world championships again."
Williams said persuading Massa, a 32-year-old 11-time grand prix winner, to join "wasn't actually too hard a sell - it's so clear to see this team is made up of fighters and people who want to win F1 races".
Williams have been on a downward trend in recent years, halted only by an upturn in form in 2012, when they won their first race since 2004 thanks to Pastor Maldonado at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Massa has been signed as replacement for the Venezuelan, who is now likely to drive for Lotus but also has options at Force India and Sauber.
"Pastor has done a great job for Williams these three seasons and it's a shame he's leaving us, but he wants to go on and find a new challenge," said Williams, who described Bottas as "a real talent" and said partnering Massa with him is "really exciting".
Williams are in the middle of a recruitment drive aimed at strengthening the team. One of the new signings will be Massa's Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley, who is joining ahead of 2014 in a more senior role overseeing race engineering.
Smedley has become famous for his down-to-earth radio communication with Massa in the past few years, including the notorious "Fernando [Alonso] is faster than you" message when Ferrari imposed team orders on their drivers at the 2010 German Grand Prix.
Asked whether Smedley had signed, Claire Williams said: "We're working very hard to address the problems we have in-house. We have some great talent in Williams but we need to make sure we have all the talent we need to perform right at the top.
"So I'm hoping that before the end of the season or maybe slightly after we'll be making some more announcements in a similar vein to this one [Massa]. Whether that involves a certain engineer or other engineers I can't tell you."
She emphasised that any deal with Smedley was independent of Massa.
"They don't come as a package," she said. "They come separately. They are very much their own people.
"So if Rob Smedley was to join our team, it has to be on his terms, and he has to be given a role he wants to do and that may or may not be Felipe's race engineer.
"Felipe is grown-up enough to join a team without bringing his race engineer with him."
He beat Bury South MP Ivan Lewis and interim mayor Tony Lloyd after a vote by local party members closed on Friday.
He said it was "a great honour".
Labour has also confirmed its candidate for the contest in the West Midlands. It will reveal the Liverpool City Region candidate on Wednesday.
Mr Burnham was born in Liverpool and has been MP for Leigh, Greater Manchester since 2001.
He served in the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown governments, holding the posts of culture secretary and health secretary.
The Everton supporter also won praise for his work on the campaign for justice following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
Andy Burnham has called for the government to give him the tools to build a Northern Powerhouse and is robustly demanding improvements to public transport and social care provision. You might think he is getting ahead of himself, considering he has only won Labour's nomination for Greater Manchester mayor - he hasn't actually got the job.
There is a small matter of the actual election to this new post next May. But with only one council in the conurbation controlled by the Conservatives, he is odds-on favourite to win. He has said he will resign as an MP if he does so.
But it is interesting that in a more pressing contest - one that could determine the whole future of his party - he apparently doesn't have a view. At least not publicly. He was asked who he was supporting in the Labour leadership contest and he said he was remaining 'neutral' having done all he could to avert it.
It is thought that more of Jeremy Corbyn's backers supported Tony Lloyd, but by refusing to join anti-Corbyn colleagues in resigning from the shadow cabinet Andy Burnham certainly didn't alienate them.
A better test of the current leader's grassroots support will come tomorrow when his parliamentary aide Steve Rotheram will compete for the Labour nomination for what is in effect Mayor of the Merseyside (or 'Liverpool City Region') against Luciana Berger - who did resign as a shadow minister - and the current mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson.
He told the government he would ensure it follows through on its promise of a "Northern Powerhouse" if he wins the 2017 election.
Mr Burnham said: "To be selected as Labour's candidate for the first elected mayor of Greater Manchester is a great honour and I thank our members for the faith they have shown in me.
"I will repay it by devoting all my energy to uniting the Labour family here, working to win back the voters we have lost and building a policy programme with broad appeal.
"I will bring forward real answers to our housing crisis and give new hope to our young people."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn congratulated Mr Burnham, saying it would be "crucial that we have a mayor willing to do everything possible to improve the lives of everyone in Greater Manchester and in Andy we have that candidate".
Mr Burnham won the contest among party members with 3,792 votes to Mr Lloyd's 2,163 and Mr Lewis's 1,472, on a turnout of 65.3%.
Despite the turmoil at the top of Labour, and the growth in support for UKIP, the party still dominates Greater Manchester and the Leigh MP is in poll position to become the first mayor, BBC Radio Manchester Political Reporter Kevin Fitzpatrick said.
"Other parties have yet to announce when they will choose their candidate, let alone who it will be, and that means Mr Burnham has another advantage - a head start in shaping his vision for how he would lead Greater Manchester as mayor," he added.
Leading accountancy firm PwC has downgraded its growth forecasts for Scotland's economy.
However, its UK Economic Outlook report suggests house prices will rise sharply after two years and reach an average of ??156,000 by 2020.
PwC said Scotland was "skirting very close to recession".
The firm also said "vastly more" affordable housing should be built to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder.
PwC had forecast 1.8% growth in their March report. That has now been revised down to 1.3%.
The rate of growth is predicted to fall to 0.3% in 2017 - but the economy in Scotland should avoid going into recession.
The firm cites a slowdown in business investment from overseas as a reason for the fall.
Meanwhile, PwC said the Scottish housing market will go into decline for the next two years - bucking the UK trend - before rising again in 2018 to record high levels.
Lindsay Gardiner, regional chairman at PwC in Scotland, said: "Given what we are seeing here and in the recent Fraser of Allander report, Scotland is skirting very close to recession and while it is going to be a challenging few months, the country should avoid it.
"As the UK now has a new cabinet and PM, who has stated she will proceed with Brexit, there is less uncertainty now than there has been for a few weeks and that is a good thing but there is still much uncertainty ahead as we now enter the areas of working out the best deal for the UK with Europe and what potential spin-offs that may mean for Scotland.
"While our modelling sees the UK avoid recession, it would be prudent of businesses to make plans for recession scenarios, where they can."
Adam Turner, government and public sector assistant director at PwC in Scotland, added: "The picture on housing is sobering and timely as we see the end of the right-to-buy scheme at the end of this month.
"The only long-term solution for Scotland is to build vastly more affordable, quality housing in the places where people want to live.
"This could eventually lead to a situation where earnings growth again starts to outstrip house price growth, sustainably bringing down affordability for those stuck in generation rent."
The ink sketch, showing Pooh and Piglet looking at a watch at the foot of Owl's House, never made it into AA Milne's books and was kept by the artist.
Sotheby's described the illustration as a "significant" and "rare unpublished example of Shepard's work".
It is estimated to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 at auction in London on Tuesday.
The drawing was presented to composer Julian Slade at the first performance of a musical version of Winnie the Pooh at the Phoenix Theatre, London, in December 1970.
AA Milne wrote the Pooh books in the 1920s while he lived in Ashdown Forest, near Hartfield in East Sussex.
In December, a 1928 drawing of Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin playing Pooh Sticks was sold for £314,500 by Sotheby's.
A poll of more than 2,000 adults in 2014 named Winnie the Pooh as the favourite children's book of the past 150 years.
Sotheby's is also auctioning a 1931 illustration of Toad and Ratty from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows.
The drawing, entitled "Toad told Rat all his adventures", showing the pair drinking coffee at a table, is expected to sell for between £10,000 and £15,000.
Shepard, who died in 1976, was also a noted political cartoonist, but became best-known for his children's book illustrations.
However, he famously came to despise his association with Winnie the Pooh, and was heard to describe the character as "that silly old bear" in later life.
The material has been found in an area of cladding on the Kydd building, which is used for teaching.
An aluminium composite was also used in the cladding on the Grenfell tower block.
The university said further tests were under way to establish whether the product was "of concern".
The five-storey building was re-clad in 2010 and a spokesman emphasised that no building regulations had been breached.
It comes after Edinburgh Napier University ordered repairs to a halls of residence which was found to have the same cladding as Grenfell Tower.
At least 80 people are feared to have died in the blaze which ripped through the high rise in Kensington earlier this month.
In a statement, Abertay University said the cladding in question is on the east elevation of the Kydd building and faces into the Baxter building car park.
The university added that the result of further tests would determine what it did about the cladding.
The statement continued: "In the interim, to ensure the safety of building occupants, the university has carried out a thorough review of our fire risk assessments in the affected building and have received advice and guidance from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service locally to confirm some additional precautions for our fire safety management plan and evacuations procedures, such as relocating the bin stores.
"The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are in agreement that with these additional measures, together with the already cautious approach to fire safety at the university, we can continue to operate safely from the building until we are in a position to determine any remedial measures that may be necessary for the longer term."
A spokesman for the fire service added: "The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been made aware that Abertay University in Dundee is currently investigating cladding at one of their buildings.
"We will continue to liaise with the university during this process."
A long-range penalty from Owen Farrell snatched a late 12-12 draw for the Lions in an epic third Test at Eden Park in Auckland.
Fans watching the game at Rhiwbina Recreation Club had mixed emotions after the game.
But they lauded Lions captain Sam Warburton, who was a former player at the club.
After a hectic encounter in Saturday morning's final test, most supporters thought a draw was a fair result.
Gareth Edwards said: "I'm delighted we got the draw. To be perfectly honest, I thought New Zealand were a slightly better side on the day, showed a lot of heart, spirit and courage and just about deserved to sneak away with a draw.
"Whoever says the Lions is dead, absolute nonsense. This has got to live on forever."
Gareth Hill said: "It's mixed feelings really because you want to go over there and win.
"But for someone like Sam and Warren Gatland, who've been on two tours now and come home undefeated from both, I'm pleased not to have lost and disappointed not to have won.
"At the end of the day, it was a tremendous battle."
Alun Morgan felt the Lions should have taken their chances to seal the win.
"It was absolutely fantastic but [I'm] a bit disappointed really, I thought we could have taken that series," he said.
"There was a little bit too much box kicking for my liking but two fantastic teams. I'm chuffed to bits, I think a draw was a fair result."
Rhiwbina RFC was Warburton's first club and fans described him as a player its younger members can look up to.
Larry Spittle said: "I thought Warburton was just immense. The way he carries himself, he's just a role model for the kids here in Rhiwbina."
Stephanie Harris added: "Sam is amazing, we're so proud as a club to own him and have him as our role model.
"He's fantastic and I'm really pleased we've got somebody like that as an ambassador for Rhiwbina Rugby Club and the recreation club."
Webb began to make his case for a Wales recall off the bench in the region's Pro12 triumph in Cork.
But he departed in the final moments after a clash of heads.
"It's disappointing for us but more importantly it's about Rhys," said head coach Steve Tandy.
"I don't think it'll keep him out for too long, but with these head injury assessments you've got to make sure that players are at the forefront of these decisions. [He's] extremely doubtful."
Webb later tweeted: "Thanks for all your messages. I'm fine but due to a short turnaround won't have enough time this week. Don't worry I'm back."
He was making his first regional appearance of the season after suffering a foot injury in Wales's world cup warm-up against Italy.
He missed his country's progress to the tournament's quarter-finals and Scarlets' Gareth Davies has become a try-scoring star in his absence.
Davies scored a crucial try in Wales' World Cup win over England at Twickenham and got another as they beat Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday.
Webb has hopes of returning to Wales duty during the current tournament.
They host France in Cardiff on Friday, 26 February before a 12 March date with England which coach Warren Gatland believes could be a tournament decider.
Wales' Six Nations campaign ends in Cardiff against Italy on Saturday, 19 March.
Ospreys are likely to be without prop Dmitri Arhip (back injury) but hope to have props Paul James and Aaron Jarvis, and lock/flanker James King, released from the Wales squad.
The three have not featured in Wales's match-day squad for the opening two Six Nations matches.
But wings Jeff Hassler and Eli Walker are likely to be back in the Ospreys squad for the Liberty Stadium encounter against Edinburgh, who lost 22-21 away to the Scarlets.
The 30-year-old's move to the Keepmoat Stadium is added competition for Thorsten Stuckmann and Marko Marosi in the Doncaster goal.
Neal, who has made 133 appearances, has featured just once for Vale this season since losing his place to Jak Alnwick.
Neal was part of the Vale side which won promotion from League Two in 2013 and the Shrewsbury Town side which went up to League One the previous season.
Meanwhile Rovers' veteran defender Rob Jones has left the club by mutual consent.
The 36-year-old, who was also a coach with Doncaster's development side, moved to Rovers from Sheffield Wednesday in 2012.

A British Horseracing Authority (BHA) panel has suspended him for six months, saying his original four-year ban was "too substantial to stand".
It found the trainer had told Paul John to stop Echo Brava and Missile Man at meetings in December 2015.
Best was banned until 2020 at a first hearing, but that verdict was quashed because of "an appearance of bias".
Best can appeal against Monday's verdict.
Matthew Lohn, the solicitor who chaired the initial hearing, was carrying out other work for the BHA at the time.
There was no suggestion that Lohn had been biased against Best, but the BHA did find the panel's reasons for its findings were "insufficient to support its decision in this case".
The new three-man disciplinary panel, chaired by Sir William Gage, found Best guilty of not giving proper instructions to John and of conduct prejudicial to horse racing.
John rode Echo Brava at Plumpton on 14 December and Missile Man at Towcester three days later. Both horses finished unplaced.
Gage said: "We find that Mr John did intentionally ride both horses other than on their merits: that is, these were 'stopping' rides.
"We also find that is overwhelmingly likely that he rode in that way because those were Mr Best's instructions."
The CSeries is a narrow-bodied passenger jet whose development has placed a major strain on Bombardier's finances.
Bombardier is based in Canada, but it is Northern Ireland's largest manufacturing employer.
Reuters news agency, citing unnamed sources, said it would form a joint venture with the Quebec government.
Such a deal would mean the government would fund half the final development costs of the jet, which is due to enter service next year.
Reuters said the government investment could ultimately be as much as $1bn (£496m).
Any deal could be confirmed on Thursday when the firm publishes its quarterly financial results.
The report added that Bombardier will also cancel the development of its Learjet 85 business jet.
Earlier this year, it suspended the Learjet 85 programme due to a lack of demand for the plane.
The wings for the CSeries are made at Bombardier's Belfast plant, as are some wing components for the Learjet 85.
A Bombardier spokeswoman and Quebec's economy minister Jacques Daoust both declined to comment.
The CSeries problems have made it a very challenging two years for Bombardier.
There has been an overhaul in its top management team and even speculation that the entire commercial aircraft division could be put up for sale.
Earlier this year, the firm confirmed it held talks with rival Airbus about selling a stake in the CSeries.
About 800 Bombardier jobs in Belfast have gone within the past year, mostly among its contractor labour force.
An index compiled for the Institute for Supply Management, which represents purchasing managers, rose to 52.8 in May, up from 51.5 in April, providing hope that growth is rebounding from a first-quarter slump.
Anything above 50 indicates expansion.
Less encouraging were figures showing consumer spending, a large driver of the US economy, was unchanged in April.
That compares to a 0.5% increase in March.
Stagnant consumer spending is one reason that the US manufacturing sector has stalled, and only grown slightly in the past few months. Manufacturers usually lags consumer spending, as firms wait to boost production in the wake of spending by consumers.
"The April income and spending figures are another reminder that even though their incomes are rising at a healthy pace, households are still reluctant to boost spending more freely,'' said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at BMO Capital Markets.
However personal income numbers were better - rising by 0.4% in April.
As well as the improved manufacturing report, construction spending also increased in April to a near six-and-a-half year high. It jumped 2.2% to an annual rate of $1.0 trn, the highest level since November 2008.
Monday's figures follow a sharp downward revision to first quarter growth last week, which showed the US economy shrinking by 0.7% in the first three months of the year.
Well tonight she certainly has done that, wasting no time in announcing the most senior jobs in her cabinet, the first appointment only an hour or so after she walked in.
No surprise on appointment one - Philip Hammond, the former foreign secretary, becomes the money man. He's the embodiment of the phrase, "a safe pair of hands", and takes on the biggest role as Theresa May's supporter.
The biggest surprise is the appointment of Boris Johnson, the Tory members' darling, as the foreign secretary - one of the greatest offices of state, with a hugely different role as the UK contemplates life outside the EU.
There will be arguments in the coming days of course about how that role will compare and possibly pull against the newly created "minister for Brexit", a role that's been filled by arch Eurosceptic David Davis, a serial campaigner for civil liberties who is difficult to placate. The Eurosceptic Liam Fox is in charge of drumming up trade.
But the decision that marks the clearest break with the past is the sacking of George Osborne, David Cameron's fixer, and political friend for so long.
The chancellor for six years was told today his services were no longer required. A sign, if one was really required, that Theresa May is determined to use the opportunity to lead in the way that she desires. Her hallmark may be safety and caution - but she is clearly not afraid of being bold.
The rest of the cabinet will be appointed through the day tomorrow, with big roles like education and health still to be settled.
If we've learnt anything so far, it's that Theresa May fully intends for things to run smoothly, but is perfectly willing to surprise.
The 36-year-old Australian was taken into custody in Queensland on Wednesday before being released without charge.
A Queensland Police spokesman said it followed reports of a disturbance, but would not give further details. Local media said it was at the home of Mr Hackett's parents.
His family later told reporters they had concerns for Mr Hackett's welfare.
Local media reported Mr Hackett's father, Neville, called police on Wednesday.
Television footage showed Mr Hackett displaying his handcuffs to waiting cameras as he was driven into a police station.
Neville Hackett told the Gold Coast Bulletin his son had not made any threats, and he had been receiving medical treatment.
The former Olympian's brother, Craig, told media "this is not Grant Hackett".
"This is a completely different person. I don't know this person, my mum and dad don't know this person," Craig Hackett said in footage broadcast by Nine News.
"He's there in body but he's not there in mind, soul or spirit."
Mr Hackett won Olympic gold in the 1,500m freestyle in both 2000 and 2004 and had a long-standing rivalry with compatriot Ian Thorpe.
The 10-times world champion returned to the pool last year to make an unsuccessful bid to qualify for the Rio Olympics.
He was questioned by airport police in Melbourne last April after allegedly groping a passenger on a flight. He said he had been drinking in the wake of his Olympic disappointment and publicly apologised.
Mr Hackett has previously struggled with prescription drug problems and admitted he became dependent on a sleep medication.
The swimmer flew to the United States in 2014 to spend time in a rehab centre after he was spotted topless and disoriented in the lobby of a Melbourne casino.
The 37-year-old was sent to the stands during the closing minutes of the 1-0 defeat at Ashton Gate on 27 September.
He admitted a Football Association misconduct charge of "using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official".

Whatever the reason, since time immemorial many have feared Fridays and thirteens.
But why did the two fears come together to create a superstition with a life of its own, marked throughout the English-speaking world?
Not for any mystical reasons, it seems. "From the astrological point of view there is no need to be concerned about Friday 13th ," says Robert Currey of Equinox Astrology.
Dates and days of the week used to be closely related to planetary movements and phases of the moon in a system dating back to the Babylonians, he says, but that's not the case any more.
Sonia Ducie is a numerology consultant who believes strongly in the innate energy of numbers - 13 is "all to do with transformation and change" she says, and she counts Friday as the fifth day, associated with movement.
"You can see how with those two numbers together, it could be very restless," she says, but adds: "It's down to us; the energy's neutral."
Why did the combined superstition arise, then?
In 1907 a book called Friday, the Thirteenth was published, by a stock promoter called Thomas Lawson. It was the inspiration for the Friday 13th mythology which culminated in the lurid film and TV franchises starting in the 1980s.
Lawson's book is a dark fable of Wall Street whose central character ruthlessly engineers booms and busts in the market to work revenge on his enemies, leaving misery and ruin in his wake.
In it he takes advantage of the jitters which the date Friday 13th could be relied on to produce in the market traders.
"Every man on the floor and in the Street as well has his eye on it. Friday, the 13th, would break the best bull market ever under way," one character says.
So in 1907 fear of that date was already an established superstition. A quarter century before, it was not.
The Thirteen Club, a gathering of jolly gents determined to defy all superstitions, first met on 13 September 1881 (a Wednesday) though it was formally organised on Friday, 13 January 1882.
They met on the 13th of the month, sat 13 to a table, broke mirrors and spilled salt with exuberance and walked in to dinner under crossed ladders. The club's annual reports carefully noted how many of its members had died, and how many of these passed away within a year of attending a club dinner.
It was founded by Captain William Fowler - of whom it was said that everyone associated him with "good fellowship, a big heart, and simple, unostentatious charity" - at his Knickerbocker Cottage restaurant on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue.
As club marshal he "always gallantly and fearlessly led to the banqueting hall," reported the club's "chief ruler" Daniel Wolff.
The New York Times reported that at the first meeting the 13th diner was late, and Fowler dragooned one of the waiters to make up the unlucky number: "Despite his howls he was… just being shoved through the ladders when the missing guest arrived."
The first target of the club was the fear that if 13 people dined together one would soon die. But a second superstition soon followed.
In April 1882 it adopted a resolution deploring the fact that Friday had "for many centuries past, been considered an unlucky day... on unreasonable grounds" and the club sent a call to the President, state governors and judges to stop picking on Friday as "hanging day" and hold executions on other days too.
But of a joint Friday 13th superstition there is no sign at the club's foundation. It appeared some time between 1882 and the publication of Lawson's book in 1907.
Could that be the club's own fault?
It took every opportunity of bringing its two prime targets together to ridicule them, the Los Angeles Herald reported in 1895: "Whenever, during the past 13 years Friday has fallen on the 13th of the month this peculiar organisation has never failed to hold a special meeting for rejoicing."
The club prided itself that it had put superstition in the spotlight. Its fame was great: the original 13 members had grown to hundreds by the turn of the century and similar clubs were founded in cities across the States. London's Thirteen Club had been founded by 1894, when a music hall song about it appeared.
"Two of these vulgar superstitions you have combated resolutely and without flinching," club scribe Charles Sotheran wrote to the New York members in 1883, "namely the belief in 13 being an unlucky number, and Friday an unlucky day. You have created a popular sentiment in favour of them both."
Sotheran must have meant "made Fridays and 13 less unpopular", but his sentence is ambiguous and it could just as well have meant "made the superstitions popular". So was it this interpretation which established the superstition in public opinion?
The Thirteen Club's doctrine was "that superstition should be assailed and combated and driven off the earth".
If instead it generated one of the most widespread and persistent superstitions of all, that was an unlucky accident indeed.
The Iranian revolution put an end to the rule of the Shah, who had alienated powerful religious, political and popular forces with a programme of modernization and Westernization coupled with heavy repression of dissent.
Persia, as Iran was known before 1935, was one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and the country has long maintained a distinct cultural identity within the Islamic world by retaining its own language and adhering to the Shia interpretation of Islam.
Population 75 million
Area 1.65 million sq km (636,313 sq miles)

Supreme Leader: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
The Supreme Leader - the highest power in the land - appoints the heads of the judiciary, military and media. He also confirms the election of the president.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was appointed for life in June 1989, succeeding Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic republic. He previously served two consecutive terms as president in the 1980s.
Iran has been led by a highly conservative clerical elite since the revolution in 1979.
President: Hassan Rouhani
Hassan Rouhani was elected as president in June 2013, winning just over 50% of the vote.
The cleric, regarded as a religious moderate, was backed by reformists. He says he wants to steer Iran towards "moderation" and one of his main election pledges was to try to ease the crippling international sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme. Sanctions were dropped early in 2016.
The struggle for influence and power in Iran is played out in the media.
All broadcasting from Iranian soil is controlled by the state and reflects official ideology. A wider range of opinion may be found online and in the printed press.
However, many pro-reform outlets have been closed and their writers and editors imprisoned. Iran has been described by media freedom advocates as "among the five biggest prisons in the world" for journalists.
Some key dates in Iran's history:
1794 - Mohammad Khan Qajar seizes power and founds the Qajar dynasty.
1921 - Military commander Reza Khan seizes power and is later crowned Reza Shah Pahlavi.
1941 - Britain and Russia occupy Iran during Second World War.
1953 - Coup engineered by British and US intelligence services after parliament nationalises mainly British-owned oil industry. Shah, who had fled into exile, returns.
1979 - Iranian revolution unseats the shah.
1980-1988 - Iran-Iraq war.
2002 - US President George W. Bush describes Iran, Iraq and North Korea as "the axis of evil".
2004 - US says Iran's nuclear programme is a growing threat and calls for international sanctions.
2016 - International economic sanctions are lifted after the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, confirms that Tehran had complied with its promises to scale back its nuclear activities.
People have been told they will have to travel to Flint after the office shuts on Friday.
The jobseekers found out when they overheard staff being told.
PeoplePlus said "rising employment" was responsible, and it would continue to pay for jobseekers' travel.
The company offers support and training to people looking for work on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Former steel erector Ieuan Mulholland, 21, who has been unemployed for a year, said he felt people in Rhyl were being discriminated against.

"I have to use the service twice a week, but can pop in any time and often use it up to four times a week. I won't have that option any more."
Joel Payne, PeoplePlus's regional director for Wales, said the organisation would continue to run an outreach office in Rhyl.
"However, due to rising employment and fewer referrals to the scheme, most of our activities will be based in Flint," he added.
"Those who are unable to make the journey will be able to use our office in Rhyl."
French national Pierre Legris, 61, is accused of killing Rui Li, 44, by hitting her over the head with a blunt implement at their Bournemouth home.
The Chinese national, who moved to the UK in 2003 and worked as a nurse, was found in the boot of a Fiat Punto car a week after going missing on 23 May.
Mr Legris denies murder.
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, told Winchester Crown Court Pierre Legris, also known as Alain Baron, conspired to murder Ms Li with his other wife, Irene Smith, 66, and their son Jonathan Legris, 27.
He told the court the three had financial difficulties and Ms Li, who drove a Porsche Boxster, had a life insurance policy worth £300,000.
Mr Lickley said a massage service which also "on occasion" provided "sexual services" was run at a property owned by Ms Li in Wolverton Road.
He said: "A number of people responded to an advert on Gumtree for massage services. Some were offered sexual services for payment.
"Rui Li and Pierre Legris were present and participated."
Mr Lickley said the defence put forward by Pierre Legris was that a "disgruntled" customer may have followed Ms Li home and murdered her while her husband was out.
The court heard Rui Li suffered forceful blows to the back of the head, probably caused by a heavy implement.
Mr Lickley told jurors that following the killing Pierre Legris was "cool and focused and clear in what he was doing, not rushed or in a panic".
"He had a plan and it involved others; his son, Jonathan Legris and his other wife Irene Smith."
Describing the financial motive for the killing, Mr Lickley said Pierre Legris' financial affairs "were becoming desperate" and explained a "complicated link" between his finances and his two wives.
Prior to the start of the trial, Mr Legris pleaded guilty to an offence of bigamy by marrying Ms Li in 2007 while having been married to Ms Smith since 1987.
Jonathan Legris and Irene Smith deny a charge of conspiracy to murder.
Ms Smith, of St Clement's Road, also denies a charge of perverting the course of justice by providing a false alibi to Pierre Legris by saying he stayed at her home on the night of the murder.
She also denies an offence of assisting an offender by hiring a storage facility and placing her husband's clothes and French passport in it.
Jonathan Legris, of Spring Road, Bournemouth, also denies a charge of assisting an offender by driving the Fiat Punto with Ms Li's body inside.
The trial continues.
James Burn will represent the Green Party; Peter Durnell the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and Andy Street the Conservative Party.
Beverley Anne Nielsen is the Liberal Democrats candidate and Sion Llewelyn Simon will stand for the Labour and Co-operative Party for the 4 May election.

He was in a dark-coloured BMW with a blue flashing light on the front grill when he signal for the woman to pull over on the A911, Leslie Road, close to the Fettykil Fox restaurant
It happened at about 00:20 on Monday 14 November.
The woman refused to get out of her car and later contacted police.
Police Scotland confirmed the BMW was not a police car and the man was not a police officer.
The driver of the BMW was described as a tall, thin man with a tanned complexion and dressed in dark clothing.
Inspector Joanne McEwan said: "The driver did the right thing by acting on her suspicions, not getting out of her car and contacting police.
"This seems to have been an isolated incident and we have not had any similar reports locally however we are keen to hear from anyone who can help us with our inquiries."
The club say that wet weather and waiting for seating to arrive from the Far East forced the "contingency plan" of playing at Murrayfield.
Hearts will face Aberdeen in September and St Johnstone and Rangers in October at the national rugby stadium.
"Unfortunately, there are some things we cannot control," said chief executive Ann Budge.
"Despite the mammoth effort that has gone into the construction project up until now, we are not going to make our targeted open for business date of 9th September 2017 [against Aberdeen]."
Hearts had negotiated with the SPFL that their opening four fixtures against Celtic, Motherwell, Rangers and Kilmarnock would be played away from home.
The St Johnstone game will be on October 21, with the Rangers game scheduled to be seven days later. A third fixture, against Patrick Thistle on September 23 has been switched to Firhill.
"While this is disappointing, the cooperation of the management and staff at the SRU means we can accommodate all, indeed even more, of our supporters in fine style at the national rugby stadium," Budge added.
Hearts have played six European ties at Murrayfield going back to 2004, and they also hosted a friendly match against Barcelona back in the summer of 2007 watched by over 57,000 fans.
"Scottish Rugby is looking forward to welcoming Hearts to Murrayfield for three matches in the next couple of months," said Scottish Rugby's Chief Operating Officer Dominic McKay.
"As Scotland's biggest sporting stadium, Murrayfield has a history of hosting football matches having welcomed Hearts, Barcelona and Celtic in the past. We look forward to working closely with Hearts in the coming weeks."
Up to 290 police officers would be deployed along the border, said Interior Minister Jan Jambon.
The move comes as a French court deliberates over the legality of plans imminently to evict thousands of migrants from part of the "Jungle" camp in Calais.
"They're already on their way here," Mr Jambon was quoted as saying.
He said the controls, which entail a suspension of the EU's Schengen accord allowing passport-free travel, would last "as long as necessary".
The controls did not mean the border would be closed, he said, but "targeted checks" would be carried out - and those caught immediately deported.
"We are going to guard the border in strategic places, chosen and known by police as potential smuggling routes."
Borders have been tightened and fences erected across Europe, in response to the arrival of more than one million migrants and refugees arriving on Europe's shores in the past year. The majority have fled conflict in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
French and British officials want to reduce the number of migrants in Calais and deter others from heading there in the hope of reaching the UK.
Migrants gathered in the "Jungle" camp in Calais were told by authorities last week that they faced eviction from the southern portion of the camp.
That has triggered fears in Belgium that the camp's inhabitants will simply move on.
"It's our express intention to avoid tent camps like Calais in our country," Mr Jambon said.
He said 32 people had been arrested on Monday in Adinkerke, a Belgian village close to the French border.
In Calais, authorities said they would delay eviction plans until a court in Lille issued a judgement on the legality of the move, now expected on Wednesday or Thursday.
Officials continue to urge camp residents to take up alternative accommodation.
But charities argue the migrants are being evicted in mid-winter with inadequate alternative accommodation. They joined 238 migrants to challenge the move in the Lille court.
Conditions in the camp are squalid and its sprawling presence has become a controversial issue in both France and the UK.
Tea, rivalry and ambition at 'Jungle hotel'
Jungle migrants prepare to move
Migrants resist relocation to containers
Reports from the camp suggest many residents are determined to stay.
The southern side of the camp targeted for clearance, says the BBC's Thomas Fessy, constitutes the cultural and commercial heart of the camp, with makeshift communal facilities such as women's and teenagers' centres, a mosque and a theatre.
French local officials and migrant lobby groups have different estimates of the number of people who would be affected.
The officials say the figure is between 800 and 1,000, while Help Refugees carried out its own "census" which it says revealed 3,455 residents in that zone.
The activist group says hundreds of unaccompanied children will also be affected if the move goes ahead.
But Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the eviction would be done "progressively, by persuasion and with respect for people's dignity".
Evicted residents have been told they must choose between moving into refitted shipping containers set up in the camp or to a migrant accommodation centre elsewhere in France.
Some migrants have baulked at moving into the shipping containers, saying they are unfit for purpose. Help Refugees says there are only 300 spaces left in the containers.
Leaving Calais is also a difficult decision for migrants set on reaching the UK, where many have relatives. | Data from approved health apps will feed directly into personal health records, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced.

Andrew Picton, 66, of Eastcroft Close, Blagdon, Bristol, abused the girls in Slough between the ages of six and 16.
He was found guilty of 13 counts of sexual abuse, including two counts of rape, at Reading Crown Court in February.
The offences took place between March 1984 and February 1995 and were reported to police in 2012.
Det Con Francesca Worley, from Thames Valley Police, said: "These victims have waited a long time to see justice done for the abuse they suffered.
"I would like to thank them for their bravery and patience during what was a lengthy, detailed and complex investigation.
"I hope that this brings this chapter of their life to a close."
Attacks by the Boko Haram group that provoked the move included an assault on a military barracks, detonating a bomb at a bus station in the northern city of Kano and the kidnap of a French family, including four children, which grabbed the world's attention.
The declaration would bring "extraordinary measures" to bear against the insurgents in order to "restore normalcy" to the region, the president said.
"The troops have orders to carry out all necessary actions within the ambit of their rules of engagement to put an end to the impunity of insurgents and terrorists," President Jonathan said.
Now, after 12 months of state of emergency powers being in force, in the past few weeks Boko Haram has attacked several military bases, bombed a busy bus terminal in the capital, Abuja - twice - and launched an audacious kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls from Chibok which has set the world on edge.
"When they declared it I thought it had to be tried," says Habeeb Pindiga, editor of Nigeria's Daily Trust newspaper, "but honestly it has not succeeded."
In the year leading up to the state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe state, there were 741 civilian death reported, according to data collected by the University of Sussex in the UK.
In the 12 months since the figure of civilian causalities has more than tripled to 2,265.
Mr Pindiga says the military has not dealt with big problems it faces.
Because of the military's human rights record people do not trust them, plus they lack modern equipment, training and motivation.
A UK military officer who has worked closely with the Nigerians says they are stuck in a Catch-22 situation.
"The trouble with the Nigerian government is that they want a big red button, which you can press and it will fix everything," says James Hall, a retired colonel and former UK military attache to Nigeria.
"I was asked by a senior commander if we could sell them the machine that can tell if a car driving down the road contains a terrorist," he added.
"I tried to tell them that such a machine doesn't exist, but then they just thought we were hiding it from them."
The UK is very wary in giving training assistance, and sales of better equipment are also problematic, he says.

"We have reduced dramatically the types of training and equipment we're willing to provide."
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have both criticised the Nigerian military for their tactics.
Amnesty reported that some 600 people were killed by the military after an attack on Maiduguri's Giwa barracks in March.
The sale of lethal weapons to Nigeria is prohibited by UK law because of such concerns.
"Without the training, they won't be able to get the equipment, and we aren't giving them the training either," Mr Hall said.
Although Nigeria's military has enjoyed a good reputation internationally because of its involvement in several peacekeeping missions in Africa, it has not quite escaped the legacy of its past.
"What they say about former military regimes is true," Mr Hall said.
"They cripple their militaries so that there can't be further coups."
The Nigerian military rejects such criticism.
Speaking to the press on 7 May in Abuja, Brigadier-General Olajide Laleye told journalists that the military were doing what they could to stop the insurgency.
"Prosecuting large-scale counter-insurgency operations as well as numerous other operations in aid of civil authority in virtually every state of the federation has put pressure on the personnel and resources of the army," he said.
In a bid to improve morale, he was announcing soldiers' salaries would be paid to their families after their death for longer than currently allowed.
Payments usually stop a regulation three months after a soldier is killed, it was reported.
But observers say that there are other factors at work beyond just military capacity.
"There's a lack of trust all across the board, politically," says Ledum Mitee, a former activist from the oil-rich southern Niger Delta.
He has followed closely the career of President Jonathan, who is also from the Niger Delta.
At the moment, the political leadership of the three states in the north-east are aligned with the opposition All Progressive's Congress ( APC).
"People around the president, his closest allies, all tell him this Boko Haram is manufactured by the northerners to play politics," Mr Mitee says.
"This leads him to distance himself from the whole affair."
Military commanders on the ground also have to play politics, he said.
"If they give the impression it is a very bad situation, they risk being branded incompetent, so they give a less bad picture to their bosses."
Then when crisis erupts no-one is able to deal with it effectively because it is so confused, Mr Mitee said.
It is international pressure over the girls from Chibok that has forced the government to change.

It has allowed advisers from China, France, Israel the UK and the US to help its forces.
But their presence is likely to be limited to assisting the search for the kidnapped girls, and will not include a general role in improving the Nigerian military's capacity.
Even if they could, the job would be too big, Mr Hall thinks.
"It would take years of total engagement, training group after group to have any effect," he says.
"And no-one is really prepared to commit to that."
Hassan was due to appear in court charged with assaulting a police photographer after a match.
The photographer read the social media post and dropped his case against the former striker, who is now coach of Egyptian side Al-Masry.
"Her words made me sad," Reda Abdelmaged told reporters.
"I saw what Hossam's kid wrote on her Facebook when she said she was sad because she might see her dad in prison," he added.
"I decided to end the case as I love the city of Port Said [where Al Masry is based] and let me tell you that I love Hossam Hassan and his twin Ibrahim as they made the Egyptians happy."
The alleged incident happened as players and officials from Al Masry and Ghazl Al Mahalla clashed after the sides drew 2-2 in a league match on Friday.
Despite the case being dropped, Hassan will stay in custody as the charges must be officially dropped in court.
Al Masry chairman Samir Halabiya said: "The policeman has dropped the case but Hossam will stay in the prison until next Saturday and he will still appear in court and that's when the case will end."
The Egyptian Football Association had suspended Hassan for the next three matches and fined him about US$1,100 (£825).
Al Masry will play Ismaili on Friday in the Egypt Cup with Hassan's twin brother Ibrahim, who is team director, in charge alongside assistant coach Tarek Soliman.
Hassan played for Egypt at the 1990 World Cup and scored 69 goals in 169 games for his country.
It happened at the junction of New King's Road and Grimston Road in Fulham at about 19:00 GMT on Monday.

A Milwaukee jury found that Badger Guns should have realised that a man buying a firearm in 2009 intended to pass it on to the teenager at his side.
The teenager went on to shoot the two officers in the face when they stopped him riding his bike on the pavement.
Officials said over 500 firearms used in crimes had been traced to the store.
Officers Bryan Norberg and Graham Kunisch sued Badger Guns for negligence after teenager Julius Burton was able to get hold of the Taurus .40-calibre handgun by giving $40 to another man, a so-called "straw buyer", to buy it at the store in West Milwaukee.
In the confrontation with Burton, a bullet shattered eight of Mr Norberg's teeth, blew through his cheek and lodged into his shoulder. Mr Kunisch was shot several times. He lost an eye and part of the frontal lobe of his brain and was forced to retire.
Lawyers for store owner Adam Allan claimed he could not be held responsible for the sale and said the sales clerk had been deceived rather than negligent.
But jurors ordered the store to pay Norberg $1.5m and Kunisch $3.6m, along with punitive damages of $730,000.
The officers' lawyer said his clients were "very relieved", but said he anticipated years of appeals.
Burton is serving an 80-year sentence for the attack, while the man who bought the gun for him was jailed for two years.
Officials have described Badger Guns - which has since reopened under a new name, Brew City Shooters Supply, but the same ownership - as the number one crime dealer in America after more than 500 firearms recovered from crime scenes were traced back to it.
In April, 18 mountaineers and support staff were killed when the earthquake triggered an avalanche which swept through Everest base camp.
The team, known as the Icefall Doctors, have begun surveying the mountain.
They plan to fix ropes through the Khumbu Icefall in the next few days.
The Icefall is a notoriously treacherous stretch of moving and cracking ice, which climbers must negotiate after they leave base camp on their way to Camp 1 on the mountain.
Without the ropes fixed by the Icefall doctors, this would not be possible.
The Icefall doctors say they hope the restored route will attract mountaineers back to Everest for the autumn season.
"We plan to begin rope fixing work in the treacherous icefall section after conducting a ground survey," leading icefall doctor Ang Kami Sherpa told the Himalayan Times earlier this week.
A Japanese climbing team has already arrived in Nepal ahead of their planned attempt on the summit next month.
On Tuesday, climber Nobukazu Kuriki, 33, left Kathmandu for the Everest region, to begin acclimatising before his planned attempt on the summit next month.
Kuriki, who has lost all his fingertips and one thumb to frostbite, is so far the only person scheduled to climb Everest during the challenging autumn climbing season.
"I do feel nervous and afraid," he told Reuters.
"This is only natural before attempting the challenge of climbing Everest, particularly after the earthquake and at this time of year."
Nepal's lucrative climbing industry was destroyed by April's devastating earthquake and the avalanches that followed.
The government and Sherpa community, who depend on foreign climbers for a livelihood, are keen to rebuild it as soon as possible.
But some in Nepal criticise the decision to reopen the route so soon.
The president of Nepal's mountaineering association, Ang Tsering Sherpa, has described the Japanese expedition as "risky and dangerous", saying climbing in the autumn already brings the additional risks of cold temperatures and strong winds.
The planes came within 700ft (200m) of each other before the mistake was corrected on 1 April.
A UK Airprox report said the incident involved a Boeing 737 leaving Stansted and a Stansted-inbound Boeing 777.
It said the controller instructed the "wrong aircraft", leading it to "climb into confliction" with the B777.
The B737 pilot told the investigation the risk of collision during the episode in the skies north-east of Southend had been "medium high".
The report concluded the air traffic controller in the London control centre mistakenly transposed call signs and gave the instruction to the wrong aircraft.
The inquiry found at the time of the airprox, defined as a situation where safety of an aircraft is compromised, the "controller's workload was high".
Mark Carney said that the world was changing, and whether you were a "sceptic or an evangelist" on global warning, governments and investors should be aware of the possible effects on financial stability.
In the insurance industry, extreme weather events were becoming more costly, he said, with losses increasing from $10bn a year in the 1980s to $50bn in the last decade.
In banking, billions of pounds of loans to energy companies and mining businesses might have to be re-assessed.
Mr Carney said that wasn't a job for him, but for investors, who would need to be given more information.
The Governor said that the vast majority of oil and gas reserves already discovered could now be "stranded" if new rules on carbon emissions are enforced by governments.
The oil and gas would be unusable.
"There are near term risks that are so called tail risks, a series of extreme weather events, pandemics, others," Mr Carney told me.
"We have seen manifestations of those in the past.
"The point is the risks build with time, and they build more rapidly with inaction so climate change is a function of cumulative emissions, so the slower the action is today, the bigger the action has to be in the future.
"That would mean more abrupt change, that would mean bigger shocks to the value of financial assets, bigger strains on banks and insurance companies that are exposed to those assets, so what we're trying to do is to promote as smooth an adjustment as possible.
"And we think it can be done, and we think it can be done by providing better information."
Mr Carney's interview came as he gave a major speech to Lloyd's of London insurers.
In the speech he said that "climate change will threaten financial resilience and longer term prosperity".
"While there is time to act, the window of opportunity is finite and shrinking," he said.
Mr Carney is also the head of the Financial Stability Board, the global organisation of central bankers.
As said he will be raising the issue at the next meeting of the G20 group of the world's largest economies in November.
In December, government leaders will be meeting in Paris to discuss the next moves on controlling global warming.
Mr Carney told me that "he wouldn't be sitting here" in 20 or 30 years when the risks of global warming would be more apparent.
He even suggested that there could be legal challenges in the future - similar to asbestos claims now - over inaction on climate change and the impact on health or the value of businesses.
"This is the challenge," he said.
"Sitting here today, is it [global warming] the biggest risk? No it isn't.
"Is it one of the biggest risks in the future? Yes.
"The challenge is that if there's not action today or in the near future that risk in the medium term goes up and up and requires sharper action, more abrupt action, and a bigger hit to the economy and financial stability."
I asked Mr Carney whether global warming came under the remit of the Governor of the Bank of England.
He said it did - the stability of the insurance sector which is facing increasing costs and banks facing possible asset write-downs meant this was a matter of global financial stability. Bank of England governor - global economy at risk from climate change
The station will get new platforms, the UK's largest concourse, new lifts, escalators and entrances on Tooley Street and St Thomas Street.
Work will begin in May 2013, affecting Southern, Thameslink and Southeastern services until 2018, Network Rail said.
London's oldest station, which opened in 1836, is used by 55 million people.
The station will remain open during the redevelopment work, which is part of the £6bn project to upgrade Thameslink.
Passenger watchdog London TravelWatch said disruption was inevitable for big projects but it urged train operators to keep passengers updated about the changes.
This phase will see upgrade work on seven miles of track and signalling equipment in south-east London around London Bridge station and rebuilding of several bridges.
Southern's south London line services between Victoria and London Bridge via Denmark Hill will be withdrawn from 9 December, but Network Rail said people in Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye could instead use the London Overground extension connecting Clapham Junction to Surrey Quays.
From May 2013 three platforms - 14, 15 and 16 - will be closed to the public and Southern trains will be diverted to other platforms resulting in changes to train timings.
Between December 2014 and 2018 Thameslink trains will be diverted away from the station.
Southeastern trains to Charing Cross will not call at London Bridge for a year from 2015 while services to Canon Street will also cease to use the station between 2016 until late 2017.
Network Rail said the upgrade work will make the station more accessible, reduce congestion and increase the number of trains stopping at the station from 70 to 88 per hour. Passenger capacity will also rise by 50%.
Robin Gisby, managing director of network operations at the rail company, said: "This will be the most ambitious redevelopment of any London station in a generation."
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "Passenger numbers have risen on an unprecedented scale in recent years and are now at their highest since the 1920s.
"Train passengers will be the biggest winners from this investment as London Bridge station is transformed from one of the capital's most congested stations into one of the most modern, accessible and passenger-friendly transport hubs in the UK."
In a joint statement, train operators First Capital Connect, Southeastern and Southern said: "This project will mean more trains and better journeys for passengers. We thank passengers for their understanding and patience whilst these essential improvement works are being delivered."
A spokeswoman for London TravelWatch said: "We support the rebuilding of London Bridge because essential improvements for passengers that cannot be properly delivered without works of this scale, however, we realise that it is going to cause significant disruption to passengers over a long period.
"Regular and reliable information, which clearly spells out any alternative travel options is essential and, where necessary, additional services or stops should be provided e.g. extra services into Victoria."
The incident took place in the city centre on Friday evening.

Chilean media say the woman, who is at least 90, went to hospital in the city of San Antonio after a fall.
X-ray tests then revealed the presence of a foetus which weighed around 2 kilos (4.4lb).
The phenomenon, known as a lithopedion, occurs when a foetus dies during pregnancy and then becomes calcified outside the uterus.
Previous recorded cases have also involved women being unaware of the presence of the foetus until decades later.
Marco Vargas Lazo, the director of the hospital called the case "extraordinarily rare," according to the Efe news agency.
The foetus was "large and developed and occupied all of her abdominal cavity," he said.
The patient has now been sent home and doctors say it is unlikely they will attempt to remove the foetus, given the risks an operation would carry for a patient of her age.
Kieran Davies, 28, from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, in Wales, made a brief appearance in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

The Villans slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Reading on Tuesday and have just one point from their opening three games.
"I am the right man for the job, my record in the Championship tells me that," said Bruce.
"I'm under no illusion, we're judged by results. Hopefully I'm given the time to do that and turn it round."
He added: "Give me until the end of the window. We've had an awful start, that's all it is. I'm not going to beat myself up about it because there's still a long, long way to go."
Bruce, appointed as Roberto di Matteo's successor in October 2016, has won promotion to the top flight four times in his managerial career.
Villa have won just four of 43 away league games since beating Bournemouth in the Premier League on the opening day of the 2015-16 season.
Their poor record continued on Tuesday after Glenn Whelan's own goal and a Mo Barrow strike meant that Conor Hourihane's late goal was merely a consolation for the visitors.
The display, four days after a 3-0 defeat at Cardiff City, was met with an angry reaction by the travelling Villa fans and Bruce said their response was understandable.
"The results aren't what the fans expect and rightly so," he said. "I can understand their frustration, they pay their hard-earned money to see their team perform.
"I understand the booing, but my message to the fans is I've been here before and done it with other clubs in this division.
"Whether or not I'm given that time to do so is not for me to answer, but I sincerely hope so."
The British man, who is in his 30s, was arrested in Sheffield and has since been bailed pending further inquiries.
Pakistan cricketer Nasir Jamshed was one of two men arrested earlier this month, with both bailed until April.
Jamshed is among three players who were recently suspended for violating a cricket anti-corruption code.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also suspended Pakistan internationals Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif, who are due to appear in front of the board on Wednesday.
Jamshed, 27, who has played in two Tests, 48 one-day internationals and 18 Twenty20 matches for Pakistan, has not commented on the allegations.
The spot-fixing allegations relate to the Pakistan Super League - the country's top-flight cricket championship which is held in the United Arab Emirates for security reasons.
Khan and Latif play in the PSL for current champions Islamabad United.
The PCB previously said it was investigating "an international syndicate which is believed to be attempting to corrupt the PSL".
Alex McLoughlin, from Liverpool, accidentally left the rings, worth £5,500, behind on the train at Birmingham New Street.
CCTV pictures showed a cleaner picking up items where she had been sitting.
The rings were later found at his house and Osman Salhi of Gladstone Street, Birmingham, was arrested.
The 38-year-old was given a 12-month community order and told to complete 240 hours of unpaid work and 20 days of rehabilitation activity, when he was found guilty of theft at Birmingham Magistrates Court in December.
Salhi was also ordered to pay costs of £1,620.

Mrs McLoughlin, 36, took off the platinum and diamond rings to moisturise her hands and then dropped them when she showed her tickets to the conductor.
She realised what had happened when she left the train at New Street and contacted lost property, who told her the rings had not been handed in.
They were eventually retrieved by PC Rob Kelly of British Transport Police after he checked CCTV.
Mrs McLoughlin said she could not thank him enough.
"You have stopped at nothing to get this result and I am utterly astounded you managed to retrieve them - no one can believe it," she said.
PC Kelly said theft from passenger was a priority for the force.
"As an officer, it was a truly rewarding experience to successfully locate, seize and return items of such sentimental value to Mrs McLoughlin and this final news of Salhi's conviction is the icing on the cake," he said.
The news has led to demands for restrictions on shooting during the breeding season and renewed calls for Scotland's beavers to receive legal protection.
The country has two beaver populations, despite the species being hunted to extinction in the 16th Century.
The Scottish government said it was taking time to consider the issue.
An official trial re-introduction has been conducted at Knapdale Forest in Argyll.
But beavers are also thriving in the Tay catchment.
Farmers and landowners have said the animals damage trees and cause flooding in fields alongside burns and rivers.
Experts at Edinburgh Zoo have now carried out post-mortem examinations on 23 beavers from Tayside.
They concluded that 21 had been shot, although other sources have said the total number of animals killed in this way is significantly higher.
A freedom of information request by BBC Scotland has revealed:
In a statement, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland said: "In our capacity as advisors to the Scottish government on beaver management, RZSS has written both to Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish government to raise welfare concerns over a small number of deceased beavers sent in by landowners.
"This specifically relates to how they were shot, the distance they were shot from and, most significantly, the timing of dispatch, particularly of females with dependent young still in the lodge.
"We are currently awaiting a response from the minister before making any further comment."
Nick Halfhide, Scottish Natural Heritage's director of operations, told BBC Scotland: "We share welfare concerns about beavers shot with inappropriate firearms and ammunition, and those with dependent young.
"We have asked land managers not to shoot beavers in Tayside but instead seek advice from us on mitigation, such as protecting trees and discouraging dam building.
"However, if they choose to use lethal control, we have offered them advice on how to do so humanely."
He added: "We have contracted the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland to give advice to land managers in Tayside on how to manage beaver impacts on their land. This service is freely available, and we strongly encourage farmers and other land managers to use it."
Scottish Land & Estates, which represents landowners, said the beaver population in Tayside had grown following illegal releases a decade ago.
Policy officer Anne Gray said: "As beavers have no natural predators, it would be expected that some form of control would be required to manage populations and their negative impacts.
"Indeed, management, including lethal control, is common in other parts of Europe that have beaver.
"The Scottish government has still not provided advice on the calibre of rifle or ammunition that should be used if lethal control is the only reasonable option for management.
"Our own advice to farmers and landowners has been to control only where it is necessary, to look at all options and if lethal control is the only reasonable option, to carry this out in the most humane way possible."
In March 2012, the then environment minister, Stewart Stevenson, reversed a decision to trap beavers on Tayside and delayed a final decision on their fate by three years.
He had been given three options in a report by SNH - to cull the animals, accept that beavers had been reintroduced to Scotland, or to monitor the population for a longer period.
Mr Stevenson said: "There is potential for an important and unwelcome precedent to be set so we must consider environmental and other impacts when we make decisions.
"After careful consideration of all the various factors, my view is that the best way forward is to allow the beavers to remain in place for the duration of the official trial beaver reintroduction in Knapdale in Argyll.
"We will take a decision on the future of beavers in Scotland - both those in Knapdale and on Tayside - at the end of the trial period in 2015."
But almost four years later, the Scottish government has still not reached a decision on the issue.
A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Aileen McLeod told BBC Scotland: "The minister will be taking time to consider the issue carefully and listen to the views of stakeholders before making a decision on the future of beavers in Scotland.
"There is currently no legal protection for beavers in Scotland. We are aware that farmers on Tayside are experiencing issues with beavers and encourage land managers to consult with SNH on mitigation measures, rather than resort to lethal control.
"In the event that a decision is made to reintroduce beavers, consideration will be given to the appropriate form of legal protection."
Farmers' leaders believe a decision is long overdue.
They believe beavers have no place in the largely flat, fertile farmland of Tayside which is susceptible to flooding.
Andrew Bauer, of NFU Scotland, said: "If somebody has used a gun to shoot and the animal has moved out of range and the animal has been wounded, that's sad.
"But that unfortunately is the product of a situation where a lack of action by the authorities over the years has effectively left the farmers being the only ones doing the management in that area."
Scottish Green MSP Alison Johnstone, deputy convener of Holyrood's cross-party group on animal welfare, has called on ministers to "get off the fence".
She said: "Animal cruelty is simply wrong, and there can be no excuses for inhumane killing of wild creatures in 21st Century Scotland.
"Scottish ministers need to get off the fence, accept that beavers have a positive role to play in terms of biodiversity, and that they deserve legal protection.
"The poor treatment of these amazing creatures will shock many people, and it suggests that animal welfare is not a Scottish government priority."
Animal welfare campaigners say public opinion is on the beavers' side.
Libby Anderson, of One Kind, said: "The beavers are here. The Scottish government has decided to tolerate them. So it really is up to them to reflect public opinion and give them some protection.
"The public care about animal welfare and really don't want to see this kind of suffering."
Cambridge North has a 450 sq m (4,843 sq ft) building, three platforms and parking for 1,000 bikes and 450 cars.
Trains travelling between Ely, London and Norwich will stop at the city's second station.
Its silvery cladding is based on the computer model Game of Life, created by mathematician John Conway while he was a lecturer at Cambridge University.
For years, the Princeton professor felt the game overshadowed his more important achievements but now said he has grown to like it.
The mathematical model was published in Scientific America in 1970 and helped launch a new branch of mathematics.
Cambridge North, which is close to the city's business and science parks, has been built without a manned ticket office.
In 2019, a direct service to Stansted Airport will be introduced.
It was due to open in December 2015, but this was put back to May and then to December 2016.
The city's first railway station, which is in the southern part of Cambridge, opened in 1845.
Serious case reviews will be scrapped and replaced with a new structure of national and local reviews.
The move follows a government-commissioned review of local safeguarding children boards which urged "fundamental change".
Serious case reviews are "too often inadequate", ministers believe.
Cases such as those of Baby P, Victoria Climbie, Khyra Ishaq, Daniel Pelka and Ayeeshia Jane Smith all resulted in such inquiries but there have been suggestions that they have failed to change the system to protect other vulnerable children.
The report into the role and functions of local safeguarding children boards argues that the system needs "significant reform" to meet new threats and risks to children and "become consistently effective overall".
Author Alan Wood, a former president of the Association of Directors of Children's Services, says that while there are many examples of good practice there is "too much acceptance of less than good performance".
"There needs to be a much higher degree of confidence that the strategic multi-agency arrangements we make to protect children are fit-for-purpose, consistently reliable and able to ensure children are being protected effectively," says the report.
Mr Wood recommends:
The new body should consider what factors characterise a good inquiry, draw up guidance and recruit a skilled cohort of accredited case reviewers, he argues.
The report notes that more than 80% of child deaths are medical or health related, while 4% relate to child protection issues.
The government response, says the report "has set us on the right road to enable local areas to build on the best of what already exists and to think innovatively about how wider improvements can be made".
It accepts that current arrangements are "inflexible and too often ineffective" and promises "a stronger but more flexible statutory framework" for local child protection and safeguarding.
The new system replacing serious case reviews will improve the consistency, the speed and quality of local and national reviews and ensure the lessons learned inform social work practice, says the government.
A Department for Education spokesman welcomed Mr Wood's "insightful report".
"That is why our new Children and Social Work Bill already sets out provisions to set up a new panel to manage a centralised process, which will help to resolve long-term issues of quality, timeliness and dissemination of national lessons, and why we will put in place measures to improve multi-agency working, as recommended."
Property consultant Colliers International found 76 out of the UK's main towns and shopping centres will see an increase in their rates bill.
Some parts of London will see an increase of more than 400%, it says.
The winners, mainly in the Midlands and north of England, will see business rates plummet, it adds.
Newport in south Wales could see bills fall by some 80%, the report found.
"The business rates losers are found only in London and the South East and it could turn highly profitable stores, including independent retailers, into failing businesses," said John Webber, ratings expert at Colliers International.
Business rates are a tax based on property values. They are usually revalued every five years.
The last revaluation in England and Wales was in 2010 but this year's revaluation was controversially postponed to 2017.
The Government's Valuation Office Agency is busy updating its figures but Colliers has done its own research on how the rating revaluation will affect High Street retailers, based on analysis of rental data from 2010 to 2015.
It says it found big variations across the country:
Marlow faces an increase of 58% in rateable value, followed by Guildford at 42%, and Brighton up by 18.5%.
But Rochdale in Greater Manchester, hit hard by the economic downturn, will see a decrease of 30%. Kidderminster in the West Midlands is down by 42%.
And in London, it is Dover Street which is the biggest loser, with an increase of 415%. Brixton faces a potential 128% increase in rateable value, although Ealing will see a decrease of 46%.
Mr Webber believes some retailers are going to be in for a nasty shock when the business rates change in 2018.
"Business rates is a major cost for retailers and it's really important that they are able to budget for these once-in-a-generation changes," he adds.
The government has promised a review of the current system and will deliver its findings by next year's Budget.
Business rates are expected to raise around £28bn for the Treasury's coffers this year, more than the sum it raises in council tax.
Retailers currently pay a quarter of this bill, more than any other sector, and are demanding wholesale change, saying the current system is unsustainable.
They say it is an arrangement that always produces winners and losers for individual businesses.
Matthew Nichols, 29, worked at Ysgol Bryn Alyn, in Wrexham.
An Education Workforce Council panel found some of his actions were sexually motivated.
Mr Nichols, who was cleared of sending inappropriate texts to a 16-year-old, will be sanctioned at a later date.
The fitness to practise panel heard he was previously questioned by police who found Mr Nicholas had exchanged 425 texts with a girl which he claimed they were "innocent".
He was never charged with any criminal offence and there was no physical sexual contact.
The probe was sparked by two concerned pupils approaching a learning support assistant over texts their 14-year-old friend received from him in September 2015.
Nichols, who has a fiancee, admitted inappropriate communication with two pupils but said an "innocent" exchange with another had been "misconstrued".
The panel felt some of the messages went "far beyond" what was appropriate.
The exchanges included references to "hugs in the woods" and "kissing under the mistletoe".
Panel chairman Richard Parry Jones said: "The timing, volume and frequency of communication was highly inappropriate.
"Communications were sent by Mr Nichols very late at night."
Mr Parry Jones added the panel were "particularly concerned" with the "covert nature of the communications" and noted Mr Nichols asked the girl to "delete the messages".
A final decision on what sanction Mr Nichols will face was adjourned to a later date.
Roger Pion crushed the county sheriff's cruisers on Thursday before making his getaway on the farm vehicle.
The 34-year-old was stopped by police in Newport city, northern Vermont, not far from the crime scene.
Sheriff's deputies were unaware of the destruction in their department car park until a resident called 911.
Orleans County Sheriff Kirk Martin said they were initially unable to give chase as their cars had been wrecked.
No-one was injured in the incident.
Rene Morris, who saw the crash, told a local news station: "I felt like I was in a monster jam rally or something.
"I just couldn't believe it, just backing up going over it, turns around makes his way to the other vehicles smashes those up."
Mr Pion was detained last month accused of resisting arrest and marijuana possession, said police.
He was in custody on Thursday evening, facing a number of additional charges.
Pascal Cotte said he has spent more than 10 years using the technology to analyse the painting.
He claims the earlier portrait lies hidden underneath the surface of Leonardo's most celebrated artwork.
A reconstruction shows another image of a sitter looking off to the side.
The Louvre Museum has declined to comment on his claims because it "was not part of the scientific team".
Instead of the famous, direct gaze of the painting which hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, the image of the sitter also shows no trace of her enigmatic smile, which has intrigued art lovers for more than 500 years.
But Mr Cotte's claims are controversial and have divided opinion among Leonardo experts.
Will Gompertz, Arts Editor
I'm sceptical. It's perfectly common for an artist to overpaint an image as it is for a client who's commissioned that artist to ask for changes. So it's not surprising that there are those underpaintings on the Mona Lisa.
The data that the technology generates is open to interpretation, which needs to be analysed and corroborated by the academic and curatorial community, and not just an individual. I think the Louvre's decision not to make a comment is telling.
This is the world's most famous painting which, like a celebrity, always makes for a good story. But in this case I think caution is required.
The scientist, who is the co-founder of Lumiere Technology in Paris, was given access to the painting in 2004 by the Louvre.
He has pioneered a technique called Layer Amplification Method (LAM), which he used to analyse the Mona Lisa.
It works by "projecting a series of intense lights" on to the painting, Mr Cotte said. A camera then takes measurements of the lights' reflections and from those measurements, Mr Cotte said he is able to reconstruct what has happened between the layers of the paint.
The Mona Lisa has been the subject of several scientific examinations over more than half a century. More recent techniques include infrared inspections and multi-spectral scanning.
But Mr Cotte has claimed his technique is able to penetrate more deeply into the painting.
He said: "We can now analyse exactly what is happening inside the layers of the paint and we can peel like an onion all the layers of the painting. We can reconstruct all the chronology of the creation of the painting."
Leonardo is believed to have worked on the painting between 1503 and 1517 while working in Florence and later in France.
There has long been debate about the Mona Lisa's identity. But for centuries, it has been widely believed that she is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk merchant.
But Mr Cotte has claimed his discoveries challenge that theory. He believes the image he has reconstructed underneath the surface of the painting is Leonardo's original Lisa, and that the portrait named Mona Lisa for more than 500 years is, in fact, a different woman.
He said: "The results shatter many myths and alter our vision of Leonardo's masterpiece forever.
"When I finished the reconstruction of Lisa Gherardini, I was in front of the portrait and she is totally different to Mona Lisa today. This is not the same woman."
He also claims to have found two more images under the surface of the painting - a shadowy outline of a portrait with a larger head and nose, bigger hands but smaller lips. And he says he has found another Madonna-style image with Leonardo's etchings of a pearl headdress.
But Martin Kemp, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford, is not convinced.
Professor Kemp said: "They [Cotte's images] are ingenious in showing what Leonardo may have been thinking about. But the idea that there is that picture as it were hiding underneath the surface is untenable.
"I do not think there are these discrete stages which represent different portraits. I see it as more or less a continuous process of evolution. I am absolutely convinced that the Mona Lisa is Lisa. "
Art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon has made a new BBC documentary called The Secrets of the Mona Lisa, studying historical documents linked to the painting alongside Mr Cotte's scientific findings.
Mr Graham-Dixon said: "I have no doubt that this is definitely one of the stories of the century.
"There will probably be some reluctance on the part of the authorities at the Louvre in changing the title of the painting because that's what we're talking about - it's goodbye Mona Lisa, she is somebody else."
Mr Cotte announced the findings of his latest research at a press conference in Shanghai on Tuesday.
They will be included in an exhibition, Da Vinci - The Genius, which features displays of his research on the Mona Lisa over the last 11 years.
The show has travelled around the world and opens in Shanghai this week.
The Secrets of the Mona Lisa is on BBC Two at 21:00 GMT on 9 December.
The 60-year-old former jockey took up training in 1992 and won a host of sprint races, both in the United Kingdom and France.
Among his wins were the Nunthorpe Stakes, July Cup, Haydock Sprint Cup, Prix de l'Abbaye and the Ayr Gold Cup.
He faces trial in the summer on two charges of sexual assault, which he strenuously denies.
Among his horses were Ya Malak, who created his own piece of history when he dead-heated with Coastal Bluff in the Nunthorpe at York in 1997.
He was ridden by Nicholls' wife, Alex Greaves and the win saw her become the first female rider to win a Group One race in Britain.
Based at Tall Trees Stables near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Nicholls went out with a winner as stable star Sovereign Debt landed a valuable race in Qatar last month.
He tweeted: "Sovereign Debt was our last runner from Tall Trees, as due to financial problems we have had to cease training.
"It was nice to go out on a high during what has been a difficult time & I'd like to thank all our owners that have supported us."
Former champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa added: "So sad to hear that Dandy Nicholls has had to give up training. #toptrainer #sprintking."
The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance calls for tests to indentify viral and bacterial infections.
Only bacterial infections respond to antibiotics.
The review team said such tests could end "just in case" prescribing which sees a huge proportion of antibiotics used needlessly.
The review was set up last year by the Prime Minister David Cameron, who warned the world risked being plunged back into the Dark Ages of medicine by the overuse of antibiotics.
Current diagnostic tests take at least 36 hours to culture bacteria, confirm the infection and the drugs to which it is susceptible.
The review team says doctors' surgeries are under pressure to treat patients much faster, which leads to "enormous unnecessary antibiotic use".
In many cases patients are given powerful antibiotics that should be kept in reserve.
The report says the world's "last line" treatment for gonorrhoea is given on a precautionary basis to almost all patients in the UK, even though 80% of cases would respond to penicillin and more than 70% of cases to ciprofloxacin - both easy to take drugs with few side effects.
As a result, cases of drug-resistant gonorrhoea are increasing - presenting the "very real risk that untreatable cases will emerge".
The report says many drug companies have no commercial interest in producing such tests, which would limit the number of antibiotics prescribed and so reduce their profits.
Earlier this year the AMR review team proposed a Global Innovation fund of $2bn (£1.3m) over five years to promote research into new antibiotics.
They say this fund should also support the development of rapid diagnostics.
Subsidies would ensure new tests were affordable to the health service while financial incentives could be given to companies in order to reflect the immense "public good" that would result from better stewardship of precious antibiotics.
Lord Jim O'Neill, chairman of the review, said: "For far too long we haven't recognised the huge cost to society of increasing resistance when we use antibiotics that we don't need.
"To avoid the tragedy of 10 million people dying every year by 2050, the world needs rapid diagnostics to improve our use of antibiotics.
"They are essential to get patients the right treatment, cut down on the huge amount of unnecessary use and make our drugs last for longer."
The report says there are already some rapid diagnostic tests available that can reduce levels of antibiotic prescribing.
For example, C-reactive protein (CRP) blood tests can give an indication as to whether an infection is likely to be bacterial.
It says although such tests are not perfect - they have been widely used for years in the Netherlands and Scandinavia, which have among the lowest rates of antibiotic prescribing in Europe.
Prof Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England, said: "Rapid diagnostics have a pivotal role to pay in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria.
"We need co-ordinated international action to help spur innovation and improve antibiotic use before it is too late."
Labour says these leaseholders are currently "unprotected" from "rip-off rises in 'ground rents' from developers or management companies".
Housing spokesman John Healey said his party would end this "sharp practice".
The government has also promised action, saying it will end leaseholds for new housing developments.
It is also consulting on plans to set a minimum lease length for new flats - and new laws to help leaseholders fight back at tribunals against unreasonable ground rent reviews.
Leaseholders own their homes for a fixed period of time, on a "lease" to a freeholder.
They typically pay ground rent to the freeholder - but can be caught out by clauses allowing for dramatic increases in these fees, which come on top of management charges for the upkeep of communal areas.
About 21% of private housing in England is owned by leaseholders, with 30% of the properties houses rather than flats, according to the Department for Communities and Local Government figures.
Mr Healey said: "These new figures confirm for the first time the scale of leasehold ownership in England.
"At its worst this is little better than legalised extortion and too many leaseholders are having to pay hefty bills as a result."
A DCLG spokesman said it was "unacceptable" that homebuyers were "being exploited with unfair charges and unfavourable ground rent agreements".
"Our recent White Paper made clear that we will take action to tackle all unfair and unreasonable abuses of leasehold," the spokesman added.
"This includes a consultation on ending leaseholds for new houses and we will announce more details shortly."
Labour attempted to deal with the issue when it was in government through legislation in 2002, with limited results.
Mr Healey added: "This is unfinished business for Labour - we gave leaseholders more protection in government, but the continuing problem now means we must do more.
"A Labour government would give leaseholders security from 'rip-off ground rents' and end the routine use of leasehold ownership in new housing developments."
PC Fiona Bone and PC Nicola Hughes died from gunshot wounds in an attack in Mottram last Tuesday.
Residents joined about 40 officers in a walk from Hyde police station to the scene of the killings ahead of the vigil, which started at 10:45 BST.
Funerals for PCs Bone and Hughes will take place at Manchester Cathedral next Wednesday and Thursday.
Dale Cregan, 29, has been charged with the officers' murders, along with those of two other men.
About 400 people attended the service, despite the pouring rain, which featured addresses from Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy and the Reverend James Halstead.
There was a minute's silence at 10:58 BST.
By Michelle AdamsonBBC Radio Manchester
They walked in silence, through the rain, to remember two fallen colleagues.
Exactly a week on, up to 40 police officers from Hyde police station where PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes were based, marched the three miles to Mottram to pay their respects at a vigil.
On the way, dozens more officers joined them until they arrived on Ashworth Lane, close to where the two women were shot dead.
The mood was sombre and reflective. Some held candles, others clutched bouquets of flowers or single red roses during a minute's silence.
As half a dozen white balloons were released, police officers hugged each other.
After the "darkest day in the history of Greater Manchester Police" this was a moment for the communities of Mottram and Hattersley and the officers who serve them, to stand side by side and reflect.
Photographs of the two officers were on display above floral tributes at the junction of Ashworth Lane and Abbey Gardens, where the vigil took place.
Sir Peter said it was a chance to "pray for the dead officers and their families".
He said: "I think what you have seen over the past week is Greater Manchester Police is one big family and we have lost two members of our family and we feel that loss very deeply.
"I know the families of Fiona and Nicola have been hugely moved and uplifted by the great public support from around the country, around the world, but particularly from the people of Hattersley and Mottram."
He added: "I would like to say a huge thank-you to you all for being here.
"We treasure the memory of Fiona and Nicola, their great service, which symbolises the great service by so many police officers and police staff, day in day out, doing their best to try and serve the public."
Ch Supt Nick Adderley, who also spoke at the gathering, said the numbers of people present "symbolised the popularity of what Nicola and Fiona stood for".
Mr Halstead led a prayer for families "in shock and grief from the turmoil over the events of the last few days" and friends and colleagues of the officers.
Community volunteer Elsie Dixon also spoke at the service about how the deaths had hurt the community.
"Our police officers are part of our community and those girls were special.
"Our hearts are overflowing with tears. As many raindrops as you see, as many petals as you see on the flowers."
She added: "Those tears are within each of our hearts."
PC Jo Wainhouse, who organised the three-mile march from Hyde police station to Mottram and the vigil, said: "We felt that Nicola and Fiona left here, went to Mottram and never came back.
"So we felt that we'd like to walk so that after the vigil we can pay our respects and then walk back and feel that they are walking back with us in spirit."
The leader of Tameside Council Kieran Quinn and MP for Stalybridge and Hyde Jonathan Reynolds, who lives in the area, also took part in the vigil.
Mr Reynolds said local people "wanted to show their support for the police and how they feel about the tragedy".
Funerals for the dead officers will take place at Manchester Cathedral on Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 October.
PC Hughes's service will be held at 13:00 BST on Wednesday, with PC Bone's being held on the following day at 10:00 BST.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police Federation said GMP were "engaged in discussions with the families as to precisely what the arrangements will be for each service".
He said that "early indications" suggested the force would be taking up offers of assistance by officers from around the country to cover shifts and allow GMP staff to attend the ceremonies.
He added that the organisation was intending to sell £1 charity wristbands commemorating the two officers and would be donating any money raised to their families.
Director of National Intelligence General James Clapper said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the hack of Democratic Party emails, and the motive will be revealed next week.
But Mr Clapper stopped short of saying it was "an act of war".
Russia has denied involvement but the US has announced sanctions against Russian officials.
A report on foreign meddling in US elections was given to President Barack Obama on Thursday.
President-elect Donald Trump is to be briefed on the report on Friday and the unclassified version will be made public next week.
Top US intelligence officials were giving testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee investigating the alleged interference.
In their assessment, Moscow interfered to help Mr Trump, the Republican candidate, beat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Asked by a congressman if they "will ascribe a motivation to Putin", Mr Clapper replied "yes, we will ascribe motivation".
Mr Clapper described the Russian efforts as a "multifaceted campaign", which featured "classical propaganda, disinformation, [and] fake news".
In joint testimony prepared for the hearing, officials said Russia had an advanced cyber-programme that posed a major threat to a wide range of US interests.
"Russia is a full-scope cyber-actor that poses a major threat to US government, military, diplomatic, commercial and critical infrastructure," the testimony said.
It was written by Mr Clapper, Marcel Lettre, Undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, and Admiral Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency.
Senator McCain, in opening the session, reminded the panel that they were not there to "question the outcome of the presidential election".
"We cannot say they did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort," Mr Clapper said about the Russian intelligence operation, adding that the Russians may have had "multiple motivations".
"We have no way of gauging the impact... that it had on the choices the electorate made."
Asked by Senator McCain about whether it was "an act of war" Mr Clapper said "that is a very heavy policy call that I don't think the intelligence community should make".
Mr Trump has repeatedly rejected allegations that the Russian government hacked into the computers of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, and the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
On Thursday, he said he was a "big fan" of intelligence agencies, after months of casting doubt on the Russian link.
Last week he said he would announce information about hacking "on Tuesday or Wednesday", but no announcement came.
The Department of Homeland Security in late December released a declassified report to bolster accusations that the Russian government deliberately sought to aid the New York real estate mogul's candidacy.
The Obama administration also expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the US and closed two compounds said to be used by Russian intelligence.
But Senator Lindsey Graham told the Senate committee that President Obama had not gone far enough with his response.
"It is time not to throw pebbles but to throw rocks," he said.
Also on Thursday, the Trump team told US media the president-elect would pick former Indiana Senator Dan Coats for Mr Clapper's replacement as director of national intelligence.
Hertfordshire County Council has commissioned the study after the hole, which was 66ft (20m) wide, appeared on Fontmell Close in St Albans.
A local history society said the Bernard's Heath area was covered in brickmakers' clay pits in the 19th Century.
The council has spent the weekend filling in the hole with concrete.
About 77,000 litres were pumped into it on Friday with a further 100,000 litres on Saturday.
It was being left to set on Sunday and the plan was to fill it with another 100,000 litres on Monday.
Roger Miles, an amateur archaeologist with the St Albans & Hertfordshire Architectural & Archaeological Society, said brickmaking had existed for at least 300 years until the early 1900s, when many pits were filled in with the city's rubbish.
He said clay pits would have exposed the underlying chalk layers to more water, which could have led to crumbling and fissures.
"According to Ordnance Survey maps clay pits extended very close to where the sinkhole is and many had reverted to woodland over the past century," he said.
"We know the locations of some pits, but there may be others which were never mapped, so we need a fresh study to put householders' minds at ease.
"You can get a very good idea of what is under the ground without digging."
A council spokeswoman said the survey work would be non-invasive and detecting equipment could be used to pick up any underground anomalies such as weak spots or voids.
She said it could take weeks before the results were known.
Once all the concrete was set, it was hoped utilities could be fully restored to the 50 homes which were affected by the end of the week.
No-one was injured when the hole appeared but five homes were evacuated.
The council confirmed Fontmell Close had been resurfaced a year ago.
The British Geological Survey says there are several different types of sinkhole, sometimes known as "dolines".
Forbes magazine's list calculates the Pirates of the Caribbean star returned only $2.80 (£2.20) at the box office for every $1 (78p) he was paid for the last three films he made before June.
Those films include Alice Through the Looking Glass, which stumbled at the box office when it was released in May.
Will Smith is ranked second, returning $5 (£3.94) on every dollar.
The figures are based in part on his medical drama Concussion and the romantic comedy Focus.
But they do not factor in comic book movie Suicide Squad, which arrived in cinemas in August.
Channing Tatum is ranked third in the list, just ahead of comic star Will Ferrell.
The Anchorman star topped the list in 2009 and 2010 and was ranked third one year ago.
Each actor's ranking is based on the box office performance of the last three major films up to June 2016 in which they had a starring role.
Animated releases, films where the actor had in a minor role or those released on fewer than 2,000 screens are not used in Forbes' calculations.
The magazine then takes the estimated production budget away from the global box office returns for each film to work out each one's operating income.
That figure is then added to the estimated total fee for each star across their three films to discover the final figure for return on investment.
Depp's putative return is better than that of one year ago, when he was adjudged to have returned $1.20 (94p) for every $1 he was paid.

Billy Kee's header late in the first half handed Stanley the lead, which was doubled six minutes after the interval by Matty Pearson.
And the hosts ran riot in the last six minutes, with Sean McConville's quick-fire double - the second from near the halfway line - being added to by Pearson's second in added time.
Kee headed home a McConville corner at the far post to get Stanley off the mark in the 44th minute.
Highly-rated defender Pearson made it two when he headed home a McConville free-kick at the far post.
The third came through McConville when he fired home from 25 yards on 84 minutes.
And one minute later it was McConville who scored the goal of the game when he let fly from near the halfway line, beating Orient goalkeeper Charlie Grainger with an effort that bounced in off the crossbar.
Pearson celebrated his seventh of the season, sliding home in added time, to give Stanley their biggest win of the season that moved them 12 points clear of the relegation zone.
But it was agony for Orient, who now prop up the EFL and lost experienced defender Nicky Hunt to injury.

The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) spotted the powerful TOS-1 Buratino multiple rocket launcher in Luhansk.
Meanwhile, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France discussed peace efforts in Ukraine, with Paris and Kiev saying the pullout of light weapons would start on Saturday.
Moscow denies arming the rebels.
It also rejects accusations by Ukraine and the West that it is sending heavy weapons to the pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
However, the Kremlin admits that Russian "volunteers" are fighting alongside the rebels.
The OSCE, which is monitoring the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, said in a statement that it found the Buratino on a military training ground run by the so-called People's Republic of Luhansk in the village of Kruhlyk.
The rockets have two types of warhead - either incendiary, which can spread flames over tens of kilometres, or thermobaric, which sucks up oxygen to boost the explosion.
A spokesman for the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine told the BBC the discovery was particularly significant because of the damage the rockets could cause.
"This is a very destructive weapon which is fired indiscriminately," he said.
Russian-made Grad rockets have been used by both sides in the conflict, but the Buratino is a more powerful system.

Ukraine crisis: Russia tests new weapons
Ukraine 'can't stop Russian armour'
Ukraine's military previously said the Buratino - nicknamed "scorched earth" in Russia - had been used against government troops in rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
But the OSCE told the BBC the sighting on 25 September was the first it had on record.
Only Russia produces the system, according to defence analysis group IHS Jane's and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Russian troops used it in Afghanistan in the 1980s against the Mujahideen and in Chechnya against separatist rebels in 1999-2000.
Russia has sold a more advanced version - Solntsepyok ("heat of the sun") - to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Iraq.
However, experts say the Buratino was not exported to Ukraine before the conflict in the east of the country broke out last year.
In Paris, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday for the first time since they agreed a peace deal for Ukraine in Minsk in February.
The so-called Normandy Four meeting assessed all elements of the deal, including the staging of local elections in the rebel-held regions and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line of contact.
Mr Hollande said the pullout would start on Friday, with Mr Poroshenko later confirming this.
The government in Kiev and the pro-Russian rebels earlier finally agreed to withdraw weapons of less than 100mm calibre from the front line.
Mr Poroshenko said this process would then continue in stages and should be completed within 41 days.
The French leader also said the elections in the rebel areas must be held according to Ukrainian law, as envisaged in the Minsk peace deal.
This point was reiterated by Mrs Merkel, who also noticed "progress" during the talks.
Mr Poroshenko said that the four leaders had supported the idea of the elections based exclusively on Ukrainian legislation and in the presence of OSCE observers, who should be granted full access.
However, the rebels said before the Paris meeting that they still intended to proceed with staging local elections on their terms.
Kiev says such elections - to be held on different dates from the rest of Ukraine and not according to Ukrainian law - would be "fake".
President Putin's office did not provide details of the Paris talks, saying only in a brief statement that the participants "synchronised watches" on the implementation of the key points of the Minsk deal.
Alan Forsyth's double means the Scots will face Austria after finishing third in a pool topped by Ireland.
"It was an ugly win," Derek Forsyth told Scottish Hockey.
"It's a game we'll learn from, but we'll need to raise our standards up to where they were in our previous games if we want to progress."
Wales face Italy, Ireland play Poland, while France take on Ukraine in Thursday's quarter-finals.
France topped their pool by beating Wales 1-0, while Ireland finished top of the other pool after Matthew Nelson's goal secured a 1-0 win over Italy.
Ireland started their campaign off with a 9-2 hammering of Ukraine following by a shoot-out win over Austria after a 1-1 draw.
The Scots had lost 3-1 to France and also suffered a penalty shoot-out defeat after a 2-2 draw with Wales before beating the Poles.
They now face an Austrian side who beat Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw, lost that shootout with Ireland then beat Ukraine 4-2 in their pool.
"In the end, we won the match without playing as well as we know we can, so that's pleasing," said Forsyth ahead of Thursday's quarter-final.
"But we'll look to improve on this performance."
Alan Forsyth opened the scoring for the Scots against the Poles after only two minutes.
The Poles, who had lost 3-1 to both Wales and France, were denied by good saves from David Forrester before Dominic Kotulski equalised after half-time.
As the Poles pressed for a winner, Forsyth secured a victory with a solo goal.

She will be joined by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at the ceremony on the Queensferry Crossing on 4 September.
The £1.35bn bridge will open to traffic on 30 August, but it will close on 2 and 3 September to allow pedestrians to cross.
The opening ceremony will take place exactly 53 years after the Queen opened the Forth Road Bridge.
The new crossing will replace the existing road bridge as the main route between Edinburgh and Fife.
On the day of the Queen's visit activities will take place on both sides of the 1.7 mile bridge.
They will include a welcome address by the first minister and a blessing by the moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Scotland's Makar, Jackie Kay, will read a poem specially commissioned for the occasion and there will be live music performances.
Ms Sturgeon said: "It is very fitting that the Queensferry Crossing will be officially opened by The Queen, exactly 53 years to the day from when she opened the Forth Road Bridge.
"Importantly, this celebratory event will recognise the thousands of people who have been involved in the construction of the new bridge.
"The Queensferry Crossing is a symbol of a confident, forward-looking Scotland and - as well as providing a vital transport connection for many years to come - it is a truly iconic structure and a feat of modern engineering."

The new bridge will be closed to traffic on 2 and 3 September to allow 50,000 members of the public walk across the bridge as part of the Queensferry Crossing Experience.
Around 250,000 applied for a ballot to take part in the one-off event.
A "community day" on 5 September will give another 10,000 people from local schools and community groups an opportunity to walk across the bridge before it re-opens to traffic, with no pedestrian access, on 6 September.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said "Scotland will celebrate a moment in history" when the Queen opens the bridge.
"At this unique moment, the country will become the world's first destination to have three bridges spanning three centuries in one stunning location," he said.
"It is a time to not only celebrate Scotland as a nation of pioneering innovation, design and engineering, but also give thanks all those who have worked tirelessly to create this unique new structure.
"People are fascinated worldwide by bridges, whether it's for their beauty, grandeur or breath-taking engineering prowess. The addition of the Queensferry Crossing consolidates the Forth Bridges as global icons of Scotland and we look forward to showcasing all three awe-inspiring structures to the world for many years to come."
Many people have shared their memories of him with the BBC - here is a selection.
Mark O'Connor photographed Status Quo at the Silverstone Classic motor event in 2015 - above is one of his images of Rick Parfitt in action.
"Rick certainly knew where the camera was!" he recalled.
"My memory is of my mum rocking to the Quo in the 80s.
"One of her ambitions was to see them live before she died. She did and passed away in 1991."
Denise Edwards worked with Rick back in 1966 when she was 15 and he was 17.
"He was an apprentice mechanic and I was receptionist in a garage in Woking. He was quite shy," she told the BBC.
"His father pushed him into doing something, and not mess around with guitars. He was killing time before his big break in the music industry.
"I paid him his weekly salary of £5! Two years ago I was lucky enough to meet up with him after his concert at the Hammersmith Apollo. We caught up on the old days.
"It's so sad to hear of his death. It's like the closing of a chapter."
Katty O'Rourke met the group the day after their concert at Bridlington Spa in 1982 and had her photograph taken with Rick.
Many people have been offering their condolences via Twitter.
Singer Katy Burgess tweeted that she met Rick at the @LechladeFest after sharing a line up with Status Quo with them.
Mark Bickley is a huge fan, having seen Status Quo hundreds of times.
"Rick Parfitt was an absolute gentleman, a lovely guy. He was the rhythm machine and backbone of the band," he said.
"It's a shock to hear he's died. I'm absolutely numb. We've lost an icon of rock.
"The photo with myself and my daughters (below) shows what the man was like. He'll be sorely missed."
David Snelson was captain of HMS Ark Royal when the band filmed Jam Side Down on deck.
"They joined by helicopter in Lyme Bay back in 2002. We took them back to Portsmouth while doing sea trials," he recalled.
"They were good company and entertaining shipmates - particularly Rick."
Tim Matthews is a big Status Quo fan, having seen them more than 40 times in concert.
"I met Rick Parftitt just after his first heart operation. He showed me the scar!" he told the BBC.
"He could not have been nicer and we chatted for ages. He was a really, really lovely bloke."
Richard Callihan has been a fan of Status Quo since first hearing the song Pictures of Matchstick Men in 1969.
"Because I live in Western Canada I never had the opportunity to see them until I finally flew to the UK and watched them play at Holkham Hall in 2014," he said.
"It was a dream come true. Rick will be missed by many rock fans the world over."

A BBC correspondent in the city says a lorry was used to attack the Jazeera Palace Hotel near the airport.
He said it was one of the worst scenes of destruction he has witnessed in Mogadishu.
Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The al-Qaeda linked group said it was responding to assaults by an African Union force and the Somali government.
The blasts came as US President Barack Obama was leaving Kenya for Ethiopia, at the end of a trip during which he had discussions about dealing with the threat from al-Shabab.
The US condemned the "abhorrent" attack which "purposefully and cruelly targeted innocent civilians," a National Security Council statement said.
International diplomats often stay at Jazeera Palace Hotel, which has been targeted in the past. It also accommodates several embassies including those of China, Qatar and Egypt.
A Chinese embassy worker was among the dead as well as three members of the hotel staff, the BBC's Mohamed Moalimu reports.
Al-Shabab is battling Somalia's government for control of the country. While security in Somalia has improved, the group still attacks Mogadishu regularly.
On Saturday, a member of the Somali parliament and an official from the prime minister's office were killed in separate attacks in the capital claimed by al-Shabab.
In recent days the group has lost two of its remaining strongholds - the south-western town of Bardere and the south-eastern town of Dinsor. Both had been under al-Shabab control since 2008.
The militants have also targeted neighbouring countries, killing almost 150 people in an assault on Garissa University College in Kenya in April.
The claim: Vote Leave says the UK cannot lower VAT rates as long as it is in the European Union. Michael Gove said the 5% rate of VAT on household gas and electricity bills could not be scrapped because of EU rules.
Reality Check verdict: EU rules mean the UK cannot reduce VAT on goods and services below 15%, the standard rate of VAT in the EU. The standard rate of VAT in the UK is 20%, so the government could reduce it by up to 5% today if it wanted. Domestic fuel is on a special list of pre-approved goods and services that are subject to lower VAT rates and it would require the agreement of all other EU members to reduce it further.
Under EU rules, countries must apply a minimum standard VAT rate of 15%. They have an option of applying one or two reduced rates, no lower than 5%, to certain specified goods on a pre-approved list.
Further reduction of the VAT rate, including to 0%, is also allowed but only for the goods which were taxed at that rate before 1991 and since then.
Changes to the VAT rules require unanimous agreement of all 28 EU countries.
The UK's standard VAT rate is 20%, so, within the current rules, the UK government has some flexibility to bring it down to 15%, if it wanted to.
It is right to say the UK cannot remove the VAT on household gas and electricity bills.
Although the UK charged 0% VAT on domestic fuel bills in 1991, the Conservative government introduced a VAT rate of 8% in 1993. This was later lowered to 5% under Labour. Under the EU rules, this is now the lowest VAT rate possible for British domestic fuel bills.
It is worth pointing out that it is not at all clear that a post-Brexit UK government would want to remove VAT on domestic fuel. This would depend, among other things, on the wider economic impact of leaving.
In April 2016, the European Commission proposed changes to EU VAT rules with the aim of giving member states more flexibility on rates.
There are currently two options being considered.
The first would allow all EU countries the same rights to apply zero and reduced VAT rates and the list of goods and services in this category would be reviewed on a regular basis.
The second would allow members to set reduced rates as they wished, as long as that did not create tax distortions in the single market.
Once this is established, and the European Parliament's views are taken into account, the Commission will draw up detailed proposals.
The finance ministers of all 28 EU countries will have to agree to these proposals unanimously before they can be implemented. There is no timetable or deadline for these changes, but the European Commission is working towards having the detailed proposals this year or next.
The EU is currently dealing with allowing the UK to lower the VAT on sanitary products to 0%. The EU finance ministers have endorsed the plan, which the European Commission pledged to finalise in 2016.

All diesel sold in the EU needs to contain a percentage of fuel made from crops such as rapeseed.
But there are allegations that some operators in Poland are exporting biodiesel to the rest of Europe that should be consumed within the country.
It is believed that they are then passing off regular diesel as the blended variety in the domestic market.
The European Biodiesel Board (EBB), which represents suppliers across 21 states, says they have seen "signals and suspicious activities" that all is not as it should be with Polish biodiesel exports.
Instead of blending rapeseed oil or other renewable sources with regular diesel to produce a biofuel, the EBB believes that some suppliers are meeting the obligation to provide green fuel at home by simply adding extra diesel to the mix and reserving the fuel made from crops.
"This could be based either on fraud or on a loophole of the Polish legislation, which may not be accurate to verify that the actual physical blending of the fuels has happened," the Secretary General of the EBB, Raffaello Garofalo told BBC News.
"It may be the authorities are just happy with an invoice which is shown to them that somebody has purchased biodiesel - but then there may not be a physical check that they are blended, this might be the question mark."
As part of the EU's climate and energy strategy, the Commission put in place regulations that mandate a growing amount of fuel from renewable sources, such as rapeseed, cooking oil and other waste products.
The aim is to reduce carbon emissions from cars and trucks, but the policy has been criticised as it encourages farmers to use land for fuel instead of food.
In 2014 5% of fuels used for transport in the EU were grown as crops, with the majority turned into biodiesel.
According to the EBB, the amount of fuel being sold to the European market from Poland is believed to be around 30 million litres per month, making the country one of the EU's biggest producers.
"It is a huge quantity, and it is sold at a price which is the cost of the raw material without even the cost of the transformation into biodiesel," said Mr Garofalo.
"It is something that you cannot compete with, and these huge quantities are depressing the system."
There are also concerns, raised by others experts, that black market diesel from Russia, Belarus and the Baltic states is being mixed with regular diesel in Poland and sold as a biofuel.
This allows unscrupulous dealers to "launder" the black market diesel, while also benefitting from the sales of legitimate biodiesel to European markets including the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and France.
The EBB have warned operators who might buy any of this fuel that there could be repercussions. They say they have complained to the Polish authorities and to the European Commission and are demanding an enquiry.
"We can confirm that the Commission has received a complaint regarding biodiesel exports from Poland," said an EU spokesperson in a statement to BBC News.
"The Commission is currently analysing the information provided by the complainant."
The scale of biodiesel production in Poland is mostly based on rapeseed where more than 70% of the harvest is used as a raw material for the production of fuel.
The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), the most widely used biofuel certification body in the EU, says it is concerned about the biodiesel reports from Poland.
"ISCC is taking the allegations seriously, and is ready to take appropriate actions to verify the allegations and to implement relevant measures if necessary. However, ISCC has up to now not received any concrete evidence from EBB which will be vital to focus investigations," they said in a statement.
People in the biofuels industry in Poland said they didn't accept the allegations.
"I cannot say that it is true or not, but I don't believe in the volumes because I know what the general production is," said Adam Stepien who is the director general of the Polish Biofuels Chamber, a body that represents manufacturers in Poland.
"But this suggestion could mean that there are no biofuels on the Polish market, I don't believe it," he told BBC News.
The EBB says that the continued selling of ultra-cheap biodiesel is a "flagrant breach of EU laws and principles."
"We know that the EU Commission is extremely worried, we know that the EU certification schemes are very worried," said Raffaello Garofalo.
"We can say that things hopefully will be moving very, very quickly because market wise it is a big problem."

The Colombian spent the 2014-15 season on loan at Manchester United and then joined Chelsea last term.
Neither spell was a success, with Falcao scoring four goals in 29 appearances for United and once in 12 for Chelsea.
He did not make Colombia's Copa America squad and now intends to restart his career with Monaco, where he has two years remaining on his contract.
"June 24 will initiate training with @asmonaco," Falcao wrote on Instagram. "Excited and committed to start the pre-season with the club."
At least five people have been arrested in recent days, including activists accused of running Facebook pages supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and calling for protests.
The offices of an independent news website were also raided and its managing editor was detained.
Officials have warned against protests marking the 25 January revolution.
Operations have intensified in recent weeks and several other people have been reportedly arrested.
Sites popular with activists have also been shut down to prevent anniversary gatherings.
Two of those detained were identified as a 26-year-old man responsible for 41 Facebook pages and a 22-year-old woman who managed six sites, interior ministry spokesman Abu Bakr Abdel Karim was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
Facebook and other social media sites have been used to organise protests and rallies, and several groups have called for demonstrations on the anniversary of the uprising that toppled President Mubarak in 2011.
"The administrators of these pages were arrested on charges of inciting against state institutions and spreading the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as calling for marches on the coming 25 January," Mr Abdel Karim said.
"The ministry will continue to stand against these terrorist pages that have long incited violence against state institutions and made fun of the major incidents experienced by the country recently."
Security forces also raided the offices of the independent news website Masr al-Arabiya. Its managing editor Ahmed Abdel Gawad was reportedly released after being arrested on Thursday.
Authorities have expressed concern over protests and Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has warned that another revolution could "ruin the country."
Religious leaders have also warned against protests.
As former armed forces chief, Mr Sisi led the army's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi, an ex-Muslim Brotherhood official, in 2013 following mass protests.
Since then, more than 1,000 people have been killed and 40,000 are believed to have been jailed in a crackdown on dissent. Most of them have been supporters of the Brotherhood, which was banned in 2013.
But secular and liberal activists have also been prosecuted for breaking a 2013 anti-protest law that gives the interior ministry the power to ban gatherings of more than 10 people.
Last year, the government approved a anti-terrorism legislation which activists said further eroded basic rights and enshrined a permanent state of emergency.
Predictions of an abrupt economic slowdown are "destined to come to nothing", said Xu Shaoshi, head of China's state planning agency.
China's National People's Congress on Saturday lowered the economic growth target for 2016 to a range of 6.5%-7%.
Last year, China's goal was "about 7%", but the economy actually grew by 6.9%.
That was the lowest expansion in 25 years.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced the lower growth range in his opening speech at the annual meeting in Beijing, warning of a "difficult battle" ahead.
Why China's National People's Congress matters
Mr Xu, who heads up the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said that slowing growth in the broader world economy posed difficulties for China this year.
"First, we estimate the slow recovery and low growth rates in the world's economy will continue for a period of time," he told reporters on the sidelines of the People's Congress.
"Also we could not overlook the risks from unstable [global] financial markets, falling prices of commodities and risks of geopolitics."
The People's Congress, which meets once a year, sets out to determine both the economic and political agenda for the country.
It comes at a time when China is struggling with slowing economic growth and a shift away from overreliance on manufacturing and heavy industry.
Under China's 1982 constitution, the most powerful organ of state is meant to be the National People's Congress, China's parliament. Critics argue though that it is little more than a rubber stamp for party decisions.
The congress is made up of nearly 3,000 delegates elected by China's provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and the armed forces. Delegates hold office for five years, and the full congress is convened for one session each year.
This sporadic and unwieldy nature means that real influence lies within a standing committee of about 150 members elected from congress delegates. It meets every couple of months.
In theory, the congress has the powers to change the constitution and make laws. But it is not seen as an independent body in the Western sense of a parliament.
And at the end of the prime minister's first major summit there are questions that will follow her home. No more so than on how she really proposes to control immigration from the European Union. Having ruled out the points-based system that was promised by the winning side in the referendum, her answer on what might come instead? Simply, wait and see.
Downing Street officials are acutely aware they may come under increasing pressure to give more details. They face calls for clarity from allies too, as country after country expressed economic concerns about our planned departure.
But while it comes with political risk, at this summit the prime minister is displaying perhaps a significant contrast to her predecessor - choosing to work up the detail first, then make the decision, rather than make a decision and then make the details fit.
In the case of Hinkley Point, to the fury of the Chinese, a decision that was made before her tenure may even be unpicked.
In the last 36 hours, in the airless bubble of this enormous summit, Theresa May has not had an easy series of meetings. But she has shown that she wants to be a leader who will do things in her own way and in her own time, not beholden to the promises of the referendum, or those in charge before.
The 20,000 sq ft BHS store closed its doors last summer after the company collapsed.
Work by Aldi to turn the current unit into an "operational space" is due to start shortly.
The new store is expected to open later this year but a specific date has yet to be fixed.
Cameron Toll Shopping Centre manager Jim Riddell said: "Letting the former BHS unit so soon after it closed in August 2016 is extremely positive for the centre and for the other retailers who operate here.
"Aldi will bring many more shoppers into the centre which is already home to well-known brands including The Entertainer, Game, New Look and Costa Coffee."
Earlier this week, councillors in Edinburgh approved plans to turn the former flagship BHS store on Princes Street into a hotel and restaurant.
The animal welfare charity said it was unusual that nobody had come forward to claim the bird since it was found on Friday.
The RSPCA has not issued a photograph of the bird as it wants the owner to describe its striking colours before it will be handed over.

Anyone who may have information can contact the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
The plan envisages greater co-ordination in areas like EU-led peacekeeping missions outside the bloc.
However, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini stressed that the bloc did not intend to compete with Nato or create a European army.
She added that the plan was under consideration before Donald Trump's victory in US presidential elections.
During the campaign, Mr Trump suggested that Washington may not automatically come to the aid of a Nato ally under attack, criticising low levels of defence spending by some EU members of the military alliance.
The defence plan was agreed at a meeting of EU defence and foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.
"This is a qualitative leap in the European Union's security and defence," Ms Mogherini told reporters, while French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that "Europe needs to be able to act for its own security".
Ms Mogherini said the EU would not be competing with Nato but rather would strengthen the alliance, and nor would it be creating an EU army or a military headquarters.
What it would seek to do is to provide far-greater co-ordination in areas like peacekeeping missions to African countries, naval efforts to reduce refugee flows, and defence spending and research by EU countries on items like drones and helicopters, she said.
The aim of all of these was to make both the EU and its citizens safer at home and abroad in an uncertain world, Ms Mogherini added.
The EU action plan has been a year in the making, conceived after last year's Paris attacks left Europeans feeling vulnerable, the BBC's Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports.
But it has been given added impetus by Mr Trump's warnings that he expects Europe to pay more of the bills for its own defence, our correspondent adds.
He says that Brexit has also boosted the plan, because the UK has traditionally blocked such Franco-German initiatives to give the EU a greater security dimension.
Along the way they were trapped by a blizzard, hugged by Taylor Swift and overwhelmed by The Great British Bake Off.
The group achieved success after singer Olly Alexander gave up a promising acting career - appearing on stage with Dame Judi Dench, a role in Channel 4 drama Skins - to pursue music with Emre Turkmen (synths) and Mikey Goldsworthy (bass).
Communion was inspired by Alexander's teenage diary and his tumultuous love life ("they're rejection songs," he told the BBC last year). Critics praised his "angelic melisma" as well as the record's "ace melodies and emotional frankness".
Ahead of the announcement of the Sound of 2016 next week, the band visited the BBC to reflect on their breakthrough year.
Olly: It was nuts. We'd barely given anyone an interview and suddenly we were on Radio One and on the news. It felt like it was happening to someone else.
Emre: It was exciting. It was really exciting.
Olly: We were like, 'We're a real band!'
Emre: Now we know where everything is in this building. The coffee machines, the toilets, everything.
Mikey: Knocking Ellie Goulding off number one was the best part!
Olly: We were on tour in Glasgow when we found out and I was really sick. I was lying down in the dressing room and Emre leaned over and said, "It's going to go to number one!" I just cried.
Mikey: I have the statue on my bedside table, and I look at it every morning and every night. No one can take that away from us.
Olly: We were up for the Critics' Choice and we didn't win it - but Taylor Swift hugged me, so I'll live forever now.
Mikey: We went over to New York to do two shows, but then they had a massive blizzard and we had to cancel.
Olly: I don't know if anyone's ever seen the news in America, but they really over-egg a lot of stuff. It was like: "Everyone stay indoors! Don't leave the house! People are going to die!"
Emre: But the blizzard didn't stop me and Mikey from taking a trip around downtown New York to find some donuts.
Olly: The next day we woke up and there was, like, an inch of snow.
Emre: This was the rescheduled show in New York. Katy Perry was in the audience, but we didn't actually tell Olly because he was ill again.
Olly: I'm always sick.
Emre: He'd just come from the doctor who'd given him adrenalin shots or something.
Olly: Yeah, they gave me a shot in my bum. Loads of steroids. And then I was meeting Katy Perry. It was all very weird.
She was pretty casual. She had an entourage of, like, poets and violinists. All these cool women. But she was pretty low-key. She was really nice. She told me to take zinc, which I didn't do.
Emre: We picked the worst letter to start our name with. Right at the end of the alphabet. The CD's hidden at the back of HMV. That's why Adele's so popular.
Olly: We should get ahead of her by changing our name to 00Aardvark.
Olly: It was just ridiculous. There were posters on the tube and everything. I couldn't believe people would actually go out and buy it. But they did, so thanks.
Emre: And now my parents have stopped bugging me about getting a proper job. That was a good result.
The video for King was watched more than 100 million times.
Olly: We got a special certificate for that! The video felt very serendipitous. We wanted to make it in LA with dancers. Then Ryan Heffington the choreographer got in touch with me over Instagram. I was like, "Oh my God, let's work together" and he was up for it.
I actually got the idea of the dancers moving us around because I'd seen that in an art piece before. I felt it represented the song very well because it's about being manipulated. It hurt quite a lot - but the worst bit was getting in the pool, because it was freezing cold.
Emre: We had some dancers touch us up. It was great. But my highlight video-wise is Mikey's acting in Shine, when he's looking at the fridge, puzzled.
Mikey: I've been nominated for a few awards for that. What was in the fridge? Vegetables and a few eggs.
Mikey: These guys watch [The Great British] Bake Off late at night on the tour bus to wind down. I watch [The] Walking Dead.
Olly: I cried when Nadiyah [Hussain] won! I found it quite emotional when Nadia won Big Brother 10 years ago too. It must be something about people called Nadia.
Mikey: But actually the highlight of the year was The Apprentice: The Final Five. They used Shine and King over the highlights.
Olly: It was the first Glastonbury for all of us - and we were all nervous as hell - but it was such a good moment. My mum loved it.
Emre: I had to watch it on the BBC iPlayer a couple of days later because it just went by in a blur. I was just dazed. I couldn't remember it.
Olly: We haven't really had time to write this year. Just tiny bits. I like to write by myself in a room with a piano, which never happens any more.
Emre: We're just gearing up towards thinking about writing, really.
Olly: We're going to try to pull something special together. Do some more songs, do some covers.
Emre: Get a hologram of Rihanna.
Olly: I want to get a swing so I can swing around the arena.
Emre: Some controversy and scandal would be great.
Olly: Some outfit changes. Nudity.
Emre: Mikey's going to show a nipple.
Mikey: Actually, I'll be naked.
Emre: With just a sock. On your head.
Years & Years' debut album, Communion, is out now. The top five acts in the BBC Music Sound of 2016 will be revealed next week.
The hearing was due to decide if Ms Stewart can practice again.
Kirsteen Stewart was working at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary when the incidents took place between October 2007 and March 2010.
In 2010 Ms Stewart was suspended for 18 months by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
The NMC said she administered drugs which contributed to the foetus of one or more pregnant women experiencing a condition that caused a slow heart rate.
The ruling came after Grampian health board said it was investigating the care of 22 mothers and babies at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital over a two-year period.
Just seconds after home right-back Conor Coady had coolly cleared off the line from Britt Assombalonga, Wolves broke straight away down the right.
Andreas Weimann squared for Dicko to tuck home, before Forest's Danny Fox was sent off in stoppage time.
The hosts' fifth straight win leaves Forest two points clear of trouble.
Paul Lambert's Wolves are now a much healthier 11 points above the relegation zone with a game in hand on many of the teams below them, who have just six matches left to play.
A generally frustrating night could have turned out differently after Wolves were clearly hindered by the loss of record signing Helder Costa, who pulled out after aggravating an ankle injury in the pre-match warm-up, to be replaced by Dicko.
Assombalonga was close to scoring early on when he cut inside and tested Wolves keeper Andy Lonergan with a low right-foot shot saved at his near post.
Dicko then went close at the other end with a low left-foot shot just wide, while Ben Marshall sent a right-foot curler just past the post after the break.
Forest then seemed certain to break the deadlock when Wolves found themselves outnumbered. But, after a desperate tackle from Ivan Cavaleiro, the covering Coady got back to clear on the line - and Wolves rapidly made Forest pay for their profligacy.
Wolves went down the other end, Dicko slid in from close range for only his fourth goal of the season - and a theatrical Lambert leapt high in the air in his technical area to celebrate.
Forest substitute Jamie Ward had a hooked left-foot volley saved by Lonergan, who then made a desperate save to deny another of Forest's subs, Mustapha Carayol, in the last minute of stoppage time, after Fox was sent off for a second yellow card.
But Wolves hung on for the victory that all but ensures their Championship safety.
Wolves boss Paul Lambert told BBC Sport:
"We had a bit of a doubt over Helder Costa's ankle in the warm-up, so we made the late change.
"But we had every confidence that Nouha Dicko would do a good job for us. And Ivan Cavaleiro did well too. He's a big talent.
"When he gets the ball he's exciting, but he also did well for us when he tracked back to help stop them scoring. Conor Coady on the goal line was a big moment for us and then we showed how quickly we can break."
Forest boss Mark Warburton told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"It hurts to lose in that way. We had our best chance of the game, it falls sweetly for the goalkeeper and then, 10 or 12 seconds later, it's in the back of our net.
"They are the fine margins. Goals change games, as they say. And, at the end, there was another good chance for Muzzy, but I don't think we were at our best."

Jane Haining will be the focus of a new exhibition in the Holocaust Memorial Centre in Budapest.
Spokesman Zoltan Toth-Heinmann said the Church of Scotland missionary, who grew up in Dunscore, near Dumfries, was a "unique and important" figure.
He said her inspirational story had been "neglected" in the city.
As matron at the Scottish Mission school in Budapest during the 1930s and 40s, she refused to return home despite advice from church officials, saying the children needed her in the "days of darkness".
She was arrested in 1944, charged with working amongst Jews and taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, where she died aged 47.
She was posthumously honoured by the UK government for "preserving life in the face of persecution".
Mr Toth-Heinmann said he was determined to ensure that as many people as possible learned about her and visited Scotland this week to seek inspiration for the temporary exhibition, which is going on show in the autumn.
He visited Dunscore Parish Church, the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh and Queen's Park Church in Glasgow, where the missionary worshipped before moving to Budapest in 1932.
He said: "Jane Haining's story is an important part of the Holocaust history in Budapest, and sometimes, for the general public, it might be neglected.
"She was unique because all the other players - rescuers, victims and perpetrators - were local people.
"She was the only one who had the chance to choose if she would stay there and risk her life to save children or just leave and return to Scotland."
Mr Toth-Heinmann said the exhibition would help ensure that her memory was kept alive and "illustrate her heroism to visitors".
He added: "The primary objective will be the education of young people so they can learn that sometimes it is important to make a sacrifice.
"We have various items relating to her life - artefacts, photographs and documents - which will, along with testimonies from some of her former pupils, bring her story closer to visitors."
Rev Ian Alexander, secretary of the Church of Scotland World Mission Council, said: "Jane Haining's story is heart-breaking, but also truly inspirational.
"Scottish missionaries were advised to return home from Europe during the dark days of World War Two, but Jane declined, writing: 'If these children need me in days of sunshine, how much more do they need me in days of darkness?"'
A heritage centre, which will in part tell the story of Ms Haining, is being created inside Dunscore Parish Church.
Matthew Aitken, one of the team behind the project which is expected to be open in October, said: "It is going to be amazing and so many people from the church and the local community have been involved.
"Jane Haining's story is just incredible.
"It is hard to put into words what she did and what she experienced.
"We hope that people come and see the material that we have and learn about her story for themselves."
Gloucestershire lost Phil Mustard and Ian Cockbain early on as they slumped to 29-2 from six overs and were on the back foot as they made a below-par 200.
Kent seized the initiative with Joe Denly and Daniel Bell-Drummond's 92-run opening stand putting them in control.
Denly hit eight fours and one six as Kent won by seven wickets on 203-3.
Darren Stevens hit a six to help the hosts over the line to reach 7,000 career one-day runs thanks to his 28.
Mustard joined Gloucestershire on loan from Durham on Tuesday, but will be ineligible to play against his parent club if the two sides meet in the knockout stages of the One-Day Cup, as is the case when they face each other in the T20 Blast quarter-finals on 10 August.
The 20-year-old, playing only his sixth Test, claimed 7-112 to help bowl England out for 342, a first-innings deficit of 133.
Alastair Cook and Joe Root made 76 and Moeen Ali was last out for 61.
Hashim Amla was dropped on nought as South Africa reached 42-1- a lead of 175 - before bad light ended play.
James Anderson gave England faint hope of an attainable fourth-innings chase when Dean Elgar was caught behind in the third over, and England's record wicket-taker then saw Amla put down by a diving Alex Hales at third slip.
But Rabada's heroics will make the home side - 2-0 down in the series - confident of a consolation victory.
England resumed on 138-2 and lost four wickets for 73 runs in the 26 overs bowled before lunch. Cook and Root had calmly negotiated the first 13 of them but Morne Morkel began an impressive spell that yielded a collapse.
The big fast bowler produced a near unplayable delivery to Cook, with pace and steepling bounce that found the edge and was smartly taken by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.
Then Rabada utilised the overcast conditions to devastating effect, bowling a consistently dangerous line around the off stump and extracting sufficient pace and movement to find the edges.
Root, who successfully overturned a caught-behind decision off spinner Dane Piedt, had hit Rabada for three fours in an over but edged one that that nipped away off the seam.
"He is a real prospect, he's got something," former England opening batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Test Match Special.
"You would think he would learn a lot from bowling with Dale Steyn when he comes back into the side. The world is his oyster."
James Taylor, who struck his first ball delightfully down the ground for four, appeared intent on hooking anything short and a swipe at Rabada resulted in an edge to the wicketkeeper.
That forced Jonny Bairstow to begin his innings on the stroke of lunch and he fell third ball as another rising delivery from Rabada brushed his glove, which ended the morning session with England losing three wickets for three runs in 18 balls.
Cape Town hero Ben Stokes launched Piedt for four and a towering six in an over but he was caught at slip for 33 off Rabada in the first over with the new ball.
Moeen, who was dropped on 45, brought up a first Test fifty in 15 innings before he was last out, caught at deep point.
With the pitch showing signs of uneven bounce, England's chances of victory - with two days remaining - appear slim.
Boycott said: "I don't think England can win from here. They haven't got a cat in hell's chance. All they can do is try to save the game."
Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher told TMS: "South Africa are on top but they're not out of danger yet.
"What if England come back tomorrow and bowl them out for 80? It's not impossible."
One concern for the Proteas in the fourth innings is opening bowler Kyle Abbott, who left the field with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to bowl again in this match.
Play on Sunday will start earlier at 08:04 GMT to make up for the overs lost to rain.
Tigers have already secured a play-off spot and are likely to face Saracens at Allianz Park in the semi-finals.
Saturday's trip to The Rec is the Tigers' first since their 47-10 semi-final defeat 12 months ago.
"Part of me would like to send the best team to knock lumps out of them, but the reality is that we need to put egos in our pocket," said Cockerill.
"We have to look after our squad and be sensible. We need to make sure we get it right for the semi and try to win the competition."
Leicester suffered two heavy defeats at The Rec in 2014-15, their play-off exit coming after they were beaten 45-0 - their heaviest-ever loss in the Premiership.
"The history of our last two games at The Rec aren't particularly good ones, but you have to put ego to one side and focus on the semi-final," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"While we want to put in a good performance and win, it's not our first thought really.
"We will send a side that is fresh and hungry to play, but we will make sure that we rest guys and look after guys for the semi."
England centre Manu Tuilagi will remain sidelined for another week after suffering a knee injury in Tigers' European Champions Cup semi-final defeat by Racing 92 last month, but he will be fit for the start of the Premiership play-offs.
Brendon O'Connor will also be fit for the semi-final, but scrum-half Sam Harrison is out for the rest of the season after fracturing bones in his face and breaking his nose in Leicester's 31-17 win over Worcester.
Capt Matthew Ball paid for Qismat Amin's airline ticket after the interpreter waited nearly four years for a special immigrant visa.
A Trump administration travel ban affects seven mainly Muslim countries, but Afghanistan is not among them.
Capt Ball bought the ticket in case the ban was expanded to Afghanistan.
"I'm so happy," the officer said after welcoming Mr Amin to San Francisco International Airport on Wednesday.
"Yeah, it feels great. I'm happy to see him. I'm sort of overwhelmed. He's here. It's been a long time."
For now, Mr Amin will live with Capt Ball and his wife, Giselle Rahn, in Palo Alto, California.
Mr Amin reportedly went into hiding after receiving death threats from the Taliban for working with American troops.
His visa arrived two days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending the US refugee programme and temporarily banning immigration from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
Capt Ball paid for the $1,000 (£800) ticket after US officials suggested the ban could be extended to other countries.
Mr Amin told AP news agency he was nervous before the trip, but that quickly changed once he stepped off the plane to see Americans holding signs emblazoned with the words: "Welcome to America" and "Welcome Home".
"Right now, I don't know what to say," he said. "I forgot my words.
"Actually this has made me much, much stronger, seeing people with the welcome signs.
"I feel like I got a huge family right now, and I got a big family in Afghanistan."

Mr Amin said he wanted to call his mother to let her know he arrived safely, before going to see the ocean for the first time.
Capt Ball, a law student at Stanford University, organised a letter campaign with other students to press Congress on Mr Amin's visa.
The former Army ranger said Mr Amin had protected him during a mission in one of Afghanistan's most dangerous areas.
He said the US government needed to accelerate the often years-long visa process for Afghan interpreters and cultural advisers who live in constant danger.
More than 13,000 Afghans and their immediate family members are still waiting for a special immigrant visa for helping American troops, according to the State Department.
The customised white Kangoo was presented to the pontiff by French carmaker Renault.
Benedict XVI has been dubbed "the green pope" for his environmental concerns.
Since he became Pope, the Vatican has installed photovoltaic cells in its main auditorium and joined a project to offset carbon dioxide emissions.
The city state intends that by 2020, 20% of its electricity will be provided by renewable energy.
Renault said the Kangoo Maxi van, which has the Papal coat of arms on its doors, has a 44 kilowatt electric motor and lithium-ion battery and can travel 170km (105 miles) without recharging.
Renault also handed over a second car, which is blue, to be used by the Vatican's police force.
The vehicles were presented to the Pope on Wednesday at Castel Gandolfo, in the Alban Hills south of Rome, by Renault chairman Carlos Ghosn, before being unveiled to the press on Thursday.
The Pope used his new car on Wednesday to travel from the helipad at Castel Gandolfo through the gardens back to his palazzo, the Vatican said.
He was returning after presiding over his weekly audience at the Vatican.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the Pontiff's Kangoo would not be a new Popemobile as it lacked the necessary security features.
The current Popemobile is based on the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and has bulletproof windows.
What does this mean for the Irish border?
For now nothing changes - the UK is still in the EU so people and goods can continue to move freely across the frontier. But when the UK leaves there could be changes.
The current free movement of people is allowed by an arrangement known as the Common Travel Area (CTA). It pre-dates the creation of the EU. Both the UK and Irish governments will push to see it continue. But we can't be certain that it will - some legal experts suggest it could only continue with the agreement of other EU countries.
In a contingency plan published on Friday the Irish government said "preserving the benefits of the CTA will be a key priority in the context of UK-EU negotiations". The nature of any trade deal with the EU will decide whether customs checks return to the border.
The Irish contingency plan says it will explore options to "minimise the impact of checks on trade flows" which will involve discussions with HM Revenue and Customs and the UK government.
What does it mean for business investment?
The Northern Ireland economy relies heavily on foreign direct investment for providing well paying, high productivity jobs. One of Northern Ireland's attractions to foreign-owned companies is that it provides access to the single market. That access will probably be reduced when the UK leaves the EU.
The Ulster Bank economist Richard Ramsey says the the referendum result "raises questions about the ability to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in the future". He adds that until there is clarity around what our new trading arrangements will be, NI could be seen as a no-go zone for some FDI.
Invest NI, the agency tasked with attracting foreign investment, has sought to play that down. Its chief executive, Alastair Hamilton, said "we are confident that Northern Ireland will continue to succeed as an attractive location for inward investment, in particular from our largest target market, the USA; and that the reduction in corporation tax will play an invaluable role in creating a business-friendly environment to support job creation".
Currency movements
Perhaps the most dramatic market move on Friday was the steep fall in the value of the pound against other currencies. That should bring short-term benefits to exporters. A significant proportion of Northern Ireland's exports, such as food are price sensitive. A weaker pound makes those goods cheaper to buy abroad and so they should gain market share.
Similarly, it should be good for tourism as it makes Northern Ireland a cheaper destination for people travelling from the eurozone or US. But currency movements are a double-edged sword. A weaker pound will make imports more expensive. Fuel prices could be first to go up as oil is traded in dollars. The Petrol Retailers Association, said that a rise of 2p-3p a litre was on the cards as early as next week.
What happens to farm subsidies?
With complex negotiations over an exit, the existing subsidy scheme is likely to be guaranteed until 2019. After that the Leave camp has promised a British agriculture policy or BAP to replace the existing Common Agriculture Policy known as CAP.
But will it add up to the £260m paid out to farmers here by the EU last year? With farm incomes down across all sectors, producers have come to rely on the cheques from Europe. Those backing exit have said subsidy levels will be maintained and the payments tailored to local needs. Opponents say there's no guarantee and successive British governments have tried to reduce direct payments during CAP reform.
Questions have also been asked about where farming will come in the pecking order for the redistribution of money previously paid to the EU budget.
What happens to the cross-border agri-food trade?
Northern Ireland has a healthy trading relationship with the Republic of Ireland. In 2014, £560m of dairy, beef, sheep, pig and poultry was sold to the market across the border.
For now, that all moves seamlessly across the border. Questions now revolve around what the new trading arrangements will be. Whether there will be tariffs and custom controls that might add cost and reduce competitiveness.
The Leave camp says it will not be a problem, that technology will grease the wheels of cross-border trade. The Irish Republic and other EU export markets are important to Northern Ireland agri-food businesses. But most of what is produced in NI is sold within the UK.
What does this mean for the environment?
A raft of rules around things like habitats, waste, water and air quality are driven by EU regulations and directives.
Much of this has been done by legislating for them in domestic law. If those laws are not repealed it is assumed they will continue to apply. In some cases they are more stringent than the European ones.
What will change is the need to prove to the EU that targets under those rules are being kept or risk penalties.
What happens to healthcare in Northern Ireland & the rest of the UK?
The way people access healthcare in Northern Ireland on a day-to-day basis is unlikely to be affected by the vote to leave the EU. The same goes for when using services in England, Scotland or Wales. The NI Executive has made clear it is committed to providing a health service that's free at the point of use. Most other EU countries do not have national health services, with most relying on medical insurance style systems for their healthcare.
What happens to healthcare when travelling in Europe?
For many people from Northern Ireland heading off on European holidays, packing a European Health Insurance Card - or EHIC - is a must.
This card, which is free, currently means travellers can avail of state-provided medical help for any condition or injury that requires urgent treatment, in any other country within the EU. The EHIC covers Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein as well, even though they are not EU members.
Will the EIHC still be valid in the future? At the moment it is far from clear and much will depend on the deal the UK can negotiate with the EU.
What about staff?
It's hard to get accurate figures on the numbers of EU medical staff working in each trust area here - the last census, which dates from 2011, recorded 83,000 people from elsewhere in the EU living in Northern Ireland. Of that group 37,000 were from the Republic of Ireland.
There is no doubt that during the referendum there were concerns from those on the Remain side that Brexit would make it harder to recruit and hold on to foreign staff. However, those who backed the Leave vote argued if the UK was outside the EU it could still admit foreign health staff under a visa system which recognised essential skills.
What impact will the referendum result have on local universities?
In the aftermath of the vote there is uncertainty, but any impacts are unlikely to be immediate.
The main concerns will centre on funding from the EU for research, and the ability to attract EU and international students to study in Northern Ireland. Most leaders of UK universities were firmly in the Remain camp prior to the referendum. The Queen's University (QUB) vice-chancellor Patrick Johnston was one of 103 university vice-chancellors who signed an open letter prior to the vote warning of the impact of an exit.
He had also previously said that "Queen's would be a very different and much poorer place, both economically and socially" without access to the opportunities EU membership provided. Sources at Ulster University (UU) have echoed many of his concerns.
Why are there concerns about EU research funding?
Both local universities benefit from research and knowledge exchanges with partner universities in the EU. They have also received millions in grants from the EU for research. QUB has received around £16m from the EU in research funding in 2016 so far, while UU has also received a number of large EU research grants this year, including a recent 1m Euro grant for psychologists at the university. Sources at both universities have expressed concerns that it will be harder to access that funding outside the EU. It is important to note, however, that the provision of a £150m loan to UU from the European Investment Bank to part-fund its new Belfast campus is unaffected by the leave vote.
Will it become harder for universities here to attract students from abroad?
This is unclear, but both QUB and UU want to more than double the number of international students they attract. In 2013/14 there were 5,950 students from outside the UK in higher education here - around 10% of the student body. Just under half came from EU countries, while the rest came from countries outside the EU, mainly in Asia. Those non-EU students pay considerably higher tuition fees than local or EU students. Sources at both universities have expressed concerns that it might now become harder to attract students from other EU countries and from farther afield to Northern Ireland.
What about Northern Irish students who want to study at universities in the Republic of Ireland. Will they have to pay higher fees?
Currently, students from Northern Ireland pay a tuition fee of 3,000 euros a year to study in the Republic of Ireland. However, non-EU students pay substantially more - with fees beginning at 10,000 euros a year. Would Northern Irish students be classed as non-EU in future?
In a statement to the BBC, the former dean of undergraduate studies at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Professor Patrick Geoghegan, said that TCD would do whatever was necessary to ensure that Northern Irish students were not treated as international students in the years ahead.
What will happen at the Irish border?
Some in the Remain camp argued that a vote to exit the European Union would see a return of permanent border checkpoints. Those in the Leave camp, including Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, insisted that was nonsense.
There have been such agreements, which pre-dated the European Union (EU), that allowed easier cross-border movement. However, it is unclear how those arrangements will be affected by the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

A poem and short story written by the author as a teenager were found between the pages of a biography of poet Henry Kirke White, owned by Maria Bronte.
Bronte specialist Dr Juliet Barker called the find "extraordinary".
The book and manuscripts are in the process of being acquired by the Bronte Society for £200,000. The Bronte Museum hopes to put them on show next year.
Dr Barker, who wrote a seminal history of the Bronte Family, told the BBC she was "astonished" when she heard about the newly discovery material.
"It's so unusual to get unpublished manuscripts in this day and age. To find an unpublished one like this - that we had no knowledge of its existence - is extraordinary."
Maria Bronte's copy of Robert Southey's The Remains of Henry Kirke White was among a few treasured possessions salvaged after a boat carrying her belongings - prior to her marriage to Patrick Bronte - was shipwrecked off the Devonshire coast in 1812. To this day, it is stained with salt-water.
Inside it bears a Latin inscription, in her husband's writing, which states it was "the book of my dearest wife and it was saved from the waves. So then it will always be preserved".
The book itself contains annotations and sketches by members of the Bronte family, as well as the poem, story extract and a letter by Arthur Bell Nicholls, Charlotte's husband, written shortly after the author's death in 1855.
Dr Barker believes there is "no question" of the manuscripts' authenticity, citing Charlotte Bronte's distinctive handwriting - which varied according to the type of material she was writing - as well as the contemporary detail and Charlotte's use of her "favourite" male pseudonym, Lord Charles Wellesley.
Set in 1833, the short story fragment - described by Dr Barker as a "satirical take on life in Haworth" - is 74 lines long and written in the character of "the debonair, man-about-town" Lord Charles.
Highlighting the significance of the manuscript, Dr Barker stressed the "insight [it gives us] into Charlotte's character".
"Charlotte much preferred to write as a man," she explained. "It allowed her to go, as a writer, to places she couldn't go as a woman."
The incomplete "dramatic" poem is 77 lines and revolves around the fantasy world of Angria, which Charlotte dreamt up with her brother, Branwell, in childhood.
Dr Barker described it as "typical" of the poems she wrote. The first quatrain reads:
Mary thou dids't not know that I was nigh
Thou dids't not know my gaze was fixed on thee
I stood apart and watched thee gliding by
In all thy calm unconscious majesty
With the help of funding from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Friends of the National Libraries, the Bronte Society is currently in negotiations to acquire both Maria Bronte's book and the Charlotte Bronte manuscripts.
The book was originally sold following the death of Patrick Bronte in 1861 and has been held by the same family in the US for nearly 100 years.
It is believed to have been offered for sale just once previously, in 1918 - but it was either withdrawn ahead of sale or no buyers were found.
The forthcoming bicentenary of Charlotte Bronte's birth next year, which will be marked around the world - including an exhibition about the Brontes in New York - is thought to have precipitated the current sale.
The decision followed a motion by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue.
A huge fire at recycling plant in Smethwick last year was blamed on a Chinese lantern, while warnings were voiced in 2011 after one landed near hay at a Warwickshire farm.
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Gary Philips described them as "extremely dangerous".
He said: "Not only do they set fire to trees and property, but they can frighten animals.
"Some animals have even died because of the heat in the wire and cable of the mechanism."
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue said it hoped the council decision, which covers parks, would also make people think twice before launching them from their gardens. | International monitors say they have found a new type of Russian-made rocket system in rebel-held eastern Ukraine.

