The Scottish Secretary faced protests at the event in Dumfries last week.
Mr Arkless has complained to the Speaker and Cabinet Office about the actions of the Conservative MP for the neighbouring constituency.
However, a spokesman for Mr Mundell said he had complied with rules and notified him of the engagement.
Mr Arkless said he believed the MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale may have broken the ministerial code in relation to accepted behaviour of MPs.
He said House of Commons speakers had repeatedly instructed that MPs intending to perform a public engagement in another member's constituency should inform them and "proper notice" should be given.
He said the only notification he had received was a "panicky" email one hour before the event.
He claimed it was a "clear breach" of House of Commons rules and potentially the ministerial code.
A spokesman for Mr Mundell said he had complied with the regulations.
"David made the visit as a constituency MP to a shared facility covering both constituencies," he said.
"He fully complied with the House of Commons rules by formally notifying neighbouring MP Richard Arkless of the engagement in his constituency.
"If Mr Arkless is claiming he still wasn't aware, he must have been the only person in Scotland who didn't know David was attending the event." | Dumfries and Galloway SNP MP Richard Arkless has claimed David Mundell may have broken House of Commons rules by opening a foodbank in his constituency. | 33,690,689 | 317 | 39 | false |
The Portaferry woman won two European gold medals in an outstanding junior career before landing silver and bronze medals at senior level in 2012.
McMahon also competed at the London Olympics in 2012 but has struggled for form in recent seasons.
"This was an unexpected and difficult choice," said McMahon on Tuesday.
"It is not easy to give up something that you have done your whole life.
"My sport took me to some unimaginable highs and it's been an honour for me to represent my country all over the world.
"I will always cherish the unforgettable memories I have from my career, as well as the friendships I made along the way."
McMahon set a host of Irish records across a range of events and distances but she acknowledged in her retirement announcement that she felt "I was capable of a lot more".
"Regardless, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in helping me reach my goals over the years.
"I wouldn't have been able to live out my dream as an Olympian or take up a scholarship in the USA without you all."
After winning European junior medals in 2010 and 2011, McMahon won 50m breaststroke silver at the European Senior Championships in Hungary in 2012.
Later that year, the Northern Irishwoman won a European short course bronze medal.
McMahon went into the 2014 Commonwealth Games with high hopes of challenging for medals but struggled in Glasgow and she missed out on qualification for the Rio Olympics last year. | Twice European Championship medallist Sycerika McMahon has announced her retirement from competitive swimming at the age of 22. | 40,173,312 | 332 | 28 | false |
Like the American Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who rose to fame as a right-wing everyman during the 2008 US presidential election, Hancock has become the public face of the Alberta oil industry and its employees.
His face and his trademark mop of curly hair are plastered on T-shirts and mugs.
Last week, he appeared on Parliament Hill in his oil-rig getup to support a petition asking the federal government to do more to help Canada's struggling oil and gas industry.
"Families are being destroyed," he said.
The petition, which had 35,000 signatures, was tabled by Alberta Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs and organised by the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC), a pro-oil advocacy group.
Canada’s climate change dilemma
Like many, Mr Hancock was lured out to Alberta with the promise of relatively high wages for relatively low-skilled work. Canada exports CA$220bn (USD$168bn; £129bn) in natural resources a year, mostly to the United States, and the sector accounts for 17% of its GDP, according to 2015 data provided by Natural Resources Canada.
In Alberta, the third-largest oil producer in the world, the oil and gas industry employed approximately 155,000 people in 2015, about 11% fewer than in 2014, according to the Alberta government.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers says that since 2015, the industry lost 40,000 direct jobs - 100,000 when one includes indirect jobs.
Industry advocates blame the downturn on the low price of oil, the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline project in 2015, and the federal Liberal government's proposal to introduce a carbon tax.
Environmentalists say that further developing Alberta's oil industry could intensify climate change.
Becoming a political symbol for one of the most controversial industries in the country hasn't been easy, Mr Hancock tells the BBC.
He says he's been bombarded with threats and lewd images from people who say he's nothing more than a shill for big oil.
"I started doing this to help Albertans in the patch that are struggling," he said, his voice raising. "I shouldn't have to deal with this."
Mr Hancock, who say he struggles with anxiety and has lived on the street, said the negative publicity pushed him into a "downward spiral" last May.
"I don't like being on the internet, I don't like being spotlighted," he said.
But throwing himself into advocacy and finding work again in the oil patch this fall has given him a renewed sense of purpose, he said.
"I don't think Canadians realise how important the oil and gas industry is for Canada to be a prosperous country," he said.
He is articulate and well-versed on everything from parliamentary politics to the intricacies of laying pipe in an oil well, leading some to speculate he isn't a real oil-rig worker at all, but a hired actor.
The rumour is fuelled by the fact that he performed in a community theatre in 2014.
"People can't believe that someone who works in my job could be articulate, because it doesn't fit their stereotype about what a roughneck is," Mr. Hancock said.
Mr Hancock says he hasn't acted since that local play in 2014, but admits he has a knack for drama.
Appearing before the House of Commons as if he had just stepped off a rig - dirty face and all - was a calculated move.
"Tell me, would it have had the impact that it did if I had come there in a suit? Was that not smart?" he said.
"In a way it's a bit of a stunt, but this is who I am, and this is what I look like at work."
Mr Hancock's journey from "roughneck" - a term for an entry level worker on an oil rig - to oil industry advocate began in 2007, shortly after he finished his degree in English and media communication at Bishop's University in Quebec.
Oil politics: Canada's role in the energy world
After working on-and-off in the industry for nearly a decade, Hancock quit his job last January when his hours were drastically cut back, he said.
He moved back home with his parents in Vancouver, and started attending pipeline protests in order to give voice to people in favour of developing Canada's oil industry.
There, he was discovered by The Rebel, a conservative news organisation in Canada that now sells "Bernard the roughneck" T-shirts, for which he gets a small royalty.
Mr Hancock says all proceeds he receives from the merchandise go towards charity.
Soon after his involvement with The Rebel, Hancock reached out to the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors and began attending protests and doing other industry advocacy work.
The group doesn't pay him for his advocacy work, but they did fund his trip to Ottawa, said its president Mark Scholz.
"I think he's genuine,'' Mr Scholz said. "Speaking with him on-on-one, he has a heart for people and a heart for this industry."
While some of the attention has been overwhelming, Mr Hancock said he believes that he's called to represent colleagues in "the patch".
"They have just as much a right to have their voices heard as anyone else," he says.
Jese, who was thrust straight into Mark Hughes' side after arriving from Paris St-Germain on Wednesday, slid in from a tight angle after being left unmarked to pick up Saido Berahino's pass.
The Spaniard's strike came just 90 seconds into the second half, after an opening 45 minutes the visitors had dominated.
Arsenal thought they had equalised when Alexandre Lacazette rifled in, only for the France striker to be ruled offside.
The Gunners continued to press in the closing stages but Stoke, who had only 23% possession, remained resolute to earn their first win of the Premier League season.

Stoke have managed to attract a few players with impressive pedigree over recent seasons, but perhaps none more exciting than Spain international Jese.
The 24-year-old forward was considered one of the best products of his generation in the Real Madrid academy by some observers, only for his career to stall after he suffered a serious knee injury - ironically as a result of a challenge from Arsenal opponent Saed Kolasinac, who was then playing for Schalke - shortly before the 2014 World Cup.
After failing to force his way back into Real's plans following his recovery, an underwhelming spell at French giants Paris St-Germain followed before he attempted to rebuild his career with a loan move to hometown club Las Palmas.
The La Liga side decided he did not offer enough to warrant a longer deal - amid reports he was distracted by his rap band - which has allowed Stoke to bring him to the Premier League.
On the evidence of his match-winning debut, it may prove a shrewd signing by Potters boss Hughes.
Jese showed glimpses of his attacking flair and willingness to work throughout, none more so than for what proved to be the only goal of the game.
He started the move on the halfway line, driving forward with pace and purpose, before finding substitute Berahino on the left and then continuing his surge to collect a return pass and convert.
Eventually he ran out of steam - unsurprising after being left out of PSG's pre-season plans - and received a standing ovation when he was replaced after 70 minutes.
Stoke fans will be hoping his goal was the first of many during his season-long loan.

Stoke has long been considered a place where Arsenal's soft underbelly gets exposed against a physical home side - and so it proved again.
Arsenal won for the first time in seven trips to the Potteries when they cruised to a 4-1 victory at the end of last season, leading Arsene Wenger to confidently predict his team could cope with the challenge posed by the home side.
But, as has been an all too familiar sight for Gunners fans, they lacked steel and aggression in key areas of the pitch.
This was illustrated in the build-up to Stoke's winner.
A sloppy pass from Granit Xhaka towards a flat-footed Mesut Ozil gave the ball back to Stoke, with neither player working hard enough to retrieve the ball as Jese broke forward.
"We know not to make defensive mistakes and we came out after half-time too sluggish. We were punished," said a frustrated Wenger.
In truth, Arsenal could have already been well in command after a dominant first-half performance in which they had over 70% possession.
Still without the injured Alexis Sanchez, the visitors forced Potters keeper Jack Butland into a string of a splendid saves, particularly from angled drives by Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck, while Arsenal's players also felt they should have been given a penalty when Hector Bellerin was clumsily bundled over by Stoke forward Mame Biram Diouf.
Wenger was also aggrieved that Lacazette was called offside by the tiniest of margins as they chased an equaliser.
"I believe we scored a regular goal that was not offside. It is an easy decision. When the ball is kicked he is not offside," he added.
The Gunners boss threw on substitutes Oliver Giroud - who rescued them in their opening win against Leicester - Theo Walcott and Alex Iwobi in the final stages, but the forwards could not mask their team's defensive deficiencies for the second game running.
Stoke boss Hughes has the chance, perhaps, to rotate his squad when the Potters host League One side Rochdale in the EFL Cup on Wednesday (20:00 BST).
Arsenal are not in midweek cup action as the Europa League qualifiers do not enter the competition until the third round, meaning they have an eight-day break before travelling to Liverpool in the Premier League next Sunday (16:00).

Stewart Nicol said the industrial action by security staff who work at 11 Highlands and Islands Airports Limited sites could affect trade and tourism.
More than 120 members of the Prospect union began the 48-hour strike at midday on Tuesday.
Hial and Prospect are in a dispute over the employees' pay and conditions.
Scottish government-owned Hial has given managers training in security work to keep 10 of the airports open. Dundee has been temporarily shut.
Mr Nicol told BBC Radio Scotland: "I am quite concerned about the message this is putting out about the Highlands.
"Our reliance on the air routes is quite critical. For us as a region we are disproportionally reliant on them."
He added: "I would continue to urge management and the union to work together to get a resolution on this."
Hial runs Inverness, Dundee, Wick, Campbeltown airports and airports in the Hebrides and Northern Isles.
The industrial action is due to end at midday on Thursday.
In a statement, Hial said it was "business as usual" at 10 of its 11 airports.
It said: "Only scheduled services between Dundee and Stansted are suspended today.
"All other services are scheduled to operate. There are no delays to flights due to strike action."
Hial asked that passengers arrived 15 to 20 minutes early for flight and limit the amount of liquids and luggage they brought to the airport.
The company said it had an offer to Prospect to restart talks.
The union has accused Hial of telling the media first of its offer, adding that it was already for talks but would not resume negotiations without an offer on improved pay and conditions.
On Sunday the Caribbean Princess was an hour and a half late in leaving Guernsey's waters due to delays in getting its passengers back on board.
Captain Peter Gill said he had never seen such long queues and had "never had an incidence like this before".
The cruise company said it was unable to comment on the issue.
It said this was due to its head office in the USA being closed for a public holiday.
Captain Gill said: "When they come ashore they come at 100 or so at a time, depending on the capacity of the tenders, and that regulates how and when people come ashore.
"When it comes time to go back to the ship, as I understand it, they were all given the same time and everybody has turned up at the same time and of course there is just not the capacity of the ship's tenders to deal with in excess of 2,500 people at the same time."
He said getting passengers to and from the ship was the responsibility of the cruise operator with the assistance of their local shipping agents.
Captain Gill said: "On this occasion when we became aware that something was wrong we spoke to the agents.
"They were offered the use of the ferry ramp to put more tenders on, that was declined, they were offered the use of a trident ferry, that was declined initially - they eventually accepted that and the problem was eventually resolved."
He said: "We've handled a lot more passengers in the past without getting into this sort of a pickle with the numbers so the facilities are here, we can deal with it."
Captain Gill said the cruise liner company and their agents would be looking into the matter in some detail to understand what was wrong and to ensure it did not happen again.
He said things such as this needed to be fed into the consultation for the development of a Ports Master Plan, to ensure the island had the right facilities for its future needs.
It is the second time the vessel, which carries up to 3,600 passengers, has visited the island and on the previous occasion those on board were unable to land due to bad weather.
It is due to visit the island again on 9 July.
It is hoped the six timber homes at Pentre Solar, in Glanrhyd, near Cardigan, will save tenants hundreds of pounds in annual living costs thanks to their A++ energy ratings.
They also have roof solar panels capable of producing 6000kWh a year.
Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths, who will unveil the village, said it would provide much-needed housing and help tackle fuel poverty.
First Minister Carwyn Jones officially opened Western Solar's prototype Ty Solar house in 2013.
The Welsh Government gave the start-up £141,000 to help create its nearby production base for the homes, which also have 11in (28cm) of insulation.
With low energy use and access to a shared electric car, the company said tenants could avoid up to £2,000 a year in living costs.
The cluster of homes will house tenants from Pembrokeshire council's social housing waiting list.
Western Solar chief executive Dr Glen Peters said: "We built this village to demonstrate to sceptical housing providers that people don't have to choose any more between putting food on the table and keeping warm."
It plans to build 1,000 homes over the next 10 years, with the help of partnerships including housing providers and investors.
The environment secretary said: "I am delighted to officially open this innovative housing development, which is not only providing much-needed housing for local people, it is also addressing many other issues such as energy efficiency, fuel poverty, skills development and the use of Welsh timber.
"I am sure the tenants will be very happy in their new homes with much lower energy and heating costs."
Eight months after the rugby club won its bid to expand into the sport, Wasps netball make their debut on Tuesday.
Wasps are the most prolific side in English rugby this term, but have the second worst defence in the top nine.
"At times we will do crazy stuff, a bit like the rugby," said Greenway.
"We're not going to play safe netball. Defensively, we will attack the game to win the ball. This is not about shutting people down, this is about turning over the ball, bringing the ball trough the court at pace."
Greenway, 34, took the helm at Wasps after coaching Surrey Storm to a second successive Superleague title in 2016.
She brought several Surrey players with her, including last season's top scorer Rachel Dunn, while fellow England international Natalie Haythornthwaite moved to Wasps from Manchester and South Africa captain Bongiwe Msomi returned to the English league to reunite with Greenway.
The decorated coach and former England international has labelled it her "dream team" and admits Wasps have "become a target", but is adamant "high-risk" netball is what it will take to make the club a success.
"When people come to sport they want to be entertained, right? I want people to see athletes that are playing with flare, taking risks," Greenway said.
"With the team we have brought in, we have the capabilities of doing that.
"I've brought in a team that is good enough to win the league. We want to be successful, it has to be successful and if we want to get people into the building we need to win games and make sure that this community loves this sport and into Wasps."

Wasps' Superleague debut against a fellow expansion club Sirens will be a sell-out at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.
The season began over the weekend when Severn Stars, the third of the three new clubs in the 10-team competition, were beaten 58-40 by defending champions Surrey, in Tania Hoffman's first match in charge.
Hertfordshire Mavericks defeated Team Northumbria in the season's opening game on Friday, with Team Bath winning at Celtic Dragons, while Loughborough Lightening overcame last season's losing finalists Manchester Thunder.
India's government said commercial and air forces planes were used to take out the foreigners from Kathmandu.
The UN estimates that eight million people in 39 districts have been affected by the 7.8-magnitude quake.
More than 10,000 people have been injured.
"Friends in need," Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted, giving details of the foreign nationals evacuated.
The majority of the evacuated foreigners - 71 - are from Spain, which had asked India for help.
Other foreign nationals evacuated include citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic, the US, the UK, Germany and France.
There were an estimated 300,000 foreign tourists in Nepal, several hundred of those on Mount Everest, when the earthquake hit on Saturday.
India's disaster response teams and soldiers have also rescued more than 740 Nepalese nationals and its air force helicopters have evacuated 19 mountaineers from Lukla, the foreign ministry said.
India lost no time in sending aircraft to Kathmandu carrying disaster response forces, medical teams, food, medicines and rescue equipment following the quake.
Rescuers are still struggling to bring aid to remote Himalayan areas. Heavy rain is worsening the plight of hundreds of thousands of people camped out in the open.
The body of a 42-year-old from Preston was found at an address on Church Street in the city centre at about 20:30 BST on Tuesday, police said.
Paramedics were called and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 37-year-old man, who was arrested in connection with the death, is currently in police custody.
Programming and events will span four years, across television, radio and online, from 2014-2018, echoing the time frame of the war itself.
"I want 2014 to be remembered for our national commemoration of all those who served on the battlefield and on the Home Front," said BBC chief Tony Hall.
"And a chance for us all to learn something new about a war we think we know well."
The season will include 130 newly commissioned programmes, spanning almost 2,500 hours.
Among them will be two major TV dramas on BBC One: The Ark will take viewers into the lives of the medics and their patients at a fictional field hospital behind the trenches in France; while The Passing Bells tells the story of the war through the eyes of two very ordinary young men.
On BBC Two, Ian McDiarmid stars in 37 Days, which will explore the politics behind the build-up to war. The events will also be retold on BBC Radio 4 in 1914 Day-by-Day, a 42-part series featuring archive news excerpts, from the day of the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand to the outbreak of war five weeks later.
Radio 4 will also air two dramas. Homefront is the story of "the 41 million Britons who didn't fight in the great war but whose hearts were pinned on the five million who did", and will run across four years in 15-minute instalments, pitting fictional stories against a background of truth.
Tommies, a series of plays narrated across the four years of war, revolves around British Empire soldiers, focusing on a sergeant in the Lahore division of the Indian army and a group of signallers.
Kate Adie tells The Story of Women in World War I on BBC Two, and relates the role of women as nurses, ambulance drivers and surgeons during the great war.
"We are setting out to broaden people's understanding of the war, to commemorate and remember those who were caught up in it and to tell both well-known stories from fresh perspectives and original stories so far untold," said Adrian Van Klaveren, BBC controller behind the centenary season.
Horrible Histories
The season will also include programming about poetry, paintings and music, as well as programmes by eminent historians including Sir Max Hastings, Christopher Clark and Niall Ferguson, tackling some of the biggest debates about World War I.
Meanwhile, BBC Children's and BBC Learning will seek to explain the war to younger viewers, through programmes including a specially-commissioned Horrible Histories.
"A century on, we should perhaps remember and respect that sacrifice," said Jeremy Paxman, who fronts the documentary series, Britain's Great War, looking at the impact of the World War I.
"And realise that more than any other event, this was the one that made modern Britain."
The musician's Minneapolis home and recording studio, Paisley Park, was searched on 21 April, the day he died.
But authorities won a court order on Thursday to keep the warrant sealed, arguing that making it public would hamper their work.
Prescription painkillers were in the singer's possession following his sudden death, officials tell US media.
But it is unclear what role, if any, those drugs may have played.
Carver County Deputy Sheriff Jason Kamerud said reports that the Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA) had been called in were not accurate.
A post-mortem last week discounted suicide - but a medical examiner said full results could take several weeks.
Prince, 57, was found dead in a lift on his Paisley Park estate.
There was no sign of trauma on the body, Sheriff Jim Olson said, suggesting the singer had died alone.
There have been suggestions the star was addicted to the painkiller Percocet, which he had been taking since 2009 to relieve hip pain.
His former percussionist, Sheila E, told the news agency Prince had suffered the effects of years of jumping off speakers on stage while wearing high heels.
However, claims of drug dependency have been refuted by the singer's long-time lawyer, L Londell McMillan.
Although Mr McMillan admitted that Prince may have taken pills to manage pain, he said the musician was "not on any drugs that would be any cause for concern".
Prince had been rushed to hospital in Illinois six days prior to his death, while flying home from a concert in Georgia, but was treated and released a few hours later.
Morgan was eight under under par - and four under for the round - with two holes remaining in Hawaii when organisers called a halt for the day.
South Korea's Kim In-kyung and Jang Su-yeon were tied for the lead on nine under with Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn.
England's Bronte Law is three shots off the lead after a three-under-par 69.
Morgan was one of 15 players still on the course when play was suspended, and the 42-year-old from Abergavenny will complete her second round on Friday.
American Stacy Lewis, Canada's Alena Sharp and Lee Mi-hyang of South Korea were all in the clubhouse on eight under par, with Morgan on course to match them thanks to four birdies in her 16 holes played.
Kim made nine birdies in a stunning eight-under-par 64, with Jutanugarn posting a 66 to join her on nine under.
"I had a great putting day," said Kim, 28. "Yesterday I hit the ball pretty well but just didn't make as many putts.
"Today, the putts were dropping. I had some good shots but I kind of scrambled very well."
Mr Mallon was arrested in Rio over a week ago in possession of hundreds of tickets earmarked for the Olympic Council of Ireland.
Mr Hickey, 71, was detained by Brazilian police on Wednesday.
The pair are being held together in the notorious Bangu 10 Rio prison.
On Saturday, a Brazilian judge said that Mr Hickey was remanded in custody on Friday because he was a flight risk.
The OCI board is due to meet on Sunday evening to discuss the issue.
A spokeswoman for the OCI said it is awaiting the return of some board members from Rio.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reports that former Olympic silver medal winner Sonia O'Sullivan, the Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney, and head of Swim Ireland Sarah Keane are among the board members due to attend the meeting.
Mr Hickey denies the allegations against him but has stepped down from all his posts temporarily.
He served as head of the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) as well as the European Olympic body, and also sat on the executive board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
On Friday, Irish Sports Minister Shane Ross announced an inquiry into the ticketing claims, following a meeting with Attorney General Máire Whelan.
The inquiry would be chaired by a retired judge who would be appointed next week, said Mr Ross, adding that he hoped it would complete its work in 12 weeks.
Who is Pat Hickey?
Mr Hickey left hospital in a wheelchair on Thursday night and was taken to a police station in Rio where he gave a statement to investigators, reports say.
He was then denied bail by the Court of Justice, and transferred to prison.
Bangu penitentiary complex houses some of Brazil's most dangerous inmates and is famous for its bloody gang violence.
It has been the scene of murders and riots and several of its officials have been killed.
In December 2005, a security chief became the fifth official from the jail to be murdered in five years.
In 2013, 27 inmates escaped from the sprawling complex by crawling through the sewage system.
However, a women's jail in the complex hosts an annual beauty contest.
Mr Hickey's colleagues at the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) have said they will fully cooperate with any Irish state inquiry into the sale of tickets for Rio 2016.
In a statement on Friday it said Mr Hickey was "receiving his own legal advice and is entitled to natural justice and due process".
It said independent legal advisers had been appointed to advise the council's board.
It added that it "would cooperate fully with a state inquiry and it will now appoint an external independent firm to carry out a review".
The council said its board regretted that "recent events in Brazil have overshadowed the many great performances of Team Ireland at the Rio Olympic Games".
The OCI said it would also commission its own independent inquiry into the ticketing scandal.
Mr Hickey was dramatically arrested on Wednesday in his hotel room over his alleged role in a scheme to sell Olympic tickets for a higher price than their face value.
He was escorted off the premises wearing his dressing gown to face questions.
But he complained of heart problems and spent time in Samaritano Hospital in Rio de Janeiro before being taken to a police station for questioning on Thursday night.
William O'Brien, who has temporarily taken over as president of the OCI, said on Thursday that the organisation would "defend ourselves to the hilt".
City councillors said animals go through a great deal of suffering for the production of the pate.
Animal rights campaigners have hailed the move, but some of Sao Paulo's best-known chefs have voiced concern.
Foie gras, originally a French delicacy, is produced worldwide.
Several countries, including Britain, Germany, Italy and Argentina, have banned its production. But the sale of the pate is still allowed in most of them.
The Sao Paulo city council has set a fine of 5,000 reais (£1,000) for restaurants and bars that break the new law - which will take effect in 45 days.
"Foie gras is an appetiser for the wealthy," said the law's author, city councillor Laercio Benko.
"It does not benefit human health and to make it, the birds are submitted to a lot of suffering,'' said Mr Benko.

James Darrah, 54, died after the incident outside the Stone House bar in Hertford on 23 August 2014.
St Albans Crown Court heard William Wade, 27, became loud and angry and, after he was escorted out of the bar, threw a punch.
Mr Wade, from High Cross, near Ware in Hertfordshire, denies manslaughter and causing Mr Darrah actual bodily harm.
Prosecutor Michael Speak said: "The prosecution say that the defendant William Wade punched James Darrah.
"As it happens, Mr Darrah suffered from a heart condition and, as a result of being punched by the defendant, Mr Darrah died very shortly afterwards.
"The charge is not murder. We don't say he intended to kill Mr Darrah."
Mr Speak told the jury Mr Darrah, a registered door supervisor for a number of years, was doing his first shift at the Stone House club on the night he died.
He said Mr Darrah was dealing with a girl who had had too much to drink, and told her friends she could stay in the club as long as she did not have any more alcohol.
"The girls who were with her will say Mr Darrah was not aggressive and was calm and polite," said Mr Speak.
"The defendant then took it upon himself to interfere, although he had no business to do so. He... was just getting loud and angry for no good reason.
"Mr Darrah asked the defendant to step away and stay out of it. Then Mr Darrah decided he had had enough of the defendant and told him to leave and asked him to come outside the club."
The case continues.
The search was launched after Pepsi vanished at Findon on Monday afternoon.
Potential sightings were reported in the Portlethen area, where the dog was located on Tuesday afternoon.
Pepsi's owner Claire Muir, of Aberdeen, told the BBC Scotland news website it was "amazing" news and thanked everyone who had helped.
She said: "Pepsi has been found safe and well in the outskirts of the Portlethen area by my incredible parents.
"She's been checked over by vets and she's safe, well, hungry and as cheeky and hyper as ever!
"Simon, myself and all our friends and family who dote on Pepsi are so thankful from the bottom of our dog-loving hearts. Seeing strangers pull together over social media in such a short time and making such a big difference is unbelievable.
"We'll thank everyone properly as soon as we get this girl home and washed."

After 24 matches and 77 goals on Thursday night, Zenit St Petersburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Schalke and Ajax booked their place in the knock-out stages.
Zenit only needed a draw but beat Irish champions Dundalk 2-1 to progress with two games still to play.
Shakhtar had not conceded a goal in the competition but were behind after just 19 seconds against Gent before coming back to win 5-3 on the night.
In Germany, Schalke scored two first-half goals to beat Russian side Krasnodar 2-0 and seal their place in the last 32.
Ajax also made it through after holding off a late fight-back to beat Celta Vigo 3-2.
Anderlecht thumped Mainz 6-1 in Belgium, scoring three of their goals between the 89th and 94th minutes.
There were also six goals as Roma beat Austria Vienna 4-2 with former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko scoring twice.
Five players saw red on Thursday, including a rapid dismissal for Feyenoord defender Eric Fernando Botteghin.
The Brazilian was booked for a foul in the 42nd minute and then received a second yellow for handball less than 60 seconds later.
As part of making the case for a robust diplomatic process, the prime minister noted that as many as 70,000 fighters who did not belong to extremist groups were still committed to fighting President Bashar al-Assad.
The figure has raised eyebrows: there was no clarity offered as to who these fighters are, where they are fighting, and what sort of relationships these moderate groups have to al-Qaeda, and indeed IS.
Many politicians and commentators have outright dismissed the figure as fantastical, feeding into the Russian propagandists' line that there are no "moderate" rebels left in Syria.
In the past week, a number of analysts have taken up the challenge to identify these rebels.
Officials say the source for the 70,000 figure is the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), drawing on assessments by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK intelligence agencies and open sources.
The figure, the officials add, refers to Syrian rebels who fulfil two basic criteria:
Frank Gardner: Is PM right about the Syrian 'moderates'?
Charles Lister of the Brookings Institute puts the number of fighters in strategically influential groups at around 65,000 - with 10,000 fighters in smaller groups.
They are spread over six identifiable fronts, stretching along a fairly narrow strip of territory from the northern city of Aleppo, down through the capital Damascus and into the southern borderlands with Jordan.
But while it may be possible to identify 65,000-75,000 personnel in brigades that fight both Assad and IS, the problem is that these groups of fighters, particularly in the north of the country, are not powerful enough to take on al-Qaeda or IS by themselves, or in many cases break their current alliances/ceasefires with them.
For example, Jaysh al-Fatah - a coalition of seven different groups operating around the northern cities of Aleppo, Idlib and Hama - is comprised of Salafist jihadists from the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front, and the equally unpalatable Ahrar al-Sham and Jund al-Aqsa.
Yet two other groupings in the alliance, Ajnad al-Sham and Faylaq al-Sham, display little such sentiments.
The problem is that numerically within Jaysh al-Fatah the more moderate groups do not stand a chance against the hardliners.
In eastern Damascus and the southern part of the country, the picture is clearer.
Militias with Jordanian and Saudi backing have fared well against Mr Assad's forces, and have been ruthless whenever they have come into contact with IS.
In July, Jaysh al-Islam released a video of its fighters shooting dead rivals from IS in a style that mimicked those produced by the jihadist group to announce the killing of regime soldiers and Western hostages.
Although hardly a palatable group in and of itself, Jaysh al-Islam does at least represent Syrians that live in that area, and is explicitly not jihadist.
But it is important to note that these rebels do not form a cohesive military force, able to simultaneously launch co-ordinated attacks in the manner of a standing army.
Rather, they form the backbone of piecemeal opposition, looking to establish social and political control in various different guises, and co-ordinating across a number of fronts in which they vary dramatically in terms of operational fighting strength.
Regardless of the lack of clarity, the 70,000 figure does not include the Kurds.
Their Popular Protection Units (YPG) form part of a larger umbrella movement known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is engaged in battle with IS across a 900km (560-mile) frontline in areas where Kurds are largely the majority ethnic population.
The SDF generally operates in a tense ceasefire with the Assad regime and has even been accused of being in open alliance with it, and as a result the British government does not include the YPG or the SDF - which may have as many as 40-50,000 troops - in its estimate.
But let's be honest - Western airpower and reconnaissance have been aiding the Kurdish forces for more than a year, and they are part of the West's anti-IS strategy in Syria, whether they fight Assad or not.
It is strange to think that the forces the West backs most keenly are ignored when a strategy for bombing in Syria and bringing it to a political solution is outlined.
So, counting the number of "allies" that the West considers vital to its dual strategy of defeating IS and pushing Mr Assad to the negotiating table makes the magical 70,000 number actually more like 100-120,000.
It should also refer to areas of the country already under relatively stable control, rather than the scattered assortment of opposition militias that operate in the west and south.
Lack of clarity was always going to be a problem in Syria, but the government has oversold the strength of potential allies, whilst simultaneously underselling the strength of others.
Such is Syria, where one man's ally is another's mortal enemy, leading to a strategy in which the best solution is to back the groups we dislike the least.

Mr Erdogan may not have been a candidate, but many see the vote as a rejection of his plans to bolster the powers of the Turkish presidency.
"He was not officially running for office, but everyone knows this election was about him," Sevgi Akarcesme, a columnist with the opposition paper Zaman Daily, told BBC World Service's Newshour Extra.
"The election was almost a referendum on Erdogan's plans to create a presidential system."
In last year's presidential elections Mr Erdogan won 52% of the popular vote. This time his AKP secured 41%.
The result was a blow to a man with a hitherto remarkably consistent track record of election victories.
Mr Erdogan has already changed his country's political landscape beyond recognition.
He has taken ideas that used to divide Turkish people such as religion, imperial nostalgia and nationalism and forged them into a cohesive ideological base.
He has also overseen a period of steady economic development, creating millions of grateful, conservative, middle-class voters.
Mr Erdogan is controversial. Supporters say that he should be credited with having broken the back of military power and entrenched democracy in Turkey.
There is no more talk of military coups overthrowing elected governments.
And some argue that Mr Erdogan's quick acceptance of the recent election result shows that Islamism is, after all, compatible with democracy.
The oft-repeated warning that any Islamist who won power would stop any future elections taking place turns out to have been incorrect.
"Our nation's opinion is above everything else," he said after the result was announced last week.
But opponents say that Mr Erdogan, isolated in his thousand-room presidential palace and surrounded by sycophants, has become increasingly autocratic.
Street protests have been met with water cannon and critical journalists live in fear of losing their jobs.
"Today in Turkey there is no independent state institutions other than the AKP itself," said former brigadier and independent political commentator Haldun Solmazturk.
"When you ask which democratic institutions he built, there is no answer."
Much of the considerable international attention Mr Erdogan has attracted has focused on his so-called political Islamist project.
Back in 2004, US President George W Bush said in Ankara: "I appreciate very much the example that your country has set on how to be a Muslim country which. . . embraces democracy and rule of law and freedom."
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Western leaders have made similarly hopeful remarks about Mr Erdogan establishing an Islamic democracy.
But while Western politicians and journalists tend to see Turkish politics as an argument between Islamists and secularists, there are, in fact, many other fault lines in Turkish society.
For many Turks issues such as class, inequality, economic development, corruption, civil liberties and ethnicity are just as important as the role of religion in politics.
"Moderate Islam, Islamism, political Islam mean something to Westerners," Haldun Solmazturk told Newshour Extra. "In Turkey we seldom, if ever, use these terms."
While some Westerners hanker after the creation of a model of political Islam that they could live with, it's far from clear that Mr Erdogan ever had such a project in mind.
Rather, his ascent can be seen as a case of a highly capable politician using his political base and some powerful ideas to win and hold on to power.
And he has not relied exclusively on questions of faith.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rise to power
Full profile
Mr Erdogan has been equally willing to evoke symbols of Turkey's Ottoman imperial history to bolster his position.
In both cases he is drawing strength from aspects of Turkish society and history that have previously been suppressed or ignored.
But even then he talks more about the economy than either religion or nationalism.
On this account Mr Erdogan's autocratic tendencies are a sign not of the failure of his form of political Islamism but more as a case of politics as usual in Turkey.
The country's leaders have long used heavy-handed methods to hold on to power and Mr Erdogan is no exception.
"The Turkish state has habits of this kind," said Meryem Atlas of the pro-Erdogan Daily Sabah newspaper.
While some see Mr Erdogan's suppression of criticism as inherent to his Islamism, others think that, like politicians all over the world, he just wants to tighten his grip on power.
Sensing his ambitions, the Turkish electorate has sent a message that they don't want one-man rule.
The question now is how Mr Erdogan will react during the four remaining years of his presidential term.
Dutchman Stam made four changes for the visit of leaders Newcastle United on Tuesday and hinted more rotation would be on the way in their final 10 games.
"At the moment, it's not about individuals, it's about the team performance in what we want to achieve together," he told BBC Radio Berkshire.
Reading are fifth in the Championship after Tuesday's 0-0 stalemate.
The Royals held Newcastle to their first goalless draw of the season, while Garath McCleary almost netted a late winner when his stoppage time shot skimmed the crossbar.
"We've got a squad with a few players and we can make choices to give a few a rest so that they can be sharper when they step back in," Stam said after the game.
"It's important with the changes you make that you can still get results. Everyone in the squad knows what's expected from them, what they need to do and the choices they make.
"Sometimes it happens that you can play and then maybe the next game, you're not even in the squad.
"I think everybody is committed to that and we can keep that up until the end of the season."
The problem has been highlighted by a couple from East Lothian.
Michael Turnbull was told by 16 providers they had no spare capacity to help with care for his wife Mary who has dementia. Separately, he offered extra money for private personal care but still could not get what he needed.
The Scottish government is to discuss the case with East Lothian Council.
The local authority, which gave Mr Turnbull funding to pay for care for his wife, said it was working with him to find a long-term solution.
Mr Turnbull, 76, from Longniddry, told BBC Scotland he had offered additional wages for private personal care for his wife but still struggled to find the support he required.
"I've just noticed that the companies don't have any spare staff," he said.
"One particular company withdrew from us because two of their care workers went off on long-term sick leave and it was impossible for them to fulfil a contract.
"It became clear to me more recently that this is something that is happening all over Scotland and in fact all over Britain."
Dr Donald MasAskill, chief executive of Scottish Care, the umbrella body which represents the independent care sector, said: "Unfortunately the problem is really widespread and its becoming even more common.
"We did a survey last month of our members and nine out of 10 of them have struggled to fill support worker vacancies in the last year.
"The same number, nine out of 10, say the situation is worse this year than it was last year, despite the fact we are now able to pay people the Scottish living wage.
"The job of care is a hugely rewarding and fulfilling job but it is also a really challenging and difficult job.
"It costs people emotionally and physically and so often people start the job but sometimes the cost and stress become really challenging."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "I am sorry to hear of the problems Mr Turnbull has been experiencing finding care for his wife.
"Scottish government officials will be contacting the local authority to discuss this case.
"Attracting and retaining the right people, and raising the status and image of social care as a profession, is key to delivering quality care.
"That is why we have taken action to protect our social care services, including the payment of the Living Wage to adult care workers, giving a well-deserved pay rise to up to 40,000 people doing some of the most valuable work in Scotland."
She added: "In the coming year there will be almost half a billion pounds of NHS investment in social care and integration.
"We are working with Cosla and care providers to deliver a major programme of reform to adult social care, which will consider workforce issues and new models of care and support."

Prices rose in all council areas and across all property types, but there were wide variations.
In Derry City and Strabane prices were up by 11% but by less than 2% in Fermanagh and Omagh.
The figures are from the NI Residential Property Price Index, which analyses almost all sales, including cash deals.
The average standardised price, across all property types, is now £125,480.
That compares to £97,428 at the bottom of the market in 2012, but is still far below the bubble-era peak of £224,670.
Over the year the largest rise was in the apartment sector with prices up by 11%.
For all other property types, the increase was about 5%.
The council area with the highest average price is Lisburn and Castlereagh (£149,600) and the lowest is Derry City and Strabane (£108,464).
The number of properties sold in 2016 was 21,669, down slightly on the 2015 figure.
Northern Ireland experienced a huge house price bubble in the years leading up to 2007 before the market crashed.
Prices more than halved between 2007 and early 2013 but have been increasing gradually since then.

Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews said he wanted the merger process to be as "smooth, constructive and productive as possible".
The Williams Commission called for the 22 councils to be cut by around half. Six have put forward merger plans and are awaiting the minister's decision.
The councils who have proposed a link-up are:
Mr Andrews said in December he would respond to the suggested voluntary mergers early in the new year.
He has also said that some people in his party would like to see the number of Welsh councils cut to as few as six.
Sure Start children's centres were established in 1998 by the Labour government to provide support for disadvantaged families.
3,259 remain, but numbers have been dwindling since cuts to children's services early intervention budget.
The government says many councils are merging centres, but charities are concerned and want a rethink.
The figures were obtained by Labour's Dan Jarvis via a written parliamentary question to junior education minister Caroline Dinenage.
He said the closures were "deeply concerning" and called on her to explain the situation to Parliament.
Closures have been highly unpopular with parents, with opposition to at least one set of closures being heard in the High Court.
The Pre-school Learning Alliance, which campaigns on early years issues, said the scale of closures appeared to be in conflict with the government's narrative on improving life chances across society.
The answer also revealed that the numbers of closures are rising, with 12 closing in 2011, 27 in 2012 and 33 in 2013.
In 2014 the number increased to 85, and then 156 last year.
"Sure Start centres are a proven success," said Mr Jarvis.
"They provide families with childcare in addition to being a one-stop shop for extra support, with things like healthcare or securing job opportunities.
"This shows how wrong the Conservatives' priorities are. Because every Sure Start centre that is lost closes a door on a child's chance to get on in life.
"A child's earliest years are critical to their future life chances. So early interventions like Sure Start should be the priority, because it is a smart investment for the future and it will give children the best start in life.
"With child poverty set to rise by 50% over this parliament, thousands of families will be affected by these closures. We will all pay for this failure in years to come."
Chief executive of the Pre-school Learning Alliance Neil Leitch said: "Children's centres are a vital source of advice and practical support for families - especially those more disadvantaged families - and for so many to be disappearing at a time when there is so much government rhetoric on 'closing the gap' and improving children's life chances, seems completely contradictory.
"Worse still, a growing number of those children's centres that remain open are unable to offer much more than a skeleton service due to lack of adequate funding, meaning that even more vulnerable families are finding it difficult to access the support they need.
"This is clearly not a sustainable situation and so we urge the government to set out its - now long overdue - strategy for securing the future of children's centres as a matter of priority."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said it remained committed to giving children the best start in life, and was spending record amounts on childcare.
She said: "Many councils are merging centres to allow services to be delivered more efficiently.
"Where they decide to close a children's centre site, they must demonstrate that the outcomes for children would not be adversely affected, and will not compromise the duty to have sufficient children's centres to meet local need."

Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths said concerns were being raised by the industry about lack of financial support in particular.
She called for powers over the offering of financial incentives to be handed to the Welsh Government.
The UK government said it is committed to supporting renewable energy.
Ms Griffiths said she wanted Wales to become a nation "renowned for its clean energy".
Powers of consent for large renewable energy schemes, up to 350MW, are being handed to Cardiff Bay as part of the Wales Bill.
But control over the grid infrastructure that delivers electricity to our homes as well as the subsidies paid out to help get new schemes off the ground remains with Westminster.
These include feed-in tariffs - payments given to homes and businesses if they install solar panels or wind turbines.
"It would be good to have those levers," said Ms Griffiths.
"It is frustrating, particularly when the industry wants to come to Wales and we're encouraging companies to come here."
Ms Griffiths acknowledged that her own government could also do more to help the sector, after opposition parties accused her of lacking detail and ambition as she set out her priorities for energy in the Senedd last week
She told BBC Wales her officials were working on the introduction of targets for renewable energy generation and would aim to publish them by the summer.
The UK government is working towards moving energy sources away from fossil fuels like coal over the next 15 years and beyond, with more reliance on low carbon solutions like tidal, hydro electric and wind but also nuclear.
On proposals for tidal lagoons, the largest renewable schemes under consideration in Wales, Ms Griffiths said it was "important that the UK government comes out and clarify its position".
Powering Wales: Behind the scenes at the National Grid
Powering Wales: Village clubs together for hydro energy
The £1.3bn Swansea tidal lagoon project is being viewed by the developers as a test bed for much larger and more cost effective versions around the coast, including Cardiff, Newport and Colwyn Bay.
Ministers in Westminster are considering the findings of a six month review into the viability of the scheme, which is yet to be published.
Ms Griffiths said the Welsh Government was "very supportive" of the scheme but it and the industry needed clarity on the UK government's position in the "very, very near future."
David Clubb, head of Renewable UK Cymru - which represents the industry in Wales - thinks anticipation within the sector about the project was "huge", with fears of job losses within civil engineering firms specialising in renewable energy if a project of this scale is turned down.
"I think that this is a once in a lifetime project, a once in a 100 year sort of opportunity," he said.
"If you think about the kind of vision and foresight that for example many of the Victorian projects had - Brunel with his amazing tunnels and bridges - we're still using that infrastructure 100 years later.
"I truly believe that that same vision and foresight is needed from our political leaders of today in order that our children and grandchildren will still be using this infrastructure, and that they'll look back and they'll say 'that was a time of great infrastructure, ideas and investment' and they'll thank us for making these decisions."
A Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy spokesman said: "Britain is one of the best places in the world to invest in clean, flexible energy as we continue to upgrade our energy infrastructure.
"Nearly £52bn has been invested in renewables in the UK since 2010, and just last month we reiterated our commitment to spend a further £730m per year supporting new renewable projects over the course of this parliament."
Mr Hunt said that a "Monday to Friday culture" in parts of the NHS had "tragic consequences" and said 6,000 people die each year because of this.
British Medical Association leader Dr Mark Porter said the union supported more seven-day working but accused Mr Hunt of being "too simplistic".
A September deadline has been set by Mr Hunt for a deal with the BMA.
The current consultant contract means senior doctors can opt out of weekend work as long as it is non-emergency in nature - although they are still expected to be on call.
In a speech in London, Mr Hunt promised he was prepared to enforce changes if necessary by imposing a new contract on newly-appointed consultants.
It is part of the push to deliver a seven-day-a-week NHS in England.
By ensuring all new consultants do not have the right to opt out, Mr Hunt believes over the course of the parliament he will gradually get enough senior doctors in place to drive up standards at weekends.
While he is within his powers to impose such a deal, the move threatens to sour relations with the medical profession - especially as a number of hospitals have already started altering rota patterns to create a more even spread of cover.
The BMA pulled out of talks last year amid concerns over workload.
The 6,000 figure for the number of extra weekend deaths that was used by the government was from research that has yet to be published.
But there is already robust evidence showing that a weekend admission is linked to a higher chance of death, but what is still not obvious is what exactly causes this.
Research from three years ago published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine showed 1.3% of people who are admitted to hospital die within 30 days.
Death rates were higher for weekend admissions - compared with admission on a Wednesday they were 16% higher for Sunday and 11% for Saturday.
But, crucially, it was not clear to what extent this was down to a lack of experienced staff.
Another factor could have been the fact that people with a greater severity of illness may be admitted at weekends because of a lack of services in the community for those at the end of life.
Although that in itself is another argument for seven-day services - across the whole NHS. Whether there is the money available for that is another matter.
Mr Hunt said: "The problem dates back to 2003 when the then government gave consultants the right to opt out of working at weekends - that's a right that nurses don't have, midwives don't have, paramedics, ambulance drivers and so on don't have and that has created a Monday to Friday culture in many parts of the NHS with tragic consequences for patients.
"And if you want the evidence it's very straightforward. We have around 6,000 avoidable deaths every year because if you are admitted to hospital on a Sunday you have a higher chance of dying than if you are admitted on a Wednesday."
He said it was "not a war against consultants" and that "many medical directors" and professional bodies "want that sense of vocation and professionalism brought back into the contract".
"We are not asking any doctor to work longer hours or unsafe hours... but there will be times where we do need that senior consultant cover at weekends."
He accused the BMA of being out of touch with its members and said he would not allow them to be a "roadblock" to reform, before warning: "Be in no doubt, if we can't negotiate, we are ready to impose a new contract."
His comments came just a month after he tried to entice GPs to move towards more seven-day working by promising to recruit extra staff to relieve the pressure on services.
The BMA has argued that to improve care at weekends you also need more support services such as diagnostics and pathology as well as care in the community to allow patients to be discharged.
"Today's announcement is nothing more than a wholesale attack on doctors to mask the fact that for two years the government has failed to outline any concrete proposals," said Dr Porter.
"How will he ensure there isn't a reduction in mid-week services or fewer doctors on wards Monday to Friday?"
The BMA has also released a survey of 2,000 adults which found two thirds did not believe the NHS could afford seven-day services.
But the Royal College of Emergency Medicine said it was pleased the health secretary was pushing ahead with seven-day services.
College president Cliff Mann said there was an "intrinsic unfairness" in the current system that meant in some specialities like his own doctors were already providing a seven-day service while other areas of the NHS were not.
St John's Primary, in Sussex, is holding a non-school uniform day but instead of donating to charity, pupils were asked to bring in essential items.
The chair of the Crowborough school's governors, said it wanted to highlight the "massive financial crisis" all schools face under budget cuts.
The Department for Education (DoE) has admitted funding models are "unfair".
At a meeting later, parents will be told how cuts would affect the school.
Live: More news from Sussex
Head teacher Laura Cooper said it was important parents were aware of "the real financial pressures facing the school".
In a letter on the non-uniform day, she said "we would like the children to bring in various 'essential' items such as stationery (e.g. glue sticks, pencils, Blu Tack, boxes of tissues, sellotape, etc) and of course loo rolls".
The Parents' Forum meeting later would focus on "safeguarding the future of our school", she added.
Rosie Wegeland, who has four children at the school, said the letter had "really surprised" her.
"This is the first time in seven years that they are asking for something else to be given to the school," she said.
In a separate letter earlier this month, head teachers from across East Sussex urged parents to lobby their local MPs and the education secretary "to protest about the effects of funding cuts in schools".
"The government claims that funding for schools has remained the same, but they do not mention that all schools face rising costs due to inflation and other extra charges recently introduced by the government," they said.
"According to the National Audit Office, this will equate to £3 billion less between 2019 and 2020."
In a statement, the DoE agreed the current system for distributing funding across the country was "unfair, opaque and outdated".
It had been consulting schools, governors, local authorities and parents "on the need for a fairer funding formula", it added.
Opposing nuclear weapons is an article of faith in the SNP. And Labour has a memory of being hounded by Conservatives in the 1983 general elections, when it argued against having a nuclear deterrent.
That was at the time that the Trident system was being built, replacing Polaris. The next term of the Westminster parliament will face a decision on whether Trident is renewed with new submarines and missiles.
The four current Trident-armed Vanguard Class submarines are due to retire by 2028. The missiles on them are having their operational lives extended to 2042.
Work has already begun on submarine design, but the big decision is yet to come.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said it will cost £17.5bn to £23.4bn to procure the replacement system. That is the estimate at 2013-14 prices.
Of that, between £12.9bn and £16.4bn would be spent on the submarines themselves.
And it is assumed that the submarines would be built in the specialist yard at Barrow in Cumbria, where they built their first sub in 1886, for the navy of the Ottoman Empire. Last year, it was granted £300m for an upgrade, allowing it to build larger submarines than before.
The work that's been done on the Successor class submarines already runs into billions. The concept phase cost £854m, beginning in 2007. It is being followed by the assessment phase, with a budget of £3.3bn, of which £1.2bn had been spent a year ago. That buys steel with which to start construction and early work at Rolls-Royce in Derby on building new engines.
Such big MoD procurement programmes are notorious for going over-budget. The total estimate in 2006 was £15bn to £20bn.
That includes the cost of running and servicing the submarines over a projected 40-year lifespan.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) has arrived at the round £100bn figure by two routes. One is to take the MoD's stated intention to spend 5-6% of its defence budget on running its nuclear deterrent.
CND estimates that at £2bn to £2.4bn per year, and multiplies by 40 - though, of course, defence budgets can go up or come down.
The different approach is a breakdown of costs. CND estimates £57bn in running costs, plus £13bn to decommission the submarines and weapons in the 2060s.
Add to that the upper end of estimates for building the submarines, at £26bn, and another £1bn for conventional military forces to protect them.
CND also adds more than £3bn for the cost of upgrading nuclear warheads and then replacing them in the 2030s.
That amount is disputed, because the MoD says the warhead and missile replacement costs are included in its overall procurement budget.
Arguably, the ultimate deterrent in an uncertain world is....
..... or alternatively
The MoD says the Faslane and Coulport bases on the Clyde have about 3,500 uniformed Royal Navy personnel, 1,700 contractors and 1,600 other civilian employees.
Of those, around 500 civilians are exclusively linked to the nuclear work, while the number is rising as other submarines, without nuclear weapons, have their bases moved to the Clyde.
At the Barrow-in Furness boatyard, there are more than 5,000 people employed by BAE Systems, and it is expected that an additional 1,000 would be taken on if the main "gateway" decision on the Successor class is made in 2016.
Is employment a reason for building the next generation of nuclear-armed sub? Not according to one Liberal Democrat minister, who said in 2012 that the government would be better spending the money on re-locating the workforce to the Bahamas.

In an answer to a religious website in 2002, Rabbi Colonel Eyal Karim implied that such an act was permissible.
He clarified in 2012 that his words had been taken out of context and that rape was forbidden "in any situation".
But his appointment, which requires the defence minister's approval, was condemned by a top female politician.
Zehava Galon, leader of the Meretz party, described Rabbi Karim as "not suitable to represent Jewish morality in any way whatsoever".
"His appalling, racist and violent statement makes women fair game," she added.
The head of the Israeli parliament's Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality, Aida Touma-Sliman of the Joint Arab List, said: "Col Karim's ruling on permitting raping non-Jewish women is similar to the fatwa of a murderous organisation that's not so far from Israel's borders."
The Israeli military, in which thousands of women serve, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it wanted to clarify that the rabbi's remarks 14 years ago came in answer to a theoretical question and did not relate to "practical Jewish law".
"Rabbi Karim has never written, said or even thought that an Israeli soldier is permitted to sexually assault a woman in war, and anyone who interprets his words otherwise is completely mistaken," it added.
The statement also stressed that Rabbi Karim was not opposed to women being recruited by the military, despite him having previously said that it should be "completely forbidden", according to Israeli media. | Canada may have found its very own Joe the Plumber in Bernard Hancock, aka Bernard the Roughneck, a 32-year-old oil-rig worker who made waves when he showed up to the House of Commons dressed in greasy coveralls and a red hard hat.

BBC Scotland understands that the Ibrox club will offer Warburton an improved package to fend off the advances of the Championship side.
Fulham are the latest in a list of five clubs to target the Rangers manager.
The Englishman is stressing he is going nowhere and money is not a motivation for him.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Warburton tweeted on Wednesday that he was "going nowhere and no club has approached me".
Fulham have identified Warburton as a candidate to succeed Kit Symons.
On Tuesday, Warburton said after his side's 4-0 Scottish Championship victory over Dumbarton: "We're into a long-term project at Rangers and we're in a good place right now.
"I respectfully always answer questions.
"I'm manager of Rangers and it's disrespectful to Rangers and to a club like Fulham, who conduct their business in the right manner.
"I'm sure they'll be disappointed in these rumours."
And, on Twitter on Wednesday evening, the manager said he was "bemused and frustrated by shockingly incorrect stories from certain media outlets".
Fulham missed out on Reading manager Steve Clarke and Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett.
Warburton, who is from London and has members of his family living in the city, has spoken to Rangers chairman Dave King about the possibility of adding to the club's squad in the January transfer window.
The former Brentford boss arrived at Ibrox in the summer and has led Rangers to the top of the Scottish Championship.
Fulham are 13th in the Championship south of the border, with former Celtic midfielder Peter Grant in caretaker charge of the first team. The Scot wants to retain his role with the development squad.

Ross Forbes has the visitors in front early before Jamie McDonagh and Gary Oliver added to the scoreline.
Jai Quitongo scored from a well worked corner kick to increase Queen's misery.
And then Morton captain Thomas O'Ware scored a penalty to wrap up an emphatic win ahead of next week's League Cup semi-final with Aberdeen.
Queen of the South had started strongly and forced a couple of early corners, with talisman Steven Dobbie lashing the ball high over the bar from the edge of the box when he should have done better.
But Morton soon took control and stunned the home fans with the opener.
Forbes cut inside Jordan Marshall effortlessly down the Morton right wing, before curling a delightful shot past the unsighted Lee Robinson in the home goal.
Midway through the first half, against the run of play, Dobbie dashed past the visiting defence and found the space to get a shot at goal, but he dragged the effort just wide of the post.
The visitors were by far the better side though and it was no surprise to see the lead doubled by McDonagh shortly after the half hour. Again, the goal came from an attack down the right-wing where Queens had looked vulnerable all afternoon.
Shock amongst the home fans turned to despair when Morton's third again came from the same area of the pitch.
This time Oliver was the man to supply a fine finish to the delight of the 150 or so travelling supporters.
Queen of the South came back into the game after the break for a spell, but couldn't convert pressure into clear cut chances.
At the other end, Quitongo showed some brilliant footwork before beating Robinson with a fine shot, only to be denied by the inside of the post.
It proved only a stay of execution, as the little striker drilled in a fine finish after a tremendous training ground corner.
O'Ware added to the hurt for Queens fans as he fired in a spot kick.

Thakor, 23, has been suspended on full pay following two incidents which are alleged to have happened in Mickleover, Derby, on 12 June.
Derbyshire and the Professional Cricketers' Association said the player was not on duty with the club at the time of the allegation.
The club said they were unable to comment further at this stage.
Derbyshire Police said they received a report that a man had indecently exposed himself to women on two separate occasions at a housing development off Radbourne Lane, in Mackworth.
A 23-year-old man voluntarily attended St Mary's Wharf police station in Derby and was interviewed in connection with the alleged offences, the force said.
He was released while inquiries continued and the report has been forwarded to the Crown Prosecution Service, which will decide whether he will be charged.
Derbyshire said in a statement: "The club has been advised that the police are investigating an allegation concerning one of our players, Shiv Thakor, when the player was not on duty with the club.
"After discussions with his representatives, the player has been suspended on full pay pending the outcome of the investigation."
Thakor joined Derbyshire after rejecting a new contract with home county Leicestershire in 2014 and signed a new three-year deal in August 2016.
The Public Administration Committee said last year's Iraq Inquiry report had, for many, failed to "provide closure" on an conflict which had left an "indelible scar" on UK politics.
A further probe might be warranted if "relevant material" emerged, it said.
It also said civil servants should have greater scope to challenge decisions if procedures were not properly followed.
The Iraq Inquiry, published last July, concluded that the then prime minister Tony Blair had overstated the threat posed by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, sent ill-prepared troops into battle in 2003 and had "wholly inadequate" plans for the aftermath.
The report, which took seven years to produce, found there was no "imminent threat" from Saddam and the intelligence case for war was "not justified".
In light of these failings and after conducting a "lessons learned" exercise, MPs on the cross-party committee have made a series of recommendations about the conduct of future public inquiries and the machinery of government. They are calling for:
Last November, MPs rejected an SNP motion calling for Mr Blair to be held to account for what he told Parliament in the run-up to the war.
Further action against Mr Blair - who has apologised for any mistakes made but not the decision to go to war - is supported by some of the relatives of the 179 British personnel who died in Iraq between 2003 and 2009.
The committee noted that many MPs who supported the decision to go to war in 2003 have since changed their minds and denounced it. But they said it was clear Parliament could have been "more critical and challenging" of the government's justification for military action at the time.
It noted that the Iraq Inquiry had reached the view that Mr Blair had not personally set out to deceive MPs about Iraq's military capability but it said the question of whether Parliament was misled was still "constantly raised" and could merit further investigation.
"After taking advice, we do not feel that Chilcot or any other inquiries provide a sufficient basis for the committee to conduct such an inquiry.
"However, we think Parliament should be prepared to establish such an inquiry into the matter if any new and relevant material or facts emerge."
Among those who gave evidence to the committee included Iraq Inquiry chair Sir John Chilcot and Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, who is the UK's top civil servant and played a key role in negotiations between the Inquiry and Downing Street about the declassification of secret material, including private correspondence between Mr Blair and US President George W. Bush.
The committee's report, which will be debated by MPs on Thursday, said Sir Jeremy and other top civil servants should have greater powers to intervene in the event of a "breakdown in collective ministerial decision-making" as it claims happened in the run-up to the Iraq conflict.
Should officials be concerned that procedures set out in the Cabinet Manual are not being followed, it says they should be able to record their concerns by issuing a formal ministerial direction or notifying Privy Counsellors.
Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, the chair of the committee, said the cabinet had been effectively "sidelined" in the run-up to the war and that strong safeguards were needed to stop this from happening again.
"When Tony Blair wanted to write that letter to President Bush saying 'we will be with you whatever', officials tried to stop him but he ignored them," he told the BBC.
"They said cabinet had not been consulted but he said 'send it anyway'. That should not be allowed to happen.
"Just as civil servants can call out what they think is a bad decision in financial decisions, the officials should be able to ask for a letter of direction if cabinet procedure is being by-passed."
A Cabinet Office spokesman said it was "always looking at ways to improve and refine how government works".
"This report will be considered as part of our ongoing work to ensure we have robust processes in place to deliver efficient public services and effective decision-making within government," it said.
Ronaldo, 18, has made seven appearances for Leeds since signing for the Championship side in September 2015.
Meanwhile, brother Romario has signed for United's development squad on a one-year contract.
"It feels great to have managed this within less than a year of first coming to the club," Ronaldo said.
"Me and my brother have played together for most of our lives - I'm happy to be sharing the same club with him again and I'm happy he's been given the opportunity."
General Sir Nicholas Houghton, the chief of the defence staff, criticised the UK policy of restricting RAF air strikes to neighbouring Iraq.
He said the decision "makes no sense" when IS, also known as Isil, has its stronghold in Syria.
MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria in 2013.
The government remains committed to action in Syria - but will not order air strikes until it is confident it can win win a vote in the Commons authorising them.
About 30 Conservative backbenchers would be likely to vote against military action and ministers are not convinced they can persuade enough of them to change their mind, or get enough Labour MPs to back their case, to win a vote.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "The Labour Party is a different organisation to that which we faced before the summer.
"We need to understand where the Labour Party is on this. At the moment even its leader doesn't always agree with its policies.
"There is an exploration process here of understanding whether the majority of Labour MPs would, in fact, back this action."
Mr Hammond told the BBC's Andrew Marr show Britain saw "eye-to-eye" with the Russians on lots of things in Syria, such as "the need to destroy Isil" but he added: "The one thing we disagree on is the future of Bashar al-Assad.
"We and most of our allies believe he needs to go at a point in the transition."
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said it is "morally indefensible" for Britain to rely on other countries to tackle the so-called Islamic State in Syria.
The new owners of Soughton Hall, near Mold, Flintshire, were contacted by Will Bankes whose great-grandparents, Wynne and Elizabeth, were the last people to live there.
He took along artefacts and papers about the 300-year-old building.
"We used to visit my great-grandmother and have tea with her in the library at Soughton," said Mr Bankes.
"We did spend a Christmas there one time when I was about five.
"I also have vivid memories of driving my grandmother's car down the long drive, sitting on her knee. It was a fascinating place to visit as a child."
Built in 1714 by Edward Conway and remodelled by Sir Charles Barry, whose iconic work includes the Houses of Parliament and Highclere Castle of Downton Abbey fame, Soughton Hall became a hotel in the 1980s, with famous clientele like Richard Burton and King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
It is now a wedding venue and has recently undergone a £150,000 refurbishment.
The memorabilia provided by Mr Bankes showed an Edwardian wedding at the house.
James Ramsbottom, whose company now own the building, was also contacted by grandmother Eve Taylor, from Hawarden, who spent much of her childhood at Soughton and served as a cook to Mr Bankes' great-grandparents.
"It is such a grand house and it is terrific to learn that it has such a grand history to accompany it," he said.
"We are asked all the time by our guests about the history of the hall and we feel it is part of our responsibility as the new owners of the building to tell them as much as we can about it."
Norfolk County Council announced immediate changes to its A47 Postwick junction scheme when traffic ground to a halt on Friday morning and evening.
Opening a new slip road sent traffic around the Postwick Hub access roads and meant flows at a crucial roundabout were worse than expected, it said.
The council apologised "to all those whose journeys were disrupted".
New traffic controls have been installed and they will be operated manually to allow for actual traffic flows.
Warning signs are also to go up to alert drivers of any potential delays.
A spokesman said: "The old bridge had been scheduled for a full closure for up to eight weeks for essential maintenance and upgrading.
"It will now remain open for use even when the new bridge opens on Saturday.
"Keeping the old bridge open will allow traffic from the Great Yarmouth direction to avoid the Postwick Hub access roads and will help to relieve any additional pressure on the Peachman Way roundabout at peak times."

For the first time anyone who buys faulty goods will be entitled to a full refund for up to 30 days after the purchase.
Previously consumers were only entitled to refunds for a "reasonable time".
There will also be new protection for people who buy digital content, such as ebooks or online films and music.
They will be entitled to a replacement, if the downloads do not work, but not a refund.
If a download also infects a computer with a virus, the provider could also be liable to pay compensation for getting the virus removed.
Your new consumer rights explained
The Act also covers second-hand goods, when bought through a retailer.
People buying services - like a garage repair or a haircut - will also have stronger rights.
Under the new Act, providers who do not carry out the work with reasonable care, as agreed with the consumer, will be obliged to put things right.
Or they may have to give some money back.
In many cases retailers offer to refund goods even when they are not faulty - for example if customers change their minds about a product - but there is no statutory right to a refund.
"The new laws coming in today should make it easier for people to understand and use their rights, regardless of what goods or services they buy," said Gillian Guy the chief executive of Citizens Advice.
When disputes occur, consumers will now be able to take their complaints to certified Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers, a cheaper route than going through the courts.
Examples of this include the Consumer Ombudsman, which is free to use for consumers. However not all retailers are signed up to such ADR providers.
The Consumer Rights Act says that goods
The Act has been welcomed by many consumer rights groups and further information can be found here.
"Now, if you buy a product and discover a fault within 30 days you'll be entitled to a full refund," said Hannah Maundrell, the editor of money.co.uk. "The party really is over for retailers that try to argue the point."
The Act also enacts a legal change that will enable British courts to hear US-style class action lawsuits, where one or several people can sue on behalf of a much larger group.
It will make it far easier for groups of consumers or small businesses to seek compensation from firms that have fixed prices and formed cartels.
Roger Gower, 37, who worked for a conservation fund, had been flying near an elephant killed by poachers when his helicopter came under fire last month.
The murder trial itself is due to be held separately in a higher court.
Tanzania lost 60% of its elephant population between 2009 and 2014, mainly due to poaching, officials say.
The four men, among nine people in total charged in connection with Mr Gower's death, pleaded guilty on Thursday to "unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition" at a court in Tanzania's main city Dar es Salaam.
They each received prison sentences ranging between 15 and 20 years.
Mr Gower was originally from Birmingham in the UK and worked in London before moving to East Africa to work as a helicopter pilot.
He was shot down in the Maswa Game Reserve, which borders the world-famous Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania.
Mr Gower managed to land his helicopter but died from his wounds before he could be rescued.
The Spaniard, seeded fifth, had called for the doctor twice before he pulled out trailing 3-0 in the deciding set against world number 94 Damir Dzumhur.
"Hopefully it's nothing, it's just the extreme conditions," said Nadal.
"I called the doctor a couple of times but I felt I was not safe there, so I decided to go."
Dzumhur, the world number 94 from Bosnia-Herzegovina, was leading 2-6 6-4 3-0 after one hour and 50 minutes when Nadal called it a day.
"Everything was fine until the end of the first set," added the 29-year-old.
"I started to feel not very good, it was getting worse and worse and worse. In the second set I realised that I was not able to keep playing. I tried to resist but I got a little bit scared to be too dizzy.
"I wanted to finish the match but I seriously couldn't."
The last match Nadal retired from was the 2010 Australian Open quarter-final against Britain's Andy Murray.
Fourth seed Stan Wawrinka was another leading name to make an early exit, the Swiss player going down 6-4 6-3 to Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov.
Sheku Bayoh, 31, was held following an incident in Hayfield Road, Kirkcaldy, on 3 May but died in custody.
His relatives claim they were told five different versions of what happened.
Peter Watson of PBW Law said: "Comments made by those representing the family of the deceased promote a completely inaccurate and misleading account."
He added: "The officer injured remains off work, has had several hospital visits and is now in rehabilitation.
"An examination by a leading consultant confirms her injuries were significant. The injuries have been documented and photographed.
"The officers involved have never refused to provide statements. It was agreed at the outset with the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) that they would revert to us when they wanted statements and when they were clear on the basis that statements were to be given.
"PIRC emailed me this morning at 10:46 asking for our assistance to organise interviews and we answered at 11:29 confirming we would be pleased to assist. Those are the facts."
Brian Docherty, Scottish Police Federation chairman, criticised comments made by the Bayoh family's lawyer Aamer Anwar.
He said: "Mr Anwar can try to throw whatever mud he wishes but the fact remains that a petite female police officer was violently assaulted by a large male and believed she was going to die as a consequence.
"In directing increasingly hyperbolic, inaccurate and bizarre rhetoric at the Scottish Police Federation, one could be mistaken for believing that Mr Anwar being at the centre of attention appears to be of greater importance than allowing the investigation to proceed without interference."
PIRC is carrying out an investigation into the death of Mr Bayoh, who had two young sons.
Last month lawer Mr Anwar said Mr Bayoh was a "well-liked, peaceful and healthy young man" who had no previous history of violence.
Mr Anwar said: "The family does not understand why the officers involved in engaging with Sheku Bayoh were not immediately suspended without prejudice after his death.
"It is a matter of wider public concern that officers remain at their desks or in contact with the public pending the outcome of the investigation into a death in custody."
The monument is part of a 2013 out-of-court settlement by the UK government when it agreed to pay £20m ($30m) in compensation to Mau Mau veterans.
It also expressed "sincere regret" for abuses committed under colonial rule.
Thousands of veterans crowded into the memorial site in Nairobi to witness the historic unveiling.
The statue shows a woman handing food to a Mau Mau fighter, their faces turned away so they could not reveal the other's identity if caught by the British authorities.
Tens of thousands of Kenyans were held in detention camps during the Mau Mau campaign. Many suffered abuses including beatings, rape and castration.
"The memorial stands as a symbol of reconciliation between the British government, the Mau Mau, and all those who suffered during the emergency period," Christian Turner, the UK High Commissioner to Kenya, said at the ceremony.
At the scene: Anne Soy, BBC News, Nairobi
Many of the veterans and their families who crowded into Nairobi's Uhuru Park were clad in red T-shirts printed with the words "shujaa wa Mau Mau", meaning "heroes of Mau Mau", the underground movement that fought against British colonial rule.
The midday sun did not deter their enthusiasm as they sang old war songs to remember their struggle for independence.
At the centre of the monument is a sculpture depicting an armed dreadlocked fighter receiving food from a woman in a traditional "kiondoo" basket. The sculptor, Kevin Oduor, told the BBC that it acknowledged the role both men and women played to liberate Kenya. "The veterans re-enacted this scene before I came up with the sculpture," he said.
Excited veterans and their families crowded around the monument as soon as it was unveiled to take pictures. There was a look of satisfaction on their faces. For many, it is a symbol of closure.
Daniel Leader, from the London-based Leigh Day law firm that represented the 5,228 victims Mau Mau veterans who sued for compensation, said the memorial was "historic" and represented "the first apology by the UK government for abuses", the AFP news agency reports.
The Mau Mau began a violent campaign against white settlers in 1952, but the uprising was eventually put down by the British colonial government.
The Kenya Human Rights Commission says 90,000 Kenyans were executed, tortured or maimed, and 160,000 people were detained in appalling conditions. A number of historians believe the figure is lower.
"I want to say to this country's friends all around the world," he told a rally in Ottawa, "on behalf of 35 million Canadians - we're back."

The BBC's Nick Bryant in Toronto says there is jubilation, but also an air of nostalgia about his victory, as the prime minister's residence is also his childhood home.
Addressing cheering supporters alternately in French and English, Mr Trudeau said: "This afternoon we can celebrate but the work is only beginning".

Young Canadians' hopes
Seven key Trudeau policies
During the 11-week election campaign, the Liberal Party said it would:
Why Harper lost
Where did Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper go wrong? After such a resounding defeat, even supporters admit some policies have backfired.
His economic message - based on low taxes and balancing the books - seemed to exaggerate Canada's ability to ride out the global downturn, whereas Mr Trudeau focused on how many people felt.
Mr Harper leader took a hard line on Syrian refugees and opposed the wearing of the niqab at citizenship ceremonies.
While there was support on both these issues, the tipping point came after he suggested a police hotline to report "barbaric cultural practices".
Bill C51, which strengthened powers of surveillance, rallied many against a perceived attack on civil liberties.
The two leaders never warmed to each other. Mr Harper pushed the Keystone XL pipeline hard on a lukewarm US president.
According to a newspaper, Mr Harper was "deeply frustrated" with a president who he felt was "incapable of making a difficult decision".
In 2006, Mr Harper pledged to clean up politics and he introduced a bill to increase accountability but failed to keep more than half of the pledges.
Harper's miscalculations
Twitter reaches out to wrong Harper
The economy loomed large during the campaign. Mr Harper highlighted his legacy of balanced budget and tax cuts, while Mr Trudeau pointed to sluggish growth to support his calls to boost demand through public spending.
Mr Trudeau's infrastructure policy is projected to cost C$10bn in the first two years, equivalent to 0.5% of Canada's GDP - tipping the federal budget into deficit. But, BBC business reporter Rob Plummer says, if the money is spent on the wrong kind of infrastructure, it may not do any good, while saddling the government with unnecessary debt.
Whatever happens, richer Canadians can expect to face a higher tax bill, handing over more than half their income in combined federal and provincial taxes, while ordinary people can look forward to tax breaks.
And in the short term, Mr Trudeau's policies may help stabilise the economy, making it unlikely that the Bank of Canada will cut interest rates further - meaning borrowing costs should remain low and house prices relatively high.
Mr Harper, one of the longest-serving Western leaders, had been seeking a rare fourth term.
He will now stand down as Conservative leader but remain as an MP, his party says.
There is no fixed transition period under Canada's constitution. Mr Trudeau is expected to be sworn in in a few weeks' times.
A 42-year-old man, understood to be Robert Daniel, was treated for an arm injury after being shot outside his home in Stepps on Sunday evening.
Detectives are treating the "targeted" attack as attempted murder.
They believe a white Audi estate driven by the suspects fled along the M80 towards Glasgow.
They are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage.
The victim was reversing his car out of his drive in Honeywell Drive, Cardowan, just after 21:00 on Sunday when a white Audi estate car pulled up and several shots were fired.
A car matching the description was later found burnt out in the Haghill area.
Officers are still trying to establish how many occupants were in the Audi and said inquiries had revealed it sped off down Honeywell Drive and into Dewar Road. It then drove onto the M80 heading towards Glasgow before finally ending up in Hogarth Park, Haghill.
Det Supt Kenny Graham said: "We are following up a number of lines of enquiry. However, we know several people were walking in Dewar Road and in the surrounding areas around the time of the incident. I would urge these people to contact us as I'm sure they have information which could assist our ongoing investigation.
"In terms of the M80, I am appealing to motorists who were on that road on Sunday night, in particular, anyone with any dashcam footage is asked to pass it on to police.
"It could offer us vital footage on the occupants of the car which could lead us to tracing whoever is responsible for this crime."
Detectives have previously said the shooting may be linked to organised crime.
Officers were continuing to carry out door-to-door inquiries and CCTV footage was still being examined.
The arrest forms part of a PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) investigation into the alleged theft of sensitive security documents.
It is understood the documents contained information the police and security service MI5 believe could put the lives of individuals at risk.
The BBC understands they were released to lawyers without authorisation from the ombudsman, or the PSNI.
The police have suspended the release of any further sensitive material to the ombudsman's office until a review of security protocols is carried out.
A 69-year-old man was arrested in Dartford, Kent, on Sunday after detectives from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch conducted a joint search with local police.
It is understood he retired from the ombudsman's office a number of years ago and that the documents do not refer to any case currently being investigated by it.
This is hugely embarrassing for the Police Ombudsman.
It's not known if the documents released to lawyers contain the names of informers or suspects under investigation, or both, but it's understood that the documents are regarded as historic and not part of any current investigation.
The fact that the PSNI statement was issued by the Assistant Chief Constable who heads its Crime Operations Department, and not the officer leading the actual investigation, is a clear indication that the issue is being taken very seriously.
There have been huge disagreements between the Ombudsman and the PSNI and MI5 over access to sensitive security material.
Some within the police and security services have strongly resisted requests for access to highly-sensitive material and expressed concern that it could be leaked. The Ombudsman's office has dismissed those concerns and pointed out that investigators with access to such information have high-level security clearance.
However, this incident will strengthen the arguments of those who want to limit the amount of material shared with the Ombudsman. That would seriously undermine the Ombudsman's ability to investigate cases where there are serious allegations of wrongdoing by current or former police officers.
In a statement to the BBC, a spokesman for the ombudsman confirmed he was alerted by police last week about the theft of sensitive material originating from the office.
"The material came to light during legal proceedings not connected to the office," he said.
"We immediately asked the police to begin a criminal investigation into how and when this happened. We also informed the Information Commissioner."
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Martin, head of the PSNI's Crime Operations Branch, confirmed that a man has been arrested as part of the investigation.
"The PSNI can confirm that it has become aware of a suspected theft of sensitive documents from within the Office of the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland," he said in a statement to the BBC.
"We have now commenced a criminal investigation and are also carrying out an assessment of any impact which may be caused by the unauthorised release of sensitive material.".
The statement added that the police and Police Ombudsman's office have agreed to "a temporary period of review during which sensitive information will not be shared."
In its statement, the office of the Police Ombudsman said it was anticipated that this suspension of the sharing of sensitive material "will be temporary."
Jordon Cox, 18, from Brentwood, Essex, was in Sheffield for a lecture and found a one-way train ticket home would cost £47.
He opted instead to fly from East Midlands Airport to Berlin and then fly from Berlin to Stansted.
Mr Cox said the journey, on 20 January, saved him about £8.
He admitted it was not an environmentally-friendly way to travel or the quickest.
More on this story and others from Essex
It took him 12 hours to get home compared with the three-and-a-half hour train journey.
• The Brandenburg Gate and free tour of The Reichstag
• Holocaust Memorial and Postdamer Platz
• Mall of Berlin and Museum for Communication
• Currywurst lunch and Checkpoint Charlie
"Obviously it isn't for everyone. Some people will just want to get home, but if you like travelling and saving money then it's a great way to do it.
"The scenery was also 10 times better than any train trip would have been."
Mr Cox, who blogs on the Money Saving Expert website, took a train from Sheffield to Derby and then a bus to East Midlands Airport, from where he flew to the German capital.
He said the trip gave him time to visit the centre of Berlin, which he probably would not have been to otherwise.
The blogger said the two flights, bus fares, his train to Derby, train fares in Berlin and lunch in the German capital cost £44.07, while the train trip plus bus fares and a sandwich would have cost £51.79.
Going from Bournemouth to Liverpool by air can work out £40 cheaper than going there by train - as long as you're prepared to go via Mallorca.
Analysis of flights and rail services shows how people who are prepared to spend longer travelling and go potentially thousands of miles out of their way can cut the costs, at the expense of their carbon footprint.
A rail ticket from Bournemouth to Liverpool Lime Street on 7 April 2016 would set someone back £113 today, according to thetrainline.com booking service.
Starting at 14:45 BST and with a change at Birmingham New Street the five-hour 266-mile journey works out at about 43p per mile.
However, someone willing to set out earlier, take a bus to Bournemouth Airport then fly at 09:10 BST to Mallorca and on to Liverpool John Lennon Airport will pay £72.31, or 3 pence per mile once the bus at the other end is taken into consideration.
The only catch is it means going a long way around, 2,642 miles in total.
It is a similar story with other flights. Going from Birmingham International to Edinburgh Waverley by rail on 2 February 2016 costs £66.51, or 22p per mile. But fly from Birmingham and stop off in Dublin and the cost is £25.91, or 5 pence per mile.
Whether the environmental impact is justified by the cost is a matter for debate.

The 31-year-old, who grew up in Luton, said the man had remarked: "I ain't sitting near a Muslim" on a train service on Wednesday.
"His ignorance is his own ruin," she added in her tweet about what happened.
Hussain has previously spoken about racist abuse and how "it feels like that's become a part of my life now".
"I expect to be shoved or pushed or verbally abused, because it happens, it's happened for years," the mother-of-three told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
She won the 2015 series of the hit baking show and has gone on to become a columnist, author and television presenter.
A contestant from this year's Bake Off, Rav Bansal, replied to Hussain's tweet saying he had recently had a similar experience.
"You are a much better person then he will ever be," Bansal said.
A spokeswoman for Hussain was unable to confirm any further details about the incident.
Last week Hussain told the BBC's 100 Women season she thought it was important not to "feed negativity with negativity".
She said: "I live in a lovely country. I don't want my kids to grow up with a chip on their shoulder.
"Those negative people and those negative comments are the minority and I don't let that dictate how I live my life."
Sixteen executives, including Europe's richest woman, the L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, offered in an open letter to pay a "special contribution" in a spirit of "solidarity".
Later the government is due to announce tighter fiscal measures as it seeks to reassure markets and curb the deficit.
They are expected to include a special tax on the super-rich.
Before the announcement, expected on Wednesday evening, a letter appeared on the website of the French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur.
It was signed by some of France's most high-profile chief executives, including Christophe de Margerie of oil firm Total, Frederic Oudea of bank Societe Generale, and Air France's Jean-Cyril Spinetta.
They said: "We, the presidents and leaders of industry, businessmen and women, bankers and wealthy citizens would like the richest people to have to pay a 'special contribution'."
They said they had benefited from the French system and that: "When the public finances deficit and the prospects of a worsening state debt threaten the future of France and Europe and when the government is asking everybody for solidarity, it seems necessary for us to contribute."
They warned, however, that the contribution should not be so severe that it would provoke an exodus of the rich or increased tax avoidance.
The move follows a call by US billionaire investor Warren Buffett for higher taxes on the American ultra-rich.
The French government has already said it is working on a special tax on those earning more than 1m euros (£900,000) a year.
The measures are expected to be part of a new package aimed at cutting up to 14bn euros from the budget deficit over the next two years.
It is not clear exactly what form they will take, but they are expected to include a reduction in tax breaks and increased taxes on big companies.
The government has been forced to act after recent fears that France's AAA credit rating could be downgraded.
France plans to trim its public deficit to 5.7 % this year, 4.6 % next year and 3% in 2013.
Sutton, 34, told BBC Sport he is a victim of probability and assumption.
Suspicious betting patterns were reported after he lost 6-0 to Jamie Burnett in an International Championships qualifier last year.
"Straight away I gave over my phone, email account and my bank details as I had nothing to hide," Sutton said.
There is no suggestion Burnett was involved in any wrongdoing.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) ruled last week that Sutton was guilty of match-fixing and misusing inside information following an earlier hearing.
Irishman Sutton said he was given 10 days' notice of his invitation to the match in question, and that he felt unwell during the game after a long weekend with friends in Tipperary.
"During the match I knew I was struggling and was trying so hard to get something going but just felt empty and weak," he said.
The father-of-four from Drogheda added: "I will absolutely be appealing this.
"I honestly feel that I am being made a scapegoat as I'm a nobody in the world game. They can afford to brush me aside while being seen as flexing their muscles by showing zero tolerance for breaches of the rules.
"If there's evidence then [they should] make it a criminal case.
"I am a youth group leader in the local community and my wife and I are also trying to get on the list to become foster parents, both of which have had to be stopped because of these findings."
Sutton, who faces a lengthy ban, believes he came under suspicion as two men who placed big wagers on him to lose each practise at his local snooker club.
"They are not friends of mine but I do know them," Sutton said.
"They had another snooker bet on the same day and lost over £4,000 but this was not mentioned.
"Straight after the game I was called into the tournament director's office and it was explained to me about the suspicious betting patterns.
"The amount of anger and disbelief I felt cannot be described.
"I have never been approached by anyone about match-fixing or been aware of a situation of someone I know being approached."
The WPBSA has declined to respond to Sutton's comments, saying it would be inappropriate ahead of a sanction hearing, which is likely next month.
The emergency services were called to the scene at about 23:20 on Sunday.
Detectives have said the man was stabbed during a confrontation. He died a short time later at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
Police Scotland's major investigation team are working on the case and have appealed for witnesses to make contact with them.
The examination of CCTV images has started, along with door-to-door inquiries.
Det Supt Allan Burton said: "A man has died following a violent attack which took place in the middle of the street and it is absolutely imperative that we trace the despicable individual responsible.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in Tweed Avenue, or the surrounding area, between 2230 and 0030 hours last night to please come forward.
"No matter whether you think you have any significant information, let our officers determine that, as you may be able to assist with the investigation."
The department he takes control of is expanded compared to the last executive - it now has responsibility for skills and higher education, as well as economic development.
The fact it was the DUP's first pick suggests the party views it as the most strategically important role.
It puts Mr Hamilton in a position where he will be expected to deliver on his party's top manifesto commitment of "more jobs, rising incomes".
Those four words cover a multitude of issues including skills, the manufacturing slowdown and a weak export performance.
Among the first items in his in-tray will be student financing and university places.
If Northern Ireland is to benefit from cutting corporation tax, it is going to need to produce a reliable pipeline of skilled graduates.
But the universities are actually cutting places for local students because of falling budgets.
So, the issue of raising fees to tackle the funding gap is on the agenda.
The DUP First Minister, Arlene Foster, did not rule out an increase in fees during the election campaign, though Sinn Féin is opposed.
Another thorny issue in his agenda is renewable energy - the Northern Ireland subsidy system has all but collapsed due to changes driven by Westminster.
The DUP manifesto has promised a review, to examine how to develop the sector "at least cost to consumers and business".
Mr Hamilton's department is also sitting on a plan to tackle economic inactivity - it was drawn up by the last executive but had no budget to take it forward.
Tackling this issue, which can be seen as "hidden unemployment", will be a factor in increasing Northern Ireland's employment rate.
There are also the chronic problems of low productivity and wages alongside a weak export performance.
The DUP manifesto hints at action there, mentioning an "up-scaling plan" and "better jobs".
Though, of course, if the UK votes to leave the EU, as Mr Hamilton's party would like, he will quickly find himself having to define and defend Northern Ireland's role in the new trading arrangements that the UK will have to negotiate.
It can discriminate between different types of fabric by looking, touching and listening, in the latter case by using ears in its fingers.
The robot has been built in a laboratory at Glasgow University.
The project has reached the end of its first three years of EU funding. It involves researchers from Scotland, the Czech Republic, Italy and Greece.
The technology could lead to household robots and more jobs for the Scottish textile industry.
It has taken years to get the robot, nicknamed Dextrous Blue, to do the sort of things we humans take for granted.
While robots are now able to take solids and liquids in their stride, fabrics have proved more of a challenge. Until now.
Dextrous Blue stands about 8ft high.
He (the consensus among the research team is that he's male) has a pair of huge, blue, mechanical arms of the kind that may have built your car.
The arms are attached to a strong, swivelling base which is bolted through the concrete floor of the lab to stop him going walkabout. He's a big lad.
At the end of the arms two specially-designed and surprisingly delicate grippers are ready to do the sorting and folding.
Two electronic eyes in the form of digital cameras look down.
And behind all that a massive amount of computing and programming which combines robotic intelligence, sensing and coordination to enable Dextrous Blue to sort wool from cotton from polyester and more.
Research associate Dr Gerardo Aragon said: "The most difficult aspect was to understand the dynamics and the interaction with these type of materials.
"Because they are not completely solid.
"They are very floppy and very difficult to understand what's going on."
Dextrous Blue goes about its chores in a methodical way. It looks at a pile of clothes, has a good long think about how to sort them out, then the big blue arms swing into action.
Dr Paul Siebert, reader in computing science at Glasgow University, told me the advances the project had produced.
"The key innovations behind this machine are the use of vision and how we understand the scene in terms of providing very, very high accuracy in our depth sensing," he said.
"So we treat the clothing as a sort of mountain range and then parse that range into its different shapes, which allows the machine to build up a picture of what state the clothing is in.
"This sounds very trivial, the sort of thing a person could do instantly.
"But to get a machine to do this is a phenomenally difficult task."
How can Dextrous Blue tell the different fabrics apart? Dr Siebert says that among other innovations are those ears in his fingers.
"These grippers are special in that they are a particular shape to allow clothing materials to be picked up.
"Inside that module is an array of sensors that detect pressure.
"So roughly, as we can feel the texture of clothing so the machine can feel the texture.
"But it also has an ear inside there - a microphone - so that it picks up the sound of the texture.
"The gripper is designed so it can rub and therefore we can determine the material type by tactile sensing and listening to the sound of it rubbing."
Dextrous Blue makes his own decisions as he goes along. There's no-one wielding a joystick.
Doctoral student Kevin Li Sun told me that means the robot must work out the most basic things for itself.
He said: "The most difficult part was to design a fully autonomous system.
"To let it know when to start, and how to make the solution for the situation.
"And after the task has finished he will know when the task is finished."
Kevin said there had been a lot of what he called "fine theory" in his work. But it has had its upsides too.
"People say doing a PhD is boring and very difficult", he said.
"But I have the chance to play with this robot.
"It really gave me a lot of fun."
The official name for the project is CloPeMa, short for Clothes Perception and Manipulation. It may one day lead to household robots that can sort your socks or make sure the reds don't get in with the whites.
But Dr Siebert hopes it could also bring textile jobs back home.
He said: "Perhaps the most immediate and serious application is onshoring - how to be able to produce perhaps small runs of custom clothing affordably without having to send it to the other side of the world.
"So you reduce carbon footprint, you increase profitability and you bring textile manufacturing back to Scotland."
There is another possibility which looks likely to win the hearts and minds of even the most convinced Luddites.
It may be only a matter of time before the research creates a robot that can do the ironing.

Ex-defender Pemberton, 51, played with former England and Arsenal forward Wright while at Crystal Palace.
Abraham, 18, scored his 10th goal of the season on Saturday in City's 4-0 win at Fulham.
"Tammy is very much like Ian Wright with regard to being in the right place at the right time," said Pemberton.
"Ian Wright could create something out of nothing and Tammy is the same with regards to goalscoring.
"He's frightening and he just has this knack of getting there when you think he can't do it, and that is something Wrighty had as well," he told BBC Points West.
Abraham is expected to shake off a dead leg picked up over the weekend to feature against Leeds United on Tuesday.
The Chelsea loanee has helped filled the void left by Jonathan Kodjia, who joined Aston Villa for an initial £11m.
"He is like a sponge, he wants to take everything on board," said Pemberton. "Losing Kodjia has not hurt us as much as we thought it may do and at the moment we feel we might have the better deal."
Yn ôl y Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ac Iechyd Cyhoeddus, Rebecca Evans, mae'r penderfyniad i wahardd y cadeirydd Dr Paul Thomas a'i ddirpwy Adele Baumgardt yn un "niwtral".
Ond mae'r gweinidog wedi codi gwaharddiad yn erbyn bwrdd rheoli'r corff a phenodi Lawrence Conway'n gadeirydd dros dro.
Dywedodd Ms Evans fod yr adolygiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi datgelu tensiynau rhwng y tîm rheoli a bod y berthynas broffesiynol wedi chwalu.
Mewn datganiad yn y Senedd, dywedodd: "Hoffwn ei gwneud yn glir, er mwyn osgoi unrhyw amheuaeth, fod y casgliadau'n ymwneud yn bennaf â methiant yn y berthynas rhwng aelodau ar lefel uwch yn Chwaraeon Cymru.
"Mae yna faterion sydd dal angen sylw o ganlyniad i'r broses adolygu.
"Yn ogystal, mae nifer o gwynion ffurfiol wedi eu derbyn gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi i'r adolygiad gael ei gwblhau."
Dywedodd hefyd fod Adele Baumgardt wedi ei hatal o'i swydd o ganlyniad i bryderon eraill yn ymwneud â "gweithrediad cydlynol y bwrdd".
Mae'r gweinidog wedi penodi Lawrence Conway yn gadeirydd dros dro. Mae Mr Conway yn gyn ysgrifennydd preifat i Rhodri Morgan yn ystod ei gyfnod yn Brif Weinidog Cymru.
Bydd John Taylor, sy'n gyn brif weithredwr ACAS, yn gweithio gyda Mr Conway fel ymgynghorydd er mwyn sicrhau bod y bwrdd rheoli yn gallu gweithredu'n gywir ac yn gallu gosod y gyllideb ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesa.
Ym mis Tachwedd 2016, fe gafodd gwaith bwrdd rheoli Chwaraeon Cymru ei wahardd dros dro gan y gweinidog, a dywedodd fod ei phenderfyniad yn "weithred niwtral".
Ychwanegodd bod y cadeirydd Dr Paul Thomas a'r is-gadeirydd Adele Baumgardt wedi cytuno y dylai "holl weithredoedd y Bwrdd gael eu gwahardd am y tro".
Mae un adroddiad mewnol a welwyd gan BBC Cymru o waith Chwaraeon Cymru - a oedd yn hynod feirniadol o "weledigaeth wan" y corff - yn awgrymu y dylai'r corff weld newidiadau sylweddol.
Murray helped Manila Mavericks beat Singapore Slammers 27-19 to claim their first victory of the event.
The Scot and Kirsten Flipkens beat Serena Williams and Lleyton Hewitt 6-1 in the mixed doubles.
Murray then saw off Australian Nick Kyrgios 6-5 in the singles, which was decided by a five-minute shootout.
It brought an end to the Briton's participation in the inaugural IPTL, and he will now head to Miami to begin his annual off-season training block.
"I think a lot of people were sceptical about it," Murray said of the IPTL.
"But if you look at the amount of people who have showed up here, there's been unbelievable support from Friday through to Sunday; it shows the people here love tennis. I hope we can come back next year and do it again."
After failing to register a victory over the first two days in Manila, Murray got on the scoreboard alongside Flipkens in a one-sided doubles as world number one Williams made her debut in the competition.
The American made amends in the following singles set with a 6-3 win over Flipkens.
It looked as though Murray's year would end with a defeat when he trailed the big-serving Kyrgios 5-4, but the former Wimbledon champion broke back to force a shootout.
With the 20-second shot clock driving the pace of play and the winner decided over the course of five minutes, Murray let a 4-0 lead slip and led 6-5 as the clock counted down.
A lengthy baseline rally had the crowd enthralled with victory up for grabs, and Kyrgios cracked first with a backhand into the net.
The four-team competition will now move to Singapore for three days, starting on Tuesday, before heading to Delhi and Dubai. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are among the players set to feature.
The seven metre (22ft) long object was discovered on the seabed during a routine sonar survey on Saturday.
A remote operated vehicle (ROV) has also captured video footage of the weapon, which is lying 32m (104ft) below the water's surface.
The Orkney Harbour Master has asked shipping vessels not to anchor within 1,000m (1093 yards) of the torpedo.
Royal Navy divers from the Northern Diving Group at Faslane are expected to view the video footage when they visit Orkney later this week.
The Martime and Coastguard Agency said it poses no immediate danger.
Bev Allen, duty controller for the UK Coastguard, said: "Until the Royal Navy divers have had a chance to examine the footage and the object we are asking that vessels and divers keep at a safe distance and follow the instructions of the Harbour Master and the UK Coastguard."
Scapa Flow was used as a Royal Navy base in both world wars and is now popular with divers due to the British and German relics lying on the seabed.
More than 50 German ships were deliberately sunk in the area at the end of World War One by their commanders to stop them being divided among the Allies.
Now, as politicians, union leaders, and business tycoons discuss how to prevent the UK steel industry from becoming history, here are some steel facts:
Basic oxygen steelmaking v electric arc furnace
The vast majority of steelmaking in the UK is conducted using the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) method. Oxygen is blown through liquid iron from the blast furnaces, which lowers the carbon content of the alloy and changes it into low-carbon steel.
Most steel from Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Russia, China and Japan is also made using this method.
In Italy, Spain, India, and the US, the majority of steel is made using the electric arc furnace (EAF) method. Steel production in electric arc furnaces is almost completely based on re-using scrap steel.
In the UK, EAFs are used to produce special quality steels steels alloyed with other metals, and some ordinary (non-alloy) quality steels.
Birth of the skyscraper
Because of its innovative use of steel in a metal weight-bearing frame design, the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, which opened in 1884, is often referred to as the first skyscraper.
It was a 138 feet (42m) tall, 10-storey building, designed by William Le Baron Jenney. In 1890 two further floors were added.
His design was new as it incorporated steel into the building's internal metal frame, alongside traditional cast and wrought iron. In combination with load bearing masonry it provided a more economical building design.
The building was demolished 47 years later in 1931. The building weighed only one-third as much as a similar stone building.
A plaque later placed at the site of the original building stated that it was the "first high building to utilize as the basic principle of its design the method known as skeleton construction and, being a primal influence in the acceptance of this principle was the true father of the skyscraper".
Garden cans and miners' baths
After World War Two a shortage of steel in the UK meant that supplies had to be carefully allocated, particularly when the demands of industry, repair to UK infrastructure, and house-building needs were taken into account.
One surprising side-issue emerged in May 1946 when John Belcher, MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade. was asked whether, "in view of the urgent need for increased food production", he would provide steel to manufacturers of high-quality garden cans, "since at the present time market gardeners are unable to obtain them".
Mr Belcher replied that there were "no restrictions on the manufacture of garden cans, but the manufacturers are short of labour and there are difficulties in getting steel in the right gauges".
He added: "The manufacturers are also very busy with orders for other important products such as dustbins, miners' baths and buckets."
High-strength steel was developed by the-then nationalised British Steel in the 1960s in order to build a new, enlarged, aircraft hanger at Heathrow for airline BOAC.
It was soon realised that such a material could be used in a sporting context, and one of the first uses of the new steel was for Celtic Football Club in Glasgow, who were constructing a new stand.
The new 9,000-seater grandstand was built from April to August 1971, in readiness for the opening of the 1971-72 season.
The roof was supported by a huge-central spine girder, which was 320 feet (97.5 metres) long.
At the time this was the largest tubular steel girder of its type in the whole of Europe. Huge strengthened steel girders have since been used in a number of major UK sporting stadiums, and overseas.
Stainless steel
There are many claimants to the title of inventor of stainless steel, including from the UK, Germany, France, Poland, US, and Sweden.
However, what is generally accepted, is that in 1912 Sheffield researcher Harry Brearley, of Brown Firth Laboratories, was given the task of coming up with a way to extend the life of a client's gun barrels, which were eroding away too quickly.
He began experimenting with steel alloys containing chromium, and made several variations of his alloys, ranging from 6% to 15% chromium with differing amounts of carbon.
On 13 August 1913 he came up with a steel with 12.8% chromium and 0.24% carbon, argued to be the first stainless steel. It was later marketed under the Staybrite brand by Firth Vickers in England.
There are now 150 grades of stainless steel used in everything from watches and cutlery to automotive and aerospace construction.
Lt Gen Othman al-Ghanimi told the BBC he hoped the jihadist group would be defeated in the city before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins on 26 May.
Recent gains in the north meant the remaining militants were being squeezed into an ever smaller area, he added.
Mosul fell to IS in 2014 and is its last major urban stronghold in Iraq.
Pro-government forces launched a major offensive to retake the city in October with the support of US-led coalition air strikes.
They managed to take full control of the eastern half of Mosul in January and started an assault on the west the following month.
Fewer than 1,000 militants are now besieged in several north-western districts, including the Old City, along with as many as 450,000 civilians.
"The security forces are carrying out a big and effective effort. I say that Daesh (IS) will be finished in days, God willing," Gen Ghanimi told BBC Arabic's Feras Kilani.
"I say that the rest of Mosul will be liberated before the holy month of Ramadan."
A week ago, units from the army's 9th Armoured Division and the interior ministry's Rapid Response Force opened a new front in the north after the advance into the densely-populated Old City from the south and west stalled.
Progress in the north was initially limited by fierce resistance from militants using suicide car bombs and snipers, but Gen Ghanimi said gains were now being made.
On Wednesday, police commander Lt Gen Raed Jawdat said the Rapid Response Force had stormed the entrances to the Iqtisadiyeen district, south-east of Mushairfa, and killed dozens of militants in heavy clashes.
The United Nations has said the battle has left more than 8,000 civilians dead or wounded, but that figure only includes people transferred to medical facilities.
Iraq's military does not release casualty figures, but a US general said at the end of March that 774 Iraqi security personnel had been killed and 4,600 wounded.
More than 620,000 civilians have also been displaced by the fighting, among them 414,000 from western Mosul, the Iraqi authorities say.
Most have taken refuge in nearby camps and reception centres. Others are staying with relatives and friends.
The UN says another 100,000 to 200,000 could flee the final battle for the Old City.
On Monday, the International Committee of the Red Cross expressed concern for civilians inside IS-led districts, saying they were facing "very stark choices" as supplies of food and water ran out.
"This population is not only exposed to the immediate dangers of the conflict itself and being either targeted or hit as collateral damage, but is also facing the effects of just no longer really having much access to the basic essentials that they need to live," deputy Middle East director Patrick Hamilton told Reuters news agency.
"People don't have enough to eat, don't have water," he added. "Babies, elderly and so on of course they are very vulnerable and may already be dying."
China's CNPC has agreed to buy $400bn (£240bn) of gas from Russia's Gazprom.
Russia will ship 38 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas annually over a period of 30 years.
The deal will lessen Russia's dependence on European buyers, who have imposed economic sanctions because of the crisis in Ukraine.
The construction ceremony was attended by Russian President Vladmir Putin and Chinese Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli.
China will start work on the construction of its side of the pipeline in the first half of 2015, Mr Zhang said.
The first gas will be pumped from Siberia to north-east China in early 2019.
Over the past 10 years, China has used other gas suppliers. Turkmenistan is now China's largest foreign gas supplier. Last year, it started importing piped natural gas from Myanmar.
China is Russia's largest single trading partner, with bilateral trade flows of $90bn (£53bn) in 2013.
The two neighbours aim to double the volume to $200bn in 10 years.
Most of the bodies found on the streets of Bujumbura appear to be young men killed by gunfire, some with their hands tied behind their backs.
The bodies were found a day after attacks on military sites. Residents accuse police of taking revenge.
Unrest has blighted Burundi since an attempted coup in May and protests over the president's continued rule.
The attempt to overthrow President Pierre Nkurunziza followed his decision to seek a third term in office, which he won in a disputed election in July.
BBC Africa analyst Richard Hamilton says bodies on the streets are almost a daily occurrence in Bujumbura but this is by far the largest number of deaths in one night.
The largest number of bodies found on Saturday were in Bujumbura's Nyakabiga district, a focus of anti-government protests.
Others were discovered in the southern neighbourhood of Musaga. There are reports of more bodies in other parts of the city.
Residents accuse the police of detaining young men during house-to-house searches on Friday and then murdering them.
But a police spokesman told Reuters there were no "collateral victims" and that those killed had been behind attacks on government installations.
Friday saw some of the worst violence since the unrest began. Officials described heavily armed attackers launching co-ordinated assaults on army installations in three areas - Ngagara, Musaga and Mujejuru.
An army spokesman said 12 insurgents were killed.
According to the UN, at least 240 people have been killed since April and more than 200,000 have fled to neighbouring countries.
There have been regular killings of both opposition activists and Nkurunziza supporters.
The violence has raised fears of a return to worsening ethnic tension between Hutus and Tutsis.
Mr Nkurunziza led a Hutu rebel group against the then Tutsi-dominated army during the civil war that followed the killing of Hutu President Melchior Ndadaye in 1993.
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.

A spokesperson at Mumbai's Saifee Hospital said Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, 36, had lost 100kg since arriving in India in January.
"We are trying to get her fit enough to fly back to Egypt as soon as possible," the hospital said in a statement.
Her family said she had not left her house for 25 years until she came to Mumbai on a chartered plane.
The spokesperson told the BBC that she was likely to lose more weight in the coming months.
The surgery was performed by a team of doctors led by bariatric surgeon, Dr Muffazal Lakdawala.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (having a body mass index of 40 or above or 35 plus other obesity-related health conditions).
Ms Abd El Aty's family says she weighed 5kg (11lb) at birth and was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition in which body parts swell due to a parasitic infection.
By the time she was 11, her weight had risen sharply and she suffered a stroke which left her bedridden.
She is cared for by her mother and sister.
However, Dr Lakdawala told the BBC in December that he believed Ms Abd El Aty did not have elephantiasis but suffered from obesity-related lymphoedema which causes gigantic swelling of the legs.

Joseph Eke, 22, is accused of fatally attacking Harry House at the family home in Broadmayne, Dorset, on 26 May 2016 while Harry's mother was out.
He denies murder, wounding, actual bodily harm and grievous bodily harm.
The jury heard Mr Eke was a heroin addict and had attacked the mother for refusing to give him drugs money.
He is also accused of injuring the boy on two previous occasions.
Giving evidence at his trial, Mr Eke said he and Harry's mother, Lauren O'Neill, had been in Weymouth about two months after Harry's death when he kicked and punched her.
He told Winchester Crown Court: "I was a heroin addict, a crack head, that was what my life revolved around. She wouldn't give me money to score heroin."
Mr Eke, of St Lawrence Road, Upwey, Weymouth, told the court he had enjoyed caring for Harry, who called him "Daddy Joe Joe".
Jurors previously heard that Miss O'Neill, 22, had gone to the local shop when Harry suffered his fatal injuries.
But Mr Eke told the court he had not had any contact with the boy during that time and had instead been sitting on the sofa talking to his mother on the phone and looking at the internet.
He said, when Miss O'Neill returned she asked him to check on Harry in his room.
He told the court: "He stood up, looked over at me and said, 'Joe Joe, I feel sick'.
"I said, 'What do you mean, sick?' He pointed at his tummy. I turned around, went downstairs and said to Lauren, 'Can you get a sick bowl' and we both went upstairs."
Mr Eke said he was concerned Harry was having a diabetic sugar low so gave him sugar and put water on his face.
He said when Miss O'Neill called for an ambulance, he told her not to, believing Harry had food poisoning.
He told the court he felt "panicky" and "didn't know what to do".
When asked whether he punched or kicked Harry, he replied: "I didn't kill him, I wouldn't kill him. I wouldn't harm a kid."
Jurors previously heard Harry died as a result of a blunt-force impact to the abdomen that split his pancreas in two.
A post-mortem examination also showed he had a "potentially fatal" fractured skull.

Recent reports of abuse within football coaching came as no surprise to social workers, Sharon Shoesmith told PM on BBC Radio 4.
But social workers kept quiet because "you just didn't have the confidence", said Ms Shoesmith.
It was vital to counter vilification of the profession, she said.
Baby Peter Connelly died in 2007 after months of abuse at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend and his brother.
He had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months.
His mother, Tracey Connelly, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and his brother, Jason Owen, were jailed in May 2009 for causing or allowing the child's death.
Ms Shoesmith was sacked as director of children's services for the London borough of Haringey in December 2008 by the then children's secretary Ed Balls.
But in 2011 the Court of Appeal ruled that she had been unfairly dismissed, describing her as "unfairly scapegoated". She was later awarded £679,452 in compensation.
She has since written a book, Learning from Baby P, based on a PhD she has completed.
She told PM presenter Eddie Mair that she has been "up and down the country" talking to social workers about her experiences.
"And they are telling me they have taken great strength from the book, from sitting down and understanding this story.
"My main message to the social work profession is there is only one set of people who can change this vilification of social workers, which is very, very embedded in our culture, and it is they themselves who have to take this on.
"And we have talked in some considerable depth and I have run workshops and so on about how the social work profession might begin to counter this because I think it's absolutely vital that they do.
"There is not a social worker in the country who has been surprised that there has been child abuse within the football coaching regimes because we know it - no surprise to them - and yet we don't talk about it - they are quiet about these things.
"I would never have talked in any depth while I was director of children's services about children's social care and what the challenges were in a place like Haringey.
"I would never have done that because you just didn't have the confidence to do it.
"So this book is about in many ways empowering the social work profession."

It is the first time in nearly 35 years that the communists and their far-left allies have lost power in a state which they had come to regard as an electoral stronghold.
But it also a spectacular personal triumph for Ms Banerjee who has overcome the odds to stage a remarkable victory.
In 2006, the TMC won 10% of the seats in a local assembly election, while the left-wing coalition won nearly 80% of the seats. In national elections in 2004, the TMC won only one of the 42 seats of West Bengal state.
At that point she was considered something of a "political oddball".
But her energy, charisma and political astuteness has enabled her to bounce back from the political wilderness into the mainstream of West Bengal politics.
The 56-year-old is the founder and chairperson of the TMC - which she set up in 1998 after falling out with the Congress Party in West Bengal.
Unlike most politicians who quit the Congress party, Ms Banerjee has not sheepishly returned to the party after the independent venture failed.
Instead the TMC grew in popularity over the years because of her firebrand oratory and her support for causes that were widely popular throughout her home state.
In recent years, for example, the party has been at the forefront of opposition to West Bengal's controversial policy of building Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in rural areas - a cause that won her much admiration in a state where large parts of the electorate still earn their living from the land.
Taking up the issues of small farmers, Ms Banerjee became an overnight cheerleader of West Bengal's rural poor, realising that revolutionary action sometimes works wonders with them.
"She resorted to Marxist rhetoric, whereas Marxist parties changed their class position and started acquiring farmers' land for private investors," said political commentator Biplab Chakravarty.
Mamata Banerjee was born in Calcutta in January 1955 to a lower middle class family and initially started her political career with the Congress party.
As a young woman in the 1970s, the colourful graduate from the University of Calcutta was speedily promoted - on one occasion she even danced on the bonnet of a political opponent's car.
She has succeeded throughout her political life in pulling off colourful political stunts like this while simultaneously embracing a Gandhi-like frugal lifestyle - seldom spending money on clothes, cosmetics or jewellery and often to be seen with only a simple cotton bag on her shoulder.
In the 1984 general election Ms Banerjee became one of India's youngest ever MPs, defeating a veteran communist candidate.
Even at this early stage of her career, she proved her ability to make an impact on the national political stage while simultaneously strengthening her West Bengal power base.
She lost her seat in the 1989 election, only to bounce back in the 1991 poll to become a minister in the government of PV Narasimha Rao - she has retained her Calcutta South seat in five votes since then and is currently India's railways minister.
But over the years she became disillusioned at what she saw as endemic corruption both within the Congress party nationally and within the communist party of West Bengal.
In her home state it became clear that the woman popularly known as "Didi" - elder sister - had the popular touch, staging "walkathons" throughout the state surrounded by her raucous supporters and a phalanx of security men.
Using folksy rhetoric she has over the years relentlessly lampooned her communist opponents, often using native limerick and doggerel.
Commentators say that throughout her career she has been consistent in her anti-left stance, a tough negotiator in her alliances and a street-fighter.
"She's an archetypal rebel," says former BBC correspondent Subir Bhaumik.
In a country where female politicians are often cruelly caricatured, the indefatigable Ms Banerjee is one of the few mass leaders left in India. | The triumph of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) party in West Bengal is a double cause of celebration for this most resilient of politicians. | 13,297,763 | 904 | 41 | false |
Protesters refused to take an alternative route suggested by police in central Santiago and hurled stones at them, the government said.
Students said they were brutally attacked by riot police.
They are demanding that the government of Michelle Bachelet speed up reforms that will guarantee free university education for all Chileans.
"We are tired of waiting," read banners carried by students in the demonstration.
President Bachelet took office in 2014, promising to implement a number of social measures to reduce inequality. She had served a first term between 2006 and 2010.
One of the most contentious issues during the government of her centre-right predecessor, Sebastian Pinera, was Chile's educational system, which critics say favours the private sector.
She said policies guaranteeing everyone a free education would show that the country was heading in the right direction.
Last year, however, Ms Bachelet's government scaled down the reforms as Chile faced an economic downturn.
Many left-wingers felt betrayed by the change of pace.
On Saturday, during Ms Bachelet's annual state-of-the-nation address violent protests erupted in Valparaiso.
Demonstrators set up barricades and hurled firebombs in Valparaiso, where Chile's Congress meets. Police fired tear gas and water cannon.
A security guard died from fume inhalation when masked protestors burned a pharmacy and supermarket.
"We are going to stay on the streets. From today onwards, we expect that the protests will only intensify," said Marta Matamala, head of the University of Santiago student union.
Matt Machan top scored with 103, adding 96 with captain Preston Mommsen (56) and 98 with Richie Berrington (52), as Scotland made 296-6 in their 50 overs.

While Scotland know they will face sterner tests than their fellow International Cricket Council (ICC) associate member when the World Cup begins this weekend, they will take heart from an assured batting display after Mommsen won the toss at Blacktown International Sportspark in the Sydney suburbs.
Former skipper Kyle Coetzer fell to Max Sorensen (3-55) without scoring but his opening partner Calum MacLeod made a steady 41 before Machan, Mommsen and Berrington helped the Scots post a formidable total.
In reply, Ireland captain William Porterfield (23) and Paul Stirling (37) added 57 for the first wicket before Evans ripped through the top order.
Five wickets fell for 20 runs in less than five overs, and Gary Wilson (15) was the only other Ireland batsman to make double figures as they collapsed to Haq and Josh Davey (2-36).
Ireland, who lost to Sydney club side Randwick Petersham last Friday, play their final warm-up game against Bangladesh at the same venue on Thursday, the same day that Scotland head across the city to face West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Both Ireland and Scotland then head to New Zealand for their opening group games, with Ireland meeting the Windies in Nelson on 16 February, and Scotland up against co-hosts New Zealand in Dunedin a day later.
In Tuesday's other warm-up game in Adelaide, India opener Rohit Sharma smashed 150 from 122 balls, including seven sixes, as they made 364-5 against Afghanistan.
A shock looked possible when India were 16-2 early on, but Sharma added 158 with Suresh Raina (75) and 95 with Ajinkya Rahane (88 not out).
Usman Ghani (44) and ex-captain Nawroz Mangal (60) led Afghanistan's reply but the loss of four wickets for 16 runs in mid-innings ensured India maintained their supremacy, although the Afghans managed to bat their full 50 overs and finished on 211-8, losing by 153 runs.

Lawro's opponents for this weekend's FA Cup semi-finals and Premier League fixtures are former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas and Radio 1Xtra DJ Trevor Nelson, who is a Chelsea fan.
Jenas and Nelson made their predictions live on Radio 1Xtra's Charlie Sloth show on Thursday.
Jenas, who played for Spurs between 2005 and 2013, will be at Wembley on Saturday as a BBC pundit for his old club's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
"From a neutral point of view, this is the game everyone wants to see right now with the two top teams in the Premier League going at it," Jenas said.
"I don't think there has been a bigger game in the FA Cup for a few years now.
"Everyone was expecting Chelsea to run away and win the league - now we get the opportunity to see them go head to head to get to the final."
Nelson, who has been a Chelsea season ticket holder for more than 20 years, will be at the game as a fan and thinks his side are underdogs.
"Tottenham are the favourites," Nelson explained. "They are playing some fluid football.
"I have to be honest with you, when they come on the TV now I don't like watching.
"But what I do is go out of the room for half an hour and when I come back in they are always 2-0 up, and the game is over. They are destroying everybody."
* Chelsea to win AET and pens
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.

Bournemouth v Middlesbrough (Premier League)
Bournemouth were thumped at Tottenham last weekend - they lost 4-0 but the scoreline could have been anything.
Middlesbrough went down to a much narrower defeat, losing 2-1 at home to Arsenal on Monday, and have now gone 15 league games without a win.
Boro still aren't much of a threat when they attack, and that is the biggest difference between the two sides - the Cherries struggle defensively sometimes but they are good going forward.
While Boro have the staunch smell of relegation about them, Bournemouth probably only need one more win to be safe, and I think they will get it on Saturday.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Jermaine's prediction: 2-1
Trevor's prediction: 2-1
Hull City v Watford (Premier League)
Watford already look safe, after last week's win over Swansea took them to the 40-point mark.

Hull still have work to do but they will be confident of winning this game because of their home record under Marco Silva, who has picked up 16 points out of a possible 18.
The Tigers are not only good at the KCOM Stadium, they are very good in the second half there - that is when they have scored 10 of their 14 goals during that unbeaten run.
They always seem capable of stepping things up later in the game if they have to, which is an extremely useful in their situation.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Jermaine's prediction: 1-0

Swansea City v Stoke City (Premier League)
Swansea have taken one point from their last six matches and boss Paul Clement says this is the club's biggest game since the Championship play-off final in 2011.
I agree, but I am not confident they will win it.

For whatever reason, Swans striker Fernando Llorente was just not at it during their defeat by Watford last time out. Swansea badly need a performance from him this time.
It is hard to know what to expect from Stoke, who ended a four-game losing streak by beating Hull, but I am going to go with a draw.
That is not really enough for Swansea but, unlike Hull who are full of self-belief at home, I think the Welsh side are short of the confidence they need to get themselves out of trouble.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Jermaine's prediction: 1-1
Trevor's prediction: 1-2
West Ham v Everton (Premier League)
West Ham are another team who are clear of the relegation scrap, although the Hammers still have issues.
For some reason Slaven Bilic's future as manager remains in doubt, when the real problem behind their disappointing season is their poor recruitment last summer.
Everton's home form is very impressive but away from Goodison Park they have won only one out of six league matches in 2017.

When they are on the road, the Toffees just don't seem to create the same number of chances that they do at home, so I am going to go for a draw here as well.

Trevor's prediction: 1-3
Chelsea v Tottenham (FA Cup, 17:15 BST)
I have heard people say that, if Tottenham beat Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, it will help them win the Premier League too.
Personally, I don't think the outcome of this game will make any difference whatsoever to the title race.
Chelsea struggled last weekend in their defeat against Manchester United, and since then it has emerged that some of their players were suffering from a virus.
I quite like the fact that Blues boss Antonio Conte did not use it as an excuse after the game, and I also don't think they will play as badly again here.
Media playback is not supported on this device
FA Cup semi-finals are horrible games to play in because all everyone is thinking about is how the final is so close.
They are nearly always tight and this one will be the same. I am going to go with Chelsea to win it - but it will be very extremely close.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1* Chelsea to win after extra-time and penalties
Jermaine's prediction: 1-2
Trevor's prediction: I don't want to do this. I am going to for the same scoreline, the other way, because I have got to back my team. But if you told me to put money or my house on it, you might get a different prediction. 2-1
Burnley v Man Utd (Premier League, 14:15 BST)
We all know about Burnley's home record, and this is a tough one for Manchester United straight after their Europa League tie against Anderlecht.
Burnley did pretty well for an hour against Everton last week but then things went wrong in the last 20 minutes.
United boss Jose Mourinho got everything right against Chelsea and I always feel he finds it easier to get a positive result when he has to work out how to stop another top team.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He can come up with a plan to stop that sort of opposition from winning a game but he cannot necessarily come up with a plan to win a game when the opposition are trying to stop him.
I am going to go for another draw here - hopefully I will get one of them right.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Jermaine's prediction: 1-1
Trevor's prediction: 1-3
Arsenal v Man City (FA Cup, 15:00 BST)
I think this semi-final will be close as well, even though neither side is great defensively.
If Vincent Kompany is back for Manchester City, he makes a massive difference to everyone around him - a bit like when John Terry was at his peak for Chelsea.

Arsenal's switch to play with three at the back in their win at Middlesbrough on Monday felt like a last throw of the dice by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Even if Arsenal get through this tie and win the final, then as much of an achievement that would be it should not change the decision over Wenger's future, because I think it is time for a change.
In fact, winning the FA Cup would be the perfect way for him to bow out. I don't see it happening, though.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Jermaine's prediction: I think it will be wide open, even if the fact it is a semi-final will calm it down a little bit.
In my head I am thinking 3-3 but Arsenal are just not free-flowing or playing well at the moment and City will have Kompany back too. 1-3
Trevor's prediction: I don't care for either team at all so it will be a great watch, because both teams only have one way of playing - going on the attack.
City are overwhelming favourites because of their frontline, but neither team can defend. If Kompany is fit for this game, City win - it is simple as that as far as I am concerned, because Arsenal don't have a Vincent Kompany. 2-4
Liverpool v Crystal Palace (Premier League, 16:30 BST)
I have to say that Liverpool's last two results - wins at Stoke and West Brom - were as good as any result they have had all season.
The Reds were all over the place for the first 45 minutes against Stoke but still found a way to win that game and, in all honesty, they could have scored two or three against the Baggies.

Philippe Coutinho is playing extremely well and when that happens, so does Roberto Firmino.
It means that, even without Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson, Liverpool look dangerous.
I know Crystal Palace have been going well, and it will be interesting to see how Christian Benteke gets on back at Anfield,
But if Liverpool can cut off Benteke's supply, I would expect them to win this one.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Jermaine's prediction: 1-2
Trevor's prediction: 2-1
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
*Does not include scores from postponed games.
Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy)
Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week 28, but only five games played so far) or 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)
From last week's Premier League games, Lawro got seven correct results, with no perfect scores, from 10 matches for a total of 70 points.
He beat Sting and his son Joe Sumner, who got six correct results with no perfect scores, for a tally of 60 points.
Fans' groups planned to lay memorabilia at the statue outside the ground on Saturday but have alleged it was taken down to thwart the action.
Demo organisers also said the club would take legal action to stop fans gaining access to the statue.
Nobody from Blackpool FC or its owners the Oystons was available for comment.
A demonstration against the way the Oyston family run the club is due to take place before the last game of the season on Saturday. This could see the already-relegated team finish with the least number of points recorded in the Championship.
Fans group the Tangerine Knights said it had a witness who saw men in high-visibility jackets removing the statue on Tuesday.
"To remove the statue of someone so beloved by the fans of the club that they themselves helped pay for, is beyond contempt," said a joint statement by the Tangerine Knights and the Blackpool Supporters Trust.
"Stan Mortensen is a hero to tens of thousands, most of whom never saw him play, he is an icon of all that is good about BFC and the community to which it belongs."
The Tangerine Knights said the police told the group the club would take legal action against anyone trying to place memorabilia at the statue.
"We are sure that the club will have some legitimate reason for the removal, however the timing is very coincidental," said the group.
Christine Seddon, of the Blackpool Supporters Trust, said: "I can't say I'm surprised, we don't know why it has gone but I suspect it has something to do with our demonstration."
The statue was placed outside the ground in 2005 as a tribute to the Seasiders' centre forward who scored a hat-trick in the team's famous 1953 FA Cup Final victory. Fans raised part of the funds.
Sterling rose 1% against the dollar to $1.2490 after UK inflation in February rose to 2.3%, driven by rising fuel and food prices.
The stronger pound weighs on companies that earn their income abroad.
At the close, the FTSE 100 was down 0.69% at 7,378.34 points, with mining companies the top five fallers.
Glencore was the biggest casualty, falling 4.24%, followed by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, each down about 4%.
However, another miner, Fresnillo led the risers with a 1.64% jump. The gold miner benefitted from a rally in the precious metal's price, which is now at a three-week high.
The London market has risen for the past four trading sessions in a row, notching up three record closes along the way.
However, sterling's rise to its highest level since 23 February has raised worries about how it may hurt profits when London-listed multinationals repatriate profits back to the UK.
Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, said: "The pound's post-inflation increase boost continued into the afternoon, creating a heavier and heavier weight for the FTSE.
"It will be now interesting to see whether the pound can maintain these gains as attention shifts to next week's triggering of Article 50, or whether its current highs merely give it more room to fall."
The mid-cap FTSE 250 index hit a record high in early trading, before turning negative. The index ended down 0.86% at 18,988 points.
Across Europe, Germany's Dax was down 0.7% and the Cac 40 in France was 0.2% lower.
On the oil markets, the price of Brent crude was down 0.7% at $51.24 a barrel, with traders left unconvinced by the possibility of Opec extending output cuts beyond June.
More than 200,000 declassified documents are being made public on Monday. They date from the 1940-1944 regime of Marshal Philippe Petain.
During the war the Vichy regime helped Nazi Germany to deport 76,000 Jews from France, including many children.
France is also opening files from its post-liberation provisional government.
The Vichy documents come from the wartime ministries of the interior, foreign affairs and justice, as well as the police.
Some of the archives relate to war crimes investigations conducted by the French liberation authorities after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Speaking to French TF1 television news, historian Gilles Morin said the archives would probably shed new light on the arrest of Jean Moulin, a French Resistance leader who died after his capture and torture by the Nazis in 1943.
Police records and notes seized from French Resistance comrades will now add to the witness statements that researchers have relied on until now, Mr Morin said.
"There is also a demand from the children of deportees, and of those who were executed, who want to know - and that's a legitimate demand," he said.
Previously only researchers and journalists could see some archives, with special permission. But public access is provided after 75 years have elapsed, under French law - and that is now the case, for 1940-dated documents.
The current mayor of Vichy, in central France, told The New York Times that he was concerned about the enduring stigma attached to his city. It was where Petain - a World War One hero - established his collaborationist regime.
"There are many stories about this city, and then there's the truth," he said, "because that period was very complicated and has been incorrectly defining this city for too long."
Former French Resistance fighter Lucien Guyot told the paper that the Petain government "went far beyond the Germans' expectations, in particular with the deportation of 'foreign' Jews, including children, to concentration camps, and they chased us down with a vengeance".
"But it was the government's actions that were unforgivable, not this city's," he added.
In 1995, then French President Jacques Chirac officially recognised the French state's responsibility in the deportation of Jews.
"These dark hours forever sully our history and are an insult to our past and our traditions," he said. "Yes, the criminal folly of the occupiers was seconded by the French, by the French state."
The team say they will know for certain on Thursday, but a decision to take the extra engine parts Hamilton needs would mean a drop of at least 20 grid places.
A series of failures early in the season meant that Hamilton used up more engine components than planned.
He heads into the race 19 championship points ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Six wins in the past seven races for Hamilton have turned around what had been a 43-point advantage for the German after the first four races of the season.
A spokesman said the team were still working through the requirements and consequences related to any decision to take the penalty in Belgium.
The other option is to wait until the Italian Grand Prix the following weekend.
Drivers are allowed to use a maximum of five of each of the six parts of an engine before a grid penalty is incurred.
Hamilton has already used the maximum permitted five items of two elements of the complicated turbo hybrid engine - the turbocharger and the MGU-H, the electric motor that recovers energy from the turbo.
Teams are given a 10-place grid penalty each time they use a sixth example of any component, so using one new of each of these means a 20-place grid penalty for Hamilton.
There are only 22 cars on the grid and a driver can only go to the back no matter how many theoretical grid penalties he suffers for using additional engine components.
So Mercedes may choose to take two new examples of each of these parts to bring them into line with the number of the other parts of the engine he has used.
Hamilton has so far used three each of the internal combustion engine, MGU-K, energy store and control electronics.