Storms in December led to residents being evacuating and damaged several businesses.
Community Foundation for Lancashire launched the appeal, with most online donations received when Storm Eva hit the county on Boxing Day.
It said the response had been "phenomenal".
The total cost of the floods in Lancashire and neighbouring Cumbria is estimated to have run into hundreds of millions.
The charity, which set up the Lancashire Flood Appeal, said they had received donations from across the UK including from Comic Relief, a national newspaper appeal and regional water firm United Utilities.
Chief executive Cathy Elliott said the donations would help "those in greatest need and vulnerable people affected by flooding, as well as new community-led work".
So far, about £490,000 has been used for clean-up work, repairs to the homes of vulnerable people and on replacing items such as fridges and clothing, a charity spokesman said.
Donations will also go toward supporting flood response groups in the future, he added.
An event to thanks residents and donors will be held on Friday in Whalley, which has received the biggest number of the appeal's grants so far.
The Staffordshire force says it follows a documentary that queried an alibi given to police at the time by a man who was later jailed for a separate shooting.
Carl Bridgewater was 13 when he was shot in the head at point-blank range while delivering newspapers.
The documentary aired in June 2016.
It featured Bert Spencer - who denies having anything to do with the teenager's murder at Yew Tree Farm in Prestwood, Stourbridge - and what he decades ago told police of his movements when he was a suspect in the case.
Mr Spencer, who had been a neighbour of the Bridgewater family, was later convicted of shooting his friend in the same village in 1979; a murder for which he served a prison sentence.
After the programme aired on Channel 4, Staffordshire Police said it was "considering the content of the documentary to ascertain whether new information is available beyond what we already know".
In it, questions are raised over Mr Spencer's whereabouts on the day Carl died.
An ex-hospital secretary, who had provided Mr Spencer with what he described as a "cast-iron" alibi, told the documentary she could not prove where he was that day.
Four men - the so-called Bridgewater Four - were convicted of Carl's murder and jailed in 1979.
Their convictions were overturned 18 years later amid concerns about police evidence.
Carl is thought to have disturbed a burglary when he was shot.
No exact date in March has been set for the sharing of findings of the evidence review.
The case has been periodically reviewed to piece together the circumstances surrounding the murder.
Kensington Palace said the trip was at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
The royal couple will meet survivors of the Bataclan and Nice attacks.
It will be Prince William's first official visit to the French capital since his mother Princess Diana's death, in 1997.
He was 15 and his brother Prince Harry was 12 when Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in the city almost 20 years ago.
The itinerary for the visit includes a reception for young French leaders and a formal dinner at the British Embassy.
The couple will be travelling without their children, three-year-old George and one-year-old Charlotte.
A spokeswoman for the FCO said: "Royal visits play a very important role in the United Kingdom's bilateral diplomacy.
"Whilst every royal visit is unique, each visit is designed to support foreign policy objectives and promote closer ties across a range of areas, for example cultural, economic or political, between the UK and the host country."
The trip comes a day after the Queen gave Royal Assent to the Brexit bill, which will allow the prime minister to notify Brussels that the UK is leaving the EU.
French political magazine Le Point said the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were "the weapon of glamour against a hard Brexit" and went on describe the visit was an attempt "to mitigate" the effect of Brexit on Europe.
Gala magazine called them " the glamorous card to make you forget Brexit".
Overseas trips are decided by the Royal Visits Committee, whose membership includes a number of royal private secretaries, the private secretary to the prime minister, the permanent under secretary of the FCO and the keeper of the Privy purse.
In July, Prince William and Kate will tour Poland and Germany on official visits.
Later this month, the Prince of Wales will embark on a nine-day visit to Europe, beginning in Romania followed by Italy and Austria.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will travel for the first time on the prime ministerial jet dubbed "Cam Force One" - the converted RAF A330 Voyager refuelling aircraft which was used by David Cameron when he was in office.
The court decided last week that Parliament should get a vote on when the process of leaving the EU starts.
The Daily Mail branded the judges "enemies of the people", while UKIP's Nigel Farage warned of street protests if the referendum result was ignored.
The government is appealing against the ruling and the PM said it would be setting out "strong legal arguments".
Judges ruled on Thursday Parliament should vote on when the government can trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, starting two years of formal negotiations with the EU.
The government argues ministers already have sufficient powers - under the Royal Prerogative - to do this without MPs and peers having a vote. It has promised to fight to get the ruling overturned next month in the Supreme Court.
It says the High Court's decision will not affect its Brexit timetable, but this has not prevented fierce criticism of the ruling from some newspapers, who fear it could open up the possibility of delays.
Labour has said it will not seek to delay the triggering of Article 50, but some Remain-supporting MPs, including ex-Conservative minister Ken Clarke and former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, have told the BBC that they are prepared to vote against it.
The SNP's Brexit Minister Mike Russell has also told BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme he "can't imagine" any circumstances in which his party's 54 MPs would vote to trigger it.
On her way to Delhi for a visit to promote UK-India trade, Mrs May said: "I believe in and value the independence of our judiciary. I also value the freedom of our press. I think these both underpin our democracy and they are important.
"Of course the judges will look at the legal arguments. We think we have strong legal arguments and we will be taking those arguments to the Supreme Court."
Analysis: John Pienaar, BBC deputy political editor, travelling with the prime minister
At 37,000 feet, above the roar of the engines propelling the prime minister's official RAF Voyager aircraft towards Delhi, Theresa May's verdict on the raging "Press v judges" dispute was heard loud and clear in the crowded cabin.
"I value the independence of the judiciary," she said. "I also value the freedom of the press."
The latter was "important to democracy", she added.
True, no prime minister would ever offer anything other than an unqualified endorsement of press freedom if invited to do so. But Mrs May repeated the words twice.
Those who were outraged by the strength of the papers' attacks, and even saw the criticism as an assault on the independence of the judiciary, will be far less pleased than the editors framing the morning editions.

Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, UKIP leader Mr Farage said the court's decision meant the country was faced with "half Brexit", adding the "reach of the European Union into the upper echelons of this country makes it quite difficult for us to trust the judgement".
He warned: "If the people of this country think that they're going to be cheated, they're going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger, the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed."
Asked if there was a danger of disturbances in the street, he replied: "Yes, I think that's right."
But the campaigner who brought the High Court case said it would stop ministers acting like a "tin-pot dictatorship".
Investment manager Gina Miller told the BBC: "Everyone in this country should be my biggest fan, because we have used our own money to create certainty about the way ahead."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party "respected the result of the referendum", adding that "Article 50 will be invoked and there will be negotiations".
He said: "We are part of the negotiations, and we are very tough on this. We want to see Britain having a trading relationship with Europe and protections maintained for British workers."
Mr Corbyn called on the government to reveal its negotiating strategy, arguing: "We can't have a prime minister obfuscating and hiding behind the idea that she has some executive authority which she clearly does not have. Parliament has the authority."
But the government said that to give its stance away ahead of Article 50 being invoked would be counterproductive, putting it at a disadvantage when it negotiates issues like trade agreements and the movement of people.
Many were crushed after panic broke out on a bridge near the Ratangarh temple. Others drowned when they jumped from the bridge into river waters below.
Officials said the stampede may have been sparked by a rumour that the bridge had been about to collapse.
Hundreds of thousands had gathered for the festival of Navratra (nine nights).
By Zubair AhmedBBC Hindi, Datia
A day after the tragedy, it was business as usual at the temple.
Pilgrims in colourful attire were pouring into the temple - singing, chanting and beating drums to mark the end of one of the holiest festivals in the Hindu calendar.
Makeshift shops were busy selling snacks. The atmosphere was electric and everyone seemed determined to forget Sunday's tragic incident.
The bridge, where the stampede took place, was crowded with devotees. Many said they felt sad but they had to complete their pilgrimage regardless of the tragedy.
Funeral pyres burned throughout the night, with many of the victims already cremated by Monday morning.
"The death toll has now gone up to 115 and more than 110 injured," news agency AFP quoted senior police official DK Arya in Datia district as saying on Monday.
"Ten of those [injured] are in a very critical state," he added.
Earlier, officials said they had recovered bodies of people who had been crushed to death from the river.
Meanwhile, relatives gathered outside hospitals to take away the bodies of the dead after post mortems had been carried out.
Many were still searching for loved ones among the dead and the injured.
The BBC's Zubair Ahmed in Datia said thousands of devotees were still thronging the temple on Monday.
Many took a bath in the Sindh river before going into the temple to offer prayers.
The accident happened at about 09:00 (03:30 GMT) on Sunday. The victims were mostly women and children, officials said.
The narrow bridge is about 500m long and had only recently been rebuilt following another stampede in 2006 in which more than 50 people had died.
Local official Sanket Bhondve said the immediate priority was to provide relief to the injured.
Stampedes occur relatively frequently at religious festivals in India, which attract large crowds.
In the past year, dozens have died in similar tragedies.
In 2011 more than 100 died at a festival in the southern state of Kerala.
Inside Jodhpur's Mehrangarh Fort, more than 220 people were killed in 2008 in a stampede at the Chamunda Devi Hindu temple.
He has said publication of his report has been delayed to allow those who have been criticised to respond.
Lawyers for the soldiers' families claim he acted unlawfully by refusing to set a deadline for publication.
The five-member panel, led by Sir John, began its work in 2009 and held its last hearings in 2011.
The inquiry took evidence from hundreds of witnesses, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and is set to cost taxpayers £10m.
The delays, to allow those who might face criticism in the report to argue their case, have led to frustration among some of the soldiers' families.
Lawyers acting for 29 of them have written to Sir John calling for him to set a deadline for witnesses to respond and to promise the report will be published by the end of the year or they will take their case to the High Court.
Reg Keys, whose son L/Cpl Thomas Keys was killed in Iraq in 2003, said he was "losing patience" and the families had come to the "end of our tether".
"It's got to the stage now where Iraq is like an open wound and it is continually prodded and opened with all these delays," he told the BBC.
Since the death of his son, Mr Keys has been campaigning on Iraq. He even stood against Tony Blair in the 2005 general election.
He said: "The families want closure now, we need to know why our loved ones died.
"Those who were seriously wounded and maimed, those families will want to know why their loved ones have ended up in that state."
Matthew Jury, one of the solicitors representing the families, said the long delay has caused them further pain.
"This suffering has only been compounded over time," he said.
"They describe it to me as a black cloud hanging over their heads and the only way to disperse that cloud, for them to get some degree of closure, is for this report to be published and for them to finally know the truth."
The families say the delay is caused by the "Maxwellisation process", a convention whereby individuals criticised in official reports have the right to see and respond to criticisms before publication.
Mr Keys said: "That Maxwellisation process has now been running for two years. Some haven't even bothered to respond to the criticism. And we feel Sir john needs to give a deadline to these people now that have been criticised."
The term Maxwellisation is named after the controversial newspaper proprietor, Robert Maxwell, took the Department of Trade and Industry to court after it published a highly critical report into his business dealings in 1969.
A judge ruled that the DTI had "virtually committed the business murder" of Robert Maxwell
Since then, many official inquiries have invited people criticised in reports to see extracts relating to them before publication.
Conservative MP Sir Crispin Blunt, chairman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, told the BBC that the Maxwellisation process would provide "the best chance of getting it right".
"This is a very serious inquiry into an immensely serious historic issue. If the inquiry needs time I believe, on balance, it should be given it."
Jack Straw, who was foreign secretary at time of the Iraq war and gave evidence to the Chilcot inquiry, said: "I've always understood their (the families') frustration and obviously my frustration simply as a witness and a major decision-maker are tiny compared to those of the bereaved families.
"But Sir John Chilcot has made it clear that the delays which have occurred are nothing whatever to do with witnesses."
David Cameron recently said he was "fast losing patience" with the process and wanted to see a timetable for the publication of the report.
Head of the civil service Sir Jeremy Heywood said the inquiry had repeatedly turned down offers of extra assistance to help speed up the report.
Sir John, who is paid £790 a day as head of the inquiry, has always declined to say exactly when the report would be released but has said he wholeheartedly shares the wish for it be made available as soon as possible.
Sarah Williams, 35, told Preston Crown Court, she did not know why her friend Katrina Walsh, 56, wrote about a plot to murder Sadie Hartley, 60.
Ms Hartley was paralysed with a stun gun and stabbed 40 times in Helmshore, Lancashire on 14 January.
Both Ms Williams and Ms Walsh deny murdering the mother-of-two.
The crown alleges Ms Williams' obsessive desire for Ms Hartley's partner Ian Johnston, 57, led her to incapacitate Ms Hartley with a 500,000-volt stun gun before murdering her.
It is alleged she put a tracking device on Mr Johnston's car in the weeks prior to the murder and discovered that the couple were living together in Helmshore.
But Ms Williams told the court it was Ms Walsh's idea to buy the stun gun and the tracker.
Gordon Cole QC, took his client Ms Williams through entries recorded in diaries that were recovered at Ms Walsh's workplace.
In September 2014, Ms Walsh wrote: "Sarah came round so got caught up in endless murder plots for Ian's other half."
Mr Cole asked Ms Williams: "Were there any murder plots discussed between you and Katrina Walsh?"
She replied: "No, not at any time in any way."
Another diary entry read: "We're also seriously talking of getting rid of her opponent. I agree is probably a good play... she does seem to be a totally evil bitch."
Ms Williams told the court: "I couldn't account for what she wrote and why."
The jury heard the stun gun and tracker were bought when the women visited Germany in December.
Ms Williams, who said the pair had planned to visit a Celtic museum and Christmas markets, said when she asked Ms Walsh why she bought the stun gun she was told it was for "self-defence".
She said she thought Ms Walsh bought the tracker because of her "excessive and obsessive" interest in the Channel 4 programme Hunted, where people try to avoid former police officers and intelligence officers for 28 days.
Ms Williams added she thought the tracker was for one of Ms Walsh's "hare-brained" business schemes.
The case continues.
The group - chaired by anti-Brexit Labour MP Chuka Umunna - warns in a report that anti-immigrant rhetoric is making it harder for new arrivals.
It calls for government action to encourage "meaningful social mixing".
Leave Means Leave said there was nothing poisonous about wanting to take back control of Britain's borders.
In its report, the cross-party group on social integration, says migrants should be treated as Britons-in-waiting who can eventually gain citizenship instead of being viewed as security threats.
Mr Umunna said: "The demonisation of immigrants, exacerbated by the poisonous tone of the debate during the EU referendum campaign and after, shames us all and is a huge obstacle to creating a socially integrated nation.
"We must act now to safeguard our diverse communities from the pedlars of hatred and division while addressing valid concerns about the impact of immigration on public services, some of which can contribute to local tensions."
The group calls for local authorities to be given a legal duty to promote integration and for new arrivals to be put on the path to citizenship straight away.
It also proposes that businesses employing large numbers of immigrants should pay a levy that could be used to help ease the strains of migration on communities.
And the group repeats a call it made last year to allow different parts of the UK to set their own immigration policy, an idea rejected by the Home Office.
Critics have accused the group of trying to keep EU freedom of movement through the back door.
Richard Tice, co-chairman of pro-Brexit campaign Leave Means Leave, said: "This is typical of Chuka Umunna - a member of the metropolitan liberal elite who is completely oblivious to the concerns of millions of hard-working British families across the country.
"There is nothing 'poisonous' about wanting to take back control over Britain's borders, in fact he should be ashamed to suggest there is."
He claimed Mr Umunna was "in complete denial about the referendum result and is trying to retain a form of freedom of movement which is completely against the democratic will of the British people".
The cross-party group visited areas of high immigration in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Dagenham and found migrants are increasingly leading separate lives to the rest of the community.
Under a regional system, local leaders would be able to assess the impact of immigration on public services and community cohesion and create a certain number of visas to meet local economic needs, according to the report.
The majority of MPs and peers in the group are Labour members, but it also includes Conservative, Lib Dem and SNP MPs.
It has previously called for compulsory English lessons for people moving to the UK who cannot speak the language.
Ospreys are third in the Pro12 table following a narrow 20-18 defeat by Leinster on Saturday.
With three games left they seem likely to face an away trip to either Munster or Leinster in the play-offs.
"I'm really positive in the fact, that we are completely in charge of our affairs," said Davis.
Losing at home to Leinster was preceded by a shock 13-5 loss at Italian strugglers Treviso.
Against Leinster, Wales fly-half Dan Biggar missed a late penalty to win the game and later said he was "dazed" at the time following a blow to the head.
Biggar is being monitored for concussion ahead of their Pro12 Judgement Day game against Cardiff Blues at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday.
Davis added: "If someone had asked me at the start of the season whether with three games to go you'd be two points clear at third position I would have snapped their hand off and said 'I'll take that'."
He also remains upbeat in the event of going away to either Leinster or Munster in the last four.
"I think there are going to be a few more little permutations that are going to happen between now and then," the Australian said.
Roads between the Celtic Manor Resort and Cardiff are most likely to be hit, but there are no plans to close the M4.
Traffic has already been restricted in Cardiff city centre, where some roads have now been closed due to the summit.
Cardiff Airport said flights would not be affected, but passengers are urged to allow extra time for road journeys.
People have also been asked to use public transport wherever possible.
Ch Supt Alun Thomas from South Wales Police, the Silver Commander responsible for the operational delivery of the Nato summit, said they were looking after an "unprecedented international global event".
He said: "It is fair to say that this is totally unprecedented and something that the UK has never managed before so whilst it's challenging for us locally in Wales, what an opportunity, what a fantastic chance for us to display Wales across the globe and show the rest of our partners and colleagues that we are capable of delivering this on behalf of Wales."
Road closures in Newport have been limited to the area around the Celtic Manor Resort on the outskirts of the city, which is hosting the summit on Thursday and Friday.
Official government transport advice for the duration of the summit says there is no intention to close the M4 at any point, and that "significant disruption" should be limited to particular pinch-points when delegations arrive and depart from the Celtic Manor.
Thursday evening and Friday morning rush-hours have been identified as the times most likely to be affected by congestion.
Newport Bus said its services would be running to a Saturday timetable on Thursday and Friday.
In Cardiff city centre, the installation of security fencing has already resulted in lane closures around Cardiff Castle and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, which are hosting events for delegates during the summit, prompting an outcry from taxi drivers about "absolute chaos".
A key route through the city centre will be closed completely from 20:30 BST on Wednesday in advance of a working dinner for Nato delegates at Cardiff Castle on Thursday evening.
The roads to be closed are:
The roads are likely to reopen in the early hours of Friday morning, although the timing is yet to be confirmed.
Ramesh Patel, Cardiff council cabinet member for transport and strategic planning, said: "Residents are advised to consider using public transport, or make use of the park and ride facilities at Leckwith or Pentwyn.
"If you are travelling by car into the city centre, we advise that you allow extra time for your journey and use the diversion route signposted."
Cardiff Airport said it has spent up to a year gearing up for one of the biggest ever events of its kind on UK soil.
An extra 100 staff from a range of agencies are on duty running a temporary terminal built specifically to handle the Nato traffic.
Aviation enthusiasts hoping to catch a glimpse of a world leader's plane are being provided with a private parking area at the Porthkerry caravan site.
Arriva Trains Wales is adding extra capacity and services between Cardiff and Newport during the Nato summit, as well as more staff at stations to deal with the 25,000 extra passengers expected.
Customer services director Lynne Milligan said Arriva Trains Wales had been working with Network Rail and British Transport Police to see what could be done on Thursday and Friday.
There will be an extra train an hour running in both directions between Cardiff and Newport to meet the expected extra demand.
"We've put the 25,000 extra people expected into the capacity for those couple of days, and we will have an hourly shuttle in addition to the normal train service between Newport and Cardiff," she said.
"With the government recommending people avoid the roads because of delays - and I think everyone will expect delays - it feels quite a good way to support that by putting these extra hourly trains in each direction."
But First Great Western, which runs the Swansea to London Paddington service, said there were no plan to run extra train or increase capacity.
Patients and visitors to hospital sites in Cardiff are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys during the Nato summit.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has put plans in place to minimise the impact on local services and aims to maintain as normal a service as possible.
Essential services such as urgent cancers, outpatient diagnostics and elective services will continue as normal at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, while the minor injuries unit at Barry Hospital will shut until Monday to help provide emergency medicine staff in the city centre to support police and ambulance staff.
Services at University Hospital Llandough will continue as normal.
Abigail Harris, the health board's director of planning, said: "There has been extensive multi-agency planning to make sure our services are prepared for any increased demand during the week.
"We are planning to provide as normal a service as possible but would advise those coming to our sites, particularly on Thursday or Friday, to allow extra travelling time and check the latest travel news."
The seven-year-old suffered a minor lip injury when a bullet casing from the assault rifle hit her after it was shot into the ground at Nottinghamshire Police headquarters last year.
The officer, who has not been named, has been taken off firearms duties following an incompetency hearing.
The officer said he did not remember the weapon being offered to the girl.
Her mother told the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) her daughter was offered the gun for a photograph shortly before it was fired.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
The IPCC, which has released a report into the incident, asked the officer about the mother's allegation to which he said it was "not something I recall specifically".
He went on to say: "that's not to say that it maybe didn't happen, it's certainly something I don't recall".
The girl, from Worksop, was on a tour of the force's headquarters in Hucknall with a group of youngsters, aged six to 13, and their parents, in October.
She suffered a burn to her lip when she was hit in the face after the gun, a Heckler & Koch G36C assault rifle, was fired.
Derrick Campbell, from the IPCC, said: "The seriousness of this matter cannot be underestimated. It is through good fortune that no one was more seriously injured.
"The officer's actions, while not deliberate, posed a genuine risk to those present."
Following the investigation, the IPCC concluded that operational firearms officers must keep their weapons loaded and therefore should not be involved in community events.
It also criticised Nottinghamshire Police for not having a policy in place regarding firearms at public events or carrying out a risk assessment before the display.
Another officer, involved in the incident, has since left the firearms department while a third has been recommended to undergo further training.
The tweet, which was quickly deleted, read: "Classy as always China".
When President Barack Obama arrived in Hangzhou there was no red carpet and he had to leave by a different plane exit.
There was also a row on the tarmac when a Chinese official shouted "This is our country!" as reporters and US officials tried to bypass a cordon.
President Obama called on reporters "not to over-crank the significance".
However, a Twitter operative of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) - a secretive spy unit within the defence department that advises on intentions and capabilities of foreign nations and entities - appears to have made things worse, the Wall St Journal reported.
The "Classy as always China" tweet linked through to a New York Times article on the protocol incident, it said.
The DIA felt compelled to issue a speedy apology, saying the posting did "not represent the views of the DIA. We apologize."
Mr Obama earlier insisted the quarrel had no bearing on broader Sino-US relations.
He said that part of the reason for the tension on his arrival in China was because the US had a different attitude towards the press than other countries.
"We think it's important that the press have access to the work that we're doing, that they have the ability to ask questions," he said.
"We don't leave our values and ideals behind when we take these trips. [But] it can cause some friction."
American reporters who travelled to the summit with President Obama from Hawaii said that Chinese security guards prevented them from watching the president disembark from the belly of the plane - something normally only done on high-security trips to places like Afghanistan - because there was no red carpet welcome.
"We were abruptly met by a line of bright blue tape, held taut by security guards. In six years of covering the White House, I had never seen a foreign host prevent the news media from watching Mr Obama disembark," Mark Landler of the New York Times reported.
When a White House staff member protested to a Chinese security official that this was a breach of protocol, the official was reported to have shouted: "This is our country."
National Security Adviser Susan Rice - one of the president's most senior members of staff - joined in the row along with her deputy, the New York Times reported, remonstrating with Chinese officials.
The South China Morning Post on Sunday reported an official as saying that China provides red carpets to welcome every arriving state leader, "but the US side... turned down the proposal and insisted that they didn't need the staircase provided by the airport".
More tensions between the two sides broke out at the West Lake State House, where Mr Obama met President Xi Jinping.
White House aides, protocol officers and Secret Service agents became embroiled in a row with Chinese officials as to how many Americans should be allowed into the building before Mr Obama's arrival. At one point there were fears the confrontation could become physical, the New York Times reported.
The president pointed out that this was not the first time there had been tension with the Chinese over security and news media access during his travels.
"But this time," he said, "the seams are showing a little more than usual."
Ian Eardley, from the Royal College of Surgeons, said a shortage of beds was one of the causes.
Such surgery is usually protected under treatment time guidelines, he added.
The NHS said it was "pulling out all the stops" to ensure patients receive surgery "as quickly as possible".
A spokesman for NHS England said there had been a steady increase in the number of operations over the last 15 years and more people were surviving cancer than ever before.
Guidelines for hospitals in England stipulate that cancer patients should be seen within 31 days and receive primary treatment within 62.
In November 2016, the latest period which NHS figures are available for, the 62-day target for treatment to start was missed - with 83.5% of patients being treated in that timeframe instead of 85%.
Mr Eardley, vice president of the RCS, said most hospitals were able to see more than 90% of patients within that time period, but in the past year "it's been more difficult to achieve that".
He said that while cancer operations were cancelled "from time to time", especially during the winter, the RCS had heard from its members in England about an increasing number of cancellations within the last week.
"There are current pressures - since Christmas particularly - and the number of cancelled operations has been going up," he told the BBC.
"The NHS is under tremendous pressure - more and more patients are going to A&E and there is more difficulty in getting patients home, and it's not something we are comfortable with at all.
"If we could get patients home more quickly and effectively, we could carry on with doing surgery more quickly and more effectively."
He added that solving the shortage of beds caused by problems with arranging care in the community would be "the easiest thing to do most quickly, although there are other longer-term problems and there also needs to be a broader review of the NHS."
It's a graphic illustration of what the current extreme pressure on the NHS means for patients.
Routine surgery is often cancelled during the winter to allow hospitals to keep beds free for the expected surge in emergency admissions, but cancer treatment always continues with very few exceptions.
In what looks like a highly unusual move, several hospitals are now having to postpone cancer operations because of a shortage of beds.
This comes after news that more than four in ten hospitals in England were on major alert status because of high patient numbers in the week ending 8 January.
All this is at a time when the weather is mild and there has not been a major flu outbreak.
If that changes, the NHS will come under even greater strain.
Richard Murray, director of policy at The King's Fund think tank, said the cancellations "reflect capacity problems in the NHS".
"There are not enough beds, there are more patients arriving and hospitals are not able to discharge them quickly, particularly for specialisms like orthopaedics," he said.
"You should never cancel operations on the day for non-clinical reasons, but especially for cancer treatment. It causes distress for patients and it's an urgent pathway. Critically, it becomes how quickly you can rebook."
A Freedom of Information request from the BBC's Inside Out programme suggested that across the UK, the number of cancer operations cancelled on the day of surgery rose from 403 in 2011-12 to 810 in 2015-16.
However, only 95 of 205 health boards and trusts in the UK responded to the FOI request, and a figure for the total number of cancer operations performed was not available.
Lynne Roper, from Devon, who died in August 2016, had her surgery to remove her brain tumour at Derriford Hospital cancelled at the last minute earlier in the year.
Her mother Jenny Roper told Inside Out: "It was really traumatic, I cried. We got to the hospital terribly early, when we left she was gowned ready to go and then when we got home she called and said 'they haven't got a bed for me'. She was extremely upset.
"We don't have a 'beef' with the health service or Derriford, but we do with the government cutbacks. We were all pretty devastated, the whole time there was a tumour growing in our daughter's head."
Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust pointed out it was a main centre for cancer treatment in the region and said: "Cancelling a patient's operation is not a decision that is ever taken lightly; it is often the end result of a difficult balancing act we are faced with.
"We understand the distress and inconvenience a cancellation can cause our patients and their families and for this we are extremely sorry."
Philip Rolle, 52, from Redditch, had his bowel cancer surgery cancelled twice at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital last year.
He said: "The hospital was full, they didn't know where the next bed was coming from. It was very frustrating for everyone, all my friends were shocked and appalled.
"When it happened a second time I was alarmed because the cancer will spread."
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust said: "This cancellation was a reflection of an unprecedented 6% rise in attendances to our emergency department which increases the pressure for beds within the hospital - including intensive care beds."
Andrew Claridge has prostate cancer and said he was told his operation had been cancelled one day before it was due to take place.
"You've got cancer inside you, you just really want to get rid of it. It's just devastating to get that type of news," he said.
Mr Claridge said it has been very upsetting for his family, but he has sympathy for his doctors and he received an apologetic phone call from an NHS consultant.
"I feel sorry for them, I really do, because they don't want to give bad news - they want to go in there and say, 'Mr Claridge, you've had your operation, it's all been successful'.
"But to tell somebody that you can't have your operation - that's life threatening, whether I've got 'x' number of days or whether it's longer - it's still scary," he said.
"How long have I got before I'm not going to have the chance to have an operation to get this removed?"
Dr Moira Fraser, director of policy and public affairs at Macmillan Cancer Support said: "Nobody should have to go through the distress of making emotional and practical preparations for an operation only to have it cancelled."

The Hebrides Terrace Seamount, off the west coast of Scotland, is higher than Ben Nevis, but its peak is 1,000m beneath the surface.
Prof J Murray Roberts, from Heriot-Watt University, and his colleagues filmed more than 100 species on its slopes.
They published their findings in the open access journal Scientific Reports.
Prof Roberts has now shared the footage from the dive exclusively with the BBC.
He and his team used a remotely operated submersible vehicle to explore and film the aquatic mountain slopes.
"These are vast structures in the ocean," Prof Roberts explained to the BBC.
"They're exciting because they grow up through the ocean and have steep sloping sides. [When] the currents hit the sides of the seamount and they stir up nutrients, they become really productive areas."
Prof Roberts and his colleagues watched from a ship-based laboratory while their rover explored the depths.
They identified more than 100 different species, from "really strange" single celled organisms called xenophyophores, which build structures by sticking grains of sand together, to unusual coral species and even an octopus.
Prof Roberts said some of the coral species they saw were unexpected in North Atlantic waters.
"As well as the corals that form little reef patches, we saw things like black corals and bamboo corals," he said.
Some of these corals were providing protection for the egg cases of a very threatened deep sea skate - a relative of the sharks.
The researchers were particularly interested in recording and monitoring the seamount's corals, because they are so vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Some of these have been growing there for hundreds and even thousands of years, but forecasts say they could be destroyed before the end of the century by an increasingly acidic ocean environment.
"The rate now at which the oceans are changing is unlike anything they will have experienced in their evolutionary history," said Prof Roberts.
"Carbon dioxide release is changing the chemistry of our oceans, and forecasts in the Atlantic are that the corals will be exposed to more acidic seawater and that their skeletons will dissolve away."
He added that this ocean acidification posed a serious risk to a deep sea ecosystem "that has great value to society", pointing out that some unique chemicals originally extracted from deep sea organisms are now are used in research into treatments for diseases including malaria and cancer.
Dr Carol Turley, from Plymouth Marine Laboratory, said that 96% of the living space on our planet is in the ocean.
"And the majority of that is below 1,000m, but it's still the big unknown area of our planet," she added.
"There is such amazing diversity down there," said Dr Turley. "And fisheries are already moving into the deeper sea, because our surface fisheries are being over-exploited.
"We need to understand the life down there, because its our heritage; we need to look after it for the next generation."

It will be invested in a new national network which will see pupils work with universities and other experts.
In a major study, Welsh students were below the average of 72 countries in science, reading and maths.
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "This new network of excellence is part of our national mission of education reform to raise standards."
The Pisa results in December marked the fourth time Wales has done worse than the other UK nations.
This planned network will pull together teaching practices for three to 18-year-olds, look at how other countries teach the subjects and allow schools to work together to develop courses and teaching.
Ms Williams said the investment was not a "knee jerk" reaction to the Pisa results but a "carefully considered response".
"An understanding of science is crucial for our young people, from the technology they use, the way they communicate, through to the energy they use in a rapidly changing world," she said.
"The science Pisa results chimed with our own understanding that we are not where we wish to be.
"This new network of excellence is part of our national mission of education reform to raise standards."
The announcement has been welcomed by academics.
Prof Tom Crick, who teaches computer science and public policy at Cardiff Metropolitan University, told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme it would help improve teaching standards.
"You don't want to have to look at this £4m and divide it by the number of schools and the number of teachers," he said.
"I think we are looking at a wider national picture but still addressing regional and local issues.
"Ultimately the biggest impact will be spent on professional development of teachers... that is where we will give the biggest bang for the buck from the investment, directly addressing teachers' competencies."
California is facing a catastrophic environmental disaster. America's erstwhile Golden State is in the midst of a severe drought which shows no sign of letting up.
Even the threat of earthquakes seems to fade in comparison to the water crisis, now in its fourth year.
Nasa scientists have projected that reservoirs could run dry within a year and there is growing pressure on ground water supplies, which are dwindling rapidly.
The drought is a problem of epic proportions and it could - many say should - result in a seismic shift in attitudes towards water.
"Hopefully people will look at a green lawn and find it as annoying as second-hand cigarette smoke," says Nancy Vogel of the California Department of Water Resources.
Last week the state's governor, Jerry Brown, announced mandatory water rationing on scale that California has never experienced before. The goal is a 25% reduction in usage.
"He's been asking us to cut back going back to last winter and we haven't stepped up," says Jay Famiglietti, University of California, Irvine and senior water scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Famiglietti argues that Brown's tough love approach is necessary because so many people are apathetic towards water conservation.
"This is the next logical step and I think it sends a very strong message to all Californians about just how serious this situation is."
But the governor's plan has been criticised for not requiring similar rationing for farmers, who make up the large majority of the state's water usage.
Meanwhile, local authorities and individuals have been put on notice that beautifully manicured green lawns should go.
Homeowners will not be forced to remove them, although many cities have introduced limits on the number of days irrigation systems can be used.
And cities have been ordered to stop watering ornamental grasses in the median areas of highways.
"For the average Californian the easiest and quickest way to save water is to turn sprinklers off," Ms Vogel says.
"Just let the lawn go brown or replace it with drought tolerant landscaping."
About 50% of water used in residential areas is outside the home.
"People routinely over-water their lawns and use water to do things like hosing down the side walk when a broom would do," says Felicia Marcus, chair of the State Water Resources Control Board.
Getting rid of grass will be a huge lifestyle shift for many, but it is the biggest single measure that individual Californians could take to ease the crisis, according to Famiglietti.
"Drought tolerant native landscape is beautiful - we just have to get over this grass thing," he explains.
"We live in an arid and semi-arid state and we need to start acting that way."
But will Californians heed the warnings and change their ways?
Success for state officials hinges on enforcement of the governor's executive order. It will be largely up to local water districts to figure out how to cut consumption by a quarter.
Local providers have been ordered to provide a full account of their efforts to implement the new rules.
They have been authorised to impose fines of up to $500 (£334) on individuals caught wasting water and the agencies themselves could be fined up to $10,000 for failing to comply.
But officials are keen to stress that their approach will be based on an education-first policy, where the goal is to get the message out about conservation.
This includes letting home-owners know about schemes that help them replace their lawn, for free.
"The governor's order involves carrots as well as sticks and has directed the appropriate agencies to work on assisting locals with turf buy-outs and rebates to get more efficient appliances and fixtures," says Marcus.
"These will give permanent savings, not just behavioural savings for the moment."
Californians have been deluged with advice about ways to save water. They include not running the tap while cleaning your teeth, keeping showers short and fixing leaky toilets, pipes and faucets.
"If it's been in your home for 20 years or so you can probably get a more efficient toilet that uses less water," says Vogel.
Some experts suggest car-loving Californians should even stop washing their vehicles.
In Los Angeles, restaurants have been ordered to stop automatically serving diners with of water. They can oblige if customers ask for it, but significant savings can be made mostly through using less water to clean the glasses afterwards.
"It's also a very effective communication reminder that we're in a drought," Marcus says.
There will be no army of water-saving police patrolling the streets to ensure that people do their bit. For the most part, it will be down to individuals to self-enforce the rules.
But some local water agencies have enlisted the public to play water cop by using an app on their smartphone.
It allows users to snap a photo of their offending neighbour and to send it directly to the water authority. It usually results in a warning letter about issues such as leaky irrigation but could lead to a prosecution.
"That's a little frightening," Famiglietti says of the Big Brother approach.
"I don't want to adopt a holier-than-thou attitude but I think it is appropriate for neighbours to talk to one another and encourage each other to save water."
"It is commonly owned and we have to come to grips with the fact that we don't have enough," he says.
"Together, as a community, we'll let one another know how important this is and, in a sense, police ourselves without the power of the state," says Vogel.
"We don't have the resources at the state level to be in everybody's back yard shutting off sprinklers," she adds.
Californians have always prided themselves on their progressive thinking and willingness to go out on a limb. But this will require a shift in mindset from a state of US migrants.
Lush lawns and lavish water features, typically found in Beverly Hills and other rich communities, go hand in hand with a lifestyle that optimises wealth and success.
"People recreated the landscapes that they came from, such as the mid-west and the east which were more water-rich climates and for many people the yard just came with the house," says Marcus.
"It is not a necessity and we have been trying to train people to rethink it."
But even as the drought crisis deepens, the water seems to flow in certain neighbourhoods, unabated.
It is notable that less well off communities enjoy far less greenery. The onus will be on the well-heeled to revise their image of what is appropriate landscape for California.
Ms Vogel adds that Californians will have to re-evaluate their "notion of pretty" and become a lot more water-wise.
"We need to get to the point where we don't expect our landscape to look like Iowa," she says.
Ex-Inter president Massimo Moratti is selling his 30% stake, with current owner Erick Thohir selling 40%.
Thohir will keep his remaining 30% and will be confirmed as Inter's president.
The deal is not expected to affect the position of manager Roberto Mancini, while chief executive Michael Bolingbroke is also to keep his role.
Inter's new ownership structure will be announced at a press conference at Suning's headquarters in Nanjing on Monday.
No figures have been mentioned but Thohir is thought to have made money from the deal, having bought his 70% stake in Inter in a leveraged purchase for around £250m in 2013.
Although this season they finished fourth in Serie A, their highest position since 2011, Inter have not qualified for the Champions League throughout Thohir's time at the helm.
He has tried to get the finances of the club in order and Inter expect to reduce Financial Fair Play losses from 90m Euros (£69.5m) to 30m this year.

The two bands were announced by festival organisers on Twitter. Stereophonics tweeted: "Huge festival news! We'll be co-headlining Friday."
Queen, with singer Adam Lambert, have already been announced as the headline act on Sunday night.
The Welsh band Stereophonics played the festival in 2004 and 2009 and Faithless made an appearance in 2005.
Today he proclaims "I am not a hero."
Andrew Johnston, a 21-year-old student from Lurgan, County Armagh, was hailed as a "brave gentleman" for his efforts, but he has since said: "I don't want to describe myself as a hero, there were a lot of people involved.
"What I saw unfolding before me was the scariest thing I have seen in my life," reports the Daily Mirror.
"But I knew I had to something."
The student told how he dived into the river four times to save Loretta McKinlay.
He became involved in the rescue when he and his girlfriend came across the scene of the crash and a man ran towards him asking if he could swim.
In the water, he saw a man with blood on his face on top of the upturned car.
"I am not a gold-medal swimmer," Mr Johnston said, "but I got out to him and asked him if there was anybody else in the car".
He said the reply was "not the answer I wanted to hear".
Mr Johnston then made four attempts to get to the woman who was trapped inside.
"She was unconscious. Her lips were blue - I'd never seen anything like it in all my life," he said.
He was eventually able to free Ms McKinlay from the back seat of the car.
The story also features on the front page of the Belfast Telegraph under the headline: "I dragged woman from sunken car."
The Belfast Telegraph also reports that Ulster University has crashed out of University Challenge during its debut appearance on the show.
The university "came within touching distance of victory" last night, but lost out on the win by just five points.
The team was made up of mature students, with an average age of 50, who answered questions on topics including Shakespeare and historical travel maps.
On the front page of the Irish News, a resident of the Sandy Row apartment block which was damaged by an Eleventh Night bonfire has criticised a DUP MLA's failure to meet residents.
The story sits alongside a picture of the towering bonfire.
The paper reports that Christopher Stalford, whose office is just across the road from the damaged apartment block, has twice been unable to meet residents.
But the MLA said he had childcare responsibilities which have resulted in him being unable to meet those affected.
He also said that he would "make himself available" at his office if people wished to see him.
But the resident has said Mr Stalford's response was "a joke".
On the front page of the News Letter is the story of missing County Antrim man, Dean McIlwaine.
"Hundreds join dad in search for missing son," reads the headline.
Both the Belfast Telegraph and the Irish News also cover the story.
Relatives of Dean McIlwaine, who is from Newtownabbey, have made emotional pleas for him to return home after his disappearance last Thursday.
Many volunteers joined searches in Belfast last night and posters showing the 22-year-old barber have been placed around the city, the News Letter reports.
He was last seen in the Carnmoney Road area of Newtownabbey.
His brother Glen McIlwaine, 27, told the Belfast Telegraph that the disappearance was "totally out of character".
And the News Letter reports that the missing man's "distraught" father led searches from the Mater Hospital to the Crumlin Road on Monday.
"Somebody must know something and I just hope they come forward," he said.
"It's totally heartbreaking, this is my wee boy we're searching for.
"We just have to keep trying, but as the day goes on it gets harder and harder."
Other teams of volunteers covered parkland in the north of the city.
The story of Mohammad Younus Butt is the story of Neelum Valley - a narrow river valley in north-western Kashmir.
Mr Butt's father died three months before his birth, leaving a widow, three more sons, a daughter and a two-acre farm.
He was born in Athmuqam, then a tiny, obscure village. A that time the former princely state of Kashmir was threatened with division and a newly-created Pakistan was about to launch its first proxy invasion to annex it.
He has since lived through two more conflicts, and alternating spells of peace and confrontation.
"My mother told me that I was born in the month of Inqilab (revolution)," he says, using the term many Kashmiris use for partition.
"She told me it was just before the Hindu families in Keran and Tethwal started to flee across the (Neelum) river. The panic was caused by waves of armed Pathan tribal fighters who came up the river from Muzaffarabad."
These tribesmen were part of a larger tribal militia raised and armed by Pakistan that was to descend on Srinagar, the region's major city, from the north.
A year later, the fighting was over and Kashmir was effectively divided. Athmuqam, which fell on the Pakistani side, was left to carry on with its isolated pastoral existence.

Mr Butt's earliest memories are of a place where there was not much else to do beyond tending cattle or playing hide and seek on terraced farmlands.
"There was no school in the village, and hardly a literate person. If someone received a letter, they would take it to Keran (12km away), where there was a post office and they could find a clerk to read it for them."
If someone wanted to send a telegram, they had to travel to Teethwal, 50km away, where the only tele-printer in the entire valley was installed.
There was no road in the region and no transport. People used to travel on foot or on mules.
When he was about seven years old, his mother sent him to school. The primary school was 8km away and the middle school 4km beyond that.
"Life then was all about walking to school, walking back home, tending to cattle, helping on the farm, and finding time to play."
He left school when he failed grade seven. "But I had learned to read and write. I was among the first literate people in my village," he said.
Adulthood arrived with a bump in 1962, when several things happened.
That year, he got married to his cousin, then his mother gave him money to set up a grocery shop, only to die a few months later.
"She gave me 520 rupees to start the shop - it was the third shop in Athmuqam."
In those days the road from Muzaffarabad came only as far as Nauseri, about 65km away. It was the nearest wholesale market.
"I brought six pony-loads of groceries on my first trip. We would walk the entire day from dawn to dusk to reach Nauseri. And it would take us two days to get home because the ponies needed to be rested."

He started to get involved in local politics, and was influenced by KH Khurshid, a respected politician appointed president of Pakistan-administered Kashmir in 1959 who was seen as a champion of Kashmiri rights.
But Mr Khurshid's career was short-lived, ending in 1964 when he fell out with the Pakistani establishment over the constitutional status of Kashmir, meaning the end of Mr Butt's political activism.
But 1964 was also the year Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru died, and preparations for the second "tribal invasion" of Kashmir came, this time with local Kashmiris instead of tribal Pathans leading the guard, recruited by Pakistan. Pakistan's military has never officially confirmed it ever commissioned such a force.
"The policemen went from village to village recruiting Kashmiri youth. People would fall in line, and the chief police officer would walk down the queue, sizing up each individual. He would touch those he chose on the shoulder and ask them to step into a separate line."
The chief policeman patted Mr Butt on the shoulder.
"I told him I had a shop. He said all you need to do is accept the rifle and stay at home. I took the rifle. But weeks later they came and asked me to shut my shop and join training."
The secret troops who tried to start a rebellion
He and his fellow recruits spent three months training in Muzaffarabad's Nisar Camp. Most of them then infiltrated into Indian Kashmir, but some who could read and write were kept behind for clerical work at supply depots.
"I was posted at a camp in Athmuqam where I kept records of equipment and supplies. I was there until our forces were defeated in Kashmir, and India attacked Pakistan (on 6 September 1965)."
After the two countries signed a peace agreement in January 1966, the force was disbanded.
"Those who wanted to stay in the army stayed on, while the rest of us handed in our rifles and came home. I came home to my shop. It was still locked and there was merchandise in it."
After the war, people in Athmuqam discovered that Indian forces had moved closer and set up permanent posts on high ground opposite their village.
"Until then, our shepherds had always considered those areas our land. The same thing happened in several places down the valley."
For a while, peace prevailed. The road was gradually extended from Nauseri to Athmuqam, and further on. It was little better than the mule tracks it replaced, but it did bring transport and lifestyle changes for the area's growing population.
Athmuqam emerged as the main town in Neelum Valley. A general hospital and several schools were built, bank branches opened and a telephone exchange was set up.
"We built a new house, and all of my children - a boy and two girls - went to university," Mr Butt said.
But more conflict was to come, with the 1989 insurgency in Srinagar. Fresh hordes of private militiamen started to descend on Neelum Valley. This time the proxies were Islamic militants, organized by the Pakistani military to infiltrate Indian Kashmir.
The Indians, having occupied the valley's high ground in 1965, had the settlements in their rifle sights. As the conflict intensified, so did retaliatory fire from the Indians.
"I can't recall a worse time for Athmuqam. Everything that was built in 20 years was turned to rubble in 15 years of hostilities," he said.
The hospital was destroyed, and so were schools and colleges. Farming activity became impossible. Nearly all the population moved to safer areas, such as Muzaffarabad, or to gullies higher up which were not exposed to direct fire.
Only a handful of people remained to look after their own properties. Mr Butt was one of them.
"Athmuqam was a lonely place then. You couldn't find a soul to talk to. My brothers went away with their families, leaving their belongings in my care.
"In this neighbourhood only three households stayed behind. Our houses were damaged. We would eat and sleep in bunkers we had dug. Our orchards were destroyed.
"No children went to schools in those years. A whole generation missed out on education."
Over the last 14 years, since the 2003 ceasefire, much of the infrastructure has been rebuilt. A generation of educated young people are now adults and the government is trying to promote the area as a tourist destination.
But peace is brittle. One incident of cross-border fire during the season scares the tourists away for months.
"Life has revived, but the danger is there all the time," he says.
Mr Butt says his "innings" is nearing its end. He has had three operations so far, two of them during the last three years.
But he is glad that business has grown, and Athmuqam has grown.
"I'm lucky to have been born in freedom, and I hope our future generations will guard this freedom as a precious gift of God."
Unite union general secretary Len McCluskey is due to meet with the company's executives over growing concerns the plant will not be financially viable in three years.
The site, which employs about 1,850 people, will stop making the Jaguar and Ford Sigma engines in 2019.
Ford will cut production of new petrol engines and investment at the plant.
The American car firm said it did not plan job losses and still had a "substantial commitment" to the factory.
Unite union said it was "deeply concerning".
They were angry at a Supreme Court ruling ordering Karnataka to share more water with neighbouring Tamil Nadu.
Karnataka must release 12,000 cubic feet of water per second from the Cauvery river until 20 September.
Both states say they urgently need the water for irrigation and a battle about access to it has raged for decades.
The violence in the technology hub closed many offices and much of the public transport system.
Police have imposed an emergency law that prohibits public gatherings, and more than 15,000 officers have been deployed.
Reuters reported that Tamil Nadu registered vehicles were being singled out by protesters and pelted with stones.
About 200 S5 students from George Watson's College will take part in a workshop to encourage them to think about their sleeping habits.
Sound Sleep is a programme run by Sleep Scotland to teach the importance of sleep for memory retention.
Experts said teenagers should be averaging nine hours sleep a night.
However, researchers in America who studied 3,000 pupils found that those who were getting grades of C and below slept around 25 minutes less and went to bed an average of 40 minutes later than those achieving A and B grades.
Sleep Scotland conducted its own survey showing 31% of 12 - 15 years reported staying up regularly until 03:00 with 50% reporting feeling tired in the morning.
Since 2013, payouts have been made for a range of incidents, including where police vehicles hit a pedestrian, cyclists, parked cars, and walls.
Motor liability claims accounted for more than half of the total £633,035.
Police Scotland said its police vehicles did 70 million miles each year in often dangerous conditions.
As well as motoring offences, payouts were also made for unlawful strip-searches and detentions.
3,500 - Police vehicles in Scotland
70m - Miles driven by police vehicles
£350,000 - Payout for road accidents since 2013
The data was obtained through a BBC Scotland freedom of information request - made seven months ago - to Police Scotland.
The force collates motor, public and employer's liability claims into individual annual spreadsheets for each of the force's three command areas.
The release of the data comes in the wake of reports that cash-strapped Police Scotland is facing a "six figure" compensation bid over last year's M9 car crash which left two dead after a 101 call was mishandled.
The FOI data set showed that Police Scotland paid out £358,159 - or 57% of all the 217 successful compensation payments - on motor-related claims.
The three command areas showed varying claims:
The compensation data reveals payments were made when a police vehicle hit a cyclist (£35,612), a pedestrian (£5,582), a wall (£930), and a parked car (£1,119).
Payouts were also made where one police vehicle ran a red light causing a collision (£1,609), and another rolled into a third party vehicle (£5,237).
One member of the public was compensated £221 when a police horse damaged their car wing mirror.
Patrick McGuire, a partner with Thompson Solicitors Scotland, said revelations that 57% of the compensation payouts were motor-related, was "shocking, but not surprising".
He said: "We expect our police officers to be highly trained in driving, and we hold them to, and expect, a very high standard of care from them.
"But in my professional experience I have seen many claims over the years involving collisions."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We have more than 3,500 vehicles which cover more than 70 million miles a year in all conditions and many of these are in high risk circumstances as our officers do their job in keeping people safe.
"All drivers have to pass a police driving test in addition to holding a full driving licence before being allowed to drive a police vehicle and all new vehicles coming on to our fleet have the highest safety ratings which includes being fitted with reversing sensors, anti-skid and electronic stability control systems."
But Mr McGuire said, despite their frequency, successfully pursuing such motor claims against Police Scotland was another matter entirely.
The police's own data reveals that only 40% of all 549 closed claims since 2013 resulted in a payout.
In Bo'ness, Leona Ryce's vehicle was hit at a junction by a speeding police car responding to a call - but which allegedly had not yet turned on its lights or siren.
That was four years ago, and Ms Ryce has yet to receive any compensation for the incident.
She said: "I had internal bleeding in my knee, I had cracked ribs, and I suffered from a few panic attacks after the crash."
Ms Ryce was charged with driving without consideration but successfully challenged the charge in court.
She added: "I thought right from the start they [Police Scotland] would have accepted liability, to be honest.
"I'm disgusted about the way they have been about the whole thing."
Police Scotland said it would not comment on an ongoing legal case.
Mr McGuire, who is now overseeing Ms Ryce's case, said this was indicative of how Police Scotland dealt with motor-related claims.
He said: "The evidence we have from non-police eyewitnesses is very strong and they [Police Scotland] are relying entirely on the police officers and believing their statements entirely.
"They [Police Scotland] are overly-blinkered and dangerously protective of the serving officers to the extent that they seem unwilling to look to the other possibilities and to recognise fairly compelling evidence that the officer got it wrong, and therefore to do the right and appropriate thing and ensure the victim is fairly compensated.
"They should hold their officers to the highest standard, and when they get it wrong they have to know that they won't get away with that.
"Certain officers, despite their degree of training, think that they are above the law, that certain rules don't apply to them."
A Police Scotland spokesman denied claims of favouring officer testimony, stating that "all claims are assessed in line with an agreed process".
While the majority of payouts were motor-related, the remainder were largely public liability claims. Here are details on a small number of these claims that resulted in a Police Scotland payout:
The £633,035 paid out by Police Scotland is dwarfed by similar payments made by the London Metropolitan Police, which in 2010-11, paid out £1.8m for 205 claims.
It was reported last year that Police Scotland had 'ring-fenced' £1.4m for employer liability claims - but the police force refused to acknowledge what portion of their £1bn budget was set aside for motor and public liability claims.
However, Police Scotland's 2014/15 budget reported an actuarial valuation of £5,3m.
All compensation payouts rose by 270% between 2013 and 2014 to £420,167, before falling to £99,271 in 2015.
But in Scotland actions for personal injury claims can be submitted up to three years after gaining knowledge of the injury - meaning claims for 2015 incidents can be submitted up until 2018. | An appeal to help people affected by flooding in Lancashire has raised £1m in four months after the government matched funded donations.

Beneath the carpet is a mesh of optical fibres that detect and plot movement as pressure bends them, changing the light detected at the carpet's edges.
These deflected light patterns help electronics "learn" walking patterns and detect if they are deteriorating, for instance in the elderly.
The carpet was demonstrated at the Photon12 conference in Durham, UK.
The optical fibre network at the heart of the effort makes use of the same types of fibres that transmit data to homes and across oceans, in which light bounces along the fibres' length.
To make them sensitive to the deflection caused by pressure, the researchers carved grooves in the fibres along their length so that the bouncing of the light was less efficient at the point where pressure was applied.
Detectors at the carpet's edge convert the light into electrical signals which are then analysed by a computer. That analysis borrows heavily from technology developed at the university for use with medical scanners.
The developers of the network, based at the University of Manchester in the UK, see its primary use in care homes or hospital wards, to raise an immediate alarm in the case of a fall.
The fibres can be easily retro-fitted beneath existing carpet, and future applications could stretch to private homes as well.
The researchers' aim is to address the significant number of falls experienced by the elderly; it is a leading cause of mortality among over-70s and falls cost the NHS millions each day.
They believe their system can be used to build up a profile of movement patterns for given individuals, so that any deterioration in mobility can be monitored and possibly used as an early warning system for falls.
"Falls are a really important problem for our ageing society," said Chris Todd, professor of of primary care and community health at the university's department of nursing.
"More than a third of older people fall each year, and in nursing and residential homes it is much more common than that.
"So being able to identify changes in people's walking patterns and gait in the natural environment, such as in a corridor in a nursing home, could really help us identity problems earlier on."
Many students have been arrested after the brutal attack in the northern city of Mardan, and the campus has been closed.
Reports suggest that two young men were accused of posting offensive content on Facebook. One survived with injuries.
Blasphemy is a highly sensitive and incendiary issue in Pakistan.
Critics say blasphemy laws, which allow the death penalty in some cases, are often misused to oppress minorities.
There have been other cases where people accused of it have been killed by an angry crowd.
The murdered student has been identified as Mashal Khan, who studied journalism. Some reports say he was shot, while others say he was beaten to death with planks.
"He was badly tortured after being shot at a close range... He was beaten with sticks, bricks and hands," senior police official Niaz Saeed told the AFP news agency.
Hundreds of people were involved, the officer said. Graphic video footage of the incident has emerged online.
Police had not been investigating the two accused men, nor had any case been filed against them, and the mob appeared to have acted on rumours, the Dawn newspaper reports.
Last month Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif voiced his support for a wide-ranging crackdown on blasphemous content on social media.
In a statement on his party's official Twitter account, he described blasphemy as an "unpardonable offence".
An official at Abdul Wali Khan University who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mr Khan was disliked by other students for his liberal and secular views.
At least 65 people have been murdered in Pakistan after being accused of blasphemy since 1990, a recent think tank report said.

British European Airways was the first operator to fly from Terminal 1 when it was opened by the Queen in May 1968.
The final departure is also due to be a British Airways flight, this time to Hanover.
Its closure will allow Terminal 2 to be expanded and comes in the week the Airport Commission decides whether to permit a third runway at Heathrow.
A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said the industry expected Sir Howard Davies's report on airport expansion to be published later this week.
At its peak, more than nine million passengers a year passed through Terminal 1, which was the largest short-haul terminal in Western Europe.
In recent weeks, flights have been transferred to Terminal 2 and passengers numbers have fallen to just 1,700 and 17 flights a day.
Terminal 2 will be expanded to take the place of Terminal 1 and if the government supports a third runway at Heathrow then Terminal 2 will be extended further still.
Heathrow chief executive John Holland Kaye said; "The closure of Terminal 1 marks another important milestone in the transformation of Heathrow.
"Terminal 1 has served Britain well for nearly 50 years, but will soon make way for the expansion of Terminal 2, giving Britain a world class airport that we can all be proud of."

A judge at Birmingham Crown Court told Costco store manager Roger Cooper, 41, and ex-soldier David Cooper, 39, they must serve at least 30 years for killing 34-year-old Sameena Imam.
Ms Imam had been having a two-year affair with Roger Cooper and issued him with an ultimatum to leave his partner.
Her body was discovered buried in an allotment in Leicester in January.
An eight-week trial heard Roger Cooper spent at least a month plotting to kill Ms Imam - one of his three lovers - to prevent her exposing their affair.
The men bought poisonous metals, identified a shallow grave and communicated in text messages written in a Star Wars-based code before killing Ms Imam.
Ms Imam is believed to have been overpowered on a sofa at David Cooper's home in Leicester after being driven to the property from Coventry by his brother.
She was reported missing by family members in Essex after failing to return home for Christmas, sparking a major police inquiry.
Jailing the pair, Judge Patrick Thomas QC told the siblings: "The use of a poison in a case such as this demonstrates a cold-blooded intention to kill, regardless of the consequences.
"You worked together, hand in glove, in planning and carrying out the murder of a joyful and bubbly young woman, brutally betrayed by a man she loved and his brother."
After a jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts on Tuesday, the detective leading the murder hunt described the killing as "the most callous offence" she had ever investigated.
"Most murders that occur are spontaneous events driven by anger or jealousy, whereas in this case what we uncovered was weeks and weeks of planning to kill Sameena, numerous attempts on her life and a really unusual cause of death," said Det Chf Insp Caroline Marsh.
After the conviction, Ms Imam's family said nothing could have prepared them for discovering she had been murdered.
In a statement, her father Imam Din said: "As a family we are absolutely devastated at the loss of Sameena.
"It is hard for us to even imagine that an innocent, kind, beautiful girl could be murdered, let alone our daughter.
"We are still in shock and we are all missing Sameena in so many different ways."

"I've created a charity to help reduce crime in the community. That's been my life since my son died.
"I'm now prepared to hand that all over so I can help people."
She said she wanted to try and solve the various problems in the Tendring area of north east Essex.

Talbot, 67, was convicted at Lanark Sheriff Court of seven charges of indecent assault.
The offences, against boys aged 15 to 17, took place between 1978 and 1981.
They happened during separate trips to two locations - one near Moffat in southern Scotland, and one on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness.
The four-year sentence will start on 14 August, at the end of the punishment part of a five-year jail term Talbot is already serving for previous sex offences.
Sheriff Nikola Stewart said the former This Morning presenter had taken advantage of the innocence of his victims.
She told Talbot the boys "all trusted and all liked you".
Sheriff Stewart added: "They were keen to go on the camping trips and sailing trips that you organised, both informally and as official school trips.
"That trust and affection was grossly abused by you on repeated occasions as you preyed upon these young boys - some away from home and away from parental care for the first time, and all utterly unsuspecting of the sexual threat you posed to them."
Talbot was a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's This Morning show during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
At the time of the attacks, he was a biology teacher at a school in the Manchester area and took boys away on camping and boating trips.
During the trial, a succession of witnesses, now men in their 50s who cannot be named for legal reasons, told how Talbot abused his position of trust.
One man told the court he was indecently assaulted as a teenage boy after a visit to a pub on a camping trip left him "very much the worse for wear".
A further witness said he was left "petrified" when Talbot indecently assaulted him on a trip to the Caledonian Canal in 1979.
Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown, 54, who was not an alleged victim, also gave evidence at the trial and said he had never forgotten the moment Talbot invited one of his young friends to sleep in his tent on a school camping trip.
Talbot was previously jailed for five years at Manchester Crown Court in 2015 for the indecent assault of two 14-year-old boys.
NSPCC Scotland described Talbot as "a prolific abuser who carried out a series of attacks on children in his care".
A spokesman for the charity said: "Thanks to the bravery of his victims, he has again been brought to justice.
"Abuse ruins childhoods. Talbot used his position of trust as a teacher to prey on his victims and the attacks he carried out will have had long-lasting effects on them into adulthood.
"We hope the sentence imposed on him will help his victims finally overcome what happened to them.
"This case shows once again how important it is that those who have suffered abuse are able to come forward and see justice done."

The circumstances that led to this crushing advantage were not completely to do with Hamilton's superiority, but as an illustration of the gulf between the two title rivals on this day, it was as good as any.
There were others, though, too.
In the soaking wet first 15 laps of the race, when Hamilton was bottled up behind Rosberg, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo built a 13-second lead on the two Mercedes.
Once the German let him through following a team order, Hamilton pulled 10 seconds on the other Mercedes in five laps, as well as eating slowly into Ricciardo's lead.
After Rosberg stopped to fit intermediate tyres on lap 20, he was unable to pull clear of a train of cars featuring two Force Indias and Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari, despite his car's theoretical performance advantage.
In the course of the next round of pit stops to fit dry-weather slicks, partly because of a slow stop, Rosberg lost places to both Force India's Sergio Perez and Vettel, and found himself behind the McLaren of Fernando Alonso. Which he was unable to pass for the remaining 46 laps.
He was then mugged on the last lap by Perez's team-mate Nico Hulkenberg to finish an eventual seventh.
It was not, to say the least, one of Rosberg's better days.
Hamilton, meanwhile, drove one of his greatest races to take his first victory since he clinched the title in Austin in late October last year, and finally got his 2016 title campaign off the ground.
The tide was always going to turn sooner or later; Hamilton's luck, dreadful so far this season, always going to change eventually.
When it did, it came in the most dispiriting fashion for Rosberg, who throughout the Monaco weekend was reminded in the starkest terms of his team-mate's inherent superiority as a grand prix driver.

It started in the first half-hour of first practice, with a series of laps by Hamilton that emphasised his innate feel and sensitivity on one of the most challenging race tracks in the world.
For most of those 30 minutes, each driver got progressively faster as they built up speed and came to terms with the proximity of the walls and the quirks of the Monaco track for the first time in a year.
The difference was that Hamilton was well over a second - sometimes nearly two - quicker than Rosberg. No sooner would Rosberg make the margin more respectable than Hamilton would move the goalposts again.
This sort of thing is seen from Hamilton a lot, but it is never more stark than in these sorts of circumstances, which emphasise naked talent much more than similar situations on more modern, sanitised tracks.
Eventually, Rosberg got down to within 0.1-0.2secs of Hamilton, as he generally does. But the point had been made. One suspects it was done deliberately, as if to say, "Mate, you might have a 43-point lead in the championship, but can you do this? Didn't think so. That's what you're up against."
Later that afternoon, Mercedes received a shock in the form of the pace of Ricciardo's Red Bull, which was clearly quicker than them.
Part of their solution to that in terms of changes to the car was to give it a bit more oversteer - or pointy-ness - in a bid to aid rotation into corners.
Rosberg, sources close to him say, was never that comfortable with the car after that.
This could well be at least part of the explanation for Rosberg's lack of pace in the wet first part of the race.
He said he felt "a complete lack of confidence in the car". He didn't dare go near the limit, he said, otherwise he would have hit the barriers.
He was at a loss to explain what had gone on, but it seems likely this may well have led to a vicious downward spiral of contributing factors.
Not being pushed hard, the tyres would lose heat and pressure. Which would mean he was not able to work the brakes as hard as normal. Which would explain the brake temperature problems he experienced. Which would further take the tyres out of their ideal window. And so on.
Somehow, despite being held to Rosberg's pace behind him, Hamilton managed to keep his tyres and brakes in their window so that the pace was immediately there when Mercedes made the only call they could and ordered Rosberg to let him by.
Rosberg said it was "simple" to accept it, albeit "painful", knowing that the reason it had been made was that otherwise Mercedes were throwing away any chance of winning.
But it says a lot for him that he responded to it with alacrity and equanimity, knowing that he was almost certainly consigning himself to losing a significant chunk of his points advantage to Hamilton, who was right to thank him publicly for being a gentleman afterwards.
If his struggles in the race came at an awkward time for a man in the middle of negotiations over a new contract, his behaviour in this situation will have gone a long way to counteracting the impact of his performance.
Once released, Hamilton drove a superb race, matched only by Ricciardo, his only rival for victory.
He and his engineers gambled on staying out on the 'extreme' wet tyres when everyone else stopped for intermediates, knowing that was their only way of getting into the lead.
Impressively, on a drying track, on heavily treaded tyres that were now more than 20 laps old, Hamilton was lapping not far off the pace - and sometimes more or less on it - that Rosberg was doing on the intermediate tyres behind him. While managing to hold off a charging Ricciardo at the same time.
He finally bailed on those tyres after 31 laps. At this point, the valiant gamble should have failed, but the race was handed to him when Red Bull made another terrible strategic fumble - their second in two races.
Ricciardo stopped for slick tyres the next time around, and a stunning in-lap, combined with Hamilton's slow out lap, should have got him comfortably out into the lead, which would almost certainly have become a well-deserved victory.
But because of what Red Bull team boss Christian Horner described as a "communication error", the tyres Ricciardo's engineer chose for the car were at the back of the garage, and a pit stop from the Keystone Cops followed, losing 10 seconds. Ricciardo exited the pits as Hamilton flew by into the first corner.
And this was the next superlative part of Hamilton's race. Now it was his turn to struggle. Ricciardo, one of the most improvisational overtakers in F1, was clearly faster. But the Mercedes held the Red Bull back.
The closest it got was on lap 37, when at one of several re-starts after periods of the virtual safety car, Ricciardo pressured Hamilton into braking too late and going in to the chicane too shallow and deep. He cut a part of the corner, lost momentum on the exit and had to give the Red Bull a bit of a chop on the harbour front to keep it behind.
On another day, he might have been penalised for gaining an advantage by going off the track - Ricciardo certainly felt it worth a question. But the stewards felt it to be within the bounds of acceptability and did the F1 equivalent of waving play on.
Ricciardo never got as close again. Suddenly Hamilton was setting fastest laps, and it became clear he had been measuring out his tyre life to ensure they made the distance - which was a stretch given the 45 laps they were being asked to do.
All in all, it was a weekend that emphasised the difference between a very good driver and a great one.
At 24 points, Rosberg still has a substantial lead. But Monaco was a reminder that in these sorts of races, when steady progression through a weekend is thrown out of the window, when the weather throws up a wildcard, when drivers have to adapt on the hoof, when the car is difficult, Hamilton is more often than not on another level to Rosberg.
He has continued to deny it whenever asked, but Rosberg must know that this year may well be the best chance he ever gets to win a world championship.
It is hard to imagine that circumstances will ever again conspire in the way misfortune has hit Hamilton this year to give Rosberg a 43-point lead after five races.
Whenever the size of his advantage has been pointed out to him this year, he has generally responded by saying Hamilton is still as quick as ever and will inevitably bounce back.
In Monaco, it happened, and the brutal nature of it cannot have done other than knock Rosberg back.
He is a resilient man, who has bounced back from worse than this. But how Rosberg responds - to this and to the extra threat of a now-resurgent Red Bull - will be a significant aspect of what defines the rest of the season, and how effectively he manages to keep Hamilton at bay.
If indeed he can.
The event at the TPC Louisiana was shortened to three rounds after several delays due to rain and thunderstorms.
Stuard, 33, was level at 15 under with compatriot Jamie Lovemark and South Korean An Byeong-hun after 54 holes.
He won at the second extra hole, the par-five 18th, after a superb third shot to three feet led to a birdie.
After disruption on both Thursday and Saturday, only three hours of play were possible on Sunday because of further bad weather.
When the tournament resumed on Monday, world number one Jason Day had four birdies in six holes in a closing 66 to finish two shots off the lead.

Harry Starrett was found unconscious in a milking parlour on his grandparent's farm on Ballynahonemore Road, just outside Armagh city, on Tuesday.
An ambulance was called to the farm at 17:15 BST but the child died.
Canon John McKegney said preliminary results of a post mortem examination suggest the cause of death was natural.
He said the tests had ruled out initial reports that the child may have been overcome by slurry gases.
The death is still the subject of a farm investigation by the Health and Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI).
Canon John McKegney, told the BBC: "It has been reported that it was fumes, but actually he wasn't anywhere near the slurry pit, he was in the milking parlour.
"Before the cattle came in he was pulling down the clusters, which is something he often did and helped his grandfather in that way.
"When his grandfather went in, just after him, he was lying unconscious and never recovered."
Canon McKegney is a retired minister from St Mark's Parish Church in Armagh and will conduct Harry's funeral later this week.
He described the child as a "bright, cheerful" boy.
"(He was) full of beans, full of life full of joy and someone who absolutely idolised the farm," he said.
Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said: "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of this young boy.
"My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends at this difficult time."
DUP councillor Freda Donnelly, who knows the family well, said: "Harry was a lovely, friendly, happy-go-lucky wee boy who just loved farming.
"The family are very well known and highly respected in the area. Anyone I have spoken to is absolutely devastated. The death of a child is every parent's worst nightmare."
President of the Ulster Farmers Union Harry Sinclair said everyone was in a state of shock.
"Our thoughts go to that family and the whole agriculture community will be thinking of that family," he said.
Lord Mayor of Armagh Robert Turner said: "The entire area is in a state of shock that a six-year-old boy has lost his life," he said.
"I know his family and I wish to pass on my sincere condolences."
Cathal Boylan, who is an Sinn Féin MLA for the Newry and Armagh area, described the death as "an absolute tragedy".
"Both I and my Sinn Féin colleagues, and indeed the whole community, will be thinking of this child's family in the days and weeks ahead," he said.

Benn, 53, and Collins, 52, have told BBC Sport they have agreed to meet again, 21 years after their last fight.
"If it was a charity match, the British Boxing Board of Control might turn a blind eye," said Bunce. "But neither would make enough money."
Benn told 5 live there were "other avenues" for getting a licence.
British fighters David Haye and Dereck Chisora obtained clearance from Luxembourg's boxing federation prior to their fight at Upton Park in July 2012.
"They will not fight in this country under BBBofC rules," said Bunce. "You can forget that.
"That means it will take place under a Maltese licence or some other foreign body."
Londoner Benn feels he could convince the BBBofC that he is fit enough to compete.
But Dublin-born Collins, who beat Benn twice in 1996, and leading promoter Eddie Hearn do not think the organisation will sanction the fight.
BBBofC general secretary Robert Smith said on Thursday that neither Benn nor Collins had applied for a licence to fight again.
He said the only age limit imposed on those applying is they must be over 18, but added: "The older you get, the more unlikely it is."
Smith said he would be "surprised" if anyone wanted to promote the fight.
The BBBofC seeks to "minimise risk" and ensure boxers are "fully prepared" when giving the go-ahead for them to compete.
Obtaining a licence involves a series of administrative tasks but, more importantly, fighters must also pass brain scans, medicals and blood-testing.
Both Benn and Collins say they are healthy.
Bunce said: "They are in sensational shape. Nigel Benn has been as fit for 21 years since he left the ring as Steve Collins has since he left the ring, and they left the ring just 11 months apart.
"They have been close to having fights. Two weeks ago they sat together at a dinner and the penny dropped.
"What is good about this is both of them know they can only fight men of the same age, with the same amount of decline, stamina loss and power loss.
"They are peak for their age but they are their age. At some point, after five or 10 minutes, they will be blowing hard."
Collins says his motivation is purely financial, while Benn hopes to find "closure" from boxing and insists he is fitter than late in a career which ended with his second defeat by Collins.
But his son Conor, who is unbeaten in six fights as a welterweight, feels Benn should "leave it" and says he would refuse to work in his corner on fight night.
Collins' son, Steve Collins Jr, is also a boxer and has lost just one of his 12 fights at light-heavyweight.
After BBC Sport published news of the potential bout involving his father, he tweeted: "When I'm 50-something and have a mid-life crisis, I will just buy a new motorbike. You get me."
Hearn, who oversees Matchroom Sport's boxing events, told Sky Sports: "It would be almost sad to see those guys return to the ring.
"Nigel is in great shape. I watched him growing up and he's one of my favourite fighters of all time.
"For me, sit on the sofa and enjoy the legacy you created in this sport."
Harry Clarke, 58, is accused of driving a car on 20 September despite losing his licence for medical reasons.
Mr Clarke blacked out while driving a council lorry which crashed in Glasgow city centre on 22 December last year.
He had previously fainted while working as a bus driver but failed disclose it when he joined the council.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "A 58-year-old man was arrested in connection with alleged traffic offences. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal."
Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the bin lorry crash in the city's Queen Street and George Square.
Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel.
A further 15 people were injured.
A fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the deaths heard DVLA officials withdrew Mr Clarke's car licence for 12 months and banned him from driving HGVs for 10 years on 25 June this year.
Amid the fanfare of the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals at the UN, the leaders pledged that by 2030 nobody anywhere in the world would live in extreme poverty - currently measured as living on less than $1.25 (88p) a day.
The key aim of the Millennium Development Goals - replaced by the SDGs at the turn of the year - was that extreme poverty would be halved.
That happened during the lifetime of the MDGs and it was no mean achievement. But it was largely because of progress in the world's two most populous nations - China and India.
Development experts say the challenge now of finishing the job in just 15 years will be even more demanding.
Millions who have been left behind so far in the battle against poverty will not be lifted out of it by economic growth alone - instability, proneness to disasters, weak governance, corruption and discrimination of various kinds are among the factors that can make it so hard to escape severe poverty.
After decades of covering the complexities of development and humanitarian crises as a BBC correspondent, I have just made a return journey to countries and to hard-pressed families I have reported on in the past.
When I met Makaru Rana in the late 90s in the state of Odisha in eastern India, he and his family were just setting off to work for several months in the brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh.
Their small farming community had been hit by drought and a bad harvest and many families were undertaking the same long train journey in the hope of earning enough to see them through the lean times. But I followed Makaru to the brick kilns and saw what a tough life they had there and how little they would eventually take away with them.
Much has changed in India in the intervening years. But meeting Makaru and his family again now, it quickly became obvious how little the pattern of their lives has been affected. And drought has hit them once again.
Today there are more schemes to help the poor - including rice rations, 100 days of guaranteed labour and pensions for the elderly. But the actual provision of such social protection is erratic, according to villagers.
Makaru has a black-and-white TV now, run off a car battery. But his 18-year-old daughter Niladri had to finish school two years ago because of lack of funds.
And now they were about to go to the brick kilns again - though today the villagers have been able to bargain for higher wages there.
Even so, while we were with Makaru and his family we worked through their household finances and calculated that their total income last year - from both the brick kilns and the sale of the rice they produce beyond their own needs - was $1,550 (£1,080)
for four people (Makaru, his wife and two youngest children), well below the threshold of extreme poverty.
Back in 2002, I went to Malawi to follow up a letter I received from a post office clerk, Innocent Nkhoma, who had heard me on the BBC. He wrote about famine striking his area and of the loss of his daughter.
Landlocked Malawi remains a deeply impoverished country, despite having received substantial aid and never experiencing the impact of conflict.
Returning to meet Innocent 13 years on, I found that he believes his family are actually worse off today.
The major change in their circumstances is that the post office was privatised in 2003 and he lost his job. It was several years before he finally found a more poorly paid permanent job as an assistant in a small rural health centre.
Innocent and his wife Agnes lost a house that had been provided by the government and they also have to rent a piece of land to fend for the family, now doubled in size to six children.
Innocent told us he earns $50-$60 a month from his job today at the clinic - to take care of the whole family.
In his late 40s, Innocent wants to study further to improve his chances of earning more. And he would like Agnes to run a small business.
The daily lives of such families are the reality check that reaches beyond the rhetoric of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The SDGs call for the income of the poorest 40% in each country to grow at a higher rate than the overall average. But squaring growth with the urgent need to do more to protect the planet is likely to be one of the core challenges.
History tells us that there is no single blueprint for ending poverty, particularly at a time like this when there is such mass displacement of people caused by conflict as well as by impoverishment.
It is also clear today that some of the best solutions to poverty come from the ground up.
But if the ambitions of the SDGs are to be achieved and sceptics confounded, it may also depend on whether the political will behind them is itself sustained.

The Office for National Statistics said 21,000 more Scots were in work, compared with the previous quarter, bringing the total to 2,631,000.
Scotland now has the highest employment rate out of the four UK nations, and is outperforming the UK as a whole.
For the first time, employment in Scotland is now higher than it was before the recession.
The rate north of the border reached 74.9% over the quarter - above the level of 74.6% recorded prior to the economic crisis.
Meanwhile, Scottish unemployment fell by 11,000 and now stands at 152,000.
The unemployment rate was down by 0.7% to 5.4% - the largest quarterly fall since the summer of 2014.
The UK jobless rate fell to 5.1% in the three months to November - its lowest rate since the three-month period to October 2005,
The number of people claiming Job Seeker's Allowance also fell by 2,300 from November to 64,300 in December. The figure is 20,400 lower than the same month last year.
Scotland's Fair Work Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "I am very pleased to note this month's figures, which reinforce the positive longer-term trends in Scotland's labour market, notwithstanding recent and ongoing volatility with Labour Market Statistics."
The SNP minister said: "Employment has continued to rise and unemployment to fall - with more Scots in work than ever before. Youth employment figures continue to be strong, outperforming the UK statistics.
"However, we are not complacent and we recognise that a number of significant challenges remain beneath these encouraging headline figures."
The UK government's Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "These positive figures mean more people in Scotland are in work, better able to support their families and contributing to our economic growth and security.
"The UK government is delivering the foundations for a stronger and more resilient economy and Scotland is benefiting from that.
"But we know that there is more to do, especially with the serious challenge posed by the fall in the oil price and the effect that will have on the north east of Scotland and the wider Scottish economy."
Scottish Trades Union Congress general secretary Grahame Smith said: "There is no doubt that today's figures are very positive with a significant increase in employment and a similar fall in unemployment.
"It is noteworthy that the employment rate has now achieved its pre-recession peak.
"However, once again, men account for all the growth in jobs and most of the fall in unemployment.
"Given that there's no plausible explanation for the rapidly deteriorating relative position of women in the Scottish labour market, the STUC is concerned at the quality of the gender disaggregated statistics and would encourage ONS to reassess its processes in this respect."
Conor D'Arcy, policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation think tank, said: "Scotland has reached an important milestone this morning, finally returning to the employment rate it experienced before the recession.
"However, with this landmark event coming some 15 months after England closed its 'jobs gap', there is still work to be done.
"The challenge now is to convert today's encouraging signs on employment into a sustained long-term trend. This will be essential if Scotland is to maintain its newly-acquired pay lead over England in the coming years."
The 24-year-old is understood to have attracted interest from Championship rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers.
But a senior Cardiff source has indicated the Bluebirds will want "at least £5m or £6m" for the former Republic of Ireland Under-21 forward.
Mason joined Cardiff from Plymouth Argyle in 2011 for £250,000 and has scored 22 goals in 60 League starts.
This season Mason has chipped in with six goals, enjoying a prolonged run in the team having had three loan spells at Bolton Wanderers during previous campaigns.
Cardiff are under a transfer embargo, but chief executive Ken Choo made it clear the club would not be forced to sell their best players as a result of the restriction.
The club are also looking to draft in at least three players on loan.
Mason and midfielder Joe Ralls, 22, are seen by the club as prized young assets.
West Yorkshire Police said the man was taken to hospital at about 15:00 GMT on Christmas Eve with abdominal injuries.
Part of Thornville Road, close to the junction with Alexandra Road, in Burley, Leeds, was cordoned off, while officers carried out forensic searches.
Police said the injured man had undergone surgery and is described as being in a stable condition.
Det Ch Insp Mark McManus said: "The incident continues to be treated as a targeted attack."
He said that two vehicles met at the location of the shooting, close to a BP petrol station.
"Officers have recovered a white-coloured Audi vehicle, but we are still keen to trace a dark or black-coloured hatchback car which we believe is connected to those involved in the shooting."
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
From December to the middle of April, the organisation assesses the risk of snow slides in five areas - Creag Meagaidh, Glencoe, Lochaber, Northern Cairngorms and Southern Cairngorms.
This winter, Torridon was added on a trial basis.
The latest season recorded one of the highest numbers of avalanches in years. Following a record high last winter, there were no deaths caused by avalanches this time around.
A warning to off piste skiers and snowboarders in the Southern Cairngorms.
Initial figures suggest 350 avalanches were recorded by the SAIS. Service co-ordinator Mark Diggins said: "We have had more reported naturally-occurring avalanches this year than last, although this number is a guide only as many more avalanches may have taken place but not been recorded."
The higher rate of avalanches was largely due to continual stormy weather periods with significant snowfall above 600m (1,968ft) interspersed with sharp temperature rises, said Mr Diggins. He added: "Because of the significant amount of snow accumulation a number of these avalanches were very large and travelled long distances."
The stormy weather - particular frequent high winds that can be seen above blowing streams of water uphill in Lochaber - impacted on the numbers of people visiting Scotland's mountains this winter. Mr Diggins said: "It has been a frustrating winter for climbers, walkers, skiers and boarders, but many mountain goers have been aware of the heightened hazards this winter and have been more selective in what they do and where they go."
The latest SAIS season saw no avalanche-related fatalities, whereas avalanches caused the deaths of eight people during the 2012-13 season - the highest figure in years.
One of the greatest avalanche risks this winter was large overhanging edges of snow, called cornices.
A crack in a large cornice documented by the SAIS Lochaber forecasting team. The overhangs are created by heavy snowfalls and persistent winds blowing in generally the same direction. Mr Diggins said: "In the Lochaber area, senior forecaster Graham Moss identified that we had twice as much snowfall than last winter."

Several of the forecasters were accompanied by their dogs on avalanche risk assessments. The dogs also helped to illustrate the wintry conditions in images uploaded to the SAIS blogs.

"The winter has been a challenging one for the SAIS forecaster team," said Mr Diggins. "Not only because of the strong winds and blizzards presenting physical challenges, but also the very dynamic weather systems presenting a continually changing snowpack situation which required considerable focus in producing the daily avalanche forecasts."
The committee said "the gift of longer life" could lead to "a series of crises" in public service provision.
Peers said big changes in pensions, health care and employment practices were needed to help people "sustain a good quality of life" as they aged.
The government said supporting people in later life was a priority.
The Lords committee on public service and demographic change cited figures from the Office for National Statistics that forecast a 50% rise in the number of over-65s and a doubling in over-85s between 2010 and 2030.

The committee has been looking into the impact of demographic change on the UK for nearly a year and has questioned a number of government figures, including Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, as well as academics, charities and companies such as Alliance Boots and B&Q.
Publishing its findings, the committee said the fact people were living longer offered benefits for many but also threatened a "series of crises" unless action was taken to mitigate the impact on public services.
With the number of people living with long-term medical conditions set to rise sharply, a "radically different model" of care would be needed to support people in their homes and to prevent pressure on the NHS, it said.
The committee is calling on the government to set out its thinking on the issue before the next election and for all parties to consider the implications for public spending, in their next election manifestos.
Whoever was in power after the next election, the committee said, should establish independent commissions to examine how pension and savings provisions could be increased, how equity release could be better exploited and how funding for social care could be improved.
"As a country we are not ready for the rapid ageing of our population," Lord Filkin, the Labour peer who chairs the committee, said.
"The amazing gift of longer life is to be welcomed, but our society and politicians need to address the implications and the changes needed to attitude, policies and services so people are best able to benefit from it."
He warned these challenges were not a "distant issue".
"Our population is older now and will get more so over the next decade. The public are entitled to an honest conversation about the implications," he said.

A leading think tank said the report should be a wake-up call for government and society as a whole and that individuals would have to take more responsibility for their health and income in retirement.
"Our society is in denial of the inevitability of ageing," said Baroness Greengross, chief executive of the International Longevity Centre UK and a crossbench member of the House of Lords. "We have put off the difficult decisions for far too long."
"The report paints a picture of a health and care system which doesn't work for today's older population. Similarly our communities, housing and transport systems are ill-equipped for the challenges ahead."
Policymakers should not be afraid to tell people they will need to work longer and that state pension ages may need to increase further as healthy life expectancy changes, she added.
The Department of Health said supporting people in later life was a priority for the government.
"That is why we took the decision to invest £7.2 billion over four years to protect access to care and support and for the first time ever are bringing in a cap on care fees to make old age care costs more sustainable," a spokesman said.

"However, we cannot improve care and support by putting ever more money into the system. Many local authorities are innovating and achieving much greater integration between health and care services, thereby improving care for people and optimising use of resources available."
For Labour, Liz Kendall said: "This excellent report rightly emphasises the huge contribution older people already make to the economy and in their communities, and that more should be done to ensure older people can play an even fuller role in future.
"I particularly welcome the committee's call for radical reform of the NHS and social care. We need far bolder changes to ensure these services are fully integrated, with a much bigger focus on prevention to help people stay healthy and living independently for longer."
The situation has deteriorated since 1 April, when IS launched an assault.
Before that the camp had been under siege by government forces for months, creating a grave humanitarian crisis.
It is unclear whether all Palestinian factions in the camp have agreed to Syrian government intervention.
Anti-government Palestinian militiamen from Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis and some Free Syrian Army fighters have been leading the fight against IS.
"The operation will be conducted in co-operation between the Palestinian groups in Syria and the Syrian government through a joint operation centre," Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) official Ahmed Majdalani - who is heading a Palestinian delegation in Damascus - told the BBC.
Who exactly will do what in the operation, and how the plan will work, is far from clear, the BBC's Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis was not involved in the agreement - it has been co-operating with Syrian rebels battling both government forces and Islamic State, our correspondent reports.
If the new agreement ends up seeing Syrian troops moving into the camp with the PLO's blessing, the government is likely to be accused by some of manipulating the situation to take control of a highly strategic area on the approaches to the city centre, he adds.
On Wednesday, the UN Security Council demanded humanitarian access to the camp, with one UN official describing the situation for the 18,000 refugees there as "beyond inhumane".
The Palestinian ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, has appealed to member nations to relocate the refugees elsewhere in Syria or abroad.
A few hundred people were reported to have managed to escape the camp over the weekend.
Monitors say IS and the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front, who have fought each other in other parts of Syria, are working together in Yarmouk.
Syria's bloody conflict, which has entered its fifth year, has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Syrians.
The battle between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, rebels opposed to his rule and Islamic State has also driven more than 11 million people from their homes.
Yarmouk was first built for Palestinians fleeing the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Before the Syrian civil war began, it had more than 150,000 refugees living there and had its own mosques, schools and public buildings. But since 2012, the camp has been besieged by fighting.
The stab victim was injured in the chest on 8 March outside property in Sefton Drive, Bomere Heath, and another woman had head injuries.
Wayne Williams, 54, of Sefton Drive, admitted one count of attempted murder and one of grievous bodily harm with intent.
He will be sentenced at Stafford Crown Court on 10 July.

The prescription drug modafinil, prescribed for sleep disorders, is used to stay awake to increase study time.
Students' health service director Dr Dominique Thompson said she had witnessed a rise in the number of students admitting taking it.
She said she had also seen a handful of students suffering from side effects.
Dr Thompson said modafinil - labelled the "world's first safe smart drug" - would not be prescribed to students to help them study.
She added that she had noticed an increase in the drug's use at the university in the past five years.
She and colleagues had also seen "three or four" students suffering from side effects in the past 12 months, she claimed.
Dr Thompson said the drug can make people "very jittery, anxious and on edge" and "unable to sleep for a very long time".
"The brain continues to form and develop until about the age 25, so if you're 18-20 taking medications that are specifically stimulants and related to amphetamines, I think there's a high risk something might go wrong," she said.
She warned the long-term side effects of the drug's use were "still unknown", and warned against buying the drug online because "you don't know what you're buying".
One university student who has admitted taking the legal drug, Harry Vokins, said he used it because he wanted to "get the best grade I can".
Another student, Luke Higgins, said he had used it "because of pressure to do well".
Dr Thompson said "an estimated 20% to 40%" of university students nationally had used smart drugs.
A spokesman said the university took the issue of "illegal drugs of any sort very seriously" including the so-called study/smart drugs without a medical prescription.
"The number of users of these drugs who seek help from our student services remains a very small percentage of the student population, with just a handful of cases among our 22,000 students," he said.
Among those arrested was a senior official from the cultural agency that looks after archaeological sites in Rome.
Opposition protesters from the anti-establishment Five Star movement called on the mayor to step down.
Mr Marino swiftly rejected their calls.
An estimated 100 people are being investigated as part of the "Mafia Capital" inquiry into allegations that elected officials and business figures were part of a crime syndicate targeting Rome contracts.
The latest six arrests come after 44 people were detained last week on suspicion of links to Massimo Carminati, a one-eyed alleged gangster detained late last year on suspicion of running the syndicate. He is also a former member of an outlawed far-right group.
One of the key contracts being investigated is the restoration of the Julius Caesar assembly hall, where Rome councillors meet on Capitoline Hill.
That was inaugurated in 2010 by former Mayor Gianni Alemanno, who has himself been detained as part of the inquiry.
The corruption inquiry is also looking into alleged rigging of public contracts for the setting up of migrant reception centres, which has become a highly lucrative source of income because of the Mediterranean boat crisis.
Tuesday's developments prompted a crowd of protesters to gather outside city hall, calling for the current Mayor, Ignazio Marino, to stand down.
A centre-left colleague of Mr Marino did resign and some opposition figures said the entire council should be dissolved.
Organised crime continues to affect cities across Italy and when Sergio Mattarella became president earlier this year he singled it out as a "pervasive cancer" and an absolute priority.
Warrington and two other authorities drew up a bid in 2015, but the town's Labour councillors rejected it in 2016.
Council leader Terry O'Neill said it was "the best we can get on the table" after the Labour-led authority approved joining the scheme.
Warrington North MP Helen Jones warned it may "come back to haunt" the town.
Labour councillors had been split over whether to join the Liverpool City Region or pursue a deal with Cheshire West & Chester and Cheshire East councils.
The bid with the Cheshire councils would see the area become a combined authority with an elected mayor.
Mr O'Neill said Cheshire devolution was "a better and simpler deal", adding: "We've got control of our own destiny, and hopefully it will benefit our communities in these very austere times."
A cross-party devolution group had agreed, with a majority, that joining Merseyside councils "would best serve Warrington and best enable it to deliver its aspirations".
However, a report to the council argued that it was "uncertain to what extent Warrington's aspirations and priorities would be reflected in those of the Liverpool City Region".
Ms Jones, who backed the Liverpool City Region plan as the "best option", said she was "far from convinced the economic basis of a Cheshire deal was sound".
Warrington council said the devolution deal would see extra funding for business growth and new infrastructure, a new body to oversee local transport, the creation of up to 127,000 new homes and a programme to "enhance the lives" of disadvantaged families.
The plan for devolved power and funding will be subject to a public consultation later this year, followed by further votes at the three participating councils.
Masked men opened fire on the vehicle, injuring three other soldiers, it said.
It accused the banned Muslim Brotherhood of being behind the attack. No group has claimed responsibility.
It is the latest in a series of attacks on security forces across Egypt in recent months and comes amid a crackdown on the Brotherhood movement.
The BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo says this attack will raise concerns that Islamist militants are broadening their campaign of violence, which has killed hundreds of police and soldiers in recent months.
Militants have been targeting the army on an almost daily basis in the strategic Sinai peninsula, and they have shown their reach, by attacking police headquarters in Cairo and elsewhere, our correspondent says.
But military sources say this was the first attack on the army in the capital, our correspondent adds.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the military accused "armed men belonging to the terrorist Brotherhood group of targeting an armed forces bus... in Al-Amiriyah district".
The Brotherhood has denied similar accusations in the past.
It was designated a terrorist group in December and thousands of its members have been arrested and many put on trial since the military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last summer.
Presidential elections are due to be held in April and military chief Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is expected to stand.
Gracie, 10, walks half a mile from her home to Freeport Braintree, Essex, every day from 09:00 until it closes.
Her owner Lee Johnston said he created a Facebook page after receiving several calls a day from worried shoppers.
"She's savvy with cars. This is what she's always done, and she's always come out unscathed," he said.
Mr Johnston said spreading the word about Gracie's shopping habit had been a "battle at the start", but the Facebook page seemed to have "sorted it out".
"Once I explain how she loves Freeport, people accept it. I have to convince them that's just what she does," he said.
Gracie, who was rescued from a centre in Witham, was originally from Wembley according to her microchip - and no-one is quite sure how she travelled the 60 miles in between.
"We think she likes people and shops because she was brought up in the city," Mr Johnston said.
"She likes to pop into a shop, have a look around, go in another, maybe have a sleep.
"She likes sitting in people's laps, a bit of company. She goes in changing rooms."
Mr Johnston said if shops did not appreciate her company they "kicked her out", but she had been made welcome in most stores.
Freeport's manager Josef O'Sullivan said Gracie had become a "very popular visitor" at the centre since moving to Braintree 10 months ago.
"Gracie has become a frequent visitor to Freeport Braintree and almost treats the centre as her second home," he said.
"[She] has become quite the 'celebrity' amongst our retailers and visitors. If only cats could spend money..."
Chris Foote Wood, the late comedienne's brother, said he was "revising the book to ensure this aspect of her life is reduced and put in its proper context".
Victoria Wood Comedy Genius - Her Life and Work will now be published on 25 November.
It will reportedly feature extracts from diaries written by Wood's father.
Victoria Wood died of cancer in April at the age of 62.
The Sunday Mirror reported over the weekend that Foote Wood's book featured extracts from a journal written by Wood's father Stanley.
The extracts are understood to be critical of his daughter's eating habits, mood swings and penchant for watching television.
A spokesman for Wood's children, Grace and Henry Durham, said they had not been aware of Foote Wood's book and that an "official" biography would be published next year.
In a statement, Foote Wood insisted he had written to Wood's children and his two surviving sisters of his plans to write a biography.
"To say the rest of our family did not know about my book is totally untrue," he said.
"I make no apology for writing this book," his statement reads. "It tells Victoria's... full story, from unpromising beginnings to national treasure.
"It cannot be a 'betrayal' to tell the full, true story, especially as Vic herself has made public her early [weight] problems."
Foote Wood is also behind a campaign to create a statue of the entertainer in her home town of Bury.

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) said a radiation emergency was "no longer reasonably foreseeable" at the Trawsfynydd plant, Gwynedd.
It has now lifted a near one-mile emergency planning area around the site in the event of an incident.
Decommissioning began in 1995, two years after it ceased operating.
An ONR report said owner Magnox were due to begin a long term care and maintenance programme from 2016.
It plans to allow remaining structures to be "kept in a passively safe and secure state for a great number of years in order to allow for radiation levels to naturally decay over time".
Gwynedd council and Magnox still have other legal duties and emergency arrangements in place to protect the public, said the regulator.
Robert Zemeckis's film The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit, was the opening night film of the New York Film Festival on Saturday.
The film charts Petit's efforts to tightrope between the towers in 1974.
Mixed reviews have seen critics call the film both a "glimmering dream" and "wholly false".
Petit's tale was first committed to film in James Marsh's award-winning 2008 documentary Man on Wire.
Zemeckis's film uses 3D and visual effects to capture the daredevil crossing between the North and South towers - and opens next month with a nine-day run in Imax theatres.
"Robert Zemeckis's glimmering dream of a film, which opens the 2015 New York Film Festival, takes two buildings that have become emblematic of everything that's frightening and uncertain about 21st century life in the West and redeems them," writes Robbie Collin in the Daily Telegraph.
"When the walk itself begins... everything else - the earlier scenes, the screen, the cinema - just melts away," he continues. "Petit is up there and so are you."
"Even when The Walk inspires the eyes, the brain registers little but banality," counters Nigel M Smith, in the Guardian.
"For the whole of its two-hour running time, it plays like a Disney cartoon, right down to the hammy sidekicks who aid Petit on his mission."
"There is no semblance of reality here. As a live action film, The Walk rings wholly false," he determines.
Skill
The US press fell more on the side of Zemeckis's film, with some caveats.
Industry magazine Variety declared The Walk "a thrilling 3D, all-angles view of an experience that, until now, only one man on Earth could claim to have lived".
But Michael Phillips wrote, in the Chicago Tribune, "I cannot say how I'd feel about The Walk if I'd never seen Man on Wire... I can only say The Walk struck me as an honourable good try of an also-ran".
The New York Times seemed to sum up the dichotomy of feeling: "The first half of the movie treads the boundary between mildly irritating and completely unbearable," begins AO Scott, but ultimately concludes that Zemeckis "used all his brazenness and skill to make something that, once it leaves the ground, defies not only gravity, but time as well".
Speaking at the premiere in New York, where the film was rapturously received by the audience, leading man Gordon-Levitt said the film summed up an experience that could not satisfactorily be described by words.

The actor, who was in Los Angeles when he was offered the role, said he knew he was going to star in the Old Vic production two pages into the script.
"When you read something that great the decision's already made," he continued.
Art, in which three friends fall out over the purchase of a painting, runs until 18 February.
Sewell, who last appeared in the West End in 2013, said he would not have done the show had his young daughter not been able to join him in London for Christmas.
"I couldn't have taken the job if that hadn't happened," he told the BBC this week. "It's the most important thing for me."
The 49-year-old also revealed there were "limited possibilities" for him to reprise his role as Lord Melbourne in the second series of ITV's regal drama Victoria.
The original London production of Yasmina Reza's Art opened in 1996 with Sir Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney and Ken Stott.
The play went on to be staged on Broadway and translated into 20 languages.
Regular cast changes, meanwhile, kept it running in the West End until 1999.
Director Matthew Warchus said enough time had now elapsed for the show to be brought back at the Old Vic, where he is artistic director.
"We're at the point now where we've left enough time," he told the BBC after Tuesday's press night.
"We've got actors the right age who were never in it, and people in the audience who have never seen it."
Paul Ritter and Tim Key join Sewell in what Warchus describes as "a play about men's dysfunctional way of relating to each other".
"It looks like a well-behaved boulevard comedy on the surface, but it is actually quite violent, wild and passionate," he continued.
Reviews of Warchus 's production have been broadly positive, with the Guardian applauding what it called a "finely shaded character study".
"A play that in 1996 eventually turned into a revolving door for celebrities can now be seen in all its complex purity," wrote critic Michael Billington.
The Times said the play felt "absolutely spanking fresh", while the Independent praised the "elegant lightness of touch" of Warchus's direction.
The Evening Standard felt the show was "slightly underwhelming" but concluded it still made for "an agreeable divertissement".

The Army took over Imber on Salisbury Plain during World War II to use the area for training. Residents had to move out and were never allowed back.
It has been used by the military ever since. They allow access to the village on a handful of occasions each year.
The service at St Giles Church took place at 14:30 GMT. The church bells will also ring on Christmas Day for the first time in more than 70 years.
The Ministry of Defence is allowing access on 25 December so bellringer Jenny Hancox can ring the church bells on her birthday.
In 1943, people living in Imber were told to leave so the Army could prepare for D-Day, and the village now resembles a ghost town.
The original church bells were taken out in 1950 but in 2010, a group of bellringers installed some new bells and select services have taken place ever since.
The boy, now aged four, was conceived through artificial insemination of one of the women in Belgium.
Under French law that procedure is not explicitly open to lesbian couples. The judge said the law had been violated.
France legalised gay marriage nearly a year ago. The Versailles judge's ruling was "homophobic", said ADFH, a group representing homosexual parents.
ADFH said French law had failed to protect the rights of the child.
A lesbian rights activist, Nathalie Allain-Djerrah of Enfants d'Arc-en-ciel (Rainbow Children), said the ruling "shows in a blatant and violent way how inequality persists between the children of homosexual parents and those of heterosexual parents".
According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, in similar cases French judges have allowed lesbian couples to adopt infants since gay marriage was legalised.
France's same-sex marriage law also legalised gay adoption. Opponents staged huge rallies against it but President Francois Hollande signed the "Taubira" bill into law after months of heated debate.
Hungary will use "all possible legal means in the European Union to show solidarity with the Poles", he said.
Earlier, Poland's Senate backed a bill that gives MPs and the justice minister the power to appoint judges.
The ruling Law and Justice Party says this will fight corruption. Critics say it will destroy judicial independence.
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in recent weeks to oppose the bill, which will see all Supreme Court judges removed and replaced.
Poland's President, Andrzej Duda, will decide whether or not judges - who will be forced into retirement - can have their jobs back.
Speaking at a gathering in Romania, Mr Orban attacked critics, saying: "In the interest of Europe and in the spirit of the old Hungarian-Polish friendship, the inquisition campaign against Poland can never lead to success."
The Polish government says the changes will make the judiciary more effective and ensure that judges are accountable.
However, European Council President and former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has condemned the move as "backward".
"Bringing the courts under the control of the governing party in the manner proposed by the Law and Justice Party will ruin the already tarnished public opinion about Polish democracy", he said in a statement.
The European Commission's Vice-President, Frans Timmermans, has threatened to withdraw Poland's voting rights in EU meetings if Warsaw does not suspend the reform.
Now the legislation has passed in the Senate, the bill will go to President Duda, an ally of the Law and Justice Party, for final approval.
On Friday, the United States urged the Polish government to ensure that any changes respect the country's constitution.
"The Polish government has continued to pursue legislation that appears to undermine judicial independence and weaken the rule of law in Poland," the US Department of State said in a statement.
"Poland is a close ally of the United States, and a strong and healthy democracy in Poland is vital to relations between our two countries."
The EA will take over from Northern Ireland's existing five education and library boards at midnight on 31 March 2015.
It is a more modest organisation than planned, and is really one very large board, rather than a completely new concept.
However, it will streamline the provision of education services and save some of the money which was spent on too many boards with duplicated jobs and services.
The deputy permanent secretary of the Department of Education, Fiona Hepper, told the education committee that it will have an annual budget of £1.5bn and a total of 37,000 employees.
That includes those working in schools but about 2,500 people work directly for the five education boards.
The original aim was to cut the number of those staff but because of a freeze on recruitment that has largely already been achieved.
The next group to feel cuts is middle and senior management - 50% of existing managers will go within the next few years.
That means 30 people who are likely to leave through voluntary redundancy, retirement or resignation, according to the Department of Education.
Because so many board jobs have gone, savings have been made already.
Ms Hepper said the original estimate was £185m over 10 years, when in fact the estimate is now closer to £250m.
The current chief executives will be replaced at the top by the interim chief executive Gavin Boyd.
He can stay in that post for a year or longer before a permanent CEO is chosen.
The former chief executives will stay in senior jobs in the meantime but will be called "regional managing directors".
The interim chief executive says a priority is to appoint an interim head of finance and head of human resources.
Those departments are said to "be under very real pressure because of job losses".
The Minister for Education, John O'Dowd, is currently deciding on the duties and salaries of a new second tier of managers.
The post of chairperson has been advertised and is said to have attracted a good level of interest. Interviews have been carried out and the process of appointment is in its final stages.
Eight political parties and other interest groups are currently choosing their nominees to the board of the new Education Authority.

Rydon Construction fitted thermal external cladding to five tower blocks in the Chalcot Estate in Camden.
The company said its work met all building and fire regulations and work was signed off by building inspectors.
Camden Council said it had a robust fire safety policy and was carrying out extra safety checks on the cladding.
Fire investigators have not yet identified the cause of the Grenfell Tower fire or why it engulfed the block.
Westminster, Barnet, Newham, Croydon and Redbridge are among the boroughs that Rydon Construction has worked with in the past 40 years.
Local councils around the country are now carrying out safety checks on refurbished tower blocks.
Residents of the Chalcot Estate - which includes four 22-storey tower blocks and one 18-storey block - told BBC London they were worried about safety and what to do in the event of a fire.
Roger Evans said the residents had never had a fire drill in the time he had lived there. "We do have fire alarms in each flat. The advice on the board is to stay put," he added.
Margaret de Micheli , who has lived on the estate for 40 years said: "I try not to think about it to be quite honest because it can be a bit frightening. There has been a fire on the 17th floor."
Fellow resident Nathaniel Fairnington said: "We haven't really been given any advice. There are a couple of signs which are also basic common sense such as not to use the lifts and then get out of the building."
He said it was "extremely worrying" if the external cladding fitted to the block was now deemed a fire risk.
On Thursday Rydon Construction said it welcomed the launch of a public inquiry into the cause of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. It added it had offered its help and support to the relevant authorities, who were investigating the causes of the fire.
A spokesman for Camden Council said: "Camden has a robust fire safety policy in place and all housing blocks on our estates receive Fire Risk Assessments. We continue to work closely with the London Fire Brigade and our Partners to ensure our fire safety procedures continue to meet the latest advice and guidance for all properties.
"As is usual in response to such a serious incident, our high rise blocks are receiving additional fire safety checks, including an inspection of cladding, to reassure Camden residents.
"We also stand ready to respond to any new advice from London Fire Brigade that may emerge from the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower."
Regulations requiring passengers to put laptops and other gadgets in baggage in the hold were introduced in March.
The airline said its plan to conduct "enhanced inspections" of passengers had convinced the US to lift its restrictions.
The airline runs 45 flights per week from Abu Dhabi to six US airports.
The US-imposed restrictions affected flights to and from 10 airports in eight majority-Muslim countries, and were prompted by fears that larger devices could be used to conceal bombs.
The ban said any device larger than 16cm by 9.3cm by 1.5cm (6.3in by 3.7in by 0.6in) had to be put into checked baggage.
Smartphones and medical devices are exempt from the US-imposed ban.
The extra checks carried out at Abu Dhabi international airport effectively mean passengers go through US customs and border screening before they take off rather than after they touch down on American soil.
The extra screening and checking would make "minimal" difference to the time passengers spent going through security, a spokesman for Abu Dhabi airport told Reuters.
A spokesman for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it hoped other airlines and airports covered by the restrictions would follow suit.
The Dubai airports authority is believed to be working with the DHS to replicate the system set up in Abu Dhabi.
Late last month, the US demanded authorities in 105 other nations carry out more thorough checks on passengers and devices but stopped short of extending the laptop ban.
South Wales Police said they are investigating the serious assault which happened in Pontardawe at around 17:45 BST on Tuesday.
Police said a local woman in her 30s has been arrested in connection with the incident.
PM Tony Abbot said Australian Federal Police would assume responsibility for security at the site in Canberra.
The move came a day after major anti-terrorism raids took place in Sydney.
They were aimed at thwarting an alleged plan by Islamic State (IS) supporters to carry out killings in Australia, including an on-camera beheading.
In recent weeks, IS - a militant Islamist movement which has seized vast areas of Iraq and Syria - has released video footage showing the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker seized.
Speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Mr Abbott said parliament had been identified as a potential target.
"There certainly has been chatter amongst the terrorist support networks of an attack on government and government people, and Parliament House has been specifically mentioned," he said.
As a result, an urgent security review had taken place.
"Subsequently we are placing the Australian Federal Police in charge of security, not just outside the building but inside the building as well," he said.
Security has until now been handled by an in-house security team.
Asked about Thursday's raids, Mr Abbott said that security officials had acted quickly to disrupt the alleged terror network "because we believed that a demonstration execution was likely quickly".
More than 800 officers took part in the operation, which resulted in 15 arrests.
Australia media reports say the operation was triggered by an intercepted telephone call between the most senior Australian member of IS and domestic sympathisers in which he told them to carry out a series of random beheadings.
Two men have since been charged. One of them, 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, has been charged with conspiracy to commit acts in preparation of a terrorist act and financing terrorism, the AFP said in a statement.
Prosecutor Michael Allnutt said Mr Azari had planned to commit "extremely serious" offences that involved "an unusual level of fanaticism" and were "clearly designed to shock, horrify and terrify" the public.
A 24-year-old man was charged with unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon and possessing ammunition without a licence.
Phil Mercer: Australia's home-grown terror threat
Who are Australia's radicalised Muslims?
Australia last week raised its terror threat level from medium to high - the second highest rank - amid mounting concern over the impact of Australians fighting with Islamic militant groups in the Middle East on domestic security.
Officials say dozens of Australians have gone to fight for IS, which has taken control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated rebel group in Syria.
Australia has recently committed troops to combat IS in Iraq.

Les Bleus beat world champions Germany 2-0 in their semi-final in front of a fiercely partisan Marseille crowd.
"We don't have the power to solve the French people's problems but we can ease their worries," Deschamps said.
"There is a lot of passion and fervour. There is a lot of happiness all over France tonight."
There had been security concerns in the build-up to the tournament following the November attacks across Paris, including at the Stade de France, which killed 130 people.
Towards the start of the tournament there were strikes in France and protests in Paris over a labour reform bill, which saw 58 arrests and 29 police officers among 40 people injured.
"We experience the passion when we talk to the people," said Deschamps, whose side face Portugal in Sunday's final at the Stade de France (kick-off 20:00 BST).
"Now the players are well aware of that power, and what they can give to the French people by wearing these colours.
"When you see the passion, inside and outside the stadium, this team has everything it takes to be loved, the players are performing well on the pitch and I'm very proud.
"We are in a final. We have our chance and Portugal have their chance too. It's not as if just because we're hosts and have knocked out Germany that gives us additional power. Portugal believe in themselves, and we believe in ourselves. It's still very open."
"We again have a hero, a striker who can make us win tournaments. Hopefully. What a player."
When those words come from France's all-time top scorer, Thierry Henry, you know something special has happened.
Antoine Griezmann scored both goals against Germany to take his tally for the tournament to six - twice as many goals as anyone else.
"We're very happy. We can start dreaming of 10 July. There's still one match to go to finish with a flourish. It's going to be tricky but I hope this won't be the end. It's our duty to win matches for the French public."
Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann opened the scoring at the end of the first half from a penalty.
It was his first spot-kick from open play since missing in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, although he did go on to score in the shootout which his team lost.
"I missed my penalty in the Champions League final and I really wanted to take a penalty in another important match," the 25-year-old said. "I'm pleased to have taken that decision, and to have scored."
His second goal, after Germany keeper Manuel Neuer failed to full clear a Paul Pogba cross, came midway through the second half.
Griezmann's six goals is the second highest tally for one player at a single European Championship. Michel Platini has the record with nine at Euro 1984 - a tournament which France won as hosts.
He is the joint fourth top scorer in all European Championship games combined - level with, among others, Henry, who took three tournaments to score six.
Platini - who never played in another Euros - and Cristiano Ronaldo, who will face France in the final, are level at the top on nine.
"I'm still very far off Michel Platini and hopefully one day I can get closer to that," said Griezmann, who was famously pictured in tears after Germany beat France in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final.
His strike partner Olivier Giroud said: "It's an emotional night. We will savour this and then tomorrow focus on the next game in three days' time.
"Antoine Griezmann has grown as this tournament has gone on. I'm delighted for him. He gives us a bit extra.
"I'd really like to write a chapter in history. Everyone wants to achieve something great on Sunday."
BBC pundit Henry said: "I am so emotional. It's nice to see that togetherness in the team, and with the fans.
"At the back they were great. The main man Griezmann, we all knew that he had to play this type of game. Germany made two mistakes on the goals but he put them in the back of the net."
About Griezmann equalling his Euros haul of six, Henry said: "What the guy is doing is astonishing. He can score a hat-trick or four goals, I don't care. What a player."
Germany manager Joachim Low was uncertain about his future when asked after the game.
Die Mannschaft have reached the semi-finals in each of the five tournaments Low has managed them in, reaching two finals - their Euro 2008 defeat and 2014 World Cup win.
"I can't predict things from tomorrow. I'm still disappointed. I won't think about that tonight," said Low, whose contract has another two years left to run.
"How I cope with that, it's difficult to answer. We haven't discussed beforehand what we would do after a loss. Maybe tomorrow [Friday] or in two or three days we will talk about that and consider if there is anything to discuss."
He thought his side were unfortunate to lose to France, but now expected Les Bleus to win the tournament.
"I think they will win against Portugal. Portugal has not convinced that much in the games so far. I think France are a very good side," he said.
"But in 2012 or 2010 when we went out, the other sides were better than us. Today that wasn't the case. We were better than the French. We didn't have the luck we needed.
"If we had scored, we could have dominated this match. If you concede in the 44th minute, everyone was shocked. I had to calm the players down in the dressing room."

Det Supt Steve Fulcher did not read Christopher Halliwell his rights before the former taxi driver led him to the body of Becky Godden in 2011.
The failure to follow arrest guidelines meant Halliwell - who admitted the murder of Sian O'Callaghan - was not prosecuted for Miss Godden's murder.
The formal misconduct hearing follows an inquiry by police watchdog the IPCC.
Halliwell has never stood trial for the murder of Miss Godden, who was last seen alive by a police officer in Swindon in December 2002.
He led police to her body shortly after confessing to the killing of 22-year-old Miss O'Callaghan, for which he was jailed for life in October 2012.
However, a High Court judge ruled his confessions over Miss Godden were inadmissible, as there had been "wholesale and irretrievable breaches" of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace) guidelines.
Under Pace rules, which govern the questioning of suspects, Halliwell should have been cautioned several times during cross-examination.
But during a Bristol Crown Court hearing in 2012, Mr Fulcher, who advised officers across the country on how to conduct murder investigations, admitted he had not "considered it".
He added: "I believed that again, the right thing to do was take the information he was prepared to give, but I accept he was not cautioned at that time."
An Independent Police Complaint Commission report found Mr Fulcher had breached Pace rules and ignored orders from his own force during the inquiry into Halliwell.
The IPCC report recommended that Wiltshire Police should consider a charge of gross misconduct against Mr Fulcher for his management of the investigation.
The hearing - in front of a panel of independent members - is expected to last five days.

Contract talks with Ozil, 28, and Sanchez are on hold until the summer.
Sanchez, 28, has been quoted stating he wants to stay in London at a club with a "winning mentality", prompting speculation of a move to Chelsea.
"I personally believe both of them want to stay and I hope the club will find an agreement with them," said Wenger.
Both players are under contract until June 2018 but speculation over their futures has been widespread during the current campaign.
The Arsenal manager, 67, stressed the situation was "not an immediate concern" and that there was no need to sell key players, unlike in past seasons when the club did so based on their financial position.
Chilean Sanchez was quoted in his homeland saying: "I'm happy in London [home of both Arsenal and current Premier League leaders Chelsea] and I want to finish my contract. I like to stay in one place, one city, where the team fights for titles."
Wenger emphasised he took Sanchez's words in "a very positive way".
"Alexis said he wants to win the championship, that's what everybody wants," added Wenger.
Wenger was offered a new contract earlier this season but several ex-Arsenal players have stated his 21 years at the club are coming to an end in the face of mounting fan frustration at perceived underachievement.
The Gunners remain in the FA Cup but have exited the Champions League and sit sixth in the Premier League, form which has seen sections of supporters hold banners and sing songs asking Wenger to leave.
He promised clarity on his future "soon" less than two weeks ago, but on Thursday said: "It's a subject that at the moment it is not sorted completely out.
"I'm very clear in my mind. Do I stay two months or two years? My commitment will be exactly the same all the time. It does not influence my attitude."
Striker Lucas Perez has told Spanish media that Wenger has not communicated any decision to the players, but that he expects the manager to stay.
Arsenal have lost six of their last nine games but, asked if the issue was creating a distraction, Wenger added: "I believe the priority in life is to focus on what is important, not to look for excuses."
Arsenal meet hosts Manchester City on Sunday and the visitors' boss Pep Guardiola has called criticism of Wenger "unacceptable".
In turn Wenger said: "I respect him hugely as a manager, exceptional career, once he's been at Man City 20 years don't worry, he'll get the same treatment."
Wenger confirmed midfielder Santi Cazorla's season was over because of the ankle injury which has kept him out since October, while Petr Cech could also miss the next two fixtures.
The former Monaco boss also praised the impact of video technology in Spain's 2-0 win in France on Tuesday, stating the move "should have happened a long time ago".
The use of technology saw an Antoine Griezmann goal ruled out and later a Gerard Deulofeu goal awarded after a 40-second wait while the decision was made.
Wenger said: "I thought we are really stupid, why did that not happen 15 years ago? The football world is a regressive world that's scared to move forward."
More than 80% of almost 600 staff, who responded to an Association of Teachers and Lecturers poll, said some pupils were being failed.
Ministers should provide "significant and immediate" extra cash, said ATL General Secretary Dr Mary Bousted.
The government said it wanted all children to reach their potential.
Of the 585 staff in English state schools who responded to the poll:
The survey follows a debate at the union's annual conference in April this year where delegates expressed fears that the identification and support of special needs pupils was being compromised.
A new special educational needs and disabilities code of practice came into force in England's schools two years ago.
Previously, the parents of special needs children had to ask for a local authority assessment, with the most severely affected children receiving "special needs statements".
At the time the government described the change as "a landmark moment", with "a simpler and more joined up system" stretching from birth to the age of 25, allowing education, health and care plans to replace special needs statements.
But many children with special educational needs or disabilities are now no longer eligible for government funding or support, according to 43% of those polled.
The union says new criteria mean that while pupils with complex or severe needs are eligible for high needs funding support, those with less complex needs such as dyslexia or dyspraxia do not automatically receive support.
As many as 200,000 previously identified as having special needs were not transferred into the new system, says the union.
Too many children "are slipping through the net completely," one primary teacher told the researchers.
"It's frustrating and heartbreaking," said another.
And a staff member at a secondary school said lack of funding meant they had halved the amount of support for children recognised as needing special support next year.
The 2014 changes were "an ambitious and well intentioned reform", said Dr Bousted.
But "unless the government provides significant and immediate additional funding the worrying situation we see now is likely to deteriorate further", she added.
The Department for Education said the "biggest changes to special needs provision in a generation" meant it had "increased high needs funding by over £90m this year and given councils £35.8m to help implement our changes effectively as well as improving support for families".
"Ensuring teachers are trained to have an understanding of the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities is a key part of our drive to give all children access to the education they deserve," added a spokeswoman, who said this training would in future be a key part of initial teacher training.

Sir Philip had put a "substantial" recovery plan in place to resolve the deficit in pension schemes at Top Shop owner Arcadia, Mr Field said.
However, the original fix for the BHS scheme had been "inadequate", he said.
Sir Philip owned BHS for 15 years before selling it in March 2015.
It was bought for £1 by Dominic Chappell, a former bankrupt with little experience in retailing, and went into administration a year later.
There followed a lengthy and often rancorous investigation by the Work and Pensions Committee into the handling of the BHS pension fund.
Sir Philip promised to "sort" the problem and after months of negotiations with the Pensions Regulator, he agreed, in February, to pay £363m to bolster the BHS scheme.
The Work and Pensions Committee also sought information about the pension schemes of Arcadia, the owner of Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, and controlled by Sir Philip.
Over the weekend, documents published by the committee showed that Arcadia had a deficit in its pension schemes of almost £565m in March 2016.
That is up from almost £456m, when the previous assessment was made in March 2013.
To address that shortfall Arcadia has doubled its annual contribution to the two main funds to £50m.
"This is a credible plan for tackling a giant deficit and great news for Arcadia pensioners who must have been concerned," said Mr Field.
"It is though clear from these figures that Sir Philip was long favouring the Arcadia schemes over their BHS counterparts, which have more members," he said.
In 2012, while BHS was under the ownership of Sir Philip, a 23-year plan to fix the pension deficit was agreed.
Mr Field described that plan as "ludicrous" and contrasted it with a 13-year recovery plan for Arcadia pension schemes, which included much bigger contributions to cover the deficit.
"I imagine Sir Philip would say that Arcadia could afford it because it was profitable, whereas BHS was not," Mr Field said.
Sir Philip has not responded to Mr Field's comments.
But the former Wales wing feels the New Zealander, who joined Ospreys in 2008, may want to work nearer his homeland.
Reports have linked Hore with taking over at Sydney-based Super Rugby side Waratahs.
"I think it would take a really good job offer and good future potential job there for him to go," said Williams.
"However, Andrew Hore is from New Zealand. I assume his intention eventually is to go back home and perhaps Waratahs is that step closer."
Hore came to Wales as conditioning coach under then-national coach Steve Hansen in 2002.
He left in 2005 to join New Zealand Rugby Union as high performance manager and later became Ospreys elite performance boss in 2008.
The title of chief operations officer, in 2010, and Ospreys chief executive, in 2013, followed for Hore.
Waratahs' chief executive Greg Harris has left after a restructure involving them and the New South Wales Rugby Union.
Sheriff John Beckett said the most effective way of preventing a similar tragedy is "to avoid drivers becoming incapacitated at the wheel".
The sheriff said responsibility for this lies with drivers and the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), the UK-wide body that issues licences to drivers.
He said the current fitness-to-drive regime was a self-reporting system which was "vulnerable to the withholding and concealing of relevant information by applicants".
The sheriff said the current rules were unlikely to prevent a "deliberate deception" such as that by driver Harry Clarke, who had a history of dizziness and blackouts which were not reported to the DVLA.
Here are the main points from the sheriff's findings:
In his conclusions the sheriff said: "It may well be that the single most useful outcome of this inquiry would be to raise awareness of the dangers involved in driving if subject to a medical condition which could cause the driver to lose control of a vehicle."
The 5,128m (16,824ft) long structure took four years to build, cost £330m and was officially opened by Prince Charles on 5 June 1996.
Work began on the M4 crossing in 1992 after the original Severn Bridge, built three decades earlier, struggled to cope with the volume of traffic.
Due to erratic currents and a huge tidal range, many of the bridge's 2,000-tonne pier foundations had to be constructed onshore.
They were then shifted onto a large tracked vehicle - similar to those used to move space shuttles, loaded onto a barge and floated out on the high tide to the appropriate sites.
The crossing, which stretches between South Gloucestershire in England and Monmouthshire in Wales, now carries more traffic than its forerunner the Severn Bridge, which is still in use.
Sir John Armitt, who project managed the bridge's construction, said he still gets a thrill when he drives over it.
"Building a bridge like this is especially rewarding as you can see instantaneously the benefits it delivers," he said.
"One hundred years ago the only way to cross the lower Severn Estuary was by ferry. Today 80,000 vehicles safely cross the lower Severn every day."
The 29-year-old is Town's top scorer this season with three goals and will remain at Portman Road until 2017.
The former Wolves centre-half, who was set to be out of contract this summer, has played 51 times since joining Mick McCarthy's side last summer.
"I'm delighted to see Christophe commit to a new contract here," McCarthy told the club website.

The 500m-wide Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, is the size of 30 football fields.
The $180m (£135m) satellite project will be used to explore space and help look for extraterrestrial life, Xinhua news agency reported.
Advancing China's space program remains a key priority for Beijing.
Scientists are now due to start debugging and trials of the telescope, Zheng Xiaonian, deputy head of the National Astronomical Observation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences told Xinhua.

FAST will replace the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which is around 300m (984ft) in diameter, as the world's largest telescope.
China has stated that its space program has peaceful purposes, but the US Defence Department has said it was pursuing activities aimed to "prevent adversaries from using space-based assets in a crisis," reported news agency Reuters.
Beijing is due to launch a "core module" for its first space station in 2018.
Up to 200 passengers jumped from the train to get back to the platform at Clifton Down station, Bristol.
University newspaper Epigram reported students were travelling to a music festival at the time.
British Transport Police said they were treating the incident as trespass.
Sorcha Bradley, who was on board, said people got off because they felt it was "the only option".
"I felt really claustrophobic, I was very scared, I was on the verge of tears," she said.
"You expect to get on the train and travel to your destination with no problem.
"We weren't sure if the track was electrified or not so everyone was quite worried, and we were all concerned about another train coming."
A spokeswoman for British Transport Police (BTP) said officers were called to the track at about 15:30 BST following a report of people walking on the line.
Its officers helped the group "off the line and to a place of safety," it said.
"We are treating this as a trespass incident - one which caused numerous delays to services in the area and could have put lives in danger - and inquiries are currently under way to identify those involved."
Trains were cancelled between Severn Beach and Bristol for several hours due to the incident.
Julian Burnell, of Network Rail, said railway lines were "inherently dangerous places", while a Great Western Railway spokesman said railway trespass was a criminal offence carrying a maximum fine of £1,000.
Uzbek-born Russian Usmanov has made a £1bn bid to take full control of the Gunners, but majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has shown no interest in it.
"He has put in the bid and it is great news," Wright told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Something has to change, whether it is the manager Arsene Wenger or whether it is the board upstairs."
Arsenal need other teams to slip up in Sunday's final round of matches to avoid missing out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 21 years.
Wenger, who has been manager since 1996, has been the target of protests from some of the club's fans.
The Frenchman's future at the club will be decided at a board meeting after Arsenal meet Chelsea in the FA Cup final on 27 May.

"It is not looking good for Arsenal at the moment," Wright told 5 live's Friday Football Social.
"They may be out of the Champions League - something they are not used to - and they have to beat one of the best Chelsea sides I have seen for a long time in the FA Cup final to try and get something from the season.
"Where are they going to sign players from? Who is going to want to come to Arsenal instead of anywhere else in London? At the moment, they are not an attractive proposition.
"We are already missing out on the managers we are supposedly interested in and we are going to start missing out on the kind of players that are going to be available and want to play in the Premier League.
"Top players may want to leave. Too much is up in the air.
"Something has got to happen for Arsenal to go to that next level. This bid will galvanise the fans."
Metal magnate Usmanov owns 30% of Arsenal's shares but is not part of the board or decision-making at the club.
Usmanov said in April that Kroenke must "bear huge responsibility" for the club's failures on the pitch.
The Gunners' London rivals Chelsea won the Premier League this season - the fifth time they have done so under the ownership of billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has spent heavily since taking control in 2003.
"Abramovich is a winner," added Wright, who scored 185 goals in 288 appearances for Arsenal.
"Stan Kroenke sees it as another asset. If you look at all his other franchises, they are doing the same. They are mediocre, with poor attendances and aren't achieving anything as a team. That is where Arsenal are at the moment.
"We need an owner like Abramovich, who wants to win. I would swap Arsenal's last 10 years for what Chelsea have done."
Richard Conway, BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent
Alisher Usmanov has wanted control of Arsenal for some time.
A long-standing critic of the current board, he has attempted to curry favour with fans by calling for greater investment by Stan Kroenke. He believes the team should be performing at a much higher level.
Now, with questions swirling over Arsene Wenger's future and with a lack of Champions League football next season looking inevitable, he has made his move.
However, he has been rebuffed.
The big question is whether this was a final throw of the dice by Usmanov? And, with seemingly no prospect of Kroenke selling, will he turn his purchasing power towards another Premier League club?
The monk was first stopped in Rakhine state with 400,000 tablets in his car.
No value has been placed on the hauls, although in 2015 the UN estimated the retail price of a methamphetamine tablet was about $2 - making the latest consignment worth about $9.2m (£7.3m).
Myanmar has emerged as a top producer of illegal drugs in recent years.
The senior monk, named only as Arsara, was arrested after police discovered the first consignment of tablets in his car as he was driving to the town of Maungdaw bordering Bangladesh.
The second batch in the monastery was found after he was arrested.
Arsara is well known among the Buddhist community in Maungdaw, The Irrawaddy reported, and had been a leading monk at the town's Baho monastery.
Myanmar is notorious for producing vast quantities of methamphetamines, opium and cannabis, with drug trafficking a particular problem in Rakhine state.
Myanmar's illicit drug trade has flourished because of its mountainous land and porous borders.
Local reports cited by The Irrawaddy say that in late September 2016 police in Maungdaw carried out two huge drug hauls, raking in more than 15 million amphetamine tablets from the compound of a construction company.
Police in Yangon seized methamphetamine tablets with an estimated value of more than $100m (£64m) in an abandoned truck in 2015.
A UN Office on Drugs and Crime report in 2015 says that methamphetamine continues to dominate the synthetic drugs market in East and South-East Asia and is mainly available in two forms: methamphetamine tablets and crystalline methamphetamine.
While they're an interesting part of Irish mythology - it is possible you've never heard of them.
After all, a woman brazenly showing her genitals may not have the same fireside appeal as stories of fairies and banshees.
But now the Heritage Council Ireland has created a map of Sheela-na-Gigs.
According to the organisation, the sculptures are normally found in medieval tower-houses, churches and holy wells.
But no-one can be sure of their true meaning, or what purpose they served.
Michael Starrett, Heritage Council chief executive, said the aim of producing the map was to learn and explode myths that had "grown up and allow contemporary and very enlightened debate to occur".
"Our Sheela-na-Gigs deserve no less," he said.
"HeritageMaps.ie is a fantastic tool for learning, discussion and interpretation, making cultural data available to everyone."
Beatrice Kelly, Heritage Council head of policy and research, said Sheela-na-Gigs were "very evocative symbols of the feminine in old Irish culture".
"Their prominent positions in medieval churches and castles attests to the importance of the female in Irish society," she said.
"As modern Ireland strives for equality in all aspects of life this map can help us all to understand the important place women have traditionally held within our culture and society."
Shane Lehane, a folklorist at University College Cork (UCC), said up until recently they were seen as "figures representing the evils of lust or as ways of averting the evil eye".
"More convincing reassessments have reinterpreted the Sheela-na-Gig, in line with the Cailleach (old woman or hag), as belonging to the realm of vernacular folk deities associated with the life-giving powers of birth and death," he said.
"Placed with the cycles of both the natural and agricultural year and the human life cycle, she can be regarded as the embodiment of the cycle of fertility that overarches natural, agricultural and human procreation and death."
Mr Lehane said the Sheela-na-Gigs also had a connection to Ireland's patron saint, St Patrick.
"The key to understanding the inherited notion that St Patrick had a wife, Sheela, is to explore the hugely interesting archaeological manifestation that also bears her name: The Sheela-na-Gig," he added.
Explaining how the map was created, Pat Reid from HeritageMaps.ie explained how the map was created.
"We used publically available National Monuments Service open-data to create the base for this map," he said.
"We augmented this with images and information gathered from the museum sector and Sheela-na-Gig academics and enthusiasts.
"This Sheela-na-Gig dataset is just one of many bespoke datasets we hope to provide in this manner. Our aim is to create interest and awareness, and to facilitate further research, in the varied and diverse elements of our cultural heritage."
Vern Cotter's side go into the match in Kilmarnock having beaten Argentina 19-16 after a 23-22 defeat by Australia.
"If we can get a performance and a result this weekend, we'll be in a great spot," said Laidlaw, 31.
"We enjoyed winning on Saturday, so it's very important we finish off this series with another win."
Gloucester scrum-half Laidlaw, who will join French Top 14 side Clermont Auvergne at the end of the season, described Scotland's series so far as "pretty brutal" but added: "That's part of the challenge.
"It won't drop off and we as players have got to drive that part of our performance forward.
"We understand what this game will be about and it's up to us to put in a performance at the weekend.
"To be honest, even though we fell short against Australia, we can still take confidence from the type of performance we put in."
Georgia overcame Samoa 20-16 on Saturday and Laidlaw expects another physical battle at Kilmarnock FC's Rugby Park on Saturday.
"Georgia are developing into a good side," added the former Edinburgh man. "They have had a lot of positive results this year and I'm sure they will be confident in their own right.
"They are big on their scrummaging and their forward play. Coming off the back of a big win they will be coming here to cause an upset.
"We will have to be right up for it. We need to play an aggressive game because they are an aggressive team themselves who like the contact side of the game.
"But so do we and we have shown that these last two weeks."
Laidlaw, meanwhile, says that his understudy Ali Price's "chance will come", after the Glasgow scrum-half remained on the bench for the whole of the matches against Australia and Argentina.
Two gunmen fired at a backyard barbecue party in Wilkinsburg, injuring at least three others.
Four of the dead were women, and the suspects are still at large, local media report.
A series of mass shootings has turned gun control into a major topic of debate in the US.
Police said once the shooting started late on Wednesday, people tried to run into the house, but a second gunman opened fire from the side or a backyard adjacent to the residence.
Four people died at the scene and a fifth in hospital. Two wounded men are in critical condition in hospital, officials said. A woman is said to be stable.
Witness Kayla Alexander told local broadcaster WPXI she heard at least 20 shots. She said authorities had sealed off the area.
Wilkinsburg is a borough of about 16,000 people with many lower- and middle-income residents.
In late February, a gunman killed three people and wounded 14 others in the state of Kansas, days after six others were killed by a gunman in Michigan.
Dante Michael Soiu, 67, from Ohio, was acquitted of felony stalking and attempted stalking by a jury at Los Angeles Superior Court.
The actress had given evidence in the case, tearfully telling the jury she had feared for her family's safety after receiving multiple letters.
In 2000, Soiu had been sent to a psychiatric facility after a previous stalking case involving the actress.
After being found not guilty in the latest case his lawyer Lynda Westlund said Soiu "just needed the right medication. He is completely lucid."
"He's unique. He's special. But ... he's very cogent," she said.
Paltrow gave evidence for three hours last week in which she claimed she was sent around 70 messages between 2009 and 2015 by Soiu.
She said the letters ranged from "religious to pornographic to threatening", and some of which some talked of her death.
She also read aloud from some of the letters, in which some expressed Mr Soiu's wish to marry her.
She said he had also sent her a cookbook, jewellery and items of clothing.
But Mr Soiu told the court he only wanted to show love and friendship and how he was not bitter about her testifying against him in the previous stalking case.
Paltrow said she had been scared by the messages "because the communications completely defy logic".
"I've been dealing for 17 years with the communications from this man," she said.
"I felt very upset by it... this has been a very long and very traumatic experience already."
In defence, Ms Westlund said her client was harmless.
She said the actress had misinterpreted his letters, many of which were biblical in nature and were therefore intended to give her a religious, not threatening message.
The Scottish first minister has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump both before and after his victory in last year's election.
Ms Sturgeon will not meet any members of Mr Trump's administration during her current trip to the US.
But she said she would not decline any invitation to meet him in Scotland.
The first minister, who was speaking after an event at Stanford University in California, said she had not made a deliberate attempt to avoid Mr Trump or his team during her five-day tour of the United States.
Ms Sturgeon told the Press Association: "This trip has been principally business-focused so we're not going to Washington on this occasion.
"I fully expect, during his presidency, President Trump will come to the UK and come to Scotland.
"As first minister of Scotland, I'm not going to decline to meet him."
Mr Trump, whose corporation owns two major Scottish golf resorts, is widely expected to make a state visit to the UK later this year.
The president's mother came from the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles and he has often emphasised his Scottish ancestry.
But Ms Sturgeon stripped him of his role as a business ambassador for Scotland in 2015 after he proposed a ban on Muslims entering the United States.
She told the Scottish Parliament in November that she stood by her previous criticisms of Mr Trump, and pledged not to maintain a "diplomatic silence" in the face of any racism, misogyny or intolerance from the president.
The two political leaders spoke by telephone in December, when Ms Sturgeon congratulated him on his victory in the presidential election.
Ms Sturgeon - who backed Hillary Clinton ahead of the presidential election - also discussed the "longstanding relationship between Scotland and the United States" with Mr Trump.
The first minister's speech at Stanford University made no mention of Mr Trump, with the first minister focusing on the global role she believes Scotland would be able to play if it were to become independent.
She also urged the UK government to recognise the "right" of Scots to decide their own future through another independence referendum.
The UK government has already declined Ms Sturgeon's request to be given the powers to hold a legally-binding independence referendum before the Brexit process is complete.
It has argued that the focus should instead be on getting the best deal for the whole of the UK in the forthcoming negotiations with the EU - with the prime minister repeatedly saying "now is not the time" for another vote on independence.
But Ms Sturgeon said that position was "not sustainable" and insisted she was "fairly certain" there would be another referendum.
While the legislation that created the Scottish Parliament reserved powers over constitutional issues to the UK, Ms Sturgeon argued that it was "quite a vague term" and said the issue had never been tested in court.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said he had written to the first minister asking whether these comments suggested she was planning to mount a legal challenge as part of what he described as a "war of attrition over independence".
Meanwhile, John Lamont of the Scottish Conservatives said it was a "great shame" that Ms Sturgeon has "chosen to use her taxpayer-funded trip to America to promote independence, and an unwanted referendum."
He added: "She may be representing the SNP in doing so - but she does not represent mainstream Scottish opinion."
Scottish Labour's James Kelly said Ms Sturgeon should use foreign trips to represent the interests of all the people of Scotland, rather than "trying to build up support for a second referendum that the majority here don't want".
Ms Sturgeon - who insists her visit to the US is focused on trade rather than independence, will be in New York on Wednesday for a series of meetings at the UN.
She is also due to give a speech on peace building, as the United Nations considers its response to the gas attack in Syria.
Surrey had reached 53-1 off 11 overs when heavy rain, thunder and lightning halted play for more than four hours.
The hosts eventually posted 163-6, with Rory Burns (51 not out) and Jason Roy (46) the main contributors.
Somerset openers Jim Allenby (71) and Johann Myburgh (76) helped the visitors to their revised target of 180 with five balls to spare at The Oval.
The pair shared a first-wicket stand of 155 as Somerset maintained their 100% winning start to the competition.
Surrey, meanwhile, have lost their first two games in the South Group.

PC Jeremy Fowler, 40, is accused of sexually assaulting the man who was also rugby-tackled at Merthyr Tydfil police station.
The alleged victim was thrown to the floor in a bear hug after being taunted over his choice of T-shirt.
PC Fowler, from Brecon, Powys, denies sexual assault and the trial continues.
Prosecutor Ian Wright said the victim - who cannot be named - felt "shame and degradation" during the assault witnessed by a room full of officers at the station.
The trainee had entered the station's parade room with his supervisor while in plain clothes and in a T-shirt with the slogan "Replay".
The jury was told another officer, PC Matthew Davies, known for his "rugby club-type banter", was said to have rushed at the trainee and tackled him to the floor in a "hug".
While pinned down, the trainee claimed his belt was unbuckled and he was assaulted by someone else.
Mr Wright said the trainee was "humiliated" and kept the assault a secret for more than a year before rumours reached a sergeant who confronted him about it.
PC Fowler is said to have told superiors he merely rubbed the trainee's hair and face while PC Davies held him to the floor as a "bit of fun."
Alexandra Hospital in Redditch and Kidderminster Hospital have reopened to visitors, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said.
Some restrictions remain in place at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, it said.
The acute stroke unit, Avon 3 and acute medical unit are still affected by the bug and remain closed to visitors.
"Patient safety is our priority, and we take any risk of infection very seriously, taking steps where necessary to prevent the spread of infection," chief nursing officer Lindsey Webb said.
"We are very aware of the impact visiting restrictions can have on patients and families.
"However, we took the difficult decision to close our sites to visitors as a way of preventing the spread of norovirus," she said.
Los Blancos' 4-3 home defeat by Schalke on Tuesday, which nearly sent them tumbling out of the Champions League, was seen as the final straw and has led to an ugly power struggle between club president Florentino Perez and the country's most influential sports newspaper, Marca.
And Bale is, rather unfairly, being placed right in the middle of the battle.
In a full-page question and answer style story in Friday's newspaper, written by senior reporter Enrique Ortego, Marca tear into Bale in a vicious attack, portraying him as a selfish and lazy loner who doesn't play for the team.
Starting off by saying that Bale often appears "absent, lost and identifying little with the cause", the article goes on to describe the Welshman as having made "apparently little effort to integrate with the group 20 months after his arrival".
His defensive efforts are particularly heavily criticised, with Ortego arguing that he should be more capable of carrying out defensive work considering he started his career as a full-back, and even alleging that Bale has been given a different defensive position at set-pieces because "he lacked concentration and was too passive, not attacking balls he should have reached."
And Marca's online edition was even more savage on Friday morning, running additional articles arguing that Bale is in the worst form of his career and quoting an anonymous team-mate as saying: "He doesn't defend because he doesn't want to."
Another story suggests that Carlo Ancelotti is considering dropping Bale ahead of the crucial Clasico trip to Barcelona next weekend, and the overall message is clear: Marca want Bale out.
Bale, it is perfectly true, has been struggling for form in recent weeks.
He has not scored or assisted a single goal in eight consecutive games, and has gone through long periods of many games without making a significant impact upon the action.
However, that is explained in large part by his unusual playing position in Carlo Ancelotti's unconvincing hybrid 4-4-2/4-3-3 formation which requires him to play as both a midfielder and a forward, with the result that he has struggled to fulfil either role effectively.
And it is also the case that Bale is by no means the only Real player struggling for form, with Los Blancos winning only eight of their 15 games in 2015 - which has seen them knocked out of the Copa del Rey, suffer a 4-0 derby humiliation at Atletico Madrid and lose top spot in La Liga to bitter rivals Barcelona.
Following the midweek Champions League embarrassment against Schalke, however, which resulted in Real's players assaulted by a crescendo of whistles and jeers even though they had just progressed to the quarter-finals, a scapegoat was needed.
Marca have decided to make Bale the victim.
The direct cause for Marca's brutal assassination of Bale was a hastily scheduled press conference held by Real president Perez on Thursday, during which he attacked that morning's Marca front page story claiming that Ancelotti would be sacked if the team lost badly against Barcelona next weekend.
Directly singling out Marca for criticism, Perez suggested that his team's recent troubles have largely been the media's fault and slamming their supposed "lies".
And now Perez is learning the dangers of taking on the media, who can always have the final word in any argument, because Marca have responded by aiming their ire squarely at the man who is widely perceived as Perez's personal favourite: Bale.
There have long been rumours that Ancelotti has been ordered by Perez to keep Bale in the starting line-up, and the under-fire president even made an illuminating gaffe during his press appearance on Thursday by saying: "When I signed Bale," before quickly correcting himself: "When we signed Bale."
By attacking Bale, therefore, Marca are really intending to undermine Perez.
Rather than the player, the newspaper's major quarrel is with the president - and discrediting Bale is just a handy way of getting at him.
Marca is by far Spain's biggest-selling and most influential sports newspaper, dedicating page after page of their daily output to the latest goings-on at Real Madrid.
On Friday, as a typical example, no other club is even mentioned until page 14's report of last night's Europa League meeting between Villarreal and Sevilla.
It also has its own radio station and a vast online following, and therefore plays a key role in both reflecting and determining the mood and opinions of Real's famously fickle fans.
The last person to seriously get on the wrong side of the paper, for example, was Jose Mourinho, who endured an increasingly fraught relationship with the media during his final season with the club.
Although Mourinho's eventual departure from the Bernabeu was genuinely as close to 'mutual consent' as can ever be possible, Marca's anti-Mourinho stance (which continues to this day, with the paper gleefully leaping upon every Chelsea defeat) was instrumental in turning many fans against him.
If Marca's problem with Bale becomes a long-term policy, Bale will have a big problem at Real Madrid.
Unfortunately for Bale, Real are at home to Levante on Sunday night and manager Ancelotti - who has always publicly firmly backed the Welshman - must decide whether to leave the former Tottenham man in the starting eleven or take him out of the firing line.
With homegrown forward Jese Rodriguez itching for his first Bernabeu start in La Liga since returning from long-term injury, there is a natural alternative to Bale if Ancelotti wishes to defuse the situation.
But that would be perceived as bowing to media pressure, and stubborn president Perez is unlikely to be advocating such a bold decision to his embattled coach.
Bale, therefore, is likely to play, and have the opportunity to make his critics eat their words. It's no exaggeration to suggest it could prove to be one of the most significant games of his career. | Rufus Sewell has joked that starring in Art in London is "very inconvenient" - as it required moving his loved ones across the Atlantic for Christmas.

Bath and North East Somerset Council (Banes) has announced it is funding a short study into the feasibility of a light rail tram system in the city.
The authority said the decision was in response to suggestions from the public, made over the past year for a review to be carried out.
The feasibility study is due to be completed by the end of March 2018.
The Bath tram system was closed in 1939 but with congestion "one of the biggest issues" facing the city, the authority said it was "keen to look at ideas and solutions".
Although, trams do not currently form part of the council's formally adopted transport strategy a council spokesman said it was keeping "an open mind".
Councillor Anthony Clarke, cabinet member for transport, said: "The idea of introducing some sort of a light-rail system in Bath has clearly caught the imagination of a number of people in the city and we feel this idea warrants further investigation.
"It's important to stress that this is a very early-stage study, but it is an important first step towards looking at this idea more seriously."
The Landfill Disposals Tax will come into force from April 2018 when power is devolved from Westminster.
Fly-tippers can already be fined and prosecuted but will also face a tax on what they dump under the new legislation.
The Welsh Government said it would "strengthen the financial deterrent" of fly-tipping.
Cleaning-up after fly-tippers in Wales cost an estimated £2.1m in 2015-16, according to official figures.
The measure is part of the Landfill Disposals Tax Bill passed by the assembly on Tuesday.
The new Wales-only charge will replace the current landfill tax in 2018.
The legislation broadly mirrors the current tax, which is charged on disposals of waste at authorised landfill sites, but introduces a tax on illegal waste dumping, including unauthorised sites and fly-tipping.
Ronnie Nicholson was speaking after it emerged that the local authority was just one of six to raise the school clothing grant for low income families.
Research by BBC Scotland showed that families in the area who met the criteria could obtain £80 per child.
This was £10 above the figure which was recommended by a Scottish government working group which reported in 2009.
Mr Nicholson said: "Anything we can do to help reduce the cost in school for these families having difficulties, we will try our best to do so."
Other defending champions are Lizzie Armistead, Alex Dowsett and Joanna Rowsell, with Wales' Geraint Thomas taking part before he is expected to join Team Sky's Tour de France squad.
Time trials in Abergavenny begin on Thursday 26 June, with the road races starting on Sunday 29 June.
More than 250 competitors are expected to take part.
Abergavenny last hosted the championships in 2009, when Kristian House won the elite men's road race.
House will challenge defending champion Cavendish in the road race, which will also feature world-class competition from Wiggins, who has announced he does not expect to feature in Team Sky's squad for the 2014 Tour de France.
Tour of Bavaria winner Thomas and current Elite Road Series leader Yanto Barker will also compete.
In the elite women's road race, Lizzie Armistead will aim to defend her title against double Olympic track gold medallist Laura Trott, junior world road champion Lucy Garner and current National Circuit Race Champion Hannah Barnes.
Four-time Olympic gold medallist Wiggins will challenge defending champion Dowsett in the elite men's time trial, with David Millar, Thomas and Matt Bottrill also competing.
And in the elite women's time trial, Rowsell will face competition from Armitstead, Katie Archibald and Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey.
Edinburgh researchers said they had "clear evidence" that livestock was the original source of an MRSA strain now widespread in people.
They studied the genetic make-up of 40 strains of a bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, that can build up antibiotic resistance to develop into MRSA.
The Roslin Institute at Edinburgh University carried out the research.
At least two genetic subtypes of the bacterium, which have become endemic in people, were traced back to cattle by the scientists.
They said the most likely scenario was the bug crossed over from cattle to people through direct contact - perhaps through people working with farm animals.
It is hoped the research will help scientists find out how bacteria is able to spread and cause disease in humans, and to prevent further strains from jumping from livestock.
After switching to human hosts, the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium became resistant to the antibiotic methicillin and developed into methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
The bacteria also acquired the ability to avoid attack by the human immune system.
However, the bacteria that originated in cattle did not appear to be more aggressive or more resistant to antibiotics than other MRSA affecting humans, researchers said.
Professor Ross Fitzgerald, Roslin Institute researcher, said: "Human infections caused by bacteria being transmitted directly from livestock are well known to occur.
"However this is the first clear genetic evidence of subtypes of Staph. aureus which jumped from cattle and developed the capacity to transmit widely among human populations."
The study has been published in the journal mBio.
Scientists say the barred grass snake, Natrix helvetica, is actually a different species to the common or eastern grass snake, Natrix natrix.
Before, it was thought the grass snake was one species with several subspecies that looked slightly different.
The others native to the UK are the smooth snake and the adder, which is venomous.
Grass snakes are a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act so it is a criminal offence to injure or kill them.
Both types of grass snake are normally found in lowland regions in the south of England. The snakes can be more than a metre (3ft) long, are found near water and eat mainly amphibians like frogs and newts.
The newly distinguished barred grass snake is grey, not olive green like the N. natrix and does not have the same bright yellow collar.
The snake is also found in Switzerland, Italy and France and also has been seen in western Germany.
Along its entire length the N. helvetica has black stripes, which on the common grass snake are barely noticeable.
The Senckenberg Research Institute in Germany led the study into the genetics of more than 1,600 grass snakes.
Professor Uwe Fritz said: "We discovered that the barred grass snake, previously considered a subspecies, is in fact a distinct species.
"We now have to pay close attention to which species of grass snake is involved in each case, in order to be able to assess whether one of them may be more threatened than previously thought."
Mola, 26, clocked one hour 46 minutes 27 seconds to beat Mexico's Crisanto Grajales by 15 seconds.
With the Brownlee brothers absent, Adam Bowden was the highest placed-Briton, finishing 12th in 1:47.24.
American world champion Gwen Jorgensen won the women's event - her fourth successive victory in Japan - in a race featuring no British competitors.
Britons Non Stanford and Jodie Stimpson had claimed the first two places in Cape Town last month.
Both events in Yokohama featured a 1.5km swim, a 40km bike ride and a 10km run.
Mola, who was fourth in Cape Town having won the opening two races in Abu Dhabi and the Gold Coast, withstood the congestion during the swim and bike legs that saw more than 60 men enter the second transition together.
The Spaniard powered away to his first victory in Japan, with Grajales and Kristian Blummenfelt ensuring Mexico and Norway were represented on a World Triathlon Series podium for the first time.
Jorgensen, meanwhile, secured her first win of the season with a run of 32 minutes 15 seconds - the fastest 10km split ever in Yokohama.
The 30-year-old is fourth in the overall standings.
Australia's Ashleigh Gentle and Ai Ueda of Japan had a close contest for second, with Gentle edging home to take silver.
The next event is in Leeds on 12 June.

The sides were level when Tyrone reeled off seven unanswered points to lead 0-12 to 0-5 at the break.
Tiernan McCann's early second-half goal ended the game as a contest as the Red Hands booked a place in the final against Monaghan or Down on 16 July.
Michael Carroll scored the only goal for a Donegal team who never looked like avenging their 2016 final defeat.
Paddy McBrearty was the game's top-scorer with six points, while Niall Sludden with four points and McCann (1-1) were joint highest scorers for the victors, for whom 12 players contributed scores.
Tyrone have now reversed a run of four consecutive defeats by Donegal between 2011 and 2015 by winning the last two provincial championship meetings between the sides, thereby denying their big Ulster rivals a seventh successive Ulster final appearance.
Relive the action from the Clones semi-final as it happened
The first quarter of the game was evenly contested as two points apiece from McBrearty and Michael Murphy, his second a sensational score from long range, plus one from Martin Reilly, kept Donegal in contention.
The Red Hands matched the skill and intensity shown by their opponents in the early stages of a match played at a frenetic pace, with Sean Cavanagh seeing his right-foot drive well saved by Mark Anthony McGinley.
At the other end, Eoin McHugh fired wide of Niall Morgan's right-hand post with the goal seemingly at his mercy, a crucial miss for his side.
Tyrone dominated the remainder of the opening half, scoring seven points in a row, with nine players registering scores, including doubles for Peter Harte, Niall Sludden and man-of-the-match Padraig Hampsey.
Cavanagh was denied a goalscoring chance by the hand of Eamonn Doherty and then the Tyrone skipper landed his side's first free of the match before the break, his side's previous 11 points having come from open play.
Donegal, in contrast, were forced to introduce experienced hands Karl Lacey and Martin McElhinney from the bench prior to the interval in a bid to stem the tide.
Three minutes after the interval Mickey Harte's men emphasised their superiority when McCann's mis-hit shot found the back of the net after a surging run.
Mark Bradley received a black card for a foul on his marker as he made space to score a point but the holders continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over to consolidate their advantage.
Carroll rifled the ball home for Donegal just after the hour mark while McBrearty's finishing was one of the few positives from an otherwise hugely disappointing performance.
Tyrone could have added further three-pointers but Rory Brennan saw his effort well saved by McGinley and Ryan McHugh blocked substitute Darren McCurry's goal-bound shot on the line.
Tyrone: N Morgan; A McCrory, R McNamee, P Hampsey; T McCann, C McCarron, P Harte; C Cavanagh, C McCann; K McGeary, N Sludden, R Brennan; M Bradley, S Cavanagh, M Donnelly.

"I love digging," Jimmy Kickham, from Prince Edward Island, told CBC News, saying he feels pride in his personal project.
Mr Kickham, who owns a construction business, has been digging graves and trenches for more than 60 years.
"One day I just thought I'd do my own if I lived to be 90," Mr Kichkam explained. He is in good health but turns 90 on Thursday.
"I love digging. Just one of those things that gets into your system. It's just work. Money. No matter what they wanted dug, I could do it," he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Mr Kichkam still works on most days, using the same earth mover that he bought 45 years ago.
"There's nothing different for me to dig a grave, just natural. I dug enough of them, God knows," he said, adding that members of his family needed some convincing.
"I seen the priest first and then the undertaker and got the measurements, although I knew the measurements from the ones I dug before," he said.
He hopes to be interred in the regional old-fashioned way, which involves laying a pine wood box in the ground in advance of the funeral.
Eric Gallant, a maintenance worker for the St Alexis church in Rollo Bay, said he had never come across anything like it.
"It's something else. That's one of a kind, I figure," he said. "The only thing that's missing is his casket."
"And me!" Mr Kickham quipped.
The 2015 champions showed their intent with a consummate win at the same venue where their hopes ended last season.
While acknowledging Connacht looked "under-cooked" after only one pre-season game, the watching Hickie was "hugely impressed" by the Warriors.
"On the form they showed, they look the team to beat," he told BBC Sportsound.
"They just look like a team that really knows what they are about. They have played a certain style under Gregor Townsend for a while and they were really impressive.
"They put huge width on their game, they kept their shape throughout the match and to be that clinical in the first match of the season was hugely impressive.
"I think they will definitely be the pace-setters this season. They are going to get better and better.
"They have players coming into their prime - guys like full-back Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray in the second row.
"Hogg is hugely exciting, with great pace. At critical times in the past, he has made mistakes that have proved costly to his team. But the older you get, you learn to cut out those mistakes.
"They lost a key player in Leone Nakarawa, but they have a big strong pack, they will be very hard to beat in Glasgow and they showed they can win on the road as well."
Two tries from Scotland wing Tommy Seymour gave Glasgow a 13-5 interval lead at The Sportsground and further scores from Hogg, Tim Swinson and replacements Sila Puafisi and Sean Lamont stunned the defending champions.
Glasgow assistant coach Mike Blair, the former Scotland scrum-half, admitted the Warriors "really hit the ground running".
"We were really pleased with how things went," he told BBC Scotland's Sportsound. "We were very clinical when we got the opportunities, which is something we have been working hard on.
"Connacht are a very good side and they move the ball around a lot. The wind and rain maybe took them out of their attacking rhythm, but we really played well."
Blair said revenge for their back-to-back defeats in Galway on the final day of the regular season, and again in the semi-final play-offs, was not a primary motivation.
"Those two disappointing losses were certainly on the players' minds and Connacht didn't have the same team as then, but the way we played certainly showed a lot of hunger," he noted.
"With this group, the guys really put everything out there, so the revenge side side doesn't come into it too much.
"Just after half-time, when we really put the squeeze on, we were able to bring on Sila Puafisi (Tonga), Ryan Grant (Scotland) and Corey Flynn (New Zealand) - all international players - in our front row.
"The experience these guys bring when players are starting to fatigue is grea, and means you can raise the intensity."
Blair believes that, far from proving a distraction to the Warriors, Townsend's departure at the end of the season to take over as Scotland head coach will benefit Glasgow and ultimately Scottish rugby.
"The players want to impress Gregor with him moving on to the Scotland job," he noted. "They are a group who want to learn and are constantly pushing each other to get better, win games and win leagues.
"I was coached by Gregor when he was with Scotland (as backs and attack coach) and he was excellent then, but he has taken it to another level now with the detail he puts on it.
"He is constantly looking at what other teams are doing really well, taking best practice and trying to integrate that. It is not just a case of saying 'we do this' but learning from other teams - and other sports as well.
"I think he will be excellent for Scotland. The players really want to play for him, because he puts an incredible amount of time into what he does for them.
"I get emails from him at 1.30am asking me to look at something by 7am the next day.
"He will bring that work ethic into the Scotland set-up and give the players freedom to help shape what they do and express themselves. I think it will be great for Scottish rugby."
German Becker, 47, coaches world number one Novak Djokovic, who has been a mainstay of the men's top four with Andy Murray, Federer and Nadal.
Becker said the game is in a "healthy state" but added "it's impossible to carry on with only Novak and Andy".
"In two or three years' time, we have to be careful," he said.
"You have a young group of Australians - Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis - who have good personalities and are interesting to watch, but there's a gap in between of players you don't know anything about."
Switzerland's world number two Federer, at the age of 33, is showing no signs of considering retirement and will target a record eighth Wimbledon title when the tournament begins on Monday, 29 June.
Spanish 14-time Grand Slam winner Nadal is only 29, but has been susceptible to injuries and is currently ranked 10th, his lowest position for more than a decade.
Becker, who became renowned for his charismatic approach after winning his first of three Wimbledon titles at the age of 17, believes the microscope of social media and intense news coverage has sterilised players' personalities.
"Nowadays everything is so supervised and so observed and everybody is very judgemental," he said.
"When I was playing you could be a little bit more emotional on the court and in your private life.
"I admire very much the current crop of players and I think the big four are exceptional players with exceptional personalities, but there are so many more in tennis who cannot really show their true sides because they are so protective and so careful."
The three-year study will test whether this basic income is better than current social welfare programmes.
Randomly selected participants living in three communities in Ontario will be given at least C$16,989 ($12,600, £9,850) a year to live on.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said it is time to be "bold" in figuring out how to help society's most vulnerable.
"This is no time to retreat, this is no time for government to cling to the status quo," she said when the pilot was announced on Monday.
Ontario is not the only one trying this policy out.
Finland recently launched its own trial in January, and the Scottish government has expressed interest.
The idea is popular with both progressives and libertarians alike because it has the potential to reduce poverty and cut out red tape.
Ontario's pilot project will roll out in Hamilton and Thunder Bay this spring, and Lindsay this fall.
The program will cost C$50m a year, and will include 4,000 households from across those three communities. Participants must have lived in one of the areas for over a year, be between 18-64 and be living on a lower income.
Single adults will be given a yearly income of C$16,989, while couples will earn C$24,027, minus 50% of any income earned from a job.
By allowing people to keep part of their earnings, the government hopes people will be encouraged to work and not rely solely on assistance.
"It's not an extravagant sum by any means," Wynne said, noting that many people who are struggling in the province are employed part-time and need additional assistance to make ends meet.
Packed with poison and supremely adaptable, the dreaded cane toad, or Bufo marinus, has few friends in Australia, where a massive scientific and community effort has failed to stop their advance.
"They probably have moved about halfway through that tropical region of Western Australia," explained Rick Shine, a professor in biology at the University of Sydney. "They are in very inaccessible country now in the Kimberley. It is very hard to get detailed information on exactly where the front is but it seems to be moving at 50 to 60km (31 to 37 miles) per annum."
The warty amphibians move only during the wet season. Although tracking studies have shown many hop less than 10 metres a day, those at the front line have grown bigger and faster.
"The guys at the invasion front up in the tropics are moving often kilometres in a single night and they have evolved this very distinctive behaviour," Prof Shine told the BBC.
"They've actually evolved differences in shape and physiology as well. Essentially they have turned into these dispersal machines and they move as far as they can, as fast as they can."
Experts are reluctant to speculate on how many of these unwelcome pests have been unleashed across Australia's north. They are prolific breeders - some estimates put the figure at around 1.5 billion - but it is impossible to know for sure.
Australia has a long and depressing history of inadvertently introducing wrecking ball species as pets and livestock, or for sport. Examples include foxes, pigs and rabbits, goats, camels and cats.
Invasive plants and fish have also had a dramatic effect on native flora and fauna, but it is the cane toad that is widely reviled above all else.
For Australia, the grim story began in the sugar cane plantations of Puerto Rico, which had imported giant toads from South America to eat the grubs that were devouring the crop.
Word spread of the successes of these bug-catching amphibians and by the 1930s, the cane toads were being sent around the world. In 1935, 101 toads arrived in Far North Queensland in areas including Cairns and Innisfail, before being bred in captivity. Their progeny was released on missions to hunt and kill cane-destroying beetles on Australia's north-east coast.
Community toad "musters" have snared countless numbers over the years. In 2005 David Tollner, a former federal MP, famously urged Northern Territory residents to help squash the problem with their golf clubs and cricket bats - effectively turning eradication into sport.
Then there was the so-called "bottom-line" defence supported by the RSPCA in Darwin, which recommended killing captured amphibians by smearing them with haemorrhoid cream, which acted as an anaesthetic.
In 2009, toads crossed the Western Australian border with the Northern Territory, more than 2,000km from the site of their original release 74 years earlier.
It was a dark day that conservationists had both dreaded and seen coming. The invasion penetrated the Kimberley region, an area three times the size of England and regarded as a wilderness frontier.
"Sadly, the Kimberley has lost the battle to the cane toad. They have invaded close to 70% of the Kimberley, so the toads are well and truly on their way to the northern coastal areas," said Lee Scott-Virtue, the president of Kimberley Toadbusters, a group she set up in 2004.
"It has been a really disturbing lesson. The problem is they are adapting to dry, desert conditions. They are adjusting to very cold climates and they are actually starting to breed in saline water."
On Wednesday, wildlife rangers revealed a cane toad was found beside a road near Mount Kosciuszko in southern New South Wales. Authorities suspect it was carried in by a tourist, and have not found other evidence of the species there. Nonetheless, they are concerned.
"There are certainly environment and times of the year when such an animal could persist (survive)," Dave Woods, a state wildlife officer, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
He said toads could provide a fresh threat to endangered species in the area, a national park.
The toads are devourers of insects and other small prey, but they are at their most destructive when they are eaten by larger predators, such as snakes, goannas and freshwater crocodiles. A large gland on the toad's shoulder is loaded with deadly cardiac toxins.
In an unusual move, researchers are trying to train predators to avoid larger cane toads by feeding them smaller specimens, which make them ill but should not kill them.
These so-called taste-aversion strategies include feeding sausages made of minced amphibian to northern quolls, a carnivorous marsupial. They eat the meat, which causes vomiting, in the hope it will put them off eating toads again. A large-scale trial is due to start in Western Australia soon.
Corrin Everitt, from the state's Department of Parks and Wildlife, told the BBC that while the project could ensure fewer large predators were lost, it would not halt the invasion.
"At the moment we're predicting the toads to take at least five years to reach the Broome area," she said.
"They are an amazing animal when you take away all the ugliness about them. You just wish that our native species could be as adaptable and successful in colonising areas as they are."
The 20-year-old midfielder, who was in trouble with the law several times at United, scored a fine goal for West Ham in Sunday's 3-0 win over Tottenham.
"He needed to get out of Manchester," Phelan told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He has gone away from the club now which I think in hindsight is the correct thing to have done."
Morrison, who has been called up for England's Under-21s, pleaded guilty to witness intimidation in February 2011 and was fined £600 three months later for throwing his girlfriend's phone through an open window during an argument.
He was also cautioned for common assault in 2008.
"It is easy to say we let our most promising player leave but is it worth the hassle to wait and maybe not see fruition to it?" asked Phelan, who is currently out of work.
Morrison left Old Trafford to join West Ham in January 2012 for a reported fee of £1m after Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager at the time, described his wage demands as "unrealistic".
But Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said on Sunday, in the wake of Morrison's solo goal against Spurs, that "the penny has dropped" and that the highly rated youngster had "sorted himself out".
Birmingham City manager Lee Clark took Morrison on loan last season and said that he was "nothing short of brilliant in terms of his application and his attitude" for most of his spell at St Andrew's.
Phelan, who left his own role at Manchester United in the wake of Ferguson stepping down at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, hopes Morrison's focus remains on his football.
"It is still a risk with Ravel, but he seems to have got his head in the right situation, his performances are decent and getting better. Hopefully he can maintain that," he said.
"At Manchester United there were other things going on which were a distraction for him and that played a part in his downfall."
Phelan revealed that despite the promise that was evident in scoring two goals in an emphatic FA Youth Cup win over Sheffield United in 2011, Morrison regularly missed training at Manchester United.
"He had a tendency to disappear for the odd day or two and then we would manage to find him and bring him back in," he said.
"It really was a day-to-day project with him. One day he was there and then another he wasn't.
"He is a nice guy when he is with you, when he is around football, but obviously there were distractions.
"At the end of the day is it too much work to put into one person and keep the harmony and the balance? That was a decision that the club had to make."
His campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said the mass deportation plan, which was a central plank of his campaign, was yet "to be determined".
Her comments at the weekend came after Mr Trump met with a new panel of Hispanic advisers.
He told Fox News on Monday he was not "flip-flopping" but wanted a fair plan.
"We want to come up with a fair but firm process. Fair but firm," he said, without giving specifics.
The businessman was scheduled to deliver a speech on immigration in Colorado on Thursday but his campaign team told US media on Monday afternoon that it has been postponed.
Mr Trump has taken a hardline stance on immigration since the beginning of his campaign, vowing to create a "deportation force" as well as make Mexico pay for the construction of a wall along the US-Mexico border.
While struggling to keep up with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the polls, Mr Trump has addressed black and Hispanic voters in recent days with the aim of broadening his support beyond white working-class voters.
"What he supports is to make sure we enforce the law, that we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for jobs, and that we are fair and humane to those who live among us," Ms Conway told CNN on Sunday.
When asked to clarify if Mr Trump would maintain his position on creating a deportation force, Ms Conway responded: "To be determined."
Donald Trump has repeatedly said the 11.4 million undocumented immigrants in the US "have to go". Now he may be wavering on that demand. The political risks of such a move - detractors will call it a flip-flop - are enormous.
It will be difficult for Mr Trump to convince Hispanic voters and moderates that his change of heart is authentic. Meanwhile, Mr Trump's core base of support could feel betrayed.
The Republican nominee has survived sometimes contradictory positions - on issues such as gay rights, abortion and the minimum wage - that allow supporters to pick and choose what they think he believes.
His position on illegal immigration, however, is different. It's a central part of his argument that the US working class has been grievously wounded by economic policies implemented by a globalist elite more concerned with profit margins than American jobs.
A reversal here would be akin to his saying that maybe Nafta isn't so bad after all. It would tear at the heart of his message.
Given that Mr Trump's standing with Hispanics - particularly in key battleground states - has been an anchor on his presidential hopes, however, it may be a gamble he's decided to take.
But Mr Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, insisted on Monday that the plan remains unchanged.
"I don't think the message is changing at all. I think people are just getting to know Donald Trump better," Mr Pence said.
Mrs Clinton's campaign later released a statement saying there would be little revision to his immigration plan despite Ms Conway's suggestions.
"Donald Trump's immigration plan remains the same as it's always been - tear apart families and deport 16 million people from the United States," said campaign chair John Podesta.
If the deportation plan is dropped or refashioned, it would not be the first shift in Mr Trump's immigration policy.
His controversial plan to issue a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the country changed to a ban on countries with a history of terrorism against the US. That switch followed questions raised by constitutional experts.
Last week, the Trump campaign faced a dramatic overhaul with the exit of campaign chairman Paul Manafort as well as the hiring of Breitbart News boss Stephen Bannon as CEO and Ms Conway as campaign manager.

Numbers of Arctic char have plummeted at Ennerdale in the Lake District because of acidity in the water caused by the surrounding coniferous woodland.
The trees are being moved back from the lake, but in the meantime Kielder Water in Northumberland has become an "ark".
The Environment Agency is releasing 10,000 young fish into the reservoir.
The juvenile fish, which are two inches long, have been reared at the agency's Kielder hatchery.
Hatchery manager Richard Bond said: "These fish are unique. There are around 20 populations of Arctic char in the country, and since the last Ice Age they have all adapted to their individual environments because they don't return to the sea and mix with other populations.
"Arctic char prefer cold water conditions and deep lakes, so Kielder Water provides the perfect environment for the fish.
"We hope that the stocked fish will grow and ultimately breed in the streams that enter Kielder reservoir, preserving and protecting this rare strain."
Ennerdale has been stocked by fish reared at the Kielder hatchery since 2006. But this is the first time they have been released into Kielder Water.
Don Coe, fisheries manager for Northumbrian Water, which owns Kielder Water, said: "The vast expanse of Kielder Water, which holds 200,000 million litres of water, should prove to be a great safe haven for these fish.
"But with depths up to 170 feet and a surface area of 2,740 acres, it may be some considerable time before we see signs of the success of the stocking."
The Kielder hatchery is operated by the Environment Agency and is the largest conservation hatchery in England and Wales, with up to 900,000 salmon bred there each year.
The Arctic char is a member of the salmon and trout family.
University Campus Suffolk had previously only been able to award degrees on behalf of the University of East Anglia and University of Essex.
Now as the University of Suffolk, it can award its own degrees, seek funding and make more of its own decisions.
It is hoped it will bring international students to the county.
Vice chancellor Richard Lister said: "Although we are community-based, this is not just about a university for Suffolk.
"We have to reverse the Suffolk brain drain, we have to bring in bright people from the rest of the country, from the rest of the world, to replace those bright Suffolk students that leave and go and study somewhere else."
The university currently has 4,500 students. It is hoped this will grow and there will be greater opportunities for the university to do more research.
Permission for university status was awarded by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education and the Privy Council in May.
It is the third and final amnesty decree signed by Mr Santos.
More than 7,000 rebels in total have been granted amnesty or released from prison as part of their reintegration into Colombian society.
Last month the Farc completed its disarmament process.
The rebels handed all its 7,000 registered weapons to the United Nations mission in Colombia.
Earlier on Monday, the United Nations Security Council voted to set up a new mission in the country, which from September will oversee the implementation of the peace deal.
The move puts an end to more than five decades of conflict.
The Marxist rebel group was found in 1964 to defend the rights of landless peasants.
It entered formal peace negotiations with the government in 2012. The talks were held in Cuba and lasted four years.
The final agreement was rejected by the Colombian people in a referendum last October. But a reviewed version was approved by Congress a month later and signed into law.
The Farc has agreed to give up its armed struggle to become a political party.
A key part of the agreement was the rebels' reintegration to civilian life. It was agreed that all Farc members who did not commit serious crimes would be granted amnesty.
The three decrees signed by Mr Santos have benefited 6,005 former rebels. Another 1,400 who were serving prison sentences have been released in the past few months.
Mr Santos won last year's Nobel Peace Prize for his peace efforts.
Following the success of the Farc negotiations, Colombia's second rebel group, the National Liberation Army, or ELN, also entered formal peace talks. They are being held in neighbouring Ecuador.
Despite 36 from captain Andrew Gale, the Tykes were still in trouble against the Championship leaders on 74-5.
But a stand of 136 between Adil Rashid (88) and Tim Bresnan (69) rescued the reigning county champions.
Steven Patterson (41 not out) and Andrew Hodd (40) then further held up the visitors as Yorkshire ended 301-9.
On the day he was awarded his county cap, Hodd only departed in the final over, ending play four balls early when he became a third victim for Neil Wagner (3-70).
But, coming off the back of his career-best match figures of 11-119 in the win over Surrey, Jarvis again took the bowling honours.
He claimed 3-29 in nine overs in a dramatic start to the 256th Roses match after Lancashire had asked them to bat first without a toss, ultimately finishing with a day's haul of 4-74.
Yorkshire were missing Ryan Sidebottom, who will be sidelined for six weeks with the hairline fracture of his ankle that he picked up playing football during a warm-up.
Lancashire opted not to use the newly re-signed Jos Buttler, who was rested after returning from Indian Premier League duty in the T20 Blast home defeat by Durham on Friday night.
His deputy, regular Championship wicket-keeper, Alex Davies, was missing, having injured his knee in that game, so Lancashire captain Steven Croft opted to don the gauntlets himself. And he took the first of his two catches in the first over, when Adam Lyth got a touch to only Tom Bailey's fourth delivery.
Lancashire captain Steven Croft:
"I started keeping at Blackpool, then turned to to seam bowling and spin, so I have done it before but not for a while. It was hard work but I enjoyed it and it's been a good day.
"We made a good start, they came back well with Rash and Bres but we've pulled back again after tea.
"Jarvis got the wickets again but all the guys bowled well. Tom Bailey kept it tight and also Simon Kerrigan."
Yorkshire & England all-rounder Adil Rashid:
"We needed that as a team. Me and Bressy dug deep. We played positively, as we usually do,
"Thankfully it came off. We're in a better position now with 300 up.
"And there's a bit more bounce in the pitch, which should be good for our bowlers."
The Colombia centre-back has agreed a six-year deal and will be the Premier League club's first summer signing.
"I am very excited to be signing for such a famous club as Tottenham Hotspur," said Sanchez, 21.
"I am looking forward to working with [manager] Mauricio Pochettino and the players and meeting everyone there."
He added: "I would like to thank the coach, management, players and fans of Ajax. It is a great move for me to come here to develop my career."
Spurs' existing club record is the £30m paid to Newcastle for France midfielder Moussa Sissoko 12 months ago.
Tottenham boss Pochettino said on Friday he wants four new recruits before the end of the transfer window and "expects the club to sign more players".
Earlier in August, defender Danny Rose spoke of his frustration at Spurs' lack of signings, telling the Sun that the club needed to add well-known players and "not ones you had to Google".
He later issued an apology for the "ill-judged" comments, which was accepted by Pochettino.

Sanchez is a top player. His performance in the Europa League final, when he came up against Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, was pretty special.
Spurs have got someone they can mould and turn into what they want. My only worry is has it got a little feeling of him being a replacement for Toby Alderweireld, if contract negotiations don't go too well?
I hope not. I hope it's maybe Spurs shifting to a back three, with Jan Vertonghen, or maybe he's a squad player that makes them even stronger than they are.
Also, it just shows the strength they have in the transfer market, picking out the top young individuals in Europe. And that they want to go and play for Spurs is brilliant.

Five victories in a row had seen Rovers keep pace with Lincoln and they had all but secured a sixth at the break courtesy of Stockton's first-half hat-trick.
Stockton headed home James Norwood's corner to put Tranmere ahead in the 20th minute before doubling the home side's lead five minutes later with a powerful finish.
The striker missed a glorious chance to complete his treble when Danny Lewis saved his penalty but he did score a third in the final minute of the half when he finished Liam Ridehalgh's cross at the back post.
Jennings got in on the act in the 48th minute with a driven shot into the bottom corner and made it five two minutes later by heading in Jeff Hughes' corner.
Andy Cook nodded home on 68 minutes and Ridehalgh appeared to complete the scoring when he curled a free-kick into the top corner five minutes from time.
But Tranmere were not done yet as Jennings found the top corner with the outside of his boot and debutant Aaron Collins fired home in stoppage time to round off a nightmare afternoon for the visitors, who are now just three points above the drop zone.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
At the close of trade on Thursday, shares were $24.48 each, up from their opening offer price of $17 a share.
It left Snap valued at almost $30bn, although it has never made a profit.
The firm's initial public offering is the biggest for a US tech firm since Facebook in 2012 and will turn the company's founders, Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, into multi-billionaires.
Snapchat, which is especially popular with teenagers, allows users to send images and messages which then vanish.
The company's losses widened last year, and user growth is slowing down in the face of intense competition from larger rivals such as Facebook.
Despite the challenges in converting "cool" into cash, Snap's valuation is the richest for a US tech flotation since Facebook in 2012.
At the beginning of February Snap's formal announcement to regulators of its plans revealed that the company had revenue of $404m last year, but made a loss of $515m.
Unlike in most listed companies, people who buy the floated shares in Snap will not get any voting rights.
Some analysts argued the company was overvalued.
"Snap is a promising early stage company with significant opportunity ahead of itself.
"Unfortunately, it is significantly overvalued given the likely scale of its long-term opportunity and the risks associated with executing against that opportunity," wrote analyst Brian Wieser from Pivotal Research in a note. He gave it a "sell" rating.
Others were more positive.
Before the trading debut, Jordan Hiscott, chief trader at Ayondo Markets, said: "What sets it apart from other messaging apps like WhatsApp for me is the innovative features built into the app's interface, such as the lenses function.
"A pertinent point in the company's S1 filing for the IPO is that it doesn't call itself a messaging service, but a camera company."
"This seems to be an intentional move to differentiate it from Facebook and Twitter and the success and failure of their respective IPOs, which in my view, is very clever."
A memo, in the name of the first and deputy first ministers, and sent to government departments last week, was passed to the BBC Spotlight programme.
It reveals SIF is currently projected to be £13.1m over budget.
The cost of the funding programme was supposed to be £80m, for projects targeting social need and deprivation.
But the memo says it will now cost £93.1m - a figure one government source predicted could rise further.
In the document Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness say: "The purpose of this paper is to seek the executive's agreement to increase the budget and delivery period for the Social Investment Fund to allow full delivery of projects."
SIF was supposed to have been delivered and completed last year. It is now going to be running until 2020.
The proposal to cover the black hole in the SIF accounts and extend the scheme is due to be discussed at a meeting of the full executive.
However, the DUP-Sinn Féin executive is expected to agree to cover the cost. The memo says the Department of Finance has already said the shortfall will be met from what is called "existing annual central capital funds".
Why is SIF going so far over budget?
When SIF was devised in 2011, it was envisaged that the £80m pot of money would be split: £40m for capital projects, new community buildings; £40m for revenue projects, delivering programmes on the ground like employment schemes.
According to the leaked paper, it appears the huge additional financial requirement has been generated largely by unforeseen costs for the capital projects.
Instead of costing £40m, the running total for those capital schemes is over £52m.
The first and deputy first ministers say: "There continues to be a trend for rising costs in capital projects, with many requiring additional funding upon completion of detailed design and as they move into construction in order to be delivered in full.
"Whilst every effort is being taken to manage project costs, there are factors beyond the department's control which can result in the need for additional funding (eg discovery of asbestos)."
However, critics of the scheme and opposition parties are bound to raise questions about the management of SIF, and the Stormont executive's ability to manage the public purse - at a time when the executive is already under pressure, amid fears the flawed Renewable Heat Incentive scheme could cost taxpayers in the region of £400 million.
SIF has been beset by controversy for several months, beginning with concern that the programme had allocated funding to community organisation Charter NI which the PSNI has confirmed it believes includes a person or people who have connections with the UDA.
The DUP has been accused of favouring Charter NI and ignoring the UDA link.
However, the party has firmly rejected this. It has highlighted good work that Charter NI does and said if there is any evidence of an illegal nature it must be dealt with by the PSNI.
Charter NI has repeatedly stated that they "do not condone illegal or criminal activity of any kind".
Lack of transparency?
Opposition parties at Stormont have also claimed there are issues with SIF around a lack of transparency and tenders for contracts which they claim were not open to fair competition.
Earlier this month, the opposition at Stormont called for an independent inquiry into SIF, but the proposal was blocked on the floor of the assembly by the DUP and Sinn Féin who said the scheme was fully above board.
In a statement to BBC Spotlight, a spokesperson for the Executive Office said SIF has progressed very significantly over the last year and will deliver a total of 68 projects. Forty-two projects worth £54m have commenced and 17 projects worth £27m are already operational.
They also said: "Now that the full suite of projects to be delivered in each zone is known there is much clearer picture of costs emerging… there are factors beyond the Department's control which can result in the need for additional funding.
"These factors include rising construction costs and unforeseen issues emerging during the detailed design and construction phase - for example: discovery of asbestos.
"Every effort will be made to manage additional costs should they arise and all the necessary policies and procedures are in place and implemented to effectively manage and account for funding and these will be ongoing throughout the duration of the projects."

The session culminated with a joint performance of First Aid Kit's hit, Emmylou, by the students, together with the band.
Eight people have been arrested by police over the alleged fraud after sports fans paid for tickets but never received them or a refund.
An inquiry, launched last summer but only just publicised, into firm Touchline Tickets has led to another three people being interviewed.
Allegations of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering are being probed by Essex Police.
Websites touchlinetickets.com, touchlinetickets.net, getsporting.com, greenpitchtickets.com and tickets4summergames.com are currently being looked at.
Six men, aged between 25 and 45, and two women, both aged 25, all from Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London have been arrested and bailed until dates in April and May.
Three London men, aged between 22 and 48, were interviewed voluntarily.
Essex Police would not reveal which sporting events victims tried to attend, but called on fans wanting to go to the Rio Olympic Games and UEFA Euro 2016 to use "recognised companies" for tickets.
An investigation was launched after the force was contacted by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.
Prosecutors also seized 23m euros ($30m; £19m) from the bank's accounts with another smaller institution.
The inquiry was launched after two suspicious transactions were reported to tax police in Rome.
The Vatican said it was "perplexed and astonished", and expressed full confidence in Mr Tedeschi.
The Vatican Bank, known officially as the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), was created during World War II to administer accounts held by religious orders, cardinals, bishops and priests.
Rome magistrates are looking into claims that Mr Gotti Tedeschi and the bank's chief executive Paolo Cipriani violated laws that require banks to disclose information on financial operations.
The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Bank of Italy's financial intelligence unit tipped off Italy's tax police last week, after two suspicious transactions were reported between the Vatican Bank and two different Italian banks.
The tax police seized 23m euros that the Vatican Bank had tried to transfer from a small Italian bank called Credito Artigianato.
Some 20m euros was destined for JP Morgan in Frankfurt, with the remainder going to another Italian bank, Banca del Fucino.
Reports say the Vatican Bank had failed to inform the financial authorities where the money had come from.
In a statement, the Vatican strongly defended its record.
"The Holy See is perplexed and astonished by the initiatives of the Rome prosecutors, considering the data necessary is already available at the Bank of Italy," the statement said.
And the Vatican also gave its backing to the two officials under investigation.
"The Holy See wants to express the maximum confidence in the president and in the chief executive of the IOR," it said.
Mr Gotti Tedeschi, who is an expert on financial ethics, has been in charge of the bank for a year. He was formerly head of Spanish bank Santander's Italian operations.
The Vatican Bank was last mired in scandal in 1982 when its governor Archbishop Paul Marcinkus was indicted over his involvement with the collapse of what was then Italy's largest private bank, Banco Ambrosiano.
Although he was never arrested, the fallout from that scandal took a darker turn when two of its top executives, one of them its chairman, Roberto Calvi, were murdered.
Calvi, known as God's Banker because of his close ties to the Vatican, was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London.
Well those were the humble beginnings of Lagan College, Northern Ireland's first planned integrated school 36 years ago.
The reasons why and how the college gave rise to the integrated education system are the focus of a new BBC Radio Ulster documentary.
The programme, All Children Together: The Story of Lagan College, reunites past pupils, teachers and parents to relive the highs and lows of those early days.
On 1 September 1981, 28 boys and girls from both sides of Northern Ireland's divide walked through the gates of Ardnavally Scout Hall on the outskirts of south Belfast.
This was no ordinary first day at school. The pupils were part of what was then considered a radical idea to educate Protestant and Catholic children under one roof.
A brave move, given that 1981 was a year of deep division with more than 100 Troubles-related deaths, tense Anglo-Irish talks and the H-block hunger strikes.
Throughout the 1970s a determined group of parents in a movement called "All Children Together" had campaigned relentlessly for integrated education.
After years of some success but also frustration, they decided at a public meeting in March 1981 to set up a new school.
The problem was they had no premises, little money and were not eligible for government funding for at least three years.
That was when the Scout Association stepped in and the makeshift school was created.
Brian Lambkin was Lagan College's only full-time teacher at the beginning.
"It was a real scramble that year," he said. "The principal wasn't appointed until May and I wasn't appointed until the end of June, beginning of July.
"The school I worked in before was very kind about donating books. We also scrambled the furniture together from somewhere. The basic materials were just about in place before we started."
Lagan College's first principal, Sheila Greenfield, who is now in her 80s and living in England, praised the pupils' parents for going above and beyond in those early days to keep the school going.
"I had them cleaning the building, supervising lunch, running a morning break tuck shop and they were even driving their cars all over for us [transporting pupils]," she said.
For those first 28 students, one of the more unusual things they had to face was constantly being in the media spotlight.
This was because of the intense interest in a school that was seen to be challenging the educational norm of the time.
Founding pupil Richard Sherry says Lagan College was, and in his view still is, Northern Ireland's most famous school.
He remembers an event held just days before it opened, when news crews filmed the students and did interviews.
"We had a picnic at the Giant's Ring [on the outskirts of south Belfast]. Myself and others were asked to bring our uniforms and there was a famous picture taken that day - the first of Lagan's new pupils," he said.
He said it was an opportunity for the press to get a photo so they would not turn up on the first day of school and cause disruption, but they could not stay away.
As Northern Ireland's only integrated school back then, pupils had to travel far and wide to get there.
Green Party MLA Clare Bailey was one of the founding students. At the time she lived in a mixed housing estate in Antrim and, with her sister, did a four-hour round trip to Ardnavally everyday.
Given that the Troubles, road checkpoints and police searches were the norm in 1981, Ms Bailey recalls the Lagan College minibus often being targeted because of what the school stood for.
"Other schools and their pupils, on main arterial routes, would have bricked the bus. I remember the drivers could obviously see people gathering down the street and knowing that we were going to be attacked," she said.
"They told everybody to lie on the floor while they had to drive through the bus being pelted with stones and bricks. It turned into a sport sometimes I think."
Yet despite incidents like this, Ms Bailey said Lagan College's first 28 pupils, wherever they came from and whatever their religious background, formed a crucial bond and became a "gang of friends".
In those early days Lagan College garnered much support but also faced opposition from the Catholic Church, Catholic educationalists and many within the predominantly Protestant state school sector.
PJ O'Grady is a former school principal of St Patrick's College in north Belfast and back in 1981, he was teaching at a school on the Falls Road.
While he aligned himself with Lagan College's all-ability, non-selection ethos, he agreed with little else.
"We, in the Catholic sector, and other churches, we go back centuries in educating people and I was just concerned there was a lack of depth in what integrated education was about," he said.
"Yes it was bringing people together but was that the main strand of their philosophy of education? Or is education not more important and profound than that?"
From 28 pupils in 1981, to more than 1,200 in 2017, many of those involved in setting up Lagan College said it was pivotal to the growth of integrated education in Northern Ireland.
Tony Spencer, a founding parent, believes it was a catalyst for change.
"Without those [first] parents, without the courage they showed, it [Lagan College] wouldn't be here today and there wouldn't be well over 60 integrated schools here."
And as for its legacy 36 years on, past pupil Ms Bailey said it was simple.
"Lagan College wasn't just a school, it was a grassroots movement. That sense of DIY, that people could do this for themselves, we didn't need somebody else to give it to us."
All Children Together: The Story of Lagan College airs on BBC Radio Ulster at 12:30 GMT on Sunday 12 March.
Captain Mark Cosgrove has also been banned for one game after the incident against Loughborough MCCU last month.
The points deduction and fine come after Leicestershire incurred a fifth fixed penalty in 12 months.
The club also have a further eight-point penalty suspended for 12 months.
Fast-medium pace bowler Shreck, 39, who has been suspended by Leicestershire for two games, was found guilty at a disciplinary hearing held at Grace Road on Friday for "using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting and/or making an obscene gesture".
Cosgrove, who was handed the one-match ban as he was captain of Leicestershire for each of the five incidents in the past year, is set to serve his suspension in the Championship match against Glamorgan, starting on 21 April.
The captain pleaded guilty to the charges.
"We've got to get better be be more disciplined - 16 points is a big deal to us. It's a game," Cosgrove told BBC Radio Leicester.
"Hopefully we can get some positive points on the board. This hurts the boys. We need to learn and get better.
"Charlie is very disappointed and very apologetic. He overstepped the mark. He knows he did the wrong thing.
"We've just got to take it and move on and get busy into the season."
In August 2015, Leicestershire were deducted 16 points and given a suspended fine for similar breaches.
In a statement from the cricket discipline commission on Friday, it was "noted that actions taken by the club since the previous disciplinary panel hearing have not been effective".
Northern Ireland went to the polls yesterday after a snap election called by Secretary of State James Brokenshire in January.
The front pages focus on party leaders at polling stations, but it's Arlene Foster who features most prominently.
The Irish News gives an air of courtroom drama, with a full page given to a picture of Mrs Foster headlined: "The Verdict."
The News Letter reports "firm evidence" of a "bigger turnout," while The Belfast Telegraph suggests turnout is "set to top 60%".
It features pictures of the leaders at polling stations above the bold headline: "Decision Day".
But in an unusual turn, the paper even features an "on the red carpet" Joan Rivers style round-up of the candidates' fashion choices.
Some highlights seem to be Mike Nesbitt's "near sky-blue suit," Arlene Foster's "great coat" and Michelle O'Neill's "wise choice" of red.
The Daily Mirror takes a lighter tone, punning with the question "Arl be back?"
The papers all feature colourful photos of voters - some dressed as crocodiles and even some actual clerics and policemen.
The Mirror, The News Letter and the Irish News front pages report on the arrest of Damien McLaughlin.
He had been charged in connection with the 2012 murder of Northern Ireland prison officer David Black but, after being granted bail in May 2014, had not been seen by police since last November.
Mr McLaughlin was arrested on Thursday under a European Arrest Warrant by Gardai as part of a joint intelligence-led operation with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
On the weather front, it seems Doris may have been at it again, as The Irish News reports on damage caused to a listed building in Belfast.
It reports that a construction firm has "blamed Storm Doris" after damage was caused to the former Bank of Ireland, near Royal Avenue during demolition of an adjacent building.
An investigation has been launched by Belfast City Council planners after the Ulster Architectural Heritage society (UAHS) lodged a complaint.
The Irish News says the firm responded with: "Due to the impact of Storm Doris..it became necessary to demolish the vacant and redundant premises at North Street.
"During this process some minor damage was done to a previous repair". The firm says it is working with the council to ensure preservation of the building.
The Irish News, Belfast Telegraph and News Letter feature the story of a headmaster who's a bit cooler than your average principal.
The headline is "Harley bikers bond with school principal over shared passion".
Colm Davis, headmaster of Tor Bank School in Belfast suffers from motor neurone disease. He's a Harley Davison fanatic and was treated to a visit from some hairy and not-so-hairy bikers.
The group of Harley Davidson bikers turned up at a teaching conference Mr Davis was attending.
There is news of a touching tribute to a life-long Ballymena United fan who passed away after a battle with cancer in The News Letter.
Trevor Burns, who died on Wednesday was "first and foremost a Sky Blue fan", it reports.
On his last attendance at a match, Ballymena manager David Jeffrey brought the league cup over to Trevor. It has been described as a "superb gesture which touched the family".
David Jeffrey says he was "proud to dedicate the win to Trevor".
There are many beauty spots in Northern Ireland, but it seems Craigavon has come out as the most desirable place to live in the region.

Acknowledged as one of his greatest songs, the six-minute organ-led classic was originally recorded in June 1965 for the Highway 61 Revisited album,
But it is known to have evolved dramatically in the studio from its first recording.
The fourth take of the song is the version that was ultimately released - but Dylan recorded it another 11 times.
Those takes were considered unusable as they were too fast. Al Kooper, who played the iconic organ riff, later observed: "I don't even know how he [Dylan]could sing that fast. There's a lot of words to put in. I have a copy of the complete session, and no take comes near the [master] take."
Now Dylan's fans, dubbed "Bobcats", will be able to decide for themselves, following the track's full progression over two days of recording at the Columbia Records studio in New York.
The first take featured a dramatically different waltz tempo and the a piano instead of an organ.
Near the end of the first day of sessions, Dylan played a rough, slow version of the song, which later gelled into the version that influenced a generation of musicians.
At Dylan's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, Bruce Springsteen said: "When I was 15 and I heard Like a Rolling Stone, I heard a guy who had the guts to take on the whole world and who made me feel like I had to, too."
Michael Bonner, associate editor of rock magazine Uncut, told the Independent: "There is a fascinating counter-factual here - what if they had released take five? How different would the history of popular music have been? Would Dylan's career have been derailed?"
"There will be fans who will listen all the way through. It's interesting from an archaeological point of view to hear the song stripped back to its component parts and to hear that organ part isolated."
Dylan wrote Like A Rolling Stone, about a debutante cast from upper-class society, at the age of 24. It reached number two in the US Billboard charts and number four in the UK. Rolling Stone Magazine later named it the greatest song of all time.
The disc of outtakes will feature on a new box set, The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 12.
A 379-track collection across 18 CDs, nine mono 45 RPM singles it includes, it is claimed, absolutely everything Dylan recorded in the two-year period when he released Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde.
It will be released in November through the musician's website in a limited run of 5,000 copies.
A six-CD version will also be made available.
US researchers found those with access to dogs were less stressed as the day went on than those who had none.
The preliminary study published in theInternational Journal of Workplace Health Managementlooked at 75 staff.
The researchers suggested access to dogs boosted morale and reduced stress levels, whether people had access to their own pets or other people's.
The study was carried out by a team of researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University who looked at a manufacturing company where people are allowed to bring their pets to work.
They compared those who brought in their own pets, with those who had dogs - but left them at home - and staff who did not own pets.
Over a week, the researchers compared employees' stress levels, job satisfaction and feelings about support from and commitment to the company.
Stress hormone levels were measured using saliva samples during the day.
In the morning, there was no difference between the three groups.
But during the course of the work day, stress levels appeared to decline for employees with their dogs present and increased for non-pet owners and dog owners who did not bring their dogs to work.
The researchers also noted that stress rose significantly during the day when owners left their dogs at home compared to days they brought them to work.
Randolph Barker, lead study author and professor of management at the VCU School of Business, said dogs can make a positive difference in the workplace.
"The differences in perceived stress between days the dog was present and absent were significant. The employees as a whole had higher job satisfaction than industry norms."
Prof Barker said having dogs around the workplace may contribute to employee performance and satisfaction.
And he reported positive comments from employees such as "pets in the workplace can be a great bonus for employee morale", "having dogs here is great stress relief" and "dogs are positive; dogs increase co-worker cooperation."
Past research has shown that stress can contribute to employee absenteeism and burnout. It can also result in significant loss of productivity.
Louise Lee, spokesperson at pet charity Blue Cross said they have always promoted the benefits of dogs in the workplace.
"We encourage our employees to bring in their well-behaved dogs where practical and we have seen similar results to the survey - a more enjoyable working environment, staff more likely to take regular breaks and a reduction in stress through stroking and petting dogs during the working day.
"The dogs themselves are also much happier as they are not being left at home for long periods of time." | Plans to bring back trams to the city of Bath are to be investigated by the local council.

The Chilcot report will not now be published before the general election.
Elfyn Llwyd said the investigation, which began in 2009, had been "cowed by the establishment".
In a special debate on the delay, the Dwyfor Meirionydd MP said the inquiry was becoming an "expensive farce" and "an affront to democracy".
"It's an insult to Parliament but more important it's a gross offence to those people who've lost loved ones out in Iraq and to the people of Iraq itself," said Mr Llwyd.
"Democracy, I think, demands that something is done urgently otherwise this parliament will be the laughing stock of the world."
Mr Llwyd also criticised former civil servant Sir John Chilcot and his staff for the conduct of the inquiry.
The MP said he had given them two "top secret" transcripts from 2001 and 2002 which he claimed showed that former Prime Minister Tony Blair and former US President George W Bush discussed removing Iraqi president Saddam Hussein by military force.
"Mr Blair had committed us to war even then, before seeing any proof of weapons of mass destruction," said the MP, who said had been sent the documents by an unknown source.
Mr Llwyd and former Plaid MP Adam Price had been visited by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch and asked questions about the transcripts.
But Mr Llwyd said the only response he had had from the inquiry was that he would not be required to give evidence.
He described Iraq as "a troubled, crippled state", adding that the inquiry should have been led by a judge rather than a retired civil servant.
Appearing before a parliamentary committee on Tuesday, the UK's top civil servant, Sir Jeremy Heywood, said he understood public anxiety but it would be wrong to "rush" publication of the report.

Burton had four fences down and still won, but collected 16 faults and almost lost the £63,000 top prize.
He finished on a score of 49.4 penalties with Wiltshire-based New Zealander Andrew Nicholson second on Nereo with 53.2 penalties.
Oliver Townend was the highest-placed British finisher in seventh on Samuel Thomas II.
The 2009 Burghley winner had 63 penalties after the three-day dressage, cross-country and showjumping event.
Olympic bronze medallist Burton, who led by 11.5 penalties going into the final day, became Australia's first Burghley champion since Lucinda Fredericks 10 years ago.
The 34-year-old joked: "I thought I'd keep it interesting for everyone by making it as close as possible.
"He's basically a careful showjumper and he warmed up well, but in the end he got a bit tired and had a few down."
New Zealander Jonelle Price and her husband Tim were third and fourth respectively.

An article on its website said women should "think Grace Kelly, not Kim Kardashian".
It also said "short skirts and cleavage" are "out of the question".
An email to Queen's, reported by the Belfast Telegraph, said the advice was "like something that would be handed down in a convent".
It said: "Are we not a bit more mature than making cleavage out to be 'bad' or even 'sacrosanct'? I feel massively condescended to and genuinely offended to be offered this advice."
The article, which offered advice to both men and women, is not currently on the Queen's website.
The university has said it is a "dynamic webpage which is constantly updated" and that the site "includes news, tips and information for graduation students".
Queen's does not have a compulsory dress code for graduations.
Kardashian West, who is married to rapper Kanye West, became a household name following reality TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians and has also previously been a model.
The style advice was written by Queen's graduate Thom Dickerson, who runs a private tailoring company.
The article begins with advice to men and said that they should stick to "leather and dark shades" when it comes to shoes.
It added: "A tie should be worn, not bow tie. If you have represented the university at sport and received a club tie for hockey or rugby, I would recommend you wear this. Stick to a Windsor, four in one hand or Trinity knot."
The article goes on to state that the "biggest mistake I see at graduation is girls treating the event like a night out".
"Graduation is a formal event and the dress code should match this.
"Short skirts and cleavage on show are totally out of the question.
"Think Grace Kelly, not Kim Kardashian, at least until the day is done: you can always change before heading out."
The Belfast Telegraph reported that an email sent from a postgraduate student said the advice "gives legitimacy to the stereotype that university education is for the middle classes".
"As a woman, however, the part I find utterly deplorable is the way in which it advises how to dress.
"Being told what to wear, being judged for our attire and being told certain attire says certain things about you as a woman is still a daily occurrence."
The email added: "Looking to the comparisons the university has made here, it's pretty degrading.
"The reserved, conservative Grace Kelly is the example of 'good' while the 'louder' more 'risque' Kim Kardashian is 'bad'?

The £4.48m investment will replace the existing system.
It aims to help ensure faster dispatches to life-threatening calls, as well as coordinating big events and major incidents.
Vaughan Gething said it was about providing a service that was "fit for the future".
He added: "The current technology which helps to allocate ambulances to the right call is getting slightly dated and is actually a hindrance for getting those response times for people that need it and in particular coordination between different emergency services."
The technology will also help monitor performance and capacity management across NHS Wales.
Richard Lee, director of operations for the Welsh Ambulance Service, said it would provide an easier system to track and dispatch ambulances.
He said the current technology, brought in during the early 2000s, was "at the end of its life".
"We're maintaining it and it's safe but it's time to move to a 21st Century computer-aided dispatch," he said.
It will be rolled out at the three control centres in Torfaen, Carmarthenshire and Conwy by the end of 2017.
Mr Lee added: "Our staff currently have to juggle three different systems but this will bring it all together.
"For our most seriously ill patients, it will have a feature called auto-allocate which will automatically dispatch the nearest vehicle as soon as we know the patient's life is in danger and that will shave a few seconds off each red response."
The latest performance figures, out at the end of November, showed 77.1% of responses to red calls arrived within eight minutes. The target is 65%.
Response time targets were scrapped last year for all except the most serious, immediately life-threatening calls.
In a low-key match, Anthony Knockaert's shot took a slight deflection, slipping through Ward's grasp at the near post.
The Terriers' keeper made a great one-on-one save from Jamie Murphy in the first half as the Seagulls were on top.
Bruno and Lewis Dunk had gone close before the goal, while Elias Kachunga spurned the visitors' best chance.
David Wagner's Huddersfield side had enjoyed their best start to a league season in their 108-year history, but their lead at the top is now only one point after Newcastle's thrashing of QPR.
Brighton were without a win in three league games but always looked most likely to break the deadlock, Dunk heading their best chance wide from only two yards out.
The visitors almost punished Chris Hughton's team when Jack Payne's cross evaded David Stockdale, but on-loan striker Kachunga could not make contact with the goal gaping.
That was the only real scare for the hosts, who kept their first clean sheet since a run of four shutouts at the start of the season.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"It was probably one of those games that gets the supporters a little frustrated.
"But, as a manager and a coach, you know you have to play that type of game.
"They are a good side. They give you a lot of possession, they drop back and they counter very quickly.
"If you don't play within a shape, they can punish you. We had to be patient. We created the two best chances in the game, one in each half.
"The bit of luck we got in the game, I thought we deserved. I thought we were the better team."
Huddersfield boss David Wagner on keeper Ward's mistake:
"I spoke to Danny and I told him there were no complaints from my side.
"Mistakes are part of this game.
"Unfortunately, if a goalkeeper makes a mistake, it's a goal. But he is strong enough and he knows that everyone backs him - that he will be fresh on Saturday and will help us get a better result than we had today."

Mr FitzPatrick, 66, of Greystones, County Wicklow, had pleaded not guilty to 27 offences under the 1990 Companies Act.
He denied making misleading, false or deceptive statements to auditors and furnishing false information between 2002 and 2007.
A new trial date has been set for 5 October 2015.
The charges were brought by the director of public prosecutions after an investigation by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE).
The end of the trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court comes after seven weeks of legal argument in the absence of the jury.
No evidence was ever opened to the jury as a legal issue raised on the opening day led almost immediately to a voir dire or "a trial within a trial".
A judge told the jury that the legal issues had been dealt with and as a result, the time frame for the trial had changed significantly.
Mr FitzPatrick was accused of failing to disclose to Anglo's auditors, Ernst and Young, the true amount of loans to him or people connected with him.
The prosecution claims he authorised arrangements to ensure that the balance of those loans would be reduced, or appear to be reduced, at the end of the bank's financial year.
It is alleged that he failed to tell the auditors about those arrangements and also about arrangements between Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society in connection with loans to him by Irish Nationwide.
He was also accused of producing financial statements about the value of loans to Anglo's directors which failed to include the true amounts outstanding by him to the bank.
Shares in the travel company plunged more than 17% in reaction to the news. The company also warned of tougher market conditions in the coming year.
Ms Green will be replaced by chief operating officer Peter Fankhauser, who will take over with immediate effect.
Harriet Green joined the company two years ago when its share price was 14p. It closed on Tuesday night at 139.9p.
Ms Green said: "I always said that I would move on to another company with fresh challenges once my work was complete. That time is now."
As expected, the company reported a 44% jump in earnings before interest and tax to £323m ($507m) for the year ended September.
However, it warned that growth in the coming year would be slower due to a tougher trading environment.
Ms Green's decision to step down took the markets by surprise.
In a tweet, BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed described the news as a "huge shock".
Shares were trading around 110p on Wednesday morning. In March they reached a high of 190p.
Brenda Kelly, chief market strategist at IG Markets, said: "The resignation is bound to have a negative effect.
"But there are other problems out of Thomas Cook's control. Over the last few months the market has not looked so good - with the weaker UK currency and a struggling eurozone all having a negative effect."
The travel industry has gone back to one of their own.
Harriet Green - new to the travel business - took over Thomas Cook when it was on its knees, fixed it at a whirlwind pace and has left, I am sure, earlier than she thought she would.
Her replacement is a travel sector veteran who has been at Thomas Cook for 13 years, including when it suffered its near death experience in 2011. Before that he was at Kuoni.
Although Ms Green has always made it clear that being a long haul chief executive was not for her (she told the BBC last year "I generally think [chief executives] spend far too long in the same business") her abrupt departure points to some tensions in the business that could not be reconciled.
The chairman, Frank Meysman, said this morning that Thomas Cook now moves into a "fresh phase" where the strategy put in place by Ms Green is executed by her successor. "Everybody has their qualities," he said this morning.
That suggests that the board felt that the new chief executive, Peter Fankhauser, is better suited to running the business.
Investors are voting with their wallets over the departure of a chief executive who saw the share price rise by nearly ten times in two years. Since the announcement of her resignation at 7am, the shares have collapsed by more than 20%. Chief executives who transform businesses are clearly valued.
Thomas Cook underwent a thorough reorganisation under Ms Green that reflected new trends in the travel business.
"Her great achievement was to restructure the company, realising that having so many Thomas Cook outlets around the country was based in history not reality," said Ms Kelly.
"She recognised that people were going on line and looking for deals, that holiday booking tradition was different from Thomas Cook's heyday in the 70s and 80s.
"It meant huge closures here in the UK and in Ireland, but those difficult decisions meant getting to grips with what's happening today in the travel market," according to Ms Kelly.
Bryan Lewis Jones's timber frame "eco" building, The Shed, rotates 360 degrees to follow the sun throughout the day in its woodland setting in St Asaph.
It squares up against three finalists, including a shed on wheels, in the competition's unique category.
Also nominated in the historical category is the Carmarthenshire shed used by writer Dylan Thomas.
It stands on stilts above the estuary in Laugharne and has been furnished to re-create the interior as it would have been when Thomas was there.
The public picked finalists in eight categories, including budget and unexpected, from 2,825 entries.
The overall winner will be selected on the Channel 4 TV series, Amazing Spaces Shed of the Year, starting on Friday.
Dassey, 26, will be released within 90 days, unless the state decides to retry him or there is an appeal.
Dassey, who has learning difficulties, and his uncle Steven Avery were convicted of murdering a young woman, Teresa Halbach, in 2005.
Avery and Dassey, who was 16 at the time, were sentenced to life in prison.
Makers of Murderer defend TV show
Netflix documentary leads to debate
On Friday, Judge William Duffin stated in the court ruling that investigators in the 2007 trial made false promises to Dassey by assuring him "he had nothing to worry about".
"These repeated false promises, when considered in conjunction with all relevant factors, most especially Dassey's age, intellectual deficits, and the absence of a supportive adult, rendered Dassey's confession involuntary under the Fifth and 14th Amendments," the judge said.
The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees the right to a fair trial, including the right to silence. The 14th Amendment guarantees equal treatment before the law.
The verdict comes after Dassey's appeal was rejected by state courts.
Steven Drizin, Professor of law at Northwestern University, became involved in the push to have the conviction overturned.
"I thought that this was a confession that was the result of police coercion," he told the BBC's Today programme.
"These detectives had taken advantage of a young man who had severe learning difficulties. The only facts in the confession had been fed to him by the investigators."
The case received wide attention in the US and across the world after the release of the 10-part documentary Making a Murderer in December 2015.
The filmmakers cast doubt on the legal process to convict Dassey and Avery.
The documentary tells the real-life story of Avery, who was wrongfully imprisoned for 18 years for sexual assault.
After his release, he was accused and found guilty of murdering Teresa Halbach, a photographer for Auto Trader Magazine.
Ms Halbach's charred remains were found at Avery's car salvage yard a week after she had gone there to photograph a minivan for sale.
The series focused on the conduct of law officials in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who risked a huge financial penalty over the first case.
Metal thieves stripped Linlithgow Palace, West Lothian, of copper taping used to conduct lightning strikes from its roof to the ground.
The former royal residence was among 17 historic sites to be targeted.
There were 30 thefts at stately homes, castles and churches in three years.
Thieves have taken heavy stone carvings, Roman artefacts and the fixtures and fittings from historic monuments across the country.
Dryburgh Abbey, in the Scottish Borders, was broken into in 2015 and lost two medieval stone carvings, while nearby Melrose Abbey was robbed of a Roman statuette of a stag and Roman pottery items.
Last year, thieves managed to make off with two heavy "Forest of Dean stone" carvings from Dunkeld Cathedral, while staff at Duff House in Aberdeenshire discovered that an antique toilet pull chain had been taken.
Scotland's historical sites were also the target of scrap metal thieves, who stripped lead from Deer Abbey in Aberdeenshire and Crossraguel Abbey in Ayrshire.
Metal hand rails were stolen from Dunstaffnage Castle, Argyll, and Kilchurn Castle on the banks of Loch Awe, while one thief made off with the main door padlock from Castle Campbell, Clackmannanshire.
In 2015, one thief set their sights slightly lower, making off with 12 packs of toilet roll from Castle Campbell.
Documents released by Historic Environment Scotland revealed thieves stripped the lightning protection tape from Linlithgow Palace in 2014.
It is understood the lightning tape, supplied to 37 HES-operated buildings across Scotland by a specialist contractor, was replaced before serious damage happened.
The documents, detailing items listed as missing or stolen between 2014 and 2016, also revealed that HES staff mislaid the keys to St Andrews Castle, Fife, and a set of internal keys for Dunblane Cathedral.
In 2012, HES set up a task force with police and amateur enthusiasts to crack down on the growing problem of crime at historic sites.
Heritage chiefs consulted with both police officers and insurance companies to reduce the levels of crime being committed at historic sites, while creating an "early warning" network to target criminals who are breaking into properties and ransacking historic sites.

Brigadier David Allfrey, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo's chief executive and producer, said: "We are particularly proud to add our celebration to Her Majesty the Queen's special year while marking other important anniversaries: Jutland and the Great Arab Revolt.
"Above all though, the music is the star. This year we have developed a fabulous score bursting with incredible tunes."
Donald Wilson, Edinburgh Lord Provost and Tattoo chairman, said: "This year's spectacle will travel through time back to the Great Arab Revolt, across seasons with a magical Mount Everest snowfall, and through space with a Star Wars motorcycle display.
"I can't wait for Scotland and the world to enjoy what the Tattoo has in store this year."

Alyn and Deeside AM Carl Sargeant has backed parents upset at proposals to enforce the policy at Connah's Quay High School.
In a consultation letter, the head teacher said there were "ongoing issues" over girls' uniforms.
Flintshire council said school uniform was "a matter for individual schools and governing bodies."
In the letter, head teacher Ann Peers said girls were wearing "denims, leggings and skin tight trousers".
Mr Sargeant said the proposal "should be dropped straight away" as female students "should have the right to choose whether to wear a skirt or trousers".
He said he understood uniform helped to create "a sense of inclusion and equality", and instead suggested enforcing a policy of wearing "tailored trousers or skirts".
Mr Sargeant added: "If uniform is an issue then of course that should be dealt with and the headteacher would have my full support in that."
He has written to Ms Peers asking her to take parents' and pupils' views into consideration.
Ian Budd, chief officer of education and youth at Flintshire council, said: "School uniform arrangements are a matter for individual schools and governing bodies.
"However, I would urge parents and carers to give their opinions to the school during the consultation period which has been extended to 10 March.
"The governing body will then consider the views expressed during the consultation in conjunction with Welsh Government guidance on school uniform policy, which makes it clear that governors must consider the implications of uniform policy in terms of equalities and affordability, before making an informed decision."
The BBC has contacted Connah's Quay High School for comment.
Richard Williams, 55, made false tax claims on orders for non-existent beds he had received from people with disabilities.
A £50,000 narrowboat he converted into the replica submarine was among a string of extravagant purchases.
Williams, from Blackpool, was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Manchester Crown Court.
Williams, formerly known as Steven Howarth, of Redcar Road, pleaded guilty to three counts of cheating public revenue and fraud.
During the fraud, HMRC said, Williams ran the replica World War Two German U-boat as an attraction at Clarence Dock, Leeds.
He posted promotional videos filmed onboard to social media, they said.
At his sentencing on Friday, the court heard Williams also bought yachts, luxury cars and chartered private jets.
His wife Laurel Howarth, 28, from Leeds, was handed a 20-month sentence after she admitted three counts of VAT fraud.
Her Majesty's Revenues and Customs (HMRC) said the pair used friends' names to carry out the frauds - even changing their names by deed poll to match their identities.
The couple faked invoices and customer records from the four companies to make fraudulent VAT repayment claims.
Before sentencing, Williams said: "I regret what I did sincerely but it did have its moments.
He said it was "a crazy time" but had been "a very silly thing to do".
Proposals have been submitted to build three towers - 20 floors, 10 and eight respectively - on John Street.
The site, located at the old home of No Fit State Circus, would also have shops and cafes on the bottom two floors.

It has involved a K-pop star, a mass cabinet resignation, a Facebook spam assault, Taiwan's new "first family of cats", and a veiled military warning from China.
Each of these controversies exposes the issues that could take the island on a very different path.
It seems like so long ago but election day, last Saturday, was when Taiwanese youth rallied behind Chou Tzuyu, the 16-year-old Taiwanese K-pop singer who was forced to apologise for showing the island's flag on a Korean TV show.
Many believe the anger that prompted could have helped Ms Tsai, whose DPP party has traditionally favoured independence from China, which in turn sees the island as a province that must be reunited with the mainland.
Now Taiwanese celebrities who have called themselves Chinese, including Mando-pop singer Jay Chou, are under fire. Many simply want Chinese fans to identify with them and are probably only referring to their ethnic identity.
But this election has shown that obstacles remain despite growing contact and improved ties with mainland China. One recent survey suggested a majority of the island see themselves as Taiwanese.
Beijing will have to re-evaluate its strategy of winning over the Taiwanese with trade, tourism and economic perks. Analysts say it would do better to narrow the huge gap in the two sides' political systems.
Days after her victory, Chinese netizens began waging a war of words on Ms Tsai's Facebook page.
Comments on the site went from 10,000 to 45,000 per day, as users weighed in criticising her pro-independence views.
Many posted the same Chinese slogans, including: "Honour to those who love the motherland, shame on those who harm the motherland."
It may be a campaign orchestrated by the Chinese government, which normally blocks Facebook and is believed to employ an army of people to post comments online reflecting its policies.
However some posts seemed genuine.
One Chinese netizen Chen Jun-lin wrote: "Everything we do is to narrow the distance between each other's heart. We reject any action on both sides to split the two sides, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China."
Ms Tsai simply replied to the comments with a photo post: "The greatness of this country lies in how every single person can exercise their right to be himself or herself."
It remains a fascinating insight into cross-strait views and some believe such open communication may, ironically, lead to increased understanding.
One report on China's state-owned CCTV channel this week said China's military "recently" carried out live fire drills off the coast of Fujian province directly across from Taiwan.
But Taiwan's defence ministry says the pictures were from exercises carried out last year and there were no recent drills.
Either way, it is a warning for Ms Tsai.
The mass resignation of Taiwan's incumbent cabinet was expected after the election defeat.
But the next cabinet is being closely watched. Will Ms Tsai try to tap the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party's experienced China negotiators to help maintain good ties with Beijing?
Analysts say her words and actions since winning have confirmed to China she's pro-independence, but it recognises her as a pragmatic politician.
Beijing's "wait and see" grace period for Ms Tsai is expected to end by the time she finishes her inaugural address, and it is unlikely to bend on China's territorial claims.
Ms Tsai meanwhile seems to be trying to shore up Taiwan's alliances and boost trade with its most powerful allies the United States and Japan, to minimise Taiwan's economic dependence on China and seek security protection.
She met representatives from both countries this week and sent the DPP's secretary-general Joseph Wu to the US.
While she has pledged to maintain the status quo and not provoke China, some US officials have said they want Taiwan to be an integral part of America's Asian security strategy.
China will view this as an attempt by Washington to use Taiwan to counterbalance its weight in the South China Sea dispute, an alliance that could lead to an even harder stance from Beijing.
Taiwan's parliament is notorious for its shoe-throwing, water splashing and scuffles.
But now that Ms Tsai's party won a majority of the seats for the first time in history, it will be able to push through significant reforms without getting physical.
Its priority will be to seize the assets of the KMT, believed to have been taken when it fled to Taiwan at the end of China's civil war and began ruling the island.
That could reduce the century-old party, one of the world's richest and once most powerful, to a much less influential force.
The DPP-controlled parliament will also change laws to reduce the power of the ruling KMT party's chairman so that ordinary party members who do not share his views, including on unifying with China, will be able to balance his power.
The parliament will also try to amend the constitution to make it easier for referendums to be held, which means the issue of independence may one day be decided by the Taiwanese people.
Regardless, newly elected legislator heavy metal singer Freddy Lim could add a new flavour to parliament.
Attention has also turned to Taiwan's new "first family" as they are being dubbed: Ms Tsai and her two cats Cookie and A-Tsai.
Ms Tsai found time to post more pictures of them this week. Cookie was rescued after a typhoon by a DPP member and given to Ms Tsai. Ms. Tsai came across A-Tsai in a pineapple field and the farmer convinced her to take him home.
It's an unusual so-called "first family", but so then was the island's first week after a landmark poll.
The central bank - People's Bank of China (PBOC) - fixed the yuan rate at 6.4589 to the US dollar on Friday.
That is the biggest increase in nearly 11 years.
China only allows the yuan to rise or fall 2% on either side of the PBOC's daily fix, to avoid volatility and maintain control over the Chinese currency.
Analysts have pointed out the move is not a reflection of future yuan policies.
Some have argued the PBOC's move is a knee-jerk reaction to US dollar weakness overnight. The US dollar had fallen sharply against the yen after the Bank of Japan surprised markets and decided against any extra monetary easing.
"The expectation for a stronger yuan fix was laid by the gains for the yen after the Bank of Japan announcement," said Patrick Bennett, a strategist at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Hong Kong.
According to data compiled by financial news network Bloomberg, Friday's increase is the strongest daily move by the PBOC since July 2005.
China spooked global investors with a surprise devaluation in August last year, when it guided the currency down by nearly 5% in a week.
Market reaction to the move, however, has been muted. The Shanghai Composite index closed down 7.26 points at 2,938.32, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index ended the day down 320.98 points at 21,067.05.
South Korea's Kospi index closed down 0.3% at 1,994.15.
In Australia the benchmark S&P ASX 200 headed higher towards the end of the trading session and closed up 0.5% at 5,252.22.
The region's biggest market, Japan, was shut on Friday for a national holiday. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index ended the shortened trading week down 5%.
The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) arrived on 19 October, putting itself in a highly elliptical parking orbit.
This must be circularised over the coming year before the mission can begin full science operations.
But scientists have taken the opportunity of some close passes to the planet in recent days to check out the TGO's instrumentation.
There is delight at the quality of the pictures returned from camera system, CaSSIS (the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System).
TGO passed over a region called Hebes Chasma at its closest approach, just 250km from the Martian terrain.
"We saw Hebes Chasma at 2.8 metres per pixel," said Nicolas Thomas, the camera's principal investigator from the University of Bern, Switzerland.
"That's a bit like flying over Bern at 15,000km/h and simultaneously getting sharp pictures of cars in Zurich."
TGO sensors NOMAD and ACS also came through their early tests successfully.
These are the sensors that will make a detailed inventory of Mars' atmospheric gases.
In particular, they will go after the components that constitute less than 1% of the planet's air - chemical species such as methane, water vapour, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide.
Methane is the main focus. From previous measurements, its concentration is seen to be low and sporadic in nature. But the mere fact that it is detected at all is really fascinating.
The simple organic molecule should be destroyed easily in the harsh Martian environment, so its persistence - and the occasional spikes in its signal - indicate a replenishing source of the gas.
The speculation is that it could be coming from microbial life somewhere on the planet.
It will be CaSSIS's job to look for possible geological forms on the surface that might tie into methane sources. A fourth instrument, FREND (successfully tested in recent days, too), will sense hydrogen in the near-surface. This data can be used as a proxy for the presence of water or hydrated minerals.
This again is information that could yield answers to the methane question.
TGO was the unspoken success on the day Esa's Schiaparelli lander crashed into Mars.
The surface probe had been dropped off at the Red Planet by TGO and was making its ill-fated descent just as the satellite took up its parking orbit.
The successful insertion almost went unnoticed in the fuss over Schiaparelli.
TGO is the first phase in a joint venture at Mars that Europe is undertaking with Russia.
The second step in this project known as ExoMars is to put a robot rover on the planet in 2021.
It needs a large injection of cash on the European side to go forward, however - just over €400m.
Research ministers from Esa member states are meeting this week in Lucerne, Switzerland, to try to resolve this budget problem.
Seeing TGO perform so well should at the very least give the politicians a warm feeling as they push through their difficult discussions.

Patrick Hart, 82, had last been seen at his home in Saracen Street, Possilpark, at about 16:00 on Monday.
Police carried out searches involving police dogs and a helicopter and appealed for people to check private CCTV footage.
A spokeswoman confirmed that Mr Hart had been found on Tuesday and thanked the public for their help to find him.
The 27-year-old, who is his amateur team's paid professional, surpassed ex-Australia captain Michael Clarke's unbeaten 200 for Ramsbottom in 2002.
Smuts' innings came off 139 balls and contained 23 fours and 11 sixes.
He later took 4-16 with the ball as his side wrapped up a 182-run win.
Clarke, who is currently commentating on the Indian Premier League, tweeted Smuts his congratulations and joked: "This means I need to have another year with Rammy."
The league's next two highest scores are held by West Indies greats Everton Weekes (195* in 1949) and Learie Constantine (192* in 1937).
Smuts - the younger brother of South Africa all-rounder JJ Smuts - is no stranger to records since he also holds the distinction of being the first player to score a century and take 13 wickets in the same first-class match in South Africa.
He achieved that feat playing for Eastern Province in 2016 - becoming only the 25th player in the world to achieve it.
More buildings have been restored at Fort Amherst in Chatham and will eventually be added to new tours of the fortifications, a spokesman said.
New volunteers were also being sought as tour guides who could bring a "storytelling element" to the role.
An open day is being held at the Medway fort, which was built in 1756, on Saturday.
Mr Rogers, from the Fort Amherst Trust, said: "Not only are the new tours going to take in previously unused areas and routes, but they will also be aimed at providing different experiences."
The fort has also opened up new attractions including owl encounters, archery, a 1940s fair, along with ghost tours and paranormal investigations, chairman Les Snowdon said.
He said volunteers had donated "impressive" time and energy to entertain, educate and maintain the 20-acre site since it opened in the 1980s, and the fort now needed to expand its team.
Fort Amherst was built to defend Chatham naval dockyard and the River Medway against the threat of French invasion.
It has been described by English Heritage as the most complete Napoleonic fortification in Britain.
The local hotel chain bought Ireland's tallest office block in May for £6m.
But major refurbishment means it will not open as a 200-bedroom, 4-star hotel until 2018.
The company says it will create more than 150 new jobs.
The building will also contain apartments and office accommodation.
It will be called Belfast Grand Central Hotel.
The 15-year-old is said to be making "good progress" having suffered serious hand and leg injuries in the blast, her parents said.
Laura, from Barra, in the Outer Hebrides, was at the Ariana Grande concert with friend Eilidh MacLeod.
Eilidh was one of people killed in the attack at Manchester Arena.
Michael and Nan MacIntyre said their daughter, a pupil at Castlebay Community School, is now one step closer to home.
They thanked people in Manchester for their help, particularly a man who stayed with Laura in the aftermath of the bombing.
In a statement, Laura's parents said: "We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Manchester and in particular all those who have done so much to help Laura and our family.
"The kindness and care started from the first moments after the bombing when a young travel safe officer held Laura's hand and comforted her for an hour while she waited for treatment.
"We believe he helped save Laura's life that night and he will always be a hero to our family.
"Since then, he has been to visit Laura in hospital and it was a privilege to meet him and thank him in person."
The family also thanked medical staff at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
"We couldn't wish for a more dedicated, kind and professional group of people," the family said.
"We'd also like to thank Greater Manchester Police and Police Scotland for their support.
"Loganair Glasgow and Dolina at the airport in Barra have also been fantastic, helping fly family members to and from Manchester.
"We'd also like to thank Ronald McDonald House for providing accommodation during our time in the city. Finally, we'd like to thank Michael's employers, Marine Harvest, for their patience and help.
"All these people and organisations have made a big difference during a very traumatic time and we will always be grateful.
"Laura continues to make good progress in her recovery but it will be a long process. Her hand and leg injuries are significant but we are glad that she has been able to move to Glasgow.
"She is now one step closer to eventually returning home to Barra, from where we have received enormous love and support."
The number of matches broadcast each season will rise from 128 to 144.
This includes the early Saturday kick-off, the first pick of the 15:00 BST kick-offs, Sunday, Monday, midweek and Friday matches until 2019.
BBC Director of Sport Barbara Slater said: "Live radio coverage is a critical element of the BBC's overall audience offer for football fans."
Ms Baloch, a controversial figure known for her outspoken posts and suggestive photos and videos, posted selfies with Mufti Abdul Qavi last month.
He was suspended from two important councils as a result.
Ms Baloch, 26, was strangled by her brother Waseem early on Saturday in their hometown of Multan.
He admitted the apparent "honour killing", saying it was justified.
The cleric has denied any role in the murder but says he will appear for questioning if summoned by police.
Following the murder he said Ms Baloch's fate should serve as a lesson for others who want to mock religious figures.
He also said that he had "forgiven" her.
Police in Multan say they are also investigating Ms Baloch's other brother, Aslam, a junior army officer whom her father accused of encouraging Waseem to murder her.
A video posted on Facebook by this Pakistani comedian titled 'This one's for Qandeel Baloch' has been shared more than 11,000 times. He questions why Pakistani society has "placed its honour between the legs of a woman" and become so willing to resort to violence when confronted with something deemed objectionable.
Junaid told the BBC that while he personally did not support Ms Baloch's actions, he believes Pakistani society is too easily offended and needs to change. "Why don't we get offended by things that actually affect our lives? Why should we get offended by a girl in Lahore who decided to show a little cleavage?" he asks.
Sadly, Ms Baloch's death didn't come as a surprise given her actions, he adds - an indictment on a society where people are too willing to "play God" themselves.
The response to Junaid's video has been overwhelmingly positive, he says, but that does not erase the fact that some on social media feel her murder was justified and having been making that known.
Her father, Mohammad Azeem, said she had supported the entire family financially.
Ms Baloch, whose real name was Fouzia Azeem, divided views in conservative Pakistan, with many disapproving of her actions.
The model and self-declared "modern day feminist" faced online abuse and death threats.
Her death has sparked a debate over "honour killings" and what is acceptable behaviour online for women in Pakistan.
"I believe I am a modern day feminist. I believe in equality. I need not to choose what type of women should be. I don't think there is any need to label ourselves just for sake of society. I am just a women with free thoughts free mindset and I LOVE THE WAY I AM." (Facebook, 14 July)
Love me or hate me both are in my favour. If you love me I Will always be in your heart, if you hate me I'll always be in ur mind (Facebook, 3 July)
The Poland international, 28, joined Bayern from Borussia Dortmund in 2014.
He has scored 86 goals in 122 appearances for the club, including 19 so far this season.
"I am very happy that the negotiations were successful," Lewandowski said. "It means I will stay at Bayern for a few more years."
Bayern, currently top of the Bundesliga, are bidding for a record-extending fifth consecutive league title.
They are also in the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will face Arsenal.
"I am happy that we managed to tie one of the best centre forwards in the world to the club for the long-term," Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"We have now guaranteed that another key player will continue to wear the Bayern shirt for the coming years."
Lewandowski finished 16th in the Ballon d'Or voting on Monday as Cristiano Ronaldo won it for a fourth time.
Despite scoring 42 goals last season, he was not the highest-ranked player from the Bundesliga as Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ranked 11th.
Lewandowski appeared to mock the result, writing "cabaret" on Twitter and also posting laughing emojis.
A coastguard rescue helicopter from Caernarfon was called to the incident at Llanddona on Sunday afternoon.
Moelfre inshore lifeboat was also launched and coastguards attended by road.
The woman was flown to hospital in Bangor but her injuries are not known.
Claire Sykes believes her husband Darren, 44, started the blaze at the house in Penistone on 22 October.
Son Paul, nine, died in the fire along with his father, while Jack, 12, died six days later in hospital.
Police have said the blaze in Tennyson Close was started deliberately and they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "I want people to know they were murdered by their father. He killed them because of pure evil spite.
"They had no chance. They were like rats in a trap and they fell for his cold and calculated plan."
She told the newspaper her husband lured the children to the former marital home and started the fire deliberately in revenge for her splitting up with him in April.
Writing on Facebook, Mrs Sykes paid tribute to her sons.
She wrote: "Please please enjoy Halloween and carve pumpkins for the boys treasure every minute you share as a family."
She continued: "My boys were murdered by their father but he never had their hearts and they will stay with me forever xx.
"I don't know how I will carry on without my boys.
"My heart is broken in two but knowing that so many people are thinking of them makes me proud to have been their mum."
Abell shared an opening stand of 134 with Marcus Trescothick, who reached 1,000 Championship runs for the season before being brilliantly caught at deep square leg on 60 by Simon Kerrigan.
Chris Rogers (47) helped Abell add a further 93 for the second wicket.
But it was a different story after the new ball was taken, recalled Tom Bailey taking 4-53 as Somerset ended on 339-7.
The visitors lost six wickets for 60 - including a run of four scalps in seven deliveries for Bailey - until Peter Trego (49 not out) was joined by Ryan Davies in an unbroken stand of 52 after Kyle Jarvis had bowled last week's late-order Somerset centurion Craig Overton.
The morning session was reduced to 23 overs after two short breaks for rain. but they had caught up to the full 96-over allocation by the end of the day.
Somerset, who have only lost once in their last 15 Championship matches are up against a Lancashire side who they have not beaten in seven attempts.
Bailey and Toby Lester were brought in by Lancashire in place of Nathan Buck and Arron Lilley in the only changes from the side that lost to title hopefuls Surrey at the Oval last week.
Lancashire fast bowler Tom Bailey told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We didn't bowl too well at the start of the day having won the toss. But that evening session turned out to be a pretty good one.
"We had to make up for it after being wicketless in the first session, so to come back hard like me and Jarv did at the end there was good. We're disappointed by that final partnership but that's how Trego plays.
"I've been fit for a month now, but had to get my overs in the second team. I was quite nervous, not having played in the first team for about three months. But this evening I had settled into it."
Somerset centurion Tom Abell told BBC Radio Somerset:
"Personally, I was hugely delighted and we've had a pretty good day as a side. We had to ride our luck and it was pretty tough at the start but Tres takes a lot of the pressure off. He played superbly well as did Buck Rogers.
"They bowled really well with the second new ball and came back at us. We had a little blip towards the end of the day but the way Peter Trego played at the end has put us back on the front foot.
"No-one's been frustrated than myself with how this year's gone. It's been pretty disappointing, but we're up at the right end of the table and the aim is to keep the pressure on the teams at the top."
The volume, which every airman used to record missions, belonged to Leonard Sumpter, a bomb aimer in the attack.
The raid on 17 May 1943 saw experimental bouncing bombs used to break two important dams deep within Nazi Germany.
Flt Sgt Sumpter's book, which fetched £7,000, described the mission as "satisfactory".
Nineteen planes and 133 men took part in what was codenamed Operation Chastise, with eight planes lost and 53 crew killed.
The military impact is still hotly debated but it provided a huge morale boost to Britain and was later made into classic movie.
Flt Sgt Sumpter's aircraft - L for Leather - hit the target but did not break the dam.
The logbook was sold alongside a scrapbook containing cuttings and photographs about the raid and later missions. It sold for £3,000.
Carl Buck, from Nottingham-based International Autograph Auctions, said: "These kind of items come up very rarely and there is always a lot of interest.
"It had an estimate of around £3,000 and it is easy to see why it went for so much, as it had signatures from other airmen like Guy Gibson and David Maltby, making it a Who's Who of the Dambusters."
The first edition King James Bible from 1611 had been stored away at St Giles Parish Church for centuries.
But after being rediscovered by Rev Dr Jason Bray, it was sent to National Library of Wales which confirmed it is an authentic copy.
Dr Bray said: "It has seen better days but most of it is in remarkably good condition."
In 1604 King James VI of Scotland, who had been England's king for a year, ordered a new translation of the Bible to be made.
Some 54 Greek and Latin scholars worked on what was to become the official version of the bible for the Church of England.
Dr Bray added: "Most churches had them but the fact ours is a first edition and it's been kept here all that time, it's really exciting."
The Bible will be kept at the church and Dr Bray hopes one day it can be given a proper display.
Wales' Traffic Commissioner Nick Jones disqualified "rogue" Wasteaters owners Andrew and Elizabeth Hughes until 2042.
Investigators found some vehicles at the firm in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, had serious defects, no MOT, were untaxed and even unregistered and uninsured.
"This is an appalling case by any standards," said Mr Jones.
The licensing regulator revoked their HGV licences following a public inquiry, which neither defendants attended.
Examiners from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) identified a number of offences relating to vehicles following numerous checks in north Wales in 2016.
In evidence to the public inquiry, Jonathan Woodward said that during his 12 years as a DVSA traffic examiner he had never seen a more blatant, consistent, comprehensive and wide-ranging disregard for road safety.
One driver, Christopher Jones, told the traffic commissioner he had been told by Mr Hughes, to abandon vehicles when stopped by the DVSA.
He conceded he knew this could not be correct practice, but did as his employer instructed as a result of pressure.
"There has been deliberate and sustained illegal activity from this operator," concluded Mr Jones.
"I need to disqualify both partners for a very long period of time as this is an appalling case by any standards. Anything other than a very long disqualification will send totally the wrong message to compliant operators and industry."
The traffic commissioner said the partnership "sought to obtain a significant competitive advantage as a result of exceptionally serious failures to comply with regulatory regimes".
HGV driver Mr Jones was also disqualified from driving commercial vehicles for 18 months, with effect from 19 June 2017.
The seller from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, had been given the Queen Anne Vigo five guinea by his grandfather when he was a boy.
The auctioneers said it was one of 20 made from 7.5lbs (3.4kg) of gold seized by the British in northern Spain on 23 October 1702.
Coin specialist Gregory Tong said it was a "record-breaking" sale.
The seller, who did not want to be named, said his grandfather would give him "bags of coins" collected from all over the world.
He said: "As time passed these coins were forgotten about until I rediscovered them after my granddad passed away.
"I looked back through the coins - remembering the stories I made up about them when I was small - and then gave them to my own son to play with and put into his own treasure box.
"My little boy has been playing with this coin as I did all those years ago."
Auctioneers Boningtons in Epping, Essex, said the Vigo coins were made after the British fleet failed to take Cadiz in 1702.
The fleet instead managed to seize gold and silver from Franco-Spanish treasure ships coming back from America.
The coins were made to detract attention from the British failure at Cadiz.
They were delivered with full pageantry through London and received at the Royal Mint by the Master of the Mint Sir Isaac Newton, the auctioneers said.
Mr Tong from Boningtons, said: "The coin is only the sixth example of its type to be offered for sale in the last 50 years.
"It has broken Boningtons' house record of £200,000 set by the sale of a painting by Sir Winston Churchill earlier this year."
Marie Baltazar, from Llanelli, was secretly filmed by a member of staff at St James Care Home in Swansea.
The 36-year-old was also caught banging a metal pan next to the sleeping man before poking him with a wooden spoon.
Baltazar pleaded guilty at Swansea Crown Court to causing ill-treatment and was jailed for 20 weeks.
Robin Rouch, prosecuting, said the cruel treatment was not done to torment the victim, but to make Balatzar's life easier.
"The complainant suffers with Down's Syndrome and lacks mental capacity," he added.
"It would be right to say that he was restless and wanders.
"And in order to keep him on his chair the defendant would tie a small table to his chair to effectively stop him wandering off."
Mr Rouch said on one occasion, after returning from a visit to a day centre, the complainant was trapped between 17:00 and 21:00.
He added: "Mr Templeton could not freely go to the toilet or get up. This took place routinely."
The offences came to light thanks to the home's cleaner, who covertly filmed the neglect in November 2015.
Baltazar claimed she had the victim's interests at heart - but had gone about things the wrong way.
However, Judge Paul Thomas QC said the defendant had treated Mr Templeton with no dignity.
He said: "He was tethered like an animal for hours at a time.
"And when he needed to sleep you kept him awake by banging metal objects next to his head.
"Mr Templeton was in the early onset of dementia. He must have found this highly distressing, bewildering."
The court heard that the home - where the defendant's husband Ashley Bowen was the manager of - closed in March 2016 following an inspection by Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales.
Speaking after the sentencing, South Wales Police praised the whistle-blower who came forward.
"This case could not have been brought about without the commendable decision of a staff member to speak out about abuse being perpetrated within the care home," said Det Sgt Christopher Williams.
"The defendant's actions were both cruel and demeaning, carried out against a disabled victim with learning difficulties, who could not speak out for himself.
"The sentence reflects that the abuse of our most vulnerable in society cannot be tolerated, and any reports of abuse will be acted upon positively by South Wales Police and our partners."
The 18-year-old was found with "serious" stab wounds in Rushcroft Road, Brixton on 27 December before 18:15 GMT, police said.
He was taken to a south London hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
An 18-year-old man has been charged and will appear in court on Saturday.
The left-arm spinner, who is 38 years and 139 days old, is the second Sri Lankan to take a Test hat-trick.
Adam Voges, Peter Nevill and Mitchell Starc - after a third-umpire review - fell to Herath in the 25th over.
Herath finished with figures of 4-35 as Australia were bowled out for their lowest Test score against Sri Lanka.
Previously, the oldest man to take a hat-trick was England's Tom Goddard, who was 38 years and 84 days old when he struck against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1938.
Herath's hat-trick is the first by a Sri Lanka player in Tests since 1999, when Nuwan Zoysa struck against Zimbabwe with his first three deliveries of the game.
Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera also had a superb day with bat and ball, taking 4-29 in Australia's first innings and top-scoring with 64 in Sri Lanka's second innings before falling to left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc (6-50).
Perera then narrowly missed out on a hat-trick after dismissing nightwatchman Nathan Lyon and Usman Khawaja in Australia's second innings before captain Steve Smith survived the hat-trick ball as the visitors, chasing 413 to win, finished on 25-3 at the end of a remarkable day in which 21 wickets fell.
Only once have two hat-tricks been taken in the same Test, when Australia leg-spinner Jimmy Matthews achieved the feat in each innings against South Africa at Old Trafford in the triangular Test series of 1912. | Funding for a new computer for the Welsh Ambulance Service, aimed at further improving response times, has been agreed by the health secretary.

Reports say the militants now control at least 60% of the city.
However, air strikes have forced them to pull back from a key government compound where they raised their black flags on Friday.
Ramadi is capital of the country's largest province, Anbar.
The BBC's Ahmed Maher in Baghdad says IS fighters have entrenched their positions around residential districts after beating back Iraqi forces backed up by three regiments sent as reinforcements.
If the entire city were to fall, it would be a major blow to the government, he adds, being just 100km (60 miles) from Baghdad.
IS and Iraqi troops have been battling for months to take control of strategically important Anbar province.
Earlier, the Iraqi army said it had sent three regiments to areas surrounding the city.
Iraqi military spokesman Brig Gen Saad Maan Ibrahim also told Iraqi state television that the US-led coalition had been supporting Iraqi troops with "painful" air strikes since late on Friday.
High-profile Iraqi officials have made several statements to the press and on social media, admitting that the situation is dire, our correspondent says.
It is a sign of how worried the government is, and of how serious the situation on the ground has become, our correspondent added.
The IS assault on the government compound on Friday involved as many as six suicide car bombs. At least 10 police officers were killed, while another 50 were reported to have been taken prisoner.
In response, US Vice-President Joe Biden pledged to deliver heavy weaponry, including shoulder-held rocket launchers and additional ammunition, as well as supplies to the Iraqi forces.
The heavily Sunni province of Anbar covers a vast stretch of the country west from the capital Baghdad to the Syrian border, and contains key roads that link Iraq to both Syria and Jordan.
Iraq's prime minister pledged in April that his forces would "liberate" Anbar from IS after the success of re-taking the central city of Tikrit.
A nation that's "raping our country", he called it on the campaign trail. One that is "stealing American jobs".
He's promised to slap a 45% tax on Chinese imports if Beijing doesn't start playing fair - a move that's led to concerns over a US-China trade war.
President Trump says his plan is good economics, and would create more jobs in the US.
But many economists argue this would hurt US consumers more than it would hurt Chinese businesses.
Global research house Capital Economics says American consumers may have to pay up to 10% more for Chinese-made goods if tariffs were imposed.
Those goods include things like your laptop, refrigerator and mobile phone.
But it's not just Chinese companies making these products.
Many US firms have manufacturing bases in China and would be hit by any kind of import tariffs as well.
Half of US imports from China are electronics or machines, and that includes Apple's iPhones.
But what if the iPhone were to be made completely in the US, which is in theory at least, the new president's goal?
At least one study says the cost of an iPhone manufactured in the US would only shoot up by 5%.
But that's only if the components are still sourced overseas. Make those parts at home - and the price goes even higher, hurting profits of US firms like Apple.
It's not just iPhones though. Tariffs would likely hit goods across a variety of sectors.
A few other items that might be affected:
But while the China-bashing may appeal to Mr Trump's voting bloc, it's "unclear just how they [the Trump administration] would raise these tariffs they keep talking about," says Deborah Elms from the Asian Trade Centre.
Under US law you can only raise tariffs on the goods of other countries by up to 15%, she adds.
"They may start with slapping tariffs on specific sectors, like Chinese steel," Ms Elms continues. "And that would almost certainly see retaliatory moves from the Chinese."
Capital Economics estimates if the US stopped buying goods from China altogether, it could shave three percentage points off China's GDP.
With China's economy already slowing down, this is an unthinkable scenario for Beijing. Social stability depends on economic growth.
Already, China has been clear about what a trade war with the US and China could look like.
"A batch of Boeing orders will be replaced by Airbus," reads the state-backed Global Times editorial page. "US auto and iPhone sales in China will suffer a setback, and US soybean and maize imports will be halted."
Many American firms, such as Boeing, depend heavily on business from China, and there are thousands of American jobs back home tied to these businesses.
Rising consumption on the mainland and the potential 1.3bn customers means China is a market that American companies cannot afford to be left out of.
China's smartphone market for example, is larger than the US's and Europe's combined.
Besides planes, these are some other popular US products sold in China.
"Nobody wins in a trade war", said China's President Xi Jinping in a speech at the recent Davos forum.
And if history is anything to go by, then he is right.
In the aftermath of the Great Depression, the US Congress slapped tariffs on all countries that shipped goods to America in an effort to shield US workers.
It was called the Smoot-Hawley Act, named after two Republican Congressmen.
Other countries retaliated with their own tariffs, a trade war ensued and global trade fell by 66%, dragging down the world economy with it. Some economists argue this made the Great Depression last much much longer than it needed to.
Sometimes history, and not economics, is the best teacher.
Dubbed "super sand", it could become a low-cost way to purify water in the developing world.
The technology involves coating grains of sand in an oxide of a widely available material called graphite - commonly used as lead in pencils.
The team describes the work in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials and Interfaces.
In many countries around the world, access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities is still limited.
The World Health Organization states that "just 60% of the population in Sub-Saharan African and 50% of the population in Oceania [islands in the tropical Pacific Ocean] use improved sources of drinking-water."
The graphite-coated sand grains might be a solution - especially as people have already used sand to purify water since ancient times.
But with ordinary sand, filtering techniques can be tricky.
Wei Gao from Rice university in Texas, US, told BBC News that regular coarse sand was a lot less effective than fine sand when water was contaminated with pathogens, organic contaminants and heavy metal ions.
While fine sand is slightly better, water drains through it very slowly.
"Our product combines coarse sand with functional carbon material that could offer higher retention for those pollutants, and at the same time gives good throughput," explained the researcher.
She said that the technique the team has developed to make the sand involves dispersing graphite oxide into water and mixing it with regular sand.
"We then heat the whole mixture up to 105C for a couple of hours to evaporate the water, and use the final product - 'coated sand' - to purify polluted water."
The lead scientist of the study, Professor Pulickel Ajayan, said it was possible to modify the graphite oxide in order to make it more selective and sensitive to certain pollutants - such as organic contaminants or specific metals in dirty water.
Another team member, Dr Mainak Majumder from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, said it had another advantage - it was cheap.
"This material demonstrates comparable performance to some commercially available activated carbon materials," he said.
"But given that this can be synthesized using room temperature processes and also from cheap graphite sources, it is likely to be cost-efficient."
He pointed out that in Australia many mining companies extract graphite and they produce a lot of graphite-rich waste.
"This waste can be harnessed for water purification," he said.
Copenhagen Zoo says it "had to euthanise" two cubs and their parents after it failed to re-home them.
The 16-year-old male and 14-year-old female were nearing the end of their natural lives in captivity, it added.
Last month, the zoo killed a healthy giraffe because it was deemed surplus to requirements.
"Because of the pride of lions' natural structure and behaviour, the zoo has had to euthanise the two old lions and two young lions who were not old enough to fend for themselves," the zoo said in a statement.
According to zookeepers, the male cub "would have been killed by the new male lion as soon as he got the chance."
The zoo said it had asked other parks to take the 10-month-old cubs, but had received no offers.
The new male lion is due to arrive in the next few days and will be introduced to the zoo's two female lions who, born in 2012, have reached breeding age.
Last month, the manager of the zoo received death threats after a healthy two-year-old giraffe called Marius was put down and later dissected in front of visitors.
The zoo said the animal did not fit in with the park's breeding programme but the move shocked animal lovers across the world.
Despite the outcry over the death, the zoo said it did not believe it was necessary to change its procedures.
A spokesman for the zoo said there would be no public dissection of the lions since "not all our animals are dissected in front of an audience".
Out of 889 women asked, 64% said they had experienced some form of sexual harassment, with 35% saying they had suffered "unwanted sexual touching".
The survey was commissioned by the End Violence Against Women Coalition.
Sarah Green, the coalition's acting director, said sexual harassment was "an everyday experience" in the UK.
The survey was published by the coalition of women's organisations to coincide with International Women's Day.
International Women's Day has been held on 8 March every year since 1913, and has been recognised by the United Nations since 1975.
The UN says it's a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
The theme of this year's day is "Planet 50-50 by 2030" - aiming to achieve global equality in areas such as education and end all forms of discrimination.

The survey suggested that, of those who suffered unwanted sexual attention, more than a quarter were under 16 the first time it happened, and more than 75% were under 21.
Of the 106 women aged 18-24 who were surveyed, 85% said they had experienced unwanted sexual attention in public and 45% had experienced unwanted sexual touching.
Unwanted sexual attention can include instances of wolf-whistling, sexual comments being made, staring, and indecent exposure.
The survey also suggested that 63% of women felt unsafe in public places, compared to 45% of men who were also polled.
Of the women asked, 42% said they would pay for taxis to avoid public transport on a night out, while 42% would take a different route home if it made them feel safer.
Those responding to the survey called for more police (53%), better street lighting (38%), and more staff on public transport (38%).
Ms Green said women and girls "learn to deal with" sexual harassment, but added: "It's time to hold a mirror up to it and challenge it.
"Girls and young women are growing up in the UK today being exposed to unwanted sexual attention, harassment and assault.
"They are learning to change their behaviour so they can manage these incidents because they are so regular. We need to really question any idea that this behaviour is trivial or in any way acceptable given what we can see about its impact."
Geraldine Largay, 66, went missing in 2013. Text messages to her husband were not sent because there was no signal.
She left a final note asking whoever found her body to call her husband and daughter to let them know she had died.
The 2,200-mile (3,540km) trail is a popular hiking route in the eastern US.
Ms Largay, from Tennessee, disappeared in western Maine in July 2013, The Boston Globe reports. Her body was not found until more than two years later, in October 2015.
Paperwork released by the Maine Game Warden Service shows that she had gone off the trail looking for a place to relieve herself and was unable to find her way back, the newspaper says.
She even tried hiking to higher ground in a failed attempt to get a mobile phone signal, but her desperate text messages sent to her husband went undelivered, the documents show.
About 1,500 pages of documents relating to her case were released on Wednesday in response to Freedom of Information Act requests by several media organisations, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Mrs Largay set out on a three-day hike with a friend in July 2013.
Her friend turned back to deal with a family emergency, and Mrs Largay continued alone.
She failed to turn up at a pre-arranged meeting with her husband, who had been due to pick her up.
He reported her missing the next day and search parties were sent out.
The Boston Globe reports that some rescuers passed within 100yds (90m) of Mrs Largay but did not find her.
She died of starvation and exposure three weeks after the authorities had given up the search.
Mrs Largay's body was finally found by a forestry worker in October 2015 inside a collapsed tent, along with a paper map, a pencil and pen, some cord and twine, a first aid kit, baby powder, toothpaste, her mobile phone a journal and a set of rosary beads.
The land where she was found is owned by the US Navy and is used for survival and evasion courses.
She had tried to start a fire and had built a makeshift flag using a branch and some clothing in an attempt to attract attention.
The last activity on her mobile phone was on 6 August 2013, while the last entry in her journal was dated nearly two weeks later, on 18 August.
The Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana will be affected while other major races will also feature one less rider per team.
It is hoped the move will improve rider safety and increase competition by making it more difficult for teams to control a race.
The number of teams will stay the same however, race organisers announced.
The shake-up has been designed to better reward one-day and Twenty20 international players.
Previously, contracts were geared towards Test players and white-ball specialists would only receive partial contracts.
Yorkshire's Root is one of four men to be awarded both contracts by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
The others are Warwickshire pace bowler Chris Woakes, and all-rounders Moeen Ali (Worcestershire) and Ben Stokes (Durham).
The way financial packages will be calculated will also see Root, 25, benefit.
To decide how much players will earn, the ECB will rank them based on their performances on the pitch, "as well as a number of other factors, including off-field contribution, fielding and fitness".
"For Root on the most senior grade, which also now reflects off-field contribution, fielding and fitness, this means an income from the ECB in the vicinity of £1m a year," BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew said.
The new 12-month contracts - 10 of which have been given to Test players, and 11 in white-ball cricket - come into effect from 1 October.
The ECB said it was making the changes in recognition of how limited-overs cricket was increasing in popularity.
"I think the central contract system, it's great that it's taking white ball cricket seriously," England's wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler told BBC Sport.

"Andrew Strauss has said that he wants to treat the two games as equals and the results are starting to show from that change of mindset."
Director of cricket Strauss added: "We believe the restructure of the central contract system will recognise the increased focus of the shorter format and the importance that we place on this.
"It is undeniable that the introduction of central contracts in 2002 has greatly benefited the fortunes of the England Test team. During this period, the team has consistently performed well against the other Test nations around the world. We hope that continues over the next few years."
Batsman Ian Bell, who last played for England in November 2015, is the only player with a full 2015-16 central contract to drop off the new list completely - meaning that his county Warwickshire must now take over his salary.
Jonathan Agnew, BBC cricket correspondent
The restructuring is designed to emphasise the ever-growing importance of one day cricket, with the Champions Trophy to be staged here next summer and the World Cup in 2019.
Central contracts have revolutionised English cricket, at times causing friction with the counties as players are rested. Surely key to this structure will be the availability of players for the proposed city-based Twenty20 competition.
Test contracts: Moeen Ali (Worcestershire); James Anderson (Lancashire); Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire); Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire); Alastair Cook (Essex); Steven Finn (Middlesex); Joe Root (Yorkshire); Ben Stokes (Durham); Chris Woakes (Warwickshire); Mark Wood (Durham)
White-ball contracts: Moeen Ali (Worcestershire); Jos Buttler (Lancashire); Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire); Eoin Morgan (Middlesex); Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire); Joe Root(Yorkshire); Jason Roy (Surrey); Adil Rashid (Yorkshire); Ben Stokes (Durham); Chris Woakes (Warwickshire); David Willey (Yorkshire).