The Spiders took the lead midway through the second half through Chris Duggan's penalty following Scott McMann's foul on Paul Woods.
Vincent Berry slotted home the hosts' second after the break.
Clyde replied through John Gemmell, who headed home Mark McLaughlin's cross, but the visitors could not draw level and slipped to fourth.

1.3 billion people live in China, more than any other country in the world.
The laws called "The One-Child Policy" were introduced in 1979 because the Chinese government were worried that their population was growing too fast.
BBC reporter Jo Floto is in China and told us what this new ruling might mean for the country.
Mr Koinange apologised Thursday night for the 17 November incident, saying it was the show's last episode on KTN.
He was hosting Miguna Miguna and Esther Passaris, aspirants for the Nairobi governor seat, when the off-air personal attack was made.
Mr Miguna said "Esther is so beautiful everybody wants to rape her".
"You are chasing men all over, nobody wants you," he continued. "You think you're beautiful, you are not. Esther is just colour. Without colour you are nothing."
Ms Passaris, a politician and businesswoman, then accused him of being a racist.
The footage of the incident was shared online with many people criticising Koinange for failing to intervene.
Kenya's Gender Affairs minister Sicily Kariuki accused KTN of allowing guests on its show to engage in personal attacks and for the "trivialisation" of rape.
Mr Koinange said that he was prepared to "man up" over the incident and said he was apologising to those who had been "aggrieved".
"It was regrettable in most parts but again it was one show out of 300 we've done here at KTN for the last three years." he added.
A former aide of Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga, Mr Miguna has filed a complaint with the Media Council of Kenya saying that he was filmed "secretly" and portrayed as unfit for the position of governor in next year's elections, reports say.
Ms Passaris tweeted after the show saying "men like Miguna have no place or role to play in our empowerment. He is part of the problem."
Koinange is an award-winning journalist who has worked for top broadcasters in the US including CNN where he was the Africa correspondent until 2007.
He started working for K24, a local TV station in 2009, before moving his popular show to KTN.
He said the show would be making a return on another station in the coming weeks:
"JKL is not going anywhere it is just changing homes", he said.
Lloyd led the Glamorgan charge as he blasted 81 off 55 balls, but found little support as Sri Lankan seamer Nuwan Kulasekara claimed 4 for 28.
Sussex lost regular wickets and never threatened to reach their target of 160, as van der Gugten took 4 for 17.
Glamorgan have six wins from seven completed matches.
The second biggest home contribution came from captain Jacques Rudolph with 24 off 12 balls, before the closing seven overs yielded just 36 runs.
Glamorgan fell away badly against a powerful Sussex attack including England pair Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills.
But the home seamers started equally impressively with just one boundary in the opening six power-play overs.
Van der Gugten was backed up by Michael Hogan, Graham Wagg and Craig Meschede with two wickets apiece.
Glamorgan, who face fourth-placed Middlesex on Friday, 8 July at Richmond, move to within two points of south group leaders Gloucestershire with two games in hand.
Glamorgan opener David Lloyd told BBC Wales Sport:
"It's a funny old game, you can go from 97 to nought and now 81, but hopefully I can keep this run going for a bit longer - it was one of those wickets where you had to get yourself in and then take advantage of the bad ball.
"We thought we were about thirty under par, so to bowl them out as convincingly as we did, we're very pleased and hopefully we can take that into the Middlesex game.
"Sussex are probably one of the strongest teams in the league, so to beat them is a real bonus for us.
"We play (leaders) Gloucestershire at home on Sunday, so if we do get a positive result (against Middlesex) and again on Sunday, we should be more or less qualified hopefully."
It fell again today - a move some are interpreting as a second devaluation.
However, the system China has put in place means the yuan could, in theory, keep on devaluing.
As long as it decides it wants it to.
For the first time the central bank is allowing the market to play a part in setting the exchange rate.
The central bank, the People's Bank of China, said in a statement: "Since China's trade in goods continues to post relatively large surpluses, the yuan's real effective exchange rate is still relatively strong versus various global currencies, and is deviating from market expectations.
"Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the yuan's midpoint pricing to meet the needs of the market."
Before Monday the official rate for the yuan or renminbi was arbitrarily fixed each day by the bank.
Since then bank has said it will still fix the rate, but will base it on the level it reached in the market on the previous day.
So in theory the market will dictate the rate at which the yuan is traded at at the beginning of each day.
The devaluations of the last two days have therefore been in response to the downward pressure of the market on the currency, with Wednesday's opening rate reflecting Tuesday's close.
However, in reality the central bank will intervene in the market to keep some control over the exchange rate.
On Wednesday the yuan fell almost 2% during the day as investors aggressively sold it off.
But it was then yanked back by the central bank buying equally aggressively just before the close. So the new trading level on Thursday will be only 0.8% lower than the start of the previous day's trade.
Jonathan Fenby, managing director of the China team at Trusted Sources believes that the central bank really is moving towards liberalisation.
He said: "What you've done is gone to market fixing for the currency. It's still controlled. There's still a 2% band either side of the fixing. But this is a move towards market liberalisation."
He says that there is a genuine desire among the reformers in the government to liberalise the exchange rate as well as to stimulate the economy through a devaluation.
He said: "The reformers in China, the modernisers, want the economy, everything, including the currency to be much more affected by, and set by, market forces rather than by the authorisation of a one party state."
Jade Dernbach's superb 6-35, finished with a hat-trick, saw Gloucestershire all out for 220 in the 48th over.
Kumar Sangakkara (60) and Rory Burns (56) then shared a stand of 101 to put Surrey in control on 143-2.
But eight wickets went down for 71 runs as they were all out for 214 with three balls remaining in the final over.

It was Gloucestershire's ninth win in 10 Lord's one-day finals - and the perfect way for Geraint Jones, who had earlier hit a half-century himself, to bow out in his final game before retirement.
For dejected opposite number Gareth Batty - caught by man-of-the-match Jack Taylor in the final over to spark wild scenes of Gloucestershire jubilation - it was the former Worcestershire and England spinner's third Lord's final defeat, all of them by Gloucestershire.
They did not appear to have put enough runs on the board despite a Jones-inspired recovery from 108-5 to 220-7, in which Taylor contributed 35 off 26 balls.
And 15 deliveries were left unused after Dernbach finished off the innings by claiming the wickets of Jones (50), and then Craig Miles and David Payne for successive first-ball ducks.
Surrey lost openers Jason Roy and Steven Davies early during a superb new-ball spell by James Fuller (2-34), but Sangakkara and Burns gradually got on top.
However, just when Surrey looked to have the game in their grasp, both were out in the space of 13 balls and the tail buckled under mounting pressure as they suffered their sixth defeat in 11 Lord's finals.
It briefly looked as if 17-year-old Sam Curran (37) might steer Surrey home against the county for whom his late father Kevin used to play.
But he holed out on the long-on boundary off the first ball of the final over, and skipper Batty followed two balls later, picking out Taylor at deep mid-wicket.
Since the very first limited-overs cup final in 1963, there had been 52 end-of season showdowns at the home of cricket prior to this contest.
Of those, four - from 2010 to 2013 - were 40-over finals starting at lunchtime.
But, of the remaining 48, which started in the invariably advantageous atmospheric conditions of a September morning, the side batting second won 32.
It was therefore hardly a surprise that Surrey, having won the toss, should choose to put Gloucestershire in, but their opponents proved that a greater team spirit is even more important, by simply never giving up and confounding the odds.
Dernbach's figures were the third-best in a Lord's one-day final, bettered only by Glen Chapple's 6-18 for Lancashire against Essex in 1996 and Joel Garner's 6-29 for Somerset against Northants in 1979.
His hat-trick was the third in a domestic showpiece, matching Ken Higgs for Leicestershire against Surrey in 1974, and James Averis for Gloucestershire against Worcestershire in 2004 - when the middle victim was Batty.
But the manner in which Dernbach finished the innings to earn his best-ever limited over bowling figures was highly contentious.
TV replays showed the ball going down leg side, a poor decision by umpire Rob Bailey, but it was also a 'full bunger' to last man David Payne.
Following the injury that ruled out Zafar Ansari, Surrey called 40-year-old former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood into their side, two days after his appearance at The Oval in a Cricket for Heroes match, in which he dismissed Brian Lara and Brendon McCullum.
This time his 10 economical overs brought him 2-28, but his departure, stumped for five, was one of a series of rushes of blood which cost Surrey the chance of silverware.
Team-mate Sangakkara's innings may have been his last at Lord's now he has retired from international cricket.
It did not match the stunning 166 he scored in the semi-final win over Nottinghamshire, but he played faultlessly, getting the majority of his runs in ones and twos and hitting just three boundaries, until uncharacteristically gifting his wicket to spinner Jack Taylor.
Skipper Batty was one of only four Surrey players who played in their last Lord's winning team in 2011, but this time ended up on the losing side despite winning the toss and seeing his decision to bowl first apparently pay off.
If they were disappointed, ex-England wicketkeeper Jones was elated by Gloucestershire's victory, having played a sensible last innings to get them back in the game.
After reaching his 50 with a pull for four off Dernbach, he was bowled with the very next ball, but he had done enough to warrant a warm reception on his way back to the pavilion.
In the US, the comedian Stephen Colbert leant into the camera on the Late Show recently and said: "I have a special message for anyone watching tonight's show on their Samsung Galaxy Note 7. 'Run for your lives!'"
Other comics had similar riffs of their own. Twitter is swirling with Galaxy Note 7 jokes.
This was not meant to happen. The Note 7 was intended as Samsung's answer to Apple's iPhone 7. If the smartphone industry is really a branch of the fashion business, Apple is king of the catwalk. Its iPhone has an iconic image as an object of desire.
But Samsung thought it was finally dispersing that almost mystical aura around the iPhone by producing phones of similar elegance. The Galaxy Note 7 was meant to be the elegant, cool rival, launched a full month before the iPhone 7 to gain an advantage over Apple.
When the Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were unveiled, they got rave reviews for their sleek elegance and the sales followed. The Galaxy Note 7 was meant to consolidate that success and, sure enough, when it was unveiled it too got really good reviews.
In May this year, new figures showed that Samsung had outsold Apple in the United States, Apple's back-yard.
But a nice phone is nothing if it catches fire.
Samsung, in its drive to extend battery life, overextended itself on the technology.
There is a trade-off between the size and power of batteries on the one hand, and their capacity to catch fire on the other - bigger batteries with shorter-battery lives are less prone to fires than smaller ones. Obviously, Samsung didn't get the balance right.
Samsung is part of the fabric of Korean society. Indeed, the country is sometimes called the Republic of Samsung. You can be born in a Samsung hospital, play in a Samsung amusement park, live in Samsung apartments and finish your days in a Samsung funeral parlour.
The company's activities go from shipbuilding to insurance to electronics. It is the country's biggest company and its revenue accounts for a fifth of the South Korean economy.
People are proud of it. Boys - or at least their parents - grow up with the dream of becoming a salaryman at Samsung.
So a monumental mess-up (as two recalls and a cancellation of a product must surely be) might hurt national pride.
And it will hurt Samsung's profits. Some 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s were sold at the price of about $800 (£655). That total figure alone adds up to more than $2bn (£1.6bn) - not enough to bring the company down, but enough to hurt.
And that's before they take account of the unquantifiable cost to the image of the brand.
The monumental mess might also make people question whether Samsung is all its cracked up to be. It is the biggest chaebol (as these very Korean, family-owned-and-run conglomerates are called). Some politicians argue that they are sclerotic and ill-suited to nimble footwork in fast-changing markets.
It may also make Samsung look again at its ways of production.
It takes great pride in the fact that it makes its components itself. Unlike Apple, it doesn't outsource to factories in China and the rest of South-East Asia. The exploding batteries issue may make it review that policy - though it could be argued that making components in-house increases control over quality.
And the monumental mess may prompt the question of who is in charge.
Samsung's chairman, Lee Kun-hee, is a very sick man and nobody expects him to return to work. His son, Lee Jae-yong (often known as Jay Y Lee) will take over formally at some stage (of that there is no doubt - the son will rise). Critics of the Korean way of business say that the son is inexperienced and may not be the best person for a job he got by virtue of heredity.
And there will no doubt be a resurrection of an ongoing debate about chaebols and whether they are too cosy with government and too contemptuous of the law.
In 2008, Mr Lee senior was found guilty of tax evasion and financial wrongdoing. Police raided his home to investigate allegations that Samsung was bribing influential prosecutors, judges and politicians. He was given a suspended sentence and the country's president pardoned him a few months later.
All these questions may come to the fore. This row is not just about a smartphone.
The passenger and driver were both pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on the A36 at Steeple Langford near Salisbury on Monday afternoon.
Their Ford Fiesta was in collision with a Mercedes Sprinter van driven by a 45-year-old man from Southampton who sustained minor injuries.
Wiltshire Police have asked any witnesses to get in touch.
The crash happened at 15:25 BST as the Ford Fiesta travelled south and the van travelled north on the A36.
The young people who died are both from the Salisbury area.
The van driver was taken to Salisbury District Hospital for treatment but has since been released.
The road was closed for about six hours for investigations to be carried out.
The families of the deceased have been notified but formal identification has not yet taken place.
The National Childbirth Trust and the Royal College of Midwives said the drop in the home birth rate, from 2.9% in 2008, to 2.7% in 2009, was "disappointing".
The figures also show an increase in multiple births.
This was most marked in women over 45, where around one in ten had twins, triplets, quads or more.
Recent government policy has been to give women choice over where to give birth - whether in hospital, at home or in a birthing centre run by midwives.
It followed a dramatic fall in births at home in the UK in the last 30 years.
In the 60s, around one in three women gave birth at home. This fell to a record low of one in a hundred home births by the late eighties.
The proportion of home births has risen slightly every year since then, with a small decrease between 2008 and 2009, according to the figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
In England, 17,834 women (2.7%) had a home birth in 2009, down from 2.8% of home births in 2008.
Wales fared better, with 3.8% of 34,574 births at home, an increase over the previous year.
In Scotland, 873 women (1.5%) had a home birth, out of 59,363 births. And in Northern Ireland, 91 women (0.4%) had home births out of a total of around 25,000 births.
Cathy Warwick, General Secretary of the Royal College of Midwives, said the drop in the home birth rate was "a real disappointment".
She said: "These figures suggest to me that we are not providing the choice that women want and deserve, and that commissioners are not doing enough to offer them that choice.
"My worry is that increasing pressures and demands being made on midwives and maternity services are driving out choice for women.
"There is a real need to look behind these figures to find out why our home birth rate is so low and why it is falling."
Mary Newburn, of the charity The National Childbirth Trust, said they believed women were finding it more difficult to book a home birth.
She said: "There is no evidence of a reduction in demand, but we know maternity services are additionally stretched due to a rising birth rate and too few midwives.
"The option of booking a home birth should be offered as a mainstream option for all women who want it, alongside options to book for care at a birth centre and at a hospital maternity unit."
The ONS figures show that overall, births fell in 2009, the first annual decrease since 2001.
There were 706,248 births in England and Wales in 2009, down from 708,711 in 2008, a 0.3% decrease.
An army bomb disposal team is examining a suspicious object at Glenrandel in Eglinton.
The road has been closed since early on Thursday morning. The Foyle arena on the Limavady Road is open for residents seeking shelter.
Jenny Bell lives in Glenrandel and her elderly grandparents had to leave their home.
She said it was a "big shock wakening up to this news".
"My granny is recovering from cancer and my granddad has Parkinson's disease," she said.
"There are a number of elderly residents in the area. It is all going on outside our front door.
"We have been advised to stay inside. We have never had anything like this in Eglinton before."

Matt broke the deadlock on the half hour when hew bundled Orient defender Yvan Erichot off the ball, advanced towards goal down the left, then drilled his shot past goalkeeper Alex Cisak at the near post.
The home side had Cisak to thank for restricting the visitors' advantage to just one goal at the interval, denying Brad Potts at close range before diving at the feet of Colin Daniel as the Blackpool player was about to pull the trigger.
The home side's best effort came in the 32nd minute when Gavin Massey hit the woodwork from 25 yards.
But Blackpool doubled their lead on 58 minutes when defender Tom Aldred was left completely unmarked to head in a corner.
The home side looked dispirited until Paul McCallum's looping header with two minutes left offered them a lifeline, but the visitors were able to contain a late rally.
There were combined protests before and during the game involving 300 Orient and Blackpool supporters protesting at the manner of ownership of their respective clubs.

Scottish Natural Heritage said the birds faced "continued pressures" across the area.
The report confirms black grouse numbers in southern Scotland are in long-term decline.
Scientists predict that drop is likely to continue unless "strategic action" is taken to address the situation.
The information is contained within the report Black Grouse Conservation in Southern Scotland - the product of a joint SNH, Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) and South Uplands Partnership (SUP) research project.
The report concluded that black grouse survive where they have large patches of moorland to live in.
It seeks to lay the foundations for a "landscape-scale approach" which would focus on protecting known "core" populations before increasing the population numbers and connections to other patches on the landscape.
Sue Haysom, the project manager within SNH, said: "The report provides a key foundation for strategic action and identifies the next steps to save black grouse in the south of Scotland.
"Black grouse, like many species, face a range of pressures and need our help.
"This report sets us on a firm foundation and identifies how our limited resources could be used to best effect."
She said the next step was for everyone with an interest in the black grouse to work together to develop a "strategic conservation plan".
Pip Tabor, project manager with the SUP, said: "The SUP is really pleased that this study has confirmed the need for a landscape-scale approach to black grouse conservation.
"We sincerely hope that funds will now be found to deliver the necessary actions so that we can keep this charismatic species thriving in the Southern Uplands."
Dr Phil Warren, senior scientist at the GWCT, said the black grouse of southern Scotland had "severely declined" and now only occupied "a fraction of their formerly occupied range".
"Here, urgent conservation action is required to prevent further decline and to stabilise numbers," he said.
"This project provides an important evidence base and we look forward to working and engaging with land managers and other partners to develop and implement a landscape scale plan to conserve black grouse here."
The visitors deservedly went in ahead in the 13th minute with their first goal of the season through 19-year -old striker Daniel Agyei, who has joined on loan from Burnley.
Agyei intercepted Danny Devine's pass before racing into the penalty area and clipping the ball over the advancing Colin Doyle.
Coventry were good value for their half-time lead but Bradford came back into the game after 66 minutes when Coventry defender Jordan Turnbull, making his debut after joining from Southampton, pulled down Billy Clarke as he burst into the area and was sent off.
Bradford skipper Tony McMahon equalised from the spot and three minutes later they went in front with a superb low 25-yard shot into the corner of the net from winger Mark Marshall.
McMahon then put the result beyond doubt with his second penalty after Josh Cullen was brought down by Vladimir Gadzhev in the 75th minute.

According to the advice, revealed by Russian newspaper Izvestia, tattoos are a useful indication of character.
"Special attention should be paid to tattoos around the face, and on the sex organs and buttocks," it notes.
The defence source said it was a matter of health and appearance, not soldiers' sexual orientation.
Russia maintains a large conscript army with a long history of personnel problems that include bullying, ethnic tensions and malnutrition, as well as death and injury during training exercises.
Many young men try to avoid the call-up through obtaining legal exemptions or by other means.
In a US TV interview in 2010, Vladimir Putin, Russia's current president, said openly gay men were not banned from serving in the Russian military.
The guidelines, which cover all aspects of military life, are quoted as saying that tattoos may indicate a "low cultural and educational level" and "possible sexual deviations".
A young man who allows himself to be tattooed may be inclined to "submit to the will of others", they warn.
Two unnamed sources interviewed by Izvestia - a military psychologist and a deputy battalion commander - argued that gay soldiers were an unwelcome distraction in the army.
However, an unnamed senior defence ministry official told Russia's Ria-Novosti news agency: "The commander and his deputy should monitor the health of the soldier and his appearance, not his sexual experience and sexual orientation."
The state of a soldier's skin was more properly a question for army medical commissions, he added.
News of the guidelines comes as the country's parliament debates a controversial bill to outlaw the promotion of homosexuality among children, which some campaigners see as a veiled attack on gay rights.
The Jay Report said more than 1,400 children were abused in the town from 1997-2013. It said taxi drivers played a "prominent role" in the abuse.
Rotherham Borough Council said the report had had a "significant impact" on confidence in the town's drivers.
Among the proposed changes are more rigorous checks on past criminality.
Dave Richmond, the council's director of housing and neighbourhood services, said that while the council's policy was "compliant with the law and our standards exceed those of some areas", it was felt the authority "should do all that we can to make sure we have some of the highest standards nationally and a top quality service".
There are 1,200 drivers registered in Rotherham, 80 operators and 800 vehicles.
A council spokesman said: "This policy represents probably biggest overhaul of licensing policies conducted by this authority at any point in the last 20 years."
Under the proposed new policy all drivers of black cabs and private hire taxis who are UK citizens must have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service report. Applicants who have lived overseas must satisfy the council of their previous good character.
The council will also apply tougher standards when considering past criminality, particularly concerning sexual activity, violence, children, vulnerable adults, dishonesty or drug dealing.
Drivers will also be required to complete a course to ensure they understand matters relating to adult and child safeguarding, pass a tougher communication and knowledge test and adhere to a dress code.
The proposed changes will be debated by the council's licensing board on 27 October.
If agreed the policy will be put out to an eight-week public consultation.
The council said proposed changes to national legislation could take considerable time to come in to force and failing to strengthen current standards would not offer the necessary safety, comfort and reassurance to customers.
Can Dundar, the editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet daily, and Erdem Gul, the paper's Ankara bureau chief, face life imprisonment if found guilty.
Their report and video footage attracted a political storm in Turkey and a lawsuit filed by the president.
Turkey faces severe criticism over its press freedom record.
The journalists, who deny the allegations against them, reported that trucks belonging to the Turkish intelligence agency MIT were used to carry weapons to Islamist opposition groups in Syria.
Video footage published alongside their report purported to show Turkish police officers intercepting the trucks and discovering crates containing weapons and ammunition.
The government claimed that the intelligence trucks were carrying aid to the Turkmen minority in Syria - a Turkic speaking ethnic group.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan personally filed a lawsuit against the newspaper.
"This paper has engaged in acts of espionage. Whoever wrote this story will pay a heavy price for this," Mr Erdogan said on television in May.
Both Mr Dundar and Mr Gul are accused of conducting espionage and aiding the Fethullah Gulen movement - which was previously a close ally of Mr Erdogan but is now considered a terrorist organisation by Turkey's government.
"They ask us why we published that story," Mr Dundar said. "The history of journalism is full of such examples as Watergate or Wikileaks that show states would like to keep some facts secret. But it's for common good to bring them to light."
The charges have been heavily criticised by press freedom groups.
"This case will seriously damage Turkey's pledge to carry out EU reforms and the promised standards of fundamental rights and freedoms," said Erol Onderoglu from Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
Turkey ranks 149th amongst the 180 countries in RSF's World Press Freedom Index 2015.
The social housing body has been reassuring tenants after concerns about cladding emerged in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in London.
NIHE confirmed cladding was used during the refurbishment of Eithne House and Cuchulainn House in the New Lodge area.
Whincroft House and Carnet House in east Belfast are currently being clad.
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) said it has used two different systems to insulate the four Belfast towers but both systems were tested to British safety standards.
However, the housing body said it has also arranged meetings with the manufacturers of the cladding "to receive extra reassurance".
The NIHE carries out regular safety inspections at all 32 of its high-rise buildings but "follow-up checks" were undertaken on Wednesday and Thursday, in the aftermath of the London fire.
Its staff also held an emergency meeting with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service on Thursday afternoon to seek advice on any further action necessary.
In a statement on Thursday, the Belfast-housing body said it would be "wrong to speculate as to the cause of the London fire".
NIHE added it would "await the preliminary findings before drawing any initial conclusions".
"If there are lessons to be learned from the investigation we will take those on board and as a responsible landlord, we will undertake any actions that are required".
The housing body said it wanted to reassure its tenants that "their safety is taken extremely seriously".
It pointed out that all NIHE tower blocks have "fire-resistant" staircases, smoke alarms in communal areas and were designed with fire breaks on every floor.
Cladding has recently been completed at Eithne House and Cuchulainn House - two of seven tower blocks in the New Lodge, north Belfast.
According to the housing body, the buildings have been covered with a "rainshield rainscreen system made up of PvC panels, with Rockwool insulation underneath".
"The system was tested by the Building Research Establishment to British Standard BR135," the NIHE statement said.
The same system is currently being used at the ongoing refurbishment of Whincroft House in the Braniel area of east Belfast.
A different system has been commissioned to refurbish Carnet House in Dundonald.
The NIHE said the Carnet House project is using a "BBA (British Board of Agrement) external wall insulation system which consists of 120 mms of fire retardant polysterene, covered with a 9mm reinforced plaster render".
The housing body assured the BBC's Nolan Show that both systems had been tested to the same British safety standards.
Speaking on the same programme, North Belfast MLA Nichola Mallon said that since the London fire, a number of residents have been in contact with her about safety concerns, which she has raised with NIHE.
"It isn't about scaremongering, but it's about quickly establishing the truth and the facts, and then learning lessons from that and acting swiftly," she said.
The SDLP MLA welcomed the NIHE's review of its 32 tower blocks and a similar move by the Department of Health to check hospital buildings.
But Ms Mallon said her party was now calling for a "full assessment, in terms of safety and fire, of our public and private high-rise accommodation".
The 22-year-old Sussex fast bowler, who had been tipped to play for England, died in Scotland in January.
Earlier a willow tree was planted in his memory and a minute's silence held.
He was found dead at a private property after celebrating New Year with friends. The cause of his death remains unexplained.
After the ceremony Sussex began playing their match against Essex.
Sussex cricketer Luke Wright said: "We're known as a family club and it was our little moment to give back to the big man.
"It's been tough, but all the guys are wearing his shirt today with his number and name on."
The club's chief executive, Zac Toumazi, said: "This is the first time as a club we've been able to do something here at the ground that Matthew played at and loved so much.
"It's very important as a Sussex cricket family we've done something here."
Compulsory microchipping for all dogs in Scotland comes into force on Wednesday in an effort to reduce the number of lost and abandoned animals.
Pet owners who do not have their dog chipped face a fine of up to £500.
A long queue formed in Stornoway as people arrived from other parts of the isles, including Harris.
One of the reasons why so many people gathered in the town was that flights that would have taken the Dog Trust volunteers to other parts of the islands were cancelled.
The trust provided the free service.
The new law is set to be introduced in England and Wales at the same time.
The Centre for Student Life is part of a multi-million pound investment and will be at the heart of Cathays campus.
It will cover the 1970s students' union building as well as 46 to 49 Park Place.
Construction is due to start in 2017, with the centre set to be completed in time for the 2019-20 academic year.
The centre is a partnership project with the students' union and will be a central hub for student support services.
It will also include a welcome-point for students and the public, a 550-seat lecture theatre, study space and retail outlets.
Vice chancellor Prof Colin Riordan said: "Our students expect world-leading facilities and the Centre for Student Life will meet those high expectations.
"Our students and staff are not the only beneficiaries because this will be a landmark building for the people and city of Cardiff."
Students' Union president Sophie Timbers said it would be "the single biggest investment in the student experience for a generation".

Gross domestic product in the world's third-largest economy grew at an annualised pace of 1.7%.
The better-than-expected growth rate came after higher government spending helped to offset weakness in business investment and exports.
It marks a rebound from the previous quarter but is not thought to lessen the pressure for more economic reform.
Japan's economy had shrunk in the final three months of 2015, so the expansion in the first quarter meant it avoided falling into recession - usually defined as two successive quarters of contraction.
The past four quarters have been volatile, alternating between growth and contraction.
In January, the Bank of Japan introduced negative interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy.
"One of the lessons over the past year is that monetary policy isn't as effective as it was in the past and might have reached some limits," Martin Schulz from Fujitsu Research Institute told the BBC.
"So what we will probably see this year is that the Bank of Japan will keep buying government bonds and the government will probably start to spend even more than it did before to support the economy."
Analysts remain concerned about the outlook for consumer spending, which accounts for about 60% of economic growth.
The surprisingly strong economic growth between January to March was partly attributed to an extra day because of 2017 being a leap year.
There are fears that consumer spending could take a hit if Prime Minister Shinzo Abe moves to increase the country's sales tax to 10% from the current 8%.
Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported this week that Mr Abe plans to postpone the move and will announce his decision after the G7 meeting later this month.
The country's government has for years been desperate to boost its stagnating economy and push consumer spending.
Tokyo's reform package - dubbed Abenomics - kicked off in 2012 but has so far failed to spur economic growth in the way its supporters had hoped for.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policy, which quickly became known as "Abenomics" is based on three arrows: | Japan's economy has dodged a recession after it grew faster than expected in the first three months of the year. | 36,319,420 | 445 | 27 | false |
The winning tickets in the Powerball jackpot were sold in California, Tennessee and Florida.
The previous draw was the 19th without a grand prize winner, which requires all six numbers to match.
Officials said it would take several hours to know if there were any other winning tickets.
The identity of the winners is not yet known.
Thousands of people queued up outside shops across the US on Wednesday, hoping to defy the odds of 292.2 million to one.
California Lottery tweeted that the winning ticket in the state was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Chino Hills, a suburb east of Los Angeles.
Television pictures showed a cheering crowd gathering at the shop after the result was announced.
The winners will share a prize of $1.586bn. They can collect their winnings in annual payments over 29 years, or opt to share a lump-sum payment of $930m.
The government will also share in the big prize, however, levying a 39.6% federal income tax on the winners - and the payout will also be subject any taxes that the winners' home states may impose.
Is this really the biggest?
The previous jackpot record was a March 2012 drawing of the US lottery Mega Millions which had a $656m (£457m) prize shared by three winners. Spain's El Gordo is the world's biggest lottery in financial terms - its prize in 2015 totalled €2.24bn ($2.43bn; £1.68 bn). But as there is no single jackpot - the same series are printed in multiple tickets - anyone who has the numbers wins a share of the prize. In Europe, the largest lottery prizes have been lower than in the US, but the jackpots are given as a lump sum rather than as an annuity and most countries do not tax the winnings. The biggest European prize was won in July 2011 by a ticketholder in the UK. That person took home a lump sum of $260m (£161.7m).
Where do Powerball profits go?
Back to the participating states. For example, New Jersey has sold more than $50m in tickets during this current jackpot craze, and lottery officials said about $20m of that would return to the state. More than 15 states use the profits to fund education. However, schools aren't expecting a huge windfall. California officials estimate the lottery money accounts for about 1% of the state's education budget. In Wisconsin, the profits go towards lowering property taxes.
How did the jackpot get so big?
No-one has won the draw since 4 November. The prize is based on ticket sales so high jackpots usually create a snowball effect until a winning combination is picked. A new format introduced in October makes these massive jackpots more likely, meaning more records could be broken in future.
Six of the 50 US states do not participate in the lottery, so some residents drive for hours to other states to buy tickets.
Alabama, Mississippi and Utah cite religious reasons, while Alaska has said it would not be economical in such a sparsely populated state.
In Hawaii, proposed legislation to start participating fails consistently, and in Nevada the lottery is rejected because the state's world-famous casinos prefer not to have competition. | There are at least three winning tickets in the US for the record $1.6bn (£1.1bn) lottery jackpot, officials have said. | 35,309,034 | 704 | 31 | false |

SocGen reported second-quarter net income of €1.35bn ($1.5bn; £943m) and revenue of €6.87bn.
Analysts had estimated net income of €969m and revenue of €6.13bn.
France's second-biggest listed lender said it planned to save another €850m in costs by 2017 on top of its annual target this year of €900m.
Following in the footsteps of other large banks, it set aside €200m against potential litigation.
Its French retail bank's revenue rose 4.2% as the economy improved, while investment banking sales advanced by 16.6%, helped out by a weak euro and stronger demand for share deals as stock markets rally.
SocGen shares jumped 7% in early trading in Paris.
The Cardiff City and Wales player told the Sunday Mirror: "All I know is that my best mate has gone. I'm struggling."
Ex-Premier League star Speed was found hanged at his Cheshire home last year.
His parents and family members marked what would have been his 43rd birthday on Saturday with a walk up Moel Famau, Denbighshire, near his childhood home.
Roger and Carol Speed told Wales on Sunday the family are still coming to terms with his death in November 2011.
Bellamy, 33, whose former clubs include Liverpool and Manchester City, told the Sunday Mirror he has moved out of the marital home he shared with his wife Claire and their three children.
He said: "Losing my best mate has affected everything. I can't believe how hard it is.
"He was the best mate I've ever had. It's sad but unfortunately it got to my marriage. I'm here and she's there.
"I don't know if that's it for us. All I know is that my best mate has gone. I'm struggling. I can't lie."
Bellamy told the newspaper of his family situation: "I can't tell you how hard it is. It's the worst time in my life ever."
Bellamy was part of the Team GB squad at the Olympics, and last month joined Cardiff on a two-year deal from Liverpool.
Speed's clubs included Leeds, Newcastle, Everton, and Bolton, and he managed Sheffield United.
A coroner at the inquest in January said he could not be satisfied that Speed intended to kill himself.
Hans Lipschis, 93, worked at the camp in German-occupied Poland from 1941 - he says as a cook, German media report.
His name appears as number four on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most-wanted Nazis.
German media have identified him as living in Aalen in southern Germany. He has not yet been charged.
Lipschis is among 50 former Auschwitz staff, still alive, who are being newly investigated by the German authorities.
Auschwitz was the biggest Nazi death camp, where more than 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered.
Prosecutors point to a re-interpretation of criminal law after the conviction of John Demjanjuk, in May 2011.
Demjanjuk was found guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 28,060 Jews while he was a guard at the Sobibor death camp in occupied Poland.
His case means that potential defendants such as Hans Lipschis might no longer be able to hide behind the argument, in court, that they were simply following orders.
"Simply being where the killing took place would be enough for a conviction," according to Kurt Schrimm, head of Germany's Central Judicial Office for the Investigation of Nazi crimes.
He says the purpose of pursuing suspects now is to create a sense that justice is being done and to shed light on historical events.
"We owe it to the survivors not simply to say that a certain time has passed and that it should be swept under the carpet," he says.
Hans Lipschis' wartime identification papers prove he belonged to an SS-company deployed as guards in Auschwitz.
It is not clear what role, if any, he had in the mass murder of inmates. He has told neighbours and reporters he worked only as a cook and saw nothing of the gas chambers and crematoria.
One German newspaper says Lipschis, who was born in what is now Lithuania in 1919, finished World War II fighting for Germany on the eastern front.
He moved to Chicago in the US in 1956, where he lived until 1983, when he was expelled for having concealed his Nazi past.
At the time it could not be proved that he was personally responsible for any killings.
He returned to Germany and his whereabouts, in Aalen, has apparently always been known to the authorities.
He may now be charged with being an accessory to murder.
It is not yet clear if and when his case will come to trial.
It is thought the national carrier may soon be unable to pay salaries.
The cash-flow statement shown to MPs and seen by the BBC paints a picture of an airline haemorrhaging cash.
It says that matters may improve by October, but only if it gets a 792m-rand (£45m) bailout from the government.
Even then, the situation is expected to deteriorate again by December with a forecast cash outflow in that month of £38m.
The airline has lost money in each of the past seven years. Acting chief executive Musa Zwane, who has led the company for the last 18 months, has been trying to put together a recovery plan since January.
Last month, the Treasury paid out £125m to settle a loan from Standard Chartered Bank‚ which the bank had refused to extend.
South Africa's Finance Minister, Malusi Gigaba, has disclosed that SAA asked the Treasury in March for a £560m recapitalisation. He is expected to give an answer by October.
Fox had hoped to close the deal in 2017 but it has been delayed by regulators.
It follows concerns a deal would give the family of businessman Rupert Murdoch too much control over UK news.
US-based Fox already has a minority stake in Sky.
Both Sky and Fox are controlled by Mr Murdoch, who also owns the Times and the Sun newspapers. Fox is seeking to buy the 61% of Sky it doesn't own.
In June, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said she was "minded" to refer the almost £12bn (£9bn) deal to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for wider review, based on the risks to media plurality.
This week, she asked Ofcom for clarification about parts of its investigation of the proposal, extending the timeline for her decision to the end of August.
The request came after a lawsuit was filed in the US, alleging false quotes had been inserted into a Fox News story that was coordinated with the White House. Fox, which later retracted the story, has disputed the allegations.
'Confident of approval'
Fox told investors on Wednesday that setting aside money for the deal remains a priority, noting that the company has already received necessary approvals in Europe.
A wider review could push back approval to the end of June 2018, the firm said.
"We remain confident our transaction will be approved, but more likely in the first half of 2018 than before the end of this calendar year," said James Murdoch, chief executive of 21st Century Fox.
Mr Murdoch made the comments to analysts as the company released its latest earnings. He is also chairman of Sky News.
Over the 12 months to the end of June, Fox made $3bn in profit for shareholders, with revenues growing by 4% to $28.5bn.
The firm's revenue in the fourth quarter increased 1.5% to $6.7bn, powered by growth in its cable division, which includes Fox News and the FX channel.
But profits in the quarter contracted, as the company struggled to keep audiences at its broadcast television division and for its movies.
The firm reported $476m in shareholder profits for the quarter, down more than 12%.
Fox, like other media companies, is grappling with the way the internet and on-demand video has changed media consumption, with audiences increasingly going online.
Disney on Tuesday said it would invest in its own streaming sites and end a distribution deal with Netflix.
Fox said the changes are reinforcing its focus on news and sports, which are more likely to be watched in real time. The firm is also exploring new distribution options.
It has announced an ad-free offering with Comcast, expanded its partnership with Hulu and is exploring its own apps.
The striker found the bottom corner in the second half from Anthony Knockaert's header to help the Seagulls keep pace with leaders Newcastle.
Lewis Dunk had an effort from a corner saved by Jason Steele, while Lucas Joao came closest for Rovers, volleying over the crossbar in the first half.
Rovers struggled to create chances and stay 22nd, a point from safety.
The defeat is Blackburn's first under manager Tony Mowbray, who had won two and drawn five of his seven previous games since taking charge on 22 February.
Brighton, meanwhile, have moved eight points clear of third-placed Huddersfield, but they remain a point behind Newcastle, who beat struggling Wigan 2-1.
There had never been a goalless draw between the two sides in 35 meetings, but Blackburn, who had drawn their last four matches, nullified Brighton in the first half, with Steele making comfortable saves from Dunk, Murray and Jiri Skalak.
However, Mowbray's side offered little going forward and failed to get a shot on target, with Joao's wayward volley the closest they came to scoring.
Brighton's quality told midway through the second half as Knockaert headed Liam Rosenior's cross into the path of Murray, who took two touches to beat Steele at the near post.
Seagulls substitute Tomer Hemed then put Solly March's cross wide of the post before Connor Mahoney's deflected volley flew narrowly wide for Rovers late on.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "We have seven games left and each individually will be massive. But today I was far more pleased with our win than the other results.
"We are trying to be as normal as possible with seven games to go and not to change too much.
"It was more important, however, that even in a scrappy game we got the job done."
Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray: "Generally it was pretty tight and 0-0 might have been a fair result from our perspective. We wanted to make life difficult and we nearly did it.
"It looked like 0-0 for most of the game, but it turned in their favour.
"Before this game we had drawn four in a row so we need some wins. We'll have a tough game at Reading at Tuesday as they play expansive football, but we are going to see if we can get three points."

It comes after a recent independent study found the line was attracting new workers, homeowners and tourists.
The Federation of Small Businesses said those conclusions came as no surprise to regular users of the route.
It said the line was a "gift for local events" and had provided a massive boost for visitor numbers.
FSB senior development manager for the east of Scotland Gordon Henderson said the reopening of the line had come about due to grassroots campaigning.
"This is great encouragement for those in Fife campaigning for the Levenmouth rail link," he said.
He added that the impact on local events in the Borders was clear to see.
"Scotrail put on extra services and extra carriages for the Melrose Sevens this year and they were packed, I was there," he said.
He said the line was also encouraging new events like an international music and arts festival in Stow which has a population of just about 700.
"It isn't just for commuters," he added.
"People use the line for local journeys.
"Borders folk are travelling between Stow, Gala and Tweedbank for shopping and eating out, great for local businesses."
He said Edinburgh and East Lothian residents were also making "good use" of the new link into the city centre from the likes of Brunstane and Newcraighall.
However, he stressed that business had to realise that people could travel in "both directions" on the railway.
"Traders in Melrose initially reported seeing many new faces thanks to the line but latterly reported many locals had discovered shopping in Edinburgh at the weekends," he said.
Mr Henderson said there were a number of ways to build on the success of the route, one of which was to provide increased capacity.
"Trains on the Borders Railway desperately need more than two carriages," he said.
He also urged businesses to learn how the line could benefit them and came down in favour of taking the track on into Cumbria.
"The Scottish government is producing a feasibility study looking at extending the line through Hawick to Carlisle," he said.
"But we're in little doubt the economic benefits would be huge."
However, Mr Henderson said he would "steer well clear" of suggesting whether that route should pass through Newcastleton or Langholm due to the "simmering rivalry" between the two towns.
Tony Andreu gave the visitors a first-half lead with a fine strike - his 12th goal of the season.
But the hosts responded before the break through John Herron's first goal for the club as the Pars extended their unbeaten run to 11 games.
United, who now trail Championship leaders Hibernian by eight points, are without a win in five matches.
The home side began the match brightly and should have taken the lead after just eight minutes.
Mark Durnan was dispossessed by Nicky Clark around 30 yards from goal and the Pars striker played in team-mate Michael Moffat rather than go it alone. Moffat's effort beat Cammy Bell but William Edjenguele got back to clear off the line.
Dundee United responded well and took the lead. The home defence failed to clear their lines properly and Andreu pounced to send a cracker of a shot from 22 yards beyond Sean Murdoch.
Blair Spittal then came within inches of doubling United's advantage, his shot from the edge of the box clipping the outside of the post.
And within minutes Dunfermline drew level after a sustained spell of pressure. Kallum Higginbotham did well to create space on the left and his cross was met by the head of Herron, who's run had gone unnoticed by the visiting defence.
Bell was injured as the ball was played in and although the United keeper recovered he failed to come out for the second half and was replaced by Luis Zwick. The former Rangers keeper was taken to hospital with jaw damage.
Higginbotham blasted over for the home side but United missed a glorious chance to take the lead with 15 minutes left.
Andreu was allowed a clear shot on goal from 10 yards but Murdoch pulled off a great save. The rebound fell back at the feet of the United striker, who despite having an open goal blasted high over the top.
Scott Fraser then had a free-kick from 25 yards out that looked destined for the top corner only for Murdoch to tip around the post.
Dunfermline Athletic manager Allan Johnston: "It went end to end and must have been quite exciting to watch and, to be realistic, a point was probably the right result.
"We started really well and the boys reacted very well and got back in the game after their goal.
"We had a poor start to the season, but you can see the quality in the team and we've doing well lately and we have to keep doing that.
"We have a lot of massive games coming up and we are looking good."
Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: "I think the performance and attitude merited the three points - I don't think there was any doubting that.
"I was really pleased with the guys' performance and their will to win the game.
"Disappointed it is only one point, but I have to be pleased after a bit of dips in form and we were back to the best.
"The only thing that was missing was the finish and sometimes you don't get what you deserve."

Newsweek reported earlier this week that Mr Trump's company secretly conducted business with the island nation, breaching decades of US policy.
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts allegedly spent at least $68,000 (£52,300) in Cuba in 1998, violating the embargo.
Mr Trump criticised the journalist, saying: "No I never did anything in Cuba. I never did a deal in Cuba."
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had said on Thursday that Mr Trump appeared to have violated US laws, saying he had put "his personal and business interests ahead of the laws and values and the policies of the United States of America".
Marco Rubio, the Cuban-American senator from Florida who has endorsed Mr Trump, had also said the Trump campaign should respond the Newsweek allegation, saying he was "deeply concerned" about the accusation.
Trump's fortune drops $800m in one year
Who won the debate?
Newsweek's front-page - citing company records, interviews with former Trump executives and court filings - alleges that Mr Trump's company, then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, sent a consulting firm to Havana on its behalf in search of business opportunities.
Newsweek says Mr Trump's senior officers disguised the cash by making it appear that the trip was connected to a Catholic charity.
If the consulting firm spent US money during the visit, without permission from the US government, it would have directly violated the Cuban embargo, which remains in place to this day despite a warming in US-Cuba ties.
Speaking on ABC earlier on Thursday, Ms Conway said an initial payment was made: "As I understand from the story, they paid money in 1998." Later in the same interview, she said no further deal was pursued: "Did his hotel invest in 1998 in Cuba? No."
On Thursday night, Mr Trump responded to the allegations to the NH1.com website, and criticised the Newsweek journalist, Kurt Eichenwald.
"No. I never did business in Cuba," he said before a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday. "There's this guy who has very bad reputation as a reporter. You see what his record is. He wrote something about me in Cuba. No I never did anything in Cuba. I never did a deal in Cuba. I heard about it last night for the first time."
In a 1999 column in The Miami Herald, Mr Trump wrote that he had snubbed chances to do business in Cuba. "It would place me directly at odds with the longstanding US policy of isolating Fidel Castro. I had a choice to make: huge profits or human rights. For me, it was a no-brainer."
1959: Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro leads a guerrilla army into Havana overthrowing the Batista regime.
1960: In response to Castro's communist reforms, US breaks off diplomatic relations with Cuba and imposes a trade embargo.
1962: Castro agrees to allow the Soviet Union to deploy nuclear missiles on the island bringing the US and the USSR to the brink of nuclear war.
April 2009: President Barack Obama lifts restrictions on family travel and the sending of remittances to Cuba.
July 2015: The US and Cuba reopen embassies in each other's capitals and restore full diplomatic ties.
March 2016: President Obama makes a three-day visit to Cuba and holds talks with President Raul Castro. He expresses hope the embargo will be ended, but it can only be lifted by the US Congress which is controlled by Republicans who oppose the move.

Eight former South Wales Police officers are suing the force after they were cleared of allegations relating to the investigation of Lynette White's murder in Cardiff in 1988.
The charges included perverting the course of justice and perjury.
But the 2011 case collapsed following a failure to disclose evidence.
Boxes of documents, which should have been shown to defence lawyers, could not be found.
An initial hearing will take place in July and the full court case is scheduled for October.
It is being brought by former chief inspectors Graham Mouncher and Richard Powell, Chf Supt Thomas Page and detectives Michael Daniels, Paul Jennings, Paul Stephen, Peter Greenwood and John Seaford.
Stephen Miller, Yusef Abdullahi and Anthony Paris, who became known as the "Cardiff Three", were jailed for life in 1990 after being convicted of the murder but their convictions were quashed on appeal in 1992 after judges were told they had been "fitted up" for the crime.
The real killer, Jeffrey Gafoor, was arrested in 2003 after a breakthrough in the DNA evidence.
South Wales Police said they were unable to comment due to ongoing litigation.
In February, the Home Secretary Theresa May announced that a QC, Richard Horwell, had been asked to investigate the lessons learned from the collapse of the corruption trial.
Documents seen by the BBC say there was "close liaison" between the fire brigade and the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (TMO).
Firefighters were shown the "fire safety features of the building".
A fire brigade spokesman said it did not "sign off" the refurbishment.
The fire brigade's role in the refurbishment, which was completed in July 2016, would be covered by the public inquiry into the disaster, he said.
Police believe at least 80 people died when the tower was engulfed in fire on 14 June.
The fire started in a fridge-freezer, but the cladding and insulation surrounding the building following a refurbishment has also come under scrutiny, with experts saying a more fire-resistant type could have been used.
Robert Atkinson, the leader of the Labour opposition group on Kensington and Chelsea Council, said he was "completely gobsmacked" by the revelation of the brigade's involvement in the refurbishment, adding: "I find this absolutely extraordinary and potentially very important.
"I really think we now need to make sure that the role of the fire people before the fire is looked into, and I hope that the judge and the inquiry will look at that very carefully."
The terms of reference for the inquiry were announced on Tuesday 15 August.
Chaired by retired judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick, it will cover the design, construction and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower as well as the response of the London Fire Brigade.
Two building experts also called for the public inquiry to investigate the role of the fire brigade in the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower.
Geoff Wilkinson, a fire expert and building inspector, told the BBC: "What I find slightly bizarre is the fact that the fire has occurred in the way it has, given the fact that the Tenant Management Organisation seem to have taken a fairly responsible approach in involving the fire service in that process."
Paul Follows, a consulting structural engineer, said he found the revelation "quite shocking" bearing in mind the lessons learned about previous tower block fires that involved types of external cladding.
He told the BBC it was important the inquiry examined the role of the London Fire Brigade, adding: "It would be very very important, I believe, in a wide-ranging inquiry, to ask all of these questions and a lot more of the fire brigade, what they were asked, what information they were given."
Documents seen by the BBC show "close liaison" between the Tenant Management Organisation and the London Fire Brigade "throughout the duration of the project".
One TMO document revealed how, at the conclusion of the project, operational firefighters from the local fire station had attended an onsite briefing "where the contractor demonstrated the fire safety features of the building".
The BBC has learned that the fire brigade was invited to liaise over the refurbishment following a fire at another of the TMO's tower blocks in North Kensington in October 2015.
Firefighters had to rescue about 50 people from Adair Tower, in Appleford Road, after a blaze broke out in a third-floor flat. Sixteen people received hospital treatment.
Following the blaze, the fire brigade issued a series of enforcement notices that required the Tenant Management Organisation to undertake a number of fire safety improvements at Adair Tower and a second block nearby, Hazelwood Tower.
The TMO declined to comment.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it did not "sign off" the refurbishment - adding that its legal powers limit the service to act only on "internal fire safety problems such as compromised fire doors and combustible materials on staircases".
A spokesman said: "While firefighters regularly visit local buildings to familiarise themselves with the layout and the firefighting equipment such as hydrants, this is not the same as making a detailed inspection of a building refurbishment especially when many of the changes would sit outside of our powers."
He added he could not confirm the exact contact the LFB had with the TMO regarding Grenfell Tower because the public inquiry had begun.
The steak was in 30 boxes which were stolen from the shop on the Dreen Road some time between 20:30 GMT on 16 December and 07:00 GMT on 17 December.
A power washer and cash were also taken.
Police want to hear from anyone with information about the burglary or from anyone who is offered meat for sale "in unusual circumstances".
"Aside from the criminal aspect of purchasing stolen meat, there are also some very obvious health implications for anyone consuming meat from a non-reputable source and we would strongly advise against this on that basis as well," Ch Insp Stephen McCauley said.
The 4th-Century saint is one of the most revered figures in the Russian Orthodox Church. After his death, Italian merchants brought his body from Myra, in modern-day Turkey, to Italy.
Some fragments of his ribs are kept in Bari, southern Italy. They are being flown on a chartered plane to Moscow on Sunday.
"This is an unprecedented event," said Alexander Volkov, a representative of the Moscow Patriarchate. "These relics have never before left Italy."
The relics - on loan to Russia until late July - will be moved from Bari's Basilica of St Nicholas to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. There they will be blessed by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, in a ceremony on Sunday evening.
Thousands of Orthodox believers are expected to visit the relics. They will also be taken to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St Petersburg.
Such relics have an important role in the Orthodox faith. In 2011, part of what was believed to be the Virgin Mary's belt went on display in Moscow. Churchgoers were content to queue for up to 24 hours - and the line snaked back for several miles next to the Moskva River.
Permission to lend the bones of St Nicholas to Russia came at a historic meeting between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill, in Cuba in 2016.
It was the first such meeting since their two branches of Christianity split nearly 1,000 years ago.
The Moscow Patriarchate says Russian jewellers have created a special "ark" to transport the bone fragments to Moscow. They have lain undisturbed in Bari since 1087.
It is not yet known whether Russian President Vladimir Putin, a keen churchgoer, will attend the ceremony. In 2011 he met the plane carrying the belt of the Virgin Mary when it touched down in St Petersburg.
Moscow authorities expect Russians from all over the country to visit the relics, and say they will provide water to those standing in the queue.
Churches across Moscow will ring their bells at 18:00 (15:00 GMT) on Sunday to mark the relics' arrival.
From 22 May to 12 July the relics will be on show at Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. The relics will be in St Petersburg in the period 13-28 July.
The mammal, previously only seen in small numbers in northern Germany, was found in the Blackdown Hills on the border of Devon and Somerset.
Britain has only one native species of dormouse - which has hazel fur. The black colour is thought to be caused by a recessive gene.
The animal was discovered in a nest box used to monitor the species, which is threatened with extinction in the UK.
More on the black dormouse, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
Claire Groom from the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty said: "This is the very first time a black dormouse has been recorded in the UK.
"The black colouration is likely to be due to a recessive gene, so rather than being a new species it is probably an interesting and extremely unusual quirk of nature."
It is believed the black dormouse was born in the UK and a sample of its fur has been taken for DNA analysis.
Five black dormice were seen in Germany in 1972 and, after many years of searching, two more were discovered last month.
They were found in a nest containing a normal golden-coloured mother, with four juveniles, two of them hazel coloured and two of them black with a white throat - identical to the Devon specimen.
Britain's native dormouse has declined by more than a third since the year 2000, wildlife charity the People's Trust for Endangered Species said last month. A report showed that hazel dormice are extinct in 17 English counties.
Ian White from The People's Trust for Endangered Species said: "The National Dormouse Monitoring Programme has been running for more than 25 years, with volunteers collecting data on thousands of dormice.
"Not once has anyone come across a black dormouse."
Belford, 22, has joined on a season-long loan from Swindon, with no recall clause included in the deal.
"I've followed his career since he was at Liverpool and watched his progress at Swindon," said boss Andy Bishop.
Former Manchester United trainee Cofie, 25, joins from AFC Telford and has also played for Wrexham and Crawley.
The Sandgrounders have also announced that striker Connor McCarthy has signed a new one-year deal.

The award is part of local growth fund money being given to the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership.
It has received £29.45m for a range of projects and brings the total allocated to the region since 2014 to over £126m.
Ministers said the funding would create jobs, improve skills and support businesses.

The new health science centre will have clinical places for teaching and professional development across a range of health professions, the government said.
Prof Mary Stuart, vice chancellor of the university, said: "This investment will help us to develop a centre that will address some of the many challenges and opportunities facing health and medicine in our region, from supplying workforce skills to developing new medical innovations."
She said the university would be seeking further funding to move the project forward.
The government claims the total funding provided to Greater Lincolnshire could help "create or safeguard" more than 7,000 jobs over 10 years.
Local growth minister Andrew Percy said the funding would "make a real difference".
Other projects to benefit include:
Newport City Homes (NCH) said samples from the flats at Milton Court, Hillview and Greenwood had been tested.
It added that fire risk assessments were up to date and that it had already adopted relevant additional fire safety measures issued by government.
Cladding at four blocks of flats in Swansea has failed similar safety tests, carried out in the wake of London's Grenfell Tower fire in June.
Swansea council said cladding used on those buildings had now passed what it described as a more comprehensive test.
The authority said the "whole system" test looked at fire resistance of the cladding system as a whole, including the panels, the mineral core, insulation and firebreaks.
Newport's social housing is run by NCH, whose chief executive Ceri Doyle said: "We have a dedicated presence at each of our tower blocks, alongside fire safety officers, so that residents can speak to someone if they have any questions or concerns.
"We are proceeding to conduct 'whole system' testing, however, our focus now is to reassure residents that the homes they live in are safe."
She added the tower blocks also have a number of fire safety measures in place including smoke and fire alarms, fire doors, fire retardant paint and evacuation routes.
Andy Thomas, assistant chief fire officer at South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said it was working with NCH "to ensure the safety of residents in high-rise buildings".
Tin Town is expected to begin filming in Llanelli in June; the original was based in Swansea.
Allen has returned to Wales to star in the play Gaslight at Cardiff's New Theatre, but will be in Carmarthenshire this summer to star in the new film.
Twin Town and its sequel were written and directed by Allen's brother Kevin.
Keith Allen said other commitments meant his character would only make a fleeting appearance.
"Maybe Emrys will just turn up as a pools winner or a ketamine addict or something, I don't know. He was going to come back as a fully fledged character, but I don't have the time."
"I will turn up in it as something! Hopefully Emrys, for a day's filming."
Twin Town starred Rhys Ifans and became a cult film, prompting regular calls for a sequel until Kevin Allen confirmed the plan in January.
But Keith Allen said his brother's film would tell a new story.
"It's not like he's remaking Twin Town, this is a completely different entity. Hence it is set in Llanelli, not in Swansea.
"The subject matter is different, it doesn't involve a lot of police corruption and all that.
In the original, Keith Allen played Emrys, who unwittingly buys a hotdog laced with magic mushrooms from the Lewis twins, played by real-life brothers Rhys and Llyr Ifans.
Airport disruption meant Keith Allen was forced to pay a huge taxi fare to reach Swansea in time for filming.
"It's still the only film I've ever done that I actually paid to be in.
"So I was at Manchester airport when, I think it was a strike or planes were cancelled, something like that.
"And the only way I could get there was in a black cab and of course the money was just rubbish so it cost me more in a cab fare to get there than what I got paid. And I had no idea what I was going to be doing at all, until I got there."
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales in January, Kevin Allen revealed the Lewis twins would return for the sequel.
At the end of Twin Town they were seen heading to Morocco on a speedboat. He also revealed Bryn Cartwright, the villain of the original played by William Thomas, would return alongside Sue Roderick who played his wife.
The lesser octopus is more often found around the Scottish coast and west coast of England, according to experts.
They were found metres from the water's edge at neighbouring beaches along Heacham, near Hunstanton, on Tuesday.
"We can only speculate on why they were on the beach. It really is a mystery," said rescuer Kieran Copeland, of Hunstanton's Sea Life Sanctuary.

The creatures, which can live in water up to 1,000m (3,280ft) deep, unlike common octopuses, are now being cared for by sanctuary staff.

Sanctuary supervisor Mr Copeland said: "It is very rare to come across a single stranded octopus, let alone two.
"They have a short lifespan of around three years.
"It may be that these are elderly octopuses which have crawled ashore to die, but we hope not."
He was at the beach after being called to the first octopus, when the centre was alerted to a further discovery on the next beach along.
The first creature was found by Sue Bailey, 62, of Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, who was visiting the beach.
"I've found all sorts down there in the past and even rang the sanctuary six months ago about a seal pup I came across, but this was the first octopus," said Ms Bailey.
Both creatures have been put in quarantine tanks out of public view, but it is hoped they may go on display once they have proved fit and healthy.
A group of 12 masked men in a white van attacked a man standing outside The Fosse pub on the Fossway, Walker, at about 16:20 GMT on 8 December.
He was taken to hospital with stab wounds and a fractured skull.
A man, 31, from Fenham has been charged with wounding with intent to commit GBH and violent disorder. He will appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court later.
Police said a woman bystander was squirted with ammonia and needed hospital treatment.
Joana Burns had completed her Sheffield Hallam University degree when she went on a night out at The Foundry, at the University of Sheffield's Students' Union building, on 6 June.
A South Yorkshire Police report found she and her friends paid £7 each for the drug, commonly known as ecstasy.
One friend told officers that Miss Burns was not a regular drug user.
The friend said: "It was just supposed to be a one-off, 'final fling' to finish university."
Another friend said there was an "understanding/assumption" that the group would take drugs on the night out.
Miss Burns was taken from the Glossop Road venue to the Northern General Hospital after falling ill, while another young woman was also admitted in a critical condition after taking drugs.
Police compiled the report for a licensing hearing at Sheffield City Council.
PC Paul Briggs said during a visit to the premises a week before the student's death, he found the Foundry's drugs box to be "considerably full" of confiscated substances.
A "large quantity" of drugs was seized by door staff on the night of the incident, the report added.
Temporary Ch Supt Shaun Morley said officers from South Yorkshire Police's licensing team had recovered a large quantity of drugs seized by door staff at previous visits to the premises.
The University of Sheffield Students' Union website said anyone caught with drugs would be removed from the premises.
A fundraising page for Miss Burns' memorial fund has seen more than £1,250 pledged in donations.
A tribute on the JustGiving page read: "Joana was a wonderful young woman with so much to look forward to.
"She will be missed not only by her family and friends but by everyone who knew her."
President Nicolas Maduro says the move will protect jobs and incomes. Critics say it may worsen the crisis.
The opposition accuses Mr Maduro of mismanaging oil-rich Venezuela's crumbling economy. But he says he faces an economic war by political foes and hostile businessmen.
The International Monetary Fund says inflation will reach 1,600% this year.
Mr Maduro said he was raising the monthly minimum wage to 40,000 bolivars, about $60 (£49) at the highest official exchange rate, or $12 on the black market.
It is the fifth increase in one year. The measure would benefit public workers, the armed forces and pensioners, he said.
"In times of economic war and mafia attacks... we must protect employment and workers' income," he said on his weekly television and radio programme.
Venezuela's inflation rate, the highest in the world, has gutted the value of the bolivar.
The country has been hit by low oil prices, its key export. It has also faced severe shortages of food, medicine and basic goods.
Opponents say the president's incompetence and 17 years of failed socialist policies are behind the crisis. They call for the removal of Mr Maduro, who was elected in 2013 for a six-year term after his predecessor Hugo Chavez's death.
But the president accuses the country's elite of sabotaging the economy for political ends.
The main business association in Venezuela said the wage increase was announced without consultation and could result in layoffs and force small businesses to close.
Opposition lawmaker Jose Guerra said the Central Bank would print more money to pay for the rise, resulting in higher inflation. "This has already been studied," he said on Twitter (in Spanish).
The FTSE 100 index closed up just 0.18%, or 11 points, at 6,072.5. Earlier it was more than 1% higher.
After rising strongly on Wednesday, Morrisons and Tesco were among the worst performers.

Dr Liam MacDaid visited Monaghan on Wednesday night to ask anyone who knows where Columba McVeigh is buried to contact the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains.
The 19-year-old man, from Donaghmore in County Tyrone, was kidnapped in 1975.
The most recent search for his body at Bragan Bog, Emyvale, County Monaghan ended in failure in September 2013.
It was the sixth such search.
At a Mass in Carrickroe, near Emyvale, Dr MacDaid urged anyone who might have even a "small shred" of evidence about where Mr McVeigh was secretly buried to come forward to the commission and help end the burden the McVeigh family.
The Sacred Heart church is a few miles from Bragan mountain, where Mr McVeigh is believed to have been buried after being abducted and murdered by the IRA in November 1975.
Dr MacDaid told the congregation: "Columba's mother and father had to go to their grave not knowing where their son was buried.
"That is not an experience we want to inflict on any family."
The congregation included Columba's brother Oliver and sister Dympna Kerr, as well as other families of the disappeared.
"The ICLVR needs more information to narrow down the search area to find Columba, just as they were able to do at Oristown and find Brendan Megraw," said Oliver McVeigh.
"How can anyone with a shred of humanity about them leave us like this after 40 years knowing that they could end our suffering?"
One of the two commissioners, Frank Murray, a former secretary to the Irish government, attended the Mass along with forensic expert Geoff Knupfer, who has led some of the searches carried out by the commission.
Before the service, Mr Murray addressed the congregation. He stressed the independence and confidentiality offered by his office and said anyone who gave information to him was immune from prosecution.
The first search for Columba McVeigh began 14 years ago. There have been a number of searches at Bragan Bog.
Columba's mother, Vera McVeigh, campaigned tirelessly for the return of his body. She died in 2007, aged 82.
The Disappeared are those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles.
In 1999, the British and Irish governments established the commission in an effort to gain confidential information about the location of their bodies.
There are 16 people on the ICLVR list of the Disappeared. So far, nine bodies have been recovered. The remaining seven are Joe Lynskey; Seamus Wright, Kevin McKee, Capt. Robert Nairac, Brendan Megraw, Seamus Ruddy and Columba McVeigh.
The Provisional IRA admitted responsibility for 13 of the 16, while one was admitted by the INLA. No attribution has been given for the remaining two.
Prayers were also said and a candle was lit for Kieran McAree, the Emyvale man who is believed to have gone into the water in Lough Erne in Enniskillen and for whom the search has continued for five weeks.
James Watson, 71, was crossing a road when he was struck by a southbound silver Land Rover Freelander on Bentinck Drive, at its junction with Yorke Road, at about 21:10 on Sunday.
He was taken by ambulance to Ayr Hospital where he later died.
Mr Watson's family described him as "a loving family man who will be sorely missed".
Police said inquiries were continuing into the incident.

Born in Londonderry, Ms Downey is best known for her starring role in the US television show "Touched by an Angel".
It was a jailbreak straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster: using forks, cups and a bucket, four foreign inmates burrow a tunnel 15m underneath a wall at Kerobokan prison and steal into the night.
Four days later, two of the fugitives - Bulgarian ATM scammer Dimitar Nikolon Iliev and Indian drug smuggler Indian Sayed Muhammad Said - are discovered hiding out in a luxury hotel more than 2,000km (1,250 miles) away in the island-state of East Timor and taken back to Kerobokan.
The other two fugitives - Malaysian drug smuggler Tee Kok King and Shaun Davidson, a 33-year-old Australian imprisoned for overstaying his visa and using false documents and who was about to be released - have been on the run for two months now since that breakout in June.
No information is available on the possible whereabouts of Tee Kok King.
Yet much debate surrounds Davidson's whereabouts.
Indonesian police maintain he's hiding out in Bali, where he has extensive contacts with local mafia, while Australia's News Corp has speculated he's probably rubbing shoulders with fellow criminals in the Thai city of Pattaya, Asia's capital of vice.
Roberto Castro, a Kerobokan inmate from Peru, says rumour on the inside is that Davidson is hiding in Malaysia.
But according to Davidson's Facebook page, under the alias Matthew Rageone Ridler, he travelled to Amsterdam, Germany and Dubai in the weeks following his escape.
Davidson is also using Facebook to taunt his would-be captors by publishing mock-up "wanted" posters describing himself a "gangsta and ladies man" and updates like "50 days tomorrow can I get a round of applause?"
The antics have earned him celebrity status and comparisons to Frank Abagnale, the career conman played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can.
Yet the question remains: why did Davidson make such a risky break for freedom with only 10 weeks left on his sentence?
According to Peruvian inmate Castro, Davidson was apprehensive about imminent extradition to Australia: "Everyone in prison knows he escaped because when his time was up here the Australian police were going to get him for stuff he'd done with drugs back home."
In 2014, Davidson was charged with the possession of drug paraphernalia, possession and intent to supply or sell methamphetamine and cannabis, and for driving without a licence.
In January 2015, Davidson failed to appear at Perth Magistrates Court to answer to those charges and absconded to Bali on a one-month tourist visa. He remained in hiding on the Indonesian holiday island for nearly a year until he was discovered by immigration authorities using another man's passport.
Davidson was subsequently sentenced to a year's imprisonment and given the option of serving an additional five months or paying a fine of 100 million rupiahs (AU$10,000; £5,800). He chose the former despite coming from a family of adequate means, which adds further weight to the theory that he would rather be anywhere but home.
"Shaun comes from Subiaco [a wealthy suburb of Perth] and his family have plenty of money," said an Australian living in Bali who conducts mercy visits at Kerobokan prison and who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear she would be blacklisted from the visitor's yard.
"But I don't think it was prison he was worried about. It was Mongols," she said, referring to the outlaw motorcycle club and alleged organised crime syndicate Davidson has links to in Perth. "He owes them a lot of money."
Contacted by the BBC through Facebook, Davidson, who has now been placed on Interpol's "orange" list of fugitives who represent "a serious and imminent threat to public safety," made light of the allegation that he is in debt to the Mongols.
"Hahahahaha you're funny," he wrote. "Don't forget to send me a link to the article when you do it. This will be hilarious. Have a good afternoon yea [sic]."
It was the first and only statement Davidson - or the individual updating the Facebook page - had made to the media since 29 July, when he published a note offering cash-for-comment to the highest bidder. He refused to say whether he'd received any offers.
However, he later posted publicly: "I'm not guilty of the allegations against me in Perth Australia and don't have faith in the system or the courts to see it for what it is."
Daniel Lewkovitz, director of Calamity, a Sydney-based electronic security firm that consults with anti-terrorism and police agencies, says finding Davidson may prove no easy task.
"I am not aware of any fugitive handbook that recommends actively tormenting police," he says. "But it's entirely possible the stuff on Facebook is disinformation being carried out by his friends or anonymous online fans.
"In any case, even if Indonesian police obtained his IP address from a host like Facebook in San Francisco or a local internet service provider, the GPS co-ordinates may not be too accurate as you can use a lot of different anonymisers to obscure your whereabouts from all but the most sophisticated state level intelligence agencies."
Mr Lewkovitz believes authorities in Indonesia and abroad will have to rely on traditional police work instead.
"But that takes huge resources that not all law enforcement agencies have. And even with those resources, they will not necessarily allocate a great deal of them at a relatively low-profile target like this," he said.
But Clarke Jones, an expert on corrections and organised crime at the Australian National University's College of Asia and the Pacific, says it's only a matter of time until they find their man.
"It is quite plausible that he's in Pattaya because there is a large drug trade going on there and he has those connections," Mr Jones says. "But wherever he is, the Indonesian police will find him, especially with his thrill-seeking behaviour taunting police on social media.
"This whole thing is really embarrassing for them - it's made them lose face - so they will really want to get him," he says.
"Plenty of other fugitives have done this in the past, playing the cat and mouse game, and it nearly always ends the same way - with the fugitive back behind bars."
They flew back to the UK from Rio last week, with Davies picking up a silver medal and Joyce losing out in the bronze medal match.
Signs have gone up in their home towns of Bancyfelin in Carmarthenshire and St Davids in Pembrokeshire congratulating them on their achievements.
Davies' sign was made by Llanelli rugby legend Delme Thomas.
He was helped by former Newport Gwent Dragons Director of Rugby, Lyn Jones.
Scarlets flanker Davies, known as Cubby, tweeted: "If I ever write a book, Rio would be a decent chapter, in more ways than one."
Jasmine Joyce arrived back in St Davids last week and was greeted by signs in Solva and outside her former school Ysgol Dewi Sant in St Davids.
She tweeted: "Absolutely amazing support from family and friends. Can't thank everyone enough."
She even found time to make a guest appearance for Haverfordwest Ladies RFC in a rugby sevens tournament on Saturday, scoring a try in the final.
St Davids Rugby Club will be organising a special homecoming event on Friday to celebrate the city's first ever Olympian.
Sentsov, 39, was arrested in May 2014 during a protest against Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula two months earlier.
He pleaded not guilty and his family say he will appeal. The trial has been condemned by the US, EU and other film directors.
Russia denies accusations that he is a political prisoner.
Another Crimea activist, Alexander Kolchenko, who was being tried with Sentsov and also denies the charges against him, was sentenced to 10 years.
After the verdict was read out, both defendants sang the Ukrainian national anthem in the military court in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the case breached international law, while the US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, said the process had been a "farce".
Sentsov, best known for his 2011 film Gamer, was accused of setting up a terrorist group. Prosecutors say he was involved in two attempted arson attacks in the city of Simferopol, ordered by extremist Ukrainian group Right Sector.
The Ukrainian government says he is being punished for being a Crimea-based pro-Ukrainian activist.
The director has rejected the authority of the court - one of two military courts in Russia - and has said he was beaten in jail for 24 hours in an attempt to force a confession.
But investigators refused to open a case on his allegations of torture, suggesting that his bruises were self-inflicted and that he was keen on sado-masochism, his lawyer said.
Oleg Sentsov is one of a number of Ukrainian figures held by Russia. Military pilot Nadiya Savchenko is also facing trial in southern Russia, accused of killing two people.
Both have been described by the US as Ukrainian hostages held by Russia.
Last week Russia sentenced Estonian security official Eston Kohver to 15 years in prison for spying in a case that sparked a diplomatic row.
The case against Sentsov is primarily based on evidence given by two men who have already been convicted and given seven-year jail terms.
Human rights groups condemned the verdicts, and UK Europe Minister David Lidington said he was "deeply concerned" at the sentencing of Sentsov and Kolchenko.
Meanwhile Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko wrote on Facebook: "Hang on in there, Oleg. Time will pass, and those who organised this kangaroo court will find themselves in the dock."
A petition calling for Sentsov's release has been signed by top directors including European film-makers Mike Leigh, Ken Loach and Agnieszka Holland, and there has been a growing chorus of protest within the Russian film-making community.
He has also attracted support from celebrated Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov, who has close ties to President Vladimir Putin and has openly backed Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Noxious gas escaped from a blast furnace while a nearby water pipeline was being repaired at the government-run plant in Chhattisgarh state.
Workers say deaths could have been avoided had there been safety measures in place. The plant has not responded.
About 30 were left hurt or unwell.
Some workers held a protest at the plant on Thursday evening and again on Friday morning, BBC Hindi's Alok Putul reports from the state capital, Raipur.
The main water pump suddenly ruptured on Thursday night, resulting in a loss of pressure in the pipes supplying water to the blast furnace, the company said in a statement.
As the workers were fixing the rupture, gas from the furnace entered the damaged pipes and leaked, it added.
The plant, which is India's main producer of steel rails, employs tens of thousands of people.
Bethany Fisher died because of the incident on Saturday in Victoria Terrace, Bedlington, Northumberland.
Jordan O'Donnell, 20, of Waverley Court in the town, will appear at South East Northumberland Magistrates' Court.
He is also charged with a number of other offences including causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Additionally, he is accused of failing to stop at the scene of a collision and failing to report a collision.
Police said two other men arrested have been released and will face no further action.
One other female remains in hospital in a stable condition with serious injuries.
It is believed the two women and three men were all in the same car.
The foreign ministry in Beijing said it was pleased that "trespassing Indian personnel have all pulled back to the Indian side of the boundary".
India's foreign ministry confirmed troops were "disengaging" at Doklam after agreement between the countries.
The row began in mid-June when India said it opposed a Chinese attempt to extend a border road on the plateau.
The area is known as Doklam in India and Donglang in China.
The news comes a week before a visit to China by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The plateau, which lies at a junction between China, the north-eastern Indian state of Sikkim and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, is disputed between Beijing and Bhutan. India supports Bhutan's claim over it.
Earlier on Monday China made clear it would "continue its sovereignty rights" in the area.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Chinese troops had verified on ground that Indian personnel had withdrawn in the morning.

A senior Indian government source told the BBC that both sides had pulled out "personnel and equipment" from the area.
Robin Brant, BBC News, Shanghai
China's president is about to host India's prime minister, among others, at a summit this weekend. No-one likes a reignited border dispute to spoil a showpiece event, especially the Chinese.
But state media here see this as a clear win, referring to Indian troops as "trespassing".
One of the most eye-catching things about this latest stand-off is how it started - road building. China has a vast infrastructure strategy unfurling beyond its western borders but some critics say the One Belt, One Road plan isn't just about economics.
To some the Doklam dispute looked like it fitted this analysis; the army builds a road to establish a physical presence to justify a historical claim. Not dissimilar to the highly controversial island-building China has engaged in for years now in the South China Sea, some said.
Then there's Pakistan, India's arch enemy. It's currently the second biggest recipient of Chinese infrastructure investment. Evidence of a strategy aimed at expanding China's influence around the Indian Ocean, as well as around India.
Sanjoy Majumder, BBC News, Delhi
It might appear as a major victory for China and a climbdown for India - but that is not how Delhi sees it.
The Indian foreign ministry says the troop pullout is a result of sustained diplomatic efforts behind closed doors over weeks and a senior government official described it as "an honourable draw".
There's no way of verifying what's happening on the ground - and little detail of any concessions that either side may have made. But few doubt that the Indian government will be relieved the stand-off is over without it escalating into a major military confrontation, given China's overall superiority.
One question remains - will the road that started this dispute now be built or abandoned?
In the weeks since the row broke out in June, both countries increased troop numbers and even engaged in several minor confrontations in the area.
Both countries also called on each other to back down, with China in particular warning of "serious consequences".
Atul Bhardwaj, adjunct fellow at the Institute of Chinese Studies in Delhi, told BBC News that an agreement was the "only alternative" since a confrontation between the two Asian giants "could not have gone on".
He added that the resolution showed "India had initially given primacy to its relationship and commitments to Bhutan" but officials had clearly changed their mind.
"India needs Chinese markets and Chinese investments," he said, adding it would be interesting to see the political fallout of the decision in India, given that Delhi had said it would not back down.
India and China fought a war over the 3,500km (2,174-mile) shared border in 1962, and disputes remain unresolved in several areas, causing tensions to rise from time to time.

The increase underlines the city's growing appeal, say tourism officials.
The liners will bring 150,000 passengers and crew, mostly from the UK, Europe and North America.
Last year Belfast hosted 81 ships.
Belfast Harbour intends to spend about £14m on a new cruise docking facility at Airport Road West.
A planning application was submitted last year but has not yet progressed.
The facility would have the advantage of being able to handle much larger cruise ships than those that have visited since the first cruise ship docked in the city in 1996.
"When we started pitching Belfast to cruise operators in the mid-1990s there was some scepticism about what could be achieved," said Belfast Harbour's commercial director, Joe O'Neill.
"This year we are welcoming a record number of visitors and vessels."

After a period of relative stagnation in the 2000s, the concentration of the gas has surged.
Methane (CH4) is a smaller component than carbon dioxide (CO2) but drives a more potent greenhouse effect.
Researchers warn that efforts to tackle climate change will be undermined unless CH4 is also brought under tighter control.
"CO2 is still the dominant target for mitigation, for good reason. But we run the risk if we lose sight of methane of offsetting the gains we might make in bringing down levels of carbon dioxide," said Robert Jackson from Stanford University, US.
Prof Jackson was speaking ahead of this week's American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco where methane trends will be a major point of discussion.
With colleagues who are part of an initiative called the Global Carbon Project, he has also just authored an editorial in the journal Environmental Research Letters (ERL).
This paper makes a clarion call to the scientific community to address the knowledge deficit that surrounds CH4.
Quite why methane has suddenly spiked is not obvious. After barely moving between 2000 and 2006, the concentration in the atmosphere ticked upwards from 2007, and then jumped sharply in 2014 and 2015.
In those final two years, methane rose rapidly by 10 or more parts per billion (ppb) annually.
It is now just above 1,850ppb. By contrast, global CO2 emissions have flattened somewhat of late, giving hope that the rise in its atmospheric concentration (currently just above 400 parts per million) might also slow.
"Methane has many sources, but the culprit behind the steep rise is probably agriculture," Prof Jackson told BBC News.
"We do see some increased fossil fuel emissions over the last decade, but we think biological sources, and tropical sources, are the most likely."
Agricultural sources would include cattle and other ruminants, as well as rice paddies.
Emissions from wetlands are almost certainly a significant part of this story as well. But so too could be the role played by the chemical reactions that normally remove methane from the atmosphere.
One of the most important of these is the destruction process involving the so-called hydroxyl radical.
The concentration of this chemical species in the atmosphere might also be changing in some way.
According to the ERL editorial, there needs to be a particular push on understanding such methane "sinks".
CH4 is about 30 times better than CO2, over a century timescale, at trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Scientists use computer models to try to project how Earth will warm given a certain mix of gases, and right now methane's growth rate is close to a path that would take the world into a very challenging future.
"If we want to stay below two degrees temperature increase, we should not follow this track and need to make a rapid turn-around," said Dr Marielle Saunois from the University of Versailles Saint Quentin, France. She is the lead author on the ERL paper.
One development that should help scientists as they grapple with the methane issue is the launch of new satellites.
A number sensors are planned that will specifically target carbon molecules.
"I'm optimistic that the scientific community and the policymakers will be able to have better information. I'm optimistic because there are new satellites coming along that will give us the power to see methane concentrations all over the world on a regular basis," explained Prof Jackson.
"Methane is more difficult to study than CO2 because it's more diffuse, but I think we’re poised to make really good progress over the next few years."

The commission's chair, Lord Smith, said the changes would "deliver a stronger parliament, a more accountable parliament and a more autonomous parliament".
Here are some of the main points from the report, which can be read in full here.
The report states that income tax will remain a shared tax and both the UK and Scottish Parliaments will share control of income tax. MPs representing constituencies across the whole of the UK will continue to decide the UK's Budget, including income tax.
But within this framework, the Scottish Parliament will have the power to set the rates of income tax and the thresholds at which these are paid for the non-savings and non-dividend income of Scottish taxpayers.
There will be no restrictions on the thresholds or rates the Scottish Parliament can set.
All other aspects of income tax will remain reserved to the UK Parliament, including the imposition of the annual charge to income tax, the personal allowance, the taxation of savings and dividend income, the ability to introduce and amend tax reliefs and the definition of income.
The Scottish government will receive all income tax paid by Scottish taxpayers on their non-savings and non-dividend income, with a corresponding adjustment in the block grant it receives from the UK Government.
Given that income tax will still apply on a UK-wide basis, albeit with different rates and thresholds in Scotland, it will continue to be collected and administered by HMRC.
The Scottish government will reimburse the UK government for any additional costs.
The receipts raised in Scotland by the first 10 percentage points of the standard rate of VAT will be assigned to the Scottish government's budget.
These receipts will be calculated on a verified basis, to be agreed between the UK and Scottish governments, with a corresponding adjustment to the block grant received from the UK government.
The power to charge tax on air passengers leaving Scottish airports will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish government will be free to make its own arrangements with regard to the design and collection of any replacement tax, including consideration of the environmental impact.
Again, the Scottish government's block grant from Westminister will be adjusted accordingly.
Once the current legal issues in relation to Aggregates Levy have been resolved, the power to charge tax on the commercial exploitation of aggregate in Scotland will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish government will be free to make its own arrangements with regard to the design and collection of any replacement tax
All aspects of National Insurance Contributions, Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, Corporation Tax, Fuel Duty and Excise Duties will remain reserved, as will all aspects of the taxation of oil and gas receipts.
The commission has called on the UK and Scottish governments to work together to avoid double taxation and make administration as simple as possible for taxpayers.
The report says the devolution of further responsibility for taxation and public spending, including elements of the welfare system, should be accompanied by an updated fiscal framework for Scotland.
It says the Barnett Formula should continue, but the revised funding framework should result in the devolved Scottish budget benefiting in full from policy decisions by the Scottish government that increase revenues or reduce expenditure, and the devolved Scottish budget bearing the full costs of policy decisions that reduce revenues or increase expenditure.
Additional borrowing powers should be provided to "ensure budgetary stability and provide safeguards to smooth Scottish public spending in the event of economic shocks", the commission said.
The Scottish government should also have sufficient borrowing powers to support capital investment.
All aspects of the state pension will remain shared across the United Kingdom and reserved to the UK Parliament. This includes the new single-tier pension, any entitlements to legacy state pensions whether in payment or deferred, pension credit and the rules on state pension age.
Universal Credit (UC) will remain a reserved benefit administered and delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
However, the Scottish government will be given the power to change the frequency of UC payments, vary the existing plans for single household payments, and pay landlords direct for housing costs in Scotland.
The Scottish Parliament will also have the power to vary the housing cost elements of UC, including varying the under-occupancy charge and local housing allowance rates, eligible rent, and deductions for non-dependents.
But the power to vary the remaining elements of UC and the earnings taper will remain reserved. Conditionality and sanctions within UC will also remain reserved.
Powers over the following benefits in Scotland will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament:
The Scottish Parliament will have complete autonomy in determining the structure and value of these benefits or any new benefits or services which might replace them.
Responsibility for the following benefits will remain reserved to Westminster
The Scottish Parliament will have new powers to create new benefits in areas of devolved responsibility, as well as new powers to make discretionary payments in any area of welfare without the need to obtain prior permission from the Department of Work and Pensions at Westminster.
The Scottish Parliament will have all powers over support for unemployed people through the employment programmes currently contracted by the Department of Work and Pensions, such as the Work Programme and Work Choice, when the current commercial arrangements expire.
The Scottish Parliament will have the power to decide how it operates these core employment support services.
Jobcentre Plus will remain reserved.
The National Minimum Wage will remain fully reserved to Westminster
UK legislation will state that the Scottish Parliament and Scottish government are permanent institutions.
The Scottish Parliament will have full powers over elections to the Scottish Parliament and local government elections in Scotland.
The parties on the commission have called on the UK parliament to devolve the relevant powers in sufficient time to allow the Scottish Parliament to extend the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds for the 2016 Scottish Parliamentary elections, should the Scottish Parliament wish to do so.
Holyrood will also be given powers to make decisions about "all matters relating to the arrangements and operations of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish government", including:
However, any legislation to change the franchise, the electoral system or the number of constituency and regional members for the Scottish Parliament will require to be passed by a two-thirds majority of the Scottish Parliament.
Responsibility for the management of the Crown Estate's economic assets in Scotland, and the revenue generated from these assets, will be transferred to the Scottish Parliament.
This will include the Crown Estate's seabed, urban assets, rural estates, mineral and fishing rights, and the Scottish foreshore for which it is responsible.
Following this transfer, responsibility for the management of those assets will be further devolved to local authority areas such as Orkney, Shetland, Na h-Eilean Siar or other areas who seek such responsibilities.
The Scottish and UK governments will draw up and agree a Memorandum of Understanding to ensure that such devolution is not detrimental to critical UK-wide matters such as defence, oil and gas and energy.
There will be a formal consultative role for the Scottish government and the Scottish Parliament in the process of reviewing the BBC's Charter.
The BBC will lay its annual report and accounts before the Scottish Parliament and submit reports to, and appear before, committees of the Scottish Parliament in relation to matters relating to Scotland in the same way as it does in the UK Parliament.
The parties called for "serious consideration" to be given to laws over abortion being devolved to Holyrood, and said a process should be established immediately to consider the matter further.
The parties raised a number of additional policy matters which do not involve the devolution of a power to the Scottish Parliament. Among these, they agreed that the Scottish and UK governments should work together to:
There Labour's David Wright is defending a majority of less than 1,000.
The Conservative Party has declared it a target seat and candidate Lucy Allan has been actively campaigning in Telford for the past two years. The reason? Name recognition.
It's key to get her name linked with the new town, she said.
Such is the Conservative Party's desire to win the seat they have sent a number of big hitters to the constituency. In recent months, Chancellor George Osborne's rolled into town as has mayor of London Boris Johnson and Oliver Letwin.
For his part, Labour's David Wright is hoping to retain the seat he's represented since 2001 and increase his 978 majority. His campaign highlights what he's done for the town during his time as MP and the fact that he's a Telford man born and bred.
However, this is by no means a two-horse race - what impact will UKIP's candidate Denis Allan have on the results and where will his votes come from?
The Green Party has also put up a candidate in the shape of freelance journalist Peter Hawkins and Ian Croll will stand for the Liberal Democrats.
Some of the key issues being fought in this constituency include hospital re-organisation and whether in the future just one of the county's two main hospitals will feature an Accident and Emergency unit - either the Princess Royal in Telford or the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
The Conservatives' challenge to the "spare room subsidy", what Labour call the "bedroom tax", has also got voters talking as has the provision of zero hour contracts.
Historically, Telford has long been a Labour seat but David Wright's majority was reduced from 5,406 in 2005 to 978 in 2010.
North Shropshire, Shrewsbury & Atcham, Ludlow and The Wrekin were all retained by the Conservative Party in 2010 and Owen Paterson, Daniel Kawczynski, Philip Dunne and Mark Pritchard are all standing again.
Following last week's narrow loss to leaders Saracens, Chiefs were beaten 23-17 at Sale Sharks on Saturday.
Exeter, who travel to London Irish next week, are still second in the table, seven points clear of third place.
"There is a little bit of pressure on us, but we have to make sure that pressure comes out positively and we play with great energy," said Baxter.
It was the first time that Exeter have lost back-to-back Premiership matches since January 2014, when they went on a run of four successive losses that ended up costing them a chance of making the play-offs.
"We were one decision last week away from winning the game, that's how tight it was against the team top of the Premiership," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon.
"Losing away to Sale with a losing bonus point, who haven't lost here all season - if you look at them in the course of a big season, they're not major things. I'm not going to suddenly go 'two losses means everything's falling apart', it's not.
"But the reality is we do have to go and win at London Irish, because that's a team we should knock over if we want to be a top-four side."
Alex D'Acol pounced on a Liam Lindsay error to fire the hosts ahead.
Ade Azeez missed with a lob and Kris Doolan hit a post as Thistle pressed in the second period.
Sean Welsh did find the net with a shot in the second period to level and team-mate Callum Booth later had a goal disallowed for offside.
These two sides, like many in the bottom seven in the Premiership, are incredibly well-matched, making it very difficult to determine who might be involved in a relegation scrap and who will be vying for a top-six place.
Five of the pair's last six meetings have ended in stalemate and few would have been startled by this one going the same way.
Even their formations were almost mirror images, with both managers playing three at the back, five in midfield and two up front, which in the first half meant both sides rather cancelled each other out.
But the second half was a more open encounter as Thistle tried to force the issue and though they got the equaliser their pressure deserved, they could not find a winner.
The Jags, who scored when struck from inside the box, did stem a three-match losing run and move off the bottom of the Premiership on goal difference.
But their tendency not to take advantage of the good openings they create is proving costly on an almost weekly basis.
Azeez missed a glorious opportunity in the first period and Doolan was unfortunate to see his header come back off the post.
They pounded Accies' goal after the break, Ryan Edwards having a good effort fielded by Gary Woods before Welsh coolly side-footed past the keeper.
Thistle were denied a victory by the assistant's flag - Chris Erskine adjudged to have been offside when he crossed for Booth to tap in.
Accies have not beaten Thistle in 11 attempts now and would have been relieved to survive that scare.
The point keeps them above their opponents but they now face a tough run of games before Christmas, with visits to Inverness and Aberdeen, meetings home and away with Celtic and a home match against Rangers.
They have now drawn seven of their last nine games and, like Thistle, need to convert single points into three on a more regular basis in order to avoid a battle against the drop.
Apart from D'Acol's early goal - when he robbed Lindsay before rounding Tomas Cerny to slotting into the net - they created relatively little but held firm in the second half to secure the point.
Hamilton Academical player-manager Martin Canning: "On the balance of play I think a point was probably a fair result. I didn't think either team did enough to win it.
"But for us it's yet another time we've put ourselves in a winning position and not taken three points.
"But you can't think every time you go ahead in a game you should win it. I think you've got to earn the right to win it and I didn't think we did.
"At the minute it seems teams are capable of winning one week, getting beaten the next week and drawing the next but not putting together a sustained run if you look at the pack of seven teams."
Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "We thought at the time Chris Erskine was onside and we watched the footage back and he is. It's a very poor decision from the linesman.
"Very disappointing. That's what they're paid to do and we've come away with one point instead of three because of it.
"These decisions are very costly. We put a lot into that second half and we thought we did enough to get all three points but we'll use it to drive us on.
"There's not a lot in it. It's a very tight table but we stressed to the lads we need to win these six-pointers with teams roundabout us."

From the moment Julie Andrews ran through the Austrian countryside, arms stretched wide and declaring that the "hills are alive with the sound of music", millions fell in love.
The heartwarming love story of singing nun meets handsome captain, told through a host of chirpy, addictive songs has both an enthusiastic fan following and widespread family appeal. But what is it that the fans love so much?
Musical theatre superfan Keith Milward, from Swansea, says it's that tale of romance that got him hook, line and sinker.
"It's such a great story. It has just got everything you want and even across the generations people have always responded to the loveliness of it."
The seemingly innocent and wholesome plotline sees young nun Maria sent out of her convent to be the governess of the seven cute von Trapp children.
A few Do-Re-Mis later and Maria and the children's navy captain father, played by Christopher Plummer, have fallen in love. But then they have to flee the Nazis during the annexation of Austria.
So far, so gloriously far-fetched, you might think. But actually the story was based on the memoir of the real-life Maria von Trapp. Published in 1949, the book was later turned into a stage musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein before the film came along in 1965.
You would think even the hardest of souls would be softened by such a hefty dose of syrupy sentimentality but reviews at the time were lukewarm.
Critics were keen to point out the historical inaccuracies of the film, claiming it glossed over Austria's role in World War Two. One eminent critic, Pauline Kael, condemned it as a "sugar-coated lie that people seem to want to eat".

But current film critic Richard Fitzwilliam says audiences completely disagreed.
"There was just something so romantic about it. Musical films were really taking off and people liked seeing them on the wide-screen. It was completely different to the swords and sandals epics that were also popular at the time but it was just pure escapism. It was also perfect for families to watch together.
"Some said it was too schmaltzy and sentimental but it was hugely successful."
So while the film might score few points for factual accuracy, it's not the nuances of the plotline that has kept fans entertained for over five decades. It's the songs.
The Sound of Music soundtrack album was the UK's best-selling LP, not just in 1965, but in 1966 and 1968.
"They are just so infuriatingly hummable," Richard Fitzwilliam says. "Just talking about the film, I can hear the songs like the Lonely Goatherd, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and I'm tapping along and mumbling the lyrics."
"It's like a test," Keith Milward says. "You can say to anyone in the street 'Do a deer, a female deer' and they'd know the tune and respond with the next line.
"Even the most cynical will be swayed once they hear the music. I saw a touring production of it at the Swansea Grand just a couple of weeks ago and everyone was singing along.
"The BBC even said that, should the end of the world be on its way, they would play the Sound of Music, so they must have thought it would brighten even the darkest of days."
And it seems that might be true... to some extent. It is believed that, at the height of Cold War paranoia, the film was selected by TV executives to be broadcast as part of a series of recorded programming in the event of a nuclear strike.
In 2006, the master of the musicals, Lord Lloyd-Webber, brought the story right back into the popularity stakes with a TV contest to find an undiscovered performer to play Maria in a new West End production.
Meanwhile, a sing-a-long version of the film still attracts hundreds of people every month. At the Prince Charles Cinema in London, fans turn up dressed as nuns and von Trapp children ready to sing their hearts out.
Many fans hope the original film won't be subjected to a Hollywood remake. "It shouldn't be touched," Fitzwilliam says. "There are so many enduring memories that come with it and the original is still so good."
So good indeed that last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the cult classic, Lady Gaga took to the stage at the Oscar's to belt out a Sound of Music medley.
For those still not convinced, you may be pleased to hear that actor Christopher Plummer was for many years unimpressed by the film that he became well-known for, famously referring to it as the "Sound of Mucus". But despite his misgivings, even he can understand its enduring appeal.
Last year he told Vanity Fair magazine: "As cynical as I always was about The Sound of Music, I do respect that it is a bit of relief from all the gunfire and car chases you see these days.
"It's sort of wonderfully, old-fashionedly universal. It's got the bad guys and the Alps; it's got Julie and sentiment in bucketloads. Our director, dear old Bob Wise, did keep it from falling over the edge into a sea of treacle."
The Ucas admissions service says record numbers - 532,300 students - began courses in UK universities this autumn.
But there were wide regional variations - with youngsters in London 40% more likely to enter university than those in south-west or north-east England.
Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook said poor white males should now be the focus of "outreach efforts".
The annual statistics from Ucas show the complete picture of university applications for those starting courses in autumn 2015, with a 3% increase in students compared with last year.
The removal of limits on student numbers saw universities competing for students - and the entry rates show it was easier this year to get into top universities with slightly lower grades.
In students going to the top universities, 26% of entries got places with A-level grades or equivalent below ABB. This was about three percentage points more than last year and 11 percentage points more than four years ago.
The numbers of unconditional offers to students, regardless of their grades, also increased sharply, doubling to 23,400 - or about 2.5% of total offers.
The annual figures show more people entering UK universities than ever before, including increases in students from the UK and overseas.
In England, about 42% of 18- and 19-year-olds will have university places, up by a quarter in the past decade.
Northern Ireland had the highest rate in the UK, with 42.8%. Wales the lowest, with 36.8%.
Ucas does not gather comprehensive figures on students entering higher education in Scotland.
But the admissions service has highlighted the big differences in the characteristics of who gets places.
The most likely are:
Those most likely to be under-represented at university are poor, white males.
White people, proportionate to their numbers in the population, are the least likely ethnic group to go to university, the admissions service says.
And there would be an extra 36,000 male students at university if they entered at the same rate as female students.
The regional gap is becoming even more accentuated.
Among 18-year-old school leavers, Londoners were already much more likely to get university places than those living anywhere else in England - but their success rate has increased even further and the gap grown wider.
The lowest entry levels are in the South West and North East - and 18-year-olds here, are 40% less likely to go to university than in London.
Ms Curnock Cook said these figures showed a narrowing of the gap between rich and poor, but other differences were widening.
"We have previously highlighted the unacceptably large and widening gap between entry rates for men and women, and this year shows young men, and especially young white men, falling even further behind," she said.
Universities Minister Jo Johnson welcomed the record number of students beginning university, including from poorer families.
"Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are now almost a third more likely to enter higher education than five years ago, but we have much more work to do," he said.
Mr Johnson said the government had an "ambitious programme" to double the proportion of people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university by 2020.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report comes after PC Carol Howard won a discrimination case.
A reluctance to admit mistakes, poor record-keeping and misplaced loyalty were among poor practices, but no laws were breached, the EHRC found.
The Met said it was working "to tackle the perceptions of victimisation".
In total 68 employment tribunal claims were brought against the Met last year, of which it lost three.
Complicating factors identified by the commission in its study were a police culture of "looking after your own", and the force's "painful history" over racism.
The EHRC launched its investigation in the wake of the Carol Howard case. The Met came under heavy criticism over the way the firearms officer was treated after it was revealed she had been arrested over disagreements with her estranged partner.
No charges were ever brought and an employment tribunal heard she was hounded by her boss for being a black woman.
In another case, PC Daniel Lichters was taunted for being gay, and a tribunal said the Met had "either set out to, or were reckless about destroying the claimant's character".
Laura Carstensen, lead EHRC commissioner for the investigation, said: "It is unacceptable that police officers and staff often expect to be victimised if they complain about discrimination, and particularly so when this is the organisation to which all Londoners look for protection and fair treatment."
The commission said it was unable to decide whether officers actually suffered after making a complaint, because "the quality of the [police's] data... made it difficult to reach any conclusions".
Former Supt Leroy Logan, a founder member of the National Black Police Association, said during his 30-year career there was a sense that if you complained "you'd betrayed the organisation or showed a sign of weakness".
He said a zero tolerance stance was needed and recruitment, retention and progression needed to be monitored and evidenced to address any issues.
He said: "If there was proper, prompt intervention and not an adversarial stance against the victim they could easily be resolved. I think we're in the right direction. It just needs to speed up."
The EHRC accepted the Met had been working to improve, but said it needed to "tackle the expectation of victimisation", improve record-keeping and strengthen management skills.
Met Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said: "After nearly two years of investigation, the EHRC has confirmed that they have found no evidence of any unlawful acts in how the Met responds to staff grievances and complaints linked to discrimination or any evidence of systemic victimisation."
He said the report's conclusions "differ little" from an earlier review carried out by conciliation service Acas that was commissioned by the force, and that the Met "utterly reject" the suggestion that a lack of data hampered the EHRC investigation.
Mr Mackey said 37 - or 0.08% - of the Met's 45,000 staff had alleged misconduct related to discrimination and 92 raised discrimination grievances last year.
He pointed out that an "enhanced plan" had been put in place to to "tackle the perceptions of victimisation identified by the Acas report".
Police arrested the youths - two aged 16 and the others 19 and 15 - after an incident in the town's Barrie Avenue at about 21:30 on Tuesday night.
As a result a 33-year-old man was taken to Dumfries Infirmary with injuries which have been described as serious.
A short Police Scotland statement confirmed a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Officials say the falcons were brought from Qatar by a member of its royal family without proper documentation.
They say another 22 birds have been handed back to the Qataris.
Members of Gulf royal families routinely bring in falcons for hunting birds and other animals in Pakistan, with government sanction.
The Qatari embassy was given several days to produce paperwork relating to the import of the birds - but customs officials say documents for only 22 could be furnished.
Wildlife controller for Sindh province Saeed Baloch told the BBC's Riaz Sohail in Karachi that the remaining birds were handed back to representatives of Qatar.
"But the 52 falcons were later released into the wild in Kirthar National Park," Mr Baloch said.
Located just outside Karachi, the park has a variety of wildlife within its 250,000 hectares.
Hunting is prohibited and officials say the birds will be safe there.
Wildlife experts said last week that some of the birds traditionally hunted by the falcons were endangered.
Among them is the Houbara bustard - believed to be widely prized throughout the Middle East as a quarry for falconers because its meat is valued an aphrodisiac.
Arab and local government officials, however, denied that any endangered species were hunted.
The falcons were being brought in at the start of the winter season, a time when bird migrations into southern Pakistan are at their peak.
Although locals are prohibited from hunting the birds, it is thought members of Gulf royal families are given special permission to do so.
Conservation groups say such licences are illegal and unprecedented elsewhere in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis are employed in various industries in the Gulf kingdoms, which also provide bailout loans and cheap oil to Pakistan's perpetually beleaguered economy.
For this reason, many see the licences as being in Pakistan's national interest, correspondents say.
Marc Carter, 42, from Devon, appealed on Twitter for people to search for a specific Tommee Tippee cup for Ben.
The 13-year-old has severe autism and will only drink out of the two-handle cup which is no longer manufactured.
The appeal prompted offers of help from as far away as Australia from people promising to send Ben their old cups.
Tommee Tippee also said it had a dedicated team looking for the cup in its archive of product samples.
Marc launched a Twitter appeal on Monday under the name @GrumpyCarer in which he said his son had used the specific Tommee Tippee cup since the age of two and would not drink from anything else.
He wrote: "Ben hasn't drunk at school since the age of 5, he doesn't drink outside the house so we can't go anywhere.
"People say he will drink when he's thirsty but two emergency trips to A&E with severe dehydration say otherwise."
Marc told the BBC his son has had his current blue cup for three years, but it is now falling apart and may only last a few more weeks.
He said: "The cup keeps him alive. If we lost the cup and couldn't find another Ben would die. He would be put on fluids in hospital but he would yank out the tubes.
"This tiny blue cup dictates our life."
Katie Roden tweeted a photo of the cup she owns, adding: "I have one - here it is! DM me your address and I will send it tomorrow."
Roslyn Barnett wrote: "I have that exact one my daughter had from being a baby!! Still have it and i can send it to you x".
Others responded with the suggestion that the cup could be made using a 3D printer if he was able to provide one to be copied.
Marc, who lives near Great Torrington, north Devon, said he had been overwhelmed with the response which saw one of his appeals retweeted 12,000 times.
He said one 16-year-old had used the particular cup as a child and had never wanted to throw it away - but offered to donate it to Ben after seeing the appeal.
The dad-of-three, whose two other children also have special needs, told the BBC: "I cried. It's been incredible. I didn't expect it.
"I've had people tweeting to say good luck and people looking in their cupboards for the cups. They don't know me - it's been amazing and moving.
"I feel humble. It's a lovely thing. I'm asking for a little blue cup and that is what is touching people.
"I've said I'd pay for the postage but people don't want it.
"Ben might need this cup for the rest of his life so it will be great to have stock. It would be life-changing."
Full-time carer Marc said he now had around seven replacements being sent to him and hoped to stock up on even more.
Tommee Tippee said it was touched by Ben's story and staff were doing everything they could to find a cup for Ben.
Sarah Scott, global head of consumer experience, added: "The cup he previously had was a Tommee Tippee cup that we made for Boots in the late 1990s and our team is currently looking through all our archive product samples to see if we have one that's just right for Ben."
Anyone who can offer Marc an exact copy can contact him on Twitter at @PMPProject.
McInnes, who turned down the chance to move to Sunderland last month, replaced Craig Brown as Dons boss in 2013 and the following year led the club to their first trophy in 19 years by winning the League Cup.
In 2015, McInnes and Docherty signed new contracts until 2019.
"I am committed to trying to bring more success to the club," McInnes said.
Aberdeen have finished second to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership three years running and were also runners-up to Brendan Rodgers' side in the Scottish Cup and League Cup in 2016-17.
The Dons boss, who said he was "delighted" to agree the new deal, added: "With the excellent squad of players we have and the backing of our brilliant supporters, it is important we keep driving forward both on and off the pitch and maximise our full potential as a club.
"I love working for the club and our aim must always be to have a competitive, confident Aberdeen team on the pitch, producing young players and training professionally in a modern facility that is in keeping with the ambitious club we are."
McInnes started his managerial career at St Johnstone in 2007 and four years later landed a move to Bristol City. After two years at Ashton Gate he was sacked and soon returned north to take over at Pittodrie.
His success at the Dons attracted the interest of Sunderland after they sacked manager David Moyes, but following talks McInnes decided against a switch to the Stadium of Light.
Dons chairman Stewart Milne said: "I mentioned recently that Derek and Tony had demonstrated their loyalty to and ambitions for the club when they elected to remain and this contract extension reaffirms that. This is great news for everyone connected to Aberdeen Football Club and gives us a real boost ahead of the new season.
"I would again urge the supporters, as they always do, to get right behind Derek, Tony and the team and really make a difference for what promises to be another exciting, and hopefully ultimately, successful season."
Wiltshire Police Chief Constable Mike Veale has defended Operation Conifer, insisting it is not a "fishing trip or witch-hunt".
He said officers had received "allegations spanning a significant number of individuals".
It emerged last month that two people had been arrested and bailed.
Former Conservative prime minister Sir Edward died at his home in Salisbury in July 2005, aged 89.
In an open letter, Mr Veale said he would not be "buckling under pressure to not investigate or to conclude the investigation prematurely".
He said he wanted to "set the record straight" amid press reports the inquiry was floundering.
The chief constable described Sir Edward as an "extremely prominent, influential and high profile person".
"The decision to undertake this incredibly complex and challenging investigation was not taken lightly particularly knowing, or at least expecting, that we would be placed under intense scrutiny," he said.
Mr Veale also confirmed reports that satanic ritual sex abuse was a feature of the investigation, although he said it was a small part and did not relate to Sir Edward.
He added that it was "important to ask the question, if the force had received allegations of non-recent child abuse against a former prime minister and done nothing, what would the reaction have been?
"Within the national context of the independent inquiry of exploring allegations of institutional failures in the past, Wiltshire Police was duty bound to record these allegations and launch an impartial and thorough investigation."
Operation Conifer began in 2015 after claims against Sir Edward were raised in an inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Information from a retired officer had sparked concerns that Wiltshire Police had deliberately caused a criminal prosecution against a suspected brothel keeper to fail in 1994.
Earlier this year the IPCC said it had found no evidence that the case was dropped because the woman threatened to make allegations against Sir Edward.
But Wiltshire Police has said Operation Conifer is also investigating a number of separate allegations made by persons who came forward. It said the inquiry additionally aims to safeguard children and vulnerable adults who may be at risk of abuse today.
The Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation has said it is confident the former prime minister will be cleared of any wrongdoing.
The SNP member for Edinburgh Eastern said he wanted to "pursue new challenges", but said he would remain committed to the independence campaign.
Mr MacAskill, 57, was justice secretary for seven-and-a-half years.
Opposition parties were critical of a number of his decisions during his time in office, including plans to abolish corroboration which were later dropped.
Mr MacAskill was succeeded by Michael Matheson in First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's new administration.
During his time in the role he also made the controversial decision to release Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, on compassionate grounds.
Mr MacAskill wrote to constituency members last night to tell them of his decision to step down in May 2016.
Speaking to the The National newspaper, the former solicitor said: "I'm proud of the commitment and efforts I made, but it will now be up to others to take things forward.
"I am not leaving parliament to retire, but am leaving to pursue what might be considered a third career.
"Independence for Scotland will remain dear to my heart and I will be committed to it."
Susan Benstead, 72, was given a two-year suspended jail term for money laundering in June 2015 for her part in the Crown Currency fraud.
She has now been ordered to pay £868,580 in a proceeds of crime hearing at Southwark Crown Court.
A hearing is under way for the former mayor of Glastonbury, Edward James.
More on the Crown Currency scammer, and other Cornwall news
Crown Currency collapsed in October 2010, owing clients a total of £20m.
Up to 12,500 people are believed to have lost money, the court heard.
Benstead's trial at the same court in 2015 heard she used £900,000 of customers' money to buy a luxury home in Cornwall.
Her husband Peter, 72, killed himself during the trial.
She and James were two of five people found guilty of offences connected to Crown Currency's collapse.
Crown Currency, based in Hayle, was one of the UK's largest personal currency exchange businesses.
It allowed individuals and business customers to pre-order foreign exchange at a set price up to a year in advance.
It provided money in 80 currencies, as well as travellers' cheques and money transfers.
Dredge, taking part in his first US Open, hit a one over par 73 in the second round to go to three over.
Birdies on the second, fifth, 10th and 15th holes were undone by a double bogey on the third and bogeys on the eighth, 12th and 14th.
That left the 44-year-old Welshman 10 shots behind a four-way tie for the lead.
English duo Paul Casey and Tommy Fleetwood, and Americans Brian Harman and Brooks Koepka are locked at seven under.
Blackman, the bestselling author of the Noughts & Crosses series, was announced as the new laureate on Tuesday.
She takes over from Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson, who has held the post since 2011.
"I've been a professional author for over 20 years, so I feel now is the time to give something back," Blackman said.
She also called on teachers and parents to spend at least 10 minutes a day reading with children.
The Laureate role, which has a bursary of £15,000 and is sponsored by Waterstones, is awarded every two years to an eminent writer or illustrator of children's books.
Previous Children's Laureates include Anthony Browne, Michael Rosen, Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson and Quentin Blake.
Blackman told the BBC that one of her major projects was a website to host "creative responses" to books by young people who had grown up immersed in technology and social media.
"The first time I touched a computer was when I was 19 but it's part and parcel of their lives," she said.
"I would like to encourage them to express themselves using music, art, film or whatever and upload it to a website having been inspired by particular stories."
Blackman started her working life as a computer programmer before her writing career took off.
A former scriptwriter for TV drama Byker Grove, she is the author of more than 60 books for children and teenagers, including Hacker, Cloud-Busting, Thief! and Pig-Heart Boy.
She was presented with her children's laureate medal at a ceremony at King's Place in central London.
"A love of books has opened so many doors for me. Stories have inspired me and taught me to aspire," Blackman said.
"I hope to instil in every child I meet, my love and enthusiasm for reading and stories. And, as I would never have become an author if it hadn't been for my local library as a child, I intend to continue Julia Donaldson's amazing, indefatigable work advocating for our nation's public library service."
She urged teachers and parents to spend at least 10 minutes per day sharing a book with their pupils and children in a bid to get "more children reading more".
She recalled how she used to enjoy teachers reading stories to her class at school. "It became something we all really looked forward to. That was part of the reason I grew to love stories," she told the BBC.
In her Noughts & Crosses series, Blackman explored issues of race and ethnic identity by depicting a world in which black people, or Crosses, are the ruling elite and white people, or Noughts, have minority status.
"Malorie Blackman's stories are gripping, daring and reach out to young people who might otherwise spend all their time on video games and the internet," said Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, a member of the laureate selection committee.
"The panel are unanimous in believing she will be a brilliant and passionate Children's Laureate."
The woman attended a party at the house, where the three men allegedly attempted to rape her after spiking her drink, reports said.
She was rescued by neighbours after jumping, and is recovering from a head injury in hospital.
Police told BBC Hindi that one of the men arrested was the woman's boyfriend.
The woman had not yet registered a complaint, police said.
Indian media reported that the men had been charged with molestation and would be produced in courts later on Monday.
The issue of sexual assault has been high on the agenda in India since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi in December 2012.
The case prompted global outrage and a tightening of India's laws on sexual violence.
But correspondents say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since then.
It is already illegal for certain professionals, such as teachers and social workers, to do the same.
The NSPCC said it was concerned that the role of sports coach, and other youth workers, fell outside the legal definition of a "position of trust".
The government said it was committed to ensuring sports participation was safe.
The charity's chief executive, Peter Wanless, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that the loophole was "remarkable... given the significant amount of responsibility, influence and authority that an individual in [the role of sports coach] can hold in a young person's life".
He said it was vital to "bolster protection for teenagers at risk of grooming once they pass the age of consent".
This call for change comes after the charity said in December that more than 1,700 calls had been made to the hotline it set up with the Football Association in the wake of claims of sexual abuse in the sport.
Mr Wanless said alerting the government to the loophole was "not about demonising certain jobs, but about protecting young people from a small minority of adults only too happy to take advantage of their standing in society to groom and abuse vulnerable children".
The charity also wants the government to tighten the rules around background checks, which tell a club if a coach has a criminal record or is banned from working with children.
In 2012, then-Home Secretary Theresa May relaxed the rules, meaning only an employee or volunteer working unsupervised with under-18s on a regular basis could face a full check.
The NSPCC believes that went too far, and that people who are barred from working with children are able to take up assistant or support roles in children's clubs "completely undetected".
The pressure group Mandate Now, which campaigns for tighter rules around child protection, said the changes, if implemented, would not go far enough.
It wants the UK to follow countries like the US, Australia and Canada, where there is a legal responsibility for people working in regulated activities like sports clubs to report suspected abuse to the authorities.
"The NSPCC proposals are one small step for child protection, but not a giant leap for it in sport or any other regulated activity," said the group's Tom Perry.
In a statement, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said the government was "completely committed to doing all it can to ensure people can participate in sport in safe and secure environments".
It added: "In November we wrote to sports governing bodies to look at their own safeguarding practices, to make sure they are as robust as possible, and that work is ongoing."

It brings the average price of a house or flat down to £218,390.
The rolling quarterly figure, which measures changes over the previous three months, fell by 0.1%.
It is the third month running that figure has fallen - the first time that has happened since November 2012.
Measured on an annual basis, the growth in house prices eased from 3.3% in May to 2.6% in June, the lowest increase for four years.
The Halifax said one reason for the slowdown was the fact that consumers were increasingly being squeezed as increases in incomes failed to keep up with inflation.
"Although employment levels continue to rise, household finances face increasing pressure as consumer prices grow faster than wages," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist.
"This, combined with the new stamp duty on buy-to-let and second homes in 2016, appears to have weakened housing demand in recent months."
However monthly figures - and to a lesser extent quarterly figures - can be volatile.
One economist said he did not expect a continuing fall in prices over the rest of the year.
"The dip in Halifax's measure of house prices—which dragged year-over-year growth down to its lowest rate since May 2013—probably doesn't mark the start of a sustained fall in prices," said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
"The index is volatile even at the best of times, and Nationwide reported a 1.1% month-to-month rise in its similar measure of prices in June. The underlying trend in prices probably is flat."
The number of properties being sold has also held up relatively well.
Figures from HM Revenue and Customs show that the number of sales in the three months to May was 1% higher than in the previous quarter.
Where can I afford to live?
The courts dealt with more than 19,000 knife possession cases last year - the highest number since 2011.
The Ministry of Justice said the rise has been driven most recently "by increases amongst juvenile offenders".
A record 41% of adult offenders were jailed, while 11% of 10-17 year olds were sent to prison.
The MoJ said almost a third of juvenile offenders received a caution.
Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said: "Knife crime ruins lives and devastates communities, and those who carry blades should feel the full force of the law.
"These figures show that those convicted... are more likely than ever to go to prison, and for longer."
The average sentence for knife possession was between seven and eight months, two months longer than the average in 2008.
Some 34% of all sentences passed are for immediate custody, 23% are community sentences and 19% are suspended sentences.
A further 64% of adult repeat offenders received an immediate custodial sentence.
But shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon said: "Ministers promised 'two-strikes-and-you're-out' for knife possession, but a third of adult repeat offenders are still not being sent to prison."
The MoJ said sentencing decisions are a matter for independent judges.
About a quarter of the knife crimes took place in London, where offences have risen to their highest level for nine years.
It comes after London Trading Standards found that children as young as 13 are able to buy knives in London shops.
Using teenage volunteers to test if shops were complying with the law, London Trading Standards found that out of 724 test purchases, 96 retailers sold knives and blades to the volunteers.
It is illegal to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18.
As a result, 19 traders have been prosecuted while others received warnings and compliance advice.
London Trading Standards spokesman Steve Playle said: "Whilst it is commendable that 87% of shops refused to sell, it is concerning that children as young as 13 were actually sold knives."
Speaking during a debate with centre-right New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis, Mr Tsipras said such a unity government would be "unnatural".
Polls suggests neither are likely to secure a parliamentary majority.
Mr Tsipras called the snap election after securing a multi-billion euro bailout last month.
In the debate, hosted by state broadcaster ERT, Mr Meimarakis said Greeks wanted the stability that only a grand coalition could bring.
"We can have a national team not only in the governance of the country, but also a national negotiating team [for Greece's bailout]," he said.
But Mr Tsipras replied that the two had "fundamental differences" and so a unity government would not be possible.
Greeks, journalists and pundits found the debate somewhat underwhelming...
"Tsipras wins out but the opponent was dead! In fact, Tsipras did not win, Meimarakis lost!" - @StathisPsillos
"Debate ends. ND supporters feel that Meimarakis won tonight. I think no one really won. Tsipras was somehow defensive though" - @YanniKouts
"Truth to be told, this is not a good performance by #Meimarakis. Tsipras on full-populism mode, but doesn't come off as obnoxious" - @GreekAnalyst
"Tsipras appeared relatively nervous & with weak arguments at second debate between the two top political parties" - @VKarayannis
"Debate ends with no winner. not sure whether they persuaded indecisive voters" - @GiorgosKentas
The debate was billed as a chance to win over crucial undecided voters, with both parties drawing 31.6% in a recent poll for ANT1 TV.
A first debate included five other parties, but this one allowed the two men to ask each other questions and comment on answers.
Mr Tsipras won power earlier this year pledging to end austerity, but was instead forced to accept a rescue package that included more cuts.
He has said he wants to continue to fight against poverty and corruption, while Mr Meimarakis has accused him of wrecking the economy while in power.
O'Donovan Rossa was a renowned leader of the Fenian movement in the 19th Century seeking independence from Britain.
His burial in Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery on 1 August, 1915, was one of the largest political funerals in Irish history.
1916 Easter Rising leader Padraig Pearse delivered the funeral oration.
The event is seen as a pivotal moment in Irish history, as several of those who attended went on to take part in the Rising.
O'Donovan Rossa 's remains had been brought to Ireland by the American liner St Paul from New York to Liverpool.
They were then transferred to the steamer Carlow, which carried them to Dublin.
In the 1850s, O'Donovan Rossa was sworn into the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) known colloquially as the Fenians, a reference to Na Fianna a band of warriors who defended Ireland from invaders in Irish mythology.
The IRB was a small, secret, revolutionary body committed to the use of force to establish an independent Irish republic.
O'Donovan Rossa was imprisoned in various jails in England for his activities and later moved to New York following his release, continuing his efforts to oppose British rule in Ireland.
The funeral cortege on Saturday is expected to feature marching bands, uniformed Irish Volunteer cavalry and a horse drawn hearse as well as a 40-strong uniformed guard of honour.
Some mourners are expected to attend in period dress.
The group were among more than 100 from a college in Pune who had gone for a picnic to Murud beach near Alibag, Maharashtra state.
The victims were aged between 19 and 23 and police said they were working to identify the bodies.
Murud beach is popular with locals who prefer the area to the more tourist-focused state of Goa.
Pictures showed the bodies of those who died being dragged from the water.
Police said they were continuing to search for other victims. It is believed those who drowned were surprised by a sudden low tide.
The defender powered home a bullet header from a corner with just a minute of normal time left to seal a victory which lifts Fleetwood up to fourth in the table.
Struggling Coventry could have few complaints as they were outplayed for most of the game.
Ashley Hunter could well have put the visitors in front in only the seventh minute when he pulled a fine save out of goalkeeper Lee Burge with a low, angled shot.
Bobby Grant also saw a first-half effort deflected just wide as it seemed to be heading goalwards, while Coventry's best chance of the opening 45 minutes came when Andy Rose's mishit cross threatened to creep in under the crossbar.
Coventry had the best chance of the game in the 50th minute when Callum Reilly's header from a Ryan Haynes cross hit the post with keeper Alex Cairns beaten.
Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler rang the changes as a win looked to be slipping from their grasp - but Bolger helped keep up their promotion push at the death.

Tries from Tavis Knoyle and Richard Smith gave the Blues a 17-14 interval lead, sandwiching converted scores from Munster's Mike Sherry and Keatley.
Blues' Tom Isaacs and Sherry swapped tries in the third quarter.
Munster outscored the visitors 14-3 over the closing 20 minutes with the Blues ending the game without the sin-binned Jevon Groves.
The strong finish by the hosts denied the visitors only their second away victory in the Pro12 since last September.
Fly-half Rhys Patchell opened the scoring with a penalty from inside the 22 for the Blues. Their first try soon followed when Garyn Smith passed inside to Patchell and scrum-half Knoyle was up in support to finish under the posts. Patchell's conversion made it 10-0.
Munster hit back with a try of their own inside four minutes. With space out wide, Francis Saili's superb looping pass took three out defenders and sent hooker Sherry over in the left corner.
Keatley added the extras and as Munster remained on the front foot, the fly-half took advantage of Gavin Evans' missed tackle to glide in behind the posts.
However, in the final play of the first half, the Blues profited from some lacklustre Munster defending to work winger Richard Smith over out wide on the left, with Patchell converting with aplomb from the touchline.
Munster's poor tackling was again exposed when Sherry and Jack O'Donoghue failed to stop Isaacs from five metres out. Patchell converted the centre's 43rd-minute try to make it 24-14.
The introduction of Tomas O'Leary following his three-year spell with London Irish, coupled with a textbook maul try from Sherry, saw Munster go up a gear.
They drove the Blues off their own scrum five metres out, and replacement flanker Coghlan dived on the loose ball for his first Pro12 try which Keatley converted.
A Patchell three-pointer closed the gap to 28-27, but Saili's deft pass unlocked the Blues defence out wide for the increasingly influential Conway to go over.
Groves was binned for a no-arms tackle in the build-up, and Keatley's touchline conversion took a deserved bonus point away from the luckless Blues.
Munster: Andrew Conway; Shane Monahan, Francis Saili, Rory Scannell, Gerhard van den Heever; Ian Keatley, Duncan Williams; Dave Kilcoyne, Mike Sherry, BJ Botha; Mark Chisholm, Dave Foley; Dave O'Callaghan, Jack O'Donoghue, CJ Stander (capt).

The bird of prey became stuck on the third storey of Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital since Friday after chasing a pigeon into a courtyard, the fire service said.
The RSPCA worked with firefighters to free the bird using a net.
The falcon was liberated from its predicament at about 17:30 on Saturday and was examined by a vet before being reunited with its mate.
Hospital staff said it had became trapped halfway up the six-storey interior courtyard area, which is not accessible to the public.
The falcon was reported to the fire service by a member of the public who spotted it from a ward.
The RSPCA said the male falcon had made several attempts to free itself.
"Witnesses said they saw him attempting to fly out but he ended up hurtling repeatedly against the windows before falling back down to the bottom," the charity said.
RSPCA Inspector Boris Lasserre said the bird was eventually rescued with the help of a net, which had to be dismantled to allow the bird to be reached.
"By chance one of the fire officers on duty, Nigel Hawkins, was an expert falconer," he said.
"The bird was resting on a small ledge by a window.
"This window could only be opened a few inches. We took the net and pole apart so it could fit through the narrow gap.
"Mr Hawkins gently edged the net nearer the bird so as not to frighten him away beyond reach. He was then able to very gently place the net over the bird."
He added the bird was one of a nesting pair which live at the hospital.
The hospital said it was "pleased" the falcon had been rescued.
"People get a bit worried about trapped birds so it's good news," a representative said.
The fire service said: "Although we do a lot of animal rescues, we haven't been involved in anything like this before."
Removed titles will include the Hunger Games and Transformers movies.
Netflix, which has more than 60 million subscribers worldwide, said it wanted to focus on exclusive content.
Rival US service Hulu will take on the Epix catalogue. "Our subscribers have been asking us for more, and more recent, big movies," Hulu said.
"We listened. Through this new deal with Epix, we are proud to now be able to offer a huge selection of the biggest blockbusters and premium films."
Netflix's deal with Epix - which was worth a reported $1bn (£650m) - runs up until the end of September 2015, at which point the films will disappear from the service.
Explaining the move to subscribers, Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos wrote: "While many of these movies are popular, they are also widely available on cable and other subscription platforms at the same time as they are on Netflix and subject to the same drawn out licensing periods."
He then went on to list a variety of exclusive shows coming up on the service, including new work from Ricky Gervais, Idris Elba and Adam Sandler.
He also praised an upcoming Netflix-made documentary about Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
As competition between video on demand (VOD) services intensifies, Netflix's decision may appear to be an unlikely move.
However, Forrester analyst Jim Nail said he believed the company was making a calculated gamble.
"Netflix is a very smart data company," he told the BBC.
"They didn't make this decision without looking at how many people are viewing these titles."
He said Netflix was positioning itself to be considered a luxury service with high-quality offers rather than an enormous library.
"They're not trying to please everyone. They're pleasing people who want premium content. That's not all of America."
Globally, Netflix faces similar battles.
In the UK, its film library - which is distinct from its US catalogue - is hindered thanks to existing deals between movie distributors and Sky, which has its own on-demand offering, Now TV.
As well as signing content deals, VOD services are investing heavily in creating original content. The platform is seen by some in the industry as a welcome alternative to the commissioning processes and priorities of established cable networks and film studios.
The approach is reaping dividends. At this year's Emmy awards, Netflix enjoyed 34 nominations, while Amazon - it too a major VOD player - earned 12.
Yahoo, a minor player at this stage, earned one nomination for Community - a comedy that had been cancelled by US network NBC.
The breadth and success of VOD programming means Netflix's decision is a reflection that no single firm will be able to dominate the market, said Mr Nail.
"Netflix is thinking about what they want their role in the viewers' video consumption to be, as opposed to thinking they can monopolise all video consumption.
"I think they're taking a bet here - but they've made those calculated bets in the past."