A pet monkey reportedly assaulted a schoolgirl, leading her family to seek revenge. Three men were killed along with the animal in initial clashes.
Days of fighting followed between the Awlad Suleiman and Guedadfa clans.
Casualties may be greater as the death toll is reportedly for the Awlad Suleiman group only.
Reports also suggest tanks, rockets, mortars and other heavy weapons were used in the fighting, in which at least 50 people were also wounded.
The three men reported as having the monkey at the time of the assault were from the Guedadfa community, the same as the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Some reports say the monkey may have pulled off the girl's headscarf as well as scratching and biting her.
The relationship between the two communities is said to have been strained for many years.
Sabha is a hub for trafficking in migrants and arms in Libya's often neglected south.
Libya has been wracked by conflict since Col Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.
The Hibs boss has signed Feruz, who has yet to make the most of his precocious talent, on a season-long loan.
"He has ability. You can't write people off just because they make headlines for bad decisions," he said of the Scotland Under-21 forward.
"The most important thing is that he is a talented footballer and the penny will drop sooner or later, I hope."
Feruz was brought through Celtic's youth ranks but, on turning 16, left the club for Stamford Bridge.
Having struggled to break in to the first-team squad at Chelsea he has been loaned to OFI Crete, Blackpool and now Hibs.
Former Scottish Football Association performance director Mark Wotte recently pointed to problems with the player's attitude and just last week Feruz made newspaper headlines for a driving incident in Glasgow.
However, Stubbs prefers to focus on the potential of the Somalia-born player, who made his debut from the bench against Alloa on Saturday.
"My main reason for bringing Islam was because of his football ability," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound on Sunday.
"I am there to work with players. If I can't manage Islam I'm not doing my job properly.
"He is very intelligent, he makes some very good runs. He will score different types of goals; he could be anything.
"Whenever I sign a player it's a gamble. Some gambles are a bigger risk than others. He has to realise that not everybody is going to give him opportunities all the time.
"He has got to make better life choices and once he does that I think you'll see why Chelsea signed him in the first place.
"I'd rather work with talent than no talent."
A player with a slim chance of rivalling Feruz for a starting place in the Championship side's attack is Derek Riordan. He is training with the club for whom he has played more than 250 times across two periods.
"He asked if he could come into training just to keep fit," explained Stubbs.
"I would never refuse anybody an opportunity to use the facilities, especially (given) what he has done there.
"I think he's got a couple of options, which could happen over the next week or two."
Asked if there was a chance of the 32-year-old winning a contract at Easter Road, Stubbs replied: "If he comes in and he blows everybody away, it's a nice decision. He'd have to impress me."
Stubbs is confident that his third-placed team can push Rangers throughout the campaign for the Championship title. They trail Rangers by nine points but have a game in hand.
"I firmly believe that we'll be right there at the end of the season. We know where we are as a team," he asserted.
"Rangers have got some very, very good players and they have had a fantastic start but we are not going to give up the chase just yet."
The 150-year-old tree on Vernon Road, Dore, called "Vernon" by supporters, is causing disruption to the pavement.
Ann Anderson, a campaigner, said: "To consider taking down a tree of this importance and bio-diversity is absolute madness".
The felling is part of city-wide maintenance project Streets Ahead to upgrade roads, pavements and bridges.
Councillor Bryan Lodge said: "The Streets Ahead tree programme affects less than 1% of the city's tree stock."
Campaigners gathered round the threatened tree which has been adorned with ribbons and slogans to sing protest songs.
Protests as other trees were felled in the city have resulted in a number of arrests.
Mr Lodge said: " A tree is only replaced if it's dead, dying, diseased, dangerous, damaging footpaths or roads or discriminatory by obstructing pavements.
"Every tree is replaced on a one for one basis and during the initial five-year investment period of the contract, around 6,000 trees will be replaced out of the city's 4,000,000 trees."
Ms Anderson, of Save Dore, Totley and Bradway Trees, said: "We don't contest the felling of dead or diseased trees but this tree is healthy, and they're the ones we contest."
The Independent Tree Panel, set up to review the felling decisions, has said: "It is a very fine specimen, in excellent condition, with a further 150 years life expectancy."
The panel also said there was a "strong arboricultural case for retaining this tree".
Despite some disruption to the pavement and kerb, a solution could be found, the panel added.
In 2016 a High Court judge dismissed a bid for a judicial review into the tree-felling programme.
Several pages of the daily newspaper Rodong Sinmun showed images of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his wife inspecting the restaurants and shops.
North Korea has unveiled several large building projects in recent years but human rights groups say much of the country still lives in poor conditions.
The airport, which will serve only a few flights, is set to open on 1 July.
Earlier this month, the country said it was facing its worst drought in a century, sparking fears of worsening food shortages.
Three pages of Thursday's Rodong Sinmun - the ruling Workers' Party official daily newspaper - were devoted to images of Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol-ju being shown around the terminal.
In one photograph, Mars bars and bottled beers were on display in one of the airport's new duty-free shops. Another showed a cafe serving espresso-based drinks.
The glass-fronted building is reported to be six times larger than the old terminal but passenger numbers are likely to be low.
Most of the tiny handful of flights to and from the North Korean capital carry Chinese tourists and North Koreans on official business between Pyongyang and Beijing.
Mr Kim described the building as a "landmark of the Songun [military-first] era", according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
He told workers and officials he was "very satisfied to see the terminal well built in harmony with modern aesthetic taste and national character", KCNA said.
He was also reported to have called for the construction of a high-speed railway and a motorway between Pyongyang and the airport, some 24km (15 miles) northwest of the capital.
Kim Jong-un: Trying to make sense of North Korea's leader
Since taking power in 2011, Mr Kim has promised to raise living standards in the isolated country, but most of his signature projects have been beyond the reach of average North Koreans, like ski resorts and water parks.
Many North Koreans suffer from a lack of food, drinking water and stable electricity.
Gloucestershire Police said it happened between the A46 junction and the Air Balloon Roundabout at about 03:00 BST.
A 34-year-old man, who was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and then transferred to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, is in a critical condition.
The road was closed for several hours while an investigation was carried out, but it has now been reopened, a police spokesman said.
The agreement will see more than £2m invested in eight key races, while annual prize money will increase.
Glorious Goodwood, the main event, will become the Qatar Goodwood Festival.
"Our partnership with Qatar will make an enormous contribution to horseracing in the UK," said course owner, Lord March.
The inaugural Qatar Goodwood Festival will run from 28 July to 1 August.
Hamad Al Attiyah, president of the Qatar Equestrian Federation, said: "The sponsorship demonstrates Qatar's further commitment to British racing.
"With such huge prize-money on offer, we hope it will help to attract international runners from all over the world as well as continuing to see the best in Britain, France and Ireland."
Races to benefit from the cash injection include the Qatar Sussex Stakes which will have a total prize fund of £1m and the Qatar Nassau Stakes which will now be worth £600,000.

In a trading update, the Glasgow-based company said underlying revenue for the quarter was 14% behind last year, with reported revenue down 17%.
It warned that some of its markets continued to be "challenging".
However, it said it still expected pre-tax profits for the year to be "slightly lower" than in 2015.
Aggreko reported that first-quarter revenue for its rental solutions division was down 9% on last year, while its power solutions industrial arm saw revenue fall by 10%. Sales from its power solutions utility division were 19% lower than last year.
Chief executive Chris Weston said Aggreko's performance in the first quarter had been in line with the board's expectations.
In its update, the company said: "As indicated at our full year results in March, the timing of contract start and end dates will have an impact on first half year-on-year profitability.
"Overall the guidance of slightly lower year-on-year profit before tax and exceptional items on a constant currency basis remains unchanged."
In December, Aggreko announced that it had pulled out of bidding for a contract to power the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
The company said it had withdrawn from the bidding because of the size of the event and preparation needed.
Isabel Gentry, 16, was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary after falling ill on 18 May and discharged four hours later.
Avon coroner Maria Voisin said there were gross failures in Isabel's care at the Bristol Royal Infirmary.
She said a doctor who saw Isabel should have referred her case to a registrar before allowing her to be discharged.
The coroner also noted the doctor did not take an accurate history and diagnosis of viral gastroenteritis was not appropriate and underestimated her condition.
Ms Voisin recorded a verdict of death by natural causes, and called on the government to fund meningitis vaccinations for teenagers.
Isabel's mother Claire Booty said the family believed Isabel would have had a "better chance" at a children's hospital "given her illness is more prevalent in the teenage age group due to their physiology".
She added Bristol Royal Infirmary failed to give Isabel a "thorough and logical" assessment and questioned whether the hospital had "the ability" to learn from her daughter's death.
Isabel, known as Izzy, had been revising for AS level exams when she started to feel unwell on 18 May. She was taken to hospital, by ambulance, at 01:00 GMT but was sent home at 05:00.
Avon Coroner's Court heard the teenager "could hardly walk to the car" when they left the hospital after the initial assessment.
The court heard there had been a possible case of meningitis at her school, St Brendan's Sixth Form College in Bristol, a couple of weeks earlier and all students had been given leaflets explaining the symptoms.
Paramedic Gary White, who was called out on 18 May, said he had been told the patient might have meningitis but said he "couldn't detect any major symptoms such as a rash or photophobia [an intolerance of bright lights]".
However, Ms Booty said Izzy "kept asking for the lights to be turned down" in the hospital treatment room.
The inquest heard Izzy deteriorated over the day and another ambulance was called which took her back to the hospital at 17:30.
The consultant who treated Izzy diagnosed meningitis and told Ms Booty her daughter was "very seriously ill".
The next day an MRI scan detected Izzy's brain was swelling and she died on 20 May.
A spokesman for University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust said it would "carefully consider" the recommendations the coroner made.
He said as a result of Isabel's death a number of measures had been implemented, such as a reviiew of training for doctors taking patient histories and an updated system of early warning scores.
"Our deep regret is that these measures did not ensure that we took steps to prevent Isabel's illness from developing to the point where it could not be treated. Our commitment is to learn all we can from her very sad death," he added.
The test, which they describe as "a major advance", hunts for tiny spheres of fat that are shed by the cancers.
Early results published in the journal Nature showed the test was 100% accurate.
Experts said the findings were striking and ingenious, but required refinement before they could become a cancer test.
The number of people who survive 10 years after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is less than 1% in England and Wales compared with 78% for breast cancer.
The tumour results in very few symptoms in its early stages and by the time people become unwell, the cancer has often spread around the body and become virtually untreatable.
A wall of fat marks the boundary of every cell in the human body. Tiny spheres of fat - called vesicles or exosomes - can break away to store and transport goods around the body.
The team at the Anderson Cancer Centre at the University of Texas looked for the unique signatures of cancer in these fatty exosomes.
They noticed one protein, called proteoglycan glypican-1, was found in much higher levels in people with pancreatic cancer.
Further tests on the blood of 270 people showed it was 100% accurate at distinguishing between cancers, other pancreatic disorders and healthy tissue.
One of the researchers Dr Raghu Kalluri told the BBC News website: "We think the ability to identify and isolate cancer exosomes is a major advance and provides the possibility of immensely benefiting our patients."
He said the need for such a test was "huge" and it was "not too far" from the clinic.
"The clinical symptoms arise late in patients with this cancer and also the tools to track their disease before and after therapy and during remission and relapse are not good.
"So, having a reliable biomarker with the ability to identify mutations is of great value."
However, it is not clear how early it could pick up the cancer.
Nell Barrie, from Cancer Research UK, said the research was "ingenious" and could "one day offer a way to spot diseases like pancreatic cancer at a much earlier stage".
Although she said there was "much more work to be done".
Prof Dorothy Bennett, from St George's, University of London, said the test had a "striking 100% accuracy".
"This study strongly suggests that a way to create a test for pancreatic cancer has been found in principle.
"This would be very good news for patients suspected of having this cancer."
The referrals rate, which stood at 41 in 2013, has more than doubled in 2014 to 118.
West Midlands Police said the rise was down to an increase in women coming forward, rather than an increase in the practice.
Campaigners said the figures were "heartening".
The practice is cultural rather than religious and has no health benefits.
Police said they were working to raise awareness of FGM among communities and professionals.
"This will not be tolerated in this country - it is illegal," said Det Con Gillian Squires from West Midlands Police.
"It's important for us to protect children from this and stop it happening in the first place."
Virginia, who now lives in the West Midlands, was adopted by an aunt in South Africa as a child.
At the age of eight, she says she was subjected to regular, repeated abuse.
"It did hurt and it was very degrading," she said.
"It was systematic and there would be times when I wasn't given any food because I refused to open my legs."
Her 12-year-old daughter Hannah now campaigns for FGM to be discussed in schools.
2012 - 25 referrals
2013 - 41 referrals
2014 - (to November) 118 referrals.
Prior to this, the figures were in single numbers.

Fadel Takrouri, chairman of the British Arab Foundation, which has campaigned against FGM, said heightened publicity had led to the rise in reports.
"It's not the practice that's increasing - it's the reporting," he said.
"It's because of the courageous decision of women to speak out at great risk to themselves."
Warwickshire's Jeetan Patel was left on 49 not out when England spinner Adil Rashid (2-7) bowled Oliver Hannon-Dalby through his legs to seal the win.
Resuming on 85-9, Warwickshire's last-wicket pair managed to add 30 to the total, keeping Ben Coad at bay.
But the in-form paceman finished with 5-50 for final match figures of 10-102.
I watched him in the winter and he has really come on. At the moment it's fair to say he's the first name on the team sheet. This is good for the club when a youngster breaks through and there's now a healthy competition for places in that area.
The 23-year-old from Harrogate has now taken 18 wickets in two County Championship matches this summer and his efforts went a long way to enabling Yorkshire to wipe out the memory of last week's defeat by Hampshire.
Victory put the 2014 and 2015 champions third in the formative Division One table, with Warwickshire at the bottom having mustered only three points from back-to-back defeats.
After Patel survived a confident lbw appeal in Rashid's opening over, he at least gave them the consolation of reaching three figures with a lofted off-drive down the ground off Coad.
And the New Zealander, who has two first-class centuries to his credit, also lifted Rashid for six before the end finally came.
Warwickshire sport director Ashley Giles:
"The first two games have been really disappointing after such high hopes during the winter.
"We've done a lot of good preparation, but just not put it into practice. It's certainly hit the dressing room hard but all we can do is try to turn it around. After results like that you are always looking for a reaction and that's what we will look for (in next weekend's return game) against Surrey.
"A lot of these guys have done a lot for this club in the past and now we are asking them to go again. Surrey will be a tough challenge but we just need to play better cricket all round."
Yorkshire head coach Andrew Gale:
"It was a big week for us having played so well last week when we didn't get anything out of the game. We showed a lot of character.
"After last week's game we spoke a lot about wining key passages of play. In the third innings we let Hampshire back in the game, but in this game we got an opportunity to get ourselves in front and get away from them and we took it.
"If I was being ultra-critical I would have liked one of our top six to go on and get a hundred after they all got starts. But, on the whole, winning those key sessions was the difference."
Blizzard announced it had banned a "large number" of accounts in a message posted to the game's online forums.
The accounts had been discovered using programs, called "bots", that automate gameplay, said Blizzard.
This violated the game's terms of use and gave bot users an unfair advantage, it added.
"Cheating of any form will not be tolerated," said the message.
Blizzard did not reveal how many accounts had been shut down. However, a widely-shared screengrab of a conversation between a player and a customer service rep suggested that about 100,000 accounts had been closed.
The ban will be in force for six months, said Blizzard.
The action is likely to hit many people who play World of Warcraft simply to get in-game gold that they can later sell to other players. These players often use bots to automate the repetitive steps needed to complete quests or other actions that generate gold.
However, gaming news site Kotaku said the large number of banned accounts was likely to have caught more casual players who use third-party programs to automate the work characters in the game must do to refine raw materials or produce desirable crafted items.
This, it said, probably explained the short duration of the ban. In the past, Blizzard had permanently banned people it had caught using bots and other helper programs.
A WoW community manager seemed to confirm this conclusion in a tweet sent hours after the bans were enforced saying "botting" involved the automation of any action, not just movement.
"If a program is pressing keys for you, you've violated the ToU [terms of use]," he said.

Katie Parke was diagnosed with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis as a toddler. It means deposits build up in the lungs making it hard to breathe.
A 3D printed windpipe was used by doctors to practice delicate surgery before an operation to clean her lungs.
Sharon Parke said Katie was now able to live a relatively normal life.
"I think because Katie has such a fighting spirit you take it day by day and its just life," she said.
"We don't dwell on how sick she is because she pulls through each time."
The Londonderry girl is now back in school taking part in PE class for the first time.
Everyday activities such as running and jumping were all things she was unable to do before the operation.
The new technique was developed by a team of doctors at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Katie will continue to make regular trips to the hospital to have her lungs cleaned.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis requires regular washing of the lungs with saltwater to remove the deposits.
According to research by the team, there are only three children worldwide that have the disease.
Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, Ms Parke explained how her daughter was first diagnosed.
"When Katie was three and a half she took severe pneumonia and they couldn't get her off the oxygen so they sent her for further investigation up at the Royal.
"They diagnosed that her and at the time the signs weren't good for Katie because she was in such poor health."
She said surgeons had ever worked on someone so young or so small.
"They found it very hard to get the right tubing's and pipes to fit Katie's throat," Ms Parke said.
"To put Katie under anaesthetic, there's always a risk she won't pull through.
"They were able to make a trachea perfectly proportioned to Katie's, which meant prior to operations, they were able to work with different tubing to fit her trachea and that saved a lot of time in surgery."
During Katie's operation, one of her lungs needed to be ventilated while the other was cleaned.
The technology meant that Katie spent less time under anaesthetic and being ventilated.
Shirley McKenna, the principal of Glendermott Primary School in Derry, said Katie was an inspiration.
"For her grit, her determination in how she's faced the challenges in life, she's an absolute credit to us as a school and her family.
"She's an amazing wee girl."
A National Audit Office report said there were 98 people on that salary level last year, up from 89 in 2012.
The BBC said reductions in the overall number of senior managers mean some staff now have more responsibilities, which has been reflected in their pay.
Meanwhile, MPs have criticised the BBC and Capita, the firm it hired, for not doing more to cut licence fee evasion.
The NAO said the BBC had reduced the cost of its payroll by 6% in real terms and its senior management pay bill by £17.1m.
The number of senior managers dropped from 540 to 319 between 2012 and 2016.
But a target to reduce the number earning more than £150,000 by 20% has been missed.
While the corporation also missed out on a target to reduce the proportion of senior bosses to 1% of the workforce by 0.6%, it expects a reorganisation will address that within the next few months.
The report from the Public Accounts Committee on the licence fee criticised contractor Capita for its "poor" performance.
The evasion rate currently stands between 6.2% and 7.2% and has not reduced to target levels, the committee's report said.
About three million enforcement visits took place in 2015-16, but 18% fewer evaders were caught.
MPs said collectors often find homes empty as more than half of visits take place during working hours.
They noted the BBC has increased licence fee revenue every year since 2010-11, to £3.74bn in 2015-16, and has reduced the costs of collection by 25% in real terms.
But it suggested up to £291m a year was still being lost because of people not paying the licence fee, which is currently £147 a year.
MPs also said they were "concerned" about reports some Capita staff some had targeted vulnerable residents in collecting the licence fee, spurred on by an aggressive incentive scheme.
Capita is expected to report its findings on the claims to BBC director general Lord Hall in the next few weeks.
Responding to the NAO findings, BBC deputy director general Anne Bulford said: "The NAO report acknowledges the BBC's approach to managing our workforce is securing better value for money meaning we are better placed to face the challenges ahead.
"We are pleased that the NAO has also recognised the steps taken to simplify the BBC; to increase the diversity of our workforce, and to reduce payroll costs by six per cent in real terms including almost halving the number of senior managers."
On the licence fee report, a BBC spokesman said the fall in costs of collection had resulted in increased revenue for programmes and services.
He added: "There has always been a small minority who refuse to pay the licence fee, so we'll continue to use the full range of enforcement methods and encourage people to buy a licence at every stage, as well as considering any further improvements which can be made."
Leslie Binns was about 500m from the summit in May when he saved Sunita Hazra, an Indian woman who was slipping down the mountain.
The 42-year-old, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, helped her down to a camp where her frostbite was treated.
Mr Binns said he would return to Nepal in April to raise money for charity.
The mountaineer, who was in the Army for 13 years, lost vision in his left eye after he was hit by an improvised explosive device in 2009.
Talking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Mr Binns said he encountered Mrs Hazra on his final summit push.
"She came flying down the mountain - I basically rugby tackled her to stop her going any further down, maybe to her death," he said.
"She was out of oxygen, her gloves were off, she had frostbite; that's when I decided to cancel my summit bid and take her down to the relative safety of camp four."
After using a hot flask of tea to increase her body temperature, she eventually received hospital treatment and made "just about a full recovery", Mr Binns said.
He will fly out on 5 April for a second ascent, while raising money for a charity which helped him to retrain after he was medically discharged from the Army.
He described it as another go at "the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life".
"It's a lifelong dream to get to the summit of this mountain - you spend a lot of money and the mental and physical effort is unbelievable," he said.
"Of course I was gutted, but on the other hand I've managed to save a woman's life and get her back to her family, so that more than makes up for it."
Senior prosecutor Francois Molins, formally opening an investigation, said it was clear that the 25-year-old Moroccan suspect, Ayoub El-Khazzani, had intended to carry out mass slaughter.
He told a news conference in Paris that El-Khazzani had watched an online recording inciting radical violence minutes before the thwarted attack on the train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris.
He said the gunman boarded the train in Brussels on Friday armed with:
Mr Khazzani denies planning to launch a terrorist attack, saying he had come across a stash of weapons in a Belgian park and decided to use it to rob passengers.
Born in 1989 in Tetouan, in northern Morocco, Ayoub El-Khazzani is said to have arrived in Spain in 2007 where he was later granted residency.
"He sold hashish sometimes, like many do, to buy something to eat, pay the rent, but he was not a trafficker," Mohamed, a builder from his former Madrid neighbourhood, told AFP news agency.
"He was a good guy, normal, who played football with us right here. It's strange that he could have done this."
Mr Khazzani was detained several times in Spain for drug trafficking, French prosecutors say.
He came to the attention of anti-terror authorities for having jihadist beliefs and attending a radical mosque in the southern city of Algeciras.
The suspect was flagged up to France by the Spanish authorities in February 2014 as an Islamist extremist who may travel to France.
But during a period of between five and seven months living in the French town of Aubervilliers, he did not emerge as a threat, Mr Molins said.
Mr Khazzani worked for mobile phone company Lycamobile in the town for two months before leaving because he did not have the right work documents.
He then moved between Cologne in Germany, the Austrian capital, Vienna, and Brussels where he said he had been living in a park near the city's Midi railway station.
Mr Khazzani says he was left homeless in Belgium after his identity documents were stolen. Prosecutors say he had been staying with his sister.
Mr Khazzani allegedly travelled to Turkey in May - something he has denied via his lawyer in Arras, as well as denying travelling to Syria.
Prosecutors described the suspect as a "fantasist" who had watched a jihadist YouTube recording on a mobile phone whilst already on the busy Thalys train.
He had locked himself in a toilet cubicle before emerging topless and armed.
The gunman was wrestled to the floor and subdued by two young American off-duty servicemen, their friend and a 62-year-old British consultant.
One of the US servicemen, Alek Skarlatos, disputed the gunman's claim that he just wanted to rob passengers because he was hungry.
He said he had a lot of ammunition and "his intentions were pretty clear", but that he appeared untrained.
"He clearly had no firearms training whatsoever."
"If he knew what he was doing, or even just got lucky... we would have all been in trouble and probably wouldn't be here today - along with a lot of other people."
The €80bn-a-month quantitative easing scheme had been due to end in March, although the bank had been expected to extend it for at least six months.
In a move that surprised markets, the ECB said it would only buy bonds worth €60bn a month from April.
The bank also kept its key interest rate unchanged at zero as expected.
Yields on most eurozone government bond yields rose slightly after the changes were announced, before returning to levels hit just before the statement.
Germany's 10-year bond yield - the benchmark for the eurozone - was at 0.43% after falling as low as 0.37%. The return has risen since the summer after falling into negative territory for the first time in June.
After rising initially, the euro fell sharply against all major currencies including the US dollar.
The ECB said that if the economic outlook "becomes less favourable", it would expand the size or length of its bond-buying programme.
Mario Draghi, the bank's president, told a press conference in Frankfurt that "tapering has not been discussed".
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, described the QE move as a reasonable compromise.
"The stimulus will provide a further boost the region's recovery in the face of elevated levels of political uncertainty, but also recognises the encouraging recent economic data flow and the growing constraint on the amount of assets eligible for purchase."
Neil Williams, chief economist at Hermes Investment Management, said the changes meant that the ECB's "liquidity sink is still filling up".
"By tapering its monthly asset purchases from €80bn down to €60bn, [Draghi] is still looking to inject an extra €540bn in QE. To put this into perspective, this easily surpasses in equivalent terms, the combined GDPs of Greece and Portugal for example."
However, Kathleen Brooks of City Index described the ECB meeting as a "financial version of Alice in Wonderland" given some of the changes the bank was forced to make to its bond-buying scheme.
"It will now include bond purchases below its own deposit rate, which is already minus 0.4%. Thus, the ECB will be paying to hold some bonds that will be included in its QE programme. The craziness doesn't stop there; some of those bonds have a negative yield because of the ECB's QE programme in the first place," she said.
"The ECB has had to buy negative-yielding bonds because it has bought all the eligible higher yielding stuff, so it has no choice."
Although the risk of deflation in the eurozone had largely disappeared, Mr Draghi said that "uncertainty prevails".
The bank raised its forecasts slightly for next year and now expects inflation of 1.3% - still some distance below its 2% target - and growth of 1.7%.
Inflation is expected to be 1.6% in 2018 and 1.7% the following year, with growth steady at 1.6% for both years.
The bank also left at zero its refinancing rate, at which it lends money to commercial banks, and -0.4% on deposits it takes from banks. That negative rate aims to encourage banks to lend money rather than hoard it at the ECB.
The decision to extend the QE scheme helped shares in Italian banks continue to rise, with the sector on track for its best week since at least 2009.
The Kano state government asked that the case be dismissed because she was a minor who had been forcibly married.
The girl is to be freed from detention following the ruling, reports the BBC's Habiba Adamu from the capital, Abuja.
When the case was reported in 2014, it threw a spotlight on the issue of child brides and forced marriages in Nigeria.
The girl admitted to killing her husband by concealing rat poison in his food, the police in Kano said at the time.
The girl's father had forced her to marry the 35-year-old man, police said.
The Islamic police in Kano and many other parts of northern Nigeria are trying to stop parents from forcing children into marriages.
The region has a majority Muslim, and a mixture of a secular and lslamic system of government.
Keen to get retailers on board, Facebook is sending out free Bluetooth beacon devices to firms that request them.
Other tech companies, including Apple, have experimented with similar systems.
One marketing expert told the BBC it is important the systems do not become "intrusive".
Facebook has been conducting a trial of Place Tips in New York City since the start of the year, where more than 100 businesses have taken part.
Currently it only works with Apple devices, but a version that supports smartphones powered by Google's Android operating system is being developed.
The social network has now announced it is rolling out Place Tips across the US, but has not said when it plans to bring the system to other parts of the world.
Once a business - such as a coffee shop or restaurant - sets up a beacon, it can detect when a Facebook user is within a set distance.
The beacon can then send "fun, useful and relevant" information into the user's News Feed.
According to Facebook's explanation page, this information could include content posted by friends in the same place, as well as popular menu items and upcoming events.
The page notes that the feature can be turned off.
Aaron Wachsstock, a digital content strategist at the Virginia-based Borenstein Group, told the BBC that Facebook would need to be careful in how it allowed information to be sent out.
"I can definitely see the potential, but I can also see how people could feel it is intrusive.
"If people get all these messages when they enter a store, they could view it as spam."
Facebook told the BBC that companies would not yet be able to use the service to advertise, but that this position may change in the future.
The social network was also keen to stress that information sharing is "one way".
"The beacons don't collect any information from people or their phones or change the kind of location information Facebook receives," the company explained.
Apple's own beacon technology - iBeacon - is also currently being tested by businesses around the world, including a select number of McDonald's restaurants and shops on London's Regent Street.
At McDonald's, special deals for chicken nuggets were pushed to customer's phones as they entered the premises - resulting, the restaurant chain said, in a 7.5% increase in nugget sales in the 26 locations involved.
Mr Wachsstock said companies must be completely open about how the systems work. otherwise people would simply disable the feature.
"There is a lot of paranoia - people might wonder 'who's watching me?'
"As long as people are aware of how it's supposed to act it should be accepted."

Police have received new complaints against the TV entertainer, who was convicted of 12 indecent assaults on four girls in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
One of those Harris, 84, abused was an autograph hunter aged seven or eight, another a friend of his daughter.
Up to 12 people contacted a law firm after the verdict about civil claims.
The firm, Slater & Gordon, which is also representing people who have made sexual abuse complaints against the late DJ Jimmy Savile, said it was carefully considering their cases.
It is believed some of the people who contacted the firm were also in touch with police or the NSPCC charity during Harris's seven-week trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
There have also been complaints to police from people in Harris's native Australia.
By Jon DonnisonBBC News, Sydney
But while officers in Western Australia said there were currently no new investigations into him, a Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed the UK force had "received a number of new allegations and these are now being considered".
The NSPCC children's charity says its helpline has received a number of calls relating to Harris since the trial began and passed these on to on police for investigation.
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said it was too early to say whether Harris could face any further action.
"We'll work with the police and look at any cases that they send to us and see if there is enough evidence to bring more charges," she told the BBC.
In Australia, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was "gutted and dismayed" by what Harris had done.
Mr Abbott told Australia's ABC radio sexual abuse was "an utterly abhorrent crime" and added: "It's just sad and tragic that this person, who was widely admired, seems to have been a perpetrator."
Tributes to Perth-born Harris in Western Australia could now be removed, the city's mayor Lisa Scaffidi said.
The verdict was greeted on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald with a full-page mugshot beneath a one-word "Guilty" headline.
During his trial prosecutors said Harris was a "Jekyll and Hyde" character who took advantage of his fame.
The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, said a custodial term would be "uppermost in the court's mind" when sentence was delivered on Friday, but he wanted to see a medical report first.
The majority of allegations during Harris's trial concerned the friend of the entertainer's daughter whom he had groomed and molested from the age of 13 until she was 19.
The other victims were two women who were touched by Harris at public appearances, and an Australian woman who told the court he indecently assaulted her at a pub during a visit to London when she was 15 year old.
Six women also told the court about indecent assaults Harris had carried out against them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta. The entertainer could not be prosecuted over those incidents in a British court but the evidence was introduced as an added illustration of his behaviour.
And the prosecution highlighted similarities in all the women's stories when presenting its case.
One of Harris's victims, Tonya Lee, 43, said the abuse had led her to contemplate taking her own life.
The mother-of-three, who waived her right to anonymity, said: "To this day I can't go to sleep without lying in a lounge and having the TV on. I cannot lie in a room and try and sit with my thoughts and go to sleep."
Harris, from Bray, Berkshire, was first questioned in November 2012 in Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree investigation set up in the wake of sexual abuse allegations against the late BBC Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile.
Although his arrest was unconnected to Savile's offending, the publicity surrounding that case had prompted the friend of Harris's daughter to come forward.
Lawyers for Harris wrote to media organisations including the BBC at the time warning them against naming their client and threatening libel action.
When he was arrested again in March 2013 the Met did not name Harris and he was not identified in the mainstream media until a few weeks later.
The other women who gave evidence in court contacted police after Harris's arrest was made public and he was charged in August of that year.
Harris was named last week in a report into the actions of Savile, which revealed Harris had visited Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in 1973.
Politicians and officials have faced criticism for allowing Savile, whose prolific abuse sparked the Yewtree investigation, unrestricted access to the psychiatric hospital where he assaulted patients.
A spokeswoman for West London Mental Heath NHS Trust, which runs services at Broadmoor, said Harris may have been accompanied by Savile during his visit but that he was also escorted by staff at all times and there was "no suggestion of any inappropriate behaviour".
In the 1980s Harris fronted a child protection awareness video in which he was filmed telling children how to say no to predatory adults.
John Cameron - head of child protection at the NSPCC - told BBC Breakfast: "The audacity of the man is beyond belief.
"Here he was, giving this pretence that he had children's welfare at heart, but of course behind the scenes, in front of many people, he was abusing children on a regular basis."
Mr Cameron also told the BBC that the number of general calls to the NSPCC, not involving Harris, had seen a "significant increase" following Monday's verdicts.
"We have had more calls, about historic and contemporary abuse," he said. "The media attention has been key to getting people to have confidence in the services. At long last, they're going to be believed, and listened to, and taken seriously.
"Now Harris has been found guilty, they can see the process works."
Speaking after the entertainer was convicted, Det Ch Insp Mick Orchard said the "case and verdict once again shows that we will always listen to, and investigate allegations regardless of the time frame or those involved".
Harris was a mainstay of family entertainment in Britain and his native Australia for more than 50 years, appearing on the BBC and other TV networks.
He is to be stripped of his British Academy of Film and Television Arts fellowship - the TV industry's highest accolade - which was awarded two years ago, a Bafta spokesman said after the verdict.
There are also calls for him to lose the honours given to him by the Queen.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk said: "I think the guy is an absolute disgrace and he is bringing the whole honours system into disrepute."
The Australian, who began his career as an artist, became a CBE in 2005, the year he painted a portrait of the Queen to mark her 80th birthday.
A final decision on whether to revoke Harris's honours ultimately rests with Buckingham Palace. | Islamic State (IS) militants have tightened their grip on the centre of the Iraqi city of Ramadi after repelling an advance by government forces.

This is the result of a high profile campaign, named "Crack-hard Special Operation", launched on 23 May last year, a day after suicide attacks killed 39 people in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.
According to Chinese media, the campaign targeting terrorists and religious extremism had become a strong deterrent, with 112 people turning themselves in to the police.
Ordinary people have shown strong support by reporting crimes, the reports add, stressing that legal procedures were strictly followed and the rights of the defendants respected.
It is not clear what Beijing means by a terror group. Access to journalists in Xinjiang is limited, making verification difficult.
Even by Chinese standards, the smashing of such a large number of terror groups is quite staggering.
On the one hand, there were enhanced armed patrols, setting up of check points, networks of neighbourhood watch and "inspection of households"; and on the other hand a de-radicalisation programme was put in place to combat religious extremism, and there was a crack down on the trade in illegal videos and criminals engaged in illegal marriages.
It is worth noting that these reports did not directly mention the fact that there had been a series of attacks in Xinjiang while the "crack-hard" campaign was going on, including the one in Kashgar on 12 October in which 22 people were killed.
There was also a bomb and knife attack on 18 November in Shache prefecture in which 15 people were killed, including 11 attackers.
There was a reference, however, to a security operation in which up to 10,000 ordinary people lent a helping hand, some staking out suspects for seven days in the mountains. This was praised as a shining example of the "people's war".
Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs?
There is no figure as to how many people have been arrested and convicted during the year-long crackdown, but there have been interim reports during the year.
For instance, Chinese media reported that less than two months into the campaign, more than 400 people had been arrested and 40 violent groups smashed.
A number of people have been executed, often after trial proceedings lasting a matter of days.
In June last year, 13 people were executed in Xinjiang for acts of terror, including three who were convicted of a deadly jeep-crash in Tiananmen Square in October 2013.
Twelve more were put to death last October for attacks that left nearly 100 people dead in Shache in July.
About 60% of Xinjiang residents are Uighur Muslims and although ethnic tension has existed for decades, there seems to be an escalation of violent clashes in the past few years.
The Chinese authorities blame a separatist movement, hostile foreign forces and religious extremism for the troubles, while rights groups criticise the government for repression of religious freedom and dissidents in the region.
Amnesty International said in a statement soon after the campaign started: "Ethnic Uighurs face widespread discrimination including in employment, education and housing, and curtailed religious freedom and political marginalisation."
It criticised the "deplorable" mass sentencing of 55 people at a stadium that month, in front of more than 7,000 people.
"Those responsible for the recent violent attacks have shown a callous disregard for human life and must be held to account. But speedy show-trials will not deliver justice for the victims," the statement said.
Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for World Uighur Congress based in Sweden, told the BBC that the recent report from Xinjiang simply shows that the crackdown on the Uiguir people had intensified, and the resentment from the people is increasing.
He dismissed the Chinese government's phrasing of pre-mediated attacks, insisting that conflicts can occur any time where there is provocation, and that the Chinese authorities simply don't want to shoulder any responsibility for the situation in Xinjiang.
Nicola Sturgeon greeted them outside the House of Commons, where the SNP leader said they would make Scotland's voice heard like never before.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister David Cameron has confirmed David Mundell as the new secretary of state for Scotland.
Mr Mundell is the only Conservative MP in Scotland.
He had previously served in the Scotland Office as a junior minister.
The SNP won all but three of Scotland's 59 seats in last Thursday's election, with Labour and the Liberal Democrats also only holding on to one seat each.
Labour confirmed its sole remaining Scottish MP - Ian Murray in Edinburgh South - will be the party's shadow Scottish secretary as the party's MSPs held a near three-hour long meeting held to discuss Scottish Labour's election performance.
The party's leader Jim Murphy has refused to resign but there have been calls for him to go to allow the party to have a fresh start.
Speaking outside the party's HQ after the meeting, finance spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said the "overwhelming majority" of MSPs wanted Mr Murphy and his deputy Kezia Dugdale to "lead us forward into the future".
The SNP is due to formally appoint its Westminster group leader following a meeting of its MPs on Tuesday, with Moray MP Angus Robertson expected to continue in the post he held during the previous parliament.
The role will take on a new prominence with an appearance at Prime Minister's Questions every week after the SNP was officially given third party status in the House of Commons.
As the third largest party in Parliament, the SNP is also expected to take up a front bench on the opposition side of the Commons, which had been occupied by the Liberal Democrats before 2010.
Among the SNP ranks at the Westminster event were former leader and first minister Alex Salmond, and 20-year-old Mhairi Black, the UK's youngest MP in about 350 years.
The group was met by a huge press pack and onlookers wielding a giant Saltire flag.
Speaking to reporters, Ms Sturgeon said the SNP would be the "principled opposition in this place to the Conservative government."
She added: "The SNP has worked long and hard in this election to make Scotland's voice heard. To have people in Scotland in such overwhelming numbers put their trust in us is fantastic, but also is a big responsibility.
"We are determined to make Scotland's voice heard here in Westminster, but we are also determined to be that voice for progressive politics that we promised to be during the election; to stand up to policies from a Conservative government that will damage Scotland; and to make common cause with others of like mind from across the UK."
Ms Sturgeon, who had a brief telephone conversation with the prime minister last Friday, said she hoped to have "more detailed conversations" with Mr Cameron in the near future.
She said: "His starting point seemed to be to implement the Smith Commission proposals. I don't think that goes far enough and I think that has to be looked at again.
"David Cameron cannot simply operate as if nothing has changed in Scotland - everything has changed."
Mr Salmond, who arrived at the event at the St Stephens' entrance to parliament separately from other SNP MPs, said: "When I was last here we had to run around to look like a crowd - now we are a crowd.
"Obviously we are seeing a major change and shift in Scottish politics. Behind the number of MPs we are seeing a seismic shift - clearly Scotland is on a journey, there's no doubt about that whatsoever.
"But Nicola Sturgeon was quite right - the election result was not a mandate for independence or for a referendum on independence."
Asked how he would adjust from being first minister to a Commons back bencher, Mr Salmond added: "I loved being first minister but everything has its time and I think things are turning out not too badly."
Ms Sturgeon has already issued calls for more powers for Holyrood in the wake of the SNP's election success.
She wants business taxation and control over welfare to be devolved as "priorities", and will meet the prime minister in the coming weeks to discuss the issue.
Some Tory politicians have urged Mr Cameron to offer the SNP full fiscal autonomy.
The policy, which the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said would leave a multibillion-pound shortfall in Scotland's finances, was contained in the SNP's election manifesto.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, who served as Scottish secretary in John Major's Conservative government, said a White Paper on full fiscal autonomy was needed.
He told the BBC's Today programme: "They got 50% of the vote and 95% of the seats and the reality is you have to respond to that and I think what the government needs to do is produce a White Paper which sets out how fiscal autonomy, devo-max, call it what you will, would work in practice so people are aware of the advantages and the disadvantages.
"The big advantage being Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP would not be able to produce fantasy manifestos that promise the earth without having the responsibility of raising the money to pay for it."
Former Labour chancellor Alistair Darling, who led last year's campaign against independence, told the same programme that he believed the cross-party Smith Commission agreement on more powers for Scotland which was agreed after the referendum had been "completely overtaken by events".
He added: "It won't do the business for Scotland, it's lopsided, therefore it is unfair on England - and if you compound that, as David Cameron has suggested, by saying that essentially English MPs will decide tax and spending, you are well on the way to breaking up the Union."
Mr Darling said the UK instead needed to move towards a federal solution by offering substantially more powers and responsibilities to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
He added: "Critically they have got to be more responsible for raising the money to pay for things, but at the same time you remove this anomaly where, when I was an MP, I could vote for English education, but I couldn't vote for Scottish education.
"That's got to be dealt with, there's no question about that. But I think if we're intelligent about this we've got a chance for building a constitution for the 21st Century."

Using techniques including wearable technology, they are looking for what are known as biomarkers - the very early physical signs of the disease.
These can be spotted long before more obvious symptoms emerge.
They hope it will open up new avenues for tackling Alzheimer's before the brain suffers serious damage.
Nearly 47 million people worldwide were estimated to be living with dementia in 2015.
Experts hope to find new markers - tell-tale signs on eye scans, brain scans or in the blood, for example - that might offer the earliest clue of the onset of dementia.
The research, funded by the National Institute for Health Research and the Medical Research Council, is being aided by around 250 volunteers, including former university academic Peter Lindon.
He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and hopes his involvement in this latest research project may answer some troubling questions.
"The importance is hard to overestimate because the question of one's short-term memory deteriorating has many consequences," he says.
"The major concern one is principally bothered about is how much time you've got when you're likely to be competent, until the time that you are no longer competent."
Peter has undergone a whole range of tests, mental and physical, to help researchers identify the biomarkers for Alzheimer's with early diagnosis possibly the best hope of finding an effective treatment.
Race against time
BBC iWonder: How close are we to stopping Alzheimer’s?
Researcher Jennifer Lawson, from Oxford University, says: "Over the last decade or more, 99% of clinical trials into treatments for Alzheimer's disease have failed.
"We think the reason for that is we are simply trying these in people far too late.
"By the time someone comes to their GP and they think they might have some memory problems and they get a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, it's likely the brain has been under attack from this illness for 10 or even 20 years before."
In a highly-equipped laboratory in Newcastle University's Clinical Ageing Research Unit, another volunteer, Trish Jones, has undergone an examination of how she walks, known as a "gait test".
This research uses cheap and portable wearable technology to track how Trish moves, meaning it can be used as she goes about her everyday life.
As Trish acknowledges, that gives researchers a much more accurate picture of what is really going on.
"The fact is that when I'm walking normally, I do have a wobble," she says. "Walking here in the lab is very straightforward, no wobbles, no nothing!
"It doesn't show you the right picture so it's important to have this on for seven days because when I'm walking normally I can be distracted and just start veering off.
"People probably think I'm drunk, I don't know - I hope not!"
Lynn Rochester, professor of human movement science at Newcastle University, says the act of walking can give us vital clues about how the brain is functioning.
"Gait, or how someone walks, isn't on the face of it an obvious thing that we'd want to measure in this type of study.
"But we're not headless chickens, we have to think about what we're doing with our feet and particularly when we are walking around in the real world.
"You have to make a lot of decisions about navigation, someone might be distracting you and talking to you, you are turning and looking at obstacles in the environment, so there's an awful lot of cognitive skills that are required to enable someone to walk safely and independently."

Alan was the Syrian three-year-old whose photograph - lying dead on a beach - focused world attention on the refugee crisis in September 2015.
Mufawaka Alabash and Asem Alfrhad, both Syrian nationals, are being tried in Bodrum, the same Turkish seaside city where his body was washed up.
Mr Alabash and Mr Alfrhad face up to 35 years in prison each if found guilty.
They are charged with human smuggling and with causing the deaths of five people "through deliberate negligence".
Both said they were innocent of the charges at the hearing on Thursday, which, the BBC understands, has already finished.
Their next hearing will be in early March and the men will remain in custody until then.
Alan's five-year-old brother Galib and his mother Rihan also drowned when the boat they were on sank during an attempted crossing to the Greek island of Kos.
The father of the family, Abdullah, survived. He is currently thought to be living outside Turkey.

Speaking in Brussels, The Mayor of London called on a gathering of politicians and business leaders not to "instil fear" during withdrawal negotiations.
He also stressed the economic importance of London to the EU.
Prime Minister Theresa May is due to invoke Article 50 on Wednesday.
Mr Khan said: "Now is the time to be confident in the European Union and to act with confidence. There is no need - as some have suggested - for the EU to send a message, or to instil fear, by punishing the UK.
"Because a proud, optimistic and confident institution does not secure its future by fear."
Mr Khan's speech was intended to put the "emotional" argument for a fair deal between the EU and the UK.
Stressing that all Europeans living in London were Londoners, he said the capital would remain Europe's only global city after withdrawal, and that both sides need each other to boost their own prosperity.
"My city is not only the beating heart of Britain's economy, but the single most important organ for growth across Europe. I say this with friendship and all due respect - but a bad Brexit deal that hurts London would hurt the European Union too," he said.
Such a deal could see major businesses quitting Europe altogether for territories such as Singapore and New York, he added.
Mr Khan also called on the prime minister to make a gesture of goodwill when she invokes Article 50 by offering a "cast iron" guarantee of the rights of 3.3 million EU citizens in the UK.
"We're talking about people's lives and families... and that is just too important to use as a bargaining chip," he added.
London was one of the few areas in England to vote in favour of remaining in the EU in last June's referendum.
Some £235m of bank debt will be written off, helping to cut the total to £329m.
Three major investors will also inject £75m into the firm. Much of it will go into refurbishing 175 hotels, starting next year.
Travelodge also wants to find new operators for 49 hotels and pay greatly reduced rents on 109 more.
It said it would work with its landlords to try to find other businesses to take over the running of the hotels, in the hope of avoiding job losses.
Travelodge has been struggling with debts estimated at more than £1bn, but has been making profits on its day-to-day operations. It will now be given more time to pay off its remaining debts at lower interest rates.
It does not own its hotels and many of its leases were agreed at the peak of the property market before the 2008 financial crash.
Chief executive Grant Hearn said it was now in a much stronger financial position.
"This new appropriate level [of debts, interest payments and rental costs] will provide greater security for our staff, suppliers, landlords and developers," Mr Hearn said.
"This is a successful brand with millions of customers and the company will emerge in excellent shape from this process."
As part of the deal, control will pass from private equity firm Dubai International Capital, which bought Travelodge in 2006, to Goldman Sachs, GoldenTree Asset Management and Avenue Capital Group.
Dubai International Capital raised the money to finance the deal by issuing a £480m eurobond.
This debt was added to Travelodge's balance sheet, but will now by written off by the Dubai investment firm as part of the restructuring deal, further reducing its debts.
The reductions in hotel numbers and rent payments are proposed as part of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), a legal process which helps companies reduce debts and outgoings. It has to be agreed by at least 75% of creditors, including landlords, suppliers and staff.
The struggling chain said there would be no changes to 347 hotels if the proposed changes went ahead, the majority of its 505-strong estate.
The British Property Federation gave a cautious welcome to the deal to save the UK's second biggest budget hotel chain, but expressed concern about CVAs.
Liz Peace, chief executive of the British Property Federation, said some landlords were being asked to "take a big hit" to keep a far bigger business afloat.
"We are becoming increasingly concerned with a system that creates such a range of winners and losers and allows advisers to dice and slice creditors to reach the required voting thresholds.
"Such rules need reviewing and some greater sense of fairness restored," she said.
Accountancy firm KPMG, which is running the CVA, said landlords would get about 23.4 pence in the pound back. If Travelodge had gone into administration, they would just have received 0.2p in the pound, it said.
"We are constantly seeking to improve and evolve our CVA structures, based on feedback from the landlord community," Brian Green, restructuring partner at KPMG said.
"Accordingly, we are again including a 'clawback' mechanism for landlords, so they can share in the turnaround of the restructured company's future, and landlords are also being offered the option of lease extensions."
Twenty-two people died and 116 were injured in a suicide bombing at the US singer's concert on 22 May.
The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund charity has raised over £11.7m, with £3m raised at the One Love Manchester concert staged by the singer at Old Trafford on 4 June.
"Ariana Grande exemplified Mancunian spirit," the chair of the charity said.
Councillor Sue Murphy added: "Her fundraising concert raised millions for the appeal and buoyed all our spirits.
"We are grateful to her for agreeing to be patron of this charity, which seeks to help everyone who was affected by the tragedy."
Gift payments from the appeal have already been released to the bereaved families and those who were in hospital for more than seven days following the attack.
Grande is also set to get honorary citizenship of Manchester under plans put forward by the city council.
Residents in Overdale Road, Old Basford, reported a number of shots being fired just after 15:00 BST on Tuesday.

The force added two women, aged 33 and 30, and a 32-year-old man who were previously arrested have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Elephant grass (Miscanthus) planted as a biomass crop is a valuable habitat for the brown hare, according to research.
A study suggests the grass can support hare populations when planted at the right scale.
Numbers of brown hares have declined in the UK over past decades, though they are still common in some areas.
Dr Silviu Petrovan of the conservation science group at the University of Cambridge carried out the research.
"What we strongly suspect is that these areas of Miscanthus are very good at replacing lost diversity in the farmland," he told BBC News.
"If you have a single block of Miscanthus with arable land and grassland fields in the vicinity (mixed farmland) it offers really high quality habitat for brown hares."
In the study, scientists from the University of Cambridge, University of Hull and The Open University radio-tracked brown hares in North Yorkshire across the seasons.
They discovered hares never fed on the grass, but they liked to sleep in it during the day, as they are nocturnal.
Even small areas of elephant grass of only 10 hectares could harbour animals.
But large swathes of Miscanthus were inhospitable, the scientists found.
Miscanthus is grown in many parts of the UK, particularly near power plants, where it is harvested and burned for fuel.
The grass requires little management and is not sprayed with herbicides.
Dr Phil Wheeler from the Open University, who led the research, said: "In some respects, although these biomass crops are alien to the UK, they mimic unfarmed or unintensively cultivated bits of farmland, many of which have been lost as farming has intensified.
"Our research suggests that for hares, diversifying farmland by planting biomass crops in small chunks might replace something of what has been lost."
But he said if biomass crops are only viable when planted over wide areas, they may end up as another challenge to farmland wildlife.
The research is funded by the wildlife charity, People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), and published in the European Journal of Wildlife Research.

Simon Thomas' comments follow fresh questions about the party's leadership.
Speaking at the National Eisteddfod on Anglesey, AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said he would consider succeeding Leanne Wood.
Another of the party's AMs, who did not want to be named, called for a leadership contest claiming Ms Wood had "lost authority in the group".
Speaking to BBC Wales' Newyddion 9 programme, Mr Thomas said he would like his party to "concentrate on the leadership question they do have, which isn't a question around one person as leader, but the question of 'are we performing as well as we could be as an assembly group?'"
"I don't think we are so we all have to raise our game," he said.
Mr Thomas, who represents Mid and West Wales, also said it was expected that questions around leadership arise between elections.
"That's not saying anything in favour or against any person, it's just obvious it's going to be part of the discussion," he said.
"If anyone thinks they could do a better job as leader than Leanne Wood, they should stand using the party's procedures rather than say things anonymously."
According to the Plaid Cymru constitution, the leader must face re-election every two years. This usually happens unopposed.
The next opportunity to stand against the current leader will be next year.
Nesta Thomas, from Caernarfon, fell and hit a metal barrier as she left her local Morrisons on 11 February 2016, the hearing in Caernarfon was told.
She refused an ambulance but died eight days later after it was found she had fractured a vertebrae in her spine.
A pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis caused by the fracture was given as the cause of death.
A conclusion of accidental death was recorded and Morrisons, who was not represented at the case, has since installed sliding doors.
Mrs Thomas' daughter Christine told the hearing the door gave her "a heck of a shove".
The day after the incident, Ms Thomas was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor complaining of back pain where it was discovered she had fractured a vertebrae in her spine.
However, she had been suffering a chest infection, which doctors thought was getting worse, so they decided to concentrate on treating that first.
Doctor Mark Lord, who conducted the post mortem examination, said he found no evidence of a chest infection.
But he did find fragments of a blood clot, which could have been mistaken for an infection.
He concluded she died of a pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis, caused by being immobile because of the fracture.
"If she hadn't been immobile, she would not have had the clots," he said.
Coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
A Morrisons spokesman said: "We were sad to hear about the passing of Mrs Thomas and our sympathies are with her family."
The Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft, which celebrates the village's creative heritage, is among the six nominees for this year's Art Fund Prize.
The other nominees include the Hayward Gallery on London's South Bank.
Norwich's Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the open-air Yorkshire Sculpture Park complete the shortlist.
The winning venue will receive £100,000 at a ceremony on 9 July.
Art Fund director Stephen Deuchar said UK museums had a "strong year" in 2013 and picking six nominees was "no easy task".
"It is almost as if imaginative and innovative curatorship, combined with the highest standards of presentation, is no longer the exception but the rule," he said.
The nominees are:
The award was launched in 2003 as the Gulbenkian Prize and became the Art Fund Prize in 2008. Last year's winner was the William Morris Gallery in north-east London.

We get the lowdown from BBC reporter Lizo.
There were minor clashes as his coffin was carried through Tunis, but the event was largely peaceful.
Sporadic protests and clashes have been reported all around Tunisia, and many workers are observing a general strike.
Unions say the Islamist-led government is to blame for the killing, an accusation it denies.
Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali has tried to defuse tensions by announcing he would form a non-partisan, technocratic government.
His governing Ennahda party has rejected this. But Mr Jebali on Friday told reporters he would go ahead with his plan, saying a technocratic government would not require the approval of the constituent assembly.
By Wyre DaviesBBC News, Tunis
An estimated one million people took to the streets of Tunis , not just to mourn the man who had become their unofficial spokesman but also to demonstrate the strength and resilience of Tunisian civil society.
This country has polarised since the revolution of 2011. Perhaps that should not be a surprise, as revolutionaries, having achieved their initial goal, subsequently discover they have sometimes radically different views on how their society should develop. Indeed, the drama being played out on the streets of Tunisia today is not dissimilar to that we've seen in recent weeks in Egypt.
The difference with Tunisia is that few people expected such post-revolutionary political violence and upheaval here. The country which led the way in the Arab Spring is in turmoil.
Things are not beyond salvation - a renewed promise by the government this evening to appoint an administration of apolitical technocrats could remove some of the suspicions about the intentions and aims of the current, Islamist-led coalition.
But with a stalled economy, tourists staying away and gangs taking advantage of a breakdown in law and order, nor is it impossible to see Tunisia sliding further into the abyss.
A million people on Friday made their voices heard. The ideological battle between liberal, secular Tunisians and ultraconservative Islamists is a battle for the future of the country.
Some 3,000 people initially gathered outside the building in the Djebel Jelloud suburb of Tunis where Mr Belaid's flower-covered coffin lay.
Crowds chanted slogans accusing the government of murdering Mr Belaid, 48.
"With our blood and our souls we will sacrifice ourselves for the martyr," the mourners shouted.
Thousands more people then joined the coffin as it was taken on a funeral procession toward the nearby cemetery of el-Jellaz.
Hundreds of riot police were deployed in Habib Bourguiba Avenue, the scene of earlier violence.
Police fired tear gas to break up youths attacking cars close to el-Jellaz cemetery, and also at protesters near the interior ministry.
Elsewhere in Tunis, many shops shut and most public transport was not running.
This is the first general strike in 35 years.
A number of flights to and from Tunis-Carthage airport have been cancelled.
Tunisian state television said universities had been ordered to suspend lectures on Saturday and Sunday, while France said it would close its schools in Tunis.
In the city of Sidi Bouzid, some 10,000 people also gathered to mourn Mr Belaid.
In the central town of Gafsa, tear gas was fired amid clashes between protesters and security forces, witnesses and local media said.
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Tunis says tension had been simmering for many months between liberal, secular Tunisians and the Islamist-led government.
He says people who thought the violence and division had ended as the Arab Spring swept through the country two years ago now find themselves protesting on the same streets, fighting with riot police and accusing the Islamist-led government of stealing their revolution.

Resurgence of revolt
Viewpoint: Tunisia's battleground
Critics say that Ennahda has allowed ultra-conservative Muslim groups to impose their will on a bastion of Arab secularism.
Mr Belaid was the victim of the first political assassination in Tunisia since the Arab Spring uprising in 2011.
Thousands of people later rallied outside the interior ministry in Tunis, many chanting slogans urging the government to stand down and calling for a new revolution.
In the centre of the capital, a police officer was killed during clashes between police and opposition supporters.
Also on Thursday, demonstrators observing a symbolic funeral for Mr Belaid outside the governor's office in Gafsa clashed with police.
One policeman was said to be in a coma on Friday after being dragged from his car and beaten in the town, the AFP news agency reported.
In Sfax, crowds ransacked a number of shops on Thursday.
Tunisian media reported that more than a dozen Ennahda offices across the country were attacked late on Thursday.
Earlier, four opposition groups - including Mr Belaid's Popular Front - announced that they were pulling out of the country's constituent assembly in protest.
Mr Belaid was a respected human rights lawyer and left-wing secular opponent of the government which took power after the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.
Current President Moncef Marzouki said the assassination should not affect Tunisia's revolution. He cut short a visit to France and cancelled a trip to Egypt to return home to deal with the crisis.
Ryan Craig, of Ashmount Gardens in Lisburn, admitted causing grievous bodily harm to Scott Vineer in 2012.
The 20-year-old will spend five years in prison with the remaining five years on supervised licence upon his release.
Mr Vineer was found with severe brain and head injuries near a disused warehouse in Lisburn after the attack.
His family were told at the time that he was unlikely to survive.
The judge at Craigavon Crown Court told Craig that Mr Vineer would "never be released from the imprisonment you subjected him to".
After the sentencing on Wednesday, Mr Vineer said: "I'm scared of what will happen when he gets out."
He added that he was "halfway between annoyed and relieved" with the sentence.
Craig was due to go on trial for attempted murder in June, but he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
Mr Vineer was 17 at the time of the attack and spent three months in a coma.
He returned home from hospital six months after the attack.
Mr Vineer's mother, Helen-Louise Doney, said that when she arrived at the hospital a doctor told her she should "be prepared to say our goodbyes".
She said she was disappointed that Craig did not get a 15-year sentence.
"He knew what he was doing, he knew it was wrong. He deliberately kept details away from anyone that could help Scott," Mrs Doney said.
"He should've been given the maximum, as far as we're concerned."
During sentencing, the judge said Mr Vineer has still has "significant, ongoing physical limitations" three years after the attack.
He added that while it had to be accepted that Craig did not inflict the "major injuries", he was a "willing participant" in the assault.
Craig had "clearly and deliberately involved himself" in the attack, the judge added.
Craig's barrister said his client was remorseful for what he had done.
But the judge said Craig's criminal behaviour since the assault, including a petrol bomb attack on police, would suggest otherwise.
Mr Vineer, who was best man at his mother and stepfather's wedding in August, said he is determined to live a normal life.
He said he plans to leave home in the coming years so that he can live independently.
Mae llawer o sylw wedi cael ei roi i'r ffeinal rhwng Juventus a Real Madrid tra bod proffil y tîm cenedlaethol wedi cynyddu wedi pencampwriaeth Euro 2016.
Un digwyddiad pwysig arall yn y byd pêl-droed yng Nghymru eleni yw pen-blwydd Uwch Gynghrair Cymru yn 25 oed.
Yn 1992, daeth Cynghrair Cymru fel yr oedd hi i fodolaeth dan arweiniad cyn-ysgrifennydd Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru (CBDC), y diweddar Alun Evans.
Ar y pryd roedd statws Cymru fel gwlad annibynnol dan oruchwyliaeth FIFA dan fygythiad, gan fod y prif glybiau yng Nghymru yn chwarae pêl-droed yn Lloegr.
Felly beth sydd wedi newid dros y chwarter canrif?
Un peth amlwg sydd wedi aros yn debyg yw maint y torfeydd sy'n dod i wylio'r gemau. Yn 1992 roedd cyfartaledd torf mewn gêm yn 236 i gymharu gyda 306 y tymor diwethaf.
Mae ysgrifennydd presennol Uwch Gynghrair Cymru yn teimlo bod "safon y gemau ddim yn denu'r dorf maen nhw yn ei haeddu".
"Heb os, mae safon y chwarae a chyflwr y meysydd wedi gwella yn y 25 mlynedd," meddai Gwyn Derfel.
"Mae'r gynghrair yn llawer mwy proffesiynol ac mae 'na werth masnachol i'r gynghrair bellach".
Dywedodd bod hyn yn rhannol oherwydd cyflwyno trwydded ddomestig CBDC yn 2005-06, sy'n rhestru meini prawf llym sy'n rhaid i glwb eu cyrraedd os ydyn nhw am gystadlu yn yr Uwch Gynghrair.
Dim ond pedwar o'r timau wnaeth sefydlu'r gynghrair sy'n dal i gystadlu ynddi heddiw - Bangor, Y Drenewydd, Cei Connah ac Aberystwyth.
Mae'r gweddill naill ai wedi diflannu neu'n chwarae yng nghynghreiriau is y pyramid pêl-droed - yn eu plith mae Cwmbrân, enillwyr cyntaf y gynghrair, sydd bellach yng nghynghrair lleol Sir Fynwy.
Cafodd nifer y timau yn y gynghrair ei gwtogi o 20 i 12 yn 2010, gyda'r bwriad o geisio gwella safon y gystadleuaeth.
Yn ôl Mr Derfel mae'r newid wedi gweithio, ond ychwanegodd bod "63% o bobl a holwyd mewn holiadur yn dweud bod elfen o fod yn or-gyfarwydd â'r timau".
Un sydd wedi bod ynghlwm â'r gynghrair fel rheolwr a gwyliwr yw Glyn Griffiths.
Roedd yn rheolwr ar Dreffynnon rhwng 1992 a 1997, ac fe lwyddodd i gadw'r clwb yn yr Uwch Gynghrair tan 1996.
"Dwi ddim yn credu bod gwell chwaraewyr yn chwarae yn y gynghrair heddiw ond bod perfformiadau'r timau yn well i beth oedd 'na nôl yn y 90au," meddai.
Dywedodd bod yr honiad bod torfeydd yn fach gan fod dim digon o chwaraewyr lleol yn chwarae yn y timau yn ei "wylltio".
"Mi ddweda' i hyn, os ydy chwaraewr lleol ddigon da i chwarae i'w dîm yna digon teg", meddai.
"Mae hon yn gynghrair genedlaethol a phrif gynghrair Cymru. Dim cynghrair leol ydy hi. Mae rhaid denu'r chwaraewyr gorau i gystadlu yn y gynghrair."
Ychwanegodd mai'r ffordd i glybiau ddenu mwy o sylw ydy drwy "wneud mwy o ymdrech yn lleol i farchnata ac i werthu syniad eu clwb".
"Mae ddigon hawdd sefydlu academies i'r chwaraewyr gorau, ond beth am y chwaraewyr ifanc lleol hynny sydd ddim digon da i chwarae i'r academies?
"Mae rhaid cofio am y rheiny a pheidio eu 'sgubo i'r ochr... Mewn degawdau i ddod mi fydd presenoldeb y bobl ifanc hynny yn y dorf yn cefnogi'r tîm yn llawn mor bwysig", meddai.
Ers ei sefydlu mae 39 o glybiau wedi cystadlu yn y gynghrair.
Un clwb fydd nôl yn Uwch Gynghrair Cymru tymor nesaf fydd Y Barri, wnaeth ennill y gystadleuaeth ar saith achlysur hyd at 2003, cyn iddyn nhw wynebu problemau ariannol.
Mae eu cadeirydd, Eric Thomas, wedi bod yn cadw llygaid ar y gynghrair o'r tu allan.
"Mae nifer o glybiau'r de yn hapus i chwarae un safon o dan yr Uwch Gynghrair, ond nid y Barri," meddai.
"Dwi wedi bod yn cadw llygaid ar y gynghrair ers blynyddoedd ac wedi gweld ei datblygiad hi yn y blynyddoedd diweddar.
"Mae'n deimlad anhygoel bod 'nôl... Roedden ni fel pwyllgor wedi gosod cynllun pum mlynedd i sicrhau dyrchafiad, mi oedden ni'n agos y llynedd ac wedi llwyddo eleni, blwyddyn ynghynt na'r disgwyl".
Uchelgais Y Barri yw cystadlu unwaith eto ar lefel Ewropeaidd, a chyn hir fe fydd y clybiau sydd wedi cyrraedd yn lefel honno yn darganfod pwy fydd eu gwrthwynebwyr ar y cyfandir.
Ond fe fydd rhaid i'r Seintiau Newydd chwarae yng Nghynghrair y Pencampwyr heb eu rheolwr Craig Harrison, sydd wedi gadael i gymryd yr awenau yn Hartlepool. Y Bala, Cei Connah a Bangor fydd yn cynrychioli Cymru yng Nghynghrair Europa.
Mae Gwyn Derfel yn ffyddiog bydd un o'r clybiau yn mynd gam ymhellach eleni yn Ewrop.
"Mae perfformiadau clybiau Cymru ar y llwyfan Ewropeaidd yn gwella.
"Ein prif her fel cynghrair at y dyfodol yw cael mwy o sylw drwyddi draw yn y cyfryngau torfol, wnaiff gynorthwyo i gynyddu'r torfeydd.
"Dwi'n falch o ddweud hefyd bod ein cytundeb gyda S4C i ddarlledu 29 o gemau byw drwy'r tymor yn parhau, sydd eto yn hwb i'r clybiau gan eu bod nhw'n gallu manteisio o'r arian darlledu er mwyn datblygu.
"Er bod un tymor wedi dod i ben gyda rownd derfynol yng Nghaerdydd, dydy gwaith ysgrifennydd cynghrair debyg i hon byth yn stopio, a dwi'n edrych ymlaen at y tymor nesa' yn barod".
Burhan Wani, 22, who was well-known due to his prominence on social media, died in a gunfight with the Indian army on Friday.
Thousands attended his funeral on Saturday.
Divided Kashmir has been a flashpoint for India and Pakistan, triggering three wars between the nations.
Both claim the region in its entirety. A number of militant groups in Muslim-majority Indian-administered Kashmir are fighting for independence or a merger with Pakistan.
The funeral of Burhan Wani, a commander of the region's largest rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen, was held in his hometown of Tral, about 40km (25 miles) south of Srinagar, on Saturday.
The Indian government said no police or security personnel were present at his funeral, to avoid a confrontation with the angry crowd.
A curfew has been imposed, with internet and mobile phone services blocked in some areas.
However, after the funeral, police stations and military installations were attacked in violent clashes across the region.
A policeman reportedly died after protesters pushed his armoured vehicle into a river in the southern Anantnag area.
Thousands of government forces in riot gear have been deployed across the state.
The BBC's South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, says this is the worst violence in the region for some years and the fear is that if it is not brought under control soon, many more people could be killed and injured.
The level of separatist insurgency violence has ebbed and flowed since 1989, but it has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people, mainly civilians.
The incident in Watts Park was reported to police by passers-by who filmed a man removing the wreaths from the steps of the war memorial.
The footage shows a man kicking the floral tributes before then throwing them at about 15:30 GMT on Friday.
Police said a 29-year-old man from the city was arrested earlier on suspicion of criminal damage.
One factory has "reduced employee strength from 110,000 to 50,000 thanks to the introduction of robots", a government official told the South China Morning Post.
Xu Yulian, head of publicity for the Kunshan region, added: "More companies are likely to follow suit."
China is investing heavily in a robot workforce.
In a statement to the BBC, Foxconn Technology Group confirmed that it was automating "many of the manufacturing tasks associated with our operations" but denied that it meant long-term job losses.
"We are applying robotics engineering and other innovative manufacturing technologies to replace repetitive tasks previously done by employees, and through training, also enable our employees to focus on higher value-added elements in the manufacturing process, such as research and development, process control and quality control.
"We will continue to harness automation and manpower in our manufacturing operations, and we expect to maintain our significant workforce in China."
Since September 2014, 505 factories across Dongguan, in the Guangdong province, have invested 4.2bn yuan (£430m) in robots, aiming to replace thousands of workers.
Kunshan, Jiangsu province, is a manufacturing hub for the electronics industry.
Economists have issued dire warnings about how automation will affect the job market, with one report, from consultants Deloitte in partnership with Oxford University, suggesting that 35% of jobs were at risk over the next 20 years.
Former McDonald's chief executive Ed Rensi recently told the US's Fox Business programme a minimum-wage increase to $15 an hour would make companies consider robot workers.
"It's cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who is inefficient, making $15 an hour bagging French fries," he said.
They are Syria, and the Central American nation of Nicaragua - but the US is very different from either.
Syria has been embroiled in a civil war for six years, leaving 300,000 dead, so it is perhaps understandable that it did not participate in talks.
Nicaragua's reason for refusing the deal, though, is not because it wanted to burn more fossil fuels, but because the agreement did not go far enough.
The country already gets more than half of its energy from renewable resources, and plans to bump that up to 90% by 2020.
A 2013 World Bank report labelled it "a renewable energy paradise", with extensive opportunity for geothermic, wind, solar and wave energy.
When the Paris deal was being negotiated, Nicaragua said there was a total mismatch between what the document said was needed to protect the climate, and what signatories proposed to do about it.
The goal of the Paris agreement is to restrict temperature increases by 2100 to a maximum of two degrees Celsius more than before the global industrial age - and aim for 1.5C if possible.
But Paul Oquist, negotiating for Nicaragua in 2015, said he had reservations about the level of commitment made by individual countries in their pledges.
They would not restrict average temperature rises to 2C, let alone 1.5C, he said - and much more action is required.
"These voluntary commitments don't work," Mr Oquist told Democracy Now after the negotiations.
"Right now we're looking at a three-degree world, and that is catastrophic and unacceptable."
That is in sharp contrast to Donald Trump's speech announcing he was pulling out of the agreement - in which he said the Paris agreement was a deal that aimed to hobble, disadvantage and impoverish the US, to the benefit of other nations.
Not so, Mr Oquist argued at the Paris summit - developing nations are being held equally accountable for climate change - something he argued was unfair.
Historically, the US, Europe, and more recently China account for almost half of the world's carbon emissions.
The US outputs some 5.2 million kilotons of carbon dioxide every year. Nicaragua, by contrast, generated about 4,569.
EU negotiator Michel Barnier said the UK did not feel "legally obliged to honour its obligations" after Brexit.
He said "no decisive progress" had been made on key issues, following the third round of talks.
But Brexit Secretary David Davis said the UK had a "duty to our taxpayers" to "rigorously" examine the EU's demands.
And he urged the EU to be "more imaginative and flexible" in its approach.
During a joint press conference, Mr Barnier acknowledged there had been some "fruitful" discussions on the issues surrounding the relationship between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, but he struck a pessimistic tone overall.
He stressed that he was "impatient… I am not angry… I am impatient and determined" about the progress of negotiations, adding that "time is flying" and the EU was willing to intensify the "rhythm" of talks.
Behind their polished podium performances, it's clear there are major gaps between the stance of Michel Barnier and David Davis which are not being bridged.
Money is the big sticking point of course, although the phraseology around the issue is a little more elegant than that, and the language at these moments can give you a real feel for the underlying atmosphere.
Mr Barnier says that after this week "it's clear that the UK doesn't feel legally obliged to honour its obligations".
Mr Davis claims it's natural that the UK would want to "interrogate rigorously" any demand placed on its taxpayers. But he is also careful to note that Britain is a country that meets its obligations - moral as well as legal; it just expects them to be properly specified.

The UK wants to begin trade talks as soon as possible, but Brussels insists that discussions about the future relationship after Brexit can only begin once "sufficient progress" has been made on the arrangements for withdrawal - including on the so-called "divorce fee".
Mr Barnier said that at the current rate of progress, he was quite far from being able to recommend opening parallel talks on a future trade relationship with the UK.
He cited two areas where "trust" needed to be built between the two sides - on citizens' rights and the financial settlement, stressing that 27 members of the bloc should not have to pay for obligations taken by 28.
Claiming there had been a shift in the UK government's approach, he said: "In July the UK recognised that it has obligations beyond the Brexit date but this week the UK explained that these obligations will be limited to the last payment to the EU project before departure."
No figure has yet been put on the payment, but European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker has suggested it could come in at around 60 billion euro (£55bn), while unconfirmed reports have put it as high as 100 billion euro (£92bn).
Mr Davis defended the "rigorous" line-by-line examination of the EU's demands carried out by British officials in response to the "unspecified but undoubtedly large" sum demanded by Brussels.
He added: "It will, of course, lead to difficult exchanges - nobody will pretend it was anything but a tough exchange this week - but I think the British taxpayer would expect nothing less."
Mr Davis also told reporters the talks had exposed how the UK approach was "substantially more flexible and pragmatic than that of the EU".
"This week we have had long and detailed discussions across multiple areas and I think it's fair to say we have seen some concrete progress, and Michel referred to one but there's more than that," he said.
"However, as I said at the start of the week, it's only through flexibility and imagination that we will achieve a deal that works truly for both sides.
"In some areas we have found this from the [European] Commission's side, which I welcome, but there remains some way to go."
He added: "Beyond the debates about process and technicalities, at the heart of this process, must be a desire to deliver the best outcome for the people and the businesses of the European Union and the United Kingdom," he added - particularly on citizens' rights.
In the fourth successive 0-0 draw between these two sides, North End went closest to a goal when Calum Woods volleyed against the bar.
But Brighton twice had the ball in the home net, each time denied for offside.
Brighton stay fourth, four points off top spot, while Preston remain 10th, six points shy of a play-off place.

Chris Hughton's Seagulls have only lost two of their 18 Championship away games this season, of which they have now drawn 11.
Preston maintained their record of never having lost a home game to Brighton in 15 visits by the Seagulls to Deepdale.
Jamie Murphy was the first to be denied by the linesman's flag in first-half injury time from Dale Stephens' free-kick - and the same happened to Tomer Hemed after home keeper Chris Kirkland had spilt Murphy's low drive.
Apart form that, Woods' left-foot angled volley, which bounced down off the bar, and Sam Baldock's right-foot shot just wide at the other end were the closest either side came until Preston's Murphy glanced a late near-post header just wide.
The previous three meetings between these two sides - the October meeting at the Amex and both games in the 2005-6 season - also ended 0-0.
The last player to score in this fixture was David Nugent, who got North End's third goal in a 3-0 Championship win in April 2005.
Preston boss Simon Grayson: "They are a very strong team but off the ball we did very well. The shape was very good and defensively we limited them to few opportunities.
"Second half I thought we were the better team, so I'm disappointed we haven't won it, but two clean sheets against Brighton is a big ask from the players.
"We've got a number of games left now and we'll just keep approaching it as we have over the last few weeks. We want the players to go out and express themselves."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "We had a couple of good chances and so did they. On the balance of play I thought we threatened but we didn't retain possession well enough in the areas we needed to.
"They worked very hard and restricted the quality balls we were able to put in. Away from home if you can't play as well as you'd like you've got to make sure not to lose the game.
"Defensively, we were solid again. As a back four we had a fair bit to deal with.
"The only disappointment is that we didn't keep possession well enough and if you don't do that then you make life harder for yourself."
Overall crime fell by 4.7%, although an increase was reported in sexual offences and domestic abuse.
The police claimed this was partly because of a new approach to tackling these offences, which has encouraged more victims to come forward.
Recorded crimes of violence, dishonesty and anti-social behaviour were all down.
The figures cover the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015.
Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said: "Our focus is on keeping people safe. From the most violent crime which happens less frequently, to higher volume crime such as housebreaking and incidents of disorder and anti-social behaviour which impact on community well-being, Police Scotland is committed to both the prevention and detection of crime.
"Public confidence and user satisfaction in the service remains high, which is welcome, given the way policing has evolved over the past two years since the introduction of a single service.
"We are making significant in-roads in the disruption of serious organised crime in Scotland, through a different style of approach built upon collaboration and smarter working."
The figures recorded a 6% reduction in crimes of violence. The overall detection rate was 84%.
That included 55 murders recorded during the period covered by the report. Police Scotland also cleared up a number of historical cases, making the official detection rate for murder 109.1%.
There was an increase of 1.8% in domestic abuse incidents, to a total of 59,471.
There was a 9.3% increase in recorded sexual crime. There were 1,797 rapes recorded in the course of the year.
Mr Livingstone added: "Through the introduction of Major Investigation Teams, Rape and Domestic Abuse Taskforces and divisional investigation units, we have seen national specialist support being provided to local policing teams to ensure our response is as effective and responsive as possible."
The police figures indicated a small increase in the number fatalities on the roads. Two more people - a total of 192 - were killed.
The number of those seriously injured in traffic accidents fell by 5%.
More pupils than ever have achieved the literacy and maths scores needed for secondary school, according to figures from the Department for Education
Four out of five pupils got good grades in all the tests, says the DfE.
However, Schools Minister Nick Gibb said schools in some council areas had performed poorly.
The results of this year's tests, taken in May by all 11-year-old state school pupils, show a one percentage point rise in those meeting the standard in mathematics (to 87%) and two percentage points in writing (to 87%).
There was a four percentage point rise in scores in the grammar, punctuation and spelling test (to 80%), while attainment in reading was unchanged on the year before, with 89% meeting the expected standard.
The government says 80% of pupils achieved the required "Level Four" standard or above in all subjects, compared with 78% in 2014 and 62% in 2009.
But Mr Gibb said schools in some local authority areas were still not doing well enough.
He announced a "crack-down" on councils, including Medway, Poole, Luton, Doncaster and Bedford, whose schools had performed poorly.
In these areas 73% of pupils achieved the required standard in all subjects, compared with in Kensington and Chelsea, the strongest performing area, where 90% of pupils met the grade.
Mr Gibb said the government was "committed to driving up standards as a matter of social justice".
"That is why I will be writing to the director of children's services and directors of education of councils that are bottom of the league tables and asking that they meet me as a matter of urgency to explain how they intend to improve the teaching of reading and arithmetic in the primary schools under their control," he said.
Overall, Mr Gibb said, he was "delighted that 90,000 more children are starting secondary school with a firm grasp of the basics compared to just five years ago".
In particular he highlighted improvements in sponsored primary academies, which have taken over some of the most seriously underperforming schools.
Sponsored academies that had been open a year saw a rise of five percentage points (to 71%) over the schools they replaced, the statistics suggest.
"These results vindicate our decision to expand the valuable academies programme into primary schools with thousands of children on course to receive a better education," he said.
"Our reform programme is driven by social justice, and we will continue to raise the bar so young people are prepared to succeed in modern Britain."
This year, some 580,000 primary pupils took the tests, but this is the last year these tests will be used.
From next summer, pupils will be assessed on a "tough" new national curriculum, which came into effect in September 2014, and will be given a scaled score where 100 will represent the expected standard.
Wada's independent commission examined allegations of doping, cover-ups, and extortion in Russian athletics, which also implicated the IAAF, the sport's world governing body.
It says London 2012 was "sabotaged" by "widespread inaction" against athletes with suspicious doping profiles.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Russia was also accused of running a "state-supported" doping programme.
The report recommended that five athletes and five coaches should be given lifetime doping bans.
IAAF president Lord Coe told the BBC that the Russian athletics federation, Araf, had been asked to respond to the allegations by the end of the week. The 59-year-old said that after reviewing the feedback the IAAF "would look at a range of options, including sanctions", which could result in suspension from the sport.
"I'm not putting in a time frame but I will do whatever is necessary. This is not a swift road back," he added.
The commission's chairman, Dick Pound, who led a Wada news conference on Monday, also recommended that the Russian federation is banned from next year's Olympics.
"One of our hopes is they will volunteer to take the remedial work," he said. "If they don't the outcome may be no Russian track and field athletes in Rio. I hope they recognise it is time to change."

Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko told Interfax news agency that recommendations made on the basis of the report would be fulfilled, while the acting head of Araf Vadim Zelechenok said it was not for Wada to call for suspensions.
He also told the R-Sport TV station: "Any suspension should be discussed at the meeting of the IAAF in November. It should be proven that any violations were the fault of the federation and not individual sports people. We should be given a chance to clear our names."
The international police body Interpol says it will be co-ordinating a global investigation into the suspected corruption and doping.
The report's co-author, sports lawyer Richard McLaren, believes it shows "a different scale of corruption", even compared with football's ongoing Fifa scandal, saying actual results at international athletics competitions had been changed because of cheating.
The report also:
The report was commissioned on a "very narrow mandate" to "determine the accuracy" of allegations made in a German TV documentary about Russian athletics last December.
It claimed Russian athletes paid 5% of their earnings to domestic doping officials to supply banned substances and cover-up tests, while athletics' world governing body the IAAF was implicated in covering up the abuse.
The programme's claims of widespread doping were made by former Russian Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada) official Vitaly Stepanov and his wife Yulia (nee Rusanova), formerly an 800m runner who was banned for doping.
It included testimony from Russian athletes admitting to using banned substances and evidence of doping and corruption.
Separate doping claims were made in August when The Sunday Times and a German broadcaster claimed that leaked blood tests from 5,000 athletes over 11 years showed an "extraordinary extent of cheating". The IAAF said the allegations were "sensationalist and infuriating" and the commission's remit was widened to include them. It will report back on those claims later in the year, Pound said.
IAAF chief Lord Coe said the sport's governing body would wait for Russia's response before deciding whether to punish the country's federation.
"It is the right thing to do to get them to give us an answer," he told the BBC.
"I am responsible for the conduct of my sport and I want answers from the Russian athletics federation. I am tough enough to defend my sport but the point I would emphasise is this is not just limited to athletics or Russia.
"We clearly have to understand full scope of allegations. We will look at ourselves. We will move quickly on this. I want to see a sport which is transparent and accountable and I will do what I can to do that. It will not be a swift road."

The plane began the stage on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio, travelling 1,044km to reach the East Coast waypoint.
The journey is the 13th leg in a quest that started in Abu Dhabi last year to circumnavigate the globe on zero fuel.
Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard was in the pilot's seat of the 72m-wingspan, electric plane.
The aircraft took off from Dayton International Airport at 04:02 local time (08:02 GMT). It landed in Lehigh Valley at 20:49 local time (00:49 GMT, Thursday).
The achievement positions the project to make its entry into New York in the coming days.
The "Big Apple" is set to be the base for Solar Impulse as it waits for a weather window to fly the Atlantic.
Deciding when to cross the ocean will be a tricky decision. The slow-moving, ultra-light plane needs benign winds, and the team concedes that the right conditions may not present themselves for several weeks.
Wednesday's flight to Lehigh Valley was postponed for 24 hours for checks on the aircraft following a power problem in its mobile hangar.
The air fans that hold up the inflatable structure briefly failed on Tuesday, allowing the canvas to collapse and touch the plane's fuselage and the wings.
Once engineers had concluded that Solar Impulse had not been affected in any way, they cleared the mission to resume.
The hop to New York will likely occur next week, after the Memorial Day weekend.
Although it is a short distance from Lehigh Valley to John F Kennedy Airport, the time taken to complete the leg will be extended by two factors.
One is the desire to fly around the Statue of Liberty to take some pictures; the other will be the wait for air traffic controllers to find a landing slot at one of the busiest airports in the world.
"It's going to be a long flight - more than 26 hours. But it's going to be extraordinary because it will be so symbolic to be at [the Statue of Liberty]," said Andre Borschberg, who will pilot the stage.
"I was just visiting the Wright Brothers museum here in Dayton, and one of the flights he did - I think it was Orville - was the first airplane flight over the Statue of Liberty. He didn't have to deal with co-ordinating the traffic because he knew there was nobody else, no other airplane flying at the time!"
The project has made excellent progress since renewing its global challenge a month ago in Hawaii.
From Kalaeloa in the central Pacific, it flew to Mountain View, California; and from there it reached across to Phoenix, Arizona, then to Tulsa, Oklahoma, before landing in Dayton on Saturday.
In 2015, Solar Impulse flew eight stages from Abu Dhabi to Kalaeloa, including a remarkable 4-day, 21-hour leg over the western Pacific - the longest (time duration) flight in aviation history.
It was damage to its batteries on that stage, however, that forced Solar Impulse to lay up for 10 months, for repairs and to wait for optimum daylight length in the northern hemisphere to return.

Unfortunately we won't be seeing the pair on our TV screens, but they are reuniting for three audio episodes.
Part of Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures - Volume 2, the episodes will be released in November.
Exec producer Jason Haigh-Ellery said: "Getting David and Billie back together was definitely on my bucket list."
Tennant, who portrayed the Doctor on screen from 2005 until 2009, returned in the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor, with Matt Smith and Sir John Hurt in 2013.
He also worked on Volume 1 of the audio dramas with Catherine Tate last year, but this is Piper's debut for Big Finish's audio books.
Piper portrayed Rose in 2005 and 2006, returning for a number of stories in 2008. She also appeared in The Day of the Doctor.
The first new audio episode will be Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney, in which an alien invasion of Earth isn't quite what it appears to be.
In the second adventure, Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adams, the Doctor and Rose arrive in Slough in 1791 and encounter Chevalier D'Eon, an enigmatic ex-spy who has lived his life as a woman.
Finally, in Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton, the Tardis arrives on a vast frozen food asteroid in deep space. The episode sees the return of the Doctor's old enemies, the Ice Warriors.
Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Daleks for both TV and for the audio dramas, said: "It was such a special time for me, working with Billie and David on the TV show and it is such an honour to revisit it with them on audio."
In other Doctor Who news, Michelle Gomez has revealed that she's leaving the Doctor Who TV series.
Gomez has played villain Missy since 2014 and said she is leaving because the show's star Peter Capaldi and head writer Steven Moffat are going at Christmas.
"My pals are going so I'm going," Gomez told RadioTimes.com. "Everybody's leaving, so I'm going too. I mean, what would I do without Peter and Steven? Who would I be?
"Nah, it's done now. It's over. It's the end of a chapter."

Azarenka, 27, who plays Britain's Heather Watson in round three on Friday, has been speaking this week about the challenges of juggling a professional tennis career with motherhood.
Kim Clijsters, who won the 2009 US Open 18 months after the arrival of daughter Jada, is one of only three women to have won Grand Slam titles after becoming a mother.
"For a first-time mum, travelling on the road full-time is hard - but I am very glad I did it," Clijsters told BBC Sport.
"It was a big adventure for us as a family and I would not have changed anything."
There has been plenty of baby-talk at SW19, with Luxembourg player Mandy Minella competing while four and a half months pregnant and seven-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams absent because she is expecting.
Like Azarenka, Williams intends to return to the Tour after giving birth - but what will change for her?
From sleeping babies in walk-in wardrobes to emptying the mini-bar, Clijsters tells BBC Sport what it is like to be a tennis mum.
Azarenka is playing only her second tournament since Leo was born in December. She is bidding to emulate Clijsters, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong by winning a Grand Slam title as a mother - Goolagong, who won at SW19 in 1980, is the only mother to have won a Wimbledon singles title in the tournament's 140-year history.
Clijsters: "My mum cooked every day for us when I was young. She was there all the time and that was the vision I had for Jada too.
"I had to adjust, of course, because at home I was changing nappies and preparing food myself as soon as she woke up, but I still felt like we had it all organised when we went on the road.
"My husband Brian was always there and we also travelled with a nanny who took care of Jada. It meant Brian and I had our own time as well and could even go out to dinner occasionally. That was important.
"We just tried to balance things like that and have the same routine, and it worked really well for her, and for us.
"As a player, you don't normally have much order to your life but I wanted to structure things for Jada. I didn't want different people to be taking care of her at different tournaments.
"It was the same with food, although she eats almost everything. We travelled the world with a portable steamer-blender and I must know every organic store near all of the tournaments I played at.
"That was the first thing we did - we would ask for a fridge to be added to our hotel room or we would empty the mini-bar out so we could stock up on vegetables and fish, or whatever she had to eat.
"Jada was potty-trained in a hotel room too. All the little things like that happened while we were travelling the world.
"She is nine now and will adjust to anything, and I think that is something to do what she was doing at such a young age.
Clijsters took daughter Jada for a walk in her buggy in New York's Central Park on the morning of the 2009 US Open final - she beat Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki on Arthur Ashe Stadium later that day, and successfully defended her title the following year.
Clijsters: "With Jada, it was so hectic in the beginning for us with the media at tournaments that I just tried to keep her away from it.
"When I won the US Open in 2009, she hardly ever came out to Flushing Meadows. She came for the final and was able to sit in one of the boxes upstairs, and that was it.
"That day I had delayed her nap time a little bit, so she was able to stay up a bit later for the final.
"Sometimes things happen and you just have to juggle your routine. I have three children now and it is still the same. There are always different challenges but that is the great thing about being a mum.
"For me I love that everything is not perfect. When we lie in bed or sit on the couch, my husband and I can talk and laugh sometimes and say 'what happened today? It was chaos all over'.
"It was the same on the tour too. Sometimes we would stay in hotels and would not know how the rooms would be divided - we would ask for an extra room, but it would be on a different floor.
"We did not just throw money at the problem because that was not the way I was brought up - we tried to figure it out ourselves. Sometimes Jada even slept in a walk-in closet because there was nowhere else for her.
"She was a pretty good sleeper, which really helped around my matches.
"The one thing I was worried about was her getting sick because it is easy to deal with that at home but if you are in, say, Thailand I would not know where to go or who to ask.
"But it all went pretty smoothly in the end. She needed some medication from time to time but we have doctors and physios with us on tour so in that sense we were lucky because we had some of the best medical staff and facilities around."
Clijsters now has three children - Jada, nine, three-year-old Jack and Blake, who is eight months old.
Clijsters: "My husband would be there to watch my matches but if I had to practise, it would just be with my coach and trainer.
"Brian would do something with Jada so their bond is very strong because they have been together so much - it is the same as I had with my father, and I love seeing it with them too.
"But sometimes, as a mother, I felt guilty for leaving Jada behind and me going off to tennis.
"I know I was lucky because I was probably still seeing more of her than most mums but I also wanted to spend time with her wherever we were.
"I remember when she went to the zoo and held a koala bear before the Australian Open. There were a lot of times like that, when I wanted to be a part of it.
"So it was hard but I still wanted to keep my tennis separate. It was my work, and then her free time was different.
"Then I could come back to the hotel room to come back to her, and leave my working life behind.
"It was hard sometimes but you make it work. I spoke to Victoria on the Wimbledon practice courts this week and we talked about what we did when we didn't have kids on tour.
"What do you do? You just lay around - you rest in your bed, you read a book or you watch a movie, or you catch some tennis on TV.
"That it is so useless - life now is far more meaningful.
"I don't want to sound disrespectful to the sport but becoming a parent gives you a totally different perspective and, at the end of the day, nobody cares about whatever you did in sport.
"It is your family and kids that are important - and bringing them up the right way. No trophy even comes close."
Clijsters, 34, retired in 2012 and now runs a tennis academy in her hometown of Bree in Belgium. She is working as a co-commentator for BBC Sport at Wimbledon 2017 and also working with Belgian player Yanina Wickmayer, who lost in round two on Thursday.
Clijsters: "I love being here but I cannot watch this much tennis when I am in Belgium. I have a tennis school, and I am busy with the kids.
"My husband is American so I have to deal with all the school stuff because it is in Flemish and he can't help. When I was in Paris for the French Open I noticed there was some slacking off in Jada's homework - it was down to me to put that right!
"Brian coaches basketball and his season has just finished so he is not around that much, so everything from when we wake up until about 8.30pm when the boys go to sleep falls on me.
"That is fine because it is very satisfying knowing that everything went well. It is draining but when they are in bed I am like 'aaah, done - now I have to clean the kitchen'."
Do Labour activists agree with him that overall numbers are not a problem?
Steve Triner, Croydon
Net migration is probably too high but that should not distract from the bigger issue of under-investment. I suspect this is a pretty common view.
I think immigration is too high in relation to the investment in public services but whether it is too high out of context is more difficult to answer.
I don't think there is a huge benefit to huge numbers of relatively unskilled people coming into the country. It must have some impact on wages and there are issues of community cohesion.
But it is wrong to blame issues around the health service and education on migrants.
Migrants pay more into the system in tax than they take out in public services.
Adam Higgins, Swansea
We obviously have to recognise there is dissatisfaction with the amount of immigration in the UK.
I don't have anything against current levels personally, but we do have to understand the electorate as a whole do seem to have concerns which do need to be recognised.
It is good policy to find extra funds for communities that are under stress because of immigration, but whether or not Jeremy Corbyn can communicate that effectively while then saying he is happy with the current levels - will the public believe that?
People will hear he is happy with things as they are now and they may not hear about the extra funding.
We know left-wing parties tend to be pro-immigration in their stance but they do have to win votes from the wider electorate. With Brexit we have seen a shift in attitudes or an appearance in the shift of attitudes. They have always been there to be honest.
Rachel Mullen, Gateshead
I would not necessarily agree levels are too high, they just need to be managed more effectively and in the right way.
You can't discriminate against people from different parts of the world because that is not equitable and would pit different groups against each other.
You have to remember the economic benefits migrants bring. The NHS would collapse, for a start, if you didn't have the migration we have. It is important we are continuing to welcome people from different parts of the world because they bring different skills and contribute to society in different ways.
Brexit has brought the worst out of a small minority of people. It is only a small minority of people who wanted to break free from Europe on the basis of immigration - not on the basis of other factors such as the amount of money we pay to the EU.
The press picked up on that hard line and that is what has stolen the limelight from other factors round Brexit - for instance what it will mean for jobs, particularly around the north-south divide.
Andy Dams, Sefton
The issue of immigration has always been about what kind of country we are. Britain has always been a country that has welcomed the lost, estranged and battle-hardened from lots of other countries.
I think frequently immigration is used as a cover for various kinds of discrimination and prejudice. If you accept that as your starting point, you then start to look at whatever is unsustainable in our communities by what anyone might define as too much immigration.
If our communities are not sustainable because of some directly-related link to a burden of incomers, I don't think we have any choice to look at that - but I don't think we have the evidence that is happening.
In the post-Brexit world, we are faced with the new reality that a central part of that vote was about immigration and Labour has to grapple with that reality.
You can do that by pulling up the drawbridge or by recognising the contribution incomers have made to our society, economy and culture and reaching out to the fearful and making them feel less fearful.
Robert Parker, Ashford
Many migrants are excellent trades people who bring excellent skills and quality service delivery to the construction sector in the UK, which has regrettably suffered from a lack of investment in apprentices.
It is good to hear Jeremy talking about investing in young people and the construction industry.
If you were to take foreign nationals out of the health service and public services in general, it would have an adverse effect - it would be a similar effect in the construction sector if the massive amount of Eastern European workers were to leave that sector because they bring excellent skills.
However, off the pitch a six-strong line-up - namely the half-a-dozen major global brands who are Fifa's top commercial partners - will also be hoping to grab some good results.
For football's governing body Fifa it is already a winning situation on the sponsorship front, where revenues are estimated to be up by 80% on the 2006 tournament in Germany.
That estimated $1bn (£700m) in sponsorship revenues should more than make up for the drop in corporate hospitality sales at the South Africa World Cup.
This year's event, the first ever in Africa, has seen the previous top 15 sponsors trimmed down to six premier commercial Fifa "partners", with a second tier of eight "sponsors", and a third rung of five local firms.
"After the 2006 World Cup, there was criticism of the structure, with 15 main sponsors all jostling for position to put themselves ahead of the other 14," says Nigel Currie, director of sports sponsorship and marketing agency Brand Rapport.
"Since then, Fifa has identified the six main sponsorship categories it wanted to push, as it created a limited number of elite partners."
Mr Currie says that, on average, each of the top partners now pays £75m to be associated with one World Cup tournament.
"I think Fifa have taken their sponsorship on to a whole new level, with something closer to the Champions League model of a small number of sponsors," says Mr Currie.
"Fifa realised their top six categories were so competitive that they could greatly increase the money they were asking for.
"In the top tier there was a natural rival in each category, for example Coke and Pepsi, Adidas and Nike, and Visa and Mastercard."
Underneath these six firms are the second tier of firms, called "sponsors" as opposed to "partners", paying about £20m per tournament.
Mr Currie says the biggest development in Fifa's World Cup sponsorship, apart from the compression of the top partners list to just six names, has been the emergence of four relatively unknown names in the second tier.
They are Seara from Brazil - one of the largest food companies in the world, Indian IT consultants Mahindra Satyam, Chinese solar energy firm Yingli, and South African mobile phone service provider MTN.
"These are completely new names from outside the usual axis and Europe, the US, and Japan and Korea," Mr Currie points out.
"It shows the World Cup is reaching more and more commercial territories.
"It normally would have been easy to take a guess at the names of the companies backing a World Cup, but not this time."
He said the development could signal a rise of new firms into the top ranks of global sports sponsorship.
However, it hasn't all been plain sailing on the sponsor front since 2006.
From 1990 to 2006, Mastercard had been the World Cup credit card sponsor and believed it had first option to extend the deal to cover 2010 and 2014.
It took a number of court appearances and Fifa had to pay Mastercard $90m to settle the wrangle, which finally saw Visa installed as a top partner.
And last week the World Cancer Research Foundation called the continuing deals with "unhealthy" sponsors Coca Cola, McDonald's and Budweiser as an "own goal" for Fifa.
However, Mr Currie says that by moving Coca Cola - a sponsor since 1986 - and McDonald's - a sponsor since 1994 - into the second sponsor tier, Fifa may be trying to minimise future criticism from pressure groups.
Meanwhile, for the biggest major sporting event in Africa, one which dwarves the 1995 rugby union World Cup in South Africa, there is also a tier of five national suppliers.
These are not Fifa sponsorships but local partnerships with the event, with the quintet paying £100m in total to support the World Cup.
In addition, each of the 32 competing teams will have a number of commercial contracts in place, not to mention the number of unofficial or "ambush" marketing campaigns.
"The World Cup is the event that gets to 200-plus countries around the world, and an estimated 26 billion accumulative audience - there is nothing like it," says Mr Currie.
"It takes the world's number one sport, and adds the passion and excitement associated with a World Cup.
"It grabs the global interest, even among people who do not usually follow football. All that is ideal for sponsors."
He says other global events such as Formula 1 motor racing or even the Olympics do not offer the same opportunities to sponsors.
"There are not many global events of this size. It is not just about putting up a billboard, it is about creating worldwide exposure.
"I think that the key thing is that these sorts of companies that are partnering Fifa have all learned how to use major global events to grow business.
"Every can or bottle of Coca Cola has the logo on it. For Coca-Cola it is a chance to say 'we are the number one brand and we are backing the number one event'.
"Visa has sophisticated promotional campaigns around the World Cup."
And he says that while some of the firms were more business-to-business focused and not necessarily looking to win billions of new customers, for the main six sponsors it was a chance to confirm their global footprint while also activating programmes in local markets.
"They are in the spotlight of this major event, having their name and logo recognised around the world, even by people who do do not speak your language," he says.
"If you are a company that has to be in every country in the world, or aspires to be, then there is no greater vehicle than the World Cup."
The Commons Work and Pensions Committee said details sent out about when people will get state pensions and how much they are worth were "inadequate" and "confusing".
It warns this particularly applies to women, whose pension age is changing.
The DWP said it was working hard to help people understand the issues.
The state pension age will reach 66 by October 2020, with women's pension age being raised to match that of men's.
Previously, women's state pension age was 60, with men's set later at 65.
The Work and Pensions Select Committee has prepared an interim report on the New State Pension (NSP), which replaces the basic and additional state pensions from April.
MPs said they had done this because the situation was too urgent to wait for the full inquiry to be completed.
The report said there were "widespread concerns" that women had been unaware of increases in their state pension age dating back to 1995.
One woman told the MPs she had been sent a letter by the Pension Service in 2005 that did not mention her retirement age.
In 2012, two years before her 60th birthday, which she thought was her pension age, she received another letter saying she was not entitled to draw that until she turned 66.
The report said: "At a crucial time of reform to the state pension and the state pension age, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) statements are insufficiently clear.
"This lack of clarity increases the chances that people misunderstand the value of their state pension or the age from which they will receive it. In turn, this increases the chances that they will not best plan for retirement."
The committee said statements should be fitted on to a single page, with key messages highlighted in boxes for greater ease of understanding.
They should list the current value of the state pension built up alongside the age at which people will be eligible to receive the income, and how they can build up retirement funds.
The committee's chairman, Frank Field, said: "Successive governments have bungled the fundamental duty to tell women of these major changes to when they can expect their state pension.
"Retirement expectations have been smashed as some women have only been told a couple of years before the date they expected to retire that no such retirement pension is now available."
A DWP spokesman said: "We are committed to ensuring that the public understands the positive changes being made to the state pension. We've already done a huge amount - including TV, radio and print advertising - and this activity will continue over the coming months and years."
They added that the DWP was working closely with the select committee on its current inquiry.
More information on the state pension is available here.
Aberdeen North MP Frank Doran said the remark, made in a Commons debate, was "an error of judgement".
But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan - who is also the women's and equalities minister - said his comments were "outrageous and deeply offensive".
UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Just imagine for a split second how the media would react if I said this."
During a Commons debate on fisheries, Mr Doran said he could not remember if there had ever been a female fisheries minister.
Sheryll Murray, the Conservative MP for South East Cornwall - whose husband was killed in a fishing accident in 2011 - intervened to say there had not "but we have had former female secretaries of state".
Mr Doran acknowledged she was right, but said there was "no dedicated fisheries minister".
To audible gasps, he added: "I'm not sure it is a job for a woman, although the honourable lady might reach that."
Hearing the reaction around the chamber, Mr Doran added: "That was not a sexist remark. I know the fishing industry very well."
But several hours after the exchange, Mr Doran - who was a lawyer before entering Parliament - apologised. "It was an error of judgement which does not represent my view or the Labour Party's" he said.
Mrs Murray's fisherman husband was killed when his clothes became caught in a netting winch on his boat.
Ms Morgan said Mr Doran's comments "seriously undermine our work to raise aspiration among young women and girls".
She added: "He should apologise immediately. Labour are very good at throwing stones but they are too quick to ignore blatant sexism within their own ranks - Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman cannot ignore this."
Mr Farage said Mr Doran, who is stepping down at May's election, had been given "an easy ride".
West Yorkshire Trading Standards (WYTSS) said it found more than 400 items past their use-by date at the Real Junk Food Project's (RJFP) warehouse in Pudsey, Leeds.
Project founder Adam Smith said it had made "food unfit for human consumption available to the general public" since 2013 without complaint.
WYTSS said it was unable to comment.
More stories from across Yorkshire
The letter states 444 items, which were a cumulative total of 6,345 days past the use-by dates, were discovered at the charity's premises on the Grangefield Industrial Estate.
It said Mr Smith was invited to attend a "formal recorded interview under caution" to discuss offences which may have been committed under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.
Mr Smith said: "[The letter] was claiming that we were making food unfit for human consumption available to the general public, which is true, because that's what we've done since day one when we opened three-and-a-half years ago.
"We've got 127 cafes in seven countries across the world. We've fed over one million people worldwide with food that's expired and still to this day no-one has ever been sick. So we can prove that we can make this food safe for human consumption.
"I'm quite positive about it. Just because it's the law doesn't make it right. We can prove that the food is safe for human consumption.
"We're not going to stop serving food to people that's expired because it will then go to waste and that's the reason that we're here."
He said he hoped the meeting would help create a debate around the legislation
David Strover, from WYTSS said: "I am sure you will appreciate that WYTSS is unable to comment on the detail of an ongoing investigation except to say that the Proprietor of RJFP will be able to put forward information as part of that investigation process.
"That will help inform the decision on what, if any, action will be taken."
Mark Jones, solicitor and retail specialist, said the charity may find it difficult to contest any case brought against it.
He said: "If you pass a use-by date, the starting point is that the food is unsafe and the law expressly says that. If they have been using food which is past its 'use-by' date RJFP will struggle to find a defence.
"The law is European law implemented by domestic legislation and is not something that can be sidestepped.
"If RJFP have been selling food past its use-by date unlawfully, the extent to which they have actively engaged in this practice will determine the outcome of any prosecution; that could be a fine if it's significant or even a prison sentence.
"One thing that is likely to influence trading standards is the nature of the business. This is not a situation where you have an individual seeking to make vast commercial profit by selling out-of-date food, it's a charitable organisation seeking to reduce food waste which it seems may have fallen foul of technical food regulations."
The machine, at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, is one of only two purpose-built neonatal MRI scanners in the world.
At present, ultrasound is normally used to scan the brains of newborns.
Prof Paul Griffiths, of the University of Sheffield, said MRI was better at showing the structures of the brain and abnormalities more clearly.
So far about 40 babies have been imaged in the MRI scanner, which was built by GE Healthcare with funding by the Wellcome Trust.
One of them, Alice-Rose, was born at 24 weeks and had two bleeds in the brain.
Her parents, Shaun and Rachael Westbrook, said the MRI scan was very helpful.
Shaun told me: "It's a much crisper image and a lot easier to understand than the ultrasound."
Rachael added: "It's been a rollercoaster since Alice-Rose was born on 6 November: not everything was fully formed, and she still weighs only 2lb 13oz (1.28kg).
"The MRI was reassuring as it meant you got a better look at her brain."
Ultrasound of the brain is possible in newborn babies only because the bones in their skull are not yet fused.
The sound waves can travel through the two fontanelles - the soft spots between the bones.
Prof Griffiths said: "Ultrasound is cheap, portable and convenient, but the position of the fontanelles means there are some parts of the brain which cannot be viewed.
"MRI is able to show all of the brain and the surrounding anatomy, making the images easier to explain to parents.
"From a diagnostic point, the big advantage is that MRI is able to show a wider range of brain abnormalities, in particular those which result from a lack of oxygen or blood supply."
MRI scans are rarely performed on severely premature babies because the risks involved in transferring and handling a sick infant can outweigh the benefits.
Prof Griffiths said: "MRI machines are huge, heavy objects which are sited in the basement or ground floor of hospitals, whereas maternity units are usually higher up, or in a completely different building, so it can mean a complicated journey to get a baby to and from the scanner."
Evelina Children's Hospital in London has a full-size MRI scanner within the neonatal intensive care unit.
The compact baby MRI machine at the Royal Hallamshire is not much bigger than a washing machine and just metres away from the neonatal intensive care unit, meaning that specialist staff are on hand in case of problems.
The concept for a dedicated neonatal scanner was originally developed more than a decade ago by Prof Griffiths and Prof Martin Paley, of the University of Sheffield.
Two prototype 3 Tesla neonatal MRIs were eventually built - the other is in Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts - although it is no longer in use.
Neither machine has regulatory approval for clinical use, and both remain purely for research.
Prof Griffiths said the next step would be to do a trial in premature babies to show definitively that MRI produces a better diagnosis and whether it altered the clinical management of children.
It is not known how much a neonatal MRI machine would cost, should the system eventually get commercialised, but full-size scanners are typically priced at several hundred thousand pounds.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital has a 1.5 Tesla neonatal MRI scanner that was adapted from adult orthopaedic use.
It would "immediately investigate this case" along with US experts.
Saudi Arabia earlier denied allegations from the rebel Houthi-run government that the coalition was responsible.
The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan.
The Saudi-led coalition said in a statement: "The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with the Joint Incidents Assessment Team in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations."
It referred to "reports about the regrettable and painful bombing" in Sanaa, before adding: "The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians."
The US said it had launched an "immediate review" of its already-reduced support for the coalition.
White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said US co-operation with Saudi Arabia was "not a blank cheque".
He said that while the US was focused on achieving an end to the conflict in Yemen, Washington was "prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with US principles, values and interests".
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the attack was an act of "genocide".
UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, condemned Saturday's strikes on the funeral gathering as a "horrific attack".
He said that aid workers who arrived at the scene had been "shocked and outraged".
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags.
The ICRC's Rima Kamal told the BBC "several air strikes" had hit the venue attended by hundreds of civilians and damage to the buildings was extensive.
The Saudi-led coalition is backing the internationally-recognised government of Yemen.
Thousands of civilians have been killed since the war began in 2014.

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

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

Finnish firm Elisa says it has achieved a 1.9 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) speed on a test network, claiming this is the fastest on record.
The hyper-fast mobile internet service could theoretically download a Blu-ray film in 44 seconds.
But analysts are sceptical that such a feat could currently be replicated within a live, real-world network.
Elisa said it used technology provided by Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to deliver a mobile network speed that edged close to the 2Gbps threshold.
By comparison, its fastest commercial network speed is 300Mbps - less than a sixth as fast.
The corporation's chief executive, Veli-Matti Mattila, said: "We know there hasn't been a speed this high announced by any other network."
In February however, one university research team - not affiliated with a network provider - managed to achieve a 5G mobile speed of 1 terabit per second (Tbps), which is more than fifty times faster than Elisa's 4G speed.
In terms of commercial applications, Mr Mattila told the BBC that Elisa is planning to roll out a premium 1Gbps network in Finland within the next "two to three years".
Mobile virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as "high quality 4K video and beyond", are cited by Mr Mattila as applications likely to benefit most from hyper-fast network speeds.
But two analysts are sceptical about the real-world relevance of the speed record.
"Deploying a network that can support 1.9Gbps doesn't mean customers will get 1.9Gbps mobile broadband," said Nick Wood, assistant editor at Total Telecom.
He told the BBC: "This is because that network capacity has to be shared among customers. In reality, customers are likely to experience a modest improvement in overall speed and reliability, which is great, but doesn't make for exciting headlines the same way that 1.9 Gbps does."
Ernest Doku, a telecoms expert at uSwitch, pointed out that only 5Mb per second (Mbps) is required for streaming HD content on Netflix, and Elisa's top speed "is 400 times faster than that".
"It'll be a long time until our infrastructure here in the UK offers anything close," he added.
"This isn't a stepping stone to 5G as much as it's proof that 4G is yet to achieve its full potential here in the UK," he said.
Mr Mattila added that Elisa's new record shows that 4G networks can still "evolve" and deliver greater download speeds for mobile customers.
"5G technology is in the early stages, and soon we will see that tech piloted. But with 4G working at faster and faster speeds, it means we don't need 5G coverage just yet," he said.
"I expect we will pilot 5G within the next year, but I don't expect the 5G deployment in the mass market until after 2020."
Det Con Nighat Hubbard alleges male colleagues made discriminatory comments to her and other female officers when she worked at the force.
She also claims she was held back while white colleagues were allowed to work on more complex investigations, the Sunday Times reports.
The Met said it was aware legal action had been brought.
The claims date between 2013 and 2014.
In a statement, the force said: "We are aware of an employment tribunal claim brought by Det Con Nighat Hubbard against the Metropolitan Police Service alleging race and sex discrimination.
"We are unable to discuss further while proceedings are ongoing."
In 2014 she was awarded an MBE for her charity work, reportedly making her the first Muslim policewoman to be honoured by the Queen.
Captain Sam Warburton and fellow Wales forward Alun Wyn Jones have been sidelined by injuries.
"You've really got to be playing your best rugby on these tours because in a blink of an eye the Test series is there," he said.
"The rugby's going to be physical enough in New Zealand.
The Lions start their 10-match tour on Saturday, 3 June.
"You've definitely got to start getting used to the bumps again and making sure that your injuries are fine and that you hit the floor running on the Lions tour," Williams added.
"You haven't got time to play a game and see how it feels and wait for the next game."
Cardiff Blues flanker Warburton sustained a knee injury in April, ruling him out for six weeks, while Ospreys lock Jones has been out for six weeks after injuring his shoulder playing for Wales in their 20-18 Six Nations defeat by France in Paris in March.
Jones, 31, could be set to return from injury for Ospreys' crucial Pro12 game against regional rivals Scarlets on Saturday.
Warburton could play for Cardiff Blues before the end of the season, the region's head coach Danny Wilson said.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland said Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray was also progressing in his recovery from a shoulder injury.
The Lions play the first of their tour matches against a Provincial Union XV in Whangarei.
Williams, who toured with the Lions on three occasions, dismissed former New Zealand number eight Zinzan Brooke's criticism of Taulupe Faletau as mind games.
Brooke had said Wales and Bath number eight Faletau lacked the "mongrel edge" to flourish on the summer's Lions tour.
"I suppose you're only going to start talking about or criticising players you worry could do the business against your team," Williams said.
"He's a world-class player and Zinzan Brooke knows that.
"Taulupe's a little bit different from your usual back-rower, he's got great feet, and his ball awareness as a player...he's superb and that's why he's on this tour.
"I know Taulupe very well, and I don't think he'd even watch or listen to anything that's being said out there."
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said President Vladimir Putin had ordered the extension to 16:00 (13:00 GMT).
UN humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said he hoped hundreds of sick and wounded could be evacuated by the deadline.
But rebels have rejected the truce, with reports of continued clashes and few residents heeding calls to leave.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants were "preventing the evacuation of the population", as he discussed the crisis by phone with US Secretary of State John Kerry.
In a separate development on Thursday, Belgium demanded that Russia formally withdraw claims that two Belgian fighter jets had killed six civilians in air strikes on a Kurdish village in northern Syria on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Belgium summoned the Russian ambassador in Brussels to dismiss the accusations as "totally groundless".
Russia's military insisted that its radar backed the claim.
Russian and Syrian government forces suspended their air strikes on Tuesday to pave the way for the truce, which is aimed at opening up eight exit corridors from the east of the city to allow residents to leave the besieged area.
Rebel fighters have been given a chance to leave via two corridors, provided they leave behind their weapons.
But soon after the truce took effect at 05:00 GMT on Thursday, some of the corridors reportedly came under fire, with opposition and government forces blaming each other.
Mr Egeland, who heads the UN humanitarian taskforce for Syria, said he hoped the first of "several hundred" people most in need of medical help could be brought out on Friday with the help of the World Health Organization and the Red Cross.
"We believe we now have all of the green lights that we need both from the Russians and the government and from the armed opposition groups," he said.
But the truce was reported to have had little impact on the ground. Ammar Jaber, a correspondent for Orient News, a Dubai-based pro-opposition TV channel, said he had seen just a few civilians leaving at two of the crossings intended for evacuation.
Mr Jaber said Syrian government forces were targeting the corridors with sniper and rocket fire.
Last month, Syrian government forces encircled the eastern section and launched an all-out assault backed by Russia.
Some 2,700 people have been killed or injured in the bombardment since then, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group. About 250,000 civilians who live in Aleppo have been trapped by the fighting.
Western leaders have said Russian and Syrian air strikes on Aleppo could amount to war crimes, an accusation rejected by Russia.
Jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was known as al-Nusra Front until it broke formal ties with al-Qaeda in July, has vowed to fight on despite Russia's pledge of a truce.
Mainstream rebel factions also dismissed Russia's proposal as a gimmick.
The UN, which regards Jabhat Fateh al-Sham as a terrorist organisation, says the group has 900 fighters inside Aleppo, out of a maximum of 8,000 rebels in total.
Meg Hillier says just eight out of 151 local councils know where all their care leavers are living, despite a duty to stay in touch with them.
Two-thirds of care leavers' services have been rated inadequate or requiring improvement by Ofsted, she adds.
Town hall bosses say the care system is becoming an increasing challenge.
The Local Government Association says this is due to the growing number of youngsters entering the care system and increasingly stretched budgets.
The National Audit Office report: Care Leavers' Transition to Adulthood, scrutinised by the committee, says the number of young people leaving care has grown significantly, almost doubling from 6,900 in 2003-04 to 10,310 a decade later.
The report says young people in care have often had difficult lives but have to start living independently much earlier than their peers.
Some 62% of children in care are there because of abuse or neglect, which can have a lasting impact on their mental and emotional health.
The report says the government aims to ensure that care leavers receive the same level of care and support as a child does from a reasonable parent.
This would include help in finding a job or setting up home, and general support for them to move successfully into adulthood.
But high staff turnover and heavy workloads mean sometimes care leavers are not getting the support to which they are entitled, it says
Mrs Hillier said: "It seems local authorities are turning their back on young people leaving their care, when two-thirds of local authority services for care leavers have been rated 'inadequate' or 'requiring improvement' since November 2013.
"Care leavers are in dire need of effective care and support, but this report finds care leavers who are not involved in their care-leaving plans and who do not know what support they are entitled to."
The report also finds local authorities have no information on 17% of their 19- to 21-year-old care leavers, even though they are often vulnerable.
Care leavers often face difficulties in accessing their own health records, identification documents and personal history, it adds.
It also highlights that there are no official statistics on some aspects of care leavers' lives, such as whether they have timely access to health services and whether they feel they left care at the right time.
And it does not collect data on where care leavers work or study, or where they live and whether it is suitable, after the age of 21.
Amyas Morse, head of the NAO, said: "The government has made a commitment to improve the support for these young people, but the outcomes for many have been deteriorating over the last seven years."
An LGA spokesman said: "Councils do what they can to support all care leavers.
"We desperately need to see the whole system properly funded and joined-up to ensure children and young people receive the support when they need it.
"It is vitally important that government departments work better together to continue the work to tackle our ineffective and fragmented mental health system."
A DfE official said it was committed to improving the lives of care leavers and helping them make a successful transition to adulthood.
"That's why we have introduced a comprehensive series of reforms to achieve this - including changing the law so young people can live with their foster family after they turn 18 and giving every care leaver a personal adviser.
"We are also investing over £100m through the Innovation Programme to support vulnerable children, and funding programmes to get more care leavers into apprenticeships."
Javed Khan, chief executive of Barnardo's which wants support for care leavers extended until age 25, said: "It is disappointing that the system put in place to support care leavers continues to have such poor outcomes for young people."
The crash happened on the eastbound carriageway near Micheldever, just after 07:30 BST.
A woman who was a passenger in the car was taken to hospital - her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Highways England, which has replaced the Highways Agency, said the road reopened at about noon.
The road was closed eastbound from the A34 at Bullington and the M3 at North Waltham. Traffic was being diverted via the A34 towards Winchester.
Motorists were being advised to plan for longer journey times and find alternative routes.
The A303 was picked out by traffic information company Trafficmaster as one of the likely top five busiest roads over the Easter holiday period.
The UK's Advertising Standards Authority said it was considering the step to ensure people "aren't misled by pricing claims".
It follows a study that indicated most users could not correctly calculate bills based on the information given in a selection of broadband ads.
The ASA said it would make a final decision before June.
A lobby group representing the broadband industry has suggested more research is needed before any changes are imposed.
But one of the internet service providers has already said it supports reform.
"It's obvious that a single headline price is much clearer and better for customers, and we're actually already doing it on a pilot project up in York," said a spokesman for TalkTalk.
"But until the whole market moves to single prices, any company that advertises its products like this will struggle to compete with what look like better deals from other providers."
The announcement comes a month after the charity Citizens Advice called on the ASA to review its code of practice because it said consumers were being misled by attractive-sounding broadband offers.
The ASA has suggested it will call on ISPs to follow three new guidelines:
"Advertising works better when it's trusted," said the ASA's chief executive Guy Parker.
"We'll now be moving quickly, working alongside broadband providers, to clarify the presentation of price information."
The move follows a study carried out on behalf of both the ASA and the communications regulator Ofcom in June.
It involved 300 home broadband "decision makers" being shown adverts that had been made for TV, newspapers, websites and outside billboards.
The research firm Futuresight then quizzed them about their recall of the details.
Its findings suggest:
"Many people are confused by complicated adverts and offers, so we welcome the ASA's plans to simplify broadband advertising," said Ofcom's chief executive Sharon White.
However, the Internet Services Providers' Association has raised concerns.
"[We] believe that more detailed research is needed to corroborate the survey findings," said Nicholas Lansman, the industry group's secretary general.
"Beyond adverts, ISPs provide clear information if consumers engage more closely with them, for example by going to their website, visiting a shop, working with comparison and consumer websites or by calling the providers.
"This has not been reflected in the survey, which is based on a small sample size with some of the reviewed adverts only being shown to eight participants."
Dermot Weld's three-year-old, who overcame a late injury scare, was a 13-2 shot for the world's most famous flat race and was ridden by Pat Smullen.
The son of 2009 Derby winner Sea The Stars hit the front with more than a furlong to run, with US Army Ranger and Idaho pushing hard.
But Harzand beat the favourite by a length and a half with Idaho in third.
"I spotted the white face of US Army Ranger, but this horse responded to me," Smullen, 39, said.
Harzand, winner of the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown in April, had been a doubtful runner on Saturday morning after spreading a plate - when the horseshoe becomes detached from the hoof.
"The trouble we had with him this morning, I didn't know if he would get here, but it's a great team effort. I'm delighted for them." Smullen added.
Winning owner-breeder Aga Khan, had previously tasted Derby glory with horses including the legendary Shergar and most recently Sinndar in 2000.
It was also a first derby triumph for two-time Melbourne Cup winning trainer Weld.
"I won my first Classic here with Blue Wind many moons ago, when I probably didn't have horses like this to win this great race," Weld said.
"It's wonderful to do it. We had a huge worry this morning as he spread a plate travelling over and he was a very doubtful runner right up to about an hour ago.
"But with the tremendous help of all my colleagues and my team, we made it."
Cornelius Lysaght, BBC Sports racing correspondent
"Tremendous stuff from Harzand as he swept aside concerns following a late foot scare and dug deep to see off the fast-finishing favourite, so recording a fifth Derby success in the Aga Khan silks, once ubiquitous in Britain but rarely seen these days.
"The owner prefers to concentrate on racing in France and Ireland where Dermot Weld has his base a stone's throw from the Curragh training grounds.
"From there, he's planned major-race raids around the world, and though there's no indication the 68-year-old's anywhere near slowing down, Pat Smullen expressed the view it would be 'a travesty' if he had retired without an Epsom Derby win."

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

The announcement was made in Egypt, which has been leading mediation efforts.
People in Israel and Gaza give their reaction to the news:
I'm now really satisfied that after eight days of bombing we have a ceasefire. We were really scared about a possible ground invasion, especially after leaflets were dropped.
We've lost a lot of people this week. I know of a family about half a mile from my house that has been wiped out. I haven't been outside since the operation started but I will go out tomorrow and I expect I will see lots of damage.
People are celebrating in the streets, we've been in a war but we are now hopeful that the siege might be lifted.
I studied a Masters degree at Oxford and only returned to Gaza just two weeks before the bombing started. I'm unemployed at the moment but I hope to start looking for a job.
I hope the ceasefire will last, I believe both sides want peace.
I'm quite upset that we have a ceasefire. I believe Israel hasn't achieved anything. About an hour after it was declared I heard one of the Iron Dome rockets bringing down a missile.
Public opinion here is that we don't want a ceasefire. I believe we've lost in the eyes of the world - I think in a few months time we'll pay for this.
There is great sympathy for the Gaza citizens; they're as much victims of Hamas as we are.
I've amazed myself with how stoic I've been recently. Were it not for my partner I wouldn't have gone to the stairwell of my home as I feel that living on the north-east side of the building we occupy is a safe spot.
People are amazed when they see me out in the town shopping, but I've been very pragmatic about this whole situation. I'm not going to leave Ashkelon. I've been here for six months and my partner is Ashkelonian.
We realise that the average man in the street in Gaza is not the enemy, we should be working with them. What we need is peace.
I've just seen on the TV that the ceasefire has been announced. I am delighted. It is what we want.
I am the breadwinner looking after 11 family members including my wife, two children, parents and five sisters.
We have spent a whole week now in the house since the escalation of air strikes. It is very hard to go outside, it's just not safe. The bombs are targeting civilians and they fall from the air and also come from warships. We are watching the news all the time when we can and we haven't slept.
Every day, the electricity is turned off for eight hours. It's winter here so it is cold but inside the house we are OK. We have enough food and water but medicines are running out. My elderly father has a heart condition and I haven't been able to get any medicine for him. Everything is closed. I can't go to work and I can't go to the shops.
Lately I've seen lots of trucks evacuating people from north of Gaza. The refugees are staying in UN schools.
People don't want this situation to continue, we all want this ceasefire. There has to be an end to this cycle of violence.
I worry so much for my children. My son, who is five years old, has started to think that this way of life is normal. He was watching the TV looking at the children dying, my wife quickly jumped up and turned off the TV but he shouted: "I want to see this." Later he said that he didn't want to do his homework "until the war ends". I am so worried that he knows what war is like.
The ceasefire is good. I'm glad, I believe that many people had hoped for more to be achieved at the peace talks in Egypt but it's good to have some time out from the conflict.
I've lived through previous ceasefires and obviously they haven't worked to bring about long-term peace. Sadly, I don't think this ceasefire is any different. Hamas wants to eliminate Israel, so they won't give up.
I wish they would give up.
My friend in the south hasn't left his home in a week now. He says that riding the bus is too dangerous so everyone is staying indoors. Also, some universities have closed and a lot of the students have moved to the north where it is a bit safer.
I heard on the news about the bomb blast which hit a bus. But it was quite far from where I am. In Tel Aviv it has actually got a bit better because all the attacks are in the south. Generally, Tel Aviv has had fewer rockets so no alarms.
Life is a bit better but it is very depressing. | After more than a week of fighting, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has begun. | 20,438,212 | 1,079 | 23 | false |
Mr Putin's spokesman said about 17,600 soldiers on training exercises in the Rostov region would be pulled back.
Russia has previously announced troop withdrawals that Nato and the US say were not actually carried out.
Russia has been accused of supplying troops and weapons to separatist rebels in east Ukraine - claims it denies.
The latest order comes ahead of a planned meeting between Mr Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Friday.
Ukrainian troops have been fighting pro-Russia rebels in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk since April, in a conflict that has killed more than 3,500 people.
The two sides agreed a truce on 5 September, but fighting has continued, especially in and around Donetsk.
"[Mr] Putin has ordered to start the returning of troops to regular station," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in quotes carried by Interfax and Ria Novosti news agencies.
Mr Peskov said this was because the period of training was completed.
Mr Putin made similar statements about withdrawing troops from the Ukrainian border in March and May.
However, Nato and US officials said they saw no evidence of soldiers being moved.
Correspondents say the deployment of Russian troops on Ukraine's border is seen as a powerful tool designed to threaten the government in Kiev.
Meanwhile, Mr Putin and Mr Poroshenko are expected to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) summit in Italy on Friday.
Mr Poroshenko told reporters: "I don't expect the talks will be easy."
"Russia's role in the issue of providing peace... is difficult to overestimate," he added.
Mr Poroshenko said he also hoped to discuss Russia and Ukraine's gas pricing dispute.
Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June, saying the Kiev government had not settled its debts.

Transport links and water and power supplies in the city of 10 million are severely affected.
Flooding across central and southern China has killed more than 180 people, state media have reported.
The Chinese premier has called upon local authorities across the country to be prepared for further downpours.

On Wednesday the Wuhan meteorological office issued a red alert for further rain and flooding. By Thursday, the rain appeared to have eased off, and attention turned to relief and rescue efforts.
Chinese media is reporting that more than 600mm (1.9ft) of rain has fallen over the past week in Wuhan, the most ever in the history of the city, which is on the Yangtze River.
Roads and metro stations were inundated with water, and trains cancelled.
The last leg of the journey home for some people leaving Wuhan train station tonight is on foot, wading through the water.
A handful of couples passed me as I stood, almost up to my knees in it, at the traffic lights under the highway overpass by the railway station. A few coaches made it through the temporary pond, as did a few lorries. But there was no rush hour traffic in the worst hit suburbs tonight.
There is some respite; the rain has stopped for now. But as I write this there are still cars driving the wrong way down a highway slip road because the rain has blocked their route.
On Thursday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang warned local authorities across China to be prepared for further downpours, and instructed them to ensure measures were in place to avoid potential risks to people's lives.
He has been visiting affected areas in Anhui, Hunan and Hubei provinces and was in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, to oversee relief and rescue operations on Wednesday.
Amid the crisis, official figures for the number of dead have fluctuated. On Wednesday state television put the overall toll at about 170.
Netizens are sharing images on social media showing submerged buildings and cars, and people wading through water up to their knees.
They are also sharing stories of people helping with flood control measures, under the hashtag 'We're mobilising against the Wuhan floods.'
With a "degree of technical competence rarely seen", Regin had probably taken years to develop, Symantec said.
And a nation state may have written it to serve its spying agencies' needs.
The program had been used in "systematic spying campaigns" over the past six years, Symantec said.
Aimed at Windows users, Regin slowly infiltrated its targets, taking care at each stage to hide its tracks, the company said.
"Many components of Regin remain undiscovered and additional functionality and versions may exist," it added.
"Its design makes it highly suited for persistent, long-term surveillance operations against targets."
Jason Steer, director of technology strategy at security firm FireEye, said: "These types of toolkits have existed for a few years now."
He added: "It's a challenge to the whole security industry as to how they find these malicious and sophisticated pieces of code,"
Security firms were better at spotting such things even though Regin and its ilk were built to fool modern-day tools that look for malicious programs and monitor activity to spot anything suspicious. The techniques Regin used to sneak on to a network and communicate with its creators were very complicated, he said.
"It's clearly been written by someone that has much more than making money in mind," he said.
Mr Steer said the tip-offs about Regin and similarly sophisticated threats often came from government agencies who kept an eye on the cyber spying capabilities of both friendly and hostile nations.
Victims had been infected via spoofed versions of well-known websites and by exploiting known vulnerabilities in web browser software, said Symantec in a detailed analysis.
In a blogpost, security company F-Secure said it had first encountered Regin in 2009 after investigating what was making a server on the network of one of its customers crash repeatedly. Closer investigation revealed the culprit to be Regin which was attempting to insert itself into the heart of the software controlling the server.
Chief research officer Mikko Hypponen said: "Finding malware of this calibre is very rare.
"We're still missing big parts of the puzzle."
"Nevertheless, it's obvious this is a very complicated malware written by a well-equipped nation-state." He added that the malware did not look like it originated in China or Russia - the places suspected of creating many other stealthy, spying programs.
Security firm Kaspersky Lab said it too had spotted Regin being used to infiltrate networks and steal data. In one attack, Regin was used to gather administrative details for a mobile phone network in the Middle East that, if used, would have given attackers control over the system.
Symantec said it had captured the first copies of Regin in a small number of organisations between 2008 and 2011.
Soon after, the malware had appeared to have been withdrawn, but a new version found in 2013 was now being actively used.
Only about 100 Regin infections have so far been identified.
It is believed to provide the ability to:
Symantec said that Regin had a lot in common with other malicious programs such as Flame, Duqu and Stuxnet, also thought to be written by nation states to aid their spying efforts.
The list, which aims to showcase the best new acts for the year ahead, was compiled using tips from 213 UK-based critics, broadcasters and bloggers.
Now in its 11th year, previous winners include Michael Kiwanuka, Jessie J, Adele, Mika, Ellie Goulding and Keane.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens said Haim had a "contagious enthusiasm".
Discover the top five acts
Watch the top 15 acts on the Sound of 2013 site
How the list is compiled
"Haim have an unapologetic passion for music that shines in their songs," he said. "They're brilliant musicians who have a real talent for tunes that merge their tales of growing up in the 21st Century with a classic songwriting ability."
The sisters have already supported British artists Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons live.
Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, who are aged between 21 and 26, started playing music as children when their parents enlisted them into a family covers band.
The sisters all play guitar, drums and sing and are still occasionally known to pull their mother and father on stage.
Haim's songs pay homage to feelgood, freewheeling '70s rock and anthemic '80s synth-pop, gaining a modern sheen by borrowing rhythms from contemporary R&B.
The 213 tastemakers - ranging from music magazine editors and newspaper critics to influential bloggers, DJs and radio and TV producers - each named their favourite three new acts.
They were free to choose performers from any country and any musical genre.
Artists who had scored a UK top 20 single or album before 11 November 2012 were ineligible, as were those already well-known to the UK public - for example by featuring in the final stages of a TV talent show or already being a member of a successful band.
The tips were compiled into a longlist of the top 15 artists, which was published in December, and the top five have been revealed this week.
In second place were London R&B duo AlunaGeorge, with uncompromising New York-based rapper Angel Haze in third. Birmingham soul singer Laura Mvula was fourth and Glasgow electro-pop outfit Chvrches completed the top five.
It is the first time that the top five acts have all been female or fronted by women.
Este Haim said: "It's the craziest thing to think we're on a list with so many amazing artists. This year the five bands that were in the list were all female fronted, right?
"We love the UK - the last time we were there, we were there for almost a month and a half. The UK is like a second home."
NME magazine's new music editor Matt Wilkinson, who took part in the poll, said Haim "have a knack for writing amazingly catchy singles, they're a killer live band and they talk the talk miles better than most other new bands".
"It's a rare and exciting combination," he added.
Michael Kiwanuka was top of the Sound of 2012 list. The London troubadour sold 500,000 copies of his debut album Home Again around the world last year and was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
The other previous winners are: Jessie J (Sound of 2011), Ellie Goulding (Sound of 2010), Little Boots (Sound of 2009), Adele (Sound of 2008), Mika (Sound of 2007), Corinne Bailey Rae (Sound of 2006), The Bravery (Sound of 2005), Keane (Sound of 2004) and 50 Cent (Sound of 2003).
Other artists in the top five in previous years include Frank Ocean (Sound of 2012), The Vaccines (Sound of 2011), Marina and the Diamonds (Sound of 2010), Florence and the Machine (Sound of 2009), Foals (Sound of 2008) and Plan B (Sound of 2006).
Gilroy has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a degenerative muscle and ligament disease, as well as fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome. Her right wrist had to be fused because of constant dislocations, and she has limited use of her right shoulder.
Is it hard to imagine, then, how the girl who dreamed of becoming a sportswoman would have felt when in her late teens she was told an operation to cure the dislocations in her knees had failed and she would spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair.
Gilroy was also told to leave university - completing a maths and biology degree in a wheelchair was deemed a hazard - seemingly ending her dreams of becoming a schoolteacher.
Find out how to get into disability sport with our special guide.
But by her early 20s she rediscovered that steely determination to make it as a sports star, and after toying with the idea of taking up archery or shooting, it was table tennis that caught Gilroy's eye. She was catching the eye too - that of a GB talent-spotter in fact, and with it the chance to realise her dreams.
On Monday, more than three decades since she began playing the sport, Gilroy is hoping to win her first Paralympic medal in five attempts. The 43-year-old faces Serbia's Nada Matic for the bronze medal Rio.
Gilroy is no stranger to success - she has two Commonwealth gold medals, was a European champion in 2005 and even won a continental silver while seven and half months pregnant in 2003 - but a podium place at the Paralympics has so far proved elusive.
It's not just through table tennis that Gilroy has been recognised either - her services to the sport and her efforts working with a number of charities have earned the ParalympicsGB stalwart an MBE, as well as an honorary doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University.
Oh, and if juggling all those honours isn't enough for the 21-time national champion, Gilroy now couples her successful wheelchair table tennis career with another one of her childhood aspirations.
It turns out the wheelchair wasn't a 'hazard' after all for this GB star, who is a full-time primary school teacher in her home town of Barnsley.
How did she do? Unfortunately, the wait for a Paralympic medal goes on for Sue Gilroy, who lost 3-2 in the bronze medal match despite leading Serbia's Nada Matic 2-0 at one stage.
The 88-year-old driver died in hospital after his Rover 45 collided with a silver Mercedes estate on the A631 in Maltby at about 13:15 BST on Sunday.
South Yorkshire Police said he may have been taken ill at the wheel.
The other driver, aged 74, suffered serious injuries and two female passengers, aged 70 and 16, suffered minor injuries.
Reports say the sailboat with five crew on board was intercepted as it was returning to Russia after participating in a competition in South Korea.
Russian diplomats have demanded the crew's immediate release and an explanation.
Russia is one of the few countries that has relatively friendly ties with North Korea.
The yacht Elfin was on its way from South Korea's port city of Busan to Vladivostok in Russia's far east when it was detained 130km (80 miles) off the coast on Friday, the foreign ministry said.
The vessel was taken into the North Korean port of Kimchaek and the crew were not in any danger, the ministry added.
The Russian consul-general was waiting for permission to visit them, it said.
Russia shares a short land border with North Korea.
Australian Ward came off his bike during a meeting on 23 August.
The 23-year-old, on loan to Elite League Swindon from Poole Pirates, was stabilised in hospital and then flown to the UK to continue treatment.
"This is going to be a long haul for Darcy," Poole Pirates manager Neil Middleditch told BBC South Today.
Ward, who recently returned from a 10-month ban after failing a breathalyser test in August 2014, was riding for Zielona Gora against Grudziadz when he clipped the back wheel of a rider in front.
"He went over what we call the high side," Middleditch added.
"Normally, it would be a collarbone-type injury. But, the way Darcy fell was very awkward and he received spinal injuries."
He was transferred to hospital where he underwent a two-and-a-half-hour operation and Ward's parents have been at his bedside daily since he was transferred to the UK, having flown over from Australia.
The last two weeks have also been very tough for Middleditch as Ward has lived with his family since riding in the Elite League.
"It's early days with the injury. In the doctors' words, it's 'angry'," he added.
"We've got to let the bruising and the swelling settle down and then they take a better look and see exactly what the damage is."
Jund al-Khilafa killed Mr Gourdel, 55, after its deadline for France to halt air strikes on IS in Iraq ran out.
French President Francois Hollande condemned the killing as a "cruel and cowardly" act.
He said that French air strikes which began on IS targets in Iraq last week would continue.
Speaking at the UN general assembly, Mr Hollande said that Mr Gourdel's abduction and decapitation was a barbaric act of terrorism which presented a problem not only for the region but also for the world.
He said the fight against terrorism should know no borders and that France was now in mourning.
"It is not weakness that should be the response to terrorism but force," he said.
Jund al-Khilafa posted a video of Mr Gourdel being killed which was entitled "Message of blood for the French government".
IS itself has beheaded three Western hostages since August: US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid worker David Haines. Their deaths were all filmed and posted online.
The group has also threatened to kill Alan Henning, a taxi driver from the UK, who was seized while on an aid mission to Syria in December.
On Sunday, it warned it would target Americans and other Western citizens, "especially the spiteful and filthy French".
Mr Gourdel worked as a mountain guide in the Mercantour national park north of Nice, his home town.
He had also been organising treks through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco for some 20 years, AFP news agency reports.
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, said it was difficult to contain the "deep sadness" he felt.
"Today a war was declared on France," he said. "We've been turning a blind eye to what's happening in our back yards. And this is where it has led us."
The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris says news of Mr Gourdel's killing has hit France hard.
Our correspondent says that it is the first time that France has lived through the threat and brutality of this kind of killing.
The fact that Mr Groudel was a tourist in a region popular with French holiday-makers has added to the sense of shock, our correspondent says.
In the video posted by his killers, he is shown on his knees with his hands behind his back in front of four masked, armed militants.
He is allowed briefly to express his love for his family before one of the militants reads out a speech in which he denounces the actions of the "French criminal crusaders" against Muslims in Algeria, Mali and Iraq.
The beheading, the spokesman says, is to "avenge the victims in Algeria... and support the caliphate" proclaimed by IS in Iraq and Syria.
Jund al-Khilafa (Soldiers of the Caliphate) pledged allegiance to IS on 14 September.
Until then it had been known as part of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which grew out of an Algerian militant group and is now active across North and parts of West Africa.
The group claimed Toulouse gunman Mohamed Merah, a French citizen of Algerian origin, as a member after he killed seven people in south-western France in March 2012, French radio reports.
The militants said that they were responding to the IS call to attack citizens involved in strikes on Iraq and would kill Mr Gourdel unless France ended its military operation.
France's public position is that it does not negotiate with militant groups but there have been reports of French citizens being released in West Africa after ransoms have been paid.
Four Frenchmen kidnapped in Niger were freed in October 2013 amid reports of a 20m-euro (£16m; £25m) ransom being paid. The government in Paris denied that was the case.
There were 861 formed in 2015 compared with 1,683 the year before.
Civil partnerships have declined by 85% since 2013, a result of the introduction of marriage for same-sex couples in 2014.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said dissolutions of civil partnerships had risen as more couples swapped them for marriages.
The figures for 2015 showed two thirds (66%) of civil partnerships were between men.
And almost half (48%) of people forming a partnership were aged 50 and over.
Dissolved partnerships increased 14% on 2014 to 1,211.
Elizabeth McLaren of the ONS said: "Civil partnerships have fallen sharply since the introduction of marriages for same-sex couples in March 2014.
"On the other hand, civil partnership dissolutions have increased due to the rising number of civil partnerships that were formed since they were introduced in December 2005. Dissolutions are likely to reduce in the future as more same sex couples form marriages instead of civil partnerships."
London was the most popular place to form a civil partnership with 294 of the total. The figures also showed that in the North East, Yorkshire and The Humber and Wales more partnerships were formed between women than men.
Japan's Nikkei 225 was later down 0.8% to 15,918.7 points.
The yen rose as much as 0.3% against the dollar in early Asia trade, hurting some of Japan's big exporters, while oil prices lost more than 4% overnight.
In Australia, energy related shares were hit by the fall in oil prices.
BHP was down more than 7% and Santos fell nearly 3%.
Australian miner Fortescue said on Wednesday that its first-half net profit fell by 3.6% as the price of iron ore tumbled amid a mounting global supply glut. Its Sydney-listed shares were down 1.4%.
Sydney's ASX 200 was down 1.2% to 4,919.3 points.
In China, shares were mixed in early trade. The Shanghai Composite index was up 0.67% to 2,922.9 points, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong was down 0.3% to 19,355.43.
Shares in lender Standard Chartered sank more than 6% in early Hong Kong trade after the Asia-focused bank on Tuesday posted a $1.5bn (£1.1bn) loss.
In his annual budget speech on Wednesday, Hong Kong's financial secretary John Tsang said he expected the city's economy to grow between 1% and 2% this year.
South Korea's Kospi index was up 0.13% at 1,916.46 points.
Last week, campaigner Peter Mitchell called the toilet sign at Limavady Health Centre "deeply offensive".
Mr Mitchell had said there was an onus on health care providers to use more acceptable language.
The new Western Health Trust sign makes no reference to physical disabilities apart from using the wheelchair symbol.
Peter Mitchell, a local actor and wheelchair user, had said that for him and many others, the word "handicapped" was outdated and insulting.
"It comes from mid 17th century when disabled people were seen as second class citizens, they literally had to beg on the streets with their cap in their hands.
"Do people look at me because I am in a wheelchair, as a second class citizen, that I have nothing to offer?" he asked.
It is understood the sign was replaced on Monday.

The White Rose county will launch the season on 20 March when they play against the MCC in Abu Dhabi.
The NatWest T20 Blast starts on Friday, 20 May and the Royal London One-Day Cup on Sunday, 5 June.
The basic format for the summer remains unchanged, with most Championship fixtures starting on Sundays and the majority of T20 Blast games on Friday evenings.
One big change will see the mandatory coin toss scrapped in both Championship divisions with the visiting captain being offered the opportunity of bowling first.
If he declines, the toss will take place as normal. If he accepts, there will be no toss.
The opening round of Championship games will also see 2008, 2009 and 2013 champions Durham take on Somerset and Hampshire, who avoided relegation on the final day of the 2015 season, play Warwickshire in Division One.
In Division Two, relegated Worcestershire face Kent at New Road, and Sussex, who also went down, travel to Northants.
Essex, who will begin the season under a new head coach following Paul Grayson's departure in September, play Gloucestershire at Chelmsford.
The second round of Division One games sees Yorkshire play Hampshire at Headingley, while Lancashire get their campaign under way against Nottinghamshire who will have Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle available.
Yorkshire, who were the last side to win three titles in a row from 1966-1968, face Lancashire in the first Roses match of the summer at Headingley on 29 May, with the reverse fixture at Old Trafford beginning on 13 August.
Lancashire, the reigning T20 Blast champions, start their defence of that trophy against Derbyshire on Saturday, 21 May, with the two nine-team North and South groups unchanged from 2015.
Beaten finalists Northants, who will be without England all-rounder David Willey following his move to Yorkshire, face a trip to three-time Twenty20 winners Leicestershire.
The final round of 14 group games takes place on Friday, 29 July, with the quarter-finals taking place from 8-11 August.
Edgbaston will play host to finals day for the eighth time on Saturday, 20 August, nine days earlier than this summer.
The group stage of the 50-over One-Day Cup will be split over a couple of fortnights - one between 5-15 June and the other from 24 July - 2 August - with the groups made the same as those in the T20 Blast.
The final at Lord's, which saw Gloucestershire beat Surrey by six runs in 2015, is on Saturday, 17 September.
It comes before the last round of Championship fixtures, starting on 20 September, in which Yorkshire visit Middlesex - the only side to beat Jason Gillespie's men in first-class cricket in 2015.
Group A: Warwickshire, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Northants.
Group B: Kent, Essex, Sussex, Hampshire, Middlesex, Surrey, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Glamorgan.

The 24-year-old was found at a house in Park Parade, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire at 22:30 GMT on Wednesday. His injuries are serious but not life threatening.
West Yorkshire Police believe the shooting was "targeted" and took place in nearby Cemetery Road.
Another person was threatened before the shooting in what officers believe was "mistaken identity".
The shooting has also been linked to a robbery and an attempted robbery. A Peugeot was stolen as a getaway vehicle in one of the incidents.

Durham County Council was criticised for selling Windlestone Hall near Bishop Auckland for £240,000 in 2011.
Now the estate where Sir Anthony Eden was born, which comprises the hall and 25 acres (10.1 hectares) of grounds, is on the market again.
The council said disposing of the hall was the best option at the time.
An external auditor reviewed the sale and found it complied with the rules, although the authority was criticised for a lack of transparency.
John Shuttleworth, who represents Weardale on Durham County Council, has been a vehement critic of the sale and earlier this year asked Durham Police to investigate it.
He said he was not surprised by the estate being put back up for sale, adding "the council are closing care homes and turning off street lights to save some money, but this makes a total nonsense of all of that".
Ian Thompson, Durham County Council's corporate director of regeneration, said the estate had been up for sale for a number of years but, due to the condition of the building, the state of the market and the ongoing maintenance costs, the £240,000 they received was the "only viable" option.
He said: "As well as generating £240,000 for the council, the sale of the hall has delivered substantial savings to the council, including £300,000 since November 2011 on security, heating and repair costs.
"The council is also no longer responsible for carrying out the £3m of urgent repairs that the building required."
The estate is being sold through Urban Base with a total asking price of £2.56m.

"That's what I am looking forward to - getting over there and running good and fast."
Mageean clocked 9:08.83 to win in the new National Indoor Arena , four seconds clear of silver medallist Finn with McCormack taking bronze seven seconds behind Mageean.
"The time is not overly fast," added Mageean.
"I was nervous going into the race because it was a very good field with all the girls there.
"Fionnuala and Michelle are good hard competitors, especially over 3,000 metres. I am happy to come away with the win and the title.
"It's a good confidence boost and I still have a good two hard weeks in the lead up to Belgrade, so I will be focused on being healthy and getting rid of this head cold."
Elsewhere, Letterkenny's Brendan Boyce took bronze in the 5,000m walk in 20:09.28 as Alex Wright broke Rob Heffernan's national record in 18:50.70.
Finn Valley's Summer Lecky took the high jump gold with a best of 1.81m, while Peter Glass, formerly of North Down, took pole vault silver with a best of 4.45 metres.
Arsenal midfielder Wilshere, 24, was left out of the two previous squads but his form has improved during his current loan spell at Bournemouth.
Spurs striker Kane has recovered from the ankle injury that saw him miss the matches against Malta and Slovenia.
Wilshere is a player that we feel has a lot of class and is now starting to get more 90 minutes under his belt
Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw are not in the squad.
Both defenders were declared unfit for United's 3-1 win at Swansea.
Spurs midfielder Dele Alli also misses out having twisted his knee during training in the build-up to Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday.
Burnley's Michael Keane is included again, having received his first call-up as injury cover for last month's games. Full-back Nathaniel Clyne and midfielders Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling also return to the set-up after overcoming injuries.
"Over the last few weeks we've been looking at as many games as possible and keeping track of all of the players," said interim England boss Gareth Southgate.
"Wilshere is a player that we feel has a lot of class and is now starting to get more 90 minutes under his belt. It's good to bring him back into the squad."
England face Scotland on Friday at Wembley Stadium and then play Spain on Tuesday, 15 November.

Wilshere's loan move to Bournemouth from Arsenal was designed to revive his career with club and country - his England recall for the first time since the doomed Euro 2016 campaign proves its success.
The midfielder was left badly exposed by former England manager Roy Hodgson's misplaced loyalty in selecting him for France on the back of 141 minutes over three games for Arsenal at the back end of last season.
He looked totally ill-equipped physically to play and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger clearly felt the only way he could recover was to go somewhere else and get regular games away from Emirates Stadium.
Wilshere has impressed at Bournemouth and his fitness has improved to such an extent he played his first full 90 minutes in the goalless draw with Spurs on 22 October.
Southgate has taken note, recalling how Wilshere has been an international influence when fully fit, and brought him back for the World Cup qualifier with Scotland and the friendly against Spain at Wembley.
England's 25-man squad to face Scotland and Spain: Forster (Southampton), Hart (Torino), Heaton (Burnley); Bertrand (Southampton), Cahill (Chelsea), Clyne (Liverpool), Jagielka (Everton), Keane (Burnley), Rose (Tottenham), Stones (Man City), Walker (Tottenham); Dier (Tottenham), Drinkwater (Leicester), Henderson (Liverpool), Wilshere (Bournemouth), Lallana (Liverpool), Lingard (Man Utd), Rooney (Man Utd), Sterling (Man City), Townsend (Crystal Palace); Walcott (Arsenal), Kane (Tottenham), Rashford (Man Utd), Sturridge (Liverpool), Vardy (Leicester).

At the push of a button, the vehicle's "highway pilot" helped it avoid other road users via a radar and camera sensing system.
The company reiterated the requirement that a human driver be present and focused on the road at all times.
Earlier in the year, Daimler had expressed its desire to carry out such a test by the end of 2015.
"As soon as we are on the highway, we will start the autonomous driving mode," said Daimler executive Wolfgang Bernhard as he steered the Mercedes-Benz Actros truck towards a busy stretch of motorway in Baden-Wurttemberg last week.
Then, at the push of a blue button on the vehicle's dashboard, the autonomous driving system took over.
It successfully piloted the vehicle along the motorway, reaching speeds up to 80km/h (50mph).
Mr Bernhard and Winfried Kretschmann, Minister-President for Baden-Wurttemberg, shared a coffee in the cab, as Mr Bernhard continued to describe how the technology worked.
The system identifies markings on the road as well as other vehicles and obstacles with a camera and radar mounted at the front of the lorry.
At an earlier press event, Mr Bernhard had emphasised the system's reliability.
"The highway pilot brings more safety because it is never inattentive, it is never tired, it is always present 100%," he said.
"It never loses concentration or focus."
The lorry, he said, was, therefore, safer and more efficient than any human driver.
"No matter how well you accelerate, slow down or steer a truck you can never do it as good as the highway pilot can," he said.
Alan Stevens, of the Transport Research Laboratory, told the BBC: "I'm pleased that the trucks have proven safe enough to now undergo realistic road trials.
"Such trials are really the only way to understand the real economic and safety benefits.
"The behaviour of other drivers will be very interesting to see so I look forward to the result."
News of Daimler's test comes as a Japanese company, Robot Taxi Inc, reveals a plan to provide self-driving cars to people in Kanagawa, just south of Tokyo, in 2016.
About 50 people will be selected to take part in the trial.
The cars will be able to self-drive only along a 3km stretch of public road in the area.
Those selected for the trial will be accompanied by a human driver, who will control the vehicle at all other times, and a second person on-hand for safety reasons.
The company is also hoping to provide self-driving vehicles to visitors to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Ultimately, it aims to develop driverless cars that require no human driver at all.
"Unlike many automakers, we are aiming for what the US government calls Level 4 driverless technology - which doesn't call for any human intervention," a spokesman told the BBC.
Demonstrations by people from the Oromo ethnic group have been sparked by fears that Oromo farmers could be displaced.
Human rights groups have estimated that at least 140 people were killed by security forces during the protests.
The ruling party in the Oromia region said it was dropping the plan following discussions with local people.
The Oromo People's Democratic Organisation (OPDO) made the decision after three days of talks, the state broadcaster EBC reports.
The OPDO, along with the Addis Ababa city authority, would have been responsible for implementing the "master plan".
Oromia is Ethiopia's largest region, and completely surrounds the capital.
The government has disputed the death toll quoted by the New York-based Human Rights Watch, saying the figure was an overestimation.
Abiy Berhane from Ethiopia's London embassy told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that the government "has been trying to avoid confrontation", but the protests were hijacked "by people whose intention it was to induce violent confrontation".
The government has also said that plan was going to be implemented only once "a consensus had been reached after in-depth and full discussions".
But a message on the Facebook page of a leading online campaigner says Oromo activists have "dismissed" the government's change of heart as "as too little too late".
The master plan was proposed as a way to incorporate the areas close to Addis Ababa into the capital's rapidly developing economy.
The recent wave of protests began in November last year, but anger over the proposed expansion of Addis Ababa goes back to 2014.
Observers say that the Oromo protests build on long-standing complaints that the community has been excluded from political and economic power.
At the last census in 2007, the Oromo made up Ethiopia's biggest ethnic group, at about 25 million people out of a population at the time of nearly 74 million.
The gem came into British hands in the 19th Century and is part of the Crown Jewels on show at the Tower of London.
Ownership of the priceless gem is an emotional issue for many Indians, who believe it was stolen by the British.
On Monday, India's solicitor-general had told the court that it was "neither stolen nor forcibly taken".
Ranjit Kumar, who was representing India's government in the hearing, had said the 105-carat diamond had been "gifted" to the East India company by the former rulers of Punjab in 1849.
But a statement by India's ministry of culture on Tuesday said the government "further reiterates its resolve to make all possible efforts to bring back the Koh-i-noor diamond in an amicable manner".
Mr Kumar's comments, which elicited surprise in India, did not represent the views of the government, the statement said. The official submission to the court has yet to be made, it added.
The case is being heard by the Supreme Court after an Indian NGO filed a petition asking the court to direct the Indian government to bring back the diamond.
The court is still considering the issue, and said it did not want to dismiss the petition as it could "stand in the way" of future attempts to bring back items that once belonged to India.
Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, said in 2009 that it should be returned as "atonement for the colonial past".
However, successive British prime ministers have refused to do so. Most recently, David Cameron said that returning it would set an "unworkable precedent".
"If you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty," he told Indian media during a trip to the country in 2010.
The diamond was last worn by the late Queen Mother and was displayed on her crown when her coffin lay in state after her death in 2002.
The Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian, is the most famous diamond in the Crown Jewels. It has been the subject of conquest and intrigue for centuries, passing through the hands of Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas.
Attempting to sum up its worth, the 18th Century Afghan queen Wufa Begum said: "If a strong man were to throw four stones, one north, one south, one east, one west, and a fifth stone up into the air, and if the space between them were to be filled with gold, all would not equal the value of the Koh-i-Noor."
The stone was originally found in India's Golconda mines and measured 186 carats when it was eventually handed to the British in 1849 under the terms of a punitive treaty following the Anglo-Sikh war. It was signed by the 10-year-old Sikh ruler after his mother was thrown in jail.
However, the diamond's traditional rose cut did not impress visitors to the Great Exhibition in 1851 and so it was re-cut as an oval brilliant, gaining sparkle but losing about 40% of its weight in the process. The 105.6 carat stone - the size of a hen's egg - is currently set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
It is said to be unlucky for men to wear the Koh-i-Noor diamond owing to its long and bloody history. Some Indian and Pakistani visitors to the Tower of London hiss as they pass it - they want it returned to the subcontinent, though to which country remains unclear.
The album shifted nearly 57,000 copies across streaming, downloads and physical sales.
It comes a month after the album's lead single, Sign of the Times, ended Ed Sheeran's chart reign.

The Rugby Park side have targeted the former Motherwell, Preston, Derby and Nottingham Forest boss to replace Gary Locke, who resigned after Saturday's home defeat by Hamilton.
Davies has been out of management since being sacked by Forest in March 2014.
The 51-year-old's first game in charge could be the Scottish Cup tie with Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday.
Kilmarnock, who are second bottom of the Scottish Premiership, have put Lee McCulloch in temporary charge.
The former Rangers defender, who joined the Rugby Park club as a player and first-team coach in the summer, will be helped by assistant manager Peter Leven and youth coach Alan Robertson.
The Ayrshire club have won only two of their last 13 Premiership matches - losing 5-1 to bottom club Dundee United and 1-0 to Hamilton in consecutive weeks - and have the threat of relegation hanging over them for the third successive season.
They have escaped the previous two years, but would face a play-off against the runners-up from the Championship if their situation remains the same.
The Kilmarnock board believe an experienced manager like Davies would enhance their chances of avoiding that possibility.
Alongside tents and drinking water, RAF planes dropped more than 1,000 solar-powered lanterns attached to chargers for all types of mobile handsets to the stranded members of the Yazidi religious community below.
It is the first time the lanterns have been airdropped in such a relief effort, but humanitarian workers say it is part of growing efforts to develop technology designed to make a difference in disaster zones.
In 2010, Dr Paul Gardner-Stephen, a computer systems researcher at Flinders University in Australia, was driving to work in his car when he first heard radio reports of the devastation of the Haiti earthquake, more than 10,000 miles away.
With roads blocked, infrastructure reduced to rubble and mobile networks down, he realised something needed to be done, and quickly.
"You typically have about three days to restore the communications before the bad people realise the good people aren't in control any more," he says.
His solution was to develop the technology that allows mobile phones to communicate directly with each other even where there is no network coverage, or when mobile masts have been knocked out of action - a system known as "mesh networking".
His Serval Project work means users can send text messages, make calls and send files to other users nearby, creating a mobile network through a web of users.
It is just one example of the dozens of technologies developed in the wake of Haiti to help relief efforts in disaster zones.
"There's plenty of technology for rich white men," Dr Gardner-Stephen says. "It's the rest of the world that we need to help."
Another project born out of the Haiti disaster was the Trilogy Emergency Relief Application (Tera), a mass text messaging programme now being rolled out by the Red Cross in 40 countries around the world.
It allows aid workers to navigate a disaster-hit country from a computer screen, identify all the mobile phones being used in a given area, and blast them all with urgent 140-character updates with a click of a button.
It was first developed in Haiti with the help of local mobile network operators, allowing messages with advice on water sanitation and medical aid to be distributed to millions of people across the Caribbean country.
"I don't know of any other means of communication where you could reach that many people, that quickly and that directly," says Sharon Reader, a communications adviser for the International Red Cross currently working on setting up the Tera system in east Africa.
"It's not like the radio when someone has to be switched on and listening. It's a buzz in their pocket and they're going to be able to see that information immediately."
She says the sheer volume of mobile phones now sold in developing countries makes text messaging the ideal way to communicate.
Global mobile subscriptions are expected to reach seven billion this year according to the UN, with developing countries in Africa and Asia seeing the fastest growth.
The Tera project also allows disaster victims to send messages back to aid agencies, telling them where they are and what they most urgently need.
That makes it similar to other recently developed applications designed to harvest the huge volumes of information generated in the immediate aftermath of a sudden-onset disaster, like a war or earthquake.
The Ushahidi project was used in Haiti to crowd source information from the Haitain population, using social media sources like Twitter and Facebook alongside text messages, with information visualised on an online map for humanitarian agencies to use.
Similar platforms became popular following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The Japanese are the third biggest users of Twitter in the world, and the network became a crucial communication method and information source, typically faster and more effective than mainstream media.
Several similar projects are being developed, including those through the Digital Humanitarian Network and the Standby Taskforce - organisations that mobilise volunteers with expertise in monitoring social media, translating messages to and from local dialects, and creating crisis maps around disasters.
Kim Scriven is the manager of the Humanitarian Innovation Fund, a government-backed agency set up in 2011 that supports innovative research in humanitarian aid.
He says the trying to harvest and filter the vast amounts of data generated by a disaster or conflict is "the big nut that people are trying to crack", with the real challenge being to turn all of that data into information that humanitarian agencies can actually act on.
"There are lots of people working on it, but in my view that hasn't happened yet," he says.
Alongside the smaller start-ups typically supported by Mr Scriven's fund, the bigger technology players are beginning to show more interest in humanitarian applications for their technology.
Google recently unveiled its drone programme, which it suggests could be used to airdrop aid into disaster zones.
Last year, the search giant unveiled Project Loon - a plan to deliver internet connections to hard-to-reach places through a network of high-altitude balloons.
Both are in the early stages of development. But aid workers say we are seeing a sea-change in the role of technology in humanitarian relief, and how it can empower those affected by the disaster they find themselves in.
"[Disaster relief] is no longer about just dropping items on people and leaving them to it," says the Red Cross's Sharon Reader.
"There has been a huge shift in the aid world in seeing people who are affected by a crisis not as victims but as people who have the capacity to look after themselves."
Sergio Ramos' controversial finish put Zinedine Zidane's side ahead before Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty.
However, substitute Yannick Carrasco sent the Champions League final into extra-time with a close-range finish.
Cristiano Ronaldo struck the winning penalty after Juanfran had missed.
In the shootout, Lucas Vazquez, Marcelo and Gareth Bale scored for Real, with Griezmann, Gabi and Saul Niguez replying to make it 3-3.
After Ramos stepped up to make it 4-3, Juanfran hit the post, leaving Ronaldo with the chance to win the cup.
The competition's all-time leading scorer kept his composure to win it - his third individual Champions League triumph following on his from his successes with Manchester United in 2008 and Real in 2014.

Zidane, a Champions League winner with Real as a player in 2002, replaced Rafael Benitez as manager at the Bernabeu in January, with Real still reeling from a bruising 4-0 hammering by Barcelona earlier in the season and facing the prospect of a second successive campaign without major silverware.
The 43-year-old finishes it as the seventh different manager to deliver a European Cup to Real.
As stylish as his side were going forward, they were just as impressive at the back as Atletico's attacking duo of Griezmann and Fernando Torres were starved of service before the interval.
Bale and Ronaldo repeatedly dropped back into midfield to help cut out the supply routes to Griezmann and Torres, while Karim Benzema also typified Real's work rate by doing his defensive duties.
Atletico were the better side after the break yet fortune was on Real's side as Pepe's rash challenge on Torres went unpunished and Stefan Savic stabbed another golden chance wide.
Bale was excellent as Real dominated the first half - powerful going forward and quick to help out at the back when required.
The Wales international was a danger at set pieces while he was heavily involved as his side took the lead.
Despite having an effort cleared off the line, Bale faded after the break and he spent most of extra-time limping around the pitch with cramp, unsurprising considering his work rate.
Yet he still put himself forward for the decisive shootout - and scored with a cool, low finish to help his team to a famous win.
Three weeks ago, Atletico were on course for a La Liga and Champions League double, yet Diego Simeone's side end the season without a trophy after the most heartbreaking of defeats.
Having finished three points behind champions Barcelona in Spain, they are left to reflect on what might have been despite an impressive second-half performance at the San Siro.
Griezmann became more dangerous but his missed penalty proved crucial, even though Carrasco later levelled after Juanfran's brilliant volleyed cross.
It is the third time Atletico have reached the final and failed to win yet the future remains bright, with Simeone likely to remain in charge next season despite earlier reported interest from Premier League clubs.
His task this summer will be keeping his assets, with Griezmann and midfielder Saul having been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.
England's Mark Clattenburg had his work cut out as he refereed a tempestuous derby, which saw eight bookings.
Real defender Pepe was at his theatrical best from the start as he tried to influence the Premier League official, who also had to calm down Simeone after Dani Carvajal's early foul on Griezmann.
Ramos put Real ahead from what looked like an offside position but Clattenburg's assistant kept his flag down.
However the 41-year-old from County Durham, who will be officiating at Euro 2016, was right to award the penalty which saw Griezmann hit the underside of the bar in the 47th minute.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane: "I've got a phenomenal squad who have fought and worked incredibly hard.
"We went into the game in good shape. Towards the end we suffered physically. The players had cramps but that's normal. Mentally, there's a lot of pressure. You have to fight and we've got there by working hard.
"Yes, I've dreamed about this. I'm positive. The president has given me the opportunity to coach this great club.
"I've got a phenomenal squad who have fought and worked incredibly hard. Having players with this kind of talent, you can achieve something great."
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone: "You do your best, you try to do what you can, you get to two finals and you lose them both.
"One you lose 4-1, even though it was 2-1 for a long time, the other you lose on penalties.
"This cycle for me at Atletico, two finals in three years is, actually a marvellous achievement, but I am not happy with what I have achieved."

But despite being born with Erb's palsy, a condition which affects the main nerves in the upper arm, the 25-year-old has racked up a record of 14 wins and only one loss in 15 professional fights to date.
His success has earned him a fight for unbeaten Jack Catterall's WBO intercontinental super-lightweight title on Friday.
"When I was born, my shoulder was stuck on my mum's hip, and the midwife just pulled me out by my head as hard as she could," the reigning English champion told BBC Wiltshire.
"As she did, my shoulder was dislocated and there was a lot of nerve and muscle damage to my right shoulder and due to that it hasn't grown properly.
"It's about three inches shorter than my left arm and it's quite a bit weaker. The muscles in it become very very tight, but I just try not to let it hold me back and keep working hard with it."
Hughes turned professional in 2010 after 70 fights in the amateur ranks, but his reasons for first getting in the ring as a child had little to do with dreams of forging a career in the sport.
"I did taekwondo when I was about five years old, and my dad took me along because it was sort of an exercise for the shoulder," Hughes said.
"Since I was born I had to do physiotherapy on it and obviously when you're a child you don't want to do those standard exercises, it's boring for a child.
"Then at about eight years old my dad took me along to the local boxing gym, Malmesbury Amateur Boxing Club, for the same reason, tricking me really into exercising it.
"I had my whole amateur career at Malmesbury and haven't looked back since. And it's my job now, so quite a funny profession for someone with my condition."
While taking Catterall's belt is his current goal, the Bristol-based boxer admitted he is also motivated by the desire to silence people who doubt his ability to compete.
"When I was born they told me I'd never be able to run in a straight line - I don't know why they said that, but that's what my parents were told - I'd never be able to have a manual job, I'd have to sit at a desk all my life, never be able to play contact sports," he said.
"When I first started boxing I just wanted to have a bout so just doing that was an achievement and that was proving people wrong.
"Most people would think you've got Erb's palsy, there's no way you can possibly be successful in a sport such as boxing and I just want to prove that yes, you can.
"As long as you're willing to put the work in, you can definitely achieve it."
Hughes goes into Friday's fight knowing that few are backing him to beat Lancashire's Catterall, who is ranked number four in the world by the WBO and will have a partisan Manchester crowd behind him.
"I've always been the underdog really, with my shoulder and everything, I'm going to every fight with a disadvantage and as an underdog, and I relish it," he said.
"I'm fighting in his backyard, and because it's so far I don't have a massive following that can travel up there - one of my friends can't come cause he can't get anyone to cover milking the cows at the farm.
"Jack's number one in Britain and all that, but if I beat him I become number one. That's what I'm aiming for.
"I know it's a very big challenge and he's a very good kid, but I believe that I can beat him."
Sharon May, 46, who taught at Irlam and Cadishead College, spent the money on gift vouchers "for her own purposes", a panel found.
She admitted three counts of fraud at Manchester Crown Court last March and was given a suspended sentence.
A professional conduct panel said the case amounted to "serious dishonesty".
The National College for Teaching and Leadership professional conduct panel concluded May's actions had "deprived vulnerable pupils of public monies that had been allocated to enhance their educational needs".
May, who was also a special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCo), had failed to show respect for the rights of those pupils and abused her position of trust, the panel added.
In October 2014, concerns were raised about the possible misuse of a grant that was given to the college to transform the way mental health support was given to children.
Funds taken from this and 1-2-1 Tuition budgets had been used to buy Trafford Centre vouchers, restaurant vouchers and vouchers for Center Parcs.
In Nov 2014, May then provided information to the local authority about this spending which was "false or misleading", the panel said.
She resigned on 27 February 2015.
In March last year, May admitted three counts of fraud, between 1 May 2010 and 3 December 2014, at Manchester Crown Court.
She was given a two-year suspended sentence and was ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
In December last year, the panel found a prohibition order was "both proportionate and appropriate".
It said that a review period "would not be appropriate" because May had been "responsible for dishonesty committed over several years, involving a very significant amount of public money allocated for the education of vulnerable pupils".
The 46-year-old was prohibited from teaching indefinitely.
Cyclone Mora is likely to hit the eastern coast early on Tuesday, the meteorological department said.
Port cities in the south-east have been asked to display the highest warning system known as "great danger level 10". Ports further west are on level 8.
The cyclone formed after heavy rains in Sri Lanka caused floods and landslides that killed at least 180 people.
The worst flooding in 14 years on the island has affected the lives of more than half a million people. More than 100 people remain missing.
In Bangladesh, people in Chittagong district have been flocking to nearly 500 cyclone shelters as warnings were announced on loudspeakers.
Schools and government offices are being used to shelter people, and residents of hilly areas are also being urged to evacuate.
Bangladesh profile
Flood-hit Sri Lankans fear more rain
Low-lying areas of Cox's Bazar, Chittagong and many other coastal districts are "likely to be inundated" by a storm surge of 1.2m-1.5m (4-5 feet) above normal levels, the meteorological department warned.
"We are targeting zero casualties and we will try our best to evacuate more than a million before the landfall," disaster management authority spokesman Abul Hashim told the AFP news agency.
He said nearly 300,000 people had already been moved to cyclone shelters.
Though Bangladesh is used to cyclones, many people don't live in dwellings sturdy enough to withstand bad weather, the BBC's South Asia editor Charles Haviland says.

But in truth, you are probably manipulated into doing so by publishers using clever machine learning algorithms.
The online battle for eyeballs has gone hi-tech.
Every day the web carries about 500 million tweets, 300 hours of YouTube video uploads, and more than 80 million new Instagram photos. Just keeping up with our friends' Facebook and Twitter updates can seem like a full-time job.
So publishers desperately trying to get us to read and watch their stuff in the face of competition from viral videos and pictures of cats that look like Hitler are enlisting the help of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).
But do these technologies actually work?
Recent start-up Echobox has developed a system it says takes the human guesswork out of the mix. By analysing large amounts of data, it learns how specific audiences respond to different articles at different times of the day.
It then selects the best stories to post and the best times to post them.
Echobox claims its system generates an average 71% gain in referral traffic from Facebook and a 142% increase from Twitter. The software is already being used by publishers such as Vogue, Le Figaro and Telegraph Media Group.
"Imagine a superhuman editor with an incredibly deep understanding of its audience, but 100 times faster," says Antoine Amann, Echobox founder and chief executive.
"The data we use is both historical and real-time. For instance, our system will have a strong understanding of what type of [publishing] times worked well in the past, whilst at the same time analysing what's currently trending on the web."
Anne Pican, digital publisher at French daily newspaper Le Figaro, one of the firm's clients, says they have already seen benefits.
"Social media optimisation has been a major headache," she says. "Not only is it extremely complex but it's a lot of guesswork and requires a more scientific approach.
"Since using Echobox we've seen a major upswing in our traffic and saved valuable time."
Traditional newspapers facing dwindling print circulations are particularly keen to attract new digital audiences.
The New York Times (NYT), for example, has built Blossom, an intelligent "bot" constructed inside the messaging app Slack.
It uses machine learning to predict how blog posts and articles will perform on social media. It can also tell editors which ones to promote.
If a journalist sends Blossom a direct message, such as "Blossom Facebook?", the bot will respond with a list of links to stories it believes will do well on the social media platform at that time.
According to its developers, Blossom posts get about 380% more clicks than ones it doesn't recommend.
What this type of historical and real-time analysis shows is that certain headlines, photos and topics attract more attention than others on different devices at different times of the day with different audiences.
Predicting this without the help of machine learning computers is very tricky.
Programs such as Chartbeat and Echobox also give publishers the ability to test different headlines and promotional tweets for the same story in real time.
And programs like SocialFlow - used by some sections of the BBC website - apply algorithms to try to anticipate when the social media audience will be most receptive to an update.
It can then automatically post the message at the "optimum" time, measure how many people look at the post, and crucially, how many bother to click through to the original article.
But does using data analytics to learn about reader and viewer behaviour, then make publishing decisions based on that analysis, really count as AI?
The NYT is staying tight-lipped about the exact workings of the bot, citing intellectual property reasons, but Colin Russel, a senior data scientist at the newspaper and Blossom's main designer, says: "We do characterise it as AI.
"We're emulating what a team of editors would do if they had the time enough and a whiteboard big enough to observe and enumerate all the stories, all their history of posting, and all possible places they could be posted.
"It's definitely an artificial intelligence."
Echobox also describes its service as "artificial intelligence meets online publishing".
But Tom Cheesewright, a futurist and head of consultancy firm Book of the Future, describes such tech as "more of a tool than an intelligence".
"I'd argue this is probably the very outer edges of what might be called AI. Here, a more prosaic term like machine learning or predictive analytics might be more appropriate."
Semantics aside, Richard Reeves, managing director at the Association of Online Publishers, believes this kind of tech could have a positive impact on the industry.
"Publishers are faced with the dual challenge of increased competition for user attention and a diminishing pool of resources.
"This makes it essential for publishers not only to make the most of their archived content, but also to deliver targeted content that aligns with user needs.
"Thanks to recent developments in AI, publishers are starting to achieve this balance by using advanced new tools."
If you feel there's just too much content to choose from, you could let others do the choosing for you. For example, German publishing group Axel Springer and tech giant Samsung have joined forces to develop the Upday mobile news app.
New users specify what kind of topics they like, then a team of human editors, backed up by computer algorithms, curates content from 1,200 different sources, including Le Figaro, Der Spiegel and The Economist.
And Japanese tech firm SmartNews aggregates stories from 1,500 publications, highlighting those that are being most widely read and shared by others - crowdsourced news as it were.
One solution, of course, is simply to switch off all your gadgets and read a good book.

He was due for release on Tuesday, having agreed to be deported after serving half of his 13-year sentence.
But it has now emerged that the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd did not intend to deport Ibori to Nigeria until he handed over £89m of "proceeds of crime".
A High Court judge said attempts to detain him were "quite extraordinary".
Ordering Ibori to be immediately freed from prison, Mrs Justice May said: "You don't hold someone just because it is convenient to do so and without plans to deport them."
A Home Office application that Ibori be electronically tagged and subject to strict curfew conditions was also rejected after the judge accepted arguments that the home secretary was attempting to misuse her immigration and deportation powers.
Ibori, a former London DIY store cashier, was jailed for fraud totalling nearly £50m in April 2012.
He evaded capture in Nigeria after a mob of supporters attacked police but was arrested in Dubai in 2010 and extradited to the UK - where he was prosecuted based on evidence from the Metropolitan Police.
On Wednesday, the Home Office's barrister said the government was concerned that Ibori might "frustrate confiscation proceedings" and wanted him kept in jail or subject to strict controls on his movement.
But it emerged in court that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which is pursuing the confiscation proceedings, was "neutral" about Ibori's release and possible deportation.
Ian MacDonald QC, representing Ibori, said: "The Secretary of State has taken it upon herself. There is no objection from (the CPS) for release."
"This is extraordinary", Mrs Justice May said. "They (the CPS) don't care."
"Why doesn't the Secretary of State just send him back?" she asked. "He wants to go. She wants him to go".
The conviction of James Ibori followed a government anti-corruption campaign led by the Department for International Development (DfID) 10 years ago.
But earlier this year the Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, demanded a review of the evidence following allegations that police took bribes and prosecutors covered it up.
"The review team found material to support the assertion that a police officer received payment in return for information," the CPS admitted in September.
In court on Wednesday, Ibori's barrister, Ivan Krolic, explained how another defendant in the fraud case had appealed against conviction on the grounds that "police officers in the investigations had been corrupt".
"The court of appeal rejected that after counsel for the Crown indicated that there was nothing to support the allegation," Mr Krolic explained.
"And then it turned out there was," Mrs Justice May interjected. "Yes", Mr Krolic replied.
Ordering Ibori's release, Mrs Justice May said: "The Secretary of State appears to have take it upon herself that Mr Ibori does remain in this country, in apparent contradiction of the order served earlier this year to deport him."
"The position of the Secretary of State, as very candidly set out by Mr Birdling (representing the home secretary), is that she accepts that there is an argument that she has no power to detain him."
"I have decided that the balance of convenience falls heavily in favour of his immediate release.
"I am not prepared to impose conditions involving tagging or curfews."
The judge said the matter of Ibori's deportation should be heard before the end of January.

He directed films such as Blood Feast, The Gruesome Twosome and Two Thousand Maniacs.
Gordon Lewis died in his sleep at his home in Pompano Beach, Florida, his spokesman James Saito confirmed.
The director pioneered the horror genre in the 1960s known as the "splatter film," which intentionally focused on gore and gruesomeness.
Blood, violence and nudity usually featured heavily in his films - many of which he financed himself.
Other horror films directed by Gordon Lewis included A Taste of Blood, The Wizard of Gore, Colour Me Blood Red and Just for the Hell of It.
John Waters, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn are among the modern-day filmmakers who were inspired by his work.
Gunn posted his condolences on Twitter, writing: "RIP Herschell Gordon Lewis, the creator of splatter films and the director of Blood Feast & Two Thousand Maniacs. He changed cinema."
Gordon Lewis was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1929.
He went on to study journalism in college and became a professor of English literature at Mississippi State University.
The director briefly worked for a radio station in Oklahoma before joining an advertising agency in Chicago, where he made TV commercials.
Gordon Lewis's first film credit came in 1959 with the release of The Prime Time, which he produced, and two years later, he directed his first movie - Living Venus.
He continued directing films for the next decade but took a break after 1972's The Gore Gore Girls to work in marketing.
He returned to filmmaking in 2002 with Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat.

The city council said there were "challenges" over the date next year, as the field would be used as a Champions League final fan zone.
Sir Ian said he hoped this did not mean a "serious change of attitude from the elected officials and the people they employ to service the city".
The council said it had not cancelled the event, which celebrates equality.
Sir Ian, who is appearing at Cardiff's New Theatre, said he had recently arrived back from India and China where he was visiting LGBT people who had had a difficult time with the authorities.
He said he was saddened to "come back to the United Kingdom and Wales and get a slight whiff of what I won't put any stronger than 'negativity'".
He said Pride "obviously belongs in the capital" and he hoped it would go ahead.
A Cardiff council spokesman said it had supported Pride Cymru since it began in 1999.
"The council is not looking to move Pride from Cooper's Field, but there will be some flexibility with events dates in next year's diary," he added.

The company's Long Products division, which supplies steel beams, railway tracks and other products, has written to its suppliers asking for a 30% cut in prices in the long term.
It wants an "immediate" price reduction of 10% on all purchases.
The company says market conditions have led to a "difficult business situation" at Longs Steel UK.
Tata says it is trying to transform the business but said it needs support from its "valued" suppliers.
The letter says: "Should you - for any reason - be unable to support us in our efforts, we will need to fully consider other options."
One recipient of the letter was Neil Smith from recruitment business Kinetic.
He said that in his 23 years as the company's boss he has "never received anything like this".
"You don't have valued suppliers offering valued services and then turn around and say take a 30% cut. That goes against any business maxim on the planet," he told the BBC.
In response a Tata Steel spokesman said: "Our Long Products unit has been in dialogue with suppliers for a month. Initially some were spoken to directly, others were contacted by letter to begin a consultation process.
"We have had an excellent response with positive and innovative ways we can work together.
"The current position in UK steel is no secret and has been explained in all communications with all partners."
Britain's steel industry: What's going wrong?
What is the outlook for Britain's steel industry?
The Federation of Small Business said it recognises the challenges faced by the steel industry but called for Tata to treat its suppliers with "utmost sensitivity".
John Allan, national chairman at the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "The FSB has consistently condemned the practices of some large companies towards their supply chains and we are deeply concerned by this latest example.
"Small businesses rely on the integrity of their bigger customers when it comes to honouring agreed contracts and paying up in full and on time."
Last month Tata Steel announced nearly 1,200 job losses at its plants in Scunthorpe and Lanarkshire.
Nine hundred jobs will be lost at the firm's plant in Scunthorpe. The remaining 270 jobs will go in Motherwell and Cambuslang.

Construction work has begun to transform a derelict health centre at the entrance to the castle into a state-of-the-art visitor centre.
It is hoped that the £3m redevelopment project will help to tell the story of the county's history and heritage.
BBC Newsline's Julian Fowler reports.
StepChange, which hears from half a million people in financial difficulty each year, said dealing with housing problems and job losses due to stress made up the bulk of that figure.
It added the government could save £3bn if it offered people effective help.
The Treasury said it had "taken a series of steps" to help those in debt.
StepChange, which offers free advice on how to overcome debt problems, analysed the records of more than 100,000 of its clients to calculate how much so-called "problem debt" was costing the UK.
Problem debt is defined as debt that people have taken on but cannot afford to repay as required.
StepChange estimated that the strain it puts on mental health, employment and housing amounted to £8.3bn each year.
The biggest cost caused by problem debt, the charity said, was having to rehouse - and provide higher housing benefit payments for - people who lose their home after falling behind on mortgage or rent payments.
The next highest set of costs related to employment. StepChange estimated a total £2.3bn cost for the money paid by employers and the authorities when someone takes time off work because of the stress of dealing with debt, and the benefits paid if the job is subsequently lost.
Other costs it factored in were for NHS mental health treatment, payments prompted by divorce and other relationship breakdowns, and the costs of children being taken into care
Approximately 2.9 million people in the UK are estimated to have some form of problem debt, and StepChange said it expected there would have been a 20% year-on-year rise in those using its services by the end of 2014.
The charity's chief executive, Mike O'Connor, said problem debt was a "brake on people's capacity to work, or to return to work, a brake on aspiration and a brake on potential".
StepChange also called for a government action plan on debt to help people through times of crisis, encourage more saving and support more free advice.
A spokesman for the Treasury told the BBC that "a key part of the government's long-term economic plan was to boost hardworking people's financial security at all stages of life".
He said the Money Advice Service was funding and co-ordinating a range of debt advice services and that the Financial Conduct Authority had been given "robust powers" to protect people using debt management firms.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust, which runs the National Debtline, said: "The human cost of this problem on people's health, relationships and quality of life simply cannot be calculated.
"Free advice provided at the earliest stage possible is the best way to limit the damage that unmanageable debt is causing, both to our lives and our economy."
Wing James conceded a try from an intercepted pass against Scarlets on Friday, but his break then set up Alex Cuthbert for the winning score.
The 28-year-old won the last of his 10 Wales caps in 2010.
"He's playing really well and I'd like to think he has given some selection headaches [to Wales]," Wilson said.
"He's been outstanding for a number of games for us this season and credit to him, he threw an intercept pass that he'd be disappointed with, but the game he had after that was superb."
Having been in the international wilderness for five seasons, James was a surprise inclusion in Wales' World Cup training squad.
But a foot injury meant he was unable to train over the summer and he was eventually released to his region in early August for further treatment.
He was fit enough to start the first game of the Pro12 season for the Blues, scoring a try against Zebre, but limped off after 38 minutes and was out for the next eight weeks.
James has been ever present since his comeback in late October, adding another four tries and catching the eye on several occasions.
With just over a month to go until the start of the Six Nations, James' latest fine display came in front of Wales assistant coach Rob Howley at the Arms Park.
He made the crucial break down the left flank before Cuthbert burrowed his way over the tryline to give the Blues a shock 29-27 win over Pro12 leaders Scarlets.
"Tom James played particularly well," said Howley. "When he had the ball he created opportunities and looks quite sharp."
Howley said he had also been impressed by the performance of Rhys Patchell, who converted Cuthbert's try to secure victory.
"He's a young talent," he said of the twice-capped 22-year-old fly-half or full-back.
"He controlled the game in the second half and landed a superb conversion from the touchline. He's got a great kicking game and the ability to put others in space."
English sixth seed Wade recovered from losing the first leg of each set to produce finishes of 84, 120 and 62.
Eighth seed Mensur Suljovic and ninth seed Robert Thornton also progressed.
Suljovic overcame Dutchman Ron Meulenkamp 3-0, while Thornton beat Austria's Zoran Lerchbacher by the same score.
They joined world number one Michael Van Gerwen and 16-time world champion Phil Taylor in the last 32.

Ordinarily in November, few sun loungers would be unoccupied under the umbrellas that line the shores of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Most would be filled with Russian and British holidaymakers escaping the cold weather at home.
But now most tourists have disappeared.
"The beach is empty. It was full until a few days ago but the Russians have all gone," says Richard Bourne from Wales, who is here sunbathing with his wife.
"I feel so sorry for the people," he goes on. "I don't know how the hotels will survive the coming weeks."
Not far away, the bars and clubs of Naama Bay pump out loud music to ever-diminishing numbers of customers. Souvenir sellers and diving tutors sit idle with worried expressions.
"There's no business," bemoans Raed, who runs a store selling Pharaonic knick-knacks - from plastic scarabs to papyrus scrolls - that are usually popular with European visitors.
The resort is increasingly deserted after the plane crash which led the UK, Russia and several other countries to suspend flights here.
All 224 people onboard a Russian charter jet were killed when it came down over the north of the rugged Sinai peninsula on 31 October.
Suspicions that a bomb could have been planted onboard have raised concerns about security at Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
In recent days, airlines have made special arrangements to fly out tens of thousands of passengers - without bringing in new arrivals.
"On a normal basis we would be 90% full right now, everyone would be working and everyone would be happy," says Amr Darwish, an owner of the Terrazzina beach club.
He worries he might have to lay off staff in the near future.
"We don't know when the tourists are going to be able to come back. You can't make a business plan for next week, let alone next month or next year," he adds.
According to the tourism ministry, Egypt stands to lose 2.2bn Egyptian pounds ($280m) a month after the cancellation of flights from Russia and Britain.
Two-thirds of tourists to Sharm el-Sheikh come from these two countries. The destination earns about a third of Egypt's total proceeds from tourism.
It was able to recover from previous shocks, including a series of deadly militant bombings along the Red Sea coast between 2004 and 2006 and a killer shark attack.
In the political turmoil since the 2011 uprising, which overthrew the long-time leader, President Hosni Mubarak, the resort has proven resilient compared to other popular attractions like the Giza Pyramids and Luxor.
Yet with the Egyptian economy still in a fragile state, the effects of the latest setback will be deeply felt.
Workers in Sharm el-Sheikh - from taxi drivers to hotel receptionists - come from across the country and send salaries home. Tourism is a vital source of foreign currency.
"This couldn't have come at a worst time," says Angus Blair of the Signet Institute, a Cairo-based economic think-tank.
"Egypt needs this [resort] economically in terms of employment and foreign exchange revenues.
"It will definitely damage sentiment and lead to problems at the central bank because clearly they're already under stress trying to access foreign currency for trade."
This week a senior Russian official warned it would take "several months, as a minimum" for Russian flights to Sharm el-Sheikh to resume as the investigation into what caused the crash continues.
He said it would be impossible to radically revise Egypt's security system quickly.
Concerns have been raised about baggage scanning procedures and searches at an entry gate for food and fuel for aircraft at Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
There are some hopes that in the short-term, Arab tourists and those from central Europe can be attracted to the resort in greater numbers.
However most business owners accept the reality is that they must brace themselves for another tough period ahead.
"It will take us time to recover but a place like this never dies," says Mr Darwish. "It's a nice resort with great weather. We have the sea, the corals, the desert. It's magical."
The Bournes, visiting from Wales, also believe in the enduring appeal of Sharm el-Sheikh - even though their holiday has been overshadowed by the plane crash which happened a day after they arrived. Their return home has been delayed by at least a day.
"This could happen anywhere, couldn't it?" Jenny Bourne comments stoically.
"I would come back again next year," her husband, Richard, says. "They just need to sort that airport out."
Egypt is counting on other tourists adopting a similar attitude.
Police say "extensive investigations" led them to conclude 350 people should have been in the Kensington tower block on the night of the blaze on 14 June.
That night, 14 residents were not in the building, leaving at least 80 people dead or missing, the Met said.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Chalmers, leading the Met's operation, described the task as "unprecedented".
In the update to its operation, which includes a criminal investigation into why the fire began, police said the coroner had formally identified 32 bodies.
"You can't listen to the families and to the 999 calls and not want to hold people to account for a fire that should not have happened," said Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy.
Speaking after the briefing, Cdr Cundy denied claims from former residents and politicians that the number killed in the tragedy could be far higher than 80.
"We've been working tirelessly to ascertain how many people died in the fire," he said, describing the night as one where "the lives of so many changed forever".
Labour MP David Lammy told BBC's Newsnight in June that he was "sympathetic" to the view that the number of dead was being covered up.
Scotland Yard believes around 10 people managed to escape the tower "but for a number of different reasons" were not willing to come forward.
The government has promised not to conduct immigration checks on survivors and those coming forward with information in a bid to aid the investigation.
It has also said tenants illegally subletting flats in the tower would not face charges.
Cdr Cundy said the Met's investigations would "not be hampered in any way" by a separate judge-led public inquiry into the blaze.
"We are absolutely determined to do everything new can to identify what offences have been committed," he said.
"We will seize information for wherever it comes from."
Detectives said they were looking at "every aspect of fire safety" at Grenfell - including fire doors, exit routes and emergency procedures.
So far, 140 witnesses have been spoken to, with plans to interview the 650 firefighters and 300 police officers involved in the rescue operation, and all residents.
The retired judge leading the public inquiry, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, said it would seek to discover the truth about what happened at Grenfell Tower, "so that we can learn lessons for the future".
Sir Martin recently held a meeting with residents also attended by the Met. The first public hearings are expected to be held in September.
By Tom Symonds, BBC home affairs correspondent:
Since the fire, the claim that 150 or more people lost their lives has persisted.
After all, there is no official register of those living in the tower and a list provided by Kensington and Chelsea Council has proved to be inaccurate.
As a result, it was crucial that police worked out how many people should have been in the tower that night.
Their estimate of 350 is far fewer than the 500 to 600 people claimed by some. And 14 people, police say, were out for the night.
Police also say that many of the flats were not family-sized, but one or two-bed properties, which may explain the belief that more people were living there.
It has also been said that sub-letting may have resulted in the tower having a "hidden" population. Police have identified 10 people who didn't want to come forward to confirm they had survived.
The police have repeatedly explained their methodology, which has not been challenged.
Unless major flaws are found in the way detectives have attempted to get the truth, its likely the final number of dead at Grenfell Tower will be around 80.
Cdr Cundy said the Grenfell investigation was "probably one of the biggest investigations the Metropolitan Police has conducted outside of a terror attack".
There are 250 specialist investigators working on the Met's operation, including the process of identifying those who died, and finding out how the fire started.
Scotland Yard said forensic pathologists were sieving through debris in the building to look for human remains.
"Phase one" of the operation - removing identifiable bodies - has now been completed.
All remains have been scanned for objects which may be used to identify victims, such as surgical implants, personal jewellery, glasses and teeth.
Cdr Cundy said officers involved "can't help but have an emotional attachment to this case".
The police investigation into the causes of the fire is also continuing, including an examination of "all criminal offences that may have been committed".
Olive Cooke, 92, joined the Royal British Legion when she was 16 and still sells poppies from the cathedral ahead of every remembrance week.
Mrs Cooke, of Fishponds, will receive the honour from Bristol's Lord Mayor, Councillor Alistair Watson.
She is thought to be one of the UK's longest-serving poppy sellers.
The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, Sarah Watson, have invited Mrs Cooke for afternoon tea at the Mansion House where she will be presented with her medal.
The honour recognises people in Bristol whose voluntary and community work or charitable acts serve the city.
Mrs Cooke has already received a Points of Light award from the prime minister and a Gold Star award from the Bristol Post in recognition of her tireless efforts.
She was originally inspired by her father who helped to set up the Bedminster branch of the Royal British Legion.
Her first husband Leslie Hussey-Yeo was a sailor in the Royal Navy who had just returned from two-and-a-half years in Hong Kong when they met.
He was planning to leave the service and settle down but the outbreak of World War Two meant he had to continue serving on the submarines.
Mrs Cooke became a war widow at the age of 21 when he was killed during the Sicily invasion in March 1943.
His death led Mrs Cooke to fully commit herself to the Royal British Legion.
The South Island has seen hundreds of tremors, including a 6.3-magnitude quake, after the initial one struck after midnight on Monday.
The epicentre is northeast of Christchurch, near the town of Kaikoura which has been cut off by landslides.
There are believed to be up to 1,000 tourists stranded in the town.
Military helicopters and a navy ship are being sent to evacuate them and others from Kaikoura.

The aftershocks have left some communities without power and water, although authorities are slowly restoring supplies.
Prime Minister John Key described the scene in Kaikoura as "utter devastation" while flying over the area. He said the damage bill will likely be in the "billions of dollars", according to a statement seen by Reuters.
GeoNet, a government-funded project monitoring earthquakes, said the first earthquake was actually two related tremors, and that aftershocks would continue over the next few months.
As the aftershocks keep coming, Kiwis up and down the country are sharing the same emotions.
Exhaustion from a sleepless night, concern for those still cut off from communication, and sadness for the two people who lost their lives. But there is also real relief.
This earthquake was greater in magnitude than 2011's Christchurch tremor, but it didn't bring the same level of devastation.
The cost of rebuilding will be huge - major parts of New Zealand's infrastructure have been twisted and snapped out of shape.
But as is often the case when disaster strikes, New Zealand's people have pulled together, checked on their neighbours and offered each other a safe haven.
Authorities spent all of Monday rescuing and evacuating residents along the east coast.
New Zealand media reported that a 100-year-old woman and her daughter-in-law were pulled out alive from their home in Kaikoura, after the house collapsed in the first earthquake. The younger woman's husband died.
A woman also died at Mount Lyford, southwest of Kaikoura, though there are reports she may have died from an existing medical condition.
Waves of around 2m (6.6ft) hit the coast shortly after the first earthquake. Authorities have since lifted a tsunami alert, but are still warning people to stay away from the shoreline.
Residents in Christchurch and surrounding towns have rushed to stock up on basic supplies. Some schools in the affected area have remained closed on Monday.
Kaikoura, a popular tourist destination with a population of about 3,600, saw its main road blocked by landslides, with telecommunications, water and power supplies cut off.
The operation to rescue those that remain stuck there could take several days, with each NH90 helicopter being deployed only able to carry 18 people at a time, Air Commodore Darryn Webb told the Associated Press news agency.
Video footage shot from a helicopter showed three cows left stranded on a tiny island of grass after the surrounding earth collapsed from landslides near Kaikoura.
Mr Key, the prime minister, told reporters that he believed the number of fatalities would remain low, while civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee said damage to infrastructure appeared to be the biggest problem.
One expert told TVNZ that the low number of fatalities may have been due to the fact that the first quake struck in the middle of the night.
"People were safe in their homes, homes might get damaged but they're safer for the people inside," said Ken Elwood from the University of Auckland.
The quake also caused damage in Wellington on the North Island, where the city's central business district (CBD) remained quiet on Monday as workers cleared debris and checked buildings.
Resident Adam Roland told the BBC: "The CBD's been closed off so most people are either working from home or not working today."
GeoNet said the first quake was the strongest to have hit New Zealand since a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2009 in a remote area of the South Island.
The US Geological Survey measured it at magnitude 7.8, while GeoNet put it at 7.5.
New Zealand lies on the Ring of Fire, the fault line that circles virtually the entire Pacific Rim bringing frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions.
Christchurch is still recovering from a 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre.
The rate of unemployment remained at 5.1%, maintaining a decade-low rate.
Some 31.42 million are in work, 478,000 up on a year ago. The employment rate is 74.1%, the joint highest since current records began in 1971.
Average earnings went up by 2.1% in the year to January including bonuses, 0.2% higher than the previous month.
Excluding bonuses, the increase was 2.2%.
"With the Chancellor [George Osborne] setting the backdrop to this afternoon's Budget as one where the global 'storm clouds' are gathering, today's labour market figures offer a ray of sunshine," said Scott Bowman, UK economist at Capital Economics.
He added that the UK's jobs recovery remained "in full swing", but cautioned that wage growth was "still fairly subdued by past standards, especially considering how much the labour market has tightened recently".
The East of England saw the biggest fall in the number of unemployed people, down by 15,000, followed by the North East of England, down by 11,000. However, Scotland saw an increase of 16,000 in the number of jobless people.
The North East still has the highest rate of unemployment, at 7.8%, and the East of England has the lowest, at 3.6%.
In all, 22.94 million people were working full-time, 302,000 more than a year earlier, while 8.48 million were working part-time, an increase of 177,000 on a year earlier.
The number of people on the claimant count in February fell by 18,000 to 716,700, said the ONS.
The unemployment figures are based on a large survey, so they are estimates rather than precise figures.
For example, the figure of a 28,000 fall in unemployment has a margin of error of plus or minus 79,000, which means the ONS is 95% confident that the actual change in unemployment is between an increase of 51,000 and a fall of 107,000.
Earlier this month, the US Labor Department said the US economy added 242,000 jobs in February, far better than the 190,000 expected by economists.
The US unemployment rate remains at 4.9%, an eight-year low.
Eurostat, the EU's statistical agency, has said the eurozone's unemployment rate in January fell to its lowest rate since August 2011.
The jobless rate in the 19-country eurozone declined to 10.3% in January from 10.4% in December, while the number of people unemployed in the eurozone fell by 105,000 to 16.65 million.
The tourism agency said many events sold out as the spotlight shone on the country.
Events such as the Commonwealth Games, Ryder Cup and the 700th anniversary of the battle of Bannockburn helped bring tourists from across the world.
There were 1,049 events in 2014, more than twice as many as in 2009.
New events included the European Festival of Brass, the MTV European Music Awards, McLaren 2014 and Pipefest.
Existing events were also able to extend their programmes as a result of additional Homecoming funding including Borders Book Festival, Big Burns Supper in Dumfries and Doors Open Days.
The 2009 Year of Homecoming was mired in controversy after economic impact figures were exaggerated and the flagship Gathering event went bust.
It will be several months before the economic impact figures for Homecoming Scotland 2014 are published to establish if the £5.5m public funding was a worthwhile investment.
Chairman of VisitScotland, Mike Cantlay, said: "There really was no place like home for the people of Scotland during 2014.
"We welcomed the world in their millions and boy did we have fun doing it. We opened our arms and laughed and cheered with our guests.
"We gave them directions, provided sunscreen and sometimes the odd umbrella. We didn't just show them a good time - we joined in."
Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing said: "Homecoming has been a huge success, bringing millions together in a joint celebration of all that is great about our country and showcasing all of our unique attractions and icons to a massive worldwide audience.
"The eyes of the world have been on Scotland like never before in 2014 and working together we will benefit from these experiences as we begin the Year of Food and Drink in 2015 and beyond."
The Chiefs vice-captain becomes the fourth All Black to win the prize.
Retallick, 23, beat team-mate Julian Savea, Ireland's Jonathan Sexton, and South Africa pair Willie le Roux and Duane Vermeulen to the award.
It seals a hat-trick of honours for New Zealand, who were named team of the year, with Steve Hansen named coach of the year.
The second row follows in the footsteps of team mates Kieran Read, Dan Carter and Richie McCaw in receiving the honour.
World Rugby chairman Bernard Lapasset said: "Brodie Retallick has been at the heart of another hugely successful year for the All Blacks with his superb line-out skills, ball carrying ability and work at the breakdown playing a huge role in a June series win against England, the Rugby Championship title and a strong November series."
The engineering giant said 187 posts would be lost from its Inchinnan plant in Renfrewshire and a further 31 jobs from its facility in East Kilbride.
The cuts are the latest in a wave of redundancies at Rolls-Royce plants in Scotland, as part of restructuring.
In November, Rolls-Royce said it planned to shed 2,600 jobs worldwide over a period of 18 months.
Staff were informed of the latest planned job losses on Thursday.
Rolls-Royce currently employs about 700 people at its Inchinnan manufacturing facility and about 630 at East Kilbride.
The company has already announced plans to transfer East Kilbride employees to Inchinnan by the end of 2015.
A Rolls-Royce spokeswoman said: "In November last year we announced a restructuring of our Aerospace division as part of an intensified programme to improve operational efficiency and reduce cost across the group.
"As part of that process we continually review current workload and assess future customer demand to remain competitive.
"We have identified a requirement to reduce the headcount at our Inchinnan manufacturing facilities by approximately 90 during 2015 and 97 during 2016.
"We have also identified a requirement to reduce the headcount at our East Kilbride facility by 31 during 2015.
She added: "It is never an easy decision to propose reductions in our workforce and we will look to meet this requirement by voluntary means wherever possible.
"We will also explore all mitigation including redeployment to other sites and are offering full support to employees who are impacted by the changes."
Satoru Umeta, 24, was convicted of assaulting Rina Kawaei and Anna Iriyama, now both 19, along with a male staff member.
All three were seriously injured after Umeta lunged forward to slash them with a saw fitted with box cutter blades.
AKB48 holds the Guinness Record for being the world's largest pop group.
"The fear the victims had during the event, where they were meeting with fans, and the mental damage were significant," judge Takehiko Okada said, according to AFP news agency.
Umeta's lawyers said their client had shown signs of schizophrenia, AFP reported. Judge Okada said Umeta was frustrated over his unemployment, Kyodo news agency said.
The number 48 in AKB48 reportedly refers to the original number of singers in the group, although it has since expanded and now numbers about 140 rotating members, ranging from their teens to early 20s.
The group, which was founded in 2005, is hugely popular in Japan and other Asian countries.
AKB stands for Akihabara, the technology district of Tokyo, where the group has its own theatre. Members perform there almost every day.
Every year tens of thousands of fans vote on who gets to join the group from a pool of more than 200 candidates, in an event that is widely covered by national media.
Members have to abide by strict rules set by their management, and are not allowed to date.
When one of its members, Minami Minegishi, was caught spending the night with her boyfriend, she shaved her head in an act of contrition and apologised to fans in an online video.
"When I came here as a student nine years ago I felt that I had come into a very multicultural society and really wanted to be part of it.
"I miss the food in Morocco and being around people who have known me my whole life, but London is my home now. My closest friends from university and from Morocco live here now, my values align more with London and I love being in a very multicultural environment where you get to meet people from all ends of the world."
"Although I left Ireland 57 years ago, I still regard this country as my home. My family has moved back and I miss them. They're part of my identity.
"Family is my community and has structured who I am."
"It's interesting the opportunity that moving home has given me to start over and edit my story and identity in fresh and exciting ways.
"I have moved about four or five times in my life; I've lived in countries in Africa, Asia and now, Europe. Flowers at my bedside, warmth, the smell of garlic and a sense of familiarity and light jazz music - that is home. A place of comfort, safety and beauty and a non-judgemental space where you can stare at the ceiling and know it's OK."
"What makes me feel comfortable here is that I can sleep in peace. I can walk alone at night with my handbag. There is no dust, no insects. Food, shelter and security are abundant."
"Getting to know a new place, learning a new language, landing a job, making new friends… these are processes that everyone goes through. It's just a matter of time before you start feeling at home."
"My father sought asylum in the UK after the Iranian revolution. This country welcomed him with open arms. Community here is about listening to each other's stories and treating each other with compassion and respect. I hope you find the same things here when you arrive."
"I love the diversity in London. When I'm on the bus - hearing different languages, seeing different faces - that richness is one of the things I find most beautiful about London.
"Welcome to the UK. I hope you find friends, safety, a community for yourself and become part of this tapestry of London life."
"My move to the UK from a village in Pakistan was a huge culture shock. My teacher was very helpful. She became another mother to me and encouraged me to work hard. I didn't even know how to write an essay, yet she gave me the courage to achieve. She made me realise that anything is possible.
"We who come from a Third World country often feel like we can't compete but we have all the abilities to accomplish our dreams."
"Moving from Turkey at a young age, I was excited to experience England. This ability here to experience two different cultures and feel safe in both - has made me feel like a global citizen.
"As an academic I am connected to friends and colleagues from all over the world and being part of this one global community is an honour and a privilege. I hope one day everyone can have this feeling of inclusion and belonging."
"We met when we were doing our master's degrees and are still friends. Don't believe the media narrative about people's perceptions of refugees and migrants. The average person on the street is friendly and accepting, and the UK is a very diverse place.
"Most people here are open and interested in who you are. Be yourself and, if you feel like it, share your stories."
"My grandfather came here just after World War Two, invited by Her Majesty to come and rebuild the country. He is now 90 years old, has five children, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
"When he arrived he worked in a factory making nuts and bolts to rebuild the East End. He realised that the food he was used to from India was not available, so he decided to do something about it and opened a shop to sell homemade food. The best thing you can do is to bring your food and recipes here. The UK loves food. We want to welcome you with food. Let's share some recipes."
"There is no one way to be a part of British society. The people here have so much heart and joy and wonder. People here will help connect you to the community. Being in Britain doesn't mean telling each other how to be, but sharing who you are with others.
"With shared experiences, we avoid misunderstandings and judgement, and we build a community together."
Karen Bradley's decision is a blow to the media mogul's hopes of having the £11.7bn deal waved through without further scrutiny.
Mr Murdoch already owns 39% of the satellite broadcaster.
An earlier attempt to take over Sky was abandoned in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.
Ms Bradley told the Commons that Ofcom's report into the deal found it risked the Murdoch family having "increased influence" over the UK's news agenda and the political process.
"On the basis of Ofcom's assessment, I confirm that I am minded to refer to a phase two investigation on the grounds of media plurality," she said.
The parties involved can make representations to the culture secretary until Friday 14 July, when she will make a further decision about referring the deal to the Competition and Markets Authority.
Ofcom said it had no concerns about Fox's genuine commitment to broadcasting standards, which Ms Bradley said was a second test for approving the deal.
As a result she told MPs she was "minded not to refer" the bid for a phase two investigation in relation to those concerns.
"While there are strong feelings among both supporters and opponents of this merger, in this quasi-judicial process, my decisions can only be influenced by facts, not opinions - and by the quality of evidence, not who shouts the loudest," she said.
Tom Watson, the shadow culture secretary, told the Commons that "nothing about this decision is a surprise" as he predicted the government would eventually allow the merger to go ahead.
He said if James Murdoch, who is both chairman of Sky and chief executive of Fox, could pass a "fit and proper" test, "then that says more about the rules than it does about Mr Murdoch".
"It's clear that the rules need to be reviewed and if the current Conservative government won't do that then the next Labour government will."
Mr Watson said undertakings from the Murdoch family were "not worth the newsprint they are written on" as he warned that lessons had not been learned from the phone-hacking scandal.
He also accused the Conservatives of forming "an implicit bargain" with the Murdochs as he pushed Ms Bradley to order part two of the Leveson Inquiry into phone-hacking.
The culture secretary claimed Mr Watson was making a "cynical" attempt to politicise the issue and to prejudge the decision.
Evan Harris, executive director of the lobby group Hacked Off, said it condemned Ms Bradley's failure to refer the bid on commitment to broadcasting standards grounds.
"The Secretary of State must now begin Leveson part two immediately, and allow that inquiry to report before considering this merger further," he said.
The deal was approved by European Commission competition authorities in April.
Shares in Sky closed 3.3% higher at 988p, valuing the company at almost £17bn.
Analysts at Citi said it was possible Fox could find a resolution to Ofcom's concerns before the 14 July deadline and avoid a lengthy inquiry.
"Ultimately this is a positive outcome for the Fox/Sky in the sense that it makes deal completion more likely," they said.
"Concerns about broadcasting standards would have been almost impossible to work around, while we believe the groups will be able to offer concessions that adequately address concerns about plurality."
The 18-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at Tannadice, having scored 13 goals in 59 appearances for the League Two side.
"He has versatility but it's his attacking threat which really caught my eye," said manager Jackie McNamara.
"Having watched his progress closely I'm convinced that he'll prove to be an excellent signing and entertain the United fans greatly."
United signed full-back Andy Robertson and forward Aidan Connolly from Queen's Park last summer, with the defender going on to win the SPFA young player of the year award and two caps for Scotland.
"It's of paramount importance that we continue to develop the younger players at Tannadice but we must also supplement that with other promising talent that becomes available," McNamara added on the club website.
"There were other clubs interested in Blair and it says everything about how we're developing players at Tannadice that he chose us as the best option for himself."
City rivals Dundee had also agreed terms with Spittal but the teenager opted for the side that finished fourth in the Premiership last season.
"Seeing how well Andy Robertson has progressed also played a part in my decision," he said.
"Dundee United allows you to develop regardless of age and the manager's vision for the club excites me. When I look at the talent already in the dressing room I cannot wait to meet up with them and start my Dundee United career."
World number 11 Dimitrov, 26, broke once in each set to beat his 22-year-old opponent, ranked 23rd, 6-4 7-5.
Kyrgios, also attempting to win his first Masters 1000 title, hit 31 unforced errors as he was outplayed.
In the women's final, Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza thrashed Romania's Simona Halep 6-1 6-0.
Kyrgios was the youngest Cincinnati finalist since Novak Djokovic in 2009.
But he could not reproduce the brilliance he displayed in beating world number two Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals.
And, with the second set poised at 5-5, the Australian hit his fourth double fault of the match on deuce, before sending a wild forehand over the baseline.
Dimitrov served out the final game to clinch the biggest win of his career as he prepares for the US Open, which starts on 28 August.
"In the big picture, it means a lot to me," said Dimitrov, who went through the tournament without dropping a set. "I'm pretty confident after that. This is what I've been practising for.
"I'm going to enjoy it for a day or two but then it's back to the routine and prepare for the US Open."
Earlier in the day, Spain's Muguruza put in an emphatic performance to see off world number two Halep.
Had she won, Halep would have replaced Karolina Pliskova at the top of the world rankings - but the 25-year-old was beaten in just 57 minutes.
After beating Britain's Johanna Konta in the quarter-final, Halep hit 20 unforced errors and struggled to find any rhythm.
Czech Pliskova, a semi-final loser to Muguruza, will remain world number one by a five-point margin over Halep as Muguruza moves up to third.
"I played so badly and she played so well. I am sorry for this match," Halep said.
"I got dominated. I couldn't control the points, that's why I got down in my confidence."
Muguruza said she felt "a little bit bad" for Halep but was "happy" to now be seen as the favourite for the US Open title.
She added: "It doesn't always happen that you win a tournament and then go ahead and win a Grand Slam, but I'm happy to have the confidence - it beats not having it."
Meanwhile, Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares lost their men's doubles final to French fifth seeds Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
Murray and Soares were beaten 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 in one hour and 37 minutes.
The third seeds, who lost in the second round at Wimbledon, had not dropped a set leading up to the final in Cincinnati.
Take-Two claimed the Open IV program that let people change, or mod, the game's basic elements aided cheats.
In response, players wrote thousands of negative reviews of the game and more than 77,000 signed a petition calling for Open IV to be left alone.
GTA creator Rockstar also put pressure on Take-Two to change its mind.
In a message placed on the GTA V chat forums, Rockstar said "discussions" with Take-Two had led to it ending the legal action.
The row blew up last week when the lead developer of Open IV said the mod kit was being withdrawn because it had been threatened with legal action by Take-Two.
At the same time, Take-Two took action that led to the closure of three sites that advertised themselves as a way for people to cheat when playing online versions of the game.
These extras let people get huge amounts of in-game cash and easily obtain items that otherwise took hours of playing to acquire.
Users of Open IV said Take-Two was wrong to regard the mod kit as a cheating tool because it was designed to work with only single-player versions of GTA.
In its forum message, Rockstar acknowledged this distinction and said its discussions with Take-Two had meant that the publisher had now "agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar's PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties".
Rockstar said it believed in "reasonable fan creativity" that let fans show their "passion" for its games.
Take-Two's decision was also influenced by Open IV's creators promising to work harder to stop the kit being used by people to cheat in online versions of GTA.
A small number of people had found a way to use Open IV to cheat in this way, lead developer Yuriy Krivoruchko told news site Motherboard.
The ending of the legal action was "good news", wrote Samuel Horti on the Rock, Paper Shotgun website.
"It's helped players produce some cracking mods and machinima [animation]," he said.
Horti added that the Rockstar statement was "carefully worded", perhaps so it could be reversed later on.
It might need to be, he said, because Take-Two and Rockstar faced a technical challenge when it came to policing add-ons for the game.
"How do Take-Two intend to allow single-player mods without leaving the door open to cheaters?" he asked.
The semi-professionals won 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier in Gibraltar last Tuesday.
"It was a bolt of lightning rather than a massive shock to the world," Rodgers said before Wednesday's return at home.
"Since I came in, the players have been brilliant, first-class, very humble guys, no ego, they're working hard."
Celtic have won three and drawn two pre-season friendlies since Rodgers' appointment in May, and he said defeat in his first competitive game last week was "no embarrassment".
Rodgers is confident the Scottish champions will prevail over two legs to play the winners of the tie between Zalgiris Vilnius of Lithuania and Astana of Kazakhstan in the third qualifying round.
"I don't take much notice," he said of the negative headlines. "My only focus is the players. It's not a disaster.
"For me, the most important thing is to get through. That's what we expect and want. It's about perspective and assessing over two games."
Rodgers expects the champions of Gibraltar to set up defensively and play on the break on Wednesday, and has urged Celtic's fans to be patient.
"The message for our players is similar to our supporters: after the first 20 minutes, if we don't score, we have to be patient.
"You can be an attacking team, but there are times when the ball can't go forward and it has to be circulated, but our team will be set up always to create and score goals.
"It might be 70 minutes before you break a team down. They will be similar to the first game, 11 players behind the ball, playing on the counter-attack, us having a lot of possession. But it will be a totally different game.
"The players did everything they could [last week] and we got done by one sucker punch. But I've been happy with the players in every game."
The Celtic manager is keen to add to his squad, but would not confirm or deny links to Liverpool full-back Jon Flanagan and Blackburn centre-back Shane Duffy.
He does not expect any new signings to be completed before Wednesday's game, though.
Before the first leg, Rodgers highlighted Celtic's lack of cover in central defence, with Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic missing through injury.
Former Start midfielder Kristoffer Ajer, who agreed to sign under previous manager Ronny Deila, has been used in central defence during pre-season friendlies.
"We experiment on the training field and in friendlies, but not tomorrow night. That's about getting the job done," said Rodgers, whose only senior signing to date has been striker Moussa Dembele from Fulham.
"We've already got some quality players here, but we want to bring in the right type of players to help the team. It's not about numbers but quality," he added.
"The market is pretty slow, but there's management of the squad here - you can't just stockpile players.
"There are a couple of players that we're looking at. We'll see how that develops over the coming days. We only want good players and that will always be dictated by the availability and the affordability of the player."
Dembele took over the centre-forward's role last week from Leigh Griffiths, who scored 40 times for Celtic last season.
The Scotland forward says he would prefer to play through the middle, but is happy to contribute to the team from a wider attacking role, and share the burden of providing the goals.
"I played [wide] a couple of times in pre-season and I enjoyed it," Griffiths said. "With Moussa up there, it gives me a bit more freedom to express myself and get on the ball to make things happen.
"Ultimately, I'm still a striker at heart, I'm not a winger, and he knows that. But the gaffer has his ideas, his tactics, and I can adapt to the formation he wants to play.
"The manager spoke before that with Moussa occupying a couple of centre-halves, that gives me more time to get on the ball and try to thread passes through, and make the runs in behind that I like doing.
"The gaffer said the focus on me last season to score goals was too much, but he's brought in Moussa now and once he gets one, he'll get a few."
Airbus UK Broughton suspended Ryan Wade over comments on his Twitter account.
Former Sunderland player Johnson, 28, admitted grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15 and was convicted of a charge of sexual touching.
Airbus said midfielder Wade, 28, had been "suspended with immediate effect pending further investigation".
The Twitter comments were made on Thursday, the day after Johnson was convicted at Bradford Crown Court.
Gwyn Derfel, secretary of the Welsh Premier League (WPL), said: "The Dafabet Welsh Premier League is aware of the alleged comments and the FAW's (Football Association of Wales) compliance department is looking into the matter."
The club, based in Broughton, Flintshire, said in a statement it did not "condone or support the comments".
It is understood the WPL is trying to gather evidence of the tweets.
The FAW has disciplinary powers and at the start of every season every player is sent a code of conduct on behaviour, which includes activity on social media.
Wade signed for Airbus almost four years ago and has made 28 appearances this season, scoring four times.
Everyone who attended that concert has been invited to apply for free tickets to the event on Sunday 4 June, which will include acts such as Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Little Mix and Black Eyed Peas.
Some of the concert-goers have been in touch with the BBC to share their experiences.
Joe Woolrich is looking forward to the gig, which he says will be a form of closure for him.
"It was a traumatic time for everybody involved. We were near to the explosion when it happened. My friend ran into the toilet to inform me. At first I thought it was another encore when I heard the loud boom and the screams.
"We ran from the explosion area to the other exit where there were wheelchairs at the top of the stairs and no way out. So we carried on down, and stuck around to try to help outside the arena before the emergency services arrived.
"It was absolute chaos, but everybody did what they could to help.
"The fact that Ariana is coming back so soon, has helped to reassure me we are stronger together.
"She is doing the victims, fans and the city of Manchester a great service."
Rachel Whorton's two daughters aged 10 and 18, want to attend but have so far been disappointed.
"They were at the original concert at Manchester Arena so they qualify for free tickets for the benefit concert.
"I have been on the phone to Ticketmaster since 9am this morning trying to get tickets. I didn't think they would want to go but they do and I think it will be good for them.
"I'm frustrated. All you hear is a a long automated message, and are then told that Ticketmaster is busy helping other customers before getting cut off.
"I don't understand why this process is so difficult. Surely they have records of who bought original tickets. I have even tried to contact them on social media without success."

Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there was still a gap "between what could be done and what some of us had expected should be done".
Nonetheless, he said they were "very close" to an agreement.
Informal talks are expected to continue ahead of the group's 15 June meeting.
The Brussels-based meeting was aimed at deciding whether Greece had done enough to receive a €7.5bn (£6.4bn; $8.3bn) loan plus debt relief.
The cash is vital for Greece to avoid defaulting on a debt repayment due in July.
To secure the funds, the country has had to enact a series of economic reforms.
The International Monetary Fund and Germany are reported to have disagreed over how to help ease the country's debts once its rescue programme ends next year.
The IMF's participation in Greece's latest bailout hinges on resolving this issue.
"The feeling was.... more work was needed to be able to have that kind of clarity that the financial markets understood and the Greek people understood (of) what to expect at the end of the programme period in terms of debt relief," Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said.
However, he also said he was optimistic that a definitive deal could be brokered by the time of the next formal meeting in June.
Figures released earlier this month showed that Greece had fallen back into recession for the first time since 2012.
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.1% in the first three months of the year after shrinking by 1.2% in the final quarter of 2016, the Eurostat figures showed.
Cardiff's defeat leaves Belfast five points off the pace with both teams having four games left.
The Giants twice face Cardiff on the final weekend of the season so if the Devils lose one of their other games, it could open the door to Belfast.
David Rutherford's hat-trick helped the Giants earn Sunday's win.
Colin Shields and Blair Riley also found the net for the home side, who trailed 1-0 after the first period.
Jeff Brown and Dan Spang netted for the Panthers, who were beaten 7-3 by the Giants on Friday night.
Brown scored the opener, but strikes from Rutherford and Shields saw the hosts take charge by the end of the second period.
Rutherford and Riley then netted, Spang got his name on the scoresheet, before Rutherford completed his treble.
The Giants are next in action on Friday night when they play Sheffield Steelers at the SSE Arena before hosting Coventry 24 hours later.
Cardiff face Fife away and still-in-contention Sheffield at home in their next two games before the back-to-back games against the Giants.
Firearms officer Carol Howard, 35, was "singled out and targeted" for nearly a year, a panel ruled last year. She has now decided to leave the police.
The Met said it "deeply regrets" the impact of the discrimination.
Ms Howard, of Purley, south London, brought a claim of discrimination at the Central London Employment Tribunal in 2014.
Her lawyer Kiran Daurka, of Slater and Gordon, said: "Carol is sad to leave the Metropolitan Police but her legacy to fellow officers is that her case has now led to a serious and thorough review of the way in which the MPS deals with discrimination complaints from officers."
In a statement, the Met said it "deeply regrets the impact the discriminatory conduct had on PC Howard, and wants to stress there is no room in the MPS for racism and sexism or victimisation".
The Met said it had agreed a final settlement against the officer's existing legal claims.
The force added that in September 2014 it said it would fully support Ms Howard's return to work, but after recent discussions it became clear she did not wish to continue her career with the Met.
The Met said: "The MPS respects PC Howard's decision and wishes her well in the future."
During the hearing last year, the panel was told that an internal report had been deliberately rewritten ahead of the tribunal.
An officer was asked to delete references in the report into discrimination related to race or sex, the panel said.
A judgement issued by the panel which heard the case said the Met "directly discriminated" against Ms Howard "on the grounds of sex and race" between 31 January and 29 October 2012.
A number of Ms Howard's complaints of "victimisation" were "well-founded", the tribunal added.
The 35-year-old had worked in the Diplomatic Protection Group (DPG), which provides protection for foreign embassies and missions in London.
Her superior, acting Insp Dave Kelly, subjected her to "a course of conduct which was detrimental to her", the panel said.
The panel also found that the Met also tried to "deflect" negative press by releasing information about Ms Howard.
While the force did not name PC Howard in a press statement, a draft version was altered to include more detail about her three arrests linked to a domestic dispute with her estranged husband.
After the tribunal last September Ms Howard received £37,000.
France has an estimated 500,000 Jews - the largest Jewish minority in Western Europe - and many of them are wondering now how safe it is to stay.
Four Jewish men were killed by Islamist gunman Amedy Coulibaly in a kosher supermarket in Paris on 9 January, two days after 12 people were shot dead at Charlie Hebdo magazine by two Islamist brothers.
Now troops have joined police protecting potential Jewish targets - notably synagogues and schools - in Paris, Brussels and Antwerp.
"It's the worst time for Jews here since World War Two," said Robert Ejnes, director of the Jewish umbrella organisation Crif in France. "They are angry and worried."
Last year more than 7,000 left to settle in Israel (what Jews call "Aliyah") - double the 2013 figure, he noted. That does not include French Jews who moved to the UK, US or other countries.
In contrast, the number of British Jews making Aliyah is a few hundred annually, and remains fairly stable.
Mr Ejnes said there was an "anti-Semitic" element to the anti-Israel protests in and around Paris last July, when Jewish shops were attacked near a synagogue in Sarcelles.
Many Muslims were enraged by Israel's bombardment of Gaza - an offensive against Hamas militants, which killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, including many women and children, while 72 Israelis also died.
Mr Ejnes told the BBC that some demonstrators were "against the very existence of Israel" - a degree of hostility going beyond any legitimate criticism of Israeli policy.
"We have very good relations with moderate Islam - but a problem with radicalisation of the [Muslim] youth," he said.
What is anti-Semitism?
The EU has a "working definition" of anti-Semitism to help authorities in member states, though it does not have legal force. It says anti-Semitism is a "certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews". It can be verbal or physical, or both, and targets Jewish individuals, or their property, or community institutions or religious facilities.
Most Jews surveyed by the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) regarded the following attitudes as anti-Semitic: "The Holocaust is a myth or has been exaggerated"; "Jews are responsible for the current economic crisis"; "Jews exploit Holocaust victimhood for their own purposes"; "Jews have too much power"; "Israelis behave like Nazis towards the Palestinians"; "Jews are not capable of integrating into society".
Anti-Semitism is also covered by the EU's 2008 framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia. That is a legal document.
It lists as a crime "publicly inciting to violence or hatred directed against a group of persons, or a member of such a group, defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin". Also punishable is: "publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes".
After this month's terror attacks in Paris, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls denounced "the new anti-Semitism".
It was fuelled by the internet, poverty in certain districts, and hatred of Israel, and was "preaching hatred of all Jews", he said.
The controversial comedian Dieudonne has been convicted repeatedly for inciting hatred of Jews and banned from performing. Now he is in trouble for saying he felt like "Charlie Coulibaly", seen as mocking the terror victims.
Yet he has a huge fan base, created via social media - mostly young fans who like his crude, inflammatory anti-establishment and anti-Semitic rhetoric. His much-imitated "quenelle" gesture has been compared to the Nazi salute.
Two previous Islamist terror attacks contributed to the anxiety in French and Belgian Jewish communities.
In 2012 Mohamed Merah killed three Jewish children and a rabbi in Toulouse, as well as three unarmed French soldiers.
Another French Islamist, Mehdi Nemmouche, has been charged with murder of four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May 2014.
A French think-tank, Fondapol, reports that anti-Semitic offences increased by more than 90% last year in France.
It also says half of recorded racist attacks targeted Jews, who make up no more than 1% of the population.
Surveys do not reveal the full scale of the problem, researchers say, as many anti-Semitic incidents go unreported. The same can be said for racism generally.
Fondapol's November 2014 opinion poll on anti-Semitism, conducted by Ifop, suggests that anti-Semitic prejudices are most prevalent among fundamentalist Muslims and supporters of Marine Le Pen's nationalist Front National (FN).
In neighbouring Belgium the Jewish community set up a crisis management centre after Merah's 2012 atrocity.
Maurice Sosnowski, president of Belgium's Jewish umbrella group CCOJB, said anti-Semitism "is coming back to the pre-World War Two level". It had been suppressed since 1945 because of general horror at the Nazi crimes against Jews, he said.
"For years now, in some areas, Jews have been afraid to wear the kippa (skullcap); they feared being assaulted in the metro.
"A lot of Jewish kids left public schools, to go to Jewish schools - it's a bad sign," he told the BBC.
He said Belgian politicians should speak out more against anti-Semitism.
Belgium's Jews - about 38,000 in total - nearly all live in Brussels and Antwerp.
After police clashed with suspected jihadists in Verviers, killing two, Jewish schools were closed as a security measure. "Everyone accepted that decision, because they were anxious," Mr Sosnowski said.
Jewish leaders in Germany and the UK are worried about anti-Semitism too, but view the situation in France as worse.
This month Josef Schuster, head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, said he was glad that so many "average citizens" had rallied to defend human rights, against the Pegida nationalist movement.
The survey of European Jews by the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) in 2013 found that 76% felt anti-Semitism had got worse in recent years.
In the UK fewer than half considered anti-Semitism to be a big problem in their country, while in France the figure was 85%.
"You'd have to pay me a lot of money to live in France or Belgium now," said Marc Cohen, a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Nationalist parties have been gaining ground in much of Europe, including the FN in France, Golden Dawn in Greece and Hungary's Jobbik.
Such extremism "is not endorsed by anyone in our government - that's a big difference," said Mr Cohen, noting that anti-Semitism had once tainted the British establishment.
Now the worry is "anti-Zionism merging into anti-Semitism" in British society, he said. "The lines are incredibly blurred, but you know it when you see it."
The national park authority served a notice for the St David's Hotel, Harlech, to be pulled down.
The body said it has been inundated with complaints over the state of the Gwynedd venue which closed in 2008.
In 2014, permission was granted for it to be replaced by a 130-bed hotel, but owner Aitchison Associates did not move forward with the project.
The hotel, built in 1910, has a prominent position in the town, and Snowdonia National Park Authority's planning officer Jane Jones said its "unsightly appearance seriously detracts from the surrounding vicinity and prevents the economic development of Harlech".
Ms Jones added: "With the hotel building in such a poor state of disrepair, repair work is no longer feasible: windows rotting, dormer windows completely perished, sections of the roof have collapsed and other numerous structural defects. Internally the building has been gutted."
She said discussions over the future of the site have been slow because Aitchison Associates is based in Gibraltar.
If no appeal is made against the notice, it will take effect in January, with 15 months then given to comply with it.

Wales have qualified for their first major championship since the 1958 World Cup and the Manics, who are hardcore Welsh football fans, admit their anthem began evolving since Wales narrowly failed in their qualification bid for the 1994 World Cup by defeat to Romania.
"It's a long time coming," said lyricist Nicky Wire.
"Definitely there's pressure, World In Motion by New Order (for England's 1990 World Cup campaign) is the best one, that's the benchmark.
"We wanted to make a great Manics song first and I think we pulled it off. If the song takes off on the terraces, there's not going to be many more finer moments than that."
Wales, who play Sweden in a friendly on Sunday, begin their Euro 2016 campaign against Slovakia in Bordeaux on Saturday, 11 June before facing England and Russia in Group B.
The Manic Street Preachers, whose songs 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' and 'The Masses Against the Classes' have been UK number ones, are currently touring celebrating the 20th year of their acclaimed album 'Everything Must Go'

The IAAF took action after the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that alleged "state-sponsored doping".
Its council members voted 22-1 in favour of Russia being banned.
"This is a wake-up call for all of us," said IAAF president Lord Coe.
He told BBC Sport: "Our sport finds itself in a shameful situation.
"I am wholly focused on the changes that need to be made. I have openly conceded that we need to learn some very tough lessons.
"We need to look at ourselves, within our sport, and we will do that."
Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said the suspension was "temporary" and the "problem is solvable".
The country's IAAF council member was not allowed to participate in Friday's vote.
As it stands, Russian athletes may not enter international competitions, including the World Athletic Series and Rio Olympics, which begin on 5 August next year.
Russia will also not be entitled to host the 2016 World Race Walking Cup in Cheboksary and the 2016 World Junior Championships in Kazan.
The IAAF says that unless the Russian Athletics Federation (Araf) voluntarily accepts a full suspension, it is entitled to proceed to a full hearing on whether the provisional suspension should be made full.
Former sprinter Frankie Fredericks, head of the IAAF athletes commission, added: "We are angry at the damage being caused to the reputation and credibility of athletics and are united alongside our president to not shy away from the major challenges that face our sport."
The Wada commission, led by chairman Dick Pound, suggested Araf, Russia's anti-doping agency (Rusada) and the Russian Federation as a whole could not be considered anti-doping code-compliant, because of what it claimed was widespread cheating.
The report claimed to have evidence of "direct intimidation and interference by the Russian state with the Moscow laboratory operations", while Rusada gave athletes advance notice of tests, hid missed tests, bullied doping control officers and their families and took bribes to cover up missed tests, it said.
According to the commission's findings, London 2012 was "sabotaged" by "widespread inaction" against athletes with suspicious doping profiles.
In a statement on Friday, a Wada spokesperson said: "The decision is positive news for clean athletes worldwide."
Mutko said on Thursday that Russia is "against a boycott" and "against political interference in sport", adding the country is a "dependable partner of the international Olympic movement".
Russian President Vladimir Putin also demanded co-operation with doping authorities, saying: "The battle must be open. A sporting contest is only interesting when it is honest."
International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said he expected Russia to "co-operate to make progress" towards being compliant with Wada to ensure participation at Rio 2016. | Tata Steel has warned suppliers that if they don't slash prices by 30% then they risk losing Tata's business.

The Tamworth sculpture, which is depicted wearing a police helmet, is known as the "Peel Pig" after former prime minister Sir Robert Peel, who was an MP in the town.
The work was removed by the councillor Danny Cook who said it was "offensive".
But a charity set up to honour Sir Robert is calling for its return.
The Peel Society said the work formed part of a Trotters Trail through the town in honour of Tamworth's association with the animal.
The trail was funded by an £8,000 grant from the Arts Council.
The pig is decorated in purple and yellow - the Peel family colours - and wears the police helmet as a tribute to Sir Robert's role in establishing the Metropolitan Police Force.
Nigel Morris, chairman of the society, said the statue was "colourful street furniture", designed to keep people "informed about one of the greatest politicians this country has ever produced".
"It was a social art project," he said. "The pigs are all over Tamworth, in schools and in castle grounds.
"I was invited, as chair of the Peel Society to paint one. I saw it as a unique opportunity to tell the people of Tamworth about Sir Robert Peel."
Mr Cook said: "I have been contacted by retired police officers who say they are offended by it.
"If I had left it, there would have been a lobby of people wanting it removed.
"An offensive pig is not going back on council land."
Andy Adams, chairman of the Staffordshire Police Federation, said the pig had "raised a smile" and was "not intended to be offensive".
"It's not the average pig in town," he said.
"I know 'pig' can be a derogatory term for a police officer but I don't think the Peel Society meant it that way at all. It's there to get a message across and it was probably over the top to remove it."
Tasha Coates got in touch with Get Inspired to tell us about her challenging illness - and her love for gymnastics. This is her story.
"Your disability does not define you. You have to focus on what you can do, and don't let others stand in your way.
In May 2013 I developed a rare condition which affects the cells in my body called mast cells. As well as many different daily symptoms, this in effect makes me 'allergic to exercise'.
Why? Because exercise promotes mast cell degranulation, which can throw me into a life-threatening allergic reaction if I do not stop at first sign of any symptoms.
I lost all of my hair in July last year due to the physical stress of going into anaphylatic shock so many times in a short space of time. My hair was falling out in clumps so, before I lost it all, I gave it to charity.
I'm 20 now. Having already been a gymnast for 10 years, I was not willing to let my diagnosis define me and stop me from enjoying the sport I love, so I made the switch to disability gymnastics.
This allows me to train and compete just like anyone else, while keeping my health a priority throughout and allowing for adaptations.
So, I'm an artistic gymnast training at Hartford School of Gymnastics in Northwich and I compete in the physical disability category (there is also an 'intellectual' disability category).
In April 2014, I suffered a respiratory arrest. I thought my time as a gymnast was over.
It took what felt like a very long time to get well enough to be able to complete a full routine on each piece of equipment, and I was thrilled just to be well enough to be able to compete properly again.
Before my diagnosis, I wanted to be a paramedic. Unfortunately, I am not well enough. But I try not to be scared of the past, or anxious of the future. I focus on taking things a day at a time!
I made a big comeback in November 2014 at the Disability British Championships, where I won five gold medals and two trophies.
I'm now the current senior women's National Champion on all four pieces of apparatus (beam, bars, floor and vault), and I also hold the all-around title and the highest-scoring female of the whole competition!
But what really matters to me is getting more people into disability gymnastics.
It truly is a fantastic sport with many opportunities, but not many people know it exists as it isn't a 'Paralympic' sport.
My coach, Charlie Oaks, trained Beth Tweddle when she was young, so he is a very experienced coach and now specialises with disabled athletes.
The gym I currently train at is full of gymnasts of all ages and abilities; however, I am the only competitive disabled gymnast.
The full name of my condition is Spontaneous Urticaria and Spontaneous Angioedema leading to Idiopathic Anaphylaxis. Alongside this I also suffer from asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis and Oral Allergy Syndrome.
If it wasn't for gymnastics, I would be dwelling all on this - and I would have given up everything I love.
Yet even when I was in hospital I was planning my first session back to build up my strength, searching for new floor music and shopping online for leotards.
Sport is a massive stress relief as well: when I'm in the gym I just focus on that, and not worry about everything else that's going on in my life.
What inspires me is the present.
I want to promote the sport of disability gymnastics and, also, participate in more competitions. I would love to go to schools and do talks and motivate people to get into sport, regardless of age or ability.
It really can make all the difference to your life."

The move upwards was tiny - 22.5 points or 0.32% - but it left the FTSE at an unprecedented 7,142.83.
The last trading day of the calendar year in London is a short one, with dealings ending at 12:30 GMT.
Among the top 100 companies, there were no major daily moves. Rolls-Royce was the biggest faller, notching up a decline of 1.47%.
Oil ended in London flat, with Brent at $56.67 a barrel. The commodity has almost doubled from this year's low of $30 a barrel.
Oil has gained 53% since the start of the year, the biggest annual rise since 2009, with the promise of production curbs from major oil-producing countries giving a late surge to the price.
Mining companies have largely been winning investments, in sterling terms, with many gaining about 30% over the year.
The FTSE 100 has benefited from the fall in the pound since the Leave vote, because the many international companies whose shares are traded in the UK tend to benefit from it.
Profits earned abroad by multinationals such as drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline and major mining companies are worth more when converted into sterling.
That makes a company's shares appear better value when compared with the higher profits it will make, prompting a revaluation of the stock.

In currencies, the pound was up 0.48% against the dollar at $1.2310, but was flat against the euro at €1.1681.
The Brexit vote dramatically weakened the worth of the pound against the dollar. At the start of the year - and in June on the eve of the Brexit vote - the pound was worth just short of $1.50.
It has certainly been a good year for a British investor with stakes in the top 100 companies traded on the London stock exchange. If you held a portfolio made up of the same stocks in the same proportions as go into the index, you would have made a very healthy gain of about 14%.
But a foreign investor buying the same selection of assets would not have done so well, because sterling has fallen so sharply.
If the dollar were your home currency, you would have seen the value of your holding of London stocks decline by 4%. That partly reflects the fact that the pound has moved especially sharply against a strengthening US currency.
If what you cared about was the performance of your investment measured in euros, then you would have seen the value of your portfolio ending 2016 very close to the level at which it started the year.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said 2017 could be a rocky one: "It's all about political risk, there's the French and German elections and potentially another election in Italy. There's also Greece, Italy's banks and Article 50.
"We could be in for another year of surprises."
"After an open and honest meeting last week we unfortunately failed to agree terms," said Boro director Lee Thorn.
"Liam's worked extremely hard to bring in players and has developed a strong mentality throughout the club. He has carried out his role professionally."
Daish's exit was revealed following Boro's final-day 5-3 defeat at Chester.
Boro won just eight times in 38 games in his seven months in charge, the former Ebbsfleet boss having taken over after Brian Reid was sacked on 8 September.
Ex-Birmingham City centre-half Daish will step down after his return to St Andrew's on Thursday, when he is due to lead Boro out in the Birmingham Senior Cup final against his old club.
"It was concluded that the BSC final at St Andrew's on Thursday would be his last game," added Thorn.
Boro are now looking for their fifth manager in the 13 months since Kevin Wilkin, now available again following his sacking by Wrexham, left Liberty Way for the Racecourse Ground in March 2014.
Caretaker boss Mark Noon took control for five games, none of which Boro won before Reid came in until the end of last season.
But when they managed just one win from their first seven games this season, he was sacked but the pattern had already been set for what proved to be a relegation campaign.
His body will be displayed at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace alongside his father, Kim Il-sung.
There are also plans to build memorial towers for him, state media said, and his 16 February birthday will be marked as a "Day of the Shining Star".
Kim Jong-il died of a heart attack on 17 December at the age of 69.
His body was put on display at the palace before his elaborate funeral on 28 December.
The news came in an announcement from state news agency KCNA.
The decision to preserve Kim Jong-il was made to show "the unanimous desire and ardent request" of the party to hold Kim Jong-il in high esteem "as the eternal leader of the party", the KCNA report said.
The Kumsusan Memorial Palace was "eternal president" Kim Il-sung's home before it was converted into a mausoleum after his death.
The "Shining Star" is thought to be a reference to rockets built by North Korea under Mr Kim's policy of channelling funding to the military.
Kim Jong-il has been succeeded by his son Kim Jong-un, who is believed to be in his late 20s.
Secretary of State John Kerry raised the matter in a phone call with the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, the White House said.
Russia said the embargo was no longer necessary after an interim deal was reached on Iran's nuclear programme.
Tehran and six world powers aim to reach a final deal by 30 June.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest did not give details of Mr Kerry's phone call, but said that "coordination and unity" with nations like Russia had been key to reaching agreement with Iran.
A Pentagon spokesman called the move "unhelpful", saying concerns were being raised through the "appropriate diplomatic channels".
Russia agreed to sell the S-300 system in 2007, but blocked delivery in 2010 after the UN imposed sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme.
The S-300 is a surface-to-air missile system that can be used against multiple targets including jets, or to shoot down other missiles.
Tehran welcomed the move as a step towards "establishing stability and security in the region", the country's Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan said, according to state media.
But Israel, a vocal critic of the nuclear deal, has voiced dismay.
"This is a direct result of the legitimacy that Iran obtained from the emerging nuclear deal,'' said Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz.
Mr Lavrov said the "S-300 is exclusively a defensive weapon, which cannot serve offensive purposes and will not jeopardise the security of any country, including, of course, Israel".
It is not clear when the systems will be delivered. Russia has stopped producing the model specified under the original contract and has instead offered an upgrade.
The deal on Iran's nuclear programme aims to restrict its ability to make nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief.
It is due to be finalised by the end of June deadline, but sticking points remain, in particular on how and when to lift sanctions
Mr Kerry meanwhile has been holding closed door briefings with the US Congress, as he seeks to win over sceptical lawmakers who have threatened to block the deal.

The Pumas looked to have won it through Juan Martin Hernandez's drop-goal but Solomona went over from halfway.
The hosts led 17-13, Emiliano Boffelli and Tomas Lavanini tries cancelling out Marland Yarde and Jonny May scores.
Second-half tries from Jeronimo de la Fuente and Joaquin Tuculet for the Pumas, and George Ford for England, then set up the thrilling finish.
The second and final Test of the tour takes place next Saturday, 17 June in Santa Fe.
With the Lions tour and a host of injuries depriving England boss Eddie Jones of 30 players, the tourists fielded a match-day 23 containing 11 uncapped players - including four in the starting line-up.
Perhaps understandably England looked nervous initially and it was a good quarter of an hour before they started to gel, and although Yarde finished off a slick move they trailed by four points at the break.
They continued to make mistakes in an error-strewn game but their attacking threat was always in evidence, with a sublime dummy and grubber-kick from Henry Slade - who had endured some rocky moments in the first half - setting up May for a marvellous try.
Argentina looked a constant threat in attack themselves and scored two sizzling tries in two minutes through De la Fuente and Joaquin Tuculet, before Ford went over from distance to level matters.
Back again came the Pumas - but although Hernandez's drop-goal gave them a late lead, it left England enough time to mount a final attack.
When the ball reached Solomona, the controversial cross-code winger who has only played 15 games for Sale and had missed a couple of important tackles in his 15 minutes on the pitch until that point, there looked to be little danger.
But he bounced the first man, evaded several more defenders as he cut inside and handed off Matias Moroni before racing over under the posts to win a belter of a game.

Prop Harry Williams, centre Alex Lozowski and flanker Mark Wilson all made decent debuts, but the outstanding performer of the quartet of new faces was 18-year-old flanker Tom Curry.
The Sale open-side, the youngest England debutant since a certain Jonny Wilkinson, was a constant threat at the breakdown, tackled furiously and showed some nice touches in attack, suggesting England's long wait for a linkman at seven may possibly be over.
He only made the bench for the Barbarians game last weekend in place of injured identical twin brother Ben - also on tour in Argentina - and on Tom's showing last weekend and on Saturday, the pair look set to both have long England careers.
Of the seven uncapped players on the bench it was Solomona who made the greatest impact, but Piers Francis also had his moments, and England head coach Jones knows that the talent pool available to him is both broad and deep.
Despite being an integral part of England's success over the past couple of years, fly-half George Ford has not enjoyed the total support of some England fans.
But with front-foot ball - often provided by the mighty Nathan Hughes and the indefatigable Joe Launchbury - to play with he ran the game in assured fashion, distributing well, kicking excellently off the tee and capping a fine display with a lovely long-range try as he finally showed glimpses of the running game that has long been absent in an England shirt.
England head coach Eddie Jones: "It's a great result, but I am disappointed with the performance - we gave away too many points.
"But we have shown a tonne of team ethic. We had 10 young guys who came into a situation where we were chasing the game. They were fantastic. The young guys made mistakes but they did not dwell on them. Take Denny [Solomona], he made two horrific defensive mistakes but then scored a fantastic try."
Ex-England centre Jeremy Guscott: "I didn't think England would hold their nerve. With the inexperience coming off the bench I thought they were going to fold and collapse. But they came back and were absolutely phenomenal to play to the end."
World Cup-winning England coach Sir Clive Woodward: "The Lions [who beat the Crusaders earlier on Saturday] will be watching this game very closely and there were some big performances today from these young England players."

In a series of tweets at the weekend, Ms Mone said she had "hung up my bra" and "sold 80% of Ultimo".
She then confirmed she had bought 100% of self-tan business UTan.
Ms Mone also described her 17 years of building up the Ultimo brand as a "roller coaster ride", and hinted at a new TV role.
Ms Mone co-founded the original Ultimo parent company MJM International with her ex-husband Michael in 1996, and created brands including Ultimo Miracle Shapewear and Miss Ultimo.
Last year, she announced he had left the company following a breakdown in their marriage.
MJM ceased trading at the end of last year after registering major liabilities.
Its assets were then moved into Ultimo Brands International after Ms Mone forged a business partnership with Sri Lanka-based lingerie group MAS Holdings. It took a majority stake in Ultimo.
Tweeting on Saturday, Ms Mone said: "Yes I can confirm that I've sold 80% of Ultimo & bought 100% of UTan & Beauty. I'm the happiest I've ever been & Ultimo will soon be Global success.
"My new chapter will be: new Ultimo stores, growing UTan & beauty, new investments, new Biz, TV, speaking round the world, my book & helping others."
Asked in one tweet if she would still be the boss of Ultimo, she said: "No I've hung up my Bra & 63,000 people will take forward."
She later tweeted: "Have a great Sat guys! I'm off to celebrate 17 years of building Ultimo into a huge brand & my new chapter."
Ms Mone also said she was looking for a home in Los Angeles but would keep her home "in Scotland & London".
A spokesman for Ultimo Brands International said: "We can confirm that MAS Holdings has recently increased its stake in Ultimo.
"Michelle remains a significant shareholder and director of the business, and will continue to be the creative force behind Ultimo lingerie.
"This is a very exciting time for Ultimo as we look to open stores around the UK and launch the next phase of the brand's growth in the UK and beyond."
Tributes lined the Shoreham Toll Bridge, since dubbed the "Bridge of Flowers", after last month's crash.
Most have now been removed by volunteers and handed over to West Sussex Record Office.
They will be preserved and kept in memory of those who died when a vintage jet crashed on 22 August.
The community archive will be set up by the record office, working with local people in the Shoreham Recovery Group.
Lesley Sim, West Sussex County Council information services manager, said it would include all the cards and messages left on the bridge.
"We are currently working to dry and conserve all of these for the future," she said.
"The community archive will be held at the record office in safe, environmentally-controlled conditions where it will be catalogued and made available in the public search room for people to see and use both now and in the years to come."
The disaster happened when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to traffic on the A27 during a display at Shoreham Air Show.
The plane, flown by experienced pilot Andy Hill, failed to pull out of a loop-the-loop stunt before crashing and exploding in to a fireball.
An interim report released by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch found "no abnormal indications" during the flight.
Mr Hill has now left hospital and his condition is improving.
The "severe" blaze ripped through the office area of a car parts warehouse by The Fort shopping centre off the M6 and was tackled by 100 firefighters.
The fire in Wingfoot Way broke out at about 19:00 GMT on Thursday and was put out at about 23:45. About 20 firefighters remain at the scene.
Nobody was injured in the fire and it did not spread to a tyre storage area.
West Midlands Fire Service had warned people living nearby to close windows and doors.
Dean Stubbins turned up for his nightshift at the nearby DHL warehouse and saw the flames.
He said: "There was heavy traffic around the area due to road closures. The cause is unknown but it started above the offices on the rooftop.
"I saw a major incidents truck from the fire service. I was meant to be on a night shift but no-one got a message to say don't turn up.
"The site is one of the sequence centres for Jaguar Land Rover. The offices are used by Dunlop tyres."
The will is among a trove of documents released to US media. It was seized in the US assault in Abbotabad, Pakistan.
Bin Laden urged his family to "obey my will" and to spend his inheritance on "jihad, for the sake of Allah".
He referred to the money as being in Sudan, but it is not clear whether it was cash or assets.
Bin Laden lived in Sudan for five years in the 1990s as a guest of the Sudanese government.
It is not known whether any of the money made its way to his heirs.
Other letters attributed to Bin Laden and released on Tuesday show that he:
He also gave his assessment of the progress of the West's "war on terror" and the US military campaign in Afghanistan.
"They thought that the war would be easy and that they would accomplish their objectives in a few days or a few weeks," he wrote.
"We need to be patient a bit longer. With patience, there is victory!"
Bin Laden was killed by US special forces in May 2011 in a raid on his compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan.
The group has since been led by al-Qaeda's former second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Pre-tax profits for the six months to 30 July jumped 73% from a year earlier to £77.4m.
Executive chairman Peter Cowgill told the BBC: "It's our third consecutive year of growth and we have become established as the place to go for athletic leisure products."
The company also announced plans to open shops in Australia.
Most of JD Sports' 900 outlets are in the UK, although it is expanding elsewhere in Europe in countries such as Spain, France and Germany.
The company said that while the UK's Brexit vote "means that there will be some uncertainties over the next two or three years, we have no doubt that we have the support of our brand partners to continue our expansion in Europe and beyond".
JD Sports said its sports fashion division had enjoyed "an exceptional first half", with operating profits up 53% to £79.9m.
Its outdoor division - which includes the Blacks and Millets chains - managed to narrow losses to £2.3m from £4.5m last year.
Independent retail analyst Nick Bubb said JD Sports' results were "tremendous".
"The only disappointments are that the outdoor division is still losing money," he added.
"But given the incredible growth in the core sports fashion business, few shareholders are likely to be complaining about that."
Authorities on Sulawesi island said that the ship was reported to have been hit by high waves and its engine had broken down.
Six rescue vessels have been despatched but are being hampered by bad weather.
Local search and rescue agency chief Roki Asikin said they were due to reach the ship early on Sunday.
There is no word yet of any casualties.
Officials said the last contact from the ship's captain said that water was beginning to enter the vessel.
The ship left Kolaka in south-east Sulawesi province with 118 passengers and crew on Saturday morning local time, officials said, and was bound for the port of Siwa across the Gulf of Boni.
Transport ministry spokesman JA Barata said a distress signal was sent out later in the day saying the ship had "had an accident as a result of large waves".
Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands linked by ferry services, but correspondents say the industry has a poor safety record.
Back in 1957 though, things looked a little different - not least because only 10 countries entered, an increase of three on the contest's debut the year before.
That year the UK was represented by the unknown Patricia Bredin from Hull, singing a love song called All.
She ended up in seventh place, her six points outshone by Netherlands' entrant Corry Brokken, who took the crown with 31 points.
Despite the setback Ms Bredin, then 22, went on to have a long career on stage and screen before retiring to a farm in Canada.
Now aged in her 80s, Ms Bredin has clear memories of her performance.
"Singing in the final in Frankfurt, Germany it was wonderful, because they had about a 60 piece orchestra and it was like being on clouds."
Ms Bredin grew up in west Hull and attended the Newland School for Girls.
Her singing career began as a member of the Hull Operatic Society, performing in shows at the City Hall and other venues.
She landed the Eurovision chance after being spotted singing at London's Savoy Hotel.
And a short meeting with BBC executives, who asked her "Would you like to be on TV?", was all it took to get the job.
"Two songs had been chosen and each one had to be sung by two different performers, but they had a problem because nobody wanted to sing that terrible little song called All," she said.
The song was less than two minutes long and despite her performance being broadcast on TV, the public did not have an opportunity to send it into the charts as she never recorded it.
John Kennedy O'Connor, author of the official history of the Eurovision Song Contest, said the contest then did not have the media focus it enjoys now.
"It was a much more formal process that it is now and a much more formal type of show," he said.
"At that time the contest just didn't mean anything to anybody. So I don't think she really benefited from it."
But, Ms Bredin became a regular in musicals in the West End and on Broadway, once taking over a role from Julie Andrews.
She also acted in a number of British films, appearing alongside Ian Carmichael and Sid James.
And, while singing on the liner QE2 in the 1960s, she met Canadian millionaire Charles MacCulloch. The pair married and moved to a farm in Nova Scotia.
She was widowed soon after the wedding and remained in Canada raising cattle.
Reflecting on her Eurovision appearance, she said she was just pleased to still be remembered.
"I had a wonderful career and enjoyed it and you go on to something else," she said.
"Now just existing is my primary priority."
One of the heroes of Wales' 2005 Grand Slam-winning team was 100-cap flanker Martyn 'Nugget' Williams and he has teamed up with BBC Wales Rugby Correspondent Gareth Charles to look back at some of Wales' most memorable and most important tries since the start of the Six Nations.

Wales had waited 24 years for a win in Paris and then, after success in 1999, they did it again in 2001.
And they achieved it in style with a free-scoring festival of running rugby. James' sprint to the line after a clever set play was a highlight of the 43-35 victory.
Fly-half Neil Jenkins won plenty of games for Wales and the British and Irish Lions with his unerring right boot, but the score that finally saw off France was a try.
It gave Wales a two-score cushion going into second-half injury time - and sparked scenes of wild celebrations on and off the field.

Ryan Jones was to captain Wales in two Grand Slam seasons, but in 2005 he was a promising young back row player who burst on to the scene with this barnstorming demolition of Scotland's defence at Murrayfield.
The try sparked a rout of the Scots, and had Welsh fans daring to dream of a Grand Slam.
Shane Williams scored 58 tries for Wales and had almost as many different haircuts. Murrayfield in 2005 witnessed one of the great Wales team performances epitomised by this sparkling five-pointer.
Wales were without captain Gareth Thomas, but swept Scotland aside in a blistering opening and went on to win 42-22.
Wales' first Grand Slam in 27 years was finally delivered in style against Ireland on a sunny spring day in Cardiff.
Gethin Jenkins started the ball rolling with his charge-down and dribbler for the opening try, but it was Kevin Morgan's sprint to the line after fine work by Stephen Jones and Tom Shanklin that really sent the Wales fans into orbit.

Wales were outplayed for 40 minutes in Warren Gatland's first game as coach at Twickenham in 2008, and were fortunate to be trailing 16-6 at the interval.
But half-backs James Hook and Phillips were outstanding as Wales turned the tables on their hosts and took the first tentative step towards a second Grand Slam in three seasons.
Four matches later France were beaten 29-12 in Cardiff, with Shane Williams setting a new individual try scoring record with his 41st touchdown and flanker Martyn Williams displaying his best scrum-half impersonation to set the seal on victory.