Pauline Flynn allegedly crossed on to the opposite side of the carriageway while driving along the A952 Clola to Toll of Birness road, near Mintlaw in Aberdeenshire, in October 2014.
Henry McPherson, 61, from St Fergus, who was driving the other vehicle involved, died.
The accused, 36, of Mintlaw, denies the charge at Peterhead Sheriff Court.
Walliams is writing an as-yet untitled book, while Dame Jacqueline has created the new story Butterfly Beach.
There will be 10 books on offer, aimed at children from pre-school to teenagers.
Children in the UK and Ireland will be given a £1 book token to use to claim their free World Book Day title.
The tokens will be handed out in schools and nurseries from January and can be used in participating bookshops and supermarkets from 27 February to 26 March 2017.
Dame Julia, who created The Gruffalo, has teamed up with author and illustrator Lydia Monks for Princess Mirror-Belle and Snow White.
World Book Day director Kirsten Grant said the reading for pleasure charity was "about creating readers for the future by igniting a love of books and reading in children and young people."
"It's about encouraging them to visit their local bookshop and empowering them to make their own choices about the kinds of books they want to read," she said.
"What better way to do this than offering them stories from the best writing and illustrating talent being published in the UK and Ireland today?"
Other authors with books on the £1 list include Horrid Henry writer Francesca Simon with Funny Fact Files and young adult author David Almond is releasing Island.
The list also includes writing by classic author Enid Blyton and a new story about long-time favourite Peppa Pig.
World Book Day - a Unesco designated charity - will be celebrating its 20th birthday in 2017 and the £1 book initiative follows on from last year, when the charity provided 789,738 books at the knock-down price.
During its 19-year history, World Book Day has provided a total of 13 million £1 books to young people.

One day he is the most popular politician in the country, cheered by adoring crowds wherever he goes, on the verge of fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming prime minister.
A few weeks later he has led an improbably successful campaign to get Britain out of the European Union and is being pursued down the street by angry voters, his career apparently lying in tatters after being knifed in the back by one of his closest allies.
No chance of No 10 now. No chance of redemption either, from a new prime minister who has always seemed to treat him with thinly veiled contempt.
Yet here he is again, a few days later, bouncing up Downing Street in his best suit and tie, to be handed one of the biggest and most important jobs in government.
It has been, to use the old cliche, a rollercoaster. Except, if it were a rollercoaster, Boris Johnson would manage to get stranded at the top of a loop, have to be rescued by paramedics, to ironic cheers from the crowd below, and then somehow turn the whole episode to his advantage.
It is a gift that very few politicians possess. But it does not begin to unravel the riddle that is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
Age: 52
Marital status: Married with four children
Political party: Conservatives
Time as MP: Represented Henley, in Oxfordshire, from 2001 to 2008, and for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, 2015 to present
Previous jobs: London Mayor, Editor of The Spectator magazine; assistant editor, Brussels correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
For readers outside the UK, who might be puzzled by his appointment as foreign secretary, it is best not to think of him as a politician at all, in the conventional sense.
He found fame as a TV personality before he had achieved anything in politics.
His friend, journalist Rod Liddle, once said of his former editor: "Like all politicians, he is sometimes required to talk anodyne or disingenuous rot, but unlike the remainder, he cannot keep a straight face while doing this."
The British public warmed to this quality and it allowed him to get away with the kind of gaffes and indiscretions that would have sunk the career of other politicians many times over.
Pictures of him stranded on a zip wire, waving union jacks, during the 2012 London Olympics, were greeted with mirth, rather than derision.
But it would be wrong to think of Johnson as merely a clown.
A classics scholar, with a more supple mind than the average politician, he is someone with a deep understanding of politics and a fierce commitment to liberal, free-market economics.
As a man of Turkish ancestry, who was born in New York, spent part of his childhood in Brussels and who speaks several European languages, he is one of the most cosmopolitan figures in British politics - far from the Little Englander caricature that clings to some of his Brexit campaign colleagues.
His eight years as London mayor proved he could knuckle down to a serious job.
He was widely assumed to be motivated by a burning desire to be prime minister or, failing that, as he told his family as a boy: "The world king."
In his apparent determination to come across at all times like a minor character in a PG Wodehouse novel, with his tousled hair, rumpled suits and bumbling manner, he would always insist he had as much chance of becoming PM as being "reincarnated as an olive".
But in private, he was said to be a far more serious, and ruthless, figure. He comes from a high-achieving family. His younger sister Rachel is a high-profile journalist and younger brother Jo a government minister, and he had carefully plotted his path to the top.
It was in this context that the other side saw his last-minute decision to campaign for Britain's exit from the European Union.
He had previously been ambivalent about the EU. He had made a name for himself as a journalist in Brussels mercilessly mocking what he saw as petty EU rules and regulations but when it came to whether Britain should leave he sounded unsure.
In 2012, he said: "If we get to this campaign, I would be well up for trying to make the positive case for some of the good things that have come from the single market."
More recently, he had reportedly told friends: "The trouble is, I am not an 'outer'."
In his long career as a newspaper columnist and politician, Boris Johnson has managed to offend a wide variety of people and nations. Here is a selection.
On Tony Blair visiting Africa, in 2002: "It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies." He apologised for the use of the word "picanninnies" in 2008, during his successful campaign to be mayor of London.
In 2006, he said he would be happy to "add Papua New Guinea to my global itinerary of apology", after writing in a column that "for 10 years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing".
The country's High Commissioner in London described the remarks as "an insult to the integrity and intelligence of all Papua New Guineans". Mr Johnson said: "I meant no insult to the people of Papua New Guinea who I'm sure lead lives of blameless bourgeois domesticity in common with the rest of us." adding that his remarks were "inspired by a Time Life book" which he claimed contained recent pictures of "Papua New Guinean tribes engaged in warfare, and I'm fairly certain that cannibalism was involved".
The following year he had this to say about Hillary Clinton, in a column praising her credentials as a future US president: "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital".
During the EU referendum campaign, he got into a public spat with US president Barack Obama after a dig at his "part-Kenyan" ancestry.
He recently won a £1,000 prize for composing a rude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. We can't print the poem in full, you can read it here - suffice to say, it includes a creative rhyme for "Ankara".
Anyone coming up against the former London mayor on a sports pitch would be well advised to keep out of the way - he famously flattened a 10-year-old boy during a game of touch rugby on a trade visit to Japan.
Boris Johnson: A history of undiplomacy
Boris Johnson's new job: The world reacts
Mr Johnson's decision to lend his star power - and unrivalled ability to reach voters in all parts of the political spectrum - to the Brexit campaign was seen by those running it as a game-changing moment.
He became the face of Brexit in television debates and on the road in his bright red battle bus, a familiar, reassuring face who helped convince voters that quitting the EU was not as big a gamble as his old school friend David Cameron was claiming.
His ability to make Conservative free-market ideology sound liberating and even fun, rather than a dry exercise in accounting, was in full force, as he swept aside warnings about the likely impacts of Brexit as the products of a self-interested elite.
But when the result went his way he seemed a little shell-shocked. His post-referendum news conference was notable for its absence of Johnsonian joie de vivre.
He spent the Saturday after the referendum playing cricket at the ancestral home of Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer. There was speculation that he was not focusing on the tasks ahead.
There was also speculation that he had not really wanted Britain to quit the EU at all, just to put up a good fight and be hailed as a gallant loser by Brexit-hungry Conservative Party members who would then vote for him in their droves when the time came to elect a new leader.
For the first time in his life, he had become a hate figure for many people. The man who was used to cycling around London to cheery waves and thumbs-up signs from taxi drivers, was now being barracked by angry voters accusing him of wrecking the country for his own vanity.
Whether this influenced his decision to pull out of the leadership contest - triggered by David Cameron's decision to stand down - is debatable.
His old friend and fellow Brexiteer Michael Gove's dramatic, last-minute decision to enter the race - declaring that he did not think Mr Johnson was up to the job - sealed his fate. It was a brutal political assassination, which was met with dismay by Mr Johnson's supporters.
Not for the first time in his life, he was contemplating the end of his political career.
"Try as I might I could not look at an overhead projection of a growth-profit matrix and stay conscious," on his week-long career in management consultancy.
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3," on the campaign trail in 2004.
"If I was in charge I would get rid of Jamie Oliver and tell people to eat what they like," striking a blow for the right to eat pies at the 2006 Tory conference. He later described Oliver as a "national saint"
"I think if I made a huge effort always to have a snappy, inspiring soundbite on my lips, I think the sheer mental strain of that would be such that I would explode," - on his unique political style
"I think I was once given cocaine but I sneezed and so it did not go up my nose. In fact, I may have been doing icing sugar," after being questioned on TV panel show Have I Got News for You about drug use
"I have not had an affair with Petronella. It is complete balderdash. It is an inverted pyramid of piffle," on press reports of his relationship with journalist Petronella Wyatt. He would later be sacked from the Tory front bench for these comments
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (he is still known to family members as Al) was born in New York to English parents in 1964 and was, until recently, an American citizen.
He had an idyllic childhood spent, in part, on the family farm on Exmoor and in north London, where he attended the same infant school, in affluent Primrose Hill, as future Labour leader Ed Miliband.
In the early 1970s his father, Stanley, moved the family to Brussels after landing a job at the European Commission, in charge of pollution control.
Boris attended the European School in the Belgian capital, where he befriended his future wife Marina Wheeler, daughter of BBC journalist Charles Wheeler.
But in 1973, with his parents' marriage falling apart, he headed off to boarding school in England.
He shone at Ashdown House Preparatory School in East Sussex, developing a lifelong passion for Classics and winning a scholarship to the UK's best-known public school, Eton, where he quickly made an impression.
His headmaster at the school which Prince William and Prince Harry were later to attend, Sir Eric Anderson, was also Tony Blair's housemaster during his schooldays at Fettes - often dubbed the Scottish Eton.
In 1983, Mr Johnson arrived at Balliol College in Oxford to study Classics.
He was already known for his sense of humour and his bumbling "old duffer" persona - but he also displayed a ruthless streak in his pursuit of his political ambitions.
He even briefly spurned his Conservative allegiances in favour of the then fashionable SDP as part of his successful campaign to be president of the Oxford Union.
He was also elected to the elite Bullingdon Club, famed for its hard-drinking, riotous behaviour.
Fellow members included his close friend Charles Spencer and the future Prime Minister David Cameron.
In one group photograph - which would later come back to haunt him - Mr Johnson is pictured lounging decadently in his £1,200 Bullingdon Club tailcoat, alongside Mr Cameron.
Halfway through his first year, he met and fell in love with Allegra Mostyn-Owen, a fellow student who also modelled for society magazine Tatler in her spare time.
In 1987 - when they were both 23 - he married Allegra in a grand ceremony at a Shropshire stately home, complete with an opera singer and a string quartet.
According to biographer Andrew Gimson's account, Mr Johnson managed to turn up in the wrong clothes - walking down the aisle in trousers belonging to Tory MP John Biffen - and lost his wedding ring within an hour of receiving it.
The marriage lasted less than three years, by which time Mr Johnson was beginning to make a name for himself as a journalist in Brussels.
His first attempt at forging a career, as a trainee management consultant, lasted a week.
His career in journalism very nearly fell at the first hurdle too, after he was sacked by the Times for making up a quote.
He had been trying to spice up a dull story about an archaeological dig but the editor - and the history don he "quoted", who also happened to be his godfather - failed to see the funny side.
He described the episode in an interview with the Independent in 2002 as his "biggest cock-up".
Luckily for him, the then Daily Telegraph editor, Sir Max Hastings, was prepared to overlook this indiscretion.
He took on Mr Johnson as a leader writer and then the newspaper's Brussels correspondent.
Mr Johnson took to his new role with relish, merrily debunking the stuffy European institutions his father had served as a commissioner and Tory MEP.
But disaster loomed again, when a tape surfaced of an old Oxford friend, Darius Guppy, who had been convicted of fraud, asking him to help locate a witness.
"He did not say yes, but neither did he say no," recalled Sir Max, who interrogated him about the tape which had been sent to the Telegraph anonymously.
"He evoked all of his self-parodying skills as a waffler. Words stumbled forth... never intended... old friend... took no action... misunderstanding," added Sir Max in the Observer.
He said he was satisfied Johnson had not been guilty of any impropriety and "dispatched him back to Brussels with a rebuke".
He was, by now, married to Marina Wheeler, his childhood friend from Brussels, who had become a successful barrister.
The two had never quite lost touch and after his divorce from Allegra, he set about pursuing her with characteristic persistence.
Their first child, Lara Lettice, was born in 1993, with three more children - Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches and Theodore Apollo - following in quick succession.
He had stood unsuccessfully for the Conservatives at the 1997 general election, in the Labour stronghold of Clwyd South.
Two years later, when he was made editor of The Spectator, he told its proprietor at the time, Conrad [now Lord] Black, he would give up politics to concentrate full-time on the magazine.
But he continued to agonise over his decision in private, confessing to friend Charles Moore: "I want to have my cake and eat it."
In 2001 he stood for Michael Heseltine's old seat, Henley in Oxfordshire, and won.
But with The Spectator continuing to publish articles which proved embarrassing or irritating to some of his new parliamentary colleagues it was, perhaps, only a matter of time before Mr Johnson came unstuck.
It was an unsigned Spectator editorial, accusing the citizens of Liverpool of wallowing in their "victim status" over the murdered Iraq hostage Ken Bigley, that finally did it.
The Tory leader at the time, Michael Howard, resisted calls to sack Mr Johnson. He had what turned out to be a far worse fate in mind - and dispatched his errant culture spokesman to Liverpool to apologise to the entire city.
The mission quickly descended into farce, however, as he was pursued by a media pack hungry for more gaffes. One reporter described it as an "Ealing comedy".
On a radio phone-in he was given a humiliating dressing-down by Paul Bigley, brother of Ken, who told him: "You're a self-centred, pompous twit - even your body language on TV is wrong."
He endured the ordeal, which he later dubbed Operation Scouse Grovel, with good grace.
But he was sacked by Mr Howard a few weeks later in any case, for allegedly lying over an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt - something he vehemently denied.
When challenged about the relationship by the Mail on Sunday, Mr Johnson denied everything, calling stories about it an "inverted pyramid of piffle".
He suffered the indignity of being thrown out of the family home - and was hounded by the tabloid press as he went for a run wearing a skull-and-crossbones bandana.
Mr Johnson was seen as good copy, always ready with an amusing quip or a fresh piece of buffoonery, but any hopes of climbing higher up the political ladder seemed to be over.
The man who had dreamed of being in the Cabinet by the age of 35 watched as Mr Cameron, an Eton and Oxford contemporary two years younger than him, grabbed the Tory leadership.
Mr Cameron handed his old friend the junior role of higher education spokesman on the condition that he gave up editing the Spectator, which had seen its circulation soar under his guidance.
There was a new sense of seriousness about the way Mr Johnson tackled the higher education brief and it was a springboard to the job that would define his political career to this point - London mayor.
Mr Cameron had been determined to draft in someone from outside the party, preferably a well-known celebrity, to take on Labour incumbent Ken Livingstone as part of his efforts to broaden the Conservatives' appeal.
But when those efforts came to nothing, he turned to the party's own in-house celebrity.
He got down to the job of proving he was a serious candidate, displaying hitherto unseen levels of discipline, storming to victory over Mr Livingstone and gaining a huge personal mandate of more than a million votes.
As mayor, he championed liberal social policies, such as a living wage, and put his stamp on the capital by banning "bendy buses" and introducing a cycle hire scheme, which inevitably became known as the "Boris bikes".
He was a vehement opponent of a third runway at Heathrow airport, arguing instead for the construction of a new airport on reclaimed land in the Thames Estuary, a stillborn scheme that inevitably became known as "Boris island".
He was criticised for a lack of focus on detail and of failing to get to grips with some of the capital's long-term problems, such as a shortage of affordable housing, and for being slow to respond to the riots that swept the city in the summer of 2011.
But he proved to be a first class advocate for London as a vibrant, multicultural economic powerhouse. He toured the world banging the drum for London business and managing, most of the time, to avoid putting his foot in his mouth.
He was rewarded with a second election victory over Mr Livingstone in 2012, cementing his status as the most popular Conservative politician in the country.
Within weeks, he had the perfect stage on which to bask in his popularity in the London Olympics. He returned to the House of Commons at the 2015 election in the safe Conservative seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip and - until his Brexit hiccup - looked on course to succeed David Cameron as prime minister.
His latest political comeback sees him getting a full cabinet seat for the first time - he had previously been a member of Mr Cameron's "political cabinet," which did not take policy decisions - and in one of the traditional "great offices of state".
Colleagues have argued that his new-found status as a "Europhile Brexiteer" may be what is needed, as he attempts to reassure the world that Britain is still an outward-looking nation.
Some wonder whether his gift for blunders will be his undoing, and that foreign dignitaries he meets in his new role will be left bemused, rather than charmed, by his very English brand of eccentricity.
On his first day in the job he described his mission as "reshaping Britain's global identity as a great global player" and stressed that just because the government would "respect the will of the people" and take Britain out of the EU it did not mean the country would be leaving Europe.
He brushed off questions about his past gaffes and insults, and negative comments about his appointment, saying it was "inevitable that there would be a certain amount of plaster coming off the ceilings in the Chancelleries of Europe" after Britain's Brexit vote, and they were "making their views known in a free and frank way".
Something he, of all people, would know plenty about.
Clinicians told the health committee that doctors and health boards used the application process in different ways.
AMs were told this could cause delays in patients receiving treatment and also anxiety for patients.
Conservatives said the report confirmed their claims that the process of accessing cancer medicines was unfair.
The report follows the committee's inquiry into the Welsh government's Cancer Delivery Plan to 2016, which aims to improve prevention, detection, treatment, care and research.
The report says that health professionals agreed that the application process for new cancer treatments "was not always good at ensuring fair access to cancer treatments, especially if a small group of patients all applied for the same treatment or new treatments became available".
"They said that doctors used the process in different ways and health boards made decisions differently, which could cause a delay in patients getting treatments and cause anxiety," the report notes.
The committee recommends that a national panel should be established "to make sure that applications for individual patient funding from people across Wales are considered fairly".
The report also concludes the strategy needs "stronger leadership" to succeed.
It says a body with a "clear remit" and the "necessary resources" is needed for local plans to be achieved by the seven health boards in Wales.
Committee chair David Rees said AMs had been told that "without stronger national leadership there is a risk that the plan's aspirations will not be realised by 2016".
"On that basis, we ask the minister [Health Minister Mark Drakeford] to ensure that there is a body with a clear remit, and the necessary resources, to provide drive and leadership at a national level, and hold health boards to account for the delivery of their local plans".
But the committee found the Cancer Delivery Plan had made progress in some areas in its first two years, including in research, screening and end of life care.
Conservative shadow health minister Darren Millar said: "This cross-party report confirms what cancer patients and Welsh Conservatives have been saying for years: the process of accessing cancer medicines is unfair, not fit for purpose and must be overhauled.
"For years, Labour ministers have denied the existence of a postcode lottery and refused calls to set up a Cancer Treatments Fund, to ensure parity with other parts of the UK."
Plaid Cymru health spokeswoman Elin Jones said Welsh ministers "should lead on granting access to drugs and treatments".
"These decisions should be taken at a national level, and not left to individual LHBs (local health boards) because this creates a postcode lottery for treatment which is unacceptable," she added.
A spokesman for the Wales Cancer Alliance, representing 11 cancer charities, said it believed "the ambitions set out in the Cancer Delivery Plan will not be achieved without robust national planning, monitoring, accountability and all-Wales initiatives to ensure consistent and better outcomes for people affected by cancer".

Defender Lee Brown drove Rovers ahead early on but Billy Clifford replied before Crawley had Andre Blackman sent off for two bookable offences.
Rovers went ahead after 15 minutes when left-back Brown struck from a controversial free-kick.
Skipper Jimmy Smith was adjudged to have brought down Ellis Harrison some 40 yards from goal and Hiram Boateng rolled the free-kick to Brown, who netted with a low left-footed strike into the bottom left-hand corner.
Crawley hit back to equalise when former Cheltenham midfielder Clifford received a pass from Lewis Young and hit his first goal for the club from 12 yards.
The hosts ended the half on top with Dutch midfielder Enzio Boldewijn forcing keeper Kelle Roos to save before Roos parried a goal-bound shot from top scorer James Collins.
Harrison was off target for Rovers shortly after the break before Bobson Bawling headed wide at the other end from Collins' cross.
Crawley were reduced to 10 men on 69 minutes when defender Blackman, booked earlier for dissent, received another caution from referee Darren Deadman for the same offence.
Rovers almost snatched victory in the last minute, Crawley keeper Glenn Morris saving superbly from Boateng.

The deal will automatically extend for a year, until July 2019, if the 32-year-old utility man triggers an unspecified appearance clause.
"Chris has been a stalwart of this club for a long time," said boss Tony Pulis.
"He is a valued and popular member of the squad. He has shown great character to return from his injury."
Brunt, who can play full-back, winger or in midfield, has scored 45 goals in 331 appearances for Albion since arriving from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007.
He had to undergo knee surgery last March after an injury which forced him out of Euro 2016, but has made a full recovery this season.
It proves that winning the toss is only part of the deal. You don't get 400 runs in your back pocket, you have to get out there and bat well too.
We can excuse Haseeb Hameed from criticism because he got one that bounced but England lost three heavyweight wickets to poor shots.
Joe Root seemed to have a lapse of concentration while facing the first ball after drinks, Alastair Cook cut at the first ball that Ravichandran Ashwin bowled and Moeen Ali went for a hook shot with two men out in the deep.
When you're batting first on a pitch that is likely to deteriorate, you've got to work hard and get runs. I'm afraid the application from those three was lacking.
Look down the order and even Jos Buttler, who had played really well, and Ben Stokes played poor shots. If you sat down and watched the wickets in succession, you'd shake your head and say "what on earth is going on?" Far too many gave their wickets away and, closing on 268-8, it will probably cost them.
Jonny Bairstow is playing magnificently at the moment - his bat is coming down beautifully straight and you can see that by the number of times he hits to mid-off and mid-on.
It's a real shame he did not get his hundred but I don't think there is anything he could have done about his dismissal for 89.
He was well forward and was given out lbw - correctly, as it turned out - but it's the sort of decision that six years ago would never have been given before the DRS system was brought in.
Bairstow and Stokes bat well together and encourage each other. Once again their partnership, worth 57, was the start of a bit of a recovery. England only lost one wicket in the afternoon, which showed that the pitch is playing perfectly.
People who say they should take the wicketkeeping gloves off Bairstow should consider what a damaging impact that would have on his confidence. That would be like telling an all-rounder who bowls that he's not going to bowl anymore.
He views himself as being the all-round England package. He has worked very hard and both his batting and wicketkeeping have come on in leaps and bounds.
Lancashire's Buttler had played only one first-class match in 13 months before replacing Ben Duckett for this Test but often it doesn't matter, you can just walk out and bat.

When you're playing at this level, you can go out with a blank sheet of paper, you haven't got any past in this series and the bowlers haven't got you out before. You can go out there and play quite positively.
I thought Buttler played really well, some lovely clean shots, and he was really angry at the way he got out for 43 with a tame drive to cover. All that hard work was gone. However, there is a mental toughness you only get through playing.
It could have been a lot worse for England because the fast outfield has probably added 20 runs to their score, while India's fielding was dreadful.
The hosts have got a lot of work to do in that department - they dropped far too many catches and their ground fielding is poor. Cook was dropped twice and Bairstow gave a couple of chances. If India click in the field, England are really going to suffer.
It is a very, very big day for England tomorrow. They have got to get what they can from these last two wickets and bowl India out. They need to bowl their boots off, take every half chance that comes their way and hope for some luck.
Three of India's batsmen are in good form - Murali Vijay, Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara - and if India post 350-400 then I suspect the writing is on the wall.

Its officers currently have up to 18 investigations running into claims going back decades.
But Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Rodhouse said police were "challenged" by the lack of victims coming forward.
The appeal comes as the Met faces claims it covered up sex offences for high profile individuals.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating 14 separate referrals spanning four decades.
Launching a renewed appeal for witnesses, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Rodhouse, head of Crime and Operations at the Met, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We do think we are getting somewhere with these wider inquiries - they [witnesses] are emerging day by day."
But he admitted that police were "challenged" by the lack of victims coming forward.
"If anyone has been a victim of non-recent sexual abuse I want them to come forward," he said.
Despite the IPCC's investigation into claims of a long-running cover-up, Mr Rodhouse said the public could be confident that the Met has a "very good track record" of co-operating with internal investigations, pointing out that it was the Met which referred itself to the IPCC.
He said: "The point to make...is that we will go where the evidence takes us, without fear or favour".
The IPCC said earlier this week that the cover-up claims were of "high-level corruption of the most serious nature".
The allegations include suppressing evidence, hindering or halting investigations and covering up offences due to the involvement of members of parliament and police officers.
One of the more recent Met Police inquiries, set up in November, Operation Midland, is examining claims that boys were abused by a group of powerful men from politics, the military and law enforcement agencies - at locations across southern England and in London in the 1970s and 1980s.
It is also examining claims that three boys were murdered - turning an abuse investigation into a potential murder investigation.
It has focused on the Dolphin Square estate in Pimlico, not far from the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Rodhouse told Radio 4 that the Met has worked with one young man "for some time", who they believe is a credible witness.
Though he declined to comment on whether any further witnesses had come forward, he said: "These cases can only really progress if people come forward with confidence.
"We do test all the evidence, all the accounts we are given. Ultimately it is for the courts to decide the credibility [of the witness]", he added.
In 1939, the year World War Two broke out, Churchill penned a popular science article in which he mused about the likelihood of extra-terrestrial life.
The 11-page typed draft, probably intended for a newspaper, was updated in the 1950s but never published.
In the 1980s, the essay was passed to a US museum, where it sat until its rediscovery last year.
The document was uncovered in the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, by the institution's new director Timothy Riley. Mr Riley then passed it to the Israeli astrophysicist and author Mario Livio who describes the contents in the latest issue of Nature journal.
Churchill's interest in science is well-known: he was the first British prime minister to employ a science adviser, Frederick Lindemann, and met regularly with scientists such as Sir Bernard Lovell, a pioneer of radio astronomy.
This documented engagement with the scientific community was partly related to the war effort, but he is credited with funding UK laboratories, telescopes and technology development that spawned post-war discoveries in fields from molecular genetics to X-ray crystallography.
The Tizard Mission: Start of a special relationship?
Despite this background, Dr Livio described the discovery of the essay as a "great surprise".
He told the BBC's Inside Science programme: "[Mr Riley] said, 'I would like you to take a look at something.' He gave me a copy of this essay by Churchill. I saw the title, Are We Alone in the Universe? and I said, 'What? Churchill wrote about something like this?'"
Dr Livio says the wartime leader reasoned like a scientist about the likelihood of life on other planets.
Churchill's thinking mirrors many modern arguments in astrobiology - the study of the potential for life on other planets. In his essay, the former prime minister builds on the Copernican Principle - the idea that human life on Earth shouldn't be unique given the vastness of the Universe.
Churchill defined life as the ability to "breed and multiply" and noted the vital importance of liquid water, explaining: "all living things of the type we know require [it]."
More than 50 years before the discovery of exoplanets, he considered the likelihood that other stars would host planets, concluding that a large fraction of these distant worlds "will be the right size to keep on their surface water and possibly an atmosphere of some sort". He also surmised that some would be "at the proper distance from their parent sun to maintain a suitable temperature".
Churchill also outlined what scientists now describe as the "habitable" or "Goldilocks" zone - the narrow region around a star where it is neither too hot nor too cold for life.
Correctly, the essay predicts great opportunities for exploration of the Solar System.
"One day, possibly even in the not very distant future, it may be possible to travel to the Moon, or even to Venus and Mars," Churchill wrote.
But the politician concluded that Venus and Earth were the only places in the Solar System capable of hosting life, whereas we now know that icy moons around Jupiter and Saturn are promising targets in the search for extra-terrestrial biology. However, such observations are forgivable given scientific knowledge at the time of writing.
In an apparent reference to the troubling events unfolding in Europe, Churchill wrote: "I for one, am not so immensely impressed by the success we are making of our civilisation here that I am prepared to think we are the only spot in this immense universe which contains living, thinking creatures, or that we are the highest type of mental and physical development which has ever appeared in the vast compass of space and time."
Churchill was a prolific writer: in the 1920s and 30s, he penned popular science essays on topics as diverse as evolution and fusion power. Mr Riley, director of the Churchill Museum, believes the essay on alien life was written at the former prime minister's home in Chartwell in 1939, before World War II broke out.
It may have been informed by conversations with the wartime leader's friend, Lindemann, who was a physicist, and might have been intended for publication in the News of the World newspaper.
It was also written soon after the 1938 US radio broadcast by Orson Welles dramatising The War of the Worlds by HG Wells. The radio programme sparked a panic when it was mistaken by some listeners for a real news report about the invasion of Earth by Martians.
Dr Livio told BBC News that there were no firm plans to publish the article because of issues surrounding the copyright. However, he said the Churchill Museum was working to resolve these so that the historically important essay can eventually see the light of day.

A video streamed online shows a confrontation between West Norfolk Foxhounds master and huntsman Charles Carter and campaigner Linda Hoggard.
During the recording, Mr Carter is seen to ask "can I take to you bed, please?"
The leader of Breckland Council in Norfolk confirmed his suspension. An investigation is under way.
Mr Carter made the comments after an approach by activists during a meet of the Middleton Hunt in North Yorkshire.
Ms Hoggard said she had been taking wildlife photos before seeing the hunt and then following it for several hours.
In the video, Ms Hoggard approaches the riders and stops Mr Carter, saying: "Excuse me, did you know fox hunting was banned?"
Mr Carter then removes his phone from his pocket and asks: "What is your name?"
When Ms Hoggard does not respond, he tells her: "I'd quite like to shag you, actually."
The activist reacts by threatening to tell her husband.
Mr Carter then says: "Can I take to you bed, please?" and tells her: "You're very pretty." Ms Hoggard replies: "So are foxes."
Mr Carter finally asks for her number before riding off with the rest of the hunt.
Ms Hoggard told the BBC: "I've always disagreed with fox hunting even being a country person. I'm not an activist - the last hunt I followed was 15 years ago. I'm a housewife with children and they were hunting near me and I thought right I'm going to follow.
"I didn't know he was a councillor. I didn't even know him. I just went out and then confronted him. What he gave me was bang out of order."
The nature of the meeting is not known, however under the 2004 Hunting Act, foxes cannot longer be killed by dogs as part of a hunt.
One or two dogs can be used to "flush out" - remove from cover - a fox, which should then be shot.
Mr Carter has represented Saham Toney ward, on Breckland Council in West Norfolk, since 2011.
In a statement a spokesman confirmed the council was aware of the video "in which one of its councillors made inappropriate and offensive comments".
Council leader William Nunn said: "I was appalled by the conduct of one of my Conservative councillors, who has clearly brought the party and the council into disrepute as a result of his behaviour.
"I immediately took action, and the individual concerned has been suspended from the Conservative Group at Breckland council, pending the outcome of a full investigation by the Mid Norfolk Conservative Association."
The BBC has approached Mr Carter for comment.

It happened in 1666 and burned for four days, destroying offices, churches and thousands of homes in the City of London.
The design on the coin shows the fire engulfing the London skyline from the view point of a boat sailing on the River Thames.
It has been produced by The Royal Mint, who make all British coins, and will be made available to the public shortly.
The picture was designed by Aaron West and has a portrait of Her Majesty The Queen on the opposite side.
A copy of the coin will also be presented to firefighters at Dowgate Fire Station in London, to celebrate the London Fire Brigade's 150th anniversary.
He was went off early in City's Champions League semi-final second-leg defeat by Real Madrid on Wednesday.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini said the defender would undergo surgery and may be out "for a long time".
Kompany, who has had five injuries this season, playing just 22 matches out of a possible 58, said it was "very sad news" but he would not "give up".
His statement added: "I trust my friends and team-mates to do well and do us proud at the next European Championships in France.
"I am now officially their most fervent supporter and I will be there to support them."
Belgium are grouped with Italy, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland at this summer's tournament.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard is Belgium's vice-captain and has led the side in previous games when Kompany has been unavailable.
Kompany also wrote he would "remain calm and positive" rather than "feeling sorry for myself".
He added: "I could fear for my career, as others may do. I could give up. That is not me. I decide on my future."
Regulators say the Indian government has taken measures to address safety concerns previously flagged up.
In January 2014, the US Federal Aviation Administration had downgraded the rating following tests.
Concerns ranged from a lack of training for industry regulators to a shortage of flight inspectors.
That prevented carriers Jet Airways and state-owned Air India from increasing flights, and having to deal with extra surveillance for existing ones.
The upgrade comes at a time when there is more scrutiny on airline safety in the region.
In March, South Korea, Japan and China stopped Thailand-based airlines from flying charters and new routes after safety concerns were brought up during an international audit.
Analysis: Simon Atkinson, Editor, India Business Report
Routes to the US are vitally important to Air India and Jet Airways.
It's home to more than 1.5 million Indian Americans - many of who travel regularly.
And as the Modi and Obama governments promote stronger economic ties - that's lots of business class seats getting filled too.
More broadly - with India's domestic market so competitive (both Air India and Jet are loss-making) - international routes are an opportunity to claw back some of those losses.
So having the option to once again look at adding new destinations, and do deals with more US carriers, can only help that.
She took part in The Daily Show as part of her first official visit to the United States.
Ms Sturgeon began by questioning her billing on the show's website as a "comedian".
She told host Jon Stewart: "You billed me on your website as a comedian - so you've raised all these expectations that I'm going to be funny."
The first minister added: "I'm a politician, and as you know, politicians are rarely very funny."
Stewart explained to the US audience that the SNP had won an "unprecedented" 56 out of 59 seats in Scotland at the general election.
Nicola Sturgeon joked: "I have ordered an inquiry into why the SNP did not win the other three. It's reporting directly to me."
Stewart said: "What do you think you are, Saddam Hussein? You get 99%? 56 out of 59 is pretty good."
Sturgeon said: "Always aim for more."

Ms Sturgeon is on the second day of a four-day trip to America where she is undertaking a series of engagements in New York and Washington.
She followed in the footsteps of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown by making an appearance on the late-night chat show, although the former Labour leaders were interviewed after they left office.
Amid laughter from the audience Stewart reassured Ms Sturgeon she would be fine, saying: "You need not worry. They thought I was going to be funny for 17 years."
Other topics touched on during the broadcast included the SNP's success in the general election, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the taste of haggis.
American viewers were generally positive in their reaction to the Scottish first minister's contribution.
US journalist Skylar Baker-Jordan, who covers UK politics, said: "Sturgeon is on top of her game as usual. Insightful, delightful and charming."
Minnesota-based Ashley Follmer tweeted: "I wish America had more delightful politicians such as Scotland's Nicola Sturgeon."
The first minister's engagements for Tuesday include hosting a reception to launch the US fundraising appeal for the Glasgow School of Art.
The Lionesses are currently in the United States for the SheBelieves Cup tournament and then play two Euro 2017 qualifiers next month.

"The challenge is to find the right balance," said Sampson.
"Have we got that yet? I don't think we have, we've still got to keep working on this, and make sure we give the players and clubs the best chance to be successful, but in turn that must allow the international team to have every opportunity to win major tournaments.
"We know that if England win a major tournament the impact that will have on the game is far greater than anything else we could ever do in the women's game."
Sampson is keen to avoid a club-versus-country row but as a former boss of Bristol Academy he knows why WSL head coaches may be unhappy with the scheduling.
England host Belgium on Friday, 8 April in Rotherham before travelling to face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday, 12 April.
"Any club manager will always want more time with their players, just like I want more time with the players," he added.
"We're in constant communication about doing what's right by the players, and getting the best out of the players and trying to develop a programme that fits international and fits club."
The order came after activists challenged the government decision on grounds of cruelty to animals.
Tuesday's court order means there will be no Jallikattu festival this year.
The Jallikattu festival was scheduled to begin on 15 January across the state. No events were held last year.
At the annual festival held in January, thousands of men chase the bulls to grab prizes tied to their horns.
Read more: The state that loves bullfighting but isn't Spain
The Supreme Court banned the festival in 2014 after objections from animal rights activists.
In its order at the time, the Supreme Court had said that the use of bulls in the sport "severely harmed" the animals and was an offence under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Unlike in Spain, however, the bulls are not killed in the contests in Tamil Nadu.
However, last Friday the government issued an order lifting the ban.
Many believe local political parties had lobbied to have the ban lifted with an eye on this year's state elections.
Also, the Thevar community of Tamil Nadu is politically and economically influential in at least five districts where the sport is popular and no political party wants to antagonise them.
Correspondents say Tuesday's order is a setback for the Narendra Modi-led BJP government in Delhi, which had lifted the top court's ban last week using an executive order.
"With this single act of thumbing its nose at the Supreme Court, the BJP - like the Congress before - has sent the unfortunate signal once again that court orders are binding only upon ordinary citizens, and governments are above the law; lifting the ban on Jallikattu by circumventing the order of the apex court has put the executive on a collision course with the judiciary," a commentator wrote in The Wire website last week.
Tuesday's order shows that India's top court has again reasserted the judiciary's position, many observers believe.
On Monday, the Animal Welfare Board of India, animal rights groups and activists had filed six petitions in the court, challenging the "cruel sport".
The petitioners have welcomed the court's order.
The court, however, has made it clear that the order was an "interim measure", pending further hearings which will begin in February.
In Jallikattu, bulls are released from pens, with bullfighters supposed to hold on to the animal's hump for about 15-20 metres or three jumps of the bull to win the prize.
The ban had been criticised by political parties and cultural organisations in Tamil Nadu who had argued that Jallikattu was a part of their cultural tradition.
Jallikattu is more than 2,000 years old and considered to be one of the oldest sports still practised in the modern era.
Over the years, scores of people have been gored or trampled to death in the contests.
Hundreds, including spectators, have been mauled or injured.
The settlement at Little Carlton near Louth was discovered after local metal detectorist Graham Vickers found a silver writing tool.
University of Sheffield archaeologists have since unearthed 300 dress pins and a large number of Sceatta coins.
The island was once home to a Middle Saxon settlement and dates back to the 7th century.
Mr Vickers initially reported a silver stylus to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which encourages people to record archaeological objects found in England and Wales.
Twenty more styli from the 8th century have since been found, along with butchered animal bones and a small lead tablet engraved with the female Anglo-Saxon name 'Cudberg'.
Dr Hugh Wilmott from the University of Sheffield's archaeology department said the site was "particularly unusual" because of the items found there.
He said trade weights and other objects suggest the settlement was a "high-status trading site and not an ordinary village".
Geophysical and magnetometry surveys along with 3D modelling enabled the landscape to be visualised on a large scale.
The archaeologists also digitally raised the water level to its early medieval height, and found the land rose from its lower surroundings much more so than today.
Sheffield archaeology students have since opened nine evaluation trenches to reveal "a wealth of information about what life would have been like at the settlement", Dr Wilmott said.
They found significant Middle Saxon pottery, some of which was from Germany.
"Far from being very isolated in the early medieval period, Lincolnshire was actually connected in a much wider world network, with trade spanning the whole of the North Sea," he said.
"This little field in Lincolnshire is part of a connected European trading network."
The findings are "tremendously important" to our knowledge of early medieval times since very few Middle Saxon documents exist, Dr Wilmott said.
A similar site at Flixborough in North Lincolnshire was uncovered in the late 1990s.
David Lord, 87, of Croydon Road in Westerham, Kent, lost control of his Audi on the High Street in Westerham at 10:30 GMT on 24 December 2015.
It mounted the footpath and smashed through a window of Costa Coffee, killing 74-year-old Valerie Deakin, from Udimore, East Sussex.
Lord previously denied the charge.
A further two men and two women were seriously hurt and taken to hospital after the crash. Another woman was treated for minor injuries.
The court heard medical evidence from a consultant neurologist which argued Lord suffered a complex partial seizure imminently before the collision.
Driver admits Costa death crash charge
Lord's defence barrister told the court that after regaining consciousness, he suffered confusion and pressed hard on the accelerator when he meant to apply the brakes.
The judge ordered the prosecution be allowed to medically examine Lord to investigate the claim.
Speaking outside the court, Mr Lord said he "blacked out" and had written a letter to apologise for the crash.
The case was adjourned.
The move will affect outlets in Banbridge, Carrickfergus, Enniskillen and Antrim Massereene. From 7 November they will trade from 06:00-00:00.
Nightshift operations will also end at a number of other NI stores and they will restock during the day.
The company said in most cases the trading hours at those stores would be unaffected, or subject to minor change.
Staff affected by the changes will be offered alternative roles, either within the store or within another local store.
A spokesman said: "We're making some changes in a number of our stores to help us run them more simply and deliver the best possible service for customers.
"We understand this may be disruptive for some of our colleagues and where there have been changes to a colleague's role we will be working really hard to ensure they are fully supported."
Across the UK, 30 24-hour stores will have their opening hours reduced.
A further 149 stores will have their "night replenishment operation" moved to "daytime replenishment", Tesco said.
The balloon, which was carrying Chinese and Malaysian tourists, came down in the Guvercinlik Valley in Cappadocia at 08:15 (06:15 GMT) on Wednesday.
The tourist killed was identified by Turkish media as Tang Yi, while a Malaysian was reported to be in a critical condition.
Reports from the country said the cause of the incident was as yet unknown.
The balloon had taken off from Goreme in Nevsehir province in Central Anatolia on Wednesday morning.
Paramedics and security forces were dispatched to the scene of the crash.
In 2009 a balloon crash in the same region killed a British tourist and injured nine other people.
Three Brazilian tourists were killed, and 20 people injured, when two balloons collided in Cappadocia in 2013.
Cappadocia, in central Anatolia, is famed for its "fairy chimney" volcanic cones, subterranean cities carved out of soft stone, and early Christian churches.
Ballooning has become a popular tourist business in the region over the past decade.
The Welsh Chronicles are a collection of texts that both attempt to mark historical events - and according to some - act as propaganda.
It has been suggested that some of the texts even urge the Welsh to rise up against their Saxon oppressors.
Historians have gathered at St John's College, Cambridge, for a two-day conference examining the collections.
The manuscripts are scattered across Wales and England, with some held at the National Library of Wales, others at the British Library, and some of them at places like Exeter Cathedral.
They bear imposing names like 'Epitome Historiae Britanniae' and 'Brut y Tywysogion' - chronicling events from the death of the last king of Britain, Cadwaladr, in AD682, through to the 14th Century medieval Wales.
"Standard histories of early Wales are based heavily on the chronicles, but we as scholars could do so much more to question the circumstances in which they were written, or what they really tell us as a result," argued Anglo-Saxon PhD student Rebecca Thomas.
The Cambridge University scholar is one of those who has helped pull together the conference, along with Bangor University and Harvard in America.
"They are a great resource, but one that we need to understand far more than we currently do," she said.
In Wales, chronicles were being written in various monasteries from no later than AD800, and remained the primary form of record-keeping for centuries.
Written in Latin and Welsh, they often provided a uniquely Welsh perspective on history.
The most famous are the Annales Cambriae (or Annals of Wales), which records key points from the 5th Century onwards.
But researchers have become increasingly aware that rather than just a list of historical events, these documents are a complex collection of different texts grouped under one name, and belong to a much wider group of chronicles overall.
In some cases, little is known about who wrote them, how they were compiled, or how they were influenced by the politics of their age.
In the 9th Century Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons), for instance, the text can be read as a call for the Welsh to move on from their displacement by the Anglo-Saxons in England - or equally - it can be read as a rallying cry to rise up.
"The fact that you can get two views which are so dramatically different shows how enigmatic it still is as a text," added Ms Thomas.
"Understanding the Chronicles better will transform our perception, not only of how the Welsh viewed themselves as a people, but also how they incorporated other groups into their own history."

In her BBC Wales Sport column, world triathlon champion Non Stanford discusses her progress following injury, Helen Jenkins's comeback and reveals what music she listens to when running.
She reveals the injury means she has given up on defending her world title, but Stanford is now focused on the Commonwealth Games, where she will represent Wales alongside former double world champion Jenkins.
Jenkins has returned to the World Series following a year out with injury and finished third and second in the opening two races of the season in Auckland and Cape Town respectively.
However, another former World champion, Leanda Cave, revealed she had not been picked for the Commonwealth Games with Stanford saying she understood her frustration at missing out.
Things are moving in the right direction and I'm up and about on two feet and on two wheels so I'm a very happy person right now.
Now, when I look back, it seem like the time's gone quite quickly.
I'm used to doing so much training so in those first couple of weeks where I literally couldn't do anything, physically I felt terrible.
I felt like I'd put on about two stone. I obviously didn't but you just feel like you have no control over your body and you feel lethargic.
But I kept myself as busy as possible. I have loads of friends and family that visited me and kept me company.
I'm back running so that's great progress.
At one point, I was really worried and it feels like you're never going to get back, but back running for an hour is really fantastic. I felt on top of the world.
I'm really hoping to be back racing for the Europeans, which is in mid-June.
I train with a lot of the girls that race and waving them off from my doorstep as they fly off to New Zealand, South Africa and lately Japan has probably been the toughest bit.
I haven't watched one of the races on TV - I've been out on my bike every single time.
When I've been out on the bike I've been consciously pushing really hard because I know they're all racing hard.
This year the ITU decided that they would increase the number of races you had to do for the series.
Last year it was four plus the grand final - this year it's five plus the grand final which is a big ask, especially in Commonwealth year when 80% of the field are going to have to race Commonwealths as well.
It was an interesting decision and I know there's a lot of reasons why they've done it.
But for me it does mean that I've had to give up any ambition I had of defending my world title, which was tough and took me quite a few weeks to come to terms with.
I've had to give up on that one but there's always the Commonwealth Games and that was always the main focus of the year.
If I won the Commonwealth Games, that would make up for everything.
I was fortunate to do some training with her over the winter and we knew she was in great shape and things were looking great for her.
It's tough to come back from being out for a year. Those first few races I know she was really nervous and apprehensive and we were like 'You'll be fine, don't worry'.
It is hard after injury and Helen had such a tough time with it and we were all so pleased she's back.
I think the whole triathlon community, even people from all over the world, were so delighted to see Helen back on the podium and back racing, because she's just a fantastic athlete.
Helen for world champion this year? Definitely, we want to keep it in Wales don't we!
My parents have always been incredibly supportive. Bank of mum and dad have helped a lot over the years.
Initially I definitely needed the bank of mum starting out. It's probably only the last year that I was able to stand on my own two feet and provide for myself.
I'm really fortunate that I've had the support of UK Sport and British Triathlon over the last few years as well which helps.
I think with a lot of Olympic and elite sports it's only really the top people that can support themselves and make a living out of it.
There's a lot of athletes below who are struggling to make ends meet and literally race to put food on the table and then make it to the next race in order to win some more money.
It's really tough and being from Britain we are very fortunate that we're well looked after and there is support out there.
Some of the other athletes from around the world do struggle.
When I'm running I love it when Fleetwood Mac comes on the shuffle.
I was brought up with it on in the house when I was younger and it's stayed with me.

Relive Barcelona's win against Sevilla
It was ultimately a routine win for Barcelona, who slowed the tempo after scoring their third, mindful of a packed April fixture list that includes the two legs of their Champions League quarter-final with Juventus.
The three points mean Luis Enrique's side go top of La Liga, although they will drop back to second if Real Madrid beat Leganes later on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old became the first amputee sprinter to take part in the Olympics in the men's 400m heats and added another first when a reprieve put South Africa into the relay final.
"To step out here in an Olympic final is more than I could ever have hoped for," Pistorius said.
"The experience has been phenomenal and far beyond my expectations."
Pistorius, who is known as the "Blade Runner" because of the prosthetic carbon fibre limbs he runs with, has worked hard over the last four years to compete in London.
In 2008, the South African won a long battle with athletics' governing body, the IAAF, to compete against able-bodied athletes.
I never set out to prove a point, but I do feel I have made the point
But there had been further doubt this year that Pistorius would get his chance to run in the Olympics when the South African team warned they would "not take passengers to London" after Pistorius failed to clock the qualifying "A" standard for a second time.
"It has been a great achievement for me to come here and compete," said Pistorius, who was able to run in the 400m after winning selection for the relay team.
"I never set out to prove a point, but I do feel I have made the point. It's been a privilege to be on the track with all the other phenomenal athletes.
"If I took all the positive things I thought might come out of this and multiply it by 10, it still couldn't come close.
"This week has just been one of the biggest blessings for me. It's taught me a lot.
"All in all, this was such a successful campaign for us. I wanted to make the semi-finals in the individual. I wanted to make the final in the 4x400m. We could never have hoped for half the support we've received."
Pistorius bowed out of the individual 400m semi-finals in London with a time of 46.54 seconds. South Africa finished eighth in the 4x400m relay with a season's best time of 3:03.46 seconds.
LJ van Zyl, who handed the baton to Pistorius, said: "It was a privilege to run the final and a bigger privilege to run the relay with Oscar.
"I think 10 or 20 years from now we will still remember the day when we ran with Oscar at the Olympics."

The Central Line was closed between White City and Marble Arch following the midnight derailment at Holland Park.
The knock-on effects built up along the rest of the line and platforms became jam-packed.
Eventually Wanstead and South Woodford stations had to be closed as well.
The Rail Maritime and Transport union said four workers who suffered injuries including whiplash in the derailment were treated in hospital but were later released.
Problems for frustrated passengers increased when they tried to switch to other lines only to find trains there overcrowded too.
Vivan Jayant tweeted: "The ONE DAY I decide to take the @centralline...."
He said: "The pavement was completely packed and people were climbing over the barriers and jumping down to walk along the road."
Mr Jayant abandoned his journey at White City and took a bus after being unable to get onto the Circle Line at Wood Lane.
Central Line operations director Peter McNaught apologised to travellers and said: "This is due to the part-suspension of the line which was caused by a derailed engineering train during the night.
"Our engineers are working as quickly as possible to restore services on the line."

Kim Davis, an elected official in Rowan County, has said the Supreme Court's ruling conflicts with her beliefs as a born-again Christian.
Some of her deputies began processing the licences on Friday, providing one to a gay couple previously denied one.
The US Supreme Court declared gay marriage legal in June.
On Thursday, Ms Davis denied herself the opportunity to be released from jail after refusing a judge's request to allow her clerks to issue licences. US District Judge David Bunning said she could remain in prison for up to a week.
Five deputy clerks later told the judge they would comply with the court order and started issuing marriage licences on Friday morning. But Ms Davis's son, who is a sixth deputy clerk, refused.
The first gay couple to walk out of the Kentucky county office with a marriage licence was William Smith Jr and James Yates - it was their sixth attempt to obtain one.
Dozens of supporters of same-sex marriage chanted "love has won" as they exited the building.
But there is dispute over whether the licences will be considered valid as they did not bear the elected clerk's signature.
Lawyers for the couples believe they are, but Ms Davis's lawyer said they were "not worth the paper they are written on''.
Meanwhile, Ms Davis's husband, who was outside the courthouse on Friday, said his wife would not resign and will remain in jail "for as long as it takes".
Joe Davis said his wife was in good spirits after her first night in jail.
She stopped issuing marriage licences to all couples in June rather than comply with the US Supreme Court's ruling legalising gay marriage nationwide, and turned couples away repeatedly.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the argument that her faith prevented her from carrying out her duty.
She can only be removed from her position if the Kentucky legislature impeaches her, because she is an elected official.
Various 2016 Republican presidential candidates, like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, have come out in support of Ms Davis' decision.
Mr Huckabee said on Friday he planned to meet the jailed county clerk and stage a rally in support of her.
Others like Carly Fiorina, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said she must do her job and comply with the law.

Having lost out on gold to Max Whitlock, Smith tweeted: "I am actually really bitter. The cut is open and deep and the judges are rubbing salt in it."
British Gymnastics issued a statement saying he was "extremely remorseful".
Smith, 26, said he realised it was wrong to have "aired my frustrations".
He added: "Having had time to cool off and following conversations with British Gymnastics, who have helped me see the consequences of my actions, I realise the way that I expressed my feelings was wrong and it should never have happened.
"I want to say sorry to my team-mates, to my fans, to the judges involved and to British Gymnastics for any offence caused."
The man placed his bet at odds of 7/1 in a branch of Ladbrokes in the city centre on 29 April.
When the punter failed to immediately collect his £30,000 stake and £210,000 winnings, the bookmaker made a public appeal for him to come forward.
Polling in the lead-up to the 7 May election indicated a hung parliament.
However, the Conservative Party won a slim majority in the House of Commons.
Alex Donohue, of Ladbrokes, said: "I can confirm that the gentleman has been paid in full and has specifically asked not to be identified.
"Once again, we congratulate him on his record-breaking election win."
The plans involve increasing the number of trained nurses, therapists and other mental health professionals.
Jeremy Hunt said it was time to end the "historic imbalance" between mental and physical health services.
But Labour says the plans "offer little hope" to those already in the sector, "promising only jam tomorrow, when what is needed is action today".
The government said an extra £1bn already promised for mental health services in England will fund the scheme.
Ministers in England have previously acknowledged that the treatment offered to patients with mental health problems suffers in comparison with those with physical ailments.
In 2016, the government committed £1.3bn to transform mental health services in England, with a pledge to treat an extra one million patients by 2020-21.
These plans set out how some of that money will be spent - mostly on recruiting staff, with the main focus being on child and adolescent mental health services, therapists delivering talking therapies for adults and nurses working in crisis care.
The plans also include improving staff training, encouraging those who have left the profession to return, and addressing a high dropout rate among trainees.
However, data published last week showed that even before this latest recruitment drive, many thousands of nursing posts remain unfilled.
The current plans include:
Mr Hunt said: "We want people with mental health conditions to receive better treatment, and part of that means having the right NHS staff.
"We know we need to do much more to attract, retain and support the mental health workforce of the future - today is the first step to address this historic imbalance in workforce planning."
Mr Hunt said the measures were "ambitious" and amounted to "one of the biggest expansions of mental health services in Europe".
However, Labour's shadow minister for mental health, Barbara Keeley, said the government was "promising only jam tomorrow, when what is needed is action today".
"The workforce plan provides no real answers on how these new posts will be funded or how recruitment issues will be overcome," she added.
"And it offers little hope to those working in the sector faced with mounting workloads, low pay and poor morale."
Claire Murdoch, national mental health director at NHS England, said the plan was not just about numbers.
"It's about having a motivated and skilled workforce in place to deliver the work we need to do."
Prof Wendy Burn, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said 570 extra consultants had been promised in the plans.
"You would expect to see a consultant if you had cancer and the same applies for mental health.
"The biggest challenge to creating robust mental health services is the workforce. I am very supportive of this strategy which starts to tackle that problem."
But Janet Davies, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said the government's plans did not add up.
"There is already a dangerous lack of workforce planning and accountability and this report is unable to provide detail on how the ambitions will be met.
"It is clear the government will need to work hard just to get back to the number of specialist staff working in mental health services in 2010.
"Under this government, there are 5,000 fewer mental health nurses and that goes some way to explaining why patients are being failed."
BBC Radio Nottingham had reported that Sheridan is set to replace Mark Cooper, who left the club on 9 May.
Sheridan was linked with Notts County in January before the League Two side appointed Jamie Fullarton.
The Oldham boss previously worked with Magpies chief executive Jason Turner at Newport County.
Fullarton was sacked after only 70 days as manager at Meadow Lane and Cooper took charge for the remainder of the season, but left to take over at Forest Green Rovers.
Former Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday player Sheridan began his managerial career at Oldham before moving on to Chesterfield, Plymouth and Newport.
He was in charge of the Welsh club from October last year to January, winning five of his 17 games, before returning to Oldham - where he has a year left on his contract.
Notts County have been up for sale since March when owner Ray Trew announced he was stepping down as chairman.

O'Sullivan potted 14 reds and 13 blacks before opting for an easier pink as he made a 146 to beat Barry Pinches 4-1 in the first round of the Welsh Open.
After beating Tian Pengfei 4-0 in round two, he said: "When you reach 40 and have played for 25 years you have to start enjoying it at some point."
O'Sullivan beat Tian in 38 minutes.
The former world number one had breaks of 110, 90, 112 and 102 but had no opportunity to attempt a maximum.
O'Sullivan told BBC Wales: "Every time I go to the table I want to clean up."
World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn criticised O'Sullivan for not going for the 147 against Pinches, describing his actions as "unacceptable" and "disrespectful".
O'Sullivan said: "I was thinking when I woke up this morning it would have been wonderful to get a maximum and give the money to charity.
"If you had told the audience I would get a 146 and do that, they would have still gone out and bought tickets.
"If someone wants to do better, here's my cue, chalk and waistcoat, go and do it."
In other matches on Tuesday, defending champion John Higgins beat Sam Baird 4-0 to reach the third round.
He is joined there by world number four Shaun Murphy, who scraped home against fellow Englishman Mitchell Mann 4-3, while world number six Judd Trump was not at his best as he beat Rory McLeod 4-1.
Trump told BBC Wales: "Despite that final frame, Ronnie played terribly yesterday and scraped through, just as I did today. It's about getting through when you play badly."
Substitute BJ Banda scored the opener in first-half injury-time, his shot taking a deflection off Ryan Barry and going over the head of Ger Doherty.

The collision happened on the A496 between Dolgellau and Bontddu at about 15:00 BST on Sunday and involved one Yamaha motorcycle and a number of other vehicles.

An investigation is under way, but it is unclear if the man, who died at the scene, was riding the motorcycle.
Steven Thomas, 19, reached speeds of up to 100mph before crashing into a tree beside the A158 near Hagworthingham, Lincolnshire, in May.
The girl suffered fractures to her back and the woman sustained a head injury.
Thomas, from Alfreton, was sentenced to 12 months detention.
More stories from across Lincolnshire
Prosecutor Phil Howes told Lincoln Crown Court: "[Thomas] was trying to evade a police pursuit on the A158 Horncastle to Skegness road, and because of his excessive speed he lost control at Hagworthingham.
"It caused significant damage to his car which collided with a tree and there were significant injuries to his two passengers."
He said the officer involved in the pursuit estimated that at one point he was travelling at 100mph and Thomas seemed to be still pulling away.
The court heard Thomas had sustained a serious brain injury in the crash.
His barrister Andrew Vout said his client is due to undergo an operation to insert a plate over his brain and needs therapy for slow speech and poor balance.
Sentencing Thomas, Recorder Paul Mann QC, said: "Having seen the photos of the wreckage, it is a wonder any of you survived."
Thomas, of Scott Drive, Somercotes, Alfreton, pleaded guilty to two charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He was also banned from driving for two and half years and ordered to take an extended driving test.
The Spurs chairman refused West Ham's bid to seal the loan deal after the 30-year-old Togo striker had agreed terms.
Tottenham were open to allowing him to leave during the transfer window and were prepared to subsidise more than half of his £100,000-a-week wages.
But they refused to extend those terms to West Ham, because they deemed them direct rivals.
Senior officials from both clubs were in talks until 23:00 GMT on Monday.
West Ham co-chairman David Gold apologised to fans after deals fell through having raised hopes of additions.
"Don't go to bed. DG," tweeted Gold during Monday evening.

But after the deadline passed without any new recruits, he added: "Sorry for keeping you up late but at the last moment the main deal collapsed and the rest folded like a pack of cards."
He thanked co-owner David Sullivan and manager Sam Allardyce for their efforts, blaming the Premier League club's failure to land new players on "people out there that you just can't do business with".
The collapse of the Adebayor deal had a domino effect, with the Hammers then blocking Carlton Cole's move to West Brom as they feared a lack of striking cover.
West Ham and Spurs have been in dispute in recent years over the use of the Olympic Stadium, which will be the Hammers' new home from the 2016-17 season.
QPR also made an enquiry for former Arsenal and Manchester City player Adebayor, who was not willing to join the Loftus Road club and will now attempt to force his way back into manager Mauricio Pochettino's plans.

"Given that I will not seek re-election, I am standing down from my role as Scottish Conservative finance spokesman.
"This decision takes immediate effect. It has been a thoroughly fascinating role at a key time in Scottish politics. However, it is a pivotal role and I believe it must be held by someone who intends to stand at the next election."
Pre-race favourite Ribchester rallied late but struggled in wet conditions as Here Comes When, a 20-1 shot, won the £1m Group One race, known as the 'Duel on the Downs'.
Lightning Spear was third.
Churchill, the dual 2000 Guineas winner, was withdrawn after persistent rain changed the going to soft.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien told ITV Sport before the race: "We came here wanting to run and are extremely disappointed but the year is long and hopefully there will be other chances. It is a pity."
Ribchester, trained by Richard Fahey and part of Sheikh Mohammed's resurgent Godolphin string, was successful in this season's Lockinge Stakes and Queen Anne Stakes, but missed out on the chance to complete a Group One hat-trick.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
A fabulous result for the Here Comes When team, but not a very meaningful one in the scheme of things because of the weather.
Torrential rain tore the guts out of the day for race-goers, and, by turning the going so soft and causing the defection of Churchill, it tore the guts out of the race too.
Here Comes When loves these wet conditions, and is always promising to pop up when no-one much is expecting it, and that's what's happened.
Credit to Ribchester, who rallied late on after losing the lead but failed by a neck.
His relatives and supporters condemned the decision, saying they wanted proof that it was his body.
The High Court said it lacked jurisdiction over the case.
Seen by many as Africa's Che Guevara, Mr Sankara was hastily buried after being killed during a 1987 coup led by incumbent President Blaise Compaore.
The anti-imperialist revolutionary became president in 1983 after an internal power struggle and led his country for four years.
The court's ruling was greeted with outrage and contempt by Mr Sankara's relatives and supporters, reports journalist Chris Simpson from the capital, Ouagadougou.
Campaigners say the family never had the chance to identify his body before he was buried in the capital's Dagnoen cemetery.
About 100 people protested outside court, chanting "down with the Burkinabe judiciary" and "when will the Burkinabe people know the truth?", AFP news agency reports.
Mr Sankara was killed by a group of soldiers at the age of 37.
Public interest in Mr Sankara remains high in Burkina Faso, with opposition group demanding answers about his death, correspondents say.
Family lawyer Benewende Sankara said he would appeal against the decision.
"We are not happy," AFP quoted him as saying.
President Compaore has so far refused to agree to Mr Sankara's exhumation, and has always denied being involved in the ex-leader's killing, Chris Simpson reports.
Mr Compaore insists the "facts are known" and he has "nothing to hide", he adds.
When Thomas Sankara took power in 1983 he changed the West African state's colonial name of Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, which means "the land of upright men".
His supporters say he was incorruptible, unlike many other African leaders.
Mr Sankara was seen as charismatic and wore a beret, leading to comparisons with the Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara.
Many taxis across West Africa still have a round sticker of him on their windscreens.
Hugh Sim was convicted of sexually abusing the girl, and making and distributing indecent photos.
The 30-year-old denied he was the person in the images, but a former lover identified him by his heavyset build and ginger hair.
A jury at the High Court of Glasgow convicted him of five charges.
Sim was originally charged with raping the girl, but that charge was withdrawn by the Crown.
A New Zealand police operation uncovered Sim as a subscriber to a paedophile chat group, who had posted indecent images.
Advocate depute Lisa Gillespie said: "There is no doubt that the images of the girl have been distributed, because they were found by police in New Zealand.
"So at the very least they must have been distributed there."
Sim was remanded in custody by judge Johanna Johnston, and is to be sentenced next month.
While the pain is the same for rich and poor, the expense, for the rich, can be a lot, lot greater.
The numbers are eye-watering, from estimated £600 an hour top-tier divorce lawyers, to massive pay-outs at the end of the case.
Financier Sir Chris Hohn holds the record for a British settlement, paying £337 million to his former wife, Jamie Cooper-Hohn in 2014.
Last year Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton spent £800,000 on legal fees and ended up splitting his (or, perhaps more accurately, their) £11m fortune down the middle.
Although Ms Jolie filed for the "dissolution of marriage" on Monday in the Los Angeles Superior Court, it is London that has become the divorce capital of the world for the super-rich.
Michael Gouriet, family law partner at Withers law firm in London explains the city's allure: "First, we have a system of sharing everything that has been built up in the marriage. All the assets are taken into account. Second, the courts have a very wide discretion, which translates into much greater scope to be very generous to the financially weaker spouse."
By contrast European divorce law tends more towards dividing assets based on how much the couples might need in their future lives.
Inconveniently for the partners of the super-rich, it is Monaco which follows this idea most assiduously.
Divorce in the Principality will only divide wealth that has been commonly created by the couple. If you had no money when you married someone rich, you'll probably have not much more when you divorce.
The website Monaco Wealth Management says getting divorced there "can be very tricky" and lays out quite clearly what happens when rich marries poor - and then divorces: " If you are a wealthy guy having €100m and you live with your wife from a monthly living cost of €5,000, then based on the standard law practice in Monaco the maximum you pay to your ex-wife is €300,000 Euro, which is the monthly living cost for five years. This means you will still keep 99.7% of your wealth."
So any Monaco-resident billionaire being subtly persuaded by their spouse to up sticks to London might want to think carefully.
But just being in England or Wales doesn't get you the right to have a divorce there. You don't need citizenship, but you do need what is loosely called "residency".
And the jurisdiction in which you file for divorce can be crucial.
Take the case of Pauline Chai and her estranged tycoon husband Khoo Kay Peng, who owns 40% of fashion retailer Laura Ashley. Ms Chai owns a £30m property in Hertfordshire.
Together they spent a reported £5-6m in legal fees simply fighting over whether to get divorced in England or Malaysia.
Ms Chai got her way and last year a High Court judge ruled that proceedings should be launched in England.
European regulations, under what's called "Brussels II Revised", cuts through the problem of jurisdiction by saying wherever a petition is filed in the EU's 27 countries, that is where the case continues.
However, Brexit may undo that. Mr Gouriet says: "It's not exactly clear how Brexit will change things but, it is possible that we may end up with a lot more fighting over jurisdictions, whether to hear cases in London, Rome, Paris or wherever."
Another attraction of London for a wealthy couple in search of separation, is that you can get a divorce settlement in London, even when you have already been divorced in another country.
Barbara Reeves Family Partner at law firm Mishcon de Reya told the BBC: "Originally this statutory provision was intended to protect migrants to England from the Commonwealth in the post war years - particularly where their country of origin would not make financial orders following divorce.
"More recently, given England's reputation as a generous divorce jurisdiction, this provision has been invoked by the spouses of internationally wealthy individuals who have made a home, or have a base, in London and surrounding counties."
The most famous example of this so-called "second bite at the cherry" is the £53m ($69m) award to the former model Christina Estrada, which followed a divorce (without her knowledge) from businessman Sheikh Walid Juffali in Saudi Arabia in 2014.
London is also good for spouses who reckon their other halves have been less than honest about the extent of their wealth.
Mr Gouriet says: "English courts have very, very broad disclosure powers, not just in terms of individual wealth but also in terms of business interests and trusts, and decisions can be overturned five, ten years or even more after they were made, if a spouse is found not to have revealed the full extent of their wealth."
Alison Sharland, from Wilmslow in Cheshire, accepted a £10m settlement in her 2010 divorce from her husband Charles, a software entrepreneur, representing, she thought, half of his wealth and 30% of the proceeds of shares held by her husband in his company when he sold them.
But Ms Sharland alleged that he had lied about his company's value - which the financial press estimated to be worth about £600m, when the value used in the divorce case was £47m - as well as plans to float it on the stock market.
The Supreme Court found in Ms Sharland's favour last year allowing her to claim a greater share of her former husband's assets .
And the super-rich have become very proficient at finding obscure and distant mattresses under which they can stuff their wealth.
Some of them came to light through an unexpected source earlier this year - the Mossack Fonseca papers.
These secret "Panama Papers", more than 11 million documents, leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, showed how Mossack Fonseca, a global law firm based in Panama, shielded assets not just from the tax-man but from alimony-hungry spouses.
One email revealed in the leak reads: "A Dutch man married to a Dutch lady living in The Netherlands wants to protect part of his assets against the unpleasant results of a divorce (on the horizon!). What are your recommendations on this?"
Mossack Fonseca offered help to a husband in Thailand who wanted a "silver bullet" to protect his assets from his wife and an Ecuadorian customer was given assistance "to acquire a Panamanian corporation to transfer assets before the divorce."
It is usually men who squirrel away assets from their wives, but the situation can be reversed. The Panama Papers also highlighted the case of a Peruvian woman who openly tells her financial consultants that she has hidden her assets in companies to prevent her husband from discovering that she had inherited money.
Mossack Fonseca representatives have said that they "regret any misuse of the companies we create or services we offer. Wherever possible we take steps to either uncover or stop such misuse."
Now even Washington is expressing doubt.
"We hope the list of demands will soon be presented to Qatar and will be reasonable and actionable," was the diplomatically phrased message of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
His polite nudging came a day after an unusually blunt statement from Washington over a delay in providing details that had "mystified" state department officials.
"At this point, we are left with one simple question: Were the actions really about their concerns regarding Qatar's alleged support for terrorism, or were they about the long simmering grievances?"a spokeswoman asked.
That rebuke stood in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump's fulsome support for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, backed by neighbouring Bahrain and Egypt, when they first took actions that included closing Qatar's only land border and limiting its airspace.
An answer to the state department's question is said to be on the way.
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Adel al-Jubeir, told us on Friday that a list of "grievances" would be presented to Qatar "fairly soon", addressing its alleged support for terrorism and extremist groups destabilising the region.
Mr Jubeir and UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash, who have been shuttling between capitals, also said a monitoring and verification system aimed at stopping flows of money and other support was in the works. One source said details of a new mechanism should be ready within a week.
But Qatar is already rebuffing what is expected to be the next salvo.
"Those who oppose Qatar's political stances always use 'terrorism' as a pretext," was the response of a senior Qatari diplomat in Doha, who told me by email they were still receiving "mixed messages".
He said "no demands had been put forward" and dismissed new moves as "the latest chapter in a concerted and co-ordinated smear campaign to dictate Qatar's foreign policy".
And Qatar's Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, has made it clear there would be no negotiations until the punishing measures were lifted.
For the moment, it is hard to see a way out of a diplomatic deadlock which is also a deeply personal test of political wills.
Tensions have simmered for years as ambitious, gas-rich Qatar forged its own agenda in the region.
Powerful ruling families in Saudi Arabia and the UAE have kept a watchful and worried eye on Doha's support for Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, its relations with Riyadh's arch-rival Iran, as well as funding of jihadist forces including, they claim, groups linked to al-Qaida on the battlefields of Syria and Libya. Doha denies providing support to the most extreme Islamist groups.
Last week, the new offensive gathered pace as Saudi, Emirati and Bahraini foreign ministers converged on London with more ammunition to win over allies at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and woo the media. Qatar's foreign minister had been there just days before.
In the hushed surroundings of an elegant room in a London hotel, charge sheets of "Qatari support for extremism" were distributed by Emirati diplomats and aides.
Mr Gargash was categorical: "This is about behaviour change, not regime change."
He described plans for the monitoring system as still in the stage of "vague ideas". But he tried to make it crystal clear why it was needed.
"Fifty-nine people, many of them on the terrorist lists in the US or at the UN, are roaming free within the state of Qatar," he said in an interview after the press briefing.
And he pointed to an urgent need to monitor money flows after a recent "episode" in which ransom money, reportedly as much as a billion dollars, was dispatched to Iraq to free a hunting party, including Qatari princes, taken hostage by Iran-backed militias.
Iraqi officials are said to have seized the suitcases of money at the airport.
"There is zero trust," insisted Mr Gargash, who said a monitoring system was essential and could only work if "our Western friends play a role".
A few hours later, at the Saudi embassy in London, Mr Jubeir said they are also working on the list of grievances but made a point of saying: "I would not call them demands." He batted away suggestions this had more to do with Iran and regional rivalries.
"At its core, it's about stopping the funding of extremism and terrorism as well as incitement and interference in the affairs of other countries," he said.
"We hope wisdom will prevail and Qatar will respond," he said in an interview, calling it the "demand of the whole world".
But Qatar is pushing back against efforts to pull in outside powers instead of keeping this in the royal families.
"These allegations breach our Riyadh Agreement of 2014, which includes a mechanism to resolve our differences," pointed out the Qatari diplomat who sent his own charge sheet to me by email.
"We believe this crisis should be resolved within the GCC," he added, in reference to the six-member Gulf Co-operation Council, established in 1981 to consolidate countries' financial and political clout.
Kuwait's emir is shuttling between capitals, so far with little success. So is the foreign minister of Turkey, which along with Iran has offered assistance to Qatar to cope with shortages and travel disruption. Western diplomats, including Secretary Tillerson, are carefully calling for de-escalation and discussion.
Both the Saudi and Emirati ministers say they have tried dialogue before. They accuse Qatar's emir of breaking promises made three years ago.
So why now? Has their new ally in the White House now emboldened them?
"On a macro level, I would say yes," conceded Mr Gargash. "We see the Trump administration's prioritisation of the fight against extremism and terrorism, and this is a big, big change."
But this fight is a murky business in the region. Money from official and private sources has flowed to armed groups from most Gulf states for years. In Syria's war, it often amounted to sacks of cash dropped at hotels in Turkey. That is where accountability often ended as money moved across the border to messy battlefields.
Qatar repeatedly came under criticism in many capitals for allegedly backing the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which was previously known as al-Nusra Front and is one of the most formidable jihadist groups battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces. But other Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, also fund hardline Islamist fighters.
In recent years, Riyadh has taken steps to clamp down.
"We shut down the financing of terrorism," insists Mr Jubeir who, like his Emirati colleague, now refers to any misdirected funds as "legacy".
"We can't shut it completely but as much as we can, and more than any other country in the world."
But Qatar says it has also taken action. Its reply to its neighbours' latest charge is to point to its bona fides as an active member of the US-led coalition against so-called Islamic State.
Just weeks before this crisis erupted, the US ambassador to Doha posted a tweet praising the country as "a strong partner in combating terrorist financing".
"The monitoring won't be effective if you single out one source," says Sultan Barakat, who heads the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies at the Doha Institute.
"There are sympathisers right across the region, some more dangerous than others."
Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE accept that every country must play its part, but for now the target is Qatar and there is a lot at stake.
"If Qatar can be convinced to give up support for militant groups abroad, including the Muslim Brotherhood which isn't regarded by most countries as terrorist, they may as well give up having their own foreign policy and run it from Riyadh," explains a Western expert on Islamist movements.
It is not clear how far Qatar's critics will go. Mr Gargash admitted it was a dangerous moment. "I'm worried less about escalation and more about isolation" of Qatar, he said.
Both sides are now marshalling allies and political ammunition for what looks set to be a long haul.
A consultancy firm commissioned by the council, said the 92-year-old venue needed "considerable investment", which the authority could not justify.
The theatre still stages concerts, shows and films, but is within an area earmarked for redevelopment.
Scarborough Borough Council currently pays the Futurist's operator an annual subsidy of £80,000.
Councillor David Chance, cabinet member for tourism and culture, said there were no plans to close the theatre as long as it had an operator, but its future depended on the council's proposals for the area.
"I don't want to close theatres, I am a theatre man so closing one is an anathema to me, but we've got to be realistic," he said.
The development brief for the area identifies the site as a potential tourism focal point for the South Bay foreshore, providing leisure and entertainment facilities.
Neil Price from the Scarborough Town Action Group, which has campaigned for the theatre to stay open, said its eventual closure seemed "inevitable".
"I think it will be a sad day for Scarborough because it's an important part of our heritage," he said.
"For many years now Scarborough Borough Council has spent very little maintaining the theatre and it's probably got to a point now where possibly millions will be needed to refurbish it - millions the council doesn't currently have.
"Our concern in the long term is that the Futurist will close, it will be boarded up for many years to come and it will become an eyesore."
In December 1963 the Beatles performed at The Futurist and other stars who have trodden the boards at the 2,000-seat theatre include Morecambe and Wise, Shirley Bassey and Ken Dodd.
The 23-year-old Nottingham-born folk and indie rock singer is one of 10 sponsors who have agreed month-long deals during the 2017-18 season.
Commercial operations manager Simon Fotheringham told the club website: "To attract someone of Jake Bugg's stature is a major coup.
"Add in the fact Jake's a massive Notts fan and it's a match made in heaven."
Each sponsor will see their logo appear on the front of the players shirts during their chosen month.
Bugg, who owns two platinum discs for his self-titled debut album from 2012, has released three albums so far, the last of which 'on my one' was in June 2016.
Earlier this month, BBC Radio 5 live presenter Darren Fletcher was one of six appointments to Notts County's new board of directors.
Campaign director Angus Robertson made the prediction to delegates at the SNP conference.
He told those gathered in Glasgow: "I believe with hard work and with the positive SNP vision - we can win this election."
Voters throughout the UK will go to the polls on 7 May to choose who will be their next MP.
Recent polling has suggested that the SNP will win the majority of Scotland's 59 seats.
Currently Labour has 41, the Liberal Democrats have 11, the SNP holds six and the Conservatives have one.
Mr Robertson said: "The best ever SNP Westminster result was 30% of the vote when the SNP won 11 seats in 1974. I believe this year we can do better. I believe we will do better."
But he stressed that the result was "not certain".
He added: "The polls suggest it may well happen. Those of us that are knocking on doors, we know that it can happen, but we will not take anything for granted. And we will work every hour of every day until the polls close in that general election to secure an SNP victory across the length and breadth of Scotland."
While the nationalists failed to win independence in last year's referendum, the party has seen a massive surge in support, and now has 100,000 members, making it the third biggest political party in the UK.
Mr Robertson said: "We are going into this election in the strongest pre-election phase of support in the party's history, with our 100,000 members making us the third largest political party in the UK and this is the biggest SNP conference yet with 3,000 delegates here."
He said that more seats for the SNP would bring about "more influence and power for the people of Scotland".
He pledged: "We will play a constructive role in Westminster and bring our ideas forward in a positive spirit. We will offer a real alternative to the drab Tory-Labour cuts consensus.
"It is time for a more responsible economic policy. One which boosts long term growth, creates jobs and delivers all."
Mr Robertson told the conference: "Scotland, these will be the hallmarks of the SNP campaign. We take nothing for granted and will work harder over these next 40 days than we have ever done before."
John Marshall, from North Tyneside, has been charged with eight offences of indecent assault alleged to have been committed between 1980 and 1982.
The 69-year-old, of Elmsford Grove, Longbenton, will appear at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court on 14 June.
He is the second person to be charged as part of Northumbria Police's Operation Tide.
The investigation covers allegations of child abuse at football clubs in the North East.
Benefit claimant counts rather than official unemployment statistics have been used by some Tory candidates.
A research historian said the claims were based on "wrong information" and questioned the legitimacy of their use.
The Tories said data used was the best at a local level, but it is the only one of the main parties to make claims using Jobseekers' Allowance figures.
Both Robert Halfon, in Harlow, and John Baron, standing in Basildon and Billericay, claim unemployment has halved, while Rebecca Harris's literature in her Castle Point campaign claims unemployment has dropped by 60% over the past five years. These figures are based on the fall in the number claiming Job Seekers' Allowance (JSA).
However, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures show an unemployment drop of about 20% in those seats.
The ONS says online "the number of unemployed people in the UK is substantially higher than the claimant count".
Jonathan Portes, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, said: "The number of people on job seekers' allowance is not the same as the official definition of unemployment because many people who are unemployed don't claim JSA.
"But, JSA figures at the local level are accurate, but it is not correct to confuse JSA rates and unemployment."
"Ideally, politicians should be clear on the data they use. JSA is meaningful but different from unemployment."
This week, addressing a crowd in Calder Valley, David Cameron referred to a poster saying "unemployment is down 61% here since 2010, that's a record we can be proud of and get out and sell".
The ONS figures show unemployment actually fell 28% between May 2010 - when unemployment was at 3,200 - and December 2014, when it stood at 2,300 in Calder Valley.
Prof Sir Deian Hopkins, a trustee of the Institute of Historical Research Development Trust, said: "The question you want to ask is whether this illegitimate, is this wrong in an election to give people the wrong information?
"Well, of course, this is what [those involved in] elections have always been doing."
While Treasury Minister and Witham MP Priti Patel hasn't used JSA figures, West Suffolk MP and fellow Treasury Minister Matthew Hancock claimed in a press release unemployment had fallen by about 60% in his seat since 2010. The ONS figures suggest unemployment in his constituency has remained flat for the past five years.
In September 2010, 3,500 were unemployed in West Suffolk it was 3,400 in September last year according to the ONS. Mr. Hancock did say he was using JSA figures.
A Conservative spokesman said: "This [questions surrounding the use of JSA figures] is nonsense. This unemployment measure is provided by the independent House of Commons Library - and for constituencies they are the most up to date and most reliable numbers to use.
"They are used by MPs and candidates across the country, regardless of political party."
In recent statements on unemployment issues, both Labour and the Liberal Democrats use the ONS unemployment figures.
The agreement was announced at a regional conference in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said the foreign secretaries of both countries would meet to set an agenda for meetings on "peace and security".
Talks are to include Kashmir, the spark for two of the rivals' wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
The region, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years.
"The foreign secretaries of both countries will meet and chart out the agenda for the meetings," Ms Swaraj told reporters after meeting her counterpart, Sartaj Aziz.
Pakistan is said to have assured the Indian side that it is taking steps to expedite the early conclusion of trials of those accused of involvement in the Mumbai attacks of 2009, the BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Pakistan reports.
Ms Swaraj's visit came in the aftermath of a dramatic rise - and then a rather sudden easing - in tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
Pakistan wants to discuss Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety.
India wants Pakistan to allow greater commercial interaction, liberalise visa regimes, grant transit rights to traders between Delhi and Kabul, and stamp out militant groups which it believes Pakistan has fostered to destabilise Kashmir and Afghanistan.
This is a complex situation, and talks in the past have often broken down, underlining a trust deficit on both sides.
A measure of success will be if they can draw up a road-map for more substantive talks in the near future - and then make progress on the many long-running issues which divide them.
Thousands of workers could strike in a dispute over proposed changes to pensions which could see workers retiring at 65 instead of 60.

More than 100 police officers executed warrants at seven homes in Oxford, one in Banbury, one in Chipping Norton, one in Aylesbury and one in Surrey.
Cash, cars and a quantity of suspected controlled drugs were seized.
The seven men, aged between 27 and 48, all from Oxford, were held on suspicion of drugs offences and are in custody.
Det Chief Insp Darran Hill, of Thames Valley Police, said: "Our investigation is far from over and our action today demonstrates our absolute determination and commitment to tackle organised crime."
The homes raided were at:
The country saw a cold spell strike over the weekend, with even southern regions such as Guangdong seeing snow.
Residents of the provincial capital of Guangzhou, which normally sees balmier weather, were delighted by the rare occurrence.
Online, Guangzhou residents shared pictures of tiny snowmen that they had made on the microblogging network Weibo.
In Hong Kong record low temperatures of about 3 C on Sunday saw tourists and locals alike bundling up in warm clothing. Schools and kindergartens were closed across the city on Monday.
At Tai Mo Shan, a popular hiking spot in Hong Kong, the temperature plunged to sub-zero levels leading to difficulty among several hikers, who had to be helped off the peak by emergency services.
Other places in the east and north of China which are accustomed to cold weather also saw unusually low temperatures. In the eastern city of Qingdao, fishing boats were stuck in frozen waters.
Much of the eastern city of Hangzhou was also frozen, making for stunning icy winter landscapes.
The cold and heavy snow in some parts have affected transport links across the country, slowing down traffic and closing off highways in some places. In the central Jiangxi province rail workers have been clearing snow off the tracks.
In Beijing, some swimming enthusiasts jumped into the Houhai lake over the weekend where the water temperature was 1 C.
And in the city of Hulun Buir, in Inner Mongolia which has seen sub-zero temperatures, policemen patrolling the streets have endured ice forming on their faces.
Barry secured promotion back to the Welsh Premier League with a 3-0 win over Goytre United on Tuesday.
The club were withdrawn from the Welsh Football League in 2013 but are back in the top tier after being saved by fans.
"He kept the club going through dark times and now has brought the glory days back," said Cole.
As Barry Town, the Vale of Glamorgan club had enjoyed a legendry place in Welsh football folklore.
The club dominated the then-League of Wales in the 1990s and forays into Europe saw them become the first Welsh club to win a Champions League qualifier in 2001 when they beat Azerbaijan side, FK Shamkir to set up a tie with Portuguese giants Porto.
Despite an 8-0 hammering away in the first leg, Barry pulled off a now legendry 3-1 victory in the second-leg in front of their own fans.
But administration followed and in 2013 former-owner Stuart Lovering pulled them from the league, effectively killing the club until fans stepped in and took over.
There was a High Court fight with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) to even get readmitted to the Welsh Leagues, but now, after 13 years away, Barry are back in the domestic top-flight.
Chesterfield, who has even had his wife come in to help with the running of the club at times, was keen to share the promotion plaudits.
"To me this means everything," he said.
"We set out on this journey a long time ago These boys have stuck with us through thick and thin, it's a really romantic story. There are hundreds of people involved in this club at all levels who contribute time week in and week out.
"The supporters have been there through thick and thin too. There's a danger people just see my name there, but behind it there has been an army of people."
One of that 'army' has been Cole, who has a 28-year association with the club, and he was keen to praise the role played by Chesterfield in Barry's renaissance.
"He has done everything for the club," he added.
"He has been the catalyst of everything that has happened at this club over the last four years, without him, we would not be where we are now. I firmly believe that.
"This is the culmination of four years of fighting to get back to where we believe we should be. Four years ago we were in the footballing wilderness and at times it felt like a pipe dream, but we have proved fairytales do come true."
Aberdeen said acquiring Flag Capital Management would bring additional Asian expertise to the company and deepen its client base in the US.
Flag's focus includes real assets in the US, as well as private equity in the Asia-Pacific region.
Real assets are physical or tangible assets such as commodities, precious metals, real estate and oil.
As of 31 December, US-based Flag managed assets of about $6.3bn on behalf of clients.
Aberdeen chief executive Martin Gilbert said: "Institutional investors are increasingly looking towards alternative asset classes, including private market allocations, to diversify their portfolios and enhance returns.
"This transaction is in line with Aberdeen's strategy of undertaking clear value-added acquisitions that will assist with accelerating business growth in this area."
The protest comes after a court on Monday jailed a journalist for a year over charges that included "disturbing a public servant" and trespass.
Local journalists and rights groups have called for Zaw Pe's release.
Media in the country, also known as Burma, was heavily censored by the government until recently.
Democratic Voice of Burma video journalist Zaw Pe, 41, is planning to appeal against his conviction, reports say.
According to the Democratic Voice of Burma, he had visited the department of education in Magwe District to do an interview about a Japanese-funded scholarship programme
The paper ran a black cover with the message: "Journalism is not a crime." The protest was repeated across major daily newspapers, BBC Monitoring reports.
Several journalists have been arrested or jailed on various charges in the last four months, reports add.
The black newspaper pages became a topic of discussion among readers in the cities of Mandalay and Yangon, also known as Rangoon, a BBC correspondent says.
In Mandalay, more than a dozen journalists also distributed leaflets to protest against Zaw Pe's case.
A reporter from the Democratic Voice of Burma, Kyaw Zay, told the BBC that journalists were still being harassed despite authorities promising more transparency and freedom.
Myanmar has been undergoing a series of democratic reforms since a nominally civilian government came into power in 2011, replacing decades of military rule.
Since then, direct government censorship of the media has been abolished and privately-owned newspapers were allowed to operate for the first time in decades.
But correspondents say that journalists in the country still face some of the harshest restrictions in the world.
Reporters Without Borders ranks Myanmar 145 out of 180 countries in its 2014 press freedom index.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the group's Asia-Pacific head, Benjamin Ismail, said the impact of Zaw Pe's sentence on freedom of information was worrying.
"It is unacceptable that local officials can obstruct a journalist's work and have him sentenced to imprisonment just because they feel he disturbed them," he said.
"We call on the local authorities to release Zaw Pe and we ask the government to ensure that media freedom is respected equally everywhere, without differences between Rangoon and the rest of the country."
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said there was "no alternative" to structural changes.
After years of tough budget cuts, Greece's economy is emerging from recession but the radical left Syriza party is leading in the opinion polls.
Its leader says "austerity will be history" if Syriza wins on 25 January.
Alexis Tsipras said Monday was a "historic day for Greek democracy", as parliament rejected the presidential candidate nominated by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.
Stavrov Dimas, a former European commissioner, secured the votes of only 168 MPs, the same number he had won during the second vote last week.
The Syriza leader told supporters that the vote had marked the "end of the regime that sank the country into poverty, unemployment, grief and desperation."
The government's defeat is regarded as a major setback for eurozone countries that helped bring Greece back from the brink in 2010.
Since then €240bn (£188bn; $290bn) has been spent helping Greece pay off its debts. In return for two major bailouts, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund demanded stringent austerity measures.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Samaras, whose centre-right New Democracy party dominates the current ruling coalition, said the public risked finding out "how easy it is to relapse into the deepest and most dramatic crisis" after the new election, the fourth in six years of financial crisis.
Investors fear Mr Tsipras's left-wing opposition party might act on popular resentment at six years of government austerity by seeking to overhaul the international bailout deal.
In response to the vote, the IMF said talks on completing a review of the bailout, which Greece would need if it were to leave the the EU-IMF programme, would take place only when a new government was in place.
The Athens stock market fell 7% on Monday as news of the vote sank in, with bank shares among the worst affected.
Investors sold off Greek government bonds, pushing bond yields above 9%. The government's borrowing costs on 10-year bonds rose to 9.7%, in a reminder of the 2010 crisis when 10-year bonds soared above 11%.
The European Central Bank made clear its preference for Greece to continue reforming its finances rather than ending austerity measures, praising its "impressive progress" in stabilising its public finances.
Mr Schaeuble warned that things could become difficult if Greece took a "different path".
"New elections change nothing about the agreements that the Greek government has entered into," the eurozone's most powerful finance minister added. "Any new government must stick to the contractual agreements of its predecessors."

If Andy Murray's first Wimbledon title had a giddy, dream-like quality, sealed with a tortuous final act, his second was sport as a peerless demonstration, a nerveless execution.
You could almost enjoy it. You could almost relax.
As his 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory over a bemused Milos Raonic sank in, the 29-year-old buried his face in his towel and wept like a man overwhelmed by it all.
It was an image at odds with everything that had gone before. This was a fortnight of total control, a campaign almost without flaws, a final assault where every objective was taken exactly as planned.
Two sets lost in two weeks. Only two break points conceded in almost three hours. An opponent who had hit 137 aces in his previous six matches kept down to just eight in the entire contest.
If it appeared almost cold-blooded in its brilliance, the warm golden glow from this win will spread far beyond a celebratory Centre Court.

In an unparalleled era for British sport - a record-breaking haul from an unforgettable Olympics, a first Tour de France win and then two more, Ryder Cups won home and away, Lions series taken - Murray has now produced two of its most sacred days.
We can count ourselves blessed to have witnessed them. A men's singles title at Wimbledon was always the holy grail, impossible to even imagine for most of the 77 years. Men had lived and died without anyone getting close.
Now it has happened twice, and in such circumstances that only the perennially pessimistic could not imagine similar scenes on future summer days. Murray, hugging the old gold trophy so tightly to his chest that bolt-cutters could not have prised his arms away, looked a man with no intention of ever letting go.
Centre Court has not always felt this way for him. It was where he cried in defeat to Roger Federer in 2012, where he suffered death by tie-break to Andy Roddick in 2009, where he was overwhelmed by Rafael Nadal in successive semi-finals over the next two years. Even after the wonder of 2013 came quarter-final defeat Grigor Dimitrov and the perfection of Federer in the semi-final a year ago.
On Sunday it was once again his sun-kissed domain. And while 2013 may never be matched for emotional impact, for its first man back on the moon wonder, for its stop-the-clocks shock, this second win is arguably a greater achievement still.
Since the defeat of Novak Djokovic three years ago there has been surgery on his back and a brutal dissection of his game in the three Grand Slam finals where the two have met again. Murray appeared doomed to be the most gifted of stooges, a brilliant player denied his rightful rewards by the misfortune of playing all his 10 Slam finals against two of the greatest talents in history.
Djokovic's recent supremacy has cowed other men, left other contenders wondering what else they could possibly do.
Murray, at a stage of his career where he is financially comfortable and reputationally secure, has instead pushed harder. A stronger second serve, a faster forehand. A greater consistency, a renewed resolve.
Each of those and more came together on Sunday afternoon. It is unfair to call Raonic a tennis robot, for he too has added sweet elements to his game, displayed more than just a car-crusher serve in fighting through to his first Grand Slam final.
There is romance too in his back-story, if not the same saga that Murray has created: the immigrant kid with non-sporting parents, the outsider who had to train at 6am and 11pm when coming through because it was the only time his family could afford the practice courts.
On Sunday Murray ripped out his circuit-boards. A serve that has been unstoppable all tournament was returned with impossible ease. A volleying game that took him past Federer on Friday was first damaged then dismantled. A man who has moved better in this fortnight than ever before was left looking heavy-legged and unhappy.
Murray had broken him in the seventh game of the first set when the Canadian put a simple volley into the net. But it was in a game Raonic eventually won that perversely produced the moment that best summed up the match: 4-3 in the second set, a hammering 147 mph serve, the second fastest in championship history, returned by Murray as if hit in slow-motion, followed up by a backhand pass that reduced his opponent to audience member, to powerless bystander.

It was one of so many backhand winners, one of so many brilliant returns, that even had Djokovic been across the net once again you sensed the result may have been the same.
Raonic and Murray had played five tie-breaks before this final. Raonic had won four of them. In the two here, Murray was 5-0 up before the younger man could blink, his defence outstanding, his shot selection perfect.
Gone was the introverted, sometimes disconsolate figure who can appear at war with himself when things turn bad. There was shouting, and there were pumping fists, but all of it channelling inner warrior rather than teenager, a man in maturity assured of everything at his feet.
Throughout it all, Ivan Lendl, his totem of a coach, sat watching with all the obvious passion of a Easter Island monolith. Then, because it was that sort of day, he too cracked, tears in the eyes as his charge raised his arms to the south London skies.
Because that is what Murray has brought to his faithful watchers: torment at times, and sometimes disappointment and frustration, but also great pleasure in his artistry and achievements. And on days like this, days most of us could once never imagine, a happiness that will remain long after the celebrations and eulogies have died away.

The Belfast potter, 46, who is ranked 58 in the world, told BBC Sport: "When I was getting up in the morning, I couldn't really see anything.
"I have had a lot of bad results and knew something wasn't right.
"I got my eyes tested and they found something wrong so I got it corrected. I had to do something drastic."
The two-time World Championship semi-finalist, and 2009 Welsh Open runner-up, was in scintillating form at the York Barbican and will face amateur Adam Duffy - a shock winner over Ding Junhui - in round two.
Swail added: "I have been really, really well in practice and but it's added pressure to bring it in to the match arena.
"I am a firm believer in practising hard and preparing hard and then the door will open.
"I got off to a flyer and was in a bit of a zone and it has all come about after getting my eyes done. I got 4-0 up and managed to get the job done done. I am absolutely over the moon.
"I had to make a decision. I didn't want to be getting by because I have been putting in the work and not getting the results and I know I am better than that. I had to do something."
Fellow Northern Irishman Mark Allen was full of praise for his good friend Swail.
"It's brilliant," world number 10 Allen told BBC Sport. "I am very close to him and I have known all the troubles he has had off the table. It's great to see him back winning matches in the major tournaments.
"We have practised a lot together in the last couple of years and in last month is the best I have seen him play for at least five years.
"He absolutely bashed me up in practice and it was great to see because you could see the confidence coming back.
"To get a 6-0 win against a very good player like Joel shows where his game is at. He is still a big-time player."
In a game of few chances, keeper Doherty made two great saves to deny Marc Griffin early in the second half.
Doherty then denied Jake Hyland in the 88th minute although Derry substitute Rory Holden headed a great chance wide in injury-time.
Derry's Mikhail Kennedy tested Drogheda replacement keeper Robbie Coulter.
Coulter had to be introduced early in the contest after Stephen McGuinness was stretchered off because of a head injury.
Before Friday's match, Derry City boss Kenny Shiels had spoken about the importance of playing entertaining football but his players were unable to deliver that on Friday evening.
Derry had an early let-off as Sean Brennan fired wide after a mistake by Dean Jarvis.
After keeper McGuinness had been replaced, Derry had a penalty shout as Drogheda's Kevin Farragher fouled Kennedy but referee Keith Kennedy adjudged that the offence had happened just outside the box.
With Ronan Curtis providing Derry's only real attacking threat, the home defence were being asked few questions whereas Doherty had to react brilliantly to deny Griffin twice after the resumption.
Replacement keeper Coulter pushed away Kennedy's shot on 70 minutes but Doherty had to maintain his concentration right to the end as he pushed away Hyland's effort on 88.
Substitute Holden could have won in for Derry as he headed a corner wide but in truth a winner in this low-quality contest would have been an injustice.
Derry remain in fourth place, two points behind third-placed Bray, who drew 2-2 at home to Sligo Rovers on Friday night.
Leaders Cork City's 4-1 home win over Shamrock Rovers keeps them 15 points clear of defending champions Dundalk, who won 2-0 at St Patrick's Athletic.

Daniel Kirkpatrick and Geoffrey Palis tries put Castres ahead at the break but Dragons responded strongly in the second half.
Carl Meyer and Elliot Dee crossed as Lyn Jones' side took a deserved 26-17 lead.
But Thomas Combezou and Alex Tulou secured a bonus point win for Castres.
Dragons had beaten Sale Sharks 30-12 in the first round of matches while Castres' game against Pau was postponed following the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Fly-half Kirkpatrick scored the home side's opening try on 15 minutes, converted by full-back Palis.
Dorian Jones opened Dragons' account with a penalty having missed a kick a minute earlier.
Palis missed a kick for the home side but crossed for the second try, which he duly converted before Jones succeeded with a second penalty.
Meyer's long range penalty ensured Dragons went in at the break trailing only five points behind their hosts to keep them in the game.
Lyn Jones' side started the second half strongly and having missed two opportunities to add to their total they were rewarded with their first try.
South African Meyer crossed and Jones added the extras.
Within a minute Palis had restored Castres' lead with a penalty but they were reduced to 14 men when Alexandre Bias was yellow carded.
Dragons took full advantage of Bias' absence with Jones' penalty putting them ahead before Elliott Dee crossed under the posts.
But Castres responded with Thomas Combezou's try coverted by to bring them within two points of the Dragons.
Palis's penalty edged Castres ahead and the momentum swung in the home side's favour as Dragons' were reduced to 14 men after Dorian Jones was shown a yellow card for a late tackle.
Alex Tulou crossed for a fourth try which secured a bonus point for Castres but Palis failed with the conversion.
Dragons reduced the home side's advantage with nine minutes remaining through Meyer's kick but Castres held on for victory.
Newport Gwent Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones said: "It was a big effort from the players and they gave everything they had.
"It ebbed and flowed and anybody could have won that in the end and perhaps Castres had a little bit too much advantage from the first half against the wind.
"We scored some really good tries and put a lot of pressure on them and we were unlucky several times not to score more but that's the way it is."

Seattle Police Department has revealed a suspect was captured after the BMW was traced and the car maker locked its doors remotely.
The man was found asleep in the BMW 5 Series, parked in an alley with the engine running.
The car was taken after a key fob was mistakenly left inside it.
Technology installed in the car meant the 38-year-old man could be detained as police approached.
The suspect attempted to drive away when officers from the Seattle Police Department woke him up, but he was unsuccessful.
According to the police department's report of the incident the car's owner got married the day before the theft.
A friend had borrowed the car and accidently left the key fob inside.
Owners of newer models of BMW's can use the ConnectedDrive app for a variety of functions, including unlocking their vehicle remotely.
The app is also designed to track the cars in case of an emergency. It knows how many occupants are in the car and can contact emergency services if it is involved in a crash, providing an exact GPS location.
A spokesman for the company confirmed people inside BMW cars can always open the doors from inside, whether or not it is locked remotely.
The story was reported by the police department last week, but it rose to prominence after it was picked up by technology website Cnet.
The Welsh Government marketing campaign aims to promote Wales' culture and heritage, and follows on from the 2016 Year of Adventure.
A "rich and inspiring" programme of events includes Dylan Thomas tours and trails, the unveiling of two major artworks and one of the world's biggest sporting events.
Funding is also available for projects.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said 2017 is not about looking backwards, but "bringing the past to life" with "cutting-edge innovation."
"It's about creating and celebrating new Welsh legends, modern-day personalities, products and events that are made in Wales, or enriched by coming here," he said.
The Welsh Government said £150m is spent on holidays in Wales every year where culture and heritage is the main activity, with 61% of overseas visitors citing Wales' historic sites as a key reason for their visit.
Visit Wales has already approved £1.28m for 35 projects as part of the Year of Legends, including:
Other highlights are the release of a new film about King Arthur and the UEFA Champions League final which will be held at the Principality Stadium in June.
There will also be a recognition of global talent inspired by Wales, from Roald Dahl to Dylan Thomas to J.R.R. Tolkien with tours and trails, as well as exhibitions and collections by Amgueddfa Cymru and the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
Hundreds of women were left in severe pain by operations to implant a surgical mesh.
They felt their symptoms were dismissed by the medical profession.
Shona Robison said they should not have had to lodge a petition in the Scottish Parliament to have their voices heard.
It also emerged that about 80 women have received the controversial procedure since former Health Secretary Alex Neil requested its suspension in June last year.
1,850
cases each year in Scotland
1-3% stress urinary incontinence patients suffer complications
2-6% pelvic organ prolapse patients suffer complications
An independent review into mesh implant surgery was ordered after women who had been left suffering from painful complications took their case to Holyrood.
Find out what the procedure is, and why it has caused a problem for some patients.
Ms Robison, appearing at the public petitions committee at the Scottish Parliament, said: "I'm happy to apologise to the women for having to basically campaign to bring it to everyone's attention.
"It should never have taken women to have to campaign in this way to shine a light on this issue. I want to thank them for all that they have done. They have left a legacy for other women.
"That is probably cold comfort for the ladies sitting behind me."
Elaine Holmes and Olive McIlroy of Scottish Mesh Survivors - the group which took the issue to Holyrood - want a public inquiry to be held or independent research to be carried out into the safety of mesh devices.
The committee hearing took place after the publication of an interim report by the Independent Review of Transvaginal Mesh Implants, which happened following the campaign.
Ms Holmes, Ms McIIroy and other women affected by the procedure sat behind those giving evidence to the committee.
Many shook their heads when they heard the practice had continued, and were visibly upset at other moments.
Ms Robison's apology came after a question by Labour MSP Neil Findlay.
He said: "One of the issues through this has been that the medical establishment has had a real willingness to believe those who said it was a fantastic procedure and product, and a real unwillingness to believe those who said this caused problems.
"Do you think someone should apologise to those women who were not believed?"
He said there were many in the medical establishment who still did not believe them.
Ms Robison said the women who had undergone the procedure since Mr Neil had called for its suspension last summer had asked for the procedures themselves, in light of all available information.
Ms Robison said: "The numbers of procedures have dropped dramatically.
"There have been very, very few carried out in light of the suspension.
"As I have said in parliament, where the women herself was asking for the procedure because of the distress that her condition was causing and the clinician was prepared to continue in that case, then those are the circumstances where the procedure can go ahead."
Ms Robison conceded there may have been an issue with the "communication of the time" as this may not have been the perception of some people, but the minister was clear this was always an option for women.
Catherine Calderwood, the Scottish government's chief medical officer, said that since the suspension call was made, 76 women had undergone procedures for stress, urinary and incontinence and "less than ten" women had received a mesh for a prolapse.
The interim review called for better training to ensure medical staff were more aware of the complications women could suffer after mesh implant surgery.
The report expressed "serious concerns that some women who had adverse events found they were not believed", adding that this added to their distress and meant they had to wait longer for help.
Ms Robison said the Scottish government accepted all the interim report's recommendations. The full report will be published at a later date.
Fielding's failure to control a backpass - minutes after he escaped a red card despite handing outside the area - allowed Wells a tap-in finish.
Elias Kachunga nodded the hosts ahead early on from a Tommy Smith cross.
Tammy Abraham punished Town's inability to clear a set-piece with the leveller, only for Wells to snatch the winner.
Huddersfield's first victory since a 1-0 triumph over Derby County on 22 October moved the West Yorkshire club up to fourth in table, while defeat saw the Robins slip to 13th.
David Wagner's Terriers, who could have been leapfrogged by the Robins if defeated at the John Smith's Stadium, looked positive throughout, with Fielding making two fine saves either side of the break - first to deny a deflected shot from Rajiv van La Parra in the first half and then later from Aaron Mooy when City were 2-1 down.
The opening goal came after some fine link-up work between Kachunga and Smith, ending with the striker heading home from close range.
Abraham's 13th goal in all competitions this season drew heavy criticism from the home fans as Aaron Wilbraham appeared to be offside as he rolled the ball past goalkeeper Danny Ward and into the path of the on-loan Chelsea striker to finish.
Wells, who was through one-on-one with Fielding when the goalkeeper handled the ball outside the area, was again onto the keeper quickly to score the decisive goal soon after.
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "I am very happy for Nahki. The goal came from a mistake by the goalkeeper but Nahki chased down the keeper and deserved that.
"Nahki works very hard and he had a role in the first goal when he made a run to open up the space for Elias.
"The players performed very well against a very hard opponent and we are very happy and proud.
"This was a massively huge win for us - 20 games have gone and we have 10 wins, which is fantastic. But we can only celebrate for a few minutes before we focus on the next game."
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson: "He (Fielding) has kept us in games and won us games. It was a mistake but I don't want to dwell on it.
"I have no complaints about the result. I felt we were in the game right into the second half.
"It hurts when you lose and we have lost too many away from home this season. The atmosphere is against you but then that's the case in every away game.
"It is disappointing and frustrating and we just didn't play our game. We have to be better."

The UAE is part of a coalition that has been battling the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen for almost nine months.
Its armed forces have suffered dozens of casualties there, and correspondents say this has made the authorities especially sensitive to the way they are portrayed.
The prosecutors complained that "some irresponsible persons were behaving improperly and in a manner that was certainly contemptuous of the local community which looked to its armed forces with deep respect and veneration".
Total revenue rose 26% to £1.7bn, including a 222% increase in China.
Dyson opened in China three years ago, selling vacuum cleaners and humidifiers but expanded its range to include purifiers in the last 12 months.
In December, Beijing was forced to issue two "red" warnings over hazardous smog levels, which boosted demand for Dyson's products the firm said.
Dyson said total sales of its environmental control products grew by 35% over the year, underpinned by strong growth in Asia, and it expects demand for purifiers to increase in 2016.
Profit for the year, measured as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, rose by 19% to £448m.
The company also lifted investment in new technologies by 23.5% to £206m and this year will open the first phase of its research, design and development campus in Malmesbury, Wiltshire as part of a £250m expansion of Dyson's headquarters.
Founder Sir James Dyson said: "By ramping up our investment in technology and expanding research and development we are developing machines that perform better and disrupt the status quo."
The determining event that led to a dramatic change of policy by both the military and the civilian government was the 16 December 2014 attack on an army public school in Peshawar that left 150 people dead - mostly children and female teachers.
The public and the army demanded retribution and emergency measures were taken after the Pakistani Taliban based in Afghanistan claimed to have carried out the attack.
Here are some of the far-reaching consequences for the country and ways in which it has changed.
An all-parties conference held by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Peshawar swiftly agreed to a 20-point National Action Plan that would combat and eliminate the threat of terrorism.
The army had in June 2014 already launched a military campaign to clear North Waziristan of the Taliban. It has since stepped up its offensive, targeting other areas such as the Khyber and Kurram tribal agencies in the border regions.
The military aspects of this plan have been implemented by the army in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province in particular.
But there has been a chronic lack of will shown by the civilian government over implementing the social and political aspects of the plan - in areas such as madrassa reform, containing the spread of extremism through social media, improving education and, most important of all, building the promised National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) that was established in 2009, but has remained dormant ever since.
The Nacta Act passed by parliament in 2013 would have bought all intelligence agencies onto a common platform but was never implemented.
There is clearly a lack of government capacity in Islamabad to take on all the onerous parts of the plan.
Instead of encouraging and helping civilians to build capacity, the army's response has been to take on more and more tasks itself - which is becoming untenable as it is over-stretched.

Major militant attacks have been reduced from dozens every month in 2014 to no more than one or two a month this year. Clearly, the army offensive in the tribal regions which resulted in insurgents being killed or escaping to Afghanistan has had a major positive effect.
In Karachi the clean-up of militants, political party-based militias and extortion gangs has also been positive with citizens reporting the first peace in the city for many years.
Sectarian attacks on the minority Shia population were also reduced after the 29 July "encounter" killing by the police in Punjab of Malik Ishaq, the leader of the anti-Shia Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group and his two sons.
Ishaq was on a US list of global "terrorists". However, minorities such as Shias, Ahmedis and non-Muslims like Christians continue to be attacked with impunity.
Nevertheless, the army offensives have so far been selective - aiming at Balochistan where separatist rebels have been attacked and also a political peace offensive launched; KP province and tribal regions where the Pakistani Taliban have been targeted; and Karachi where a variety of ideological groups and mafias have been targeted.
However, apart from the killing of Malik Ishaq, groups in Punjab have been left untouched. These include the largest extremist group in the country, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has gone through several name changes and now ostensibly carries out charity work.
Up to 70 groups are active in Punjab - many of them directed at India and trying to wrest the Indian part of Kashmir from Delhi's control.
The US and Western nations have expressed growing concern that with the large number of small tactical nuclear weapons now being deployed in Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, the Punjab-based groups which have close links to the military could get their hands on them.
The army has reassured the Americans that all security measures are being taken. It has also loudly hinted that a clean-up in Punjab will take place once other areas are settled.
The European Union and Pakistani human rights groups have been deeply perturbed at the number of executions in Pakistan.
After the Peshawar school attack the seven-year moratorium on executions was lifted and this year more than 300 people have received capital punishment. The vast majority were those not convicted of terrorism.
Pakistan has over 6,000 prisoners awaiting execution - one of the largest number of inmates on death row in the world.
The government's failure to address the long-running failures in an over-crowded legal system has created a dependency on death sentences, often with poor evidence or none at all.
Anti-terrorism military courts were established in 2015, but they remain highly controversial.
A better path would be for the government to improve the legal system and modernise the police. However with some 20-25% of the national budget going on the military, there is little room for more for the police.
Civilian-military tensions remain, but at times are lessened largely due to the government stepping back and accepting demands by the army.
The government has come under criticism for not standing up to the army, but also praised for not seeking a confrontation with it.
However this is a dangerous situation for the future as the army extends its writ not only in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism, but also in the legal system, monitoring and controlling the media, influencing the appointment of key officials as well as determining the country's foreign and security policy.
So the year 2016 also promises to be a make-or-break year.
The civilian government has to address its incapacity in key areas of governance.
For example some 1.2 million internally displaced persons still have to be rehabilitated in KP province and the tribal regions.
This task should be undertaken by the civilians, but the army has already started the process.
An improvement of the legal and police system and the need to build up Nacta by civilians are all of the utmost importance.
The army needs to help civilians build capacity while becoming more transparent and inclusive in foreign policy and in national security decisions it takes.
The civilian side needs to be more assertive in taking decisions and implementing promises.
Pakistan is still not out of the woods as far as terrorism is concerned and the new year will demonstrate whether the leadership has the will to improve the situation.

On Monday, conservation workers pierced the bodies to release gas built up during decomposition, following warnings the carcasses might explode.
It is not clear why the whales continue to arrive on the beach.
"It has been decided it is more suitable to take the dead whales out of the area that is open for public walking access," New Zealand's department of conservation said on its website.
Last week, more than 400 whales arrived on the 5km-long (three mile-long) stretch next to Golden Bay, in one of the worst beaching incidents in New Zealand's history. Most of the them died, while some were successfully floated back out to the sea by conservations officials and volunteers.
Since then, more whales have also come ashore, including more than 200 on Saturday, who later mostly refloated on a high tide and returned to sea.
But Department of Conservation spokeswoman Trish Grant told the BBC that that group was still swimming worryingly close to shore.
"We have staff in a boat offshore because there is a risk they could re-strand," she said.
Stressing the difficulty of preventing whales from stranding themselves, she added that "if they start to move towards shore... sometimes we can get people in the water to try and deter them".
New Zealand has one of the highest stranding rates in the world. About 300 dolphins and whales end up on beaches in the country every year, according to Project Jonah.
Many of these incidents happen at Farewell Spit. In February 2015 about 200 whales beached themselves at the same location, of which at least half died.
But in the aftermath of a bitterly contested presidential election, the rifts laid bare by that campaign have refused to close - one nation under God, perhaps, but one riven with division.
And it is not only adults who have noticed.
Children across America have been writing letters to President-elect Donald Trump calling for kindness, compassion and unity.
Molly Spence Sahebjami, a mother from Seattle, started the campaign with a Facebook group. Launched the day after Mr Trump's victory, the private group's membership has now swelled to more than 10,000.
The idea was sparked following a conversation with her own young son, a kindergarten student, she told the Washington Post.
After her son expressed concern about some of the comments Trump has made about Muslims - Molly and her family have relatives of Iranian descent - she encouraged him to write to the President-elect.
"Why don't you talk to him about why it's important to be kind?" the Washington Post reports her as asking him.
Now, children from across the world have followed suit and their parents have been sharing the images on social media using the hashtag #KidsLettersToTrump.
Alison and her son Tommy, 9, followed the election closely from the UK.
"We encourage him to make up his own mind about things," Alison told the BBC.
"As a thoughtful, kind young boy he has been upset by some of the language and views he has heard during the election.
"His letter is in his own words and the drawing his own expression of what he hopes from his new president."
Lara and her family live in Texas. Her 13-year-old daughter decided to write a letter to Mr Trump the day after his election.
"She had a lot of questions about why someone would vote for him despite how he spoke about women, minorities and the disabled," Lara said.
"I didn't have a lot of answers for that question other than to say that people felt strongly that he would do a better job running the country.
"I tried to explain to her that just because we had different opinions about how to run the country did not mean that we did not support the country and wish him success.
"I suggested that she write down her feelings. She chose to put them in a letter and she blew me away."
Campaign organiser Molly said: "I set up the page because where I live, and among many of my Facebook friends from across the country, there's a very prevalent feeling among kids that Trump is 'the mean man' and they were confused about why he won."
She hopes that children from all sides of the political spectrum will write positive letters to Mr Trump.
"We're also encouraging kids who are Trump supporters to submit letters if they'd like to congratulate him and give him some advice about being more kind. Nobody's perfect and I think that aside from politics and policies, we can all agree that our new President-elect needs to be a little more kind and respectful at a basic human level," she added.

Malcolm Webster, 51, denies killing his wife Claire Morris in 1994 by crashing their car and setting it on fire.
Forensic fire investigator Andrew Wade said it almost certainly started in the engine compartment and there was strong support for considering it deliberate.
He highlighted the time it took the fire to start, petrol canisters in the car, and inactivity of the passenger.
In a report, Mr Wade said, in his opinion, if the fire had been caused by an electrical fault it would not have taken so long for it to break out.
Mr Wade said that in view of that delay, fuel canisters in the car and the inactivity of Ms Morris in the passenger seat, he concluded: "This provides strong support for considering this to be a deliberate fire."
He told the court: "By process of elimination this seems the most probable cause having examined all the possibilities."
Mr Webster, from Guildford, Surrey, is accused of killing his 32-year-old first wife Ms Morris by drugging her, crashing their car in Aberdeenshire and setting it alight on 27 or 28 May 1994.
He also denies fraudulently obtaining more than £200,000 after cashing in insurance policies following Ms Morris's death.
As part of his evidence, Mr Wade told the court that as Mr Webster's Diahatsu was angled down a bank the flames would probably have spread up from the engine compartment into the passenger compartment.
The court heard that Ms Morris appeared not to have moved from her reclined position in the passenger seat.
Mr Wade said: "She appears to have been unaware of the fire."
Under cross-examination by defence QC Edgar Prais, who accused him of not doing his job properly, Mr Wade admitted that there were difficulties with examining a fatal car crash fire from so many years ago.
Mr Wade said that he would have preferred more photographs and agreed his conclusions depended on the accuracy of statements given by witnesses at the crash scene.
Although he agreed that "rare things do occur", he said an electrical fault was not impossible, but highly unlikely.
In addition, Mr Webster is charged with deliberately crashing his car in Auckland, New Zealand, in February 1999 in a bid to kill his second wife, Felicity Drumm, who was a passenger.
It is also alleged that he intended to bigamously marry Simone Banarjee, from Oban, Argyll, to gain access to her estate.
It is claimed he told her he was terminally ill with leukaemia when he was actually in good health.
The trial, before judge Lord Bannatyne, continues.
The free-flow Dart Charge replaced toll booths on the Kent side a year ago.
Figures showed that out of nearly 42 million chargeable journeys, UK drivers had about 1.5 million penalty notices and foreign drivers more than 340,000.
The AA said the system still had faults, but Highways England said there was still more work to do.
Edmund King, from the AA motoring organisation, said: "We still think it could be even better if they scrap the tolls altogether.
"You get some other drivers who hesitate around the crossing because they're a little unsure about how they pay, when they should pay, what hours apply, and even the signs aren't clear."
The Freedom of Information request submitted by the BBC showed that 41,367,973 chargeable journeys were recorded, 1,519,162 penalty charge notices were issued to UK drivers and 340,861 to overseas drivers.
Under the Dart Charge, the penalty fine is £70, which is reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days, but increased to £105 if a driver does not pay.
Dart Charge project director Nigel Gray said the scheme had successfully sped up journeys, with peak-time return trips now 15 minutes shorter, and hundreds of thousands of drivers had also benefitted from discounts of up to a third.
He said more work had to be done on improving traffic flow on the Kent side, but the Dart Charge was a medium-term solution to congestion at Dartford, while the long-term answer was a third Lower Thames Crossing.
He said: "Figures show that the vast majority of people are paying their Dart Charge on time and non-payment is being followed up appropriately.
"The first penalty issued for any vehicle includes an offer to pay any outstanding crossing charges within 14 days and have the penalty or penalties cancelled. This approach has been very successful and we have no plans to end it."
Hundreds of Venezuelans have been crossing into Colombia to buy products that are scarce in their country.
President Maduro had closed the border at the same time as announcing the withdrawal of the country's highest denomination bank note.
He has accused criminal gangs of hoarding vast amounts of cash.
Products subsidised by Venezuela's socialist government, including petrol, sugar and flour, can also end up being sold on the Colombian side of the border at much higher prices.
President Maduro and his Colombian counterpart, Juan Manuel Santos, agreed to the gradual reopening in a phone call on Monday.
Up to 2,000 people are expected to cross from Venezuela into Colombia on the first day, according to Colombian RCN radio.
"When I heard the news, I decided to come to the border crossing very early," Carolina Correa told RCN in the Venezuelan border city of Cucuta.
"I need rice, sugar, a new pot and other ingredients for the Christmas meal, as well as medication for my mother," she added.
Mr Maduro had argued the withdrawal of the 100-bolivar bill was vital to tackle "mafias" attempting to destroy the country.
But the measure sparked chaos, with protests and long queues forming outside bank branches.
The government was eventually forced to postpone the deadline for exchanging the notes until 2 January.
Venezuela is facing a major economic crisis, which the opposition blames on the mistaken policies of its socialist government.
ZMapp was first given earlier this month to two US aid workers, who were flown home for treatment from Liberia.
Ebola has no cure but the World Health Organization (WHO) has ruled that untested drugs can be used in light of the scale of outbreak in West Africa.
Since the beginning of the year, 1,229 people have died of the virus.
It is transmitted by direct contact with the body fluids of an infected person. Initial flu-like symptoms can lead to external haemorrhaging from areas such as eyes and gums, and internal bleeding which can cause organ failure.
The outbreak began in Guinea and has since spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
Health officials in Guinea say the country has suffered a setback in its fight against the epidemic, seeing a resurgence of cases in the town of Macenta.
The BBC's Alhassan Sillah in Guinea says the town had not had any cases for two months, and the authorities had dismantled all Ebola facilities in that area.
Fighting the myths and fear surrounding Ebola is as tough as fighting the disease itself. They range from the bizarre to the ridiculous: Some see it as the culmination of some bio warfare gone awry; others say it is a cannibalistic ritual.
In the latest flashpoint - some people in Lunsar, about 120km (74 miles) east of the capital, Freetown, say the new cases are not Ebola patients at all. In fact, they insist that witches are flying around the country in aircraft and one of these crashed causing casualties.
All this, and the notion that an Ebola patient cannot recover, have led many sick people to stay at home, hoping they have something else. This is despite the fact that about 30% of patients have recovered.
The authorities have been encouraging those who become ill to report to hospitals for testing and treatment, if needed. But as the messengers are distrusted, the message is not getting through.
The health authorities believe that Guineans returning from neighbouring Liberia are carrying the virus.
In Liberia, Information Minister Lewis Brown said the government only received a small number of ZMapp doses and gave them to one Nigerian and two Liberian doctors who had caught Ebola whilst helping save the lives of other victims of the virus.
Two US missionaries who received doses of the medicine are also reportedly recovering, but a 75-year-old Spanish priest who contracted Ebola in Liberia died in Spain last week despite being given the drug.
The US pharmaceutical company that makes the drug says it has for now run out of it, so the only way to stop the current outbreak is to isolate the victims and those who have come into contact with them.
Mr Brown also said 17 suspected Ebola patients who went missing after a health centre in the capital was attacked have been found.
In Nigeria, which has had four fatal Ebola cases, health officials say five people have now recovered from the virus and have been discharged from hospital in Lagos. Another three are still being treated.
Since the outbreak spread to Nigeria in July, when a person infected with Ebola flew from Liberia to Lagos, several airlines have stopped flights to the worst-affected countries.
Kenya's ban on people from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone entering the East African nation comes into force on Wednesday - and Cameroon has closed its land, sea and air borders with Nigeria.
Alongside Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Mr Cameron said the further powers were a "clearer, stronger, fairer" deal.
They include guaranteed minimum funding for the Welsh government, control of fracking and more energy projects.
First Minister Carwyn Jones claimed the funding pledge was a "vague promise".
Welsh ministers must agree before a referendum can go ahead.
Mr Cameron said the referendum "should go ahead and I would advise people to vote yes".
He rejected the idea that devolving £6bn of NHS spending to Greater Manchester meant a Welsh referendum on income tax powers was no longer necessary.
The proposals - called Powers for a Purpose - unveiled on Friday follow months of cross-party talks.
They would allow ministers in Wales to raise cash from the money markets for major projects and give the Welsh assembly control of its own elections.
It is understood UK ministers had insisted the minimum funding pledge would be in return for Welsh ministers triggering a referendum to transfer some income tax powers to Wales.
But the wording has been changed to say the "agreement is in the expectation" of such a poll being held, following objections from Labour Welsh ministers and Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams.
Mr Cameron said: "Today's agreement paves the way for a referendum, that could deliver an assembly that's not just a spending body but is actually responsible for raising more of its revenue too.
"And to me that is responsible devolution, that is real devolution and I think that is vital for Wales and for the United Kingdom."
Powers to set national speed limits across Wales are also proposed, together with a promise to consider the merits of devolving Air Passenger Duty and the option of changing the assembly's name to Welsh Parliament.
With the general election just 10 weeks away, voters will determine which of the political parties will be in a position to take forward the plans after 7 May.
The Conservatives have been hoping that this package will put to bed once and for all many of the debates surrounding the constitution.
That was always going to be unrealistic when you have such diverse attitudes among the parties, and you're so close to a general election.
As a result there was no agreement on many of the big issues such as welfare, policing, criminal justice, air passenger duty and teachers' pay and conditions.
Stephen Crabb believes he's managed to turn the levers of government departments in Whitehall, like the Treasury, in a way no-one has done in recent years.
Others say it's a list of the lowest common denominators that will be surpassed by different ambitions if a new government is elected in May.
As one party insider told me, it has at the very least flushed people out on where they stand on devolution.

Mr Clegg said the package "increases the devolved powers at Wales' disposal in important areas such as energy, transport and the environment.
"It paves the way for a stronger, more autonomous assembly, giving Wales more control over its own affairs and it starts the process of delivering fair funding for Wales."
But business leaders voiced concerns the transfer of new powers to Wales was being rushed, with a risk of "devolution by deadline".
CBI Wales director Emma Watkins warned: "Businesses need to know how any new powers are going to be used to best effect - to promote growth in Wales and help the private sector thrive - without creating undue complexity and cost for the thousands of businesses operating across borders."
First Minister Carwyn Jones rejected calls for a referendum on income tax powers, saying there was still "no real commitment" from the UK government on tackling what he called the "underfunding" of Wales.
He said there had been "some welcome progress on certain areas" but the proposals "fall short in crucial areas" such as policing.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood agreed that the new package stood in "stark contrast" to reforms being offered to Scotland.
"Wales has been left behind and that has to end, and this is a missed opportunity in that respect," she told BBC Radio Four's Today programme earlier.
But it is not just members of the LGBT community flying the rainbow flag, as more businesses than ever are supporting the fight for equality.
With almost 50 official partners, ranging from airlines to mobile networks, and a list of over 60 supporters, companies are signing up to try to stamp out prejudice.
But why are firms joining the fight for inclusion? And does the event risk becoming too commercial?
Polly Shute, director of development and partnerships for Pride in London, said it will be a record-breaking year for the event, with more than 26,500 people expected to take part.
And the number of corporate backers has mirrored the marchers' rise.
But what does Polly think is the attraction for companies to get involved?
"From their point of view, it is a message both internally and externally," she said.
"[Some] don't have a product to sell, but they support us because they want to promote inclusion in the workplace.
"Of course, it also shows external customers that a business supports the cause, but a number of these companies are already involved in charities promoting inclusion and equality, so it is a natural step."
Polly believes it also reflects a wider push for diversity in the workplace.
"It is part of a growing movement about people being able to be who they are at work, which improves things for the business and for the communities," she said.
"A lot of people who are members of the LGBT community have also risen up the ranks and they have gone through periods where they have not felt able to come out - so they want to fight this cause for their workforce."
Barclays is the headline sponsor of Pride in London for the fourth year running and believes the event is an important part of connecting with staff and customers.
Michael Roemer, Barclays' global LGBT lead and group chief compliance officer, said: "We want our colleagues, customers and clients to feel free to express who they are at all times.
"We've made great strides internally in creating an inclusive global workplace, but we want to go further.
"By supporting Pride in London, we're saying 'this is who we are' and we want to encourage everyone else to be able to say who they are, without fear."
Tesco is another sponsor keen to support the people that work there.
John Dickinson, Out at Tesco chairman, said: "Pride in London is such a fun and vibrant event and that's why we're proud to be an official sponsor again this year.
"Over 300 of our colleagues are expected to take part in the parade and 13 stores along the route will enter into the Pride spirit with special Pride-themed signs, bunting and carrier bags."
And Transport for London (TfL) is getting in the mood by decorating its Tube stations, bus stops and bikes for the event.
However, it is also a chance to promote diversity for the city it represents.
Ben Lyon, chairman of OUTbound - TfL's LGBT staff network - said: "The capital is one of the most diverse cities in the world and we are extremely proud to be part of the message to the world that, whatever your sexual orientation, London is open and welcomes you."
But what about the LGBT community? Does it welcome this corporate edge?
Jade Knight, from Nottingham, believes "commercial and mainstream is where Pride needs to be".
The 44-year-old, who has attended Pride events around the country for the past five years, said: "We want to get to the point where LGBT identities are no longer a subculture, but as acceptable on the mainstream as being cisgender and heterosexual.
"The first Prides were riots, then political protests, then a celebration of mainly gay male subculture. Pride has evolved. It's not enough for it just to be LGBT people by themselves."
But she believes the companies need to put money where their mouths are.
"Pride is just the promise," added Jade.
"They need to show up for their LGBT staff and customers all the other days of the year as well, or it means nothing."
Scott Williams, 40, from Bromley, London, has been going to the Pride event in London since 1997 and is more concerned about the direction.
"It is a good thing and a bad thing," he said.
"It allows Pride to happen as these companies contribute to the cost of running the parade and the event. Also, it's good to see companies supporting their LGBT staff.
"But the last two marches I have been to, instead of it being what the original spirit of Pride was - a protest for equal rights and standing up to show visibility - it feels like a big advertisement targeting the LGBT community."
Tilly Williams has been going to Pride in London for eight years and thinks a balance is needed.
The 26-year-old from Camberwell, London, said: "I believe lots of brands are just using it for good publicity, rather than out of any sense of social justice, which isn't ideal.
"But I think anything that increases wider society's acceptance of LGBT issues is inherently good.
"I would like to make sure those brands are supportive of LGBT rights outside of just the Pride festival though, making sure they are tough on discrimination within their company and visibly opposing anti-gay policies."
Pride in London's Polly Shute said: "I understand the concerns, but we are one of the few free Pride events.
"We want to stay that way to be as inclusive as possible, but somebody has to pay for it.
"These companies represent so many people - it is important that they support those communities at work.
"And whilst the corporate sponsors may be more visible, over 60% of those marching are not-for-profit charities or community groups.
"By bringing corporates in, we keep a free Pride and it means those groups can campaign or celebrate."
Natasha Scott, who will be marching with the gay and lesbian association of doctors and dentists on Saturday, agrees.
The 36-year-old from, Finsbury Park, London, said: "Pride, for me, is about acceptance and inclusivity - one day in the year where you genuinely don't have to worry about being yourself.
"Unfortunately to organise such a huge event in London these days costs money, and corporate sponsorship becomes necessary.
"Is it ideal? No. But if it allows Pride to continue reaching out and celebrating then I think it's worth it."
Officers responded to a report of an armed robbery of $10 in Columbus when they saw three male suspects matching descriptions given by the victim.
Two then ran off and were followed by police to an alley.
There, police say, Tyree King pulled out the gun and was shot multiple times by a white officer.
Police later established that the boy had actually been carrying a BB gun - a type of sporting air gun that is designed to shoot pellets - with an attached laser sight.
The victim of the robbery told officers the group had approached him and demanded money. One of them reportedly had a gun.
After the shooting, Tyree King was taken to a children's hospital, where he later died.
The other suspect found with him in the alley was questioned and released pending further investigation.
More suspects are being pursued, police say.
In a 911 call recorded during the incident, obtained by The Columbus Dispatch, the alleged victim said the amount involved in the robbery was just $10 (£7.55).
Minutes later in the call, sirens can be heard in the background before a witness says "he's shooting him! Oh, my God!'"
In a press conference on Thursday morning, Chief of Police Kim Jacobs showed reporters a photo of the kind of BB gun found at the scene.
"Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon," she said, holding the printed image up for cameras. "It turned out not to be a firearm in the sense that it fires real bullets but as you can see, it looks like a firearm that could kill you."
Columbus police said the officer involved, a nine-year veteran of the service named Brian Mason, would receive mandated psychological counselling and would be offered leave to help cope with the "traumatic experience".
Police chief Jacobs said Mr Mason had "just recently transferred to that area of town."
Social media users are comparing Tyree King's death to the shooting of another black child in the state.
In 2014, Tamir Rice, 12, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Cleveland while he was playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation centre.
The city agreed earlier this year to pay $6m (£4.14m) to his family.
His death sparked local protests at a time when the deaths of black people at the hands of police had sparked a national debate.
Asked about the comparisons being made by members of the public, Police Chief Jacobs said: "I don't know how they would know that. We don't have enough facts to know how this relates to any other shooting."
She said the investigation, once complete, would be referred to a grand jury, who would decide if any criminal charges should be brought.
City mayor Andrew Ginther appealed for patience during this "difficult time".
"It is a dangerous time to be a police officer in this country," he said. "It is our job to support them, as well as the people they protect."
"It is critical that we remain calm and committed to the investigative process."
Both the mayor and police committed to sharing information from the investigation publicly as it became available.
Like much received wisdom, it may just be wrong. For the arrival of this young financier-turned politician in the Elysee could actually make a deal between Britain and the European Union easier.
Yes, President Macron is a devoted pro-European. His belief in the idea and the institutions of the EU is part of his core.
In his election manifesto, he described Brexit as a "crime" that will plunge Britain into "servitude".
As such, he will brook no Brexit-induced dilution of the single market and all its works.
After he met the prime minister in February, he told reporters in Downing Street: "Brexit cannot lead to a kind of optimisation of Britain's relationship with the rest of Europe. I am very determined that there will be no undue advantages."
Macron will thus, so the argument goes, stiffen sinews in Brussels and re-invigorate the Franco-German motor that has lain dormant in recent years. He has made utterly clear that he wants Britain to pay top whack when it exits the EU.
He has spoken of reforming the Le Touquet agreement that allows British immigration officers to check passports in Calais. And he has been shameless in his ambition to lure French workers and money back to France.
So Macron on paper could look like no friend of Britain in the Brexit stakes.
And yet his election is actually better news for Theresa May than she might imagine.
Some Conservative ministers had been quite open in their preference for Francois Fillon, the former centre-right candidate with whom they had more natural, partisan commonalities. But they know they can live with Macron.
The new president is not going to be as Brexit obsessed as some imagine. He has other fish to fry.
He has to build support and coalitions in the National Assembly where polls suggest his new party may struggle to form a majority in next month's elections.
He has huge economic problems to deal with at home. And his efforts in Brussels will be focused on gaining support for his own proposals to reform the EU and the eurozone.
Brexit is just one issue on his to-do list. His priority is dealing with France's difficulties and stopping Marine Le Pen winning in 2022.
Now, of course, when President Macron does focus on Brexit, he will naturally be tough on Britain. But that is already the position of the French government. Whitehall has long ruled out any favours from Paris. In many ways, Macron represents continuity.
And just think of the alternative. If Marine Le Pen had won, the EU would be in chaos.
Her election would have been seen by some as an existential threat to the EU. Brexit would have become a second order issue.
EU politicians would have had less bandwidth to spend on Brexit. And as such, a deal would have been less likely, or at the very least much harder. Compare that to the stability that a Macron presidency may provide.
For here is the real point. The election of Macron may just make the EU a little more confident or perhaps a little less defensive. Many in the EU will conclude - maybe over-optimistically - that the global populist surge has now peaked with Trump and Brexit.
The electoral failure of anti-establishment politicians in Austria, the Netherlands and now France will give them hope that the troubled EU project is not quite so threatened as they had imagined.
They may feel a little less fearful that Brexit could presage the breakup of the EU. And a less vulnerable EU may feel less determined to make an example of Britain in the negotiations. And that can only be good for Brexit, however hard or soft you want it.
So the election of President Macron will of course send shivers of relief through the corridors of Brussels. But it won't make the challenge of Brexit any more enormous than it already is.
And just perhaps, it might make the task a little easier.
The Foxes - seven points off safety - barely troubled Hull, who were reduced to 10 men in the 72nd minute when Tom Huddlestone was shown a second yellow.
The best chances fell to Hull striker Nikica Jelavic, who headed over from six yards and scuffed a shot from a similar distance.
Abel Hernandez also had a fierce shot saved by Foxes keeper Mark Schwarzer.
Media playback is not supported on this device
That chance came in the closing minutes when the Tigers were down to 10 men after Huddlestone was dismissed by referee Jon Moss for a foul on Jamie Vardy.
It did not change the complexion of the match as Hull continued to look comfortable at the back thanks to the leadership and organisation of centre-back Michael Dawson.
His backline and the rest of the team look far more assured than they did back in December when they were in 19th place - two wins and only one defeat in their last six games suggest they have turned a corner.
They had only conceded four goals in the previous five, and against a Foxes side who had managed a mere four goals in their last six league outings, the likelihood was that Hull would improve upon that stat.
The only time they looked like conceding was when Leicester striker Andrej Kramaric failed by a fraction to get his boot on the end of a Riyad Mahrez cross in the first half.
Media playback is not supported on this device
They also created chances of their own, with top scorer Jelavic twice going close.
Hull's top scorer this season should have done better with his first opportunity, when he failed to get a good connection on a lay-off from Ahmed Elmohamady, and after the break when he headed over from close range.
The Croat did manage to put the ball in the net but Foxes keeper Schwarzer was judged to have been fouled by striker Dame N'Doye in the lead-up. Substitute Abel Hernandez also forced a good low save from Schwarzer with just a few minutes remaining.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said this was a must-win game for his side. That chance has now gone - they cannot afford many more slip-ups.
Hull manager Steve Bruce:
"I've got no problem with Huddlestone's two yellow cards, but is every challenge now a yellow if you mis-time it?
"It got a bit angry towards the end, but for me the referee booked my two centre-backs for (fair) challenges.
"There's a raging debate about Chelsea in midweek and if we're not careful...I saw everyone surround Alex for a red card for his challenge.
"There wasn't a nasty challenge in the game yet we've had five yellow cards and a sending off. I never saw that coming."
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson:
"We've got 10 games left, six at home and we probably need to win five. Today's game shows how tough it can be.
"We are in the same sort of position as before. We have six games at home so our home form has to be drastically improved to give us the best chance.
"Today I think the players expected to get three points, so it is disappointing to come away with one.
"To get the three we needed to be more committed to our attacking play."
A fishing vessel contacted the UK Coastguard just after 07:00 BST on Thursday saying they had seen a body in the water just outside Aberystwyth Harbour.
Police, the ambulance service, the RNLI and the lifeboat all attended and the body was brought to shore.
Dyfed-Powys Police is making enquiries to identify the man.
Police said the discovery was not related to an incident on Wednesday when a man died after an empty speedboat was spotted circling in the harbour.
The former Crewe player, who was out of contract with Argyle after making 93 appearances, has agreed a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
The 25-year-old told Blackpool's website: "I can't wait to get started now. I hope to bring a lot of energy and determination to the team.
"I love to win so let's make that happen. Hopefully we can do something this season."

Councillor Gill Mitchell said the closure of Eaton Place Surgery will affect care and called on NHS England to open new premises in the area.
NHS England said Ms Mitchell was wrong and 15 other local surgeries were "ready to welcome patients".
The surgery is due to shut when the practice's two partners retire.
Patients registered at the surgery are worried about having to travel further to find a new GP, according to Ms Mitchell.
"They would like a GP practice in their neighbourhood in Kemptown and that really is not too much to ask", she said.
Local MP Simon Kirby has also written to NHS England to voice concerns about the closure of the surgery, which is based in a district of Brighton.
A spokeswoman for NHS England said it had addressed the points made by Mr Kirby and was working to help those patients affected.
"The only way we can guarantee patients continued access to care after this date is to ask them to re-register with one of the 15 other surgeries located nearest to Eaton Place Surgery," she said.
She added that the 15 surgeries had the capacity to take on all patients affected by the closure and six of them were based within a mile of Eaton Place.
However, Dr Richard Vautrey from the British Medical Association (BMA) warned that the closure will increase pressure on surgeries in the area.
"Those practices will end up picking up more patients and they will not necessarily have the resources to be able to take on more GPs", he said.
Patients registered with Eaton Place Surgery are due to receive a letter from NHS England with further information about registering with a new doctor.
The analysis of 5,700 elderly men in Norway showed those doing three hours of exercise a week lived around five years longer than the sedentary.
The authors, writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, called for campaigns to encourage fitness in older people.
The study comes as a charity warns about low levels of exercise.
In the study - conducted by Oslo University Hospital - found both light and vigorous exercise extended life expectancy.
Official advice in the UK recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week in the over-65s.
The trial tracking 68 to 77 year olds found that doing less than an hour a week of light exercise had no impact.
But overall those putting in the equivalent of six, 30-minute sessions of any intensity, were 40% less likely to have died during the 11-year study.
The report said: "Even when men were 73 years of age on average at start of follow-up, active persons had five years longer expected lifetime than the sedentary."
It added that physical activity was as "beneficial as smoking cessation" at reducing deaths.
"Public health strategies in elderly men should include efforts to increase physical activity in line with efforts to reduce smoking behaviour."
The report did not look at how active people were earlier in their lives.
However, the study comes as the British Heart Foundation publishes a report warning people are getting too little exercise.
Its analysis shows that the percentage of adults doing no moderate exercise is:
Julie Ward, from the charity, said: "Regular physical activity, whatever your age, is beneficial for your heart health and ultimately can help you live longer.
"However, our latest statistics show that nearly half of people in the UK do no moderate exercise whatsoever - a rate higher than many European countries.
"Our message is that every 10 minutes counts and that making simple, more active changes to your daily routine can set you on a path to improved heart health."
After defeating fellow Valencia side Benicalap C on 3 June, Serranos B's under-11 manager was removed from his position.
"We believe in encouraging respect for your opponents. After the result, we decided that the manager should leave," Pablo Alcaide, who helps run the side, told El Pais.
However, the Spanish newspaper also published comments from the manager's lawyer, who insisted his client had not pushed players to score as many as they could.
The manager instead instructed his side "to pressure only in their own half" in the eight-a-side game, but Benicalap C "continued to attack and left spaces in behind", the lawyer said.
The game was Benicalap C's final match of the season. They finished bottom of the league with zero points and 247 goals conceded from their 30 matches.
El Pais reports that such one-sided scores are not infrequent in Spanish youth football, but many clubs stop counting once they have scored more than 10 goals.
The English FA's latest guidance to youth coaches, published in 2012, is designed to "challenge the win-at-all-costs mentality that is stifling development and enjoyment for young people".
The fire at the woman's home, in Rosapenna Parade, was reported to police at about midday on Thursday.
Neighbours tried to break into the house when they saw smoke, but were not able to help the pensioner.
The body of the victim, believed to be in her 80s, was found on the ground floor of the property after the fire.
Residents in the street were visibly upset by her death. They told the BBC that the woman was well known in the area, having lived in the house for many years.
The victim's name has not been released as she still has to be formally identified.
Police said they are investigating the cause of the fire but early indications are that it was accidental.
The semi-detached house was badly damaged by the blaze.
Nicola Brown, 43, from Portsmouth, was also found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to her son, Jake.
His father, Jason Brown, 44, was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Winchester Crown Court was told Jake had previously suffered 17 broken ribs.
As the verdicts were delivered, Nicola Brown shouted: "I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
Jurors heard how Jake died on 19 December 2014 due to "an impact to the head requiring substantial force".
The court was played a 999 call made by Brown, in which she said he had stopped breathing while she was feeding him.
She told the operator he had fallen out of his Moses basket the day before.
The broken ribs had been caused by an adult squeezing him, the court was told.
Brown had not informed her doctor she was expecting Jake and social services were alerted to the "concealed pregnancy".
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Jake had been born in "unusual circumstances" at the couple's former home in Agincourt Road.
He said: "He arrived into this world by falling into and being caught by the pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms of Nicola Brown."
He said Brown, later of Seymour Road, had a "short fuse" and her attack on Jake was motivated by "anger".
Det Supt Scott MacKechnie said: "The treatment of newborn Jake by his own mother is very upsetting and shocking.
"This has been a complex investigation piecing together evidence of what occurred during Jake's 19 days of life, to establish how he died and who was responsible."
Portsmouth Safeguarding Children's Board confirmed a serious case review would be held into Jake's death.
Sentencing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

James Grant of Grant founded Grantown on Spey around the manufacture of linen 250 years ago.
On 14 May, residents and visitors will be asked to fill socks and stockings with donations. The footwear will then by hung on washing lines in the town.
The money will help to fund Grantown 250 anniversary celebrations.
A festival is to be held in the town, near Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, in June.
Celebrations were held last summer to mark the laying of the first foundation stones of Grantown on Spey in 1765.
They included a picnic which involved foods eaten by poor and rich people in the 18th Century.
Picnickers were offered the chance to "lunch like a laird or picnic like a pauper".
Torin and Jacques Lakeman, aged 19 and 20, both attended Castle Rushen High School, in the south of the island.
The pair were found in a room above The Grapes in Stoneclough, Bolton, at 14:00 GMT on Monday.
A school spokesman said staff and pupils were "deeply shocked and saddened" to hear of the deaths of two "lively and talented" ex-students.
Greater Manchester Police said: "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths".
However Aberystwyth University, where Torin was in his second-year, has emailed its students to pass on a warning from Dyfed-Powys Police about a "new strain" of the drug MDMA - also known as ecstasy.
Jacques Lakeman, who was a Castle Rushen student between 2005 and 2010, was described by his teachers as "as an intelligent and talented student who had a wicked sense of humour and a talent for playing the guitar".
He had recently left the Isle of Man to live in the UK.
The younger of the two brothers, Torin, attended the school between 2006 and 2013.
He was described as a "lively and popular student" who was "an eminently talented public speaker and a Corporal in the Isle of Man Combined Cadet Force (CCF)".
Torin was studying Physics with Planetary and Space Physics at Aberystwyth.
Chairman King also claimed Warburton had previously told him he was using the Ibrox outfit as a "stepping-stone".
And he insisted Warburton "did not respond well" to questions over his transfer policy.
Rangers said on Friday Warburton had resigned, but he insisted he had not.
Despite the disappointment of the team's performances this season and Warburton's dramatic departure, King insists the club's "bigger project remains firmly on track".
Under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take charge of Rangers' first team against Greenock Morton in Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth-round tie.
In a lengthy statement, South Africa-based businessman King indicated the club has already benefitted from around £18m of the £30m he had promised would be invested.
And he added that more than that amount may be needed to make Rangers competitive at the top of Scottish football.
Former Brentford manager Warburton and assistant David Weir - a former Rangers captain - were appointed at the beginning of last season and led the club to Scottish Championship title success and victory in the Challenge Cup final.
Rangers also beat Celtic on penalties in the Scottish Cup semi-final last season but lost the final to Hibernian.
"The season was an unqualified success and the management team was rewarded with a vastly improved contract," said King.
However, last week's 1-1 draw with Ross County left third-placed Rangers 27 points behind Premiership leaders Celtic.
King highlighted Rangers' aim to qualify for European competition at the end of the current campaign, saying: "Our realistic expectation was to come second.
"This season, we did not stick to our plan of signing five or six players because the manager appealed to the board for additional signings. Despite the concern about departing from our plan of prudent phased investment, the board backed the manager's request for accelerated investment.
"This placed us significantly above the football resources available to our competitors (other than Celtic) and was expected to ensure that we finished a strong second in the league and had a squad that could be added to, close season, to make a strong impact in the Europa League qualifiers.
"While I still believe that we can finish a strong second, I am stating the obvious to admit that we are not where we anticipated we would be at this stage of the season and we have not repeated the success that we had with our signings from the previous season.
"Despite the relative disappointment of this season so far, the bigger project remains firmly on track and we will take whatever corrective measures are necessary."
Warburton signed 15 players across the two transfer windows for this season.
King says he told Warburton he wished to review their signing policy and "it is clear from subsequent media comments that the manager did not respond well to the board reviewing his recruitment activity".
"I was informally approached to ask if the club would waive compensation if the management team was to leave, " said King.
"I was alert to a conversation that Mark Warburton had with me after joining the club in which he advised me that his long-term ambition was to manage in the EPL and he viewed Rangers as a stepping-stone to achieve this.
"I was therefore not surprised when the management team's agent approached the club's managing director, Stewart Robertson, to request a meeting which was held in Glasgow on Monday this week.
"The outcome of this meeting was that the agent subsequently offered that Mark, David and Frank would resign with immediate effect without compensation as long as the club, in turn, agreed to waive compensation from any new club that they signed for.
"After discussion, the board accepted this offer and employment was immediately terminated.
"While we were dealing with the admin and press releases relating to the resignation, the agent again contacted us and asked to defer the resignation until the management had secured a new club.
"I assume that the new deal had somehow collapsed at the last minute. The board met to consider this request but resolved to hold them to the original agreement.
"We are now in the process of reviewing the best interim and long-term solution for ensuring that a modern and robust footballing structure is put in place that will continue with and entrench the footballing philosophy that we have in place."
The injured man is in a critical condition in hospital after being found at about 22:50 BST on Monday in a flat in Rochester Street, Chatham.
Another man in his 60s, who police believe may be connected to the attack, was found in Pagitt Street and is being treated for a head injury.
The 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody.
A rare grey pearl necklace that once belonged to a British aristocrat sold for HK$41m ($5.3m; £3.5m).
Meanwhile, a 27.68-carat Kashmir sapphire and diamond ring, The Jewel of Kashmir, sold for HK$52.28m.
Both pieces of jewellery were bought by Hong Kong collectors on Wednesday, Sotheby's announced.
The string of pearls was part of the collection of Viscountess Cowdray, Lady Pearson, famous for her collection of art and furniture as well as jewellery.
The previous world auction record for a natural grey pearl necklace was set in London in 2012 when the Cowdray Pearls sold for $3.35m.
An SPFL commission found the club guilty of offences relating to a lack of crowd control.
The governing body has, however, delayed punishment for 18 months.
Within that time, the Fir Park club must provide evidence of how they plan to address the charges against them.
Fans invaded the pitch in the aftermath of Motherwell's 3-1 second-leg win over Rangers at Fir Park, which sealed a 6-1 aggregate win and secured the Steelmen's Premiership status.
The repercussions of that misconduct from the home fans are being felt long after the event.
The commission found the Fir Park club guilty of ticketing failures, which led to problems segregating the two sets of supporters, and inadequate stewarding as Motherwell fans invaded the pitch at full time.
A failure to take action to identify those fans and one who threw a flare has led to a further charge. It will be 18 months before any punishment is handed out.
Russell Bentley from Kent, who now lives in Beddgelert, Gwynedd, won the race in a time of 02:35:05. The women's race was won by Joanne Nelson of Darwen Dashers in a record time of 03:03:53.
The race, now in its 34th year, got under way at 10:30 BST near Llanberis, Gwynedd, and circled the foothills of Snowdon.
Mr Bentley said it was the "hardest thing I've ever done".
Among those pitting themselves against the tough course was the Bishop of Bangor, the Right Reverend Andy John.
Before the race, Bishop John said it would be "slightly more tolerable" when he thinks "something greater" may come from it.
He tackled the course for the third time to raise money for Caroline Gregory, who has volunteered at the now-cleared "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais.
With a backdrop of rugged mountains and the impossibly blue waters of Lake Van, it is a heavenly spot to hear a church Mass; and yet for the past 95 years, there had not been one, until Sunday.
Listening to the glorious sounds of the ancient Armenian liturgy in that setting was a profoundly moving experience; hundreds of Armenians had travelled, from Istanbul and also from the diaspora - from the United States, from Greece, Germany, even Armenia itself - to celebrate this symbolic reconnection with the land of their ancestors.
It was all the more moving, knowing they were praying among the ruins of the monastery - there was no room for them inside the 42-sq-m (452-sq-ft) nave of the church; the monks and priests were all killed in 1915, along with most of the population of the area.
The decision to allow the Armenian Patriarchate in Istanbul to hold a Mass there was made by the governing AKP, the party believes both in loosening restrictions on religion imposed by the secular state, and in improving relations with Turkey's minority groups.
"We believe that it is very important gesture towards freedom of faith," the provincial governor, Munir Karaoglu, told the BBC.
"Also we believe that it is important to eradicate the prejudices between the Turkish and Armenian people. It could also help improve relations Turkey and Armenia."
Those who had chosen to come saw this as a positive step by Turkey towards confronting its history in this area.
"Let's just say that this is a beginning," said Harry Parsekian, a retired estate agent from Boston, whose parents escaped the Armenian killings.
"I hope the Turkish authorities realise that this is an opening - it's just a symbolic gesture right now."
For others, coming back was difficult. Paul Shahenian had never been to Turkey before. His family came from Van, and his grandparents barely escaped the mass slaughter which began in April 1915.
"Coming here is a bittersweet experience," he said.
"My parents are dead, my grandparents are dead, and I'm left with the memory of what this place was to them. Armenians were here for three millennia. Even if the Turkish government wanted to reconcile, I don't know how they would begin. So I think this is a very good first step."
Paul said there had been strong pressure on his family not to come from the rest of the Armenian community.
Many Armenians boycotted this service, either because they do not trust a government which will not acknowledge the 1915 killings as a genocide, or over the government's refusal to hand the church back to the Armenian Patriarchate.
It is still officially a state museum, and the authorities would not allow a cross to be erected on the dome for the service.
So the numbers were smaller than expected - a few hundred, rather than the thousands the local government had been hoping to welcome.
The crush of journalists and the crowds of curious local sightseers who had been encouraged to come to the island for the occasion also robbed it of any spiritual atmosphere.
The church was built by the Armenian King Gagik in the 10th Century, and is the most complete ancient Armenian building left in Turkey.
As such it is very important to the Armenian community's sense of historical connection to this area - and that may be the reason the government is so wary of handing the church back.
Nationalists in Turkey still fear that Armenia has designs on their eastern provinces.
After all, the city of Van was briefly taken over by the Armenian community in 1915 after an armed uprising.
At the Treaty of Sevres in 1920, following the Ottoman defeat in World War I, the city was awarded to a new Armenian state.
It was only with the military successes of Turkish nationalists under Ataturk that the city reverted to Turkish rule.
"This government has been better than all the others," said Rober Koptas, editor-in-chief of Agos, the main Armenian newspaper in Istanbul.
"They renovated the church, which is great. But they must be braver. This was not enough. Most of Turkish society is ready to accept this is an Armenian church. Now it is the government's turn."
Now winless in 12 league games, Forest sit five points outside the top six.
"It makes it very hard [to reach the play-offs] - we are going to have to win all our remaining games and rely on some others losing," said Brazil.
"We've to get some pride back for ourselves and this football club."
The play-off ambitions of the 11th-placed Reds could still fade further on Monday if Reading beat already promoted Leicester to move back into the top six and open a seven-point gap to Forest.
Former Forest captain Stuart Pearce, who will take over as boss from Brazil on 1 July, was in the stands at Loftus Road to watch their latest setback.
QPR scored three goals in the last six minutes to deny the Reds a point after they twice fought back from a goal down.
"Everyone is look forward to Stuart coming in, but we don't want the season to just peter out and end without us showing some quality before we come to the end," Brazil told BBC Radio Nottingham.

Warrington's 38-10 win leaves them one point behind leaders Hull FC, who have the chance to pull three clear again when they host Catalans Dragons on Thursday.
Wakefield travel to Widnes on 21 August hoping to notch a first win since the regular season ended, but they travel with optimism after a spirited display.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester:
"We didn't get beat on effort. We caused Warrington some problems in the first 40 minutes but came up with silly errors in key parts of the game and conceded two soft tries before half-time.
"However, we gave it everything and came up short. I wanted a reaction from the Wigan performance and I got one,
"Our young kids really stood up again and James Bachelor deservedly got our man of the match. Max Jowitt probably needs a rest but with the injuries we've got at the minute we had to juggle a few things around."
Warrington head coach Tony Smith:
"It wasn't the prettiest of games and we played our part in that. There wasn't a huge crowd and there wasn't the same type of atmosphere as when we last met.
"But it was important to come and put in a solid performance. I never thought at any stage we would lose. We were never out of control. But Wakefield made it awkward for us in a few periods.
"It was a hot afternoon. I stood out in it for a few minutes and got sunburn, while they are out there whacking hell out of each other, so it was tough for them to handle those conditions."
Wakefield: Hall; Mazive, Lyne, Arundel, Jones-Bishop; Miller, Finn; Scruton, Sio, Arona, Molloy, Walton, Crowther.
Replacements: Jowitt, Yates, Batchelor, Fifita.
Warrington: Ratchford; R Evans, T King, Atkins, Russell; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Hughes, Currie, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, Westwood, G King, Wilde.
Referee: Robert Hicks.
Morata, 24, will discuss personal terms and have a medical after Real accepted an offer of about £60m for him.
Chelsea had previously tried to re-sign Romelu Lukaku, but the Belgium striker instead joined Manchester United.
"It's not the one they were left with, it's the one they wanted, absolutely," Nevin told BBC Radio 5 live.
The deal was announced a day after manager Antonio Conte signed an improved contract with the Premier League champions.
"I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most faith in me, and that's great for me," Morata told AS on Wednesday.
"It's beginning to look like Antonio Conte's Chelsea side," said Nevin.
"And because he signed this new contract, it's saying: 'I believe in this, I want to be part of this.' It didn't seem like the case a couple of months ago.
"Now, most Chelsea fans will be smiling and punching the air, much the same way that I was."
Morata would be Chelsea's fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Nevin said: "I wrote a piece on the Chelsea website about three months ago. I asked the fans: 'Who would you like most as a centre-forward?'
"There were three names that came up. Number three was Lukaku, number two was [Alexis] Sanchez, and number one? Morata."
Morata could replace Spain team-mate Diego Costa, who says he has been told by manager Antonio Conte that he is no longer in Chelsea's plans.
Morata scored 20 goals last season after rejoining Real from Juventus.
"I think he was the number one choice that Antonio Conte wanted," said Nevin.
"I am not sure what's going to be happening with Diego Costa. I think it's quite unlikely he will stay with all the noises we've been hearing.
"Chelsea need a striker who can give you 15-20 goals a season.
"Put him in a team where you've got the likes of Cesc Fabregas, the likes of Eden Hazard giving you plenty of opportunities... Morata can do that."
European football journalist Mina Rzouki on BBC Radio 5 live
If you offered me the choice between Morata and Lukaku, I wouldn't even think about it.
I would pay £20m or £30m more if I had to and I would bring in Morata.
That is because I would always prefer an intelligent player in my team. Even if he doesn't score as many goals, even if he doesn't do whatever he needs to.
If he is more intelligent then he can be moulded quicker, he can do what he needs to do. And Morata has Champions League experience. He was second top scorer for Real Madrid despite not starting.
He has done it at Juventus and he has done it at Real Madrid.
He understands, he has the pace, he is intelligent, he links up play, he can be a counter-attacking threat.

The Sheffield University team looked at how the colours are created in the blue-and-white feathers of the jay.
They found the colours come from the way the feathers are structured rather than from pigments, like in human hair.
Researchers believe the discovery could allow the creation of long-lasting coloured coatings.
The publication Nature Scientific Reports said the team studied feathers in the Natural History Museum's collection in London.
The research team found that instead of using dyes that would fade over time, the birds use well-controlled changes to the small cells to create their vividly coloured feathers, which are possibly used for jays to recognise one another.
The jay is able to pattern these different colours along an individual feather barb - the equivalent of having many different colours along a single human hair, said the scientists.
Andrew Parnell, from Sheffield University's department of physics and astronomy, said: "This discovery means that in the future, we could create long-lasting coloured coatings and materials synthetically.
"We have discovered it is the way in which it is formed and the control of this evolving nanostructure [small cells] - by adjusting the size and density of the holes in the sponge-like structure - that determines what colour is reflected.
"Current technology cannot make colour with this level of control and precision - we still use dyes and pigments.
"Now we've learnt how nature accomplishes it, we can start to develop new materials such as clothes or paints using these nano-structuring approaches.
"It would potentially mean that if we created a red jumper using this method, it would retain its colour and never fade in the wash."
In 2011, Sheffield scientists developed a material which mimics the rainbow effect of butterfly wings to help the fight against counterfeit money.
Treasury Counsel, appointed by the attorney general, said the cuts - £220m from a yearly budget of £1bn for criminal cases - were unsustainable.
The Bar Council and the Law Society also criticised the plans.
But the Ministry of Justice said savings were needed to ensure the system could help those most in need.
A final consultation on proposed cuts to legal aid in criminal work in England and Wales closed on Saturday.
Legal aid costs taxpayers about £2bn every year - half goes on criminal defence and the rest on civil cases including mental health, asylum and family law involving domestic violence, forced marriage or child abduction.
Government proposals include cutting fees in complex, high cost cases by 30%, and in other crown court work by up to 18%.
Treasury Counsel said the "entirely obvious and predictable outcomes will be lost quality and reduced supply of criminal advocates".
Meanwhile, the Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, accused the government of putting "cuts before justice".
Maura McGowan QC, chairwoman of the Bar, told BBC Radio 5 live there was clear evidence that standards were at risk.
"The fees that are paid to people who do these cases have been reduced by almost as much as 40% already, before the planned reductions," she said.
"It will drive people of quality out of the system and will mean those who depend on publicly funded representation run the risk of getting a lower standard.
"So to say that they're making these cuts because they want to protect those who most need help, cannot be right."
The Law Society, which represents some 130,000 solicitors in England and Wales, said it had some concerns about proposals for flat fees in magistrates' courts and the crown court and a single national fixed fee for police station work.
Law Society President Nicholas Fluck said: "To maintain quality, it is vital that we have the most diverse range of solicitors possible in the system within the boundaries of long-term financial viability.
"The current proposals for a single national fixed fee for police station work will have a disproportionate effect on firms in high-cost areas where the cost of doing business is greater.
"It is unwise to risk tarnishing the respect in which our justice system both domestically and internationally is held by an apparent incentive to plead guilty, which could jeopardise the relationship of trust between clients and solicitors."
The MoJ said the cut in high cost cases was to ensure it would impact high earners and not junior barristers, and denied other cuts were unjust.
An MoJ spokeswoman said: "We have tried to ensure our proposals have more impact on high earners - 70% of criminal barristers contracted to Very High Cost Cases receive fee incomes of over £100,000, which is why we targeted the largest fee reductions at this type of work.
"Nor do we accept our proposed rates for more routine work are unjust. The minimum a QC would be paid for such a case is £306 each day.
"At around £2 billion a year we have one of the most expensive legal aid systems in the world and even after our changes would still have one of the most generous.
"We agree legal aid is a vital part of our justice system and that's why we have to find efficiencies to ensure it remains sustainable and available to those most in need of a lawyer.
"We have engaged constructively and consistently with lawyers - including revising our proposals in response to their comments - and to allege we have not is re-writing history."
Scottish Fire and Rescue were called out to the accident on the A99, south of Keiss, at about 03:15.
The road was closed for several hours while an accident investigation took place. The stretch of road was later reopened.
Police Scotland said the man was the only occupant of the car in the single-vehicle accident.
Around a third of former onshore oil and gas wells are leaking methane gas, according to the research led by scientists at the University of Durham.
But it found the leaks produced less methane than agricultural use.
The industry body said the findings should reassure people.
"What ReFINE has shown is that the public should have no health or environmental concerns about emissions from properly decommissioned wells adhering to current industry standards."
"Indeed the research has found that in the minority of cases where they have recorded some methane emissions from decommissioned wells, these emissions are typically less than one would get from just a handful of livestock grazing in the same fields," said Ken Cronin, Chief Executive of UKOOG, the representative body of the UK Onshore Oil & Gas industry.
Around 2000 onshore oil and gas wells have been drilled in the UK.
Fracking for shale oil and gas could result in many more.
Doug Parr, Chief Scientist at Greenpeace, says that's a worry given the levels of methane leakage uncovered in the study.
"If even an industry-funded study suggests that 30% of conventional wells appear to be leaking, it raises serious questions over the long-term impact of the extensive development of unconventional gas in the UK which is clearly the government's plan," he said.
The study sought to clarify how many former or decommissioned wells might be leaking methane.
Tests were carried out at wells ranging from 8 to 79-years-old.
Levels of the gas were tested at 102 locations which had previously been working oil or gas sites.
The sites had all been decommissioned, which involves the wells being cut-off, sealed and buried to a depth of 2 metres.
In the majority of cases, the methane levels were either lower than or comparable with that in nearby fields.
But at 31 sites methane levels found at the soil surface were significantly higher than those found in control samples taken nearby.
"The point is that even with proper decommissioning you will still have those wells that leak as cement cracks and steel corrodes and so monitoring is important," said Professor Fred Worrall, from the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University, who led the research.
"Overwhelmingly wells are properly decommissioned and our study shows that when methane does leak the levels are low, for example when compared to methane produced by the agricultural use of the land," he added.
At one former well at Hardstoft in Derbyshire, gas can be seen bubbling through a puddle at the surface. The Well was drilled in 1917 and abandoned before modern decommissioning regulations were in place. Methane levels here were more than 10 times higher than for average decommissioned wells.
The study found that 40% per cent of the most recent wells surveyed showed leaks.
This suggests that leaks develop early in the life of a decommissioned well.
It also found that methane levels did not increase significantly with the age of the well since drilling.
The research did not examine the implications of methane leaks on the water supplies. In the US concerns have been raised about elevated levels of methane in water near fracking wells.
The British Geological Survey is undertaking a National Baseline Methane Survey of groundwaters across the UK.
Understanding the current groundwater levels of methane will provide a baseline against which any future changes could be measured.
The research into methane leakage, led by the Durham University, is published on Tuesday in the journal "Science of the Total Environment".
It is part of work carried out by the ReFINE project - which is led by Durham & Newcastle Universities - and which focuses on researching the potential risks of shale gas and oil exploitation.
The project has been funded by UK research councils and agencies as well as firms involved in oil and gas exploration and fracking including Shell, Chevron, Ineos and Centrica.

She is expected to begin a new role at News Corp-owned media agency Storyful that will focus on new avenues for digital and social media.
Sources told the BBC no announcement was imminent and Ms Brooks' salary was "still being worked out."
The role is likely to be based in the UK but involve frequent trips to Dublin, where Storyful is based.
Ms Brooks is the former editor of the Sun and now defunct News of the World newspapers.
She was acquitted last year of charges related to phone hacking during her time as editor of both newspapers and perverting the course of justice.
The revelations that journalists at the News of the World hacked the phone of missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002, ultimately led to the demise of the 178 year-old newspaper in 2011.
Storyful is an Irish social media news agency founded by former RTE current affairs presenter Mark Little and bought by News Corp in 2013 for £15m.
Current chief executive Rahul Chopra, who joined Storyful from News Corp as part of that takeover deal, only took up his current position in December, replacing Mr Little, who became director of editorial innovation.
He is a long time News Corp executive and, according to Storyful's website, also holds the position of senior vice president of video at News Corp, where he is responsible for video expansion across all of the company's properties worldwide.
He previously held several roles within business development at Dow Jones, primarily focusing on the Wall Street Journal's video, mobile and tablet expansion strategy.
Initial reports suggested Ms Brooks would be taking over at the top of Storyful, but sources told the BBC her role has yet to be fully determined.
No one from News Corp was available to provide comment.
The 61-year-old man received a call from a man claiming to be from HM Revenue & Customs on Thursday at 09:00.
The caller told the man he had a £500 debt, which would need to be paid immediately.
The man was told to buy the vouchers and give the serial numbers to the caller, which he did.
PC John McLean, of Police Scotland, said: "Often these fraudulent callers sound extremely convincing and authentic but we would urge the public to remain vigilant.
"If they are in any doubt that it's genuine hang up the phone and report matter to HMRC who take scams and bogus callers of any kind very seriously."
An HMRC spokesman said: "HMRC takes security extremely seriously. We are aware that some people have received telephone calls from individuals claiming to be from HMRC.
"We are a well-known brand, which criminal's abuse, to add credibility to their scams. HMRC will never request tax debts to be paid in payment vouchers and we are clear that they cannot be used to pay tax.
"We recommend that if you cannot verify the identity of a caller that you do not speak to them."
The nine were all born after Nato's 1999 military campaign, strongly backed by the former UK prime minister, which ousted Serbian forces from the region.
Mr Blair is credited with playing a decisive role in ending former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic regime's persecution of ethnic Albanians.
One of those named after the former prime minister, Tonibler Sahiti, said he was a "very great man".
Mr Blair, paying only his second visit to Kosovan capital Pristina since 1999, was greeted by a crowd of several thousand people, some carrying British flags, and posters describing him as a "leader, friend and hero".
He and his wife Cherie appeared on stage with nine children named after him in the aftermath of Nato's air campaign against Serbia.
Before he was introduced to the crowd, Mr Blair was told that his name was "quite common" in the country.
Speaking to Kosovo TV, the father of one of the children named after him remembered when Mr Blair visited a camp in neighbouring Albania where refugees had fled from the violence in their homeland.
"They ask me what the name is," Jahir Sahiti said on his son Tonibler.
"I tell them that the name is Tonibler and I hope that he carries it in good health."
His mother Shukrija said she was very "proud" he was named after Mr Blair, adding: "I hope to God that he grows up to be like Tony Blair or just a fraction like him."
After Nato's action in 1999, it established a UN protectorate over the territory. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
Mr Blair told the audience that he did not regret his actions in supporting the attacks on Serbian troops in what is now Kosovo and targets in Serbia itself.
"I did what was right. I did not regret it then. I do not regret it now," he said.
Ilir Nishku, head of the BBC World Service's Albanian Department, said Mr Blair was regarded as something of a hero in Kosovo due to his championing of the war.
He said he had equal status to the former US President Bill Clinton.
It was the last hurdle the two firms needed to clear for the merger to proceed.
American Airlines said it now expects the deal to be completed by 9 December.
Earlier this month, the two airlines settled an anti-trust suit brought by the US Justice Department.
The Justice Department sued to stop the merger in August, saying it would reduce competition and result in higher prices for consumers.
As part of the settlement, American Airlines and US Airways agreed to give up slots at several US airports, including Reagan National Airport in Washington DC and LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
Those slots are to be given to low-cost airline carriers like JetBlue and Southwest.
American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011. The company says it expects to emerge out of bankruptcy once the merger is complete.
Shares in US Airways were up slightly after the ruling was announced.
On 6 December, US Airways is expected to stop trading. Then, on 9 December, the new American Airlines Group (AAL) is scheduled to start trading on the Nasdaq exchange.
The head was found by a quarry worker at Mepal, between Chatteris and Ely, on Monday afternoon. It is not yet known whether the head was male or female.
Officers are also searching a landfill site in Bedfordshire, from where they believe the head came.
Police stressed the discovery at Block Fen Drove was of a head and not a skull and that they were trying to establish how long the remains had been there.
More on this story
The head has been removed and is being analysed by the Cambridgeshire Coroner.
Det Insp Jerry Waite, from the Beds, Cambs and Herts Major Crime Unit (MCU), said: "We are conducting enquiries both locally and across the county borders, and would urge anyone with information about the finding to contact us.
"At this stage we do not know if the head is male or female, however we have got officers carrying out searches at a site in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, as we believe this is where the remains may have come from."
A forensics team has been at Mill Road, Sharnbrook, 40 miles away from Mepal, since Monday afternoon.
It's pretty peaceful here on Block Fen Drove, apart from the lorries rumbling past, continuing with their work.
One driver stopped to say there were quite a few police down at the quarry site.
Only one police car has been seen leaving the site in the past few hours. Reporters are being kept well back from the cordon.
Mick George Ltd, which has an aggregates and landfill site at Block Fen Drove, told the BBC: "We are working closely with the police and providing them with all the information they need to undertake their investigations."
A number of companies operate out of Mepal quarry, and many extract aggregates to be used in the construction industry.
Police said the head was found at about 15:00 BST by a Mick George worker.
A spokesman said officers expected to remain at both sites overnight.
Audrey Thom, 58, from Fife, was badly injured in the accident on the A914 between Dairsie Roundabout and Balmullo on Tuesday.
Mrs Thom was a passenger in a grey Mazda 3 when it was involved in a collision with a white Renault Traffic van.
Mrs Thom died on Thursday. The van driver suffered minor injuries.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
Her family said: "Audrey was a much loved wife, mother to three daughters and very recent granny. She will be sadly missed."
Insp Brenda Sinclair, of Police Scotland, said: "We are still making inquiries to establish the full circumstances of this collision.
"We are asking anyone who was in the area at the time and saw these vehicles or who witnessed the collision, to contact us."
Fly-half Sexton picked up a 'minor' hamstring injury in the bruising weekend defeat by New Zealand while centre Henshaw suffered concussion.
Rob Kearney and CJ Stander also sustained concussion and are doubtful.
Ireland have added Ulster centre Stuart Olding and Munster's Rory Scannell to the squad as cover.
Henshaw "was knocked unconscious by a shoulder contact to his jaw" following a tackle by New Zealand flanker Sam Cane and had to be carried off with his neck in a brace after only 10 minutes.
Cane, and team-mate Malakai Fekitoa, were cited after the game and face disciplinary hearings on Tuesday for "allegedly dangerous tackles".
Sexton was forced off soon after Henshaw as Ireland suffered a 21-9 loss two weeks after they beat the All Blacks for the first time in 111 years.
Full-back Kearney developed concussive symptoms after the match and he will follow the return to play protocols along with Stander with a view to deciding their involvement against the Wallabies.
Simon Zebo (cramp) and Tadhg Furlong (dead leg) are expected to recover in time to face Michael Cheika's side.
Ireland team manager Mick Kearney described the number of "tackles and bangs around the head" to the side's players during the game as "disappointing".
An edict issued by World Rugby immediately before the Autumn Internationals called on referees to be strict against tackles and strikes above the shoulders, and to punish offenders severely.
"World Rugby had said if these incidents occur then you are liable to a red card, possibly. So that obviously didn't happen at the weekend," added Kearney.
Australia have won all three matches on their northern hemisphere tour, edging out Scotland and France following a comfortable victory over Wales.
Mr Farage told an audience of young people that children under 11 should get sex and relationship education.
UKIP's deputy leader and education spokesman Paul Nuttall had previously said it should be axed for this group.
Mr Farage said he had "never advocated that" but later admitted that what Mr Nuttall said was party policy.
His comments came during a Leaders Live event organised by voter engagement group Bite The Ballot, and streamed live by YouTube and ITV News.
Asked about his position on banning sex education for under 11s, Mr Farage said: "I've never advocated that policy. If somebody in UKIP in the past did, well, so be it, but I think that people need to have a rounded education and sex education is part of that."
The questioner pointed out that the commitment to scrapping it was on the party's website, to which Mr Farage replied: "I know there was a debate about sex education for four-year-olds, and whether that was appropriate but I don't think the age 11 was ever mentioned."
UKIP's website states that its policy is to: "Scrap sex and relationship education for children under the age of 11."
Mr Nuttall also told the party conference in Doncaster this autumn that "UKIP is committed to the scrapping of sex and relationship education for children under the age of 11".
Mr Farage later tweeted: "Sorry, I missed the beginning of Mr Nuttall's conference speech. He did indeed lay out policy on sex education" - with a link to the conference speech.
It comes after confusion, or disagreement, between Mr Farage and others in his party over various policies.
Mr Farage disowned an idea from the party's economy spokesman Patrick O'Flynn to impose a tax on high price items like shoes, which quickly became known as the "handbag tax".
The day before the Rochester and Strood by-election he was involved in a disagreement with his party's candidate - and now newest UKIP MP - Mark Reckless, who was criticised after implying that migrants might have to leave the country after a "transitional period" if the UK left the EU.
Mr Reckless suggested that they may have to apply for work permits and could face having to return to their home country.
But the party leader said no-one who came here legally before the UK left the union would face being forced to leave.
Mr Farage said Mr Reckless had been referring to the negotiations that would take place during a "transitional period" between a hypothetical vote to leave the EU and the actual moment of withdrawal.
He added: "Anyone who has legally entered the country has a right to remain. We do not believe in retrospective legislation."
The defence ministry launched a three-month trial on Wednesday morning, but within hours Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was "unacceptable".
Groups representing Jewish settlers have been campaigning for segregated travel on security grounds.
But human rights groups described the measures as shameful and racist.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
The travel rules put in place by the Israeli defence ministry for a trial period on Wednesday would have applied to the tens of thousands of Palestinian workers who legally travel through checkpoints to work in Israel every day.
Instead of being free to travel home from Israel on any bus heading to the West Bank, the workers would have been required to return only on buses which went back to the checkpoint where they entered Israel - thus denying them access to shared buses which do not go to the checkpoints.
The effect would have been to segregate Jewish and Palestinian passengers onto different buses, says the BBC's Kevin Connolly in Jerusalem.
The leader of Israel's opposition, Yitzhak Herzog of the Zionist Union, wrote on his Facebook page that the move was "a needless humiliation, a stain on the country's face and citizens", and had nothing to do with security.
Yariv Oppenheimer, from the campaign group Peace Now, said: "When something looks like apartheid and smells like apartheid, then it's apartheid."
Within hours on the trial beginning, Mr Netanyahu had informed Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon that it was "unacceptable" and should be suspended, a senior official in the prime minister's office told the BBC.
Our correspondent says it appears Mr Netanyahu over-ruled Mr Yaalon after detecting the danger of damage to Israel's international reputation.
It is hard to see how it could be reinstated in its current form, he adds.
Many Jewish settlers who use the same buses to travel back to their own communities argue that allowing Palestinian passengers onto the buses creates a security risk.
Mr Yaalon has previously said: "Twenty Arabs on a bus with a Jewish driver, two or three passengers and one soldier with a gun is a set-up for an attack."
However, the former head of the Israeli military's Central Command, Maj Gen Nitzan Alon, said that he did not consider Palestinian workers to be a threat.
In a separate development on Wednesday, Israeli police said they had shot dead a Palestinian man in East Jerusalem after he swerved his vehicle towards a group of police officers. Two officers were slightly injured, and taken to hospital.
Following the shooting in the al-Tur district, Palestinians threw rocks at police. One eyewitness said the driver had tried to swerve to avoid hitting pedestrians.
The actress and UN special envoy recruited local children to star in her film about Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, First They Killed My Father.
She spoke to Vanity Fair about the film and explained how they used a casting game which involved giving money to poor children then taking it away.
The interview caused outrage, with many accusing Jolie of being "exploitative".
In it, Jolie explains how the directors looked through slums and orphanages to find actors for the film, and were "specifically seeking children who had experienced hardship".
Their casting game saw children being asked to snatch some money, and then when caught, come up with a lie for why they stole it.
"Srey Moch [who was selected for the lead role] was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time," Jolie told the magazine.
"When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion... When she was asked later what the money was for, she said her grandfather had died, and they didn't have enough money for a nice funeral."
Jolie, who directed the Netflix film, said it was "false and upsetting" that people misinterpreted her description of the casting process.
"I am upset that a pretend exercise in an improvisation, from an actual scene in the film, has been written about as if it was a real scenario," Jolie said in a statement.
She added: "The point of this film is to bring attention to the horrors children face in war and to help fight to protect them. The suggestion that real money was taken from a child during an audition is false and upsetting. I would be outraged myself if this had happened."
"Every measure was taken to ensure the safety, comfort and well-being of the children on the film starting from the auditions through production to the present," she said.
First They Killed My Father is Jolie's directorial debut for streaming giant Netflix.
It is based on a true-life account of a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide and is told through the eyes of a child.
Jolie told the BBC earlier this year that she hoped the film would help Cambodians speak more openly about their period of trauma.
Jolie's controversial account of casting drew outrage among many, with social media users calling it "emotionally abusive and cruel".
"Angelina Jolie has gone too far," wrote one woman on Facebook. "For someone who constantly declares her love for Cambodia and children, this was a sick and depraved stunt she pulled. Some philanthropist she is."
"Child abuse" was how one Facebook user described it, slamming Jolie's "authentic methods" of casting. "You are no longer welcome in my world. You didn't realise you were dealing with children with post-traumatic syndrome (PTSD) and poverty?"
But some fans stood by Jolie's defence.
"This all sounds like it was taken out of context," said Nathalie Anderson. "She is a humanitarian and I believe she would never traumatise children like that."

The case for renewing Trident was still being discussed, the Labour leader told the BBC, prompting Tory criticism.
But a Labour spokesman said it remained official policy to keep the deterrent.
In the interview, Mr Corbyn said he wanted no more air strikes in Syria but did not rule out a drone strike to kill the leader of so-called Islamic State.
Speaking to Andrew Marr on BBC One, Mr Corbyn - a long-standing opponent of nuclear weapons - said he would never launch a "first strike" attack as prime minister and wanted to de-escalate global tensions, working with other countries including the US, Russia and Iran.
Pressed on whether a commitment to renew Trident would be in Labour's election manifesto, he replied: "We are having that discussion within the Labour Party and we will publish our manifesto in May.
"We will have a strategic defence review immediately which will include all aspects of defence. We would then look at the situation at that time."
Nuclear weapons, he insisted, were not a solution to the world's problems, adding: "I have made clear there would be no first use of it and that any use of nuclear weapons would be a disaster for the world."
In other election developments:
Mr Corbyn is the first Labour leader to support unilateral nuclear disarmament since Michael Foot in 1983 - a stance which puts him at odds with the bulk of his party.
Most of his MPs, including his deputy and defence spokeswoman, back the "continuous-at-sea deterrent" while unions say scrapping it would be bad for jobs.
MPs overwhelmingly voted earlier this year to build four new submarines to carry missiles armed with nuclear warheads. They are intended to replace the existing Vanguard fleet from the early 2030s at an estimated cost of £31bn.
Several hours after Mr Corbyn's interview, Labour released a statement saying "the decision to renew Trident has been taken and Labour supports that".
Expanding on his foreign policy priorities, Mr Corbyn said he supported Nato and wanted to boost the UK's conventional armed forces but would be seeking a better relationship with Russia.
Asked whether he would approve a potential drone strike to kill the leader of the so-called Islamic State group, he said Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi "not being around would be helpful".
But he said he would first want to see the intelligence available and understand what a move would achieve in terms of ending the conflict in Syria, in which he said innocent civilians continued to die in bombing raids.
On the question of Europe, he acknowledged that the free movement of European citizens into the UK would end after Brexit, since it was an "intrinsic" feature of EU membership.
Asked if he would insist on it ending if he was PM, Mr Corbyn said he would "insist on trade access and see what follows from that".
But he rejected claims that his stance on Brexit was indistinguishable from Theresa May's, saying he was seeking an "intelligent" relationship based on tariff-free access to the single market.
In the domestic sphere, he said he was "fed up" with inequality and under-investment and would use the power of the government to improve housing and education and phase out private contracts in the NHS.
He said he would like to see all grammar schools turned into comprehensives but said this could only be decided at a "local" level.
And asked whether he believed he could win the snap 8 June poll, he replied "watch this space".
The Conservatives said only Theresa May was offering "strong and stable" leadership.
"This morning we learnt that Jeremy Corbyn would refuse to strike against terrorists, dismantle our nuclear defences and fail to control our borders," said Home Secretary Amber Rudd.

The FTSE 100 closed down 172.87 points, or 2.8%, to 5,935.84.
Mining shares led the falls after commodity prices continued to weaken. Copper prices hit two-week lows and oil prices dropped after rising on Monday.
Among mining firms, Glencore sank more than 10% while Anglo American was down 6.7%.
Commodity prices have been hit by the slowdown in the Chinese economy, which is a huge importer of raw materials.
Investors are also waiting for a survey, due to be released on Wednesday, that will provide the latest snapshot of the health of China's manufacturing sector.
Oil prices also fell, reversing some of the gains seen on Monday. The price of Brent crude was down 64 cents at $48.28 a barrel, having dropped below $48 earlier.
"Until China demand and emerging market currencies find a floor, it will remain challenging to put an absolute floor on commodity prices," said analysts at Credit Suisse.
Big falls were also seen across other European markets, with Germany's Dax index down 3.8% and France's Cac 40 index dropping 3.4%.
Shares in carmakers saw the biggest falls, as the fallout continued from Volkswagen's rigging of US car emissions tests.
Shares in VW dived another 20%, while rivals BMW and Daimler were both down more than 5%. In France, shares in Renault dropped 7%.

When Kenya invaded Somalia two years ago, it took the fight to al-Shabab, the Islamist militant group with links to al-Qaeda, which still controls large areas of southern Somalia.
The invasion was supposed to make Kenya safer. And to some extent it has. Mr Obara waves his arm over the acres of coast and scrubland he and his men patrol that in the past, he points out, would come under attack.
But he admits his force is under-equipped and under-staffed.
"Porous the way the border is, I am sure people must be penetrating without our catching [them]."
Indeed, it was somewhere here, security officials believe, the four men believed to be responsible for the attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi slipped across the border into Kenya.
Many of the details of the attack remain a mystery. But a picture is beginning to emerge of a bungled security operation and a frustrated Kenyan police force, funded by the West, lashing out at those they see as a threat.
On the day of the attack, there was chaos. It took the security forces 90 minutes to arrive at the scene, by which time many of the 67 people who lost their lives had already been killed.
But by mid-afternoon, teams from the Kenyan Paramilitary police (the GSU), appeared to have the attackers pinned down at the back of the building.
Until the army arrived. That, says former GSU officer George Musamali, is when things started to go wrong.

"Each unit was coming in with its own command. The operation was bungled," he says.
"The GSU was effectively handling the situation. But when the army came, everybody else was kicked out, and this is where the operation started going badly."
Forensic investigators say they have retrieved the remains of three or four individuals, which they believe belong to the bodies of the attackers. The remains are being tested but have yet to deliver a positive DNA match.
After the New York Police Department (NYPD) sent officers to Nairobi to assist in the investigation, it said it is possible some or all of the gunmen could have escaped.
Mr Musamali, who maintains close links with Kenya's police and intelligence services, says some of his former colleagues agree with the NYPD.
"They also believe the attackers might have left the building. The intelligence services are telling me they slipped out of Westgate and left the country," he says.
At the moment, it is unclear whether the attackers are alive or dead.
In the early hours of 4 October, less than two weeks after the Westgate attack, a radical preacher by the name of Ibrahim "Rogo" Omar was shot dead as he travelled in a car on the outskirts of Mombasa, Kenya's second city.
He has not been officially linked to Westgate but his followers believe he was killed by a branch of the Kenyan police known as the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU).
Officially, the Kenyan police deny any involvement in his killing but, speaking on condition of anonymity, a serving member of the Anti-Terror Police Unit said the ATPU was behind the shooting.
"The justice system in Kenya is not favourable to the work of the police," he said.
"So we opt to eliminate them. We identify you, we gun you down in front of your family, and we begin with the leaders."
Mr Omar's case appears in a report by the Kenyan non-governmental organisation Muslims for Human Rights, detailing dozens of instances of extra-judicial killings, disappearances, torture and rendition allegedly carried out by the ATPU, which receives funding and training from the United States and the UK.
"They want to impress the British, they want to impress the Americans, because they are getting funding," says Francis Auma, who compiled the report.
The ATPU did not respond to BBC requests for an interview. In a statement, the UK Foreign Office said it took allegations of human rights abuse very seriously.
It added: "The UK has significant interests in Kenya. We consider that there is a threat to these interests, as demonstrated by the recent attack on the Westgate shopping centre, and to the UK mainland - primarily from foreign fighters in the East Africa region - a significant number of whom have UK links.
"We are working with the authorities to tackle this threat and to support the rule of law in Kenya."
Mr Musamali says many involved in counter-terrorism in Kenya feel that the country's legal system is hampering their efforts.
"If police are involved in this, I believe it is out of frustration.
"They have specific facts and probably they know this person is involved in terrorism. But you take him to court and tomorrow he is out on bond, doing the same things."
Few doubt that Kenya has a problem with radicalisation.
Muslim cleric Abubakar Shariff Ahmed, who is known more commonly as Makaburi and appears on UN and US sanctions lists accused of recruiting young Kenyan Muslims for violent militant activity in Somalia - a charge he denies, says Kenyan security services are systematically targeting those they perceive as a threat.
"They are pre-empting attacks by killing anybody who has the potential to do an attack or who they think has the potential to instigate an attack."
But are the security services targeting the right people?
"Maybe yes but mostly no," Makaburi thinks.
"I know they are going to kill me. But I do not fear for my safety. I am a true Muslim. I believe that my life and death is in the hands of Allah."
And police efforts to combat radicalisation appear to be having the opposite effect in a run-down part of Nairobi known as Majengo.
"They are killing us," one young man told me, who along with others complained that anyone of Somali origin or of the Muslim faith was suspected of being a member of al-Shabab. All denied knowing anyone who had joined the militant group.
"But there is no problem if they join al-Shabab or al-Qaeda," said Ahmed Abdurahman, a 20-year-old student, adding that it was a way of providing money for their families if they were unemployed.
Coursera, with 17 million registered students and free online courses from 140 universities, wants to be part of India's drive to expand access to higher education.
This Californian company is one of the trailblazers of the so-called Moocs (massive open online courses) which run courses for students studying at home, but usually without accredited degrees.
At present only about 12% of young people in India get university places - and Rick Levin, Coursera's chief executive officer, says there are an "awful lot of talented people" who "don't make the cut".
What makes this an even bigger opportunity for online providers is that the Indian government has a target to increase university enrolment by 30% by 2030.
Dr Levin says this is "hugely ambitious" and then qualifies it further as "frankly almost impossible" if such an expansion were to depend on building new bricks and mortar universities.
It would mean establishing "literally a couple of thousand universities" as well as expanding the existing institutions, he says.
Instead Dr Levin, a former president of Yale University, believes it will be online courses that will fill the gap and widen access to university for India's ambitious youngsters.
Coursera already has 1.3 million students in India, the biggest concentration of online students outside the US and China.
Dr Levin says that the 10 most popular courses for these online students are all related to information technology or data science.
And India's burgeoning software industry will mean a growing demand for skilled workers.

At the moment he says India's higher education system, with its elite, highly-selective institutions, does not have the capacity to meet the aspirations of a young and talented generation.
"The economic opportunity is great and there are an awful lot of bright people who don't get the benefit of an education their potential deserves," he says.
Coursera offers free online courses from universities including Yale, Stanford, Columbia and Edinburgh.
But they do not lead to an external exam or an accredited degree.
And the long-anticipated next step has been when such universities will use the Mooc model to offer fully-fledged online degrees.
Dr Levin says this is the longer-term direction of travel.
But more immediately, particularly in places such as India, he says the most valuable kind of recognition is from employers, when they accept online Mooc courses as relevant for job applications.
"That's a hurdle that doesn't require accreditation, it's a marketplace recognition. That's going to move faster than any accreditation process, it's market driven not bureaucratic."
When Moocs first appeared a few years ago they were hailed as a revolution in higher education, promising the kind of impact the internet had brought to retail and entertainment.
Dr Levin says that as an economist he recognised the "cycle of hype" surrounding Moocs.
Likening it to the current interest in self-driving cars, he says there were exaggerated expectations that they would "change the world immediately".
But he says it should not have been a surprise to anyone that "500-year-old institutions didn't just roll over and die".
"What's really happening is something socially valuable - we're closing the skills gap, giving people an opportunity."
Coursera will have plenty of competition to attract India's students.
Traditional campus-based universities in the US have been attracting rapidly rising numbers of Indian students, up by almost 30% last year and second only to China.
This is a tough market and figures for UK universities last week showed the fourth consecutive annual fall in students coming from India, with less than half the number of students compared with 2010-11.
But the UK's distance learning university, the Open University, has ambitions to increase its reach in India.
The approach is not to offer courses directly, but to work with local institutions and support courses accredited by Indian universities.
"They will deliver their own local qualifications," but with content and online teaching resources provided by the Open University, says director of external engagement Steve Hill.
"It would be wrong for a foreign university to say we're here to solve your problems, we're going to set up a campus and we're going to offer our qualifications," he adds.
This approach of working with local partners has reached 200,000 students in China, says Mr Hill and the Open University hopes to reach similar numbers in India.
Mr Hill also sees distance learning as a practical way for India to reach its target for another 14 million university places in less than 15 years.
The Indian higher education sector could not realistically expand that quickly in terms of traditional universities, he says.
And even if overseas universities were allowed to open campuses in India, it would be a risky financial model and would be limited in how many students could be reached.
"The only way it is going to reach its target is online. India has to embrace distance learning," says Mr Hill.
At present, India has 3.5 million students on distance learning degrees and the OU chief executive argues that this is going to have to increase significantly.
A recent report from the British Council forecast that by 2025 India will have the biggest student-age population in the world. It means a decade of even more intense competition from international universities for a share of this expanding market.
James Richardson's body was found near Forteviot on 12 July.
The Police Investigation and Review Commissioner (Pirc) has launched an inquiry.
Its investigation will focus on the initial police response following a report of concern made about the 29-year-old's welfare.
Mr Richardson, who was from Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, was last seen getting off a bus which left T in the Park on 11 July.
Police said last week that his death was not suspicious.
Officers have carried out searches on the side of the A9 dual carriageway between Auchterarder and Perth as part of the investigation.
A section of the northbound carriageway on the Cairney Braes, between the Dunning and Forteviot junctions, was shut on Monday night.
Police vehicles were parked at the end of the coned-off section as officers scoured undergrowth at the side of the road.
A Tayside Division spokeswoman said: "Police Scotland acknowledges the Pirc investigation into the initial police response following a report of concern made about James Richardson's welfare in the Forteviot area of Perthshire.
"We will co-operate fully with the investigation and will address any recommendations which may be made."
The FAW 4 Gloster Javelin was built in the county in 1956, and has spent more than two decades at the gates of RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire.
The Jet Age Museum at Staverton bought it from the Ministry of Defence for an undisclosed sum last December.
The aeroplane, which has no engine and is not airworthy, will now be restored.
It spent much of its operational life as a test and trials aircraft at the GAC (Gloster Aircraft Company) in Hucclecote, which built planes using jet engines designed by British engineer Sir Frank Whittle.
More than 250,000 people have visited the museum, one of whose patrons is Sir Frank's son Ian, since it reopened in August 2013.
He leapt out of a car driving on Main Street in Dickens Heath, Solihull, after a group outside The Chalice shouted at the driver to slow down.
The victim, who managed to throw water on his face from a nearby dog bowl, was unhurt. The car drove off.
It comes after a spate of acid attacks in London over the past few weeks.
A separate man, thought to be the driver of the vehicle, has since been arrested and charged with a public order offence, West Midlands Police said. He is due before magistrates on 16 August.
A bottle containing a clear liquid was also recovered.
More updates on this story
Officers are appealing to identify the man captured on CCTV squirting the liquid from the bottle outside the pub on Tuesday.
The victim, whose eyes were protected by glasses, did not suffer any burning sensation.
PC Dave Spencer said: "Given the recent spate of acid attacks in London this was a hugely irresponsible act and very scary for the victim.
"The attacker shouted 'I've got acid' but we believe it was actually an ammonia-based cleaning fluid."
Anyone with information is urged to contact the force.
Working with Denbighshire council, newly-trained lifeguards will patrol Rhyl and Prestatyn beaches daily between 10:00 and 18:00 BST.
RNLI lifeguards assisted more than 900 people on 32 Welsh beaches in 2015, and the charity has extended its safety service to 39 beaches this year.
They include four in Bridgend, as well as working with the National Trust on Three Cliffs Bay in Swansea.
Peter Rooney, north Wales lifeguard manager said: "The RNLI lifeguards have now all completed their training and are looking forward for the start of the new safety service."
Ghaly is not in Egypt coach Hector Cuper's squad for June's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.
The omission of the Ahly captain follows reports of an argument with assistant coach Osama Nabeh in March.
"The problem between Osama Nabeh and Hossam Ghaly has ended," Taher said.
"I held a meeting with Hany Abo Rida - the general supervisor of the Egyptian National team - and we resolved things.
"The meeting was meant to include Ghaly and Nabeh but the player is preparing for a league match on Wednesday.
"Ghaly is one of the most important players in Egypt now and I'm sure he will back in the national team soon."
The 34-year-old, who played for Tottenham Hotspur in England and also had spells in Belgium and Netherlands, has played more than 70 times for Egypt.
The Pharaohs will face Tanzania in Dar es Salaam on 4 June needing just a draw to seal qualification for next year's Nations Cup finals in Gabon.
Cuper has recalled Zamalek's Mohamed Ibrahim and Al Ahly duo Ahmed Fathy and Hossam Ashour.
The Pharaohs are due to begin their training camp on Thursday and were due to play a friendly against DR Congo on 29 May, but that game has since been cancelled.
Egypt Squad:
Goalkeepers: Essam El-Hadary (Wadi Degla), Sherif Ekrami (Al Ahly), Ahmed El-Shennawy (Zamalek)

The Directors UK report, which looked at 55,000 episodes across 546 shows in 2013, found that BAME directors were "critically under-represented".
Diversity Chair Menhaj Huda said the report showed working in television "is inaccessible for far too many".
"There is a failure to provide any kind of support for BAME talent," he added.
Directors UK represents more than 6,000 British screen directors. The group campaigns for the rights, working conditions and status of directors in the industry.
Statistics show BAME directors make up 3.5% of the directing community, despite 14% of the UK population coming from BAME backgrounds.
The report - Adjusting the Colour Balance - focused on the number of BAME directors employed in the five key genres of UK television: factual, drama, children's, comedy and multi-camera/entertainment.
'Equal opportunities'
Research was based on a large sample of the most popular and significant programmes made in-house at the BBC and ITV, and by the top nine independent production companies.
Statistics revealed that just 0.18% among the most popular comedy shows broadcast in 2013 were made by BAME directors - where 99.82% of directors were white. The highest figure was in factual, where just 2.46% of programmes were made by BAME directors.
Further analysis at sub-genre level found there were areas such as period drama and game shows where there was no evidence of BAME directors being employed.
"Everyone, at every level across all genres, has a significant role to play to ensure that all directors have equal opportunities," said Andrew Chowns, CEO of Directors UK.
"Our report reaffirms the need for broadcasters, as industry leaders, to work together with us and the wider industry to create new opportunities for progression and change."
Predominantly white
Many BAME directors reported that, in comparison to their white peers, their careers often took significantly longer to progress and that access to employment opportunities were far more limited .
Directors UK carried out a number of in-depth interviews with BAME members of the industry to better understand what lies behind the issues and how to tackle them.
The feedback suggested there was a widely-held perception that television production in Britain was a predominantly white industry.
A high proportion of BAME directors interviewed were given their first break into television through the publicly-funded broadcasters BBC and Channel 4.
"We are talking about British directors from BAME backgrounds whose experiences growing up in this country offer a different take on story-telling, a different perspective, but a voice that is valid which is effectively being shut out," said Menhaj Huda.
"It's great that the industry is talking about the issue of diversity but discussion does not equal action."
Mr Obama said the situation on Mount Sinjar had greatly improved.
Many of those displaced had now left the mountain and further rescue operations were not envisaged, he said.
However, Mr Obama said the US would continue air strikes against the Islamic State (IS) rebel group.
Iraqi and Kurdish forces who were fighting IS would also continue to receive US military assistance, Mr Obama said.
The jihadist militants, formerly known as Isis, seized a large band of territory across northern Iraq and Syria this summer.
The United Nations estimates that 1.2 million Iraqis have been internally displaced by the latest violence.
Speaking in the US, the president re-emphasised the need for Iraqis to find a political solution to the crisis, describing the prospect of a new and inclusive government, led by Haider al-Abadi, as an "enormous opportunity".
"He still has a challenging task in putting a government together, but we are modestly hopeful that the... situation is moving in the right direction," Mr Obama said.
Mr Abadi, a deputy speaker of parliament, has been asked by the Iraqi president to form a new government.
Current Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, whose coalition won the most seats in April's election, had vowed to contest the move in court, describing it as a violation of the constitution.
However, reports coming out of Baghdad on Thursday evening, and attributed to MPs, said Mr Maliki was to address the nation, announcing he would stand aside in favour of Mr Abadi.
Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Mr Maliki had no choice but to "accept the wishes of the majority of Iraqis".
Mr Zebari, who served under the prime minister until last month, also dismissed fears that Iraq could fall apart, saying the Kurdish leadership had "decided to be part of the new government".
Iraq's military response to a rapid advance by IS has been hampered by political chaos in Baghdad.
On 29 June, the militant group said it had created a caliphate, or Islamic state, stretching from Aleppo in Syria to the province of Diyala in Iraq.
It has declared Iraq a "Level 3 Emergency", its highest ranking of a crisis. The move should enable more resources to be directed in support of humanitarian efforts.
The UN had earlier estimated that tens of thousands of people, mostly from the Christian and Yazidi religious minorities, were besieged on the mountain after being forced to flee their homes.
But US forces sent to Mt Sinjar found fewer people than expected - partly because thousands had left the mountain each night over the past days.
Kurdish officials told the BBC's Frank Gardner that some 150,000 refugees had ended up in the northern city of Dohuk, where the local population was struggling to feed them.
Hamad, a Yazidi who managed to escape with his family, told the BBC that his mother had died during the long journey to Dohuk.
"There was no food. We were exhausted after a lot of walking and climbing high, steep roads," he said, adding that his mother eventually said she could go no further.
"We refused to leave without her. After a few hours of thirst, hunger and exhaustion, she fell and passed away."
Naz Shah, a women's rights campaigner, will stand for the party in May's General Election.
The seat is held by the Respect Party's George Galloway, who took it from Labour in a by-election in 2012.
Ms Ali, from London, stood down less than a week after being selected citing "massive disruption" to family life.
Speaking after her resignation, Ms Ali said: "I am the mother of two children and, despite my best efforts to make arrangements to bring them to Bradford for the next 70 days, particularly as one of them is doing her GCSEs, this would have caused massive disruption at a critical time."
Mr Galloway claimed the "real reason" for her withdrawal was the the "war inside Bradford West Labour Party".
In a statement following the announcement of her selection, Ms Shah said: "I'm proud to have been chosen as the Labour Party's candidate for the seat in which I was born and am proud to call home.
"I am someone with a track record of campaigning and working for grass roots change and promise that if elected I will be a visible presence for Bradford West constituents and a stark alternative to divisive figure George Galloway."
According to the Labour Party, Ms Shah is the chair of mental health charity Sharing Voices Bradford.
She previously worked as a carer for children and adults with disabilities and spent time as a NHS Commissioner and director of a regional leadership programme for local government.
During the committee stage of the Referendum Bill, Foreign Office Minister David Lidington said the amendment did "not make sense."
The Conservative politician said it was about the UK's membership so it should be about all of the UK taking a view.
The UK government will hold an in/out referendum before the end of 2017.
The SNP's foreign affairs spokesman, Alex Salmond, moved the amendment on the so-called "quadruple lock" .
He said: "In America, 14 states can block a constitutional amendment, even if they comprise only 5% of the population.
"Even the prime minister, and many of his MPs, would concede Scotland is a nation. The United Kingdom is a multi-national state."
Mr Salmond added that the matter was about more than a "simple majority across the UK" and the outcome needed to be respectful of the results in the "component nations".
However, Mr Lidington rejected Mr Salmond's argument.
Meanwhile, ministers have confirmed that the poll would not be held on 5 May 2016, the same day as elections to devolved parliaments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
They will also amend planned changes to "purdah" rules, which limit government announcements in the run-up to polls.
Ministers said voters must be assured the referendum would be a "fair fight".

They had been set to walk out in a row over pay with Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU).
Unison said the suspended strike would "allow for consideration of the board's latest offer."
The health board has been asked to comment.
About 80 staff staged a 24-hour walk-out on 25 January. Another strike due to take place on 1 February was halted.
Unison have said affected members wanted "pay parity" with colleagues doing the same job in other hospitals in Wales.

Leia McCorrisken, aged three, and her two-year-old brother Seth died in Wednesday's incident at Loch nan Druimnean in Argyll.
Iain MacKinnon, a volunteer with Oban Coastguard, said the car was submerged in deep water.
He said it was the saddest incident in his 30 years as a volunteer.
Following the crash, a 36-year-old woman who had been driving the car was understood to have been helped to shore by passers-by.
Members of the public also went into the loch, north of the village of Kilmelford, in an bid to rescue the children.
One passer-by on the A816 Oban to Lochgilphead road where the incident happened told the Press & Journal newspaper he was one of the first on the scene following the crash.
Painter and decorator Jimmy McMahon, 24, from Lochgilphead, told the newspaper: "We arrived about 10 minutes after the car had hit the water.
"I tried my best to get to the car underwater but the car was far too deep down and the water was too murky."
Firefighters arriving at the scene also tried to reach the car, followed by members of Oban Coastguard who dived down to the vehicle.
Mr MacKinnon told BBC Scotland: "There were already huge efforts to get to the car when we arrived.
"The car was in very deep water. It was submerged and it couldn't be seen from the surface.
"The guys did their best to dive down to it.
"The water is very dark because there is a lot of peat in the area. The loch is also very cold, even in summertime the temperatures are about six or seven degrees.
"Passing motorists had also tried to get to the car as well as and those efforts can only be described as heroic."
Mr MacKinnon said some of the 12-strong coastguard team at the scene were among those who scoured the shore in the hope the children had escaped from the car.
Two coastguard helicopters and an air ambulance were also involved in the searches.
Mr MacKinnon said the thoughts of everyone involved in the rescue attempts were with the children's family.
He said: "I've been a volunteer coastguard for 30 years and this was the saddest incident I've ever been involved with. It is something you hoped never to have to experience."
The team of Amy Tinkler, Ruby Harrold, Ellie Downie, Becky Downie, Claudia Fragapane and Kelly Simm finished third - behind the US and Russia but ahead of China - with eight places at the Rio Olympics in Brazil up for grabs.
"We are incredibly proud," Becky Downie said of their achievement.
"Coming in to this championships all our focus was on producing the best team results we could and to have placed third is very special."
As well as claiming the team final place, several GB gymnasts have booked places in individual finals.
15-year-old Tinkler will go in Thursday's all-around final on her senior World Championships debut along with Harrold, who will also take part in uneven bars.
Ellie Downie will challenge on vault and floor, where she will be joined by Fragapane.

The two Pixel handsets are the first mobiles to trigger Google Assistant by holding down their home buttons, somewhat like Apple's Siri.
The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones asked the Pixel project manager James Nugent why people would want to talk to their devices.
Somerset resumed day two on 30-3 but lost James Hildreth and Jim Allenby cheaply as they fell in successive balls to seamer Graham Onions.
Having been reduced to 85-7, Peter Trego then hit 45 to help them limp to 179 all out, a deficit of 77.
Jennings' ton came off 163 balls, including 15 fours, as Durham closed on 223-5, with a healthy lead of 300 runs.
The second morning belonged to former England bowler Onions, who made the breakthrough by having Hildreth caught at third slip by Ryan Pringle before Allenby missed a straight ball and fell lbw.

Roelof van der Merwe became the 33-year-old's fourth victim of the innings when he was caught behind, before a calamitous mix-up in the middle saw new Somerset captain Chris Rogers run out for 23 off the following ball.
Trego's rapid innings included five boundaries but pace bowler Brydon Carse claimed his maiden first-class wickets, including a catch return of wicketkeeper Ryan Davies, to mop up the away side's tail.
In the afternoon sun, the hosts then raced to 50 without loss off just seven overs, as Mark Stoneman hit a run-a-ball 41 before picking out Marcus Trescothick at short midwicket in Van Der Merwe's first over.
Jennings reached his century by dispatching Van der Merwe over the top to the boundary, becoming just the third Durham player (after Dean Jones and Paul Collingwood) to score tons in both innings of a first-class match.
The Bannsiders earned five straight wins in January including Premiership victories over Linfield, Portadown, Ballinamallard United and Ards.
Coleraine have since extended their winning run to seven straight games.
That was a major turnaround in fortunes after a six-game run without a victory prior to the New Year.
"I'm absolutely delighted following a disappointing December to be in this position," said Kearney.
The Bannsiders have reached the last eight of the Irish Cup, where they will face local rivals Ballymena United.
Some passengers were not treated with "dignity and respect" with waits of one to two hours to get off planes, the Civil Aviation Authority said.
Manchester, East Midlands and Exeter airports also received the low rating, but 26 airports were given a good or very good rating.
Heathrow said it was addressing the issues raised in the report.
The CAA highlighted a survey of about 1,200 passengers requiring assistance at Heathrow, where 62% rated the service poor or very poor.
The regulator said: "There have been instances of unacceptable levels of customer service where passengers' needs have not been met and, in some instances, where passengers have not been treated with dignity and respect.
"Substantive issues still exist with the quality of the assistance service provided at Heathrow."
The regulator admitted Heathrow, the UK's largest airport, had "certain challenges" like long walking distances.
But journeys for passengers with mobility issues would often take "significantly longer", and the airport's contractor Omniserv "encouraged passengers to make their own way through the airport because of a lack of staff or equipment".
Waits of up to two hours for help when getting off flights were recorded on a number of occasions, the CAA said.
The report acknowledged that management at Heathrow, alongside Omniserv, are implementing an improvement plan to reduce waiting time and service quality issues.
A spokeswoman for Omniserv said the company is "investing significant sums in staff training" and will "continue evaluating our performance... to provide the best service to all of Heathrow's passengers".
Heathrow said it was "extremely disappointed" by the CAA's findings and apologised to customers affected.
A spokesman added: "[The findings of the report] are not acceptable and fall short of the experience Heathrow aims to provide its passengers.
"Addressing the issues raised in this report is a priority for us. We apologise to those who have been affected and are taking action."
The CAA said the other airports rated poor - East Midlands, Manchester and Exeter - had not consulted disability organisations, or set up focus groups to receive feedback from service users.
East Midlands Airport also experienced "unacceptably long waiting times", according to the report.
Last year a wheelchair user was left stranded at the airport because staff had "forgotten about him".
Paddy Costello, 62, was supposed to be getting a Ryanair flight to Ireland, but his flight left without him.
At the time an airport spokesman said: "As soon as we were made aware of the situation, we reacted quickly by aiding the passengers in re-booking flights and offering an overnight stay in a premium hotel on site."
Although four airports were rated poor, the aviation regulator was encouraged to see a 66% increase in the number of travellers requiring assistance since 2010.
In 2016 three million passengers with mobility issues flew through British airports and CAA consumers director Richard Moriarty said: "UK aviation should be proud that it continues to serve a rapid increase in the number of passengers with a disability."
Birmingham, Glasgow and Glasgow Prestwick, Humberside, Inverness and Norwich airports were all rated very good.
The report said: "Norwich, in particular, has created excellent partnerships with local disability organisations, especially those representing people with 'hidden disabilities'."
The airports rated good were: Aberdeen, Belfast City, Belfast International, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, City of Derry, Doncaster Sheffield, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London City, Gatwick, Luton, Southend, Stansted, Newcastle, Newquay, Southampton and Sumburgh.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Wales, Vincent Tan says he will spend up to £25m on new players if City makes it to the Premier League, and defended the controversial re-brand which saw the shirt colours change from blue to red.
I travelled to Kuala Lumpur where I was given behind the scenes access to one of the richest men in Malaysia.
Tan made his first break when he introduced McDonald's to Malaysia in the 1980s.
A few years later he bought the country's main lottery, which remains the cash cow of his diverse business empire.
His group, which is called Berjaya, also has interests in insurance, pharmacy and property.
One of its projects is building what it claims will be the world's largest indoor shopping centre on the outskirts of Beijing called the Great Mall of China.
His investments in Cardiff have come from his private wealth.
He first put in £6m at the club after being asked by his friend Dato Chan Tien Ghee, the current chairman of Cardiff City, around three years ago.
Initially he was in the background as an investor but after loaning the club more than £30m, he decided to play a far more active role when he saw Cardiff lose in the Championship play-offs at the end of last season.
His first move was to carry out the controversial re-brand in an attempt to gain popularity in Asia.
He said: "You look at Man United and Liverpool and they are red - they are much more successful and have a bigger fan base than Chelsea or Manchester City.
"In Asia, red is the colour of joy, red is the colour of festivities and of celebration.
"In Chinese culture, blue is the colour of mourning.
"Of course it is not easy to compete with Man United or even Liverpool because they have a big fan base and they have been around so long and have won so many trophies. So far it looks tough but not impossible.
"So I would like to tell the fans we are doing a good job so give us all the support and have faith that we will do the right thing.
"Why would I want to do stupid things and put in, maybe by the end of the season, £70m in loans and investments into Cardiff and do stupid things? Do I look stupid? No.
"We want to do what is good for Cardiff and for the long-term survival, and hopefully Cardiff can be around for a long time and, God willing, be around in the Premier League."
He has not ruled out carrying out further re-brands if the club, which is currently top of the Championship, is promoted to the Premier League, but he says he has not discussed it at any length.
He also spoke openly about the possibility of renaming the Cardiff City Stadium, with the name Malaysia being added or the name of a major Asian sponsor.
But the naming rights of the stadium are wrapped up in an historic debt of £19m owed to a company called Langston which is connected to the former chairman Sam Hammam.
The club's last set of accounts show it has debts of £83m. Much of that is owed to Vincent Tan which he says he will convert to shares but will only do so once the Langston debt is dealt with.
He says he will offer the former chairman a combination of shares and money to pay off the debt and will even offer him a place on the board.
He said: "If Sam Hammam loves Cardiff City like he claims he does, he should come and sit down and convert his debt into equity to show his commitment.
"I think it's too sensitive to talk about the details but the principle is we'd like Sam Hammam to come and resolve this, and this is for the good of Cardiff.
"After all, if I had not come along and put in money, Sam Hammam would have had nothing and the club would have gone into administration.
"If I was Sam Hammam I would be grateful to someone who has put in so much money."
Tan says he has caught the football bug and often travels to the UK in his private jet to watch matches.
He says he has a good relationship with the manager Malky Mackay and enjoys going into the dressing room to speak to the players, particularly Craig Bellamy.
His son Robin and a number of his senior managers told me they all questioned his decision to buy into a football club, but say when he makes investments he usually does so for the long term.
Tan said: "If the fans welcome me and everybody welcomes me, I can stay a long time, but if I find they are not welcoming and are rude then I may find a new buyer and go off.
"But I want to say this, if I have to leave then I will leave it in good shape."
The 13-year-old is the youngest person on this year's list, which gives out special awards to people for achievements like making a difference to their community, being a volunteer for many years or being amazing at what they do for a job.
Jonjo Heuerman, from Dartford, England, has raised more than £235,000 for Cancer Research UK's Bobby Moore Fund.
"It was a big surprise, because I never thought I could get something like this at this age," Jonjo said.
"It made me feel quite proud of myself because I've worked really hard over the last five years."
Jonjo will receive his award, which is special medal, from the Queen or other members of the Royal Family at a ceremony later in 2016.
He added: "In 2009 my Nan died from bowel cancer - she had been fighting it for a very long time.
"My football hero Bobby Moore also died from it about 20 years ago, and I decided to fundraise for the Bobby Moore Fund."
The teenager has walked and cycled thousands of miles across Britain since the death of his grandmother Lyn.
Jonjo said the hardest challenge had been in February when he undertook a 700-mile cycle ride, visiting all of the Premier League football clubs in England.
He then returned to London and walked to all of the capital's Premier League clubs.
"I'm in training for the next one which is in April. I'm going to be cycling and walking from Germany all the way to the UK," Jonjo said.
Jonjo is one of nearly 1,200 people who have been named on the New Year Honours list.
The incident happened at the Scotmid shop on the town's Lochside Road at about 15:00 on Tuesday.
The white, spaniel-type dog bit the 21-year-old resulting in him having to have medical treatment at Dumfries Infirmary.
The dog was later taken away by a woman with blonde hair. Police said she may have been unaware of the incident.
A woman browses the selection of ready meals, puts one in her handbag and leaves. Scenes from a viral video - not about shoplifting but about Amazon's vision of the future of retailing.
It shows a shop which, says Amazon, is fitted out with the sort of technology which is used in self-driving cars - computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning.
The customer taps in with a smartphone on arrival, meaning the shop understands which products they have taken and later bills them via an app which has their credit card details.
Just Walk Out Shopping, as Amazon calls it, sounds like a concept for the 2020s - but the first store opens in Seattle in January 2017.
A few things strike me about the video and the oohs and aahs of delight it has provoked from the tech community.
Firstly, it does illustrate what an imaginative and ambitious company Amazon is, ready to rethink a vast industry and move at a pace which could leave the incumbents wheezing helplessly as they are left behind.
But stop one moment and ask an important question: just because a technology is feasible, does that make it either financially viable or socially desirable?
Fitting an entire shop with the technology to scan goods and people, then tagging every single product sounds expensive. With margins for food retailers wafer thin, that investment could take years to pay off.
Then there are those pesky shoppers. Of course, there will be keen early adopters - like those people you see roaming the supermarket with a scanning device, then paying at roughly the same speed as the rest of us who line up as normal at the checkout.
But the problem is that the Amazon Go outlets will welcome solely these tech savvy folks - account holders comfortable with paying automatically via their smartphone.
Everyone else who enters the store will be either unable to pay - or a shoplifter. Indeed, the technology may have to identify any person entering the store without a smartphone connected to the Amazon app as a potential thief.
Still, imagine a future where this idea takes hold and all shops are "shop and go".
Then work out how many retail checkout jobs could be wiped out - 3.5 million in the US alone according to one estimate. Add in deliveries by drone or driverless trucks, and Amazon appears to pose a threat to whole swathes of traditional jobs.
This is the kind of danger the Bank of England governor was talking about yesterday when he warned that 15 million jobs could be at risk in the UK from the advance of the robots.
Mark Carney appeared to be quoting an Oxford University study now thought to be far too gloomy about the threat to jobs - the OECD reckons the impact of automation will be about one-fifth as high as the Oxford researchers predicted.
Still, all the forecasters agree that, for all the talk of white-collar professions being threatened by the robots, it is low-skilled workers who are in most danger of being automated out of a job.
Amazon will point out that it has been a big creator of jobs, with a global workforce now approaching 270,000.
But just as Uber's army of drivers could be automated out of existence by self-driving cars, many of the workers at Amazon will be vulnerable as technology marches on.
In Seattle and London, a future where your taxi drives itself and you can walk out of a store without interacting with a checkout assistant - or even an annoying machine - sounds very attractive.
In places which rely on low-skilled work, however, that kind of tech "utopianism" risks making people even more angry about the way their world is changing.
The former Northern Ireland boss has watched them win their first ever European Championship game from afar, as he is immersed in life as a club ambassador at Fakenham Town, a club that finished 17th in the ninth tier of English football last season.
"I'll never be an artist, don't worry about that," he jokes with BBC Radio Norfolk of his painting skills.
"We are fortunate to have so many people who give up their time free of charge and it would be wrong for people like that to come in and do work and for myself, the chairman Andrew (Jarvis) not to.
"Everybody's hands on, we respect each other and what we are doing, and all want the club to go in a very positive and upward manner."
Since a spell as York City manager ended in October 2014, the 54-year-old has had a number of offers to return to the game.
But Worthington said he is much happier being hands-on in the area he has lived in ever since becoming Norwich manager in 2000 and at a club where his son used to play.
"I've been in the game for a long time, I missed my first two children growing up because of club and international commitments," he said.
"But I'm content in what I'm doing at the moment, and to give something back to football and the local community where I've lived for almost 16 years satisfies me very much."
Worthington's connections are proving very useful for the Eastern Counties League Premier Division side, with Norwich City and Premier League champions Leicester City both sending sides to Clipbush Park for pre-season friendlies this summer.
But he has a lot of work to do to make the place look "professional" before those two matches.
"I've been very lucky over many years to have had a load of people around me doing a lot of things for me, but to come in here and get my hands dirty, that's the nice thing.
"When you come up here and see the place full of more than 200 kids, and the place is being used to its maximum, it looks fantastic.
"This is very grounding. It's very humbling to see so many give up their time, and be so willing to get their hands dirty, to make the club a better place for the community."
Nigel Worthington was speaking to BBC Radio Norfolk's Chris Goreham

Stampy - real name Joseph Garrett - gave the lecture at Dundee's Caird Hall in front of 2,000 schoolchildren.
The creator of the "Let's Play" videos for Minecraft and other games has more than 6.8 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.
His lecture offered an insight into how he makes the videos.
Chris van der Kuyl, convenor of the Royal Society of Edinburgh's (RSE) young people's committee, said Stampy was one of the world's biggest stars on YouTube.
"For under-12s, Stampy's one of the biggest stars of his generation and the RSE could not believe it when he agreed to come and give our Christmas lecture this year," he said.
"In just over 250 years, this is the single biggest event in the RSE's history with the youngest lecturer ever."
Mr Van der Kuyl, who is also chairman of 4J studios that helps develop Minecraft, said the lecture would show young people how careers could be forged in industries that did not exist three or four years ago.
Stampy arrived for his pre-lecture media interviews dressed casually in jeans and a signature Stampy Cat T-shirt. His distinctive voice is instantly recognisable to millions of children - and their parents.
His channel has an average of about 150 million views a month, which has given him worldwide fame as well as considerable financial success.
But the 24-year-old, from Hampshire, told BBC Scotland the millions of video views and comments he receives are hard to relate to real life, which is why he welcomes taking part in events like the lecture.
"This is the best part of what I do. The rest of the time I'm at a computer. I'm reading comments and watching numbers but it doesn't feel like real people.
"No matter how big the numbers get, you can't think about it like when you're meeting people one-on-one and they're saying I love the thing you did last week," he said.
"That's the most rewarding part of it."
Stampy said his success was not something that "blew up" overnight, but came after many years of making and uploading videos for YouTube.
"I've been doing Minecraft videos for about three-and-a-half years and it's been a gradual slope up. I've been doing YouTube for a long time before then as well, but no-one was watching."
The 24-year-old puts the videos' continued popularity down to very careful planning. Even when they do seem "wild and crazy", Stampy said he has generally worked out the beginning, middle and end of the story he is trying to tell.
"The good thing about Minecraft is it's just a blank canvas. So for me making videos I can tell whatever story I want," he said.
"Rather than how to play the game it's about inspiring and giving ideas."
The game is being used more and more in schools as an education tool and Microsoft - who bought Minecraft in 2014 from the game's developer Mojang for $2.5bn (£1.7bn) - recently launched a site aimed at teachers to encourage its use in the classroom.
But for the 2,000 school children attending the afternoon lecture - Stampy will give a second one at 19:00 on Monday - it was all about meeting their idol, who was greeted with prolonged screams of excitement.
Ancrum Road Primary pupil Sam, who was in the audience, said: "I think he's really, really famous. I'm super-excited, I can't wait till the show starts. This is a dream come true."
Stampy is reluctant to reveal what his next big project would be, saying only that he and his girlfriend Bethany Bates - known as Squaishey on YouTube - had "lots of plans".
In a comment on the popularity of his videos which could equally apply to his career in a new digital age, he added: "There isn't a script. I'm not reading a script."
The RSE's Christmas lecture will be shown exclusively on the BBC iPlayer on Thursday.
The star has been knighted for services to drama and the community in Northern Ireland.
Branagh, who returns to TV screens in detective series Wallander next month, called the honour "very touching".
He is also preparing to direct actor Chris Pine in a film about author Tom Clancy's fictional hero Jack Ryan.
Branagh told the BBC about his latest project, returning to the role of detective Kurt Wallander, and how he feels about being called "Sir Kenneth".
What does this honour mean to you?
It would be amazing at any time, but in this Jubilee year it feels very special and absolutely fantastic. So many people are pleased for me and pleased about it.
It seems to me a tribute to everybody that I've worked with and learnt from, over 30 years of making films and being involved with British theatre and film and television. It's very special.
You have received an honour that has been given to some acting greats - how does that feel?
I started being interested in acting when I heard the voices of Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud and Sir Alec Guinness. I've had the great privilege of working with Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Anthony Hopkins. These are people who inspire the work that I do.
Having first encountered that kind of actor when I was 15, from a long-playing record in the school English cupboard, to be at this point where you can be, in some way, amongst their number, it's a very humbling thing.
There are some amazing stories from all over this country, where people's work and contribution has been acknowledged. To be part of that is an absolutely fantastic feeling.
In the past you have been recognised by the Oscars and by Bafta. How does this compare
It's pretty special. The Queen has been on the throne for my entire life, and there are so many family occasions and national occasions where she's been there, setting this incredible example with stamina and interest.
I've had the privilege of meeting her on a number of occasions and her ability to listen, her concentration, her knowledge, her understanding of what people like I try to do, in the film industry or in the theatre, is pretty remarkable. So to be part of a moment in a great celebratory year for her feels wonderful.
For your next project you are directing an adaptation of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, another character who has received an honorary knighthood. Will you be able to bring some personal insight now?
[laughs] Jack Ryan is a great big movie we are very privileged to be able to start at Pinewood very shortly. He's played by Chris Pine, a terrific young actor who was in the recent Star Trek.
I think I'm going to have some fun saying, "well yes, do you know he received an honorary knighthood? Chris, I'm going to tell you a little bit about how that feels." A little method instruction, I think that might be a fun day's rehearsal.
And then you are back for a third series of BBC One's Scandinavian detective series Wallander in July?
Yes, we've done three 90-minute films. I wish I could tell you that his life becomes sunnier and shinier, for those who know him to be a rather haunted figure. He does get the opportunity for some brightness and sunshine, but because it's a very gripping and dark tale by Henning Mankell, and a great script by Peter Harness, it does turn in the way that I think people might expect, and I hope that they will enjoy.
It's a wonderful character to play and it's a great opportunity to go to a staggeringly beautiful part of Sweden, and visit Mankell's amazing forensic mind for crime and all the psychological side effects that it has on people like this amazing chief inspector.
We've recently become fascinated with detective stories from that part of the world, but you were one of the first. Why do you think it has exploded like this?
People like to see crime in dark places, where people who are obsessive about solving such crimes can become very magnetic. Wallander was, via Henning Mankell's novels, one of the first people to cast a spell. He puts a soulful, rather troubled man in the middle of a very spectacular, very atmospheric landscape and then he introduces him to dark things.
So he makes for a very complex crime puzzle, but perhaps an even more complicated emotional puzzle. We like what the Scandinavians do with that, we still seem to be fascinated and Wallander, I hope, will keep people intrigued this summer.
Sir Kenneth Branagh was speaking to BBC entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba.
The Investigatory Powers Bill will force the storage of internet browsing records for 12 months and authorise the bulk collection of personal data.
Mrs May said the measures were needed to keep the public safe and would uphold "both privacy and security".
Labour and the SNP said they backed the bill in principle but would withdraw support without substantial changes.
Labour's stance was branded "gutless" by the Lib Dems, who oppose the legislation.
The bill's second reading - where it was backed by 281 votes to 15 - gave MPs their first chance to debate it in the House of Commons. It represented an early step in a long parliamentary process which will see the details of the measures scrutinised at greater length over the coming months.
Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham said Labour would work constructively with Mrs May to get the legislation through Parliament but that "substantial changes" were needed to ensure the right balance "between collective security and individual privacy in the digital age".
Labour abstained at second reading and will be seeking amendments including a specific "presumption of privacy".
"We need new legislation but this bill is not yet good enough," he said. "Simply to block this legislation would, in my view, be irresponsible. It would leave the police and security services in limbo... We must give them the tools to do the job."
The proposals have already been significantly amended after a draft bill last year was heavily criticised by three parliamentary committees.
The government may be forced to give further ground if it is to get the law on to the statute book by the end of the year as it wants, although it is not expected to meet significant resistance until the bill reaches report stage and then goes to the House of Lords.
Mr Burnham called for the use of surveillance powers to be limited to more serious investigations and for greater clarity on who can use them.
He said he did not see why agencies such as the Gambling Commission or the Food Standards Agency should have access to people's internet records, and said he would be calling on Mrs May to "severely reduce" the list of agencies who would get the new powers.
He also called for an independent review of "bulk powers" - the sweeping up of vast quantities of internet data and the collection of personal information from databases by the security services.
"I want a bill that helps the authorities do their job but protects ordinary people from intrusion and abuse from those in positions of power," he added.
Mrs May has said Britain's spies must continue to be allowed to hack into foreign computer networks, under so-called "bulk equipment interference warrants", as this was "a key operational requirement for GCHQ".
She told MPs that bulk powers had played a significant role in every major counter-terrorism investigation over the past decade, including seven terror plots foiled in the past 18 months, and in responding to the bulk of cyber attacks against UK interests.
Operational requests for such information, she said, would have to be approved by a judge as well as the minister responsible under a regime of "robust and consistent safeguards".
But Conservative MP Owen Paterson, a former Northern Ireland secretary, said elected politicians accountable to Parliament and the public should be exclusively responsible for granting warrants.
The SNP said they were in favour of "targeted surveillance" but many of the powers being sought were of "dubious legality".
"We will work with others to try and amend the bill extensively," Joanna Cherry, the party's home affairs spokeswoman, said. "If the bill is not amended to our satisfaction, we reserve the right to vote it down at a later stage."
The Lib Dems blocked Mrs May's previous attempt to legislate in this area, which was dubbed "the snoopers' charter", when they were part of the coalition government.
Speaking in the debate, former leader Nick Clegg said the bill was an improvement on previous proposals but was "not in a fit state" - telling MPs that it was still predicated on a "dragnet approach" to data retention and the powers it sought to grant were "formidable and capable of misuse".
"The implications of this are very big indeed," he said.
"It is that the government believes as a matter of principle that every innocent act of communication online must leave a trace for future possible interrogation by the state. No other country in the world feels the need to do this apart from Russia."
UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe told the BBC's Daily Politics he was "deeply concerned" by the Investigatory Powers Bill, saying it "could put us into an extreme position of monitoring our citizens".
Edward Snowden, the former CIA analyst turned surveillance whistleblower, said he was closely following Tuesday's debate. He tweeted: "Britons, note how your MPs vote today on IPBill. A vote in favour, or abstention, is a vote against you. "
And Amnesty International warned that "wide-ranging snooping powers" were being rushed through parliament at "break-neck speed".
The class action suit, one of the largest in Australia, began in 2010.
Some 43,500 customers claimed the lending giant had charged them "exorbitant fees".
In February 2014, Australia's Federal Court found in partial favour of the customers - a ruling now overturned.
Last year's initial ruling had said that some credit card fees were "extravagant, exorbitant and unconscionable", but also that some other fees the lender had charged were reasonable.
That 2014 ruling meant ANZ would have been liable for a huge financial payout. However, in a unanimous move, the federal court on Wednesday overturned the earlier decision.
"Our long-standing position has been these fees were lawful and we're pleased this has been vindicated by the Full Federal Court," said ANZ's chief executive for Australia, Mark Whelan.
"We were particularly pleased the court found there was no dishonesty on ANZ's part and these avoidable fees were fairly and fully disclosed and there was no lack of good faith by ANZ."
The ANZ class action has been funded by IMF Bentham on a no-win no-fee basis, while law firm Maurice Blackburn has been representing the plaintiffs.
IMF Bentham, one of the world's oldest litigation funders, said it was likely an appeal would now be launched in Australia's High Court.
Maurice Blackburn's head of class actions, Andrew Watson, said via a statement that legal advisors "would be reviewing the judgement with a view to making application for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia".
"There is a public interest in having these issues resolved by Australia's highest court," Mr Watson said.
ANZ was the first of eight major lenders to go to court as part of a case begun in 2010 involving more than 185,000 customers. The banks involved in the broader class action suit include Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, Westpac and Citibank. | (Close) The UK stock market fell sharply, together with other European markets, with mining firms suffering after commodity prices declined.

A leaked recording of top Trump adviser Paul Manafort's presentation to Republican Party insiders in Florida reveals that the kinder, gentler Donald Trump on display following his dominating New York primary win is a deliberate strategy.
"The part he's been playing is evolving," Manafort said.
Gone were the petty insults. Missing was the relentless immigrant bashing. In its place was a focus on his economic message, boasts about the breadth of his support and a more humble call to arms.
"Tomorrow, we go back to work," Mr Trump concluded.
Of course, old habits die hard, and the following day at rallies in Indiana and Maryland Mr Trump sounded a bit more like his old self. Ted Cruz was "Lyin' Ted" once more, and he revelled in the crowd's chants to "build the wall" along the US-Mexico border.
During a television interview, however, Mr Trump shed some additional light on his changing demeanour. During the rough-and-tumble, crowded primary process, he said, he had to mix it up with his fellow candidates.
"If I didn't, if I acted very presidential, I wouldn't be sitting up here today, somebody else might be," he said. "It wouldn't be me."
He said, however, that a change is coming "very soon".
"At the right time, I will be so presidential, you will be so bored," he said. "You will say, 'Can he have a little bit more energy?' But I know when to be presidential."
(Somewhere out there, Jeb "low energy" Bush must be laughing through his tears.)
For the remaining three months before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland - and beyond - Mr Trump will have to walk a fine line. Authentic but controlled. A rebel who knows how to play nice.
Can he pivot without losing his balance? It depends how three groups respond to Mr Trump's efforts, which will include detailed policy speeches over the coming weeks and fewer late-night Twitter dust-ups and talk-show taunting.
Mr Trump's legions have seen their candidate relentlessly savaged by his competitors, media commentators and independent attack advertisements.
They've watched as Mr Trump has occasionally tied himself in knots over issues like abortion, appeared hopelessly out-of-his-depth during detailed foreign policy questioning, and expressed views on the Iraq War and Planned Parenthood that usually constitute conservative heresy.
And yet his base level of support has remained remarkably stable.
"I have the most loyal people," Mr Trump said in January. "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters."
For his dedicated followers, Mr Trump is unassailable. They have an extreme distrust of the Republican Party establishment and the media (which they regularly heckle during Trump campaign rallies). So a few articles in the Washington Post and the New York Times revealing that the bellicose, unfiltered Donald Trump of the primary season is nothing more than a "persona" will likely be met with a shrug.
Mr Trump's pivot could have problems, but his supporters aren't among them.
There was a point during the Republican primary campaign, shortly after Mr Trump's dominating wins in the 1 March Super Tuesday states and two weeks later in Florida, where the Republican Party seemed to be making peace with the prospect of a Donald Trump nomination.
Then a combination of candidate excesses and campaign rally violence caused the party powers to have second (third and fourth) thoughts.
Mr Trump's new campaign team, with Manafort in charge, is trying to undo that damage.
The reality is that the Republican establishment - including both the committed and uncommitted delegates who will be in the hall at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland - don't have to love Donald Trump, but they have to at least be able to live with him.
If Mr Trump spends the next two months as he has the last six, barrelling through the news cycles with one outlandish controversy after another, they may find justification to deny him the nomination even though he will likely end the primary season with hundreds more delegates and millions more votes than second-place Cruz.
Poll numbers showing him being destroyed by Democrat Hillary Clinton and scuttling the hopes of his down-ballot Republicans will just add fuel to the fire.
"The negatives are going to come down, the image is going to change," Manafort assured the Republicans gathered in Florida.
Mr Trump has to finish strong and win as many delegates as he can in the remaining primary contests, but if he falls short of 1,237 pledged delegates, as he is likely to do, this perception campaign could be decisive.
Mr Trump has his die-hard supporters. He also has an insurmountable lead in the Republican delegate count and popular vote that will make it difficult, and extremely messy, to deny him the party's nomination.
But what about the American people? Mr Trump's rebranding attempts will be for naught if he can't convince a wide swath of the public that views him with scepticism bordering on disdain to give him another chance.
The current outlook is gloomy. In the latest NBC News poll, 65% of respondents had a negative view of the Republican front-runner versus only 24% who saw him positively. Hillary Clinton, by contrast, had a 56-32 negative-to-positive split.
Manafort, however, explained that the Democrat's negatives were more durable than those of his candidate.
"Fixing personality negatives is a lot easier than fixing character negatives," he said. "You can't change somebody's character. But you can change the way somebody presents themselves."
It's a tall mountain to climb, but one the Mr Trump has surmounted once already. When he first announced his candidacy, the New Yorker's prospects were roundly dismissed because of high negatives within his own party. In past presidential contests, no candidate - particularly one as well-known as Mr Trump - had been able turn around such ratings and find electoral success.
History, it turned out, was a lousy guide. In a few months Mr Trump was finding support across a wide swath of the Republican Party - moderates and ultra-conservatives, evangelicals and Tea Party seculars.
It was an unprecedented transformation.
Now Mr Trump and his team are seeking another transformation. It seems far-fetched, but campaigns aren't conducted in a vacuum. He doesn't have to be great. He doesn't have to be adored. He just has to get more votes than his Democratic opponent.
And Donald Trump is now taking steps to tone down the rhetoric and put himself in a position to make that happen.
The US had proposed a travel ban and asset freeze on army chief Paul Malong and rebel general Johnson Olony for continuing to fuel conflict.
The Russian ambassador to the UN said sanctions might aggravate the situation, AP news agency reports.
Fighting has continued in South Sudan despite last month's peace deal.
Both sides signed the agreement to end the 20 months of conflict under intense regional and international pressure.
The fighting between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar has forced more than 2.2 million people from their homes in the world's youngest state, which broke away from Sudan in 2011.
At least seven ceasefires have been agreed and then shattered - and US diplomats want to maintain the pressure to ensure the most recent deal succeeds.
Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said he felt sanctions were not the solution after his country's talks with the foreign ministers of South Sudan and Sudan.
"The United States, very often they just say: 'Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions', and in some cases it severely aggravates the situation," AP quotes him as saying.
According to the Reuters news agency, Venezuela also requested that the sanctions proposal be put on hold.
A hold does not mean the proposal is dead, but it delays its consideration, the agency reports.
Angola wanted to give the parties more time to implement the peace deal, it said.
Fighting broke out in South Sudan in December 2013 after President Kiir accused former Vice-President Machar of plotting a coup.
Mr Machar denied the charges, but then mobilised a rebel force to fight the government.
On Tuesday, President Kiir reiterated his reservations about the deal in a televised national address as both sides accuse the other of breaching the ceasefire.
He again listed points such as the demilitarisation of the capital, Juba, and the appointment of a foreigner to monitor the agreement as "a violation of sovereignty".
However, he did express his commitment to the agreement.
Nottinghamshire's Clipstone headstocks - believed to be among the tallest ever built - have been debated since the pit closed in 2003.
A plan to use the Grade-II listed structures as the centrepiece of an activity centre will be submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Supporters said the £25m scheme would bring investment to a deprived area.
Despite calls for them to be demolished, the Save Clipstone Colliery Headstocks group has spent years building support for plans to convert the surviving buildings into a sports and leisure hub.
Boasting a mile-long, 100-mph zip wire, tethered parachute jumps and indoor skydiving, the centre is transform the area into a tourist destination, campaigners said.
Denise Barraclough, from the group, said: "This has the potential to be a major part of a big tourist offering in the East Midlands, it has been compared to an Eden Project for the East Midlands.
"With an enterprise zone for businesses and an area for affordable housing, it benefits the area in several ways."
After meetings with Heritage Lottery Fund officials, the group is submitting an initial bid for money to support surveys, business plans and feasibility studies.
It is hoped an application for full funding could be finalised later this year.
Dr David Amos, who studies the cultural impact of mining said: "It's an important time to consider the social impact of coal mining.
"The generation which was directly worked down the mines is getting older and what happens now will help determine how it is remembered."
The flats are in Poundbury village in Dorset, the architectural project of Prince Charles.
The eight properties are within Strathmore House, which was named after the late Queen Mother's family.
Designed in the neo-classical style, it boasts a central portico and Corinthian columns similar to Buckingham Palace.
Sam Cook, the manager of Parkers Property Consultants, which marketed the scheme, said all the flats sold out earlier this summer.
"We haven't had to do much. They've sold themselves," she said. "They've flown off the shelves."
However she denied that the architects, Quinlan and Francis Terry, had based the design on the Queen's London residence.
"It wasn't supposed to look like Buckingham Palace. It wasn't their intention," she told the BBC.
Kim Slowe, the managing director of the building's developers, ZeroC, said any similarity to Buckingham Palace was coincidental.
"Everything they build has a classical style, so everything tends to look like Buckingham Palace," he said.
Instead the design is said to be based on a building in Switzerland.
The flats ranged in price from £575,000 to £750,000. See inside them here.

More than 45 firefighters were needed to contain the blaze, in Hillmans Fancy on Friday night, and prevent it from spreading to six oil tankers.
Firefighters initially used unmanned external jets to tackle the fire.
There are no reports of any injuries and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
Fire crews from Coleraine were supported by others from Portrush, Portstewart, Ballymoney and Kilrea during the operation.
William McCance, 57, from Baillieston, first abused the girl at a house in the city when she was aged nine in 1984 and continued until 1991.
McCance was also convicted of sexually abusing the girl's brother when he was aged between seven and eight.
The High Court in Glasgow heard the girl only revealed her ordeal years later when she contacted the NSPCC.
In evidence, her brother denied making up stories about McCance, who ran a car parts shop in the city.
He said: "I've spent my life trying to forget what he did to me."
Judge Lord Burns heard how McCance still protested his innocence.
In a pre-sentencing report, McCance claimed the accusations came as a "shock" and that he had "no idea why they made these allegations".
But Lord Burns told him: "These activities have caused incalculable harm.
"You accept no responsibility and show no remorse."
An NSPCC Scotland spokesman said the sentence would hopefully "send out a strong message that these types of offences will not be tolerated".
The spokesman added: "McCance's despicable crimes will have had devastating effects on his young victims.
"It is right that McCance has been brought to justice for his past actions as a result of the enormous bravery of the victim who contacted the NSPCC helpline.
"Child abuse allegations must always be pursued. It is crucial victims of abuse have the confidence to speak out knowing that their allegations will be fully investigated no matter how long ago the offences took place.
"We hope this case will also encourage others to speak out knowing they will be listened to, believed, and provided with appropriate advice and support."
The centre's director wrote to France's interior minister to request the removal of "this genocidal name".
In his letter, Shimon Samuels suggested the hamlet's name dated as far back as the 11th Century.
But local officials in the hamlet have dismissed any concerns over the name.
The hamlet comes under the jurisdiction of the village of Courtemaux, located some 100km (60 miles) south of Paris.
The director of the US-based Jewish organisation expressed shock at discovering "the existence of a village in France officially named 'La Mort aux Juifs", in a letter to Interior Minister Bernard Cazenave.
"It is extremely shocking that this name has slipped under the radar in the 70 years that have passed since France was liberated from Nazism and the (pro-Nazi) Vichy regime," Mr Samuels wrote.
Requesting the name change, Mr Samuels said "the current surge in public and violent expressions of anti-Semitism makes us uneasy regarding the motives of those seeking to reside at such an address".
He said the name could have been in existence since the Crusader pogroms that led to the expulsion of France's Jews in 1306.
But the deputy mayor of Courtemaux, Marie-Elizabeth Secretand, appeared to downplay any concerns over the name, telling Agence France-Presse news agency: "It's ridiculous. This name has always existed."
"No one has anything against the Jews, of course. It doesn't surprise me that this is coming up again," she added.
It is not the first time the hamlet has come under the spotlight. An anti-racism group lobbied the government to get the name changed in 1992 but was unsuccessful, AFP reports.
France has one of Europe's largest Jewish communities, totalling about 500,000.
But it has seen a rise in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, spurred on by the recent flare up of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
India accused Pakistan of shelling 40 border posts and 25 villages since Monday night.
Pakistan is yet to respond to the latest allegations.
This is being seen as one of the worst flare-ups since the 2003 ceasefire deal between the neighbours.
Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and the South Asian rivals have fought two wars and a limited conflict over the region.
On Monday, Delhi said five of its civilians died in firing from Pakistan, while Islamabad said four of its civilians died in firing from the Indian side.
The hostilities continued through the night into Tuesday but Indian officials said "the intensity of firing has been very low compared to the previous night".
"Pakistan forces fired at 40 Indian army posts early on Tuesday," Reuters quoted Uttam Chand, a police official, as saying. "Indian forces retaliated with gunfire and mortar bombs," he said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan accused India of starting the latest round of hostilities and Pakistan's foreign ministry said it had lodged a protest with Indian diplomats over the killings of its civilians.
In August India cancelled talks with Pakistan after accusing it of interfering in its internal affairs.
Last month, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first speech at the UN, said he wanted peace talks with Pakistan but insisted it must create an "appropriate atmosphere".
The spinner missed the chance to make his England debut in 2015 after dislocating his left thumb and injured the same finger in May this year.
Ansari, 24, has claimed 22 wickets at 31 apiece in the Championship in 2016.
"They've shown a lot of trust in me," he told BBC Sport. "I'm really grateful to them for that."
"After a tough 12 months with injury and missing out, it's really nice to be back in there," added Ansari, who joins Lancashire's Haseeb Hameed and Northamptonshire's Ben Duckett as three uncapped players for the October tour.
"England have looked after me well, they kept me positive. Hopefully I can repay that."
England play three one-day internationals in Bangladesh, starting on 7 October, followed by a two-Test series from 20 October.
Ansari will have the familiar face of Surrey captain Gareth Batty on tour with him in Bangladesh, with his fellow spinner set for an England return 11 years after his last Test.
Batty, 38, said of Ansari: "I've gone on record before and I don't change my stance. I think he's the best young spinner in the country.
"It was bitterly disappointing last year for the lad to break his thumb as he did and it continued being a problem for a while.
"Hopefully this is a sustained period where he can hold his fitness and forge a career with England and Surrey."
The most recent of Batty's seven Tests came against Bangladesh in 2005, while his last international game was a one-day match in March 2009 against West Indies in Barbados.
He has 41 championship wickets this season and, alongside Ansari, is one of four England spinners in the Test squad - Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid are the other two.
Batty, who turns 39 in October, said: "It's a wonderful honour. Your country comes calling, you say 'where, when, I'm there'. It doesn't matter if you're 15 or 16 on your first tour or you're knocking on the door at 40 like me."
Before he can add to his 11 Test wickets, though, Batty will lead Surrey out at Lord's on Saturday for the One-Day Cup final against Warwickshire.
"We get Saturday out of the way and for a brief period I'll turn my attention to making sure I'm right for a trip away with England," he added.
"If I can help England in any way shape or form, I'm all over it."
The diners tucked into their brisket, ribs and mac 'n' cheese while glued to the television.
It seemed like an appropriate place to watch the political face-off between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
"Pinche Gringo" could not be a more Mexican expression. The polite form would translate as "bloody American" in English. The more coarse version I will leave to your imagination. But it's a sentiment that is felt by many here in Mexico.
During the debate, there were cheers when words such as "Mexico", "immigrant" and "wall" were mentioned. The third debate didn't disappoint in this respect - immigration, crime and drugs were all topics that came up.
While the crowd had its fair share of American citizens, there were also many Mexicans who had come along to watch. Student Carlos Brown was one of them.
"There's too much at play to ignore it," the 28-year-old says.
Carlos was there because he's a politics student but also because there are big issues that worry him - not just the infamous wall but also trade deals that could have a big impact on Mexico.
His friend Paulina agrees. She doesn't think these elections stop at Donald Trump. A Hillary Clinton win would be "symbolically very important" she tells me.
In a world where men rule, especially in macho Mexico, seeing a woman represent one of the world's most powerful democracies would do a huge amount of good.
The interest in US politics among Mexicans is new - and a positive side-effect of this year's elections, according to Jorge Castaneda, Mexico's former foreign minister.
It is no longer just politicians, journalists and academics who are paying attention to politics north of the border.
"This time there has really been widespread interest reaching across all sectors of society and this is thanks to Trump," he says.
"In a sense it's a very positive development because practically no country in the world with the possible exception of Israel is as affected by what happens in the US as Mexico is."
But there are negatives that have emerged too.
"We thought the bigotry, the racism, the xenophobia, the nativism, all those horrible trends, were part of American society but only on the fringe - a minority," says renowned Mexican historian and writer Enrique Krauze.
"But that minority is a huge minority - 40%. I have no doubt that a lot of damage has been done and it will take many, many years - perhaps a generation [to repair]."
Among the Mexicans I met at Pinche Gringo, some recently studied in the US. They may have had a legal right to be there but they still felt discriminated against.
"Just imagine what undocumented migrants feel like," says Atenea Rosado, a 26-year-old who was, until January, studying human rights education at Columbia in New York.
The overwhelming hope here in Mexico is that Hillary Clinton will win. But even then, the country's relationship with the US may continue to be strained.
"There is going to be a great deal of anti-Mexican feeling in the US on the part of Trump supporters," says Jorge Castaneda.
"They are not going to be happy campers when they lose, especially if they lose overwhelmingly and especially if Trump convinces them that the election was rigged. They will take some of that out against Mexicans."
Beyond the wall, immigration reform and revision of trade accords like the North American Free Trade Agreement could still be up for discussion.
"You will have a Democratic majority in the Senate, maybe in the House. These people are clearly anti-Trans-Pacific Partnership and pro-Nafta revision, they are not big supporters of further integration and there will be some real issues there," says Mr Castaneda.
But he does see one positive.
"Obama has been soft on human rights in Mexico and I think Hillary will be tougher and I think that will be a very good thing," he says.
While many Mexicans see the elections as having damaged the relationship between the two countries, Prof Silvia Nunez Garcia, from the Centre for North American Research at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, thinks otherwise.
"We are using a very negative approach to what is happening. I really think we need to look outside the box," she says.
"First of all, we Mexicans should not be interfering in domestic politics in the US - that used to be one of our most valuable principals in foreign policy. Now we do exactly the opposite.
"There will be consequences for these actions. But the situation in the US is giving us a huge opportunity to be self-critical."
She says: "Our relationship with America is a very contradictory one. We tend to say it's love-hate and this is because we do not know each other really."
The message is that these elections could prove an opportunity to get to know other countries and make new friends instead.