There was no championship or Grand Slam for Wales in 2010, but the 31-24 win over Scotland in Cardiff ranks as one of the all-time great Test matches thanks to a storming start by Scotland and extraordinary fight back by Warren Gatland's team.
The home team trailed 24-14 when Scotland were reduced to 14 men by the sin-binning of Scott Lawson with six minutes remaining. A converted try and a Stephen Jones penalty saw the home team draw level and 80 minutes were up and Scotland further reduced to 13 men when Scotland re-started the match.
A minute later, Williams rounded off a wave of Welsh attacks to break Scottish hearts.

Wales started their 2012 campaign with a superb win over Ireland in Dublin. George North and Jonathan Davies were Wales' try-scorers, with the pair combining for Davies' outstanding second.
But it took a late Leigh Halfpenny penalty to clinch victory.
After beating Scotland, Wales completed the triple crown in a tense match in Twickenham when Scott Williams ripped possession off England second row Courtney Lawes and beat all comers to his own kick before diving over between the posts. Wales survived a late TMO scare to win 19-12 and went on to complete a Grand Slam with victory over France in Cardiff.

The 2013 meeting between Wales and England in Cardiff was a match with more than usual at stake.
England were chasing a Grand Slam, while Wales could win their second consecutive Six Nations title provided they won the match by eight points or more.
In an extraordinary atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium, the two teams battered each other before Alex Cuthbert scored twice in the second half to take the game away from Stuart Lancaster's young side.
Cuthbert's second, with flankers Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric lending more than a hand, is one of the most cherished moments of recent Welsh rugby history.

Israeli police said the attacker, thought to be Palestinian, was killed.
Eight Israelis have died in attacks by lone Palestinians this month. More than 40 Palestinians, including several attackers, have been killed.
The upsurge began amid tensions at a flashpoint holy site in East Jerusalem.
Israeli security forces have imposed tighter restrictions in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and there have been clashes with Palestinian protesters.
Israel has begun erecting a 5m (16ft) high concrete barrier between the Palestinian district of Jabal Mukaber in East Jerusalem and the neighbouring Jewish Armon Hanatziv.
Israeli officials in Jerusalem insisted the wall was a temporary measure in an area "where there is a history of rock and [petrol bomb] Molotov cocktail throwing at Jewish homes and vehicles".
US Secretary of State John Kerry is to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, separately, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, this week in a bid to help restore calm.
The attack on the Central Bus Station in Beersheva came on Sunday evening.
"One armed terrorist entered the central bus station and shot at a soldier and killed him," a local police chief, Yoram Levi, was quoted by Haaretz as saying.
"He continued his shooting spree, took the soldier's gun and continued shooting in the central bus station.
"Forces in the area responded quickly, he managed to escape the central bus station but ran into forces, was shot and killed. In his belongings we found a knife and a pistol with ammunition."
Initial reports said there had been a second attacker, who was critically wounded, but he is now believed to be an Eritrean migrant. Video footage showed people kicking him and spitting at him as he lay in a pool of blood on the floor.
The city's Soroka Hospital said it was treating 10 shooting victims - two who arrived in a critical condition, two with serious wounds and the rest with moderate to light wounds.
Among the injured, all said to be in their 20s, were at least four police officers.
This attack will have particularly shocked Israelis as it came not in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank but deep inside Israel itself, the BBC's Middle East correspondent Kevin Connolly points out.
Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli military removed Jewish worshippers it said had illegally entered a religious site in the occupied West Bank.
Thirty Israelis arrived at Joseph's Tomb in the city of Nablus and were assaulted by Palestinians before being handed over to Israeli forces by Palestinian police, reports say.
There has been a spate of stabbings of Israelis - several of them fatal - by Palestinians since early October, and one apparent revenge stabbing by an Israeli. The attackers have struck in Jerusalem and central and northern Israel, and in the occupied West Bank. Israel has tightened security and its security forces have clashed with rioting Palestinians, leading to deaths on the Palestinian side. The violence has also spread to the border with Gaza.
After a period of relative quiet, violence between the two communities has spiralled since clashes erupted at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site in mid-September. It was fuelled by rumours among Palestinians that Israel was attempting to alter a long-standing religious arrangement governing the site. Israel repeatedly dismissed the rumours as incitement. Soon afterwards, two Israelis were shot dead by Palestinians in the West Bank and the stabbing attacks began. Both Israel and the Palestinian authorities have accused one another of doing nothing to protect each other's communities.
There have been two organised uprisings by Palestinians against Israeli occupation, in the 1980s and early 2000s. With peace talks moribund, some observers have questioned whether we are now seeing a third. The stabbing attacks seem to be opportunistic and although they have been praised by militant groups, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation.
What is driving the latest violence?
Nearly 8,000 people took part in the race through the streets of Sheffield.
There was confusion last year when many runners completed the race amid police efforts to set up roadblocks, despite the event officially being cancelled.
Beverage firm Water Direct agreed to make a charity donation after failing to provide water for the 2014 race.
The 19-year-old left-back is yet to make a senior appearance for the Toffees but played three games for their U23s in last season's EFL Trophy.
"As soon as I heard about the opportunity to come to Bolton Wanderers I was buzzing," Robinson said.
"He has great athleticism, he's hungry and was keen to join. He's a good addition," boss Phil Parkinson said.

The British Heart Foundation said the figure was 100,000 more than had been thought and could be even higher.
It said there was now a better grasp of the prevalence of inherited conditions.
A child of someone with an inherited heart condition can have a 50% chance of inheriting it themselves.
The charity warned that the overall figure for those with the faulty gene could be much higher because of as yet undiscovered faulty genes and under-diagnoses.
Each week in the UK, around 12 seemingly healthy people aged 35 or under are victims of sudden cardiac death with no explanation, largely due to undiagnosed heart conditions.
Former England and Nottinghamshire cricketer James Taylor had to retire last year, at the age of 26, after he was diagnosed with the serious heart condition arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
He told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that he had been warming up for the first game of the season in Cambridge when his heart started "going mental in my chest".
He said: "You could see my shirt moving, that's how hard my heart was beating inside my chest...
"I went off, I had some oxygen, then I went to hospital some hours later.
"When I walked in to hospital they said it was a miracle I was able to walk in.
"My heart rate was going at 265 beats per minute."
A normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats a minute, but Taylor's remained at 265 for six to seven hours - "the equivalent of doing five, six marathons."
He now treats the condition with medication and said he was fortunate to survive.
"I'm still alive. I should have died - that's the scary thing about these inherited heart conditions.
"A lot of people don't get the opportunities I had and it's often too late."
Research has helped to discover many of the faulty genes that cause inherited heart conditions.
This has led to the development of structured genetic testing services for those at highest risk for some of these conditions.
However, the British Heart Foundation says more research is urgently needed.
Prof Sir Nilesh Samani, BHF medical director, said: "The reality is that there are hundreds of thousands of people across the UK who are unaware that they could be at risk of sudden death.
"If undetected and untreated, inherited heart conditions can be deadly and they continue to devastate families, often by taking away loved ones without warning.
"We urgently need to fund more research to better understand these heart conditions, make more discoveries, develop new treatments and save more lives."

Josh Griffiths, 23, finished in two hours 14 minutes 49 seconds on his marathon debut to claim an automatic qualifying place for August's Worlds.
Griffiths, who started behind the elite field, was the first British runner to cross the finish line and 13th overall.
"The crowd was amazing and carried me to the finish line," Griffiths said.
"The goal for me was to try and run the Welsh Commonwealth Games qualifying time of 2:16:00. It never crossed my mind that I would be running in the World Championships in the summer."
Robbie Simpson was fastest of Britain's established names, finishing in 2:15:04 ahead of Andrew Davies (2:15:11).
The race was won by Daniel Wanjiru of Kenya in 2:05:56.

"I didn't really realise until I crossed the finish line what I had just done," Griffiths continued.
"I managed to catch up to the lead British runner at about mile 13, but I was working hard with a group of really elite runners who I have looked up to for a long time.
"Before I knew it, I started to pull away from some of them. I was working hard with Robbie Simpson at mile 22 and I knew that my legs were starting to tire.
"Around mile 25, I started to think I had passed everybody, but you're never really sure until you cross that line."
Griffiths, who finished third in the Cardiff Half Marathon in October, says he was aided by the pace of Simpson.
He added: "I've known Robbie from mountain running previously and I know he's a great runner so the fact that I was able to run with him and work together with him was just great.
"He's really strong and I think we helped each other get to the end.
"This is all very new to me and the thought of being able to run in the World Championships in the summer, I just can't wait."
Protesters gathered outside the offices of Rustavi 2, which has been locked in a dispute with authorities.
They accuse the government of attempting to stifle media freedom.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili warned that he would respond sternly to any potential breaches of the law at the rally.
Some demonstrators held up placards reading "Hands off Rustavi 2 TV" and "Rustavi 2 belongs to the people".
Rustavi 2 has been locked in an ongoing ownership tussle since August, sparking fears that the ruling Georgian Dream coalition could compromise the independence of the channel by interfering.
Over the summer, a court froze the broadcaster's assets after a businessman close to the coalition filed a lawsuit to claim control.
Government critics and the channel's owners say the planned closure of the station is part of a campaign to silence the press ahead of next year's parliamentary elections.
"The government has decided to hand Rustavi 2 ownership over to a man under its control and that will amount to a closure of the country's most influential TV channel," Rustavi 2's deputy director, Zaal Udumashvili, told AFP.
"That will put an end to media pluralism in Georgia and threaten the very existence of Georgian democracy," he added.
On Wednesday, the channel's director Nika Gvaramia said a government middleman had threatened to release secretly-recorded videos showing what he described as his "private life" in an attempt to force him to resign.
The office of Georgia's prosecutor general has launched a probe into his claims.
Founded in 1994, Rustavi 2 TV is Georgia's biggest and most popular television station.
In a speech launching his party's summer offensive, he said he was "not going to be able to compete" with David Cameron's slick approach.
But he said he wanted to offer voters "something different" at next year's general election.
"The leadership this country needs is one that has big ideas to change things," said the Labour leader.
Mr Miliband's personal ratings trail behind those of his party and in June fell to the lowest ever recorded in an ICM-Guardian poll - a distinction he shared with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Mr Cameron's ratings were also down but he remains well ahead of his two main rivals, particularly when voters are asked about who looks the "most prime ministerial".
Labour fears the Conservatives will target Mr Miliband personally at next year's general election, wrecking the party's chances of gaining power.
In what could be seen as an attempt to head off criticism, Mr Miliband spoke about some of the gaffes he has been accused of committing in recent months - including holding up a copy of The Sun and struggling to eat a bacon sandwich, as well as caricatures of him as Wallace from the Wallace and Gromit animations.
He said he wanted to stand up to powerful vested interests such as Rupert Murdoch, but added: "Sometimes you get it wrong. I know, especially for people on Merseyside, me holding up a copy of the Sun was one of those days."
Mr Miliband was forced to apologise last month after he was criticised by his own MPs for promoting the paper, which has been criticised for its reporting of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 people died.
The Labour leader said big ideas and principles were more important than image and Labour had the right policies on dealing with "the cost of living crisis", tackling low pay and building more homes.
Analysis
By Brian Wheeler, political reporter
Ed Miliband is taking quite a gamble with this speech. He knows he has an image problem - and many in his party fear it could cost them the general election.
But a slick relaunch is out of the question - a cynical public would never buy it and, by his own admission, he couldn't pull it off.
So he has opted instead for a bit of of self-deprecation. Yes, I know I look a bit weird - get over it. That is his message.
But the danger is that by talking about his past PR disasters he is simply drawing more attention to them.
Also, whenever he stages a photo opportunity in the future - as all politicians do - he will be reminded of his words.
His political mentor Gordon Brown also tried to make a virtue of his own ineptitude in the field of public relations.
But "Gordon unspun" sounded to many people like yet more spin.
He said: "David Cameron is a very sophisticated and successful exponent of a politics based purely on image.
"I am not going to be able to compete with that and I don't intend to. I want to offer something different.
"I am not from central casting. You can find people who are more square-jawed, more chiselled. Look less like Wallace.
"You could probably even find people who look better eating a bacon sandwich.
"If you want the politician from central casting, it's just not me, it's the other guy."
But he said his version of political leadership was about sticking to principles even when it was hard, caring about people's lives and not leaving decency behind at the door of No 10, like the "callous Conservative" David Cameron.
Mr Miliband's speech, at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London, launched Labour's summer campaign, seen as an attempt to hit back at critics who accused the party of taking its eye off the ball during last year's parliamentary recess.
He said shadow cabinet members would be making a series of speeches about the "positive vision for the future from Labour".
Prime Minister David Cameron said Mr Miliband's speech proved that he was the leader who lacked substance.
"On a day when our national output has recovered to where it was before the great recession, which was brought to us by Labour, I think it was an extraordinary thing to say.
"The real substance is that because of the hard work of the British people we have actually reached a major milestone in our long-term economic plan."

Robins was reappointed on Monday, and has inherited a City side lying bottom of League One, 13 points adrift of safety with just 11 games left.
He is well aware of all the off-field ructions that have further soured City's fortunes in his four years away.
"The political side of what's happening makes this place different," he said.
"It's different to any other club in the country. It is a unique set of challenges, but it can be done."
He told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "This season has been tough to watch, and I understand the frustration totally. The fans are angry and frustrated with what they've seen and maybe the lack of action or investment.
"But this is a great, well-supported club that deserves better. We've got to get back to the stage where we the club can win back the fans' trust and implement a plan that makes sense for everybody.
"I just want to steer clear of the politics and get on with the football side of things. But the whole structure needs looking at in terms of the money I can have to rescue it.
"Key relationships need to be better and I need the tools to do the job. I need the best recruitment I possibly can.
It was Valentines's Day 2013 when Robins ended his previous spell with Coventry and departed for Huddersfield Town.
Now, just over four years, or 1480 days, later, he admits he felt something stir in his heart when he was offered the chance to return.
"I got a call on Sunday evening and that feeling lit up again. It doesn't go away. The opportunity to come back was too great to resist," the 47-year-old said.
"You look at Coventry and what they nearly achieved last season. The key to that was winning and we were doing plenty of that when I was here before.
"I've looked at how difficult it's been and that was something which motivated me to try and turn it round. We need unity and trust. They're things that come over a period of time and we need to foster that."

"Relegation to League Two is looking all but certain as Mark Robins takes over.
"Coventry will have appointed him on the basis of what he did first time around when they moved up the table before Huddersfield nipped in and offered him a job he couldn't resist.
"His first stint, albeit fairly brief, was successful. Just about the only manager of recent times to have left Coventry because someone else wanted him.
"But there is an irony to him taking over with City on their way to Wembley as he narrowly missed out on getting there in the same competition before, taking the Sky Blues to the semi-finals only to lose to eventual winners Crewe."
Jacqueline Robb, 54, of Laburnum Avenue, Manchester, used the funds to buy foreign holidays and clothes.
The school where she worked spotted that £952 was missing from its bank account after an audit in autumn 2016. It later identified a loss of £46,011 between April 2012 and December 2016.
Robb was jailed for 10 months at Manchester Crown Court after she pleaded guilty to theft.
She had been employed at a school in Openshaw since April 2009, where her duties included the administration and accounting of the school meals income.
The audit identified an annual deficit of about £10,000 missing from the school's bank account between 2012 and 2016.
Det Con Laura Watson, from Greater Manchester Police, said Robb had been initially considered as a "respected and trusted member of staff".
"She made the decision to breach the trust instilled in her by the school, improving her financial wellbeing through illicit means, which is absolutely unacceptable."
A proceeds or crime hearing is due to be held on 26 October.
The discovery was made by canoeists close to Radyr Weir, Radyr, on Saturday shortly after 11:00 BST.
Officers spent about three hours at the scene as part of their investigation.
No further details have been released by police.
Washington's UN ambassador Susan Rice said they would be "some of the toughest sanctions" the UN had imposed.
Li Baodong, China's UN envoy, said a "strong signal" had to be sent following North Korea's third and most powerful nuclear test last month.
Earlier, Pyongyang warned it would scrap a 60-year Korean ceasefire.
North Korea's military command said it would end the truce with South Korea on 11 March because of the threat of sanctions and the current military exercises taking place in South Korea.
"We aim to launch surgical strikes at any time and any target without being bounded by the armistice accord and advance our long-cherished wish for national unification," the statement said.
The Korean War ended with an armistice in 1953 - not a peace treaty - meaning the peninsula is still technically at war.
"For the first time ever, this resolution targets the illicit activities of North Korean diplomatic personnel, North Korean banking relationships [and] illicit transfers of bulk cash," Susan Rice said after a closed-door consultation on the draft with the 15 members of the Security Council.
The agreement provided for:
The Korean War armistice
"The breadth and scope of these sanctions is exceptional and demonstrates the strength of the international community's commitment to denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula, she told reporters.
The resolution also pledges to take further measures should North Korea carry out another missile launch or nuclear test, she said.
She said she hoped the Security Council would vote on the draft resolution this week.
Li Baodong said China supported the move, but added: "We think that action should be proportionate, should be balanced and focused on bringing down the tension and focusing on the diplomatic track.
"A strong signal must be sent out that a nuclear test is against the will of the international community," he told Reuters news agency.
China is North Korea's only ally and its major trading partner. Beijing has in the past been reluctant to support tougher sanctions, citing the impact of potential instability inside its secretive neighbour state.
February's nuclear test was the first of its kind under new leader Kim Jong-un, who took over the leadership after his father Kim Jong-il died in December 2011.
Nuclear test monitors based in Vienna say the underground explosion had double the force of the last test, in 2009, despite the use of a device said by the North to be smaller.
North Korea claimed that a "miniaturised" device had been tested, increasing fears that Pyongyang had moved closer to building a warhead small enough to arm a missile.
Pyongyang said the test was a "self-defensive measure" made necessary by the "continued hostility" of the US.
It came weeks after Pyongyang successfully used a rocket to put a satellite into space, a move condemned by the UN as a banned test of missile technology.
His National Governors' Association speech in Rhode Island on Friday was a first for a Canadian prime minister.
In his speech, Mr Trudeau urged US governors to embrace their neighbour to the north and avoid protectionism.
It is all a part of his aggressive strategy to promote a "thinner border" ahead of vital trade talks with the US renegotiating the Nafta treaty.
President Donald Trump has made "America First" his mantra, shaping his policies on trade and immigration.
But Mr Trudeau, who is a fierce advocate of free trade, told the governors protectionist policies "kill growth".
"And that hurts the very workers these measures are nominally intended to protect. Once we travel down that road, it can quickly become a cycle of tit-for-tat, a race to the bottom, where all sides lose," Mr Trudeau said.
"If anything, we would like a thinner border, not a thicker one."
Earlier in the day, Mr Trudeau had talks with governors from Wisconsin, Kentucky, Rhode Island and Iowa.
Nafta is a controversial trade deal between US, Mexico and Canada, which Mr Trump has threatened to rip up because he said it is unfair to the US.
With Nafta renegotiations set to begin in August, Canada must use whatever time is left to convince leaders that bilateral trade between the two countries must be a priority.
Public policy specialist Maryscott Greenwood said "the timing is perfect" for Mr Trudeau's visit.
"This is a big, high stake negotiation," she said. "I do not think he wants to leave any stone unturned, he has got to try everything.
"We do not really know who is going to be the most influential, which thing will be the turning point, and what is going to resonate with people, so they have got to try everything and hope that it comes out well in the end."
At the governors meeting, Mr Trudeau said "Nafta isn't perfect" but that states should urge the federal government to fix it, instead of scrapping it all together.
"More trade barriers, more local continent provisions... does not help working families over the long term, nor the mid term."
Historically, trade between the two nations has been hashed out by the respective countries' cabinet ministers, Ms Greenwood said.
But over the past several months, Canada has sent everyone from cabinet ministers to provincial premiers to the mayor of Toronto to plead its case.
"The level of intensity is new," Ms Greenwood said. "I think that is utterly unprecedented, and entirely appropriate [given the circumstances]."

Launching Plaid's "Wales In Europe" campaign, Euro-MP Jill Evans said Wales benefits "economically, socially and culturally" from membership.
Party leader Leanne Wood called for a positive campaign and said she was happy to work with other parties.
UKIP said such sentiments were "ironic", when Plaid wanted an independent, self-governing Wales.
David Cameron is hoping to secure agreement on new terms for Britain's membership of the EU to be voted on in a referendum, possibly in June.
Ms Wood had previously accused First Minister Carwyn Jones of failing to present a "positive vision" in his head-to-head debate with UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
In a speech in Rhondda, she warned there would be no "idyllic isolation" if the UK left the EU, urging people to vote for Britain to be "a full participant" in a "new Europe".
Arguments over statistics are unlikely to be enough to convince voters to stay in the EU, she argued.
"It is not possible in 2016 to simply pull up the drawbridge and retreat to an idyllic isolation.
"And even if it were, surely that isn't the kind of country we want Wales to be.
Ms Wood said she wanted a "decentralised, partnership of equals" as "the basis for the new Europe".
Jill Evans added: "We want a stronger voice in Europe but we can't lose the voice we have now.
"There is a lot we'd like to change but we can only do that from within."
Sam Gould from UKIP Wales responded: "What's most ironic here is that Plaid's primary purpose is to campaign for an independent and self-governing Wales.
"When we leave the EU we'll be able to have control, and many of the areas such as fishing, farming, regional regeneration and trade will be be devolved here to the Senedd.
"Is it that Plaid Cymru just want to see the Senedd become a rubber stamping centre for Brussels?"

The Blues defeated the Ospreys in the Pro12 for the first time since December 2010 thanks to dominant performance.
Five tries saw them build up a 35-3 lead before a couple of late tries flattered the Ospreys.
"It was outstanding. Derbies are won on physicality and we've come second to them a number of times," he said.
He continued: "Today we definitely won that battle. We were physical, put our imprint on the game and scored some fantastic tries.
"For 50 minutes we were in complete control. It was probably the most pleasing under my reign with beating them in the stadium.
"The Ospreys have an impeccable record in derbies and to beat them is a huge achievement."
It was a fourth successive defeat for the Ospreys in all competitions, with the region now clinging on to hopes of a top four play-off finish.
Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy criticised their attitude and admitted his side had been bullied in certain areas.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game with the way the Blues have been playing," said Tandy.
"The Blues dominated us around the breakdown. Their attitude and commitment in that area was far greater than ours and we were bullied at the breakdown.
"We didn't show enough fight and desire and one or two of them were feeling sorry for themselves which is not something you see too often in an Ospreys changing room."
Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones has been missing in the Ospreys' losing run through a shoulder injury picked up in Wales' Six Nations finale against France.
Tandy insisted he would not be rushed back for the final two games against Ulster and the Scarlets.
"He is in around the group, he has done a bit of lifting," said Tandy.
"His rehab is sticking, Al is going to be at the centre of what we do, it won't be a reaction of 'we need him back'.
"We won't put him at risk, we will speak with the medical team, see where he is at for the last two games of the season."
The officials were suspended as part of an investigation into mismanagement.
The government will directly oversee the running of the wildlife service, responsible for Kenya's national parks, for three months, a spokesman said.
Kenya has been facing growing condemnation over its failure to tackle an apparent rise in poaching.
Veteran conservationist Richard Leakey, a former boss of the Kenyan wildlife service, said last month that the country had become a global hub for ivory smuggling.
Dozens of poaching bosses had been allowed to act with "outrageous impunity", he said, in "a national disaster" that could result in the extinction of elephants and rhinos in the country.
According to officials, at least 18 rhinos and more than 50 elephants have been killed so far this year - a similar rate to that recorded last year.
However, some conservationists argue that the true figure is much higher.
The wildlife service recently denied that it was losing the battle against poachers.
On Friday, a senior environment ministry official, Richard Lesiyampe, said it had "become necessary" for the government to assume direct control of the wildlife service.
Mr Lesiyampe said the five officials had been placed on leave so as to pave the way for an investigation into the management of the service.
The AFP news agency quoted him as saying that the investigation would ask why sophisticated equipment - such as night-vision goggles and weapons - had yet to be deployed against the poachers, despite having been paid for.
"The poaching and trafficking in wildlife... has increased in sophistication and scope," he said. "We want to understand why our efforts are not working."
He also told reporters that the service would be restructured and equipped with 50 new vehicles and hundreds of new recruits.
The demand for ivory and rhino horn is being driven by China and south-east Asia, where these products are marketed as ornaments or so-called medicines.
The defending champions had been well below their best throughout, but still looked likely to defend their total of 238-8 as the Sri Lanka middle order buckled.
But, a brilliant 41-ball 56 from Eshani Kaushalya left the minnows needing only nine to win from the final over and, when Georgia Elwiss was dispatched over mid-wicket for a maximum, the result was as good as confirmed.
There was still time for Elwiss to drop a simple chance to remove Kaushalaya - who had earlier been dropped by Jenny Gunn - and the same batter to be run out looking for the winning run.
Two dots followed, but with a single needed to win and the final pair at the crease, Dilani Manodara hit the last ball of the match for six to give Sri Lanka their first win over England in any form of the game and with it, produce one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
"This was definitely a major blow. I think the girls should go away and forget about today and go back to basics. With the West Indies and India coming up they need to make sure they hit their mark in time for the Super Six stage. It is possible, but they need to go away and regroup."
With three teams set to qualify from Group A, England's chances of progressing are far from over, but they may now have to beat India and West Indies if they are to reach the Super Six stage.
And on this evidence, Charlotte Edwards's side need to improve in every department if they are to advance, as they were given a lesson in accurate bowling and boundary hitting by the lowest-seeded team in the tournament.
England's top order had failed to fire in the warm-up defeat by New Zealand and now, with a hamstring injury denying them the services of Sarah Taylor, they again struggled in dewy conditions after being asked to bat first.
Skipper Edwards, Danielle Wyatt and Lydia Greenway all fell cheaply, leaving Arran Brindle and Heather Knight to rebuild.
Their calm progress showed that the Sri Lanka attack posed no great threat, but Shashikala Siriwardene's side were so disciplined as to not concede a single boundary from the 18th to 41st over.
Still, it was batting errors that further hampered England, with Brindle run out after being sent back by Knight and the latter being bowled when attempting a slog sweep of the impressive leg-spin of Sandamali Dolawatte.
At 114-5 England were again in trouble as debutant Amy Jones - in the side as Taylor's replacement - joined Gunn.
Their response was a counter-attacking stand of 83, both players looking to sweep and use their feet to the spinners.
Finally England were able to use the lightning-fast Brabourne Stadium outfield to their advantage and, even though Gunn fell for 50 and Jones 41, Katherine Brunt arrived to hit the only six of the innings as 94 came from the final 10 overs.
Sri Lanka, though, were not daunted by the prospect of the chase and, with Yasoda Mendis enjoying the luck of being dropped off Brunt by Knight at first slip, she and Chamari Atapattu set about their task with some free-flowing strokeplay.
With the left-handed Atapattu often flaying through the off side and both players keen to sweep, some wayward England bowling was punished.
As an almighty shock became a possibility, England finally made the breakthrough when Atapattu slapped Brindle to midwicket.
And, after Brunt's extra pace had Mendis miscuing to Danielle Hazell, the door was open to make inroads into the Sri Lanka middle order.
But still Sri Lanka chased, led by the powerful Kaushalya, whose savage treatment of Gunn in the 48th over tipped the balance.
And, when she hit Elwiss into the stands two overs later, Sri Lanka were as good as home. There was still drama to come, but Sri Lanka were not to be denied.
In Friday's other games, elsewhere in Mumbai, New Zealand racked up a massive 320-5 after losing the toss against South Africa, as captain Suzie Bates scored 72 and Sophie Devine smashed six sixes in her 145 from 131 balls.
South Africa were never in the hunt, and were bowled out for 170 as the White Ferns wrapped up a 150-run win.
Meanwhile, in Cuttack, Pakistan bowled Australia out for 175 as left-arm spinner Sadia Yousuf taking 3-30.
However, only Bismah Maroof (43) made more than 10 in Pakistan's reply as they were skittled for 84 in 33.2 overs, handing the Southern Stars victory by 91 runs. | A charity is calling for a council leader to bring back a sculpture of a pig he has removed from a Staffordshire town centre.

Ariana Grande, Little Mix and Justin Bieber are among the stars at Sunday's concert, which will benefit the victims of the Manchester suicide bombing.
Fans who were at Grande's show on the night of the attack have been offered free places to the benefit gig.
In a statement, Ticketmaster confirmed it has allocated 12,000 tickets to such fans so far, out of 14,200.
But on Thursday the company said it had also received 10,000 "unscrupulous" applications for free places from people who did not attend Grande's concert.
Meanwhile, Grande has returned to the UK ahead of the benefit gig, and was photographed getting off a plane in London.
"Overnight, Ticketmaster processed a further 4,000 tickets for genuine fans, which is a total of 12,000 now processed out of the 14,200 we have set aside for genuine fans who were at the show on 22nd May.
"We urge all customers to check their inboxes, especially junk and spam folders, and claim their tickets by 2pm Friday.
"Registration has now closed, but we would like to reassure customers that we are still working through hundreds of applications and if they can verify that they were at the original show, they will get their tickets.
"There is a small number of instances where customers have not received their confirmation, however our customer service team continues to work extremely hard to contact customers as soon as possible and we ask for patience whilst we work through this.
"We will not stop until we have as many genuine fans at the show as possible."
After setting aside 14,200 places for attendees to Grande's original concert, Ticketmaster made about 35,000 further tickets available to the general public on Thursday morning. They sold out in 20 minutes.
But within hours some started appearing on secondary ticketing websites - which gives touts the potential to profit from what is supposed to be a charity event.
eBay told the BBC it was removing them as fast as it could.
"All tickets for this event will most certainly be removed by the team who are doing manual sweeps to pick up any that slip through," the company said.
"We also aren't allowing the sale of any item which profits in any way from the tragedy in Manchester. All of these items are being removed if they appear, and the sellers' accounts will be restricted."
Seatwave, Viagogo, GETMEIN and Stubhub have also stopped tickets from being listed.
Broadcasters in at least 38 countries have confirmed they will screen One Love Manchester live, despite the time zone differences.
TV networks in China, the US, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Canada and Australia will broadcast the show.
In the UK, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Manchester will all broadcast the concert live, in a programme hosted by Scott Mills, Jo Whiley, Phil Williams and Becky Want.
The concert will also be televised on BBC One and streamed live on the BBC iPlayer.

Yet back in 1994 they had been invited to give a presentation to Tesco's directors.
What Ms Dunn and Mr Humby said that day enabled the supermarket group to double its market share in little more than a year, transformed the way many of us shop, and ultimately made the couple multimillionaires.
After they had finished their presentation, an awkward silence followed for more than a minute.
This was eventually broken by Tesco's then chairman, Lord MacLaurin, who made a remark that has gone down in the supermarket's folklore: "What scares me about this is that you know more about my customers after three months than I know after 30 years."
So what was the secret of Ms Dunn and Mr Humby's presentation?
They had shown the Tesco board that their tiny business had the software and skills to do something the supermarket group hadn't been able to do for itself - work out almost exactly what Tesco's customers were buying.
Ms Dunn, now 56, says: "It was the defining moment."
Tesco quickly gave the couple a long-term contract and used their expertise to launch the Tesco Clubcard, the world's first supermarket loyalty card.
Ms Dunn and her husband had set up their business four years earlier, in the kitchen of their home in Chiswick, west London.
Called Dunnhumby, it was one of the first companies in the UK dedicated to analysing data to best work out the spending patterns of consumers.
Building on work the couple had previously done while both employed at the UK arm of a American software business (where they had first met and married after just one year), Ms Dunn and Mr Humby had a clear division of labour.
He was the software and data expert, and she was the chief executive who would look after the day-to-day running of the business.
Their first client was UK food wholesaler, Booker.
Studying Booker's sales in depth, they were able to advise the company on exactly what its customers were buying, allowing Booker to improve its distribution network.
Thinking about this these days, many might question why Booker wasn't already doing this itself. But back in 1990 no national retailer was properly collecting and analysing its sales data.
Retailers at the time obviously knew how much they were selling of a particular product, but the key point is that they did not know what combination of items consumers were typically buying. Dunnhumby was able to provide this information.
"The thing to remember is that data was thrown away in those days... there was no such thing as data mining or data profiling, this was all new," says Ms Dunn.
In 1994 a senior manager at Tesco got in touch with Dunnhumby because the supermarket giant wanted to launch a loyalty card.
The card would give customers special offers and money-off coupons, in return for Tesco finding out a lot more about what people were buying. Only the company was having difficulty dealing with all the data.
"They were struggling with their pilot, there was just so much data that they couldn't manage it," says Ms Dunn. "Remember that computers were not what they are today.
"So we were invited in to look at their data, and told not to get too excited, as it would only be one-off."
It was the start of a 16-year working relationship between Tesco and Ms Dunn and Mr Humby.
Thanks to Dunnhumby's help, Tesco was able to successfully pilot its Clubcard across nine stores in 1994, and then launch it nationwide a year later.
Ms Dunn explains how Dunnhumby was able to make the data work: "We brought in a statistician's mindset, which was 'some of the data, some of the time'. That is what the technology people at the time didn't grasp."
So she says that while Tesco had been trying to analyse 100% of consumer data, a giant task that was near impossible at the time and very expensive, Dunnhumby was able to show that they could instead just study a 10% sample and still achieve between 95% and 99% accuracy.
"When Tesco asked its IT department how long, and how much to do the [nationwide] roll out, they said three years and £50m," says Ms Dunn.
"We said £250,000 and 10 weeks."
The launch of the Clubcard was an immediate hit with Tesco's customers, with millions of people signing up, tempted by the promise of money-off coupons, and special offers that the supermarket group had arranged with the big brand owners, such as Coca-Cola and Nestle.
In just over a year it enabled Tesco to overtake Sainsbury's and become the UK's largest retailer.
But how exactly did Dunnhumby make millions of pounds from its contract with Tesco?
Firstly Tesco paid it an annual fee, but more importantly - and much more lucratively - Dunnhumby got a share of the money Tesco started to receive from selling to the likes of Coca-Cola the vast amount of consumer data it was now collecting.
Ms Dunn describes the start of the working relationship with Tesco as an "amazingly intense phase".
Dunnhumby's workforce "immediately" went from 30 to 70, and then continued to more than double every year.
"That was the fastest we could grow, it was our maximum capacity, as we couldn't hire and train enough people," she says.
With Tesco's blessing, Dunnhumby was soon signing similar deals with supermarket groups around the world, and then in 2002, Tesco bought a 53% stake in the business.
In 2010, Ms Dunn and Mr Humby eventually sold the remainder of the business to Tesco, pocketing a widely reported £93m in total.
Ms Dunn says: "It had always been our intention to ultimately exit the business, and we had come to the end of business plan. We had exceeded our numbers, and Tesco gave us more than they had promised.
"They were happy, and we were happy. And we were tired actually... I just needed a rest."
Yet after six months of relaxation in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, Mr Humby and Ms Dunn were keen to start working again.
And so a year ago, they joined a start-up business called Starcount, which aims to study which celebrities people follow on social media, and then sell on the useful information.
"Brands need to know what [and who] people really love. Only then can they introduce their brands in a way which feels relevant and personal."
Ms Dunn happily admits that Starcount is yet to make money, but earlier this year she helped it to secure multi-million pound investment.
And while she doesn't comment on Tesco's recent woes - the supermarket group revealed in September that it had overstated its profit guidance - Ms Dunn says she hopes it will continue to be committed to its Clubcard.

The Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas) had been pumping in heavy fluids and cement to seal the well.
The leak began in October in a vast underground storage field in Porter Ranch, on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
The natural gas leak, one of the largest in US history, has caused thousands to relocate.
The escaping gas at the Aliso Canyon storage field accounted for a fifth of all methane emissions - an extremely potent greenhouse gas - across the entire state of California.
"This has been among the worst environmental catastrophes in recent history," said Robin Greenwald, a senior attorney with Weitz & Luxenberg, a law firm which is taking legal action on behalf of some Porter Ranch residents.
"The public health crisis it caused is far from over," said Ms Greenwald, arguing that her clients still did not know if it was safe to return to their homes.
They were uncertain about the safety of the 114 other wells on the site and had not been given "assurances that the interior of their homes are safe," she said.
"The lack of transparency by all those involved is inexcusable."
The leak may be over but the blame game has only just begun. SoCal Gas and its regulators are squabbling over who was responsible for the catastrophic failure at Aliso Canyon.
The company insists it acted in accordance with the law. The state of California disagrees (although it has admitted that regulations might need tightening) and the battle is playing out in the courts.
Many residents of Porter Ranch and neighbouring communities, literally sick of the whole affair, think both sides are at fault, accusing them of an "incestuous" relationship. They have many outstanding questions.
What are the long-term health impacts of exposure to the gas? Will residents be compensated adequately for the nightmare of the past four months? Will SoCal Gas be allowed to continue operating the facility or will it be shut down?
There are questions too for the United States as a whole.
With gas in California's air and lead in Michigan's water, crumbling infrastructure and weak regulation are putting people at risk across the country, say environmental campaigners.
Action is needed at a national level, they argue, or the disasters will just keep happening.
Last week a crew from SoCal Gas injected heavy fluids into the well - in the Santa Susana mountains around a mile from the nearest homes - before pumping in cement to make a seal.
The gas company on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to criminal charges for allegedly waiting three days to report the huge leak back in October.
The latest estimate for the amount of methane emitted from the leaking well, taken on 13 February, is 94,067,040kg (94,000 metric tonnes), according to the California Air Resources Board.
Spokesman Stanley Young told the BBC this meant that during the leak California's entire emissions of methane rose "by roughly 20%", pushing up the state's total annual methane emissions by around 6%.
Mr Young said final figures for the amount of gas emitted would not be known for several weeks.
Aliso Canyon is a 3,600 acre site comprising 115 wells and is the second largest such facility in the US.
In early January, the company apologised but said it was not responsible for what environmental groups say is an environmental catastrophe.
Many living close to the site had been complaining of nausea, headaches and other symptoms. Environmental campaigner Erin Brockovich described it as the worst environmental disaster in the US since 2010.
The financial technology company made £17.5m for the year to the end of February.
First Derivatives employs around 1,200 people across the world.
It is one of only two publicly listed companies in Northern Ireland.
It has had a busy year in terms of acquisitions.
It bought a series of companies including Kx Systems in California in October 2014.
And it has made a further three purchases since the start of this year - Prelytix in Massachussetts, Dublin software firm ActivateClients and Affinity Systems in Ontario.
Seamus Keating, chairman of First Derivatives, said the purchase of a majority stake in Kx Systems enabled the group to "broaden its strategy".
He said: "The subsequent investment across the business, including three strategic acquisitions in 2015, positions First Derivatives as a leading player in big fast data across multiple vertical markets.
"This has been achieved while maintaining a strong focus on current trading, with a strong second-half performance from both our consulting and software activities, enabling the group to report record results and upgrade expectations for the current financial year."
The Australian, 20, was fined and given a suspended ban for remarks made about Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend last month.
Kyrgios lost 7-5 6-3 4-6 6-1 to Andy Murray at the US Open on Tuesday - his third match since playing Wawrinka.
"I'd like to think that I'm going to learn from it. I think I have. I think I'm on the right path," said Kyrgios.
"I don't think any of us in this room right now were perfect at 20."
Asked to be specific about what he had learned, Kyrgios added: "Keep your mouth shut at times."
Kyrgios was given a suspended 28-day ban and fined $25,000 (£16,200) by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), to be imposed should he transgress again.
That punishment only applied to ATP events, however, so was not in effect at the US Open.
The world number 37 was well received by the crowd at Flushing Meadows but understood "100%" why some spectators had jeered him at his previous matches.
He said: "There are still people in the crowd that are unhappy with what happened. And that's only normal."
Murray, 28, had previously been among those to call for understanding towards Kyrgios as a young player in the spotlight.
"I've had a really good relationship with Andy for a long time now," said Kyrgios.
"I've played him a lot. Never beaten him. I got a set off him today, so I'm making progress. He's always had nice things to say about me. We've had a lot of conversations on Twitter and stuff.
"Whenever I've needed something, I've come to him. I've sort of looked at a guy like him that's a really good role model for everyone."
Wawrinka, 30, also played in New York on Tuesday - beating Albert Ramos 7-5 6-4 7-6 (8-6).
He was later asked for this thoughts on the ATP punishment handed to Kyrgios.
"They took a decision, and that's it," said the Swiss. "You know, I don't care much about that any more."
Chris Rushworth (4-39) picked up three quick wickets, including two in two balls, to leave the visitors on 12-3.
Sam Hain (57) and Tim Ambrose (41) shared a stand of 98 to take Warwickshire to 138-4 but both fell in consecutive overs after tea.
Rushworth removed Rikki Clarke before bad light brought an early close with the Bears on 167-7, trailing by 147.
With the start delayed by an hour, a couple of rain interruptions and play being called off at 17:40 BST, just 43.3 overs were bowled in total.
When play got under way, Rushworth utilised the muggy, overcast conditions straight away by trapping visiting captain Varun Chopra lbw with the second ball of the day.
In his next over, the paceman found himself on a hat-trick when he removed Jonathon Webb and Laurie Evans, both leg before, but Hain survived the next ball by clipping it away to the boundary.
After further rain delays, Ian Westwood became the fourth lbw victim of the innings as he was dismissed by John Hastings, before Hain and Ambrose forged their fine recovery.
However, their good work was undone in the space of four balls when Hain was snaffled at short leg by Keaton Jennings off Hastings and Ambrose was out lbw to Durham skipper Paul Collingwood.
Clarke became the sixth leg-before victim of the innings just before the light closed in to give Rushworth his 51st wicket of the season.
Chris Woakes, making his first appearance of the season for Warwickshire after a knee operation, will resume day three on 12 not out.
Durham bowler Chris Rushworth:
"I feel I know my game inside out now and I've improved year on year.
"I've tried to hit the stumps a bit more this season rather than swing the ball away and it helps with the lbws."
Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes:
"It's been frustrating but the knee feels fine and I was happy with the way I bowled on the first day.
"I scored 90 for the second team last week, so now I need to get some runs here."
Its fossil bones suggested at the time the animal - this week named Patagotitan mayorum - could have tipped the scales at 77 tonnes.
Further investigation by scientists now put its likely bulk at 69 tonnes.
However, that still makes it one of biggest dinosaurs ever discovered.
A team from the Museum of Palaeontology Egidio Feruglio, led by Dr Jose Luis Carballido and Dr Diego Pol, reports its interpretation of the bones in the latest edition of the Royal Society journal Proceedings B.
The group had followed up the chance discovery in 2013 by a local farm worker of a bone protruding from desert rock near La Flecha, about 250km west of Trelew in Patagonia.
The excavation, filmed by the BBC for a David Attenborough documentary, eventually produced hundreds of bones belonging to at least six individuals.
A cast of the largest skeleton was put on display in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, US, last year.
This animal was more than 37m in length. It was a sauropod - one of those long-necked, long-tailed, plant-eating dinosaurs like the famous Diplodocus creature.
The beast would have lived in Patagonia when it was lush and covered by forest, between 100 and 95 million years ago.
Even though the researchers have now scaled back their assessment of its dimensions, Patagotitan could still be the all-time record-holder.
It is possible another mighty titanosaur called Argentinasaurus was just as big. The difficulty in knowing for sure is that far fewer bones of Argentinasaurus have been collected and studied.
This makes estimating its true size a lot more uncertain.
He was commenting in a tweet to news at the weekend that he is unlikely to be given a visa to perform in Australia because of his domestic abuse record.
The singer is scheduled to go on tour in Australia in December, and tickets went on sale on Monday.
He was told on Sunday that he had 28 days to appeal against the decision.
"I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence," Mr Brown tweeted. "I'm not the pink elephant in the room anymore."
"My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don't define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse," he said.
In 2009, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend, the pop star Rihanna. He has toured Australia twice since, but the government is under pressure to refuse him this time.
Australia's immigration department has issued a "notice of intention to consider refusal," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.
The singer has 28 days to present a case as to why he should be granted a visa, after which a final decision will be made.
Minister for Women Michaelia Cash, who was until recently assistant immigration minister, had urged Mr Dutton to take a stand on the issue.
It follows the government's decision earlier this year to refuse a visa for world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather on similar grounds.
Mayweather had been booked for dinner and nightclub appearances in Sydney and Melbourne in January.
New Zealand has already ruled that Brown is unsuitable for entry into the country.
Santa Cruz regained his WBA featherweight title on a majority verdict in Las Vegas on 28 January.
Frampton won the first contest between the pair six months earlier and wants the trilogy to be completed in Belfast.
"I'm hoping that Leo sticks to his word and comes to Belfast like he said. He can make it happen," said Frampton.
Santa Cruz hinted after the fight that he had other options in addition to a possible rematch with the Northern Irishman, and that his promoters would also have a major say in the next step of his career.
"Negotiations are at a very early stage but our team are slightly more optimistic than we were initially after the fight," said Frampton.

"He's the man that's fighting so he can make the decision and pull the strings. If he wants to come to Belfast he tells the promoter what he wants to do."
Frampton, 29, who suffered the first defeat of his career at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, also reiterated his desire for his next fight to be staged at Windsor Park, home stadium of the Northern Ireland football team.
"I want to fight in Belfast next. I want to fight at home. I feel like I've been on the road now for about two years or so," he said.
"If it's not him, I'll be fighting in Belfast against someone else, although I don't know who that is.
"That's what I've wanted to do for a long time. It's been a dream of mine to fight at Windsor Park. I was in the stadium tonight and it looks outstanding.
"I can just imagine a ring right in the middle of it and winning back my title at Windsor would be a dream come true."
The body was exhumed in 2010 in a bid to confirm the cause of his death.
Brahe was thought to have died of a bladder infection, but a previous exhumation found traces of mercury in hair from his beard.
However, the most recent tests have found the levels of mercury were not high enough to have killed him.
Some have speculated that he was killed on the orders of the Danish king, or by fellow astronomer Johannes Kepler, who also later gained fame.
A team of Danish and Czech scientists have been working to solve the mystery by analysing bone, hair and clothing samples.
"There was mercury in the beard, you will also have traces of mercury if you have a beard... But the amount of mercury was as you see in people [alive today]," Dr Jens Vellev, from Aarhus University in Denmark, who is leading the investigations, told BBC News.
Dr Vellev now thinks there was no foul play involved in Brahe's death.
"It is impossible that Tycho Brahe could have been murdered," he explained. When asked whether other poisons could have been used, Dr Vellev said: "If there were other poisons in the beard, we would have been able to see it in the analyses."
Instead, he says, the description given by Kepler of Brahe's death at the age of 54 matches up well with the progression of a severe bladder infection.
One widely told story about Brahe was that his bladder burst at a royal banquet when he had been too polite to leave the table and relieve himself. Accounts say he died 11 days later.
Tycho was born Tyge Ottesen Brahe in 1546 in Scania, which at the time was a Danish province, and studied astronomy at the University of Copenhagen, as well as German academic institutions.
He catalogued more than 1,000 new stars and his stellar and planetary observations helped lay the foundations of early modern astronomy.
On his death in 1601, the astronomer was buried at Tyn Church near Prague's Old Town Square.
His body has been exhumed before, in 1901. Tests on a sample of hair from his moustache, taken at that time, have been conducted as recently as the 1990s and indicated the presence of mercury.
Brahe's fame is also partly due to his personal life.
He lost the bridge of his nose in a duel while at the University of Rostock in 1566, and wore a metal prosthetic for the rest of his life.
Dr Vellev said tests now indicated that the prosthetic was in fact made of brass, not gold and silver as accounts had suggested.
The high was short-lived however with the index closing down 0.15% at 19,907.63 points after hitting 20,004.99 in early trade.
Shares were boosted by Wall Street ending higher after US energy stocks performed strongly.
The Nikkei was also boosted on Friday by Japan's Fast Retailing.
Shares in Asia's largest clothing retailer closed up more than 3.5% on Friday following its announcement a day earlier that it had raised its income forecast for the full year to August by 20%.
Investors had also hoped for larger shareholder returns and a recovery in domestic consumption.
The Nikkei is up nearly 15% this year.
Shares on mainland China reached a seven-year high on Friday as the Shanghai Composite benchmark index crossed the 4,000 mark for the first time since 2008.
The index was up 1.37% at 4,320.71 in afternoon trade.
China's consumer inflation rate remained at 1.4% in March. The lukewarm data may see China introduce further easing policies amid its slowing economy, analysts said.
The country's producer price index showed that factory deflation continued with prices down 4.6%, although analysts had predicted a 4.8% fall.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index continued its week-long rally. It rose 1.1% in morning trade, but by mid-afternoon the index was up just 0.15% at 26,984.55.
The chief executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange said it would "substantially increase" the quotas for the stock connect program between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
His comments came after Chinese investors used up the entire 10.5bn yuan ($1.7bn; £1.1bn) daily quota for buying Hong Kong stocks through the trading link for the first time on Wednesday, sending turnover to a record.
Australian shares were also higher through the day, closing in on a seven-year high.
The S&P/ASX 200 index ended the day up 0.6% at 5,968.4.
Shares of mining giant BHP Billiton weighed on the benchmark, closing down 0.15% on lower iron ore prices.
In South Korea, the Kospi closed up 1.4% at 2,087.76 after ratings agency Moody's lifted its outlook on the country from stable to positive.
Michael Morrison headed in a second-half corner before Clayton Donaldson grabbed a second goal in injury time.
Brentford, who sacked head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen on Monday. were beaten on home soil at Griffin Park for the second time in four days
Alan Judge struck the bar late on with Brentford's best chance of the game.
New Brentford boss Lee Carsley was unable to prevent the Bees suffering a defeat against one of his former clubs.
The former Republic of Ireland international was handed the job until the end of the season when Dutchman Dijkhuizen left Griffin Park after just nine games in charge.
Carsley's side started positively and Marco Djuricin should have tested Tomasz Kuszczak in the Birmingham goal twice before half-time only to shoot wide from inside the area and have a shot from a Jake Bidwell cross well saved.
David Cotterill had the visitors' best chance of the half but his header was saved by David Button before
Centre-back Morrison did put Birmingham ahead after the break, rising at the back post to head in Cotterill's corner.
Judge struck the woodwork from the edge of the box as a helpless Kuszczak watched on, while at the other end Blues substitute Jacques Maghoma shot over from close range.
But Donaldson finally doubled the lead in stoppage time against his former club, racing on to Stephen Gleeson's long ball and lofting it over an onrushing Button.
Brentford boss Lee Carsley:

"We did okay in the first half but didn't really carry much threat. There's a lack of confidence and that's the hardest thing in football.
"We have players here who are new to the English game and we need to give them a bit of time.
"I would rather lose 2-0 trying to get something out of the game, so if Alan Judge's shot goes in off the bar then it's a different story. I was disappointed that we went a little ragged after they scored but we have some good players here and they will go on to have a great season."
Birmingham boss Gary Rowett:

"We knew Brentford would have lot of possession but we are quite happy with teams doing that and we kept our shape and asserted control in second half.
"Gradually we grew into the game and had far more clear cut chances than them. We have some clever players in there who know the game and as it went on our fitness levels got better and better and we attacked well and thoroughly deserved our two goals.
"We could have expected Brentford to bounce back for their new manager but we quelled that and took our chances when we needed to.
"We kept our shape and discipline and in the end I thought we were quite comfortable winners."

With almost all votes counted, Mr Macri led Daniel Scioli by 51.5% to 48.5%.
He danced on stage at a victory rally at his Buenos Aires headquarters and thanked his staff for their support.
Mr Macri's victory is the first in more than a decade for Argentina's centre-right opposition and ends the 12-year rule of the Peronist Party.
"Today is a historic day," said Mr Macri, addressing thousands of cheering supporters. "It's the changing of an era."
Sunday's victory completes a turnaround for Mr Macri, who is currently mayor of Buenos Aires, after he lost in the first round of voting to Mr Scioli.
But Mr Scioli, who is the governor of Buenos Aires province, did not command enough of a lead to win the vote outright, forcing a run-off - the first in the country's history.
Mr Macri went into Sunday's vote with a comfortable lead in opinion polls, and campaigned on pledges to bring new investment into the ailing economy, tackle crime and fight corruption.
Macri's vision for Argentina
As he danced around on the stage, like an embarrassing grandfather at a wedding, Mauricio Macri couldn't care less - he'd produced an election result against a party that has dominated Argentine politics for more than a decade - a result that few would have predicted just a few months ago.
In the end it was close, about a 3% margin over the deflated Daniel Scioli. He'd been handpicked by the outgoing president but could never match Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's charisma or her bond with the Peronist Party's working class base.
Economic reform will be Mr Macri's number one priority but he gave little away in his victory speech. It will not, though, be easy. Argentina is divided. While most of the white, middle class supporters at the victory rally will hope for a more liberal, open economic climate - the working class, banner waving youth at the ruling party "wake" will hope that warnings about welfare reform and government cuts do not materialise.
The son of one of Argentina's richest men, Mr Macri had a long career in business before entering politics.
In 1991, he was kidnapped and kept captive for 12 days by a gang of corrupt policemen demanding millions in ransom.
Four years later, he became president of Boca Juniors Football Club and used his success at the club as a springboard for his political career.
Mr Scioli, a close ally of outgoing President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, had been expected to win by a greater margin in October.
He tried to regain momentum before Sunday's runoff by attacking Mr Macri's market-driven economic policies as a throwback, but failed to regain a lead in the polls.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said prices were being fuelled by a shortage of new stock.
Its latest UK Residential Market Survey showed 38% more chartered surveyors in Scotland saw house prices rise rather than fall last month.
The outlook for the year ahead was positive, with a net balance of 54% expecting to see further price growth.
The survey suggested buyer demand levelled off in October, following 12 months of steady growth. Supply also remained broadly unchanged.
Despite the moderation in demand, sales activity continued to rise, with a net balance of 26% more respondents seeing an increase in transactions.
Registers of Scotland reported last month that the number of houses sold in Scotland had risen to its highest level for more than seven years.
A total of just over 28,000 properties were submitted for registration between July and September - a year-on-year quarterly rise of 6.5%.
However house prices fell slightly, with the average home selling for just under £169,400.
Rics director Sarah Speirs said: "It is hard to get away from the issue of supply when it comes to the current state of the housing market.
"The legacy of the drop in new build following the onset of the global financial crisis is now really hitting home, with both the sales and letting markets continuing to show demand outstripping supply on a month-by-month basis.
"Rics would like to see a commitment from the next Scottish government administration that delivers a definite plan for delivering attainable targets across all housing tenures to ensure that supply needs are met."
The Rics survey also indicated that demand continued to outpace supply in the Scottish lettings market in the three months to October.
As a result, rental expectations remained strong, with a net balance of 12% of respondents expecting a rise in rents over the next three months.
The RMT announced the action last week in a dispute over plans to bring in more driver-only-operated (DOO) trains.
It said the rail company was "resorting to lies and dirty tricks to try and undermine our action", due to take place on 13 March.
Northern said the posters at Manchester Victoria station were put up in error.
The RMT announced the walkouts in a dispute with rail operators over plans to remove the responsibility of opening and closing train doors from guards.
General secretary Mick Cash said the measures will make trains potentially dangerous.
He described the posters as a "desperate move by a company that is prepared to resort to lies and dirty tricks to try and undermine our action in the guards safety dispute".
A spokesman for Northern said: "The poster is part of a customer communications pack sent to our stations. These always cover every eventuality, especially in the event of strike action, as this allows us to get information out as quickly as possible to customers.
"Unfortunately one of our stations displayed the wrong poster which was quickly removed."
A spokesman for the RMT union called the rail company's response "pathetic".
He said: "To try and lump the blame for this scandal onto the staff themselves is despicable."
"Instead of sinking to these kind of tactics they should be in a room with us negotiating a settlement."
Northern rail stressed it had received no communication from the RMT that planned strike action had been cancelled.
It said it remained committed to finding a resolution.
Staff at Southern rail and Merseyrail are also due to strike in a dispute over the role of guards on 13 March.
At the end of that period tenants could find themselves having to pay at least 25% more than they do now, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).
Simon Rubinsohn, Rics chief economist, blamed government moves to discourage buy-to-let landlords.
"In the long run I'm concerned that rents might increase rapidly," he said.
However, he predicted that house prices would continue to rise faster than rents in 2016.
According to Rics estimates, house prices will increase by 6% next year, and rents by 3%.
Over the longer term, the Rics survey suggests rents could rise by an average of 5% each year for the next five years. House prices, it predicts, could rise by 4.7% a year.
The government has announced a series of measures to promote home ownership, but is introducing tax changes that will make life harder for landlords.
From 2017, they will be able to claim less tax relief on their profits. And from April 2016, they will have to pay a higher rate of stamp duty.
"Critically our principal concern with the measures announced by the government is that they are overly focused on promoting home ownership, at the expense of other tenures," said Mr Rubinsohn.
"Discouraging buy-to-let could see private rents take even more of the strain."
However, he welcomed the government plans to build more homes for sale, saying that could help ease house price growth.
Rics predicts that East Anglia is the region likely to see the fastest growth in house prices in 2016, at 8%, while the West Midlands and the South East will also outperform the market.
However, the North East of England is expected to see the slowest growth, at 3%.
A semi-submersible heavy lift ship will be used to move the damaged Transocean Winner.
It is currently at anchor in Broad Bay on the east coast of Lewis after being refloated from rocks at Dalmore where it ran aground during a storm.
The installation will be decommissioned in Turkey.
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said it was likely to be moved before the end of September.
Local politicians had urged the owners of the drilling rig to carry out the decommissioning work in the Highlands and Islands.
Angus Campbell, the leader of Western Isles local authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, suggested that it could be scrapped at facilities near Stornoway on Lewis.
SNP MP Ian Blackford said the structure could be dismantled at a yard at Kishorn in Wester Ross.
Mr Shaw told BBC Alba the lifting operation would take place in deeper water about two miles from where the rig is anchored.
It could take up to 12 hours for the ship to lift the Transocean Winner.
Mr Shaw said: "We need really good weather. This probably is the wrong time of the year to be doing this operation, but we have to deal with the cards we have been given."
Former Tottenham trainee Obika scored 12 goals in 35 appearances for the Robins in all competitions this season.
The 25-year-old, who joined Swindon from Spurs in September 2014, has one year left on his current deal.
"He realises that if he goes and has a good year next year, he walks away for nothing and can quadruple or treble his money," Power told BBC Wiltshire.
"It's the first season that Jon's had a long run of games and I think everyone would agree he looks a different player - he looks strong, he looks fit.
"We've asked Jon to sign a new deal and obviously Jon doesn't want to which is his prerogative, not because he doesn't like the club, but everyone has to realise these are humans and they've got families."
Power also said he would like to keep forward Nicky Ajose, 24, who has had a one-year contract extension triggered by the club.
"My job is if the decision is made that he wants to leave, whether it's by the club or by Nicky, that I get as much money as I can," he added.
"Obviously I want to keep him, we'd like to. I think if we kept those two next season, I think they're going to have another good year and I think Jon will get more goals."
The German, 20, took the first set but eventually fell to a 3-6 7-5 7-6 (7-1) 7-6 (7-4) defeat on Grandstand Court.
He had three set points in the 12th game of the fourth set to take it into a decider but Coric saved them all and sealed victory in the tie-break.
Despite winning five titles this year, Zverev has still not progressed beyond the last 16 of a Grand Slam.
"It's upsetting because the draw is pretty open in the bottom part - I felt like I should have been the favourite there. I just played a very, very bad match, that's just the way it is," he said.
"I've been dealing with expectations from a very young age, so for me this is just another step.
"I know that I could have done some big things here, something that I haven't done before, but I won't. It's as simple as that."
Elsewhere at Flushing Meadows, Grigor Dimitrov made an assured start to his US Open with a 6-1 6-4 6-2 win over Czech qualifier Vaclav Safranek.

The bottom half of the men's draw is an oasis of even greater opportunity after the events of Wednesday. Marin Cilic and John Isner are the only members of the world's top 15 who remain after the defeats of Alex Zverev and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Kyle Edmund will be relishing the chance, even though he knows only too well the dangers poised by the brilliant 18 year old Denis Shapovalov, who beat him at Queen's Club in June.
Youth still has much to do to sear its mark. If the seedings go to plan, the quarter-finals in the bottom half of the draw will pit Isner against Kevin Anderson and Cilic against Pablo Carreno Busta.
The British actress told Elle magazine she had accepted the role on condition she is allowed to do her own driving.
"I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive'," she revealed. "We'll see how it transpires."
The 70-year-old's involvement in the project was later confirmed on the film's Twitter feed in a post headed: "It doesn't get better than this."
Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron and Jason Statham are also set to appear in Fast 8, which will be released in the US and UK on 14 April 2017.
The series, which began in 2001, has enjoyed huge success with its combination of fast cars, exotic locations and often outrageous action.
Furious 7, the most recent instalment, is the most successful entry to date, having made more than $1.5 billion (£1.05 billion) worldwide.
The 2015 release was tainted by tragedy when one of its stars, actor Paul Walker, was killed in a car crash towards the end of production.
Dame Helen, who was seen behind the wheel of a Land Rover while playing the title role in The Queen, told Elle she had "always rather loved driving".
"Film is a wonderful thing and it can be so many different things," the Oscar-winner went on, saying she had accepted a role in Fast 8 "for the fun of it".
Diesel was recently spotted driving with co-star Michelle Rodriguez in Havana, Cuba, one of the locations featured in the eight Fast and Furious film.
Nicola Sturgeon was speaking during the final first minister's questions before the election.
Labour leader Kezia Dugdale had accused her of refusing to "reverse George Osborne's tax cuts for the very rich".
And Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Ms Sturgeon's "big idea" on tax was to do "literally nothing".
Tory leader Ruth Davidson used the session to criticise the Scottish government's named person scheme.
The Scottish Parliament is due to be given wider powers over income tax rates and bands from 1 April of next year.
Ms Sturgeon confirmed on Tuesday that the SNP would not adopt UK government plans to raise the starting point at which workers pay the 40p income tax rate from about £43,000 to £45,000 next year.
And she said the basic rate of 20p would be frozen for the full five years of the next Scottish Parliament term, with no increases in the 40p and 45p rates next year.
But she did not propose raising the income tax rate paid by those earning more than £150,000 from 45% to 50%, as has been proposed by Scottish Labour.
Instead, Ms Sturgeon insisted that no taxpayers would see their income tax bill rise if the SNP wins the election on 5 May.
Ms Dugdale told the Holyrood chamber that Ms Sturgeon had previously said it was "right that those with the broadest shoulders pay a little bit more".
Ms Dugdale added: "This is the first minister who made her name as the anti-austerity champion. She went down to England and said she would stand up to George Osborne's tax cuts.
"Yet the minute she gets the powers back home, the first minister chooses not to act."
Ms Dugdale said the STUC had described the SNP's tax proposals as "timid" and "difficult to fathom", and that changes made by HMRC had made it harder for the highest earners to avoid paying tax.
She asked: "If the SNP can't summon the courage to propose major progressive change at this moment in time, will they ever?"
And she said hearing the first minister "arguing that Scotland can't go it alone on tax really takes the biscuit."
Ms Sturgeon said she would "leave it to Labour to indulge in political gestures" and would instead "get on with putting forward the proposals that will see this country governed fairly and progressively".
The first minister said it would be "politically easy" to raise the top rate, as the move would only affect about 17,000 people in Scotland.
But she pointed to research which suggested that if 7% of Scotland's top tax payers left the country in order to avoid paying an increased income tax rate, Scotland would lose £30m a year in tax revenues.
Ms Sturgeon added: "Doing it in the face of analysis that says that right now it could actually reduce the amount of money we have to invest in our National Health Service and our public services would not be radical, it would be reckless. It would not be daring, it would be daft.
"So we will not do it straight away. Instead we will continue to consider it in light of our experience and analysis, and in the meantime we will put forward fair, reasonable and progressive tax proposals.
"We will ask the better off in our society to shoulder a bit more of the burden, and over the life of the next parliament our proposals, local and national, will raise an additional £2bn of revenue we can invest in our National Health Service, in our public services and in mitigating the impact of Tory austerity."
Like Labour, the Scottish Liberal Democrats have called for an immediate 1p raise across all income tax bands in Scotland in order to raise £475m for education.
Mr Rennie asked Ms Sturgeon why, "after waiting 80 years to get these powers, she has been so timid with them".
He added that the SNP had said its tax policies would raise a further £1bn in additional revenue, yet "no taxpayer will see their bill increase".
Mr Rennie said: "If nobody pays any more, no government can spend any more. That means the opportunity to transform education is missed, it means nursery education targets will be missed, the attainment gap in schools will keep being missed."
Meanwhile, Ms Davidson said the SNP wanted to "impose a named person on every child in Scotland, over the heads of parents, against the wishes of the majority of this country, and against the concerns of many, including the police, who believe it will take resources away from the most vulnerable families who need it most."
She asked the first minister to "make it absolutely clear" whether parents who do not agree with the scheme would be able to stop their child from having a named person, and withdraw their child from all named person provision.
Ms Sturgeon said named person was a "good and sensible entitlement" and "not an obligation".
She added: "It helps families get the support they need from services when they need it, and it does not in any way, shape or form replace or change the role of the parent or carer, or undermine families."
Ms Davidson responded: "Named person legislation is so sweeping and now so unpopular that it is no wonder that the first minister is trying to spin her way out of it.
"But isn't it dishonest to suggest that a parent choosing not to engage with a named person is the same thing as being able to stop their child having one imposed in the first place?"
Ms Sturgeon insisted: "The fact is children and parents are not legally obliged to use the named person service or take up any of the advice or help that is offered to them, but it will be available to them if they need it at any point in the future."
West Mercia Police said a review into the Redditch attack had highlighted areas, including forensic results, where reinvestigation was necessary.
Victor Nealon, who was living in the town at the time, was jailed for life over the attack on the woman, which happened in 1996.
His conviction was quashed in December.
The Court of Appeal made the ruling after hearing fresh DNA evidence cast doubt on the 1997 verdict.
Police carried out a case review and found forensic results relating to the victim's clothing needed further investigating.
A spokesman said the inquires might take "a considerable amount of time" and that police were liaising with the victim.
Mark Newby, Mr Nealon's solicitor, said his client was pleased police were reinvestigating.
Amir Bakhjam, 38, had claimed they had consensual sex, but the woman said she had woken up in his bed to find him "helping himself."
Thee 25-year-old victim had been in a nightclub with Bakhjam on 22 July 2015, and had gone home with him after having a row with her boyfriend.
Bakhjam, of Yoker, was also placed on the sex offenders register.
At the High Court in Glasgow, judge Graeme Buchanan said: "You seek to avoid responsibility and to blame your victim for creating the circumstances which lead to events which resulted in your conviction."
He added that Bakhjam had subjected his victim to a "distressing and humiliating ordeal".
The court heard that the woman and her boyfriend met Bakhjam in Ashton Lane in Glasgow's west end, and they had all gone to Kushion Night Club in Bath Street.
In evidence the woman told the court that she had drunk almost a full bottle of Prosecco, six rum and cokes, a cocktail and a number of shots.
The woman said: "The last thing I remember is going up to get another round of drinks at Kushion."
In a phone call to a friend that night Bakhjam described his victim by saying: "She's steaming. She's out of it, she's a riot."
He was found guilty of removing her clothing and raping her while she was heavily under the influence of alcohol, a drug or similar intoxicating substance and was unconscious or asleep and incapable of giving consent.
Billy Irving, from Connel, Argyll, was among 35 sailors and guards who were arrested on the anti-piracy ship MV Seaman Guard Ohio on 12 October 2013.
His fiancée Yvonne MacHugh raised concerns about his safety after an alleged assault on another British man also being held in the prison.
She told BBC Scotland: "Our men are good men. They are innocent."
Former soldier Mr Irving is among six UK nationals arrested after the anti-piracy ship they were working on strayed into Indian waters without permission.
The other five are:
The charges against them were later quashed but the men were unable to leave India while prosecutors pursued an appeal which was successful. They were subsequently jailed for five years.
They have always denied any wrongdoing and their families have been campaigning tirelessly for their release.
Earlier this month, relatives of John Armstrong claimed he had been taken by prison guards to a mental institute where he was drugged and beaten.
Ms MacHugh, along with the Mr Armstrong's sister Joanne Thomlison, is meeting with officials from the Foreign Office and later with the High Commissioner of India to raise the matter.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland ahead of those meetings, Ms MacHugh described conditions in the prison in Chennai as "pretty horrific".
"They have to pay for clean water and have very little food. If it wasn't for the care packages that friends, families and strangers send to them then they would be malnourished. They are sleeping on floors, with no air-conditioning and no sanitary essentials. It really is disgusting."
Last month Ms MacHugh, who has a two-year-old son, visited her partner in the jail.
She said: "I'm doing okay. I am kept busy with our son. I am working and trying to fight for justice for Billy so that keeps me very much focussed.
"Billy, on the other hand, has nothing. He's just in prison and can't do anything, can't see us, can't speak to his son. It's mentally challenging for him.
"We have very little communication. We have no phone calls."
Joanne Thomlinson also spoke to Radio Scotland and gave details about the alleged assault on her brother.
She said he was taken from the prison after the guards decided he was walking around too much.
"He was put in a cell and injected against his will. He was tied to a bed and had rags tied to his neck until he was barely conscious, and he was punched," she added.
The BBC has been unable to verify this account of what happened.
However, Ms Thomlinson said her mother has since visited John in prison and he is now "fit and well and getting on with it".
She added: "Unfortunately, this incident is just another thing that he and the other men have to accept and have to get on with. On a daily basis, they are coping with this injustice and everything that happens to them is an injustice and it's wrong.
"It's such a dangerous situation. It's a worry every day."
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We take all allegations of torture or mistreatment very seriously. When an issue is raised, if the individual consents, we will always urgently request a full and independent investigation be put in place by the local authorities and closely monitor the situation.
"Foreign Office staff in India have been providing support to all six men in Chennai since their arrest and continue to work to make sure their welfare is protected in prison. We are in regular contact with their families in the UK.
"We recognise what a difficult time this is for those involved and we have taken significant action on this case."
Ms MacHugh said the meeting with the High Commissioner of India was a chance to raise more awareness of the case.
She said she would tell him: "Our men are good men. They are innocent men who have been protecting lives since they began working. They are no threat to anyone."
Both women said their fight for justice was "all-consuming".
And Ms MacHugh said her fears now were also for her son William's future.
"On a daily basis we talk about Billy and I show him pictures and videos. If you show him a picture of who his dad is then he will say 'daddy'.
"He is so young and doesn't quite grasp having a dad or really understand. I just hope this situation doesn't drag on long enough that he does start to realise that other children have dads, and ask: 'Where is my dad?'"
The GMB union said its research suggested an increased financial burden will be placed on the Treasury via tax refunds to oil and gas companies.
It also called for urgent action to get Scottish ports and fabrication yards "decommissioning ready".
The UK government says it has provided more support than any other government in response to falling oil prices.
The GMB's Scotland secretary, Gary Smith, told BBC Radio Scotland that the costs of decommissioning were "far more than was originally projected".
He said the total bill could be "north" of £100bn and taxpayers may have to fund between 50 and 75% of that.
Speaking to the Good Morning Scotland programme, he said: "The reality is we have got foreign owned oil and gas companies that are going to enjoy huge tax breaks at our expense and they are taking vital decommissioning work abroad.
"That's what's happened with the Janice platform, the Maersk platform which is going to Norway, and of course we had the rig which washed up on Lewis on its way to be decommissioned in Turkey.
"So Scotland is losing out on this vital work because of a lack of investment and because of a failure and dishonesty and dithering on the part of the UK and Scottish governments."
Lang Banks, director of environmental group WWF Scotland, backed the union's report.
He said: "The GMB are absolutely right to highlight the massive liability facing UK taxpayers in order to clean up the mess left behind by North Sea oil and gas industry.
"Having made hundreds of millions of pounds in profits over the past few decades, the costs for decommissioning old rigs and restoring the marine environment should be being fully covered by the companies themselves."
Meanwhile, Scottish government analysis of fields nearing decommissioning claims their remaining value could increase by more than 50%, or almost £0.5bn, if there were successful measures to cut costs and boost production.
Scottish Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse urged the UK government to increase investment following last week's Oil and Gas UK report which called on government to work with industry to attract fresh investment and avoid premature decommissioning.
He said: "The Chancellor's Autumn Statement presents an ideal opportunity to offer the industry the support and clarity it deserves. The UK government must provide support in widening access to decommissioning tax relief to ensure that the full potential of late-life assets can be realised.
"To illustrate the potential opportunities, Scottish government analysis of fields nearing decommissioning has identified that the remaining value of these assets could increase by over 50%, or almost £0.5bn, if there were successful measures to reduce costs and increase production."
A spokesman for the UK government refused to comment on the content of the Autumn Statement.
But he added: "The UK government has provided more extensive support than any other government in response to falling oil prices.
"We have permanently zero-rated the petroleum revenue tax and halved the supplementary charge for the industry.
"The marginal rate of tax on mature fields has more than halved in the last two years." | Ticketmaster has asked for fans to be patient as it works through the applications for One Love Manchester.

The Democrat from New Jersey is accused of using his influence to illegally benefit a Florida eye doctor, who he admits is a long-time friend.
He is charged with 14 counts including bribery and conspiracy, but insists he did nothing wrong.
Mr Menendez is the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and an outspoken critic of President Obama's policies relating to Iran and Cuba.
The 14 counts include conspiracy and making false statements, as well as eight counts of bribery.
The multi-year investigation first came to light in 2013, when federal authorities raided the office of Dr Salomon Melgan - who was also indicted.
Their investigation focused on whether Mr Menendez used his office to advocate in favour of Dr Melgan including by intervening in a Medicare billing dispute.
Dr Melgan attracted more attention last year when government data revealed that he had received more money from Medicare reimbursements in 2012 than any other doctor in the United States.
He donated large sums of money to Mr Menendez's re-election campaign.
Mr Menendez, 61, has served in the Senate since 2006, and was in the House of Representatives for more than a decade before that.
He is considered one of the most influential Hispanic American lawmakers in Congress, and is the lead author of legislation that would tighten sanctions against Iran.
The senator is expected to make a statement later.
It is believed the woman was killed by rocks falling from cliffs but the exact details are still unclear.
An ambulance service spokesman said they were called to the incident just before 17:30 BST.
Emergency services are still at the scene which is under the control of South Wales Police.
A rapid response vehicle and a hazardous area response team were sent to the scene.
The Wales Air Ambulance was also called out.
BBC Wales understands a coastguard rescue team was also brought in to assist.
A police spokesman said: "South Wales Police officers are in attendance at an incident at Llantwit Major beach which was reported shortly before 5.30pm this evening.
"A woman in her 20s has been declared deceased."
There are numerous signs along the beach about the danger of falling rocks.
The police appealed for witnesses or anyone who was visiting the beach at that time to contact them.
David Bailey, professor of industry at Aston University, warned of a "big uncertainty" for the sector following the UK's vote to leave the EU.
Without a deal, he fears a return to the days when the industry faced a 10% tariff on exports.
The UK exports 77.3% of its car output, 57.5% of which goes to Europe.
"What we don't want in two years' time is to go back to [World Trade Organisation] rules which involve 10% tariffs on car exports," he said.
Prof Bailey added: "Remember, the car industry has had about £8bn investment in the last four years - companies coming here to produce cars largely for the European market. We do not want to deter that.
"So, we need to make it clear to those companies as quickly as possible that free access to the European market is still in place and we will have a good trading relationship with Europe."
Almost 1.6 million cars were built in the UK last year, up 3.9% on 2014. Industry analysts predict car output to reach record levels of around two million units by 2017, overtaking the 1972 record of 1.92 million.
Ford, which employs about 14,000 staff in the UK, warned on Friday that it would "take whatever action is needed to ensure that our European business remains competitive and keeps to the path toward sustainable profitability".
The boss of Nissan, which produces cars at Sunderland plant, has previously hinted that a vote to leave the EU could impact investment.
"There are going to be a lot of questions about (whether) you want to continue to invest in the UK for Europe if the UK is outside Europe," Mr Ghosn told CNBC before Thursday's referendum.
Esmond and Susie Bulmer's home in Bruton was targeted in 2009 and the couple's housekeeper was allegedly tied to a banister.
A total of 15 paintings worth £1.7m, and £1m of antique jewellery were stolen.
The men are due to appear at Bristol magistrates on 24 August.
The paintings included the famous Endymion by 19th century English painter George Frederic Watts, and Apple Blossom by early 20th century English artist Sir George Clausen.
All the paintings have been recovered, except for Sir John Lavery's After Glow Taplow.
The accused men are aged between 38 and 64 and from Dartford, Gloucester, London, Weybridge, Surrey, Birmingham, Solihull or have no fixed address.
The charges relate to conspiracy to rob, conspiracy to defraud, assisting in the realisation of stolen property, and converting criminal property.
The Bulmer family, originally based in Hereford, made their name in the cider industry.
Mr Bulmer was Conservative MP for Kidderminster from 1974 to 1983. He also represented Wyre Forest from 1983 until the general election of 1987 when he stepped down.
The art collector and his family made £84m when they sold their stake in the family cider business.
Bulmers was founded in 1887 by Percy Bulmer, the 20-year-old son of a Hereford clergyman.
James Tatton reached speeds estimated at between 112mph and 126mph in a 50mph zone before the crash on the A500 in Stoke-on-Trent, police said.
Sean Longstaff, 22, from Stoke-on-Trent and Marcus Smith, 22, from Stone, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash last August.
Tatton, 24, admitted causing their deaths in July.
He had drunk alcohol and taken drugs before the crash and was warned by friends not drive, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard.
The two victims were passengers in the car which collided with a heavy goods vehicle on the southbound carriageway at Cliffe Vale.
Sgt Ian Tanner, from Staffordshire Police said: "Tatton was driving whilst affected by drink, drugs and was travelling at excessive speed.
"His reckless actions caused the deaths of his friends Marcus and Sean and destroyed their families. Sadly this was the most tragic outcome possible to this incident."
Tatton, of Marlow Road, Stoke-on-Trent, was also banned from driving for nine years.
Its options could include votes for those serving less than six months, or those serving less than four years.
Friday is the deadline for the UK to comply with a European ruling that a current blanket ban is unlawful.
Sources had told the BBC there would be a vote on Thursday, but a source close to the justice secretary denied this.
The source would not elaborate further on whether MPs will be given a free vote at a later date.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said there would be a discussion looking at various options, with the aim of convincing judges in Strasbourg that the government was at least looking at the issues. The court has the power to fine the UK if it feels it is in breach of its rulings.
Our correspondent said it was likely MPs would uphold the ban on prisoner voting, where there is strong cross-party agreement on the issue.
In February 2011, the Commons voted overwhelmingly against giving votes to prisoners. At present, the only prisoners allowed to vote in the UK are those on remand.
Last month Prime Minister David Cameron told the Commons: "No-one should be under any doubt - prisoners are not getting the vote under this government."
Mr Grayling has said Parliament has the right in law to tell the ECHR that it does not accept its ruling, but said there would be "consequences" for the UK's position in Europe if MPs chose to defy the judgement.
Conservative MP, Sir Edward Garnier, a former solicitor general, said the justice secretary was stuck between its obligations to respect the European judgement and the opposition in parliament.
"Parliament and the wider general public simply don't want to be told what to do by the European Court of Human Rights, not least in this particular regard," he said.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said a vote on legislation would strengthen the UK's argument that it should retain its ban.
"You have to keep going back to the European Court on this because I think the job of the European Court is to look at what is proportionate, what is responsible," she told the BBC's Sunday Politics.
"We haven't passed laws on this before, even though we have passed motions, and I think when we do so, the European Court should look at it again."
Labour MP Steve McCabe said the discussion marked the beginning of a climbdown by the government.
"The prime minister and the justice secretary gave us an assurance that this wouldn't happen and that they would deal with the court. What they're now doing is preparing the way to give votes to prisoners. It's just another broken promise," he said.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "Is it wise for the government to flout international law, face a substantial fine and millions in mounting compensation claims, ignore the advice of its attorney general, prison governors, bishops to, and inspectors of, prison, and take up Parliamentary time and taxpayers' money in order to stop sentenced prisoners from acting responsibly by voting in democratic elections?"
The ECHR ruled in 2005 it was a breach of human rights to deny prisoners a vote.
The court said it was up to individual countries to decide which inmates should be denied the right to vote from jail, but that a total ban was illegal.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The government is considering how best to proceed following the judgment of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Scoppola. An announcement will be made to Parliament shortly."

Bale scored a goal on his comeback after three months out in Real's 2-0 win over Espanyol on 18 February.
The 27-year-old then came off the bench and played half an hour in Real's 2-1 defeat by Valencia on Wednesday.
"He's back at 100%. He's been training at full pace with us for a few days now and he's 100% fit," Zidane said.
Bale has returned to action a month before Wales' World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on 24 March.
Wales are unbeaten in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers but are four points behind the Group D leaders.
The Bishop of Burnley, the Right Reverend John Goddard, said he wants them to "seek out God's will."
Bishop Goddard is opposed to the introduction of women bishops into the church.
He was speaking to the BBC on the 40th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.
He said: "I'm not asking people to put their convictions to one side, what I am asking is they make room for other peoples' opinions."
The Church of England's ruling body has already decided that women bishops should be allowed, but now the measure must receive approval from a majority of the church's 44 diocesan synods, before returning to the general synod later this year.
It must then receive a two-thirds majority at the general synod before receiving parliamentary approval and the Royal Assent.
There had been speculation in church circles, denied by Bishop Goddard, that he may be prepared to leave the church on the issue.
He said: "I am looking for compromise as long as you see compromise as a strong and not a weak word.
"You should go with your convictions and share them with other people. Listen to other people and what they have to offer. You don't approach what they have to see with easy flip away answers.
"You really try to search to know the person, what their needs are and what they are trying to say to you. Then you try to respond to the person."
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Radio Lancashire to mark his anniversary, Bishop Goddard, who has been the Bishop of Burnley since 2000, said he had "fallen in love with the county."
"I find there's a warmth, if sometimes bluntness, in the people. I would hope they would continue to be as open as they have been with me. I have learned so much from the people of Lancashire."
The Bishop had a message for the county, where he is happy to stay for a long time: "Rejoice in your heritage but recognise above all that we have to build the future for our young people."
He urged the county to find ways of helping young people to be able to "dream their dreams and make them a reality."
Bishop Goddard also said we should find ways to make provision for Lancashire's less advantaged.
He said: "How, in our cities, towns and villages, can there be a growing responsibility for those who have for those who have not?
"Those are some of the questions I would want to raise, but I would want to raise them in the context that Lancashire is a good place to be."

The suspension was confirmed by leader Nigel Farage, who denied to the BBC it was revenge for her criticism of him.
"Sometimes people fall out with their own party and sometimes say and do things that perhaps they shouldn't," he said.
Ms Evans, on the party's list for the London Assembly elections, is fighting the decision in the High Court.
She recently joined the board of Vote Leave, a group campaigning for the UK to leave the European Union. Mr Farage has backed rival anti-EU group Grassroots Out.
In an interview with the BBC's Norman Smith, Mr Farage said: "She (Ms Evans) has been suspended this morning. There is possibly going to be a legal challenge to that.
"It's unfortunate. She is someone who appeared front-facing for the party and gave UKIP a good look in many ways. Sometimes people fall out with their own party and sometimes say and do things that perhaps they shouldn't."
Last year Ms Evans was demoted after saying in June "Nigel is a very divisive character in terms of the way he is perceived... he is not divisive as a person, but the way he is perceived in having strong views that divide people".
As deputy chairman she was in charge of writing UKIP's manifesto in the general election and was a prominent figure during the campaign.
When Mr Farage said he was resigning as leader after he failed to become an MP he anointed her as his successor, saying she had "emerged as an absolute tower of strength".
However, she was axed from her policy role in the party in-fighting which followed when Mr Farage changed his mind and stayed in the post of leader. Last month she lost her role as co-deputy chairman and welfare spokesperson.
But she remains one of the party's most prominent figures, and appeared earlier on Wednesday on Radio 4's Woman's Hour to make the case for improved women's rights outside the European Union.
One party member criticised the suspension and questioned whether UKIP's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) had sanctioned it.
"How has she breached party rules? Nobody in the NEC is aware and nobody has taken a vote," said Amanda Sanders, chair of the Kenilworth and Southam branch of the party in the West Midlands.
"Suzanne Evans is very likeable and she would bring in the female voters and she needs support. I will resign over this and I think quite a few of my fellow chairmen are prepared to, as well."
An apparently ordinary rabbit's hole in a farmer's field leads to an underground sanctuary said to have been used by devotees of a medieval religious order - but is everything what it seems?
According to local legend, the Caynton Caves, near Shifnal, in Shropshire, were used by followers of the Knights Templar in the 17th Century.
Located less than a metre underground, they appear to be untouched structurally.
Their original purpose is shrouded in mystery, but Historic England, which describes the caves as a "grotto", believes they were probably built in the late 18th or early 19th Century.
In its report, it said the caves appear to be used for "black magic rites" by modern-day visitors.
Michael Scott, from Birmingham, went to photograph the caves after seeing a video of them online.
He said: "I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didn't know it was there you would just walk right past it. Considering how long it's been there it's in amazing condition, it's like an underground temple."
The tunnel leads to a network of walkways and arches carved out of sandstone, as well as a font.
Mr Scott said the cave was "quite cramped" and those nearing 6ft (1.8m) tall would have to bend down to fit in. Some chambers are so small that those exploring have to enter them on hands and knees.
"I had to crouch down and once I was in it was completely silent. There were a few spiders in there but that was it. It was raining so the slope down was quite sludgy but inside the cave was bone dry," he added.
The caves were reportedly sealed up in 2012 in a bid to keep away vandals and practitioners of "black magic".
The Templars were a Catholic military order founded in the 12th Century to guard pilgrims on their way along the dangerous roads that led to Jerusalem.
Its members were effectively armed monk-like knights who were granted certain legal privileges and whose status was backed by the Church. They were reputed to be the possessors of great wealth and power.
In 1095, Pope Urban II promised the knights of Europe forgiveness of their sins if they went on a Crusade to win back Jerusalem for Christianity. Many responded by "taking the cross" and showed this act by cutting out red crosses before sewing them into their tunics.
Scrum-coach specialist Hatley, 46, a former England Saxons prop, has been with the Premiership club since 2012.
"Discussions are underway with the RFU," Bath managing director Tarquin McDonald told BBC Radio Bristol.
"Being on the coaching staff for England is one of the biggest jobs around so there is definitely appeal."
Since head coach Eddie Jones' appointment to the national team in November, Saracens' Paul Gustard has joined England as defence coach and Bristol's Steve Borthwick has arrived as forwards coach.
McDonald added: "Neal Hatley is a very experienced, good coach. A coach like Neal could definitely add enormous value. He's been an asset here at the club.
"In these types of situations, it's in everyone's instance that you conclude quickly so we can move from speculation to fact.
"Neal's very passionate about the club and we've got three games until the end of the season."
League One's bottom club are 13 points adrift of safety with six games to play, starting with Wednesday's trip to leaders Sheffield United.
"We know the reality of it," Robins told BBC Sport after Sunday's 2-1 win.
"Results didn't go our way on Saturday, but we'll keep fighting."
Robins, who returned for a second spell as Coventry manager in March, added: "We're trying to stave it off for as long as we can. After we've celebrated this, we've got to go to Bramall Lane on Wednesday and then face Peterborough at home next Saturday.
"But this was really important for us as a club. We've shown the football world we're alive and kicking."
About 43,000 Coventry fans watched their Wembley success and Robins continued: "The supporters are a massive part of this football club and this was a great day for all of them.
"To see the amount that turned up, with that much passion, surpasses anything I've done in football. The experience was phenomenal. The noise was tremendous. Both sets of fans were really good.
"It gives everybody a reminder that we have a really good fan base with so much potential. We just have to harness it."
Robins revealed after the game that the Sky Blues' opening goalscorer Gael Bigirimana was close to missing his moment of glory - only the Burundi-born midfielder's second goal for the club on his 74th appearance.
"His wife gave birth to their first child on Saturday, a little girl called Eden," said Robins. "He was missing on Saturday and he was touch and go.
"Our preparations were further hampered when we lost Callum Reilly with a hamstring injury. He was better on Saturday and I might have risked him, in the hope that he'd get through on adrenaline, but he'd not have lasted the 90 minutes.
"Chris Stokes hadn't played much of late so there was a question of whether he could get though the game and Jordan Willis has had a thigh strain and there was a doubt whether he could last 90 minutes.
"Extra time would have been horrendous for us, which is why I was so grateful to Lee Burge for making his late save."
Dauntless, a two-year-old farm dog, ran into the gully earlier this week.
After several failed rescue attempts by her owners, 12 members of the Aberdyfi Search and Rescue team stepped in to help.
On their second descent into the gorge, Dauntless was spotted on a rock ledge and hauled out in a rescue sack, apparently unharmed from her ordeal.
"We were all very pleased things worked out well for both dog and owners," said team member Graham O'Hanlon
"We rely on the cooperation of the farming community as we go about our rescue business, so it is good to be able to return the favour every now and then."
Staff at the Blyth Battery Museum discovered the gold pocket watch had been taken, at 16:00 GMT on Monday.
Northumbria Police said thieves forced a window to get inside to steal the watch from a display.
The watch had been given to James Thompson by the Military Merit Committee on 21 May 1920 "in recognition of his gallantry".
The thieves also stole a "large batch" of Easter eggs that had been collected for a children's egg hunt at the weekend.
PC Billy Mulligan said: "This is a unique watch which was proudly displayed at the town's museum reminding local people of the bravery of servicemen during World War One.
"We want to alert people that it has been stolen so if they do see it being offered for sale they know to call police straightway.
"By breaking into the battery and stealing these items the thieves have caused a great deal of upset to local people of all ages."

The six-time Paralympic gold medallist beat reigning champion Marcel Hug of Switzerland in a sprint finish to win for the first time since 2012.
The 37-year-old finished in one hour 31 minutes six seconds on Sunday.
"It's been challenging since Rio to get mentally focused and get ready for this race," he said afterwards.
"Because of the stuff that's gone on in my mind, it's definitely one of the biggest wins I've ever had in my career."
Weir's win - in this 18th London Marathon - meant he surpassed fellow Briton Baroness Grey-Thompson, who has six titles in the women's wheelchair race.
"To be honest, two or three months ago I didn't even think I'd get on the start line just because I've been struggling with a little bit of depression so to get here and to race and to win, and to beat Tanni's record, is just an honour."
In January, Weir said he would never wear a Great Britain vest again after an unsuccessful Paralympic Games in Rio last year.
A six-time world champion, he said he felt like he had been "stabbed in the back" after he crashed out of the marathon in Rio, his last ever Paralympic event, and indicated London could be his final race.
The thrilling finish on The Mall saw Weir edge out Hug and Spaniard Rafael Botello Jimenez, who was third, only three seconds behind the Briton.
Manuela Schar of Switzerland took victory in the women's wheelchair race for the first time in 1:39:57.
Schar, who won the Boston Marathon earlier this month, dominated the women's race and finished almost five minutes ahead of second-placed Amanda McGrory of the United States.
Another American, Susannah Scaroni, finished third in 1:47:37.
The event doubles as the IPC Athletics Marathon World Cup, and is the third race in the Abbott World Marathon Majors series.
Baroness Grey-Thompson, six-time London Marathon winner:
"That finish hasn't been there for the last few years. Everyone wanted him to have a good race.
"For him, as much as anyone else, that's a top win - he ran a devastating race.
"Well done, David Weir. I'm really proud of you."
A proposal for the 5,000-capacity venue on the site of the former Granada TV studios was approved in July last year.
The new home of the biennial Manchester International Festival was due for completion by summer 2019 but is now scheduled to open in early 2020.
The provisional timescale has evolved as plans developed, the council said.
The project was backed by former Chancellor George Osborne, who pledged £78m in last year's Autumn Statement as part of his Northern Powerhouse plans.
Council leader Sir Richard Leese said Factory will be "a complete game-changer" for the city and will "make Manchester and the wider region a genuine cultural counterbalance to London".
A planning application will be considered on 12 January and if approved, construction will start later in the year with the venue scheduled to open in 2020.
In order to meet the £110m costs, the council is proposing a one-off contribution of up to £20m, mainly funded from income received from land and property sales.
This will be combined with £78m Arts Council England funding, £5m in fundraising while an application for a lottery grant for the remaining £7m has been submitted.
It is hoped the development will boost the local economy, create jobs and provide training.
The building has been designed by world-renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and in November last year, the government pledged £9m a year for its running costs.
It will be located in a new area, St John's in Manchester city centre, which will also be home to independent businesses and 2,500 residential units.
Shaun Brisley's first of the season and a Charlie Wyke header gave Carlisle a comfortable half-time advantage before Nathan Smith's goal set up an exciting finish in which both sides had chances.
Carlisle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie was brought into action early on, when he was forced to dive to his left to parry a 20-yard shot from Tahvon Campbell.
However the home side went in front in spectacular fashion in the 10th minute when Brisley seized on a clearance 25 yards from goal and sent a first-time volley dipping over Artur Krysiak's head and just under the bar.
Shaun Miller came within a fraction of adding to the lead when his delicate chip beat the goalkeeper and rebounded off the bar. Nicky Adams failed to keep his follow-up effort down, lofting the ball over the top from inside the area.
The Yeovil defence was struggling to cope with Carlisle's bright movement up front and Wyke made it 2-0 in the 36th minute with a bullet header at the near post from Adams's right-wing corner, the striker's 14th goal of the season.
The Glovers got back into the game just three minutes after the break when central defender Smith got up well to meet Matt Butcher's corner from the right and direct a firm header past Gillespie.
Yeovil spent long periods in the Carlisle half and Smith again went close from an inswinging corner, but twice Jabo Ibehre missed out with clear chances on the break for the Cumbrians.

Jade Lynch, who was last seen on 26 March, was found in the Wigan area earlier.
Her social media accounts had been silent since she disappeared, leading to a appeal from her sister to the public to find her.
Cheshire Police had been following up a possible sighting of the teenager, from St Helens, Merseyside, in Manchester.
The museum, which documents the history of the Portuguese language, was severely damaged.
The blaze destroyed the roof of the "Station of Light" which was originally built by the British.
It was constructed in 1901 during the coffee boom to transport the beans to the Atlantic port of Santos.
One fireman was killed in the enormous blaze which raged unchecked for hours despite a heavy downpour.
The suburban railway line next to the burning building was closed for safety.
The "Station of Light" was named after the neighbourhood it was built in.
It was designed and built in 1901 by a prominent British railway station architect, Charles Henry Driver.
With its railway clock tower and its classic steel arched roof it was thought to have been modelled on British railway stations of the same period.
However, some historians say it was inspired by Finders Street station in the Australian city of Melbourne.
Khuder Al-Sweady told the inquiry 19-year-old Hamid's body had a boot-shaped bruise on the forehead, a broken arm, bullet wounds and signs of hanging.
The Al-Sweady inquiry named after Hamid is examining claims that detainees were mistreated and killed in 2004 after the so-called Battle of Danny Boy.
Britain's Ministry of Defence vigorously denies the claims.
It says all those who died were killed on the battlefield, and its counsel has said there is a "complete lack of credibility and reliability" in the allegations.
Mr Al-Sweady fought a long legal battle to have a public inquiry into the alleged mistreatment and unlawful killing of Iraqis at Camp Abu Naji (CAN) near Majar-al-Kabir on 14-15 May 2004 after fighting had finished.
In the first of two witness statements made in July 2010 and released today as he appeared, he said he found signs of torture on his nephew Hamid.
The inquiry - which is chaired by former High Court judge Sir Thayne Forbes - was told Mr al-Sweady and others went and searched the battlefield on 14 May after hearing about the battle.
The next day he said he and other relatives went to CAN, where they saw dead bodies being handed over.
They then travelled to the Al-Sadr Hospital, where they saw the body bags being opened.
He described what he saw as an "inhuman catastrophe", and in his statement he said injuries included not only bullet wounds, but missing eyes and, in one case, missing genitals.
He said that he wrote the names of some of those he could identify on their body bags, but some were too disfigured.
"I examined one of the martyrs, until even I put my finger in the missing eye," he said.
Mr Al-Sweady said that when Hamid's body was brought from the vehicles he washed it.
In his July 2010 statement, the 48-year-old said his nephew's injuries included bullet holes, "signs of torture on his chest", and "bruises by a boot to his forehead".
He said one of his arms was broken and there was a "hole in his neck".
"I would say there the primary cause of death was hanging and torture," his statement said.
Mr Al-Sweady told the inquiry that not including hanging in Hamid's death certificate and discrepancies between his descriptions and those of other witnesses had been a mistake, and said there had been problems with translation as he had given various statements.
Previous witnesses at the inquiry include Hamid's father, who said his son's injuries included marks around his neck that appeared if he had been electrocuted.
One of the detainees, Mahdi Jassim Abdullah al-Behadili, told the inquiry last month he feared being tortured and executed.
Lawyers for the MoD and the soldiers have questioned the accuracy of the evidence by some of the witnesses.
President Ashraf Ghani tweeted a picture of himself greeting the soldier, Sergeant Esa Khan, at his office in the capital Kabul.
The soldier is also to be promoted.
On Monday, TV stations showed Sgt Khan standing over the bodies of the Taliban attackers after their failed attack.
The militants had detonated a suicide car bomb but failed to get into the parliamentary chamber.
"I just killed them," said Sgt Khan who has been lauded on Twitter.
"I was standing there and saw them running towards parliament.
"I shot one. I saw another coming. I shot six - all of them are dead.
"I would give my life for this country."
At the time the interior ministry said the attack was repelled by police, with seven assailants killed.
Mr Ghani said he was proud of Sgt Khan's "resolve and heroism".
The soldier's commander, Gen Abdul Sattar, said Sgt Khan had been very close to the suicide attack and shot the attackers with the assistance of colleagues at the scene.
He described Sgt Khan - who belongs to the Pashtun majority from which the Taliban also draw their strength - as a hero for what he had done.
At least two civilians died in the militant attack and around 40 people were wounded.
The soldier alleged that Pakistan was behind the attack.
But the foreign ministry in Islamabad has issued a statement strongly condemning it and saying it is with Afghanistan "in our common struggle against terrorism".
Later it emerged that the vice-president, Abdul Rashid Dostum, had awarded Sgt Khan a new car, money and a medal. At the same time some MPs have given him a month of their salaries.
Meanwhile the Afghan army says it has recaptured a key northern district taken by the Taliban a few days ago.
Chardara district in Kunduz province lies just a few kilometres from the provincial capital, Kunduz city, and its airport, and the main road to Kabul runs through it.
The army's commander of ground forces, Gen Morad Ali Morad, told Tolo News television he was speaking from the district and "most parts" of it had been retaken.
However a neighbouring district in the same province, Dasht-e-Archi, remains in rebel hands a day after they took it.

Signeul, who has managed the Scots since 2005, has led the national side to their first-ever major competition.
The Swede said she had enjoyed "12 great years" at the helm, adding that Scotland would "always hold a very special place in my heart".
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan praised Signeul for her work to raise the profile of women's football.
Signeul and her squad are in Cyprus for a training camp and two friendlies against Denmark as part of their preparation for the Euro 2017 finals in the Netherlands.
Scotland have been drawn in Group D alongside England, Portugal and Spain and are targeting a place in the quarter-finals.
Signeul praised her players for the "wonderful achievement" of securing a place at the finals and said she has made the announcement now so preparations are not disturbed.
"We are determined to go there and make an impact," she said. "The focus is on the Euros and we know there is a lot of work to be done to prepare the team.
"Now that I have explained to the players the reasons for leaving, we will concentrate on making sure we are in the best condition possible for the finals."
Regan said Signeul had made a significant contribution to women's football in Scotland and that he expects her to leave on a high in the summer.
"Anna will rightly be lauded for taking the first Scotland women's national team to a major finals and that legacy is richly deserved," he said.
"More than that, though, she has worked tirelessly and to raise standards at all levels of the women's game and to increase opportunities for girls and women.
"She has been an inspiration and I have no doubt she will burnish that legacy during the Euro finals in the Netherlands."
The SFA said new performance director Malky Mackay will begin the process of recruiting Signeul's successor.
"I have only been here for a few weeks but I know that Anna is highly respected within the SFA, among her players and throughout the women's game," said Mackay. "That is the challenge for any potential successor.
"But the most important aspect is to ensure Anna and her squad can focus on their preparations for what will be an exciting and, I'm sure, a successful summer."
Famed for his role as the hapless Tom Good in the 1970s BBC sitcom The Good Life, Briers was an also an accomplished stage actor playing roles such as Shakespeare's King Lear and Chekov's Uncle Vanya.
He also appeared in several films, including a cameo as a bishop in the Spice Girls' 1997 movie Spice World.
Richard David Briers was born in London on 14 January 1934 to parents Benjamin and Morna.
He was inspired by his mother, a music and drama teacher.
Initially brought up in a flat above a cinema, Briers attended Rokeby Prep School in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, leaving at the age of 16 with no qualifications.
He briefly studied electrical engineering but gave it up to become a filing clerk, a job he continued in the RAF when he was called up to do his national service.
While serving at RAF Northwood in Hertfordshire, he met actor Brian Murphy (George and Mildred) who introduced him to the dramatic society at London's Borough Polytechnic Institute, now the South Bank University.
Briers starred in a number of productions after catching the acting bug and, taking advice from his father's cousin, the comic actor Terry-Thomas, went on to study at Rada for two years.
He was in a class with Peter O'Toole and Albert Finney, "who didn't need any lessons at all," he later recalled.
"I was painstakingly slow in my progress in comparison with them," he added. "I knew nothing about acting, I had to be taught everything."
Briers credited Rada director John Fernald with nurturing his talent. "He had a great confidence in me which allowed me to relax," he told the Guardian in 2008.
The young actor soon won a scholarship with the Liverpool Playhouse, where he met Ann Davies, the stage manager for the company and herself an actress. The pair were married within six months.
Briers made his West End debut in Gilt and Gingerbread at the Duke of York's Theatre in 1959 and two years later he got his big break in TV after landing the lead role in Marriage Lines alongside Prunella Scales.
He went on to star in Brothers in Law, and appeared in several other popular television programmes, including the Morecambe & Wise Show and Dixon of Dock Green.
In 1975 Briers was cast in the lead role for new BBC sitcom The Good Life - the part that would make him a household name.
The part had been specifically written for him by the scriptwriters, John Esmonde and Bob Larbey.
His character, Tom Good, decided to give up his steady office job on his 40th birthday and become self-sufficient.
He and wife Barbara (Felicity Kendal) continued to live at their plush home in the Surrey commuter belt of Surbiton, but to the horror of their well-heeled neighbours Margo and Jerry (Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington) they turned their garden into an allotment where they kept livestock, and started making their own clothes.
"I actually didn't think the series was going to be successful when I first read the script," he said last year. "I worried that it was all a bit mundane and middle class.
"But the moment that my character, Tom Good, leaves his job as a draughtsman for a company that makes plastic toys for cereal packets and attempts to live off the land in Surbiton, he becomes much more interesting."
The series, which came ninth in a 2004 poll to find Britain's best loved sitcoms, was hugely successful, with the last episode filmed in front of the Queen in 1978.
It was often repeated over the years prompting Briers to quip that people still expected him to look the same 25 years on when in fact "I'm an old git with white hair".
His distinctive voice was heard in a number of productions.
He was the narrator on the popular 1970s children's TV series, Roobarb & Custard and was the voice of the rabbit Fiver in the animated film of Watership Down.
He was a frequent voice on radio where he played Dr Simon Sparrow in BBC Radio 4's adaptations of Richard Gordon's comic novels Doctor in the House and Doctor a Large.
He also made a number of appearances as Bertie Wooster in radio dramatisations of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves books.
He appeared in a number of commercials, including voicing the griffin in advertisements for Midland Bank, now part of HSBC.
Briers went on to star as the obsessive Martin Bryce in Ever Decreasing Circles, again written for him by Esmonde and Larbey.
In 1987, hankering for more serious roles, he joined Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance Theatre Company where he took on a number of stage roles and appeared in Branagh's films of Henry V and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
In Frankenstein, he played alongside Robert De Niro, whose acting techniques were in stark contrast Briers' own, no-nonsense style.
"I'd learn the lines and say them, hopefully at the right time," he told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
But in one scene, Briers' character had to call De Niro, playing Frankenstein's monster, into a room.
"I said, 'I know you are there, come in, come in' - but nothing happened.
"Branagh was behind me saying, 'don't be a fool, you've got to make him come in. He's not like you. You've got to make him feel he must come in.'"
"I said, 'I've read the script. I say 'come in' and he comes in."
In 2000, he was catapulted back into the TV spotlight when he played Hector Macdonald, the ageing patriarch in Monarch of the Glen.
In recent years he had roles in Extras, New Tricks and Holby City and in 2012 he appeared in film comedy Cockneys and Zombies, where he was a resident in a home under threat from a zombie apocalypse.
He was appointed OBE in 1989 and CBE in 2003.
As he got older he seemed to relish his new persona as a grumpy old man, particularly when it came to comedy.
"They simply don't write funny stuff anymore," he once said. "A lot of it is very depressing. Or violent. Or both."
Earlier this year, the actor revealed his struggle with the lung disease emphysema - caused, he said, by a 50-year smoking habit.
"I get very breathless, which is a pain in the backside," he told the Daily Mail.
"I haven't even got the strength to garden any more. Trying to get upstairs - oh God, it's ridiculous.
"The ciggies got me. I didn't think it would go quite as badly as it has. It's a bugger, but there it is. I used to love smoking."
They were the cat with nine lives, or 14 to be precise, surviving each time to preserve their precious League status.
However, Lady Luck has finally run out of patience with Pools as they tumbled out of League Two on Saturday, thereby ending 96 years of League football.
Newport County's dramatic late win over Notts County meant Hartlepool's fine final-day victory over Doncaster counted for nothing.
BBC Sport looks at the factors behind their decline.
On a hot, late May day in Cardiff in 2005, one half of the Millennium Stadium dared to dream. Hartlepool United were just 19 minutes away from a place in the Championship after substitute Jon Daly - with his first touch - headed a Gavin Strachan free-kick past Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper David Lucas in the League One play-off final.
Wednesday, backed by 40,000 fans from the Steel City, eventually battled back level to take the game to extra time - during which they overpowered Pools.
Amid the pride, there were tears. Pools had been so near but so far from clambering into the second tier for the first time.
That was arguably the biggest game in the lifespan of Hartlepool until Saturday, when even a win over title-chasing Doncaster could not save them.
What happened in those 12 years?
If science was applied to the running of a football club, then most likely there would be an equation which said thus: High turnover of managers = Lack of success.
There are plenty of case studies, notably at Sunderland - a short hop on the A19 away - where relegation has also finally caught up with the club after consecutive great escapes that followed year-on-year changes at the top.
Hartlepool share more than geographical proximity with their more illustrious neighbours. The town was named among the most "dangerous" places to manage by a BBC feature in November last year - and that was before the departure of Dave Jones with two games to go and Craig Hignett's exit in January.
Since Danny Wilson departed in December 2008, Pools have rattled through nine different permanent managers. Only Paul Murray's 14.3% and Neale Cooper's second spell 17.1% win ratios were worse records than Jones' 22.2% success rate.
Former chairman Ken Hodcroft may not have been the fans' favourite by the end of 18 years at the helm of Hartlepool, but he oversaw a prudent business where every penny was accounted for.
He was a private man, with a Late Kick-Off interview with the BBC in 2012 one of the rare occasions he was filmed and placed in the spotlight.
Hodcroft's successor Gary Coxall arrived as chairman in June 2015 to bring that term to an end, as his JPNG company took over at Victoria Park.
His first interview with the BBC promised investment, not taking money from the club. However, Pools' financial status has been a constant concern, with three winding-up petitions issued this season and the late payment of wages.
While Coxall has been open with supporters, right up to his own departure with a game to play on the basis it would "unite fans" split by his tenure, results on and off the field led to the most disappointing period in Pools' history.
Finance director and replacement chairperson Pam Duxbury's job now will be to pick up the pieces, a task she has already started in the shape of dialogue with the Supporters' Trust about fan involvement in future plans.

"It's a big culmination of factors. The biggest finger of blame over the past year has to go to Gary Coxall and Dave Jones.
"Gary came in with promises, high hopes and ambitions but it's been two years of decline. He has left the club in a worse position.
"He took over from Increased Oil Recovery (IOR) - a stable and very safe pair of hands who looked after club superbly over the past 20 years. The past two years have seen winding-up petitions and financial troubles.
"It was a disaster under Dave Jones; a manager of his calibre and CV should not have taken 13 points from 51. His tactics were terrible and man-management was non existent. It did not work one iota at Hartlepool.
"The club has to stay full-time. You look at the amount of former EFL clubs in the National League that are floundering. York are a prime example of what can happen. It's about getting back in the Football League as quickly as possible."
Formed in 1908 and entered into the Football League in 1921, there was little major to cheer for Hartlepool United until the late 1950s, when the long-serving Fred Westgarth took the club to the heady heights of second place in Division Three North in 1957.
Promotion was missed as only champions Derby clambered out, and struggling seasons of re-elections followed until retired former England international Brian Clough, who went on to win two European Cups with Nottingham Forest, arrived as manager in 1965.
Clough and trusted ally Peter Taylor laid foundations for promotion - even taking on handyman jobs around the ground - an achievement that was completed after the pair had departed for Derby County.
Gus McLean continued their work to complete the job but it was a temporary stay and Pools were back in the old Division Four within 12 months.
Much of their time since has been spent in the basement division - barring a few promotion highs in 1991, 2003 and 2007 - and recent struggles have brought back sad memories for older fans.
Cargill, 21, has made 10 first-team starts for the Premier League club, all of which came in cup competitions.
He has been capped seven times by England Under-20s and becomes Gills' 12th signing this summer.
"We always said we wanted to add quality to the squad, and Baily ticks that box," Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh told the club website.

It is believed Brendan Megraw's remains are buried somewhere at a bog in Oristown, County Meath.
He was one of the 16 murder victims that became known as the Disappeared.
Mr Megraw was 23 years old when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA.
The IRA claimed that he had confessed to being a British provocateur and Military Reaction Force undercover agent.
There have been three unsuccessful searches for him, the most recent in 2010.
Last week, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) announced that a new search would get underway.
They said that a "geophysical survey" would be carried out on 2.5 hectares of land.
After the announcement, the brother of the victim, Kieran Megraw, said the family were wary of getting their hopes up.
"You're thankful that information has come in," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster.
"But you have to temper your expectation and hope. You're hoping then the results of the survey will say it's okay to go ahead."
Senior forensic investigator for the ICLVR, Geoff Knupfer, said no one, particularly the Megraw family, were "under any illusion" about the search.
"But, with the right information, we are confident we can find Brendan," he said.
It is thought the search involves a survey of the site by forensic archaeologists using radar to try to identify anomalies beneath the surface.
A decision will then be made on whether to start fresh excavations.
The company said criminals had used the notorious Angler Exploit malware tool to target tens of thousands of users every day.
The attacks were focused on customers of hosting provider Limestone Networks.
Cisco has issued a patch and published guidance on how users' can protect themselves but analysts doubt this will put an end to Angler attacks.
"We shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking Cisco's action will serve a killer blow to the Angler Exploit Kit, but it will have bloodied its nose and disrupted the criminals' activities," security expert Graham Cluley told the BBC.
Cisco's security team discovered the fraud during a wide-reaching investigation into Angler - one of "the most advanced and concerning hacking tools on the market", according to the firm.
The malware takes advantage of vulnerabilities in Flash, Java and other browser plug-ins to break into systems.
It can then take computers hostage, demanding a ransom be paid by their owners in order to regain access to the device.
Cisco estimates that almost half of the Angler attacks it analysed happened on servers connecting to the US-based hosting provider.
It said fraudsters were targeting an estimated 90,000 people a day and generating more than $30m annually from the attacks.
Ken Munro, a security expert at Pen Test Partners, said Cisco's investigation was "another great example of cutting off malware at the knees".
He added: "By analysing the data around Angler and finding critical compromised servers on the internet that the exploit needs to communicate with, it can be rendered powerless."
But he said it would not take long for malware authors to "rewrite their tools to work around this".
He said: "It's a running battle that will continue in a slightly modified format."
Cisco estimates the total revenue generated by Angler attacks worldwide could exceed $60m annually.
The 12-1 favourite is a pound heavier than he was in his 2015 victory as he bids to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum in 1973 and 1974.
Cheltenham Gold Cup contender Don Poli is 11st 9lbs and King George VI Chase winner Silviniaco Conti 11st 8lbs.
Shutthefrontdoor, fifth for Tony McCoy last term, carries 10st 11lbs.
One of three entries for Jonjo O'Neill, Shutthefrontdoor shouldered 11st 2lbs last year.
Five of the first six horses home in 2015 are among the 126 initial entries, with runner-up Saint Are allocated 10st 5lbs, fourth-placed Alvarado 10st 2lbs and sixth Royale Knight on 10st 1lbs.
Dual Irish Gold Cup victor Carlingford Lough has been handed an initial weight of 11st 7lbs while well-backed Willie Mullins-trained Valseur Lido is 11st 6lb,
Saturday's Denman Chase winner Houblon Des Obeaux commands 11st 5lbs and Mouse Morris' First Lieutenant (11st 4lb) also feature at the top of the handicap.
Apart from Many Clouds, there is another horse attempting to win a second Grand National. Pineau De Re is handed 10st 2lbs, compared to 10st 6lbs when victorious in 2014.
Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has more entries than any other trainer with nine engaged, headed by Silviniaco Conti.
There are two past winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup amongst the entries with the 2014 champion Lord Windermere on 11st1lb and the 2011 victor Long Run handed 10st 8lbs.
The 24-year-old will follow friend and club-mate, Scotland centre Huw Jones, in moving to Scotstoun next season after his commitments in South Africa.
It is thought Kebble is considered a project player by Scottish Rugby, who have monitored him for several years.
As he is not tied to South Africa, the prop could become eligible to represent Scotland after three years' residency.
Kebble, the son of ex-Springbok prop Guy Kebble, who won four caps from 1993-94, won the 2012 Junior World Championship with South Africa Under-20s.
Edinburgh and Scotland prop Allan Dell was also a member of the same squad.
The 124kg (19st 7lb) prop is chiefly a loose-head, but can play on either side of the scrum.
He has made 34 appearances for the Stormers in Super Rugby and helped Western Province to the 2014 Currie Cup title.
His provincial coach John Dobson said in September that Kebble "has the ability to be the best loose-head in the world".
If selected, Kebble would be a candidate to follow South Africa-born WP Nel and Josh Strauss, who are both regular Scotland internationals after completing their respective 36 months of residency.
Edinburgh back-row forward Cornell du Preez has also been included in Scotland squads after becoming eligible, but has yet to make his Test debut.
However, World Rugby vice-president Agustin Pichot is lobbying to increase the three-year window to five - a strategy backed by England's Rugby Football Union, and the Welsh Rugby Union.
France's national federation confirmed in December it would stop selecting "foreign players" without French passports.
As things stand, Scotland internationals Alex Allan and Zander Fagerson are the only senior props contracted to Glasgow for next season.
Scotland loose-head Gordon Reid is out of contract at the end of the season, as are D'arcy Rae and Canada international Djustice Sears-Duru.
Scotland's Ryan Grant has joined Worcester Warriors, New Zealander Jarrod Firth has moved to Grenoble, and Tongan tight-head Sila Puafisi will move to Brive at the end of the campaign.
The company said it was consolidating its London offices and moving workers to a new site in Paddington.
"Microsoft reviewed some London-based roles and made the decision to unify some engineering positions," it said.
The move will potentially put at risk a number of "globally-focused" roles at Skype and Yammer, it added.
Skype was founded in London in 2003 and snapped up by Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5bn (£6.5bn).
In July, Microsoft said it would be scrapping 2,850 jobs across its business in the fourth quarter of 2016, although it is yet to say when the London Skype office will close.
"Microsoft will be entering into a consultation process and offer new opportunities, where possible," the company said.
"We are deeply committed to doing everything we can to help those impacted through this process."
On the face of it, the closure of Skype's London office says more about Microsoft's problems in managing the business since the takeover than about the UK's attractiveness as a location.
But it is also further evidence that ownership matters. Skype was an Estonian company but founded and rooted firmly in London, and when Microsoft swooped it was assumed that this would continue to be where its future was shaped.
Now it's facing strong headwinds, failing to establish itself as the prime means of business communications, and Microsoft is cutting costs.
If the firm was still controlled from London, the axe might have fallen elsewhere - but with key decisions being made far away in Seattle, there was no room for sentiment about Skype's history.
Foreign buyers always make positive noises about boosting jobs and investment - but sometimes those promises are hard to keep.

Jonathan Dowdall, 40, and his 60-year-old father, Patrick, of Navan Road in Dublin, admitted falsely imprisoning and threatening to kill a man in January 2015.
Videos played in court show them interrogating, threatening and waterboarding the victim, who came to the house to buy a motorcycle.
The victim said he was tortured to the point of "death's door".
The hearing took place at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on Friday.
The victim is seen tied to a chair in the Dowdalls' garage as Jonathan Dowdall, who was wearing a balaclava, put a tea towel on his face and poured buckets of water over him.
Patrick Dowdall took out pliers and threatened to pull off the victim's fingers, starting with the smallest.
The victim is heard pleading for his life as the Dowdalls threatened to chop him up and feed him to the dogs.
He was tied with cable ties and told "one more twist and you're dead".
The court heard that he was also told he was "stupid" and "dumb" to mess with the IRA" and that Jonathan Dowdall was a good friend of Gerry Adams and Mary Lou McDonald.
The court also heard the victim was a convicted fraudster.
Defence counsel said Jonathan Dowdall had searched the internet and discovered the victim had paid a man for a car with a bounced cheque.
He said he was under huge pressure and as a businessman his whole life was built on his credit rating.
He said he wanted to frighten the victim not to use his bank details but now realised he was totally wrong and is sorry.
In a statement, the victim said the psychological injuries will never completely heal.
Sentencing will take place next month.
Deputy leader of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, said: "I welcome the conviction of Jonathan Dowdall in court today.
"The details of the attack perpetrated by him are deeply shocking. I hope the sentence delivered by the court reflects the seriousness of the offence and the trauma endured by his victim.
"Jonathan Dowdall left Sinn Féin some years ago. He subsequently worked with, and supported, a political opponent of Sinn Féin in the Dublin Central constituency."
Whitehall spending on temporary staff rose to £775m in 2014-15, the Public Accounts Committee said.
Chairman Meg Hillier urged ministers to "get a grip" and develop skills among the existing workforce.
The Cabinet Office said it had "stamped out excessive spending" and had more than halved costs from 2009-10, when it peaked at £2.7bn.
'Poor planning'
But Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson said the Cabinet Office's recruitment policy was wasting taxpayers' money,
"We've got a government that claims to spend taxpayers' money wisely but wastes huge amounts of cash on temporary workers, some of whom are paid a thousand pounds a day," said Mr Watson.
"The amount the government spends on short term staff is rising significantly because it isn't recruiting civil servants with the right skills. Poor planning by the cabinet office is costing UK taxpayers dear."
The Public Accounts Committee report also found that 32 people on temporary contracts were paid more than £1,000 a day, although it said that represented a reduction.
The cost of temporary workers was up to between £679m and £775m in 2014-15 - depending on what data was used. This reached up to £1.3bn when coupled with consultants.
The cross-party committee, which scrutinises public spending, said specialist temporary staff often cost twice as much as permanent staff and suggested the government address "the skills gap across government".
The committee said the use of temporary staff was "justified only when it is not feasible for departments to maintain the necessary skills in-house or to borrow those skills from elsewhere within the civil service".
Although spending controls brought in during 2010 had had an effect, spending had been on the rise again since 2011-12, they said.
Central procurement deals were also not used for around half of consultancy and temporary staff assignments, they said.
The committee's Labour chair, Meg Hillier, said public money was being "wasted because of poor workforce planning".
"There is a place for buying in expert advice and using temporary staff if there is a skills gap but departments first need to be sure they do not have access to these skills in-house. Getting this wrong costs the taxpayer dear.
"Filling permanent roles with temporary staff is short-sighted and does nothing to address underlying skills shortages in the civil service, nor to develop its expertise. When temps leave, valuable experience leaves with them.
"The government needs to get a grip, identify where skills are lacking in-house and put a proper plan in place to deliver those skills through the recruitment and development of high quality, permanent staff."
But a Cabinet Office spokesman said: "This government is scrutinising spend like never before. We've stamped out excessive spending on consultants and put in place stringent spending controls. The total spend on consultants is still less than half of that in 2009-10."
He said the department was "actively building" skills but sometimes needed specialist expertise quickly on complex projects.
"But we only do this when the key skills are not readily available within the Civil Service and where it delivers better value for taxpayers," he added. | A top US senator, Bob Menendez, has been charged with corruption.

The rusty Bedford was discovered in a field in Essex and bought for just £1,200 in 2005 by Emma Giffard and Ollie Hall, from Wookey, Somerset.
The couple spent five years and £35,000 painstakingly restoring it before taking the 22-seat cinema on tour.
Posted on eBay a month ago, the bus has now been sold for "close to £120,000".
It was one of a fleet of custom-built cinemas commissioned by the Ministry of Technology for £1m.
They toured the country's factories, showing promotional films about modernisation.
In 1974, the government sold them off and by 1990 the last bus - with just 11,000 miles on the clock - was left in a field with a seized engine and no gearbox before it was bought by the couple.
"It was hopeless optimism," said Mr Hall.
"I didn't have a clue how to repair it and by the time I'd spent £15,000 on it, it didn't look any different."
By 2010, however, it was back on the road with a new projector housed in its plastic dome.
"It's reasonably easy to drive, although the mileage is still under 18,000," said Mr Hall.
Featured on BBC2's The Reel History of Britain with Melvyn Bragg and on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, the "one-off vehicle" was sold with the original "unrestored" trailer it was built to tow.
"I was tempted to rebuild the trailer but when the day came, I didn't have it in me - it was too big a job," he said.

He was speaking on Tuesday after the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee published its report on the controversial On the Runs scheme.
Mr Kelly escaped from the Maze Prison in 1983 while serving a jail sentence for the 1973 IRA Old Bailey bombing.
He told the BBC's Talkback he received the pardon, but not as an "On the Run".
The Royal Prerogative of Mercy, commonly known as a royal pardon, allows changes in sentences without the backing of or consultation with parliament.
Last year, Secretary of State Theresa Villiers disclosed that 365 royal pardons had been issued between 1979 and 2002.
It is not clear how many of those pardoned were members of paramilitary groups, or what proportion, if any, were members of the security forces.
The Northern Ireland Office has previously said the vast majority of pardons were not terrorism-related.
Asked by TUV leader Jim Allister if he had received a Royal Prerogative of Mercy, Mr Kelly said: "Actually I have - if you remember, and I presume you do, I was arrested in Holland, and the Dutch quashed all my sentences and the British agreed to that to get me back here, by the way, and yes, it was after an escape.
"But it wasn't a letter to do with On The Runs or to do with this scheme at all."
Mr Allister asked him: "From Her Majesty, the one against whom you were leading rebellion, you have a letter of Royal Prerogative of Mercy?"
Mr Kelly said: "The Dutch said they would not extradite me unless the British (government) quashed the sentences.
"Now it was up to the British (government) to quash the sentences whatever way they wanted to quash them - if they chose to produce a prerogative then that's their choice.
"I didn't care what way it was done - the point was that I came back to Ireland as a remand prisoner as opposed to someone who was doing this length of sentence, because the Dutch came to the conclusion that it was unjust."
The On The Runs were republicans suspected of involvement in terrorist crimes but who had never been charged.
Under the scheme, letters were sent to more than 180 Irish republicans, telling them they were not wanted by police.
It came to light when one letter caused the collapse of the trial of a man accused of the 1982 IRA Hyde Park bomb.

Williams, who will return to world number one next week, would be eligible to retain her ranking under the WTA special ranking rule if she is ready to play her first tournament within 12 months of giving birth.
US Open Tennis responded to Williams' message by saying: "Serena Williams will have a new pride and joy to hug and call her own soon! Congratulations on the exciting baby announcement!"
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
We are very unlikely to see Serena compete in another Grand Slam before the French Open of 2018. That event will take place four months before her 37th birthday - but do not write off a woman who will return to world number one on Monday.
Victoria Azarenka is a useful guide. Even though she is eight years younger, Azarenka gave birth to her first child in December, returned to serious training in March and is targeting the WTA event in Stanford at the end of July for her return to the WTA Tour.
Williams, who is engaged to the co-founder of community news and chat site Reddit, Alexis Ohanian, is top of the all-time list of major winners since Grand Slams accepted professional players in 1968.
She is second only to Australian Margaret Court on the list of women's all-time Grand Slam singles titles leaders.
She is also a five-time Tour finals winner, the last of which came in 2014, and was recently picked as the greatest female tennis player of the Open era by BBC Sport users.
Dean, 24, has agreed a new two-year deal which will expire in the summer of 2018, while Yennaris, 22, has extended his stay until the summer of 2019.

Prosecutors accuse Mr Perez of masterminding a scheme where businesses bribed officials to clear their imports through customs at a low tax rate.
The scandal led to months of street protests across the country.
The judge said there was sufficient evidence for Mr Perez Molina to face charges of customs fraud, racketeering and bribery.
A UN commission helped gather criminal evidence for the case which they say is based on around 89,000 wire-tapped phone calls.
The scheme was dubbed "La Linea" (the line), after a telephone hotline businesses allegedly called to get in touch with corrupt officials.
Prosecutors allege the scheme collected $3.8m in bribes between May 2014 and April 2015, including $800,000 each to Mr Perez and former vice-president Roxana Baldetti, who has already been jailed.
The former president has denied any wrongdoing and has promised to co-operate with the investigation.
"Your honour, I am not going to risk my dignity, my work, nor all the effort I have made for Guatemala in return for $800,000," he said in court earlier this week.