Gerrard was introduced for Adam Lallana at the start of the second half with United deservedly leading through Juan Mata's early goal - but was gone almost as quickly after following up a thunderous tackle on the goalscorer with a reckless reaction to a challenge with a clear stamp on Ander Herrera.
It was inexcusable behaviour from a player of Gerrard's experience, having just been handed the responsibility by manager Brendan Rodgers of getting an underperforming Liverpool side back into the game.
Mata emphasised the folly of Gerrard's red card when he added a second with a sensational volley just before the hour to confirm United's superiority in a game that confirmed the impression that manager Louis van Gaal is now getting the sort of performances and results he demands.
Daniel Sturridge pulled a goal back to give Liverpool hope of an unlikely comeback but the visitors were never seriously threatened again and could even afford the luxury of Wayne Rooney seeing an injury-time penalty saved by Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet.
United built on last Sunday's impressive 3-0 win against Tottenham to extend their lead to five points over Liverpool, who are a place behind in fifth.

And the magnitude of the win was emphasised by the sight of manager Van Gaal joining his players as they celebrated with their fans in the Anfield Road end at the final whistle.
The game ended in more acrimony after a challenge by Reds defender Martin Skrtel on United keeper David De Gea - but nothing could diminish United's joy at a fully deserved win against a home side who paid the price for a poor first-half performance and a moment of sheer recklessness from Gerrard.
The 34-year-old, who announced in January that he was leaving Anfield in the summer after joining the Reds aged nine, will now serve a three-game ban.
The hosts have made a fast start their trademark at Anfield under Rodgers - but United turned the tables comprehensively and fully merited the lead given to then when Herrera slipped in Mata superbly for a composed finish in front of the Kop.
The visitors' tempo meant Liverpool were getting no joy in midfield or attack, where Sturridge cut an isolated figure and Raheem Sterling was pushed to the periphery on the right flank.
Sturridge did, however, set up Liverpool's best chance of the half when he played in Lallana with a clear sight of goal. The former Southampton man took aim before sending a side-footed finish wastefully wide.
Lallana was the player sacrificed for the brief introduction of Gerrard, who hinted at his approach with a thunderous challenge on Mata, followed seconds later with another tangle involving Herrera.

For a player of such vast experience, Gerrard's reaction - appearing to stamp on his opponent on the ground - was only going to end one way, with a deserved red card.
Liverpool's fans were furious, especially when Phil Jones escaped with a yellow card for a wild lunge on Jordan Henderson - and their mood darkened further when United added a brilliant second after 58 minutes.
Angel Di Maria, on as a substitute for the limping Ashley Young, lifted the ball into the area for Mata to deposit a brilliant low finish past keeper Simon Mignolet with an acrobatic scissor kick.
Liverpool had actually responded well to Gerrard's dismissal and kept the game alive with more than 20 minutes left when Sturridge beat De Gea with a shot at his near post that the normally impeccable United keeper should have dealt with much better.
The final drama came with that missed Rooney penalty after Emre Can fouled Daley Blind, but fortunately for Rooney it was not to prove expensive.
Mr Smith was appearing as the first witness in the trial of Mr Whyte, who is accused of a fraudulent acquisition of Rangers.
Mr Whyte faces two charges relating to the purchase of Rangers, one of fraud and another under the Companies Act.
He has pleaded not guilty to both allegations.
Giving evidence to Mr Whyte's defence QC, Donald Findlay at the High Court in Glasgow, Walter Smith said the club had a bank overdraft of about £18m in 2011 when he first heard that Craig Whyte would be its new owner.
Walter Smith spent two spells as manager at Ibrox before leaving three days after Craig Whyte took over ownership in 2011.
He acknowledged that Rangers' finances were "distressing" at the time and said a lack of investment or development in new talent had impacted on the club's performance.
Mr Findlay asked him: "Around the period in 2011, did you know how bad things were financially at Rangers?"
Mr Smith said: "Not exactly, because we had had success over the period which I felt was helping the club lower the level of debt that it had, the exact amount I couldn't tell you."
Mr Findlay asked whether the club had been given an indication from the bank that it "had had enough of bank-rolling Rangers".
"Yes, we had an indication of that prior to 2011," he said.
Also giving evidence was former Rangers star player Ally McCoist, who took over management duties from Walter Smith in 2011.
Mr McCoist, who described himself as a "football analyst", told the court that he was aware of pressure being put on Rangers over its debts.
However, he said he was unaware the club had a bank overdraft of £18m and thought the figure was more like £14m.
Mr McCoist told how he first met Mr Whyte during a "brief encounter" at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel.
The former Rangers striker revealed how he later had discussions with Mr Whyte after he took over the club.
Prosecutor Mr Prentice asked the 54 year-old if he had "difficulties" in boosting the squad.
Mr McCoist said: "Yes, there were a number of players we would have liked to have got.
"Grant Holt at Norwich and a lad who played in Israel - Hemed.
"But, I just felt the offers being made were certainly not realistic enough for a chance to get the players."
Mr McCoist admitted signings were made but not, in his opinion, ones which kept the team at the "same standard".
He also agreed that he had "no discussions" with Mr Whyte about the terms of his contract when he took over as manager.
Craig Whyte is accused of pretending to former Rangers owner Sir David Murray, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments to acquire a "controlling and majority stake" in the club.
The funds included clearing an £18m bank debt, £2.8m for the "small tax case" liability, a £1.7m health-and-safety liability and £5m for the playing squad.
The Crown alleges 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 season ticket sales "which was held subject to an agreement or agreements being entered into between the club and Ticketus after said acquisition".
The second charge under the Companies Act centres on the £18m payment between Mr Whyte's Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a Bank of Scotland debt.
The trial before eight men and seven women continues.
Tennis Australia confirmed on Friday it would no longer offer "on-court signage" to the betting agency.
The ads were criticised in January after the BBC and BuzzFeed revealed evidence of widespread match-fixing at the top level of world tennis.
William Hill was not implicated in the match-fixing allegations.
However, the scandal renewed criticism of the betting agency's deal in 2015 to become the Australian Open's "official betting partner".
Anti-gambling campaigners said the agreement represented a problematic deepening of ties between large bookmakers and the sport.
Richard Heaselgrave, a Tennis Australia executive, confirmed the advertisements had been cut.
"We have discussions with all our partners each year to amend their rights and benefits," he told the BBC. "William Hill won't have on-court signage for 2017."
Senator Nick Xenophon, who previously called for Tennis Australia to cut its "unprecedented ties" with the bookmaker, expressed cautious optimism about the decision.
"It's a welcome step provided there's no sting in the tale," the anti-gambling politician told the BBC.
"Ultimately I want to see an end to all gambling sponsorship at sporting events because so many children are exposed to it."
Australia has the world's highest gambling loss per head, according to UK consultancy H2 Gambling Capital, with Australians losing an average of A$1500 (£900; $1130) a year.
Dr Sally Gainsbury, from the University of Sydney, said the increase in gambling promotions at major sporting events was a concern for the community.
"Sports betters are more likely to say they are influenced by advertisers... because they have more difficulty controlling themselves," she said.
"The other concerns we have in relation to these sporting events is the exposure and normalisation of gambling behaviour to a wide population."
"That's what we're really concerned about, the next-generation effect, where young people might grow up thinking that betting is just a normal part of watching sport."
William Hill has been contacted for comment.

The Romano-Gothic St Magnus Cathedral, built from red and yellow sandstone, is of international significance.
The foundations were placed in 1137, and the building - dedicated to Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney - took about 300 years to build.
A team from York-based IIC Technologies has been brought in to carry out the work in Kirkwall.
It will not only produce a detailed image of the building inside and out, but also help in future monitoring of its condition.
And 3D models of the cathedral will also be used as part of a major new exhibition within the Orkney Museum.
The 33-year-old suffered serious facial injuries during the attack, which took place at about 22:00 on Friday in the vicinity of Dick Crescent, Burntisland.
He was taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, but was released following treatment.
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward, particularly anyone who recorded the incident on mobile phones.
Jon Rudd says the Plymouth-based Lithuanian has recovered well after breaking her elbow in a cycle accident.
The 18-year-old will have surgery on Tuesday to remove a plate that was inserted in her arm after the crash.
"The times that she's been doing in training have been first class," Rudd told BBC South West.

She took silver at the 2015 World Championships in Kazan and is the world record holder at 50m and 100m breaststroke.
The plate that was inserted in her arm in September has been rubbing on her tendon and the operation to remove it will see her out of the water for up to two and a half weeks.
"I'm really looking forward to January and February once she's right back to where she needs to be and we can do everything we need to do without her having any discomfort," added Rudd.
"There's no doubt in my mind that Ruta can be as good as she was, not just in London, but as good as she was in Barcelona when she broke the world record.
"That's what we're looking for, getting back to being on top of the world. We want to be looking for another world record, that's for sure."
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, he said his country would "take whatever measures are necessary to maintain credible deterrence".
Tensions between India and Pakistan have increased in recent weeks with violent protests against Indian rule in the disputed Kashmir region.
On Sunday, militants killed 18 Indian soldiers at a base in the region.
India accused Pakistan of masterminding the deadliest attack on security forces in the region in two decades.
Both countries claim all of Muslim-majority Kashmir in its entirety but only control parts of it.
Mr Sharif said Pakistan was "committed to the establishment of strategic stability in the region" and did not want an "arms race with India".
He accused India of placing unacceptable conditions on any talks.
Bridget Jones's Baby, says the Mirror's David Edwards, is "a laughathon" that fans should "watch at all costs".
Renee Zellweger plays Helen Fielding's perennial singleton for the third time in the film, which this time sees its scatty heroine become pregnant.
Zellweger joined co-stars Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey at Monday's launch.
The pair play romantic partners of Zellweger's character, either of whom could be the father of her unborn child.
Emma Thompson and pop star Ed Sheeran also appear in the film, which is out in the UK on 16 September.
According to The Guardian, Bridget Jones's Baby is "a better Bridget than the last movie" - 2004's Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
It is, Peter Bradshaw's review continues, "something resembling a likeable, good-natured one-off TV holiday special".
Jamie East in The Sun writes: "The third in the Bridget Jones series has everything we love about her films.
"Nearly all the cast is back, jokes are razor-sharp and cultural references are on point."
One notable absentee is Hugh Grant, who chose not to reprise his role as the caddish Daniel Cleaver.
His absence, says Variety's Catherine Bray, "is certainly felt" in "a mixed bag" that "doesn't quite hit the heights" of 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary.
"Depending on which side of the age divide viewers fall, Bridget Jones's Baby will either be viewed as charmingly retro or irredeemably irrelevant," writes Screen Daily's Fionnuala Halligan.
The film, she continues, "works best as a nostalgia piece, to help viewers recall where they were in the late 1990s when the world thought it was charming for a woman to be so prettily inept".
Meanwhile, Leslie Felperin writes in The Hollywood Reporter: "There are crisply folded lines, and pleasingly peppery performances from the supporting cast."
But she goes on to suggest "there is a splinter of ice... where its beating heart should be" and that "no-one involved is really doing this for that much love".

Now the 42-year-old is confined to a wheelchair, struggles with his speech and barely has the strength to hold a sandwich or lift a drink.
For the last two years his body has been ravaged by the debilitating effects of motor neurone disease, which has taken control of everything except his mind. That remains as sharp as ever, but his body has become increasingly disobedient, making every day a challenge.
Van der Westhuizen admits he is on his "deathbed", having been given between two and five years to live when he was diagnosed in 2011.
Joost was part of a golden era of world-class scrum-halves I loved playing against. His blistering pace, raw strength and incredible will to win made him THE man to watch for South Africa. Every time he had the ball in his grasp you felt he could score a try, no matter how small the gap or how big the defender. He is not only one of the greatest scrum-halves of all time but probably one of the top 10 players in the history of the game.
Speaking on the telephone from his home in South Africa, it is difficult to understand what the 1995 World Cup winner and holder of 89 Test caps is trying to say.
His speech is slurred and muffled but you can just about decipher his sentences, so that we know the Springbok great is at peace with himself and his situation.
"I realise every day could be my last," he tells BBC Sport. "It's been a rollercoaster from day one and I know I'm on a deathbed from now on.
"I've had my highs and I have had my lows, but no more. I'm a firm believer that there's a bigger purpose in my life and I am very positive, very happy."
Van der Westhuizen, widely regarded as one of the greatest scrum-halves of all time, now lives in Johannesburg with his friend David Thorpe. Together they run his J9 Foundation, a charity that raises awareness about motor neurone disease.
The former Blue Bulls player first noticed something was wrong at the end of 2008, when he felt some weakness in his right arm.
He presumed it was an old rugby injury flaring up and paid little more attention to it. Then a few months later he was play-fighting in a swimming pool with an old friend, Henry Kelbrick, who is also his personal doctor, and the weakness in his arm became even more apparent.
It was clear this was something much more serious than he had previously thought.
"Kelbrick identified something, so he rang me up later and asked me to come in that afternoon," he said. "He apologised to me, and then he told me what it was."
The diagnosis was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, one of the most common forms of motor neurone disease.
"First of all I asked him to give me medication, but then he told me about the severity of the condition and that it was terminal."
Van der Westhuizen concedes "it's sometimes difficult to stay positive and motivated" after being diagnosed with a fatal illness. But as a devout Christian, his faith and family have played a big role in helping him come to terms with his condition.
And he says the disease has actually helped him to become a better person.
In 2008 he suffered a suspected heart attack and not long afterwards was at the centre of a sex-tape and cocaine scandal which led to the break-up of his marriage to the singer Amor Vittone. He also lost his job as a television pundit with the South African broadcaster Supersport.
"What I did went against all my principles - my life was controlled by my mind and I had to make my mistakes to realise what life is all about," he said.
"I led my life at a hundred miles an hour. I've learned that there are too many things that we take for granted in life and it's only when you lose them that you realise what it is all about.
"But I know that God is alive in my life and with experience you do learn. I can now talk openly about the mistakes I made because I know my faith won't give up and it won't diminish.
"It's only when you go through what I am going through that you understand that life is generous."
For Van der Westhuizen, life is now chiefly about spending time with his family. He has two children, Jordan, seven, and a five-year-old daughter, Kylie.
He is also committed to helping people with motor neurone through the J9 Foundation and plans a visit to the UK in the autumn to watch his beloved Springboks in action against Wales and Scotland.
The sport he loves has also looked out for one of its own.
"When I talk about the rugby community I am talking about everyone in the sport and I have to say they have been brilliant," he says.
"All the number nines I played against in internationals have been phenomenal. Rugby is a big family."

Memories of his distinguished playing career are a source of comfort and satisfaction for Van der Westhuizen. The highlight was obviously 1995, when he was an integral part of the Springbok side that won the World Cup on home soil in front of new president Nelson Mandela.
His brilliant performance was characterised by a famous tackle on Jonah Lomu, when New Zealand's talisman was going at full tilt after scything past South Africa's captain Francois Pienaar.
He went on to win the Tri Nations in 1998 and captained the Boks at the 1999 World Cup, when they were beaten in extra time in the semi-finals by eventual winners Australia.
The only thing missing on his illustrious CV is victory over the British and Irish Lions. The Boks were favourites to beat the Lions in 1997 but lost the series 2-1. One of the iconic moments actually involved Van der Weshuizen, but not in a way he would have intended.
It occurred in the first Test, when he was one of the players who fell for an outrageous dummy by Matt Dawson, who then went over in the corner for a crucial try,
When he retired in 2003, Van der Westhuizen was the most capped South African player of all time, with 89 appearances, and had scored 38 Test tries, which was a Springbok record until it was recently broken by winger Bryan Habana.
Despite his brilliant record, the former scrum-half is not afraid to laugh at himself, or show humility.
"Everyone still talks to me about that tackle on Jonah Lomu in the 1995 World Cup final," he says, "but every time people mention it, I have to remind them about how I fell for Matt Dawson's dummy in 1997."
That was a rare misjudgement from one of the best players of all time. The archetypal Springbok admits he made mistakes in his life after rugby, but is now finally at peace.
Dutt was sentenced for firearms offences linked to the 1993 Mumbai blasts which killed 257 people and injured 713.
He was convicted of buying firearms from the bombers but said the weapons were necessary in order to defend his family during the Hindu-Muslim rioting of 1993.
The actor was moved to the Yerwada jail in May 2013 to finish his five-year jail term.
But owing to his good behaviour and positive activities like running a radio programme, he was recently granted a remission of 144 days.
His early release, however, has sparked outrage with critics saying that Dutt had already been granted an unreasonable number of parole and furlough leaves owing to his celebrity status.
Meanwhile, there is intense interest in the media about his life inside the jail.
Dutt lived in a 8x10ft (2.4m x 3m) cell and wore the white uniform of prisoners. He had a 100 sq ft garden in front of his cell, where he was allowed to stroll under the watchful eyes of four guards.
According to a former fellow inmate, the actor had been resigned to his fate of the unavoidable jail time, but knew he could be released early if he behaved well.
He was lodged in a high-security cell next to the "faansi" ward, which houses prisoners on death row, and was generally not allowed to interact with other prisoners owing to security concerns.
If he walked to the common area, he would be accompanied by four policemen. If he interacted with other prisoners, the conversations would be listened into.
"I would speak to him often as I was working as the librarian at the prison," said the former inmate.
"Baba, as he is affectionately known, would borrow at least two books every week. He used to read extensively, mainly Hindi literature from Munshi Premchand."
The former inmate added that the actor would "remain immersed in newspapers".
"He had little else to do. In the common area, we had one TV set for every 150 prisoners. But since Baba's cell was a high-security one, he did not have that luxury," he added.
Hitesh Jain, Dutt's lawyer, said that the actor also developed a "spiritual inclination" during his time in the prison.
"He was doing a lot of spiritual reading. These are the things which keep a person encouraged, and provide strength to pass the whole term," said Jain.
Speaking about his daily schedule, officers at the Yerwada prison said that Dutt would wake up at six in the morning. He would take a shower after which he would be served tea and breakfast.
The jail staff would then bring him material to make bags from newspapers. He would spend most of his mornings working, earning 45 rupees (47p; 66 cents) for 100 bags. A little before noon, he would be taken to the radio studio where he would present a programme on 'Radio YCP' (Yerwada Central Prison), the jail's internal radio station.
Soon after, policemen would escort him to the common area where he was allowed to interact with other prisoners and exercise with them.
He would then return to his cell at around 14:00, have lunch and remain there for an hour before again hosting his programme on the radio station.
Dinner would be served by 17:30 and the actor would stay locked in his cell from 18:00 until the next morning.
His radio programme was popular among the inmates.
"He would write his own scripts, and would usually speak about reforms during his radio sessions," a jail officer said.
"He would speak about prison life, how the prisoners could survive it, and how their rehabilitative processes should be once they leave prison."
The officer added that the actor would often repeat his dialogues from popular Munnabhai films and play songs to entertain his listeners.
The actor definitely made some fans with his radio skills.
"Baba might be a big deal outside those prison walls, but inside, he was one of us. He even met my wife and mother during one of their prison visits," the former fellow inmate said.
"My family was elated on meeting him, but to me, and to all of us prisoners, he was ordinary. Prison does that to you. The barracks snatch your worth and render you ordinary, irritatingly ordinary, even if you are a superstar."

Benoit de Juvigny said that "large international banks" have undertaken the due diligence needed to set up a subsidiary in the French capital.
He also told Newsnight that "many other companies" had lodged informal inquiries about moving post-Brexit.
He expects similar talks to be going on in Europe's other financial centres.
Authorities in Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Amsterdam have said they would welcome banks moving operations from London for when the UK leaves the European Union.
For many years, British-based financial services companies have been able to operate throughout Europe using so-called passporting rights.
That scheme may end when Britain leaves the EU, with no guarantee that it will be replaced by a similar agreement.
It is that uncertainty that had led many financial companies - and particularly international banks - to make contingency plans that would see them transfer a chunk of their business to an EU member country.
Newsnight has learned that at least eight centres are now actively vying for this business - Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Madrid, Bratislava, and the Maltese capital, Valletta.
But the extent to which these plans have been progressed has been hard to ascertain - until now.
Mr de Juvigny's disclosure that major banks have gone as far as conducting due diligence shows an important milestone.
Due diligence is the process of close scrutiny that major businesses go through prior to a major deal. It is detailed and expensive, and even wealthy banks don't undertake it lightly. What's more, if Mr du Juvigny is right, then it's being conducted in multiple cities around Europe.
He said that the French regulatory department was likely to be expanded to cope with any influx of companies.
However, he warned about the impact of regulators trying to compete to attract banks, saying: "The danger is the race that we could have for a more lenient regulation with a more lenient regulator."
He said the risk of such leniency was lax regulation that could lead to another financial crisis, and called for Europe to stick "strictly" to existing legislation.
"I don't believe that [lenient regulation] should be the choice of the UK, but nobody knows," he said.
Some of Russia's latest military hardware was on show, including the RS-24 Yars long-range nuclear missile.
Fighters, heavy bombers and helicopters flew over Red Square, including types combat-tested in Syria, where Russian aircraft are helping government forces.
The march past included Russia's new National Guard.
The National Guard will be armed with modernised AK-74M assault rifles and will be tasked with fighting terrorism and organised crime. Those operations are currently the domain of interior ministry Omon and Sobr special forces.
The parade involved 10,000 military staff, 135 armoured vehicles and 71 aircraft.
Victory Day (9 May) is an occasion for the Kremlin to stir up patriotic feelings, as Russians remember the sacrifices made in World War Two.
Russia is ploughing billions of dollars into modernising its military, amid tension with Nato over the conflict in Ukraine. So the annual parade also shows off Russian military might for an international audience.
For the first time a contingent from the Russian space forces joined the parade - officers and cadets from a military academy that produced famous Soviet cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin and German Titov.
The heavy armour included new Russian anti-aircraft missile systems - the S-400 and Pantsir - as well as the Iskander medium-range missile. The S-400 is currently protecting Russia's airbase near Latakia in Syria.
Addressing the armed forces, President Vladimir Putin praised the wartime feat of millions of Soviet citizens, who "demonstrated the true strength of our nation, its unity, triumphant spirit and patriotic devotion".
He also called for a "non-bloc system of international security" - reiterating Russian opposition to Nato, without mentioning the Western alliance by name.
There was an aerobatic display by Sukhoi Su-25 ground attack planes, which have been used by Russia to bomb rebels in Syria. The Su-25s trailed clouds of smoke in the Russian red-white-blue colours.
After the spectacular parade a vast crowd of people thronged the streets of Moscow on a march called "The Immortal Regiment", commemorating their relatives killed in World War Two. In Russia it is called "The Great Patriotic War".

Among them was President Putin, holding a photo of his father, who was wounded in combat.
More than 23 million Soviet soldiers and civilians died in the war - the heaviest toll among all the countries which fought.

Fleetwood's Jimmy Ryan came closest to breaking the deadlock but home keeper Magnus Norman tipped his second-half free-kick on to the crossbar.
Southport failed to seriously trouble the visitors' defence, with most of their efforts coming from long range.
Norman had to react quickly to deny Devante Cole a winner in stoppage time.
Fleetwood's Bobby Grant shot wide on the half-hour mark but Uwe Rosler's side could not find a way past on-loan Fulham stopper Norman in the second period.
At the other end, Town keeper Chris Neal was forced to palm away James Caton's shot from just outside the area.
After play was briefly halted when a smoke bomb and a flare were thrown onto the pitch by Southport fans, Fleetwood's best chances came during six minutes of second-half injury time.
First Norman smothered Cole's low shot then Cian Bolger sent a powerful header narrowly wide after losing his marker at a corner.
The winners of next week's replay at Highbury will travel to League One strugglers Shrewsbury in the second round.

Torfaen council has become the latest authority to take action against lanterns which can be harmful to animals and cause fires.
RSPCA Cymru is campaigning for an "outright ban" on their use across Wales.
The councils yet to impose a ban are Flintshire, Wrexham, Anglesey, Newport, Merthyr Tydfil and Swansea.
The RSPCA said over 200,000 sky lanterns (also known as Chinese lanterns) are sold in the UK each year. They can be eaten by animals or cause entanglement or entrapment which can have fatal consequences.
They have even been known to injure people.
Paul Smith, RSPCA Cymru's public affairs manager, said: "Sadly, many people are not aware of how harmful they can be for animals - including birds, wildlife and farm animals.
"Stationary candles, LED lanterns and outdoor lights all provide safe alternatives to deadly sky lanterns."
Mr Smith added an "outright ban" remains the charity's primary objective.
"We'd love to see the Welsh Government bringing forward proposals to achieve that in Wales," he said.
The leader of Torfaen council, Anthony Hunt, said: "For some time we have recognised the dangers associated with the use of sky lanterns and have responded to the growing expectation for local authorities to ban the release of sky lanterns and massed balloons from council owned land".
He was phoned in his Eyemouth home on Monday by someone claiming to be a police officer.
The caller told him there was a problem with his bank account and that someone would come to his home the following day to collect his bank card.
The pensioner was then visited at 14:15 on Tuesday and his card taken. All his savings were later removed.
The man who went to his door has been described as being in his early 40s, about 5ft 9in with a medium build, clean shaven face and olive-skinned complexion.
He was wearing a black tammy hat, black trousers and spoke with a Scottish accent.
Det Con Barry Mercer said: "The victim has been left devastated at the theft of his savings and we are pursuing various lines of inquiry to identify the culprits.
"If you recognise the description of the male who attended at the man's home, or if you have any information relevant to this investigation then please get in touch.
"While the caller may have sounded extremely convincing I would like to remind the public that neither police, nor banks will contact you by phone to request you hand over your bank card or account details."
He advised anyone receiving a similar call to hang up and contact the police immediately.
It will be a first senior Wimbledon appearance for Clayton, 23, ranked at number 253 in the world for doubles.
Guernsey's Heather Watson - a defending Wimbledon champion in the mixed doubles - was given a wildcard to the ladies' singles main draw earlier in June.
"When I got the call I couldn't believe it," Clayton told BBC Radio Jersey.
"Yes, I believe I'm the first player from Jersey to be involved in the Championships. I played there as a junior but to be there as a pro player on the tour, it's incredible."
Yorkshire-born O'Mara, 22, who lives in Scotland, recently played with Clayton at the Aegon Open, Nottingham.
On 21 June, Britain's Marcus Willis - who qualified for the main singles draw in 2016 - was awarded a wildcard for the doubles with his partner Jay Clarke.
Since then, as well as Clayton and O'Mara, Britain's Brydan Klein and Joe Salisbury have also received doubles wildcards along with Australian pair Thanasi Kokkinakis and Jordan Thompson, plus British brothers Ken and Neal Skupski.
In a speech to supporters in the capital Caracas, he said the country had to recover the means of production, to counter its deep economic crisis.
On Friday, he introduced a new, nationwide state of emergency.
Opposition protesters have been rallying in Caracas to push for a recall vote to eject him from power.
Mr Maduro said the state of emergency was needed to combat foreign aggression, which he blamed for Venezuela's problems.
And he said military exercises would take place next weekend to counter "foreign threats".
Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves but its economy has been severely hit by falling global oil prices. Its economy contracted by 5.7% last year and its official inflation rate is estimated to be topping 180%.
There are severe shortages of food, medicines and basic goods which Mr Maduro argues are due to business leaders and the US waging an economic war against his government.
The economic crisis that started three years ago has exacerbated this year, to the point that it has affected immensely the day-to-day life of every Venezuelan.
On top of having to queue for hours every week to be able to buy the basic products, now Venezuelans have to cope with energy and water rationing almost daily.
This, in a country that used to be one of the most developed nations in Latin America, with the highest consumption rates in the region.
Venezuelans have lost interest in Mr Maduro's moves because of the economic crisis. The latest, like the state of emergency decree or the occupation of certain plants, are in fact already happening and have changed little for Venezuelans' daily lives.
The threat to seize closed factories came after Venezuela's largest food and beverage company, the Polar Group, halted production of beer, blaming government mismanagement for stopping it importing barley.
The group's billionaire owner, Lorenzo Mendoza, is a fierce critic of President Maduro.
"We must take all measures to recover productive capacity, which is being paralysed by the bourgeoisie," Mr Maduro told a rally in Caracas.
"Anyone who wants to halt [production] to sabotage the country should get out, and those who do must be handcuffed and sent to the PGV [Venezuelan General Penitentiary]," he said.
"We're going to tell imperialism and the international right that the people are present, with their farm instruments in one hand and a gun in the other... to defend this sacred land," he added.
On Friday he declared a full-blown state of emergency, expanding the state of "economic emergency" he had announced in January.
In an address to the nation, he said the measures would be in place for three months but would likely be extended over 2017.
He did not specify if there would be limits to other constitutional rights but he said the decree would provide "a fuller, more comprehensive protection for our people."
A previous state of emergency was implemented in states near the Colombian border last year.
It suspended constitutional guarantees in those areas but did not suspend guarantees related to human rights.
The Venezuelan Minister for Communication and Information, Luis Jose Marcano, said the state of emergency would allow the government more resources to distribute food, basic goods and medicines.
But he added that it also created "mechanisms for the security forces to be able to guarantee public order needed because of the threats by armed groups".
The opposition has collected and submitted a petition with 1.8 million signatures in favour of a referendum on Mr Maduro, but the National Electoral Board (CNE) has so far not verified them.
The verification process was supposed to take five days but 12 days have already elapsed.
Opposition activists say authorities are not letting them proceed to the next stage when they must collect another four million signatures.
Addressing the crowds on Saturday, opposition leader and former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles said: "We want a country without queues, where we can find medicines. We want change."
He described Venezuela as a "time bomb that can explode at any given moment".
According to the Venezuelan Constitution, if a referendum is held before the end of the year, a recall vote against Mr Maduro would trigger new elections.
Opposition protester Marisol Dos Santos said there would be "a social explosion" if Mr Maduro did not let the recall referendum happen. | On Thursday the Great Trump Pivot went from pundit speculation and political tea-leaf reading to official campaign strategy.

The House of Representatives approved the bill earlier this week, also by an overwhelming majority.
Having passed through both chambers, it will be sent to President Trump to sign into law.
But Mr Trump has sought closer ties with Russia, and has the power to veto the bill despite its political support.
A presidential veto can, in turn, be overridden by a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate - where just a handful of politicians voted against the bill.
The sanctions were drawn up in part to punish Russia further over the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
But the debate over the new measures has taken place against the backdrop of an ongoing investigation into alleged Russian meddling the in the 2016 presidential election.
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied the existence of any Russian involvement in the election to help his campaign.
But political correspondents say an attempt to veto the new sanctions could fuel suspicion that he is too supportive of the Kremlin.
The White House is also said to be particularly concerned over a provision in the new bill which would limit President Trump's ability to lift the sanctions.
Under the legislation, he would be forced to consult Congress first.
Speaking earlier this week after the House passed the bill, top-ranking Republican Paul Ryan said it "tightens the screws on our most dangerous adversaries in order to keep Americans safe".
But the bill was criticised by some European countries which deal with Russian energy pipelines - which may fall foul of the new sanctions.
It remains to be seen if the president will attempt to veto the bill.
New White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN: "He may sign the sanctions exactly the way they are or he may veto the sanctions and negotiate an even tougher deal against the Russians."

The Esk District Salmon Fishery Board said giving Usan Salmon Fisheries an additional 14 days to catch fish was "recklessly irresponsible".
It has described the move as making "no sense at all" in terms of conservation.
A government spokeswoman said there was no evidence the extension would have a detrimental impact on stocks.
Usan Salmon Fisheries will be allowed to net and kill salmon between 1 September and 14 September, after the end of the statutory netting season on 31 August, for three years from 2012.
The reason for the extension had been stated as "to compensate the fishery for disruption" caused by Marine Scotland Science having "access to fish and genetic samples during the commercial fishery season" for tagging research purposes.
Hugh Campbell Adamson, chairman of the fishery board, said: "We are perturbed by the government's unilateral intention to allow netting in September.
"It makes no sense at all from a conservation perspective to permit any additional pressure on salmon stocks."
Mr Campbell Adamson said the government had paid Usan £30,000 for its assistance in procuring 95 salmon for radio-tagging between February and April, but an offer by the board to continue to make cash payments to the company as compensation for the tagging programme in May and June was rejected by Scottish government.
The chairman said that instead the government is allowing Usan to kill up to 1,000 more salmon with a potential gross value of some £50,000.
Mr Adamson said the move was in stark contrast to the government's promotion of catch and release to fishery boards and anglers, he added: "Usan's nets in the South Esk district killed 6,500 salmon last year.
"It beggars belief that the netting season is now being lengthened."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said it was fully committed to salmon conservation and that no license would have been granted had there been evidence it would have a detrimental impact on stocks.
She added: "The licensed fishery has been granted in support of the National Fisheries Management Demonstration Project being carried out on the South Esk.
"This is an innovative three year research project, being carried out by Marine Scotland Science, applying science-based management techniques to better understand the status of salmon stocks on the Esk."
With a distinct history stretching back to the early middle ages, many Catalans think of themselves as a separate nation from the rest of Spain.
This feeling is fed by memories of the Franco dictatorship, which attempted to suppress Catalan identity, and is nowhere more clearly expressed than in the fierce rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Spain's top football clubs.
A roughly triangular region in Spain's far north-east corner, Catalonia is separated by the Pyrenean mountains from southern France, with which it has close historical ties.
Most of the region's population lives in Barcelona, its vibrant political and economic hub and a popular European travel destination.
Holiday-makers also flock to the Mediterranean beaches of the Costa Brava and Costa Daurada/Dorada, and the Pyrenees are popular with hikers, making tourism an important part of Catalonia's economy.

But it is manufacturing - traditionally textiles, but more recently overtaken in importance by the chemical industry, food-processing, metalworking - that make the region Spain's economic powerhouse, along with a growing service sector.
The area first emerged as a distinct entity with the rise of the County of Barcelona to pre-eminence in the 11th century. In the 12th century, the county was brought under the same royal rule as the neighbouring kingdom of Aragon, going on to become a major medieval sea power.
Catalonia has been part of Spain since its genesis in the 15th century, when King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile married and united their realms.
Initially retaining its own institutions, the region was ever more tightly integrated into the Spanish state, until the 19th century ushered in a renewed sense of Catalan identity, which flowed into a campaign for political autonomy and even separatism. The period also saw an effort to revive Catalan, long in decline by then, as a language of literature.
When Spain became a republic in 1931, Catalonia was soon given broad autonomy. During the Spanish Civil War, Catalonia was a key Republican stronghold, and the fall of Barcelona to Gen Francisco Franco's right-wing forces in 1939 marked the beginning of the end of Spanish resistance to him.
Under Franco's ultra-conservative rule, autonomy was revoked, Catalan nationalism repressed and use of the Catalan language restricted.
The pendulum swung back with the emergence of a democratic Spain after Franco's death. Catalonia now has is its own parliament and executive - together known as the "Generalitat" in Catalan - with extensive autonomy.
Until recently, few Catalans wanted full independence, but Spain's painful economic crisis has seen a surge in support for separation. Many Catalans believe the affluent region pays more to Madrid than it gets back, and blame much of Spain's debt crisis on the central government.
A regional government backed by the two main separatist parties - in power since snap elections in November 2012 - held an informal, non-binding vote on independence in 2014, with 80% of those taking part voting "yes". The Spanish government says Catalonia has no constitutional right to break away.
The use of Catalan - a language as close to regional languages of southern France like Occitan as it is to Castilian Spanish - has equal status with Castilian and is now actively encouraged in education, official use and the media. However, Castilian predominates in Barcelona, and is still the first language of a narrow majority of Catalans, who are nearly all bilingual.
Variants are also spoken in the region of Valencia to the south, and on the Balearic islands, leading many Catalan nationalists to regard all three regions- as well as the traditionally Catalan-speaking Roussillon region of France - as forming the "Catalan Countries".
Ofcom found "serious weaknesses" in the Hull-based firm's emergency call service which meant people in the area could not make calls to 999 or 112.
The regulator found it had broken rules to ensure people can contact emergency services at all times.
KCOM operates the main telephone and broadband network in Hull.
It is the only UK city not served by BT's Openreach, which controls the telecoms network.
Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire
Ofcom said KCOM notified the regulator on 28 December 2015 that its emergency call service for the Hull area had failed for around four hours.
It said the failure was because of flooding at one of the BT's telephone exchanges in York in the wake of Storm Eva.
However, Ofcom found that all emergency calls from customers in that area relied on the flooded telephone exchange in York.
Under Ofcom rules, the telephone and broadband operator should have been able to automatically divert emergency calls via back-up routes.
The investigation found that although the firm did have back-up routes in place, these also relied on the flooded telephone exchange in York.
Ofcom said KCOM created an alternative route to carry emergency calls that bypassed the flooded telephone exchange in York within two hours of identifying the problem.
The regulator said it expected telephone companies' services to be resilient enough "to the greatest extent possible" to connect emergency calls at all times, even in challenging circumstances.
Shrewsbury frustrated the hosts in the opening stages, but Uwe Rosler's side finally found a way through in the 38th minute to continue their record of scoring in every league game.
Amari'i Bell fed Devante Cole on the left and he fizzed the ball across the six-yard box for Northern Ireland full-back Conor McLaughlin to fire home.
Bell was again influential as the hosts doubled their lead, pulling back for Ball to net his seventh of the season in the 53rd minute, after Shrewsbury had failed to fully clear
Ball was in the action 20 minutes later as the forward sublimely wrapped his right foot around the ball and curled it into the top corner from just outside the area.
The striker carved out a number of late opportunities but just missed out on completing his hat-trick as Fleetwood moved up to eighth and within a point of a play-off spot, while Chesterfield's win at MK Dons condemned Shrewsbury's return to bottom spot after consecutive losses.

A new four-court arena is to be built in St Andrews in Fife with the aim of encouraging more people to play tennis at all levels.
It will be built at St Andrews University's sports centre at St Leonard's Road.
Fife Schools will have regular access to the new centre on school days.
Student tennis players will be encouraged to work with youngsters to develop coaching and volunteering experience.
The £3m centre is being funded by St Andrews University, Sportscotland, Tennis Scotland, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), a private donor and the St Andrews alumni community.
St Andrews is investing over £14m in its sports facilities.
Work on the new centre will begin this week and is due to be complete in September.
Mike Aitken, St Andrews director of tennis, said: "The building of a four-court indoor centre is hugely exciting for the whole tennis community.
"It will be a fantastic venue offering a full coaching and competitive programme as well as pay and play for members of the community. We will cater for students, staff, schools, local clubs and disability groups by offering sessions for all levels.
"We will also play our part in the district, Tennis Scotland and LTA development plans with competition, player development and coach education.
"We hope to run a programme that will get more people playing more tennis at whatever level and provide a great experience for those using the facility."

Rosberg leads the British world champion by 43 points after Sunday's Russian Grand Prix.
"I am well aware Lewis is going to bounce back when he has a clean weekend and it will be the usual tough battle against him," the German said.
"Sport is all about ups and downs. I just need to mentally prepare."
Victory at Sochi was Rosberg's seventh in a row, dating back to last October's Mexican Grand Prix, the race after Hamilton had clinched his third world title.
Only three other drivers in F1 history have achieved that feat - Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel - and all went on to win the championship that year.
But Rosberg said: "The other people did not have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate.
"Yes, I have a good points lead but there are 425 points to go and I have only a 43-point lead. It is completely not worth talking about.
"Lewis is driving as strong as ever. For sure he will bounce back massively. He doesn't have an issue with fighting back either with his head.
"I am sure we will see a lot more of the battle between us and it is always going to be a tough battle."
Rosberg admitted becoming only the fourth driver in history to win seven in a row "sounds cool".
However, he added: "It is not my focus. Yes, it is a great start but I just enjoy winning, race by race. Barcelona next."
Rosberg's advantage means Hamilton would have to win and finish second without the German scoring to draw level.
Hamilton finished second in Russia after starting 10th on the grid because of an engine failure in qualifying. The problem was in the same part that broke in China two weeks ago and left him at the back of the grid.
He said: "He has a buffer knowing even if he has two bad weekends he is still in the fight, which is a huge confidence boost, and generally he has been starting at the front with no-one to really bother him, so it has been a nice Sunday drive for him. But there are still 17 races to go and still 17 races I can give him hell."
But Hamilton said he was concerned about the likelihood of receiving grid penalties later in the season - because he was using up engines quickly and because he already has two reprimands and a third would mean an automatic 10-place grid penalty.
"It's not that it hurts," said Hamilton, who was closing on Rosberg in Russia before being told to back off because his engine was losing water pressure.
"I don't sit here all happy, because nothing has gone particularly well. I got myself back up there and wasn't able to fight for the win.
"I believe I had a chance to win. That is the only thing in my mind.
"Also I am running out of engines as the races go by. It is not hurting, it is just not great.
"I am aware there is likely to be one more 10-place penalty because I have one more reprimand to go. The last one was just ridiculous."
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said the team had "let Hamilton down with the engine" and that they would urgently try to get to the bottom of the problems.
"This is a mechanical sport and these things happen," Wolff said.
"We had a problem on the MGU-K drive on Nico's car and it looked as if he might not finish the race.
"We are pushing the limits a lot on the chassis and the engine a lot in order to have a competitive car and this is why we are winning races, but if you push the limits at a certain stage you go beyond them."

Marine James Wright, 22, from Juliet Company, 42 Commando Royal Marines, was from Weymouth in Dorset.
The MoD said he died in Camp Bastion after he was attacked at a checkpoint following a foot patrol in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand province.
Marine Wright's family paid tribute to him, saying he "touched the lives of everyone who knew him".
His patrol had been under fire from insurgents for several hours on Friday when they managed to return to their base at a checkpoint, which then came under attack.
He was wounded by the grenade and died of his wounds despite receiving medical treatment.
Marine Wright's father David said: "James was so proud to be a Royal Marine and we are so proud of him. He was determined to be the best."
His mother Sallie added: "He was always smiling with a wonderful sense of humour. James never had a bad word to say about anyone and was so kind and considerate."
The couple added: "James loved his family and was as proud of us as we are of him. He touched the lives of everyone who knew him."
Marine Wright had been expecting his first child with his partner Shelley.
Lt Col Ewen Murchison, Commanding Officer, 42 Commando Royal Marines, described Marine Wright as "an impressive young man with an insatiable appetite for life".
He said: "A spirited and passionate character, he loved his job, his fellow Marines and his family and leaves behind a massive void in the lives of all those who knew him.
"An extremely bright prospect, he was renowned for his cheerfulness, no matter how dire the situation, and indefatigable loyalty and commitment to his profession."
Marine Wright, who joined the service in November 2009, took part in Navy ski championships in France, scaled Ben Nevis and had a passion for motocross.
In their tributes, his fellow marines recounted how he had once rescued a cow that had got trapped in barbed wire near their base, and treated its injuries.
They said his nickname was "Big Reach", because he once befriended a gangster on the streets of New York who used that name.
He believed being a marine was the supreme job, saying, "it's more than just a beret; it's a state of mind".
Defence Secretary Liam Fox said Marine Wright was "a hero who died for his country".
"Marine James Wright was by all accounts a man of great character and ability, fearless in battle and a model Marine.
"The tributes from his family and comrades say it all: he was a hero who died for his country. They have my deepest respect and sympathy."
His death took the total number of UK military deaths in Afghanistan since operations started in 2001 to 378.
After the abandonment of Sunday's opener, the Afghans posted a decent 250 total, with Mohammad Shahzad hitting 66 and Najibullah Zadran contributing 59.
In reply, Ed Joyce and skipper William Porterfield put on 71 for the first wicket before a mid-innings collapse.
Sussex batsman Joyce hit 62, but Kevin O'Brien was the next best scorer on 35.
O'Brien and Barry McCarthy both took four Afghanistan wickets, but the visitors' total still proved comfortably beyond the Irish.
The hosts opted to move regular opener Paul Stirling down to number six as Joyce opened with Porterfield.
John Anderson's departure left the home side on 160-4 but Stirling could only manage 16 as he was dismissed shortly after O'Brien's exit to leave the Irish in trouble at 189-6.
The Irish tail was unable to wag after that as Tim Murtagh's dismissal by Dawlat Zadran ended the contest.
John Bracewell's Irish side were suffering another reverse after their 136-run hammering by Sri Lanka at Malahide last month, which was their heaviest ever home defeat.
Team captain Porterfield admitted that his team's batting performance hadn't been good enough.
"We didn't get across the line with the bat. We've got the rectify that for Thursday's game," said Porterfield.
The sides meet again at Stormont on Thursday before the two concluding games in the series at the same venue on Sunday and next Tuesday.

Andy King headed the hosts, who made 10 changes, ahead after Gray's clever cross was nodded back across goal by Marc Albrighton.
Abdoul Camara's free-kick forced extra time for Championship Derby only for substitute Wilfred Ndidi to restore the Foxes' lead with a fantastic strike.
Gray sealed a deserved win with an angled finish after a fine run.
Premier League Leicester will now face League One Millwall in the last 16 on 18 February (15:00 GMT).
Claudio Ranieri has not had too much to cheer about lately as last season's champions have been plunged into a fight for Premier League survival.
Yet the Italian was all smiles and applauded home fans as they chanted his name around the King Power Stadium soon after King's opener.
Leicester, 16th in the table and one point above the relegation zone, face a battle to climb away from trouble but their first win since 7 January will at least provide them with some momentum.
A spirited Derby display - and a poor performance from the officials - made sure it was anything but a straightforward win.
The hosts should have won a first-half penalty when Ben Chilwell was sent sprawling inside the area by Richard Keogh but referee Mike Jones was not interested.
There was more controversy in the 85th minute when Derby keeper Jonathan Mitchell clearly handled outside his area but Leicester's Ahmed Musa was booked for protesting after Jones dismissed the home team's appeals.

Although there was disappointment from Rams boss Steve McClaren, his team gave Leicester two tough games.
Derby led until four minutes from the end in the original game and forced Leicester into extra time on their own ground before running out of steam.
It might have been a different story had Ron-Robert Zieler not palmed away Jacob Butterfield's low drive on the stroke of half-time. By the time McClaren reached the dugout for the second half, his side were behind - King giving Leicester the lead in the opening minute of the second half.
The Rams responded well to falling behind. Camara had a free-kick beaten away before the Guinea international found the net with a 25-yard set-piece that deflected off Chilwell's thigh on its way into the net.
Derby's Max Lowe chested against his own post while attempting to guide the ball back to his keeper before two sublime finishes took the tie away from the visitors.
Ndidi fired home via the post from 25 yards then Gray, energetic and dynamic throughout, made it 3-1 after avoiding several challenges before his clinical finish allowed Leicester fans to celebrate a welcome victory.

Both teams seemed to have their eyes on this weekend's games as they made 18 changes between them.
Musa was the only survivor from the Leicester side that started last weekend's match with Manchester United even though the Foxes are not in action again until Sunday.
Derby, despite bringing 5,000 travelling fans, made eight changes, as they also rested players to aid their play-off push.
"I didn't want to make eight changes. If the game was last night the team would have been totally different," said McClaren.
However, pundit and former Leicester midfielder Robbie Savage was critical of the number of changes made by both managers.
He said: "If Derby County were playing three Championship games in a week and chasing promotion would they put this team out? It's absolute nonsense. Play your best team."
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri: "Derby played good football and we won. This is what we needed and I wanted.
"We want to do well in all competitions. We want to go forward in the FA Cup. The Premier League is not so good but we have to stay in the Premier League. This fresh air is good for the players."
Derby County boss Steve McClaren: "There are some very tired players in the dressing room. It was always going to be hard work.
"We had a go and I can't fault the players. We ran out of steam in the end. We missed our opportunity in the first game."
Sunday's Premier League game at fellow strugglers Swansea City (16:00 GMT) is a huge match for Leicester. Derby will look to strengthen their Championship play-off bid with a home victory over Bristol City (15:00 GMT) on Saturday.

On 13 June 1842, Queen Victoria made the trip from Slough to Paddington, writing in her journal afterwards that it was "delightful and so quick".
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will embark on the same journey on the day of the anniversary.
Joining them will be two descendants of pioneering railway engineers Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Sir Daniel Gooch.
Mark Hopwood, managing director of Great Western Railway, said he was delighted the Queen was marking "this historic anniversary".
"This occasion marks a very special moment in the history of the Great Western Railway," he said.
Sudanese TV showed the triumphant arrival of the president back home in Khartoum, travelling around the airport in an open-top Landrover, with people chasing the vehicle and singing, "With our blood and souls we shall defend you, Bashir!"
Sudanese papers are painting his return as the final nail in the ICC's coffin after years of failing to have him arrested.
"Large crowds welcome Bashir and bury the ICC" reads a headline in Al-Ra'y al-Amm.
Alwan's editorial says smugly that "His Excellency the President, his advisors and his close circle knew that he would leave and come back without them touching a hair on his head."
Columnist Bashir Hamid Jum'ah sets a general tone of gushing praise in Al-Mijhar al-Siyasi, saying that the president is now a "star".
"Every summit will now want to have him as a participant, because he will give it a standing and a sense of glamour".
Al-Watan's editorial thanks South Africa and the AU for proving they are "strong willed in confronting the new colonialism."
Other Sudanese commentators say that the incident leaves the ICC's reputation in tatters.
Dhia al-Din Balal writes in Al-Sudani: "The fact that most African countries who are signatories to the Rome Statute of the Hague Court received President Bashir means in practical terms that they have left the court's statute; actions always speak louder than words".
However, Al-Maydan newspaper, the mouthpiece of the opposition Sudanese Communist Party, defies the general tone of bravado, insisting that "Dafur crimes will not be dropped due to the passage of time."
South African newspapers are leading with AU chairperson Robert Mugabe's comments that President Zuma had allegedly promised the AU that Bashir would not be arrested. South Africa's Times Live illustrates the story with a picture of the two leaders grinning.
The Mail and Guardian further quotes Mugabe railing against the ICC, saying, "We don't want it in this region at all... The ICC was there to help us try cases, especially cases of violence in any country during an election, but those who signed are now regretting it."
The Cape Times focuses on a call by the governing African National Congress (ANC) for South Africa - and indeed the entire continent - to leave the ICC.
But a commentator in the Cape Argus paper is worried that South Africa's need to win friends and influence others in Africa is trumping its international obligations.
"It is prepared to snub those who believed South Africa was still committed to international justice... The real winner is impunity," writes Jeremy Sarkin.
"Hopefully, the courts remain the beacon of hope and ensure that South Africa is held to its international obligations, and that there are consequences for it not doing so. The world needs an ICC that can hold accountable those who commit international crimes. "
The New York Times points the finger of blame for President Bashir's escape squarely on Pretoria.
"This could not have happened without the complicity of the South African government, which deserves international condemnation," it says in an editorial. "The biggest losers are the innocent victims of Mr Bashir's cruel policies in Darfur who are still being denied justice."
The paper warns that "South Africa cannot help but compromise its leadership position in Africa if it insists on reneging on its international commitments and protecting ruthless leaders accused of war crimes."
The UK's Independent has no illusions that South Africa will be held to account, saying the ICC has no teeth. "Realpolitik usually triumphs over international justice. Like so many other flawed institutions, the ICC is all we have, and we should support it, but it is not much of a threat to anyone."

The government said it had released £3m to address immediate needs and £2m would be given to the Red Cross.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen was "shocked to hear of the appalling loss of life and injuries" and "her thoughts and prayers are with the victims".
A number of Britons have been caught up in Saturday's earthquake and the powerful aftershock felt on Sunday.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted that a UK search and rescue team would be travelling to Nepal on Sunday night with RAF aircraft being sent on Monday.
According to Nepalese officials, at least 3,617 people have died and more than 6,500 people have been injured.
At least 18 people have been killed in avalanches on Mount Everest.
Climbers and their guides have been cut off from Everest's devastated base camp, but as the weather cleared on Monday, Nepalese officials said four helicopters have been deployed to rescue the climbers stranded at the first and the second camp.
Tourism department director general Tulsi Gautam told the BBC there were 210 mountaineers trapped in the two camps and several of them have already been brought down to the base camp and nearby villages.
Alex Staniforth, 19, from Chester, who had been trapped for two nights, messaged that he has now been evacuated.
His latest tweet reads: "Evacuated to base camp. Emotionally trashed & all gear swept away. VERY LUCKY to be alive please let everyone know".
A team of Ghurkas were also trapped on the mountain but have now been evacuated.
Their latest update reveals: "Great news! The team are safely back in base camp.
"They are recovering what they can of their personal kit and equipment, and will spend two days at base camp to consolidate and assist with the recovery effort."
The Ministry of Defence says all UK military personnel on Everest are safe.
A total of 36 British military personnel were part of three separate teams on the mountain when the earthquake hit.
They are not all in the same location, and some are waiting to be airlifted, but the MoD said they were all accounted for.
The earthquake struck in the midst of the spring season in Nepal, when most of the attempts to climb mountains in the region are made.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said "we would expect there to be several hundred British nationals in Nepal" but there were currently no reports of any Britons killed or injured.
"British embassy staff have helped over 200 British nationals who've presented at the embassy directly," he said.
The Foreign Office has released an emergency number - +44 (0) 207 008 0000 - for people worried about loved ones who may have been in the area at the time.
A British couple on their honeymoon were among a number of Britons caught up in the earthquake and subsequent avalanches in the Everest area.
Alex Schneider and Sam Chappatte, described seeing an "avalanche coming straight" at them.
Tom Elphinstone and Zara Carey, both 26 and from London, had been hiking the Annapurna circuit in western Nepal and were in the town of Tansen when the earthquake hit.
They have told family members of "swaying streets" and being in a building which moved "like a ship" with "plaster falling off the walls".
The Department for International Development (DfID) has deployed a team of more than 60 search and rescue responders and medical experts to support the relief effort in Nepal.
A DfID-chartered flight from London is expected to arrive in Kathmandu on Monday carrying seven search and rescue crews, four search and rescue dogs, a medical support team and a hazardous materials specialist.
They are taking more than 11 tonnes of kit, including torches, axes, rope, search cameras, stretchers and tents.
A Foreign Office Rapid Deployment Team to provide further consular assistance for British nationals will also be on board along with experts from leading aid agencies including the British Red Cross, Medecins Sans Frontieres and Map Action, an international disaster mapping charity.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening said: "These are brave men and women who will be doing crucial, life-saving work on behalf of the UK."
Adam Turner, from Lincolnshire, who works for the charity Search and Rescue Assistance in Disasters (SARAID) and is heading for Nepal, told the BBC: "It's inherently risky to work in a disaster zone. There have already been a number of aftershocks"
Tanya Barron, from Plan International, told the BBC of the scenes she had encountered while travelling through the more remote areas of the region.
She said that although Kathmandu was in an "area of devastation and massive need" the remote mountainous villages were "almost without any support".
She added: "The government is doing a good job but nevertheless I have just driven past families sitting in the middle of the rubble of their homes trying to make little tarpaulins with small children.
"There was an aftershock of 6.7... which is a pretty big earthquake on a normal day. Many more houses were brought down so now as we travel through the countryside we see thousands of people camping out on hill sides with very little shelter."
An earthquake consultant working for the UK government said Nepal was unprepared for an earthquake of this scale.
Jon Bennett, from Oxford Development Consultants, had travelled to Nepal two weeks ago on behalf of the UK government to assess how ready the country was for an earthquake.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "We knew, when we were looking at the situation out there, that if there was going to be a very large earthquake like this, the level of the preparedness in the country was nowhere near sufficient to cope with the kind of events that were likely to unfold, as indeed has been the case."
In November and December, the main line at Cowley Bridge near Exeter was submerged, closing it for 11 days.
Business leaders and Devon and Cornwall's councils have written to the Environment Agency and Network Rail.
Network Rail has insisted work is being done to improve the situation.
The joint letter said that while the "severe impact" the closure of Cowley Bridge had on Devon and Cornwall's economies had been recognised, there was still "no firm, positive and long-term solution".
Network Rail said a bid for £30m had been submitted to the government which would pay for work at 10 locations to make the South West's rail tracks more resilient against flooding and landslips.
But the letter said although work was due to be carried out in January, it did not include work at Cowley Bridge.
The letter concluded by asking for confirmation from Network Rail and the Environment Agency that a solution "acceptable to the region as a whole" to stop flooding at Cowley Bridge was found as soon as possible.
Mike Gallop, Network Rail's route asset management director, said a detailed study had been carried out after the flooding.
"I think it's very important to state that we're not proposing to stop the flooding at Cowley Bridge," he told BBC News.
"What we are proposing is to improve the resilience of the railway - to recover the service and recover the track and signalling much more effectively than we did last year."
Mr Gallop said Network Rail fully recognised the importance of rail services to the South West economy and a looking for a solution was a priority.
"The railway to the South West is a priority - not only Cowley Bridge," he added.
He was speaking after an event commemorating the 25th anniversary of the shooting dead of three people by an off-duty RUC officer in 1992.
Earlier, this week Sinn Féin's leader at Stormont, Michelle O'Neill, said an invitation to President Donald Trump to visit NI was no longer appropriate.
Mr Adams said St Patrick's Day was about Ireland, not Mr Trump.
"I'll be there, if the negotiations allow me, to engage with Irish America, with our friends in Capitol Hill, with the undocumented Irish," he said.
"I haven't been invited to the White House. If I am invited, of course I would go."
It was revealed earlier this week that Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness had extended a formal invitation to President Trump to visit Northern Ireland.
The move was criticised by some other parties.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood called for the invitation to Mr Trump be to rescinded.
He said it was "astounding" that Mrs Foster and Mr McGuinness had been "eager to appease a man of his character and sell out their principles so quickly".
The Alliance Party's Stewart Dickson described the invitation as "premature", adding if a visit does happen it should not be an "exercise in toadying and sycophancy".
But the Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt backed the invitation, arguing that "on this occasion" Mrs Foster and Mr McGuinness had "got something right in trying to get the leader of the wealthiest nation in the world to visit Northern Ireland".
Commenting on Sinn Féin being invited to the White House, the DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson tweeted that Mr Trump may "conclude it no longer appropriate to invite some with terrorist convictions to the White House".
Meanwhile, about 200 people attended a protest in Belfast against Mr Trump's ban on travellers from seven mainly Muslim countries.
Other similar demonstrations were held in cities across the UK with the biggest taking place in London.
Muslim community representative Dr Raied Al-Wazzan said many Muslims in Northern Ireland would be affected by the ban.
"When you see people against you because of Islam it breaks my heart," he said.
"There are some people affected here, especially if they have relatives in the States - they can't go there for a conference or a business trip.
"Especially born in Iraq like myself, so I can't go to the States anymore, so that will affect my business."
Lawro's opponent for this week's Premier League fixtures is comedian and actor Elis James.
James, who co-stars in the BBC Three sitcom Josh, is looking to improve on his showing when he took on Lawro last season and only scored 10 points - leaving him joint-bottom of the guest leaderboard.
He is a Swansea City fan and says: "This season so far has not been great for the Swans but it is only the end of September so we live in hope.
"I think we have got enough to stay up, but I will let you know in a couple of months."
You can make your own predictions now, compare them with those of Lawro and other fans, and try to take your team to the top of the leaderboard by playing the new BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last week, Lawro got six correct results, including one perfect score, from 10 Premier League matches. That gave him a total of 90 points.
He was beaten by world darts number one Michael van Gerwen, who got five correct results, but with two perfect scores, for a total of 110 points.

Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael said the money - an extra 11 to 15p per week for most households - would safeguard policing levels.
He added South Wales Police remained the lowest cost to tax payers of the Welsh forces.
The increase for the next financial year will raise an extra £5m.
Mr Michael said it would help the force as it faced £9m of cuts this year and £27m over the next four years.
It comes as tax payers in Dyfed-Powys will see a 5% drop in their police bill - a saving of £10 a year for the average band D household.
However North Wales Police's bill is set to go up by 3.44% and Gwent's will rise by 3.99%.

UFC champion McGregor faces legendary American boxer Mayweather, 40, in Las Vegas on 26 August in a boxing match that could earn both men $100m.
Four-time super-middleweight world champion Froch told BBC Sport: "Everyone expects Mayweather to win.
"But McGregor is 29. He is young, fit, hungry and confident."
Nottingham's Froch added: "I know McGregor is not a boxer; he's a cage fighter.
"But Mayweather could just come unstuck early on and might get caught with something. That's the big concern. It's a fascinating match."
Froch retired in July 2015, 14 months after knocking out George Groves to retain the WBA and IBF titles at Wembley Stadium.
He won 33 of his 35 fights, with 24 victories by knockout, but has no intention of following Mayweather's example by making a comeback.
"I'm 40 years old now and have been retired for three years," Froch said. "It's too long to be out of the ring and then come back at a competitive level.
"I'm nearly 14 stone and box at 12 stone. For me to boil myself to 12 stone would be dangerous for a start.
"I retired because I was feeling the pace. Boxing felt like work in my last couple of fights and it had never felt like work. I was doing something I enjoy. Doing something you are good at and enjoy doesn't feel like work.
"I've have had a fantastic career. I was a four-time world champion and retired on a high. To fill Wembley Stadium with a boxing event was unprecedented. It was the biggest fight post-war."

The charity estimated this year's larger flock consisted of about "half a million" birds at its Ham Wall nature reserve.
And explained the bigger numbers could be due to the colder weather in Russia where the starlings had come from.
Written by Pat Mills and illustrated by the late Joe Colquhoun, it follows young Londoner Charley Bourne's fight to survive in the trenches of the Western Front.
After starting his career with Dundee-based publisher DC Thomson, Mills co-created Battle with fellow comic book writer John Wagner and also launched British science-fiction/fantasy comic 2000AD.
Here Mills gives an insight into writing Charley's War and why he believes how mechanised warfare - machine guns, zeppelins and planes - made WW1 the world's first science-fiction war.
"John Wagner and I did not want Battle to glorify war, and Charley's War is an anti-war story," said Mills. "I think that in the 1970s and 80s it was legitimate, more so than it is today, to describe the Great War as a tragedy, a mistake and criticise the incompetence of generals. In 2014, revisionists have been trying to improve the image of the generals."
Mills' research drew on books, war-time poetry, soldiers' letters, archive photographs and satirical postcards, and some inspiration from 1969 film Oh! What a Lovely War. War-time letters were a major influence and correspondence between Charley and his mum, a munitions worker back home in Bethnal Green, was used as a plot device in the early strips.
"To write the story I had to understand the complexities of the trenches. It was a learning curve. I owe a lot to Charley's War because it made me a better writer," said Mills.
Artist Colquhoun had served as a sailor during World War Two. Before illustrating Charley's War, he had provided the artwork for another Battle comic story, Johnny Red. Set in WW2, its hero is a British pilot fighting for the Russians. Mills said Colquhoun was a hugely talented but modest man. "Joe had this great imagination. Other artists have told of him being able to imagine something, like a tank for example, from different angles. In Johnny Red, he created this amazing street scene of Stalingrad," said Mills.
Mills and Colquhoun were determined to root Charley's War in fact. The Battle of the Somme was among the battles featured.
But young Charley's face-off with an armour-clad German sniper proved controversial. Mills said: "Some people did not think this was based in fact. A relative of mine who had served in World War Two also questioned the use of armour. But I had seen a photograph of armour made for use in World War One. It looked medieval."
Photographs from Getty Image's archives show US-designed armour, left, and also protection that would not look out of place in the pages of 2000AD.
"I didn't want Charley's War to be a story of derring-do and have Charley charging across different theatres of the conflict," said Mills. "But sometimes it was necessary for him to leave the trenches to make a dramatic point, such as showing one of the last cavalry charges of the war. It looks so ludicrous, like something from the Battle of Balaclava, but a charge against machine guns."
"To me, the First World War was the world's first science-fiction war. It saw the first use of tanks, which terrified some of the Germans in their trenches when they first saw these machines." Mills and Colquhoun also featured Zeppelin airship bombing raids on London, aerial dogfights above the trenches and later heavily armed, armoured trains in the stories.
Mills said: "We often imagine that Armageddon is a horror that awaits us sometime in the future. But Armageddon has already happened. It was World War One."
The $1tr (£770bn) agreement to keep the US government running until 30 September was reached on Sunday night.
While there was no money for a wall, Republicans managed to secure $1.5bn in spending on border security.
Lawmakers are expected to vote on the package in the coming days. Full details are yet to be made public.
The deal comes after Congress approved a temporary spending bill that averted a government shutdown at the weekend.
That gave Congress one more week to work out federal spending for the last five months of the fiscal year.
The failure to act would have closed national parks and monuments and left hundreds of thousands of government employees without pay.
The last shutdown, in 2013, lasted for 17 days.
White House demands for the spending bill to include a down payment on a barrier along the southern border have come to naught.
The $1.5bn for border security in the new budget comes with key caveats.
The Trump administration can only spend the money on repairs to existing fencing, infrastructure and technology, according to US media.
Nor has the administration succeeded in its plan to eliminate funding for so-called US sanctuary cities, which shelter undocumented immigrants.
However, Mr Trump insists he will still get money for his key campaign promise in a new spending bill this autumn.
The Republican president told a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night: "We'll build the wall, people, don't even worry about it."
Democrats say they torpedoed from the spending bill 160 policy measures, known as riders, that they labelled "poison pills".
According to reports, none of Mr Trump's calls for $18bn in non-defence cuts are included.
Democrats also fended off potential cuts to Planned Parenthood, a family-planning group abhorred by social conservatives because it provides abortions.
The 1,600-page spending bill reportedly gives retired coal miners $1.3bn in health benefits, a priority of two Democratic senators.
Democrats have also secured $295m to help Puerto Rico continue making payments to the Medicaid health insurance programme for the poor, and $100m to combat opioid addiction.
And New York Democrats secured $61m of funding to reimburse law enforcement agencies for the cost of protecting Mr Trump when he travels to his residences in Florida and New York.
Furthermore, the deal increases funding for the National Institutes of Health, despite the Trump administration's calls to reduce the medical research agency's budget.
Last week, Democrats also wrung from the White House a concession that the bill would not target subsidies paid to insurers to keep Obamacare costs down for low-income patients.
Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. "The bill ensures taxpayer dollars aren't used to fund an ineffective border wall, excludes poison-pill riders, and increases investments in programs that the middle-class relies on."
President Trump has won $12.5bn in extra funding for defence spending.
However, that falls short of the $30bn sought by his budget blueprint.
The spending package would save him and congressional Republicans the embarrassment of presiding over a government shutdown.
"We couldn't be more pleased," US Vice-President Mike Pence said in an interview on CBS This Morning.
But Jim Jordan, chairman of the House of Representatives Freedom Caucus, said he and fellow hardline conservatives were "disappointed".
Republicans control the Congress, Senate and White House, but Democratic votes are still needed to pass the bill.
He said the issue was never discussed with Russia, although last month President Vladimir Putin ordered his government to fine-tune a deal.
On Sunday, hundreds of Belarusian activists held a protest rally in the capital Minsk against the Russian plan.
Belarus is Russia's key ally, and is a member of a Moscow-led economic union.
"We don't need a base today," Mr Lukashenko was quoted as saying by Belarusian media on Tuesday.
"I hear shrieks from the opposition about the deployment of a Russian air base. I don't know anything about it.
"We need planes - not bases. We have our excellent pilots... Why should I allow in planes and pilots from other countries?"
Russia has so far made no public comments in response to Mr Lukashenko's statements.
Moscow already has a radar station in Belarus, which borders with three Nato countries and also Ukraine, where the government has been fighting with pro-Russian separatists.
Despite publicly declaring his loyalty to Russia, Mr Lukashenko has largely remained neutral over the conflict in Ukraine.
Mr Lukashenko - once described as "Europe's last dictator" - has also been signalling to the EU that he is interested in improving relations with the bloc.
His comments came ahead of Sunday's presidential elections, which he looks certain to win.
He has been in power since 1994, rejecting accusations by the opposition and the West that he has turned Belarus into an authoritarian state.
Google Play, YouTube and XBox Movies users will be able to see the film.
It will also be streamed on a dedicated site, seetheinterview.com.
The deal comes a day after Newsbeat was told that there would be limited viewings of the film in several US cinemas on 25 December.
Sony had previously cancelled the film's release following threats from hackers to target screenings.
The unusual release marks one of the first times a studio movie will be shown simultaneously in cinemas and video on demand.
The film, which stars James Franco and Seth Rogen, follows the story of a fictional plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The comedy led to hacks on the studio, which the US blamed on North Korea.
The studio is expected to name more streaming partners for the Thursday release of the film.
US President Barack Obama has said he "applauds Sony's decision" to screen The Interview on Christmas Day.
"As the president made clear, we are a country that believes in free speech, and the right of artistic expression," a White House spokesman said.
The statement added the decision "allows people to make their own choices about the film".
The film is expected to show in 200 mostly independent cinemas in America on Thursday.
The interview was originally scheduled for release in the UK on 6 February, it is not yet clear if these details have changed.

The Good Morning Britain presenter will fall silent on the social media platform for 24 hours this Friday if donations reach £50,000.
Lord Sugar was one of the first to pledge money to the "Shut Piers Up" campaign - donating £5,000.
The Apprentice star described it as the "bargain of the century" in a video message posted on Twitter.
"It's going to be a wonderful day without that nutter clogging up Twitter with his nonsense for the whole day," Lord Sugar said of his frenemy.
After the fundraising campaign was announced, Twitter featured it as a news story on the site.
To which Piers responded: "I'm now a 'Twitter Moment' because @Lord_Sugar paid £5k to silence me on Twitter. I believe this is called 'irony'."
The presenter has also pledged to wear a Tottenham Hotspur football shirt if the donations reach £50,000.
Gary Lineker - who has clashed with Morgan in the past - said he would donate £2,000 if the presenter kept the shirt on all day.
Arsenal fan Piers agreed. Reluctantly.
Sure enough, Lineker's name promptly appeared on the donations page.
Gary Neville, Robbie Savage and Emma Freud were among the celebrity supporters of Piers's sacrifice.
Although Neville's donation was conditional on Piers never saying anything negative about Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger ever again...
This isn't the first time someone has been keen to silence Piers.
At the National Television Awards in January he appeared on stage gagged alongside his co-presenter Susanna Reid.
It was a reference to Ewan McGregor's refusal to share a platform with the presenter on Good Morning Britain.

Sean Turner died in March 2012 from a brain haemorrhage after previously suffering a cardiac arrest while a patient at Bristol Children's Hospital.
His parents, Steve and Yolande Turner, from Warminster, Wiltshire, said they blamed staff shortages and lack of training on Ward 32 for his death.
The inquest at Flax Bourton continues.
Giving evidence at the start of a two-week hearing Mrs Turner said she felt Sean was moved "from the safety of intensive care" to Ward 32 too soon after his operation on 25 January 2012.
"Steve and I were not happy and asked that Sean remain in intensive care.
"We were told that Sean was not critical and was taking up a bed for a critical child."
Mrs Turner told the inquest she could see Sean was deteriorating.
"We could see it but nobody listened to us," she said.
"We asked so many times and so many staff - from ward doctors, outreach nurses, cardiac liaison nurse and the nurses - if Sean could go back to intensive care.
"We tried so hard to get him some help and kept asking the cardiac liaison nurse to speak to doctors for us.
"Nothing happened, nobody seemed to help. Nurses were concerned but they seemed too busy to give the time needed to care for Sean at the level he needed.
"Every nap he had I sat and cried as I felt so desperate and so helpless. Why would no one listen?
"All we can do now is put our faith in this court to find the truth."
Up to 10 families are believed to be taking legal action against the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust over treatment on Ward 32.
In November last year, Avon Coroner Maria Voisin recorded a narrative conclusion at the inquest of seven-year-old Luke Jenkins, who died in April 2012 following surgery.
Following the coroner's conclusion, Luke's mother Faye Valentine, 28, said she believed the hospital could have done more to save his life.
Miss Valentine, from St Mellons, near Cardiff, claimed Ward 32 was understaffed and accused doctors and nurses of ignoring her concerns.
Two more inquests involving the hospital are scheduled for February and March.
Councillors approved a multi-million pound deal for Wasps Rugby Club to buy into the Ricoh on Tuesday.
But president of Coventry Rugby Club Peter Rossborough said he was disappointed to be "omitted completely" from any discussions with the council.
"It's a bit of a blow to us but we're very resilient," he said.
Councillors said on Tuesday they supported a deal to sell the authority's 50% share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership rugby club.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) said the Professional Game Board (PGB) had also agreed to the deal.
Wasps have confirmed Jaguar Land Rover as new sponsors.
The club, traditionally a London team, have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years.
Coventry Rugby Club was formed more than 130 years ago and currently play in National League One at the Butts Park Arena in the city.
Former England international Mr Rossborough said they would "bounce back" to work closely with Wasps "to create the best possible future for both of our clubs for our city."
Nick Eastwood, Wasps chief executive, said the decision had not been taken lightly.
"The reality of our situation is clear - less than two years ago Wasps was just hours away from going out of business."
He said the club would continue to communicate with season ticket holders to explain what they will offer them to thank them for their loyalty.
He also said the move did not now mean people had to choose between Coventry Rugby Club or Wasps.
"It's about collaboration to make sure both clubs thrive and help each other, building attendances for each club and giving supporters even more rugby to enjoy.
"Wasps will work hard to become part of the community and help support the development of grassroots rugby in Coventry and Warwickshire."
In August, Coventry City announced their return to the city by playing their League One games at the 32,000-seat stadium.
Mr Eastwood said Wasps were "delighted" to see them back and added: "We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Sky Blues."
But Mr Rossborough said City fans were "dismayed", like he was, not to have been consulted over the Wasps move.
"It's been a massive exercise in non-democracy," he said.
About 27,000 people came to see Coventry City play their first game at the Ricoh last month but crowd numbers have fallen since then.
But Mr Rossborough said he hoped the relocation by Wasps would have a positive impact on sport in the city.
"Wasps could spark a genuine interest in not just rugby but all sport across the city," he said.
"Even with the Sky Blues being at the Ricoh, it was great that first game when 27,000 turned up, but there hasn't been huge crowds since."
The council said the move guaranteed the football club's continuing tenancy at the stadium and they would also have "primacy over match fixtures".
Sky Blues chairman Tim Fisher told BBC News on Wednesday he felt positive about the move but had not spoken to Wasps.
But more than 2,000 Wasps fans have now signed an online petition to try to keep the club in the London area.
Wycombe Wanderers chairman Andrew Howard said Wasps' departure from Adams Park would have a "significant impact" on the football club's finances.
He said it was "a shame" Wasps were "moving so far north".
Mark Huckerby, who watches Wasps with his family, said: "I've already said very, very clearly that if we are playing in Coventry next year, my Wasps shirt will be returned in the post. I won't be needing it any more. I won't be able to go, my parents won't be able to go and the family thing that we've done for 18 years will be no more."
Edward Overend, who has been going to Wasps since he was five and now has three boys, said: "How am I supposed to tell my children that Wasps have disappeared? Three hours away effectively from where I live.
"What am I supposed to tell my six-year-old who is so into the club that it was his birthday at the weekend and all he wanted was Wasps gear."
Wasps fly-half Andy Goode, from Coventry, was criticised by some fans on Twitter when he described the news as "exciting times".
But he replied: "To the Wasps fans who are upset, I understand but all will become clear and please stay with us. To the abusers you're not real fans."
It is thought the team's first game at the Ricoh Arena will be in December against either Castres or London Irish.

Ernest Bai Koroma said entire communities had been wiped out and that the "devastation was overwhelming us".
Nearly 400 people have been killed and hundreds more are missing after muddy rubble swept through the Regent area near the capital, Freetown, on Monday.
A mass burial of victims is planned to free up space in mortuaries.
Dozens more bodies were discovered on Tuesday as rescue efforts to recover people from destroyed houses in the area continue.
The Red Cross, which said that 312 bodies had been recovered on Monday, said that it was struggling to get equipment in to extricate bodies that were buried deep in the mud.
The aid agency added that an estimated 600 people were still missing.
ActionAid's humanitarian director, Richard Miller, said that "there are currently over 1,500 people reported missing", Sky News reports.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Paolo Conteh told Sierra Leone's state broadcaster that thousands of people remain unaccounted for.
Homes in Freetown were engulfed after part of Sugar Loaf mountain collapsed following heavy rain early on Monday. Many victims were still asleep in their beds when disaster struck.
It is feared the number of dead will rise further. Another 3,000 people are estimated to have lost their homes.
Ishmael Charles, a charity worker for the Healey Relief Foundation and Caritas Freetown, told the BBC that words could not do justice to the scale of the tragedy.
"You will see a huge number of people crying with those who have lost their family members," he said.
"It's very difficult to paint what the reality looks like, because it's more scary and very sad and disastrous than anyone can be able to describe."
In the worst hit area, the Regent district, where dozens of houses were submerged when the hillside collapsed at about 06:00 GMT, those who survived spoke of the family members they had lost - or still hoped to find alive.
"My wife is dead. My children are all dead. This morning my children and I talked before I left for work. One of them even chose the socks I should put on," a man called Malikie told the BBC.
Another woman, called Adama, said she was still searching for her baby.
"We were inside. We heard the mudslide approaching. We were trying to flee. I attempted to grab my baby but the mud was too fast. She was covered, alive.
"I have not seen my husband, Alhaji. My baby was just seven weeks old."
International aid agency Save the Children said one member of staff, along with his children, had disappeared.
His colleague Ramatu Jalloh was driving past Regent at the same time that the wall of mud and debris hit the area.
"A lady ran on to the road and started gesticulating wildly," he said. "She called out to another lady who had been riding a bike in front of us who, after a brief conversation, started crying and looked very upset," she said.
"It was clear from their reactions that something terrible had happened. Soon afterwards, another man ran towards our car. He was crying about the number of lives that had been lost."
Fatmata Sesay, who lives on the hilltop area of Juba, managed to survive the mudslide after she and her family were woken by the pounding rain.
It was then they realised their home had been submerged in water.
"I only managed to escape by climbing to the roof of the house when neighbours came in to rescue me," she told AFP.
"We have lost everything and we do not have a place to sleep."
Earlier, President Koroma urged people to stay away from the affected areas.
"This tragedy of great magnitude has once again challenged us to come together, to stand by each other and to help one another," he said.
"Let me assure you that my government is fully engaged on this situation and in collaboration with our development partners we have already established an emergency response centre at Regent to coordinate our response and to provide relief to the survivors."
Flooding is not unusual in Sierra Leone, where unsafe housing in makeshift settlements can be swept away by heavy rains.
The rains often hit areas in and around Freetown, an overcrowded coastal city of more than one million people.
In 2015, Freetown endured deadly floods sparked by monsoon rains that killed 10 people and left thousands more homeless. | Sierra Leone needs "urgent support" for thousands of people hit by mudslides and massive flooding in the capital, the country's president says. | 40,933,490 | 970 | 35 | false |
The team, which consists of Mesolithic period experts, also found other types of food including salmon and nuts.
David Jacques, from the University of Buckingham, said people living there thousands of years ago were eating a "Heston Blumenthal-style menu".
The team hopes to confirm Amesbury as the UK's oldest continuous settlement.
The dig will run until 25 October.
It is being filmed and made into a documentary by the BBC, Smithsonian, CBC and others to be screened at a later date. The project is being led by the University of Buckingham.
Mr Jacques added: "This is significant for our understanding of the way people were living around 5,000 years before the building of Stonehenge and it begs the question - where are the frogs now?"
The latest information is based on a report by fossil mammal specialist Simon Parfitt, of the Natural History Museum.
He examined the discoveries from the dig which has resulted in 12,000 finds, including 650 animal bones, all from the Mesolithic era.
Andy Rhind-Tutt, chairman of Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust and co-ordinator of the community involvement on the dig, said the studies at Amesbury could help explain why Stonehenge was created.
"No one would have built Stonehenge without there being something unique and really special about the area," he said.
"There must have been something significant here beforehand and Blick Mead, with its constant temperature spring sitting alongside the River Avon, may well be it.
"I believe that as we uncover more about the site over the coming days and weeks, we will discover it to be the greatest, oldest and most significant Mesolithic home base ever found in Britain."
He added: "Currently Thatcham - 40 miles from Amesbury - is proving to be the oldest continuous settlement in the UK with Amesbury 104 years younger.
"By the end of this latest dig, I am sure the records will need to be altered."
The site already boasts the biggest collection of flints and cooked animal bones in north west Europe.
The term Mesolithic refers to specific groups of archaeological cultures defined as falling between the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic periods. | A major archaeological dig in Wiltshire has unearthed evidence of frogs legs being eaten in Britain, 8,000 years before France, it has been claimed. | 24,522,240 | 499 | 37 | false |
Mr Vaizey said there was a "woeful lack of diversity on and off screen" across all British broadcasters.
He said: "The BBC can make a massive, massive difference in this area."
The government is currently negotiating with the corporation about its new royal charter, which will come into force at the start of 2017.
"It's a publicly-funded broadcaster... It is a leader and it can make a massive impact. So I certainly on a personal level will want to debate that as part of charter renewal," he said.
Inserting a diversity commitment in the BBC charter "could potentially happen", he told the Salford International Media Festival.
"But lots of people get involved in charter review - it's not written by me in my back bedroom. If it was it would contain strong commitments on diversity."
The lack of diversity is "a problem across the board", Mr Vaizey said, warning the TV industry that "there are no more excuses".
He told delegates: "We do need to see a lot more progress right across our creative industries, where there is still woeful underrepresentation."
But he stopped short of putting a figure on the minority representation he would like to see, or saying broadcasters should work to a quota.
"My concern about quotas is it ends up moving the debate into a cul-de-sac - it becomes a debate about whether you should have quotas or not rather than a debate about the woeful lack of diversity on and off screen," he said.
Last year, the BBC announced a plan to increase black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) representation on air from 10.4% in 2013 to 15% by 2017, and to increase the portrayal of disabled people from 1.2% to 5% in the same time.
But actor Lenny Henry responded by saying there had been "29 initiatives at the BBC in the last 15 years and numbers (of people from BAME backgrounds working in the industry) have gone down".
This July, director general Tony Hall said "we have begun to make real progress" toward the targets.
In response to Mr Vaizey's comments, a BBC spokesperson said: "Our submission to the government's consultation on charter review clearly says that representing all audiences is a priority for us and that progress has been made, but we want to go further and believe our ambitious range of plans will make a real difference to diversity on and off air."
Hong Kong-born Moore, 23, was the last British player in the event, having overcome world number 67 Christina McHale 6-2 6-2 to reach the last eight.
But the world number 280 could not take any of four break-point chances against Johanna Konta's conqueror Zheng.
She also served five double faults as 22-year-old Zheng won in 83 minutes.
Moore revealed she had been hampered by injury and told BBC Sport: "It was there, I could feel it, but I can't fault Saisai for the way she played, she didn't give me much of an opportunity.
"Every loss is a disappointment. It's been a great week and I have to take the positives and look forward to Birmingham next week. I do think I've improved a lot of things I needed to and going forward I am really excited about how things can progress."
Top-seeded Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic and unseeded Alison Riske of the United States won two matches each on Saturday to reach Sunday's final, after Friday's quarter-finals were washed out.
Pliskova beat Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 6-2 6-2 in 54 minutes after earlier seeing off Ashleigh Barty of Australia 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (9-7).
Riske took three match points to beat Zheng 6-1 7-5 in her semi-final, after earlier beating Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 6-3 6-3.

Thiem earned 14 break points but could convert just one of those as 28-year-old Djokovic registered a 6-3 6-4 win.
"It was far from easy, he has some of the biggest firepower from the back of the court," said Djokovic.
The world number one will play Tomas Berdych - a winner over Richard Gasquet - in the last eight on Wednesday.
Theim, 22, led the ATP Tour alongside Djokovic on 24 wins this year heading into the match.
He pushed hard to recover a break when Djokovic served for the first set, and thought he had done so with a backhand down the line before Hawkeye ruled in the Serb's favour.
Djokovic held on to take the set but needed two breaks and all his defensive ability to keep the Austrian at bay in the second, eventually winning in one hour and 49 minutes.
Czech Berdych earlier beat France's Gasquet 6-4 3-6 7-5, while Australian Nick Kyrgios made his first Masters 1000 quarter-final with a 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 win over American Tim Smyczek and will next face Canada's Milos Raonic.
In the women's draw, Swiss ninth seed Timea Bacsinszky upset Romanian fifth seed Simona Halep 4-6 6-3 6-2.
The result was not the outcome the Republic of Ireland wanted.
Enda Kenny said the Dáil would publish a summary of the key actions it will take to address the issues arising from the decision of the British electorate.
He said the UK vote to leave the European Union will require "careful consideration" by the Dáil.
"I am very sorry that the result of the referendum is for the UK to leave the European Union. However, the British people have spoken and we fully respect their decision," said Mr Kenny.
"I want to assure the Irish public that we have prepared to the greatest extent possible for this eventuality.
"There will be no immediate change to the free flow of people, goods and services between our islands."
With regard to the prospect of a border poll - called for by Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness - Mr Kenny said: "We have more serious issues to deal with in the immediate term and that is where our focus is."
The Irish government, which stayed neutral in the Scottish independence campaign, actively encouraged Irish citizens in the UK to vote to remain in the EU.
"We have previously set out our main concerns in the event of Brexit," said Mr Kenny.
"These relate to the potential impacts for trade and the economy, for Northern Ireland, for the common travel area and for the European Union itself.
"In the medium term, a related concern is that of the Common Travel Area between Britain and Ireland.
"For our part, the Irish Government will do our utmost in upcoming discussions to maintain the Common Travel Area and minimise any possible disruptions to the flow of people, goods and services between these islands."
Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU by a majority of 56% to 44%. But the UK voted by a narrow margin to leave.
Micheál Martin, the leader of the main opposition party Fianna Fáil, has called on the Irish government to be centrally involved in the UK's divorce negotiations to minimise the repercussions and to make clear that despite the historic close links and trade relationships between the two states, Ireland will not be following the British example.
With uncertainty over what happens next and how long the process of UK EU withdrawal will take, there will be concern in Dublin about the implications of the vote for the border with Northern Ireland.
There is also the issue of the impact of a weakening sterling and the effect on trade which is estimated at more than 1bn euro (£819m) between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland every week.
In the course of the campaign, Irish ministers disagreed with Northern Ireland Secretary Teresa Villiers about whether the border would be "hard" or "soft", if the British decided to leave,
Dublin said some form of border control - whether on the border or at airports and ports - was likely to be reintroduced.
The Irish capital city's chamber of commerce has called on the Irish government and Irish MEPs to "act decisively" with the EU to ensure that Irish business interests are protected.
Gina Quin from the chamber called the result "disappointing" and "a major challenge for Irish business, particularly given that the UK is one of Ireland's most important trading partners".
"The focus of everyone in Ireland must be on ensuring that the Irish voice is heard loud and clear in the negotiations which will now take place," she said.
"We must ensure that our trade with the UK and the movement of talent and tourists between our two islands remains on a stable footing."
Meanwhile, one of the towns that sits close to the Republic of Ireland side of the border and relies heavily on cross border trade is braced for the fallout of that UK decision.
In a statement, Dundalk Chamber of Commerce said it was "disappointed" by the the UK vote to leave the EU.
"We would stress that, in the short term, business will continue as before," said Paddy Malone from the chamber.
"The border with Newry will not change in the short term and we would hope that the Irish government will do all in their power to minimise disruption for manufacturers, transport, retail, tourist and employees who live and work in different jurisdictions," he said.
"We must strive to remain good friends and the EU needs to continue to support the peace process."
Mr Dugas, a homosexual flight attendant, gained legendary status in the history of HIV/Aids when he became known as Patient Zero.
But a study, in the journal Nature, showed he was just one of thousands of infected people in the 1970s.
It also showed New York was a crucial hub for the spread of the virus.
Aids only started to be recognised in 1981 when unusual symptoms started appearing in gay men.
But researchers were able to look further back in time by analysing stored blood samples, some of them containing HIV, from hepatitis trials in the 1970s.
The team at the University of Arizona developed a new method to reconstruct the genetic code of the virus in those patients.
And after screening 2,000 samples from New York and San Francisco, the researchers were able to get eight complete HIV genetic codes.
That gave scientists the information they needed to build HIV's family tree and trace when it arrived in the US.
Dr Michael Worobey, one of the researchers, said: "The samples contain so much genetic diversity that they could not have originated in the late 1970s.
"We can place the most precise dates on the origins of the US epidemic at about 1970 or 1971."
The researchers also analysed the genetic code of human immunodeficiency virus taken from Mr Dugas's blood.
Like a failed paternity test, the results showed that the virus in his blood was not the "father" of the US epidemic.
Dr Richard McKay, a science historian at the University of Cambridge, said: "Gaetan Dugas is one of the most demonised patients in history and one of a long line of individuals and groups vilified in the belief that they somehow fuelled epidemics with malicious intent."
The Air Canada employee was labelled Patient O (the letter, not the number) by the US Centres for Disease Control because he was a case "Out-of-California".
Over time the O became a 0 and the term Patient Zero was born. It is still used to this day to describe the index case of an outbreak as with Ebola in west Africa.
Mr Dugas died in 1984, but was identified as Patient Zero in the book And the Band Played On.
The study also uncovered New York's key role in the spread of the infection.
Aids: Origin of pandemic 'was 1920s Kinshasa'
Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo was seen as the city that started the global pandemic. From there it spread to the Caribbean and the US around 1970.
Dr Worobey said: "In New York City, the virus encountered a population that was like dry tinder, causing the epidemic to burn hotter and faster and infecting enough people that it grabs the world's attention for the first time.
"Just as Kinshasa was a key turning point for the pandemic virus as a whole, New York City looks like a turning point and acts as this hub from which the virus moves to the west coast and eventually to Western Europe, Australia, Japan, South America and all sorts of other places."
Prof Oliver Pybus, from the University of Oxford, commented: "This new data helps confirm the picture of HIV's origins in the US.
"It makes a very interesting point about Patient Zero, who has become a talking point in the origins of Aids, yet no matter how attractive a narrative it is, it doesn't have any scientific basis and it's really unfortunate that this person was identified."

Nicholas Smith, 66, of Malestroit, France, carried out the assault on a pupil at Chetham's School of Music between 1976 and 1978.
He was arrested by detectives investigating historical sexual abuse at music schools in Manchester.
Smith was sentenced to eight months in prison at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
The court heard that Smith's victim went to police after the death of violinist Frances Andrade in January 2013.
Mrs Andrade had accused former Chetham's choirmaster Michael Brewer of sexual abuse and took a fatal overdose after learning the jury in his trial was instructed to find him not guilty of several charges.
Brewer was jailed for six years for five counts of indecent assault.
Smith's victim, who knew Mrs Andrade at school, told police her death was like the "curtain of a stage lifted".
The court heard the assault by Smith, when his victim was 15 and he was 30, took "minutes" but ruined her life.
Police said the attack took place while the girl was staying with Smith and his wife at a cottage in Derbyshire.
Smith's barrister Neil Usher said the 66-year-old's "reputation lies in ruins".
"He has gone from being a celebrated and much sought-after conductor here and abroad to being unemployable [and] friends who held him in high regard will not look at him again."
Jailing Smith, Judge Peter Lakin said he had "breached the trust placed in you in a most serious way".
He said Smith's victim had been "highly vulnerable".
"When you were alone with her, you cynically took advantage of her vulnerability and subjected her to a deeply unpleasant and frightening ordeal.
"You pushed her to the ground, dragged her clothes up and then fondled and kissed her exposed breasts.
"This was a forceful sexual assault by someone in authority."
Speaking after the hearing, Det Ch Insp Jamie Daniels said he could "understand why people have drawn comparisons between Michael Brewer and Nicholas Smith".
"Smith, like Brewer, took advantage of a homesick young girl in a location away from school grounds while she was isolated and vulnerable."
CBI president Paul Drechsler will tell the group's annual conference on Monday that ministers should "get on" with it.
In July the Airports Commission published a report backing a third runway, saying it would add £147bn to the economy and 70,000 jobs by 2050.
A final government decision is expected by the end of the year.
Mr Drechsler will also tell the business group that he welcomes a move by Chancellor George Osborne to launch the National Infrastructure Commission to oversee £100bn of spending on infrastructure projects.
"The commission is a chance to end the cycle of politicisation and procrastination that has plagued British infrastructure for decades," he will say.
"However, we must not duck infrastructure decisions which must be made right now.
"On airport capacity, we need strong political leadership and decisive action from government. Britain needs that new runway, so let's get it built."
The issue of Heathrow's expansion has been a long-running and contentious issue.
In 2009, while in opposition, David Cameron ruled out Heathrow expansion, saying "no ifs, no buts".
The Airport Commission's recommendation in July was criticised by competing airport Gatwick, and by London Mayor Boris Johnson, who has argued for a whole new airport.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the most senior member of the civil service in the UK, Sir Jeremy Heywood, wrote to government ministers in the run up to the party conference season, warning them against speaking out about the matter.
Environmentalists and residents who live near the flight path of the proposed third runway have also campaigned against it.
On the subject of Europe, Mr Drechsler will tell the 1,000 delegates at the CBI's London event that he hopes the UK will remain part of a reformed European Union.
"The majority of our members think that, on balance, the advantages of EU membership outweigh the disadvantages.
"And when we see the reforms the prime minister achieves and expects to achieve over time, we will ask you again for your views.
"Of course we know that Europe is far from perfect. New regulation must be a last resort, not a first response."
Momos, steamed meat or vegetable dumplings, are often associated with Tibetan and Nepali cuisine.
Ramesh Arora, from Indian-administered Kashmir, wants them banned for causing "life-threatening diseases".
He says they contain the food additive MSG which many Indians believe to be harmful.
However, some global studies have shown that monosodium glutamate is not as unhealthy as it is made out to be.
Reaction to Mr Arora's campaign has ranged from amusement to outrage.
Mr Arora has reportedly been campaigning against momos very seriously. The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that he has been speaking about the supposed bad effects of momos for at least five months.
But it's not just momos that have him worried.
Mr Arora says Chinese street food - also popular with Indians - is also full of MSG and can cause illnesses like stomach cancer, migraines and obesity.
Many Indians are aware that these foods contain MSG flavouring, but this has clearly not deterred them from eating them.
The Food and Drug Association (FDA) in the US says the addition of MSG to foods is GRAS, or Generally Recognised As Safe.
Mr Arora has also met the state health minister, Bali Bhagat, in an effort to convince him to ban the offending foods.
But for thousands of hungry Indians, there seems to be no move to take them off the streets just yet.
Council elections take place in May for every local authority in Wales - but do you think you have what it takes to be a councillor?
Maybe you're angry about bin collections, or the way the local school is performing and you want to shake things up.
You might think your local authority is doing a great job and you want to sign up to continue the good work.
Well, now is your chance, because in May, Wales will go to the polls for local authority elections. That's why some councils are holding taster sessions, to explain more to wannabe councillors about what the role entails.
But if Denbighshire council's session at the Nova Centre in Prestatyn on Wednesday night is anything to go by, some authorities have their work cut out simply getting people through the doors.
Excluding organisers and council staff, only six people turned up to the meeting. One of those is already a serving councillor and another was there simply to support his wife, who is interested in standing in the election.
This was the third of four sessions Denbighshire is running, and turnout has not been good.
About seven turned up to a meeting in Ruthin, and even fewer at the session in Rhyl. The council is hoping more will be encouraged to attend their final session in Denbigh later this month.
Denbighshire's chief executive, Mohammed Mehmet, told those present on Wednesday that turnout had been better at similar events held in 2012.
"The turnout to the roadshows has not been overwhelming," he said, but added: "I'm not too concerned about that. If we have people present who are seriously thinking about it, and this is useful, then five or six people is okay."
Asked if the fact they are holding these sessions signifies there is a shortage of people willing to put themselves forward, Gary Williams, Denbighshire's head of legal, HR and democratic services, said: "I don't think there's a shortage. We fill all the seats.
"But we are keen to encourage as many people as possible to want to take part, and the idea of these evenings is to give people the information to enable them to make a considered decision as to whether or not it's the right thing for them."
Barry Mellor, who represents the east ward of Rhyl, was just months into his role as a county councillor when floods struck the town in 2013. He told the audience this was an example of how varied work as a councillor can be.
"That was a baptism of fire, to come in as a councillor six months before that... 140 houses were devastated.... by probably nine o clock that evening we'd relocated everybody out of those 140 houses."
Prospective councillors also need to be prepared to give their own time and open their doors to strangers, he said.
"I've got somebody coming round to my house tomorrow night to discuss a business venture. If I can help, I will."
Incredibly "proud" to be a councillor, Mr Mellor admitted you need "thick skin and heavy shoulders" to perform the role well.
And the one quality you need above all others?
"Honesty. All I believe, is if you get asked to do something and you can't do it, explain to the people you can't do it, and they appreciate that much more."
The sessions provide information on allowances and salaries. The basic allowance is currently £13,200 a year, which is due to rise by £100 after May. Other allowances are available for certain roles with added responsibilities.
If they are successful and get voted in, councillors receive iPads and IT support, will be trained on subjects ranging from how to chair meetings, how to improve questioning skills and - a relatively new addition to the councillor's skillset - how to use social media.
The importance of appropriate behaviour in public office was also stressed. One useful anecdote on the night explained how "running down the street stark naked wearing a Red Indian head dress" is probably not the way to win any favours with the ombudsman.
The audience was told that even if they decide against running for the county elections, town and community councils are finding it "really difficult to get people to stand", and would welcome new blood.
Andrea Tomlin, from Prestatyn, attended the meeting with her husband, because she is interested in "getting a little bit more involved in my community".
However, she said: "I have definitely been swayed that county council isn't for me at the moment due to the time commitment I believe it demands of you. With having my own business and working full time in it I don't think I could dedicate the time that that role deserves."
However, she is considering standing for Prestatyn town council.
On the low turnout on the night, she said: "It doesn't surprise me, it disappoints me, because I just feel that there are so many people out there with thoughts and ideas and opinions on things in their own local community, on their own local streets. This is a good forum for them to be able to do that and they are not taking that opportunity.
"And it feels to me as if the same old, same old people might be coming through again, which is why I might consider getting involved this time."
France's 12th seed Kristina Mladenovic complained about a "damaged" court in her second-round defeat on Thursday.
Following his four-set win against against Fabio Fognini on Centre Court, Andy Murray said the court conditions were "not as good as previous years", while Jamie added they "weren't good."
Italian Fognini went further, saying they are "really, really bad".
Temperatures have reached 30C in the first week at Wimbledon, with little rain.
Head groundsman Neil Stubley said: "Obviously we're dealing with the extreme heat, which we're not used to every single Championships.
"There's not a doubt in our minds that the courts will be as good as they need to be for the end of the Championships."
The first week of last year's tournament was affected by bad weather, with organisers forced to schedule matches on the middle Sunday.
At one point in Friday's third-round match, a return from Fognini bounced on the baseline underneath Andy Murray's racket.
"There's quite a few spots on the court, just behind the baseline and just in front of the baseline, where there are quite big lumps of grass, almost like little divots there, which I don't remember really being the case before," defending champion Murray said.
"I don't think the court is in as good a condition as previous years.
"I don't know if it's anything to do with the weather that they've had over the last few weeks and months. It's been pretty hot, pretty extreme conditions. Not much rain."
The 30-year-old is back on Centre Court against Frenchman Benoit Paire on Monday.
And he added: "The court, when I played the first match, was great. I think it's just getting a bit beaten up early. A few of the players have said that about some of the outside courts as well."
Mladenovic twisted an ankle in the warm-up and damaged a knee during her defeat by American Alison Riske on court 18.
She said both players wanted to stop after only two games "in case something bad happened".
Jamie Murray was knocked out of the men's doubles in the second round on Friday on court 18.
He told the Times: "Wimbledon think they're the best tournament in the world, so they need to be held to those standards, and I don't think that this year the courts were [of] as high a standard as they could have been."
Despite his strong criticism, Fognini agreed that the hot conditions had caused the problem, saying: "They do the best that they can. It's not their fault. I think this year was really sunny days, so the grass is not really good like the last years."
Stubley added: "The players have their reasons why they're saying they're more slippery. I don't know if there's been more slips this year or whether it's just a couple of high-profile ones.
"We listen to players, because their feedback is important. But the data shows to us those courts that are in question are within range of the other courts, and they are within the range of previous years."
Cooler temperatures are forecast for the second week, but there is currently no rain predicted.
Norman Jones, 81, of Pentre Halkyn, said he could not explain what happened and put it down to his dementia.
Pleading guilty by letter, he apologised and said this crash made it clear he is no longer fit to drive.
Magistrates, who are considering a driving ban, adjourned sentence for two weeks for Jones to be present.
The incident happened shortly before 11:00 BST on 7 December, 2013, in Mold town centre.
Prosecutor Shaun Bartlett-Evans said ten pedestrians were injured when Jones's Citroen Picasso entered the pedestrian section of the high street during the twice-weekly market, which was busy with shoppers.
Witnesses described how the defendant, with his wife in the passenger seat, came down the high street and overtook two cars which were parked at the traffic lights.
With the engine said to be revving, he pulled out to avoid hitting the cars ahead, drove through the junction and careered into the pedestrianised area where the market was being held.
The vehicle collided with market stalls and pedestrians.
Three women were injured; one suffered serious leg injuries which resulted in seven pins being inserted and may require a knee replacement; a second broke her leg and ankle while a third suffered broken ribs, an ankle injury and bruising.
Six other women and a man were also hurt.
In his letter pleading guilty, Jones, who previously has a clean driving licence, said he had been diagnosed with memory loss and dementia some 18 months ago.
He said he was still at a loss to understand what happened and could only assume that it was associated with his medical condition.
He has since given up his licence.
Magistrates said that it was a serious matter with a high degree of culpability, there were serious circumstances surrounding the case and the defendant was needed in court to be sentenced.
The team have struggled in the first four races, with a best result of fifth place for Jenson Button in China.
Button said he was "pragmatic" about the upgrade's potential impact.
He said: "There'll be elements that work, elements that perhaps work in a different way than anticipated and elements that don't work. That's life."
McLaren ended last season with the fastest car, with Lewis Hamilton and Button winning the last two races of 2012.
McLaren have accrued just 23 points after the first four races of 2013, compared to 92 at the same time in 2012
But they chose to make major design changes for 2013 while most other teams evolved their previous cars, and its aerodynamics have not worked as expected.
The car has been suffering from a lack of downforce and poor ride and McLaren were so desperate to make some progress after the first two races that they introduced some new parts for the third race in China without them going through the team's normal rigorous simulation process.
Button said he hoped that running the car again on the Circuit de Catalunya, where two of the three pre-season tests took place, would give McLaren fresh insight into the car.
"It's been difficult for the team to make consistent progress in the first four races," he said, "but I think returning to a circuit where we undertook two of the pre-season tests will give us a useful benchmark for our progress so far.
"There's been a lot of talk about the importance of next weekend's upgrades but, as with every upgrade, they're simply part of the series of continuous improvements that are made across the season."
He added: "Of course, I'm hopeful that it'll move us a step closer to the destination."
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh said only that the team were "pushing ahead to develop MP4-28 and will be hoping for a productive weekend that will allow us gather a useful data set for the races ahead".
Mr Choudary, 48, from Ilford, east London, was bailed last Friday when he appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from Belmarsh Prison.
A judge said Mr Choudary had found someone to stand surety of £15,000.
At an earlier hearing he indicated he would plead not guilty to the charges.
Another man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, is also accused of inviting support for so-called Islamic State (IS).
He remains on remand but has been granted bail in principle on the same conditions, should a suitable individual be identified to offer surety.
Both men have already spent months on police bail following their arrest last September. They were remanded in custody after being charged in August.
The charges against Mr Rahman, from Whitechapel, also in east London, and Mr Choudary relate to social media activity between 29 June 2014 and 6 March 2015.
Mr Rahman has also indicated he denies the charge.
Mr Choudary and Mr Rahman are due back in court for a plea and case management hearing on 11 December, with a provisional trial date set for 11 January 2016.
The trial is scheduled to be heard by a High Court judge and is expected to last three to four weeks.
The very future of the African elephant, the largest land animal on Earth, could be at risk.
Last year saw the highest number of large seizures of illegal ivory for more than two decades.
From Kenya to Zambia, African law-enforcement and conservation authorities are facing a continuing battle with the poachers.
And it is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where governance is at its weakest, that the elephant population is being hit hardest, with thousands of elephants killed each year.
Conservationists have recorded steep declines in population and fear fewer than 20,000 of the region's forest elephants remain in the Congo basin.

In Kinshasa, the capital of DRC, poached ivory is openly on sale at large, unregulated markets.
While traders were wary of being filmed by a BBC TV crew, a Chinese undercover reporter working for Panorama quickly attracted the attention of sellers, using the Chinese word for ivory to good effect.
The reporter was offered whole raw ivory tusks in one market, including one giant piece about 1.5m long for $10,000 (£6,000).
Tom Milliken, who monitors and campaigns against the illegal trade in ivory, was not surprised at Panorama's findings. "These markets are patronised by ex-pat communities and Chinese business," he said.
"We've been in the market in Kinshasa where we've estimated the ivory from more than 200 elephants has been on the tables for sale on a single day," he said.
Poached ivory from Congo or other countries is often shipped out via Kenya. Despite policing efforts, nearly 85% of ivory seized from around the world that could be traced had come from or passed through East Africa, much of it via the international airport at Nairobi.
Kenyan officials are in no doubt of its destination. "Ninety per cent of all the people we have arrested at the airports ferrying ivory are Chinese," said Julius Kipng'etich, director of the Kenya Wildlife Service.
"The destinations of all contraband ivory are always neighbouring countries around China."
Until the middle of last year Malaysia had not made a single large ivory seizure in nearly a decade. But there have been several large seizures since then, amounting to six tonnes of ivory that would have come from approximately 700 dead elephants.
But Malaysia is just one of a number of staging posts for the ivory. Most is on its way to China where it has been traded and treasured for centuries and remains available legally because of an internationally sanctioned deal.
A 1989 ban rules out international trade, but in 2008, China and Japan were allowed to make a one-off purchase of legally sourced African ivory, provided there was proper regulation of the domestic market.
Every ivory shop has to be officially registered with the authorities and every item on display is supposed to have its own identification card so that every piece of ivory can be tracked after sale.
But Panorama had no difficultly buying ivory without certification at one of the state-approved shops, licensed by the authorities to sell ivory, that exist in a number of Chinese cities.
At the Friendship Store in Guangzhou, a BBC undercover team found many items with no accompanying certificate on display.
The team bought a necklace clasp from the shop which cost around £15, but the shop did not issue an ID card with it, making it impossible to prove that the ivory was legal.
The findings are in line with other reports on ivory sales in China including by ivory trade expert Dr Esmond Bradley Martin. "What we found in Guangzhou was that 63% of the items did not have the proper identification."
"Now the regulations also say… you need to have it close-by to the individual piece. We found that that wasn't always the case."
According to the Friendship Store, all its ivory products complied with regulations, and they had all the necessary paperwork on the day we filmed.
Away from the legal shops, Panorama was also able to access ivory in China on the black market.
One dealer offered 15 items of ivory worth nearly £50,000, which she said could be delivered within 24 hours. The biggest single item she had on sale was an uncarved tusk, priced at £4,000.
No direct link has yet been found between the legal sales and increased killings or trade. But campaigners fear the existence of a legal trade is helping to provide cover for a much more extensive black market.
The decision to allow further legal ivory into the country in 2008 made the situation worse, according to Grace Ge Gabriel, from the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
"We have found that every one legal activity comes with nearly six illegal trading activities. So this domestic market provides opportunity for people to launder illegally obtained ivory," she said.
In a statement, the Chinese government said it had a "consistent and firm position to fight against the illegal trade of ivory". It said possible individual breaches should not be used to deny "the efforts and progress China has made".
The debate over the legal ivory trade is set to be reignited later this year when more African countries are expected to put in requests to sell stockpiled ivory.
Supporters say countries that properly protect their elephants should be allowed to profit from them. "It's vital that local people and the countries where elephants are present in large numbers get a benefit, economic benefit from the use of ivory," said Robin Sharp, of the European Sustainable Use Specialist Group
But opponents argue further sales will fuel demand and fear that China's booming economy means there will be an ever-growing market. "What is at the heart of the illegal killing of elephants in Africa? Money," concludes Dr Bradley Martin.
Securing the future of Africa's elephant will mean not just beating the poachers but also tackling black-market sales on the other side of the world in China.

The visitors beat Zulia 2-1 in the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo in their first ever Copa Libertadores tie, South America's main regional tournament.
The win puts them top of Group 7.
Chapecoense only won promotion to Brazil's top division in 2014 but they surprised everyone when they reached last year's Copa Sudamericana final.
They were on their way to the first leg of that match when the plane went down near the Colombian city of Medellin.
Only six people on board survived, including three players: goalkeeper Jackson Follmann, defender Neto and winger Alan Ruschel.
Chapecoense included Neto and Ruschel in their squad for Tuesday's match.
Harcourt Developments lost the contract for the Esplanade Quarter in 2009.
The firm is attempting to take Senator Philip Ozouf and the States of Jersey Development Company (SOJDC) to court.
The SOJDC said the agreement was terminated after the firm was not forthcoming when asked for evidence it could finance the development.
The firm said it signed an agreement in 2007 making it the preferred development partner to build 400 homes, offices and a public garden on the Esplanade Quarter.
Harcourt began the process of initiating legal action last year.
In a preliminary hearing in the Royal Court, Solicitor General Howard Sharp, representing Senator Ozouf, argued the minister and the States had the final say over whether the development would go ahead.
The company's lawyers argue the agreement at that stage was binding.
Further legal arguments are due to be heard in two weeks before Bailiff Sir Michael Birt decides whether it will go to court.
In 2012 the Jersey Development Company released plans for an international finance centre on the site with work due to start in 2013.

Luxury ocean liner the Queen Mary 2 has rescued lone yachtsman Mervyn Wheatley after he issued a mayday.
A massive storm, which saw 15m waves and 60-knot winds, left a number of yachts in trouble.
The boats are competing in a transatlantic race hosted by the Royal Western Yacht Club (RWYC).
A Cunard spokesman said that the QM2 was involved in a rescue operation "at the request of the US Coastguard".
Mr Wheatley is now on board the QM2, is said to be safe and well and is now on his way to Halifax.
One race yacht sank, and another lost its mast. The race began on 29 May.
The Canadian Armed Forces says a fourth yacht has also declared an emergency but it is not known if this vessel is part of the race.
The transatlantic race involves 22 boats made up of solo sailors and crews of two, racing race from Plymouth to Newport, Rhode Island in the US.
The RWYC said it has been liaising with coastguard teams and says everyone is now safe.
Mr Wheatley, 73, scuppered his yacht Tamarind after it was knocked sideways and a porthole was smashed sending water flooding into the boat.
His wife Penny said the yacht was knocked over during a hurricane on Friday at about 02:00 BST.
"He was down below when the mast went under water.
"It meant everything was thrown across the cabin and he thinks some plywood went through the porthole and in came the water."
She also said he scuppered the boat so it would not be a danger to other shipping.
"He is fine, just tired. He has never lost another boat. The last 36 hours have been a nightmare, because she could have gone down with him on board.
"There's no way he would have survived on a life-raft in those conditions."
John Lewis, race director for the RWYC, told the BBC that three race competitors gave off emergency signals, and a further two needed help from the Canadian coastguard in Halifax.
"I've been involved with these races for 25 years now, and this is the most extreme low depression going across the Atlantic at this time of year.
"So it's very unusual, but these are professional sailors, they're used to arduous conditions but not really a once in a lifetime storm like this one."
The captain of Queen Mary 2, Chris Wells, said Mr Wheatley had been found in "big seas" with high waves, and was brought aboard via the ship's rescue boat.
Mr Wells added: "He is very happy to be here. I think he will have a much more leisurely and luxury transit to the other side of the Atlantic than he would have done in his 38-foot boat."
A spokeswoman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said an RAF C-130 Hercules aircraft had been sent from the UK to help by providing top cover and communications assistance.
Tarun Vijay, of the ruling BJP, was speaking to al-Jazeera about recent attacks on African nationals in India.
African envoys have called the incidents racist in nature.
But defending India, Mr Vijay said: "If we were racist, why would we have the south? Why do we live with them? We have black people around us."
The comments triggered an immediate response on Twitter, with many south Indians asking if Mr Vijay was implying that the rest of India "chose" to live with them.
Much of the outrage stems from the fact that there have been historical tensions between northern and southern Indians, based on language, culture and even skin colour.
Mr Vijay quickly tried to carry out some damage control on his Twitter account, saying that he had "framed" the sentence badly and adding that Indians were victims of the "racist British".
What he was trying to say, he said, was that Indians had fought racism and had "people with different colour and culture" but did not have any racism.
However, Mr Vijay's attempts to explain did not seem to convince too many people, who continued to ridicule him.
A spokesman for the party admitted that Mr Vijay could have "worded the comment differently".
Mr Vijay was talking to al-Jazeera about attacks last month in Greater Noida, near Delhi, on a number of Nigerian nationals. Five Nigerian students were attacked by crowds, while another was beaten by a mob inside a shopping mall.
Police say five people have been arrested over the violence and India's Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has promised an "impartial" inquiry.

In 2014, Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, was summoned to Rome to become chief of the Vatican's finances, a new position created by Pope Francis in the wake of scandals at the Vatican Bank.
But Cardinal Pell left another scandal behind him, and the anger over widespread sexual abuse of children by members of the Catholic clergy continues to rage in Australia.
The cardinal was once again under fire this week over his refusal, on medical grounds, to return home to front the Royal Commission which is investigating how various institutions responded to the child abuse allegations.
Tall and imperious, seen as aloof and arrogant by detractors, the 74-year-old has repeatedly faced allegations from abuse victims of a cover-up.
These include that he was involved in moving notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale around parishes rather than reporting him, and that he attempted to bribe one of the victims of the now jailed priest to keep quiet.
Cardinal Pell, who studied at Oxford and was a promising Australian Rules footballer in his youth, has repeatedly denied all allegations, while expressing regret for abuse victims.
The cardinal is not facing any criminal charges, but critics say the publicity surrounding abuse which happened on his watch has made his Vatican position untenable.
It was a biting satirical song from Tim Minchin, one of Australia's best known comedians, that propelled Cardinal Pell's refusal to return to Australia back into headlines this week.
Minchin calls the cardinal a litany of names, among them "coward" and "pompous buffoon". He ends by challenging Cardinal Pell to come home, if not "by a sense of moral duty", then perhaps to "sue me".
The lyrical assault was criticised by some. Jesuit priest and human rights lawyer Father Frank Brennan told broadcaster ABC that openly mocking a key witness risked turning the commission into a laughing stock, which would damage victims.
But the song was well-received elsewhere and has been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube. All proceeds from it are being donated to a public funding drive that aims to send up to 15 witnesses, including abuse victims, to watch Cardinal Pell's testimony in Rome.
That funding drive, launched by presenters from Australian television show The Project, has now raised more than A$175,000 ($125,000; £87,000).
The cardinal was moved to hit back, saying there had been "a great deal of incorrect information".
"Cardinal Pell has always helped victims, listened to them and considered himself their ally", said a statement released by his office on Thursday.
"As an archbishop for almost 20 years he has led from the front to put an end to cover-ups, to protect vulnerable people and to try to bring justice to victims."
"The cardinal is anxious to present the facts without further delays. It is ultimately a matter for the royal commission to determine the precise arrangements for the provision of evidence by the cardinal in Rome."
The cardinal has already been before the commission twice, appearing first in person regarding a single case of abuse in Sydney, and then giving evidence by video link from Rome into a second Melbourne matter.
Then last June he was called to give evidence a third time at hearings in Ballarat, a city of 100,000 people just outside Melbourne that was allegedly a hotspot of Catholic church sexual abuse.
Explosive allegations have arisen from the city where Cardinal Pell was a priest from 1973-83, at one stage living in a presbytery with Ridsdale.
The cardinal initially said he would be willing to attend the commission, but later his lawyers said he was too unwell to fly to Australia due to a heart condition.
Commission chair Justice Peter McClellan in December rejected a bid that Cardinal Pell be allowed to give evidence via video link and said he should testify in person, comments which drew applause from victims at the commission hearing.
But last week Justice McLennan bowed to further medical evidence from lawyers. The cardinal is slated to begin three days of evidence by video link on 29 February.
Despite Minchin's taunts of cowardice, Cardinal Pell's critics are not expecting to see him back in Australia anytime soon.

Championship leader Rosberg accepted responsibility for the collision, calling it an "error of judgement".
The team handed out an undisclosed punishment to Rosberg, likely to be a fine, while agreeing to let them continue racing for the world title.
They have been warned another similar incident "will not be tolerated".
While Rosberg apologised to Hamilton in a statement on Friday, his British team-mate responded by admitting "we have both made mistakes".
The two drivers collided on lap two of Sunday's race as Rosberg attempted to overtake Hamilton at the Les Combes chicane.
Rosberg's front wing hit Hamilton's left rear tyre, damaging the wing and giving Hamilton a puncture which eventually caused the 2008 world champion's retirement.
Rosberg recovered to finish second behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, moving into a 29-point championship lead over Hamilton with a maximum of 200 still available over the remaining seven races.
The incident was the culmination of ever-building tension between the two over the preceding 11 races.
It was a consequence of Rosberg wanting to prove a point to Hamilton that he would not be intimidated in wheel-to-wheel racing, after being forced to back out of passing moves in previous battles in the Bahrain and Hungarian Grands Prix.
But in the meeting on Friday Mercedes head of motorsport Toto Wolff and executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe made it clear such actions were unacceptable and laid down strict guidelines for future racing between the two.
The statement said: "During the meeting, Nico acknowledged his responsibility for the contact that occurred on lap two of the Belgian Grand Prix and apologised for this error of judgement.
"Suitable disciplinary measures have been taken for the incident.
"Mercedes-Benz remains committed to hard, fair racing because this is the right way to win world championships. It is good for the team, for the fans and for Formula 1.
"Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team's number one rule: there must be no contact between the team's cars on track.
"They remain free to race for the 2014 FIA Formula 1 world championship.
Rosberg released a statement on Friday on his Facebook page, issuing a further apology.
He said: "After meeting with Toto, Paddy and Lewis, I wish to go a step further and describe it as an error of judgement on my part.
"The number one rule for us as team-mates is that we must not collide but that is exactly what happened.
"For that error of judgement, I apologise to Lewis and the team. I also want to say sorry to the fans who were deprived of our battle for the lead in Belgium.
"Lewis and I have been given clear instructions about how we race each other.
"As drivers, we have a clear responsibility to the team, the fans of the sport, our partners and Mercedes-Benz to deliver clean racing. We take that responsibility very seriously."
Hamilton then issued his own Facebook statement, which said: "Nico and I accept that we have both made mistakes and I feel it would be wrong to point fingers and say which one is worse than the other.
"What's important is how we rise as a team from these situations. We win and we lose together and, as a team, we will emerge stronger.
"There is a deep foundation that still exists for me and Nico to work from, in spite of our difficult times and differences.
"The fans want to see a clean fight until the end of the season and that's what we want to give them."
The Orchard men led by four points after 50 minutes but let their lead slip as they had Mark Shields and Aidan Forker dismissed in the second half.
Laois had Paul Kingston sent-off in the latter stages for a second yellow card.
Matthew Fitzpatrick's second half goal proved a mere consolation as Antrim suffered a 0-23 to 1-7 trouncing at Offaly, their second defeat in a row.
Playing against a strong breeze, the Saffrons trailed 0-9 to 0-4 at the interval and they fell further behind in the second half, their deficit 13 points by the finish.
Antrim were forced to play the last 10 minutes with 14 men after having substitute Jack Hannigan black-carded.
Graham Guilfoyle (2), Fitzpatrick (2), Paddy McBride, Ryan Murray and CJ McGourty pointed for the Ulster county.
Niall Donoher scored a first half goal for Laois as they went in level at 1-4 to 0-7 against Armagh, the home side's points coming from Stefan Campbell (2), Oisin O'Neill (2), Rory Grugan, Forker and Stephen Sheridan.
Jamie Clarke and Niall Roland were among the scorers in the second half as Kieran McGeeney's side built up a four-point lead despite having Shields red-carded for a second yellow.
Donal Kingston's 57th-minute penalty brought Laois to within a point at 0-14 to 2-7 by the 57th minute and those three late points proved decisive for the visitors as Forker and Kingston were both sent-off.
The result will come as a further disappointment to Armagh as they let a six-point lead slip to draw with Sligo in their opening match of the campaign last week.
Antrim lost to Tipperary at Thurles in their first fixture last weekend.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Russian air force could support the Free Syrian Army provided the US shares information about rebel positions.
The FSA has so far been among the rebel groups targeted by Russian strikes which have drawn Western criticism.
Russia is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
It has been bombing targets in Syria since last month and says it is primarily hitting IS positions.
But Western powers say most of the air strikes have hit the FSA and other factions backed by the West and Gulf states.
In a TV interview, Mr Lavrov said that the refusal of the US to co-ordinate their anti-terrorism campaign with Russia had been "a big mistake".
The foreign minister said that in addition Russia was ready to support the FSA, but was hampered in doing this because the US was refusing to provide information about rebel and IS positions.
He said that a "correct understanding" of developments in war-torn Syria was emerging among Western politicians amid Europe's migrant crisis.
The interview was recorded before talks on Friday with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Vienna. The transcript was released on Saturday.
Mr Kerry said the talks had been "constructive" and that an expanded round of negotiations could take place next week.
On Thursday, President Putin suggested the Syrian regime could be ready to work with some rebel groups against IS.
Mr Putin said President Assad had agreed to the idea on a recent visit to Moscow.
The US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all support rebel groups fighting the Syrian government.
Russia backs President Assad, whose visit to Moscow on Tuesday was criticised by the US.
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.
The entrepreneur and star of BBC's The Apprentice tweeted that one of his Twitter "racial abusers" was convicted at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.
He added that the "level of abuse was so great I had to ask for help".
The court said the 17-year-old, from Preston, Lancashire, admitted sending racially aggravated communication and was handed an eight-month referral to a youth offender panel.
He was also told to pay £85 costs, a £15 victim surcharge and £100 compensation to Lord Sugar at the hearing on Wednesday.
In a series of tweets, Lord Sugar, who lives in Chigwell, thanked Essex Police for "tracking him down".
Responding to a follower who said "surely the police have better things to do", he said: "They do but the level of abuse was so great I had to ask for help and am truly grateful something had to be done."
Lord Sugar himself was investigated by Merseyside Police in 2013 after being accused of posting a racist message on Twitter, but it said "no criminal offences" had taken place.
The Swans' dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool lifted them off the foot of the Premier League table.
Head coach Clement says they have to consolidate that performance against Saints at the Liberty Stadium.
"We have to keep our performances going at home and trying to back up an away win with three points," he said.
"This game is more important than the Liverpool game.
"It has lifted the mood. A lot of people in the city will have seen it and there is a real belief and most importantly the players have it, I can sense it in them.
"They believe that something special can be done this season."
Southampton are 11th in the Premier League, place and nine points better off than 17th-placed Swansea.
Clement admits it is odd to be playing on the final evening of the January transfer window.
But he is happy that striker Fernando Llorente will still be a Swansea player on 1 February.
The Spain international has scored seven goals in his last 11 appearances while being linked with a move to leaders Chelsea.
Clement revealed that Llorente's two goals in the win at Liverpool in their last Premier League outing persuaded the 31-year-old to stay in south Wales.
Asked if he was convinced Llorente was going to stay in January, Clement replied: "No, not always.
"But after that game he had at Liverpool, he felt good.
"We're happy with him so when both parties are happy, there's no need to move.
"Of course, it (interest) can put questions in a player's mind, but in my conversations with him he has been happy here.
"He has seen how the team is starting to play and he is very important to us."
Swansea expect to complete the signing of Ghana international Jordan Ayew from Aston Villa on Tuesday, with defender Neil Taylor moving in the opposite direction.
The deal will also see Villa receive a fee which could rise to £5m.
But Swansea are now unlikely to sign a central defender.
There was interest in Benfica's Argentina international Lisandro Lopez, but a loan move for the 33-year-old has been ruled out. | The government should force the BBC to improve its diversity by inserting a clause into its new charter, according to broadcasting minister Ed Vaizey.