Several of Mr Baldizon's allies had been linked to the scandal.
Last month, DUP leader Peter Robinson stepped aside as first minister and took all but one of his party's ministers out of the executive.
Since then, ministers have repeatedly resigned and been reappointed due to a row over the status of the IRA.
The Alliance Party has called a debate on whether that is damaging Stormont.
The party has asked the Northern Ireland Assembly to note that some DUP ministers have "resigned and resumed office more than 20 times since 10 September 2015".
Alliance has asked MLAs to vote on whether the "practice of rolling resignations has had a significant and detrimental effect on the governance of Northern Ireland and on the public's faith in the political institutions".
The motion has been proposed by Alliance MLAs Stewart Dickson, Chris Lyttle and Trevor Lunn.
The DUP introduced its resignations policy five-and-a-half weeks ago as a form of protest after police said some IRA members had been involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr.
Mr McGuigan Sr, a former IRA man, was shot dead near his east Belfast home in August.
Mr Lyttle said the debate was an opportunity to show people that there were MLAs and ministers working to deliver effective government.
"We fail to see how the Ulster Unionist Party resignation and in particular the rolling resignations of the DUP - we think over 20 in the last month - are achieving anything other that to damage public confidence further in the institutions, to imperil our public services and indeed to bring the assembly into disrepute," he said.
"They may also be in breach of the ministerial code which requires you to take office in good faith, to discharge your duties, to fully participate in the executive and to be accountable to the assembly, none of which is happening for those ministers."
The DUP said that because of Sinn Féin's links to the IRA it could not do "business as usual" at Stormont until the issue of paramilitary activity was addressed.
Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland's Sunday Politics programme, DUP MLA Peter Weir conceded that the resignations policy was "clearly seen as being messy".
But he added: "We're more interested in achieving an outcome rather than in the process.
"Let's remember why we are here.
"We're here because there was a man murdered on the streets and the chief constable indicated that the murder was carried out by individuals who are connected up with an organisation [the IRA] which was connected up with a party in government [Sinn Féin]."
Sinn Féin has repeatedly condemned the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr and said the IRA no longer exists.
United Utilities has been adding harder water from boreholes to the traditional supply of soft water from Ennderdale, which is running low.
This led to reports of "popping kettles" and complaints about rashes, mouth ulcers and upset stomachs.
The company said "numerous" safety tests had been carried out but to allay concerns it was altering the balance.
Copeland's Conservative MP, Trudy Harrison, was among those who lobbied United Utilities for a change, and a petition was also set up.
Mike Starkie, Copeland's elected mayor, said: "Our residents have been very concerned over the changes to the water supply, and many have been unhappy about the 'harder' water they are receiving.
"I am pleased that our drinking water will be a softer blend, balancing the wishes of the community with the environmental impact."
Martin Padley, from United Utilities, said: "We made the original changes to the supply to meet a requirement to reduce the amount of water taken from Ennerdale and so improve the ecology of the River Ehen.
"All our tests have consistently shown the water to be of the usual high quality, but we have taken on board the concerns of our customers who said they didn't like the harder water.
"I'm really pleased that we have been able to arrive at a compromise which will allow us to keep the amount of borehole water in the blend to a minimum, while still providing benefits for the local environment."
The company will stop taking water from Ennerdale once a £300m pipeline from Thirlmere Reservoir is complete in 2022.
The three-year-old filly went off the 1-5 favourite and won by a length and a quarter to add to her previous victories this season in the 1,000 Guineas and the Oaks.
Minding's win was a third in the race for trainer Aidan O'Brien and seventh of the meeting for jockey Moore.
Queen's Trust (16-1) finished second, with 14-1 chance Jemayel third.
Minding was last of the five runners turning into the home straight but, after being shaken up by Moore, got to the front with a furlong to go and eased clear.
Moore, the meeting's leading jockey, said: "She's got an awful lot of class and was only doing what she had to do.
"It's a hard campaign she's had. She's a very special filly."
Later on the card, the Stewards' Cup was won by 9-2 favourite Dancing Star, ridden to land a significant gamble by David Probert and trained by Andrew Balding.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
"Minding wasn't at her most impressive here, probably because of the good to firm going, but she was never going to be caught late on by runner-up Queen's Trust, who ran a tremendous race.
"The question now is when will this champion female take on the guys?
"Listening to her trainer afterwards it sounded that a likely aim is October's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe when, as a three-year-old and a filly, she has the advantage of the least weight.
"Dancing Star looked truly a chip off the old block as she emulated her grandmother Lochangel's half-sister Lochsong, one of the race's most celebrated winners. And how nice she did it in the same silks, those of owner/breeder Jeff Smith.
"True, the 3-year-old had the best of the draw, which allowed her easy access to race on the favoured 'far-side', but she demonstrated real authority.
"Lochsong, who was four when she won, went on to be champion sprinter twice, so will Dancing Star copy her in that respect too? She's improving all the time and it's most certainly possible."

He signed an executive order to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulations, which some people on Wall Street say are overly-restrictive.
The law was brought in after the 2008-09 financial crisis with the aim of avoiding another financial meltdown.
"Dodd-Frank is a disaster," Mr Trump said earlier this week.
He added: "We're going to be doing a big number on Dodd-Frank."
Mr Trump made it a campaign pledge to repeal and replace the Dodd-Frank act, which also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
This US government agency seeks to make sure banks, lenders, and other financial companies treat US consumers fairly.
Dodd-Frank, named after the Congressmen who campaigned for the legislation, was introduced to rein in banks' risky practices by banks and other financial companies.
Democrat congressman Jim Himes told the BBC: "Dodd-Frank of course was the legislative response to the economic carnage that came about because of the financial meltdown of late 2008.
"Much of the legislation... is designed to get at those things which went horribly wrong, that is to say, problems in the mortgage market" he said.
But Trump administration officials have said Dodd-Frank did not achieve what it set out to do, and argue that is an example of government being overly-controlling.
News that a review was imminent sent banking shares higher on Wall Street and on the main stock markets in Europe. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase rose 4% and 3% respectively.
"The banks are going to be able to price products more efficiently and more effectively to consumers," Gary Cohn, an adviser to Mr Trump and a former Goldman Sachs executive, told the Wall Street Journal.
Market analyst Jasper Lawler at the London Capital Group said that "unwinding some of Dodd-Frank is a good thing because it will enable smaller community banks to compete, offering competition to consumers."
But he said that scrapping the whole of Dodd-Frank "puts the entire system at risk of a repeat of 2008".
And Sweden's minister for financial stability Per Bolund told the country's TT news agency that a repeal would be "dangerous, harmful and extremely unfortunate".
The executive order directs the Treasury secretary to consult members of different regulatory agencies and the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and report back on potential changes.
Mr Trump also signed a presidential memorandum instructing the Labor Department to delay bringing in an Obama-era rule requiring financial professionals to put their clients' interests first when giving advice on retirement investments.
The rule, which was set to take effect in April, will be delayed for 180 days while it is reviewed.
The so-called "fiduciary rule" was aimed at blocking financial advisers from steering clients toward investments with higher commissions and fees that can eat into retirement savings.
Critics say the rule limits retirees' investment choices by forcing asset managers to steer them to low risk options.
The landmark legislation was introduced to make sure a financial crisis like the one we saw in 2008 could never happen again. It sought to end banks that were 'too big to fail' and promote financial stability.
Its supporters argue it did just that. Some banks may still be big but they are not too big to fail. The law took away the authority to provide another bailout. And there are now more consumer protections in place.
But the legislation is not without its flaws.
The Dodd-Frank act may have been aimed at Wall Street but it hurt Main Street too. Community banks struggled to comply with the laws many new rules.
Trump administration officials say it is an example of too much government intervention.
The law is not perfect. But whether the financial system will be safer depends on what comes in its place.
Mr Trump is also meeting with his business advisory group of senior US executives on Friday.
It will be the first meeting of the Strategic and Policy Forum, a group of executives that includes Jamie Dimon, of banking giant JPMorgan Chase, and Mary Barra chief executive of carmaker General Motors.
Travis Kalanick, the chief executive of ride-sharing service Uber, stepped down from the economic advisory group after strong criticism from staff and the public.
Mr Trump tweeted on Friday: "Meeting with biggest business leaders this morning. Good jobs are coming back to US, health care and tax bills are being crafted NOW!"
Also on Friday, the Senate voted to stop a regulation that would have required oil and gas companies to disclose payments to the US or foreign governments for commercial development.
The House of Representatives approved the measure this week, and Mr Trump is expected to sign it.
Republicans said the regulation gives foreign competitors valuable information about US firms.
Democrats said getting rid of the requirement means big companies will be able to hide questionable dealings with foreign governments like Russia.
Erectile dysfunction drugs worth £500,000 were found in a garden shed after a raid at Atilla Fodor's property in Datchet, Slough.
Fodor, 38, was charged with importation and possession of unlicensed medicines with intent to supply and the supply of unlicensed medicines.
He was sentenced to 10 months in prison at Reading Crown Court.
An investigation carried out last year found Fodor had netted more than £27,000 from the illegally imported drugs.
They are only allowed to be sold on prescription in the UK.
Alastair Jeffrey, head of enforcement at Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "Selling unlicensed medicines is illegal and can pose a serious risk to health.
"Criminals involved in the illegal supply of medical products aren't interested in your health - they are only interested in your money.
"MHRA will continue to track down and prosecute those who put the public's health at risk."
Brazil has reported around 4,000 cases of microcephaly since October - an unprecedented number.
The World Health Organization has declared a global public health emergency in response.
But experts are unsure what exactly is behind the rise.
Dr Anthony Costello, the WHO's expert on microcephaly, says finding an answer quickly is imperative.
"We must assume, given global travel and the like, that this could spread into many other populations as well.
"What we have picked up is a surge in cases of microcephaly in two areas where Zika virus has broken out. First in French Polynesia last year and now, to a much greater extent, in Brazil.
"We do not know about cases yet in other areas."
Zika virus has now hit more than 20 countries and the WHO believes it is likely to spread "explosively" across nearly all of the Americas, making the need for fast answers clear.
Dr Costello says there will be a lag time of several months to know if pregnant women in these newly affected countries are safe.
The race is on to find a better diagnostic test and a vaccine and treatment for Zika as well as establishing what is making these babies ill.
Microcephaly is not a new condition. In the US, official reports suggests two to 12 babies per 10,000 born each year have microcephaly - that's around 25,000 babies a year.
It can be caused by other infections caught in pregnancy, such as rubella.
Drug and alcohol abuse by expectant mothers are also factors.
And it can also be caused by rare genetic conditions.
The difficulty facing scientists is establishing what is behind each new case.
Research using animal models is needed to determine if Zika causes damage to an unborn infant when infection occurs in pregnancy and at what stage, as well as studies of pregnant women who have unfortunately been infected with Zika virus to determine the outcomes of their pregnancies.
Dr Costello said: "We desperately need to have better diagnostics for Zika virus so that we can look very carefully, if you get pregnant and you get infected, at what is the risk of getting microcephaly.
"At the moment we don't exactly know what the risk is."
He said although many pregnant women would, understandably, be very scared at the moment, they should remember that the risk of their baby having microcephaly was still very low.
"This is still a relatively rare occurrence and even if the rates increase, most women are going to get through pregnancy absolutely fine."
Babies born with microcephaly can grow up to have few or no complications. The impact it will have on their life depends on its severity.
An underdeveloped brain can lead to seizures, developmental delays, intellectual disability, problems with movement and balance, hearing loss and visual problems.
Because it is difficult to predict at birth what problems may lie ahead for a baby with microcephaly, they need close medical follow-up.
There are things pregnant women, or those who are likely to be pregnant, can do to protect themselves against the potential risk:
Chris Jones, 61, died of multiple injuries after hitting the ground on a jump from 6,000ft (1,800m).
He packed the parachute himself and died at Dunkeswell Aerodrome near Honiton, Devon, in July.
The Coroner Dr Elizabeth Erland passed a narrative verdict.
Updates on this story and more from Devon
She said "the fast hard opening of the parachute was due to the manner of its packing" and concluded Mr Jones's "death was instantaneous".
She also said she hoped this case would highlight the dangers of the sport and encourage those taking part to be aware of the proper packing of parachutes.
Mr Jones had made 1,021 parachute jumps since 1987, the inquest in Exeter heard.
A report by the British Parachute Association (BPA) found no fault with the equipment.
Jeffrey Montgomery, BPA safety and technical officer, said: "If he had been conscious he could have released the right toggle which was causing the problem".
He said Mr Jones experienced "an almost instantaneous opening of his parachute", which could have caused him to fall unconscious. He said parachutes should normally take between four and five seconds to fully open.
Joseph Graves, who was the drop zone controller at the airfield, told the hearing he saw Mr Jones freefall for 19 seconds before his parachute opened.
He said it soon began to spiral and "it continued to spiral but Chris did not seem to make any move".
Mr Montgomery said such "hard" openings could be caused by untidy packing of a parachute and could "take your breath away".
Another witness Andrew Shaw told the court that Mr Jones' parachute had been repaired after a previous hard opening in April last year.
He had also been advised to look at the way he packed his parachute but it had been marked as serviceable less than a week before his death, the inquest heard.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Jones suffered with moderately severe coronary problems but the pathologist could not be sure they had caused him to lose consciousness during the descent.
Mr Jones, from Pontyclun, Rhondda Cynon Taff in South Wales, was head of Chemistry at Wellington School, in Somerset.
The Orkney infant needed treatment in Aberdeen last Friday, however the fixed-wing air ambulance was sent to Shetland.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said the patient was later safely transferred to Aberdeen.
NHS Grampian said a member of staff had made an error.
An NHS Grampian spokeswoman said: "Following an initial analysis of the timeline of last Friday's events, it is clear that a member of NHS Grampian staff made an error during the process of arranging transport.
"This led to the Scottish Ambulance Service aircraft wrongly travelling to Shetland.
"We must stress that this is an extremely unusual incident. We have seen nothing to suggest this was anything other than an isolated mistake.
"NHS Grampian would like to apologise unreservedly to the family involved in this incident.
"We would also wish to apologise to our colleagues in the Scottish Ambulance Service."
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We received a request from a member of NHS Grampian staff in Aberdeen to retrieve a patient from hospital in Shetland.
"We dispatched our fixed-wing air ambulance from Aberdeen and it dropped off our team and equipment in Shetland.
"Shortly after arriving in Shetland, our team was advised that the patient they had been sent to retrieve was actually in Orkney.
"Once we were made aware of the error, our fixed-wing air ambulance returned to Shetland to transfer the team and equipment to Orkney.
"Our aircraft arrived in Kirkwall to retrieve the patient from Balfour Hospital. The patient arrived safely at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital."
The spokesperson added: "This is an extremely unusual occurrence and we have been reviewing the circumstances around the initial request with NHS Grampian.
"We have written to the family inviting them to meet with us to discuss the circumstances around the transfer."
Orkney MSP Liam McArthur said: "This incident understandably raised serious concerns with people in Orkney, and the agencies involved were right to initiate urgent investigations.
"NHS Grampian's confirmation that this situation arose as a result of a mistake by one of its staff is helpful and I welcome the board's offer to meet with the family involved to discuss any concerns in more detail.
"The apology to the SAS crew is also entirely appropriate, given that they were clearly blameless in what happened.
"Obviously, the risk of human error is difficult to remove entirely, but if lessons can be learned from this event, it is important that this happens".
The Competition and Markets Authority will determine whether the merger could result in "a substantial lessening of competition" for consumers.
The CMA decision has surprised some analysts.
Richard Perks, retail director at Mintel, said the watchdog had every right to examine the deal, but he described the move as "rather odd".
Although the supermarket planned to close dozens of Argos stores and relocate them in Sainsbury's outlets, he said that almost half of Argos sales were now online. That made it difficult to see how the deal would reduce competition for consumers, Mr Perks said.
A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: "The combination of both businesses will create a multi-product, multi-channel proposition with fast delivery networks, benefiting customers by accelerating our strategy to give them what they want, where and when they want it. We look forward to the successful completion of the deal."
The CMA will accept responses until 13 June and should make a decision by 25 July.
The watchdog is also investigating German drugs distributor Celesio's £125m acquisition of Sainsbury's pharmacy business, with a decision expected on 8 August.
The supermarket made a £1.4bn bid for Home Retail Group in March that aimed to "future-proof" its business.
Shares in Sainsbury's closed up 0.6% at 269.3p on Friday.
On Monday, 22 people were killed and 64 injured when a bomber detonated a device as people left Grande's show at the 21,000-seater Manchester Arena.
A statement said the US singer's Dangerous Woman tour would be suspended until 7 June.
It added that Grande, 23, wanted to pay "proper respects to those lost".
As well as two dates in London, concerts in Belgium, Poland and Germany have been cancelled.
Grande's management said: "We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence.
"Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together."
After the attack, the singer posted her condolences on Twitter, saying: "Broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words."
The singer returned to her hometown of Boca Raton, Florida, on Tuesday in a private plane. It is hoped that the tour will continue on 7 June in Paris.
Children were among the dead in the Manchester attack, which targeted the foyer of the arena.
Greater Manchester Police said it believed 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a former city student, had blown himself up.
The attack has led to the UK terror threat being raised to critical - its highest level, which means an attack may be imminent.
Police say they are hunting a network of people over the attack, and have made five arrests in the UK.
Refunds will be granted to all ticketholders at the point of purchase for the cancelled shows, tour promoter Live Nation said.
The first victim of Monday's bombing to be named was 18-year-old Georgina Callander, a devoted fan of Grande.
The health and social care student had posted a message to Grande on Twitter before the event, which read: "SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU TOMORROW."
On her Instagram page the Lancashire resident also had a picture with the actor-turned-singer, which had been taken in 2015.
Other public events have been cancelled in London in the wake of the bombing.
Chelsea Football Club cancelled their open-top bus, Premier League victory parade, which was due to take place on Sunday.
The London premiere of the new Wonder Woman film, due for 31 May, has also been cancelled.
Warner Bros said it would not be proceeding with press junkets or a red carpet event "in light of the current situation".
North scored as Wales laboured to a 17-13 win over Fiji at the Millennium Stadium at the weekend.
A second-string All Blacks side meanwhile were made to graft for a 24-16 victory over Scotland.
"I think there's no bigger challenge than the All Blacks," said the Northampton back.
Wales lost their opening Test of the autumn series to Australia, while New Zealand's victory at Murrayfield followed wins over England and the United States.
"They've shown in the past few weeks, even under heat, that they can still win Test matches, which is why they are number one in the world," said North.
"I think we've got to step up our game massively."
The All Blacks have not lost to Wales since 1953, but North says the visit of Steve Hansen's side is all the motivation the Welsh squad need to put the Fiji performance behind them.
"When the bigger teams come in, obviously you're a bit more focused and a bit more aware of what's coming," said North. "You work a little bit harder."
Wales name their team to face New Zealand at 12:00 GMT on Tuesday.
North, 22, is in line to face powerful New Zealand wing Julian Savea, 24 and is full of respect for his opposite number.
"He's an exceptional player," said North.
"I look at the way other wingers play and I think he's a brilliant example in how to best impose yourself on a team or even on the game.
"People like to see you pop up right, left and centre and all the time he's always there."
Another potential threat from the All Black back line identified by North is centre Sonny Bill Williams.
"He's a difficult player to play against," said North.
"He's exceptionally strong in contact and getting over the gain line, but he's got amazing hands as well.
"Something you also have to be very aware of is his running lines because he's very strong at carrying the ball from his rugby league days and it provides a lot of difficult situations in defence."
The tremor originated near Sandwich at a depth of 15km (9.5 miles) underground at 02:52 BST, it reported.
Residents in areas including Margate, Canterbury and Southend-on-Sea in Essex felt the tremor, with some saying they thought it was a plane crash or a bomb.
Kent Police said a number of calls had been received but no injuries or structural damage had been reported.
But Herbert Smith tweeted that he and his wife Doreen were taking refuge in their caravan after being evacuated from their damaged home in Flete.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which monitors seismic activity across the continent, also recorded the earthquake.
Theresa Foord, from Eastry near Sandwich, said: "I heard this massive crash and then the whole house started to shake.
"Plates came off the wall, doors came open - it was all very frightening.
"It seemed to go on for ages but it was about three to five seconds."
About 200 earthquakes take place in the UK every year but not all are as large as this tremor, according to BGS seismologist David Galloway.
"We probably get one of this size once every three or four years so it is quite significant for people if their houses are shaking or they are woken from sleep," he said.
"But in world terms, it was about 260,000 times smaller than the earthquake in Nepal.
"In the UK the biggest earthquake happened in 1931 off East Anglia at Dogger Bank. That had the magnitude 6.1."
BBC South East reporter Simon Jones, who lives in Canterbury, said he was woken up when his house started shaking.
"The initial thought was perhaps something had gone into the house, like a lorry but then I turned to social media and people right across east Kent were reporting an earthquake," he said.
Vikki Petts tweeted: "So we just had a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in Kent and my housemates slept through the entire thing. certainly woke me up!"
Caroline Knott, from Ramsgate, said the earthquake woke her up, adding "I thought maybe a bomb's gone off".
Jonathan Tapp said: "Earthquake in East Kent and now can't get back to sleep. Despite months spent in [New Zealand] this is my first one that I've felt."
Iain Buchanan, from Ramsgate, said: "So I'm not going mental, my house shook due to an earthquake in Kent of all places."
Police said they began receiving reports of the tremor in east Kent at about 02:57 BST.
Neither the force nor Kent Fire and Rescue Services had received any reports of structural damage or injuries, they said.
Hundreds of homes in Folkestone were damaged by a 4.3 magnitude tremor which struck parts of Kent in 2007.
More than 70 buildings were so dangerous residents could not return to them because of loose chimney stacks, tiles and masonry.

Team Sky's Froome, 31, became Britain's first three-time Tour de France winner on Sunday when he added the 2016 race to his successes in 2013 and 2015.
"He's as hungry as ever," Brailsford told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Much of how far he can go will be about how much he can retain his desire," Brailsford added.
Before heading out to Rio to prepare for the Olympic Games, Froome will take part in Sunday's RideLondon-Surrey Classic.
He will lead a Team Sky squad which includes Geraint Thomas, Ian Stannard, Ben Swift, Christian Knees and Dutch sprinter Danny van Poppel.
Froome's three victories in four years follows Sir Bradley Wiggins becoming the first Briton to win the race in 2012.
Brailsford said Froome manages to both focus on his own individual performance as well as be a "brilliant leader" for the team.
"He's very meticulous, he sends them a little text every night, he communicates well with them," said Brailsford.
"Equally they can see that he is on it and so they believe in him. And when they believe in someone the commitment levels and the enjoyment levels go up a notch."
In the past Froome has received a tough reception from the French crowds, but the three-time champion believes the 2016 Tour has seen a "huge shift" in attitudes.
He added: "You see people on the roads with supporter jerseys from other teams, from the French teams, and they really give it some: 'Come on, allez Sky, allez Froome!'
"It's heart-warming to feel that and feel there's this respect now from the French public."
Often criticised for an understated personality, the rider hopes that this race allowed spectators and viewers to see more of his character.
"I think people have found it hard to relate to me in the past," Froome said.
"That's just the way I am, I'm not necessarily a hugely outgoing kind of guy.
"I think as this race has gone on people have got to me know me a little bit better, know my character a little bit better."
The 31-year-old beat Romain Bardet of France by four minutes and five seconds, with Colombia's Nairo Quintana in third and Britain's Adam Yates - who also took the white jersey for best young rider - in fourth.
"It would be my dream to keep coming back for the next five or six years and give myself the best opportunity of winning again," said Froome, who became the first person to successfully defend the title for 20 years.
Froome's victory was not without incident, with accidents occurring on both stage 12, when he ran up Mont Ventoux after his bike was broken, and stage 19.
Speaking about the second crash, which occurred two days before the end of the race, he told Radio 4's Today programme: "It was pretty scary - the initial feeling is just to get straight back up again and in the next two or three minutes you go through the checks thinking, right, is everything still working?
"Everything was fine, you lost a bit of skin, but you've just got to keep going."
Froome, who was competing in his first Tour de France since becoming a father, dedicated the victory to his son, Kellan.
He said: "I'd love my son to look back in 10 years' time and for him to be proud of his old man."
In Swindon South, Robert Buckland beat competition from Labour's Sarah Church to keep the seat with a 2,464 majority.
In Swindon North, Conservative Justin Tomlinson's majority decreased to 8,335.
In Salisbury, Devizes, Chippenham and Wiltshire North and Wiltshire South West, the Tories retained their seats.
Mr Tomlinson added: "I secured the highest ever vote for any candidate in the history of the Swindon seat.
"I am delighted to have secured support in every single ward right across the political spectrum."
Mr Buckland described his victory as "hard fought and hard won".
He also thanked the police "for keeping us safe, at a time when we have seen some of the most turbulent, extraordinary and frankly frightening events in our living memory, not just here, but in the rest of the world".
Although Labour came second in both Swindon seats, the party gained more votes, with UKIP losing most of its support.
In Salisbury, Devizes, Chippenham and Wiltshire North and Wiltshire South West, the Conservatives retained their seats.
Resuming at 1-1, Maria Sharapova put Russia 2-1 up with a 3-6 6-4 6-2 win over Petra Kvitova.
Karolina Pliskova beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3 6-4 to level things.
In the decider, Pliskova and Barbora Strycova beat Elena Vesnina and Pavlyuchenkova 4-6 6-3 6-2 to secure a 3-2 win for the Czechs.
The match lasted more than two hours, with Russia gaining an early advantage before the Czech pair fought back to secure victory.
"It's the first experience for me in the Fed Cup so I'm really happy how we made it and we both played really good," said world number 11 Pliskova.
"It's definitely one of the biggest wins in my career. I was trying to focus on my serve and it was working so I'm really happy for that."
The Czechs have won the Fed Cup nine times overall, including Czechoslovakia's five before its split in 1993.
Strycova added: "I'm speechless, it was unbelievable."
It was also the warmest since records began in 1910, with temperatures around 7.9C (46F), making it feel more like a day in April or May.
Overall, 2015 was the sixth wettest year, data showed.
Record amounts of rain fell in storm-hit Scotland, Wales and the north west of England.
The UK mean temperature for the year of 9.2C (49F) was warm but not exceptional, said the Met Office, and not quite hot enough to beat the 2014 record of 9.9C (50F).
Usually, December temperatures hover around 4C (39F).
By Roger Harrabin, BBC environment analyst
The Met Office says there is a direct link between the warmth and the record rains that brought widespread floods across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
Storms propelled by the jet stream were mainly to blame, it says, with contributions from the El Nino weather phenomenon and man-made climate change.
December was something of a freak month, it acknowledges. Climate change has raised UK temperatures by around 1C (1.8F) so far, so it will be many decades before this level of extreme weather becomes the new winter norm, it says.
Other scientists say that with climate change, there will be no "normal" weather.

England saw virtually no frost and, in the UK overall, there were fewer than three days of frost - normally, December would see about 11 frosty days.
The Met Office has said storms Desmond, Eva and Frank were behind the record rainfall, while a humid south-westerly airflow kept it warm.
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and northern England bore the brunt of the storms, as central and southern England escaped the worst of it.
December's warm weather had a considerable knock-on effect, with retailer Next blaming it for a "disappointing" trading performance in the run-up to Christmas.
The B9005 was closed between Gight and Fyvie as a result.
Police Scotland said the incident happened at about 13:50.
The road was expected to remain closed for some time and local diversions have been put in place.
Edwards, who made her England debut in 1996, retired from international cricket after being replaced as captain by Heather Knight this summer.
The 36-year-old has since led the Southern Vipers to the inaugural English Women's Super League title.
Edwards' new deal with the Strikers follows previous stints in Perth with Western Fury and the Scorchers.
The Women's Big Bash League is due to run in Australia from 10 December 2016 to 28 January 2017.
The incident on Tuesday night injured five crew members onboard.
It stoked immediate anger among locals, some of whom have previously complained about the US military bases and the Osprey aircraft's safety record.
It combines helicopter and aeroplane capabilities and has been involved in accidents worldwide.
The most recent crash was in Hawaii in May last year, in which two US Marines died.

Tuesday's incident took place near the controversial US Marine base Camp Shwab around 22:00 local time (13:00 GMT).
Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis described it as a "mishap" as the aircraft landed in shallow water, and said they would conduct an investigation.
The US maintains two Osprey squadrons in Japan, according to Reuters. A squadron typically has between 12 and 24 aircraft.
Locals have long opposed the use of Ospreys, which are based in Futenma air station near densely populated neighbourhoods.
Okinawan governor Takeshi Onaga, known for critical view of US presence on the island, called the incident "really outrageous".
"Although it occurred at sea, it's really scary thinking it could have fallen on where we are living," local resident Yuri Soma told Kyodo news agency.
Local anger against the US military has intensified in recent months after a civilian worker on a US base was arrested in May for the rape and murder of a local woman.
Okinawans have also opposed the government-approved relocation of Futenma air station in the middle of the island to Camp Schwab, as they want the bases to be removed entirely.
The PM committed to a pre-election pledge to increase budgets by at least £8bn a year by 2020, during his speech at a GP surgery in the West Midlands.
The government is also promising to recruit 5,000 new GPs.
But doctors' representatives said without detail the announcement was "empty headline-grabbing".
The British Medical Association said the government was yet to explain how it would deliver additional care at a time of "chronic" doctor shortages.
Before the election, the Conservatives gave their backing to a plan by NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens to fill a funding gap estimated at £30bn a year by 2020.
This aims to make £22bn in efficiency savings, with the rest coming from taxpayers.
£100bn

£30bn
Shortfall predicted by 2020
That could fund 100 hospitals
New ways of working could save £22bn
But NHS still needs an extra £8bn
Labour said before the election that Tory plans for "extreme" spending cuts threatened the NHS.
BBC health editor Hugh Pym said Mr Cameron had chosen the issue for his first major speech since the election to show "there is a real commitment to deliver" a seven-day NHS.
Mr Cameron said his plans involved "different shift patterns" rather than NHS staff working seven days a week.
Hospitals on a Saturday and a Sunday can feel as though they are "more about getting through to Monday" with senior doctors and hi-tech equipment unavailable, he said.
Asked about funding the pledge, Mr Cameron said people should "not automatically assume" seven-day services would cost more.
Patients should be able to get a doctor's advice via Skype, Facetime or email, he said.
In his speech, Mr Cameron described the health service as the embodiment of "one nation" politics, promising the proposals would transform services across the country, with more GPs, faster access to new drugs and treatments.
The PM said it was "shocking" how death rates for patients admitted to hospital on a Sunday are up to 16% higher than those admitted on a Wednesday and that a seven-day service would help save lives.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt outlined the government's pledge to hire 5,000 more GPs to cover the extra hours and said many existing doctors felt they were in a "hamster wheel" of 10-minute appointments.
Asked how he would achieve this, he said the government would "look at the terms and conditions of general practice" ask "why it is that GPs have so much burnout" and question what was putting off potential recruits.
In order to hit the target, about half of medical school graduates would have to become GPs, he said.
"They need to feel they are valued... that they are part of the future," he added.
Some services, like blood tests, could be offered by nurses instead of doctors, Mr Hunt said.
Analysis: By BBC health editor Hugh Pym
Health rather than the economy is the prime minister's chosen topic for his first major speech since the election. Mr Cameron wants voters to know that pledges on the NHS made in the heat of the election battle are now firm commitments for his government.
But the question of where the extra £8bn will come from has not been made clear. That figure originally quoted by NHS England chief Simon Stevens was said to be money needed just to keep the NHS running rather than funds to expand its reach. The costs of making the NHS a full 7 day a week service have not been spelled out.
Then there is the question of where the new GPs will come from at a time when recruiting is very difficult. Setting out the aims is one thing. Delivering them by 2020 is another.
The Royal College of Nursing warned any cuts in pay associated with delivering a "seven-day" health service could lead to industrial action.
Its general secretary Peter Carter told the Independent there was a "very modest higher level of remuneration" for working unsocial hours, including over weekends and holiday periods.
Any changes to that would be "strongly resisted", he said, adding: "Any attack on that and I do fear it would result in industrial action."
Mr Hunt said the body was "really jumping the gun".
"We haven't made any proposals whatsoever about changing nurses terms and conditions," he said.
Dr Mark Porter, British Medical Association council chairman, said the government needed to clarify how it intended to "translate this announcement into reality".
"The real question for the government is how they plan to deliver additional care when the NHS is facing a funding gap of £30bn and there is a chronic shortage of GPs and hospital doctors, especially in acute and emergency medicine, where access to 24-hour care is vital," he said.
"Without the answer to these questions this announcement is empty headline-grabbing and shows that even after polling day, politicians are still avoiding the difficult questions and continuing to play games with the NHS."
Prof Chris Ham, chief executive of the King's Fund charity, said a seven-day NHS was "absolutely the right thing to do" but that money was "the key question".
He told Radio 4's Today programme the £8bn pledge is "to be welcomed, but that will really help to keep existing services running, it won't fund all the new commitments we've heard of during the election campaign including seven-day working".
He also said there was "real workforce shortage" in some fields, with hospitals "already struggling to recruit enough senior medical staff".
Downing Street said the GP Access Fund, set up under the previous Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government, was already extending opening hours.
Andy Burnham, Labour's shadow health secretary, said pre-election that Tory plans were not credible without investment in extra NHS staff.
"With the NHS in increasing financial distress, David Cameron must set out clearly how it will be paid for," he said.
The average Norwegian has 33 apps, the Norwegian Consumer Council says, whose terms and conditions together run longer than the New Testament.
To prove the "absurd" length, the council got Norwegians to read each of them out in real time on their website.
The reading finished on Wednesday, clocking in at 31:49:11.
Some of the world's most popular apps were chosen, including Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Instagram and Angry Birds.
"The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd," said Finn Myrstad from the Norwegian Consumer Council.
"Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions."
The council is calling on the industry to write shorter, clearer terms and conditions and to adopt a common standard.
The firms have agreed to sell a range of assets to ease the path of the deal.
The move comes after the Competition and Markets Authority found the merger could curb competition in the supply of services to the UK oil industry.
It told the firms to offer a remedy or face an in-depth investigation.
On Tuesday, the CMA said it was considering new undertakings put forward by the companies.
The proposals would see Amec Foster Wheeler sell off "almost all" assets which contribute to engineering, construction and maintenance services in its upstream offshore oil and gas business in the UK.
The watchdog added that there were "reasonable grounds" for believing these undertakings, or a modified version of them, might be acceptable.
It will now open a public consultation on the proposals.
The CMA's decision-maker in the case, Kate Collyer, said: "It is crucial that competition is maintained in this major UK industry.
"We will consider the undertakings offered by Wood Group and Amec Foster Wheeler further, and carefully consult interested parties, in order to make sure that they fully address our concerns."
The CMA's final decision on the takeover is due by 12 October.
Wood Group chairman Robin Watson described the CMA's announcement as an "important milestone", adding that it gave the firm "further confidence in our ability to complete the transaction in quarter four this year".
Amec Foster Wheeler also welcomed the latest development.
Chief executive Jon Lewis said: "Our offer of a proposed remedy in May and the early commencement of the sale process to potential buyers of the upstream oil and gas business has ensured we have navigated this process ahead of schedule, increasing the likelihood that the transaction with Wood Group will close in quarter four this year."
If it goes ahead, the deal would create a company with a combined value of about £5bn.
Countries on both sides of the conflict are seeking to narrow considerable gaps which stand in the way of progress.
These include the fate of Syria's president, which groups could join talks with the regime, and which should be classed as terrorists.
The UN Security Council is expected to later vote on a text backing the broad plan for a truce and negotiations.
It follows a meeting of the so-called International Syrian Support Group (ISSG) which met in Vienna in November and agreed on the parameters of a political plan for the war-torn country.
There, 19 countries, including Syria's allies Russia and Iran, set a target of 1 January for the start of peace talks between the regime and the opposition.
The delegates signed a UN statement calling for a ceasefire to be agreed by 14 May 2016 and for free elections to be held a year later.
There are some smiles, but no answers. In two previous meetings diplomats agreed a broad timetable for a ceasefire and political negotiations. But that was the easy part.
Now they're trying to forge a unified opposition delegation for the talks and decide which armed groups are terrorists. Russia and Iran, which back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, have made clear they're unhappy with the results so far.
And opposition groups are unhappy that there's no mention of Mr Assad's departure. The Western and Arab states that support them have accepted he'll stay for part of the transition, but want guarantees he'll eventually leave office.
Building on the diplomatic momentum, Saudi Arabia, a staunch foe of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, held a meeting earlier this month of dozens of disparate rebel and Syria opposition groups to try to forge a common approach to possible peace talks.
They agreed to a programme of six months of negotiations followed by the formation of a transitional body from which President Assad and his aides would be excluded.
However, Russia, Iran and Syria dismissed the meeting, saying the groups were unrepresentative and unacceptable.
There are still significant areas of disagreement between the two sides in the war and their backers.
One of the major sticking points is which rebel groups should be considered terrorist outfits and consequently excluded from any talks or ceasefire. Jordan has been tasked with drawing up a list.
The Syrian war, which is heading towards its fifth year, has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced nearly 12 million, the UN says.
The United States, which supports the Syrian opposition, wants a negotiated settlement based on the 2012 Geneva Communique, which calls for the formation of a transitional governing body. It says President Bashar al-Assad must go.
Russia, which launched an air campaign against Mr Assad's opponents in September, also calls for the implementation of the Geneva Communique. But it says Mr Assad's future is for the Syrian people, and not external powers, to decide.
Most of Syria's political and armed opposition factions now agree on the need for a managed transition, but they demand that the president leave at the start of it.
Bashar al-Assad says peace talks cannot begin until "terrorism" is eliminated, and that his departure is out of the question before elections are held.
The bugs construct this defensive barrier in a complex process that depends on a key dual-protein molecule.
Its structure has been mapped using the intense X-rays of the Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire.
Researchers tell the journal Nature that drugs can now be developed to interfere with this LptDE protein.
"We identified how LptDE builds up the outer membrane," explained Prof Changjiang Dong, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School.
"It does this through a 'path' and a 'gate', and we have shown that if we block the path or the gate, the bacteria will die. To do this, you would design and use another, much smaller molecule," he told BBC News.
The experiments targeted gram-negative bacteria, which cause a large number of infections, ranging from salmonella to meningitis.
This class of bugs is getting increasingly smart at warding off attack from antibiotic treatments thanks in part to the impermeability of its lipid-based outer coating.
The protein complex LptDE is the "bricklayer" that pulls up the lipopolysaccharide "bricks" from inside the bacterium to insert them in the cell wall.
Crystalline forms of the complex were sent to the Diamond synchrotron, which uses especially brilliant X-rays to illuminate structures at the atomic scale.
The team used this information to then model LptDE's behaviour and determine its weaknesses.
What makes LptDE such a fascinating target for new drugs is that it is highly "conserved" - its role is common across gram-negative bacteria.
Is rise of drug-resistant bacteria the biggest threat we face?
What is more, by attacking the functioning of the outer membrane new drugs would not need to get inside the bugs before starting their work.
And, in any case, resistant bugs seem to have evolved a mechanism to simply pump antibiotics back out when they do get through.
"If the bacteria do not have the outer membrane, they cannot withstand environmental changes. It also makes it easier for the human immune system to kill them," said Prof Dong.
Prof Mark Fielder, from the Society for Applied Microbiology, commented: "The work reported is at a very early stage but does offer some potentially useful information in the fight against bacterial resistance.
"What is needed now is the development of a usable inhibitor that can be tested against gram-negative clinical strains of bacteria to see if there is a longer term value to the research," he told the Science Media Centre.
And Prof Brendan Wren, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, added: "New antibiotics against gram-negative bacteria, including many hospital superbugs, are notoriously difficult to develop and the problem is exacerbated as many of these bacteria are increasingly resistant to currently used antibiotics.
"The authors have unravelled the structure, architecture and mechanism of transport of a critical surface structure in gram-negative bacteria named the lipopolysaccharide. The studies open new avenues to design a novel class of antibiotics to disarm and kill pathogenic bacteria."

Ms Daoud, a former BBC journalist, was detained by plainclothes policemen at her home in Cairo on Monday and put on a plane to Beirut.
The move came hours after her contract was terminated by privately-owned OnTV.
Her show, Al-Soura Al-Kamila (The Full Picture), controversially aired views critical of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and his government.
Mr Sisi has cracked down on dissent since leading the military's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Ms Daoud's 10-year-old daughter, an Egyptian national, was at their home when her mother was led away by police. Officers reportedly confiscated Ms Daoud's mobile phone and British passport.
There was no formal explanation for Ms Daoud's deportation, but a security official told the Associated Press (AP) that her residency permit had expired.
Shortly before her arrest, Ms Daoud had written on Twitter: "I am announcing the official termination of my contract with OnTV after five years that began in 2011."
Ms Daoud's lawyer, Zyad el-Elaimy, said her first comment after landing in Beirut was that she would challenge the decision.
"It's the first time someone is deported in this fashion in Egypt," Mr Elaimy told AP by telephone from Cairo.
The Egyptian authorities, he added, were "not prepared to hear any diverse voices or to hear anyone who is supportive" of the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
"This is a campaign against respectable media and free journalism," said Al-Soura Al-Kamila's editor-in-chief, Amer Tamam.
"All we were doing was presenting a respectable show... so we don't know what we are being punished for."
OnTV was sold last month by the billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris to Ahmed Abou Hashima, a steel magnate and Sisi supporter.
Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served briefly as interim vice-president after Morsi was ousted, praised Ms Daoud for her "professionalism, credibility and courage".
"One day we may have enough self-confidence to understand the value of having different opinions," he wrote on Twitter.
Satirist Bassem Youssef, whose TV show was taken off air for its criticism of the government, said her arrest was "just the beginning".
"Egypt... can't tolerate the rest of the world,'' he wrote on Facebook.
In May, the head of the Egyptian journalists' union and two other top members were recently charged with harbouring fugitives following a police raid of the union's headquarters that saw two journalists for an opposition website arrested.
Also on Monday, the prominent feminist activist Mozn Hassan was banned from travelling to Beirut for a meeting of women human rights defenders.
Nazra for Feminist Studies, which Ms Hassan founded, said she was barred due to her alleged involvement in a case in which non-governmental organisations have been accused of receiving foreign funds with the aim of sowing chaos.

But the majority of Myanmar's population still lives in rural areas, which have recently been affected by devastating floods.
The BBC's Karishma Vaswani has been to rural Yangon to talk to the man who runs Unilever in the area.
The claim: The government is spending record amounts on education in England.
Reality Check verdict: The absolute amount of money in the pot for schools in England is at record levels but once you factor in rising pupil numbers, inflation and running costs, schools will have to cut approximately 8% from budgets by 2020.
She was talking about England, because education is a devolved matter and is funded separately in the other UK nations.
But head teachers in England have been raising the alarm about growing holes in their budgets.
When the prime minister talks about record amounts of funding going into education, she is referring to the Dedicated Schools Grant, which is the whole block of money going to schools in England. This stands at £40bn this year.
It is true that this is the biggest pot in cash terms, but, of course, how generous the pot is depends on how many pupils there are in the system.
There was a baby boom in the early 2000s, which has been hitting primary schools for several years and is now moving up through the secondary system.
Between 2009 and 2016, the school system expanded to take in an extra 470,000 pupils.
The Department for Education says that between 2016 and 2025 there will be a further increase in the state school system, up from about 7.4 million pupils to about 8.1 million.
So looking at how much is being spent per pupil is a more meaningful figure.
David Cameron in 2015 committed to freezing school spending per pupil in cash terms. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned that this would result in an 8% real-terms cut in school spending per pupil due to inflation and the rising cost of wages, pensions and National Insurance contributions.
This amounts to the biggest fall in spending on each pupil in 30 years.
The National Audit Office estimates that schools will have to make £3bn worth of cuts as a result of these factors.
The government is consulting on a new funding formula, which it says will be a fairer way of allocating the cash to schools around the country. Under current plans, almost 11,000 schools stand to gain and around 9,000 will lose funding.
How the funding formula could work
The following types of schools would get extra funding:
This model is what the Department for Education wants every school to move towards eventually but, for the first two years, transitional protections are in place meaning no school can lose more than 3% of their funding.
This means that the best-funded schools under the current system will still get more than £4,312 basic funding per Year 11 pupil for the two year period because of these protections.
For now, one pupil might attract more funding than another with the same characteristics in terms of deprivation, attainment and so on in another part of the country. The idea is that, eventually, two pupils with the same characteristics will attract the same amount of funding no matter what school they attend.
It's fair to say the majority of the schools at the very bottom of the pile are in urban areas and the biggest winners are mostly in rural areas.
The top 30 winners are almost all in Cumbria, Shropshire and Cornwall, while 13 of the bottom 30 are in London or Birmingham. Other losers are in Coventry, Rotherham and Wakefield.
However, it's not quite as simple as urban loses, rural wins. There is a chunk of losers in the funding formula in Lincolnshire, for example, while some London schools are gaining too because of the changes in the way the government assesses need.
But analysis from independent think tank the Education Policy Institute suggests the gains made by some schools will be wiped out by the overall cuts they will need to make to keep up with rising cost pressures.
It's also worth pointing out that the schools budget, which is for five to 16-year-olds, is distinct from overall education spending.
Mrs May claims spending on education is at record levels in absolute terms. In fact, while schools have done well in terms of funding per pupil in the longer term - it will be at least 70% higher in real terms in 2020 than it was in 1990 - the IFS says spending on pupils in sixth forms and further education will be no higher in 2020 than it was 30 years previously.

The second seed won 6-2 6-4 7-5 under the Centre Court roof to reach the last 16 without dropping a set.
"Murray is so comfortable in these surroundings now. He's maturing as a player and as a person. It's great to watch. It's been a disconcerting week for the top players, but Andy will be delighted with the way he has played."
And over Mariana Duque-Marino on the same court means Britain could still have two players in singles action at the start of week two.
Robson must return on Saturday to play Marina Erakovic, while Murray can enjoy a weekend off before he comes back on Monday to face Mikhail Youzhny or Viktor Troicki.
The 26-year-old is now three wins from a return to the final next Sunday, and in the absence of the beaten Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, is well placed to reach his fourth successive Grand Slam final.
"People are putting even more pressure on me because of the nature of how the draw has worked out," said Murray.
"It would be a lot easier if we just concentrated on each match at a time. Upsets are never far away and you have to be very focused on your game to avoid that."
Robredo, 31, has battled his way back from 471 in the world last year to his current ranking of 29 after a leg injury, but overcoming the world number two proved a challenge too far.
With the roof closed after rain began to fall as the players first made their way to court, Murray cranked up the pressure early on.
He grabbed a break in game three with a heavy cross-court forehand that Robredo could not handle, and moved 4-1 up when the Spaniard fired a forehand long.
The Scot's double break lasted only a couple of minutes as a sloppy service game followed, but a blistering backhand winner helped him to a third break and the set was his in just over half an hour.
Robredo's Centre Court debut was in danger of being embarrassingly swift when the world number two cracked a backhand past him to break at the start of the second set.
"Before the tournament I would have said there's slightly less pressure on Murray because he's won a Grand Slam now and won the Olympics at Wimbledon, but now because of the draw opening up it has all been 'he's got to get to the final at least!' I think it would be a classic match if he and Djokovic were to play, I respect the other players but I hope it happens."
The Spaniard managed to cling on gamely, and Murray showed a rare chink in his armour as he slipped break point down while trying to serve it out, but a huge forehand that sent Robredo tumbling at the baseline saw off the danger.
Robredo had come back from two sets down in three successive matches at the French Open earlier this month, and did not crumble this time.
It took a Murray backhand volley that landed on the back of the baseline to set up the chance of a decisive break at 5-5, and Robredo netted to effectively end his challenge.
Murray saw one match point slip by when Robredo fired a spectacular forehand winner, but moments later the Spaniard failed to repeat the trick and the British number one took his now customary place in week two.
"I thought I struck the ball really well from the start of the match," said Murray. "I had a lot of winners and that was probably the most pleasing part.
"The third set was a tough one so I've been tested and come through it well. I hope I can keep playing better." | Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly has confirmed that he received the Royal Prerogative of Mercy after he was recaptured in the Netherlands in 1986.

Repossessions of homes in the UK fell from 1,900 in the first quarter of the year to 1,800 in April to June, according to lenders' trade body UK Finance.
This is the lowest since quarterly data was first published in 2008.
The number of people falling behind with repayments also fell.
Those mortgages in arrears of 2.5% or more of the outstanding balance fell to 88,200 in the second quarter of the year - the lowest level since this data was first collected in 1994. This was down 5% on the first three months of the year.
Low interest rates have generally helped to keep mortgage repayments at affordable levels, even for families with stretched finances.
There was also a drop in the number of homeowners seriously behind on their monthly payments, reversing a recent trend.
There were 25,200 mortgages in arrears of 10% or more of the outstanding balance, down 5% on the first three months of the year and ending a run of five successive quarters of increases.
Paul Smee, head of mortgages at UK Finance, said: "These figures show that the overwhelming majority of borrowers are managing their mortgage payments successfully, and many of those who have experienced some difficulty in the past are able to recover their financial position. The recent improvement in the number of mortgages with high levels of arrears is particularly welcome.
"Borrowers are being helped by low interest rates, but mortgage costs are certain to rise at some stage. It is important therefore for customers to plan ahead and consider how their finances would be affected in those circumstances.
"As ever, lenders will continue to help borrowers resolve any financial difficulty if possible, so customers should not hesitate to contact their lender if they anticipate any payment problems." | The number of homes seized by lenders due to owners falling behind on their mortgage repayments has fallen to a new low. | 40,885,742 | 371 | 27 | false |
Shiloh Moore, 21, of Elmbridge Road, Deptford, appeared before Wimbledon magistrates and was held in custody.
Two others are in custody after being charged with the same offence.
Nassem, 17, was killed on 26 September when he crashed his car after a concrete block was hurled at it on the Turnham estate in Brockley, south-east London.
Tershan Thompson-Williams, 21, of Seager Place, Deptford; and Remi Moore, 22, of Lea Bridge Road, Leyton; were charged with violent disorder earlier this month.
Mr Thompson-Williams is due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court later this month, and Mr Moore in November.
Officers were called to reports of a fight on the estate which flared up before the car was attacked.
The suspects ran off afterwards, leaving passers-by to rush to the aid of Nassem and two friends who were in the car with him. A post-mortem examination revealed Nassem died as a result of multiple injuries.
A Muslim cleric in Izbat Marco, a village in Beni Suef province, said he saw the boys, aged nine and 10, take pages of the Koran and urinate on them.
A Coptic priest said local Islamists attended demonstrations calling for revenge for the desecration of a Koran.
Human rights groups say allegations of contempt of religion are on the rise.
Seventeen cases have been filed since the 2011 uprising, many of them against Copts, who make up about 10% of Egypt's 82 million people.
Tensions have also been heightened in the past month by the posting online of Innocence of Muslims - an amateur video made by a Coptic Christian in the US which mocks Islam and has sparked violent protests worldwide.
A neighbour of the boys detained in Izbat Marco said he doubted the allegations were true because they were illiterate and could not have recognised the Koran.
"We brought one boy and asked him if he knew this is the Koran. He didn't know it was the Koran. He can't even read or write, like most kids in the village," he told the Associated Press news agency.
The neighbour said a police office had detained the boys for their own safety because Islamists from outside the village had gathered at the mosque calling for revenge.
"We begged him to leave the kids. They can't spend night outside their home. The officer said he feared for their lives and he wanted to keep them with him."
On Thursday, a senior security official in Beni Suef, Gen Attiya Mazrou, said police had been ordered to release the boys, but that they would remain under investigation.

The subscription video-on-demand service will be available just before the Royal Rumble 2015, which takes place in the US on 25 January.
"This time we really mean it," said WWE CEO Vince McMahon, confirming the news in a video statement.
"You've been waiting a long time for the WWE Network and we thank you for your patience."
In October, the company blamed delays to the launch of the UK branch of the service on ongoing "discussions with potential partners".
It promised an announcement of the new date by 1 November, but this was again delayed.
WWE is currently broadcast exclusively on Sky Sports with pay per view events such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble sold for £15 on Sky Box Office.
Sky signed a new deal in 2014 with WWE to broadcast 12 pay per view events every year from January 2015 until 2019 exclusively in the UK and Ireland.
At the time managing director of Sky Sports, Barney Francis, said: "WWE is brilliant entertainment and I am delighted to once again extend our relationship with them.
"WWE is hugely popular with our viewers and now they can continue to watch all the big events and weekly programmes with us."
The WWE Network was launched in the US just before WrestleMania XXX in April 2014 and costs $9.99 (£6.16) a month with a minimum six-month contract.
Users get access to library matches and a daily live show as well as pre and post-match extras.
In the UK, subscriptions will be priced at £9.99 and there will be no minimum commitment.

Mr Carney said he believed that those chosen should represent the diversity of great British historical figures.
He wrote a letter in response to a Conservative MP who is disappointed that the appearance of Sir Winston Churchill on a new £5 note leaves no female characters on the currency.
Mr Carney said discussions began on his first day in office on Monday.
Mary Macleod is the Conservative MP for Brentford and Isleworth and chairwoman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Women in Parliament.
She told Mr Carney that the decision to leave no women on banknotes when Elizabeth Fry is replaced by Sir Winston Churchill was "completely unrepresentative of the role that women have played and continue to play in our country's history."
"The symbolism of having no women on our banknotes leaves a chasm where there was once inspiration."
In reply, Mr Carney said that it was not the Bank's intention to leave women unrepresented and that he was already discussing with his new colleagues the best way to ensure that the currency celebrated a diverse range of figures, both now and in the future.
"Like you, I consider Sir Winston Churchill to be an excellent choice to appear on a banknote," he said.
"However, I fully recognise that, with Sir Winston replacing Elizabeth Fry as the character on the £5 note - in the absence of any other changes to the Bank of England's notes - none of the four characters on our notes would be a woman."
"That is not the bank's intention."
Mr Carney added that he expected to make a public announcement once his discussions have been completed, no later than the end of July.
The Bank of England issues nearly a billion banknotes each year, and withdraws almost as many from circulation.
Notes are redesigned on a relatively frequent basis, in order to maintain security and prevent forgeries. Other security features include threads woven into the paper and microlettering.
The most recent new design from the Bank of England was the £50 note, which entered circulation in November. This features Matthew Boulton and James Watt who were most celebrated for bringing the steam engine into the textile manufacturing process.
Close by, his neighbours make bricks, grow vegetables and run shops such as cafes, a bakery, a barber's salon and a tattoo studio.
All the workers are inmates living at Punta de Rieles, a progressive "open" prison just outside the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo.
"We never imagined we would have something like this," said Campo, 50, who has spent 23 years behind bars for bank robbery.
"It's a model prison which offers opportunities you don't find anywhere else."
With incidents of prison violence recently hitting the headlines around Latin America, particularly in Brazil where more than 100 people died in January alone in a series of riots, the liberal philosophy behind Punta de Rieles offers an alternative view of how correctional institutions can be operated.
Its director, Luis Parodi, is a former schoolteacher who believes that "if the context changes, the man changes" and who runs his prison based on three fundamental elements: work, education and culture.
"We want to provide the best daily life possible, so prisoners can sleep peacefully and do not feel humiliated, scared or fearful," Mr Parodi told the BBC.
By creating a "village" which mimics the outside world as closely as conditions allow, he hopes to ease the rocky transition when prisoners return to freedom.
Many of the 630 inmates at Punta de Rieles are approaching the end of their sentences.
With the national re-offending rate estimated at around 50%, Mr Parodi often tells departing prisoners to "call me before you think about stealing something", and gives out his personal phone number.
Uruguay's prison population has more than doubled since 2000. Prisons are currently 9% over their capacity.
In this nation of 3.4 million inhabitants, 10,416 people were serving custodial sentences in 2016.
In 2009, a UN Special Rapporteur expressed concern about the country's penitentiary system, describing "sub-human conditions" in which inmates at one prison were held "like animals in metal boxes" for nearly 24 hours per day.
At Punta de Rieles, prisoners can circulate freely within the prison boundaries until 19:00.
Many use mobile phones to stay in touch with the outside world, and some are allowed tablets or computers.
Inside the cells, which are typically shared between four people, they are allowed to have televisions, games consoles, refrigerators and musical instruments.
Families can visit three times per week, and overnight stays have been allowed since 2015.
In many cases, family members assist inmates who run businesses which sell their wares outside, like Cesar Campo's carpentry workshop.
Of 38 active "companies", 35 were started by prisoners themselves, and another is run by several former inmates who still return to work at the prison.
All business owners pay a small tax, which is used to provide micro-credit loans for inmates opening a new venture.
Successful start-ups are also registered with Uruguayan tax authorities, and Luis Parodi's latest initiative enables prisoners to open bank accounts from inside.
Another of Mr Parodi's unconventional ideas was to create a security force comprised almost entirely of unarmed female guards.
"At first I was scared, but not for long," said Ines Marcos, who has been working at Punta de Rieles for three-and-a-half years. "I wouldn't say we're like their mothers, but we give the right advice, like a guide or a sister who helps them out."
Sport and cultural activities are offered to complement education programmes.
A colourful music studio in the main cell block rumbles with noise at all hours of the day as bands practise.
"Instead of staying inside, cutting your arms or building up rage against the police, we do something positive," said Santiago Garrido, 28, who plays in a rock group and teaches guitar to fellow inmates.
"It's a way of channelling our energy. If we didn't do this, our heads would be thinking about other stuff," he added.
"The need to save ourselves is fundamental."
Garrido's group is currently working on an album that will be recorded at a studio outside the prison.
With members of a theatre workshop, he frequently performs at other penitentiaries and in public, including a show at the Uruguayan parliament last year.
Adriano Baraldo, 29, is an actor and singer who is serving a 19-year sentence for armed robbery.
"I recognise that I've done bad things," he says.
"I shouldn't have left my children [to grow up like] orphans."
"Prisons are the sewer of the capitalist system, but people can always learn to recycle themselves."

The final result came in Fermanagh and South Tyrone where UUP's Tom Elliott lost to Sinn Féin's Michelle Gildernew.
Former SDLP party leaders Mark Durkan, Margaret Ritchie and Alasdair McDonnell were toppled in Foyle, South Down and Belfast South.
In Foyle, Sinn Féin's Elisha McCallion won by 169 votes after a recount.
She is the first non-SDLP MP to win the seat since the Foyle constituency was formed in 1983.
Mr Durkan said the loss "hurt" and apologised to former SDLP leader John Hume, who was the constituency's MP from 1983 to 2005.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said it was a "very difficult night" for the party and paid tribute to the party's three former MPs.
Meanwhile, the DUP celebrated a resurgence with a 10% increase in their vote share, a return to a level of support they last enjoyed in the 2005 general election.
The confirmed results saw the DUP win 10 seats, Sinn Féin win seven and independent candidate Lady Sylvia Hermon retain her seat in North Down.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said she was "absolutely delighted" with the result, and that it showed the voters had bought into the party's vision.
Michelle O'Neill, Sinn Féin's northern leader, ruled out the prospect of the party taking its seats at Westminster.
The Conservatives are on course to be the largest party but may not have an overall majority, which may make Northern Ireland's 18 MPs crucial in the balance of power.
In South Down, Ms Ritchie lost to Sinn Féin's Chris Hazzard while the DUP's Emma Little-Pengelly won the seat in Belfast South from Dr McDonnell.
The UUP's Danny Kinahan lost his seat in South Antrim to the DUP's Paul Girvan.
Politics here has turned another corner.
The middle-ground parties have been wiped from Westminster and the DUP will be Northern Ireland's only voice on the green benches.
Playing the union and border poll card has paid off for the DUP and Sinn Féin.
The polarisation of politics has moved to another level.
The upshot may well be a coming together of the unionist parties while the SDLP are likely to look south to Fianna Fail to find their way back from the wilderness.
Lady Sylvia Hermon retained her seat in North Down but had her majority of over 9,000 votes cut to around 1,200 by DUP candidate Alex Easton.
The DUP's Jim Shannon, Jeffrey Donaldson, Gregory Campbell, Gavin Robinson, Ian Paisley, Nigel Dodds, David Simpson and Sammy Wilson retained their seats in Strangford, Lagan Valley, East Londonderry, Belfast East, Belfast North, Upper Bann and East Antrim.
Sinn Féin's Paul Maskey, Mickey Brady and Francie Molloy also retained their seats in Belfast West, Newry and Armagh and Mid-Ulster while Barry McElduff won in West Tyrone.
A total of 109 candidates stood across Northern Ireland and 1.2m people were eligible to vote.
The general election exit poll indicated that the Conservatives will be the largest party at Westminster but may not secure an overall majority.
If this proves correct, Northern Ireland's 18 MPs may become crucial in the formation of a government.
The discovery could explain why seabirds such as the albatross swallow plastic, causing injury or death.
The smell, similar to the odour of rotting seaweed, is caused by the breakdown of plankton that sticks to floating bits of plastic.
About 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic and may keep some in their bellies, putting their health at risk.
The rate of plastic pollution is increasing around the world, with a quarter of a billion tonnes of plastic waste recorded in the oceans in 2014.
Scientists think seabirds associate the smell of plastic with food - and are tricked into swallowing plastic waste.
"These seabirds actually use odours to find their way around in the world and to find food," said Matthew Savoca, of University of California, Davis.
"We found a chemical on plastic that these birds typically associate with food, but now it's being associated with plastic.
"And so these birds might be very confused - and tricked into consuming plastic as food."
In experiments, scientists at the University of California put microbeads into mesh bags and dangled them in the ocean.
After three weeks at sea, they analysed the plastic for chemical signatures.
Nothing was found on new plastic samples, but three types of plastic in the sea acquired a distinctive chemical smell.
The chemical - dimethyl sulfide - has a characteristic sulphurous odour associated with boiling cabbage or decaying seaweed.
It is also produced in the oceans through the breakdown of microscopic algae or phytoplankton, which collects on plastic.
Seabirds with a keen sense of smell, including albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters, can detect this odour, which they associate with food.
Thus, smells as well as visual cues - such as shiny plastic - may attract seabirds to plastic.
Co-researcher Prof Gabrielle Nevitt, also from UC Davis, said species such as petrels were likely to be affected by plastic ingestion.
"These species nest in underground burrows, which are hard to study, so they are often overlooked," she said.
"Yet, based on their foraging strategy, this study shows they're actually consuming a lot of plastic and are particularly vulnerable to marine debris."
The researchers are calling for more research to see if other animals - such as fish, penguins and turtles - are also drawn to plastic by chemicals.
And they say it might be possible to develop plastics that either do not attract algae or break down more quickly in the environment.
Even knowing which species are most at risk based on the way they find food is informative - because it helps us - the scientific community - figure out how to best allocate monitoring and conservation effort to those species most at need," said Dr Savoca.
The research is published in the journal Science Advances.

They said he had severe dementia.
Sommer, 93, was one of 10 ex-Nazi officers found guilty in absentia in Italy of one of the country's worst civilian wartime massacres.
He was convicted for his role in the murders of 560 civilians in the Tuscan village of Sant'Anna di Stazzema in August 1944.
The Nazis, who were retreating in northern Italy ahead of Allied troops, surrounded the village early on 12 August and in the space of a few hours murdered men, women and 119 children.
Sommer was serving at the time in an SS Panzer division. He now lives in a nursing home in Hamburg-Volksdorf and tops the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most-wanted Nazi criminals.
Hamburg lawyer Gabriele Heinecke, who has campaigned on behalf of the victims' families to put him on trial, said she was unhappy with the way specialists had reached the conclusion that Sommer was suffering from dementia.
When asked by Berlin website Tageszeitung if she thought dementia could be faked, Ms Heinecke said: "Of course. In matters of pensions it's something that happens every day."
The decision to drop the trial comes as Oskar Groening, another 93-year-old former Nazi, described as "The Bookkeeper of Auschwitz" is being tried in Germany on at least 300,000 counts of accessory to murder.
For years, attempts have been made to put Sommer on trial in Germany, and prosecutors in Hamburg said if he had been deemed fit he would "with high probability have been charged with 342 cases of murder, committed cruelly and on base motives".
In 2012, the case was dropped for lack of evidence after a 10-year investigation, but it was eventually re-opened in August last year.
Police say he attacked officers with a large knife after being approached by a Boston police officer and an FBI agent.
The shooting took place early on Tuesday morning outside a CVS pharmacy in the residential Roslindale neighbourhood of Boston.
Officials say the man, identified as 26-year-old Usaama Rahim, had been under 24 hour surveillance.
Police and FBI officials would not comment on any ties to Islamic extremism, or whether Mr Rahim had been planning a terrorist act.
Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans described the man as "known suspect wanted for some terrorist-related information", but he said there was no warrant for his arrest.
Officers approached the man without drawing their guns intending to interview him on the street, officials said.
They did not intend to take him into custody at that time, although officials acknowledge he was considered a threat to the public.
"He's someone we were watching for quite a time... and so that level of alarm brought us to question him today," Mr Evans said.
"I don't think anyone expected the reaction we were going to get out of him today, and that's why we had the tragic turnout here."
Iman Ibrahim Rahim, a religious leader in San Francisco, had posted to his Facebook page saying his brother was shot in the back while waiting for a bus to bring him to his job, contradicting police reports.
"This morning while at the bus stop in Boston, my youngest brother Usaama Rahim was waiting for the bus to go to his job. He was confronted by three Boston Police officers and subsequently shot in the back three times," Iman Rahim wrote.
Iman Rahim says his brother was speaking on the phone with his father when he was shot.
"His last words to my father who heard the shots were: I can't breathe!"
Officials say the man refused multiple orders to drop his weapon before charging at the officers.
"Our officers tried their best to get him to put down the knife,'' Mr Evans told the Boston Globe newspaper.
"Unfortunately, they had to take a life.''
Police say witnesses and video confirm that the officers were retreating when they each fired shots at Rahim, who was wielding a "military style knife".
The suspect was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead from at least two gunshot wounds.
The two officers are in hospital to be examined for stress, but did not suffer physical injuries, police said.
An investigation will be conducted by Boston Police and the FBI to determine if the shooting was justified.
A home in the nearby town of Everett was being searched in connection with the case.
Officials say there is no threat to public safety.
Governing body British Cycling said there had been a 25% increase in Welsh members in the last year.
About 70% of them are competitive cyclists with the rest including commuters.
The rise has been in part to the success of Nicole Cooke and GB cyclists who took eight golds at Beijing.
British Cycling said the pastime in Britain had "never been in better health".
Gold Olympian and Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins is just one of the high-profile names who are said to be part of an upsurge in interest into the sport.
The attention on Thursday turns to Cardiff cyclist Geraint Thomas, who won gold in Beijing, as the GB team pursuit take to the track in the Velodrome.
And cycling clubs around Wales are preparing for a rush of new members as people are inspired by this success.
Phil Graham, secretary of Swansea Wheelers Cycling Club, said: "I'm a solicitor and I was with a client on Monday and we spent half an hour talking about her wanting her kids to go out cycling and join a club.
"She had been watching the Olympic [cycling] road race. Until she had watched that, she had no idea how the racing worked.
"I suspect if there was no coverage of it on the TV she wouldn't have known about it."
Mr Graham said that the Beijing Olympics in 2008 was an important factor in the increased interest in the sport.
"Wiggins himself would say it's not an overnight thing. It's definitely been growing," he said.
"In the past 12 months, our average attendance has gone up about 20%."
Other clubs around Wales have enjoyed similar success in attracting new riders.
Dax Jenkins, chairman of Pontypool Road Cycling Club in Torfaen, said it had doubled its membership in the past three years.
"That's because of the success of the cyclists at the Olympic Games [in Beijing]," he said.
"I would say the success the British lads are having has been building for the past five years.
"It's promoted an interest in cycling and we've noticed a surge in membership."
He said the success of British cyclists had been "phenomenal".
"We've got Geraint Thomas as well. I think he's going to concentrate on the road racing the next few years and we will see him making an impact," he said.
Mr Jenkins said he had noticed an increase in the number of people who were using bicycles to commute to work.
Director of development for Welsh Cycling, Ian Jenkins, said there had been a "real surge" in recreational cycling, including organised non-competitive events, due to the interest sparked by the elite riders.
"That was triggered off by Beijing but we're expecting another spike this year with Bradley Wiggins in the Tour de France and all the Olympic coverage that's upon us," he said.
"I think the other key thing since Beijing is that we've almost doubled our under-16 membership.
"It's very important to us because we're bringing youngsters into the sport."
But there is concern that seeing elite cyclists on the television may give the message that it is a sport only for ultra-fit athletes.
Lee Waters, director of sustainable transport group Sustrans Cymru, said: "One of the barriers is that people feel they are not fit enough for it.
"There's a danger people might get put off by somebody like Bradley Wiggins from giving cycling a go.
"Having said that, it's very high profile and very positive so we expect it to inspire people to try it, which is fantastic, but we also want the message to be that you don't have to be like this to have a go."
Ana Garrido thinks it is. The 50-year-old former civil servant's personal investigation played a key role in exposing a massive corruption network linked to Spain's ruling Popular Party (PP).
But it is her life that has been ruined.
When 37 accused, including an ex-minister and the PP's former treasurer, go on trial in Madrid on Tuesday, it will mark a milestone in the fight against corruption in Spain.
But Ms Garrido no longer works at the council in Boadilla del Monte, a leafy Madrid suburb, where almost a decade ago she realised that something shady was going on. Instead, she has turned to making and selling handicraft jewellery to pay her rent.
She started working at the council in 1993. Then in 2007, as part of her role in the youth department, she says she received strange instructions to favour certain companies when contracts were to be awarded.
She cross-checked data and found that under the PP mayor of Boadilla at the time, Arturo Gonzalez Panero, a network of firms was being favoured without due process.
"I was passionate about my job working with young people and children. I had a good salary, I was buying a nice home and travelled a lot. I was a very happy person."
When Ms Garrido began to realise the dimensions of a scandal that spread far wider than the confines of her home town, she felt scared, exposed and vulnerable, she says.
"There is nothing like a whistle-blowers' charter in Spain. Not only are we not protected, but we can be persecuted and harassed by those we accuse of abusing power."
Ms Garrido's evidence ended up in the hands of investigating judge Baltasar Garzon. But her treatment at work led to clinical depression and, eventually, giving up her civil service career.
"My bosses held meetings without me, made me change office over and over and halted each project I was working on. Every day when I went in, I just didn't know what was in store for me."
Eventually, Ms Garrido won a lawsuit against the council for harassment, but she has not yet seen the €95,000 (£82,000; $106,558) awarded to her as compensation, because Boadilla town hall has appealed against the ruling. And the conservative PP has reported Ms Garrido for keeping public documents in her home.

Ms Garrido also claims to have been vilified by sections of the Spanish media.
"Even some of my friends have asked me if I have tampered with documents. This is what they do; the aim is to discredit the whistle-blower, and it has not happened only to me."
In Andalucia, the UGT labour union is trying to have former employee Roberto Macias jailed for four years, for stealing computer files that helped uncover alleged fraud in the use of government subsidies.
Ms Garrido says that all of the parties in Spain's parliament are receptive to her Platform for Honesty's proposals to establish certain legal safeguards for whistle-blowers - all except the PP.
So has it been worth it, or is Spanish politics just as corrupt as it was in 2007, when Ms Garrido's life changed for ever?
"There is still a great deal of corruption in Spain, but today perhaps people will think twice about taking things that they used to assume was their right. I would do it all over again, but I have only managed to get so far because I don't have children. It is not the same to suffer extortion and threats directly if it affects the life of your children."
Nicola Cross, 37, was found with stab wounds at her house in Hemel Hempstead on Monday, an hour after police were called to the same street over reports of a man behaving suspiciously.
Her body was discovered after officers responding to a separate call about a break-in at a neighbour's house heard a disturbance from next door.
Marcin Porczynski, 25, has been charged with Ms Cross's murder.
He also faces two counts of kidnap and a charge of burglary relating to a neighbouring property in Dunlin Road, police said.
Mr Porczynski, from Claymore Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, is due to appear at Hatfield Remand Court on Thursday.
Two children were in the house when officers found Ms Cross's body. Police said they were physically unharmed.
Det Ch Insp Jerome Kent said the children were safe and with family.
Ms Cross's death was a "tragic and isolated incident," he said, and sought to reassure people such events were "highly unusual within Hertfordshire."
Hertfordshire Police has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission in relation to the case.
A 19-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle has been released on police bail until 24 September.
Variety says it will be based on the Iron Man star's Perry Mason reboot, which he had been developing as a feature film at Warner Bros for several years.
It is thought it will be a short series, rather than a TV film.
1960s legal drama Perry Mason was one of TV's longest-running legal series.
The show, which starred Raymond Burr, was based on a character created by author Erle Stanley Gardner.
Mason is an unorthodox Los Angeles investigating criminal defence lawyer, and each episode focused on one client's murder trial.
Deadline report that the series could be ongoing with future seasons dependent on Downey Jr's availability.
There have been two series of True Detective - the first staring Matthew McConaughey was highly acclaimed but the second series disappointed critics.
It will be the first TV role for Downey Jr since comedy series Ally McBeal, starring Calista Flockhart, which he left in 2001.
He won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors' Guild award for his performance as Ally's boyfriend in the hit show, but left after he was arrested for drugs offences.
Downey Jr is currently filming Spider-Man: Homecoming, reprising his role of Tony Stark/Iron Man.
It has also been announced he will star in a third Sherlock Holmes film.

The victim had been returning with friends to a house in The Drive, Hullbridge, on Sunday evening when they were approached by two masked men.
Detectives say the victim, 57, was "pushed" - and "fell heavily into a low level wall". He suffered a brain injury and died in hospital on Tuesday.
Police are treating his death as "an isolated, targeted incident".
It was also revealed that one of the masked men was carrying a gun, police say, but it was not used in the attack.
The robbery took place when the group of friends returned to a house at around 23:10 GMT on Sunday after spending the evening in the Anchor Pub on Ferry Road.
Police said the group was forced inside and demands were made. A sum of money was handed over.
Det Ch Insp Martin Pasmore, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "We understand that during the incident one of the suspects pushed the victim and he fell heavily onto a low level wall, causing a serious brain injury.
"He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, where he sadly died.
"This is an extremely tragic incident during which an innocent man lost his life. We are treating this as an isolated, targeted incident.
"These men were clearly ready to use any level of violence necessary to achieve their aim."
A US team studied a mineral called apatite, which is found in a variety of lunar rock types.
Apatite, the name for which comes from a Greek word meaning deceit, may have misled scientists into thinking the Moon is wetter than it actually is.
Lead author Jeremy Boyce said: "We thought we had a great indicator, but it turns out it's not that reliable."
Initial analysis of the lunar rocks brought back to Earth by the Apollo missions suggested the Moon was "bone dry".
But in the last decade, studies of volcanic glasses and apatite in lunar rocks have revealed them to be hydrogen-rich, building a compelling case for significant water having been present on the Moon as different minerals crystallised from cooling magma.
Dr Boyce, a Nasa Early Career Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles, presented his results at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in The Woodlands, Texas, this week. The work has also just been published in the prestigious journal Science.
The UCLA geochemist, along with collaborators Francis McCubbin, Steve Tomlinson, James Greenwood and Allan Treiman, simulated the formation of apatite minerals containing different amounts of volatile elements - hydrogen, chlorine and fluorine.
They demonstrated that it was possible to start with any water composition in the magma and, by varying only the degree of crystallisation and the chlorine content, reproduce all the features seen in a diverse range of apatite from the Moon.
"We used to think it was a simple proportionality - that the more hydrogen was in the apatite, the more hydrogen in the magma," Dr Boyce explained.
"Then we figured out… that it's a competition between hydrogen and mostly fluorine. Fluorine is the element that apatite most wants."
To illustrate the complex chemical process involved in the formation of lunar apatite, Dr Boyce used a dating analogy, in which fluorine is apatite's ideal partner and the two pair up preferentially. Chlorine is also attractive to apatite, but not quite as much as fluorine.
He continued: "Then the last apatite comes and there's nothing left but hydrogen. So it says: 'Okay, want to go out'?
"So all the apatites are taking all the fluorine and hiding it from the melt. Then the melt forgets that it had all that fluorine and the apatites get more chlorine-rich and more hydrogen-rich." In this way, apatite may have produced a misleading indication of the original abundance of water in the Moon's interior.
The abundance of water in lunar rocks has important implications for the prevailing theory of the Moon's formation - known as the Giant Impact Model. According to the theory, several billion years ago, a planet-sized object called Theia collided with Earth, blasting rock into Earth orbit.
This material then coalesced to form the Moon. But this fiery origin story requires that volatile elements were boiled off, leaving the Moon depleted of water relative to Earth. So a less watery Moon ties in better with this theory.
The result generates new uncertainty about how much water the Moon started with. And the researchers point out that other sources of hydrogen, such as the solar wind, could have been incorporated into the apatite - further complicating the picture.
Dr Francis McCubbin, senior research scientist at the University of New Mexico, who's a co-author on the new study, told the BBC: "There is some hydrogen that's coming in from the solar wind and getting stuck on the surface. But there is some amount - definitely seems to be less than on Earth - that the Moon started with."
But what's also notable is that some of the authors of this study previously published some of the papers that built the case for a watery Moon.
"Clearly, we did the best we could at the time. But that's the progress of science - there are course corrections," Dr Boyce explained.
"Definitely, there is still water on the Moon. Those rocks are not completely anhydrous. There's a really interesting record of heavy chlorine and hydrogen isotopes. But the abundances, we've demonstrated, are difficult to interpret."
Dr McCubbin commented: "Forty years ago, the Apollo astronauts built a building and the elevator was on a floor where [the water abundance] was one part per billion (ppb).
"We took it up to where we were near terrestrial abundances, and then we realised we were on the wrong floor. We've taken it back down, but not all the way down to where we were 40 years ago."
Dr Everett Gibson, from Nasa's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, who was not involved in the latest study, told BBC News he found the results eminently plausible.
He said the scant evidence for hydrated minerals in lunar rocks had always been a problem for models of a water-rich Moon.
"The worry is, everything we measure is being modified and concentrated in a way that makes it impossible to get back to where it started," explained Dr Boyce.
And Dr McCubbin commented: "Apatite's name comes from the Greek word 'apat', meaning 'deceit'. And this is the last time we're going to let it trick us."
The new results represent a personal landmark for Dr Boyce, who was hospitalised in 2012 with a viral infection and spent several weeks in a coma. The researcher had to learn to walk again afterwards.
"We're celebrating as only scientists celebrate, by publishing papers and getting back into our normal lives," he said.
Jeremy Boyce added that he, Francis McCubbin and James Greenwood of Wesleyan University had been publishing papers on lunar apatite at the same time and could have spent the rest of their careers as scientific rivals.
However, the three scientists subsequently formed an alliance at a scientific meeting, deciding to collaborate, rather than compete, on the problem.

God Save the Queen is the national anthem for the UK as a whole but after today's vote MPs have said that England should have its own anthem in the same way as Scotland and Wales.
Scotland's anthem is Flower of Scotland, while Welsh people sing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
Prime Minister David Cameron's choice would be Jerusalem, which is popular among groups campaigning for England's own anthem.
Other choices include Land of Hope and Glory, I Vow To Thee My Country and There'll Always Be an England - or an entirely new national anthem could be written.
There's plenty of time to think about it; MPs will discuss it again in March before a final decision on whether to go ahead with a new anthem for England is made.
David Anderson QC gave the warning in a report written before he stood down as the UK independent terrorism reviewer.
Officers at Scottish ports told him they had "incomplete and unreliable" information from the ferry companies.
Police Scotland this month launched a campaign urging the public to help defeat terrorism.
Mr Anderson said: "The threat of terrorists crossing from Northern Ireland to Scotland is a real and substantiated one.
"The Canary Wharf truck bomb of 1996, manufactured by the IRA in South Armagh, killed two people, injured more than 100 and caused £150m worth of damage.
"It was transported from Larne to Stranraer on a Stena Lines ferry, then driven to London."
Mr Anderson stood down as the terrorism reviewer at the start of March.
His report said passenger lists for ferries connecting Belfast and Larne in Co Antrim to the Scottish west coast were incomplete and unreliable.
He warned port security had been impaired by shortcomings.
Mr Anderson added: "On my visits in 2015/16 to the seaports of Kent and to Cairnryan and Loch Ryan in the south-west of Scotland, the common and strongly expressed refrain from ports officers on the ground was that they could do their jobs more effectively if they had better advance information about passengers arriving (and departing) by sea.
"In the absence of such information, it is impossible to target stops as precisely as it is, for example, at airports where advance passenger information is widely available."
Police Scotland has defended its efforts in ensuring security at sea ports.
A statement from the force said: "While there is a distinction between the type of passenger information available at a ferry port compared to an international airport, officers from Police Scotland's Border Policing Command work closely with operators at the respective ferry ports to ensure this is a safe environment for passengers who travel as well as the safety and security of communities elsewhere in the UK."
Mr Anderson also said the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was being used by extremists based in the south.
The border with the Republic and freedom of movement between Britain and Ireland is coming under fresh scrutiny as the Prime Minister prepares to launch Brexit negotiations.
One operating theatre has been closed at the Institute of Neurosciences at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus in Glasgow.
Only emergency surgery is being carried out due to the risk of infection.
Waste pipes in wards above the recovery area burst on Friday, causing the leaks into the recovery area - the second incident in a matter of weeks.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said some elective operations, including brain and spinal surgery, had been cancelled and were being moved.
The ageing unit was not upgraded when the £842m new hospital was built and its operating theatres are due to be replaced next year.
A spokesman for the health board said: "On Friday of last week, the recovery area, not the theatres, in the Institute of Neurosciences was affected by a leak from the pipes in the wards above.
"Regrettably, this was the second incident during the month of February and, on the advice of infection control colleagues, we have postponed some elective surgical procedures in the theatres whilst our estates staff conduct essential survey work to identify remedial work required.
"Two theatres are being used for emergency procedures, which are being carried out as normal.
The spokesman added: "The board has already awarded a £7m contract to build a new state-of-the-art theatre suite, which will be ready in early 2017. The existing theatres will be refurbished for alternative uses.
"While our estates colleagues work to get the theatres reopened as quickly as possible, we will carry out our elective programme utilising theatres in other units, including the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital complex, which has some 30 adult theatres, allowing us to re-distribute theatre activity as required.
"We recognise that this is frustrating for our patients, families and our staff and would like to express our apologies to those patients affected."

The Gunners are fourth in the table, having slipped nine points behind leaders Chelsea following successive 2-1 defeats at Everton and Manchester City.
Wenger, in his 20th season as Arsenal boss, compared football with society and politics, saying "everybody has a freedom to have an opinion".
The Frenchman, who is out of contract at the end of the season, said he continues to question himself "always".
"I'm not immune to critics," he added. "But immune to excessive reactions, yes.
"I've been long enough in the job to put that into perspective as people who love the club, who are really disappointed on Monday morning and get their frustration out. We have to live with that.
"It doesn't mean they are not ready to change their mind if we win the next game."

Wenger - who defended Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil from criticism about his work-rate on Friday - said he had seen many players fail in the Premier League "because they did not have resistance to stress".
"It's not easy to walk out sometimes in a hostile atmosphere and perform at your best. We are usually educated to it slowly.
"Everybody responds individually to that [the mood of a crowd]. Some are more affected than others.
"I believe what is important is the strength you find inside and you respond inside the club to be united inside the dressing room.
"You do not go in the season and have no disappointment. We have just lost two games.
"It's the teams who respond well together who have the most successful season. It's part of it.
"In 20 years I had very few seasons where you start on the motorway and you finish on the motorway with no car in front of you."
If the A$16.5bn (£10bn; $12.5bn) project goes ahead in Queensland's Galilee Basin - and latest indications are that it will - the coal produced there will emit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year than entire countries such as Kuwait and Chile, claim its opponents.
Delayed for six years by a stream of legal challenges and environmental impact assessments, the so-called Carmichael mine - to be developed and operated by the Indian mining giant Adani - has polarised Australians.
Supporters, who include local communities, the federal and Queensland governments, and, naturally, the resources industry, insist that it will bring jobs and prosperity to a depressed region of Queensland.
Critics, on the other hand, among them environmentalists and climate scientists, warn that the 60m tonnes of coal to be dug up annually from Carmichael's 45km (28-mile) pits will exacerbate global warming and threaten the already ailing Great Barrier Reef.
They also say Australia is out of step with international moves to decrease reliance on fossil fuels, in line with the Paris agreement to limit average temperature rises to "well below" two degrees above pre-industrial levels.
India itself recently forecast that 57% of its electricity would come from renewable sources by 2027. Britain plans to close all its coal-fired plants by 2025, while Canada aims to do so by 2030.
In Australia, by contrast, the conservative government is talking up "clean coal" - a commodity most experts consider a pipe dream - and attacking renewable energy as unreliable and expensive. It has also ruled out any kind of emissions trading scheme.
Already the world's biggest exporter of thermal coal (the type used to generate electricity), Australia is now eyeing new markets in Asia.
In collaboration with Japan, which manufactures power stations, it is "actively encouraging developing countries such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to build new coal-fired generators so we can sell coal to them", Richard Denniss, chief economist at the Australia Institute, a progressive think-tank, told the BBC.
With its long gestation and massive scale - six open-cut and up to three underground mines sprawling across 250sq km of arid landscape, with the entire operation engulfing almost twice that area - Carmichael has become a flashpoint for pro- and anti-coal forces.
The former contend that its coal will provide millions of Indians with cheap, reliable electricity, lifting them out of "energy poverty". Royalties from the mine will also give a much-needed boost to the Queensland government's finances.
The latter see it as a symbol of Australia's reluctance to commit to the radical action which scientists say is required to prevent dangerous levels of warming.
Frank Jotzo, director of the Australian National University's Centre for Climate Economics and Policy, warns: "The opening up of new mining areas like the Galilee Basin is fundamentally incompatible with the global goal of well below two degrees."
Like others, Prof Jotzo is unconvinced by arguments to the contrary. For instance, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull - who has called coal "a very important part... of the global energy mix and likely to remain that way for a very long time" - has said that developing Carmichael would not push up global supply.
Mr Turnbull has also said that, far from reducing global emissions, calling a halt to Australian coal exports could actually increase them, since the likes of India would import dirtier coal from elsewhere.
According to the Australia Institute, the quality of coal in the Galilee Basin - an area bigger than the United Kingdom - is among Australia's poorest. ("Dirty" coal has a lower energy content, meaning more of it has to be burnt.)
The federal Environment and Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg, claims there is a "moral case" for Australia to supply coal to developing nations.
Others point to the serious health costs of pollution caused by burning coal, and to forecasts that climate change will hit the world's poorest hardest. Critics also say solar energy could power remote Indian villages more easily and cheaply.
Until relatively recently, some were predicting that Adani would walk away from the Galilee, frustrated by funding difficulties, the lengthy environmental assessments and the court actions, one of which concerned the mine's impact on the yakka skink, an endangered reptile.
One by one, though, the company has cleared the regulatory hurdles, albeit with 190 state and 36 federal conditions now attached to the project.
Last December came the high-profile announcement that the last major element had been approved: a rail line to transport coal from the mine, 400km inland, to the export terminal, near the Great Barrier Reef.
An Adani spokesman notes that the company has already spent A$1.3bn on the project, including more than A$100m on legal fees - "without putting one shovel in the ground". Those figures, he says, "show the company's commitment".
Lately, opposition has focused on news that the federal government is considering giving Adani a cheap A$1bn loan to build the rail link - infrastructure which some fear could become a "stranded [obsolete] asset".
Prof Jotzo told the BBC: "It's questionable whether this mine will still be a viable proposition in two decades' time, whereas infrastructure such as a rail line or port expansion [also planned by Adani] would have a lifetime of 50 to 100 years."
With construction of the mine expected to begin by late 2017 - assuming final legal appeals, including one by a local indigenous landowners' group, are rejected - activists are gearing up for a campaign of mass protests.
One of the biggest issues galvanising opponents is the potential impact on the Great Barrier Reef, both indirectly through intensifying climate change, and directly through dredging of the seafloor to expand port facilities and increasing shipping across the reef.
As for jobs, Adani's own economist has admitted in court that, rather than creating 10,000 positions, as the company has promised, the mine will employ fewer than 1,500 people.
Markus Eichhorn, from the University of Nottingham, said Britain's large deer population was damaging natural habitats and hurting bird numbers.
He argued hunting deer for venison would help to reverse a decline in the number of ground-nesting birds including the nightingale.
Animal rights group, Animal Aid, said the move would be "highly unethical".
Dr Eichorn led a team of academics commissioned by the government to study the causes behind the decline of woodland birds such as the nightingale, marsh tit, willow tit and lesser-spotted woodpecker.
All four birds are on the RSPB's red list and have suffered a "severe" decline in their breeding populations in the past 25 years.
In that time it is believed the population of the UK's deer has risen from about one million to about two million.
Comparing 40 woodland areas in England, the team found in areas of dense deer populations there was 68% less foliage near the ground compared with areas with fewer deer.
Dr Eichhorn said deer populations were at "extraordinarily high levels" due to the absence of large predators, among other reasons.
"We should not think of it in terms of a cull. We already eat venison in Britain but a large proportion of that is farmed meat.
"We [should] start eating wild-caught, free range British venison given that it's abundant and wildly available."
A spokeswoman for Animal Aid, an animal rights groups, said deer should be treated with respect.
She said: "It is humans that have caused deer populations to increase and these majestic animals should not be forced to pay for our mistakes with their lives."
Animals rights group PETA said: "Ecological harmony will never be achieved through the barrel of a gun."

Kathryn Smith, 23, murdered 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith during a "savage outburst" in the girl's bedroom.
Her then partner, Matthew Rigby, 22, was jailed for three years and six months after being found guilty of causing or allowing Ayeeshia's death.
The judge said her life was "brutally snuffed out" for no apparent reason.
Mrs Justice Geraldine Andrews said it was "a vicious beating in her own bedroom, surrounded by her toys and playthings".
Latest reaction and live updates
Mother and stepfather 'in it together'
Ayeeshia collapsed at the flat in Britannia Drive, in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, after suffering a fatal heart laceration - a type of injury usually only found in crash victims.
But she had suffered many other injuries, including a bleed on the brain, in the months before she was killed.
Both defendants cried in the dock at Birmingham Crown Court as the long list was read out.
Smith claimed throughout the trial Ayeeshia died after a seizure, while Rigby told the court the child's injuries could have been caused when he gave her CPR.
Sentencing Smith to life, following her conviction for murder, the judge described Ayeeshia, known as AJ, as a frail little girl who was viciously crushed.
The judge said: "Ayeeshia was a particularly vulnerable victim, thin and slight of frame, deserving of protection and under the protection of social services for the whole of her short life.
"She was killed in her own home by her own mother - that is the grossest breach of trust."
The outburst of savage violence was not an isolated incident and Smith had an "explosive temper", she said.
Mrs Justice Andrews called Ayeeshia's mother a "devious, manipulative and selfish young woman".
She said Smith was "prepared to tell lie after lie" to get her own way, and that Ayeeshia had come "a poor second" during her brief life.
"You wanted to take care of Ayeeshia yourself but not at the expense of running your life, and especially your love life, the way you wanted," she said.
"The picture you wished to paint of yourself of the down-trodden subservient mother is far from the truth.
"Neither immaturity nor lack of intelligence was a significant factor in the commission of these offences.
"Just a case of venting your anger on a defenceless child."
She told Rigby he knew Ayeeshia was at risk but turned a blind eye.
"Your failure to act when you could and should have done is something you'll have to live with for the rest of your life," she told him.
Ayeeshia was known to social services at Derbyshire County Council all her life, after her pregnant mother was found living in a garage in Overseal before being moved into supported housing in nearby Swadlincote.
Her father, Ricky Booth, said he had "made calls to social services several weeks before AJ died warning them that she was at "serious risk".
"Someone should be held responsible and accountable within the social services," said a family statement read by family spokesman Robert Wade.
He said after Ayeeshia's cremation Smith had taken her ashes from the undertakers.
"We have no idea where the ashes are and we would like them returned so the family can finally lay AJ to rest," said Mr Wade.
Burton MP Andrew Griffiths has called for a public inquiry into Ayeeshia's death.
A serious case review is being carried out by the Derbyshire safeguarding children's board to examine what lessons can be learned from the child's death.
Smith, had most recently lived at Sandfield Road, Nottingham, and Rigby, at Sloan Drive, Nottingham.
An NSPCC spokesman said: "The people responsible for Ayeeshia's brutal death have quite rightly been jailed; for many it is incomprehensible that a parent could submit their own flesh and blood to such abuse.
"A serious case review of the circumstances will shine a light on what happened but as with the hundreds of serious case reviews that have come before, it's doubtful it will really advance child protection."
Firefighters were called out to Yardley, Birmingham, after the burner caught fire when she left the room.
The woman, who doused the flames with shower water, took the idea from a YouTube video, according to fire crews called out to the house.
West Midlands Fire Service warned others not to follow the video tips..
Steve Harris, group commander for community safety at the service, said: "She told our firefighters that she'd got the idea after watching a YouTube video.
"Two nightlights had been burning under the laundry softener beads.
"A few seconds later the flames could have been much fiercer and she could have been badly hurt.
"We're concerned other people might see the same video. It's definitely a bad idea and should not be copied."
Three-year-old Jack Rowe was being looked after by his older brother at their home in Upavon, Wiltshire, on 9 July - the day of his third birthday.
Salisbury Coroner's Court heard Jack had a "fear of water" and was normally reluctant to swim.
His family have called for pool gates to be made a legal requirement.
The court heard how the toddler's mother, Olivia Rowe, had left him in the care of brother Harry while she took her daughter to a school disco.
But while Harry was in the toilet, it is thought Jack tried to reach into the pool for a toy and fell in.
He was later found "unresponsive" and was taken to Southampton General Hospital, but died the following day.
Mrs Rowe described her son as an adventurous, kind little boy, but said he did not frequently use the pool.
"He never went swimming, to get him in you'd have to really bribe him," she said.
"He had no desire to go in on his own so we didn't think there was a possibility that something like that could happen."
A verdict of accidental death was recorded.
Jayne Hickey and her son Christian were shot when two men knocked on their front door in Gillingham Road, Salford on 12 October.
Police have linked the shooting to armed feuds between gangs.
At the top of Christian's letter to Santa it says "help the police catch the people who hurt me".
Det Ch Supt Russ Jackson said the letter was "heart-wrenching".
"What happened to Christian will stay with him for the rest of his life but what we can do is try to make this up to him by finding those responsible and bringing them to justice.
"These people have absolutely no place in civilised society and we remain as determined as ever to find them," he added.
Christian and his mother have undergone surgery and are both now recovering at home, police said.
It is thought the gunmen were looking for Christian's father. No arrests have been made in the investigation.
Adil Khan, 46, maintained there was a "big story" behind his conviction for a series of child sex offences in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
Khan was jailed for eight years in 2012 alongside eight other men who exploited girls as young as 13.
He is appealing against a decision to strip him of UK citizenship.
Khan was convicted at Liverpool Crown Court of two counts of engaging a child in sexual activity and one of trafficking a girl for sex within the UK.
Now out of jail on licence, he appeared before a First Tier Immigration Tribunal, sitting at Manchester Crown Court.
The court heard he had got one 15-year-old pregnant then passed another girl of the same age on to other men for sex, using violence to coerce her.
But under questioning by Vinesh Mandalia, representing the Home Office, Khan maintained his innocence.
Speaking through a court interpreter, he claimed there was "a big story" behind his conviction.
He added: "We respect the jury but there's so many reasons behind that."
The tribunal heard Khan had previously launched an appeal against his conviction, but it had been rejected by the High Court.
Home Secretary Theresa May's decision to strip him of UK citizenship is the first stage in the deportation process.
Mr Mandalia said deportation would not render Khan stateless as he retains Pakistani nationality.
He described Khan's offending as "repugnant to society" and said it would be "entirely proportionate" for him to "face the consequences".
The court heard Khan had been granted British citizenship after marrying a Pakistani woman who had already been given the right to remain in the UK.
They have a seven-year-old son, and if his appeal fails he can lodge a further appeal against deportation on the grounds of a breach of his human rights, the right to a family life, under Article Eight of the Human Rights Act.
Three judges will decide on Khan's appeal, as well as on appeals by three other gang members, including ringleader Shabir Ahmed.
The appeal made by Abdul Aziz, another member of the Rochdale grooming gang, was adjourned until 23 March.
The tribunal judges have reserved their decision on the appeals of Khan, Shabir Ahmed and another man, Abdul Rauf.
A decision is expected next month.

After losing three early wickets, the 25-year-old helped guide the tourists to 179-4 at the close.
Taylor fell late on for 70, with Nick Compton 63 not out.
"That wasn't ideal, my late wicket, but that happens and we've still got plenty of batting to come, which is really exciting," Taylor told the BBC.
"We're in a nice position. We've got Compo in there who's batting extremely nicely, and we all know how good a nick Ben Stokes is in at the moment, with plenty of batting to come.
"So I think, as a whole, it's been a pretty solid day for ourselves."
Taylor arrived at the crease with England struggling at 49 for three, after captain Alastair Cook fell for a duck, debutant opener Alex Hales made just 10 and Joe Root was trapped lbw for 24.
South Africa paceman Dale Steyn had claimed both openers but steady half-centuries from Taylor and Compton - who both made Test debuts in 2012 before being dropped - drew the sting form the home side's attack.
"We knew what the situation meant and it kind of dictated the way we played," said Taylor, whose partnership with Compton contributed 125 runs for the fourth wicket.
"We kept it really simple and did exactly what we needed to do and focused on our own game rather than the situation as a whole. It was really enjoyable batting with Compo, it was good fun.
"We should be pretty happy with that considering it couldn't have been better bowling conditions for them."
It was Steyn, returning from a spell out with a groin injury, who eventually dismissed Taylor shortly before bad light stopped play.
"It's been frustrating sitting on the sidelines for the last six weeks," said Steyn.
"It was nice to get on the field today. Great to get the first wicket, especially the English captain. It kind of sets the tone for the team.
"We were lucky to get the wicket at the end but we'll take it."
It says the move is designed to make it easier for people to see and control what data is being gathered about them.
Users are still limited to the same choice of settings, but the company says they should find it more "intuitive" to make changes.
One expert said it was a positive development, but suggested some of the language used in the hub's explanatory text represented "spin".
The revamp comes at a time when US tech companied are facing increased scrutiny about how they handle EU citizens' data, which is often stored outside the country in which it is created.
The new hub is called My Account, and it sub-divides the settings into three sections, whose content is presented in what a spokeswoman described as "plain speak":
Google had already offered a "security check-up" tool, but it now adds a second privacy-themed one.
This walks the user through many of the choices contained in the "personal info and privacy" section, providing background information about them.
For example, a user can tell YouTube to stop recording their search history, but they are told that if they let it continue it will make "future searches faster and improve your video recommendations".
The company suggests the whole process should only take about two and a half minutes to complete, and adds that it intends to prompt regular use of the facility via its home page.
"When you trust your personal information with us, you should expect powerful controls that keep it safe and private as well as useful answers to your questions," wrote Google executive Guemmy Kim on the company's blog.
"Today's launches are just the latest in our ongoing efforts to protect you and your information on Google."
He added that links to some sections of the hub would now appear at the top of relevant search results, and that Google had created an FAQ of commonly asked questions about its privacy policies.
One privacy expert at the University of Oxford's Internet Institute had mixed feelings about the development.
"I think it is a good thing that they are pushing forward these privacy settings with more centralised access, and letting them show up in search results," said Dr Joss Wright.
"But looking at how the choices are presented, they could be far more neutral. The tone is very negative, saying, 'You can do this, but why would you ever want to, you'll just be making the world worse for yourself.'
"Everything is given a pro-data-gathering spin. My concern is that it comes across as a sales pitch.
"The entire thing is about convincing people to turn these settings on rather than off, which is only to be expected from Google as that's its business model."
The campaign group Privacy International has also raised concerns.
"We cautiously welcome the step that Google has taken today. At long last, it is being more forthcoming with users about the information Google retains about them," said Dr Richard Tynan.
"However, the statement and tools seem limited only to information associated with an individual's account.
"It remains to be seen whether Google will be transparent with all the people it collects information on, whether signed in as a user or not, about exactly what information Google collects about them, what can be done with it and how we can discover the totality of information held about our daily lives and interests."
They will be held on a "challenging 75km single-lap course".

Sangeeta Jain was held on Tuesday in connection with the attack on 70-year-old Raj Rani Jain in Uttar Pradesh.
The footage is apparently from last week after Ms Jain's husband installed a CCTV camera in their house in Bijnore district to "expose" his wife.
Police said there was a "lot of infighting in the family between the husband, wife and mother-in-law".
Sandeep Jain said his wife "used to attack" his family ever since their marriage seven years ago.
However, the motive of the attack and why it took so long for Mr Jain to report the matter to the police is not clear.
Sangeeta Jain, who has been accused of attempting to murder her mother-in-law, has not yet commented on the footage.
The graphic footage, which has sparked outrage in India, shows a woman slapping and dragging an elderly woman wrapped in a quilt in her bed. At times, it appears, she is trying to strangle the older woman.
"My daughter-in-law slapped me and tried to strangle me. Then she got some stones and hit me with them," Raj Rani Jain, who has been admitted to hospital, told reporters.
Her son said his wife "was always like this", but offered no other details about his wife's behaviour.
Senior police officer Daljit Chowdhury told NDTV news channel that they were investigating the incident.
"From what I have heard there is a lot of infighting in the family. It's a bad state of affairs." | A third man has been charged with violent disorder following the death of Nassem Galleze.

Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said by law warnings in pictures and text would need to cover 85% of the surface of packs - just 15% would be for branding.
The new rules will be in force within months, he said, adding: "Tobacco means nothing else except death."
India has about 110 million smokers and the government says smoking kills nearly a million people a year.
Government orders on new pictorial warnings have faced stiff resistance from tobacco manufacturers and the deadline for implementing them have been postponed a couple of times in the past.
The new rules take effect from 1 April next year and the health ministry said printed warnings will need to be carried on the front and back of cigarette packs, with highly visible pictorial warnings as well as the information that "tobacco causes mouth cancer".
In 2010, two top tobacco manufacturers in India halted production in a row over new health warnings they were required to put on their packaging.
In recent years, India has come up with stringent rules to curb the use of tobacco.
Tobacco-related advertisements are banned and the sale of tobacco products to minors is also an offence.
A countrywide ban on smoking in public places came into effect in 2008 - although correspondents say it is blatantly flouted and poorly enforced.
The giant chambers will launch with a 15-week arts festival from 18 July, as part of the
London 2012 Festival
.
"This is an exciting moment for the Tate," said its director Nicholas Serota.
"The Tanks will be the first spaces dedicated permanently to live art installation and performance in any museum building anywhere in the world."
The BBC's home of 2012: Latest Olympic news, sport, culture, torch relay, video and audio
Tate bosses say the work in the Tanks will reflect a greater public appetite to engage with art and artists.
The Tanks are the first phase of a £215 million extension project that will increase Tate Modern's size by 60% by adding 21,000 square metres of new space.
Serota said that 75% of funding - more than £162 million - had been had been raised and he hoped building work would be complete before December 2016.
The project has received £50 million of government money, £7 million from the Greater London Authority and the remainder from private donors who "wish to remain anonymous".
The South and East Tanks originally contained oil that fuelled the power station - now occupied by Tate Modern - and have been unused since it was decommissioned in 1981.
Each one is some 30 metres across and seven metres high.
The giant subterranean spaces will now host live art and film programmes, which have previously been presented in diverse spaces around Tate Modern.
"We will see many more works which involve the spectator," said Tate Modern director Chris Dircon. "There is an incredible appetite for participation."
The opening programme in the East Tank includes a major new commission by South Korean artist Sung Hwan Kimn "which sees him interweave Korean culture, folklore and history, his own personal experiences and fantasy".
The South Tank will host a rolling series of projects including one by Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, who will rework and perform a version of her early work, 1982's Fase: Four Movements to the music of Steve Reich.
London-born artist Eddie Peake, whose previous work includes a choreographed a football game for nude players, will create a new commission that "explores sexuality and voyeurism".
There will also be a 10-day young people's festival called Undercurrent, and families will be invited to take part in a film-making project that will see their works projected onto the circular walls of the Tanks.
The Transformer Galleries, the raw concrete spaces next to the Tanks, will showcase installations of recent major acquisitions of film and performance. These will include Suzanne Lacy's Crystal Quilt 1987, an exploration of the visibility of older women in the media.
"Over the last 10 years we have been responding to the way art and artists have evolved in their thinking," said Serota at Monday's launch.
"The public wishes to engage with these works in a very different way from simply going into a gallery and observing a work on a wall."
The inaugural festival inside the Tanks runs from 18 July to 28 October 2012. Afterwards, the Tanks will be closed during some periods to enable building work on the new galleries above.
There are plans to shut Bancffosfelen and Llanedi primary schools with children travelling to other schools.
Officials are also considering closing Llanmiloe, Tremoilet and Laugharne schools, and setting up a new one.
Carmarthenshire council education scrutiny committee voted to visit some of the schools before making any recommendations to the executive board.
School governors at Ysgol Bancffosfelen have called on the council to allow an educational trust to be set up by the community to run the school.
Parents at Llanedi say school numbers are expected to increase with new houses proposed for nearby Hendy and Pontarddulais.
At Wednesday's meeting, councillors requested to see a business plan from the governors of Ysgol Bancffosfelen.
Councillors voted to recommend the closure of Llanmiloe, Tremoilet and Laugharne schools.
Any final decisions will be made by the executive board at a later date.
Geraldine Quigley first put pen to paper seven years ago and has now penned her first novel, Music Love Drugs War.
She has been picked, along with 11 other writers, to join a year-long Penguin mentoring programme.
"I want the mentoring scheme to push me to be a better writer," she said.
Ms Quigley has been identified by the Penguin as an "exceptional" writer.
She is now part of their mentoring programme, WriteNow, that aims to find, mentor and publish new writers from communities currently under-represented in the industry.
Each of the 12 writers are paired with a mentoring editor from Penguin Random House with experience in their genre.
Mrs Doherty, who is the sister of bassist Michael Bradley from the Undertones, told BBC Radio Foyle that she has always wanted to write a book.
"I started writing short stories and thought why not a novel," she said.
Music Love Drugs War tells the story of a group of friends in Derry during the Hunger Strike in 1981.
"This story was close to my heart because it is not a traditional story about Northern Ireland," she said.
"This process is a wonderful thing. I am working with a Penguin mentor for the next 12 months to get my book ready for publishing," she said.
Tom Weldon, who is the Chief Executive of Penguin Random House UK, said that books play a unique role in society.
"They spark conversations and bring people together through new ideas and perspectives.
"Our role is to seek out voices that speak to all of society and make sure those books and stories are for everyone."
The planned regulations will apply to businesses in England, Wales and Scotland with more than 250 employees.
Women and equalities minister Nicky Morgan said the move was a "first step" but would "concentrate minds".
The TUC said the measures should include medium-sized businesses and come with fines for non-compliance.
The Chartered Management Institute said the new legislation would "force transparency" on companies.
The plan on bonuses is the first of a number of "equality-boosting measures" to be set out in detail this week and hopefully introduced in the first half of 2016, according to Downing Street.
Other steps include:
Details of exactly what companies must publish and when the scheme will begin will be announced after the results of a consultation, which concluded in September, are released.
More than 10 million workers will be covered by the new transparency rules - although far fewer than that receive bonuses.
The measures are contained in the Equality Act 2010, which was introduced by Labour but blocked from implementation by the Conservatives until now.
Latest figures show that, overall, women in the UK earn 19% less than men.
Up to the age of 40, there is very little difference between the earnings of men and women.
But beyond that age, when more women are likely to have taken time out to raise families and work part-time, there is a significant gap.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said publishing salary and bonus information was a "start" - but employers needed to look at why women were still being paid less than men and "do something meaningful about it".
Ms Morgan said the government was "going further than ever before to ensure true gender equality in the workplace".
She also told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme: "When companies see the gender pay gap in their own company, of their employees, including bonuses, that does start to change behaviours; it [starts] the conversations in the company."
Chartered Management Institute chief executive Ann Francke said bonus gaps were "one of the biggest drivers" of gender pay discrepancy, particularly at senior levels.
"Bonuses are also where gender bias can creep in easily as they are amongst the least transparent forms of pay," she said.
"There's a tendency to reward those in our own image or to think that because men may be the 'main breadwinners' they deserve higher bonuses.
"And men often negotiate harder or trumpet their achievements more readily."
She told BBC Radio 5 Live the new legislation would mean many companies were going to say, "I didn't know we had a problem but we do."
In July, Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to end the gender pay gap within a generation, but Labour called for "action not words" on equality.
Shadow women and equalities minister Kate Green said the gender pay gap was nearly 20% more than the European average.
"British women don't need warm words - we need guaranteed rights at work, properly enforced," she said.
CBI director for employment and skills Neil Carberry said eradicating the gender pay gap was an important goal, but reporting must be "relevant to each company rather than a box-ticking exercise".
There are now several companies here in the US promising that their algorithms can get more bang for your investment buck at a fraction of the price charged by traditional investment managers.
Managing your portfolio, diversifying your investments and handling your tax liabilities can all be done automatically 24/7.
And machines aren't swayed by fear and greed, the primary emotions that often drive very poor investment decisions. They can crunch terabytes of data and take a global, long-term view, spreading your investments across geographies and asset classes, from bonds to equities, index funds to property.
Just don't call it "robo-investing", says Adam Nash, chief executive of Wealthfront, one of the leading companies in the field, managing more than $1.8bn (£1.2bn) of client assets.
"I've never actually heard a young person refer to robo-investing since I've been here." He joined Wealthfront in 2013.
"It seems to be uniformly a term used by older financial advisers to make fun of the new-fangled tech that these kids are using. Expedia is not a robo-travel agent; I don't buy movie tickets on my robot phone."
He suggests "automated investment service" instead. As a former employee of eBay, Apple and LinkedIn, who has a computer science degree from Stanford and a business degree from Harvard, he should know.
In fact, many of the people running the companies that are igniting this new generation of personal investing combine advanced software engineering skills with strong business acumen.
Inevitably, some are likely to end up as household names and on billionaire lists in the not-too-distant future if they can achieve their ambition of expanding investment to the masses.
Jon Stein, the founder and chief executive of Betterment, is another good example. Educated at Columbia Business School and Harvard, he went on to write the initial code for Betterment's website.
"We do everything from end to end," he says. "We do your statements and tax integration; we do all the ACH [Automated Clearing House] transactions; we do the accounting and record keeping.
"We are able to make that process much more efficient and optimised around trading personalised portfolios."
Betterment says 75% of its clients are under 50. At Wealthfront 60% are under 35. So far, this has mostly been a young person's game.
Perhaps that's not surprising, says Mr Nash, considering that the younger generations are much more aware of hidden fees, having seen phone, cable, airline and brokerage companies adopting such "revenue optimisation" models.
Quite simply, many customers regard these hidden fees as stealing, he says.
"Young people hate the idea of... eight pages of fees that you don't find out about until you are already in the system.
"At Wealthfront we have literally two price points. Under $10,000 is free with no commissions at all, and over $10,000 we charge one quarter of one per cent. It's not like the millionaires are getting a better deal."
The democratisation of high-quality investment performance is not necessarily new.
Low-fee index tracker funds attempt to replicate the performance of particular stock market indexes by copying in full, or in part, the constituent stocks making up that index. If the constituents of the index change, so will your tracker fund - automatically.
These tracker funds have produced better returns than almost any human-run fund, net of fees. And that's been proven over decades.
The Vanguard Group and its founder John Bogle have been shouting about their not-so-secret sauce for decades.
Vanguard spokeswoman Kate Henderson says the general advice for any kind of investment methodology, no matter how old or new, is the same.
"You need to do your homework no matter if you're working with an adviser face to face or a robo-adviser," she says.
"Check credentials and references, look at the financial disclosures. Understand where the fees are coming from. Ask the right questions. How is the adviser compensated?"
Vanguard says it has no plans to develop its own fully automated investment platform because its clients are generally older and have more complex portfolios. Such seasoned investors often need a helping human hand when retirement is looming.
But to fend off competition from new generation investment companies it introduced Personal Advisor Services in 2013, which offers low-fee advice and tries to mimic what "robo-investors" do.
Not that Vanguard has any reason to worry.
Many of the new automated services buy Vanguard ETF [Exchange Traded Fund] Index products as a core investment within their own portfolios. So Vanguard still dominates the industry, alongside the likes of Fidelity and Schwab.
But Wealthfront chief Adam Nash points out there is a huge difference between knowing what you're supposed to do and actually doing it consistently.
Only those with the ability, time and willingness to supervise their investments actively would find Wealthfront redundant, which is a tiny percentage of everyday investors, he believes.
So he has no qualms about being a relative newcomer to the industry.
"You are talking about 90 million millennials [people coming of age at the turn of the 21st Century] in America. Those businesses with a gold standard are not as shiny as they used to be after the [2008] financial crises.
"I don't think you'll find any survey of millennials that puts the brand of any brokerage or bank particularly high these days. Most of the brands that took decades or even centuries to build are exceptionally tarnished with young people. We are at a unique moment."
When Jon Stein started Betterment it was out of sheer frustration with his existing brokerage firms who made it complicated to sign up and difficult to navigate through their services.
These were financial businesses first and web entities second, he argues. That's why Betterment put a lot of effort into making its website simple to use.
"We have optimised that interface and we know that it helps people stay the course," says Mr Stein.
"They make better decisions. For example, we launched a new feature called Tax Impact Preview, which tells you what your taxes will be before you make a transaction. We found that when people see this, 62% of them don't go through with the transaction."
That suggests that across the sector an awful lot of people are transacting without knowing the full implications of their choices.
But the strength of the automated investment idea is also its biggest potential weakness.
Computers and algorithms can keep you on track as long as they know the track you are on. Deviate from it in any way - a divorce, a new baby - without telling the computer and suddenly your money may be going in a different direction to you.
But for an industry still in its infancy the concept is attracting a lot of attention from venture capitalists and consumers.
Eventually every financial transaction we make is likely to be monitored in real time with instant advice available at every moment.
A frightening or wonderful thought?
Mr López has been moved to house arrest after more than three years in jail.
He left a prison near Caracas and was reunited with his family on Saturday.
Mr López was serving a 14-year sentence for inciting violence during anti-government protests in 2014, a charge he has always denied. The Supreme Court said he was released on health grounds.
Mr Maduro said he "respected" and "supported" the Supreme Court's decision but called for "a message of peace and rectification" in the country.
Hours after being freed, Mr López urged supporters to continue protesting in the streets against Mr Maduro.
Venezuela's opposition and international powers have long pressed for his freedom. The head of the Organisation of American States regional bloc, Luis Almagro, said the court's decision offered an opportunity for national reconciliation.
Henrique Capriles, a former opposition presidential candidate, stressed "he must be given his full liberty together with all political prisoners", Reuters reported.
Giving a glimpse of his son's life behind bars, Mr López's father told Spanish radio "a few days ago they had punished him with solitary confinement without light or water for three days".
He said his son was now wearing an electronic tag so that the authorities could keep abreast of his movements.
His wife had complained that she had not been allowed to see him for more than a month, but on Friday she tweeted she had been allowed an hour-long meeting.
In May, a government lawmaker published a video of Mr López in his cell following rumours that he had been poisoned and taken to hospital.
In the video, Mr López - a Harvard-educated former mayor who has been prevented by the government from standing for public office - said he was well and did not know why he was being asked to prove he was still alive.
Venezuela has been experiencing a wave of anti-government protests similar to those over which Mr López was jailed.
The opposition is calling for early elections and the release of opposition politicians jailed in recent years, saying the socialist governments of President Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chávez, have mismanaged the economy since coming to power in 1999.
North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust was one of 11 put into special measures in 2013 after a review found higher-than-expected mortality rates.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said while improvements were being made, serious staffing issues remained.
The trust said it was working hard to tackle "recognised" issues.
Inspectors visited the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and the midwifery-led birthing service at Penrith Community Hospital between 31 March and 2 April.
They found that, despite efforts to recruit more senior doctors, the trust was still short of 50 consultants, with the majority of vacant posts at the West Cumberland Hospital.
The report concluded: "Despite efforts by the trust to improve the numbers of medical consultants employed, there were numerous vacant consultant posts.
"Vacancies were covered by locum doctors in some areas, however the high vacancy rate was having an adverse effect on the timeliness of treatment for patients and meant support for junior doctors was not robust or effective."
There was also a shortage of nurses, especially on medical wards, inspectors found.
The report described some elements of medical care at the West Cumberland Hospital as "inadequate", adding that improvements were required in several other areas.
While inspectors acknowledged that overall progress had been made since a similar visit in 2014, they said the trust would remain in special measures.
Trust chief executive Ann Farrar said: "The CQC has clearly recognised the deep-rooted problems faced by our hospitals, in particular the ongoing fragility of services at West Cumberland, which require NHS system-wide solutions and a clear clinical strategy to be agreed with urgency."
NHS England added: "We are working with partners to address the challenges highlighted in the CQC report to ensure patients receive safe, high-quality hospital services."
The acquisition of Arden Asset Management will boost its hedge fund unit's assets from $2bn to $11bn.
The deal follows Aberdeen's acquisition in May of US private equity firm Flag Capital Management.
The two deals combined will take assets on Aberdeen's alternatives platform to more than $30bn.
The value of the Arden acquisition was not disclosed.
The Arden purchase is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to approval by regulators, trustees and shareholders of certain mutual funds.
Aberdeen chief executive Martin Gilbert said: "Institutional investors are looking to hedge fund solutions to offer risk/return profiles not available via mainstream strategies and traditional asset classes.
"The acquisition of Arden emphasises further Aberdeen's commitment to diversifying its overall business and to growing its alternatives platform."
Here are some of the voices from Greece on how daily lives have been affected by country's money worries.
"I'm working 12 hours a day" - Theodoros Tzokas, Cafe owner
There seems to be a huge cloud of insecurity hanging over my head every day. My business which took me ages to build keeps suffering because I am losing customers every day. My loyal customers' behaviours keep changing on a daily basis because of this crisis.
I had to let all my good employees go, because I can't keep them anymore. I am working over 12 hours a day because I have no employees any more to help me out. It's really tough but there isn't much I can do.
I am not sure how long I can keep going like this. The only good thing is that I don't have to queue up for cash like most people because I have been putting money away at home for a long time. I knew we were going to have these crises so I made the decision not to save in the bank.
"There's simply no cash left" - Ilia Iatrou, former English teacher
Greece should continue to say no to the EU demands because the country can't take any more of the ongoing austerity measures. Frankly, the situation is unbearable over here.
My mother-in-law queued up for over an hour at the cash point just to be able to withdraw a small amount of money. I haven't tried to go to the cash machine myself, as we don't have much money left. There's simply no cash left in the system.
Some of us have been forced to now resort to a sort of barter system among ourselves because we have no money left. We just can't take any more of this, so we have to keep saying no to the EU masters. The EU can't afford to let us fail so we should continue to say no and they will blink and give us a better deal.
"This can't carry on" - Evi Stamou, Orthodontist in Athens
I run my own practice in Athens and am finding it hard to pay my employees. There is no cash in the system at the moment. My customers can't pay me so this is having an unfair knock on effect on my employees' pay.
Luckily, I took some money out a while back because I knew we would have this problem. The money is keeping me afloat at the moment but it's running out.
I queued at several cash points - which all ran out of cash - but eventually I managed to get money out from one of them. This can't carry on and I think we need a deal. Most people want out of the euro but I think it's a bad idea.
"We lost half of our employees" - Susan Benekos, British woman living in Greece for 28 years
My family business has suffered tremendously and we lost half of our employees, because of the ongoing crisis. Recently, I couldn't take cash out from the bank.
The situation is dire and we are running out of money. We went to the cash point yesterday but couldn't get anything. The problem is many businesses are now accepting only cash and no cards so it's really hard to do anything.
This crisis is really destroying our lives. I have friends who have had to go live with their parents because they can't afford to pay their rent.
"Everyone is really tense" - Panos Spiropoulos and Katerina Karneris, run a coffee distribution business in Greece
The economy was beginning to pick up again late 2014 but now we seem to have gone backwards after the elections. The uncertainty is damaging our business. We don't know how we are going to pay our suppliers in the coming month since our customers are feeling the pinch from the crisis.
Frankly we have survived the crisis so far because we have been very diligent and put lots of money away. Just like most people we are all fearful that we will lose our money if Greece crashes out of the euro.
The laid back atmosphere in the country has also taken a hit making it difficult to express your political point of view in public without some sort of backlash. Everyone is really tense here making it hard to enjoy this beautiful country.

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

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

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

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

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

Hayley Batley, of St Giles Primary, was given a conditional discharge in November 2014 after admitting selling and offering trademarked goods.
An Education Workforce Council at Ewloe, Flintshire, heard she did not realise what she was doing was wrong.
The reprimand will remain on her record for two years.
The panel heard on Thursday how Batley was warned by the BBC in June 2013 that she was breaching trademark laws by making and selling her own Doctor Who items.
She asked the corporation for clarification, but before it responded, she relisted the items for sale.
Further investigations found she was offering more than 1,600 trademarked items for sale, including goods connected to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and James Bond.
Setting out the case, Rhiannon Dale told the education panel that Ms Batley told trading standards officers she would not have sold the items if she knew it was wrong.
She told them: "I'm a teacher. Teachers don't do this. You're not supposed to get bloody arrested."
Ms Batley was given a 12-month sentence at Caernarfon Crown Court in November 2014 after pleading guilty to selling and offering trademarked goods.
She was given a final written warning at a disciplinary hearing at her school following her conviction as it was felt her actions were prejudicial to the school's name.
John Till, representing Ms Batley, said: "She really didn't think she was doing anything wrong."
He said her comments to trading standards officers showed her "spontaneous reaction" and "her instinctive appreciation of what should be expected of a teacher".
Hearing chairman Steve Powell said Ms Batley's conduct was "serious and unacceptable and must not happen again". | India says tobacco firms will soon have to reserve almost all the space on cigarette packs for health warnings.

Gross mortgage lending totalled £17.8bn in September, down 1% on the previous month, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said.
However, this was 10% higher than a year earlier.
The CML said any concerns that the Bank of England had about a potential housing market bubble were "abating".
It said that the surge in activity in London had slowed down.
"Recent indicators and policy actions corroborate our view of a gentle easing in market conditions. There is growing evidence that mortgage lending activity, and the housing market, are sitting on a plateau," said the CML's chief economist, Bob Pannell.
Gross mortgage lending in the third quarter of the year totalled an estimated £55.5bn, the CML said. This was 8% up on the previous quarter and a 13% increase on the same period a year earlier.
The figures come as the Bank of England's own Trends in Lending report said that net lending by mortgage lenders was broadly unchanged in the third quarter of the year compared with the previous three months.
Despite the steady levels of lending, mortgage providers have been competing over rates. Commentators suggest this has picked up after new regulatory rules introduced in April have now bedded in.
"Lenders who are behind target for the year as a result of the delays caused by the mortgage market review are cutting their fixed rates in order to catch up before the end of December," said Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients.
"We expect this to continue as they look to develop a strong pipeline for next year."
Aaron Strutt, of mortgage broker Trinity Financial, said: "Many of the banks and building societies are not lending as much money as they would like and they are lowering their rates to tempt in more customers.
"Back in 2009 there was real surprise when the lenders started to offer sub-2% mortgages. Many of the lenders [now] have the ability to offer even cheaper rates.
"The lenders love topping the best-buy tables and often undercut each other to make sure they are mentioned."
The four-time world champion, back up to third in the world rankings, lost the first frame but sealed victory with breaks of 64 and 69.
But world number two Stuart Bingham made a shock early exit, losing 4-3 to world number 45 Mark Joyce.
Welshmen Mark Williams and Matthew Stevens and Hong Kong's Marco Fu were other first-round winners.
World number four Judd Trump eased through without dropping a frame against Zhang Yong but Northern Ireland's Mark Allen had to battle back from 3-0 down to avoid an upset from Christopher Keogan.
Anthony McGill enjoyed a good start in his home city, making four 50-plus breaks in his 4-1 victory against John Astley.
Fellow Scot Rhys Clark, ranked 76 in the world, also progressed with a 4-3 win over compatriot Eden Sharav.
There was further Scottish success as Scott Donaldson swept aside Germany's Itaro Santos 4-0 to set up a meeting with Higgins in the second round.
Higgins, seeking a 29th ranking title to move into second place on his own in the overall list behind Stephen Hendry's record of 36, was pleased to overcome his friend McManus.
"Alan has beaten me the last couple of times so I am very pleased to come through," he said. "I feel as if I am into the tournament now and hopefully I can go far.
"I have won two tournaments in Scotland before, I can still remember them and I would love to win this one."
The latest event in the Home Nations Series, the tournament is the first World Snooker ranking event held in Scotland since the World Open in 2010, won by Neil Robertson.
The event pitched university teams from Glasgow and Edinburgh against each other.
Eight races took place, including beginners, alumni and senior men and women.
The first team men's and women's races were won by Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively.
But the University of Edinburgh came out as overall victors of the event, having won more points over the eight races.
The Clyde has hosted the race for 139 years - a length of time only predated by the Oxford and Cambridge boat race and the Yale-Harvard Regatta.
Calum Irvine, who captained the winning University of Edinburgh's men's team, said: "The Scottish boat race is a real hidden gem in Scotland's sporting calendar and the crowds are getting bigger and bigger each year.
"It's great to see so many new faces down at this year's race to make it the best yet.
"It was a hard fought race with Glasgow and a few blade clashes at the start which shows just how tough it was. It was the best Glasgow team we've come up against, a truly fantastic race."
Women's team winning captain, Claire Aitken of Glasgow, said: "We're absolutely ecstatic to have won. This year's was the best yet and the amazing atmosphere really helps to spur the crews on.
"The Edinburgh crew were extremely difficult to beat and the conditions were really choppy as we knew it would be, but we kept calm and it's great to come out on top."
Everton have yet to match Swansea's £50m valuation for the 27-year-old Iceland international.
Clement confirmed Sigurdsson would not be included for their opening game of the Premier League season against Southampton on Saturday.
"We're at a critical stage and hope it's going to be resolved as soon as possible," said Clement.
"They [the club's owners] understand the pros and cons of doing it earlier rather than later.
"I know for sure they have the best interest of the club in mind.
"Clearly with each day goes by you get a little bit more frustrated because you don't know if you're going to have the player or if not, will you be able to get in the targets you want."
Clement added that a second club is also interested in signing the player who has three years remaining on his Swansea contract.
The Swans had previously turned down a £40m offer for Sigurdsson from Leicester City.
"There is another club and there's been other clubs as well and that's normal," said Clement.
"The situation is our club have a valuation and another club have a valuation and the two clubs have not met.
"But the objective and aim is that at some point they will meet.
"The way it's going, more than likely there has to be a compromise on both sides.
"Normally when deals are done, it's a win-win situation for both sides."
Clement backed the stance of the American owners in holding out for their valuation and believes the £50m figure is crucial in the quest for replacements.
"You have to remember we are Swansea City, we are not a top four club that has massive revenue in relation to what those top clubs are getting," said Clement.
"We have to be sensible with the economics of it.
"It also makes a point for the future as well. We don't want to sell our best players and if we are going to sell them, we have to maximise our revenue for them so we can build for the future."
Clement says the club have "researched" potential replacements for Sigurdsson and insists his squad are ready for the Premier League campaign.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman remains optimistic about signing Sigurdsson.
"It's still close. That has not changed," Koeman said ahead of Everton's league opener against Stoke.
"I heard some rumours that talks had broken down but still we are in negotiations with Swansea.
"I heard the comments of Paul Clement and, of course, everybody would like to have news.
"That is better for us, better for them, but everybody knows the window is difficult.
"It is always a game between the buying club and the selling club, but we are close and let's hope we get the agreement as soon as possible.
"I spoke about 'soon' last weekend. Let's wait. We are not in a hurry, but finally we hope to do the deal."
The Northern Ireland Under-21 international made 38 appearances on loan at Alloa last season, scoring three goals.