He was forced off the field towards the end of the first half of the Lions' 22-16 loss to the Blues in the second game of their New Zealand tour.
"The medics think he'll be fine during the week and should be OK," said Gatland.
Centre Jared Payne also left the field with a "tight calf" in the second half.
Payne was a late withdrawal from the Lions' opening win over a Provincial Union XV on Saturday because of a calf injury.
"Jared's had that calf (problem) for a while, so the pleasing thing is he's got through 50 to 60 minutes," said the Lions coach.
Biggar's Wales and Ospreys half-back partner Rhys Webb came off in the second half, with the scrum-half suffering with cramp.

The strike - the first of its kind since November - targeted militants and heavy weapons near the city of Palmyra, the Russian defence ministry said.
The militants had been redeployed from the IS stronghold of Raqqa, it added.
Russia has been carrying out air and missile strikes in support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since 2015.
Government forces recaptured Palmyra and its Unesco World Heritage-listed ruins with Russian help in March 2016, but were driven out by IS eight months later.
They eventually regained the city this March, but fighting continues nearby.
The Russian defence ministry said the frigate Admiral Essen and the submarine Krasnodar had fired Kalibr cruise missiles at "shelters" east of Palmyra, where a group of heavily armed militants previously deployed in Raqqa were based.
"All the targets were hit," it added.
The US, Turkish and Israeli militaries "were informed in a timely manner of the missile launches through existing communication channels".
Earlier this month Russia agreed with Iran, another Assad ally, and Turkey, a key backer of the opposition, to establish "de-escalation" zones in western Syria in an attempt to shore up a cessation of hostilities between the government and rebels.

Prof Barry Spurr referred to Aboriginal people as "human rubbish tips" and used racist terms to refer to Muslims and Asians in Australia.
The poetry professor said the emails were part of a "whimsical" game, but students are demanding his dismissal.
In a recent review of the curriculum, Prof Spurr had advised that schools teach less Aboriginal literature.
The emails were obtained by Australian magazine New Matilda, which said they had been sent to about a dozen people, including officials and academics at the university between September 2012 and late 2014.
In them Prof Spurr refers to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott an "Abo-lover" - an offensive term for Aborigines - and to Nelson Mandela as a "darky".
The magazine said he also referred to the "modern Brit" as "the scum of the earth".
Prof Spurr does not deny sending the emails but told New Matilda that they were part of a "whimsical linguistic game".
They were not a reflection of his views nor the recipients', but were "repartee, mocking, in fact, that very kind of extreme language", the magazine quoted him as saying.
He said he had always treated all his students with "equity and dignity".
Education Minister Christopher Pyne said in a statement the emails were a matter for Prof Spurr but called them "repugnant".
He said the government had not made the decision to appoint Prof Spurr as a consultant for the review of the national English curriculum. He was brought on as a specialist advisor by the heads of the review, he said.
One of Prof Spurr's contributions to the review had been to advise the government to focus less on teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literature. Instead he advocated a stronger emphasis on Western writing.
Prof Spurr wrote that "the impact of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on literature in English in Australia has been minimal and is vastly outweighed by the impact of global literature in English, and especially that from Britain, on our literary culture".
Michelle Rowland, the opposition spokesperson on multiculturalism, said Mr Pyne could not just distance himself from the comments.
"The buck must surely stop with someone, and it must stop with the minister," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The University of Sydney said in a statement: "Racist, sexist or offensive language is not tolerated at the University of Sydney."
The university has suspended Prof Spurr but the the BBC's Jon Donnison in Sydney said students there are calling for him to be sacked.
Rats regained some bladder control after surgery to transplant nerve cells into the spinal cord, combined with injections of a cocktail of chemicals.
The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, could raise hopes for one day treating paralysed patients.
But UK experts say it will take several years of research before human clinical trials can be considered.
Scientists have tried for decades to use transplants of nerve cells to restore function in paralysed animals by bridging the gap in the broken spinal cord.
However, coaxing the cells to grow and form new connections has proved elusive.
One problem is the growth of scar tissue as the body's responds to injury, which seems to block cell regeneration.
US scientists carried out complex surgery to transplant nerves from the rodents' ribs into the gap in the middle of their spinal cord.
They also used a special "glue" that boosts cell growth together with a chemical that breaks down scar tissue in an attempt to encourage the nerve cells to regenerate and connect up.
The researchers found for the first time that injured nerve cells could re-grow for "remarkably long distances" (about 2cm).
They said that while the rats did not regain the ability to walk, they did recover some bladder function.
Lead author Dr Jerry Silver of Case Western Reserve Medical School, Cleveland, Ohio, said: "Although animals did not regain the ability to walk, they did recover a remarkable measure of urinary control."
Co-author Dr Yu-Shang Lee of the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, added: "This is the first time that significant bladder function has been restored via nerve regeneration after a devastating cord injury."
The findings may help future efforts to restore other functions lost after spinal cord injury.
They also raise hope that similar strategies could one day be used to restore bladder function in people with severe spinal cord injuries.
Dr Silver said further animal experiments will be needed to see if the technique could work in humans.
He told BBC News: "If we can show in a larger animal that our technique works and does no additional harm I see no reason why we couldn't move rapidly in humans."
Commenting on the study, Dr Elizabeth Bradbury of King's College London said several challenges must be overcome before the therapy can be trialled in patients.
"There are a number of challenges before this therapy can be brought to the clinic," she said.
"Nevertheless this is a remarkable advance which offers great hope for the future of restoring bladder function to spinal injured patients and if these challenges can be met we could be reaching clinical trials within three to five years."
Dr John Williams, head of neuroscience and mental health at the Wellcome Trust, said the implications for people are not yet clear.
"This is one of a number of ways that one can approach restoration of bladder function in paralysed patients, but careful studies will be needed to optimise which of the technologies under investigation might be of most benefit to patients."
Funeral director, Geraint Peate, of Llanfair Caereinion, warned the increased rates could lead to more people needing a so-called paupers' funeral.
The cost of a standard adult burial will rise from about £1,054 to £1,740.
Powys said it had "no option" as it must find savings of £27m over the next three years.
Increases will apply to charges for services including plot excavation, burial rights and headstone erection at Powys's 19 cemeteries.
An additional £400 will be incurred for a Saturday burial.
Mr Peate said the increases could backfire, forcing the local authority to pay out more for public health funerals, which must be arranged at a council's expense when no other means for disposal of someone's remains can be found.
He said: "I do feel very cross about it and concerned at the extra costs for families. How on earth can you warrant such a large increase?"
Conservative AM for Montgomeryshire, Russell George, said he "fully appreciated" the financial pressures facing the council, which is run by an independent coalition.
He added: "I contend that the way in which fees are revised must accurately reflect the true cost of the bereavement service provided rather than an implementation of a 65% increase across the board."
John Powell, cabinet member for environmental protection, said: "There are significant costs associated with managing our 19 cemeteries, including grave digging and regular maintenance. The increases enable the council to fully recover the cost of the service.
"Taking the decision to increase fees is never easy but with the financial pressures that we are faced with, we have no other options but to increase these fees."
The Welsh Local Government Association said the "stark" economic reality for many councils was that unprotected or discretionary services were under "severe pressure".
It happened at about 00:30 GMT on the junction of Beaufort Street and Nottingham Road in Derby.
Linda Dietrichsen, who was evacuated from her family home with her six-year-old granddaughter, said she was "terrified" for their safety.
She said the car hit the chip shop before it spun into neighbouring buildings, leaving her home unstable.
Derbyshire Police said the driver was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
"I woke up, with my granddaughter calling me, she said there was a 'big noise'," Ms Dietrichsen said.
"I heard the commotion outside, I looked out of the bedroom window and saw dust clouds.
"I came down, I didn't even realise that the door and the window and the wall had come down... it was a big mess."
Firefighters helped Ms Dietrichsen and her family climb out over the debris to safety after the damage to their home.
The grandmother said: "I was shocked and terrified. I didn't know if the house was going to fall down any further.
"I have a six-year-old granddaughter I was concerned about, and we were told we have to stay upstairs because the building is unsafe."
She added that they have been forced to move out and find somewhere else to live while repairs are made.
"This is our little house, it has been for the last 12 years and to find no window, no door, no wall - is shocking," she said.
The presumptive presidential nominee tweeted that he would meet the National Rifle Association to discuss the issue.
The NRA responded by saying it would meet him but it already opposes terrorists buying guns.
Forty-nine people were killed in a gay nightclub by Omar Mateen, who had been put on a terror watch list by the FBI.
His wife is also being questioned in connection with the atrocity, the worst mass shooting in modern US history.
Up to now, Mr Trump has been a strong supporter of protecting gun rights and his candidacy was endorsed by the NRA, a powerful gun lobby, last month.
But on Wednesday, he tweeted: "I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns."
Mr Trump made a similar point in a television interview last November but had not mentioned it since the recent attacks.
The FBI has two terror "watch lists". The smaller one bans flying to and from the US and there is also a larger one, which Mateen was on.
Mateen was put on that list for 10 months while under investigation following inflammatory comments at work.
But the FBI concluded there was no evidence he was a terror threat.
The 29-year-old, a US national with Afghan parents, bought an assault rifle and a handgun in early June.
An NRA statement said its position had not changed.
"Anyone on a terror watchlist who tries to buy a gun should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing."
On Tuesday it seemed the traditional battle lines were forming on gun regulation following the Orlando attacks.
Republicans warned that "the terrorists win" when politicians like Hillary Clinton take away Second Amendment rights. Democrats in Congress were apoplectic as Republican leadership thwarted their legislative proposals.
The New York Times fretted that strong support for gun-ownership protections could be Donald Trump's key to electoral victory.
And then, with one tweet, the presumptive Republican nominee has turned the debate on its head.
Although Mr Trump boasts how the NRA gave him an early endorsement, many on the right are still suspicious of the man who once supported an assault weapons ban.
Now, on the heels of a rough couple of weeks for the New Yorker, conservatives are once again on the verge of panic. Mr Trump has "caved on defending the Second Amendment," tweeted long-time conservative Trump critic Erick Erickson.
Where the debate goes from here is anyone's guess. NRA officials are likely hyperventilating into paper bags. Congressional Republicans, who would have to pass supporting legislation, almost certainly won't budge.
Mr Trump may have just shown his unpredictable independent streak, but it's on one issue that has been non-negotiable for conservatives so far.
Investigators are still unclear about the motive for the attack and on Wednesday the FBI appealed for more information from the public.
Mateen pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State as he carried out the attack and people who knew him said he displayed an apparent hatred towards gay people.
The FBI is also investigating reports that Mateen made several visits to the Pulse nightclub and made contact with other men on gay dating apps.
His father said on Wednesday that he blames his son's actions on the influence of "horrible killer group" Islamic State. He also said the club should have had stronger security.
Supporters of tougher gun laws, like President Barack Obama, have said the attack in Orlando strengthens their cause.
Democrats in the Senate started pushing for gun control on Wednesday, mounting a filibuster - prolonged speaking on the floor to extend debate on legislation.
Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut, where 26 people died in a school shooting in 2013, wants to force Republicans and Democrats to agree on legislation to deny suspected terrorists from buying guns and requiring universal background checks.
The 50-year-old woman suffered serious injuries when her Smart car was involved in a collision with a van on the A801 at Avon Gorge, near Torphichen Bridge, at about 10:10 on Wednesday.
The van driver sustained minor injuries. The road was closed for about five hours while police investigated.
Police Scotland have appealed for information.
Despite an extensive international search in the southern Indian Ocean, no trace of the aircraft has been found. Officials confirmed that the recovery operation was ongoing but that the 239 people onboard are now presumed dead.
Since the end of June, investigators carrying out the search have been focusing on a refined area covering 60,000 sq km 1,800km (1,100 miles) off the west coast of Australia.
Based on analysis of satellite data, the plane is believed to have ended its journey in seas far west of the Australian city of Perth.
The search zone is some 1,000km south west of the area which was extensively searched with underwater surveying equipment in April.
Following a deep water survey gathering crucial data mapping the ocean floor that begun in August, four vessels are currently searching a remote stretch of ocean where the plane is believed to have ended its flight.
Using specialised sonar technology, the vessels can scan for the missing plane.
So far, an area of over 18,000 km sq (11,185 sq miles) of the seafloor - around 30 per cent of the priority area - has been searched.
The search area involved also has known depths of up to 6,000 m (19 685 ft).
According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the current phase of the underwater investigation could be largely completed by around May.
Watch the video below to find out about the jet's last known movements.
00:41, 8 March: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Saturday, 8 March (16:41 GMT, 7 March), and was due to arrive in Beijing at 06:30 (22:30 GMT).
Malaysia Airlines says the plane lost contact less than an hour after takeoff. No distress signal or message was sent.
01:07: The plane sent its last ACARS transmission - a service that allows computers aboard the plane to "talk" to computers on the ground. Some time afterwards, it was silenced and the expected 01:37 transmission was not sent.

01:19: The last communication between the plane and Malaysian air traffic control took place about 12 minutes later. At first, the airline said initial investigations revealed the co-pilot had said "All right, good night".
However, Malaysian authorities later confirmed the last words heard from the plane, spoken either by the pilot or co-pilot, were in fact "Good night Malaysian three seven zero".
A few minutes later, the plane's transponder, which communicates with ground radar, was shut down as the aircraft crossed from Malaysian air traffic control into Vietnamese airspace over the South China Sea.
01:21: The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said the plane failed to check in as scheduled with air traffic control in Ho Chi Minh City.
02:15: Malaysian military radar plotted Flight MH370 at a point south of Phuket island in the Strait of Malacca, west of its last known location. Thai military radar logs also confirmed that the plane turned west and then north over the Andaman sea.
In maps accompanying its 1 May report, the Malaysian government revised the time to be 02:22 and put the position further west.
02:28: (18:28 GMT, 8 March) After the loss of radar, a satellite above the Indian Ocean picked up data from the plane in the form of seven automatic "handshakes" between the aircraft and a ground station. The first was at 02:28 local time.
08:11: (00:11 GMT) The last full handshake was at 08:11. This information, disclosed a week after the plane's disappearance, suggested the jet was in one of two flight corridors, one stretching north between Thailand and Kazakhstan, the other south between Indonesia and the southern Indian Ocean.
08:19: (00:19 GMT) However, there is some evidence of a further "partial handshake" at this time between the plane and a ground station. This was a request from the aircraft to to log on. Investigators say this is consistent with the plane's satellite communication equipment powering up after an outage - such as after an interruption to its electrical supply.
09:15: (01:15 GMT) This would have been the next scheduled automatic contact between the ground station and the plane but there was no response from the aircraft.
The plane's planned route would have taken it north-eastwards, over Cambodia and Vietnam, and the initial search focused on the South China Sea, south of Vietnam's Ca Mau peninsula.
But evidence from a military radar, revealed later, suggested the plane had suddenly changed from its northerly course to head west. So the search, involving dozens of ships and planes, then switched to the sea west of Malaysia.
Further evidence revealed on Saturday 15 March by the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak suggested the jet was deliberately diverted by someone on board about an hour after takeoff.
After MH370's last communication with a satellite was disclosed, a week after the plane's disappearance, the search was expanded dramatically to nearly three million square miles, from Kazakhstan in the north to vast areas of the remote southern Indian Ocean.
Then, on 20 March, Australian search teams revealed they were investigating two objects spotted on satellite images in the southern Indian Ocean and sent long-range surveillance planes to the area, followed by further sightings. An Australian ship and further vessels travelled to the area.
At 1400 GMT on 24 March the Malaysian prime minister announced that following further analysis of satellite data it was beyond doubt that the plane had gone down in this part of the ocean.
This was based on Inmarsat and UK air accident investigators' analysis of the data relayed between the plane and ground station by satellite.
More potential debris was spotted by satellites but on 28 March the main search area was moved 1,100km (684 miles) to the north-east and closer to Australia, following further analysis of the speed of the plane and its maximum range.
Malaysian officials said that the debris could still be consistent with the new search area as ocean currents may have moved floating objects. However, no debris has yet been verified as being from the plane.
On 5-8 April, Australian and Chinese vessels using underwater listening equipment detected ultrasonic signals, which officials believed could be from the plane's "black box" flight recorders. The pings appeared to be the most promising lead so far, and were used to define the area of a sea-floor search, conducted by the Bluefin-21 submersible robot.
But Australian officials announced on 29 May that the search had found nothing and the area where the signals were heard could be ruled out as the final resting place of the plane. Efforts would now focus on reviewing data, surveying the sea floor and bringing in specialist equipment, the Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre (JACC) said.
Meanwhile, Malaysian authorities, assisted by international aviation and satellite experts, continue their attempts to piece together the plane's final hours and explain what happened to its 239 passengers and crew.
Australian officials believe the plane was flying on autopilot when it crashed.
On 26 June, officials announced a new 60,000 sq km search area some 1,800 km west of Perth. This phase of the operation started in August with detailed mapping of the sea bed.
Teams searching for wreckage of the plane have used specialist equipment to survey the ocean floor, enabling a metre-by-metre underwater search relying on towed instruments and submersibles.
In August, Australia's Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said that areas on the southern part of the refined search field in the Indian Ocean were "of particular interest and priority".
Fugro Survey, the Dutch company contracted by the Australian authorities to lead the deep sea investigation, said that the search could take up to twelve months.
The 12 crew members were all Malaysian, led by pilots Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah, 53 and 27-year-old co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.
Police have searched their homes and a flight simulator has been taken from the captain's home and reassembled for examination at police headquarters.
There were 227 passengers, including 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians, according to the manifest. Seven were children.
Other passengers came from Iran, the US, Canada, Indonesia, Australia, India, France, New Zealand, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan and the Netherlands.
Two Iranian men were found to be travelling on false passports. But further investigation revealed 19-year-old Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza, 29 were headed for Europe via Beijing, and had no apparent links to terrorist groups.
Among the Chinese nationals was a delegation of 19 prominent artists, who had attended an exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia Airlines said there were four passengers who checked in for the flight but did not show up at the airport.
The family members of those on board were informed in person, by phone and by text message on 24 March that the plane had been lost.
The declaration that the aircraft's disappearance was an accident should allow compensation payments to relatives of the victims.
The first, in the 36th minute, was a personal triumph for last season's leading marksman Madden who made an instant impact on his first league appearance of this campaign following a calf injury.
As Duane Holmes delivered a low cross into the box from the right, Madden popped up to fire a first-time right-footed shot past goalkeeper Ted Smith.
Scunthorpe quickly struck again in the 41st minute when, from a short corner on the right, Josh Morris guided a cross to the near post where Van Veen steered a shot into the far corner for his sixth goal of the season.
Southend boss Phil Brown reacted at half-time with a triple substitution, taking off defenders Harry Kyprianou and Jakub Sokolik and midfielder Adam King and replacing them with Ben Coker, Stephen McLaughlin and Jermaine McGlashan.
Briefly, it gave the visitors more impetus, but it was Scunthorpe who retained their attacking quality.
They made it 3-0 in the 57th minute when winger Morris, the League One player of the month for August, lashed a delightful 20-yard left-footed shot beyond the reach of Smith for his seventh goal of the season.
Madden had the ball in the net again only to be ruled offside and winger Holmes might twice have done better with chances from close range as Southend struggled to stem the flow of a confident Scunthorpe side.
Substitute Richie Smallwood, a deadline-day signing on loan from Rotherham, then sealed the victory with a cracking right-footed volley from inside the box on his debut.

The cable network said the departure was due to "the challenges of maintaining his family life in London and producing a show in the states".
Iannucci tweeted: "Time for me to quit airports. I'm leaving on a high and kissing goodbye to jet-lag."
David Mandel, who worked as a writer and director on Curb Your Enthusiasm, will take over the producer's role.
Iannucci told the Radio Times in 2013 he did not envisage staying on the US Thick Of It-inspired show long-term.
"I want Veep to carry on, but there will come a point when I want to move on to something else," he said.
"There's a natural limit: if [main character Selina Meyer is] Vice President, she can only be Vice President for so long, unless it's like the Simpsons and they just don't age.
"So I can see that carrying on, but everyone knows there'll come a point when I will want to stop being away from home four months in a year."
Veep has won a collection of awards since it first began in 2012.
Its star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, has won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy series for three consecutive years, with the show nominated for the best comedy series Emmy three times.
The Writers Guild of America named it best comedy series in 2014, while Iannucci himself has been nominated for four Emmys and a Producers Guild of America award.
Last month it was announced Iannucci would adapting a new version of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield for the big screen.
The film is still in the early stages of development, but BBC Films said it would be a "fresh take" on the novel.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) survey found almost one in seven adults (14%) in Wales had drunk 14 units or more in a single day - higher than England (8%) and Scotland (13%).
New UK government guidelines advised that people should not regularly drink more than 14 units a week.
Public Health Wales called the figures "a concern".
The 14-unit limit is equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.
The survey, Adult drinking habits in Great Britain: 2014, revealed mixed messages about Wales and alcohol.
It found Wales had one of the lowest levels of people who drank alcohol in the week before they were questioned by researchers - only 53% of people had consumed alcohol, second to London with 51%.
The highest percentages were in south east England and south west England, both at 62%.
The survey found that for Britain as a whole, 28.9 million people had drank alcohol in the week before they were interviewed.
By a small margin, the figures showed Wales was the nation with the lowest proportion of teetotallers - 20% compared to 21% in both England and Scotland.
London was the only area in Britain where more than a quarter did not drink at all, at 29%.
Across Britain, almost one in five higher earners - those with an annual income of £40,000 or more - drank at least five days a week
The survey also found young people were less likely to have consumed alcohol in the past week than those who were older, and wine was the most popular drink.
Ashley Gould, consultant in public health for Public Health Wales, said: "The number of people that report drinking during the previous week is falling, and it is good news that the biggest decline is in younger people.
"There is no safe limit, but if people choose to drink they can keep their risks low by drinking no more than 14 units a week."
But he added: "It is a concern that some people are drinking up to the weekly limit on a single day."
A Welsh government spokesman said the fact drinking among teenagers in Wales has declined since the late 1990s showed young people were "taking a prudent approach to their health".
"We encourage everyone to look at the recent guidance issued by the UK's chief medical officers and consider the merits of reducing their alcohol intake in order to reduce the risks to their own health," he added.
Cranes coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has kept faith with the striker, who has not scored for club or country for almost eight months.
Goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan and Muzamil Mutyaba did not make the cut.
But Timothy Dennis Awany and Muhammed Shaban were included for their hard work and fighting spirit.
Uganda will be making a return to the finals after 39 years and will be based in Port-Gentil alongside Ghana, Mali and Egypt.

The authorities suspect the gunmen are linked to Islamist separatist groups.
Around 100 armed men stormed the jail and engaged in a shoot-out with guards, as prisoners fled in the chaos. A guard and six escapees were killed.
The Philippines, which is predominantly Catholic, has battled separatists in the south for decades, amid kidnappings, violence and jailbreaks.
The latest prison break took place at the North Cotabato District Jail near Kidapawan city, on the island of Mindanao.
Prison authorities said the gunmen showed up around 01:00 local time (17:00 GMT Tuesday), opening fire on the facility, which held more than 1,500 men.
The shoot-out lasted for about two hours, and in the confusion some prisoners fled to the back of the prison and climbed over the walls by stacking their beds, reported GMA News.
Jail warden Peter Bonggat told AFP: "The [inmates] took chances because of the volume of fire. They used their bedding, piled them on top of each other to escape."
He added that he believed the attack was to free a number of Islamist rebels who were in the jail.
Philippine military and police have launched a hunt for the escaped inmates. At least six have been recaptured.
It was the third and biggest prison escape in the past decade at North Cotabato District Jail, according to the Philippine Star newspaper.
More than 40 inmates fled in 2007 when three bomb-makers were rescued by guerrillas, and four years later another group of bomb-makers also escaped.
The south of Philippines has a history of violent jailbreaks in general.
In August last year Muslim extremists supporting the Islamic State militant group freed eight detainees and 15 other inmates at a jail in Marawi, a city on Mindanao.
Islamist groups like the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Abu Sayyaf have conducted terror attacks as well as kidnapping tourists for ransom in southern Philippines for decades.
The MILF is in the midst of a long-running peace process with the Philippine government, but it has been hampered by the fact that the group has splintered into several factions and offshoot groups, some of which have refused to surrender.
None of the five Premier League sides who will be involved are near the same class as Real Madrid or Juventus. A lot of work needs to be done, and a lot of signings need to be made for any of them to have a chance of winning it.
It was Real's speed of thought and quality of passing that saw them run away with the game in Cardiff in the second half with a performance which set the standards that our clubs need to match.
The Spanish champions were too quick and too clever for Juve and their one- and two-touch football was a lesson to everyone about what you have to do to get success at the highest level.
I don't know what happened to Juve after the break, but they had been brilliant in the first half when they were full of energy and power, and their defence has been formidable all season.
Even before the final, I thought there was a lot of work to be done by our teams just to catch both sides up.
Watching the game highlighted the gap even more, but there are some reasons to be optimistic that the situation will change soon.
It is five years since an English club reached the Champions League final, when Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in 2012.
Only two of our sides have reached the semi-finals in that time - Chelsea in 2014 and Manchester City in 2016. Leicester were the only side to make the last eight this season.
It is imperative that record improves, and I think it can with Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool all in next season's competition.
Those teams have got some of the best - if not the best - coaches in the world, all of whom have now settled in at their clubs.
You also have to consider how much they are going to spend over the summer.
Look at City - they have already spent in the region of £80m on Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva and Benfica goalkeeper Ederson Moraes, and they have not even got started yet.
I think that tells you what you need to know about their intent, and I am sure the other Premier League teams will follow suit. They will certainly have the funds to do so.
I don't think many of the English teams in the Champions League will admit it, but they are all in it to win it.
You only have to look at who they are, who they are being managed by, and the success those managers have previously had to realise what their target will be.
To put it simply, being in the Champions League is not enough - they have got to do well in it too.
Antonio Conte does not have a great record in the competition, but that has to change because of where Chelsea demand to be.
We already know how driven Conte is, so he will target more personal success too.
It is the same with United, who like Chelsea missed out on the Champions League last year. Jose Mourinho has got them back in, but now they have to make a big impact. As a two-time winner with Porto and Inter Milan, he will accept nothing less.
City have qualified consistently over the past seven years but their owners' ambitions means they need to do more than that.
Pep Guardiola is another manager with a big reputation and winning record in this competition, and clearly they want some success in it themselves.
Tottenham performed poorly last season and did not get out of the group stage, and to improve they will need to get over the fact they are playing at Wembley, not White Hart Lane.
Their young players will have more experience of the competition, though, and I'm expecting an improved showing from them.
Liverpool will also have high hopes too, and will be desperate to get through their play-off round in August.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp got to the final in 2013 with Borussia Dortmund and he will think he can do the same with Liverpool now.
Realistically, though, all five English teams should be looking to get into the knockout stages at the very least, and they could go a lot further if they strengthen properly.
English clubs are having a pretty barren spell in the Champions League, especially compared to the time a few years ago when we were dominating it.
Real, with their exciting attack, and Juve, who are a team built from the back, show that contrasting styles can work.
I co-commentated on the final for 5 live, and the atmosphere in Cardiff when I walked around outside the stadium a few hours before kick-off was just magic.
If our teams want to be on the same stage at next year's final in Kiev then, like I say, they need to improve dramatically.
Our teams have to look at Real and Juve to realise how much progress they need to make the final, and it is quite some distance.

The chance of a replay adds even more jeopardy, but the Football Association and Premier League clubs are mulling over whether the oldest domestic football competition should be made into a midweek event - with no replays.
The top flight only contains 20 clubs, so what do some of those from the lower leagues of English football feel about those proposals?
One of the most famous FA Cup replays of recent times came after League Two side Cambridge drew 0-0 with Manchester United at home in the fourth round of last season's competition.
The U's lost the replay at Old Trafford, but from the two matches - both of which were televised - they made about £1.3m, which the club have spent on improving the off-field facilities, like the changing rooms.
"It wasn't just about the money," U's chairman Dave Doggett told BBC Look East.
"The money is important and we've used that wisely, but there's the excitement it generated in Cambridge and people who were not interested in football were in front of the television. That's what memories are made of."
Doggett has pointed to a long-term benefit for clubs and communities that go further than just two 90-minute games of football.
"Our attendances have gone up this year, more mums and dads with their children," he said. "Once people have experienced live football they want to come back."
And what does Doggett think of scrapping replays altogether?
"It would just spoil it," he argued. "How many matches are we talking about? Each round throws up a couple of replays, and really, can footballers not play two matches a week?
"There's only five rounds of it, and if they want to avoid replays then they should put their strongest team out and win it the first time, rather than compromise and moan about it."
Similar to Cambridge, Peterborough United took Premier League side West Brom to a fourth-round replay this year after an impressive 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns.
In an FA Cup year devoid of many shock results, Posh played host to the Baggies in front of a TV audience of 5.6m on BBC One - and only lost the match on penalties.
When asked about getting rid of FA Cup replays, Posh boss Graham Westley responded passionately.
"I hate this talk of messing with the greatest competition in the world," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. "It's a competition which helps small clubs to build training grounds, new stands, and it gives so much value to communities around the country.
"There's such a deep rooted benefit to the FA Cup that goes right the way through the national game.
"For the big boys to take away more from the small boys just fills me with horror. I'm not just saying that as a stubborn manager who's stuck in League One. If I was a Premier League manager I'd be saying exactly what I'd be saying here.
"You have to have respect for the whole of the national game, it's not the Premier League's game, it's the country's game."
One of the greatest nights in the history of Bournemouth - a club that have spent almost their entire existence in the lower leagues - was their 1984 FA Cup third-round win over Manchester United.
They may not have needed a replay for that, but Plymouth Argyle manager Derek Adams has asked the Premier League to think about what they would want if they were beneath the vast riches the top division has to offer.
"You can't forget about the teams in the lower divisions," Adams told BBC Radio Devon.
"Look at Bournemouth, where they've come from, and they would look at it and think 'what would we have liked when we were down in the lower divisions?'.
"The FA Cup is a tournament where it's a knockout, but we always enjoy the beauty of a Premier League team playing a lower-division team, a non-league team and getting a replay, and the replay can feel like a victory at times for some of these small clubs."
Since his election last month, they have struggled to understand who is advising Donald Trump on Asia and what his China policy will look like. This move will turn concern into alarm and anger.
Beijing sees Taiwan as a province. Denying it any of the trappings of an independent state is one of the key priorities of Chinese foreign policy.
For four decades American leaders have respected Beijing's red lines on closing down diplomatic space for Taiwan and acknowledging that there is only "One China".
The phone call between Mr Trump and Ms Tsai is the first known contact between a US president or president-elect and a Taiwanese leader since the United States broke diplomatic relations with the island in 1979.
Taiwan does not have a formal mutual defence treaty with the US, and American commitments on the defence of the island are deliberately shrouded in ambiguity. But as China's military might grows, the island of Taiwan relies ultimately on the American security umbrella in East Asia for protection from invasion.
This is already a sensitive time in the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan.
Under President Xi Jinping, China has been putting growing economic and diplomatic pressure on Taiwan to move towards reunification.
But despite Beijing's efforts, the party it favours lost elections across the board over the past year. Opinion polls suggest that younger Taiwanese may be becoming more, not less, resistant to reunification with the mainland.
Both before and after her election to the presidency in January, Ms Tsai promised to maintain the status quo in the cross-straits relationship, but Beijing does not trust her and has broken off official contacts with her administration.
In this context, any shift in the relationship between Taiwan and the US is significant.
In a statement released after the phone call, the president-elect's office said the two leaders noted that "close economic, political, and security ties" exist between Taiwan and the United States. It also said Mr Trump "congratulated President Tsai on becoming president of Taiwan".
This content may seem uncontroversial on the face of it, but the very fact of the call and of an American president-elect congratulating a Taiwanese president will be quite enough to infuriate Beijing.
A spokesman for the US National Security Council said afterwards that government policy had not changed but Mr Trump's team did not inform the White House before the call.
When Donald Trump was asked during his campaign to name the person he consulted most often on foreign policy, he said: "I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things."
Mr Trump has said a lot of things… about "winning" against China on trade, about whether US allies like Japan and South Korea should pay more for their own defence, about quitting the regional TPP trade deal that was a centrepiece of his predecessor's policy in Asia.
Like many other governments, Beijing is puzzling over which of these things to take seriously. But there are few things more serious for China than the status of Taiwan.
When it has worked out how to understand the significance of the phone call between Mr Trump and Ms Tsai, expect Beijing to "say a lot of things" in return.
Henry, 24, will fill in as the county's main overseas player from early April until the end of June.
South African Kyle Abbott will then take over in early July for the second half of the season.
"Worcestershire have had strong links with New Zealand cricket going back to when Glenn Turner played for them for many seasons," said Henry.
"And, more recently, with Colin Munro and Mitchell McClenaghan too.
"I hope I can play my part in getting them off to a good start in trying to regain that Division One spot - as well as having another successful run in the T20 Blast."
Henry was on last year's New Zealand tour to England, taking 4-93 and 2-106 on his Test debut at Lord's in May, and two further wickets in the second Test at Headingley.
He claimed took two more wickets in his third and most recent Test appearance in November against Australia at Perth.
Christchurch-born Henry made his first appearance at Worcester last May, when he took 2-71 and 3-58 for the New Zealand tourists in their 15-run win over the hosts.
He has also played in 20 one-day internationals, helping the Kiwis to reach the 2015 World Cup final, before going on to take 13 wickets in the recent 3-1 series victory over Sri Lanka.
Campaign group Action on Hearing Loss said the poll of 1,000 adults also showed a third would ignore the "safe level" on their music players.
The group warns that people doing either increase the risk of tinnitus.
DJ Paul Oakenfold urged people to wear ear defenders to gigs and to "turn down the volume".
Half of those surveyed said they listened to music for between one and six hours a day - up to a third of their waking day - perhaps in the background at work or on their MP3 player on their way to and from work or studies.
But one in five would not do anything differently to take any care of their hearing.
Action on Hearing Loss warned that one in 10 people across the UK is affected by tinnitus every day, ranging from a "light buzzing" to a "constant roar" in the ears and head.
It can affect everything from the ability to concentrate at work to getting to sleep at night.
The poll also found that one in 10 people does not know what tinnitus is, with 3% thinking it was "big ears" and 4% a "repetitive strain injury".
It has created an audio version of what tinnitus sounds like in order to raise awareness.
Paul Breckell, chief executive of Action on Hearing Loss, said: "Listening to loud music for a long time can trigger tinnitus and is an indication of damaged hearing.
"Most people have experienced tinnitus, but those who are severely affected can experience fear, anxiety and feelings of helplessness that affect their quality of life.
"Currently there is no cure for tinnitus. As a charity we are doing all we can to fund research into treatments, and in the meantime offer support to people who suffer."
Paul Oakenfold, the DJ and record producer, is supporting the campaign.
He said: "I feel passionately about listening to music safely, and urge music lovers to wear ear defenders to gigs and avoid dangerously high volumes on personal music players.
"Getting decent noise-cancelling headphones also cuts down the risk of damaging your ears and suffering tinnitus caused by overexposure to loud music. No-one wants that."
Enda Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was in his first term at Queen's University when he was struck by a van on Belfast's Malone Road in October 2014.
David Stewart, 31, of Gray's Park Avenue, admitted a series of charges linked to the teenager's death.
He was sentenced to seven years - three-and-a-half years in prison and the same on licence - last April.
During his trial, the court heard that Stewart, who had consumed drink and drugs before driving his van, drove with the teenager on the roof of his van for about 800 yards before he stopped.
The court was told that the 13 drinks Stewart consumed included six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs - a mix of a spirit and an energy drink.
Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system.
On Monday, following an appeal, the Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan increased the time Stewart would spend in prison by one year.
Making the ruling, he said: "Nothing this court can do can turn the clock back.
"What happened was senseless needless and entirely avoidable."

In 1997 a goods container filled with millions of Lego pieces fell off a ship and into the sea.
Since then hundreds of pieces have washed up on the beaches of Cornwall.
By chance many of the lost toys were ocean themed, so locals started finding miniature life jackets and octopuses on the beach - as well as dragons and daisies.
Ayshah visited the beach to talk to some keen Lego hunters.
The Tanzanian government planned a two-lane highway across the park to connect Lake Victoria with coastal ports.
But studies showed it could seriously affect animals such as wildebeest and zebra, whose migration is regarded as among the wonders of the natural world.
The government confirmed the road across the park will remain gravel.
In a letter sent to the World Heritage Centre in Paris, the Department of Natural Resources and Tourism says the 50km (30-mile) section of road across the park will "continue to be managed mainly for tourism and administrative purposes, as it is now".
The government is considering an alternative route for a major trade highway that would run to the south of the park.
This would avoid areas of high conservation value, and - although a longer route - would bring the opportunities afforded by a modern transport link to more people.
Last year, a group of scientists warned that the proposed road across the park could bring the number of wildebeest in the park, estimated at about 1.3 million, down to 300,000.
Collisions between animals and traffic would be unavoidable, they said.
And with a corridor on either side of the road taken out of the hands of the park authorities and given to the highways agency, fencing would almost certainly result, blocking movement of the herds.
If wildlife were damaged, they warned, that could also affect the local economy, in which tourism plays a major role.
The researchers described the Serengeti as "a rare and iconic example of an ecosystem driven by a large mammal migration".
That annual north-to-south trek involves about 1.5 million animals, including wildebeest and zebra.
As the animals travel, they dump vast quantities of urine and dung across the land, fertilising plant growth, while the trampling of hooves also prevents bush from over-growing the grassland.
An impact assessment compiled for the government confirmed the expected impact on migration, adding that the decline of wildebeest and zebra would have a knock-on effect on predators such as lions and cheetahs.
These are among the animals that tourists come to see.
Scientists also warned that the road could bring invasive plant species or unfamiliar diseases into the park, a World Heritage Site.
Last year, the World Heritage Committee expressed its "utmost concern" about the "potentially irreversible damage" that the highway could bring.
Environmental campaigners have welcomed the government's decision, with the organisation Serengeti Watch saying: "A battle has been won".
However, they warned that the region faces a number of other threats, including roads around the park and poaching.
The Pakistan bowler, playing his first game in England since 2010, took the wickets of Marcus Trescothick, Adam Hose and Peter Trego.
Somerset slumped to 128 all out in reply to Pakistan's 359-8 declared.
Pakistan made a slower start to their second innings with Jack Leach taking two for 41 as they closed on 140-4.
The tourists declared in the morning session after Younus Khan had collected his 53rd first-class century before being caught by Tim Rouse off the bowling of Josh Davey for 104.
Amir, 24, served a prison sentence as well as his five-year ban from cricket for bowling deliberate no-balls at Lord's on Pakistan's last tour.
He was cleared to play domestic cricket in Pakistan in January last year and made his international return in a Twenty20 win over New Zealand in January 2016.
The left-arm paceman was given the new ball on Monday and took the wicket of former England opener Trescothick for eight.
The tourists took regular wickets at Taunton with Amir (3-36) and Sohail Khan (3-26) doing most damage as only James Hildreth (47 not out) even came close to a half-century.
Amir could make his Test return at Lord's in the first of Pakistan's four-match series against England on 14 July.
Sevilla finished seventh in Spain's La Liga, 39 points behind champions Barcelona, yet cannot stop winning in the Europa League and are looking to win the trophy for a fifth time since Liverpool's Champions League win in 2005 - and the third time in a row.
But who is their main threat? Why are they so good in this competition? Who is the mastermind behind their Europa League success?
Here, we take a look at what awaits Jurgen Klopp's Reds at St Jakob-Park.
BBC Radio 5 live In Short: Sevilla are favourites - Phil Neville
Sevilla earned a place in this season's Champions League group stage with a successful defence of their 2014 Europa League triumph - one that ended with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Ukrainian side Dnipro in Warsaw, Poland 12 months ago.
A 3-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach suggested Los Sevillistas could make an impression and advance to the knockout stages of Europe's elite competition.
It wasn't to be, however, as four straight defeats saw them eliminated from Group D, which also contained Manchester City and Juventus, although the third-placed finish did send them back in their favourite tournament.
Sevilla have owned the Europa League in recent years, with their back-to-back triumphs in the past two seasons following in the footsteps of consecutive wins in 2006 and 2007.
"Everyone connected with Sevilla thoroughly enjoys taking part in this competition, and I've always encouraged everyone to approach it with the passion it deserves," said boss Unai Emery.
Since their first European triumph in 2006, Sevilla have also won the domestic Copa del Rey twice, and will have another chance to lift that trophy when they face Barcelona in the final at Atletico Madrid's Vicente Calderon on 22 May.
That's no accident because Sevilla have fielded some fabulous players in the past decade, including Barcelona pair Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic, as well as prolific strikers in their prime such as Luis Fabiano, Frederic Kanoute, Alvaro Negredo and Carlos Bacca.
The club's sporting director Monchi has been showered with praise for his ability to repeatedly build high-quality squads packed with ambitious players who are on an upward curve - and the silverware has been fully deserved.
Last season it was Carlos Bacca who was Sevilla's main goal threat. The 29-year-old Colombia international's departure to AC Milan has seen Kevin Gameiro step up to become the forward the opposition fear most.
Half of Sevilla's 14 Europa League goals this season have come from the former Paris St-Germain player, who has proved influential since moving to Spain three years ago.
The 29-year-old France international marked his first season in La Liga with 15 goals and has followed it up with another 24 since.
Gameiro's goalscoring form is excellent, but his biggest asset to the team is his insatiable work rate - and it makes him the kind of player who is a real pain for defenders.
Though he is not particularly physically imposing, Gameiro is fast, strong, has great balance, shows intelligent movement and never stops running. He also has the happy goalscorer's instinct of finding space inside a congested penalty area.
Considering the form he has showed this season and the controversial omission of Karim Benzema, it is somewhat surprising that Gameiro has not been selected in the France squad for their home European Championship this summer.
But it could still be a busy summer for Gameiro because he has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, who are looking for an experienced striker to offer cover and competition for Luis Suarez.
"He has a fantastic turn of pace to get away from players and he's very good at getting shots away quickly - a really sharp finisher," said Emery.
"He puts the first line of pressure on the opposition, with his speed and ability in transitions. That's very positive for the team."
Emery does not always get the credit he deserves. He really should be regarded as an elite manager considering the success he has enjoyed throughout his career.
After starting out by leading lowly Lorca and Almeria to promotion, he guided cash-strapped Valencia to three consecutive third-place finishes in La Liga - and the scale of that achievement is underlined by how much they have struggled since he departed in 2012.
The 44-year-old Spaniard then had a brief and unsuccessful stint with Spartak Moscow before returning to Spain with Sevilla, where he has kept the team in the top half of the league as well as masterminding their cup successes.
He was strongly tipped to move to AC Milan last summer before eventually rejecting the Italian giants - but his work with the Andalusians will surely earn him more big-name suitors before long.
While he was at Valencia, Emery worked with Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata before the player moved to Chelsea in August 2011, as well as David Silva, now at Manchester City.
West Ham reportedly wanted Emery before Slaven Bilic was appointed, while Everton have also been linked with the former midfielder since Roberto Martinez was sacked.
Emery is an expert video editor as well as a football obsessive and does not employ a video analyst. Instead he edits footage of his side's opponents himself.
Sevilla have endured a fairly disappointing season in La Liga to finish seventh, but that's mainly because they have suffered a series of disappointing results against lower-ranked opposition.
In the big games they have been excellent, beating Barcelona,Real Madrid and fourth-placed Villarreal at home - and they also defeated Juventus in the Champions League group stage on their own turf.
Their route to the final has included impressive wins over La Liga rivals Athletic Bilbao and Shakhtar Donetsk.
However, Liverpool will be encouraged by Sevilla's poor form away from their Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan home.
They were the only team in La Liga not to win on their travels in 2015-16, while their away success in the Europa League was a 2-1 victory in Bilbao.
Emery and his highly regarded sporting director Monchi have built an extremely strong squad with plenty of depth, and that is particularly the case in midfield where a wide range of options are available to support Gameiro.
Perhaps the most important player is the talented Argentina international Ever Banega, who is enjoying a real renaissance after being rescued from a frustrating spell at Valencia when he joined Sevilla two years ago.
With Banega pulling the strings, attacking penetration is offered by former Arsenal man Jose Antonio Reyes, Spain international Vitolo, the versatile Vicente Iborra and gifted Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Although he often only appears from the bench, the ace in the pack could prove to be Konoplyanka, who is Sevilla's most naturally talented player. His ability to cut in from the left wing to shoot, or deliver dangerous balls into the box from either flank, makes him a real potential match winner.
There is another familiar name in the shape of Steven Nzonzi, the former Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City midfielder.
The 27-year-old Frenchman has been a regular starter during Sevilla's Europa League campaign - despite being sent off three times this season.
The RSPCA said the pooch, nicknamed Pudding, was so matted when he was found in Plymouth, Devon, his breed was unrecognisable.
After cleaning him up, the animal charity now believes Pudding is a shih tzu cross.
Inspector Sarah Morris said seeing a dog neglected and dumped on Christmas Eve had made her angry.
Pudding was discovered by a member of the public on their way to work, who then alerted the RSPCA.
Ms Morris said: "I took him straight to a vet who gave him a body score of three-and-a-half out of 10, so he was very thin.
"It brought a tear to my eye when I was taking him to the animal centre. He must have been terrified, hungry and so uncomfortable, just left out in the dark, wind and rain."
Pudding, who is thought to be about six or seven years old, was unable to see out of his right eye, his nails were overgrown and he was also covered in fleas, the RSPCA said.
He has been taken to the RSPCA's Little Valley Animal Centre, near Exeter.
It includes a target that 95% of people should be given a cancer diagnosis or the all-clear within 28 days of being referred by a GP, by 2020. Implementing it will cost £300m a year until then.
Faster diagnosis could save up to 11,000 lives a year, according to an Independent Cancer Taskforce report.
The health secretary said the measure was a "simple promise".
Jeremy Hunt said the UK lagged behind other western European countries in cancer survival rates and the new measures would help "close the gap".
"We know that the biggest single factor that means that our cancer survival rates lag those of France, Germany and other European countries is the fact that we have too much late diagnosis; we don't get an answer to people quickly enough," he said.
"And what we're saying here is a very simple promise to all NHS patients by 2020 that if your GP has a concern that you may have cancer, we will get you an answer - either a cancer diagnosis or an all-clear within 28 days - that will be one of the fastest diagnosis rates anywhere in the world."
Speeding up diagnosis would require more cancer consultants, specialist nurses, staff trained in endoscopies and diagnostic tests, he added.
Currently 280,000 people in England are diagnosed with cancer each year - with half surviving for at least 10 years.
Patients are meant to see a specialist within two weeks of a GP referral under existing targets but may then face a long wait for test results, meaning a growing number of patients do not get their treatment started within the recommended 62 days.
Cancer patients will also get online access to their test results if they choose, under the new measures.
Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK and chairman of the Independent Cancer Taskforce, said services for diagnosing cancer were under immense pressure, which is why increased investment and extra staff were so important.
"Introducing the 28-day ambition for patients to receive a diagnosis will maximise the impact of this investment which, together with making results available online, will spare people unnecessary added anxiety and help cancer patients to begin treatment sooner," he said.
The announcement comes after a cross-party group of MPs warned that cancer services had "lost momentum" in the past two years.
The health service has been struggling to meet waiting times and seen resources reduced, the Public Accounts Committee warned.
Juliet Bouverie of Macmillan Cancer Support, said: "We desperately need to see continued action from the government and the NHS to ensure that all the recommendations laid out in the recently published Cancer Strategy for England are fully funded and implemented."
Mr Mckeague, 23, has not been seen since a night out in Bury St Edmunds last September, when CCTV showed him entering a bin loading bay.
Police have so far spent nine weeks searching a Cambridge landfill site for any sign of the RAF Honington gunner.
Earlier, it was revealed the search had so far cost more than £1m.
The investigation into Mr Mckeague's disappearance is one of the most expensive undertaken by Suffolk Police, the Cambridge News reported.
On Friday afternoon Suffolk Police said officers searching the landfill had been through all the rubbish from the location and time he disappeared.
"However, towards the edges of the area it has also been noticed that the waste may have naturally shifted from the original deposition area," the force said.
"Police are expanding the search parameters to take this into account."
More news from Suffolk and Cambridgeshire
The airman, from Dunfermline in Fife, vanished after going out with friends from RAF Honington, where he is based.
He was last seen entering a bin loading bay known as the "horseshoe" at about 03:25 BST.
A waste disposal lorry collected a bin from that area less than an hour after Mr Mckeague was spotted on CCTV.
Nine weeks ago specialist officers began sifting through waste at the landfill site in Milton, Cambridgeshire, where they believe his body may be.
So far, Suffolk Police said it had sifted through more than 3,000 tonnes of waste at the 120-acre (48.5 hectare) site.
While officers have yet to find any trace of him, late last month officers said they had started to find rubbish at the site "from the right time period" from when he went missing.
A force spokeswoman confirmed that search costs "above and beyond staffing" were currently running at about £544,250 and taking into account salaries and "specialist resources", the investigation costs exceeded the £1m mark to date.
Police initially estimated the search of the vast landfill site could take 10 weeks.
The spokeswoman was unable to say at this stage whether it could take longer. | The University of Sydney has suspended a professor and government education adviser for sending racist emails.

Essex Police said it had to find £63m savings to its annual budget of £262m.
PCSO numbers would be reduced from 250 to 60, while the number of stations where the public can walk in would drop from 25 to 10.
The PCSO union Unison has criticised the plans, but the chief constable called it "absolutely essential"
The force currently employs about 3,000 officers, 375 specials, 250 police community support officers and 1,850 other staff.
Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh said the changes were "absolutely essential" to achieve the savings target by 2019-20.
"Many of the changes we announce today would need to be made even if money wasn't a problem," he said.
"We need to get smarter, more efficient and put our limited resources where they can help people in need, not into outdated buildings or outmoded styles of policing."
The station closures were part of a plan to get rid of 50 out of 80 police buildings, which the force said would remove £30m from maintenance costs.
As a result, civilian customer contact posts would be cut from 98 to 36.
The current headquarters at Springfield, Chelmsford would be sold and a new one built elsewhere.
John Watts, Unison branch secretary for Essex Police, said: "Police stations have been a focus for the community and to lose them is very sad.
"PCSOs have integrated into the community and run a number of projects and these will be lost.
"What we're against is removing the police stations and police presence from everybody's towns."
Nick Alston, Conservative police and crime commissioner for Essex, said: "In the face of hard choices, the chief constable and I are determined that Essex Police will continue to do all it can to keep our county safe both now and for the future."
The force said a 45-day consultation period was under way, but that the plan was to introduce the changes in April 2016.
An Essex PCSO, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "Stuff that people want us to look into - nuisance neighbours, anti-social behaviour - neighbourhood policing and the local stuff will all go out of the window.
"Some of my colleagues were in tears yesterday. It's been my career. It's something I've loved doing.
"There will be a lot of intelligence lost. Younger people talk to us because they don't associate us with police officers as such."
He said that after the consultation, PCSOs would face a closed selection process and they would find out if they have kept their jobs on 19 December.
He added: "After many years, it's a bit of a slap in the face.
"You get a 15 minute meeting to say you're losing your job."
Christian Nade's early strike gave the Sons a 1-0 lead at the interval.
But goals from Ryan Hardie, Aidan Connolly and James Craigen in the second half secured Rovers a seventh win in their last nine unbeaten games.
Steven Saunders' last-minute goal came too late for Dumbarton, who remain five points clear of Livingston.
Raina Thaiday was experiencing a psychotic episode when she turned on her four sons, three daughters and a niece in Cairns in December 2014.
The legal decision - made last month but only now made public - means she cannot be held criminally responsible.
Thaiday, 40, is being held at a high-security centre in Brisbane.
It is unclear if she will ever be released back into the community.
The house where the children, aged between two and 14, were killed has been demolished. It has been replaced with a park to remember Malili, Angelina, Shantae, Rayden, Azariah, Daniel, Rodney and Patrenella.
Thaiday, also known as Mersane Warria, had been charged with the children's murders but Queensland's Mental Health Court ruled she should not stand trial.
Experts said before the killings she had never been treated for mental illness.
Several psychiatrists testified that it was likely that Thaiday's mental state had deteriorated in the months beforehand.
Thaiday believed she was the "Chosen One" and became obsessed with cleansing to protect herself and her family from demons.
A "dove call" - either real or imagined - sent her over the edge.
Forensic psychiatrist Dr Jane Phillips told the court: "She heard the sound of a bird and believed from hearing that sound it was a message she must kill the children to save them."
Psychiatrist Dr Frank Varghese said Thaiday was suffering from an "apocalyptic delusional state".
"This is quite a unique case and a horrendous case, the likes of which I've never seen before," he said.
"This is schizophrenia at its very depth and its worst."
The bodies were discovered by Thaiday's adult son, Lewis Warria. He found his mother in front of the house with 35 self-inflicted stab wounds.
Justice Jean Dalton said there was a convincing body of evidence that Thaiday could not control or understand her actions.
"Ms Thaiday had a mental illness that deprived her of capacity at the time of the killing," Justice Dalton said.
"That is, that she is entitled to the defence of unsoundness of mind - there is just no doubt about that on the evidence, and there is no doubt about the legal conclusion that flows from that."
The Dutch-based team won the 40km race in 48 minutes 41.62 seconds, 48.24secs ahead of a Canyon-Sram squad which contained Briton Hannah Barnes.
Fellow Briton Ciara Horne claimed bronze with Cervelo Bigla.
In the men's race Etixx-Quick Step denied BMC a third consecutive win.
The winning team included Germany's Tony Martin and Marcel Kittel in its ranks and won by 11.69 seconds. Team Sky, featuring Geraint Thomas and Ben Swift, finished fourth, 54 seconds down on the winners.
A number of riders were affected by the 40C heat and cross winds with Rabo-Liv's Anouska Koster crashing into the barriers.
Afterwards team-mate Roxanne Knetmann said: "I cannot explain how excruciating it feels to be riding 40km through the desert. It's horrible. It's like riding in a sauna."
From Monday, competitors will switch from their pro teams to their national teams.
Deignan will be defending her road world title on Saturday, while Mark Cavendish is among the favourites to win a second world title on 16 October.
Meanwhile, the doctor at the centre of a UK Anti-Doping investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in cycling, Richard Freeman, will not now be with the Great Britain team at the Championships this week.
In a statement, British Cycling said: "This was a decision jointly reached by the team management and Richard. The riders in Doha will instead be supported by UCI medical team at the worlds, alongside the usual Great Britain cycling team support staff.
Programmes director Andy Harrison said: "This was a decision taken with the best interests of Richard and the riders at heart. We have every confidence that the team will get all the support they need."
Freeman, who was part of Team GB's support staff at the Rio Olympics, has declined to comment.

The England international, 23, left Swansea to join Newcastle for £12m.
"I won't go into it but I felt a little bit hard done by to be fair down there," Shelvey said.
However, Swansea interim manager Alan Curtis responded: "I don't see any criticism that he can direct towards the club."
Shelvey added that things had been fine for most of his two-and-half season stay at the Liberty Stadium.
"I loved the Swansea fans, they were brilliant with me, right through all the time I was there," he said.
"It was just towards the end that there were things being written about me, a lot of rumours, when no one actually knew the full extent of what was going on behind the scenes."
Shelvey's performances this season frustrated many Swansea fans and he clashed with a section of supporters at the end of his final game for the club, the 3-2 FA Cup defeat at Oxford United.
He had started just three Premier League games since October before moving to Newcastle on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
"I didn't ask to leave Swansea or anything, I've never come out and said that I wanted to leave Swansea," Shelvey added.
"I think the manager said to me I wasn't going to play much and I didn't suit Swansea's style of play.
"I thought I was hung out to dry for a little bit when I was training well, I was competing well in the week and was finding myself really unlucky not to play.
Shelvey signed a four-year contract extension with Swansea in 2015 but was the first player to leave since Alan Curtis took charge.
The former Charlton player arrived at the Liberty Stadium in July 2013 from Liverpool and helped the Swans to their highest Premier League finish of eighth in the 2014-15 season.
Curtis said Shelvey was not "hounded out" of club and should not direct any criticism at Swansea.
"We've had a disappointing season, and I think Jonjo hand-on-heart will say he's has a disappointing season as well," said Curtis.
"I think it's been a good deal probably for both parties - he gets a fresh start and hopefully we can use the money to attract other players into the club."
Lt-Col Christopher Davies, 45, was arrested following an alleged incident on 10 April this year, police in Ontario have said.
The officer, who was in Canada on a temporary posting, has been bailed to appear in court on 15 September.
An army spokesman said it was aware of an investigation involving a serving British army officer.
The alleged assault occurred at Fort Frontenac, in Kingston, following commemorations for the World War One Battle of Vimy Ridge, on 9 April, police said.
The alleged victim - a 52-year-old female officer - had attended a military function at the fort.
She then allegedly went to a bar with other guests, including Lt-Col Davies. Police say she reported having being sexually assaulted in her hotel room in the early hours of the following day.
Lt-Col Davies was arrested and charged earlier this week.
He has since been released but was ordered to surrender his passport and has been barred from leaving Ontario ahead of a court appearance.
"We are aware of an investigation being conducted by Kingston Police into an alleged incident that took place in April this year involving a serving British army officer," a British army spokesman said.
"As the case is sub judice it would be inappropriate to make any comment."
The warning came after thousands of demonstrators occupied the centre of Homs on Monday, vowing to stay until the president was ousted.
Witnesses say security forces fired on the protesters in Homs and there are reports the square was cleared.
Rights activists say about 200 Syrians have been killed in weeks of unrest.
By Jonathan MarcusBBC Diplomatic Correspondent
Syria matters in ways that make Libya appear peripheral in the region. It is a key element in an alliance that brings together Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and other more radical Palestinian groups opposed to peace with Israel.
If Syria descends into chaos, that alliance could also be weakened. But the most serious impact might be felt in next-door Lebanon: another country made up of a patchwork of different communities which has not enjoyed Syria's long-term stability.
One way or another, a strong Syria represents a stabilising element in Lebanon. Chaos in one could lead to chaos in the other. Israel, too, is watching events in its northern neighbour with concern. Syria has long been a predictable enemy. Even a shaken Syrian regime could pose a different kind of problem.
Syria crisis could change face of the Middle East
President Bashar al-Assad announced on Saturday he would end nearly half a century of emergency rule next week, while the authorities have also been releasing political prisoners, both key demands of protesters.
But Syria's unprecedented wave of unrest shows no sign of abating, says the BBC's Kim Ghattas in Beirut, in neighbouring Lebanon.
In a statement late on Monday, the interior ministry said: "The course of the previous events... have revealed they are an armed insurrection by armed groups belonging to Salafist organisations, especially in Homs and Baniyas."
It warned "their terrorist activities will not be tolerated".
Salafism is a strict form of Sunni Islam which many Arab governments equate with militant groups like al-Qaeda.
Our correspondent says this means the authorities will crack down on dissent under the pretext of fighting terrorists.
At least 5,000 demonstrators occupied Clock Square in Homs on Monday after mass funerals for about 12 protesters slain by security forces at the weekend.
Checkpoints were set up around the square to ensure people coming in were unarmed civilians, and protesters stocked up on supplies.
One protester said it had been renamed Tahrir Square, after the one in Cairo which was the focal point of the uprising that toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Witnesses said that security forces told them through loud-hailers to leave, before firing tear gas, then live ammunition.
One protester, Omar, told BBC Arabic on Tuesday that he had seen one person shot dead.
"Listen to the shooting," he said, "Can you hear it? It's hammering on us like rain.
"Security forces... listen to the shooting, where is it coming from? It can't be coming from thugs, it's so heavy."
An activist in the capital Damascus told AFP news agency by telephone: "The sit-in was dispersed with force. There was heavy gunfire."
The official Sana news agency has also been reporting on events in Homs.
It said three army officers, including a brigadier-general, together with his two sons and a nephew, were killed on Sunday by "armed criminal gangs", which then mutilated the bodies.
The northern town of Baniyas also saw anti-government protests on Sunday.
Demonstrations against the authoritarian rule of Mr Assad's Baath Party spread after breaking out in the southern city of Deraa in mid-March.
The unrest poses the gravest threat to his rule since he succeeded his father Hafez al-Assad 11 years ago.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Royston Road, Glasgow, at about 13:15. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is believed the car involved belonged to the woman who died.
A police spokeswoman said a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal and inquiries were continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the woman's death.
The man driving the car had been flagged down by two men in Banbridge at about midnight who asked him to take them to the town centre.
The driver agreed but when the men got into his vehicle they threatened him and demanded he take them to Hilltown.
The pair then tried to steal the car in Rathfriland Road, Hilltown, but both fled when passers-by intervened.
A police spokesman said the driver was not physically injured but was left "badly shaken".
Steve Way took up running aged 33 and ditched smoking, drinking and kebabs to come 10th in the Games marathon.
The Bournemouth resident is running the 26.2 mile (42km) race on Sunday as part of the Bournemouth Marathon Festival.
Races are on Saturday and Sunday, including a 5km, 10km, junior races and a half and full marathon.
Mr Way, 41, said: "I have long wanted to race a marathon in my hometown and the schedule works well this year to make it a reality.
"I took part in the half marathon last year and then set the marathon runners on their way as the official starter last year, which was a real honour.
"The atmosphere around town has been brilliant for the first two years of the Bournemouth Marathon Festival. I'm looking forward to enjoying the full 26.2 miles of it."
Ben Smith, from Bristol, is also taking part in the event as he is currently attempting to run 401 marathons in 401 days.
Bournemouth is the only marathon he is set to run twice.
Steve Edwards, 53, from Morton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds, is due to run his 700th marathon on Sunday.
It is hoped he will set a new world record for running 700 marathons in the fastest average time at three hours and 18 minutes.
He has run every Bournemouth marathon since it started three years ago.
The incident happened during the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska.
Race marshals said a man on a snowmobile first attacked one sled and later hit the sled that was following behind.
A man has now been arrested, but police say the motive remains unclear.
Arnold Demoski, 26, faces charges of assault, reckless endangerment, reckless driving and criminal mischief, Alaska State Troopers say.
Mr Demoski had earlier told the Alaska Dispatch News that the incident was not intentional, but that he had blacked out after drinking.
Race officials said veteran competitor Aliy Zirkle first reported being attacked near the village of Nulato on the Yukon River during a leg of the 1,000-mile (1,609km) race to Nome.
Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters told AP news agency that the snowmobile had hit the side of Ms Zirkle's sled and the driver threatened her several more times before driving off.
One of her dogs was injured. She reported the incident after arriving in Nulato in the early hours of Saturday.
Some time later, competitor Jeff King, who had been following Ms Zirkle, reported being hit by the snowmobile in the same area. One of his dogs was killed and at least three others were injured.
"Regrettably, this incident very much alters the race of the two mushers competing for a win. However, both are going to continue on their way toward Nome," the Iditarod Trail Committee said.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual event that takes place through some of Alaska's most remote areas between Anchorage and Nome. Competitors and their teams often encounter blizzards, gale-force winds and freezing temperatures.
John McDonnell said his proposals would make the freeze "irrelevant", but did not say whether he would scrap it.
Later though, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News the freeze was "unfair" and "would be ended".
The party's manifesto includes pledges costing £48.6bn, to be funded from extra tax revenue.
Labour says all its pledges are costed, with fundraising measures including a rise in income tax for higher earners, a corporation tax rise, a crackdown on tax avoidance and an "excessive pay levy" on salaries above £330,000.
But the Conservatives have said Labour would have to raise taxes dramatically for working families in order to fund their spending commitments.
According to their manifesto, the Conservatives have "no plans for further radical welfare reform" and would continue the roll-out of Universal Credit - a single monthly payment to replace many other benefits.
The Liberal Democrats have said they would end the benefits freeze and reverse welfare cuts.
The freeze on working-age benefits, which came into force in 2016, sees most payments capped at their current rate until 2019.
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mr McDonnell said the proposals the party was putting forward "would ensure that in effect we would be addressing this issue of how we reverse the benefit freeze itself".
"I want to do it as part of an overall reform package and not just pick off one by one."
He said: "We're putting £30bn in over the lifetime of a Parliament into welfare, we're reforming the whole process... and the implication of that will be... the impact of these proposals will make the freeze irrelevant because we'll reform the whole process."
Labour's manifesto includes plans to scrap the so-called bedroom tax, restore housing benefit for those under 21 and increase Personal Independence Payments for the disabled.
When pushed about what level of economic growth would be needed for Labour to deliver its plans, Mr McDonnell insisted the party's proposals were "completely cost neutral... because for everything you put in, you get the money back".
Mr McDonnell rejected Resolution Foundation findings that 78% of Conservative cuts would not be reversed under Labour proposals.
He said his strength of feeling on this issue was such that he would deliver the reforms in the first Budget.
Mr Corbyn told Sky News: "Yes, the freeze would be ended because it's very, very unfair on those people in receipt of those benefits."
He said £2bn had been set aside "as a start" and "obviously we would review it as time goes on".
Asked about immigration, Mr Corbyn said a Labour government would deliver a "fair" system, but would not be drawn on whether he personally wanted to see numbers rise or fall.
He said net migration would "probably be lower" in the future, but added: "I want us to have a society that works and I cannot get into a numbers game because I don't think it works."
Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green described Labour's economic policies as "nonsensical".
Mr Green told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "The way Labour approaches any problem is to say: There is a magic money tree... we don't need to reform anything, we don't need to change anything, we just need to take money off businesses and people, and that solves the problem."
"Inseparable" five-week-old spring lamb Bella and one-year-old Border Collie Blake disappeared from a garden in Perlethorpe, Nottinghamshire, on Monday.
On Wednesday, tracker dogs picked up a scent in nearby woodland, as well as droppings believed to be Bella's.
The search is due to resume later.
It is thought Bella and Blake either escaped from the garden or were stolen.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
Owner Natalie Haywood said their disappearance was a "massive shock" and is desperate for their safe return.
She has been "overwhelmed" by offers of help in her search for the pair.
She said the search dogs will be taken out again later to "pick up where they left off".
The family live near Clumber Park, which the pair might have entered after leaving the garden.
The disappearance of the two animals, which Ms Haywood said were "inseparable", led to a £1,000 reward being offered by ITV presenter Philip Schofield.
Hundreds of people have joined a Facebook group set up to find the pets and many have also joined the searches.
Ms Haywood said she was "in shock" at the level of support.
Five-week-old Bella, who was being bottle fed, was given to the family by a farmer neighbour more than a week ago and was paired with Blake after the loss of her mother.
Ms Haywood, who said she has lost sleep over the missing animals, fears there is a chance they might have been stolen.
"Bring them home, they're family pets, they're happy here."
Newark and Sherwood District Council, which has been looking into the disappearance, believe the pair might have escaped.
Anyone with any information has been asked to contact the authority's dog warden service.
The dead man was found on Shillinghill Road in County Armagh, near Markethill, shortly before 07:00 BST on Monday.
Det Insp Colin Patterson said officers were currently working to establish the circumstances surrounding the sudden death.
He added that "at this stage we believe this may have been as a result of a hit and run road traffic collision".
He appealed for witnesses to contact detectives.
Operator Caledonian MacBrayne said the MV Isle of Arran would be out of action for at least another seven days.
Problems with the vessel's engine mean that only about half of the scheduled services are running.
The breakdown also means that there are no sailings to Campbeltown.
Calmac said the 33-year-old ferry's engine had suffered significant damage and it was unlikely that she would be able to return to service until next Wednesday.
The vessel also suffered a serious breakdown last year but under went a refit over the winter months.
The MV Isle of Arran has been used to provide an enhanced service between Ardrossan and Brodick over the summer months in recent years.
It also covers a weekend route to Campbeltown which became permanent last year after a three-year experiment.
A new ferry, which is still being built and will be named the Glen Sannox, is to be introduced on the Arran route next year. It is not yet known if it will cover the Campbeltown service too.
The breakdown means only about half of the timetabled services between Ardrossan and Brodick are currently running.
Calmac said anyone who could not get their car onto their preferred sailing could still travel as a foot passenger with no advanced booking required.
The firm said some people who want to take their car to Arran may want to consider the three-hour road journey to Kintyre, then sailing from Claonaig to Lochranza.
Campbeltown can still be reached by plane or by bus.
A teaching union said it showed Wales is facing a problem with recruiting new teachers.
Only 553 students started initial secondary teacher training in September 2015 but the official target is 880.
The Welsh Government said the overall teacher vacancy rate "remains very low".
The Ucac teaching union said the figures were "dramatic" and blamed the "out of control" workload as one factor in making the profession less attractive.
Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire Conservative AM Angela Burns said: "With almost 40% of secondary school teacher training places not filled, these worrying figures further emphasise the deeply worrying recruitment problems faced in Wales.
"The new administration must place a greater emphasis on supporting teachers, with a renewed focus on continuous professional development, and giving the profession greater freedom and control."
Teacher training in Wales is currently provided by three centres involving five universities.
Each year, the centres are set recruitment targets for initial teacher training.
The all-Wales target for secondary teacher training courses starting in September 2015 was 880 but figures from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales show only 553 places were filled - 37% below the target.
Recruitment to primary teacher training courses showed a slight drop in relation to the target.
Major reforms of teacher training in Wales are due to be introduced by September 2018.
Rebecca Williams, policy officer at Ucac, said she believed it was not pay and conditions in Wales which was the issue, but workload, which was leading to stress.
"The figures are beginning to tell quite a strong story that we have a recruitment problem into the teaching profession in Wales," she said.
"In a way it's just the tip of the iceberg, it doesn't take into account the drop out of those who don't finish the course and those who drop out in the early years in the profession because they find it's not what they wanted or it doesn't suit them."
The Welsh Government said it wanted to make sure the low vacancy rate continues with the "drive to improve standards and raise the status of the profession".
A spokesman added: "We are committed to recruiting individuals with the right skills, qualifications and commitment into the profession which is why training incentives are available in Wales to encourage high performing graduates to consider teaching as a career."
Arteta, 34, retired from playing at the end of last season after five years at Emirates Stadium.
He won two FA Cups with Arsenal, making 150 appearances and scoring 17 goals.
"I have always been interested in more than just the playing side," said Arteta, describing working under Guardiola as "an amazing opportunity".
Arteta was seen crying after his final Arsenal match, a 4-0 win over Aston Villa on the last day of the Premier League season in May.
He began his career at Spanish giants Barcelona and had spells at Paris St-Germain, Rangers and Real Sociedad before moving to Everton.
Guardiola's first game since succeeding Manuel Pellegrini as City boss will be against Manchester United in a pre-season tournament in China on 25 July.

Only Scot Alain Baxter has finished higher in a World Cup slalom, when he was fourth in Are, Sweden, in 2001.
Konrad Bartelski holds the best British alpine result after coming second in a downhill race in Val Gardena, Italy, 35 years ago.
Ryding, from Lancashire, had never previously finished in the top 10.
He told BBC Sport: "I am delighted. I am sure no-one expected a Brit in the top six!
"I have been skiing well and performing in training but this was better than I would have expected.
"I really had to focus before the second run and give it everything to stay up the rankings. I was aiming to get a solid top 15 so sixth is amazing."
Ryding does not receive UK Sport funding as he builds up to the 2018 Winter Olympics, which will be the 29-year-old's third Games.
In Finland, Ryding was fourth after the first run of two on a foggy Levi course but a couple of errors cost him a podium place.
Austrian world number one Marcel Hirscher claimed his 40th World Cup victory ahead of compatriot Michael Matt, with Italy's Manfred Molgg third.
Ryding's result capped a successful weekend for British winter sports as snowboarders Aimee Fuller and Billy Morgan finished fourth and seventh respectively at a World Cup big air in Milan.
Big air will make its debut in the Pyeongchang Olympics in February 2018.
Thousands were evacuated and large areas left without power as Typhoon Soudelor barrelled through Fujian and Zhejiang provinces on Saturday.
Some counties saw 70cm (27 inches) of rain in 24 hours, the heaviest for 120 years, said state media.
The typhoon earlier swept across Taiwan, leaving at least six people dead and several missing.
Half-a-million people were still without power on the island on Sunday, the Taiwan Power Co said.
Soudelor has now weakened to a tropical storm as it heads inland.
Fujian raised its typhoon alert to the highest level in anticipation of the storm, with at least 163,000 people evacuated to higher ground. There were reports of more evacuations in neighbouring Zhejiang.
In Fujian's main city, Fuzhou, more than 10,000 trees were blown down and there was widespread flooding.
Rail services and flights were cancelled and schools and offices closed.
Twelve people were killed as heavy downpours caused mudslides in rural areas of Wenzhou municipality, in the south of Zhejiang province, Xinhua news agency reported.
Another two people were killed in nearby Lishui, and four people were reported missing, said Xinhua.
The news agency said 1.58 million people had been affected across the region, and that damages to crops and housing was estimated to be some 4bn yuan (£416m; $644m).
Soudelor made landfall in Taiwan earlier on Saturday, with winds of more than 230km/h (142mph), ripping up trees tearing down billboards and triggering landslides.
Among the victims were an eight-year-old girl and her mother who were swept out to sea.
A firefighter was reportedly killed after being hit by a drunk driver as he tried to move a fallen tree.
According to research in the British Medical Journal, the cause was suspected to be Alabama rot, which causes skin lesions and kidney failure.
But it is still not known where it came from and how it started.
Possible cases of Alabama rot were identified in 71 dogs across England between November 2012 and March 2014.
Dogs from Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, Dorset, Shropshire, Surrey, Cornwall, Worcestershire, County Durham and Monmouthshire displayed symptoms.
The disease is known to affect dogs in the USA and has only occasionally been seen outside the country.
This is the first report of a series of cases in England.
Researchers identified 30 possible cases of Alabama rot, including in five English springer spaniels, four flat-coated retrievers and two border collies.
They were from multiple locations but 10 had been in the New Forest in Hampshire shortly before becoming unwell.
Most developed skin lesions and others developed tiredness, loss of appetite, vomiting and fever.
Researchers said acute kidney injury in these dogs was caused by damage to the small blood vessels in the organs.
They concluded it was unclear whether this was an emerging disease or one that was previously present but unrecognised.
The report states: "Continued detailed evaluation will enhance the understanding of the disease and will hopefully help to identify possible triggers."
A police patrol found an item on a footpath between Lakeview Court and Lismara at about 10:40 BST on Sunday.
Army technical officers were called to examine the object.
Police later said the object was examined and "found to be nothing untoward".
Murray, the first player to defend an Olympic singles title, secured his 19th successive victory by a 6-3 6-2 margin.
The 29-year-old, who had a bye in round one, will play South African Kevin Anderson in the third round.
Britain's Johanna Konta also reached the third round with a 6-2 6-3 victory over Donna Vekic and will face fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska next.
In the men's draw, third seed Rafael Nadal, who won the men's doubles in Rio, beat Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas 6-1 7-6 (7-4). Nadal faces Borna Coric, who defeated Nick Kyrgios, in round three.
Australia's Kyrgios smashed three racquets in one changeover during his 7-6 (7-2) 4-6 7-6 (8-6) defeat by Croatia's Coric.
Switzerland's second seed Stan Wawrinka is also through, beating 18-year-old American wild card Jared Donaldson 2-6 6-3 6-4.
The 28-year-old turned down a new contract at former club Heerenveen, for whom he played for the last two years.
Mulder, who has signed a three-year deal, will contest the goalkeeper position with Lukasz Fabianski and Kristoffer Nordfeldt.
"I am very happy to be here. The opportunity has come and I have taken it with both hands," Mulder told the Swansea website.
Mulder, who will join officially in July, will become the fourth Dutch goalkeeper to join the Welsh club after Dorus de Vries, Michel Vorm and Nico Schroeder.
"There have been many Dutch players here, including some goalkeepers," Mulder added.
"A lot of them have done well here so it is nice for me to be here now.
"I know a little bit about the club. I spoke with Leroy Fer and Mike van der Hoorn. They told me some good things about the club.
"Of course I want to challenge to play here, but Lukasz Fabianski is here and Kristoffer Nordfeldt is here, so it is going to be difficult. But I am going to do my best."

Starr used the Ludwig kit in more than 200 performances after taking possession of it on 12 May, 1963.
Last month, Julien's Auctions sold a drum head from a kit Starr played on US television show The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, also for $2.1m.
The ex-Beatles drummer has put several memorabilia items up for sale.
Also available is a guitar used by John Lennon, which he gave to Starr in 1968, some of the drummer's signature rings and his own copy of The Beatles' White Album, marked as number 0000001.
Part of the sale proceeds will go to the Lotus Foundation, founded by Starr and his wife Barbara Bach, which funds and promotes charitable projects aimed at advancing social welfare.
According to the AP news agency, the Ludwig drum kit was sold to Jim Irsay, owner of the American Football team Indianapolis Colts.
The auction runs from until Saturday in Beverly Hills and also online via Julien Auction's website.

NHS Highland said 21 procedures would not go ahead at Raigmore in Inverness on Tuesday. Nine were cancelled on Monday.
The health board said it was taking action to prevent the situation from escalating.
It expects to downgrade the level of alertness by Thursday.
Linda Kirkland, of NHS Highland, told BBC Radio Scotland: "The reason for the red alert is that we are anticipating more patients coming in than are leaving."
She added: "We anticipate this situation continuing at least until tomorrow and to have it cleared by Thursday."
Raigmore Hospital has been at red alert on three occasions in the past 12 months.
However, NHS Highland said the number of patients involved this time was higher than had been previously experienced.
The situation has come at the same time as a watchdog report praising improvements in the cleanliness of wards and equipment at Raigmore.
The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate said the health board had addressed all the requirements from a previous inspection, except one on operating procedures for mattresses.
Demarai Gray opened the scoring early on with a long-range effort before substitute Jacob Murphy tapped in.
Poland rarely threatened and had defender Jan Bednarek sent off late on for tripping Tammy Abraham in the box.
Lewis Baker converted the resultant penalty to complete the win.
The victory against the hosts means Aidy Boothroyd's side top the standings with seven points.
Relive England's win against Poland
England can now look forward to a semi-final at the Stadion Miejski in Tychy on Tuesday, 27 June [17:00 BST] although they will not know who they will face until the completion of the group stage on Saturday.
They will play either Portugal from Group B or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic from Group C.
There are only three groups at the tournament - with the three winners each progressing along with the best-placed runners up. Who England play depends on who claims the spot as the best runner-up.
At the moment Slovakia, who finished second in Group A behind England with six points and a goal difference of +3, are in a strong position to claim it.
If that happens then England will play the winner of Group C, which with one round of games left to play is topped by Germany with six points.
However, if Slovakia do not claim that place then England's last-four opponents will be either Portugal (who are the only team in Group B that could finish in a better position than Slovakia) or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic (who could all finish in second place with a better record than Slovakia) in Group C.
England's first 135 minutes of football at the tournament did nothing to suggest they were capable of avoiding a third successive group-stage exit.
They were unadventurous and ponderous in the opener against Sweden, managing just a single shot on target, and were equally poor for the first 45 minutes of their second game against Slovakia, in which they trailed 1-0 at the break.
However, they showed grit and determination to fight back and win that game 2-1, putting them in control of their own destiny, and they came out fighting in an intimidating atmosphere against Poland.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford once again showed why Everton paid Sunderland £30m for his services with a confident and assured display, while the Leicester pair of Ben Chilwell and Gray were also excellent.
Chilwell dominated down the left, snubbing out Poland attacks while getting forward quickly to create chances, and it was from his excellent pass that Gray scored the opener.
But in truth there were standout performances all over the pitch for England.
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse provided a threat from set-pieces that is so often lacking at senior level, while Alfie Mawson was a dominant presence in defence as well as offering an aerial threat in attack.
The Swansea defender was only denied adding his name to the scoresheet by an excellent Jakub Wrabel save.
After a slow start it appears England are finding their form just at the right time.

It has been a good summer of major tournament football so far for England.
They reached the final of the European Under-17 Championship before losing to Spain on penalties.#
England then claimed their biggest international title since 1966 when their Under-20 side won the World Cup earlier this month, and now the Under-21s are now just two wins away from lifting another major trophy.
However, Spain have been the standout team at the tournament so far. They were the only team to secure their place in the semi-finals with a game to spare and boast some outstanding talent.
Saul Niguez, an Atletico Madrid regular and capped three times by the Spanish senior side, scored a memorable overhead kick in a 5-0 defeat of Macedonia, with Real Madrid's Marco Asensio scoring a hat-trick in that game.
Germany have also won their two games so far and have the tournament's most formidable defence - they are the only team yet to concede a goal.
However, if England perform like they did against Poland then they have every chance of emulating their Under-20 counterparts.
England Under-20 boss Paul Simpson, who was co-commentator on the game for BBC Radio 5 live:
"That was a top, top performance from the first whistle. They did everything manager Aidy Boothroyd would have wanted. It wasn't done by lumping it forwards, it was controlled possession while also being a real threat from set-pieces.
"This performance puts a marker down and shows what we are all about - we are not just here to make up the numbers, we are into the semi-final. And we can go on and get even stronger."
England Under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd: "It's a great moment. After the first game, which was a draw, it was doom and gloom. But we have a good group here and got the two wins that we needed. It was a high-pressure game, if we hadn't won then we would be out.
"We carried out the game plan to a T. We controlled the game and played really well. There were a few nervy moments.
"Demarai Gray was terrific. He worked his socks off. It is a squad game and one of the hardest things is keeping the lads who aren't playing motivated. But it is a good group, I'm really pleased."

Ministers announced the tests would not now be used to measure progress as was intended, because the three systems approved for use are not "comparable".
Teaching unions had warned that using a choice of tests would be problematic.
National Union of Teachers' Christine Blower said: "Flaws in the scheme were well known to Early Years educators."
The NUT general secretary added: "They were pointed out to the Department for Education when it first consulted on the scheme.
"The attempt to make baseline work has cost millions, has prevented children from settling into their school and increased the workload of their teachers."
She added that it was "disingenuous" of the Department for Education to describe the scheme as "optional".
The DfE had said any school wishing to have the progress of their pupils reflected in primary school league tables, rather than just their raw results, would have to adopt one of the three baseline tests on offer from this September.
And hundreds of schools piloted the baseline tests last year.
Ms Blower said: "It (the DfE) pulled out all the stops to get schools to sign up and now, without a word of self-criticism for the months of disruption it brought to schools, it has pulled the plug."
The NASUWT teaching union pointed out that the baseline assessment was to be a "core element of the DfE's proposed reforms" to the school accountability system.
Chris Keates, its general secretary, said it was "another example of the DfE failing to listen to teachers and school leaders in the development of policy".
"The NASUWT made clear from the outset that using different assessments to establish a common baseline was an approach that would always create problems in terms of the comparability of the outcomes produced by these different systems."
The DfE said, in a statement on Thursday, that it had always intended to carry out a comparability study of the three systems and the results meant that to use them as a baseline for a progress measure "would be inappropriate and unfair to schools".
But it stressed the government remained committed to measuring the progress of pupils through primary school and would "continue to look at the best way to assess pupils in the early years".
Schools are free to continue to use the systems they have bought into, with the basic costs of these being borne by the DfE.
But Russell Hobby, head of the National Association of Head Teachers, said it was not clear how many schools would do this.
He added: "Heads will be quite annoyed at the cost in terms of time and effort put into the baseline assessment.
"They will have had to evaluate the different providers. Some of the systems required significant training to use them like sending a member of staff on a day's training."
Liz Marsden, founder and director of Early Excellence, said her organisation would continue provide its assessment, EExBA, and work with schools.
"For us, and the whole early years community, learning is defined by more than academic attainment. We need a broad definition that takes into account emotional, mental and physical health, learning behaviours and dispositions.
"We urge the government to incorporate these features into any new assessment beyond 2016".
The 34-year-old has played 299 games for City, scoring 81 goals, since joining from Barcelona in 2010.
Earlier this season, Toure was left out of the Champions League squad and manager Pep Guardiola fell out with the player's agent, Dimitri Seluk.
"I am delighted. I told myself the journey at City is not done," Toure told the club's website.
The former Monaco and Olympiakos man played in the first leg of the Champions League play-off against Steaua Bucharest in August, but was then dropped from the team by Guardiola.
Seluk claimed the midfielder had been "humiliated" and the Spaniard refused to pick Toure until Seluk apologised for criticising the decision to leave the player out.
But Toure apologised on Seluk's behalf at the start of November and he was was selected for the Premier League game against Crystal Palace later that month, in which he scored two goals following his three-month exile.

Toure became an important part of the team for the remainder of the campaign, playing a total of 31 games, as City finished third in the league.
He said: "I am very lucky now to be part of a great club with great players around me who are helping me to achieve my targets.
"Of course I want to win trophies, that is very important to me. I want to enjoy it at this age still and remaining here is a massive, massive thing.
"It is a great club, going in the right direction with new players who are coming in."
City's director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "Yaya has been a fantastic servant for Manchester City and continues to be a vital member of Pep Guardiola's squad.
"He is one of our most experienced and popular players and we couldn't be happier that he is staying with us as we embark on what we all hope will be a very exciting season."
Toure's deal at Etihad Stadium was coming to an end this summer, while out-of-contract goalkeeper Willy Caballero, winger Jesus Navas and defenders Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna will all leave the club at the end of the month.
City have completed the £43m purchase of Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva, while they have agreed a £35m deal for Benfica goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.
BBC Sport's Simon Stone
It is quite remarkable that Toure should be the only one of City's out-of-contract players to sign a new deal.
In November the 34-year-old appeared to have no future at the club - with his departure in the January transfer window looking increasingly inevitable.
But not only did manager Pep Guardiola extract the apology from Toure's agent he had demanded after his negative comments about the City boss, he then saw the midfielder produce the sort of performances that brought to mind his fantastic early seasons at City when he was one of the most dominant midfielders in the Premier League.
Playing in a deep midfield role, he brought nous and experience to City's team at a point when they badly needed it.
And unlike long-time team-mate Pablo Zabaleta, who has left for West Ham, Toure evidently believes he still has a role to play under Guardiola.
With Ilkay Gundogan likely to remain sidelined for several more months yet with his cruciate injury, expect to see plenty of Toure in the early months of the season. | Proposed cuts would see 190 Essex police community support officer (PCSO) jobs disappear and 15 police stations close their public counters in April.

It comes after the World Health Organization said it was ethical to use untested drugs on Ebola patients.
However, experts say supplies of both the vaccine and the experimental drug Zmapp are limited and it could take months to develop more supplies.
More than 1,000 people have been killed by the current outbreak.
Canada says between 800 and 1,000 doses of the vaccine, which has only been tested on animals, will be donated to the World Health Organization (WHO) for use in West Africa.
However, it will keep a small portion of the vaccine for research, and in case it is needed in Canada.
The current outbreak has infected people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.
Dr Gregory Taylor, deputy head of Canada's Public Health Agency, said he saw the vaccines as a "global resource".
He said he had been advised that it would make sense for health care workers to be given the vaccine, given their increased risk of contracting the disease.
Even if Canada releases most of its existing doses, experts warn it could take four to six months to make a quantity large enough to have any real impact at preventing the illness, the BBC's Lee Carter reports from Toronto.
On Tuesday, the WHO said that in light of scale of the outbreak and high number of deaths, it was "ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention."
Last week the WHO declared the Ebola outbreak was a global health emergency.
Liberia says it is getting an experimental drug, Zmapp, after requests to the US government.
However, the WHO said there were only 12 doses.
Zmapp maker Mapp Biopharmaceutical said on Tuesday: "The available supply of ZMapp has been exhausted. We have complied with every request for ZMapp that had the necessary legal/regulatory authorisation.
"Drug has been provided at no cost in all cases."
Zmapp has been used on two US aid workers who have shown signs of improvement, although it is not certain what role the medication played in this.
A Roman Catholic priest, infected with Ebola in Liberia, who died after returning home to Spain is also thought to have been given the drug.
Ebola's initial flu-like symptoms can lead to external haemorrhaging from areas such as eyes and gums, and internal bleeding which can lead to organ failure. Patients have a better chance of survival if they receive early treatment.
What drugs exist currently ?
There are a handful of drugs that have been shown to work well in animals.
One is Zmapp - the drug requested by the Liberian government. This contains a cocktail of antibodies that attack proteins on the surface of the virus.
Only one drug has moved on to early safety testing in humans. Known as TKM-Ebola, this interrupts the genetic code of the virus and prevents it from making disease-causing proteins.
The drug was trialled in healthy volunteers at the beginning of 2014 but the American medicines regulator asked for further safety information. The manufacturer says human studies may soon resume.
Another option would be to use serum from individuals who have survived the virus - this is a part of the blood that may contain particles able to neutralise the virus.
Vaccines to protect against acquiring the disease have also been shown to work in primates. American authorities are considering fast-tracking their development and say they could be in use in 2016. Trials are likely to start soon, according to the WHO.
But experts warn that ultimately the only way to be sure a drug or vaccine is effective is to see if it works in countries affected by Ebola. | Canada says it will donate up to 1,000 doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine to help battle the disease's outbreak in West Africa. | 28,767,695 | 795 | 30 | false |
The attack on the famous Bardo museum in the capital, Tunis, was the deadliest since the revolution, with at least 23 people - mostly European tourists - killed.
The Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the attack - the first by the group in Tunisia.
This would suggest IS is extending its influence in North Africa, following the series of high-profile attacks it has carried out in neighbouring Libya this year, including the bombing of an upmarket hotel and the beheading of Egyptian Coptic Christians living there.
Tunisian authorities say up to 3,000 of its citizens have gone abroad to wage jihad - including to Syria and Iraq, the birthplace of IS - making them the largest number of foreign fighters to join the group's ranks, according to some researchers.
Some of the militants are now said to have returned, increasing the security threat.
The attack is a big blow to Tunisia's new secular-led government, which vowed to take a tougher line against the militants after it defeated the moderate Islamist Ennahda party in elections last year.
Having won the first post-revolution election, Ennahda was accused of being soft on jihadist groups - a perception which grew after leading secular politicians Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi were assassinated in 2013.
Tunisia has also battled fighters linked to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) along its border with Algeria.
The group has carried out a spate of attacks on security forces in Tunisia's mountainous region - at least 14 soldiers were killed in a raid on two checkpoints in July 2014, the heaviest death toll recorded by the army since independence from France in 1956.
That attack came despite the fact that the military had been carrying out an air and ground offensive since 2012 to eliminate the militant threat.
But the setback was not surprising - Tunisia has one of the smallest armies in the region, with little experience in counter-terrorism, though its troops have been receiving training and equipment from Europe and the US.
Within Tunisia, the main Islamist group is Ansar al-Sharia. Designated a terrorist group, it was accused of attacking the US embassy in Tunis in September 2012.
The group is led by Abu Ayadh al-Tunisi, who was pardoned and released from prison after the overthrow of former President Ben Ali's regime as part of efforts to promote reconciliation.
An arrest warrant has been reissued for him following claims that the group has been involved in violence, including the attack on the US embassy and the killing of Mr Belaid and Mr Brahmi.
It denies the allegations, and says it is campaigning peacefully for Islamic law to be implemented in Tunisia.
Ansar al-Sharia has built support through humanitarian work, especially in neighbourhoods where unemployment and poverty levels are high.
Some analysts believe that although its support base is small, Ansar al-Sharia's grassroots mobilisation - and links to IS - makes it the biggest threat to Tunisia's record as the only Arab state to achieve a successful political transition following the uprisings that spread through the region in 2011.
Correction 20 March: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Ahmed al-Rouissi was the same person as Abu Ayadh al-Tunisi
External Affairs Secretary Fiona Hyslop was at the talks by the new Brexit secretary Michael Russell.
The pair also held a briefing session in the Belgian capital.
Mr Russell - who was in Brussels for the first time since his appointment - was also to host a discussion with more than 130 audience members.
The Scottish government said the audience included "Scots working and living in Brussels, stakeholders from member states and further afield, representatives from the EU institutions, and Brussels-based media."
There were due to be representatives from EU members Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia as well as the US, New Zealand, the Faroe Islands, Channel Islands and Japan.
Separately, the SNP - which forms the Scottish government - led a debate at Westminster on the status of EU nationals in the UK following the vote to leave the European Union.
The opposition day debate was led by SNP MP Joanna Cherry, who accused the UK government of using EU nationals as a "bargaining chip" in Brexit negotiations.
But Home Office Minister Robert Goodwill claimed that Nicola Sturgeon suggested in 2014 that the 160,000 EU citizens living in Scotland would "lose their right to stay here" if the country was outside Europe.
Mr Goodwill's comment sparked an angry reaction from the SNP benches, with Ms Cherry insisting her party's long-standing policy has been to ensure equal rights for all living in Scotland.
Speaking ahead of the Brussels visit, Mr Russell said: "A key objective from these talks will be to work with others across the political divide to avert a hard Brexit for Scotland - there is simply no UK mandate for that.
"I will also raise the first minister's commitment to publish proposals that would allow Scotland to stay in the single market and to preserve aspects of our relationship with the EU even if the rest of the UK is intending to leave."
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she will publish proposals in the coming weeks aimed at allowing Scotland to retain access to the European single market after Brexit.
But she has said the prospect of a so-called "hard Brexit" would make it highly likely that a second independence referendum would be held if it was deemed "necessary to protect our country's interests".
Ms Sturgeon has also said an Independence Referendum Bill will be published for consultation this week.
Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted that she wants to engage with the Scottish government on the Brexit issues "that particularly matter to Scotland".
And she has predicted Brexit will "enhance" Scotland's standing in the world rather than diminish it as it offered an "exciting chance to forge a new role in the world".
But she has also said Scotland will not be able to remain in the EU when the rest of the UK leaves, and that she was firmly against the prospect of a second Scottish independence referendum.
By convention, former presidents tend to leave the political fray and avoid commenting on their successors.
Mr Obama said he would give Mr Trump time to outline his vision but added that, as a private citizen, he might speak out on certain issues.
Mr Trump spent the weekend interviewing candidates for top jobs in his cabinet.
"I want to be respectful of the office and give the president-elect an opportunity to put forward his platform and his arguments without somebody popping off," Mr Obama said at a forum in Lima, Peru.
But, he added, if an issue "goes to core questions about our values and our ideals, and if I think that it's necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, then I'll examine it when it comes".
The president described himself as an "American citizen who cares deeply about our country".
Speaking at a news conference to mark the end of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit, Mr Obama reiterated that he would extend to Mr Trump's incoming administration the same professional courtesy shown to his team by his predecessor George W Bush.
Mr Bush has refrained since leaving office from commenting on Mr Obama's presidency. "I don't think it does any good," he told CNN in 2013, after Mr Obama was elected for a second time.
"It's a hard job. He's got plenty on his agenda. It's difficult. A former president doesn't need to make it any harder. Other presidents have taken different decisions; that's mine."
Mr Bush's stance falls in line with tradition. US presidents tend to avoid criticising predecessors or successors. Mr Obama was clear that he would not weigh in on Mr Trump's decisions while he was still in office.
But his suggestion that, as a private citizen, he would seek to defend "core values" comes amid mounting concern among civil rights groups and others about Mr Trump's political appointments.
The president-elect's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was previously the head of Breitbart, a website accused of promoting racism and anti-Semitism. And Mr Trump's national security adviser, Gen Michael Flynn, has previously likened Islam to a "cancer" spreading through the US.
Mr Trump's nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, lost the chance to become a federal judge in 1986 because of allegedly racist remarks.
Mr Obama said he believed the intense responsibility of the presidency would force Mr Trump to moderate some of the more extreme policy positions he had advocated during his campaign.
On Sunday the incoming president indicated he had made more selections after a weekend of interviews at his golf resort in New Jersey, saying: "We really had some great meetings, and you'll be hearing about them soon."
Mr Trump has confirmed he is considering retired Marine Corps Gen James Mattis for the role of defence secretary, calling him "very impressive" in a tweet. He also met former critic Mitt Romney, who is now being considered for secretary of state.
Mr Trump also says that his wife, Melania, and their 10-year-old son Barron will not move into the White House straight away. They would move "very soon, right after he finishes school", he said. The US school year runs from late August or early September until late May or June.
Mr Obama, meanwhile, said his first priority after leaving office was to take his wife, Michelle, on holiday, and "get some rest, spend time with my girls and do some writing, do some thinking".
Asked about the failure of the Democratic party's campaign under Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama criticised the "micro-targeting" of "particular, discrete groups", arguing there should have been an effort to reach out to the entire country.
Mrs Clinton has been criticised for focusing her energy on certain demographics, including Latinos and women, who were believed to support her, at the expense of a more inclusive campaign.
That approach "is not going to win you the broad mandate that you need", Mr Obama said, adding that the party needed a "smarter message".
The rivals, who will clash in the Ulster Senior Football Championship on 4 June, face a dress-rehearsal in the Athletic Grounds (20:00 GMT).
Monaghan and Cavan will advance to the semi-finals if they avoid defeat against St Mary's and UU respectively.
Holders Tyrone may finish best runners-up with a win over Donegal though Derry and Fermanagh are still in the hunt.
Despite having lost their opener against Derry, Armagh's big win over Queen's on Sunday means that are likely to qualify as Section A winners, unless the Oak Leafers will heavily against Queen's.
New Down forward Alan Davidson, a former Irish League player with Ballymena, Glenavon and Newry City, hit 0-9 in Sunday's 0-15 to 0-14 win over Derry at Pairc Esler.

"We managed to grind the result out in the end," he said.
"It's early days, but there is only positivity in the camp now at the moment.
"We will go into the Armagh game on Wednesday night confident."
Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney said the game will have no bearing on what happens come the big championship showdown in June.
"You'll be doing different things, there will be some hands held back and some shown, but in terms of where we both are, being honest, we're not that far apart."
While Derry probably need to win big against Queen's at Owenbeg to keep alive their qualification hopes, manager Damian Barton insists that he team will need to perform well to beat the students.
"Winning the match is the target and it will presumably be the same for Queen's," the Derry manager told BBC Sport Northern Ireland.

"We made changes against Down on Sunday and will do the same on Wednesday. This competition is about giving boys a run-out and a taste. The league is approaching very fast."
After outclassing Antrim at the weekend, Monaghan will be expected to finish Section B with a 100% record by accounting for St Mary's at Inniskeen while Fermanagh's most realistic hope of qualification is that a big win over the Saffrons might be enough to see them clinching the best runners-up spot.
However, Tyrone go into the final round of games in pole position to clinch the final last-four spot, given their scoring average of 1.34.
While Donegal boss Declan Bonner expects to have a stronger under-21 squad available to him at Healy Park than in Sunday's defeat by Cavan, the Red Hands will still be strong favourites to rack up a comprehensive victory.
Eoghan Gallagher, Lorcan Connor, Christin Bonner and Stephen McBrearty are among a number of players who may line out for Donegal after missing Sunday's game.
However, Mickey Harte has included several regulars in his starting line-up, including Mattie Donnelly's return from suspension, so the young Donegal side are likely to be up against it.
Cavan, meanwhile, will be fancied to complete a winning run in Section C by accounting for Ulster University at Breffni Park.

James Martin and Veronica Ryan, both from west Belfast, had previously been convicted of the false imprisonment of Special Branch agent Joe Fenton.
Mr Fenton was shot dead after being lured to a house in February 1989.
Appeal judges quashed their conviction in October, but would not say why.
The judges said they would not reveal the reasons why a confidential dossier rendered the guilty verdicts unsafe.
However, senior judges have now certified a legal question for their lawyers to take to the UK's highest court.
Amid speculation that the dossier contains material on intelligence agents, it is believed to be the first challenge of its kind in the UK.
Following the couple's conviction for false imprisonment, Mr Martin, who was also found guilty of making property available for terrorism, was later sentenced to four years in prison.
His wife, formerly known as Veronica Martin, was jailed for six months.
Their case was referred back to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which examines potential miscarriages of justice.
It was given access to sensitive material that had not been made available to prosecutors involved in their case, or the trial judge.
In 2012, it emerged that Director of Public Prosecutions Barra McGrory believed the guilty verdicts should be quashed.
However, the secretary of state issued a Public Interest Immunity certificate, protecting the confidential dossier.
Last month, the Court of Appeal ruled that the convictions must be quashed due to a serious failure in the prosecution's disclosure obligations at trial.
However, judges held that the public interest would be undermined by revealing the material covered by the Public Interest Immunity certificate.
Lawyers for the couple returned on Tuesday to seek permission to take their battle for disclosure of the reasons to the Supreme Court.
Although leave was formally refused, judges agreed to certify a question on whether the principles of open justice required a judgement containing a resume or gist of the information contained in the certificate.
It will now be up to the Supreme Court to decide if it wants to examine the case.
The IPCC - weren't they the ones who said the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035? How can we trust what they say this time?
The weight given to the reports of the IPCC is a measure of the global scale of scientific involvement with the panel.
Divided into three working groups that look at the physical science, the impacts and options to limit climate change, the panel involves thousands of scientists around the world.
The first report, to be presented in Stockholm, has 209 lead authors and 50 review editors from 39 countries.
The 30-page Summary for Policymakers that will be published after review by government officials in the Swedish capital is based on around 9,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 50,000 comments from the expert reviewers.
But among these icebergs of data, things can and do go awry.
In the last report, published in 2007, there were a handful of well publicised errors, including the claim that Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. The wrong percentage was also given for the amount of land in the Netherlands under sea level.
The IPCC admitted it had got it wrong and explained that, in a report running to 3,000 pages, there were bound to be some mistakes. The Himalayan claim came from the inclusion of an interview that had been published in the magazine New Scientist.
In its own words, the IPCC is there "to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts".
The offspring of two UN bodies, the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, it has issued four heavyweight assessment reports to date on the state of the climate.
These are commissioned by the governments of 195 countries, essentially the entire world. These reports are critical in informing the climate policies adopted by these governments.
The IPCC itself is a small organisation, run from Geneva with a full time staff of 12. All the scientists who are involved with it do so on a voluntary basis.
In 2009, a review of the way the IPCC assesses information suggested the panel should be very clear in future about the sources of the information it uses.
The panel was also scarred by association with the "Climategate" rumpus. Leaked emails between scientists working for the IPCC were stolen and published in 2009.
They purported to show some collusion between researchers to make climate data fit the theory of human-induced global warming more clearly. However at least three investigations found no evidence to support this conclusion.
But the overall effect of these events on the panel has been to make them more cautious.
Although this new report is likely to stress a greater certainty among scientists that human activities are causing climate warming, in terms of the scale, level and impacts, the word "uncertainty" features heavily.
"What we are seeing now is that this working group is getting more careful than they already were," said Prof Arthur Petersen, chief scientist at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.
"Overall, the message is, in that sense, more conservative I expect, for this IPCC report compared to previous ones."
Hasn't global warming stopped since 1998?
The 2007 IPCC report made no mention of any slowdown or standstill in temperature rises in recent decades. They pointed out that the linear warming trend over the previous 50 years was 0.13C per decade, which was twice that for the past 100 years.
They forecast that, if emissions of carbon dioxide continued on their existing path, over the next century the climate would respond by warming between 2C and 4.5C, with a most likely rise of 3C.
But since 2007, climate sceptics have loudly argued that global average temperatures haven't actually gone above the level recorded in 1998.
The issue is now being taken more seriously by the IPCC and other respected science organisations.
My colleague David Shukman summarised some of the explanations now being offered as to why the temperatures have not risen more quickly in line with the modelling.
Most scientists believe that the warming has continued over the past 15 years, but more of the heat has gone into the oceans. They are unsure about the mechanisms driving this change in behaviour.
The most recent peer reviewed article suggested that a periodic, natural cooling of the Pacific Ocean was counteracting the impact of carbon dioxide.
"1998 was a particular hot year due to a record-breaking El Niño event, while recently we have had mostly the opposite - cool conditions in the tropical Pacific," Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, told BBC News.
"That warming has not stopped can be seen from the ongoing heat accumulation in the global oceans."
Climate sceptics, however, argue that the pause is evidence that climate models used by the IPCC are too sensitive and exaggerate the effects of carbon dioxide.
"In the last year, we have seen several studies showing that climate sensitivity is actually much less than we thought for the last 30 years," said Marcel Crok, a Dutch author who is sceptical of the IPCC process.
"These studies show that our real climate has a sensitivity of between 1.5C and 2.0C. But the models are much more sensitive, and warm up three degrees."
Am I going to get flooded?
The 2007 IPCC report was heavily criticised for its estimations on sea level rise.
The panel suggested that a warming planet would see waters around the world rise by between 18cm and 59cm by the end of this century. Heat causes the seas to expand but also increases the rate of melting of glaciers and ice sheets.
The IPCC doesn't commission any new science, but reviews and condenses existing peer reviewed material.
Each Summary for Policymakers is a short distillation of an underlying report that can stretch to several hundred pages. The final draft of the short summary is presented to representatives of the 195 governments who commission the report.
In a hectic week before publication, every single line is gone through by the scientists and civil servants. The lead authors are in the room and can veto a change if it isn't supported in the underlying report.
The IPCC figure didn't include any estimates for the extra water coming from the Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets as they said they didn't have enough accurate information.
Other researchers were critical of this approach and have published studies that suggested a far higher sea level rise.
But in recent months, a study funded by the European Union and involving scientists across the world, came up with what they believe is the most accurate estimate yet - and it increases the level of sea rise by just 10cm from the IPCC report.
"What we are talking about is a reduction in uncertainty - we find we haven't changed the number enormously compared to AR4 (IPCC 2007 report)," said Prof David Vaughan, from the British Antarctic Survey (Bas), while speaking at the launch of the report.
"We've added maybe another 10cm but the level of certainty we have around that is actually higher than it was in the AR4."
Leaked details from the forthcoming report indicate that the worst sea level rise scenarios for the year 2100, under the highest emissions of carbon dioxide, could reach 97cm.
Some scientists, including Prof Rahmstorf, have been unhappy with the models used by the IPCC to calculate the rise. Using what's termed a semi-empirical model, the projections for sea level can reach 2m. At that point, an extra 187 million people across the world would be flooded.
But the IPCC is likely to say that there is no consensus about the semi-empirical approach and will stick with the lower figure of just under 1m.
So will all this mean more flooding?
"Yes, but not everywhere," said Prof Piers Forster from the University of Leeds. "Generally, the wet regions will get wetter and the dry ones drier."
The report is also likely to assess the intensity of storms, and there might be some better news in that there is likely to be a downwards revision.
And what about the Polar bears?
The state of the North and South Poles has been of growing concern to science as the effects of global warming are said to be more intense in these regions.
The IPCC has evolved a complicated way of communicating scientific certainty and confidence in a finding:
very unlikely - 0-10%
unlikely - 10-33%
likely as not - 33-66%
likely - 66-100%
very likely - 90-100%
Extremely likely - 95-100%
Virtually certain - 99-100%
Confidence is also expressed as very low, low, medium, high and very high.
Evidence can can be limited, medium or robust.
And levels of agreement can be low, medium or high
In 2007, the IPCC said that temperatures in the Arctic increased at almost twice the global average rate in the past 100 years. They pointed out that the region can be highly variable, with a warm period observed between 1925 and 1945.
In the drafts of the latest report, the scientists say there is stronger evidence that ice sheets and glaciers are losing mass and sea ice cover is decreasing in the Arctic.
In relation to Greenland, which by itself has the capacity to raise global sea levels by six metres, the panel says they are 90% certain that the average rate of ice loss between 1992 and 2001 has increased six-fold in the period 2002 to 2011.
While the Arctic mean sea ice extent has declined by around 4% per decade since 1979, the Antarctic has increased up to 1.8% per decade over the same time period.
As for the future, the suggestions are quite dramatic. Under the worst carbon emissions scenarios, an Arctic free of sea ice in the summer by the middle of this century is likely.
Some recent newspaper reports have suggested that sea ice in the Arctic has recovered in 2013, but scientists are virtually certain about the trend.
"The sea ice cover on the Arctic ocean is in a downward spiral," said Prof Rahmstorf. "And much faster than IPCC predicted."
And Prof Shang-Ping Xie from the University of California in San Diego told BBC News that the outlook for polar bears and other species isn't good.
"There will be pockets of sea ice in some marginal seas. Hopefully, polar bears will be able to survive summer on these pockets of remaining sea ice," he said.
Does the IPCC have a future?
There have been growing calls for reform of the IPCC process from critics and friends alike.
Many believe that these big, blockbuster reports, published once every six years, are not the way forward in the modern era.
"The close government scrutiny and infrequent publication certainly fillip the climate change agenda," said Prof Forster.
"But, given the pace of both science and news, perhaps it is time the IPCC moved with the Twitter generation."
Many sceptical voices are also calling for changes.
Marcel Crok says the whole process of the IPCC is bad for the scientific principle of open argument.
"It is not designed to answer questions because the whole IPCC process, the whole consensus-building process, is choking the openness of the scientific debate," he explained.
However, some argue the IPCC plays an important role as a source of information for developing countries.
And again others think the organisation will survive for far more unprincipled reasons. "It is a UN body," said Prof Petersen. "It may perpetuate until eternity."

Authorities say around 1,000 migrants will be affected by the eviction plan for the southern part of the camp.
Aid agencies say the number of people living there is much higher.
Local officials said public areas such as places of worship or schools would not be cleared and said it would be a "humanitarian operation".
A deadline had initially been ordered for the southern part of the "Jungle" to be cleared by Tuesday evening but activists appealed to the court to halt the evictions.
The judge visited the camp as she considered her ruling.
Conditions there are squalid and its sprawling presence has become a controversial issue in both France and the UK.
Those living in the camp, mainly from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa, hope to cross the Channel to reach Britain.
Calais Mayor Natacha Bouchart said the authorities were being cautious to avoid people squatting on the site. "We're relieved by this announcement but we're vigilant."
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve insisted that the evictions would be a humanitarian operation. "There was never any question of the French government sending bulldozers on to the site," he said earlier on Thursday.
Neighbouring Belgium this week announced temporary controls on its border with France amid fears of an influx of migrants from the camp.
"It's our express intention to avoid tent camps like Calais in our country," Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said.
France described the Belgian move as "strange". Mr Cazeneuve said the very idea of Calais migrants heading for Belgium "doesn't correspond to reality". However, Belgian officials say dozens have already been stopped trying to cross the border.
Tea, rivalry and ambition at 'Jungle hotel'
Jungle migrants prepare to move
Migrants resist relocation to containers
Under the judge's order, French authorities cannot use force to move the migrants. The BBC's Tomos Morgan at the camp says they hope to "persuade" everyone to leave.
Police have indicated no evictions will be happening immediately, according to charity workers.
Officials say migrants will have three options: they can move into heated container accommodation at the camp, or similar accommodation elsewhere in France, or they can claim asylum in France.
The French government says its aim is to ensure that no-one has to live in undignified conditions any longer.
But many residents have told the BBC that they do not want to leave.
Save the Children's emergency manager in Calais, Ginny Howells, said the decision would "make a terrible situation for children much worse".
The team went into administration in October but, as revealed by BBC Sport, have secured investment from Stephen Fitzpatrick, boss of energy firm Ovo.
Former Sainsbury's boss Justin King has joined as interim chairman.
He said he was confident that Manor had "the right people, the right values and sheer hard work" and would be "competitive at the highest level".
King is not financially involved in the team but will take a leading role on the business side of the operation.
Fitzpatrick's investment is a personal one and the money he has put into the team does not come from Ovo.
He said: "I have a lifelong passion for F1 and can't wait for the season ahead."
Manor Marussia have announced Englishman Will Stevens will be one of their drivers and said a deal to sign the second would be completed soon.
The team's new car, a modified version of the 2014 model, must pass F1's mandatory crash tests before they can race at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne from 13-15 March.
Those tests are scheduled to take place this week.
Graeme Lowdon, who has been with the team through its various guises as Manor, Virgin and Marussia, remains as president and sporting director.
He said: "It has been a challenging period for all of us but we've come through it and now we just want to go racing again.
"With formidable new business leadership in Stephen Fitzpatrick and the board presence of Justin King, we are now in a great place ahead of the new season. This is a fantastic and very rewarding moment for all those involved with the team."
Oil giant Shell has come up with one answer which could be put to the test next year - using a mega-ship to remove the topside of an oil platform in a single lift.
Measuring 300m from the seabed to its highest point, the Brent Delta platform stands as tall as the Eiffel Tower.
The structure, one of four located in the Brent field, is located 115 miles out to sea off Shetland. It has reached the end of its production life after 35 years.
At its peak in 1982, the Brent field produced more than half a million barrels of oil per day. Production that year would have met the annual energy needs of around half of all UK homes.
Plans have been drawn up by operator Shell to decommission Delta, and a new giant Korean-built ship has been lined up to take on the first major challenge.
At 382m long - the length of five jumbo jets - Pioneering Spirit has been tasked with removing the Delta's 24,000-tonne topside. That's the part of the platform which houses the accommodation block, helipad and other operational areas.
According to a Shell inventory, the 44m-tall topside includes 10 tonnes of asbestos (used for insulation and gaskets), 899 tonnes of paint, 31 tonnes of batteries, six tonnes of cotton for bedding and 3,446 fluorescent lighting tubes.
The oil firm hopes Pioneering Spirit - originally called Pieter Schelte - will prove a game-changer by successfully removing the main structure in one go.
In preparation for the monumental task, Pioneering Spirit is currently in Rotterdam being fitted out with sixteen 65-metre long beams which will be used for the lift.
If Shell's decommissioning plan is cleared by UK authorities, the ship will head out next year to Brent, where she will position herself around the Delta platform.
She will then position hydraulic clamps at strong points under the structure before pumping water out of her ballast tank to lift the topside.
The lifting process is expected to take only a few seconds.
How to remove a 24,000 tonne topside
Swiss owner Allseas says Pioneering Spirit has been designed to lift as much as 48,000 tonnes in one go.
But the ship faces another huge challenge - how to remain steady in hostile North Sea waters during the crucial lifting process.
To tackle that, its lift systems have been fitted out with an active motion compensation system.
Allseas maintains that the ship can carry out a lift in waves of up to 3.5m high.
On its website, the company says: "Analysis has shown that in hostile environments such as the North Sea, a motion compensation system is essential on a single-lift vessel to eliminate impact forces on large topsides.
"In the absence of such a system, local damage can occur even when the wave height is small and vessel motions are very limited."
Shell considered two other options for the Delta topside before choosing the single lift.
One was a process known as "piece small," which involves cutting the topside into small pieces - each weighing between 10kg and 100kg - and shipping them back to shore.
The second option, "reverse install," involves cutting and removing large sections or modules in the reverse order from which they were installed.
Shell argues that its single-lift proposals will reduce time, costs and environmental risks associated with the decommissioning process.
Brent decommissioning project director Alistair Hope said: "The award of the contract to Allseas to use the Pioneering Spirit vessel demonstrates Shell's commitment to finding safe, innovative solutions.
"It is the first vessel ever built with the ability to remove topsides of this size and scale in one lift."
If all goes according to plan, Pioneering Spirit will then ship the topside structure to a special yard in Hartlepool for dismantling.
19,781
tonnes of carbon steel
3,446 fluorescent lighting tubes
899 tonnes of paint on structure
20 cubic metres of firefighting foam
10 tonnes of asbestos
Shell is aiming to have 97% of the material recycled.
Should it successfully carry out the giant lift, Pioneering Spirit could be kept busy in the Brent field for the best part of a decade.
Allseas also has a contract from Shell to remove the topsides of two of the other three platforms in the field - Bravo and Alpha (along with Alpha's steel jacket) - subject to consultation and UK government approval.
It has an option to do the same with the fourth platform, Charlie.
Together the four topsides have a combined weight of more than 100,000 tonnes.
Shell has yet to put forward its decommissioning proposals for the rest of Brent - one of the largest fields in the North Sea, with more than 140 wells and 28 pipelines.
Three of the platforms (Bravo, Charlie and Delta) have giant concrete "legs" which support the topsides above the surface of the sea.
Known as gravity base structures, they feature clusters of huge concrete oil storage tanks or "cells" at their base.
The cells contain large quantities of gravel ballast, used to anchor the structure to the seabed.
How Shell intends to handle that tricky part of the decommissioning process has yet to be unveiled.
However, the company says its plans will be submitted when it is confident they are "safe, technically achievable, environmentally sound and financially responsible".
Environmental group WWF Scotland is giving qualified support for the planned Delta lift.
Director Lang Banks told BBC Scotland: "It certainly is not without risk, but on balance lifting the topside in one go is probably the safest method for staff and will be the least damaging for the environment.
"However, the biggest challenge is yet to come with how to deal with what lies beneath the waves. The thousands of tonnes of steel, concrete and drilling muds all require to be dealt with.
"The industry pushed the boundaries of science and engineering to access North Sea oil and gas.
"Having made massive profits over the last few decades, it's only right that it should push those limits once again to clean up their potentially hazardous legacy and protect the marine environment.
"Given the enormous size of the rigs and the iconic nature of the Brent field, this decommissioning will be watched closely and should therefore be aiming to set the highest possible benchmarks for the rest of the industry to follow."
In the meantime, Pioneering Spirit's first big project later this year will be the removal of the smaller Yme platform 100km off the shores of Norway on behalf of Talisman Energy.
Many observers will be keeping a close eye on how the ship fares with that major technical challenge.
The airport had wanted to extend the north-east end of the runway by 590m.
The proposals were first submitted to the planning authorities in 2008.
In a statement on Friday, the airport's Chief Executive Brian Ambrose said the planning application for the extension was being withdrawn as some of the information in the original plan was "out-dated".
Management at George Best Belfast City Airport originally planned to extend the north-east end of the runway, while retracting 120m from the south west.
It was claimed that this could create 100 jobs and £120m in tourism revenue.
Management also claimed that the proposed runway extension would have allowed it to attract a number of new airlines that could not use the existing runway to fly to European destinations.
However, the proposals proved controversial, and the Department of the Environment received 1,486 letters of objection and petitions with 499 names, as well as 2,241 letters of support over the scheme.
Belfast City Airport Watch, a group which opposed the runway extension, said they were still worried about noise nuisance.
"We are concerned that the international flights the airport is still intending to go ahead with, regardless of any runway extension, is going to make that situation worse," said Liz Fawcett from the group.
"We look forward to the fact that the environment minister intends to hold an inquiry into the whole noise issue. What is needed is robust regulation."
The then Environment Minister Edwin Poots announced a public inquiry into the plans in 2010.
Hearings were delayed a number of times and have not taken place.
Ryanair pulled flights out of the airport in October 2010, citing those delays to the public inquiry as a reason.
They were subsequently replaced by other airlines.
On Friday, management at Belfast City Airport confirmed that they had notified the Department of Environment of their decision to withdraw the current planning application to extend the runway.
Mr Ambrose said: "As the planning process relating to the runway application is now in its fourth year and some of the information contained within is now out-dated given our current operations, we have taken the decision to withdraw the current application.
"Our shareholder has therefore reprioritised capital expenditure within its extensive portfolio.
"Re-submitting the runway application in the future remains an option as the airport reviews its operations on an on-going basis.

Rebecca Minnock, 35, went missing from her home in Highbridge, Somerset, with son Ethan for 17 days after a court ruled he should live with his father.
Writing on Facebook, Ms Minnock said she had endured "two years of hell."
She handed herself in to police in Oxford on Friday following pleas from police, family members and the courts.
The pair vanished on 27 May - the day Ms Minnock was due to attend a family court hearing in Bristol and hand her son over to ex-partner Roger Williams, 39.
Mr Williams, of Burnham-on-Sea, confirmed on Saturday that he had been reunited with Ethan, and said: "Ethan is safely back in my care now."
Avon and Somerset Police have made no arrests since Miss Minnock came forward.
In Ms Minnock's social media message, she thanked supporters who had signed a petition urging social services to re-examine the custody case.
"That heart-breaking moment when you see that the little seed your baby planted weeks and weeks ago has finally started to grow, and he's not here to see it," she wrote.
"To say I'm devastated is an understatement, I have today read all the support from all of you and am speechless.
"I am preying (sic) that this case gets re looked at properly and the judge can see that my son belongs with his mama who absolutely loves him to bits.
"Think you all know how much I adore Ethan. Two years of hell, but would do it over and over if it meant he was safe with me. Xx"
In another post on a separate page, Ms Minnock wrote: "To all the mums and dads fighting for their children: please keep going and never give up.
"I will never give up on keeping my beautiful baby safe."
Judge Stephen Wildblood QC, the judge dealing with the case, confirmed a family court hearing would take place at 10:00 BST on Monday at Bristol Crown Court.
Ms Minnock's mother, Louise Minnock, of Highbridge, and her partner, Andrew Butt, of Cheltenham, were sent to prison on Friday in relation to the pair's disappearance.
Saanchi Goyal, 3, and Harry, 4, were looking out through the sunroof of their cars in different parts of Delhi when sharp strings slit their throats.
Zafar Khan, 22, died in the same manner when he was riding his motorbike.
Many Indians fly kites to celebrate festivals and important occasions like the Independence Day.
A policeman in Delhi also suffered injuries from a sharp string, locally known as manja, on Monday.
The Delhi government has now banned the use of sharp strings to fly kites and promised to run campaigns to educate people about the dangers of using such strings.
Most people use glass-coated strings to bring down competitors' kites, but the tactic also ends up injuring and killing people.
Similar strings killed a five-year-old boy in 2015 in the northern town of Moradabad, and a five-year-old girl died in Jaipur in 2014.

Frampton, 29, faces former champion Santa Cruz in Las Vegas on Saturday, after claiming the Mexican's title in a thrilling fight in New York in July.
It will be the Northern Irishman's first fight at the MGM Grand Arena.
"I said Carl had the ability to go all the way, and certain people in the game laughed," McGuigan told Radio 5 live.
"It's childish and frivolous to now laugh at them because it's pointless. We just want to win."
Frampton's points victory in July was the first defeat of Santa Cruz's career, with several publications including Ring Magazine and ESPN naming Frampton as the fighter of 2016.
"The pinnacle of the fight game is headlining the strip and that's what Carl is doing," said McGuigan, whose son Shane is Frampton's trainer.
In the build-up to Frampton's first fight with Santa Cruz, the majority of US boxing pundits backed the Mexican to continue his undefeated career, only for the Belfast fighter to stun the three-weight world champion.
Frampton and McGuigan both expect Santa Cruz, 28, to be more aggressive this time but think that could work to Frampton's advantage.
"Although he's taller than me, I'm going to be the bigger man on the night and he can't bully me," said Frampton.
"That's where he gets his success, he bullies people, but he can't do that to me. I'm hurting him and making him think twice and he's never been in that position before."
McGuigan added: "If Santa Cruz wants to win this fight he's got to put pressure on Carl and he's got to overwhelm him.
"But by doing that he's putting himself in the firing zone and I really do think if he does that then Carl will knock him out."
BBC Radio 5 live boxing correspondent Mike Costello
Santa Cruz is a tricky old opponent. We saw him running Carl Frampton close in the first contest. We should remember one of the three judges scored the contest a draw and it was regarded by many as the fight of the year.
Santa Cruz showed in that fight the kind of mettle that had earned him world titles in three different weight divisions across his professional career.
He's won 11 of his 12 world title fights - the Frampton defeat his only one.
He's beaten seven world champions. He's got a typical Mexican style - all-out aggression is what it's based on.
This time around he's got his father very much part of the camp. He was in and out last time because he was receiving treatment for cancer. He says that will have a huge difference because his father will have a better game plan as opposed to his brother, who was in his corner last time.
Frampton says he expects about 5,000 fans to make the trip across the Atlantic to support him, with some fans resorting to extreme lengths to fund their journey.
"I know this guy Keith Dallas - he sold his car and bought his wife another car, which wasn't as good, to raise the funds for this trip," said Frampton.
"This is the stuff they're doing - there's a guy coming from Australia to watch the fight as well. It's not easy to get to Las Vegas, it's expensive and it makes me more appreciative of the effort people are putting in to get out here."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, boxing journalist Steve Bunce said the build-up to the rematch reminded him of the atmosphere surrounding the fights of British former light-welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas.
Hatton fought three times at the MGM Grand in his career, beating Paulie Malignaggi there in 2008 and losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
Bunce said: "I did those Hatton fights. It's one thing having 2,000 or 3,000 people there like Frank Bruno had, like Lennox Lewis had, but to be there for Ricky, the big Ricky fights, everywhere you turned and looked there were British fans. And that's something Carl will get."
Explaining Frampton's decision to move up from super-bantamweight, where he had unified the IBF and WBA titles by beating Briton Scott Quigg, McGuigan said his fighter had reached a point where it was becoming "miserable" for him to make the 122lb weight limit.
"The comfort at which he makes the weight now and how he can rehydrate and get stronger, he's a beast at 126lbs," he added.
Frampton echoed his manager's view, stating he felt in "better spirits" at featherweight, having "hated" fight week at super-bantamweight.
"It was a slog but now I'm enjoying it more and you're going to see even better performances because of that," he said.
"I think I can go up another weight too - become a world champion at that weight and I go down as a three-weight world champion, the only ever Irishman to do that, and then you're talking about the hall of fame and that's a big deal."
Frampton said he has no plans "to go on forever" and that he "can't wait" to retire, to the consternation of his trainer and manager.
"When it's time to call it a day, I'll call it a day," he said.
"My close-knit team will say the same, if they see me sliding or not improving any more then it's time to get out and get out on top.
"When it's time to call it a day, I'll be happy to support the next big name coming through - hopefully it's another Belfast lad coming to Las Vegas and I'll be right behind him."
The England captain returned to the Saints' side in their 36-31 defeat by Leicester on 25 March.
"I've had a frustrating 18 months I suppose," hooker Hartley, 31, told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I haven't played as much rugby for Saints as I'd have liked, but playing against Leicester was a great feeling."
Due to a combination of England duty, suspensions and concussion absences, Hartley has made only 15 appearances for Northampton in the last two seasons.
But while he has no plans to end his international ambitions to prolong his club career, he is now looking forward to helping Saints' pursuit of the top four.
He said: "I want to play my best and play in the best teams and part of that is going away with England.
"I've done it for almost 10 years now and that's something I'll never give up on, but I love playing for Northampton and I want to play as many games as possible.
"With the intensity England train at, I feel fit and I felt like I played a good game against Leicester, so form-wise I feel good.
"It's just good to be back playing in a Saints shirt because it's been a while."
Meanwhile, former Saints captain Lee Dickson will join Championship side Bedford Blues as a player-coach at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old scrum-half has played 250 times for Northampton since his move from Newcastle in 2008.

The measures are contained in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, which will be voted on by Holyrood later.
The bill also sets out police powers to arrest, hold in custody and question suspects.
But a controversial proposal to end the need for corroboration was dropped earlier this year.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson confirmed in September that Police Scotland was to stop the controversial practice of non-statutory stop and searches of adults and children.
It came after the Scottish government asked John Scott QC to examine the issue. His report found that ending the searches would not prevent officers carrying out their duties effectively.
In a statement to MSPs at Holyrood at the time, Mr Matheson said a new statutory code of practice, as recommended by Mr Scott, would be introduced to underpin how stop and search is used in Scotland.
The Scottish government later introduced a series of amendments to the bill based on the advisory group's recommendations.
Consultations will also be carried out on the terms of the proposed stop and search code of practice, and whether the police should have a specific statutory power to search children under the age of 18 for alcohol.
As well as stop and search, the bill also deals with the length of time police can hold a suspect for questioning without charging them.
It will allow a police officer of the rank of inspector or above to authorise a 12-hour extension to the initial 12-hour time limit - effectively allowing the police to hold a suspect in custody for up to 24 hours without charge.
The additional 12-hour extension period would be subject to a formal requirement on the police to review continued custody beyond the first six hours.
Other measures in the bill include:
The bill had initially included proposals to end the requirement for corroboration - the need for two different and independent sources of evidence - in Scottish criminal cases.
But the plans were dropped from the bill by the Scottish government in April after being heavily criticised by the legal profession, which was concerned it would lead to an increased risk of miscarriages of justice.
Ministers had said they believed more rape, sexual offence and domestic abuse cases would be heard in court if the need for corroboration was removed.
But Mr Matheson said the Scottish government needed more time to consider the findings of a review by Lord Bonomy, who concluded corroboration should still apply to evidence obtained by hearsay and confession.
Possible changes to corroboration laws will now be considered as part of a wider review after the 2016 Holyrood election.

Hartlepool's defeat by Barnet means the Exiles are out of the bottom two just six weeks after being 11 points adrift.
The loss was a blow to Accrington's rapidly diminishing chances of a place in the play-offs.
Accrington are five points adrift of seventh place with two matches remaining.
Meanwhile Newport find themselves two points ahead of Hartlepool and could secure League Two survival with a win at Carlisle on 29 April.
Newport County caretaker manager Mike Flynn told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "It feels absolutely amazing, but we're keeping grounded, there's nothing done yet, nothing achieved.
"We've just got ourselves in a good position and we've got to keep going now until the end of the season.
"It has been a great turnaround and the boys have been fantastic. I would have wanted a few more goals but I'll take another couple of 1-0 wins before the end of the season."

The drawing room chandelier is said to have been found in 1945, abandoned in a street in northern Germany.
However, a report by Holocaust research organisation the Simon Wiesenthal Centre casts doubt on its provenance.
The Scottish government is now making inquiries with the National Trust for Scotland, which owns Bute House.
The four-storey Georgian house at 6 Charlotte Square, in the heart of Edinburgh, was acquired by the Treasury in 1966 from the Bute family in lieu of death duties.
It passed to the National Trust for Scotland and since 1999 has been the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland.
According to a 2012 Scottish government guidebook, the elaborate drawing room chandelier was found in the German town of Cleves by English interior designer Felix Harbord who helped Lady Bute with the decoration of her family homes.
It said: "One day he came upon this chandelier abandoned in one of the streets of Cleves and had it packed in empty munitions boxes, which he addressed to No 6 Charlotte Square.
"With the help of Edinburgh antique dealers, Lady Bute traced suitable replacements for the missing pieces of glass and successfully assembled and installed the light fitting in the Drawing Room at Bute House."
However, it has emerged that a 2008 report by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre is sceptical about the account, suggesting it may have been "looted from the British collecting point at Schloss Celle, or it may be an object looted from legitimate German ownership".
By the late summer of 1945, all the looted works of art that had been retrieved in the British zone of occupation were transferred to a permanent collecting point at Schloss Celle, near Brunswick.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said it would try to clarify the previous ownership of the chandelier.
She said: "The Simon Wiesenthal Centre report raises questions over how the Bute House drawing room chandelier came to be brought to Scotland and into the ownership of the Bute family.
"We will discuss this with the National Trust for Scotland, which owns the property and most of the fittings, including the chandelier, to clarify if information on the provenance of the chandelier is contained in the trust's archives."
The National Trust for Scotland said the chandelier and the contents of the property were gifted some 50 years ago.
It said it was unclear how much information could be gained on the provenance of the chandelier.
A statement said: "We will pursue this with the Bute House trustees, who have been legally responsible for the supervision of the property since 1966."
The issue of looted artworks and antiquities has come under scrutiny in Scotland after Glasgow City Council last week agreed to pay compensation to the legitimate owners of a tapestry which is part of the Burrell Collection.
The tapestry had been acquired by Sir William Burrell in 1938, just before the outbreak of World War Two.
Pattinson, the brother of former Notts bowler Darren, will be available for the County Championship and 50-over One-Day Cup until the end of June.
The 26-year-old made the last of his 17 Test appearances for Australia against New Zealand in February 2016.
Siddle, 32, signed for Notts on a two-year deal ahead of last season, but never played because of a back injury.
"As soon as James became available as a replacement, we knew he was a great option," head coach Peter Moores said.
"He's got real pace - and he's very aggressive, which is the way we want to play our cricket."
Pattinson has struggled with a string of injuries in recent seasons, and asked not to be considered for Australia's current tour of India in order to regain full fitness playing for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield.
The firm said it was "sorry" people experienced delays because of a crash near Asda Coryton where it was parked.
Five-mile (8km) tailbacks built up and motorists complained they had been delayed for hours on the M4 eastbound.
Asda apologised saying the event had proved extremely popular.
The lorry was parked at the store at junction 32 all day on Thursday and angry drivers took to social media to complain about the delays during evening rush hour traffic.
A Coca-Cola Great Britain spokesperson said: "We're sorry to hear that as a result of an earlier traffic incident in Cardiff near to where the Coca-Cola Christmas truck was visiting, people experienced delays to their journeys last night.
"When deciding on the route and stops for the truck tour we work closely with local authorities to minimalise any disruption to the surrounding area.
"We'll ensure that any feedback from this stop is reflected in the planning for next year."
But Cardiff council disputed the accident claims and said it would have advised not to hold the event near a major roundabout.
"Cardiff council had no involvement in the Coca-Cola truck event at Coryton yesterday," said a spokesman.
"The council does not believe the congestion was caused by the road traffic accident," he added.
Inspector Ian Randell, of South Wales Police, said the congestion was "caused mainly" by those heading to see the Coca-Cola truck but the situation was compounded by two crashes nearby and bad weather.
He added the force would speak to organisers to ensure planning for future events is reviewed.
He was assassinated in US air strikes in southern Somalia on 1 September.
He rose to the helm of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group in 2008 after his predecessor Aden Hashi Ayro was also killed in a previous US air strike in a remote village in southern Somalia.
Also known as Mukhtar Abu Zubair, Godane's ascent to power surprised some observers as he came from the breakaway northern region of Somaliland.
"His rise to power within al-Shabab is unparalleled and in many ways counterintuitive in the history of Somalia's political and military formations," Rashid Abdi, an East Africa analyst who specialises on al-Shabab, told the BBC.
"How did someone with no clan constituency in southern Somalia accumulate such powers and manage to command such following in a tribal country where clan loyalties and affiliation trump everything else?"
The answer probably lies in the fact that Godane was free of the clan rivalries which dominate southern Somalia, putting him in an ideal position to unite young Somalis under the banner of a hard-line Islamic ideology.
"He became Emir [an Arabic word for leader] of al-Shabab, a title that conferred him great spiritual clout. He became in effect the chief ideologue, custodian and interpreter of the 'pure' Salafi jihadi doctrine," Mr Abdi said.
The BBC Somali service's Mohammed Mohammed says Godane is fluent in Somali and Arabic, and has a reputation of being a fine orator and poet.
"When he spoke, he used poetry. One of his favourite poets was Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, dubbed the 'Mad Mullah' in the West but a big hero for Somalis because he fought against British colonial rule," he says.
Ahmed Abdi Godane at a glance:
Godane's exact date of birth is not known, but some reports say he was born in 1977 and had a difficult childhood - he is said to have spent time at an orphanage and his uncle was reportedly an alcoholic.
Nevertheless, he was bright and won scholarships to study Islam in Sudan and Pakistan, where he was heavily influenced by jihadi ideology in the 1990s.
From there, he is suspected to have crossed the border to Afghanistan to receive military training from al-Qaeda.
Godane first gained notoriety in 2008, when he was sentenced to death in absentia for the simultaneous bombing of the United Nations (UN) compound and Ethiopian embassy in Somaliland's capital, Hargeisa.
"He had been arrested prior to that, but released. The authorities did not know how dangerous he was," Mr Mohammed says.
"He was very focused on Islamic issues, and was said to have a good relationship with the top leadership of al-Qaeda. He featured in video tapes with al-Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, and all finances were said to have come through him."
Godane led al-Shabab into a formal alliance with al-Qaeda in 2009, changing its focus from a purely local jihad to a regional one.
In 2010, it killed 78 people watching the football World Cup in Uganda's capital, Kampala - the first bombing by al-Shabab outside Somalia.
Last year, at least 67 people were killed when al-Shabab fighters took control of the upmarket Westgate shopping centre in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, for four days.
"I have been sent ahead of the hour with the sword so that Allah will be worshipped alone without partners," Godane said, in a video praising the Westgate attack.
Mr Abdi says Godane proved to be ruthless within al-Shabab as well, ordering his "Amniyat" assassination squad to kill his critics - including US jihadi Omar Hammami, known as al-Amriki, and his one-time mentor and friend Ibrahim al-Afghani.
Godane carried out the purge last year after the disgruntled al-Shabab members wrote to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, accusing him of being autocratic.
"[Godane] takes decisions in a secret fashion without legitimate known reasons," they wrote.
The purge helped him strengthen his grip over al-Shabab, but it meant that he had also created many enemies in jihadi ranks.
Some of them may have turned into spies for the US, opening the way for the air strike which targeted his convoy in the Lower Shabelle region on 1 September.
The US had put a $7m (£4m) bounty on his head in 2012, giving his enemies further incentive to collaborate with the US in efforts to hunt him down.
Somalia analyst Abdi Aynte said it was difficult to imagine al-Shabab remaining cohesive without his leadership.
"The death of Ahmed Godane could deal a major blow to al-Shabab and could be the beginning of the end," he said on his Twitter account.
"The irony is that Godane killed the would-be obvious successor, Ibrahim al-Afghani, in a major internal rift last year," he added. | Once regarded as a beacon of secularism in the Arab world, Tunisia has seen militant Islamists gain strength since the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in a popular uprising in 2011.

Hundreds of demonstrators angry at the high cost of hosting the Games protested and riot police used tar gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Images on news websites showed at least one policeman appearing to fire a projectile directly at a protester.
The Olympic torch arrived in Rio de Janeiro by boat after a three-month tour of Brazilian cities.
The mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, carried the torch on its first few laps through the city centre.
But images taken later showed crowds of people including many families with children who had come out to watch the torch relay running away in fear from the police action.
The police told local media that a group of people refused to leave one lane of the road open for the torch as had been agreed earlier and blocked the street in one place.
They said they had to intervene to contain the chaos and clear the road.
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Brazil says that this is exactly what Olympic organisers feared might happen after what has been a relatively peaceful and sometimes spectacular torch relay.
On Tuesday at least three protesters were arrested by the police in the town of Niteroi, across the bay from Rio during the torch relay there.
The police used pepper spray and part of the relay had to be abandoned.
Brazil is in the grip of a deep recession and political crisis, and further protests are expected ahead of the Olympic opening ceremony on Friday.

"It is with deep sadness I confirm that Cheick Tiote sadly passed away earlier today after collapsing in training," said spokesman Emanuele Palladino.
"We cannot say any more at the moment and we request that his family's privacy be respected at this difficult time. We ask for all your prayers."
Born in the Ivory Coast, Tiote was part of the Ivorian squad that won the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
He began his professional career in Belgium with Anderlecht in 2005 before moving to Dutch side FC Twente, where he made 86 appearances and won the Eredivisie league title in the 2009-10 season under manager Steve McClaren.
Tiote, a defensive midfielder, then signed for Newcastle in 2010 for £3.5m.
In February 2011, he scored a memorable goal as Newcastle United came back from 4-0 down to draw with Arsenal in the Premier League.
He joined Beijing Enterprises Group FC for an undisclosed fee in February 2017.
A statement from Newcastle said: "We are devastated to have learnt of the tragic passing of Cheick Tiote at the age of just 30.
"The thoughts of everyone at Newcastle United are with Cheick's family, friends, team-mates and everyone connected with the clubs he represented."
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez said: "It is with great sadness that I have this afternoon learned of Cheick's death.
"In all the time that I have known him, he was a true professional, dedicated and above all, a great man. Our hearts go out to his family and friends at such a sad time."
"Cheick was one of the best we had in terms of his attitude," Newcastle legend Peter Beardsley told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He had a wicked sense of humour, he was top class and he will certainly be missed in this city."
Beardsley, who is still on the staff at Newcastle, added: "He was flat out every day in training and was a brilliant example to the kids at our club. He loved a tackle - he wasn't horrible, but very aggressive. Every time he saw the ball he went for it.
"He was also really funny in the dressing room. He had a brilliant smile and he lit up a room when he smiled. He was fantastic.
On Tiote's goal against Arsenal, Beardsley added: "It was an unbelievable volley and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
"I can still see him running up the end of the pitch. He must have run 70 metres to celebrate with the fans."

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper posted: "Gutted to hear the awful news about my former teammate Cheick Tiote today. Thoughts with his friends and family."
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, who played with Tiote at Anderlecht, tweeted: "I am speechless and so incredibly sad. Cheick Tioté was one of the nicest and toughest teammates I have ever had. Rest in peace brother."
Former Newcastle and current Stoke City goalkeeper Shay Given said on Twitter: "Shocked & saddened to hear of the passing of Cheick Tioté, I pass on my condolences to his friends & family, way too young."
Papiss Cisse, who played with Tiote from 2012-2014 at Newcastle, tweeted: "Goodnight brother, You will be missed. My heart goes out to his family. Gone too soon."
Newcastle midfielder Siem de Jong said: "Terrible news, R.I.P. Tiote. Always enjoyed sitting next to you in the dressing room my friend."
Match of the day commentator Gary Lineker said on Twitter: "Dreadful news that Cheick Tiote has passed away. So young. So tragic."
We could be talking about Pep Guardiola, whose stunning achievements at Camp Nou earned him enormous respect and admiration.
But we're actually talking about Barca's current boss Luis Enrique, whose trophy haul has matched his predecessor and who shares many other similarities with Guardiola, with both men spending their best playing days with the club and starting their coaching careers with the B team.
There is, however, one notable difference: Enrique has not inspired anything like the same kind of adulation as Guardiola.
Whenever the subject of the game's greatest managers is discussed, the same names invariably crop up: Guardiola, Diego Simeone, Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho…but despite winning more trophies than anyone in recent years, Luis Enrique is hardly ever mentioned.
Why not? Ahead of his team's Clasico clash with Real Madrid on Saturday, BBC Sport examines the strange lack of appreciation shown towards one of the most successful managers in the world.
The easiest accusation against Enrique is that any half-decent coach would win with a team containing Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi.
But this can be rebutted by recalling the season before his arrival, 2013-14, when Barca won absolutely nothing under the hapless management of Argentine Tato Martino, who appeared determined to show that even the greatest players can fail if they are not well led.
In fairness to Martino, his brief spell - and Enrique's subsequent arrival in the summer of 2014 - coincided with the gradual demise of the team built by Guardiola.
Something had to change, and Enrique spent his first few months at the helm experimenting in pursuit of that elusive 'something', selecting 28 uniquely different starting line-ups in his first 28 games as he searched for the magical formula. Results, predictably, were patchy and criticism set in.
Finally, he found the tactical breakthrough: Messi was repositioned from 'false nine' to the right wing, with summer signing Suarez in the middle and Neymar on the left. Intricate build-up through midfield was sacrificed in favour of getting the ball to the danger-men as quickly as possible.
The new approach was premiered against Atletico Madrid in January 2015. Barca were brilliant, won 3-1, and Messi, Suarez and Neymar all scored in the same game for the very first time.
Five months later, they had won everything. And a year after that, they claimed the double. Enrique's initial tinkering had paid off, and Barca's status among the elite was regained.
Imagine you could pick from the combined squads of Barcelona and Real Madrid - tasty but testing. Who would you choose?
Despite all those trophies, doubts lingered - even among Barca fans, who spend hours debating whether their manager actually deserves any credit for his team's success.
Maybe the biggest charge against Enrique is that he was not responsible for instigating the new playing system. Albert Roge, a journalist for Barcelona-based newspaper Diario Sport, explains the widespread belief that Messi, not Enrique, was the brains behind the changes.
"In one of their first training sessions together, Messi saw that Luis Suarez is a spectacular striker and you can't put him on the wing," Roge told BBC Sport.
There are also complaints that the team have become overly reliant upon the scoring exploits of their superstar front three, with the rest of the team neglected, and that the new style of play is not particularly attractive to watch.
"Everything depends on the performance of the 'trident'," continues Roge. "The midfielders aren't protagonists anymore. And when things go badly, there are no solutions from the bench - no change of system, no introduction of players.
"I think Luis Enrique has little ability to change games. His only solution is putting a centre back like Gerard Pique up front. At Barca, that can't happen."
So he is criticised for supposedly allowing Messi to introduce a new playing system, criticised when that system is less pleasing on the eye than the one it replaced, criticised for depending heavily upon arguably the best forward line in history, criticised for not having any tactical solutions and criticised when he does try something different.
All those negatives can be countered. Even if Messi did devise the tactical set-up, does that really matter if it works - which it does - and keeps the club's most important player happy? And surely if Enrique employed a system which didn't get the most out of his superstar strikers, he would be accused of failing to maximise the qualities of his key assets.
But whatever Luis Enrique does, with some people it seems he just can't win.
A major reason for the lack of positive PR surrounding Luis Enrique is that he does absolutely nothing to court it.
When Barca fans chant his name (yes, plenty of supporters do like him) he stands impassively on the touchline, giving the impression he has not even heard them; when he was named the World Coach of the Year at January's Ballon d'Or ceremony, he did not even bother to turn up and receive his award, saying he was too busy.
Enrique appears to regard his job to be coaching a football team - and that's it. The rest, you get the strong impression, he sees as unnecessary peripheral nonsense which is not worth his time or effort.
That attitude is evident in his press conferences, which he clearly regards as irritants to be navigated as quickly and safely as possible. He never delivers juicy lines on the latest controversy, never gives anything away about his selection plans, and never attempts to hide his disdain for any questions he regards as inappropriate.
Diario Sport journalist Roge claims: "Luis Enrique regards the press as an enemy. If results are favourable, that's OK. But as soon as they're not, lots of journalists are excited about it because of his continual lack of respect in press conferences."
Now, perhaps, we are getting to the crux of Enrique's popularity problem: he doesn't 'play the game' of pandering to journalists and cheerleading in front of fans. Instead, he is dour and distant, appearing to regard such superficial chores as unnecessary.
His low-key Twitter account is revealing. The usual motivational messages of thanks and encouragement to players and fans are conspicuous by their absence, with Enrique largely ignoring football altogether and instead devoting many of his tweets to his other passion, cycling.
Intriguingly, those tweets show an altogether different side of his personality: when he is talking about cycling, he is warm, enthusiastic and good-humoured - a complete contrast from the sullen, snarky demeanour he adopts in press conferences.
If he could be as cheerful and open in his job as he is with his hobby, perhaps he would not be such a divisive figure.
Saturday's Clasico is crucial for Barca, who have fallen six points behind Real following a mediocre start to the season.
And Enrique, predictably, has found himself facing plenty of criticism, especially after last weekend's draw at Real Sociedad which he admitted was the team's worst performance during his time in charge.
The old familiar tactical complaints have come flooding back, along with irritation at the poor form of expensive summer signings Paco Alcacer and Andre Gomes, especially following Enrique's jettisoning of highly regarded home-grown youngsters Munir El-Haddadi, Sandro, Sergi Samper and Alex Grimaldo.
However this season pans out, it could well be Enrique's last. He has often publicly stated that he does not see himself tolerating the pressures of his job for many years and has been evasive about whether he intends to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the season - but then again, he is evasive about everything.
As things stand, although many Barca fans would regret his departure, a significant chunk would not be at all upset. Indeed, there's already plenty of speculation about the identity of his successor, with Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli a particularly favoured option.
Football fans and the media are fickle, of course, and a resounding Barca victory over their arch rivals this weekend would certainly relieve the pressure on Enrique for a while.
Emergency Services were called to reports of a powdered substance being thrown at a bus in Whitton Road, Hounslow, at 11:00 BST.
Police say two people on a moped discharged the fire extinguisher into the bus. No arrests have been made.
The driver is being treated at the scene. His injuries are not life-threatening or life-changing.
The peer died in December aged 87, soon after he was found unfit to stand trial over abuse claims, owing to dementia.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse was told Lord Janner abused children over a 33-year period, arranging for those "in whom he had a sexual interest" to be brought to the Houses of Parliament.
His family denies the allegations.
The inquiry, chaired by Dame Lowell Goddard, will be the biggest in British history. It is set to last for five years and has a budget of £17.9m for this financial year alone.
Lord Janner's case is one of 13 areas it will initially focus on.
Speaking at the first preliminary hearing, counsel to the inquiry Ben Emmerson QC said: "The allegations in summary are that Greville Janner exploited children and perpetrated a full range of sexual offences against them, including what would now be termed in English law as rape.
"In relation to a number of the complainants it is alleged that Janner abused his position as an MP by arranging for children in whom he had a sexual interest to be brought to the Houses of Parliament."
The offences are alleged to have taken place in children's homes and hotels between 1955 and 1988 - previously the oldest allegations to emerge against him dated back to the late 1960s.
Wednesday's preliminary hearing was told that 17 complainants in the Janner case had been given core participant status in the inquiry, meaning they have the right to make statements, see documents and seek permission to ask questions.
The inquiry has not received an application for core participant status from Lord Janner's family.
The hearing also heard submissions about the anonymity of some witnesses, and whether public hearings, due to begin in September, will be televised.
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders originally decided the peer should not be charged when the allegations emerged because he was suffering from dementia, but this was overturned by an independent review.
A trial of the facts was due to take place at the Old Bailey, but was dropped when Lord Janner died.
It would have heard evidence from alleged victims, but decided only whether the ex-MP committed the physical acts of abuse - and would not have made a finding of guilt or a conviction.
Referring to the Goddard inquiry as a whole, Mr Emmerson said: "The task is vast but critically important."
He continued: "Allegations of the involvement of politicians in child sexual abuse are reported on the one hand as evidence of a paedophile conspiracy... and on the other as evidence of a modern-day witch-hunt.
"It is the role of this inquiry to move from the realms of rumour and speculation, allegation and counter-allegation, to the assessment of objective facts."
He cited figures indicating that between April 2012 and March 2014 more than 50,000 children were identified as victims of sexual abuse, but said the true number may be as high as 450,000.
"These figures should answer the doubts of anyone who questions the need for this inquiry," the QC said.
As part of her wider inquiry, Dame Lowell, who served as a judge in her native New Zealand, will investigate the way in which public bodies handled child sex abuse claims.
The inquiry is unable to make findings of criminal or civil liability, but Mr Emmerson added: "No-one should be in any doubt that, where the evidence justifies it... the panel will make findings of fact on allegations of child sexual abuse."
He said it "will also need to recognise the damage that can be caused by false accusations of sexual abuse".
On Monday the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported blueprints setting out the building's cable layouts and security systems had been illegally accessed by a server in China.
Mr Carr did not comment directly on the claims.
But he said the government was "very alive" to cyber security threats.
"I won't comment on whether the Chinese have done what is being alleged or not," he said.
"I won't comment on matters of intelligence and security for the obvious reason: we don't want to share with the world and potential aggressors what we know about what they might be doing, and how they might be doing it."
But he said the ABC report had "no implications" for a strategic partnership. "We have enormous areas of co-operation with China," he said.
The claims were made in a report on Chinese cyber-espionage by ABC's Four Corners investigative programme on Monday night.
The programme alleged that blueprints to the new intelligence headquarters in Canberra - due to be finished last year but delayed - were stolen in a cyber attack on a contractor that was traced to a server in China.
The plans detailed communications cabling and server locations, floor plans and security systems, the programme alleged.
It quoted Professor Des Ball, an expert on cyber security from the Australian National University, as saying access to such details would enable an outside party to identify rooms used for sensitive activities and work out how to monitor them.
The programme also alleged that the Prime Minster's Office, the Defence Ministry and the Department of Foreign Affairs had been breached in hacking operations.
Four Corners did not identify the source of its information.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei rejected the claims, saying "groundless" accusations would not solve the problem of cyber hacking.
"Since it is technically untraceable, it is very difficult to find the source and identify the hacker,'' he said. "Therefore we have no idea what is the evidence for their report in which they make the claim with such certainty.''
Earlier this year, hackers from China - which is now Australia's biggest trading partner - were thought to be behind an attack on the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Australian Financial Review reported.
The issue of cyber espionage looks set to be high on the agenda when the US and Chinese presidents hold their first summit in California next month.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon for the first time directly accused the Chinese government and military of targeting US government computers as part of a cyber espionage campaign aimed at collecting intelligence on US diplomatic, economic and defence sectors.
China called the report "groundless", saying it represented "US distrust".
The festival will also include a world premiere of the score from Oscar-winning film There Will Be Blood by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood.
Greenwood will play alongside the London Contemporary Orchestra.
Sinead O'Connor will also perform for the Roundhouse Summer Sessions, running from 24 July to 24 August.
Another highlight will be an excerpt from the new Balletboyz production, Young Men, which will premiere at Sadler's Wells in January 2015.
They will also present their award-winning show Serpent/Fallen for the final time in London.
Greenwood's film score will be performed on 6 and 7 August. Greenwood's work as a film composer includes We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Master.
Heap will perform Sparks at the end of the Reverb Festival, the already established Roundhouse event that this year becomes part of the new Summer Sessions. She is also Reverb's 2014 curator.
It will include live performances from artists such as Tim Exile and Leafcutter John.
Other events taking place during Summer Sessions include circus extravaganza, Boom + Bang Cabaret, the Roundhouse's annual poetry slam final and a performance from the Penguin Cafe orchestra.
No clear plans have been put in its place but it is likely to be switched to either a land or property-based tax.
A report published by a cross-party commission at the end of last year concluded that the current system should end.
The Scottish government is expected to set out its plans for reform next week.
When the Commission on Local Income Tax made its conclusions in December, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said at the time: "This report sets out plenty of alternatives for the reform of local government finance but after eight years, people might have expected more from a government that said it was committed to reforming the council tax system."
The number of vehicles travelling at excess speed has fallen by 95% in the first two years of the system being in place, according to a new report.
The cameras were switched on in October 2014 in an effort to improve safety on the stretch of trunk road.
The A9 Safety Group, which oversees the system, has released the report.
The group, which was set up by Transport Scotland in 2012, said the cameras have had a "positive impact" on drivers' behaviour.
Robert Bentley said the policemen used "excessive force" on Sureshbhai Patel, 57, earlier this month.
The officer involved was charged with the assault but has pleaded not guilty.
Mr Patel, who had recently arrived in the US, has filed a legal case alleging race played a part in the incident.
He was walking outside his son's home in an Alabama suburb when police said they received a call from a neighbour about a suspicious person.
Footage from police cameras showed Mr Patel - who speaks no English - trying to walk away when the officers approached him. They detain him and eventually shove him to the ground.
Mr Patel suffered injuries, including partial paralysis in his leg. His lawyer said he was now in rehabilitation after leaving hospital on Monday.
Mr Bentley's office released a letter to Indian general consul Ajit Kumar a day after the two men met to discuss the case.
He expressed "sincere apology for this tragic incident to your government, Mr Patel, and the citizens of India who reside and work in our state".
"I deeply regret the unfortunate use of excessive force by the Madison Police Department... and for the injuries sustained by Mr Patel."
The governor said the state would investigate the incident along with the FBI. Police officials in Madison have apologised to Mr Patel and his family.
Sir Peter, who is best known for designing The Beatles' Sgt Pepper album cover, has redesigned the Britannia statuette, which will be given to the winners at the event in February.
He revealed that Brits organisers had rejected his first design.
"I did something and they said: 'Could you make it a bit more pop art?'" he told BBC News. "So it's pop arted up."
He said he had added "some symbols around the bottom that I've used constantly over the years - a star and a heart and half a rainbow and a target".
"So it looks very much like my work," he said. "It needed a signature and I think those symbols gave it the signature."
The 79-year-old artist is the second person to redesign the trophy, after fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood created her version for the 2011 ceremony.
According to Brits chairman David Joseph, the famous collage Sir Peter designed for the 1967 Beatles album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is "the world's most iconic album sleeve".
"Sir Peter's work is synonymous with the best of British music," he said, calling his design concept for the award "incredible".
Other album covers designed by Sir Peter include Paul Weller's Stanley Road and Oasis's Stop the Clocks.
Actor James Corden will once again host the ceremony, which will take place at London's O2 Arena on 21 February.
"I enjoyed presenting the show so much last year so being asked back for the third time is a real honour," the 33-year-old said.
Premiership Rugby has said "confidential agreements" were reached following "certain issues" with some clubs over last season's limit.
Ten clubs have now denied their involvement and none have been found guilty of "breaching" the salary cap.
The salary cap for this term is £5.5m, rising to £6.5m in 2016-17 and £7m the season afterwards.
Northampton, Gloucester, London Irish, Exeter, Wasps, Harlequins, Newcastle, Sale and Worcester have all previously stated they were not among the clubs involved.
Only Saracens, Leicester and last season's relegated club London Welsh have yet to comment on the issue.
Bath say their spending was £4.71m during the 2014-15 season.
The club confirmed they are committed to spending up to the cap to provide "the best squad possible", but stressed they have one of the smallest squads in the competition.
Coach Mike Ford had 36 players last season, which included 14 internationals.
And while insisting they stayed within the cap, and will do so again this season, Bath said in a statement that English clubs had been "significantly disadvantaged" by it, both domestically and in European competitions.
"The clubs representing England in Europe have been expected to compete with European clubs, who have a spend of up to 100% more on their squads," the statement continued.
"These same English clubs also lose international players for one third of the domestic season with no cap relief.
"This system was inherently unfair, open to challenge and was in need of fundamental change."
Bath believe the new salary cap settlement agreed last week is "a much fairer system for all clubs" and will allow them to better compete "on a fairer playing field" and help produce new, young talent.
Developer Pye Homes was granted planning permission by West Oxfordshire District Council for land north of Woodstock's Bladon roundabout.
Originally it wanted to build 1,200 homes, but was forced to scale back after criticism.
Woodstock town councillor Sharone Parnes said there was still "a lot of concern" about the development.
Last year 411 of 484 people who voted in a referendum on the plans - a 19% turnout - said they did not want them to go ahead.
Mr Parnes said: "There's a lot of concern about the road infrastructure and the traffic capacity and the amount of traffic that will inevitably result.
"We don't see how the roads are going to be adapted for that."
In a letter to the district council, the town council wrote that the "historic" open setting of Blenheim Palace should be preserved.
It said: "The setting [allows visitors] to gain a better understanding of an aspect of the social and cultural significance of aristocratic parks exemplified by Blenheim."
Daniel Hayman, spokesman for Pye Homes and the Blenheim Estate, said the housing was "much needed" and the scheme also included some business units.
"We strongly believe there is a need to deliver a range of new homes in Woodstock and this proposal will help to provide much needed new affordable homes in the area," he said.
The Dow Jones was up 218 points, or 1.3%, to 17,213.

Jackie Atkinson, who worked at Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, claimed her ex-boss called a transgender member of staff "it" and said he wanted her out.
Chris Morton, who has since retired, said during the tribunal in October that the decision to make her redundant was made on a business basis.
Miss Atkinson was told her claim had failed in a reserved decision.
She said she was "shocked" by the decision and intended to appeal.
Last year NHS Kernow, in Cornwall, was put under special measures because of a £14m deficit.
Health Initiative Cornwall said it was a "shame" that NHS England had "forced" the new turnaround director Keith Pringle on NHS Kernow.
NHS England said it was "encouraged to see the early progress being made".
Graham Webster, vice chair of Health Initiative Cornwall, said: "The governing body of NHS Kernow already has quite a number of senior executives and all these people are being paid huge amounts of money."
One of the conditions of the special measures imposed by NHS England was that NHS Kernow had to appoint a turnaround director.
NHS England said Mr Pringle's appointment was a "crucial element in strengthening" NHS Kernow's "capacity to recover its position while safeguarding standards of care".
NHS Kernow said in a statement: "The actual cost to be incurred will depend how long the legal direction requiring a turnaround director remains in force."
Mr Pringle, a former chief restructuring officer with Sherwood Forest NHS, declined to comment.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on 27 spacefarers found effects similar to those that can occur in intracranial hypertension, which results in a build up of pressure within the skull.
The concern would be that astronauts could suffer eyesight problems.
The study is reported in theJournal of Radiology.
It was led by Larry Kramer, a professor of diagnostic and interventional imaging at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
His team examined astronauts who had spent more than 30 days of cumulative time in the weightless environment of space.
The group found evidence for expansion of the cerebral spinal fluid space surrounding the optic nerve of nine of the astronauts, a flattening of the rear of the eyeball in six, a bulging of the optic nerve in four, and changes in the pituitary gland and its connection to the brain in three individuals. The pituitary gland secretes and stores hormones that regulate a variety of important body functions.
The health of astronauts is very carefully monitored. Living in weightless conditions for extended periods can result in a loss of bone density and in muscle wastage. There are also dangers associated with radiation coming from the Sun.
It is partly for these reasons that stays on the International Space Station (ISS) are restricted to six months. If missions to Mars were ever conducted, the period of travel to and from the planet would likely take over a year.
US space agency (Nasa) medical staff said they were looking into the latest concerns, but that the scale of abnormalities observed did not have them unduly worried at this stage.
William Tarver, the chief of flight medicine clinic at Nasa's Johnson Space Center, said the results were suspicious but not conclusive of intracranial hypertension.
"Nasa has placed this problem high on its list of human risks, has initiated a comprehensive programme to study its mechanisms and implications, and will continue to closely monitor the situation," he said.
Afghanistan veteran David Seath, 31, had a cardiac arrest three miles short of the finish, near the 23-mile mark, close to Southwark Bridge.
He received immediate medical attention and was taken to St Thomas' Hospital but died later.
Capt Seath's friends are planning to complete the marathon in his honour, starting at the place where he collapsed.
More on this and other news from London
"We will walk as one, the final three miles of the marathon, starting where he fell," wrote Capt James Walker-McClimens on a fundraising page set up following his death.
The page has so far raised more than £64,000 for Help for Heroes. Capt Seath's own page has raised almost £40,000.
Capt Walker-McClimens served with Capt Seath in the 19th Regiment The Royal Artillery The Highland Gunners in Tidworth.
They both went on tour to Afghanistan in 2012, returning at the same time.
"He was the greatest type of guy you could imagine - everyone loved him. He was funny, outgoing, generous - he was just not a bad guy in any way shape or form."
"In the Army we don't like unfinished business. It was something he wanted to do, he wanted to do the full marathon, so we are going to complete it for him," he said.
The exact cause of death is yet to be established.
Capt Seath's mother, Libby, said: "David has achieved more in 31 years than most people do in 70. He lived his life on the edge and to the full."
Capt Seath, from Cowdenbeath, Fife, commanded a specialist team while serving as a fire support team commander for 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, based in Plymouth.
He completed two master's degrees at the University of Aberdeen before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the elite officer training centre, in 2009.
Lieut Col Jon Cresswell, Commanding Officer of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, said the regiment was "devastated".
"Witty, charming and polished, Dave was a fabulous host and stylish performer."
He said Capt Seath had been selected to train future officers of the Afghan National Army in the rank of a major.
"We have lost one of the great characters of our regiment and take strength from the memory of his example and leadership."
Speaking earlier in the House of Commons, Defence Minister Philip Dunne used his opening remarks in response to an urgent question on ship building to pay tribute to the 31-year-old.
He said the thoughts of MPs were with the family and friends of Capt Seath "at this difficult time".
Shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry also offered condolences to the family on behalf of the Labour Party.
In 2012, 30-year-old Claire Squires died close to the finish line. A fundraising campaign set up following her death raised more than £1m for the Samaritans.
The building would store information and records related to the Dounreay experimental nuclear power plant on the north Caithness coast near Thurso.

The NDA has notified Highland Council of its proposal to site the archive near Wick Airport Industrial Estate.
The brownfield site had previously been occupied by the RAF. A planning application for the project has still to be submitted.
Highland Council's north planning applications committee has noted the NDA's plans.
They say Ms Szydlo was travelling in a government convoy when a private Fiat drove into her limousine, causing it to hit a tree in the town of Oswiecim.
The 53-year-old leader is in "good condition", but she is being flown to Warsaw for checks, officials say.
In November, Ms Szydlo's motorcade was involved in an accident in Israel. She was not injured.
Polish President Andrzej Duda and Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz have also been involved in recent car accidents, though without injury.
In Friday's crash, the limousine's driver and an officer from the Government Protection Office (BOR) were also injured.
A police investigation is now under way.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak called an urgent meeting with top BOR officials to discuss the situation.
The 21-year-old has been with the Blues for a year, having previously had spells with Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rover Belles.
The England Under-23 international comes in to replace Siobhan Chamberlain, who has joined Arsenal.
"I'm really excited to be here," Earps told BBC Sport.
"I'm looking for game time and after speaking to the manager [Dave Edmondson] and training here, the vibe was really positive. I'm excited to come down and fit into that."
Earps, who is also a business student at Loughborough University, has been capped through the England age groups and was recently named in Mark Sampson's senior squad for the World Cup qualifier against Montenegro on 5 April.
She is set to deputise for Chamberlain, who is currently England's first-choice keeper.
"There's some brilliant players in the squad with a lot of experience," added Earps.
"I hope to be like a sponge and absorb as much as I can from the players, coaches and the environment. I want to bring that back to my club and put it into my performances."
Mr Baird, who has served multiple positions in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet, is also not expected to run for re-election as an MP.
"I will miss this place very much," Mr Baird said in a speech to Parliament. "The time has come to start a new chapter in my life."
The announcement comes as Egyptian-Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy is expected to be released from prison.
Mr Baird , who has worked to free Mr Fahmy, said on Monday the Al Jazeera journalist's release was "imminent".
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in statement Mr Baird was "one of the finest ministers that I have had the privilege of working with".
"John has always been willing to do a lot of heavy lifting in my various cabinets and has assumed daunting new responsibilities with unsurpassed energy, commitment and professionalism, never losing sight of the fact that he was serving the Canadian people."
An unnamed Canadian official told the Associated Press news agency the foreign minister had simply decided it was the right time to resign.
"The minister is looking to turn the page on 20 years of public service, and like anyone in public office is looking for new opportunities at the young age of 45," the official said.
International Trade Minister Ed Fast will replace him as foreign minister, CBC news reported.
Mr Baird, who was originally elected to Parliament as an MP from the Ottawa area in 2006, previously served as transport minister, environmental minister and president of the treasury board.
He began his political career in provincial politics in Ontario and is known as one of Mr Harper's most trusted ministers.
He had little international experience before becoming foreign minister in 2011.
On Tuesday Mr Baird called Mr Harper a friend and a mentor and said he will help the prime minister in the next election.
Former Liberal opposition leader Bob Rae wrote in a tweet he admired the foreign minister's energy and willingness to listen and engage.
"John Baird is bombastic, mean spirited, vicious, eloquent, generous, smart, cantankerous, hardworking, ingratiating, effective, human," Mr Rae tweeted.
The 24-year-old has had an impressive season and has been shortlisted for the Professional Footballers' Association young player of the year award.
He made his England debut on 22 March in the 1-0 defeat by Germany.
"He is focused on the job at hand in delivering performances for the club," said Dyche.
The Clarets manager said he heard rumours that Keane was leaving the club on television, adding it was "news to me".
"The reality is nothing's changed," he said.
"We have had no contact from any clubs. We are a different animal from what we were a few years ago. We are in a very strong business situation and there is no consideration of our players leaving."
Everton, Tottenham and Liverpool are all reportedly interested in signing the centre-back, who began his career with Manchester United.
After loan spells with Leicester, Derby, Blackburn and Burnley he moved permanently to Turf Moor in January 2015, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal.
The crisis across the region grows by the day.
As if all that were not enough, Yemen is now effectively in the hands of a rebel group that has removed the country's government, prompting a bombing campaign led by its bigger and more powerful neighbour, Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the Saudis, when not bombing Yemen or looking anxiously at the growing influence of Iran across the region, nervously eye their own population for signs of the same popular unrest that a few years ago set in motion the series of upheavals somewhat optimistically called the Arab Spring.
Increasingly, commentators see much of what is happening in the Middle East through the prism of a straight fight between Saudi Arabia and Iran for regional dominance.
This so-called proxy war is conveyed in different ways.
Some see it as a sectarian conflict between the Saudis, who are Sunni Muslims, and Iran, a Shia Muslim country.
Others use a different analogy, that of the Cold War, in which two power blocs fight for influence across a swathe of territory, on the guiding principle of backing your enemy's enemy, with every decision informed by the desire to ensure that your opponent does not get the upper hand in the fight for spheres of influence.
In that narrative, Saudi Arabia crushes the Shia protest movement against the Sunni monarchy in Bahrain so that the country does not fall under Iranian influence.
Similarly, Iran backs Bashar Assad's regime to keep Syria as an important ally in the region and stop it falling into the hands of Sunni groups.
Other commentators take the war analogy one step further and claim the Middle East is engaged in a "hot war" between Saudi Arabia and Iran, played out in the continuing military conflicts in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
All these interpretations disguise other currents and alliances that are gradually emerging - not all predictable and some rather surprising.
So while the Saudis and Iranians fight each other through proxies, they make common cause to destroy IS.
Similarly, in the battle to destroy IS, the US and Iran - long-standing enemies in the Middle East - share a common goal.
Officially, they do not co-operate - that is denied strongly - but there are reports of information sharing through channels.
This causes much consternation to Saudi Arabia, the main US ally in the Arab world, which is not at all happy that Iran's power and influence is growing.
So how big is Iran's influence across the region?
Iran is an important and significant force in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. In Syria, Iran is providing crucial and significant support to the Assad government.
In Iraq, Iran plays a key role, which includes backing the Shia militias there.
In Lebanon, Iran's writ runs through Hezbollah.
And then there is Iran's continuing support for Hamas, the dominant movement in Gaza.
But Iran is not alone in throwing its weight around and busying itself with strengthening alliances in the region. Saudi Arabia is staking its own claim.
The Saudi-Egyptian relationship is close. Egypt is a major beneficiary of Saudi aid.
Egypt has been important in helping to organise a new regional military force after what happened in Yemen.
This new force is arguably aimed at countering Iranian influence as well as fighting Islamist extremism.
Elsewhere, the retaking of the Syrian town of Idlib in recent days by rebel forces is the first setback in some months for the Assad regime.
And anything that is bad for Assad's prospects is welcome news to Saudi Arabia.
There have been unverified and indeed unverifiable claims - nothing more - of Saudi support for some rebel groups, as well as speculation that the Saudis are working much more closely with Turkey in protection of mutual interests in the region.
But it is fair to say that the Saudis are no longer averse to finding new ways of asserting themselves across the entire region.
There is a belief among some analysts and commentators that, in the shifting landscape of the Middle East, there is a desire for more autonomy among Sunni Arab states, and a gradual loosening of ties with their traditional ally, the US.
The unfolding conflict in Yemen provides another insight into the calculations and rivalries fuelling the instability in the region.
Even here, things are not as straightforward as they might appear. Yemen, which has a Sunni majority, is unstable and dangerous.
The country has been the base for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, one of the most dangerous of the al-Qaeda affiliates.
The rebel Houthis, now attracting worldwide attention, are indigenous to Yemen and are a hardy fighting force.
They know the terrain and in the past decade or so have fought several small-scale battles across the country.
Again, some analysts see Yemen as the victim of a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The narrative works like this.
The Houthis follow a form of Shia Islam (so are on "the same side" as the Iranians) and are guilty of displacing the Saudi-backed Sunni government of Yemen, something unpalatable to the Saudis, thereby leading them to undertake military action.
The proponents of the proxy-war scenario say that neither side can back down over Yemen, so how does it end? Is it open-ended?
The Saudi foreign minister spoke of a Yemen "returned to security, stability and unity" but with no detail on how long that might take.
The Iranians have denied military involvement in Yemen but Iran admits backing the Houthis financially.
It is hard to know the truth. However, some analysts agree that the Iranians provide money but do not control the Houthi rebels in the same way as their other proxies, such as Hezbollah.
The countries taking part in the bombing of Yemen is an instructive list.
The Arab coalition is a feat in itself, given the dismal record of Arab nations in the past when it comes to co-operating with each other.
It includes:
The development of this sizeable grouping runs the danger, according to some who watch the region, that the bombing will slowly but surely turn a civil conflict into a larger Sunni-Shia war with Iran.
Any account of the current crisis in the Middle East has to mention Iraq.
The conflict there has sometimes slipped under the radar for periods, until the IS announced itself by routing Iraqi Government forces and taking Iraq's second biggest city, Mosul.
As a result, in today's Iraq, the US finds itself fighting IS alongside Iran.
US officials deny co-operating with Iran as such.
Yet the recent US bombing of Tikrit underlines some of the alliances of convenience and the uncertain consequences.
The strategically important Tikrit - Saddam Hussein's home town - is in the heart of Sunni territory in central Iraq.
It is the gateway to the bigger city of Mosul and the eventual military goal of retaking it from IS.
But the US runs the danger of being seen to side with Shia militias - who make up the bulk of the military forces battling IS - over Iraq's Sunni population.
These very same Shia fighters face accusations of a terrible human rights record and a propensity to sectarian bloodshed.
The other danger for the US is that the Shia militia will capture too much of Iraq's territory in the fight against IS, further alienating Iraq's Sunnis.
And according to some analysts the US-led campaign in Iraq is effectively bolstering the Assad regime in Syria by weakening its most dangerous enemy, IS.
That would be the very Syrian regime that the US has spent so long trying to dislodge.
It is fair to say that the Middle East is never far from the minds of political leaders the world over.
But there are, as ever, other pressing distractions.
President Obama is coming to the end of his second term and has been focused on the Iranian nuclear question.
Britain is in the middle of one of the most closely fought election campaigns in living memory.
And the big European powers are worrying about Vladimir Putin's Russia.
A news story in the Guardian newspaper in recent days conveyed the drip-drip effect of years of conflict and how remarkable stories eventually become commonplace.
The story was about the collapse of the education system in Syria, with at least a quarter of schools damaged or destroyed, with enrolment rates at 50%, down from the pre-war levels in which nearly all Syrian children went to school.
The information came from a report from the Save The Children charity.
In normal circumstances such a story might be expected to provoke widespread comment and all kinds of questions. But terrible stories emerge almost daily from Syria and this one just ended up as one more tale to add to the growing list of human tragedies across the region.
County's bold second-half assault looked in vain when Ryan Harley put 10-man Exeter 2-0 up in the 89th minute.
Yet defender Richard Duffy nodded a goal back in stoppage time and a shot by Jorge Grant deflected in off skipper Jordan Moore-Taylor barely a minute later.
Earlier, midfield goal machine David Wheeler edged the visitors into a 33rd-minute lead.
Notts boss Kevin Nolan rolled back the years by pushing 36-year-old Alan Smith back up front to partner Jon Stead, but the former England international's main contribution was to pick up a booking before being replaced by Shola Ameobi.
Former Newcastle hitman Ameobi immediately tested goalkeeper Christy Pym with a close-range header before squandering a golden chance by missing his header in the 81st minute.
City's Jake Taylor was sent off in the 85th minute and Duffy rattled the bar before the incredible finish.

Developer Unite Students bought the site at Greetham Street from Portsmouth City Council and will be submitting plans for studio and shared flats.
The university provides about 2,800 purpose-built student homes and had 18,300 undergraduates in 2013.
Unite Students said the plans would relieve pressure on private housing.
The firm already provides half of the university's purpose-built student homes across three properties.
University of Portsmouth spokeswoman Anne Stanford said: "Unite have been keeping us updated about their proposals to submit a planning application for this significant new development of student accommodation in the heart of the city.
"We look forward to seeing the final designs and will continue to remain in dialogue with Unite as the application progresses."
The 20-year-old debuted at right-back in the Rams' draw with Birmingham City on Saturday, having also been used as a centre-back with Liverpool.
For the England Under-21 international, his switch from Anfield is about more than regular first-team football.
I've come to Derby to gain experience, match time and fitness and, of course, to help Derby push for promotion
"Versatility can be another strong attribute to help my career," Wisdom told BBC Radio Derby.
"To gain experience, playing more than one position is good for me.
"I played most of my youth career at centre-back, so obviously that is where I feel most comfortable.
"But I've played right-back, centre-back, left-back and even holding midfield in the past. At a young age, I just want to play football."
Wisdom, who scored on his Liverpool debut in the Europa League last season and went on to make 22 appearances for the Reds before moving to Pride Park, said his introduction to the Championship was an enlightening experience on the demands of the second tier.
"I can see that it is physically demanding, it's a different type of football and I'm coming up against different types of players," Wisdom said.
"But the main thing remains the same, no matter the level, and that is the want to win. Derby have that great mentality to work.
"I've come to Derby to gain experience, match time and fitness and, of course, to help Derby push for promotion. I see the players they have got here are of great quality and that they can achieve it.
"That performance against Birmingham shows it even if the result doesn't highlight it."
It was 16 January 1967 when a farm worker discovered two suitcases dumped in a field in Tattingstone, near Ipswich.
Inside was 17-year-old Bernard Oliver's body, neatly carved into eight pieces.
The crime made national headlines and remains one of the most brutal ever investigated by Suffolk police.
It is also notorious for the appeal made by detectives.
With no idea who the remains belonged to, police took the remarkable decision to release a photograph to the press of the teenager's severed head.
The tactic worked as his family came forward after seeing the images published.
But despite a major investigation spanning decades, no-one was ever brought to justice.
Mr Oliver, 57, the youngest of six children raised in Muswell Hill, north London, said: "There are times, even now, when I can't believe what happened.
"I think we could have accepted it in a different way if Bernard had been shot or killed in a fight.
"But the way his body was dissected, in such a clinical way, was spine chilling. And then to see his head in a newspaper - it's hard to come to terms with.
"I can't bury it. I don't think I ever go a week without thinking about Bernard."
Mr Oliver, who shared a bedroom with Bernard, has never spoken publicly about the murder but has vivid memories of the time.
"When his body was found I was just hollow," said Mr Oliver.
"I just kept asking myself: 'why?' What was the motive? Why Tattingstone? Suffolk felt a million miles away in those days."
Post-mortem tests showed Bernard died from strangulation before being cut up. He was also sexually assaulted.
David Kindred, 65, local press photographer:
I remember covering the story when police found the body. They had no idea who it was so they came up with this idea to release the photograph of the head.
It was the funeral directors who, shall we say, dressed the head. They brushed the hair and put a scarf around the neck, trying to make it look reasonably tidy.
The police photographer had the job of taking the picture they issued to the press. If it's possible to do something like that discreetly, it was done as discreetly as it could be.
To all intents and purposes it looked like a normal photograph. It wasn't presented to the readers as being Mr Oliver's head. It just said 'Do you know this man?'
I don't remember the newspaper getting any complaints. If it was done today the world would go mad. I don't think it has been done before or since.
Bernard, who had learning disabilities, had talked about leaving home.
He spent the "odd night" at friends' houses but had never gone missing.
"I idolised him in many ways," said Mr Oliver.
"He could be humorous but normally kept himself to himself."
Bernard was last seen on 6 January 1967 in Muswell Hill.
Ten days later he was found dead - and the story behind the murder started to emerge.
"My parents didn't go into graphic detail but I was picking up the facts," said Mr Oliver, who moved to Costa Brava, in Spain, in 1999.
Mr Oliver, who was 13 at the time, said his family had dealt with tragedy in different ways.
"Some wouldn't talk about it - they would walk out of the room if it was mentioned," he said.
"Others were just so annoyed. I think it changed all of us in different ways."
His parents, George and Sheila, both died during the 1980s aged in their late 70s. His father worked for a printing firm.
Mr Oliver, a concrete technician, hopes coming forward to talk about the case will help his quest for answers.
"It was terrible for my parents to go to their graves without knowing what happened to Bernard," he said.
"I still believe somebody who knows what happened to Bernard is still alive. I've never given up hope."
Two doctors - both now dead - were prime suspects.
One left a suicide note that included an apology to police for past crimes, but made no mention of Bernard's murder.
The investigation was reopened in 1977 but little progress was made.
Mr Oliver believes "without a shadow of doubt" that the crime would be solved if it happened now with today's forensic advances.
But the father-of-two said detectives had always been hindered by the fact a murder scene was never found.
Suffolk police said the case remained open and any new leads would be investigated.
This was despite it being known that three-fifths of children in care had some sort of mental health problem, the Commons education committee heard.
MPs were told more needed to be done to ensure these children's needs were understood and met.
The government is investing £1.4bn by 2020 on children's mental health.
Chief executive of Young Minds Sarah Brennan told the committee that many children were falling through the gaps in the system.
She said: "We have young people presenting to child adolescent and mental health services (CAMHS) who are then turned away because they do not fit the criteria of having a diagnosed mental health problem.
"And these are the young people who have the highest likelihood of having long-term mental health problems."
She said mental health staff and care professionals needed to understand the "common experience of trauma" that many children in care would have had.
Kevin Williams, of the Fostering Network, described how children moved from one placement to another would be having to find their feet in a new school and adapt to the new foster placement, on top of having to find new sources of mental health support in the new location.
And that could mean going to the bottom of a long waiting list, he said.
That experience, in itself, could exacerbate any original trauma that the child had been through.
David Graham of the Care Leavers' Association said where there had been a lack of stability in a child's life, it could have a real effect on "who they are as a person and how they are with other people".
"All the engagement we have with CAMHS is about the level of need, and the needs need to be very high indeed for help. This misses out this whole swathe of issues about wellbeing," he said.
Dr Matt Woolgar, of the National Adoption and Fostering Service said, in written evidence to the committee, that mental health teams would often wait until the child's placement was stable before assessing or treating them.
"We have found some will defer seeing a case on the expectation that the child will likely soon move on," he said.
The committee also heard how schools were struggling to meet the mental health needs of their pupils, especially those in care.
Carol Jones, of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "No one school can meet within its budget the resources needed to respond to the level of need that we are seeing in children in care.
"It's like asking schools to run their own ambulance services
"Most schools now find it is very difficult to get access into CAMHS because there simply aren't the resources."
Minister for Mental Health Alistair Burt said: "Young people's mental health is a priority for me.
"We are investing £1.4bn over this Parliament - that's one of the largest investments the sector has ever seen.
"We are getting every area of the country to plan how it will radically improve its youth mental health services and have launched the largest ever national campaign aimed at young people and their parents to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health."
Syrian state TV said two hospitals and a school were largely destroyed by the blast near the city sports stadium.
The Free Syrian Army said it carried out the attack because the facilities were being used by government troops. Earlier, a strike killed at least five people, witnesses said.
It comes as the new UN-Arab League envoy begins a mission to the region.
Lakhdar Brahimi, who last month replaced Kofi Annan as special envoy to Syria, will hold talks with Arab League and Egyptian officials ahead of meetings in Damascus.
When he took over the post, Mr Brahimi said bringing peace to Syria would be "nearly impossible".
As violence continued, activists said more than 100 people were killed across Syria on Sunday.
In Aleppo, where government troops are trying to flush out rebels, state TV showed damaged buildings and rescue workers pulling survivors from the rubble after the car bomb went off.
Reuters news agency quoted an activist, Ahmad Saeed, as saying the army had previously taken over the neighbourhood and turned the hospital into a barracks.
The attack came shortly after warplanes dropped bombs on rebel targets in the east of the city, with reports of at least five people killed.
Reports from Syria are almost impossible to verify because of severe restrictions on foreign journalists in the country.
The UN says more than 18,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in March 2011. Activists put the death toll at 23,000.
Mr Brahimi's visit comes amid an impasse in efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the fighting.
On Sunday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dismissed a Russian proposal for a new UN Security Council resolution on Syria as pointless "with no teeth".
Russia says it wants Security Council approval for a peace plan agreed in June in Geneva that called for a ceasefire and political transition.
But Mrs Clinton said a resolution without consequences would be ignored by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The last time they achieved that feat three years ago, they encountered the Astana Arena along the way.
While they lost that particular battle against sheep sacrificers Shakhtar Karagandy, they won the war, recovering from a 2-0 first-leg defeat to progress 3-2 on aggregate at the play-off stage.
That was arguably the last truly stirring European performance by a Celtic side, with their inspiration partly drawn from the wild Shakhtar celebrations after the first leg.
To illustrate the growing size of the task facing Brendan Rodgers and his players if they are to return to Europe's top table, they have returned to this mid-Asian outpost a round earlier and will face a superior team to the one who beat them on their last visit.
Former Bulgaria coach Stanimir Stoilov guided his FC Astana side to the fabled group stage last season and while they didn't register a win in a section containing eventual runners-up Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Galatasaray, they drew four of their six games and were unbeaten at home.
Kazakhstan international Mark Gurman played for Astana during the first half of the season. He was also part of the Kairat Almaty side that knocked Aberdeen out of Europe last season, playing both legs of their Europa League tie at left back.
"I think after this week's match we will know who is going to go through; Celtic should expect a hard game," Gurman told BBC Scotland.
"It'll be difficult because of the distance between the countries and the synthetic pitch. The European teams normally play on grass, so this is going to be a problem.
"Astana's best player is [Colombian midfielder] Roger Canas, he played in Shakhtar's team against Celtic three years ago and [Macedonia midfielder] Agim Ibraimi has began to adapt to our championship.
"They've lost the captain (forward Tanat Nusserbayev, who is injured), he's a big loss, but they also now have two good strikers - [Congolese] Junior Kabananga and [Serb] Dorde Despotovic - so the coach can change easily.
"Also, I don't know if Celtic have the big names in their team that they had when they played Shakhtar. Astana can definitely win this game."
Gurman agrees with the consensus that Astana will represent a tougher hurdle to overcome than the Karagandy team Neil Lennon's side scraped past.
"It is my opinion that they are better than Shakhtar were three years ago, he added.
"They are quite defensive, they don't want to concede goals, there's big discipline with this team.
"Everyone knows where they must play, everyone knows what they must do. They work like a team.
"I don't think they'll rush to score two or three goals against Celtic; the most important thing for them will be to not concede."
The club Celtic will face were only formed in 2009 but have won the last two Kazakhstan Premier League titles and are well placed to make it a hat-trick - leading by seven points, with a game in hand, 21 games into their season.
They have also had the support of the aforementioned Shakhtar, who agreed to postpone their weekend fixture against the champions to aid their bid to return to the group stage, having become the first Kazakhstani side to reach it last year.
Gurman thinks their unknown quality went a long way last season and believes it will be difficult to replicate that success.
"This season will be hard for them because in my opinion last season nobody thought about Astana. Other teams who played against them thought it would be an easy game," he added.
"This season it will be another story. I think all the teams - including Celtic - will prepare very well for this game.
"Everybody knows the strengths of Astana now."
At the close of trading Tesla had a market value of $49bn (£38bn), compared with Ford's value of $46bn.
Tesla's shares rose on Monday after the company announced record vehicle deliveries in the first three months of the year.
The firm delivered more than 25,000 cars in the first quarter, up 70% on the same quarter last year.
While Tesla's sales are growing fast they are still a fraction of Ford's, which sold almost 6.7 million vehicles in 2016.
Tesla delivered 76,000 electric cars last year.
However, investors are excited about the growth potential of Tesla.
This year it plans to start selling a cheaper car in the US, the Model 3, which it hopes will have mass market appeal.
"Five years ago no one knew what a Tesla was. Now people want a Tesla. It has usurped BMW as an aspirational car," said Ben Kallo, energy technology analyst at Robert W Baird.
Mr Kallo said that the charisma, or what he described as the "magic dust" surrounding Tesla founder and chief executive Elon Musk, allows it to attract talented staff as well as investors.
"Tesla has more going on in those four walls than we know about," he said.

Elon Musk: Who dares wins
Tesla reports record car deliveries
Meanwhile, Tesla has made a huge investment in battery production, building a $5bn factory in Nevada that when fully developed will be the biggest building in the world.
Mr Musk, hopes that by operating at that kind of scale his company can innovate faster and cut the cost of batteries by 30%.
As well as supplying batteries for cars, the plant makes batteries for homes and businesses.
In what was seen as a vote on confidence in the firm, last month China's Tencent spent $1.78bn on buying a 5% stake in Tesla.
The former Manchester United captain is said to have confronted Fateh Kerar, 44, in Altrincham in January.
Mr Keane did not attend a brief hearing at Trafford Magistrates' Court but a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf to a public order offence.
The 43-year-old Republic of Ireland assistant manager, from Hale, Cheshire, is accused of causing harassment, alarm or distress to Mr Kerar.
The court heard the prosecution intends to call two witnesses - understood to be Mr Kerar and a taxi passenger - while the defence plans to call Mr Keane and an additional witness.
Police were called to Ashley Road on 30 January to a report a man had "behaved aggressively towards another man".
Mr Kerar, from Altrincham, claims an altercation took place after he and his passenger noticed Mr Keane in his Range Rover.
The case will be heard at Manchester Magistrates Court on 19 June.
Mr Keane has previously managed Sunderland and Ipswich and left the role of assistant manager at Aston Villa in November.
During his playing career the midfielder also had spells at Nottingham Forest and Celtic and captained the Republic of Ireland national team. | Former Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote has died aged 30 after collapsing during training in China.

They say they want the courts to help establish what happened to the plane.
Families of 32 other passengers, mostly Chinese, filed a separate lawsuit in Malaysia, their lawyer has said.
MH370 disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
Under international agreements, relatives have two years following an air accident to begin legal action.
MH370: What we know
Missing Malaysian's wife seeks $7.6m in damages
Zhang Qihuai, the lawyer for the 12 families, said they were seeking a range of damages, but their goal was to determine the cause of the accident and those who were responsible.
The total compensation requested from Malaysia Airlines, Boeing, engine manufacturer Rolls Royce and insurance companies ranged between 10m and 70m yuan ($1.5m to $10.8m; £1m to £7.6m) per family, Mr Qihuai was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.
Verdicts might not come for two years, he said.
The companies have not commented.
Many relatives were crying as they presented their documents to court officials. Some said they hoped to use the action to obtain more information about the case.
"Today we came to demand our people back. We come every day. We demand to have our people back everyday, we want our relatives," Dai Shuqin, whose sister was on board the flight, told the Reuters news agency.
In Kuala Lumpur, lawyer Ganesan Nethi said he filed a joint lawsuit on behalf of the relatives of 32 passengers last Thursday. He said most were Chinese, along with one American and a few Indians, AP reported.
The lawsuit named the airline, the Malaysian government and its air force and civil aviation department, he said.
It was not immediately clear how many lawsuits have been filed in total or how many cases have been settled in relation to MH370.
Ships in the Indian Ocean are still searching for the missing Boeing 777, in an operation that is estimated to have cost more than $130m (£92m).
Meanwhile, Mozambican civil aviation officials handed over suspected debris from the missing flight to Malaysian experts.
If confirmed, the object found by an American amateur investigator would be the second piece of known debris from the aircraft to be found.
Last year authorities found a piece of the plane's wing on the shore of Reunion island in the Indian Ocean.
The debris could provide fresh clues to the mystery of the flight. Based on satellite communications data, MH370 is thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean.
"Currently, we are awaiting verification of two more pieces of debris which were discovered recently in Mozambique and Reunion Island respectively," Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said in a statement.
An interim report will be released by the investigation team on Tuesday marking the two-year anniversary of the disappearance, he said.
These meters require tokens to be bought or a card loaded with funds before gas and electricity is used in the property.
Energy regulator Ofgem found that 40% of suppliers charged for installation of meters and 5% charged for removal, while the others did so free of charge.
It wants these charges to be abolished by the autumn.
"Ofgem is concerned that charges and costs for using a pre-payment meter fall on those least able to afford them," said Philip Cullum, of Ofgem.
"That is why we want to remove barriers, deliver greater protections and offer more choice for pre-payment customers to ensure they are able to find the best possible deals."
It found charges could reach £180 for installation and £160 for removal.
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: "Pre-pay energy consumers pay more for a second-rate service. Too many pre-pay customers can also feel locked out of the best deals by unfair charges."
Last month, figures obtained by BBC Radio 5 live revealed that more than 500,000 pre-payment energy meters had been forcibly installed in people's homes over the last six years.
Energy suppliers can gain a court order to install a pre-pay meter when customers run up debt. Ofgem said it would investigate after the figures - for England, Scotland and Wales - were released.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is expected to publish the initial findings of its investigation into the energy market soon.
Objecting to the conservative religious group's planning application, some people in Mobberley, Cheshire, said the Exclusive Brethren are too "insular".
Concerns over traffic and the impact on the greenbelt have also been raised.
The Brethren said they "contribute to local communities in friendliness and with enthusiasm".
The group, also known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, had an estimated 20,000 members in the UK in 2011.
Followers adhere to a set of strict rules based upon their interpretation of the Bible.
In avoiding anything they perceive to be sinful, members cannot watch television, listen to the radio, or go to the cinema.
The Brethren said they have outgrown their current regional headquarters in Hale, Greater Manchester.
A number of Mobberley residents have written to Cheshire East Council's planning department arguing that the group's members "are discouraged from contact with those not belonging to the Brethren".
They fear followers "are likely to have little or no involvement or integration with the local community".
The organisation has a "practice of separation" meaning "social fellowship" only takes place within the group.
The Brethren insist this rule "does not preclude interaction in the broader community".
In a statement given to the BBC, they said: "Interaction is extensive both in the workplace, towns we live and in our charitable work.
"Members live in ordinary residential areas and interact with society in a normal way."
The Brethren's proposed meeting hall, on the site of Mobberley Riding School, would have a capacity of at least 500, according to documents submitted to the council.
Neighbour Sarah Irlam said: "It's a very modern-looking building, it's totally unacceptable for the greenbelt area.
"The infrastructure is just not there for this kind of building, the traffic it will incur to the village is just going to be crazy."
The group said most meetings would not see the building used to its full capacity, meaning the amount of traffic generated will be "similar" to current levels.
The lawsuit alleged that Tesco's overstatement of its profits guidance, revealed last year, breached certain US securities laws.
The cash settlement was disclosed on Wednesday in the US District Court in Manhattan and requires court approval.
Tesco, the UK's largest supermarket group, has not admitted any liability.
The retailer said in September 2014 it had overstated its profit guidance for the first half of the year by £250m after incorrectly booking payments from suppliers.
The announcement sent Tesco's New York-listed shares down by 15% the following day. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) account for about 2% of Tesco shares.
Tesco later raised the estimated overstatement of profits to £263m.
The incident led to an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and other regulators.
The legal action claimed that Tesco had misled investors about its financial health.
Kim Miller, a partner at Kahn Swick & Foti, called the settlement an "outstanding recovery".
The average recovery will be 37 cents per ADR before fees and expenses of about 30%, court papers showed.
Tesco shares, which are down almost 10% this year, rose 1.5% to 171.1p in morning trading on Thursday.
Analysts at Shore Capital maintained their "hold" recommendation on the stock.
"We believe that chief executive Dave Lewis and his team deserve considerable credit for the way in which they have stabilised an organisation in a state of chaos - the settlement of class actions in the USA merely serving to remind us of the challenges that management have faced over the last year," they said in a note.
The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage route to the shrine of the apostle St. James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
But now you can take a pilgrimage along the "medieval paths" of Ireland without first getting on a plane.
Just don't expect the same kind of weather - and you might be advised to bring a brolly.
All five of the paths are fully marked and people walk them by themselves regularly.
But this is the first time the walks will have been done as a guided trail.
The 124km journey, which begins in County Cork, will take place throughout Irish Heritage Week, 19 - 26 August, covering five ancient routes.
Those trekking along Ireland's "Pilgrims Paths" can get their pilgrim passport stamped every time a path is completed.
If all five are stamped, they get a Teastas Oilithreachta (pilgrim certificate) from Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo.
The paths:
John O'Dwyer, chairman of Pilgrim Paths Ireland, the group organising the walks, told the BBC that the trails have been around for a long time.
"Many people wouldn't have known about them, but the popularity of the Camino de Santiago has helped raise awareness," said Mr O'Dwyer.
"In fact, lots of Irish people were going to Spain to the Camino, unaware there will pilgrim paths on their own doorstep," he added.
Pilgrim Paths Ireland is a group of volunteers who aim to "promote awareness and use" of the historic pilgrim routes.
Mr O'Dwyer said anyone can do the paths: "You can trot along them yourself or be part of a group.
"We don't have a linear path like the Camino but instead have taken five of the foremost paths and put them together.
"Apart from one, each path can be done in a day. People can go down to Cork, get their passport stamped, then go up the country to get the next stamp and so on.
"Some people would prefer to do it as a group as you get local guides who have knowledge and can give you information about the area."
Mr O'Dwyer, from Tipperary, whose background is tourism, is an avid hill walker and has written guidebooks about the Irish countryside.
"On Saturday, we already have 100 people setting out in west Cork and then will move on up the country throughout the week," he said.
The majority of those booked during Heritage Week walk are Irish, but there are people coming from California for the occasion.
And there's some good news for people who can't do the whole week of walks.
"You can join us at any point of the day during the week if you aren't free to do the whole thing or if one of the walks is closer to where you live," said Mr O'Dwyer
Margaret Fleming was only reported missing from her home in Inverkip in Inverclyde six months ago.
But it emerged that no-one except her carers had seen her since 1999.
Officers, who searched the house for months, said she "could have had an accident, possibly wanted to be missing or even something more sinister".
Margaret, who will now be 36, was reported missing by her two carers on 28 October.
However, apart from the carers, the last independent sighting of her was at a family gathering on 17 December 1999, when she was 19.
Police were initially asked to call at the remote house, next to the coast on the road between Inverkip and Wemyss Bay, by social work officers.
Det Ch Insp Paul Livingstone told BBC Scotland: "Police were carrying out routine inquiries on behalf of a partner agency and that's when Margaret was reported missing."
"Given the timescales involved it was passed to ourselves here at Major Investigations Teams."
In the years since Margaret was last seen, there has been no trace of any contact with the outside world.
Margaret, who was said to have learning difficulties, had never had a job and had no presence in the online world.
Det Ch Insp Livingstone said Margaret's bank account had not been accessed for many years but confirmed she was in receipt of benefits.
He said: "The carers managed that for her. They ensured the money that was for Margaret was used for her."
The detective said the property where they lived was a five bedroom house called Seacroft in a relatively remote area of Inverclyde.
Police began a search of the house in November and extended into the garden, where excavation work was carried out on half an acre of land.
Forensic experts said they were sifting through the house and garden to find any documentation, clothing and personal items that could assist in finding her.
Det Ch Insp Paul Livingstone said: "There have been extensive inquiries over the past six months as we try to piece together Margaret's life.
"A team of dedicated officers have been sifting through thousands of items, paperwork, documents, and articles taken from the house.
"We've been in contact with around 1,200 individuals and organisations who may have had contact with Margaret in an effort to trace her and over 200 have still to get back to us so we have some lines of enquiry still to follow up."
The detective said officers had taken 500 witness statements and extended the search to 500 metres beyond the house into nearby water and woodland.
He said the search had now finished.
Det Ch Insp said: "Whilst we are keeping an open mind - her carers state that Margaret has a private side to her life, possibly having friends that they are not aware of - we cannot rule out the possibility that she has come to harm in some way.
"By this I mean that she could have had an accident, possibly wanted to be missing or even something more sinister."
He added: "We remain in contact with Margaret's mother, who understandably is shocked and distressed at her disappearance.
"Her carers have been assisting us with our enquiries, and the strength of feeling and support from local residents in the Inverkip area has been welcomed."
He said Margaret was still being considered a missing person and appealed for anyone who may have seen her since 1999 to get in touch.
28 October 2016 - Margaret Fleming reported missing by her carers. The 36-year-old woman was described as 5ft 5in, with collar length black hair and brown eyes. She is described as being of heavy build.
10 November - Police reveal that Margaret has not been seen in public for 'quite some time'. They appealed for people who knew her when she was at James Watt College in Greenock 20 years ago.
Police launch a large-scale search with police divers deployed and officers are spotted combing a large area of ground near the electricity sub-station in the hillside above the A78.
Police say they have limited information and are unable to issue a recent photograph.
Local residents say they have never seen Margaret.
26 November - Despite numerous appeals and searches by specialist police teams, including the mounted unit, divers and dog branch, there has been no trace of Margaret. Chief Inspector Elliot Brown said: "This has been one of the most challenging missing person inquiries of my career because of Margaret's secluded lifestyle."
30 November - Police search the home of the carers
12 December - Search moves from the house to the garden. Police say that, apart from her carers, the last independent sighting of Margaret was on 17 December 1999, at a family gathering. Officers say they have no trace of her having a job, no friends have come forward and she had had no contact with any agencies. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Livingstone said: "Margaret's carers have said that they believe she has a private side to her life and that she may have friends that they are not aware of."
13 December - Police start to dig up garden.
16 December - Drone footage shows garden being dug up
17 December - Police make fresh appeal exactly 17 years after Margaret was last seen.
21 December - Drones banned from flying over the site
28 April 2017 - Police say search of house, garden and surrounding area is complete but investigations are ongoing
A pitch invasion took place after Hibernian beat Rangers 3-2 on 21 May.
Rangers said the priorities are wrong.
"Instead of player and supporter safety, they have placed all their emphasis and importance on the monetary value of a set of goalposts, pieces of turf and advertising boards," said Rangers in a statement.
The clubs are alleged to have breached disciplinary rule 311, which states that "damage was sustained to Hampden... as a consequence of misbehaviour by supporters".
The compliance officer looked at the cup final incidents after the publication of Sheriff Principal Edward Bowen's independent report into the day's events.
The SFA requested the report following the pitch invasion that followed after the match. That report, published earlier this month, concluded that the Scottish government should consider making it a criminal offence to run on to a football pitch.
Fans entered the pitch at Hampden Park after Hibs won their first Scottish Cup in 114 years.
Thousands of Hibs fans jumped the barriers at the final whistle and a number of Rangers fans also came on to the pitch.
The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour by Hibs players.
Rangers players were not able to pick up their cup final medals.
There has since been 64 arrests in connection to the cup final disorder.
"It is alarming that the governance of Scottish football is so lacking that it is impossible for the Scottish FA to guarantee the safety of footballers at the country's showpiece event," said Rangers.
"The SFA is either unwilling or is powerless when it comes to taking the appropriate punitive action against the offenders.
"A number of Rangers players were assaulted by Hibernian supporters in broad daylight on the Hampden surface and a repeat of this must be avoided at all costs. That should have been the priority of the SFA.
"Yet the governing body insists it is not within its remit to issue any charges, let alone punishments, for such violent and dangerous misconduct.
"Rangers directors will take time to consider an appropriate and more comprehensive response to redress our grievances, but for the moment the board fully endorses the incredulity and anger of all Rangers supporters."
Whitbread confirmed it had added pork to a dish served in Table Table and Whitbread Inns restaurants, but denied claims in the Sun that it had continued to advertise it as a "beef lasagne".
The chain said although online menus had not been immediately updated, menus in "all restaurants" had been changed.
A spokesman said pork was part of "a traditional Italian lasagne recipe".
According to the Sun, which carried the story on its front page on Tuesday, the restaurant outlets did not change some of their menus for three months after pork had been added to the recipe.
The newspaper said the dish was still being advertised as a "beef lasagne" even though it had pork in.
The paper said the move could offend Jewish and Muslim customers, who do not eat pork for religious reasons and could have ordered the dish in the belief it contained only beef.
A Whitbread spokesman confirmed it had changed its recipe in the restaurants in September, saying "most people will be aware a traditional Italian lasagne recipe would typically include a beef and pork ragu".
"We mistakenly, and with no ill intent, missed updating the website/online menus for our Table Table and Whitbread Inns brands, but as soon as we were alerted to this we corrected them," the spokesman added.
"This was a genuine mistake on our part and we sincerely apologise to customers if this resulted in any confusion when they were presented with the correct menu at the restaurant."
However, the firm denied it had misled customers.
"We strongly refute the Sun's claim that we have added pork to our lasagne recipe at our restaurants without telling customers," the spokesman added.
"We believe that the Sun are using an old menu which has not been in use in our restaurants for some time.
"We changed the menu from 'beef lasagne' to a more authentic 'lasagne' recipe that includes pork in September last year and, at that point, we updated the menus in all of our restaurants to reflect the change."
It added: "We are confident, therefore, that our customers would have been presented with the correct menu when ordering their meal."
The firm's online menu now describes the dish as lasagne made "with a beef and pork ragu".
Whitbread owns 13 Whitbread Inns restaurants and 99 Table Table outlets.
A source told the BBC that fighting broke out between Tuareg MNLA rebels and the Ansar Dine Islamist group on the third day of protests in the town.
Last month, the two groups agreed to merge and turn their vast northern territory into an Islamist state.
The groups seized the territory in March following a coup in Mali.
Earlier this week, a Kidal resident told the BBC that 500 people had protested over the imposition of Islamic Sharia law.
It is estimated that more than 300,000 people have fled northern Mali since the rebels took the territory.
Regional bloc Ecowas has said it will send 3,000 troops to Mali to help the country reclaim its northern territory, but no timetable has been set.
Correspondents say Thursday night's fighting in Kidal is the first serious confrontation between the two rebel groups.
"The crisis is becoming tribal," said Malian journalist Tiegoum Boubeye Maiga, quoted by AFP news agency.
"After having fought the Malian army together... the two groups are now fighting on a tribal basis. It is very dangerous."
Sources told the BBC that two people had died in Thursday's fighting. Calm had returned by Friday, witnesses said.
In another development, residents of Timbuktu said they had formed an armed group to drive out Islamists currently in control of the far northern town, AFP reported.
Hamidou Maiga, a former army officer, said that the Patriots' Resistance Movement for the Liberation of Timbuktu opposes the secession of northern Mali and "will engage in military action against the invaders until they leave".
The instability of Mali has caused alarm across the region.
The president of neighbouring Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou, told the news channel France 24 on Thursday that jihadists from Afghanistan and Pakistan were training militant groups inside northern Mali.
The MNLA is a secular group but Ansar Dine has ties to al-Qaeda.
Malian army officer Amadou Sanogo seized power in March after claiming the then president, Amadou Toumani Toure, was not doing enough to quash the rebellion in the north.
He was forced to step down three weeks later but is thought to wield power behind the scenes.
Mali's interim President, Dioncounda Traore, is recovering from surgery in a Paris hospital after being beaten unconscious in his office by protesters who supported the coup.
Twitter was awash with comments on the discrepancy between this and an interview Ed Balls gave to BBC Leeds in January, during which he said: "If you abolish the whole status it will end up costing Britain money..."
The Tories were swift to respond with a poster that quickly went viral.
And the video of the original interview, posted on BBC Radio Leeds's Facebook page at the time, began doing the rounds again, with much comment.
After much debate about the whole affair across social media, Ed Balls himself then weighed in on Twitter offering this explanation for the apparent inconsistency...
He later issued a statement on his blog in which he accused the Tories of attempting to "deliberately mislead people".

By the end of Saturday, they were 11 golds ahead of nearest challengers Australia - who could only win seven of the 11 left to be decided - meaning the English will be the most successful nation at a Commonwealth Games for the first time in 28 years.
Saturday was also a successful day for two other home nations in the boxing ring, with Scotland - who passed the 50-medal mark overall - and Northern Ireland both securing double gold.
Representatives of medal table-topping England and closest rivals Australia will meet on Sunday in the finals of both the mixed doubles and men's doubles in squash - one of just five sports with issues still outstanding.
Champions will also be crowned in badminton, netball, hockey and road cycling, with home nations athletes well-placed to add to their country's hauls.
And with Nick Matthew and Adrian Grant, and Peter Barker and Alison Waters in the squash finals, Chris and Gabby Adcock in the final of the badminton mixed doubles, and Lizzie Armitstead and Laura Trott in the road race, England's lead could even be extended.
Scotland, too, could add to their record tally of 19 golds, with Kirsty Gilmour in the final of the badminton singles. And both Wales - who are certain to beat their best medal haul - and the Isle of Man will look to the road race where Geraint Thomas and Peter Kennaugh respectively are among the favourites to win.
But Saturday's focus was on the track, the ring and the pool.

Having spent most of 2014 prevaricating before finally committing to compete, Bolt arrived in Glasgow like a hurricane, caused a storm, then ran like the wind to anchor Jamaica to gold in the 4x100m relay.
Handed the baton by Nickel Ashmeade, the 27-year-old six-time Olympic champion was in second place but raced clear of England's Danny Talbot down the final stretch of the Hampden track to win his first Commonwealth medal, wagging his finger as he crossed the line.
The manner in which he enjoyed the celebrations that followed - cavorting around Hampden wearing a tartan bunnet and scarf and wrapped in a Saltire - was a retort to those who scoff at the merit of the event, as was the reaction of Olympic champion Adams after she became the first female Commonwealth boxing champion.

The 31-year-old Leeds flyweight was awarded victory over Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh after a split decision, although the 21-year-old Belfast fighter was deeply unhappy with the decision.
Scotland and Northern Ireland both saw two champions crowned in the men's competition, with wins for Charlie Flynn and Josh Taylor, and Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon respectively.
The latter had taken bronze in London, the same as English diver Daley, but the Delhi champion took Commonwealth gold once again on Saturday when he retained his 10m platform title, to add to his silver in the synchronised event.
On a day of success for the big names, however, there was ignominy for another.
Botswana's Amantle Montsho was suspended from competition after failing a doping test. The former 400m world champion, who finished fourth in the event on Tuesday, tested positive for the prohibited stimulant methylhexaneamine.

The 31-year-old, who won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Dehli four years ago, has been provisionally suspended while her B sample is tested.
Montsho's sanction means she will not be at Sunday's closing ceremony (21:00 BST) at Hampden Park.
Entitled "All Back to Ours", it has been described by head of ceremonies David Zolkwer as "inviting the world into our front room".
He said: "In many ways I think the last 11 days of sport was the actual party and this is the bit where someone says, 'we don't want this to end so let's go back to our house and carry on'.
"We'll be delivering all the pomp without getting pompous about it."
"We have been catching hilsa for years. So did my parents. In those days the fish were big and we caught plenty.
"These days my children and I catch hilsa, but there are fewer fish and they are getting smaller. Now this fish is becoming very rare."
U Kauk Tin, 65, is one of many fishermen in the Irrawaddy delta of Myanmar (also called Burma) struggling to get by as the fish they rely on for their daily income disappear from the rivers.
Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) - a kind of Indian herring - used to be abundant in the waters along the Bay of Bengal.
It was Myanmar's most exported fish caught in the wild, but that is no longer the case as stocks have declined in recent decades.
Myanmar catches about 15-20% of all hilsa globally, second only to neighbouring Bangladesh which is responsible for about 60% of the total catch in the world, according to a report by the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) project.
BOBLME - an international partnership involving the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation and governments in the region - estimates that the hilsa industry is worth more than $2bn (£1.5bn) globally.
Hilsa swim from the Bay of Bengal to the rivers to spawn.
But commercial trawlers catch them with purse seine nets - a large circular wall of net which goes down very deep to scoop up fish of all sizes.
Researchers say that trawlers in Myanmar are using nets with a 2.5cm (one inch) mesh - trapping smaller, juvenile fish, even though the minimum standard size should be 10cm.
Those fish that do reach the rivers are caught by small-scale fishermen with very fine gill nets which trap even the youngest fish.
Hilsa can grow up to about 50cm, weighing more than 3kg. But most of the fish caught in Myanmar today weigh between 300-500g.
"There's no minimum size for catching the fish, so a lot of juveniles are caught [with a length] lower than 25.7 cm. And that means the fish has not had the opportunity to reproduce," said Michael Akester from WorldFish, an international organisation working with governments in the region to improve fishery management.
The closed season for hilsa fishing in Myanmar runs from May to July but there is no effective enforcement, largely due to economic reasons.
Small-scale fishermen are among Myanmar's poorest residents and banning them from fishing is not practical because they do not have other ways of earning money.
There is also no closed season at sea because Myanmar's government still allows 30% of fishing trawlers to operate during the months the fisheries are supposed to be closed.
Currently, there is no detailed assessment of fish stocks in Myanmar, but most experts say improved fisheries management is urgently needed.
Water pollution and climate change are also major factors behind the hilsa's decline.
Dumping rubbish, including plastic bags, in rivers is common and excessive use of pesticides is also a significant problem as the toxins flow into the rivers, reducing nursery grounds for hilsa.
But a senior official from Myanmar's Department of Fisheries said hilsa were still abundant in the country.
"We don't need to worry because we are still catching a lot," said Tun Win Myint, one of the department's directors.
Government figures show an increase in hilsa catch at sea in the last year. But the size of fish are mostly about half of that of full-grown adults.
"You can increase the catch level just by increasing the input," pointed out Essam Yassin Mohammed, a senior researcher from the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).
"You increase the number of fishing vessels, increase the days you spend at fishing."
This year, IIED is going to work on a project to help Myanmar's poor fishing communities using a programme they implemented in Bangladesh in which fishing communities were given rice as an incentive not to catch hilsa in the closed season.
But the four-year project is only in its inception and it still needs to establish a model that would work for Myanmar.
There is also a need to improve both fishery laws and monitoring so that stocks can return to sustainable levels.
"The Department of Fisheries are currently trying to improve their control, but they will probably take a decade to get to a position where it could be stated that the fishery is fully sustainable," said Michael Akester.
"If laws aren't in place, if the ability to implement the laws to police the fisheries, to have a quota, to have a minimum size, if those factors aren't in place it will be difficult to come to a sustainable fishery," he said.
U Kauk Tin knows that he and fishermen like him have a role to play in solving the issue, but he needs help.
"If we catch the small fish, of course they can't grow bigger. But if I don't catch them then we can't earn a living," he said.
"That's why we catch anything we can."
Rooney, 31, said after his substitute appearance in United's Europa League final victory on 24 May that he had "more or less" decided his future.
The club are yet to say if he will stay for the final year of his contract.
But Neville said: "You don't want to create voids for speculation around such big players."
United's players are due to return for pre-season training on 8 July.
They leave for Los Angeles the following day to start a five-game tour of the United States, which will be followed by matches in Oslo and Dublin.
In 2013, speculation about Rooney moving to Chelsea intensified as United flew to Thailand for the start of their only pre-season under David Moyes.
But the striker stayed, signing his latest contract, which expires in 2018.
Although he broke Sir Bobby Charlton's club goalscoring record at Stoke in January - finishing the season on 253 from 559 appearances - Rooney's involvement receded as the season went on.
Indeed he was only used as an 89th-minute substitute in the Europa League final, with United already 2-0 up.
It had been anticipated the game in Stockholm would be Rooney's last for United.
However, the potential for him to make a lucrative move to China has lessened following the implementation of tighter restrictions on overseas players.
Los Angeles Galaxy are not interested in signing him, and Rooney repeated last month his stance that he would not play for another Premier League club apart from United and former club Everton.
"I am surprised it has not been dealt with," said Neville.
"You don't want that speculation to hang over a pre-season because every single press conference and media session will be clogged up with the issue of whether he is staying or going."
Neville was speaking to the BBC at the launch of an academy at National League North side Salford City, the team he part owns with fellow 'Class of 92' members Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
But events at Yanhuang Chunqiu - a distinguished, if somewhat dry, history magazine - are evidence of a watershed moment, its former staff believe.
"I've not seen this kind of thing since the Cultural Revolution," the recently dismissed - some might say purged - founder and director Du Daozheng tells me.
In July, the magazine's offices were taken over by strangers, who changed the computer passwords, began to open the mail as if it was their own and took over the running of the magazine.
"It was a co-ordinated effort to block us and to contain and control us," Mr Du says.
At 93 years old, he does not look like your usual target of Chinese government oppression.
Granted, his magazine - whose title loosely translates as China Through the Ages - has long been offering a mild critique of the official Communist version of history.
But it is hardly a radical voice of opposition. Mr Du himself has been a card-carrying member of the Party for almost eight decades and was, for a long time, a senior editor at Xinhua, the state-run news agency.
"All other newspapers only speak with the same voice," he says.
"We offered something different, but we were still a force within the system, using our voice to advocate moderate reform."
There have been attempts to clip the magazine's wings in the past.
In 2008 it broke a longstanding taboo by publishing a series of articles about Zhao Ziyang, the former party leader ousted in 1989 who spent the rest of his days under house arrest.
And one of the magazine's senior editors, Hu Dehua, is himself the son of another reform-minded former leader, Hu Yaobang.
But the magazine has managed to stay in business, partly because of the backing of influential sympathisers. In recent years it boasted a readership of some 200,000 a month.
Another series of articles, published in 2013, ruffled feathers by questioning the details of a well-known story about Communist soldiers fighting against the Japanese in World War Two.
The heroic tale has the five Chinese soldiers jumping off a cliff so they would not be captured alive, but the article expressed doubts about key aspects, including how many Japanese soldiers were supposed to have been killed in the preceding battle.
"There have been many times when they want to say that we cannot have a different opinion," Mr Du tells me.
"But this time it's serious. They really do want to shut us down."
So, he says, in the face of the appointment of new editorial staff by the authorities, the original staff had no choice but to issue a notice announcing that any future editions of the magazine would have nothing to do with them.
But they are not giving up.
This week they went to court to try to challenge what they see as an illegal attempt to stifle their voice, although few observers would give them much chance of success.
The plight of Yanhuang Chunqiu is seen as symbolic of the tightening of control over freedom of expression under President Xi Jinping.
Lawyers, activists and religious groups are all feeling the pressure as his government moves against what it sees as the dangers of pluralist, Western ideals.
But that a history magazine should be in the firing line has shocked many observers.
The past has always been a sensitive subject in China but Yanhuang Chunqiu was at least one place where China's often dark and difficult history could be openly discussed as a way of illuminating the future.
Even that opportunity has now gone.
"I had high expectations for Xi Jinping," Mr Du says.
"But in general I think he is going backwards. The consequences of this clampdown is not only about our magazine but it will harm the party and the country."
Equipment has arrived on site in preparation for the recovery of the missing men at the weekend.
It comes after the operation to find three missing workers buried after the collapse on 23 February was criticised by their families for being too slow.
The HSE said "returning the missing men to their families" was a priority.
The Labour MP for Rotherham, where two of the families live, called on the government to intervene following criticism of a "slow" recovery operation.
But now, Sarah Champion MP, said she is "really really pleased" that a rescue plan has been published by RWE Npower.
She added: "They are now putting up fences, bringing in heavy machinery and they have confirmed that by the weekend they will start lifting the steel so we can find the men and bring them home."
One person died and five were injured after half of the decommissioned Didcot A plant collapsed.
Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, are still missing in the rubble.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Cleveland, North Yorkshire, was found following the collapse.
Thames Valley Police said specialist officers are supporting the families of the missing men and are providing them with regular updates on the progress of the recovery work.

Chelsea won Europe's second-tier club competition last season after failing to defend their Champions League title.
But Blues boss Mourinho told BBC Sport: "I don't want to win the Europa League.
"It would be a big disappointment for me. I don't want my players to feel the Europa League is our competition."
Benitez guided Chelsea to Europa League success in May by beating Benfica in the final.
The 53-year-old Spaniard, who took over at Stamford Bridge on a short-term basis in November, also helped the club clinch automatic qualification for the Champions League, a competition the club won in 2012 when Roberto Di Matteo was in charge.
Career record up to 1 June 2013
Mourinho, who has clashed verbally with Benitez on a number of occasions, has never won the Champions League while at Chelsea but did taste success with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
"That's the only European competition we have to play and that's the European competition we have to give our best," he told BBC Sport's Richard Conway.
As well as conquering Europe, Mourinho is also targeting Premier League success after guiding the Blues to league glory twice during his first spell at Stamford Bridge.
"The most important thing in football is to be the best team in the season and try to win your domestic league," said the 50-year-old Portuguese, who was Blues boss from 2004 to 2007.
"In our case, it's the most important league in Europe, so we have to try and be the best team and win the Premier League."
As Chelsea prepare to face Singha All-Stars in Bangkok on Wednesday, the former Real Madrid manager has told his squad that status does not matter when it comes to team selection.
Defender John Terry, 32, and Frank Lampard, 35, were key members of the team during Mourinho's first Chelsea reign, but he insists no one is guaranteed their place.
"I don't care about the passport, I don't care about the date of their birth, I just care about performance," he said.
"If they are better than the young guys, then they play. If the young guys are better than them, they don't play.
"But the way they are working is amazing. These guys, they know they have to give everything and don't expect that status chooses the line-up."
Meanwhile, Mourinho has vowed to do everything he can to help Fernando Torres back to his best, but admits the ultimate responsibility lies with the 29-year-old striker, who moved to Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in 2011.
"Good players in big clubs, they are always under this pressure," said Mourinho.
"The only thing I can promise is that I give everything to my players and I try my best to perform the best I can. He will get from me that support that a striker needs to feel more confident.
"But, at the end of the day, it's up to them and is their responsibility. Fernando has to cope with that."
On the issue of strikers, Mourinho reiterated his admiration for Wayne Rooney, who has been the subject of recent transfer speculation.
Manchester United manager David Moyes insists Rooney is not for sale but says he is no longer the number one striker at Old Trafford in light of Robin van Persie's performances last season.
Mourinho believes that poses a problem for England and manager Roy Hodgson ahead of next year's World Cup in Brazil.
"If Wayne is a second choice for Man Utd, then the national team will be affected," said Mourinho.
Along with the NHS, taxes and housing were the issues that were mentioned most frequently.
One parent that I met was particularly irate that her adult children were still living at home because they couldn't afford to move out, which she attributed to expensive housing as well as low wages.
Others were concerned about tax rises, an issue that my colleague Robert Peston has written about.
Nationwide reports that house prices have risen strongly by 1% over the past month and average house prices have exceeded £190,000 for the first time. Those are the sorts of headlines that lead many to worry about "Generation Rent," ie, young people who can't afford to buy their first property.
It's been a decade since the Barker Review which concluded that 120,000 new homes were needed each year to reduce house price inflation to 1.1% per annum. That's per year, and not the monthly increase recorded by Nationwide and others which have similarly tracked the rise in house prices despite a slow recovery.
To address the needs of social housing requires around 20,000 new homes to be built each year. Altogether, it means that £1.2-1.6bn of investment is additionally required.
It's well known that home building has lagged demand, particularly in the past few years. In 2012-13, there were only around 108,000 completions in England, which is one of the lowest house building rates since 1923.
Policies that ease the demand side, including helping first time buyers, without increasing the supply of housing risks generating more upward price pressure. This debate is well-trodden ground as buyers appreciate the help while economists fret over the impact given the supply constraint.
In terms of affordability, there's certainly an income dimension.
It's another long-standing issue made worse by the fact that wages that haven't kept up with inflation, which has been a feature for most of this recovery. To sustain higher wages requires greater productivity. In other words, firms can pay more if there is higher output per worker.
The productivity puzzle in the UK that centres on why output per hour remains below what it was in 2008 when the rest of the G7 is now about 5% above that pre-crisis level is a persistent one.
I've written before about this puzzle and part of the explanation is the dramatic fall in investment since the 2008 recession. But, there's likely to be more to it since other post-banking crisis countries like the US have recovered better.
In any case, the end result is a squeeze on incomes, and thus the irate voter that I met whose children can't afford to live outside the family home. It's an all too familiar tale.
The budget deficit and Europe were also mentioned, but these weren't of the greatest concern for voters.
By contrast, these are major worries for business.
In terms of the fiscal deficit, there continues to be a divide between those working in markets - which want to see a clear plan to close the gap between government spending and revenues - and some academic economists who fault austerity for prolonging the recovery. This is certainly well-covered ground.
In terms of Brexit - Britain's potential exit from the European Union - it figures prominently among the concerns of the business community. Grant Thornton conducted a survey among global businesses and found that Brexit was more of a concern than Grexit - the potential exit of Greece from the eurozone.
That may be surprising since Greece and the euro crisis have dominated headlines for years, and has triggered some fairly seismic changes in Europe, including the formation of a Banking Union and now a Capital Market Union.
Yet, Grant Thornton finds that nearly two-thirds (64%) of businesses believe that Britain's exit from the EU would negatively affect Europe, as compared with just under half (45%) who believe that Grexit would have a negative impact. Among non-euro EU members, the figures are even higher where nearly four out of five businesses (72%) believe there to be a negative impact from Brexit.
This is consistent with research from the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at the LSE which finds that Brexit would cause a loss of national output of 1-3% per annum for Britain. A study by two German think tanks, Bertelsmann Stiftung and the ifo Institute, concurs and also finds that there will be a negative impact on German income until 2030.
For businesses such as those represented by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), there is support for re-negotiating the terms of Britain's membership of the European Union. But, that is short of Brexit.
In the City, I've heard repeatedly that a potential referendum by 2017 leaves the situation uncertain for too long. After all, it's a frequently heard phrase that markets don't like uncertainty.
We may get some clarity about an EU referendum after the election, but the questions around Britain's relationship with a reforming eurozone are likely to linger.
Former European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet told me to not underestimate the institutions that have developed in the euro zone. He says it'll take time for Europe to evolve and it won't be entirely like the United States, but he described it as eventually evolving into more of a federal structure. So, it won't be the United States of Europe anytime soon, but that is one direction of travel.
If the euro zone moves in that direction, then it raises a number of questions about where that leaves the non-euro European countries like Britain. Does it mean negotiations each time there is a new institution or major policy decided in the euro zone? How much sway would Britain possess when the euro zone decides on a rule for capital markets, for instance? Recall that Britain failed to block a financial transaction tax in Europe.
Thus, for the UK, there are certainly long-term economic challenges that will need to be addressed - by whichever party (or parties) come into power after the General Election.

The game will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rades on 4 January, according to the French side.
The 1991 African champions and the six-time French Ligue 1 winners will contest the Trophée Ooredoo des Champions at the ground which hosted the 2004 African Cup of Nations final.
PSG are expected to field a strong squad, including star names such as Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, Serge Aurier and Angel Di Maria.
The match is to be bankrolled by Ooredoo, the premier private telephone operator in Tunisia.
"I'm very happy that the players and the staff will have the chance to come and experience the Tunisians' fervour for football," PSG managing director Frédéric Longuépée said.
"Paris Saint-German is very popular in Tunisia, with more social media fans numbering over 575,000 and growing everyday.
"This tour will be a great chance for us to come and meet them. Thanks to their support, we'll be playing in a fantastic atmosphere," Longuépée added.
Paris Saint-Germain have played five matches in Tunisia. The last two of those matches were held at the Olympic Stadium in Rades.
Over the last two years, Paris Saint-Germain have also had a presence in Tunisia thanks to the Paris Saint-Germain Academy programme, in partnership with Ooredoo.
Sessions were held in Tunis in 2015 and Sousse in March 2016.
Dr Gary Gillespie said growth was still forecast at just below 2% for the year, following three years of steady growth.
However, he warned of a "challenging" environment, particularly in the oil and gas sector.
Finance secretary John Swinney said Scotland had "remained resilient" despite "increased global headwinds."
Dr Gillespie's tri-annual "state of the economy" report said quarterly growth was 0.1%, with annualised growth at 1.9%. Growth for the UK as a whole in 2015 is forecast around 2.4%.
Household expenditure and investment were key drivers in the Scottish market, with construction activity in particular surging.
However, he warned that there had been "substantial reduction in investment intentions" in the oil and gas sector, "impacting directly on employment and the wider supply chain".
The outlook for the sector in 2016 remains "challenging" while oil prices remain low, and a fall in global commodity prices has also hit steel and paper production.
A strong rate of employment growth in recent years has levelled off, with unemployment stabilising at pre-recession levels.
Dr Gillespie said: "The external environment remains key to the outlook in 2016 for Scotland both in terms of global demand, in particular China, and the impact of monetary tightening in the US on wider global economic sentiment.
"The legacy from the financial crisis of 2008/09 is a much more inter-dependent and fragile global economic system which transmits the impact of economic changes through the global economic system. As an open economy, Scotland is not immune to these impacts."
The chief economist noted that growth should be more "broad-based" in 2016, with more private sector expenditure balancing out public sector investment and improved productivity driving export growth.
He said: "The labour market remains strong, and whilst there are headwinds from the external environment the outlook overall at this time remains positive."
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the Scottish economy had "remained resilient even in the face of increased global headwinds", continuing the longest period of continuous quarterly growth in the Scottish economy since 2001.
He said: "Recent data has shown that Scotland's economy has been performing well over recent years, with output and employment above their pre-crisis levels. Our economy, however, is facing a number of external challenges and the pace of growth has therefore slowed during the second quarter of the year.
"The UK government retains control of the main economic and tax levers affecting the North Sea oil industry, and we urge them to do all they can to assist the sector. We are doing all we can within our devolved powers, having set up the Energy Jobs Taskforce to help protect employment in the industry and to drive forward innovation and new ways of working.
"Our prioritisation of public infrastructure spending throughout 2015 has also been a strong contributor to growth in Scotland during this period."
He added: "The Scottish government will continue to work with businesses to focus on growing the economy and promoting Scotland as a great place to do business."
United have at least claimed the Capital One Cup and could reach the Champions League by winning the Europa League, with a semi-final against Celta Vigo to come. But Man City manager Guardiola has suffered the first trophy-less season of his managerial career after the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Arsenal.
Both managers will be expected to fight for the Premier League title next season - so what areas must they address?
Goalkeeper conundrum
Guardiola's big decision on arrival was to send England goalkeeper Joe Hart packing to Torino on loan and sign Claudio Bravo from Barcelona in a £17.5m deal - a move that cannot be described as a success.
In Guardiola's defence, 34-year-old Bravo had a fine reputation at Barcelona and had been impressive in helping Chile to win the Copa America as captain on home soil in 2015.
Bravo, however, has looked uncertain, had spells out of the side and has not looked like the answer to City's goalkeeping dilemma. It was almost ironic that he sustained a calf injury against United as he confidently claimed a cross in a manner rarely seen this season. He has not even been convincing with the ball at his feet, something that was almost regarded as his unique selling point when replacing Hart.
Willy Caballero is 35, and with no likelihood of Hart reviving his Manchester City career, Guardiola must decide whether to maintain faith in Bravo, very much his man and signing, or accept this move has failed and move on.
Guardiola would be gambling if he sticks with Bravo, a goalkeeper who earned an unwanted reputation for not making saves. He may need to cast his net elsewhere as few teams win titles with an average goalkeeper.
Age is Man City's defensive barrier
Manchester City were reportedly linked with Tottenham's England right-back Kyle Walker before Thursday's derby and have also been mentioned in connection with his team-mate, left-back Danny Rose.
The chances of signing both are highly unlikely but these positions look certain to be two areas of interest for Guardiola in the summer.
City have talented defenders in those positions who have all been fine servants - but who are all much nearer the end of their careers than the beginning.
Pablo Zabaleta has been a magnificent player for City but is now 32. Bacary Sagna is 34 while Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov are both 31. This is an area in urgent need of young blood and renewal.
John Stones has had a tough introduction since his £47.5m move from Everton but has the quality to be a top-class City central defender for years to come.
And the current return to form and fitness of inspirational captain Vincent Kompany - outstanding against Manchester United - is a welcome bonus.
The 31-year-old can save City money in the markets should he stay fit, but the form of Nicolas Otamendi means Guardiola is likely to be looking for central defensive reinforcements.
Former England forward Chris Waddle watched the Manchester derby as a BBC Sport pundit and said: "It is easy to see what the biggest thing is that needs to change for City to get closer to winning the title. Their defence.
"That starts with the goalkeeper. Whether Pep Guardiola likes Bravo or not, I don't think he is the top-class keeper you need to win the league and neither is Caballero.
"I know he wants someone there who can use the ball with his feet and play the way he wants, but he also has to be able to stop the ball from going in the net because they concede too many goals.
"He also needs three defenders - a centre-back and two full-backs."
Guardiola's team must get ruthless
Manchester City - for a team of such enviable attacking riches - often suffer from a frustrating failure to make superiority count.
It was seen, albeit with large slices of bad luck, in the FA Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal at Wembley and also against Manchester United, when they could not break through despite camping out in their half for almost the entire second period.
In the league, City dominated at home to Spurs but drew 2-2 in January, and earlier in April they failed to build on dominance and an early Leroy Sane goal in a 2-2 draw at the Gunners.
Guardiola must believe that with the likes of Sergio Aguero, with 30 goals in all competitions, and the creativity of Kevin de Bruyne, Sane, Raheem Sterling and the emerging brilliance of Gabriel Jesus to call on, this problem will eventually solve itself.
David Silva is still an outstanding player and City will hope Ilkay Gundogan can build on his fine start once he recovers from a serious knee injury.
The talent is there but Guardiola will know City simply cannot be as generous next season as they have been in this campaign.
Keep De Gea or replace with world class?
It's that time again - when United goalkeeper David de Gea is linked with a return to his native Spain with Real Madrid.
De Gea's proposed £29m move to Real broke down in August 2015 but now the rumour mill is awash with talk it could be revived, although United would not even pick up the phone at the price agreed first time around.
At 26, De Gea is not even at his peak with years of quality and improvement to come. He is already in the elite group of the world's best keepers. United will demand twice as much as that initial fee if any potential move is to get off the ground.
United's preference would be to keep De Gea, who has maintained a superb level of consistency after he became accustomed to the demands of United and the Premier League following his £18.9m move from Atletico Madrid in June 2011.
If he does leave, though, his importance means United can only move at the top end of the market for a replacement. Sergio Romero is a fine deputy but the Argentine is just that - a deputy.
United could return to Atletico for 24-year-old Slovenian Jan Oblak, but being as though they are already linked with striker Antoine Griezmann, Atletico manager Diego Simeone is unlikely to want two prize assets presented to Old Trafford.
United target Antoine Griezmann has scored 82 goals in 154 appearances for Atletico Madrid, hitting 25 or more each season.
Another Slovenian, Inter Milan's 32-year-old Samir Handanovic, has a good reputation while AC Milan's brilliant 18-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma is regarded as the world's best young keeper and is reportedly involved in contract negotiations with his club.
United's preference will surely be to keep De Gea - but if he goes there must be a high-end replacement.
Ditch the draws to find success
One statistic stands out when it comes to analysing Manchester United's failure to mount a title challenge - 13 draws from 33 league games.
United's run of 24 unbeaten league games stretching back to October should have them in the title mix with Chelsea and Spurs, but a lack of wins has sabotaged those ambitions.
And nine of those have come at Old Trafford, with the likes of Stoke City, Burnley, West Ham United, Hull City, Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion all leaving "The Theatre Of Dreams" unbeaten.
The margins are fine and many of those games could and should have been wins, but Mourinho must find a way to cure a serious problem.
Sprinkle stardust on Old Trafford
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, at 35, has proved a magnificent, charismatic addition on a free transfer with 28 goals following his move from Paris St-Germain.
Sadly, there must be doubts over his future after sustaining a serious knee injury in the Europa League quarter-final win against Anderlecht.
Wayne Rooney, an unused substitute at Manchester City, is also surely coming to the end of his 251-goal Manchester United career at the end of the season. He is 31 and his time at United, stretching back to 2004, looks done.
Mourinho has attacking resources in the exciting Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial, as well as goal threat from the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. But he needs another a game-changing superstar to add gold dust and goals to raise United's level - and maybe stop those damaging draws.
One man stands out as a potential target - 26-year-old Griezmann.
The France striker would cost a fee in the region of the £89m it required to bring Paul Pogba from Juventus, and there must be questions about whether the he would even entertain a move to United if they were not in the Champions League next season.
'Let Manchester United off the leash'
Is the fact United have drawn so many games a sign that Jose Mourinho applies the handbrake to his players?
Waddle thinks so and told BBC Sport after the derby: "There is a reason they have drawn too many games. Next season, Mourinho has got to know when to be a little bit more attack-minded against certain teams.
"It is against the lesser sides that United have struggled, and that is where Mourinho needs to change. He has got to have more players in his team who can open doors and score goals.
"He might argue that his side dominate possession every time they play at Old Trafford without getting the rewards.
"Mourinho is great at organising his teams against the top sides but he has to let them off the leash more if he wants to get results. Creativity is the hardest thing to bring to a team.
"The way he sets up, his wide men are not luxury players - he wants them up and down that flank and it is hard work for a winger to do that all game, making 70, 80 yard runs all the time."
City and United are locked in a battle for places in the league's top four - but managers of the pedigree of Guardiola and Mourinho must deliver more.
They said the family had no idea Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were capable of such an attack.
The lawyers warned against jumping to conclusions after the FBI said earlier the attack was being investigated as an "act of terrorism".
Wednesday's mass shooting left 14 people dead and 21 injured.
Tashfeen Malik, 29, and her husband Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, died in a shootout with police after the killings in the southern Californian city, east of Los Angeles.
FBI spokesman David Bowdich told reporters that officers were trying to recover data from two mobile phones found crushed in a waste bin near the scene, a social services agency.
Lawyers David Chesley and Mohamed Abuershaid said there was no evidence that the couple had extremist views.
Syed Rizwan Farook's sister, Saira Khan, told CBS News: "I can never imagine my brother or my sister-in-law doing something like this, especially because they were happily married, they had a beautiful six-month-old daughter,"
Farook is said to have had few friends and Malik has been described by family as a "caring, soft-spoken" housewife.
Tashfeen Malik was born in Pakistan and lived for 20 years in Saudi Arabia before moving back to her native country to go to university.
She and Farook, a US national, met on Muslim dating websites, the New York Times quotes officials as saying. The new couple spent about a week in Saudi Arabia last year, before returning to the US together.
She was granted a visa allowing people to enter the US to marry American citizens. Mr Chesley said Malik was very conservative. She did not interact with male family members and wore a burka, he said.
The couple used handguns and automatic weapons that had been legally purchased in the US, police say.
In response to the shooting, the New York Times ran an editorial calling for stricter gun controls on the front page of Saturday's print paper. It is the first time since 1920 that the paper has run an editorial on page one.
"It is a moral outrage and national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency," the opinion piece said.
"America's elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing," it added.
The bomb-making equipment and the thousands of rounds of ammunition have all been removed, and the tan-coloured townhouse which Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik called home has now returned to normal.
On Friday, the FBI completed their search of the property on this leafy suburban street, and after confiscating notebooks and computers - and even Christmas tree lights - handed the property back to its owner.
Waiting reporters were allowed a peek behind the venetian blinds, hoping to get some degree of insight into the life of the "clean-cut young man" and his young bride and baby, who never caused problems and always paid their rent on time.
And as we piled across the threshold, we encountered not the remnants of some medieval torture chamber - or even the evidence of a fanatical terrorist cell - but all the trappings of domestic mundanity: powdered baby food in the kitchen, a cot in the upstairs bedroom, nappies, books and tapestries and several copies of the Quran.
Who carried out shootings?
Becoming radicalised under the radar
What makes this shooting different?
FBI Director James Comey said earlier that the investigation was in its early stages and that the couple may have been "potentially inspired" by foreign terror groups.
However, he said there was no evidence they were part of a network.
The FBI said it was also investigating reports that Malik had posted a message on Facebook pledging allegiance to Islamic State (IS).
The militant group on Saturday hailed the attack, saying it had been carried out by "two supporters of the Islamic State".
The statement, carried by IS's al-Bayan radio, gave no indication that the group had any involvement in planning the attack at the Inland Regional Center social services agency.

The software is widely used to write programs that run in web browsers. But Oracle said modern browsers were increasingly incompatible with it.
Oracle said it would begin winding the plug-in down with the release of its latest development kit software but its demise would not be immediate.
Java has been criticised by many online security experts, who have said it is vulnerable to hackers.
"By late 2015, many browser vendors have either removed or announced timelines for the removal of standards based plug-in support, eliminating the ability to embed Flash, Silverlight, Java and other plug-in based technologies," Oracle said, announcing the decision on Wednesday.
"With modern browser vendors working to restrict and reduce plug-in support in their products, developers of applications that rely on the Java browser plug-in need to consider alternative options such as migrating from Java Applets (which rely on a browser plug-in) to the plug-in free Java Web Start technology."
"Oracle plans to deprecate the Java browser plug-in" in the next release of its Java Development Kit, JDK 9, it said. The technology would be removed from future software releases, it added.
"By 'deprecate', Oracle doesn't mean that the Java plug-in will be killed stone dead. Instead they will increasingly hide it, and not encourage users to install it. In due course, the software will be entirely removed," said the security consultant Graham Cluley.
In a blog post for online security company Tripwire, Mr Cluley said: "Of course, Oracle isn't dropping support for Java entirely - but with the demise of the unpopular web browser plug-in, it hopes users will be happy to switch over to its replacement."
He said that, while the number of reported problems had fallen in recent years, Java remained notorious for its vulnerabilities.
"Many users have found it hard to muster... love for the technology," he said.
"And yet, the Java browser plug-in has plodded on, shrugging off the brickbats and abuse, and doggedly providing support for the odd, ageing website and bespoke applications relied upon by corporations."
Mr Cluley said browser manufacturers were making the Java plug-in irrelevant.
He added: "Oracle isn't the only company having to recognise that the world is changing. Adobe, developers of the often-attacked Flash plug-in, recently made clear that it was moving away from the platform to an HTML5-based future."
The Barry-born fighter, 30, dropped his opponent in round one of the non-title bout and always looked in control.
Selby showed graceful feet in contrast to Gago's block-like movement - and a flurry of punches in round nine saw referee Bob Williams stop the contest.
The victory improves Selby's record to 24 wins from 25 fights.
His win keeps alive hope of a 2017 meeting with Leo Santa Cruz or Carl Frampton.
Such stellar names are high on Selby's agenda and at Friday's weigh in, Selby mouthed "easy work" to fans chanting Frampton's name.
His hopes of fighting either man will much depend on whether Northern Ireland's Frampton and the WBA champion opt to conclude a trilogy of fights.
Fighting three hours before a main event with the O2 Arena barely half full seems a long way from the bright lights of Las Vegas, where Selby suffered the frustration of seeing a bout postponed at 24 hours notice in January.
But he visibly sought to put on an eye-catching show, ducking and weaving, slipping rare attacks with ease and showing variety in the angles of his punches as he worked the body and head consistently.
After this bout, he will no longer fight under promoters Matchroom Sport as he seeks a new direction and in truth, Gago - who has now lost three times in a 21-fight career - was never going to derail any well-thought out plans.
He was brave but there were signs Selby was breaking down the travelling fighter's defences in the sixth, when a straight right rattled through his guard.
A left-hook to the body followed by a snappy straight-right in eight saw Gago pushed to the ropes and a round later it was all over.
Selby landed a left hook to the temple which staggered his opponent and after a left to the body and another hook to the head, the contest was ended.
This was far from the test of 11 months ago, where Selby got up from the first knockdown of his career to defend his title against Eric Hunter.
In truth, he got enough rounds to justify a good workout and his talent is obvious but all eyes will now be on his next move as he bids to inject much-needed momentum into his career.
The Scottish FA said it expected a chairperson to be appointed in February and work would being "immediately".
It added that it had already held meetings with survivors to "shape and influence" the terms of reference.
The review was set up after several former players revealed they were abused by people in authority.
Police Scotland revealed last month that it was investigating more than 100 reports of child sex abuse in football.
In a statement, the SFA said its discussions with abuse survivors were an "open forum to hear their perspectives, provide support and to help shape and influence an appropriate terms of reference for the association's independent review."
Child wellbeing and protection manager, Donna Martin, who convened the meetings, said survivors wanted the review to examine all football in Scotland, without limit of time.
She said: "The ongoing dialogue we have had with survivors has contributed significantly to defining the terms of reference for the independent review.
"We received a wide range of feedback from the survivors, including the timeframe for completion of the review, that there should be no limit to the period of time the review examines, and that it should encompass all football in Scotland.
"It is vitally important to the Scottish FA that all parties are satisfied with the content before the review proceeds."
A first draft of the terms of reference will be presented to survivors at their next meeting later this month, before they are presented to the SFA board in February.
A delegation from the SFA has met regularly with Police Scotland and third-sector organisations with expertise in supporting survivors of abuse.
It said any survivors coming forward would receive a professional-needs assessment from a clinical psychologist, who would then refer the victim to the appropriate level of support.
During December, allegations were made against coaches who were formerly involved with clubs including Motherwell, Partick Thistle and Rangers, involving incidents which happened between the 1970s and the early 1990s.
A BBC Scotland investigation revealed that former youth coach and referee Hugh Stevenson was allowed to carry on working in football for several years after being reported to police and the SFA over child sex offences.
And Jim McCafferty, a former youth coach who was the kit man for Celtic, Hibernian and Falkirk was arrested in Belfast after allegations were made against him.
The year also saw a big recovery in exports into the European Union, up by more than a third on 2015.
But there was a warning about the impact on jobs if tariffs are introduced, and on the wider industry if migrant workers are cut back.
Sector leaders are in Brussels for the world's biggest fish industry expo.
The effort is seen as an important one for promoting Scotland's biggest food export, which was, in 2014, the biggest UK food export, above confectionery.
Much higher prices, due to a shortfall in supply, meant a sharp increase in profits for producers during the last year.
The new figures are from HM Revenue and Customs. They show that the tonnage of exported salmon fell by more than a quarter, from 100,000 tonnes in 2014 to 83,400 tonnes in 2015. And last year, it fell by 10%, to 74,600 tonnes.
The export value fell from £494m in 2014, to £386m. It then rose to £451m in 2016.
The decline is largely due to a fall in the supply of fish, and a reduced average size.
Much of this is explained by sea lice - what the industry calls "biological challenges".
The biggest producer, Marine Harvest, published figures recently showing that 69% of its farms last year breached levels when an outbreak of the parasite has to be notified. That was far higher than any other producing nation.
One response is to harvest fish quickly from an infected cage, long before they reach their optimum size. Over 7kg, the Atlantic salmon has a premium price in the US and Far East markets.
The industry has been strongly criticised by those who oppose intensive salmon farming, saying the sea lice problem has damaged eco-systems in sea lochs.
The industry body, the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO), claims that recent evidence suggests that the problem may now be reducing.
It expects an increase of 15,000 to 20,000 tonnes in production this year. If that happens, it could make 2017 a record export year.
Exports tend to soak up extra supply contracts after longer-term UK contracts have been fulfilled. Around 52% of salmon farmed in Scotland is consumed in the UK.
Exports of Scottish farmed salmon into the European Union was up 37% to £204m-worth last year. France is the biggest single EU market.
It fell the previous year because of the collapse in 2015 of the Norwegian krone, which made imports from Norway cheaper. Last year, the weakening of sterling helped with exports from Scotland.
Scott Landsburgh, chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Association, said: "We sell every fish we produce. There's never a shortage of demand. The price may not be as strong in 2016, but it will still be very strong this year. We hope we can get back to 90,000 tonnes of export.
"New production sites are being added, and fish health performance looks like it's turning the corner."
However, the industry warned of the impact of losing migrant workers who do much of the processing of salmon and other food.
If Scotland has to trade with the rest of the European Union on the same basis as Norway, that would mean a 2% tariff on exports of fresh fish and 13% on processed fish, including smoked salmon.
The industry chief said there would be even more of a concern about future delays due to paperwork at European borders, following Britain's exit from the EU.
All 49 seats were contested, of which the Tories took 41, compared to the 36 they won in 2013.
They gained Buckingham West from Labour group leader Robin Stuchbury and Ivinghoe from Lib Dem group Leader Avril Davies.
UKIP lost all four seats they were contesting - two to the Tories and two to the Lib Dems.
The Liberal Democrats are the second largest party on the council with four seats, down from five in 2013. There are three independent councillors.

Richard Jones, 31, from Llanwnnen, near Lampeter, was convicted of two counts of illegal dog breeding and 21 counts of causing suffering to dogs.
He was given a four-year ban on keeping animals at Aberystwyth Justice Centre.
But he has now won an appeal and the ban will apply specifically to dealing in dogs which will run for six years.
Swansea Crown Court heard the initial ban was unworkable as he ran the family hill farm and needed to use sheepdogs to control 1,000 sheep.
The appeal hearing was also told Jones and his sister ran the farm and their family's finances depended on it.
The appeal judge, Recorder Peter Griffiths QC, ruled that the terms of the ban should be changed to allow him to continue farming but to stop him running puppy farms.
"I reiterate that each member of the court was appalled by the conditions of the dogs," he said, adding that he believed the nine week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, had been "on the lenient side".
Ceredigion council had brought the prosecution after raids at two premises last June found 113 dogs and puppies suffering.
Some of the dogs in Jones' care were kept in complete darkness, on their own, with advanced chronic skin conditions and showing signs of mental stress.
One puppy was so thin it was close to death, the court heard.
Others were suffering from gangrene and septicaemia while there was evidence that some dogs had eaten their own faeces.
The court was told Jones used to have a breeding licence but it was not renewed by the local authority in 2015 because of concerns.
The appeal hearing was told that since the raids, Jones' farm had passed inspections and the dogs he bred had since been rehomed.

Mr David said he has agreed to go back if he can continue to support multilateral disarmament and the renewal of the Trident nuclear system.
It was important to provide an effective opposition and "take the fight to the Tories", he added.
In July, he warned Labour was not an effective opposition under Mr Corbyn.
Explaining his decision to resign at the time he said: "Jeremy's position is completely untenable and I really think that what he should do is look at the likely scenarios over the next few months and years and recognise that, though a decent man he is, his position as leader of the Labour Party has effectively come to an end."
In his new role Mr David will work under Llanelli MP Nia Griffith, who was named as shadow defence secretary last week.
Meanwhile recently elected MP Chris Elmore has joined the Labour whip's office.
Mr Elmore, who became an MP following a by-election in May, said on Twitter that he was "following in footsteps of several of my predecessors who served as MP for Ogmore".
Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens has also re-joined Mr Corbyn's team as shadow Welsh secretary , whilst Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds was appointed shadow solicitor-general and Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan shadow arts minister.