In the capital, Beijing, at the weekend, air pollution soared past levels considered hazardous by the World Health Organization.
The official People's Daily said the smog was a "suffocating siege" which had to be urgently addressed.
The state-run China Daily said the country had to learn to balance development with quality of life.
Meanwhile, the tabloid Global Times said China was risking serious long-term environmental damage. Smog also dominated social media sites.
Over the week, a dense smog had been gathering over Beijing and some 30 other cities in northern and eastern China, with visibility down to 100m in some places.
Official Beijing city readings on Saturday suggested pollution levels of over 400. An unofficial reading from a monitor at the US embassy recorded levels of over 800.
WHO guidelines say average concentrations of the tiniest pollution particles - called PM2.5 - should be no more than 25 microgrammes per cubic metre. Air is unhealthy above 100 microgrammes and at 300, all children and elderly people should remain indoors.
By Celia HattonBBC News, Beijing
China's seven o'clock national news bulletin usually begins with reports of the country's leaders, shown attending meetings at long conference tables or inspecting successful government projects. In a departure from the norm, most of the broadcasts this weekend were devoted to the heavy blanket of smog covering Beijing and its surrounding provinces.
China's state media has been unusually eager to discuss the city's hazardous levels of pollution. Much of the coverage is devoted to health advisories for those affected by the smog. City newspapers have printed diagrams illustrating the correct way to position a face mask.
Many of the city's vocal internet users and state-run media outlets have issued calls for Beijing to reduce the number of vehicles on the city's roads and to limit the capital's reliance on coal-fired power plants.
Experts predict that it could take years to engineer a co-ordinated response to the smog, since much of the pollution in Beijing has blown in from heavy industry in provinces surrounding the capital.
Once inhaled, the tiny particles can make people more vulnerable to respiratory infections, as well as leading to increased mortality from lung cancer and heart disease.
The Xinhua state news agency said there had been a sharp rise in people seeking treatment at the hospitals in the capital for respiratory problems.
The mother of one eight-month-old baby told the BBC her child had suffered from lung problems for months and that they recently worsened after an outing. Ms Li said she had resorted to keeping a basin of water in the house in the hope it might act as an air purifier.
"It would be helpful if the city has less cars and the city could [place] curbs on car emissions," Ms Li said.
On Monday, Beijing authorities said levels had dropped to around 350, but school children were being kept indoors and media reports were warning the public to do the same and to avoid strenuous activity.
The build up of pollution has been put down to a lack of wind and a cold spell, rather than a surge in production of pollutants. But an editorial in the China Daily said there was no reason "for us to not reflect on what we've contributed to the smoggy days".
It blamed the pollution on poor urban planning and a rapid increase in car ownership, saying residents had to cut down their use of private cars.
"In the middle of a rapid urbanisation process, it is urgent for China to think about how such a process can press forward without compromising the quality of urban life with an increasingly worse living environment," said the editorial.
"The air quality in big cities could have been better had more attention been paid to the density of the high rises, had more trees been planted in proportion to the number of residential areas, and had the number of cars been strictly controlled. These are the lessons China should learn for its further urbanization."
The People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party, ran a front page editorial demanding: "Let us clearly view managing environmental pollution with a sense of urgency."
The tabloid Global Times said measures taken so far to address pollution in China, which it called the "biggest construction site in the world", had failed to alleviate the problem.
It accused the government of dealing with environmental problems in too low-key a way, and called on it to "publish truthful environmental data to the public" to allowed them to help solve the problem.
"The public should understand the importance of development as well as the critical need to safeguard the bottom line of the environmental pollution," it said.
Social media was also dominated by comments on the pollution, with users of the Twitter-like Weibo site saying the government should do more to prevent pollution affecting their lives.
Members of the Glentoran Board are set to meet with the H&W Welders boss as early as Monday night to discuss the vacancy at the East Belfast club.
Smyth does not currently possess the necessary Uefa Pro Licence but an arrangement could be put in place until he achieves the coaching requirement.
Patterson was sacked on Saturday after watching his side beat Carrick Rangers.
Among the other contenders for the position are Pat McGibbon, who was edged out by Patterson for the job in 2012.
The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland defender holds a Uefa Pro Licence and played for the Glens for two seasons, winning an Irish League title medal in 2005.
The 42-year-old was manager of Newry City for 16 months before stepping down from the post in July 2012.
McGibbon was appointed first-team coach by Dungannon Swifts three months later.
He was interviewed for the Glentoran manager's job before Patterson was appointed but the ex-Cliftonville manager got the nod to take over from Scott Young.
Another of the club's former defenders, Paul Leeman, has also been linked with the job, but, like Smyth, he does not currently possess the requisite licence.
Smyth's Welders knocked Glentoran out of the County Antrim Shield after a penalty shootout last month.
The vote is seen as especially important for President Park Geun-hye, whose time in office has been hampered by legislative gridlock.
Saenuri hopes to win the three-fifths of seats needed before bills can be introduced and passed by parliament.
The party currently holds only a slim majority in the chamber.
Voters are casting ballots at nearly 14,000 polling stations to elect 253 of 300 lawmakers. The remaining 47 proportional representation seats are allocated to parties according to the numbers of votes they receive overall.
President Park's administration will gain significant momentum if the governing party gains a majority of seats, The Korea Times reported, enabling it to push through labour and economic reforms before her term in office expires in about 20 months' time.
With a divided opposition in South Korea, the ruling centre-right grouping is expected to continue in power. But the election will indicate the general feeling about the government as a whole.
The economy has dominated pre-election arguments, particularly plans to make it easier for employers to sack employees.
Surprisingly perhaps, to outsiders, North Korea has not been a particularly prominent issue.
The opposition has also accused the government of being heavy-handed by clamping down on dissent and protest.
Youth unemployment rose to 12.5% in February, much higher than the South Korean average rate of nearly 5%. At the same time all the main parties have promised measures to reduce poverty among the elderly.
There is speculation in the South Korean media that the polls could end the country's two-party system, as new parties challenge Saenuri and the main opposition Minju party, which in February set what appeared to be a new world record for a combined filibuster after speaking for 192 hours.
Voter turnout is estimated to be higher than in previous general elections, local pollsters told The Korea Times.
Butland, 22, wrote on Twitter: "I've learnt a lot from major tournaments, experiences I'll never forget. I'd love for you to experience the same!"
England internationals Lucy Bronze, Jade Moore, Jo Potter and Fran Kirby have also supported the appeal, along with Wales international Jess Fishlock.
The team's campaign will cost £20,000.
An online appeal aiming to raise half that amount reached its target with Butland's gift.
With donations still being accepted, the team hope the appeal will cover the entire cost of the trip.
A promotional video featuring former athletes Jonathan Edwards and Andy Turner, as well as a host of big names from women's football, helped start the appeal.
Butland, capped three times by England, also works as an ambassador for the Kick It Out anti-discrimination campaign.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) told a Delhi court that Sajjan Kumar incited crowds to kill Sikhs.
More than 3,000 Sikhs were killed in 1984 after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Mr Kumar and five others on trial with him have denied all the charges.
In his final arguments, CBI prosecutor RS Cheema told the court that the riots which targeted a particular community were "backed by both the Congress government and police".
"There was a conspiracy of terrifying proportion with the complicity of police and patronage of local MP Sajjan Kumar," the prosecutor told Judge JR Aryan, who will eventually pass judgement in the case.
Mr Cheema said that witnesses at the scene heard Sajjan Kumar tell a crowd that "not a single Sikh should survive".
Sajjan Kumar and five others on trial with him deny charges of being involved in the killing of six people at Delhi Cantonment - or military area - during riots that were sparked by the killing of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
The trial began after a government inquiry found "credible evidence" that some Congress party leaders incited crowds to attack Sikhs during the riots and that they were not spontaneous.
Sub-postmasters say computer software was responsible for the apparent loss of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Jo Hamilton, who pleaded guilty to false accounting, said the Post Office "never attempted" to find the money.
About 140 MPs have withdrawn support for a Post Office mediation scheme.
The UK's 11,500 sub-postmasters are not directly employed by the Post Office.
For several years, a vocal minority of sub-postmasters say that they have been made scapegoats for what many claim is a faulty IT system, which created thousands of pounds worth of shortfalls where none existed.
Sub-postmasters, who run smaller post offices, are forced to make up any shortfalls from their own pockets.
Some have been bankrupted, others have lost their homes, and a few have gone to jail.
But the Post Office said there was no evidence of a systemic issue with its software.
Jo Hamilton, who used to run a sub-post office from her village shop in South Warnborough, Hampshire, pleaded guilty to false accounting following a discrepancy of £2,000 in December 2003.
"They decided to take my wages for the next 10 months to pay it back because, under the terms of my contract, you have to make it good if you're down.
"I had to remortgage the house and repay the money. Originally, I was charged with stealing. They said if I repaid and pleaded guilty to 14 counts of false accounting, they would drop the theft, so the decision was made - I'd be less likely to go to prison for false accounting than theft.
"If I didn't plead guilty, they would have charged me for theft. I couldn't prove I didn't take anything, they couldn't prove I did and at the time they told me I was the only person that had ever had problems with [the IT system] Horizon.
"I didn't know what the hell was going on. They never made any attempt to investigate the money or where it had gone.
"I would love to see all of our names cleared and some of us have our money back."
In 2013, a mediation scheme was set up by Post Office Ltd after independent investigators discovered defects with the Horizon accounting system used in its branches.
So far, 144 MPs say they have been contacted by sub-postmasters in their constituency.
The MP leading them, James Arbuthnot, sent a letter on Tuesday to Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells, accusing the organisation of rejecting 90% of applications for mediation.
"The scheme was set up to help our constituents seek redress and to maintain the Post Office's good reputation," he said. "It is doing neither.
"It has ended up mired in legal wrangling, with the Post Office objecting to most of the cases even going into the mediation that the scheme was designed to provide."
Another MP, Mike Wood, said: "Either the Post Office is awash with criminals who open sub Post Offices for personal gain, or something has gone terribly wrong.
"MPs are inclined to believe the latter and we are all shocked that the Post Office seems not to want to get to the bottom of all this."
But a Post Office spokesperson said the letter from MPs was "regrettable and surprising".
"We take these issues very seriously and have done since setting up a review more than two years ago.
"We are paying for the small number of postmasters who have raised issues to get independent advice and have opened up a mediation scheme."
Uber, which has faced criticism over safety issues, began operating in the city on Friday.
Glasgow City Council granted the firm a one-year licence on condition that all drivers and vehicles are appropriately licensed.
It comes on the day a High Court judge in London ruled that the controversial minicab-hailing app is legal.
Transport for London (TfL) sought clarification as to whether or not the smartphone app breaks the law by operating in the same way as meters used by more strictly regulated black cabs to calculate fares.
Authorities in Europe have criticised Uber over safety issues but the California-based firm insists its drivers are safe and reliable and required to pass enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
Uber's UK head, Max Lines, said: "We're a private hire operator and we only use private hire drivers and private hire vehicles so all the drivers are going to be background checked.
"From a customer perspective, customers love it and drivers love it, we've seen huge growth. What we're bringing to them is a system that is very safe and very efficient and what we see is drivers actually earning good money because the system means that they are very well utilised."
Mr Lines acknowledged that the system had proved controversial for some city-based taxi firms.
He said: "We're coming into markets that maybe haven't seen innovation for quite a long time and that to me is the disruption.
"What we're trying to do is bring in new technologies, new ways of doing things and I think because of that it can be seen as disruption. But what we're trying to do is make it easier and better for both riders and drivers to get around."
Passengers are required to download the app and create a rider account before they can request a car. Once the taxi is booked, the driver's photo, name and car registration will appear on the app, along with real-time information about the car's location. Passengers are then notified when the car arrives.
Glasgow has joined London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Merseyside and Sheffield in offering the service.
Ex-Bolton striker Dean Holdsworth, who leads the group, will join the board of directors while former owner Eddie Davies will become honorary president.
A winding-up petition against Bolton over an unpaid tax bill was adjourned at the High Court on Monday to give the group more time to complete the deal.
Holdsworth said that the bill had now been paid in full.
Bolton who are currently bottom of the Championship, were £172.9m in debt but but it's believed the majority has been written off with Davies not wishing to claim back the money owed to him.
Sports Shield and Inner Circle, owned by Ken Anderson, have taken control of Davies' 94.5% controlling share following ratification by the Football League. Anderson will also become a director of the club.
In January, the court heard that the club owed £2.2m to HM Revenue & Customs, and they are next due in court on 21 March.
Bolton, who are also under a transfer embargo for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations, have sold their training ground and stadium car park to raise funds in recent months.
Neil Lennon's side are 10 points adrift of safety with 10 matches remaining.
Dean Holdsworth told BBC Radio Manchester: "It has been an incredible journey, a big battle, and we have been minutes away from not achieving what we wanted so to finally get the paperwork done and the acquisition complete is fantastic.
"I wouldn't have anticipated six months of what we have been through but I now want to look forward because it has been a huge achievement for not only me but also the club.
"I am proud and honoured to be a part of a new history. This club is steeped in history and to lose it would have been unimaginable.
"Ken Anderson will take over as chairman, he is a football man, very knowledgeable and experienced.
"My life has always been hands on with football and I will have an oversight with recruitment and the academy.
"Neil Lennon is still the manager, we know he has had a tough ride, it's unfair to talk about anybody's future today."
Eddie Davies: "It has been an honour to have initially been on the board of directors and then majority shareholder of the club I have supported all of my life.
"From 11 years in the top flight and seeing us topple some of the Premier League's greatest teams down the years, to two successful Uefa Cup campaigns, my memories will last a lifetime.
"Together we have had some great experiences and we should embrace our wonderful history.
"Recently, we have gone through what has been a challenging period both on and off the field, but we now hope that we can once again move our great football club forward.
"I of course wish Dean Holdsworth, Ken Anderson and the Sports Shield consortium all the very best and thank the supporters for their loyalty and continued backing of the club."
The national park was one of 33 sites around the world to be discussed by the Unesco committee in Krakow, Poland.
The committee praised the area's beauty, farming and the inspiration it had provided to artists and writers.
It is the 31st place in the UK and overseas territories to be put on the Unesco World Heritage List.
The committee suggested the impact of tourism be monitored and requested improvements in conservation efforts.
The delegates heard the 885 sq-mile (2,292 sq km) Lake District had been trying to obtain the Unesco status since 1986.
Lord Clark of Windermere, chairman of the Lake District National Park Partnership which put together the bid, described the decision as "momentous".

"A great many people have come together to make this happen and we believe the decision will have long and lasting benefits for the spectacular Lake District landscape, the visitors we welcome every year and for the people who call the National Park their home," he added.
Steve Ratcliffe, director of sustainable development at the Lake District National Park, said the application had been a "long time in the making" and he was "incredibly proud" of the landscape which has been shaped by nature, farming and industry.
He told the committee: "The Lake District now becomes an international and global property and we look forward to working with you and our communities to make sure this site inspires future generations around the world."
About 18 million people visit the Lake District each year, spending a total of £1.2bn and providing about 18,000 jobs.
It is home to England's largest natural lake - Windermere - and highest mountain - Scafell Pike.
Nigel Wilkinson, managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises, said he was hopeful the Unesco status would put the Lakes on an international level.
"What we really hope is it will act as an economic driver and will grow the value, not the volume, of tourism by giving people more... reasons to make day visits and sustained visits."
Harriet Fraser, a writer and patron of Friends of the Lake District, said: "It's the most beautiful district but it has a very deep culture which is largely hill farming but also conservation."
Other UK Unesco sites include Stonehenge, Durham Castle and Cathedral, and the city of Bath.
Efficiency has always been a strange critique given that the fuel driving turbines - wind - is free. And while electricity generated from wind may currently be more expensive than that from some fossil fuels, costs are coming down fast.
Eyesores? That is simply a matter of opinion.
But a new wave of turbine technologies is looking to end the debate once and for all, by making wind power cheaper, more flexible and, in many cases, less intrusive on pristine countryside.
Some won't make it to market, but those that do could revolutionise wind power.
One of the simplest ideas being developed is the wind lens. Inspired by "experience and a eureka moment", Prof Yuji Ohya from Japan's Kyushu University is leading a team designing a conical structure placed round the turbine blades to generate low pressure and accelerate wind speed.
Prof Ohya says the wind lens turbine develops two to three times the power output of its traditional counterpart, while reducing noise substantially - potentially removing one obstacle to more widespread use in populated areas.
Compact turbines producing 1kW-3kW are at the "final stage for global distribution", says the Prof, while two larger 100kW test turbines have been running since 2011. The next stage is to build a 300kW version.
But not everyone is convinced. Dr Gordon Edge at Renewable UK questions the amount of additional material needed for both the lens and the structure to support it. Besides, he says, "this idea has been around before and didn't make the grade".
A more radical idea is being trialled by US company SheerWind.
While researching how to reduce noise and vibrations from traditional turbines for the US Department of Energy, Dr Daryoush Allaei thought there had to be a better way to harness wind power.
In 2009, he and his team set about designing a system for collecting wind much closer to the ground. The resulting Invelox system captures wind at speeds as low as 2km/h and funnels it to increase speed before passing it through a small turbine. Not only is the design able to capture winds at low speed, thereby "making wind power viable in most of the world", but the system is smaller, simpler, cheaper and quieter than traditional turbines, says SheerWind's Carla Scholz.
Sceptics point to the small surface area and lack of height, but the company claims the cost of electricity generated by Invelox is almost three times less than that from an equivalent, existing turbine.
Rather than focusing on the ground, however, there are many more companies looking to the skies. As Dr Edge says, "there are definite advantages to going further up", where the winds are both stronger and more consistent.
Research by the Politecnico di Torino, for example, has found that wind speeds at 800m are more than twice those at 10m, with power 10 times greater.

One company pioneering flying turbines is Germany's EnerKite. The team has designed a carbon fibre wing that is "controlled to fly crosswind in turning eights, pulling strong on the tether, driving reels on the ground", explains co-founder Alexander Bormann. The wing is then reeled in and the process begins again.
Dr Bormann says a 100kW kite produces the same amount of electricity as a 200kW-300kW turbine, which means cheaper power. He argues the design is low maintenance, can be serviced on the ground and is easily transported. And like all flying wind generators, it uses far less materials than tower-mounted turbines.
At small scale, the kites are most suitable for more remote communities that may rely on diesel generation to fulfil some or all their power needs, but, in the longer term, they could "be scaleable to utility-level production", says Mr Bormann.
Italy's KiteGen Research is working on a similar design, while others are looking at balloon technologies to carry turbines hundreds of metres into the sky.
US-based Altaeros Energies uses a helium-filled shell within which sits a traditional but lightweight turbine. It can be raised or lowered to seek out the optimal wind speed and is attached to the ground by three tethers, one of which transmits the power generated back to earth. The company says the design produces two to three times the power output of standard turbine, with installation and transport costs 90% lower.
Canada's LTA Windpower is developing a similar concept, but using an airship designed to contain hydrogen.
The notoriously secretive Google X is also getting in on the act, having bought wind power company Makani in 2013. Its solution involves a tethered, carbon fibre glider flying in circles at an altitude of up to 350m, carrying up to 8 small turbines producing 600kW of power. Makani claims each glider can generate 50% more energy than a traditional, fixed turbine.
With variability one of the key drawbacks of wind power, the logic of going higher is indisputable. But Jan Matthiesen at the UK's Carbon Trust argues there are "a lot of questions and a lot of risks with airborne power".
"A lot more work and testing needs to be done for these companies to build up a track record, and with very high [development] costs it will be difficult for new technologies to break into the market."
He believes it will be at least 10 years before flying turbines reach widespread commercialisation.
Developments in offshore floating turbines are happening far quicker.
There are already prototypes operating off the coast of Norway, Portugal and Japan, while a number of companies are working hard to unleash the potential of technologies that could transform wind energy generation.
For countries where the coastal seabed drops steeply, such as Japan and the west coasts of the US and France, traditional offshore turbines fixed to the seafloor are simply not an option.
Not only, then, do floating turbines open up possibilities for wind generation in new places, but they hold some advantages over their fixed counterparts. They can be built and assembled onshore and then towed out to sea, and if repairs are needed they can simply be towed back again, making maintenance easier and cheaper.
As Dr Edge says, "they have the potential to reduce costs massively".
For to increase wind power generation, bigger turbines are needed, and these will always be restricted onshore by public opposition, not only to their appearance but to the noise they create - already big blades are often run at sub-optimal speeds onshore to keep the noise down.
Offshore, there are no limits. Stronger winds help bigger turbines generate more power, thereby lowering the unit cost of the electricity they produce.
"For wind energy to really make a difference, it needs to be up-scaled, and to really scale up you have to go offshore, there is no other way," says Mr Matthiesen.
Flying turbine developers may disagree, but with such an array of new technologies, the case against harnessing the wind's power appears to be weakening by the day.
Timmonsville, a town of only 2,000 people, passed the order on Tuesday. A first offence leads to a verbal warning, a second to a written warning and a third to a fine of $100-600.
Similar orders were previously made in towns in Florida and Louisiana.
One council official said the ban would lead to racial profiling.
In 2007, officials in Delcambre, Louisiana, said their ban was not racist.
In pictures: Sagging trousers
The style is popular with hip-hop artists. The New York Times reported that the style originated from oversized prison outfits, given without belts to avoid suicide attempts.
The Timmonsville order, published by the Florence News newspaper, reads:
"It shall be unlawful for any person driving or walking the streets and roads of the town of Timmonsville to:
(a) engage in public nudity;
(b) display pornographic material such that others are unwantingly exposed to the same or that minors are able to view the same;
(c) display the flesh of one's rear-end, behind or backside during stationary or movement within the city limits;
(d) wear pants, trousers, or shorts such that the known undergarments are intentional displayed/exposed to the public."
"Young children do what they see," Timmonsville Mayor William James Jr was quoted as saying by the Florence News.
"If they see older guys doing that, they're going to grow up and think that it's right. We need to put a stop to it. I understand there's a such thing as fads, but this has gone on way too long."
One member of the council, Cheryl Qualls, objected to the order, saying: "It will increase racial profiling on some of our children here in Timmonsville and across the country," according to South Carolina's The State newspaper.
Sagging trousers were often more expensive, and used as a status symbol, she said.
Ocala city council in Florida overturned its ban on sagging trousers two years ago.
Bangladesh began the day needing 33 to beat England for the first time in a Test match, with two wickets remaining.
They calmly added 10 runs before Taijul Islam was given out lbw after a review.
Two balls later Stokes removed last man Shafiul Islam, who was given out lbw and failed to overturn it on review as Bangladesh were dismissed for 263.
Going into the game, the Tigers had won just seven of their 93 Tests, beating only Zimbabwe and an under-strength West Indies.
They have another opportunity in the second and final Test of the series, which begins in Dhaka on Friday.
In a match featuring a record 26 decisions reviewed, it was perhaps inevitable that the end came with trial by television.
England's first wicket was a less-than-confident appeal, but they had two new referrals at their disposal after the 80-over mark in the innings and were slipping closer to defeat.
Taijul shuffled across his stumps trying to turn one to leg and it flew off the pad for what would have been valuable leg byes, but England gambled on a review, which suggested the ball would have just straightened enough to hit the top of leg stump.
The match ended two balls later as last man Shafiul was hit on the pad outside the line of off stump, which would ordinarily be not out if the umpires were satisfied the batsman had made an attempt to play the ball.
But umpire Kumar Dharmasena deemed that no shot was played, although others might have argued it was more likely to be the limited technique of a number 11 batsman being beaten for pace by a reverse-swinging delivery approaching 90mph.
Although Shafiul called for a review, third umpire S Ravi backed his on-field colleague and the decision stood.
It was also fitting that the final wicket should have been taken by Stokes, who was unsurprisingly handed the man-of-the-match award.
The all-rounder took four late wickets in Bangladesh's first innings, followed by 85 with the bat in England's second, and he was chosen to partner Stuart Broad in an all-seam attack on the final morning.
Stokes tested Taijul with a bouncer that the tailender gloved over wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow for four.
But full deliveries accounted for the last two batsmen in a final day chapter which lasted only 3.3 overs, the denouement to a fantastic match that fluctuated throughout.
England captain Alastair Cook: "It was a really good Test match - I didn't think that we'd be here on day five looking at that wicket.
"In one way it's sad that there has to be a loser because it was such a tight game. Credit to both sides.
"I'm really happy that we showed the character to hold our nerve towards the end and the quality we have, certainly in our seamers with reverse swing, I was confident we'd make enough chances."
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim: "Probably it was not in our favour, 33 runs and two wickets, but the boys put in so much effort over the last five day. After 15 months [Bangladesh's previous Test was against South Africa in July 2015], I'm really proud.
"Our boys fought it out which is really impressive and hopefully we'll do the same in the next match."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew:
It's easy to come here as a quick bowler, bowl a few overs and expect the spinners to get on with it.
But quality seam bowling, with some reverse swing, has a role to play out here.
Former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on BBC Test Match Special:
Stokes got the ball reversing in about the 60th over in the first innings. But he kept running in hard with pace, and that has aided him in getting those wickets.
This is going against his natural instincts as he wants to hit the pitch as a bowler and get after the ball as a batsman - he's matured as a cricketer.
This was the 53rd Test in Bangladesh and the first time all 40 wickets have fallen.
Melissa Layla Lewis, 22, remains in a critical condition after she was hit on Chester Street at 04:45 BST on Sunday.
Her family said the student, originally from London, had recently moved to the city to study for a master's degree.
The 55-year-old man has been held on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
The man was also arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a collision. He remains in police custody for questioning.
Lynda Canning-Lewis, her mother, said: "Melissa had only just moved to Manchester to start her master's degree with her whole future ahead of her."
She also thanked police, hospital staff and the University of Manchester for their support.
Anybody with information is urged to contact Greater Manchester Police or Crimestoppers.
The proposals are contained in a public consultation jointly published by the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) and the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland.
However, the consultation has been criticised by the Northern Ireland's biggest public sector union, Nipsa.
It claimed it was an uncosted bid to "save money and dress it up as reform".
Nipsa official Dooley Harte said: "This document provides no options but rather is a blatant attempt by the Northern Ireland Office and the chief electoral officer to lead the Northern Ireland public right up the path to a worse service that we could end up paying for."
He added that the consultation "provides no financial information on what it costs to run the current offices, how much it will cost to devolve functions to councils, what services will be lost or reduced".
Mr Harte further claimed that there has been no proper engagement with councils "to get their agreement to devolution".
However, Northern Ireland Minister Kris Hopkins said: "I have seen first-hand how councils can play an important role in the delivery of elections, maintaining a vital local link to the wider democratic process.
"I am pleased therefore that this consultation seeks views on giving them an enhanced role."
The Northern Ireland consultation process is due to end in January. The Electoral Office have said they are hopeful the system will be running by 2017.
In Great Britain, 90% of voter registrations are now made online.
Mr Hopkins added: "Digital registration will bring Northern Ireland into step with the rest of the UK and promises to make registering to vote more straightforward."
Legislation to introduce electronic registration is due be presented to parliament next month.
Nipsa has called on the public to "fight for the retention of the current regional electoral offices".
Francis Dunlop was using the Kill Weed device in his garden in Bourne, Lincolnshire, on 15 June.
He died despite a neighbour in Betjeman Close extinguishing the fire with a garden hose. An inquest into the death has been opened and adjourned.
An EU-wide alert has been issued warning there is a "serious risk" of burns or fire from using the product.
"If the gas canister is not fitted correctly this can lead to a leakage of gas and risk of fire when product is ignited for normal use," the alert says about the Taiwanese product.
Flame guns like this are typically used to scorch off weeds between paving slabs and on driveways, as an alternative to using chemical weed killers.
The instructions for the Kill Weed model say it works by "heating the weed foliage with an intense heat up to 1,300ºC".
It is sold by Coopers of Stortford, based in Hertfordshire, which has told customers they can return the item free of charge.
The product recall said: "We have discovered a serious safety issue with the Kill Weed product which could lead to the risk of fire during use.
"As customer safety is of paramount importance, we must advise customers to stop using the Kill Weed with immediate effect.
"Additionally, if you have bought this product for someone else please let them know about this notice urgently."
Keeping 28 pages of the report secret has sparked speculation that the attack had received official Saudi support.
The classified pages are also central to a dispute over whether the families of 9/11 victims should be able to sue the Saudi government.
Saudi Arabia denies any involvement.
Fifteen out of the 19 hijackers in 2001 were Saudi citizens.
How strained are US-Saudi relations?
Former senator Bob Graham, who headed the Senate intelligence committee that compiled the classified report in 2002, has said that Saudi officials did provide assistance to the 9/11 hijackers.
But Mr Brennan said this was not the case.
"So these 28 pages I believe are going to come out and I think it's good that they come out. People shouldn't take them as evidence of Saudi complicity in the attacks," Mr Brennan said in an interview with Saudi-owned Arabiya TV.
Mr Brennan also described the 28-page section of the 2002 report as merely a "preliminary review".
"The 9/11 commission looked very thoroughly at these allegations of Saudi involvement... their conclusion was that there was no evidence to indicate that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually had supported the 9/11 attacks," he said.
In May, a bill to allow Americans to sue Saudi Arabia over the attacks, in which nearly 3,000 people died, was passed by the Senate and now moves to the House of Representatives.
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has warned that the move could cause his government to withdraw US investments.
Mr Graham has said that the White House would decide whether to release the classified pages this month.
Irwin was ninth in race one, won by Leon Haslam, before coming in runner-up to PBM Ducati team-mate Shane Byrne.
Alastair Seeley was 17th in the first race for Tyco BMW but Michael Laverty failed to finish in both events.
Eglinton rider David Allingham was second behind Tarran Mackenzie in Monday's feature Supersport race.
Yamaha-mounted Mackenzie maintained his 100% winning start to the season by overtaking early leader Allingham and has now collected a maximum 150 points from six outings.
Allingham lies 54 points behind the Scot in second place in the standings, with fellow Northern Ireland riders Andrew Irwin and Keith Farmer fourth and fifth in the series respectively.
Carrickfergus rider Irwin, brother of Glenn, had clinched a second position in Sunday's sprint race, with Allingham third and Farmer fourth.
Haslam continues to lead the Superbike class despite crashing in race two in an incident which also saw James Ellison and Seeley come off.
Laverty and his machine were both recovering from the after-affects of a spectacular crash in practice.
Eugene McManus was second in the Motostar event, with Richard Kerr fifth and Scott Swann 26th.
McManus is third in the championship and Kerr fifth.
Michael Dunlop continued his preparation for the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT by taking 19th in Superbike race one on his Bennetts Hawk Racing Suzuki, but failed to finish the next race.
Carl Phillips, backed by Dunlop's MD Racing Team, was a non-finisher in the Superstock 1000cc class.

Schmidhofer, who had never previously won a World Cup race, navigated the course in one minute and 21.34 seconds.
Vonn, 32, made a perfect start but slid out mid-course, managing to avoid a crash and skiing to the finish zone.
"I lost my pole early on and tried to get it back. It was a tactical error but I gave it everything," Vonn said.
"I went too straight and had no chance of making the next gate. I am not disappointed. I don't know why I am losing the pole. I will duct-tape it to my hand."
Vonn, who has 77 World Cup wins, has only featured in two races since returning from an injured knee and broken arm and has not won gold at a World Championships since 2009.
The 2010 Olympic downhill gold medallist says her best chance for a victory in St Moritz, Switzerland is now in Sunday's downhill.
Defending super-G champion, Anna Veith, also failed to register a time as Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein came second and Switzerland's pre-race favourite Lara Gut finished third.

The group urged the US and European Commission to revise and clarify several points in the proposed Privacy Shield agreement in order to safeguard EU citizens' personal information.
The Privacy Shield is meant to replace an earlier data transfer pact called Safe Harbour.
Safe Harbour was invalidated by a court decision last year.
The Article 29 Data Protection Working Party said it was still concerned about the possibility of "massive and indiscriminate" bulk collection of EU citizens' data by the US authorities.
It added that it wanted further guarantees about the powers a US official would have to handle complaints from EU citizens.
"We believe that we don't have enough security [or] guarantees in the status of the ombudsperson and in their effective powers to be sure that this is really an independent authority," said Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, the chairwoman of the group.
The group's recommendations are not binding on the EU or US, but should prove influential as the watchdogs can suspend data transfers they are concerned about.
"I am grateful to the experts for their thorough analysis," responded Vera Jourova, European Commissioner for Justice.
"[They provided] a number of useful recommendations and the Commission will work to swiftly include them in its final decision."
The European Court of Justice effectively brought an end to Safe Habour in October when it ruled that the pact did not eliminate the need for local watchdogs to check that US firms were protecting Europeans' data.
The agreement had been used for 15 years to allow American firms to self-certify that they were carrying out the necessary steps.
But a privacy campaigner challenged the process after whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed details about US authorities spying on foreign citizens' data held in the country.
The EU privacy regulators are concerned that a similar challenge could be brought against the proposed Privacy Shield unless its language is toughened up.
Earlier in the week, Microsoft had endorsed Privacy Shield on the basis that the US could take "additional steps" to protect data at a later point.
One US-based lawyer expressed concern that the matter had not been resolved.
"The working party's opinion today can really be summed up in two words: transatlantic chaos," said Phil Lee from the law firm Fieldfisher.
"If the Privacy Shield doesn't get adopted, countless US businesses will be left scratching their heads in wonder as to how they can continue to service their EU customers lawfully.
"The working party's opinion creates a real problem for the commission. Does it go against the view of the working party and adopt the Privacy Shield anyway? Or does it go back to the drawing table with the US Department of Commerce and try to negotiate a better deal?"
An Edinburgh-based lawyer echoed his concern.
"The reality is that international transfers of data are vital to economic growth and there needs to be a pragmatic solution adopted by the courts, policy makers and data protection authorities to recognise this," said Kathryn Wynn, a data protection expert at the law firm Pinsent Masons.
But Max Schrems - the campaigner who challenged Safe Harbour - welcomed the latest development.
"I personally doubt that the European Commission will change its plans much," he said.
"There will be some political wording, but I think they will still push it through.
"Given the negative opinion, a challenge to the Privacy Shield at the courts is even more promising. Privacy Shield is a total failure that is kept alive because of extensive pressure by the US government and some sectors of the industry."
The photo is of a lenticular cloud, sightings of which the Met Office said were suspected to be behind many reported UFOs.
The "truly spectacular" snap was taken by Thomas Beresford above the Ribblehead viaduct on Friday.
BBC weather expert Paul Hudson said the natural phenomenon was technically called a roll cloud and was quite rare.
"In this instance it's caused by air flowing over the top of Whernside from the east, creating effectively a stationary type of lenticular cloud - the shape and size of which is dependent on the wavelength of the stationary wave," he said.
Could Concorde ever fly again?
The lens-shaped clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow from the same direction.
BBC Look North weather presenter Abbie Dewhurst was certainly impressed by the photograph.
"Wow, it does look like Concorde - not that I have too many memories of it, being only 10 when it stopped flying," she said.
The supersonic plane was involved in a crash in France in 2000 that killed 109 people onboard and four on the ground.
It was retired in 2003 by British Airways and Air France who decommissioned it for "commercial reasons" amid declining passenger numbers.

The first minister has said On the Runs have letters "stuffed in their pockets" guaranteeing that they will not be prosecuted for any offence.
The DUP has claimed that amounts to a general amnesty for those concerned.
But is that the case? What do the letters actually say?
We do not know if all of the so-called "letters of assurance" were couched in identical terms, but evidence presented in private hearings at the Old Bailey suggests they were, and that legal safeguards were built in.
In his judgement in the case of John Downey who denied the murder of four soldiers in an IRA attack in Hyde Park in 1982, Mr Justice Sweeney refers to the fact that on 15 June 2000, Jonathan Powell, who was prime minister Tony Blair's Chief of Staff, wrote to Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams enclosing letters representing decisions by the attorney general and the director of public prosecutions for England and Wales.
The letters stated that: "Following a review of your case by the director of public prosecutions for England and Wales, he has concluded that on the evidence before him there is insufficient to afford a realistic prospect of convicting you for any such offence arising out of..."
Anyone already convicted of paramilitary crimes became eligible for early release under the terms of the Northern Ireland Good Friday agreement of 1998.
The agreement did not cover:
They went on to say: "You would not therefore face prosecution for any such offence should you return to the United Kingdom. That decision is based on the evidence currently available. Should such fresh evidence arise - and any statement made by you implicating yourself in... may amount to such evidence - the matter may have to be reconsidered."
There are a number of key phrases. The statement that the decision is based on "evidence currently available" clearly suggests that if new evidence was to come to light, the issue could be reconsidered.
That is reinforced in the next sentence when it is spelt out clearly that should any fresh evidence arise "the matter may have to be reconsidered."
The judge also noted that on 22 March 2002, a briefing note was prepared for the prime minister for a meeting with Gerry Adams.
By that stage Sinn Féin had provided a total of 161 names of On the Runs for clarification of their legal status.
Of these, the judgement notes, "47 had so far been cleared". In a further 12 cases it said the director of public prosecutions for Northern Ireland "had said there remained a requirement to prosecute, and in a further 10 the police had sufficient evidence to warrant arrest for questioning."
We do not know details of the alleged offences this note referred to, but what it does make clear is that by that stage 22 of the 161 OTRs who sought legal clarification were not given assurances that they would not be prosecuted.
In the same month, the judgement notes that a note was prepared by a senior legal official following requests from Sinn Féin for the administrative process dealing with OTRs to be speeded up.
It was noted that "it would be necessary to include in the NIO's 'comfort letter' a qualification as to the level of comfort given."
A suggested draft again stated that the assurance that an individual was not wanted for arrest, questioning or charge was given "on the basis of the information currently available."
It added: "If any other outstanding offence or offences come to light, or if any request for extradition were to be received these would have to be dealt with in the usual way."
Peter Hain, who was secretary of state when the process to deal with On the Runs was introduced, told the court that the key phraseology used in the personal letters was "in essence common to all, that on the basis of current information they were not wanted and would not be arrested."
There is also clear evidence, other than the contents of the judgement, that not all On the Runs received assurances that they would not be prosecuted.
The BBC has obtained a copy of a letter sent to the Northern Ireland Policing Board in April 2010 by Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris, the PSNI officer with oversight of its role in the process, which was to establish whether named individuals were wanted for questioning or arrest.
In it, he told the board that:
"Of the submitted names, 173 are not wanted, eight have been returned to prison and 11 remain wanted. In the year 2007 to 2008, three persons were arrested and referred to the court service. Of the remaining names, 10 have been referred to the PPS for direction, 11 are proceeding through Historical Enquiry Team review and two are ongoing live investigations."
The letter sent to John Downey in July 2007 contained a caveat that his assurance could be reconsidered if new evidence came to light.
His letter said: "The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has been informed by the attorney general that on the basis of the information currently available, there is no outstanding direction for prosecution in Northern Ireland, there are no warrants in existence, nor are you wanted in Northern Ireland for arrest, questioning or charge by the police.
"The Police Service of Northern Ireland are not aware of any interest in you from any other police force in the UK. If any other outstanding offence or offences come to light, or if any request for extradition were to be received, these would have to be dealt with in the usual way."
The key phrase is once again "information currently available."
The problem for the Northern Ireland Office was that at the time the letter was sent, John Downey was listed as wanted by the Metropolitan Police in connection with the Hyde Park bombing.
The problem for the PSNI was that it was aware of this fact, but had not made the NIO nor attorney general aware of it when it carried out a review of John Downey's legal status.
That meant Downey was wrongly informed that there were no warrants for his arrest, and enabled his lawyers to argue that there had been an abuse of process when he was arrested at Gatwick airport in May, 2013.
It also meant the caveat about "any other outstanding offence or offences" coming to light was null and void, because at the time the letter was sent he was wanted in connection with the bombing.
It was not an outstanding or new offence but one the authorities should have been aware of when the assurance was given because he was listed on the Police National Computer as wanted.
Likewise, the fact that he was wanted by the Metropolitan Police was "information currently available" when the letter was issued.
Legal sources say the problem was not a lack of caveat, but the fact that the PSNI did not highlight the fact that John Downey was wanted.
The result was that when he was arrested, prosecution lawyers could not argue that it was based on new evidence, or information the state was not aware of at the time the assurance was given.
Legal sources say that if the letters received by other OTRs contain similar wording, it would still be possible for them to be prosecuted at a later date if new evidence linking them to an offence comes to light.
That is of course, unless other mistakes have been made and assurances have been issued based on inaccurate information.
The PSNI is currently conducting a review of all OTR cases to determine if the information it gave the prosecution authorities was accurate.
But four-wheel drive vehicle, Idris, has been programmed to do just that by experts at Aberystwyth University's intelligent robotics group.
The electric four-wheeler, about the size of an Austin Mini, can pursue people, vehicles or anything it can "see".
As part of a series looking at robotics, BBC Wales finds out about the software which makes 400kg Idris run and why it could be very useful.
Dr Frederic Labrosse, who wrote much of the software, has acted as quarry for the all-terrain robot, walking ahead while it follows. He admits it can be "disconcerting".
"It's scary at some point, but you've got to trust the software. The problem is the faster you go, the faster it goes. So, you cannot escape, basically," he said.
"The trick is just to jump in front of it and that trips all of the safety devices and that will stop the robot."
Of course, in reality Idris is not as menacing or sinister as the concept might suggest, in spite of its detachable mechanical arm and gripper.
It is currently programmed to move no faster than 10 mph and halts whenever its laser scanners detect an obstruction.
Dr Labrosse said the main application would be for convoying, where a series of automated vehicles are led by a human driver or a smarter robot at the front.
In this way, the robots could be sent to places where its not desirable to have many people, such as war zones, areas used for mining and anywhere hit by a disaster.
The Idris platform was bought by the university from a French company for about £96,000 (130,000 euros) 10 years ago.
Using programming developed at the university, the robot was used to laser-scan a disused part of the Vivian quarry, in Llanberis, Gwynedd, for the Royal Commission of Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
The vehicle has a number of cameras to take in its surroundings.
But how does Idris "see" what it's tracking and differentiate it from everything else?
"Idris doesn't really recognise what it's supposed to follow," Dr Labrosse said.
"We give it an image of the object to follow and it just tries to find the same pixels or similar pixels in the image (it takes in).
"So, it does not know that what it follows is a person or a car or whatever. It does not recognise in that way we as human beings would do."
But what about the most important question?
"Does it work? Sometimes well, sometimes not so well," Dr Labrosse said.
During a demonstration for the BBC, co-ordinator of the intelligent robotics group Dr Mark Neal was enlisted as the "object" for Idris follow around a small lake while he wore a fluorescent bib.
Idris sounded "target found" when it detected the hi-visibility bib, which had been programmed in as its leader. It then followed Dr Neal along a rough path.
At points when the light changed or when Dr Neal left its field of vision, Idris said "target lost... lost... target definitely lost" and halted.
However, Dr Labrosse said adjustments to its software will improve performance.
The machine has already been made to follow Dr Neal's car over a considerable distance and has negotiated a cattle grid while driving on its own automated route without a target.
But Dr Labrosse is not content with the stark image of a robotised vehicle on Land Rover wheels rolling over the Ceredigion countryside, unnerving the sheep on a nearby hill.
"It could be a flying vehicle, for example," he said. "We're doing applications where we have flying robots that automatically follow a vehicle or a boat on the ground."

The 1623 first edition of the bard's work was stolen from the university in 1998. Its bindings and some pages were removed to try to disguise its origins.
Visitors to the exhibition at the new Wolfson Gallery at the university can view it in its current condition.
It will be conserved to protect it from damage after the exhibition. It is one of the earliest examples of a gathering together of the playwright's work.

The folio, which has an estimated value of £1.5m, will form the centrepiece of the Treasures of Durham University in the refurbished Wolfson Gallery.
The new gallery has undergone a £2.3m refurbishment, funded in part by a £500,000 donation from the Wolfson Foundation - a charity that awards grants to support excellence in the fields of science and medicine, health, education and the arts and humanities.
Chancellor of Durham University, Bill Bryson, is the guest curator of this first exhibition, which covers topics including culture, science, faith and religion, reform and rule, and local history.
The treasures have been drawn from collections across the university.
The Shakespeare First Folio will be on display until 6 March.
Six candidates have been barred from running in the September poll for failing to prove they are no longer in favour of Hong Kong's independence.
Three of the rejected candidates joined the march to the offices of the chief executive, where police met them.
Beijing considers the former British territory an inseparable part of China.
Jimmy Sham, head of the Civil Human Rights Front which organised the march, said the key issues protesters were highlighting were judicial independence, and the principle of political neutrality for civil servants, which includes the electoral returning officers.
A court, he said, should decide who is not allowed to run in the election, not the electoral affairs office.
The protest comes days after a court spared three student leaders who led mass rallies and sit-ins in 2014 from jail.
Joshua Wong, who became the teenage face of the protests, was given 80 hours of community service for unlawful assembly.
Nathan Law was sentenced to 120 hours, while Alex Chow was given a three-week prison sentence suspended for a year.
The movement called on Beijing to allow fully free elections for the leader of the semi-autonomous territory. However, it failed to win any concessions on political reform. | The housing market is "sitting on a plateau", a lenders' group has said, despite renewed competition between providers on mortgage rates.

Fourth seed Nadal, the champion in 2007, 2009 and 2013, won 6-4 6-3 against Japan's world number seven.
The Spaniard will face world number one Novak Djokovic, who beat seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-2).
"I beat a top-10 player and that is something that is important for my confidence," said Nadal, 29.
"I feel I am strong mentally and I have the right energy. I am able to fight for every ball and I now believe in myself the whole match."
Four-time champion Djokovic was pushed hard by Tsonga but the Serb proved stronger in the tie-breaks, taking his record for 2016 to 20 wins and one defeat.
Nadal and Djokovic have played each other 47 times, with the world number one 24-23 ahead.

All three, from the Saxmundham area, have been released on police bail until 7 May.
Immigration officials alleged Daniel Ramirez Medina had gang ties and should be deported. His lawyer denied this and called his arrest unconstitutional.
He has no criminal record.
Mr Ramirez was brought to the US illegally at the age of seven and was protected from deportation under one of President Barack Obama's policies.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was established in 2012 to allow those brought to America while young to attend school and work without fear of deportation.
His case is being closely watched by the more than 740,000 people in the programme, who fear they may lose their protections under President Donald Trump's government.
Those protected are often known as "dreamers" - a name taken from the failed 2010 Dream Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) - a bill which aimed to help young illegal immigrants become US citizens.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had intended to arrest his father at home in Seattle, but also detained Mr Ramirez on 10 February. Officials then revoked his protected status, AP news agency reported.
An immigration judge earlier this week granted his release on a $15,000 (£12,000) bond pending a decision on his immigration status.
Supporters welcomed Mr Ramirez in the lobby of a detention facility after he was freed on Wednesday. He nodded and smiled at reporters.
In a statement, Mr Ramirez's lawyer Mark Rosenbaum said this was "an important first step toward justice."

Sharbat Gula now lives with her five-year-old son and three daughters in Kabul, where she says she wants to live a normal life after years of tragedy and hardship.
Her portrait as a 10-year-old became an iconic image of Afghan refugees fleeing war.
The only time she has spoken to the media before now, her family says, was for a 2002 documentary after Steve McCurry, who took her original photo, tracked her down in Pakistan and found out who she was.
Sharbat Gula had no idea that her face had been famous around the world for almost seventeen years.
Like many Afghans, she sought refuge in Pakistan and lived there for 35 years - but she was imprisoned and deported last autumn for obtaining Pakistani identity papers "illegally".
"We had a good time there, had good neighbours, lived among our own Pashtun brothers. But I didn't expect that the Pakistani government would treat me like this at the end," Sharbat Gula told me at her temporary residence in Kabul.
Her case highlighted the arbitrary arrest and forced deportation of Afghan refugees in the current spat between the two countries.
It has been illegal for non-Pakistanis to have IDs since they were first issued in the 1970s, but the law was often not enforced.
Now sick and frail in her mid-40s, Sharbat Gula's haunting eyes are still piercing, full of both fear and hope.
She says she had already sold her house in Pakistan because she feared arrest there for "not having proper documents to stay".
Two days before a planned move back to Afghanistan, her house was raided late in the evening and she was taken to prison.
Pakistan's government has ordered all two million Afghan refugees on its soil to leave.
Sharbat Gula believes the Pakistani authorities wanted to arrest her before she left.
"I told the police that I have made this ID card for only two things - to educate my children and sell my house - which were not possible to do without the ID card."
She served a 15-day prison sentence, the first week in prison and the second in hospital where she was treated for hepatitis C.
"This was the hardest and worst incident in my life."
Realising the reputational damage, Pakistan later offered to let her stay - but she refused.
"I told them that I am going to my country. I said: 'You allowed me here for 35 years, but at the end treated me like this.' It is enough."
Her husband and eldest daughter died in Peshawar and are buried there.
"If I wanted to go back, it will be just to offer prayer at the graves of my husband and daughter who are buried in front of the house we lived in."
The "Afghan Girl" picture was taken by Steve McCurry in 1984 in a refugee camp near Peshawar, when Sharbat Gula was studying in a tent school. Published in 1985, it became one of the most recognisable magazine covers ever printed.
For years she was unaware of her celebrity.
"When my brother showed me the picture, I recognised myself and told him that yes, this is my photo."
How did she feel?
"I became very surprised [because] I didn't like media and taking photos from childhood. At first, I was concerned about the publicity of my photo but when I found out that I have been the cause of support/help for many people/refugees, then I became happy."
‘Green eyed girl’ in quest for new life
None of Sharbat Gula's six children - another daughter died too at an early age and is buried in Peshawar - share the colour of her eyes.
But her brother, Kashar Khan, does, and the eyes of one of her three sisters were also green.
She says her maternal grandmother had eyes of a similar colour.
Sharbat Gula was a child living with her family in Kot district of eastern Nangarhar province when Soviet forces invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
"There was war between Russians and Afghanistan - that is why we left. A lot of damage/destruction was done."
Her mother died of appendicitis in the village when she was eight. Like hundreds of thousands of other Afghans, her family (her father, four sisters and one brother) migrated to Pakistan and started living in a tent in a refugee camp called Kacha Garahi, on the outskirts of Peshawar.
She was married at 13. But her husband, Rahmat Gul, was later diagnosed with hepatitis C and died about five years ago. Her eldest daughter also died of hepatitis three years ago, aged 22, leaving a two-month-old daughter.
Sharbat Gula met President Ashraf Ghani in the presidential palace on her return, and later former President Hamid Karzai.
"They gave me respect, warmly welcomed me. I thank them. May God treat them well."
The government has promised to support her financially and buy her a house in Kabul.
"I hope the government will fulfil all its promises," she told me.
Kot district is a stronghold of militants linked to the so-called Islamic State group, so she can't go home to her village. Her green-eyed brother and hundreds of others have fled the area, fearing IS brutality.
"We cannot even visit our village now because of insecurity and don't have a shelter in Jalalabad. Our life is a struggle from one hardship to another," he says.
But Sharbat Gula's priority is to stay in her country, get better and see her children be educated and live happy lives.
"I want to establish a charity or a hospital to treat all poor, orphans and widows," she says.
"I would like peace to come to this country, so that people don't become homeless. May God fix this country."
Management at the South Eastern Trust closed the ward on Friday 11 November.
The Maynard Sinclair Ward is a paediatric medical ward that works with children up to 14 years of age.
The South Eastern Trust said the situation was being monitored and the ward would re-open once appropriate staffing levels were achieved.
David Robinson uses the ward with his nine-year-old daughter Leah and told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that they got caught up in the closure.
"Leah has an assortment of issues, she has cerebral palsy, severe epilepsy, she is in a wheelchair, she has to be peg fed and has a number of serious allergies," he said.
"Since she was five weeks old we have had constant admittances to the Maynard Sinclair Ward.
"The nurses there are like an extended family to Leah, they know her really well and understand her condition."
Leah has direct admittance to the ward whenever she needs it due to her complex condition, but last month, when she had to be rushed in, the family were told she would have to go through A&E as there were not enough staff to manage the ward.
She was in A&E for five hours, but her condition deteriorated and she had to be transferred to the intensive care unit at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
Leah had to stay there for three weeks before being discharged on Friday.
Mr Robinson said he was surprised to hear the ward was still closed.
"I called up into the ward to basically find empty beds and no staff," he said.
In a statement the South Eastern Trust confirmed that the ward had to be closed last month.
"Due to staff sickness levels and to ensure patient safety, a decision was made with senior management and clinicians within the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust on Friday 11 November 2016 to temporarily relocate all paediatric admissions from Maynard Sinclair to Craig Ward in the Ulster Hospital," said the trust.
"The trust will continue to monitor sickness levels on a daily basis and Maynard Sinclair Ward will be reopened as soon as appropriate staffing levels can be achieved.
"Staff within this clinical area continue to provide a high standard of nursing care to all children and young people with the full support of their managers and the trust."
MLA Robbie Butler, who sits on Stormont's health committee for the Ulster Unionist Party, said he would be asking Health Minister Michelle O'Neill to urgently explain the situation.
"I am disappointed that this is the first time that the health committee are hearing about a major ward being closed," he said.
"This demonstrates the lack of flexibility within the system to be able to respond to staff shortages due to sickness."
The man was hoping to take the train from Paris to London when the object was spotted.
The station was briefly evacuated and bomb disposal experts were called.
A spokesman for the SNCF rail company said the shell had been defused and posed no danger to the public.
It was from either World War One or Two, the spokesman said.
International and domestic trains were delayed while the inspection was carried out, but are now getting back to normal.
Services were already badly delayed by two other incidents - a fire on a nearby building site, and passengers on the track - earlier in the morning.

Legislation about everything from taxation and employment to health-care benefits and pension payments was changed to allow gay couples the same rights as heterosexual couples.
The Australian Human Rights Commission hailed the amendments as an important step on the road to full equality for same-sex couples.
The changes allowed "people to have dignity", says Lyle Shelton, a former journalist and political adviser who is now managing director of a Christian lobby group.
Since then there has been a push to change Australia's marriage laws to allow same-sex couples to legally wed.
But Mr Shelton says this is a step too far.
His Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) - a grass roots movement of people who want to inject Christian ethics into national politics - does not want the definition of marriage to be widened to include same-sex couples.
And he claims that the views of traditional marriage supporters have been drowned out by gay lobbyists and the media.
Marriage is more than a romantic bond between two people, Mr Shelton told the BBC.
It is about bringing up children and children do best when they have a mother and a father, he says.
"When you try to argue that you are called a bigot," he says.
Mr Shelton concedes that if a plebiscite was held today to gauge public opinion - Prime Minister Tony Abbott has suggested one be held next year - most people would probably approve of a law change.
However, he says if the public understood all the ramifications of allowing gay people to marry "I reckon Australians might reconsider this".
ACL is joined by several new groups including Marriage Alliance and the Australian Marriage Forum who claim the national debate is one-sided.
Campaign spokeswoman for Marriage Alliance Sophie York says she was outraged that two commercial television stations and some radio stations refused to run the lobby group's advertisements earlier this month.
The national advertising campaign supporting the current definition of marriage showed a picture of an iceberg with the catchphrase: "It's not as simple as you think."
The ads were run on a large pay TV network and by a newspaper group.
Another group opposed to gay marriage ran advertisements in a national newspaper, while advertisements from a pro-gay marriage group have run on TV.
Ms York told the BBC there was a risk some people were being silenced about their views.
"We want a safe haven for discussion," she says.
It's an argument Rodney Croome, from same-sex lobby group Marriage Equality rejects.
"Opponents of marriage equality complain a lot about the public not hearing their case but I think the reality is the public hears and doesn't care," Mr Croome told the BBC.
The Alliance claims there could be wide-ranging ramifications from allowing gay people to marry including discrimination against businesses that don't want to be involved with gay weddings, and same-sex relationships being given the same status as opposite-sex relationships in school sex education classes.
They also argue that legalising gay marriage would lead to more same-sex parenting and churches would be forced to marry gay couples.
There won't be a tsunami of legal and social consequences flowing from a change in the Marriage Act, says Mr Croome.
"All legal matters related to children are dealt with under the federal Family Law Act and under state laws which already recognise families headed by same-sex couples and have done so for years," he says.
"The only impact marriage equality will have on children is that it will allow the children of same-sex couples the sense of security, stability and affirmation that can come from having married parents.
"The provision of goods and services by people of faith also has nothing to do with marriage equality because it is governed by state and federal anti-discrimination law."
Ms York says there is evidence children need a mother and father and cites claims made by controversial US anti-gay marriage advocate Katy Faust to back her case.
"Is a child entitled to a mother and a father? We think it is a no-brainer," says Ms York.
Scientific studies are used by both sides of the argument to prove their case.
Australian academic website The Conversation recently checked the veracity of many of the comments made by Ms Faust during her recent visit to Australia and found that studies support a number of her claims about non-biological parents but only in a heterosexual context.
"This evidence does not, however, automatically mean that children in same-sex families are at a disadvantage," the report's authors concluded.
"When considering studies that make appropriate, like-for-like comparisons, the overwhelming weight of evidence indicates that children with same-sex attracted parents are developing well - even when taking into account the acknowledged limitations of social science research."
The club's new owners have brought in a £100,000 debenture for existing members and a doubled annual fee of £16,000.
Residents on the estate - where houses cost millions - have threatened to block roads during the PGA contest but the club said they were "not the type".
PGA organisers said any impact on May's event would be "extremely unfortunate".
The Beijing-based Reignwood Group, which bought Wentworth golf club in 2014, unveiled a new membership structure last year.
But Eric Leon, from Wentworth Residents Association, said local people - who own the estate's private roads and verges - had been "kicked out".
He said many residents were not multi-millionaires and could not afford the new fees, which are due to come in to force in 2017.
"We can, in practice, make it very difficult to hold an event like the PGA," he said.
"There are obviously a lot of people who are prepared to block the road if required," he added.
A spokeswoman for the club said it was disappointing to hear of the threat to block roads, but if there was a "serious threat of this nature" the estate would make the club aware.
She said Wentworth residents had respected the PGA championship for 44 years and there had never been any disruption before.
"I don't think the estate residents are the type of people who would be prepared to block roads during such a celebrated event," she added.
She said the Wentworth club had been confirmed as the host venue of the championship - one of the UK's biggest golf tournaments - until 2018 and was also working on collaborating with the European Tour beyond that date.
A spokesman for the European Tour, which organises the PGA Championship and is based at Wentworth, next door to the estate roads committee and the golf club, said the organisation had no mandate to comment on a private club's arrangements.
He said: "It would, however, be extremely unfortunate if the current dispute between Reignwood and the Wentworth Residents Association had any negative effect on the BMW PGA Championship."
He said aside from showcasing Wentworth to golf fans around the world, the championship had also raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities over many years.
The body of Santoso, who led a group that backed so-called Islamic State, had been positively identified, the police chief who led the operation in Central Sulawesi said.
Police are carrying out a DNA test to confirm that the body belongs to the Mujahideen Indonesia Timur leader.
The operation is seen as a major victory for the security forces.
Police, soldiers and journalists let out cries of "praise be to God" at a police press conference announcing the news.
The Islamic State group's influence in Indonesia
Numerous people who had met Santoso or fought alongside him had been asked to identify the body, and confirmed it was him, police said.
Local police chief Rudy Sufahriadi told AFP the person killed was "definitely Santoso", while another police official told Reuters they were "99%" confident it was him.
One other militant was also reported to have been killed.
Santoso pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2014 and had been officially labelled a terrorist by the US government.
His small Mujahideen Indonesia Timur (MIT) group was known for carrying out attacks on security forces, and he urged others to do the same in videos.
MIT is based in Central Sulawesi's mountainous Poso district, a hotbed of religious conflict for over a decade. It is believed to only have about 20 fighters left.
Santoso, also known as "Abu Wardah", has been Indonesia's most highly sought militant but not necessarily its most dangerous.
Indonesian counter terror forces have been actively hunting him since 2013, and have done so with greater urgency following the terror attack in Jakarta in January, as they feared he planned to turn the region into a militant hub.
He was the first Indonesian militant leader to publicly pledge allegiance to IS in 2014, and was active in sectarian violence in Poso between 1998 and 2001.
Santoso is believed to have been training Uighur fighters from China in Poso and had links to other militant groups in the Philippines.
But he was not necessarily the main terror threat to Indonesia. The jailed cleric Aman Abdurrahman and his followers are believed to have been behind the Jakarta attack.
The 5 July suicide bombing in Surakarta, meanwhile, is believed to have been backed by an Indonesian based with IS in the Middle East, Bahrun Naim.
President Joko Widodo last year escalated the search for Santoso, which was already involving thousands of police, by including the military.
National police chief Tito Karnavian said Santoso's death could "demoralise Islamic State supporters in Indonesia", though analysts cast doubt that it would have any impact on the group's support.
Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population. Most Indonesians practice a moderate form of Islam.
The incident comes a day after India launched its first indigenous aircraft carrier and activated the reactor aboard its locally designed nuclear-attack submarine on 10 August.
Commissioned into service in 1997, the Russian-built Sindhurakshak is the seventh and last of the 10 Kilo-class diesel-electric boats the Indian navy acquired from Moscow between 1986 and 2000. It had recently undergone a mid-life upgrade in Russia.
The $80m (£52m) retrofit equipped it with anti-ship and land attack 200km (124 mile)-range cruise missile systems.
The submarine's hull was also refurbished and numerous other systems were upgraded to enhance its safety and security, adding at least an additional 10 years to its 25-year service life.
Sindhurakshak's cooling system likewise underwent modifications, fitted with a Porpoise radio-locator to enhance its capabilities.
Official sources say it is "highly unlikely" that the Indian navy and the Russians will be able to resurrect Sindhurakshak and that will add to the navy's operational woes as it faces a severe depletion of its ageing sub-surface fleet.
By 2014-15, the navy will be left with only nine of its current fleet of 14 diesel-electric submarines that include eight Russian Kilo-class and four German Type 1500 (HDW209) boats.
Beyond the planned expansion of its nuclear submarine capabilities, the navy in addition faces severe difficulties with its conventional underwater assets.
Delivery dates between 2012 and 2017 for the $4.2bn programme to build six French Scorpene diesel-electric patrol submarines under licence at the state-owned Mazagaon Dockyard Limited in Mumbai has been pushed back following bitter financial wrangling and technical problems.
Indian navy officials said the first Scorpene was now scheduled for delivery three years later than planned, most likely around late 2015, and the sixth and last by 2019-20.
Indian government auditors - the Comptroller and Auditor General - in a recent report warned that the navy faced the danger of operating with less than half its already deficient submarine fleet by 2012-13 when 63% of its boats would be eligible for retirement.
The watchdog revealed that "other than holding 67% of the submarines envisaged in its 1985 Maritime Perspective Plan, the average operational availability between January 2002 and December 2006 of the existing boats was as low as 48% due to prolonged refit schedules".
According to the auditors, 83% of short submarine refits and 100% of "normal and medium refits" invariably were delayed well past the prescribed time period.
This was because many of the Sindugosh (Type 877 Kilo-class) boats - of which Sindhurakshak was one - needed to be sent to Russia.
"With serious slippages in the induction plan, the navy is left with an ageing fleet with more than 50% of submarines having completed 75% of their operational life and some already outliving their maximum service life," the report said.
The navy's plans to import two submarines and locally build four to make good the shortfall has been entangled in bureaucratic wrangling for several years.
While the navy is keen on involving private shipyards, the defence ministry wants three submarines built at the Mazagaon Dockyard Limited, despite it being overburdened with orders, and one at the public sector Hindustan Shipyard in Visakhapatnam on the east coast.
Ben Woollacott, 19, is thought to have been hit by the ferry's propellers in the accident at about 06:10 BST.
Mr Woollacott's family had worked as Thames boatmen for five generations and had given "great service to the river", Transport for London (TfL) said.
The Woolwich Ferry, a free service between Woolwich and North Woolwich, was suspended for the rest of the day.
A spokesman for the London Coastguard said Mr Woollacott was understood to have fallen while mooring ropes were being untied.
Coastguards pulled him ashore but waiting paramedics were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Leon Daniels, managing director of TfL surface transport, said: "It is with immense sadness that I learned of the death this morning of Ben Woollacott following an incident on the Woolwich Ferry.
"Many generations of Woollacotts have given great service to the river with Ben keeping up the family tradition and following in his father's footsteps.
"I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Ben's family, friends and colleagues. He will, I know, be very sadly missed."
The Woolwich Ferry was closed for the rest of Wednesday while investigations were carried out. A one-boat service was expected to run from Thursday until further notice.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the Marine Accident Investigation Branch and officers from Greenwich would be investigating the death.
Next season, with their ground sold for redevelopment, they will play their football 13 miles up the A449 at Aggborough, home of local rivals Kidderminster Harriers.
And, although at the moment, their hopes for the future are no more than pipedreams, the long-term plan is to one day return to the city.
City will leave behind a lot of memories for their fans, most notably their finest hour when, on 15 January 1959, they knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup in a third-round tie in front of a crowd of 15,000.
The local folklore is that it was the defeat which cost Liverpool manager Phil Taylor his job and led to the appointment of the legendary Bill Shankly, triggering the start of the famous 'Boot Room' dynasty at Anfield.
The reality is that actually happened 11 months later - and Liverpool were only a Division Two club at the time, but they do say, 'never let the facts get in the way of a good story'.
There are certainly plenty of tales told about that famous day, which, for all Kidderminster's later FA Cup-fighting exploits, still ranks as the biggest in Worcestershire's football history.
Among those crowding into the stadium that day was schoolboy Peter King, who was destined to play for Worcester and later, at the highest level, for Cardiff City.
King is now 70 and living in Spain, but he will never forget that cold winter afternoon at St George's Lane.
"City beat Liverpool," he told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "It sounds rather strange nowadays, doesn't it?
"Liverpool were in the second division in those days, but nevertheless it was a fantastic victory.
"The game couldn't be played on the Saturday as the pitch was waterlogged as per usual, so they played in the midweek and we all had time off school to go to watch it.
"I can remember being there with some of my schoolmates and we thought it was an unbelievable day for Worcester City."
The teenage King was already starting to attract attention from Football League clubs - Bolton Wanderers and Brentford were among those keeping a watchful eye on him - but it was Cardiff who made the first move.
"Although St George's Lane is soon to be lost forever, maybe a new spirit for this great club is about to be found.
"After the final whistle blows on Saturday I will leave with a lump in my throat, but also with hope in my heart that the fans will continue to support the club through their Aggborough exile and work together to bring them back to the city of Worcester soon.
"As a lifelong City fan who grew up in the shadow of St George's Lane, spending the last few years commentating on every match for BBC Hereford & Worcester has been a pleasure and a privilege.
"My first memories of 'The Lane' are peeping through holes in the fence alongside the canal towpath to glimpse the action underneath the floodlights before climbing over at the side of the Shed to get a proper view of my early City heroes like Micky Tuohy, Paul Moss and John McGrath playing in the Alliance Premier League.
"I started my stint as City commentator during Andy Preece's tenure, although sadly not in time to cover the televised FA Cup tie against Huddersfield in 2005.
"This has always been my favourite ground to commentate from and the wooden hut at the back of the main stand has become almost my second home over the past few years."

Cardiff were by then managed by former Worcester boss Bill Jones, who had masterminded that win over Liverpool and still had strong connections with the club.
As a youngster, King was very green when it came to salary negotiations, so he sought advice from one of the senior players at Worcester, Sammy Bryceland.
"We got on really well and he said to me: 'Whatever they offer you, say no because there is more - they are bound to offer you more'.
"Part of the deal involved Harry Knowles, who had been in that City side that had beaten Liverpool.
"When Bill Jones had gone down to Cardiff he had taken Harry Knowles with him, but Harry was in his twenties by then and maybe it was a bit late for him to make the grade.
"Harry was looking to come back to City and I was going to be the makeweight.
"Bill Jones showed me around Ninian Park and then said: 'We'll offer you £12 10 shillings per week', but I remembered what Sammy Bryceland had said so, much to Bill Jones' surprise, I told him: 'Can I think about it?'
"Harry was there and he asked me 'Is it all sorted out?'. I told him I was still undecided, but I knew what I wanted to do so I went back in again and told Bill Jones I was going to sign.
"Bill later told me that, if I had asked for more, we wouldn't have done the deal because there was another 17-year-old in the first team on £12 10 shillings.
"I'm glad I ignored Sammy's advice, or I might never have had 13 seasons at Cardiff City."
Like all who have played for, watched and reported on Worcester City, however, it is St George's Lane that will be uppermost in their thoughts this weekend.
Peter King was talking to BBC Hereford & Worcester sports editor Trevor Owens
Mordor is the name of a fictional region nicknamed "Land of Shadow" in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books.
In addition, "Russians" was translated to "occupiers" and the surname of Sergey Lavrov, the country's Foreign Minister, to "sad little horse".
The errors had been introduced to Google Translate's Ukrainian to Russian service automatically, Google said.
The terms mirror language used by some Ukrainians following Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Screenshots of the erroneous translations have appeared on social networks in recent days.
"Google Translate is an automatic translator - it works without the intervention of human translators, using technology instead," said Google in its statement.
Although translations are managed automatically, it is possible for users to suggest alternative translations manually.
However, the BBC understands that this was not how the errors were introduced.
Google said that Translate worked by looking for patterns in hundreds of millions of documents but translation remained difficult as the meaning of words was tied to the context in which they were used.
"This means that not all translations are perfect, and there will sometimes be mistakes or mistranslations," the statement added.
"We always work to correct these as quickly as possible when they are brought to our attention."
The bug now appears to have been fixed.
Edinho, a former professional goalkeeper, was first arrested in 2005 over the charges, but appealed.
He remained free during the appeal but was sentenced in 2014 to 33 years.
The court has reduced that sentence to 12 years and 10 months, but ruled that he must be imprisoned while he appeals. Edinho denies all the charges.
As he arrived at a police station in the city of Santos, he said there was not a shred of evidence against him.
"I'm frustrated because I'm being massacred by the legal system," he said.
"I never had any involvement with money laundering."
Four other people have also been sentenced in the same case, including a man accused of controlling much of the drug trafficking in the Greater Santos region - Ronaldo Duarte Barsotti, known as Naldinho.
Edinho, whose real name is Edson Cholbi do Nascimento, admits that he once had a drug problem but says he has been clean for many years.
He played as goalkeeper in the 1990s for Santos, where his father spent all his professional career in Brazil.
He had been working as a manager of a small club in the state of Sao Paulo.
Pele, or Edson Arantes do Nascimento, retired in 1974, but made a comeback a year later for New York Cosmos.
Playing for Brazil, he won the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970 and was acclaimed as the greatest footballer of his generation.
Edinho was five when Pele was signed to play for Cosmos and the family moved to New York. He is now 46.
When he returned to Brazil he decided to pursue a career in professional football - as a goalkeeper, much to his father's surprise.
He was Santos's goalkeeper in 1995 when the team reached the Brazilian league final, losing the title to Botafogo.
His detention and alleged involvement with drug gangs took most people in Brazil by surprise.
Pele, who is now 76, went to visit his son several times in jail.
"God willing, justice will be done. There is not a shred of evidence against my son," he said in 2006.
This happened on Thursday during operations against al-Shabab militants about 64km (40 miles) west of the capital Mogadishu, near the town of Barii, the US military says.
Two other US service members were hurt.
US forces were on an "advise and assist" mission with the Somali National Army, the US military says.
American presidents have been wary of intervention in Somalia since 18 special forces soldiers died fighting militias in Mogadishu in 1993, a battle dramatised in the film Black Hawk Down.
However, President Donald Trump has expanded military action against the al-Qaeda affiliate in the Horn of Africa nation.
The situation in Iraq made US boots on the ground abroad a touchy subject but this sensitivity is even worse when the foreign soil is in Somalia. Memories of the disastrous Black Hawk Down in 1993 are still vivid in Washington.
The preferred approach today is to enable local forces to provide their own security.
The US has been providing training and advice to Somalia's special forces. This elite local group is expected to lead the fight against al-Shabab militants. For now, some of their operations are carried out with their US advisers alongside.
The wider Somali National Army has also been receiving US support. Last month dozens of American troops arrived in the country to train them. The UK and Turkey are also playing a similar role in this larger and more challenging task of building a sustainable Somali army.
US Africa Command spokeswoman Robyn Mack said the American "service member" had been struck by small arms fire.
Two other members of the US military wounded in the same incident were receiving "proper medical attention", she added.
A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a US Navy Seal had been killed, Reuters news agency reports.
In Thursday's mission, US troops were hunting an al-Shabab commander near the Shabelle river, the news agency reports.
In March, Mr Trump approved a Pentagon plan to escalate operations against al-Shabab, including additional air strikes.
Last month, dozens of American soldiers were deployed to Mogadishu to train and equip Somali and African Union troops.
It was the first time regular US troops had been sent to Somalia since 1994, though some counter-terrorism advisers were already there.
Analysts say the soldier killed on Thursday would not have been one of the soldiers recently sent to Somalia.
The students were protesting against a ruling by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The court curtailed the power of the opposition-controlled National Assembly to review government appointments of Supreme Court justices.
The clashes come at a time of rising tension between the opposition and the socialist government of President Nicolas Maduro.
The protesters set up roadblocks and threw stones at police, reporters at the scene said.
San Cristobal was where a wave of anti-governments protests started in 2014.
Forty-three people from both sides of the political divide were killed during the ensuing months in some of Venezuela's main cities.
Jose Vielma Mora, the governor of Tachira state, where San Cristobal is located, said that the protesters "use violence to support a National Assembly that wants to violate the rule of law".
The National Assembly was due to debate the government's nomination of 13 Supreme Court justices and 21 alternates on Tuesday.
Following legislative elections on 7 December, the National Assembly is controlled by lawmakers opposed to the socialist government for the first time in 17 years.
But before the new lawmakers were sworn in on 5 January, the outgoing lawmakers rushed through the nominations for the country's top court in specially convened sessions.
The opposition says the government stacked the court with judges friendly to the administration in order to curb the power of the National Assembly.
They accuse the court of overwhelmingly ruling in favour of the socialist government in the 17 years since it was first elected.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court said the National Assembly's power was limited to overseeing the executive, not the judiciary.
It said the National Assembly would therefore be overstepping its authority if it tried to remove Supreme Court justices or even review their appointments.
It is the latest in a series of stand-offs between the Supreme Court and the National Assembly since January, with the court ruling against the opposition in every instance.
Relations between the government and the opposition have been tense for years.
A number of opposition leaders are in jail on what they say are trumped-up charges while the government argues that they are dangerous individuals who incited deadly violence.
Opposition lawmakers say they plan to remove President Maduro from power by means of a recall referendum later this year.
Under the Venezuelan constitution such a referendum can be called once the president is half way into his term in office, which in Mr Maduro's case will be on 19 April.
An economic crisis brought about by low oil prices has triggered shortages of basic goods and caused widespread discontent with the government of Mr Maduro.
The president says the shortages are the result of an "economic war" waged against Venezuela by "imperialist forces".
Michael Dunn knocked through the wall behind his fridge at his house in Mottram, Greater Manchester to create a cavity to hide the runaway from police.
Teesside Crown Court heard the 57-year-old, from Redcar, raped and abused four girls over a period of decades.
His offences took place around the country.
More reaction to this story here
Greater Manchester Police has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) amid concerns opportunities to catch him were missed.
During the trial it emerged one of Dunn's victims had contacted police about the abuse in the 1990s but he persuaded witnesses to lie and the girl was told her complaint would not be taken further.
After Dunn's sentencing, his brother Robert Dunn said: "I think he deserved more than he got, the judge was very lenient considering he's got away with what he was doing for the best part of 40 years.
"I hope he never gets out."
Dunn was convicted in January of 10 rapes, false imprisonment and indecent assault.
One of his victims was aged just 10 or 11 when he first raped her.
Judge Tony Briggs said: "The history reveals you to be a devious, manipulative and controlling man with a strong urge to dominate."
The court had heard he was "paranoid, controlling and short tempered".
Prosecutors said his victims "suffered physically" if they challenged him and "he had sex when he wanted".
The court heard while living in Mottram, Dunn would use a bag of dust and a panel to cover the hole where one girl was kept, concealing her from police on eight or nine occasions and kept his two German Shepherd dogs nearby to put off police from looking too hard for her.
He knew she had already been the victim of sexual abuse, having been raped and beaten by another man.
Dunn, who also lived in Newcastle and Cambridgeshire, imprisoned a second female victim, subjecting her to repeated violence, and filled his house with cameras, locks and alarms, the court was told.
He also groomed and sexually assaulted another vulnerable under-age girl in the 1990s, giving her alcohol and cigarettes and raped another pre-teenage girl.
Alongside the rapes, Dunn was convicted of three charges of false imprisonment and three charges of indecent assault.
He was cleared of one charge of rape, one of making a threat to kill and one of causing grievous bodily harm.
Rod Hunt, defending, said Dunn was undergoing tests for cancer and partly blamed his client's violence and sexual offending on his alcoholism.
Det Sgt Dave Pettrick, of Cleveland Police, said: "Essentially, Dunn groomed several women and young girls, in some cases making them completely dependent on him, and carrying out sexual offences against all of them.
"Some of the victims were kept in line through Dunn's extreme violence or even through the fear of violence and he had complete and absolute control over their lives."
Children's charity the NSPCC said authorities should now "examine how Dunn was able to carry out this horrific campaign of abuse for so long".
A spokesman said: "Dunn used fear and intimidation to control his victims and forced them to keep silent for years. The repeated sexual abuse they suffered at his hands is truly sickening.
"Dunn is a danger to the public."
But turning your "killer app" or web service into a global giant attracting millions of users and stratospheric valuations is much more difficult.
Yes, we've had the likes of Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Uber, and Spotify, but the reality is that 90% of all early stage businesses fail, whether through lack of investment, customers or sales.
There are just 143 tech "unicorns" worldwide, according to research company CB Insights - defined as privately held tech start-ups worth more than $1bn (£650m) - and over half are based in the US.
So how do you build your own tech giant?
Clearly, every tech business begins with an idea.
Mark Zuckerberg dreamt up Facebook in his college dorm room and Chris Barton thought up Shazam, an app that recognises songs, in the bath.
But very few ideas actually come from "pure inspiration", says Ajay Chowdhury, partner and managing director of venture capital firm BCG Digital Ventures and former chairman of Shazam.
"What I call 'research' innovation is far more prevalent," he says. "This is where you're looking for pain points in an industry and saying how do we address those pain points."
In other words, what problem does your technology solve? What service does your tech provide that has never been provided before?
He gives the example of Airbnb, which tapped into the $550bn global hotel market by enabling people to rent out their spare rooms.
Its co-founder Brian Chesky once advised other tech entrepreneurs to "build something 100 people love, not something one million people kind of like."
Having a good idea is only part of the battle, though.
"People can come up with a great idea but it might not be a real business," says John Somorjai, executive vice president of Salesforce Ventures, an investment subsidiary of cloud-based sales and analytics platform, Salesforce.com.
"Before we invest we consider the size of the market opportunity, the quality of the management team and whether they are building customer traction."
Greg Wolf, of corporate finance house Widebridge Group, adds that an idea must also be "protectable".
This is because in many sectors there is only room for one market leader, particularly if you're targeting a consumer audience, he says.
"The software for social networking is pretty easy to build, but you don't see anyone displacing Facebook," he says.
"Similarly, there is only one really big e-commerce business in Amazon and one big search business with Google. It really can be a winner-takes-all game."
One major challenge for a fast-growing tech company is retaining its culture and values as the number of employees swells, says Zack Sabban, founder and chief executive of Festicket, a London-based start-up specialising in packaging music festival tickets with accommodation, travel and other services.
"If you have a strong company culture, people will be more independent, autonomous and entrepreneurial," he says.
"Keeping the same culture while you are tripling your team size, and therefore need more corporate processes in place, is very challenging."
Another related challenge is finding enough skilled people who share your vision for the company, says Chris Morton, co-founder and chief executive of online fashion platform, Lyst.
"If you hire great people, then good people will want to work for you; if you compromise then you won't be able to attract talent," he says.
Where you set up shop may also influence how successful you are.
More than 60% of today's biggest privately held start-ups are based in the US, with 23% in Asia and 13% in Europe, says CB Insights.
California's Silicon Valley still dominates the global tech scene, attracting "the world's best engineers and an abundance of capital", says Mr Wong. That concentration of money and skills produces "a lot of successful ideas," he says.
According to Dow Jones, European start-ups raised $8bn in venture capital in 2014 while US companies raised about $52bn.
Mr Chowdhury believes this is because investors in Europe are simply too risk averse.
"Historically, Europe's venture capital firms have been staffed by bankers and accountants and they are not usually risk-taking people.
"In the US, the investors have often been tech entrepreneurs and built successful companies, and they are more willing to take a chance on a new idea."
That's not to say you can't grow your own tech giant outside the US.
Skype, the internet phone and video company founded by a Dane and a Swede, was sold to Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5bn.
Sweden's music-streaming service, Spotify, is now valued at more than $8.5bn, while peer-to-peer payments firm TransferWise, founded by two Estonians, has processed about $3bn of payments to date.
And China's online retail phenomenon, Alibaba, now has a US stock market valuation of more than $210bn.
There's no shortage of funding for the right idea either, it seems. Lyst has raised $60m of investment over the last four years, while the younger Festicket has raised nearly $4m.
"Raising money hasn't been an issue," says Lyst's Mr Morton. "All of our money has come from fashion savvy cities like London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris."
US tech start-ups have the advantage of having a huge ready-made - and largely monolingual - market on their doorsteps. Non-US start-ups don't have that luxury - China notwithstanding.
"Companies really need to think globally from the start, but many do not," says Mr Wolf.
In 2013 - against the advice of some of his investors - Jens Wohltorf took the bold decision to expand his Berlin-based Uber-style taxi service, Blacklane, into 100 cities in 100 business days.
This meant automating a lot of processes, recruiting a lot of new drivers, and promoting the service in many new languages.
"These were all challenges we had to overcome," he says. "But the effort we put in to doing this paid off."
Blacklane now operates in 180 cities worldwide and has raised €25m ($27m; £18m) in venture capital funding.
But perhaps the best way to ensure your tech start-up blossoms into a tech giant is to resist selling out the moment Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple come knocking, chequebooks in hand.
Footage shows one group of men being beheaded on a beach and another group being shot in the head in a desert.
The victims are believed to be members of the Ethiopian Church seized in Libya by IS-linked militants.
The video is similar to previous ones posted by IS, including the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians in February.
The latest tape is 29 minutes long and bears the official logo of the media arm of IS. Its authenticity has not been independently verified.
In the video, a masked militant with a gun is seen making a statement threatening Christians if they do not convert to Islam or pay a special tax.
IS has in recent months published a number of videos apparently showing the killing of its hostages, drawing condemnation around the world.
The militants control large swathes of Iraq and Syria, but have also won the backing of jihadist groups across the Middle East and North Africa, including Libya.

Mr Bouteflika, 76, had a "transient ischemia" - a temporary blockage of a blood vessel often called a mini-stroke - an official told the APS news agency.
Doctors said on Sunday that he was "progressing well" and the damage was "not irreversible".
Mr Bouteflika is being treated at the Val de Grace military hospital.
It is commonly used by high-profile patients from France and beyond.
Mr Bouteflika's doctor, Rachid Bougherbal, said: "The transient ischemic attack did not last long and the condition is reversible. His state of health is progressing well."
Dr Bougherbal said Mr Bouteflika had "complete balance" and was "recovering some of the fatigue caused by the ailment".
Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal echoed Dr Bougherbal's assurances that there was no need for concern.
Mr Bouteflika, who makes few public appearances, underwent surgery in hospital in Paris several years ago.
Officially the problem was a stomach ulcer, but a leaked US diplomatic cable suggested he had cancer.
In spite of his age and apparently failing health, there are still those who believe Mr Bouteflika could stand for a fourth term in office in elections scheduled for next year.
He is part of an ageing leadership which has dominated Algerian politics since the country gained independence from France more than 50 years ago.
Of the 589 returning MPs, 122 have declared the employment of a relative in the latest Register of Members' Financial Interests.
None of the 61 new MPs who secured their seats at the general election on 8 June are allowed to do so.
Campaigners say there needs to be a clear end date for all MPs.
Announcing the ban in March, the parliamentary watchdog, Ipsa, said employing family members was "out of step" with modern employment practices, and would not be permitted for new MPs in the next Parliament.
It was brought in sooner than expected when Prime Minister Theresa May announced a snap general election. However, MPs who served in the previous Parliament were allowed to continue their existing employment arrangements with relatives.
Alexandra Runswick, the director of Unlock Democracy, which campaigns for voting reform, said: "The ban on new MPs employing family members reflects the public's concerns about nepotism and the potential abuse of public money.
"A transitional period is reasonable, particularly as the snap election means that these rules have come into force three years earlier than expected.
"However, there does need to be a clear end date. If MPs employing family members is wrong in principle then when the MP was first elected is irrelevant. While it is reasonable the current employees have some protection, it is important that we move to a situation where the rules apply equally to all MPs."

There was anger among MPs at the introduction in 2010 of a limit of one family member of staff in the wake of the expenses scandal.
Many argued that spouses were best able to handle the unpredictable work patterns, long hours and need for absolute trust associated with being an MP's secretary or assistant.
Ipsa said the crackdown was not due to any abuse of the rules or inappropriate claims, but that the need for transparency and good employment practice outweighed the benefits MPs found in hiring relatives.
Darren Hughes, the acting chief executive of the Electoral Reform Society, said it was fair to phase out the practice.
"Given the high rate of turnover of both MPs and staff, it is clear that within the next few electoral cycles it will apply to the vast majority of Parliamentary staff.
"Voters must be able to have confidence that our democracy is resourced in an open and transparent way, so it's welcome that Parliamentary authorities have taken steps to reform the system."
The data was scraped from official parliamentary registers.
The 54-year-old, the oldest sailor competing in Rio, and his compatriot won the Nacra 17 mixed category.
Lange was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and believes he owes his early diagnosis to the sport.
"Probably if I wasn't travelling so much and wasn't so tired it wouldn't have been found," he said.
"I was very lucky to find it.
"My philosophy and what I learned through the sport helped me a lot. With sailing you learn to suffer in a certain way, to go through hard times and stand up and keep pushing."
Lange teamed up with Carlos Espinola to win Olympic bronze in the Tornado in 2004 and 2008.
His sons Yago and Klaus will compete in the 49er skiff class in Rio.
Australia were second behind Lange and Saroli, with Austria third.
British pair Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves finished 18th in the medal race, and ninth overall.

Between 2013 and 2014, Paul Kelly directed donation money meant for flood victims to his partner's dance company, Leeds Crown Court heard.
The 55-year-old from Southwark, London, admitted seven charges of fraud at a previous hearing.
He was dismissed by Asda in September 2014 after an internal investigation.
The supermarket retailer said they were "incredibly disappointed" and expected the "highest standards of integrity from its colleagues".
An Asda spokesperson said: "We are pleased that our internal controls worked and respect the decision made by the court today.
"In 2015 we made an additional donation by way of a gift to the Asda Foundation so that none of the good causes it supports were financially disadvantaged as a result of this matter."
Det Insp Paul Hobson, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "We welcome the custodial sentence that Kelly has been given.
"He abused his position of trust to defraud a charity fund out of a large amount of money. We will now be seeking to recoup the stolen money."
The former deputy speaker of the House of Commons had a "reputation", Preston Crown Court was told.
The man said he dismissed the "drunken" incident and did not consider himself a victim, but agreed to make a statement when contacted by police last year.
Mr Evans, 56, denies one count of rape, two counts of indecent assault and six of sexual assault.
The charges relate to incidents involving seven men, between 2002 and 2013.
The alleged victim, who is openly gay, told the court that at first he thought Mr Evans was being tactile during the night out in 2002, but it was "not a sort of comedy squeeze".
He said at the time it was an "open secret" in Westminster that the politician was gay.
He told the jury they were out with friends when Mr Evans, then the shadow secretary of state for Wales, indecently assaulted him by putting his hand down his trousers at a pub called the Sanctuary on Greek Street in Soho.
"He had definitely been drinking, he was acting very drunk and I do remember he seemed to sober up quite quickly," he said.
Mark Heywood QC, prosecuting, asked the man when he became first aware of something untoward.
He said: "That some fingers had gone down my trousers. He had a reputation.
"I walked away rather than make a scene. I did not want him to think I was interested."
He told the court: "I was annoyed by it.
"I thought if I don't walk away I'm going to hit him."
The man said the MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire then put his hand down his trousers again, prompting the witness, then aged 27, to tell a friend: "I'm going to punch him."
He told the court: "She said, 'You can't do that - the shadow secretary of state for Wales'."
The witness said at the time the politician "was my friend, and I certainly forgave him for it because he was drunk."
"I have almost forgotten it," he said.
He confirmed he had socialised with Mr Evans since but had never discussed the matter.
Under cross examination from Peter Wright QC, defending, he told the jury he considered the matter at the time "as like a big joke".
"When I heard he had been arrested I could not believe it," he said. "I saw him in a corridor and he looked really dreadful."
"Not in a million years," did he consider it would have resulted in him appearing in court, he said.
The court also heard from another man who was allegedly indecently assaulted at the Conservative Party conference in Blackpool, Lancashire in 2003.
The man, a parliamentary worker at the time, said the thought of complaining to the police when the alleged assault happened had never occurred to him.
Last year when questioned by detectives he said he did not wish to make a complaint and only gave a statement as a witness so that his account was "on the record".
"To be honest I didn't think they were any grounds to be charged," he said.
"I would not have believed that six months on I would be standing in a witness box."
The events were said to have taken place in the Number 10 conference bar at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool in October 2003.
The witness told the court: "Mr Evans basically starting putting his hand on the top of my belt, on my waist line.
"After a couple of seconds I realised he was actually putting his hand across and putting his fingers down."
He said he was "very conscious" a journalist was nearby and quietly "batted" Evans's hand away.
The witness recalled speaking to a member of the Conservative Party Board about the incident who went over and moved Evans to a different group in the bar.
But within five minutes a "carbon copy" of the incident took place as Evans came over and "did the exact same thing again", he said.
He brought the matter to the attention of a prospective parliamentary candidate, now a MP, and a MEP, who led Evans to his room.
When he gave a statement to police, he said he considered that Evans's problem was with alcohol rather than with a "sexually aggressive personality".
He told the court: "At no point when looking back at it now did I see any malice or any sexual intent. It was an alcohol problem, as far as I see it."
He said he had not seen it as a police matter.
A month later when Michael Howard replaced Iain Duncan Smith as party leader, Mr Evans was removed as shadow secretary of state for Wales, the jury was told.
In the summer of 2009, Mr Evans tried to kiss another man he had met while drinking with others at the Strangers' Bar in the Houses of Parliament, jurors heard.
The man, then aged 21 or 22, told the court the MP called him over to a corridor area and pulled a curtain around him but he said "no" when Mr Evans tried to kiss him.
The court heard that when they returned to the group the witness told his friend who replied: "That's what Nigel can be like."
The man told police he did not believe Mr Evans had committed any offences.
Mr Evans resigned as deputy speaker after he was charged in September.
He has not returned to the Conservatives in the Commons and is representing his constituents as an independent.
The trial continues.
Now scientists think they know what causes one of life's knotty problems.
They found the force of a foot striking the ground stretches and then relaxes the knot, while a second force caused by the leg swinging acts on the ends of the laces, like an invisible hand.
The researchers say an understanding of shoelaces can be applied to other structures, such as DNA.
Using a slow-motion camera and a series of experiments, mechanical engineers at University California Berkeley found "shoelace knot failure" happens in a matter of seconds, triggered by a complex interaction of forces.
Lead researcher Christopher Daily-Diamond said: "When you talk about knotted structures, if you can start to understand the shoelace, then you can apply it to other things, like DNA or microstructures, that fail under dynamic forces.
"This is the first step toward understanding why certain knots are better than others, which no one has really done."
The study began with co-author and graduate student Christine Gregg lacing up a pair of running shoes and jogging on a treadmill while a colleague filmed what happened next.
They found that when running, your foot strikes the ground at seven times the force of gravity.
Responding to that force, the knot stretches and then relaxes.
As the knot loosens, the swinging leg applies an inertial force on the free ends of the laces, leading to rapid unravelling in as little as two strides.
Ms Gregg said: "To untie my knots, I pull on the free end of a bow tie and it comes undone.
"The shoelace knot comes untied due to the same sort of motion.
"The forces that cause this are not from a person pulling on the free end but from the inertial forces of the leg swinging back and forth while the knot is loosened from the shoe repeatedly striking the ground."
Scientists conducted tests with a variety of different laces.
But while some laces might be better than others for tying knots, they all suffered from the same fundamental cause of knot failure, the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A, found.
Ms Gregg added: "The interesting thing about this mechanism is that your laces can be fine for a really long time and it's not until you get one little bit of motion to cause loosening that starts this avalanche effect leading to knot failure." | Rafael Nadal beat a top-10 player for the first time this year as he saw off Kei Nishikori to reach the BNP Paribas Open semi-finals in Indian Wells.

The board, which also counts Tesla chief executive Elon Musk as a member, is due to meet the president on Friday.
Uber is one of several technology firms concerned over the impact of the immigration ban on its workforce.
The company said it had set up a $3m legal fund to help those affected.
These may include Uber's own drivers.
However, Elon Musk tweeted that he would attend Friday's meeting.
"Advisory councils simply provide advice and attending does not mean that I agree with actions by the Administration," he said.
"I and others will express our objections to the recent executive order on immigration and offer suggestions for changes to the policy."
For his part, Mr Kalanick had informed his employees earlier on Thursday about his decision.
In a memo to staff seen by the BBC he said: "Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the president or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.
"Earlier today I spoke briefly with the president about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community," he wrote.
Appearing frustrated with how his involvement was being interpreted in the press, Mr Kalanick added: "The implicit assumption that Uber (or I) was somehow endorsing the Administration's agenda has created a perception-reality gap between who people think we are, and who we actually are."
The move was backed by the Independent Drivers Guild which represents Uber drivers in New York.
"This is an important show of solidarity with the immigrant drivers who helped build Uber and number over 40,000 in New York City alone," said the group's founder, Jim Conigliaro.
"We are heartened that Uber has listened to the drivers and the community on this important issue that is so integral to the promise of the American dream."
Uber has come in for some heavy criticism since President Trump's election.
Over last weekend, as protesters gathered at several US airports, Uber appeared to defy a taxi strike by removing surge pricing - the mechanism by which prices go up on the service when demand is high.
A social media campaign to "#DeleteUber" quickly went viral.
However, Uber said it had not been its intention to break the strike, and was looking to help people reach the airport without paying higher fares.

The EU says the sanctions, targeting more Russian individuals, will come in on Monday but could be later suspended if Russia withdraws troops from eastern Ukraine and observes a current truce.
Friday's ceasefire appears to be largely holding - but there were reports of shootings by both sides.
Some 2,600 people have died since a pro-Russian rebellion began in April.
The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement: "As for the new list of sanctions from the European Union, if they are passed, there will undoubtedly be a reaction from our side."
The fresh sanctions would add another 24 people to the list of people barred from entering the EU and whose assets have been frozen.
Among them would be the rebel leadership in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, officials in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March, and Russian "decision-makers and oligarchs", European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said in a statement.
Analysis: BBC business correspondent Theo Leggett
The new sanctions are intended to ramp up economic pressure on Russia. They are designed to make it much harder for state-owned energy and defence companies to borrow money on European financial markets, building on existing measures which target Russian banks.
A ban on selling so-called dual use goods, such as machinery or computing equipment which can be used for both civilian and military purposes is to be extended, while a further 24 people will be added to a list of individuals who are banned from travel within Europe and whose assets in the region are frozen.
The Russian foreign ministry said the EU was "practically sending a signal of direct support to the 'party of war' in Kiev".
Its statement added: "Instead of feverishly searching for ways to hurt the economies of its own countries and Russia, the European Union would do better to work on supporting the economic revival of the Donbas region."
There were no reports of major fighting in the east overnight.
However, the spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, Andriy Lysenko, said the rebels had fired 10 times on Ukrainian troops since the truce.
Unconfirmed reports also say a number of fighters from Ukraine's Aydar battalion were ambushed and killed after the ceasefire.
The BBC's Richard Galpin in Donetsk said he had not heard any of the heavy artillery barrages that took place before the truce while the BBC's Fergal Keane tweeted from Mariupol, further south, that the ceasefire was holding there.
A BBC crew that travelled to Donetsk airport on Saturday morning heard a few gunshots and small explosions but residents said the night had been quiet.
Meanwhile, the rebel leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, said the truce was "not being fully observed".
Under the terms of the ceasefire, both sides pledge to withdraw heavy weapons from the eastern battlefields as soon as possible.
Russia also agreed with Ukraine to restart humanitarian assistance to the eastern region.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the deal was based on a 12-point peace plan that included the release of "hostages".
He said there should also be talks about a long-term solution to the conflict.
Ukrainian forces had until recently been making gains against the rebels but in the past few weeks the pro-Russian fighters have struck back.
Ukraine and the West reported military columns crossing from the Russian border.
Meanwhile, Malaysian PM Najib Razak said he wanted to send a search team to eastern Ukraine "before winter sets in" to gather evidence about the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
A total of 298 people died when the plane came down over eastern Ukraine on 17 July, amid reports it was shot down by pro-Russian rebels.
Mr Najib called it an "atrocious crime".
Batsman Pietersen is back at The Oval as he bids to return to the England set-up while Sri Lanka star Sangakkara has joined on a two-year deal.
"There aren't too many players who can class themselves as greats of the game," Batty, 37, told BBC London.
"We have two this year in Kumar and Kevin. It is a coup for the club."
Left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Sangakkara is currently top of the International Cricket Council Test batting rankings and second in the ODI standings, having retired from ODI cricket at the end of the World Cup.
The 37-year-old become the first player to score four consecutive hundreds in the 50-over game at the World Cup.
Pietersen, discarded by England after the Ashes whitewash in Australia in early 2014, has returned to county cricket in a bid to force his way back into the national side - and scored 170 on his return for Surrey against Oxford MCCU.
Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart and Batty believe the duo will provide inspiration for the rest of the squad as Surrey eye promotion from Division Two.
"Kumar is the number one player in the world and to have someone of his stature is great," Stewart said.
"Kevin is another great asset but what is important is we don't just rely on two people or so. There is a talented dressing room and young players developing nicely.
"Our players will learn so much from them and that will continue."
Batty added: "Ultimately whether they are on the team sheet or not, it is down to the other guys to not be distracted by it and rise up to their levels."
Batty wants Surrey, who finished fifth in the second division table in 2014, to fulfil their potential this season.
"We are a club with huge history and we have a lot of talent in the changing room," the spinner said.

"Talent counts for nothing - it is about wins and points. Hopefully by the end of the year, if we keep striving hard, we will be where we want to be.
"If we get to near the end of the season and there are chances for winning promotion, the league or cups then we are doing something right."
Surrey begin their Division Two campaign against Glamorgan in Cardiff on Sunday.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he did not want a "Vegemite watch".
Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion had earlier described the salty spread as a "precursor to misery", according to local media.
But Mr Abbott said for most people Vegemite, made from brewers' yeast extract, was "reasonably nutritious".
"This is a deregulatory government and the last thing I want to do is to have a Vegemite watch," Mr Abbott on Sunday told local media .
A Queensland newspaper had reported that Vegemite was being made into alcohol in large quantities in some remote Indigenous communities.
Mr Scullion was quoted saying the spread was being bought in bulk to make moonshine.
"Businesses in these communities... have a responsibility to report any purchase that may raise their own suspicions," he said.
The minister added that in some cases, children were failing to turn up to school because they were too hung-over, and that Vegemite was an increasingly common factor in domestic violence cases.
But Dr John Boffa of the People's Alcohol Action Coalition, who is based in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, said the problem was not widespread.
"We're talking about an isolated problem in a couple of communities around a very large nation, and a nation where there is a very large number of Aboriginal communities, and every community is different," he told the BBC.
Patrick O'Connell is revered at the Catalan club and credited as the man who saved them from extinction during the Spanish Civil War.
O'Connell, their manager at the time, helped organise a money-spinning tour to Mexico and the US.
He will be inducted into the club's hall of fame on Wednesday night.
The Dubliner, who also captained Manchester United during his football career, died in poverty in London and lies in an unmarked grave.
In August, a mural was unveiled in west Belfast in honour of O'Connell, known as 'Don Patricio' in Barcelona.
His grandson Michael will be at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night where Patrick will be honoured ahead of a Barcelona La Liga match against Real Betis - another team his grandfather managed.
Michael O'Connell said Patrick had largely been forgotten about in the UK and Ireland until his wife started to research him.
"She discovered that between 1920 and 1950 his was the most famous name in Spanish football," he said.
"Tonight Barcelona are playing Real Betis and Grandfather Patrick managed both teams.
"He managed Betis the only time they ever won La Liga and he managed Barcelona for the three years of the Spanish Civil War."
Mr O'Connell, who said he was very proud of his grandfather, said he got an idea of how famous he was when he visited a bar in Seville (home of Real Betis).
"The barman said 'are you on holiday?' and I said 'no we're researching my grandfather who used to manage Real Betis'," he said.
"He said 'wait a minute', ran upstairs in the bar and came back down with a painting of my grandfather as big as himself that he had on his wall downstairs.
"He was as famous as that."
The West Sussex home of the WI's first chairman and its training college in Oxfordshire are to be relisted on the National Heritage List for England.
Their listings will now mention the WI.
The listed statuses of The Fox Inn in Charlton, West Sussex, where the first WI meeting was held exactly 100 years ago, and for an early WI building in Northumberland are also being updated.
On 9 November 1915 the first meeting of the institute in England took place in the backroom of the Fox Inn. The pub, near Goodwood, is now called the Fox Goes Free and the room where the meeting was held is known as the Hat Rack Bar.
The Fox innkeeper at the time, a Mrs Laishley, was a founder member of the Women's Institute.
The National Heritage List for England gives protection to the most important parts of the country's building heritage.
The four buildings were already listed, but now their links to the WI will be included in their descriptions on the National Heritage list.
Balcombe Place in West Sussex was the home of the WI's first chairman, Lady Gertrude Denman, from 1905 until her death in 1954.
Marcham Park, in Oxfordshire, later renamed Denman College, was the WI's first training college and taught skills such as butchery and garage work.
Also to be relisted is the Mechanics Institute in Newbrough in Northumberland. The building was given to the local WI in 1948 and talks, including on how to truss a fowl or re-upholster chairs, were given there, the Fourstones and Newbrough website says.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe, the Culture, Media and Sport Minister, said: "Since their first meeting in England in 1915, the WI has become a much-loved British institution.
"I am very pleased to relist these special places and preserve the historic significance of this extraordinary social movement."
Esther Godfrey, listing adviser at Historic England, said: "These four buildings tell the story of the formation and development of the WI in England from a small meeting in the back room of a pub to a thriving national institution."
Monetary Policy Committee member Ms Forbes said a rate hike took between one and two years to take full effect.
As a result, rates would need to rise "well before" inflation hit the Bank's 2% target, she said.
Her comments, in a column in The Telegraph, suggest interest rates could rise sooner than currently expected.
"Waiting too long would risk undermining the recovery - especially if interest rates then need to be increased faster than the gradual path which we expect," she warned.
Ms Forbes, who joined the nine-strong MPC committee responsible for setting interest rates in July last year, said keeping interest rates at their current historic low of 0.5% risks "creating distortions".
But she said that the pound's continuing strength, together with recent falls in energy and commodity prices, would keep inflation low for longer, and gave the MPC "a bit more time".
"There is no need to act before we are confident that inflation is heading back toward 2% within about two years as expected," she added.
Her comments come less than a week after fellow MPC member David Miles said said there were arguments for starting "the journey now" towards a rate hike.
Earlier this month, MPC members voted 8-1 to keep rates on hold - the first time for months the decision has not been unanimous, and together with the comments from Mr Miles and Ms Forbes - suggest that the balance is shifting.
Bank of England governor Mark Carney has said that when rates start to rise, they will do so only gradually.
At a news conference last month he said the timing for a Bank rate increase is "drawing closer", but cannot "be predicted in advance". The decision would be determined by looking at economic data, he added, including wage growth, productivity and import figures.
Several economists interpreted Mr Carney's comments, and information in the Bank's recent Inflation Report, as a signal that any rate rise was likely to be put back from the end of this year until early 2016.
Ms Forbes said it was not possible to predict an exact date for an interest rate hike, and that the MPC would first require more evidence that inflation was heading towards its 2% target.
Comparing the risks to the economy to the dangers of sunburn in hot weather, she warned it was important to avoid the temptation to stay outside all day.
"Linger too long in the sun and your skin may take on a slightly pink glow".
"Enjoy the sunshine and low inflation this holiday season. But remember that neither are likely to persist. Stay vigilant against sunburn," she wrote.
You might assume trees tend to produce their seeds in the autumn, season of mellow fruitfulness and all that.
But in fact some trees choose to produce and drop seeds much earlier in the year, in the spring. Most notably the willow and the less familiar aspen.
These are usually solitary trees and their Latin name Populus tremula gives a clue to their appearance.
They have leaves that flutter and tremble in the breeze in a way which looks a bit like a wagging tongue.
Indeed some people call them wagging tongue trees, or even mother-in-law tongue trees.
But aspen present a bit of a problem for a company like Forestart.
The company aim to gather seeds from all sorts of different aspens from all over the country, then grow a nursery of trees that can interbreed and so produce stronger, more genetically diverse saplings in the future.
Trees that have more chance of being resistant to diseases that are arriving here in the UK thanks to imports, travel and a warming climate.
The problem with aspen is it isn't that bothered about producing seeds for much of its life.
Instead it sends up tiny suckers through the ground around the tree. Any of these could grow and become a new tree, genetically identical to the parent; a clone.
Much older trees do produce seeds, but given the solitary nature of the tree you end up with a potential seed supply scattered all over the country.
It's not very useful if your company's job is collecting seeds.
As a quick sidebar though, the fact these trees effectively clone themselves means when you see an aspen, it could well be the clone of a tree that's stood in roughly the same spot for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years.
Certainly the one Rob Lees, from Forestart, showed me in a hedge near Ellesmere could have been around as far back as 1403, witnessing the nearby Battle of Shrewsbury.
So cloning is useful for longevity, but rubbish for seeds.
The team at Forestart are trying an experiment to put aspens under stress to make them produce seeds.
Aspens like fairly wet conditions and one thought is at some point in their history they would have shared the landscape with beaver populations.
The beavers would level trees around the aspen and also have a good go at the bark of the aspen themselves. This creates stress, which produces seeds to take advantage of the newly cleared ground.
We spent a pleasant afternoon in the sunshine replicating the effect of a beaver on a small group of aspen trees.
Unlike the beaver and, for the sake of my teeth, we chose to use a small saw and chisel to strip out a line of bark almost circling the tree trunk.
The idea is the nutrients produced by the leaves will mostly be trapped above the line we removed and that will produce a bumper crop of seeds.
We'll find out in 12 months' time if this group of aspens, which have only flowered once in more than 20 years, have taken a turn for the seed producing.
For Forestart though, this is the start of seed season.
They will follow the aspen and willow seeds up the country as they come into seed over the next few weeks.
Then it's on to the native cherry and so it goes throughout the year right into autumn.

The Creative Industries Federation has set out a series of concerns about the UK's departure from the European Union.
It said British artists may have to spend more time and money on items like visas for tours if freedom of movement rules are tightened.
The federation also raised fears about areas like funding and copyright.
Federation founder Sir John Sorrell said the creative industries were "a key driver of wealth and global success" for the UK.
He said: "To imperil that would be to imperil our wider economy.
"That is why we need to be at the heart of the new government's industrial strategy and negotiating priorities in coming months."
The federation has published a report sketching out the possible impact of the UK's departure from the EU, based on contributions from almost 500 of its members.
It pointed to Cardiff-based NoFit State Circus, which said it cost £46,000 more for 13 people to tour the US compared with the EU, because of costs including visas, carnets for touring equipment and medical insurance.
And the Manchester International Festival cautioned that restrictions on movement could put European artists off coming to the UK.
"The increased cost of entering the UK to work may discourage many international acts from performing at the festival, reducing its quality and potentially, therefore, both its revenue streams and resultant spend within the local economy," the federation reported.
The federation also said:
Federation chief executive John Kampfner said: "This is the fastest growing sector of the UK economy and includes all the things that Britain is famous for - from our music to our films, television and heritage.
"We want to work with government to safeguard the jobs, the revenues and the prestige the creative sector offers."
In response, Department for Exiting the EU Minister Robin Walker said the creative industries are "a vital and growing part of the UK economy and they play a powerful role in shaping the UK's image and reputation abroad".
He added: "We want to work with our creative industries to help seize the exciting opportunities that will flow from a new place for Britain in the world."

George Clark, 19, admitted causing the parrot unnecessary harm in Aberdeen.
He also admitted assaulting his mother and ripping a door off its hinges before throwing it through a window.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court previously heard that Clark had taken legal highs and alcohol and did not remember the events.
Sheriff Alison Stirling said: "Given your behaviour, in that you threw a parrot in a cage about, you are not an animal lover.
"You're a danger to animals."
Clark will be under supervision for 12 months and will have to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work in the community.
The incident happened at his mother's home in the early hours of 1 January.

Earlier Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said the section between Chester Road and Hatton Road would be closed while crews worked to secure the building.
The badly damaged house is opposite a field which often has a smiley face cut into the grass.
Gaynor Lewis's husband Haydn died in 2010 after he was given contaminated blood products.
MPs were discussing the scandal, which affected thousands of people between the 1970s and the early 1990s.
Tory MP Alistair Burt said Mrs Lewis wanted the matter resolved so her husband could "rest in peace".
Around 7,500 people were treated with NHS blood products now known to have been infected with HIV and/or hepatitis C, according to an all-party report published on Wednesday.
MPs debating the report on Thursday heard that no full-scale public inquiry had ever been held and several called for the families affected to be compensated.
Cardiff Central Liberal Democrat MP Jenny Willott - the Lewis family's local MP - said: "Entire families have been affected by this terrible scandal."
She added that Mr Lewis's brother had also died after being infected.
Mr Burt, Conservative MP for North East Bedfordshire, said: "Haydn's wife wrote to a friend of mine and said, 'I would dearly like to see an end to the campaigning and put this issue to bed. There needs to be an apology.'
He said the letter continued: "I want to go to Haydn's grave and say once and for all it's sorted - then I will know that he's resting in peace."
Newport East Labour MP Jessica Morden raised the case of a boy treated for an ear condition when eight months old who died at the age of seven suffering from HIV and hepatitis C.
Ms Morden said a public apology was long overdue and it was time for a final settlement.
UK Health Minister Jane Ellison told MPs that "these events have already been repeatedly examined in a number of different ways".
But she acknowledged that there was scope to review the current support system, saying "the government must do right for those people on behalf of whom so many members have spoken today".
Thames Valley Police are investigating the separate attacks, which involved a 17-year-old and a 28-year-old.

About 90,000 people attended the three-day festival. Police received 117 reports of crimes, a 20% drop on the previous year.
The narcotics were found on a merchant vessel, and were worth almost $550m (£420m), a statement from the coastguard said.
Navy spokesman D K Sharma described it as "the largest single haul of narcotics to date".
The vessel has now been taken to the western city of Porbandar.
India is part of a transit route in the lucrative drug smuggling trade, due to its proximity to Afghanistan, which is the world's largest producer of opium - the main ingredient in heroin.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime says large shipments of Afghan heroin are smuggled across the Indian Ocean to east and southern Africa.
India has a serious heroin problem in the northern state of Punjab.
A study suggests that more than 860,000 men between the ages of 15 and 35 there take some form of drugs, with heroin afflicting 53% of addicts.

The 315p-a-share offer represents a 70% premium to Wireless Group's share price at the close of trade on Wednesday.
Talksport owns radio and digital audio broadcasting rights for the Premier League and FA Cup.
News Corp owns the Times and Sun newspapers, the Dow Jones wire service and publishing company HarperCollins.
"We look forward to welcoming Wireless into News Corp's global family of businesses," said News Corp's chief executive, Robert Thomson.
"With its strength in radio, as well as its digital and international growth potential, Wireless will help improve the engagement of our publishing brands, especially those within News UK."
Wireless Group owns a host of other radio stations in Great Britain and Ireland. Its executive chairman, Richard Huntingford, described the deal with News Corp, whose executive chairman is Rupert Murdoch, as "an excellent outcome for all Wireless stakeholders".
He added: "The introduction of a new player with the stature and global media experience of News Corp will be a major boost for the UK and Irish commercial radio industry."
Monsignor Kevin McAuliffe was convicted of taking $650,000 (£424,000) away from his congregation to support his gambling habit.
Defence lawyers asked for probation so McAuliffe could keep practising as a priest and get addiction counselling.
But the judge added four months to the sentence that prosecutors pushed for.
Prosecutors argued McAuliffe was able to hide his activities because he was a signatory to the financial statements of the Las Vegas diocese and the archdiocese in San Francisco.
In his defence, his lawyer argued that McAuliffe had begun returning the money to his parish since May and had paid back $13,420 to date.
In October, McAuliffe pleaded guilty to three counts of mail fraud and falsifying documents sent to the archdiocese in 2008, 2009 and 2010. He was also removed from his Las Vegas parish and stripped of duties to the diocese.
Supporters sobbed in the courtroom as the judge told McAuliffe he had abused his position of trust within the church community.
McAuliffe offered a remorseful apology, the Associated Press reported, saying he felt "guilt, shame and self-loathing''.
He accepted his loss of authority within the Church and asked for leniency so he could make restitution.
He could have received up to 60 years in prison.
Organisers said about 3,000 people took part in the demonstration in the city centre, ahead of a UN summit in Paris on Monday.
The march began at Castle Park and finished on College Green, where a rally then took place.
It was one of hundreds of marches taking place around the world on the eve of the summit.
Mayor George Ferguson, who attended the rally, said: "Bristol is doing more than any other city in the world in 2015 to promote the things we have to do to tackle the climate.
"This march is saying a relatively small city like Bristol can have thousands of people coming out onto the streets because they care deeply about this issue.
"This isn't just about climate, it's also about justice and poverty, and those things unite people from all persuasions."
The COP21 conference in Paris will try to craft a long-term deal to limit carbon emissions.
Alan Bennett, 34, killed Lynne Freeman, 46, before stabbing Jodie Betteridge 132 times in front of their three children in Redcar on 23 March.
Bennett, of Lingholme, Redcar, admitted both murders when he appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
When arrested, he said: "I have done what had to be done."

Double killer had history of violence
Bennett and Ms Freeman had been out drinking together in several pubs in Redcar town centre on the day of the attacks.
Witnesses reported them arguing on the bus home with Bennett raising his voice several times.
Bennett was heard telling Ms Freeman: "Wait until I get you home, I'll get your attention."
At about 20:45 Bennett called the police to Ms Freeman's home on Mapleton Crescent where they found her with 13 stab wounds to her neck and chest.
Seven minutes later, Ms Betteridge, 30, who had been in a relationship with Bennett from 2005 to 2014, was attacked at her home on Byland Close, first inside the house then in the garden.
She suffered injuries to her legs, arms, face, neck and torso with the killing witnessed by their three young children.
Thirty of the blows were to her head and, had she survived, she would have been left significantly disfigured.
The knife, which was used for both attacks, snapped during the murder of Ms Betteridge.
Neighbours were shouting and screaming during the attack and described Bennett as being like a "crazed maniac".
Bennett was arrested at the scene and told police: "I have done what had to be done."
Bennett started a relationship in early 2015 with Ms Freeman but had known her before then.
While they did not live with each other, they did spend a lot of time in each other's company, often staying over at their respective addresses.
Cleveland Police said domestic incidents involving Bennett and both women had previously been reported.
Tim Roberts QC, defending, said his client had pleaded guilty to the murders at the first reasonable opportunity.
Bennett had a mental illness, he said, but it was not severe enough to allow him to claim a defence of diminished responsibility.
Mr Roberts added: "He has not had the normal capacity of self-restraint which a healthy individual would possess."
Judge Simon Bourne-Arton said Bennett had sent him a "self-pitying" letter in which he claimed he still loved both women and had made a "monumental mistake".
However, he told Bennett: "There was no mistake about it, it was quite deliberate by you."
He sentenced him to two life sentences and said he must serve a minimum term of 32 years and 233 days before he will be considered eligible for parole.
After the sentencing, Det Sgt Peter Carr from Cleveland Police said: "Without doubt Bennett acted in cold blood as he attacked both Lynne and Jodie, his phone call to police as he walked away from the fatal attack on Lynne is particularly chilling and detached.
"Emergency services arrived to a scene of unprecedented horror."
A statement from Ms Betteridge's family said: "Jodie was kind to everyone; she lived for her children as they were the most important people in her life and now she won't be able to see them grow up. Jodie will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed by all who knew her."
Ms Freeman's family said: "Someone who she loved, trusted and was meant to feel protected by took everything from her, her life, everything she had to look forward to, everyone she selflessly helped and we have been deprived of sharing her life with her.
"The sentencing is a fraction of what he actually deserves; jail will never be good enough for what he has done."
"The person who lit up a room as she walked in, the loving way she helped others and in return expected nothing, her infectious laugh and personality, the amazing person who selflessly volunteered to give back into the community, is the person she should be remembered for- and not the events that took place that night."
Coleman was given a two-game suspended sentence by the ECB in August 2013 for attempting to alter the condition of the ball after sucking a Murray Mint.
But he fell foul again in this week's Second XI Championship match at York.
He has been suspended for limited-over games on Friday and Saturday.
Umpires Steve Garratt and Ian Marland reported the 23-year-old Scotland international for the offence of "showing dissent at an umpire's decision by word or action", a Level One breach of the code, during the game against Yorkshire.
Coleman's punishment two summers ago, for a Level Two breach of the code, was three penalty points and a suspended two-match ban.
That suspension now comes into effect, ruling him out of the Bears' final T20 Blast North Group game with Yorkshire at Headingley and the One-Day Cup game against Nottinghamshire at Welbeck Colliery on Saturday.
Elizabeth Mulcahy, from Llandaff, had faced six counts of indecent assault against a female under the age of 13.
It was claimed the offences took place in the late 1970s and early 1980s but she described the allegations as "total lies".
After a week-long trial at Cardiff Crown Court, a jury found her not guilty on all counts.
The fire at the former St Kevin's Hospital in Shanakiel has been brought under control.
It is understood a fisherman on the River Lee raised the alarm at about 20:00 local time on Tuesday.
An investigation has started into the cause of the blaze. RTÉ reports that the five-storey Victorian building was built in 1895 to house 490 patients.
It has been the scene of a number of incidents of vandalism since it became derelict.
But a chicken owner in America says he dyed his two birds pink "to make people smile".
The brightly coloured chickens were spotted on the loose in Portland, Oregon, and taken in by an animal shelter.
Bruce Whitman came forward to claim the birds, saying he used food colouring, beetroot juice and Kool-Aid (a brand of flavoured drink from America) on them.
He tucked the chickens into a tree and thought he'd collect them later, not expecting the prank to go this far.
Multnomah County Animal Services said: "Our animal control officer had a gentle but firm discussion about allowing the chickens to wander, then sent them all home."
The shelter added: "Although the food coloring [sic] is benign and not harmful to the chicks, animal welfare organizations [sic] generally do not condone the practice."
Ministry of Justice figures show £20,918.74 was spent on safety improvements at one judge's house in 2014/15, the Press Association found.
Security at the homes of three judges was upgraded the following year, at a cost of £3,393.93.
A survey of judges found 51% feared for their safety while in court.
The Judicial Attitude Survey, which is released every two years, also found that 48% of female judges and 35% of male judges feared for their safety out of court.
The figures were released after a number of High Court and Supreme Court judges faced criticism when they ruled that Parliament must get a vote on the triggering of Article 50 to leave the EU.
One family and civil court judge told the Press Association that death threats and threats of hostage-taking and physical assault had become common.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said a man who had his children taken away from him threatened to kill her and attempted to smuggle a knife into court.
She said the threats were so severe that police went to her home and spoke to neighbours to ensure she had a safety plan in place.
"The level of threats is getting worse. Incidents are common and the authorities are not even recording them," the judge said.
She added that judges were being routinely left in small rooms with both the accuser and the defendant without security or court clerks.
Almost a quarter of the most senior judges in England and Wales expressed concerns over safety online on websites like Facebook and Twitter.
Co-director of the UCL Judicial Institute, Prof Cheryl Thomas, said government cuts in legal aid had increased the number of people who were not represented by a lawyer.
"So as we have more and more people who need to go to court to resolve difficult, stressful, emotional family breakdown issues, who may not have access to lawyers to represent them, you have warring parties fighting it out in court," she added.
"And that places much greater security concerns on judges in court."
The World War Two planes will drop more than 200,000 poppies following a service at the Tank Museum in Bovington on Remembrance Sunday.
The flowers will be cast from the vintage bi-planes as they fly past during the two-minute silence.
The service at the museum will be open to members of the public.
Former Fleet Air Arm pilot Kevin Crumplin, who owns and restores the planes, said it was unusual to see the three Tiger Moths flying in formation.
"We would normally fly two together, or just one.
"It will be the first time we do a poppy drop."
Mr Crumplin said he was happy to organise the flypast, which had been at the request of the Army.
Current Race to Dubai leader McIlroy's seven-under 65 moved him to 15 under as England's Andy Sullivan fired a 68 to stay one ahead after three rounds.
Danny Willett, second in the rankings, is sharing sixth spot on 11 under.
McIlroy must finish ahead of Willet in the Dubai event to retain his order of merit lead over the Englishman.
Justin Rose's hopes of lifting the Race to Dubai title appear to be over after a dismal 78 dropped him 15 behind Sullivan.
World number three McIlroy has a lead of only 1,613 points over Willett, with Rose more than 600,000 points further back and needing to finish second or better to have any chance of taking the end-of-season crown.
Overnight leader Sullivan, the only player to win three times on the European Tour this season, holed a 10-foot par putt on the last to retain his advantage after over-clubbing with his wedge approach shot.
McIlroy began the third round four shots behind Sullivan but surged to the top of the leaderboard with eight birdies and one bogey in 15 holes at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
His three successive birdies from the 13th saw him take the outright lead for the first time but he failed to take a number of other chances including a missed four-footer at the last as Sullivan picked up shots at the 15th and 17th to regain the advantage.
McIlroy was left frustrated by his missed putt at the 18th after a day of outstanding ball-striking.
"You can't walk off this golf course having shot seven under and not feel too good about yourself but I felt like the round could have been a lot better," said the world number three.
"But I'm playing lovely and I'm in the position where I want to be going into tomorrow."
Despite all his successes in recent years, including four major triumphs, McIlroy insisted that a third Race to Dubai title would be important to him.
"It's my last round of the season and I want to make the most of it," added the 26-year-old.
"I would love to finish the year on a high by winning the Race to Dubai and more importantly, win this tournament."
Sullivan, cheered on by 30 supporters from his club in Nuneaton, insisted that he was looking forward to battling with McIlroy on Sunday.
"There's no pressure on me. I'm not expected to win," said Sullivan, 28.
"I'm going to go out and play golf and enjoy watching the (former) world number one play golf."
Willet's order of merit title hopes appeared to be fading after a slow start to his round but a 30-foot eagle putt on the 15th helped him play his final five holes in four under.
"I don't think we are going to see Rory coming backwards so we need to shoot a good round tomorrow and see what happens," said Willett.
Proposals for the Cairngorms include affordable hoursing, increasing woodland, restoring peatland and investing in walking routes on Deeside and Speyside.
The park covers parts of the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Perthshire, Angus and Moray.
The plan was launched by Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham.
She said: "Scotland's national parks conserve and enhance our rich natural and cultural heritage, while supporting the sustainable development local communities want and need.
"That's why I am delighted to launch the Cairngorms plan, which sets out how that balance will be achieved between now and 2022, and which has been developed in full consultation with those same communities."
The 4,528 sq km park is twice the size of the Lake District National Park and bigger than the whole of Luxembourg.
A target to have 200 new affordable homes built by 2022 and delivering superfast broadband to "hard to reach" parts of the park also form part of the five-year plan.
On a visit to the Cairngorms, Ms Cunningham also viewed the Still, an arts installation that acts as a marker on Snow Roads Scenic Route at Tomintoul.
The route runs from Blairgowrie to Grantown on Spey via Braemar and Tomintoul and forms the highest public road in Britain, according to the Cairngorms National Park Authority.
The strike followed a dispute with pilots over plans to expand the group's budget subsidiary Transavia.
The airline's pilot strike, which was the longest in 20 years, offset the benefits of lower fuel prices.
Earnings fell €266m (£172m) to €1.598bn, with the September's strike costing it €495m in lost revenue.
Air France-KLM also said it had been hit by the weaker euro, while overcapacity on routes to Asia, Latin America and Africa had weighed on ticket prices.
Revenues fell 2.4% to €24.91bn, despite a 1.3% increase in passenger numbers.
The airline group said it planned to cut investment by €300m euros a year in 2015 and 2016.
"With the way we see the market developing, except for the North Atlantic, we are being very, very cautious," said chief executive Alexandre de Juniac.
Shares in Air France-KLM fell almost 6% in early morning trading.
Aviation analyst Norman Gage, from New Generation Technology, told the BBC that there were "differences of opinion toward the top levels" between the Air France and KLM sides of the business over how to progress with a low-cost service.
Mr Gage said that in comparison to existing low-cost carriers such as Easyjet, Air France-KLM was "struggling".
He added: "The low cost carriers who have started up more recently are much quicker on their feet and have a much better basic structure to work from."
The crash happened on the B9170 Inverurie to Oldmeldrum road at about midday on Sunday.
The woman, who was driving one of the cars, died in hospital. The road was closed for six hours to allow an investigation to be carried out. Police are appealing for witnesses.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them. | Travis Kalanick, the chief executive of ride-sharing service Uber, has stepped down from President Donald Trump's economic advisory group after strong criticism from staff and the public.