Veracruz state has seen an increase in violence as rival cartels fight over the control of lucrative drug trafficking routes around the port city of Veracruz.
The area is disputed by the Zetas cartel, considered the most brutal operating in Mexico, and the New Generation Cartel.
The bodies have not yet been identified.
Drug gangs routinely dump bodies by the side of motorways in Mexico.
The victims are sometimes killed to settle scores within the gang hierarchy, others because they belong to rival cartels.
In the past the discovery of bodies rarely made headlines.
But the disappearance in September of 43 students in south-western Guerrero state shone a spotlight on the impunity with which drug gangs operate in Mexico, correspondents say.
As police searched for the 43, they found dozens of bodies in shallow graves around the town where the students disappeared.
After months of searching and the discovery of a bone fragment belonging to one of the students, the prosecutor general's office declared them dead.
Many of their relatives refuse to give up the search and have been campaigning for more to be done to locate them.
The last nuclear reactor was switched off at Wylfa on the island in December 2015.
The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has served an enforcement notice on Magnox Ltd to improve its management of asbestos at the site.
There is no risk of exposure to the public. Magnox Ltd said it had already started improvements.
The company, charged with removing nuclear fuel from the decommissioned site, said there was no suggestion that any staff had been exposed to asbestos fibres.
It has until 28 July to make changes.
An inspection of the site, carried out by the ONR, found that while the company had committed to making improvements, action was needed to make sure legal standards were met for managing asbestos-containing materials.
Chief nuclear insp Dr Richard Savage said it had "no impact on nuclear safety".
"We do require improvements to ensure that any arrangements to manage the risk arising from the presence of asbestos are adequate and appropriate," he said.
A statement from Magnox said the Wylfa site contained "significant quantities of asbestos in a wide range of forms" and had an asbestos management plan, as required by law.
It reads: "Since this issue was first identified we have mobilised significant additional resources to ensure that it is dealt with as a priority.
"We are also reviewing the asbestos management plans across our business to ensure that they are all of the appropriate standard."
The government's planned clean air zones are intended to encourage drivers to choose less-polluting electric cars.
Proposed for five English cities by 2020, the clean air zones will also introduce restrictions on older, polluting commercial vehicles.
But AA president Edmund King said drivers would be "baffled" by separate rules for electric cars.
The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has told Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Derby and Southampton to introduce clean air zones within four years to reduce pollutants, which are linked to the deaths of 40,000 people a year in the UK.
The clean air zones are the government's response to a UK Supreme Court ruling, which ordered it to take action to meet European limits on air pollution.
Environment minister Therese Coffey said: "We need to tackle air pollution and creating Clean Air Zones will improve the quality of life for people who live and work in our towns and cities, both now and in the future."
Alan Andrews, a lawyer for ClientEarth, an environmental law group which brought the Supreme Court action, said the plan was "too little, too late".
"Requiring just five cities in the UK to introduce clean air zones doesn't solve a national problem which causes thousands of premature deaths. Other local authorities won't introduce voluntary clean air zones unless they are made to, or paid to," he said.
These five cities were chosen for their high levels of nitrogen dioxide, often caused by diesel fumes. Other local authorities in England will be able to create clean air zones voluntarily.
Within the zone, local councils can create new road layouts allowing electric vehicles (EVs) to bypass one-way systems or get priority at junctions. They could also be given preferential parking spaces and lower charges.
A Defra spokeswoman said: "It may be that in a one-way system they have an extra lane in which electric vehicles can go against the traffic or that they have filter lanes at traffic lights."
According to the AA, eight out of 10 drivers support action on clean air. But Mr King said many drivers believed low-emission zones were just money-making schemes.
"Incentives for electric vehicles such as use of bus lanes or preferential parking are good short term catalysts, but when EVs become mainstream congestion will still be the big issue. We are still somewhat baffled as to how EVs can realistically be given priority at traffic lights," he said.
Councils with clean air zones are also expected to restrict access to older buses, coaches, taxis and lorries with emit high levels of gases such as nitrogen dioxide. Birmingham and Leeds also plan to extend restrictions to polluting vans.
This could mean a charging zone for commercial vehicles with high levels of emissions, or by introducing stricter licensing requirements for buses and taxis.
These charges and restrictions will not be applied to private cars or motorbikes, Defra said.
Registrations of new ultra-low emissions vehicles, such as plug-in electric cars, are rising sharply. Between April and June 2014, there were 2,738 electric vehicles registered compared with 9,657 in the same period this year - a rise of 250%.
A £35m plan to increase the use of electric vehicles was also launched by the Department for Transport, offering thousands more charging points across the country.

The fire service was called to the privately-owned Cosgrove Hall, near Milton Keynes, just before 14:30 BST.
BBC reporter Stuart Ratcliffe, speaking at the scene, said: "Only the stone shell of the building remains. There really is nothing else."
The fire at the 18th Century limestone mansion had been been brought under control by 17:15. There are no reports of any injuries.
At least six crews from Northamptonshire tackled the fire, helped by engines from Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
The cause of the blaze is not known at this stage.
Eight-year-old pupils at Forthview Primary in Edinburgh joined Nicola Sturgeon for the film.
Kezia Dugdale, the leader of Scottish Labour, used her Christmas message to welcome child refugees to Scotland.
Ruth Davidson, of the Scottish Conservatives, said she hopes Scots remember those in need this festive season.
Willie Rennie, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, hailed Scotland's response to the darkest moments of 2015, including the war in Syria and the Paris attacks.
"Where there is darkness there is also light," he said.
Ms Sturgeon recorded the video at a children's Christmas party that she hosted at her official residence earlier this month.
The first minister said: "The sound of excited children ringing round Bute House was a wonderful experience and there was no better opportunity to join in with them to wish everyone a very happy Christmas."
The film includes some behind-the-scenes footage during the launch of the first minister's charity Christmas card.
All sales of the cards will go to the four charities - Enable Scotland, Children 1st, Books Abroad and the Scottish Refugee Council.
Ms Dugdale, while welcoming refugees to Scotland, also praised the work of the armed forces and the emergency services.
She said: "From the Irish immigration of past centuries to the arrival of Syrians today, we have opened the doors of our nation to those seeking a better way of life.
"Those travelling halfway across the world need our support. They are ordinary people who don't want to live in fear of constant violence. They are families who just want to get on with their lives. They are children with hopes and dreams of a better way of life. We should welcome them into our communities with open arms.
"Christmas is also a time of year not only to help those in need but also to give thanks to those who do so much for our country. We pay tribute to our armed forces, particularly those involved in conflict right now. No matter our view of the decisions of government leaders, no one can doubt the bravery of those who serve our country.
"Those who work in our emergency services will also keep our hospitals open and streets safe in the next few weeks. They quietly go about their business all year round without much fuss. Now is the time of year to show our appreciation."
Ms Davidson, in her Christmas address, said the festive season can be a "cruel" time for some.
She said: "As we approach this time for celebration, many of us will be excited about giving and receiving presents, linking up with loved ones we haven't seen in too long, and probably eating and drinking more than is good for us.
"It's undoubtedly a special time of year, and one we rightly treasure.
"But for many others Christmas can also be cruel. Thousands across Scotland and the UK face difficulty on a daily basis.
"And if you're lonely, worried about your job, your marriage or relationship is in difficulty or you are suffering from bereavement, far from being the best time of year, Christmas can be the hardest.
"I hope everyone can find time to enjoy themselves, but also to make those precious couple of phone calls or visits to those who - at this time of year more than ever - need to hear a friendly voice or see a familiar face."
The Smoking Matters service in Dumfries and Galloway helped 102 people in deprived areas kick the habit in the past year - 251 below target.
Public Health Consultant Dr Andrew Carnon said the trend was being mirrored across Scotland.
He said many people saw e-cigarettes as a stepping stone to stopping smoking.
Nationwide figures have shown a similar trend to those in the south west of Scotland.
In 2013, the Information Services Division reported that the number of attempts to stop smoking had fallen by 13% compared with 2012.
That was the first decrease seen in recent years and it was also suggested this could be "partly explained" by the rise in the use of e-cigarettes.
Dr Carnon said that although there was still a lack of evidence about their effectiveness, the NHS might have to review and adapt its smoking cessation service in the future.
However, he said he believed that there would always be a need for support services in that provision.
"The position of e-cigarettes is at the moment not fully clear because they are so new there hasn't been all the research carried out," he said.
"We actually don't know at this stage just how effective they are in helping people to stop smoking.
"There is also a risk, potentially at least, that smokers may use them in certain settings where they are not allowed to smoke tobacco but without any intention of actually stopping smoking tobacco cigarettes."
He said that was clearly a case where they would not be of any benefit to a smoker's health.
"The third possibility, which again would not be a great one, is that people who don't smoke might feel that e-cigarettes are something that are much safer that they would like to try," he added.
"We just don't have the research evidence at the moment to say whether there is a risk that those people who might simply be experimenting with e-cigarettes might get drawn into using tobacco cigarettes at a later stage."
Dr Carnon said it was clear from research that people had the best chance of quitting with some support.
"It is not just about the nicotine replacement, it is not just about use of e-cigarettes," he said.
"It is actually about working with somebody to help you through the difficult process - because it's not easy to quit smoking.
"So really we would encourage people either to go to the smoking cessation service which is called Smoking Matters or to one of their local pharmacies who can help them or they can ask their GP if they would like some advice."
Resuming on 299-7, Stuart Meaker's unbeaten 35 helped Surrey post 367, a first-innings deficit of 34.
Surrey-bound opener Mark Stoneman then hit 92, but only four other Durham batsmen made double figures as Curran took three wickets in four balls.
Graham Clark was the best of the rest with 54 as Durham closed on 213-8.
Having played under lights all day, mist began to move in with 22 overs remaining, forcing umpires Neil Mallender and David Millns to take the players off - before then abandoning play for the day shortly after.
Stoneman and the also Surrey-bound Scott Borthwick both began the day within range of 1,000 runs for the season for the fourth year in a row.
Stoneman got to the milestone in a sixth-wicket stand of 109 with Clark, who improved on his career-best score.
But Borthwick failed, his dismissal for 12 leaving him on 957, sparking the collapse in which Durham lost four wickets to 18-year-old Curran in seven deliveries.
Former England paceman Graham Onions had earlier completed the 25th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket in the morning session, his first this season.
Victory for Durham would ensure survival, while a draw would leave them 19 points ahead of eighth-placed Hampshire, who they meet next week in the final game at Southampton.
Saturday's One-Day Cup finalists Surrey, playing their final Championship match of the summer, are now guaranteed to finish fourth regardless of the outcome.
Vote counting continues, but the head of Florida's Democratic Party issued a statement congratulating Mr Obama.
Aides to Mitt Romney were also quoted appearing to concede defeat.
Florida's vote cannot change the overall result, but the slow count has brought back memories of the bitterly contested recount in 2000.
The Sunshine State's famous "hanging chads" sparked a crisis in that year's Bush-Gore election, eventually leading to a Supreme Court ruling that installed George W Bush in the White House.
As of Thursday evening Mr Obama had a 0.7% lead in Florida - totalling more than 50,000 votes - but some ballots have yet to be counted.
The final result is expected by midday on Saturday, after three counties - Broward, Palm Beach and Duval - finish their tallies.
If the final difference in the number of votes for President Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney is below 0.5%, a recount would be automatically triggered.
But whatever the outcome, it matters little since the Democratic incumbent decisively won the national vote in the electoral college.
As the counting edged towards its end, party operatives in Florida began to concede the race would go to Mr Obama.
"On behalf of Florida Democrats, I wish President Barack Obama congratulations on his re-election and on winning Florida's 29 electoral votes," Florida Democratic Chair Rod Smith said.
"Florida Democrats ran the strongest, largest ground game this state has ever seen," he said, describing it as "appalling" that the state had been unable to report results two days after the election.
Republican officials also said they expected Mr Obama to eventually be declared the winner.
"We thought based on our polling and range of organisation that we had done what we needed to win," Brett Doster, a Florida adviser for Mr Romney, told the Miami Herald.
"Obviously, we didn't, and for that I and every other operative in Florida has a sick feeling that we left something on the table. I can assure you this won't happen again."
Florida Republican spokesman Brian Burgess told the Associated Press that "given the wave that we saw all over the country, we're glad that we gave them enough of a fight in Florida to prolong the battle here as long as we did".
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told reporters: "We feel we will be the official winner in Florida later today."
Counties must send preliminary results to the state by midday on Saturday.
Long queues were reported across the fourth most populous US state on Tuesday.
Some voters waited to cast ballots until 01:30 local time the next morning, after Mr Romney had already delivered his concession speech.
Tens of thousands of absentee ballots also arrived on election day.
In Broward County, Democratic Mayor John Rodstrom told the Miami Herald: "The big picture is that we have done this to ourselves," blaming a combination of all sorts of municipal, state and federal elections on one ballot.
"We have these tremendously long ballots now," he said.
The Sunshine State's problems began even before election day, with lengthy queues reported during the early-voting period.
Democrats launched a legal challenge against a Republican-backed measure to limit the period that voters could cast ballots before the election, from 14 days to eight.
They said it was a blatant attempt to suppress Democratic turnout - Florida's African-American voters have tended to cast ballots early in previous elections.
But Governor Rick Scott said the measure, passed by the state's Republican-controlled legislature in 2011, aimed to limit voter fraud.
The early-voting period officially ended last Saturday. Election supervisors in Miami-Dade and other counties did open up voting for several hours on Sunday.
But after being swamped by voters, one polling office in Miami-Dade County temporarily shut its doors. Some in line began to shout: "Let us vote!"
There was also a technical error with an automated phone system that told more than 12,500 voters in another county that the election was on Wednesday.
Florida was not alone in reports of lengthy election day lines. Voters waited for hours in states such as Virginia, New York and Washington DC.
Hadley won 15 caps for Canada between 1987 and 1994 and played at the 1991 World Cup, helping his country to their best-ever finish as they reached the quarter-finals.
Hadley captained the national side and played for Bedford and the Barbarians.
"Big Norm was a giant," said Al Charron, a former Canada team-mate. "He was a presence on and off the field."
"Norm was one of the funniest and smartest guys I have had the pleasure of playing rugby with," he added.
The stash was found by metal detector on private land in October 2012 by a man making his first survey.
The find is believed to be one of the largest Roman gold coin hoards buried in the UK.
The 159 coins date from the final years of Roman rule in Britain in the 4th Century and will go on display at Verulamium Museum from mid-September.
David Thorold, a curator at the museum, said: "Evidence suggests the coins were originally part of a hoard that had been disturbed at some point during the last couple of hundred years.
"During the Roman occupation of Britain, people buried coins for two reasons - either as a sacrifice to their gods or as a form of secure storage, with the aim of later recovery."
He said gold coins, known as solidi, were extremely valuable and not traded or exchanged on a regular basis.
Instead they were used for large transactions.
The coins, discovered by Westley Carrington during his first metal-detecting outing, were scattered across a wide area.
They were mostly struck in the Italian cities of Milan and Ravenna and issued under the Emperors Gratian, Valentinian, Theodosius, Arcadius and Honorius.
Richard Shwe, from St Albans City and District Council, said it had purchased the coins, found in the north of the city, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, St Albans Museums and Galleries Trust and an overseas benefactor, who wished to remain anonymous.
An inquest in July 2013 declared the hoard treasure, giving the museum the right to acquire them, and the value was decided by an independent committee at the British Museum.
The changes are to be introduced as part of "major and significant" investment by the Championship club's Malaysian owners.
The rebranding provoked disappointment and anger among some fans of the club, known as the Bluebirds.
But leading fan Gwyn Davies accepted the change, saying: "People have calmed down and had a think about it".
"If we've got to wear red that's part of the price we have to pay."
Until now, City have always played in a blue home strip with a bluebird crest. The blue kit will be retained, but only as the club's away colours.
The move follows fresh discussions between between club directors and Malaysian investors Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Dato Chan Tien Ghee, known as TG.
Chief executive Alan Whiteley said the rebrand was designed to help the Championship club expand its appeal.
The new investment package will also allow the club to resolve its longstanding debt with the Langston company, it revealed.
Money will be invested in a new training ground and facilities, the feasibility of expanding the club's stadium will be examined and the first team squad will also be boosted under the plans.
Mr Davies, of the Valley Rams supporters club, told BBC Wales he was relieved that the club had secured the investment, which would bring stability and progress.
He said he thought the "fuss" made by some supporters when the plan was first leaked last month might have frightened away the club's Malaysian investors.
"None of us want to change to red," said Mr Davies. "It's something we'll accept willingly because of the price that goes with it, and the benefits that will go with it."
He added: "The people against this colour change... I haven't seen a Plan B with them. I haven't seen a viable option. You know, [they must] come up with a viable option.
Mr Davies backed Mr Tan's investment.
"If this is part of his business plan and vision then we've got to accept that," he said. "His fingers will get burned, not ours, if it goes wrong.
"He's got the right business plan, and it's going to work and we're going to succeed, finally.
"We've been crying out for years for the investment and finally it's here."
Some fans remain opposed, however. One fan, Dan Buckley, wrote on Twitter: "I loved this football club. Truly loved it from the bottom of my heart. Words can't describe how gutted I am. Sickened".
Another, John Devlin, tweeted: "Having blue as away kit adds insult to injury".
Cardiff City Supporters' Trust said it welcomed the news about the proposed investment to the club but wanted more information about the level of investment in the club.
Trust chairman Tim Hartley said: "There are still questions that need to be answered such as what happens to the proposed investment if there is no deal over historical debts with Langston and how much will actually be invested and over what period.
"While we understand that the Malaysian owners desire to change the kit colour and badge, many fans will be disappointed by this."
Others have expressed their support, but principally on the basis of the investment going ahead.
"This whole episode strengthens the case for supporter representation on the board of the club, as happens at Swansea City."
Mr Hartley said the trust would meet on Wednesday night, monitor the reaction of its members and report back to the club.
Meanwhile, Cardiff council said it fully supported the club's decision.
Council leader Heather Joyce said: "I have spoken to Dato Chan Tien Ghee today to welcome the financial support that is being given to Cardiff City FC and he has outlined to me his commitment to the club and the city.
"I made it clear that the council appreciates the challenges the club will face in relation to some of the changes that need to be made but we will fully support what is being proposed.
"As a council we are business savvy and recognise the importance of this investment that the owners are putting in and the confidence that the club has in the city."
A 29-year-old man was held following the seizure of suspected cocaine and cannabis thought to be worth £35,000.
And a 26-year-old man was also arrested over suspected heroin with an estimated street value of more than £4,000.
Both men were taken into police custody and reports have been sent to the procurator fiscal.
Floodwaters in Ferngrove, Bury, partially submerged the cars at about 08:10 GMT following heavy rainfall.
Fire crews used an inflatable raft to rescue three men and a woman from two cars trapped in about 3ft (1m) of water.
Residents and motorists have been advised to avoid the area, which remains impassable.
The woman received treatment at the scene from ambulance staff.
A flood alert has been issued by the Environment Agency for the Lower River Irwell catchment, including areas in Greater Manchester.
The tour of Commonwealth nations and territories will span 388 days, 71 countries and 200,000 miles before reaching the host nation of Australia.
The baton will be carried on the Isle of Man by Commonwealth athletes and will visit the top of Snaefell, Tynwald Hill and a kipper factory.
The 2018 Games begin on 4 April on Australia's Gold Coast.
Events will be held around the Island giving residents the opportunity to see the baton and celebrate Team Isle of Man, said the Manx government.
The official route for the 2, 3 September is available online and will see the baton travel on the island's horse tram.
It will be officially welcomed by the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association's President Basil Bielich, the Chief Minister and CGA officials.
The Isle of Man has earned an impressive medal tally over the years with three gold, two silver and six bronze at the competition.
At the 2014 Games in Glasgow, cyclist Peter Kennaugh won a silver medal. in the men's 40km points race.
The island's last Commonwealth gold was won by Mark Cavendish at the 2006 Games in Melbourne.
The Queen has started the countdown to the 2018 Commonwealth Games, launching the baton relay at Buckingham Palace in March.
Planning permission was granted for 196,000 panels at the old RAF base in Faldingworth near Lincoln.
The solar farm, believed to be the largest in the UK, is expected to generate 50MW of electricity, enough to power the equivalent of 12,000 homes.
Last year, a similar sized farm in Leicestershire was switched on, which it was claimed was the UK's biggest.
The 370 acre (150 hectare) site was granted permission for 20,000 panels in 2011 but this week that was updated to create the larger farm which is expected to run for 30 years.
Chris Collett, the senior planner at Barton Willmore, the firm responsible for the planning application, said: "This under-utilised former airfield was an ideal site for solar energy because of the topography and limited visual impact.
"By providing clean energy to more than 10,000 homes it will make a significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions in Lincolnshire."
RAF Faldingworth was used during World War Two by Number 300 (Polish) Squadron, the first Polish-manned bomber squadron in the RAF.
It was then used to store nuclear weapons before it was decommissioned in 1972.
The application received one letter of opposition.
Haye, 36, has had surgery on an Achilles injury sustained in Saturday's heavyweight defeat by Bellew in London.
Coldwell, who once worked for Haye, said the ex-world heavyweight champion produced his "bravest performance" in fighting on while injured in the bout.
"He will always be someone I looked at and thought 'wow'," Coldwell said. "To see how it's turned out, it is sad."
Coldwell was head of boxing for Hayemaker Promotions from 2008 to 2011, a period during which Haye became WBA world heavyweight champion.
"I feel sorry for him," Coldwell told BBC Radio 5 live's boxing podcast.
"When I worked with [trainer] Adam Booth and David, he was at his best, a special athlete with special potential. I just wish him all the best now."
Coldwell was the target of insults from Haye in an acrimonious build-up to the Bellew bout, which ended with opposing trainer Shane McGuigan throwing in the towel to save a stricken Haye after he was put down in the 11th round.
Haye's future is unclear but on Monday he said he had been told by medical experts he could make "a 100% recovery back to full fitness".
Liverpool's Bellew could now defend his WBC cruiserweight title or fight for a second time at heavyweight, potentially against WBO champion Joseph Parker or Deontay Wilder, who holds the WBC title.
"I've said all along, he can't compete with 6ft 8in beasts like [IBF heavyweight champion] Anthony Joshua," Coldwell said. "Joseph Parker on the other hand, he's still learning, he's not the beast people said at the beginning."
Long, 23, made 123 appearances for the Blades having come through the club's academy system, but has not played in a first team game since November.
He has previously had loan spells with Oxford United and Motherwell.
"He came through with a lot of expectations at Sheffield United, but last season did not go according to plan," Dons boss Neal Ardley said.

Officers were called to Lickley Court, just off Perth's High Street, at about 20:10 on Wednesday following the sudden death of the woman.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said inquiries into the incident were continuing.
Reports on all sudden deaths are submitted to the procurator fiscal.
The current offices at Woodhill House in Aberdeen and Gordon House in Inverurie would be moved to a purpose-built facility at Harlaw in Inverurie.
Councillors instructed officers to negotiate a deal and a masterplan will be drawn up.
The aim is smaller, more flexible and cheaper offices.
Plans will also be considered to consolidate existing offices in Ellon and expand facilities in Stonehaven.
Aberdeenshire is the only local authority authority in Scotland to have its headquarters outside its boundary.
Helicopter flight operations to the Isles of Scilly would then move to Newquay.
A director of British International Helicopters (BIH) told BBC News earlier on Wednesday the company would not be taking bookings after 31 October.
BIH director Peter Sorby has now said the company is taking winter bookings.
Mr Sorby originally said it would be wrong to take bookings from people expecting to fly from Penzance then ask them to pay extra to fly from Newquay.
Now he has made it clear that BIH has been taking winter bookings since the start of May.
The helicopter firm has never made any secret that the millions it would gain from selling part of the heliport to Sainsbury's supermarket are vital for its future.
The money would be used to buy new helicopters and to bid for contracts to fly passengers to and from oil fields.
Mr Sorby said that did not mean everything would shut down if the planning permission was not granted.
BIH first wanted to go back to Land's End airport where it started life 40 years ago.
Locals living nearby were unhappy and the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company, which owns the land, rejected the idea.
BIH has now obtained the hanger at Newquay, though flying from Newquay to St Mary's and Tresco on the Isles of Scilly will never be the preferred option. It is more costly and takes longer.
Unlike flights to Scottish islands, the Cornish journeys are not government subsidised. They can only keep going if they are financially viable, unless the coalition government steps in.
BIH said it was determined to keep going and knew the helicopters were a vital link for the Isles of Scilly.
However the company insists much depends on how planners view the supermarket proposals for the present heliport.
It happened at about 01:40 BST on Saturday at the junction of Glebe Road and Upper Dunmurry Lane.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the crash.
Srgt Tom Donnelly said: "The driver of the car involved in the collision, a man in his sixties, was arrested and questioned but has since been released on police bail."
Stephen Thomas Hughes and his co-accused Shaunean Boyle are jointly charged with murdering Owen Creaney in Craigavon, County Armagh, in 2014
The 40-year-old victim was severely beaten in an attack at Mr Hughes' home.
Mr Hughes said Mr Creaney "wasn't making any noise" when they washed the injured man and changed his clothes.
The victim, from Lurgan, County Armagh, was attacked after he had been drinking with both of the accused at Mr Hughes' home in Moyrafety Court.
His wounded body was then carried up the stairs where he was showered and changed twice.
Mr Creaney died from his injuries two days later and his remains were then dumped into a green recycling bin.
Both Mr Hughes and Ms Boyle, from Edenderry Park in Banbridge, County Down, have said they were not involved in the attack the early hours of Thursday July 3, and have pointed the finger of blame at each other.
Giving evidence at Belfast Crown Court for the second day, Mr Hughes again denied he had assaulted Mr Creaney, saying that Ms Boyle had punched, kicked and stamped on the victim in the hallway of his home.
Mr Creaney's injuries included a total of 15 fractured ribs and a broken breastbone, as well as bleeding of and tearing to the brain.
A prosecuting barrister said being showered and changed twice must have been "agony" for the victim, as he had "several fractured ribs on both sides".
At this point, Mr Hughes said he did notice a bruise on Mr Creaney's chest the second time they changed him.
However, he added that Mr Creaney "wasn't making any noise" at the time.
"I honestly didn't know he had any broken ribs or anything," Mr Hughes told the court.
When he was asked about the state of Mr Creaney's face after the attack, the accused said he noticed the victim had "two black eyes and a wee cut to his lip" after Ms Boyle had washed him.
The prosecution barrister then asked Mr Hughes what he thought was going to happen to Mr Creaney's remains after they were placed in the bin.
"You knew you wanted to put him in the bin. What was going to happen next?"
Mr Hughes replied: "I can't give you a straight answer on that. I do not know."
The trial continues.
The world number 18, seeded third, battled from 4-0 down in the tie-break to take the first set.
The 22-year-old then twice broke the world number 10 in the second set before sealing victory with an ace.
Pouille has risen from a ranking of 78 this year, and reached the Wimbledon and US Open quarter-finals.
"I'm really happy to win my first title here. I played well from the beginning,'' said the new champion. "Now I can rest and get ready for the China Open next week in Beijing."
ABP Food Group is to take a 50% stake in Dungannon-based meat processor Linden Foods, which employs just over 1,000 people.
Existing owner Fane Valley Co-op will continue as a joint venture partner.
"The involvement of ABP will strengthen our global sales network," said Trevor Lockhart, Fane Valley chief executive.
However, the UFU greeted the news with caution.
"ABP taking a 50% stake in Linden Foods will cause some farmers alarm and raise questions about competition," said its deputy president Victor Chestnutt.
"It is early days, but ultimately we will judge the success of this new venture on the future producer returns for cattle and sheep."
The accident happened about five miles north of Luss at about 11:05.
Police said the black Honda motorbike was travelling north when it was involved in a collision with a Range Rover and a Vauxhaull Mokka.
The road was fully closed for about six hours and police have appealed for anyone with information about the crash to contact them.
Sgt Archie McGuire said: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank motorists caught up in the delays for their patience.
"I would appeal to anyone who saw a black Honda motorcycle travelling north along the A82 or witnessed the collision to contact police immediately.
"In particular, I would like to speak to the driver of a black 4x4 vehicle, possibly a Ford pickup truck, who was heading southbound on the road and may have witnessed the incident."
Keith Towler told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement show it was "frustrating" his replacement had not been chosen a month before he leaves.
Last year a panel failed to agree on the appointment and the selection process started again.
But Mr Towler added an announcement was expected very soon.
When asked why it had taken so long to appoint a new commissioner, Mr Towler replied: "I think you'll have to talk to Welsh government about that.
"It's quite frustrating from my point of view, and of course my team is as desperate as you to know who the next commissioner will be."
Mr Towler said the short handover period "was not great".
"My understanding is that we should get an announcement pretty shortly," he said.
"That would be great. If there's a gap between the end of my term and the beginning of the next term then my deputy will fill that gap.
"I don't think it'll be that long but... it's less than perfect but it is what it is, I guess, so you just have to work with it."
Last October the Welsh government said the reason the selection process had been halted was because of a cabinet reshuffle.
John Pugh, MP for Southport, said he planned to retire next month, but "did not bank on the prime minister's opportunism" in calling an election.
He said he did not want to work through "the nightmare chaos of Brexit" in the next parliament.
The local constituency party will now choose a new candidate from an all-woman shortlist.
Mr Pugh said in a statement: "I was going to announce my retirement from Westminster politics in my own time this May after what will be successful local elections."
He said he planned to continue in local politics, but felt it was "the right time to step down and begin a new chapter in my life".
Mr Pugh joins a number of MPs who have ruled out standing in the election on 8 June.
Former Chancellor George Osborne, who is also the editor of the Evening Standard, will not run again to be MP for Tatton.
He announced his plans in the newspaper, adding that he will be "fighting for that Britain I love from the editor's chair".
A number of Labour MPs have also confirmed they will not run following Tuesday's surprise announcement.
On Wednesday morning, both Andrew Smith, MP for Oxford East, and Iain Wright, MP for Hartlepool, confirmed they would not be running for re-election.
So the fact that Philip Hammond told me at the weekend that Hinkley "will go ahead" raises a whole host of possibilities, from the intriguing to the mundane.
For the sake of completeness, here is the full exchange between the chancellor and me when I interviewed him at the G20 summit in Chengdu, China, last Sunday.
Kamal Ahmed: "One of the big issues [in China/UK relations] is of course Hinkley. We could be very close to a final decision on that huge new nuclear power station in Somerset. Is the government still wholly committed to that plan despite the criticisms that it is far too expensive a way to provide energy for the UK?"
Philip Hammond: "The decision we are making about investing in new nuclear power infrastructure is a 50-year time horizon decision, this is not about looking at what prices are today. It is about thinking about our energy security needs over the next 50, 60 years. This decision is now in the hands of EDF, the French company which hopefully will be in a position to make a final investment decision over the next few days."
KA: "But the government still fully supports Hinkley?"
PH: "Yes, our hope is EDF will be able to come to a conclusion quickly and then we will be able to go ahead with this project."
Pretty definite.
So, what changed between that interview and the Hinkley "pause button" decision the government announced last night?
There are a number of options.
First, that whatever caused the government to pull on the hand brake and announce a further delay only became clear over the last few days.
That would suggest Number 10 concerns, rather than broader government worries, as issues often only reach the in-tray of the Prime Minister for final decision at the last moment.
Second, that Hinkley will indeed go ahead but the connected nuclear projects at Sizewell in Suffolk and Bradwell in Essex will be reassessed.
Under the present agreement, China would be in charge of the Bradwell project, and Theresa May's adviser Nick Timothy has previously raised concerns about security and Chinese investment.
Third, that this has been a policy "Horlicks", with Number 10, the Treasury and the business department unaware of what the other was thinking.
Fourth, the whole three power station project will go ahead and the deal will be signed-off in the autumn, simply a few more weeks of bureaucratic delay for a project that, it was claimed a decade ago, would be providing electricity to cook our Christmas dinner by next year.
If Hinkley C is providing electricity by 2025, many people will be surprised.
It seems that Number 10 agreed the idea of a review of Hinkley Point C "in the last few days" - which is the reason why Mr Hammond sounded so bullish about the plans last Sunday.
Although I am told there were "various discussions" about how to handle the Final Investment Decision when it came from EDF, nothing was finalised until the last minute.
Some might say that is almost like being caught off guard by the arrival of Christmas.
But, reassurance is the word that is being used by my sources.
Not cancellation - not yet anyway.
Theresa May is a new Prime Minister who doesn't want this deal to come back and bite her on the backside in a decade's time.
If the project does suffer cost overruns or does prove an eye-wateringly expensive way of providing energy, Mrs May wants to be able to say she went through a thorough process.
And not be the Prime Minister accused of rushing such a significant decision early in her tenure.
It was always the view in government that a final decision wouldn't be necessary until the autumn.
Indeed, the French finance minister, Michel Sapin, told me earlier in the year that was the plan.
Number 10 didn't want to be bounced by EDF pulling the investment decision forward - it wanted to stick to its own timeline.
My sources say that at this stage we should not over-interpret the review.
Yes, it raises questions, but abandoning Hinkley would mean a major change in energy policy.
Interestingly, the government's use of the phrase "all the component parts" in the review announcement does suggest that the Sizewell and Bradwell projects could be "decoupled" from Hinkley - and reassessed.
What we have learnt over the past 48 hours is that government is often hectic and last minute.
Which is never a good look for the outside world.
And that in the end, Number 10 calls all the big shots.
Whatever the Treasury may think.

The image of Davinia Turrell holding a gauze mask to her injured face came to symbolise the horror of the bombings.
Five years on, her facial scars are gone thanks to specialists at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
To show her gratitude she is backing the hospital's £50,000 fundraising appeal to help fellow burns victims.
The 29-year-old, who is now called Davinia Douglass after marrying last year, survived the fallout of the detonated bomb at Edgware Road station, but the "ball of fire" created in the carriage scorched the skin from the left side of her face.
Davinia told the Evening Standard: "I walked through the entire length of the train. I remember people screaming and sounding shocked as I walked through the back carriages.
"I didn't realise I was injured, I was still in shock. I remember telling people that I needed to get to work."
Photographers captured her as she was helped across the road to a makeshift A&E station by former fireman Paul Dadge while wearing the protective mask.
Mrs Douglass was subsequently treated at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital - the only hospital to offer a specialist burns service in London.
She said: "I went from being convinced that I would be seriously scarred for life and that my life would be ruined, to being hopeful that the medics who were looking after me would be able to put me back together as I had been before."
The hospital's appeal hopes to provide the unit with its own burns psychological screening programme to ensure all burns in-patients receive psychological assessment - something that was not previously available to Mrs Douglass.
The Chelsea and Westminster Health Charity has already raised £50,000 towards the £100,000 target needed to fund a clinical psychologist for two years.
Greg Williams, burns service lead at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "At present, patients with burns receive excellent care to ensure their physical recovery but we do not have the resources to provide psychosocial assessments for all the children and adults we admit.
"Were we to have a screening programme in place we feel strongly that we could identify potential psychological issues, address them early and help with recovery."
An unofficial ceremony was held in London's Hyde Park on Wednesday to mark the fifth anniversary of the 7 July bombings.
Survivors and families of those who lost their lives laid flowers by 52 steel pillars which represent those killed.
Half a kilogram of explosives was found under Mr Mir's car outside his home in the capital, Islamabad.
Police say it was a remote-controlled bomb, but it failed to go off.
The Taliban threatened Mr Mir and other journalists for their coverage of the militants' shooting of schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai last month.
She and two other girls were injured but survived.
In a phone call to the BBC Urdu service, a Taliban spokesman said they would target Mr Mir, who works for Geo News, a Pakistani private television channel, and other journalists in the future.
He said Mr Mir was promoting secular values, and criticising the Taliban.
"We have advised journalists to be moderate," the spokesman said. "If they don't understand our advice, we send our explosives or suicide bombers."
Mr Mir has spoken of receiving other threats in the past, some from Pakistan's powerful security agencies, the BBC's Orla Guerin in Islamabad reports.
Pakistan was recently ranked the deadliest country in the world for journalists - for the second year running - by the press freedom group Reporters without Borders.
North opted to bat but were unable to get a foothold, folding for 202 all out with Tom Curran taking three wickets.
But Malan and fellow South opener Daniel Bell-Drummond (92) had no such problem, reaching the total with more than 16 overs left to play.
The second of the three matches will be played on Sunday.
Malan, who was called up to England Twenty20 squad to face Sri Lanka in June but has yet to make his international debut, hit 16 fours and a six from 109 balls after being dropped in the third over off the bowling of Tim Bresnan.
After surviving that scare amid a probing early spell from Bresnan and Mark Wood, South kicked on with only Northampton spinner Graeme White able to slow the scoring.
The South's bowlers impressed earlier in the day with pace bowler Toby Roland-Jones and leg-spinner Mason Crane taking two wickets apiece. Steven Finn struggled however, conceding 43 runs for no wicket in his eight overs.
The three-match series is designed as a warm-up for county cricket's 50-over competition, the Royal London One-Day Cup, as well as helping players prepare for international cricket.
Eight players earned an automatic place on each team - with North represented by players from northern counties and South from southern counties - through the Professional Cricketers' Association's Most Valued Player ratings formula, while the remaining players were chosen by the England selectors.
The PCA MVP rankings system identifies the match-winners and key influencers of matches throughout the domestic season.
It takes into account conditions, quality of opposition, captaincy and strike rates as well as runs scored and wickets taken.
South are coached by England assistant Paul Farbrace, while bowling coach Ottis Gibson oversees the North squad.
The club currently plays at Blundell Park and has previously said its preferred site was Peaks Parkway.
North East Lincolnshire councillors are to assess the suitability of the sites in more detail.
The locations are: Europarc business park, Peaks Parkway, land next to Morrison's supermarket in Laceby, Great Coates, Dockside and Freeman Street.
The decision follows an independent survey which scored and ranked 16 venues, then shortlisted the final six.
Ray Oxby, leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said the search for a new stadium had "dragged on for far too long".
Mr Oxby said: "We must follow a strict and proper process to make sure we get the right result for the whole area.
"Failure to follow this process could result in more delays and ultimately more expense."
The findings are to be presented to senior councillors in 2016.
Coal exports will be slashed by about 60% under a strict new sales cap.
China agreed to the sanctions after months of negotiations with the United States following North Korea's fifth and largest nuclear test in September.
Exports of copper, nickel, silver, zinc and the sale of statues will also be banned.
The council unanimously approved the sanctions resolution.
As the reclusive country's primary ally, China has traditionally protected it diplomatically, fearful of what might happen if the government collapses. It has, however, grown increasingly impatient with its actions.
North Korea has been under UN sanctions since 2006 over its nuclear and missile programme.
Coal is North Korea's top export earner and diplomats say the export cap of 7.5m metric tonnes would cost it $700m (£562m) in lost earnings compared with 2015 sales. China is believed to be the only state that buys North Korean coal.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the sanctions sent an "unequivocal message that the DPRK must cease all the provocative actions and comply fully with its international obligations".
He added: "Sanctions are only as effective as their implementation."
Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN, admitted that "no resolution in New York will likely tomorrow persuade Pyongyang to cease its relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons".
But, she said, "unprecedented costs" were being placed on North Korea for defying the international community.
The resolution also blacklisted 11 more people and 10 entities said to be connected to North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programme, imposing a travel ban and asset freezes.
Vote Leave says its list of the 50 "most dangerous" EU citizens includes 45 who "went on to commit serious offences in the UK, including murder and rape".
In campaigners said the dossier was "scaremongering of the worst kind".
The Home Office said the UK was "safer" by being inside the European Union.
The two sides in the EU referendum debate have been trading blows over security issues, with debate intensifying following last week's Brussels attacks.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the leave campaign was trying to make security its big issue.
"In a way it is their own 'Project Fear'," he said, referencing the criticism levelled at the Remain campaign.
"They are trying to raise concerns about our personal safety and they view it as the counterweight to the Remain side's use of the economic arguments."
The in-out vote on the UK's EU membership takes place on 23 June.
Releasing the document on Tuesday, Vote Leave - one of the groups vying for an EU exit - said instead of refusing criminals entry into the UK, Britain had allowed EU judges to "hang out a welcome sign"
The list includes Latvian Arnis Zalkalns who is suspected of killing London schoolgirl Alice Gross in 2014. The builder, who had been convicted of murdering his wife in Latvia in 1998, later killed himself.
Under current rules, countries are entitled to consult previous police records but criminal convictions alone are not grounds for restricting the right to free movement.
Vote Leave said EU law did not require other EU countries to inform the UK of the criminal records of their citizens.
Chief executive Matthew Elliott said EU membership meant Britain had "lost control of our borders".
"Free movement of people has created free movement of criminals making the UK less safe and less secure. We've allowed EU judges to hang out a welcome sign to individuals the public would rightly expect never to be allowed into the UK," he said.
But Lucy Thomas, from pro-EU campaign group Britain Stronger In Europe, said: "This is scaremongering of the worst kind, particularly as Vote Leave accept that the alternatives to EU membership would include some free movement."
She added: "British security is stronger as part of the European Union, and leaving would put our security at risk."
Home Office Minister James Brokenshire said by being in the EU the UK was able to tackle cross-border crime, saying it had refused entry to almost 6,000 European Economic Area nationals since 2010.
He said the European Arrest Warrant had enabled people fleeing crimes in the UK to be brought to justice and said a vote to leave the EU "would bring inevitable uncertainty" in the fight against criminals "on the lookout for weakness and vulnerability".
Former Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer Julie Barnes-Frank died on Monday following a battle with cancer.
Ms Barnes-Frank, 56, campaigned throughout her 30-year career to make the force more inclusive.
Paul Martin of LGBT Foundation said she "was out on the front line" at a time "when LGBT equality was just a dream".
After joining GMP in 1979, Ms Barnes-Frank, from Stockport, helped found the Lesbian and Gay Staff Association (LAGSA) in 1999, offering advice and support to police staff.
Linda Barnes-Frank, 52, who married Ms Barnes-Frank in 2005, said she was always "committed heart and soul" to helping lesbian and gay people combat prejudice "not only in the police force but everywhere".
She said they met while both working for GMP in 1987 - a time when the force was still "a hostile environment" where being gay "was not the thing to be".
After "hearing of more and more officers having issues at work" with "nobody to speak to" the couple began campaigning for an organisation to provide help.
"It was quite a struggle to convince the force and prove there was a need for it," but with help from the Gay Police Association, they established LAGSA, she said.
"A lot has changed due to Julie's hard work and determination - today there's an embedded culture of respect for difference and greater equality," she added.
Smyth Harper, LGBT Foundation chair, said Ms Barnes-Frank was "instrumental" in transforming GMP from "a service notorious for its prejudice against LGBT to one that is now perhaps one of the most open and accepting police services in world".
She was one of the first officers to march in the Pride parade in London in 2003, hailed as a crucial moment marking changes in police attitudes toward the gay community.
Ms Barnes-Frank was "proud" to be "breaking down barriers" between police and the gay community at the march, Linda Barnes-Frank said.
Following her retirement in 2009, she was awarded the first Alan Turing Memorial Award for her work to tackle discrimination by the LGBT Foundation and Manchester City Council.
Councillor Kevin Peel, who presented her with the award in 2012, said she was "a trailblazer... and a true inspiration to the LGBT community in Manchester and beyond".
Mr Martin said she was an inspirational, "charming yet determined" activist who was admired be her peers and her "passing so early is very sad".
"At a time when LGBT equality was just a dream, Julie was out on the front line, quietly and oh-so-politely ensuring that LGBT police officers and staff were treated fairly, and with dignity and respect.
"She has played an important part in our community's history. Her legacy is a GMP that is more inclusive and equitable of LGBT people."
A statement from GMP Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said she "supported countless colleagues through LGBT issues" and was "widely respected and well liked".
"[Julie] worked tirelessly to change policy, to prevent bullying and gain acceptance for LGBT staff but always in a fair, balanced and practical way," he said.
Real head into the game three points ahead of their deadly rivals, and with a game in hand. Victory would therefore leave them six points clear with Barca, having just five games to make up the difference - and the gap would effectively be seven points because Real would also have head-to-head advantage, which is used to separate teams level on points in La Liga.
The home team could be without Gareth Bale, who was substituted in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich with a calf injury and has not played since.
The most likely replacement for the Welsh star, if he is not fit to start after returning to training on Thursday, is Isco. The gifted and versatile attacking midfielder's outstanding recent form has suggested he is poised to finally achieve something he has never quite managed during his four seasons at the Bernabeu: becoming a firm fixture in the starting line-up.
That, of course, could have other significant ramifications because it would mean somebody else - perhaps even Bale - losing their place in the team.
Is Isco ready to shift the balance of power among the galaxy of stars at the Bernabeu? Let's find out more about a player who was once Spain's boy wonder but is still waiting to fulfil his enormous talent.
Having started his career with Valencia, making his debut in 2010 at the age of 18, Francisco Roman Alarcon Suarez - generally known simply as Isco - rose to prominence after moving to his hometown team Malaga in the summer of 2011.
Alongside ageing stars such as Javier Saviola, Joaquin and Roque Santa Cruz, he played a key role as Malaga, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, marched to the 2012-13 Champions League quarter-finals, where they were unlucky to be knocked out after conceding two injury-time goals to Borussia Dortmund.
Isco's performances in that campaign saw him win the Golden Boy award for the best young player in Europe, and he also shone at international level by winning the 2013 European Championship with an outstanding Spain Under-21 team also containing Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, Atletico Madrid's Koke and current Real team-mate Alvaro Morata.
He was clearly too good to stay at Malaga, and in the summer of 2013 Real Madrid beat Manchester City, who had just recruited Pellegrini, in the race for his signature, splashing out 30m euros (£23m at the time) to secure his services on a five-year contract and make him the first signing for newly appointed manager Carlo Ancelotti.
At first Isco settled into life at the Bernabeu superbly, scoring the winner on his debut against Real Betis and quickly following up with a brace in another home win against Athletic Bilbao. The world seemed to be at his feet… but not for long.
Soon after Isco's arrival at the Bernabeu, a problem emerged - and that problem was called Gareth Bale, who was signed a few weeks later for a world record fee of 100m euros (£85m at the time) and needed to be accommodated in the team.
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema also guaranteed starters, Ancelotti had a serious selection issue on his hands. How could he field the Galacticos, whose status was untouchable without leaving his team unsustainably imbalanced?
The answer he eventually settled on, reluctantly, was omitting attacking midfielder Isco, who found himself gradually transformed from being Spain's brightest young talent into a peripheral presence whose only real hope of starting big games was somebody else being injured.
That led to a long and frustrating parade of endless ups and downs for Isco, whose silky ball skills made him hugely popular with fans both at the Bernabeu and around Spain, with the admiration he inspired most clearly evident in February 2015 when he played so well at Elche that even the home fans gave him a standing ovation.
Despite occasional flashes of brilliance, Isco was never quite able to permanently supplant any of the Galacticos from the starting line-up, and his frustration was encapsulated in Barcelona's last trip to the Bernabeu in November 2015: having been introduced from the bench by Rafael Benitez and with his team losing 4-0, he took a violent swipe at Neymar, deservedly earning a straight red card.
For much of the current campaign, it appeared Isco's inability to fulfil his immense potential at the Bernabeu would force him out. Indeed, in February he revealed he was considering leaving Real in the summer because of his failure to gain more starts, admitting: "My future is at stake."
Controversially, one of the clubs heavily linked to his signature after that announcement was Barcelona, with a flurry of stories in the Spanish media speculating that Isco could follow Luis Figo, Samuel Eto'o and current Barca boss Luis Enrique by representing both clubs - a move which would make a fair amount of sense because he is perhaps the most natural heir to Barca's slowly fading captain Andres Iniesta.
But since then, Isco has been superb, especially last weekend at Sporting Gijon where he scored two brilliant goals, including a last-minute winner, to secure a 3-2 victory and keep his team top going into Sunday's Clasico.
That performance was rapturously received. Writing in Marca, Roberto Palomar was sufficiently moved to claim: "It's been a long time since we have seen such a recital from a player who wasn't Messi." Presumably he meant Messi the Barcelona player, rather than Messi, Isco's pet dog.
Tellingly, Palomar also argued that Bale's latest calf injury is "a solution, not a problem," because it means Isco can play - something many Real fans would love to see happen on a more regular basis.
Whether manager Zinedine Zidane feels the same way remains to be seen, but there's a growing sense that the long-standing policy of the 'BBC' front line (Bale, Benzema and Cristiano) automatically starting big games whenever they are available is facing a serious challenge.
And Isco, whose nine league goals this season put him level with Benzema and two ahead of Bale, could finally be ready to come of age.
Despite last weekend's heroics, Isco is by no means guaranteed to start this weekend's Clasico because Zidane has several outstanding options.
They include hard-working winger Lucas Vazquez, Colombian ace James Rodriguez and fast-rising 21 year-old Marco Asensio, whose brilliant solo goal in Tuesday's Champions League victory over Bayern Munich underlined the impression that he is a major star in the making.
Indeed, the luxury of riches at Zidane's disposal reveals one of the key factors behind Real's edge over Barca in this season's title race: the gulf in squad depth at the two clubs.
Whereas Zidane can call upon two top-class performers in nearly every position, Barca coach Luis Enrique suffers from a serious drop-off in quality whenever one of his first team is injured or in need of a rest.
Barca's problems in that respect were first identified early in the season, when Enrique rested several players at home to newly promoted Alaves and his team lost 2-1, and the same pattern has re-emerged throughout the season.
The case of Andre Gomes is striking, with three of Barca's four league losses coming when the Portugal international was named in the starting line-up, while frontman Paco Alcacer has only scored five goals all season compared to 17 from Real's back-up striker Morata.
Zidane doesn't have such problems, and Sunday's Clasico could give the best of the Frenchman's 'reserves', Isco, the chance to shine. If he does, this time he might stay in the team for good.
Imagine you could pick from the combined squads of Barcelona and Real Madrid - tasty but testing. Who would you choose?
He is joined by high jumpers Robbie Grabarz and Chris Baker, who makes his global championship debut.

The two teams meet at Hove on Friday with the hosts needing to win to avoid a fourth group-stage elimination in five years.
"They're coming on to our patch and we'll be looking to dominate," England all-rounder Jordan told BBC Sussex.
"We've been playing some good cricket at Hove. Nothing less than two points will do."
Sussex were beaten by Surrey on Sunday, largely thanks to Aaron Finch's 114 from 64 balls, which has left the Sharks' qualification from a very competitive South group in the balance.
Glamorgan and Hampshire lead the way but five teams - including Essex and Sussex - are locked on 12 points.
But Jordan insists he and his team-mates remain confident of overcoming their inconsistency to finish in the top four.
"We still believe we have some momentum," he said.
"We can look back at one or two games we should have closed out and put ourselves in a stronger position. But that's the past now, we have to look forward.
"The whole group is very competitive, everyone is playing some very good cricket and on the day anyone can beat anyone.
"We can't look at other results, we've just got to look at ourselves."
The body of the woman was found at Tower Link in the town.
Fire crews were called to the scene shortly after 18:00 BST on Monday.
Police said they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.
Dermot Rooney of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said three fire engines and his officers attended the scene.
"On arrival they discovered there had been a small fire in the premises," he added.
"Unfortunately, a middle-aged lady has lost her life.
"There did not appear to be anyone else in the house, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation."
German Petkovic punished the 23-year-old's faltering serve to win in an hour and 24 minutes in Toronto.
Defeat meant Watson missed out on a rematch with Serena Williams, whom she came close to beating at Wimbledon.
Wimbledon finalist and eighth seed Garbine Muguruza lost 7-5 6-1 to Ukrainian qualifier Lesia Tsurenko.
Romanian second seed Simona Halep reached the third round by beating former world number one Jelena Jankovic 6-3 6-4.
However, third seed and former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova lost 6-2 6-3 to two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka from Belarus.
Fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki was beaten 7-5 7-5 by Belinda Bencic of Switzerland and seventh seed Lucie Safarova lost 4-6 7-5 7-5 to Russia's Daria Gavrilova.
Clifford Irons, 39, is from Castlemara Drive in the town.
A police officer told the court in Belfast that the two guns were found in a car which, he said, the police could link to Mr Irons.
The police officer said the case was linked to a feud involving the UDA in east Antrim.
He told the court that Mr Irons was "heavily involved in this".
The officer said the guns were loaded and a bullet in one of them was "doctored" to have more effect.
The police officer also said that during a search of a house, they found a bag of balaclavas and gloves along with a notebook of "things to do".
A solicitor for Mr Irons challenged how the police could link the defendant to the guns.

Although routine in the end, it was an important victory for Tottenham having lost two of their previous three home league games to fall away slightly from the leading trio of Arsenal, Leicester and Manchester City.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are now unbeaten in their past 12 league games against Sunderland, although in 11 of them they have been level at half-time.

It was difficult to fathom how that was the case on Saturday as they totally dominated the opening 45 minutes, enjoying 70% possession and 15 shots to the visitors' three.
Dutch left-back Van Aanholt, who netted against Swansea on Wednesday, beat Hugo Lloris at his near post from Adam Johnson's pass to give Sunderland an underserved lead.
Spurs were level within 91 seconds as Lee Cattermole could only deflect Eriksen's shot into the roof of the net on the goalline after Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford - making his Premier League debut - saved from Kane.
Dembele's low left-foot shot gave Spurs a 2-1 lead and they noticeably relaxed from that point, stretching away thanks to Eriksen's second and Kane's 12th league goal of the season.
Despite being on the back foot throughout, Sunderland had looked relatively secure for almost an hour and occasionally threatened on the break.
Buoyed by successive league wins over Aston Villa and Swansea, they largely restricted Spurs to shots from outside the box in the first half.
Their failure to protect their lead until half-time proved costly, although former Spurs striker Jermain Defoe - who had scored five in his previous two games - had a chance to restore it early in the second half.

He and Adam Johnson raced clear of the home defence but the counter-attack lost momentum and the 33-year-old fired into the side-netting.
Centre-half Kirchhoff, signed from Bayern Munich, had only made one appearance this season prior to joining Sunderland this month.
He struggled after coming on in the 58th minute, with the foul on Rose for the penalty demonstrating how much he was off the pace.
Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce said of Kirchhoff: "It's a bit risky signing players from abroad in January but we have to take that risk. Hopefully he learns from today."
Sunderland keeper Pickford spent the first half of the season on loan at Championship club Preston and Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce said it would have been wrong not to recall him as he "made such an outstanding impact".
Allardyce hopes he can follow England Under-21 international predecessors Joe Hart and Jack Butland in graduating to the full national team and, despite conceding four goals, he made an impressive league debut, replacing Vito Mannone.
The 21-year-old, who has been on loan at six different clubs over the past four years, made superb saves at full stretch in the first half to deny Kane and Eriksen.
Pickford made further stops from Kane and Rose in the second period and was not at fault for any of the goals.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino told BBC Sport: "It was a good response to the Leicester defeat. I'm very pleased. We need to be patient.
"We had a lot of shots on target - their goalkeeper was fantastic. I feel very pleased in the last few games. The belief is fantastic. We have a very good, strong squad - today was a good example."
Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce told BBC Sport: "Our players put themselves in one fantastic position and then in the space of a minute conceded. It's one of the reasons we ended up losing.
"If we came in at half-time 1-0 up we could have built on that. It was a really sloppy thing to do. We ran out of legs in the end. In the last quarter, physically we were tiring.
"I changed the shape but that didn't work. The scoreline, 4-1, looks more comfortable than it was."
On Jordan Pickford: "Playing a keeper at a young age is not an easy decision to make. But I thought he handled it well. He might not play too many more games this season because Vito Mannone has done a fantastic job. The rest of the team up to 65 minutes were doing the job right but in the last 20 they failed miserably."
Tottenham travel to Leicester for an FA Cup third-round replay on Wednesday (19:45 GMT), which is live on BBC One, before a league trip to Crystal Palace next Saturday (15:00 GMT). Sunderland host fellow strugglers Bournemouth on the same day (15:00 GMT).
The Higher Education Policy Institute says the potential impact of low loan repayments decades ahead is beginning to affect universities' budgets now.
The government says the Treasury will share any extra costs with the business department over a 30-year period.
And this will protect other parts of its budget from unexpected pressures.
The introduction of higher £9,000 tuition fees in 2012 - funded up-front by government-backed loans - led to concern about the sustainability of the funding system in the longer term.
The higher the fees, the bigger the loans and therefore the larger the up-front payment by the government.
And the scale of the sums being loaned out and the length of time graduates have to repay them, along with predictions about the economy and wages, lead to many uncertainties about how much will be recouped.
The government initially predicted, in 2010-11, that it would lose 28% to 30% of the money it lent to students. This rate is known as the resource accounting and budgeting (RAB) charge.
The then Universities Minister, David Willetts, dismissed concerns about potentially huge losses from unpaid loans as too far in the future to have any impact on current university funding.
But by autumn 2013, the RAB charge was predicted to be 35%, and by early 2014 to 45%.
However, author of the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) report Andrew McGettigan said changes imposed by the Treasury in 2014 meant the sustainability of the current undergraduate fee-loan regime was no longer an academic question about what happened after 2045.
"Budgetry pressures arise today," he said.
The Treasury had imposed a new settlement requiring the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to improve repayment rates from 55p per pound loaned to 65p per pound, or see its spending cut year-on-year, he said.
He added: "Uncertainty surrounds the estimations of future graduate repayments, but their estimated value has deteriorated markedly in recent years.
"This decline generated a major challenge for the [Department for Business, Innovation and Skills] budget, which has faced a cumulative shortfall of perhaps £10bn over the last four years.
"Unplanned cuts for 2015-16 were only averted by changing retrospectively the accounting and budgeting conventions for student loans in 2013-14."
Mr McGettigan said it was likely the business department would continue to freeze tuition fees at £9,000 - eroding their value to universities - and tighten up graduate-repayment terms by freezing the repayment threshold at £21,000 from 2017.
This would effectively lower the salary level at which repayments start, because of inflation.
He added: "These are two things within its power that would control levels of loan repayment and bring estimates of non-repayment towards the target."
Universities UK has also been looking at the issue of reducing the cost of student loans, but it is unlikely to welcome the fixing of tuition fees, which would result in a cash freeze to undergraduate income.
A Treasury spokesman said: "The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Bis) and HM Treasury introduced an arrangement to share any additional costs of student loans over a 30-year period.
"This will enable Bis to afford any additional costs that may arise without having a significant impact on other parts of its budget."
National Union of Students president Toni Pearce said: "This report yet again highlights the utter shambles which was the last government's trebling of tuition fees.
"It would be outrageous to now suggest that students should now be forced to pay for this through any change to the student loan terms and conditions, and students and their families simply would not stand for it."
Emergency services were called to the incident in Llanberis, Gwynedd, close to the Snowdon Valley Mountain railway line, at 08:30 BST on Sunday.
North Wales Police said a "multi-agency response" is under way. Police, Llanberis Mountain Rescue, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service and the ambulance service are all at the scene.
The incident is currently ongoing.
The 26-year-old will miss Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge as well as games against Aston Villa and Everton.
The Football Association charge, which Costa denied, related to an incident in the 12th minute of Tuesday's League Cup semi-final second leg in London.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho said the incident was "absolutely accidental".
Costa, a £32m signing from Atletico Madrid, has scored 17 goals in 19 Premier League games this season.
The incident, which occurred in front of the dugouts but was missed by the match officials, was subsequently reviewed on video by referee Michael Oliver.

Police detained hundreds of migrants near the western town of Ayvacik, a main crossing point to Greece, according to the Anadolu news agency.
Among those detained were Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian and Afghani migrants as well as some suspected smugglers.
The move comes hours after Turkey and European leaders struck a deal to control the flow of migrants to Europe.
The detainees were sent to a repatriation centre where some could face deportation.
Campaign group Amnesty International said in a statement the move is "illegal as it is unconscionable".
"In the wake of this weekend's EU-Turkey migration talks, it's a stain on the EU's conscience too," said Andrew Gardner, Amnesty's Turkey researcher.

According to the deal with the EU, Turkey will receive €3bn (£2.1bn) and political concessions in return for clamping down on its borders and keeping refugees in the country.
However, concessions will only be made if Turkey meets certain conditions.
More than 720,000 migrants have arrived in Europe on Greek shores so far this year, the International Organization for Migration says, with most arriving from Turkey.
Many are fleeing conflict in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and lived in makeshift camps in Turkey before their journey.
The so-called Islamic State (IS), which has contributed to the instability in Syria and Iraq that many migrants are fleeing, was placed on Turkey's official list of terrorist organisations in 2013.
The state-run Anadolu Agency reported on Monday that Turkey has since detained 2,627 suspected IS members.
Communities Secretary Carl Sargeant said Rent Smart Wales (RSW) had taken longer than usual to respond to some calls and emails.
RSW requires landlords to register or become licensed by Wednesday.
He said landlords who have started the process will not face action "if they have done all they can to comply".
The Welsh Government estimated there were between 70,000 and 130,000 private landlords in Wales.
It said that by midnight on Monday more than 55,000 had registered, and another 12,000 had started the registration process.
More than 81,000 users had created accounts and were involved in the process of complying, it added.
Those who do not comply could face fines.
Registering as a landlord costs £33.50 if completed online and £80.50 on paper, irrespective of the number of properties.
Mr Sargeant said: "Recent months have seen a huge rush to register.
"As a result, Rent Smart Wales has taken longer than usual to respond to some calls and emails.
"I appreciate this has caused concern for some landlords who haven't been able to complete the registration and licensing process."
He said: "Rent Smart Wales has said that those who have started the process to comply will not face enforcement action if they have done all they reasonably can to comply.
"But, this must not be seen as an excuse to ignore the law. My message to private landlords is clear. You must take action to comply with the requirements of the law."
In the Senedd last week, Mr Sargeant denied accusations by Conservative economy spokesman Russell George that Rent Smart Wales was in "chaos" with staff "completely overwhelmed" by demand.
He also rejected a call by Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy to extend the deadline for registration.
Combat Stress said referrals for ill mental health or post-traumatic stress disorder rose from 1,802 to 2,264.
It said an increase in veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan seeking help was the main reason for the rise.
The charity said it wanted to increase its clinical resources to meet the rising demand.
Combat Stress said it believed those who had fought in recent conflicts were now coming forward for treatment sooner, but there remained a stigma surrounding ill mental health.
Dr Walter Busuttil, director of medical services at the charity, said: "We are very concerned at the significant rise in those coming forward with military PTSD.
"It is the biggest increase we have seen in recent years and we expect it to continue so we want to build up our clinical services accordingly.
"The recent Budget announcement of increased funding for NHS veterans mental health services is helping but as the need for specialist treatment appears to be expanding we will we need additional funding and resources."
Combat Stress currently works with more than 5,900 ex-servicemen and women from all conflicts since World War Two - a figure it said was higher than at any time since it was founded in 1919. The youngest veteran it works with is 18.
Of those the charity works with, 1,185 served in Iraq and 971 served in Afghanistan.
On average it takes veterans more than 13 years from the time they leave military service to seek help from the charity.
Combat Stress helps veterans with conditions such as PTSD, depression and anxiety using a range of measures, from intensive specialist programmes to short-stay clinical treatments.
Funding for the charity's six-week intensive treatment programme is currently funded by the NHS.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) food price index found prices had increased by 10% year on year and 2.9% on August.
However, it stressed prices remained "relatively low" and the outlook for the global food market was "stable".
"A lot of the September increase has to do with sugar," said FAO senior economist Abdolreza Abbassian.
The FAO's index measures the monthly changes in price of a basket of commodities, including meat, dairy products, cereals, vegetable oils and sugar.
It averaged 170.9 points in September, up 2.9% on August and representing the highest value since March 2015.
Sugar surged 6.7% between August and September, it said, largely because of unfavourable weather conditions in Brazil, the world's largest producer and exporter.
Meat, dairy and vegetable oil prices also increased, but cereal prices declined slightly.
Mr Abbassian told the BBC that he expected prices to continue rising in the coming months, "albeit slowly".
"Price rises are always good for farmers but not so good for consumers," he added.
The FAO said that the overall price rises should be seen in the context of record highs reached in 2011 and 2012.
It added that global food markets were likely to remain "generally well balanced" in the year ahead, as prices for most internationally traded agricultural commodities were "relatively low and stable".
"The benign outlook... is poised to lower the world food import bill to a six-year low," it said.
BBC England contacted 160 authorities responsible for highways in England, 64 of whom had bus lane cameras.
Motoring organisation, the RAC, said the cameras had become a "cash bonanza" for local authorities.
Councils say cameras are clearly signed and they expect income to fall as drivers learn to stay out of the lanes.
In total, the local authorities revealed an estimated combined income of £31m for 2015-16. The figure is likely to be higher as some councils were unable to break down figures by individual cameras or lanes.
The most lucrative bus lane in England is on the northbound section of John Dobson Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The council revealed that between 23 February and 31 October 2016 it resulted in 62,975 penalty charge notices, making a total of £1.5m, equivalent to £5,960 a day.
About 5,100 drivers caught in the first two months were then given refunds after it was found that signs were "inadequately lit" during the hours of darkness.
Drivers and opposition councillors have said the road layout is "confusing".
However, Newcastle City Council stressed bus lane cameras were not there to make money and the number of fines had dropped "dramatically" over the past year.
A spokeswoman said the bus lane was correctly signposted.
She said: "Each year, nine million bus passengers travel along John Dobson Street, where services have seen a 14 per cent improvement in journey time reliability since enforcement started.
£130
in Greater London
£60
outside London
£65 in Greater London if paid within 14 days
£30 discounted rate for early payment outside London
"We would firmly stress that bus lanes are not there to generate income - they are there to help us to manage our road networks efficiently."
In Wolverhampton, a camera installed to stop people using a bus lane as a short cut was making on average £4,750 a day.
The council said people had been misusing the lane when coming in and out of the rail station but that it expected the number of fines to fall following a recent change in the road layout.

RAC spokesman Simon Williams said: "Bus lane cameras are fast becoming a new 'cash bonanza' for councils. The amount of money being raised by them in fines is frightening.
"Rather than just rubbing their hands together and taking the money councils should be asking questions as to why so many motorists are being caught driving in bus lanes."
The suit alleges the Airline Training Center of Arizona (ATCA) failed to properly screen Andreas Lubitz.
In March last year Lubitz locked the plane's captain out of the cabin before ploughing it into the Alps. All 150 people on board were killed.
He had struggled for many years with mental health problems.
Investigators found that weeks before the crash a doctor had urged him to attend a psychiatric hospital but his employer was never alerted.
Lubitz received training at the ATCA, owned by Germanwings' parent company Lufthansa, from 2010-2011.
The lawsuit, filed in Phoenix, Arizona, alleges the school was negligent in admitting him by failing to discover his medical history.
Lubitz's past made him a "suicide time bomb, triggered to go off under the ordinary stresses of life, particularly the kind of stresses a commercial pilot routinely faces", Marc S Moller, a lawyer with the firm that filed the suit, said in a statement.
Families of 80 of the victims are involved in the legal bid, which also involves lawyers in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.
A spokeswoman for Lufthansa said the action had "no chance of success". The school is yet to comment.
FamiliesVictim's families last year called an offer of compensation from the German-based carrier "insulting".
A suit in the US offers a potentially higher payout that one in Europe, but analysts queried whether it would succeed given the crash happened overseas and did not involve an American airline.
McAuley Precision and McAuley Fabrication are expanding resulting in the creation of the skilled manufacturing jobs.
Invest NI chief executive Alastair Hamilton said the jobs would be created over the next four years.
He said it was "positive news" for Ballymoney and the "local manufacturing industry".
McAuley Precision and McAuley Fabrication supply machine and sheet metal components for the transportation, oil and gas and aerospace industries.
Invest NI has offered McAuley Precision £500,000 and McAuley Fabrication £120,000 to support their growth plans.
A total of 57 jobs will be created at McAuley Precision, with the remaining 30 positions being recruited at McAuley Fabrication. It is understood 23 of the 87 new jobs are already in place.
Jonathan McAuley, managing director of McAuley Precision and McAuley Fabrication, said the investment signalled a "major milestone" in its growth strategy and would help to cement their "reputation as credible suppliers in our target markets".
"The international aerospace and transportation sectors are particularly important growth areas for us and working with Invest NI we aim to scale up our workforce and manufacturing capabilities to secure work within these valuable supply chains," he added.
"Our investment activities in the coming months will involve upgrading our manufacturing area, investing in our IT systems and new machinery as well as implementing a robust business development and marketing strategy to target new customers."

Natalia Fedorova was leaving her house when a man splashed the substance in her face and ran away, Moscow party branch head Sergei Mitrokhin said.
She had lost vision, but may regain her sight in time, he told Interfax.
He said he believed the attack was related to her campaign against property development in her area.
Mr Mitrokhin wrote in a tweet that the attack had taken place in Cheremushki, a suburb of Moscow.
Ms Fedorova had been taken to hospital with burns to her face and eyes, he later told Interfax news agency.
"She's a Yabloko member, but I don't think this is the reason. This is more likely to be a reaction to her campaigning," Mr Mitrokhin was quoted as saying.
"She's had her windows shot at already, and a coffin has been placed at her door," he said.
It comes a day after Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was taken to hospital after antiseptic green dye was splashed on his face in Moscow.
It was the second time he has been attacked with zelyonka ("brilliant green" in English) this year.
The dye is a common antiseptic in Russia and has been used in protests there and in Ukraine.
It is not clear who carried out the latest attack, which happened near the offices of the Anti-Corruption Fund (FBK) that he founded.
Mr Navalny is one of the foremost Russian critics of President Vladimir Putin and has announced his intention to run for president himself.
It was taken from the top of the monument honouring poet William Henry Ogilvie some time between 27 July and 24 August.
The cairn is situated next to the B711 in the Horn Hill area between the villages of Roberton and Ashkirk.
Police said they were keen to return the "distinctive item" to its "rightful place".
"I'd urge anyone who may have information on its current whereabouts to get in touch," said PC Lesley Shiell.
"Likewise, anyone who may have seen any suspicious behaviour in the area during this time is asked to come forward."
Ogilvie was born in 1869 near Kelso but moved to Australia in 1889 before returning to Scotland in 1901.
He published numerous poetry collections and enjoyed great popularity in both countries.
He died on 30 January 1963 at Ashkirk near Selkirk.
Mr Mckeague, 23, based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds on 23 September.
He was last spotted on CCTV walking alone in Brentgovel Street at 03:25 BST the next day.
Suffolk Police closed one lane of the eastbound A14 between the Moreton Hall and Rougham junctions.
It remained coned-off from 10:00 until just after lunchtime.
Their search was due to cover a mile-and-a-half stretch of the road.
Over the past few weeks officers have been carrying out extensive work to locate Mr Mckeague, originally from Dunfermline in Fife.
Detectives believe he stopped for a brief nap in a doorway before setting off to walk the nine miles (15km) back to the RAF Honington base alone.
Police said dozens of people have been spoken to and hundreds of lines of inquiry followed up but are still urging anyone with information to come forward.
A trace on his mobile phone, which has not been found, showed it was in Bury St Edmunds early on 24 September but then moved to the Barton Mills area.
Facebook and Twitter pages have been set up appealing for information to help the police inquiry.
A police spokeswoman said today's lane closure was a follow-up to a "potential line of inquiry", but it had provided no new information to the missing person inquiry.
Morrisons is renegotiating its plans for the former cattle market site with Monmouthshire council, after missing a payment deadline earlier this year.
Council deputy leader Bob Greenland said the £15m price tag would not be substantially dropped.
But campaigners opposed to the development said it is time to rethink the plan.
Abergavenny's historical cattle market was controversially moved to a new £5m facility 10 miles (16km) away in 2013, leaving the town centre site derelict.
Local resident Barry Greenwood, who was a member of the Keep Abergavenny Livestock Market (KALM) campaign, wants the council to rethink about selling the site to Morrisons.
"There was a proposal here, very early on, for a mixed development - some retail, some housing and possibly a cinema, which would benefit the whole town," he said.
"I think the failure of this contract was an ideal opportunity for the council to say 'right Morrisons, thank you very much, off you go, we will rethink the position'.
"Things have changed a lot since the original plans - the financial crash, now we've got Brexit and who knows what that means."
Mr Greenland argued negotiating small changes to the original plans would prevent further delays and maintained that a new financial deal would be "very similar" to the original sale price.
"I don't think there'll be much difference at all. It'll be restructured but the end will be pretty much the same," he said.
"Because the supermarket will be in the town, it will then naturally lead to people using the rest of the town. What we wanted to avoid at all costs was a supermarket being established out of town because then the town would almost certainly die in the future."
A spokesman for Morrisons said: "Following a comprehensive review of our new store formats we have revised the proposed layout of the Abergavenny store to improve the shopping experience for customers.
"As a result, we have submitted a new planning application to Monmouthshire council which reflects the changes made and we are working with the council towards determination.
"Morrisons remains committed to Abergavenny and delivering a new store in the town."
Beryl Larkin has lived in her field at Treuddyn, near Mold, for 19 years.
Her lawyer had hoped the application would stall Wednesday's plan to demolish or remove the caravan.
But the council's chief planning officer said they would "not be delaying the action which Mrs Larkin was made aware of in October 2013".
The council said she had twice been prosecuted for failing to comply with an enforcement notice dating back to January 2001.
Andrew Farrow, the council's chief officer for planning and environment, said even if her application had been valid, "given the history to this case it is highly unlikely that planning permission would be granted either by the council or by an inspector acting on behalf of the Welsh ministers on appeal".
He said: "Mrs Larkin has previously had an application for a personal permission refused by the council and on appeal in 2004 and there have been no material changes in circumstances since then."
In a four-page letter last week, the council said any legal challenge should have been brought within three months of October 2013.
The London Plane, in Broad Street, thought to be the oldest tree in the city centre, could be felled to make way for the Midland Metro extension.
Petition leader Dave Paine said the tree was "historically important".
The council said it was looking to see what can be done to protect it.
"It (the tree) was planted when Chamberlain was mayor and was part of his plan that the city should be green with landscaped areas," Mr Paine said.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Chamberlain, who became mayor in 1873, is credited with transforming Birmingham into one of the most advanced cities in the world.
Mr Paine added it was "extraordinary" the city centre's oldest tree was "only 140 years old" and he had also been surprised to learn the other 98 trees which were part of Chamberlain's scheme had gone.
Richard Cowell of Birmingham City Council, said it was acknowledged plans to extend the metro line to Centenary Square in 2017 could "have an impact on the health of the large plane tree in particular affecting the roots".
A survey will be carried out to understand how close to the tree any engineering works could go, he said.
"This work will help any decision about how we manage the impact on this particular tree and will need to be balanced against wider economic and environmental benefits for the city," he said.

Malcolm Brown died after being found alight by a care home worker outside Sherwood Forest Care Home in February.
The BBC understands the 60-year-old had gone outside the Derby care home to a smoke.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) says the home "requires improvement" after an inspection in March.
The health watchdog's report into the home raised concerns over staffing levels, highlighted some residents at risk of developing sore skin and found a person was at risk of choking due to "inadequately thickened drinks".
A CQC spokeswoman said the home can expect "further unannounced inspections... and will continue to monitor the home".
A spokeswoman for Embrace Group Ltd, which runs the care home, said: "We take the CQC's feedback very seriously, and following the inspection in March we put in place an action plan to address the points raised in the report.
"We look forward to showing full compliance at our next inspection."
Derbyshire Police confirmed no criminal investigation is taking place into Mr Brown's death, and a spokeswoman said a report is being compiled for the coroner.
A fire investigation found the fire was probably caused by "discarded smoking materials".
Soprano Danielle de Niese lead audiences around the UK in song, from the event at the Royal Albert Hall.
The event also saw tenor Jonas Kaufmann become the first German to sing Rule Britannia at the Proms.
Marin Alsop, who was the first woman to conduct the Last Night of the Proms in 2013, presided over the finale.
She conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, starting with the world premiere of Arise, Athena! by Eleanor Alberga.
Kaufmann told The Guardian being asked to perform Rule Britannia! made him "feel like an ambassador".
He also performed Recondita Armonia from Tosca, Turandot's Nessun Dorma and Donna Non Vidi Mai from Manon Lescaut.
Danielle de Niese performed at the Proms in the Park in Hyde Park before travelling to the Royal Albert Hall to lead the sing-along - with contributions from singers at Proms in the Park events in Swansea, Glasgow and Belfast.
A film of budding singers from around the country performing Do-Re-Mi from the Sound of Music was also broadcasted in a video montage across all the venues.
Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor played Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No 2, Love Walked In by George Gershwin, and Boogie Woogie Etude.
Across the road from the Royal Albert Hall in London's Hyde Park, The Jacksons headlined the Proms in the Park, hosted by Sir Terry Wogan.
The BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Richard Balcombe, was joined by trumpeter Alison Balsom, tenor Russell Watson and singer Caro Emerald.
Proms in the Park have also taken place in Singleton Park in Swansea, Glasgow Green and Titanic Slipways, Belfast.
Blaise Alavares, 33, had been in a critical condition in hospital since the fire on 6 November. His wife Sharon Alavares died in November.
The tribute thanked people for their support, describing Mr Alavares as a "kind and loving son".
Police have said the fire was not being treated as suspicious.
Lionel Messi struck the opener from Neymar's sumptuous pass, and only a stunning Craig Gordon save prevented Luis Suarez from heading home a second.
Moussa Dembele spurned Celtic's best chance before Messi scored a penalty.
Though Celtic can still draw level on points with Borussia Monchengladbach in third, the German side have a superior head-to-head record.
Brendan Rodgers' side remain on two points, having lost twice to Barca - who opened the group stage with a 7-0 win over Celtic - and at home to Gladbach.
The Scottish champions, who came through two rounds of qualifiers and a play-off to reach the group stage, visit Manchester City on 6 December, when Barcelona host the German side.
City and Barca have qualified for the last 16, with Gladbach dropping into the Europa League in the New Year.
Rodgers said his team learned all the bitter lessons from the annihilation in Barcelona, and it showed in the early minutes.
Celtic were focused and aggressive. Scott Brown dumped Sergio Busquets on the floor to the roars of the home crowd and there was an aggression about their work that suggested there would be no repeat of the embarrassment of the Nou Camp.
Class won out, though. Barcelona's threat grew as the opening half wore on. Ivan Rakitic and Andre Gomes went close before the breakthrough came, a familiar act of ruthlessness from two of the planet's most unforgiving talents.
Barcelona scored their first goal courtesy of a classic piece of telepathy between Neymar and Messi. Celtic did not seem to be in much danger mere seconds before the ball was in their net. They had nine defenders behind the ball and, seemingly, everything under control.
When Neymar took possession on the left their problems began. Nobody pressed him quickly enough. The Brazilian had time to take a look and size up the situation. What he saw was four Celtic defenders waiting for his cross, then a corridor of space, then another five Celtic men behind the corridor.
Into the space ran Messi, as he does. At the precise moment he began his run, Neymar dinked in his delivery, a thing of weighted precision that Messi lashed past Gordon at his near post.
It could have got worse for Celtic very quickly. Messi put in a cross from the right just before the break and, from point-blank range, Suarez could not put it home. Gordon made a terrific save to delay the pain.
James Forrest came on for the injured Scott Sinclair at the break and it was the winger who created a golden chance of an equaliser. His cross was met by Dembele, but the striker could not get enough power into his header to beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen. It was a big chance, and how Celtic Park groaned in that moment.
Their angst only intensified a few minutes later when Emilio Izaguirre pulled down Suarez and conceded the penalty that Messi converted. It was his fifth goal against Celtic in two Champions League matches this season and his 92nd in the competition overall. Otherworldly.
The rest of it was a procession for Barcelona. Neymar, on a yellow card following a clash with Mikael Lustig, was a bit fortunate not to be sent off before he was taken off, having gone in rashly in a separate challenge on Lustig. The Celtic Park crowd let him have it as he went. Neymar could not have cared less.
One of the last acts was another glaring miss from Suarez from more sumptuous build-up play from Messi. It hardly mattered. Celtic were out of the game, out of the Champions League - and out of Europe.

Forrester struck a minute into the second half to settle a tight and tense game in Posh's favour as Swindon's unbeaten start to 2017 came to an end.
Home goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux stopped Peterborough taking the lead after only five minutes, diverting Ryan Tafazolli's header past a post.
Islam Feruz came closest to giving Swindon a half-time lead when he narrowly failed to connect with captain Nathan Thompson's low cross.
Peterborough took the lead within 60 seconds of the restart as Swindon were caught napping.
Marcus Maddison crossed from the left and Forrester turned neatly before firing past the despairing Vigouroux, who got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.
The defeat leaves Swindon just three points above the relegation zone.
Defender Tafazolli should have made the win even more commanding but put a free header wide from Maddison's free-kick.

The Syrian National Council (SNC) comprises groups from across Syria's fractured opposition landscape. Chairman Burhan Ghalioun has said the SNC unites the "forces of opposition and the peaceful revolution".
The SNC is a coalition of seven Syrian opposition factions aimed at offering a credible alternative to Mr Assad's regime. Its formation recalls that of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), which earned international recognition through its opposition to the rule of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and is now leading the country's affairs.
Ghalioun has said the body is "an independent group personifying the sovereignty of the Syrian people in their struggle for liberty" and is "open to all Syrians".
The SNC plans to elect a chairman and stage a general assembly of 190 members next month.
Among the seven groups included are:
•The Damascus Declaration for Democratic Change grouping - a movement born during the so-called "Damascus Spring" of 2000/2001 which called for broad democratic reform, and was suppressed by the Assad regime.
•The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood - A banned Islamic political party, membership of which can be punishable by death under Syrian law.
•Local Coordination Committees - Grass-roots movements that have led demonstrations across the country.
•Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC) - a coalition of 40 opposition blocs.
•Kurdish factions, tribal leaders and independent figures make up the rest of the council.
Since May, there have been several attempts to unite the various anti-government movements in Syria.
An early incarnation of the council was established in August during the opposition conference in Istanbul, but failed to unify the ethnically, religiously and politically fragmented factions of the opposition. There were a number of disputed issues and the Local Coordination Committees declared that the council did not represent them.
Opposition leaders like Ghalioun insisted on the importance of achieving unity within the council and ensuring that all factions were adequately representated.
The formation of the SNC was formally announced in Istanbul on Sunday, following a two day meeting on structure and aims.
The main declared aim of the SNC is to provide "the necessary support for the revolution to progress and realise the aspirations of our people for the overthrow of the regime, its symbols and its head". It has officially rejected foreign military intervention, but has urged the international community to "protect the Syrian people".
The SNC National Consensus Charter lists human rights, judicial independence, press freedom, democracy and political pluralism among its guiding principles.
A former Muslim Brotherhood leader has said the party supports "the establishment of a modern, civil, democratic state."
An academic based in France, Ghalioun is a prominent opposition figure who has regularly called for democratic reform across the Arab world.
He was born in Homs in 1945 and studied philosophy at Damascus University. He also holds a PhD in humanities and philosophy from the Sorbonne.
Al-Jazeera has reported that protesters in Al-Bayyadah and Al-Hawlah in the province of Homs took to the streets in support of the SNC while chanting for international support.
In contrast, Syrian MP Anas al-Shami has said the SNC has no legitimacy and is implementing an agenda set by Israel, the US and other "conspirators targeting Syria".
Gaining support from protesters is a plus for the SNC, but there are doubts as to whether it will succeed in consolidating its position should it achieve its stated aim of toppling the regime.
Syria's opposition is notoriously fragmentary and questions have been asked as to how a coherent political framework can be established amid apparently contrasting political and religious ideologies.
The SNC National Consensus Charter has affirmed that a consensus exists across "all spectrums of the opposition" and pledged to build a "proud and dignified nation that accommodates its entire people".

A quarter of a century ago, on a fairly typical November day, thousands of university students gathered in the Czechoslovak capital, Prague, for a peaceful demonstration to commemorate International Students' Day.
Little did they know that their seemingly innocuous protest would trigger the momentous events which would in effect end the rule of communism in the country a mere 10 days later.
That peaceful student protest on 17 November, which ended with brutal violence in central Prague when riot police blocked off escape routes and severely beat students taking part in the demonstration, led to what would later become known as the Velvet Revolution, an avalanche of popular protests, held almost daily in Czech and Slovak cities.
It culminated in the appointment of the country's first non-communist government in more than four decades and the election of Vaclav Havel, a playwright turned dissident, to the post of president.
Alexander Dubcek, the reform communist hero of Prague Spring, was elected the federal Czechoslovak Speaker. The communist government, discredited and powerless against the demands of protesters, had to admit defeat and step down.
This non-violent transition of power earned its moniker primarily for its peaceful nature - not a single life was lost during the process.
It is fair to say that the Velvet Revolution would not have been possible were it not for the dramatic developments unfolding in the other communist bloc countries. In particular, the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November in neighbouring East Germany gave many Czechoslovaks hope of possible change in their own country.
But despite the wave of reform that was already sweeping through Europe, many feared a repeat of the dramatic events of 1968 when, on the night of 20-21 August, Warsaw Pact troops led by the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia to halt political liberalisation, also known as the "Prague Spring".
It is not possible to mention the Velvet Revolution without mentioning the Velvet Divorce - the amicable dissolution of Czechoslovakia, which took effect on 1 January 1993 and saw the self-determined split of the federal state into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Although many citizens of the two countries are still convinced that this was not a wise step to take, it was arguably one of the most notable political achievements in post-communist Europe. The break-up was accomplished peacefully, following the example of the bloodless transfer of power three years previously.
There is no doubt that the consequences of those dramatic events of 1989 put Czechoslovakia on the path to democracy. Restrictions on the media, speech and travel were lifted. The new, democratic government liberalised the country's law with respect to both politics and the economy, creating an open and free society.
But as both countries prepare to mark a quarter of a century of freedom, a survey conducted recently by the Public Opinion Research Centre suggests a full sixth of Czechs still long for a return to communism.
They appear equally split on whether their country's current political leadership is moving the country forward.
Other research, carried out by the Medea agency, suggests that although 84% of Czechs are aware that 17 November is celebrated as a national holiday to remember the Velvet Revolution, only 30% of people below the age of 30 are aware of this. The poll also suggests that only three out of five people think their quality of life is better now than it was before 1989.
Similarly, in Slovakia there is disillusionment with the current government and its policies. The leading party, Smer, was forced to cancel a concert planned to coincide with the anniversary after performers expected to take part pulled out because they did not want to be associated with the party.
Despite that, most citizens of the former federation remember the euphoria of 1989 with nostalgia and fondness, and the younger generation mostly appears to be fully aware of the significance of the revolution.
Fedor Gal, a Slovak politician and sociologist who has lived in Prague since 1991 and was one of the leading protagonists of the 1989 revolution, summed up similar sentiments in a recent interview: "We keep complaining and whinging, despite the fact that our life is good!"
And Czech ex-President Vaclav Klaus echoed this view in an interview with the Czech weekly Echo24: "Without looking at the past 25 years through rose-tinted glasses, I think that our transformation was a success. The basic goal associated with the fall of communism was freedom. November 1989 gave us this freedom."

The European Commission president said the government had not told the truth about its bailout proposals.
"I am blaming the Greeks [for telling] things to the Greek public which are not consistent with what I've told the Greek prime minister," Mr Juncker said.
Mr Tsipras said the IMF bore "criminal responsibility" for austerity measures.
Demands by its lenders for more cuts were politically motivated, the Greek leader added.
Greece needs to strike a deal with its creditors before the end of June or face defaulting on payments of €1.6bn (£1.5bn) due to the IMF.
Mr Tsipras had earlier said the main factor blocking a deal were differences between its European and IMF creditors over debt restructuring.
"The big contradiction is the IMF's presence, which wants measures and a restructuring, [whereas] the others want measures but no restructuring," he said. "They want an a-la-carte IMF."
He said he wanted a deal that would end talk of a Greek eurozone exit, but that "the mandate we have got from the Greek people is to end austerity policy".
The Greek stock market fell 4.7% on Tuesday, following similar falls on Monday and last Friday.
Elsewhere in Europe, the FTSE 100 in London closed flat after falling 1.1% on Monday, while the Dax in Frankfurt and the Cac 40 in Paris both closed up 0.5%.
Meanwhile, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that both Greece and its creditors should aim to restore the Greek economy without disrupting global financial markets.
In Germany, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat (CDU) party said that a Greek exit from the eurozone would result if Athens failed to present a convincing economic reform package.
Michael Grosse-Broemer, the CDU's deputy floor leader in parliament, said: "In the event a solid reform package is not presented, then a 'Grexit' would have to be accepted if necessary."
He said it was up to Greece to give up its "state of denial", adding: "I'm not so sure anymore if the Greek government is really interested in averting damage for the people of Greece."
In another development on Tuesday, the European Court of Justice ruled the European Central Bank (ECB) had not acted unlawfully in 2012 when it said it stood ready to buy government bonds.
Germany objected to the ECB's announcement of a bond-buying programme, despite the fact it was never used, saying it contravened EU law.
The action of the ECB at the time helped to calm markets which, at the time, were being buffeted by one crisis after another.

How serious for us is the Greek tragedy?
Managers at the South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have signed deals for patients in parts of Kent to be treated at hospitals in Calais and Le Touquet.
Under the plans, the NHS will pay for treatment but patients will pay for their own travel costs.
The public sector union Unison said it was a "gimmick" but the CCG said feedback had been positive.
Hazel Carpenter, from the CCG, said: "Our patient representatives have been to France as well as CCG GP representatives and tested the practicalities, ensuring that the scheme is viable."
She said the French providers had improved signage and ensured their staff have excellent English language skills.
Simon Bolton, from Unison, said it was an "admission of failure" by the NHS.
He said: "I dare say if you go to France you will get decent treatment, but if you need a hip operation, for example, how are you going to travel 22 miles? Who's going to visit you?
"Having failed to commission and plan care in Kent properly, they are now saying 'well you can go to France'. It's a gimmick and it's to cover their own backs."
Procedures to be carried out in France include orthopaedics, cataract surgery, and ear, nose and throat operations, possibly by the end of April.
Providers will give patients 24-hour access by phone to a member of the surgical team for 14 days.
Follow-up appointments will be by phone or video technology such as Skype, or patients can travel back to France to see their consultant.
The CCG said patients cannot be forced to travel to France and insisted it was an "additional choice".
They said patient confidentiality procedures would be the same as in the UK.
The special committee, to be chaired by the prime minister, will include senior cabinet ministers and security chiefs.
Downing Street sources say it will "build on" Labour's Prevent Strategy.
Police probing Lee Rigby's death have arrested three more men on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, were arrested at the scene of Wednesday's killing of Drummer Rigby, 25, near Woolwich Barracks, and remain in hospital after they were shot by police.
Shortly after the attack, Mr Adebolajo was filmed by a passer-by saying he had carried it out because British soldiers killed Muslims every day.
Meanwhile, French authorities are investigating whether the stabbing of a soldier in a Paris suburb was a copycat attack in the wake of the murder of Drummer Rigby.
The coalition government reviewed Prevent in 2011 - set up after the 2005 London transport network bombings - and said it had uncovered serious failings with the existing policy.
The home secretary said at the time that some of the money was going to groups who should have been confronted, not given funds.
Theresa May also said the relaunched policy should recognise the impact of non-violent extremism.
The coalition reduced the dedicated annual budget for Prevent from £63m to £36m.
After the events in Woolwich the prime minister and some around him believe the whole approach on dealing with Islamist extremism needs an informal review.
Outlining the new taskforce, the Number 10 sources told the BBC it would be "foolish not to look again at how things are being dealt with".
The government said it would consider blocking some violent and unlawful websites - the Home Office says some filters have already been put in place since the 2011 review and it plans to develop more.
Downing Street wants to look at how serious the scale of radicalisation is, something it says involves "hundreds of individuals".
The prime minister also wants to focus on the range of powers available for dealing with extremist preachers or figures who are "fostering extremism".
Sources say work being done to counter radicalisation in places such as universities and prisons needs to be "maximised".
Labour sources say it is "right to develop all these areas" but they say much of this was promised after the review two years ago.
They said the taskforce needed to look at "what hasn't worked" since then, "not re-invent the wheel".
The Labour chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee has criticised the government for what he says are serious cuts to funding for frontline initiatives, which engage with vulnerable young men.
Keith Vaz told the BBC that the coalition should change the name of its strategy, saying "don't call it Prevent, call it Engage".
He also said the government needed to take firmer action against internet search engines who give access to some of the material used to radicalise people, because, he said, "It's not happening in universities or schools, but in bedrooms."
Meanwhile, a senior backbench Conservative MP has warned against a high profile over reaction.
Bernard Jenkin, who chairs parliament's all-party group on security, said: "I suspect it will prove more effective in the long run just to get on with this in the background... the underlying message should be, 'Keep calm and carry on.'"
Scotland Yard said the latest arrests were made in south-east London by detectives from the Counter Terrorism Command supported by specialist firearms officers.
A 24-year-old man and 28-year-old man were arrested at a residential address while a 21-year-old man was held in the street in Charlton Lane, Charlton.
A Taser was used on the 28-year-old man and the 21-year-old but the suspects did not require hospital treatment.
Police said they were also searching four residential addresses in south-east London.
Scotland Yard added that a 29-year-old man arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder has been bailed to return pending further inquiries.
The move was part of the plans to close Scotland's only women's jail.
The women are now housed at Polmont near Falkirk which has seen the number of young offenders held there reduce significantly in recent years.
The chief inspector, David Strang, said although there were teething problems they were tackled quickly.
His report said: "The management and staff in Polmont faced considerable challenges in managing the transfer of over 100 women from Cornton Vale to Blair House at Polmont whilst at the same time maintaining delivery of a full regime for the young men they continued to hold.
"Polmont management and staff should be commended for the successful transfer and integration of the women into the new arrangements. While there were inevitable teething problems with such a transfer, these were tackled quickly and appropriately."
He said the arrival of the women at Polmont had not had a detrimental impact on the regime and opportunities for the young men, while the women were able to benefit from accommodation which was more modern than at Cornton Vale and which had in-cell sanitation facilities.
The Scottish government announced in February 2016 it was to redevelop Cornton Vale which had been criticised for poor facilities for female prisoners, and had suffered eight suicides in three years in the 1990s.
In 2010-11 there were a maximum of 438 women held there, but at the start of May 2017 there were only 68 in Cornton Vale, with other women prisoners at Edinburgh (69), HMP Grampian (34), Greenock (44) and Polmont (66).
A spokesman for the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said: "Faced with a significant decline in the number of young offenders in Scotland, the decision was taken to decant women from Cornton Vale to allow the complete redevelopment of the site.
"Later this year we expect to begin work on a new 80-place national facility on the Cornton Vale site."
Polmont, which was the only institution for offenders aged under 21 has seen its peak numbers fall from 784 in 2011-12 to 355 in May 2017.
One of the accommodation wings, Blair House, was refurbished for women prisoners, with bright coloured paint, the use of colourful and inspiring graphics and upgraded seating in the communal areas.
The report said: "The women were positive about the single cell accommodation in Blair House which benefitted from en suite facilities.
"However, there were concerns raised about the lack of affordable toiletries for women on the canteen list with, for example, shampoo and conditioner for men available at a lower cost than the equivalent products for women.
"It was also reported by women that access to razors was only permitted in the morning for a short period of time.
"Whilst we understand that this was a safety concern, there was little flexibility in the regime that recognised the differing requirements of the female population."
HMCIPS called on the prison service to provide liquid detergent to allow women to wash their underwear in their cells, after washing powder was banned over fears drains could become blocked.
The chief inspector's report also looked at the treatment of male young offenders.
He praised Throughcare Support Officers (TSOs) who work with young offenders to prepare them for release back into the community at the end of their sentence, but said too many were still leaving custody without accommodation, healthcare support and finances in place.
"Of the 82 young men supported by the TSOs, 28 (34%) were liberated without an address to go to.
"In addition to the lack of shelter and security which this represents, it also has implications for their inability to access appropriate healthcare and medications," he said.
"These are not issues which are in the gift of the SPS to resolve alone.
"Greater efforts need to be made to provide joined-up support from mainstream service providers, to ensure that young men and women leaving Polmont are not set up to fail."
David Mackay, 41, who had served as a retained firefighter with the Strontian fire unit for 20 years, was found guilty of two charges of wilful fire raising last year.
The fires were estimated to have caused £1m of damage.
Three judges sitting at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh ruled that Mackay's conviction was legal.
Mackay's legal team had argued that he was wrongly convicted and that the correct legal procedures were not followed at Fort William Sheriff Court during his trial.
Mackay had denied starting the fires on 27 March and 1 April 2013.
The blazes happened during a 10-day period of very dry conditions, when more than 200 wildfires were reported in the Highlands and Islands.
As a retained firefighter, Mackay had helped to tackle the incidents he started.
He was convicted after the trial jury heard evidence that a tracker fitted to his works van placed him at the site of the two fires around the time they started.
Following disciplinary procedures, Mackay was dismissed from the fire service.
Judges will issue their reasons for rejecting Mackay's appeal in a written judgement, to be published later this year.
The Habitat Restoration Project on the Atlantic island of South Georgia aims to wipe out millions of rats that first arrived on sealing and whaling ships.
A test mission to spread poison pellets in 2011, aiming to rid 128 sq km of the rodents, seems to have been successful.
The team is now targeting a further 580 sq km with poison pellets on a months-long mission to start in February 2013.
Brown rats may be a pest in the UK but in South Georgia they are pushing indigenous bird species to the brink of extinction.
They were first introduced to South Georgia by sealing boats in the late 18th Century and numbers were bolstered by rats arriving on whaling boats in the early 20th Century.
They quickly multiplied with no natural predators on the island.
For ground-nesting birds like the South Georgia pipit and South Georgia pintail, both of which are unique to the island, the rat explosion spells disaster because the rats feed on chicks and eggs.
A trial phase in 2011 was the largest rodent eradication ever attempted and succeeded in removing rats from a tenth of the infested areas.
Prof Tony Martin, an expert in animal conservation from the University of Dundee, is the project's director. He said: "Almost immediately, there were young pintail ducks being seen around the base in numbers which no-one could remember - it was remarkably instant and we expect to see pipits returning very soon.
"But realistically most of the species which will benefit from the project will take years, maybe decades, to come back. But we're not in this for the short-term, this is something for the long-term."
The second phase of the project, detailed on Wednesday at a meeting in London, will see a 25-strong team of scientists, helicopter pilots, chefs and engineers embark on a four-month mission to eradicate the brown rat from the South Atlantic island.
They aim to clear 60% of the remaining area. The crew, dubbed Team Rat, will charter the RRS Ernest Shackleton from the British Antarctic Survey to transport them and their three helicopters, 270 tonnes of bait and shipping containers full of food and equipment.
"The only effective way to eradicate rodents on an island the size of South Georgia is by air," Prof Martin explained.
"The three helicopters will be used to deliver rat bait, using precisions flying, as they criss-cross the island with giant hoppers suspended underneath."
The hope is that eradicating the rats will mean 100 million pairs of seabirds return to the island once more.
Prof Tony Martin will be speaking to the Material World programme on Radio 4, which will air at 16:30 GMT on Thursday and will be re-broadcast at 21:00 on Monday 3 December, and available on iPlayer.
Tevez, Kuyt and Heinze were among 25 players able to take banned medicines in South Africa after being given therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs).
But Professor Jiri Dvorak says glucocorticoids cause long-term damage.
He told BBC Sport use of the steroid "should be stopped - full stop".
Glucocorticoids are commonly used to treat inflammation, joint pain, asthma and skin problems such as eczema.
They are prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), but athletes can ask for a TUE depending on how the substance will be administered.
Dvorak, who left Fifa in 2016 after 22 years, was governed by those guidelines but said "as a physician" he believes glucocorticoids should not be permitted under any circumstances.
It is not clear why Tevez and Heinze used the steroid betamethasone during the World Cup, but it is thought Kuyt was given dexamethasone for tooth pain.
There is no suggestion any of the footballers have done anything wrong.
In a statement to BBC Sport, Fifa said it has "a clear, robust and stringent policy in place" concerning TUEs.
World football's governing body added: "This policy is applied strictly to avoid any abuse and ensure the process of granting TUEs is the same for all players."
On Tuesday, hackers Fancy Bears made public the list of TUEs issued at the 2010 World Cup.
As well as then Manchester City forward Tevez, ex-Liverpool winger Kuyt and one-time Manchester United defender Heinze, a group of players from Argentina, Netherlands and Germany were also reportedly given permission to use the banned substances.
Dvorak has no concerns about those exemptions, but acknowledges the decision to prescribe any drugs is subjective.
"We had quite a strict process," he said. "We required full documentation to support the application, including medical documents. There were justified medical declarations to support the exemptions.
"We were happy everything was declared. But sometimes it depends on how the doctor is feeling whether he prescribes the steroids.
"I was always warning about the use of them and trying to educate people."
Glucocorticoids can be used to treat a range of ailments - including for pain relief or inflammation - and can be injected into a joint or administered via pills or creams.
They differ from anabolic steroids, which can be used by some athletes and body-builders to improve performance.
But steroids can weaken the immune system and thin cartilage, and there is also a risk of infection from injections.
Dvorak, now senior consultant in neurology at the Schulthess Clinic in Zurich, says they must be taken seriously.
"It is a very potent drug, there can be serious side-effects," he said. "They can cover the symptoms but it is the long-term effect I am concerned about.
"At the moment, with an application for use, they are allowed. As a physician I am against glucocorticoids - their use should be stopped - full stop. The lesson is not being learnt."

In 2010, players could either seek a TUE, for the manner of administrating a substance not directly on the prohibited list, or a declaration of use (DoU) when an exemption from a doctor was required.
Now, TUEs are required for both banned substances and methods of administration.
Dvorak, who has warned in the past about the overuse of legal painkillers in sport, said he has confidence in Fifa's systems.
"I don't think Fifa has changed the process since I left, so I am not worried that the system is being abused. When I look at other sports, like athletics and tournaments like the Olympics, compared to World Cups, we had far fewer TUEs in football."
A report by Canadian law professor and sports lawyer Dr Richard McLaren, published in December 2016, claimed Russian footballers were among more than 1,000 sportspeople to benefit from a state-sponsored doping programme between 2011 and 2015.
And Dvorak admits there may be some discrepancies in the different systems used around the world.
"Some anti-doping committees are not so stringent," he said.
"There are many good national anti-doping bodies - like the Swiss and UK bodies - which are of a really high quality. But there are some countries in Asia or Africa that don't have such good processes, they don't have the resources or the experience."
Terry, 36, has made just eight appearances for Chelsea this season, and has been linked with a move from the club he has played for since 1997.
Terry was sent off in his most recent appearance, the 4-1 FA Cup third-round victory over Peterborough United.
"For me the best player not currently playing in his team in the Premier League is John Terry," James said.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales Sport, he added: "Whether John would consider a move on loan to somewhere like Swansea, I don't know.
"If you don't ask the question, you don't get the answer. If you're [Swansea boss] Paul Clement with his connection to Chelsea, I don't think it's an unrealistic question for him to ask."
The Swans have conceded 51 goals in the Premier League this season - more than any team - and James says Terry could be a good influence.
"A centre-back would be ideal. I've been very impressed with young Alfie Mawson since he came to the club," he added.
"Like most young players, he needs a bit of a knowledgeable tutor to play alongside him and to teach him the rudiments of Premier League football."
James scored 27 goals in 98 appearances for the Swans between 1980 and 1983.
Speaking at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs Clinton said "words can have tremendous consequences."
Republican nominee Mr Trump sparked a backlash after suggesting "Second Amendment people", or gun owners, could take action against her.
Mrs Clinton also said Mr Trump did not have the temperament to be president.
The former secretary of state criticised Mr Trump for his recent row with the family of a fallen American Muslim soldier, which the military refers to as a Gold Star family.
"Yesterday we witnessed the latest in the long line of casual comments from Donald Trump that cross the line. His casual cruelty to a Gold Star family, his casual suggestion that more countries should have nuclear weapons. And now his casual inciting of violence," she said.
"Every single one of these incidents shows that Donald Trump simply does not have the temperament to be president and commander in chief of the United States.
Mr Trump was speaking at a rally in North Carolina on Tuesday when he said Mrs Clinton would put liberal justices on the Supreme Court if she wins the presidency.
Fear and anger in Trump-land
The Republican nominee suggested her liberal nominations would threaten gun ownership rights when he said: "Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
"But the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
Social media users swiftly responded, condemning Mr Trump for appearing to incite violence.
Mr Trump dismissed the claims, tweeting that he was trying to unify gun rights supporters to turn out to vote to defeat Mrs Clinton.
His campaign said: "Second Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power."
"And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won't be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump."
Meanwhile, former Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said a victory for Mr Trump in the November election would undermine the credibility of the US.
A Trump presidency would signal the end of "the American-led world order", Mr Rasmussen - a former Danish prime minister who was Nato chief between 2009 and 2014 - told the Politico website.
Mr Trump has criticised US interventions abroad, notably in Syria, and has been accused of isolationist tendencies.
Although they are vital for London life, bridges do more than transport people from the North Bank to the South Bank, as some of the bridges - such as Tower Bridge - have come to symbolise the city itself.
Artists and photographers have long been drawn to the river, and now the Museum of London Docklands is to hold an exhibition celebrating the structures.
The show, from 27 June until 4 November, comprises of paintings, prints, drawings, photography and films.
Taken from a vantage point above London Bridge Station, this image shows how bridges are relatively close together.
David Spence, director of transformation for the Museum of London and Museum of London Docklands, says: "We want to get an idea for the phenomenon of the bridge, what's important about it.
"It's not just a crossing point from north to south or vice versa, it's actually the place that gives you the best vista of London.
"You can stand in the middle of London Bridge, for example, and that gives you views down to Canary Wharf - if you turn north you see great new buildings such as the Cheesegrater, south has got the Shard, while in the West you can see St Pauls and the river snaking off.
"These places give you a completely different definition of what it's like to be in the centre of a city that you don't get anywhere else."
The first bridge in London dates back to the Roman era when Claudius travelled from Kent and wanted to cross the river.
When it was completed in AD 50, merchants flocked to the area and, according to Mr Spence, created modern London.
This hand-coloured etching and aquatint shows Blackfriars Bridge in the 18th Century.
At the time, only three bridges spanned the Thames in central London - Blackfriars, Westminster and London.
Tower Bridge, which is 120-years-old this month, is an example of a great modern construction designed to look like something from an earlier time - a medieval drawbridge.
"I love it because it's a living bridge," says historian Dan Cruickshank who has a passion for bridges.
The first masonry bridge in London dates back to 1177-1200 and at the time, it was so daunting that it was thought of as God's creation because it changed God's land.
"They are full of light, love and people bustling about their daily lives," says Mr Cruickshank.
"But underneath bridges, there is decay and darkness which gives them an emotional pull - above are things of life whereas below are things of death," he said, adding that a mortuary was built next to Tower Bridge.
The last standing structure to be built in London was the Millennium Bridge, which links Bankside with the City.
The capital city now has 35 bridges, but could there soon be one more?
Actress Joanna Lumley hopes so. In 1998 she came up with the idea of a garden bridge as a memorial to Princess Diana, but it was not until 2012 that the idea picked up traction when designer Thomas Heatherwick contacted the Ab Fab star and came up with this visualised concept for the bridge.
It is hoped that the £150m bridge will be built by 2017.

Research on the topic has been ongoing for years but the subject has been revived after IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died from head injuries in a crash in August.
World champion Lewis Hamilton said: "I see closed cockpits as potentially the future. We've had too many fatalities."
McLaren driver Fernando Alonso added: "If one closed cockpit saves one life, it is worth doing it."
Wilson's crash, in which the 37-year-old Englishman suffered fatal head injuries after being hit by debris, was the latest in a series of deaths or major injuries in recent years in open-cockpit racing cars.
F1 driver Jules Bianchi died in July nine months after colliding with a recovery vehicle in the Japanese Grand Prix.
IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed in 2011 after his head hit debris fencing.
F1 test driver Maria De Villota died a year after colliding with the back of a lorry in a test at an airfield.
And Formula Two driver Henry Surtees - son of 1964 F1 world champion John Surtees - was killed when he was hit on the head by a loose wheel in 2009.
McLaren driver Jenson Button said: "It is time. I am one of the people who have always said it is an open-cockpit formula, but I don't care about that any more.
"It has been too much over the last couple of years. We have lost some amazing talent in the sport and some amazing individuals.
"I raced with Justin when I was nine years old - it was me, Justin, Dan Wheldon and Anthony Davidson - and it was such great racing. And two of them are gone, through injuries that could have been helped by a closed cockpit or canopy.
"It is too much and hopefully it will happen sooner or later."
Hamilton added that he was conflicted on the issue.
"Growing up, watching, it has always been open-cockpit, but sometimes change is the way forward. We have got to make some changes.
"Drivers have been really unfortunate but maybe it doesn't have to be closed. There are different mechanisms we could have."
However, Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg said he was against the idea.
"Obviously there's pros and cons but I see single-seater racing as open cockpits," the German said.
"When we sign up for this we know there's some risk involved and there could potentially be some danger, but that's in the DNA of racing and motorsport and I think we shouldn't sterilise the whole thing and make everything too clinical and overprotect everything.
"That's not good for the sport and might make things a bit unattractive."
Governing body the FIA is to conduct tests on a series of potential designs later in September, among them a 'halo' design pioneered by Hamilton's Mercedes team.
The FIA has previously rejected a closed jet-fighter-style canopy and a forward roll-hoop structure.
The protest began in July 2013 after a Parades Commission determination not to allow a return leg of an Orange parade to pass a section of the Crumlin road.
Campaigners vowed to keep protesting until the original parade is allowed to return past the Ardoyne shops.
Policing the nightly demonstrations has so far cost more than £18m.
Addressing Thursday night's parade, County Grand Master of the Orange Lodge of Belfast, George Chittick, thanked those who have taken part in the campaign.
"We have always said from the start - we don't need thousands or even hundreds each evening, the protest is not a numbers game" Mr Chittick said.
"But we do need and have the support of tens of thousands of people from all shades of unionism and loyalism who are committed to see the Ligoniel lodges complete their 12th July parade."
However, Fr Gary Donegan, from the nearby Holy Cross parish in Ardoyne, said it was time for both loyalist protesters and nationalist residents to "draw a line in the sand" and try to reach a solution to the dispute through talks.
"Anybody has a right to protest," Fr Donegan told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"I suppose, the question that people are now asking is... where does it actually go from here?"
The priest has been involved in cross-community work to prevent young nationalists and loyalists from engaging in sectarian conflict at the north Belfast interface.
Fr Donegan said the protest was now "being ignored" by nationalists but was still causing nightly disruption to traffic and some residents in the immediate vicinity of the protest camp.
About 20 homes were affected by flooding in the Wester Inch estate, Bathgate, on 24 and 27 February.
The 27in (69cm) water pipe served more than 25,000 properties across Bathgate, Blackburn and Livingston.
Scottish Water said it would answer questions at a public meeting in the area on Sunday.
Mark McEwen, Scottish Water's customer service general manager, said: "We have established after detailed analysis and significant changes that we can operate the local water supply network in future without the need to use this particular section of water pipe.
"We also plan to invest in other areas of the water supply network to ensure continuity of supply in the wider West Lothian area.
"We will keep customers updated on our plans, but in the meantime can confirm that the section of water pipe where these bursts occurred will not be used again."
The defending Scottish Premiership champions and current leaders visit Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Sunday.
"It's important as coach and manager you intervene because if you leave it, it maybe can continue," said Rodgers.
"The first morning we were back in we were able to reflect on it and that's your lever to move on."
Celtic opened their Champions League group campaign at the Nou Camp having won four league games out of four, including last weekend's 5-1 defeat of Rangers.
However, Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick and Luis Suarez scored twice as Barca inflicted the third defeat of Rodgers' reign as Celtic boss with the other two losses coming during the club's Champions League qualifying campaign.
"For us there is no leftover feeling from the other night," said the former Liverpool boss.
"In the last couple of days it's just been about stabilising the emotion of the week really. The players have been absolutely outstanding since the day I walked in here and we've been given some harsh lessons in the Nou Camp the other night against arguably the world's best ever team.
"It was a difficult night for us and that 24 hours afterwards, it's disappointing and a very humbling experience when that happens to you.
"Make no mistake, they've made a real stride by qualifying for the Champions League because it's a real difficult process to come through and I think you look at the team we beat in the final qualification game, Hapoel Beer Sheva.
"They go to the San Siro and win 2-0 [against Inter Milan in the Europa League] so that tells you the level of task that you have over six games in order to qualify.
"So the players have done remarkably well with virtually the same group of players [as last season]. So my job is to manage the expectation within that and really make sure we improve going forward."
Celtic will again be without top scorer Leigh Griffiths in the Highlands on Sunday, the striker still recovering from injury.
And midfielder Stuart Armstrong said of Sunday's match: "A trip away to Inverness is a different sort of atmosphere than the last two games we played.
"We're ruthless in the league so far this season and we want to continue being so. It's vital we get the three points and everyone's willing for that to happen."
The authority is under pressure to make savings, and approved £4.6m of cuts to services in March.
But a committee today unanimously recommended the council reject cutting pest control, and instead wants to see the service made "self-financing".
Between 2014 and 2015, council pest controllers were called out 1,190 times - with wasps the most common problem.
At an earlier meeting, councillors called the service "important and necessary" and said if it was closed there was "a risk that private companies would completely control the market and increase their prices".
A Gwynedd Council spokesman said: "The council's corporate scrutiny committee today agreed unanimously with the recommendation of maintaining the pest control service by aiming to make the service self-financing."
Police and firefighters arrived at Pontyrhodyn farm in Whitland to find Charles Chestnut making a barbecue and strumming a guitar.
Chestnut, 55, told police he started the fire but refused to take part in his trial at Swansea crown court.
He was convicted of arson in his absence and will be sentenced in April.
Chestnut "obliterated" Pontyrhodyn farm and a barn on 19 September last year, the day he was due in court to continue his dispute with the Yorkshire Building Society.
After his arrest, he told police: "I don't intend to defend it in any way whatsoever. Produce what ever charges you want and I will accept them."
Tom Scapens, prosecuting, said Chestnut stopped making payments for the farm and a county court granted possession to the society in 2014.
But Chestnut refused to leave the property entirely and eventually occupied a caravan on the grounds.
James Taylor, a solicitor with the building society, said the £250,000 property and land was now valued at £40,000, which would not cover the outstanding mortgage.
Judge Geraint Walters told the jury he would have been worried if they had returned anything other than guilty - and said he had been unable to tell them Chestnut had already admitted his guilt because he had not responded when the charge was put to him.
Judge Walters said he would have to decide whether Chestnut was a dangerous offender as defined by law, partly because he had said that he would burn everything else that he owned.
He said he would write to Chestnut, who is being held at Swansea prison, informing him of the verdict and asking him if he wanted a psychiatrist to asses him before the sentencing hearing.
Richard Durkin claimed the HFC bank ruined his credit rating after he tried to pull out of a credit agreement when he returned the £1,499 computer to the Aberdeen branch of PC World.
In 2014, judges at the UK Supreme Court awarded him £8,000.
The Court of Session has now refused the offshore worker's appeal for £600,000.
He had handed over £50 and signed a credit agreement with HFC in 1998, but said he was told by a sales assistant at the store in Aberdeen that the laptop could be returned if it had a problem.
He later discovered that the laptop did not have an inbuilt modem.
Mr Durkin was eventually paid back the £50 by PC World but HFC said he was still required to make payments under the terms of the credit agreement.
In 2008 Aberdeen Sheriff Court ruled that he was entitled to reject the laptop and cancel the sale and the credit agreement and awarded damages of £116,000.
The decision was overturned later by judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh after Mr Durkin himself appealed against the size of the damages.
The Supreme Court then awarded him £8,000, which Mr Durkin said was a victory for the consumer but a blow for him personally.
Appeal judges Lady Paton, Lord Drummond Young and Lord Malcolm have now ruled that Mr Durkin's latest action had to fail.
The judges ruled that the matters brought to the court in the latest claim had already been decided two years ago in the Supreme Court.
Canon Joanna Penberthy said she is "immensely humbled" to become the 129th Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire.
An electoral college of 47 people from across Wales spent two days locked in St Davids Cathedral before coming to their decision.
Canon Penberthy, 56, who was appointed the cathedral's first woman canon in 2007, will take over the role from the retiring Wyn Evans.
The decision to allow women bishops was made following a landmark vote in September 2013.
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, called it "an historic moment" for the church.
"What is really important to stress is that Joanna wasn't elected because she was a woman but because she was deemed to be the best person to be a bishop," he said.
"She has considerable gifts - she is an excellent preacher and communicator, can relate to all sections of the community, is a warm, charismatic, caring priest and someone who is full of joy."
Women bishops are also allowed in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, where plans were formally approved in November 2014.
The first woman in England the Right Reverend Libby Lane, was made Bishop of Stockport in January 2015.
St Davids' new bishop was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge and St John's College, Nottingham, she undertook ordination training at Cranmer Hall, Durham, in 1983.
Canon Penberthy was then a Deaconess in the city, before working in the role in Cardiff between 1985 and 1989.
She also served as a non-stipendiary minister in Cardiff, St Asaph and St Davids, between 1987 and 1995.
In February 2007, while vicar of Cynwyl Gaeo, Llansawel and Talley, she became the first woman appointed canon at St Davids Cathedral, a role she remained in until 2010.
She is currently the rector of the parish of Glan Ithon, near Llandrindod Wells, Powys.
A UK government official overseeing the operation to remove the rig from Dalmore on Lewis said most of the escaped diesel oil had evaporated.
The structure which broke free from its tow in stormy weather was carrying more than 60,000 gallons of fuel.
No oil has been seen on the surface of the sea.
The rig ran aground off the Hebridean island on Monday morning while being towed off west Scotland.
It is understood it was being towed from Norway to Malta before later being moved to a yard in Turkey where it was to be scrapped.
The structure is expected to remain at the site for some time and heavy rain and high winds have hampered efforts to fully assess the damage.
Rig inspection was not possible again on Wednesday due to poor visibility.
The diesel oil leaked after two of four fuel tanks on the rig were breached.
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, who is overseeing the salvage operation, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was thought that this happened during the grounding.
he said the loss was "obviously a concern" but posed an "extremely low risk" to the environment.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said a maximum of 53 tonnes was thought to have been lost from the damaged tanks, adding that monitoring of the rig's condition was continuing.
It said: "There is no pollution detected in the area of the rig and the MCA continue to monitor for any pollution.
"As well as continual observations on scene, the MCA counter-pollution surveillance aircraft yesterday flew over the location and surrounding area to make careful observations for pollution around the rig and the nearby coast and sea and no sheen or sign of pollution has been found."
The MCA added: "Diesel is a light and non-persistent oil which presents much lower environmental risks than heavy black crude oil."
Poor weather conditions, including low cloud, have so far prevented a team from being airlifted by helicopter on to the rig to make further assessments of the structure.
Mr Shaw told BBC Scotland that the rig's ballasts appeared to have been damaged.
He said "a lot of work" had still to be done to make sure the rig was stable and safe enough to be moved.
Transocean Winner ran aground during a period of high winds.
Charts produced for surfers suggest there was an intense storm with sea swells in the range of 30ft while the rig was being towed off west Scotland.
The tug towing Transocean Winner is understood to have got into difficulty on Sunday evening before the tow line broke in the early hours of Monday.
The drilling rig ran aground at Dalmore at about 07:30 on Monday.
South Devon-based Magicseaweed.com produces swell charts which are used by surfers around the world.
It said storms of Sunday's intensity could occur at any time of the year, but were most frequently in winter.
The orange and red colours on the charts indicate swell of up to 30ft.
The Met Office had issued a yellow "be aware" warning of high winds for Sunday.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney has contacted UK government officials to question why the rig was being towed when stormy conditions were forecast.
BBC News Scotland online asked the rig's owner, Transocean, why the towing operation was attempted on Sunday.
Responding, the company said: "During severe weather, the Transocean Winner lost its tow and subsequently grounded off the Western Isles of Scotland. No rig personnel are at risk.
"Transocean is working closely with authorities to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
"Further information will be released as it becomes available."
Transocean added: "An initial inspection of the rig has revealed that two fuel tanks in the starboard pontoon have been breached. Transocean is working closely with authorities to resolve the situation as expeditiously and safely as possible."
Events that led to the Transocean Winner coming ashore on Lewis began on Sunday evening, according to Western Isles MP Angus MacNeil.
18:15 Sunday: Crew of Alp Forward, the tug towing the drilling rig, call for assistance in heavy seas while off the west coast of the Western Isles.
18:30 Sunday: Coastguard emergency towing vessel Herakles begins its journey from Kirkwall in Orkney.
04:15 Monday: Towing line between the rig and Alp Forward breaks.
07:30: Transocean Winner runs aground at Dalmore near Carloway on Lewis.
12:30: Herakles arrives at the scene of the grounding.
The multi-agency Western Isles Emergency Planning Co-ordinating Group (WIEPCG) met on Wednesday afternoon.
A spokesman for WIEPCG said the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) was conducting daily shoreline inspections and had indicated that there was no visible sign of pollution.
He said: "Field chemistry staff are also on the island conducting air monitoring in the vicinity on a precautionary basis.
"WIEPCG is continuing to work closely with the Secretary of State's representative's salvage group and the national agencies environment group to protect and ensure public safety. We would again reiterate that people should stay away from the area until such time as we advise." | A care home where a resident died after being found on fire in his wheelchair has been told by inspectors it must improve.

It was a call-in show - on a topic that is on many minds here these days: the fate of a 94-year-old man lying in a hospital bed in Pretoria, and the fate of South Africa once he is gone.
For years people here have been understandably reluctant to discuss the death of Nelson Mandela - out of a profound respect for the man who, more than any other, steered this country from apartheid to democracy.
But the passage of time, and the health scares of recent months - have nudged the issue away from the shadows.
The man on the radio was a black South African from a poor township, and he was articulating a belief that has gained a small level of currency here: that Mr Mandela's passing will unleash not just grief and nostalgia, but a violent rage against the poverty and inequality that still exists here, two decades after the end of white minority rule.
There is, certainly, anger in the country.

Recent headlines have highlighted violent industrial action, the massacre at the Marikana mine, the death of a man dragged behind a police van and the enduringly high crime statistics.
The theory goes that - even from his hospital bed - Mr Mandela exerts some sort of restraint on a turbulent nation, almost a decade after he retired from public life.
It is a theory most South Africans find - quite rightly - both offensive and absurd.
The next two callers on the radio show said as much.
Imagine Britain in the mid-1960s still anxious about the broader implications of Winston Churchill's failing health.
No, in almost every way South Africa is already well into the post-Mandela era.
Other presidents have come and gone.
And yet the jitters here speak to a broader theme - of a grand, miraculous nation aware it is poised to close a defining chapter in its history.
There are not many heroes left these days, so people cling to Mr Mandela like a precious relic.
And they cling too to the sense of drama, of high stakes, that characterised those years, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when South Africa really did stand on the precipice - the dangers of a racial civil war, of total collapse - were raw and real.
Today's headlines can still leave you speechless - the corruption allegations that cling to President Jacob Zuma, the extraordinary levels of sexual violence.
There is a new crisis here every week.
The South African writer, Rian Malan, put it well a few years ago, when he tried to explain to a foreign audience why he could not imagine living anywhere else.
"You don't understand. It's boring where you are," he wrote.
Yet, when you peer behind some of the headlines, things can seem less dramatic.
Take Oscar Pistorius.
Yes, he shot his girlfriend dead. Perhaps he was afraid of burglars.
You could see it all as another sign that a violent country is going to the dogs or you could marvel at the huge new Pretoria estate the athlete lived in, surrounded by other huge new middle class suburbs, where race is no longer such a big deal, and younger South Africans worry more about their mobile phones than about what life will be like after Mr Mandela.
The drive from Mr Pistorius' home to Johannesburg is an eye-opener. In the space of a few years the two cities have essentially merged. For the whole 40-minute drive new business parks and suburbs line the motorway.
It was perhaps fitting that a senior government minister chose this week - with Mr Mandela still in hospital - to declare a decisive break with the past.
We must stop "looking over our shoulder, we are responsible ourselves", said the Planning Minister Trevor Manuel.
He urged a gathering of civil servants to stop blaming apartheid for everything that was still going wrong in South Africa.
It was time to deliver.
The scars of apartheid are still real here. They will not be easily shrugged off.
Inequality endures and the economy is not growing anywhere near as fast as it needs to, unlike so many other corners of this continent.
But as South Africa waits to hear news, good or bad, about Nelson Mandela it is slowly coming to terms with the fact that its heroic years are over.
It may still be a dramatic, exciting, scary place.
But it is becoming ordinary too.

Multiple lawsuits filed against the National Football League (NFL) allege that it hid knowledge of concussion risks.
The average individual payout would be $190,000, with younger men receiving awards between $1m and $5m.
Players' lawyers say the money will be used to compensate families and for medical testing.
The NFL expects 6,000 of its approximately 20,000 retired players to develop Alzheimer's disease or dementia in their lives.
The deal could cost the league more than $1bn over 65 years.

One of the world's newest islands, it appeared over 15 months ago when an underwater eruption spewed so much lava that the rock rose above the sea's surface.
It has now grown to eleven times its original size and shows no sign of stopping.
Watch Martin's report to find out more.
Pulido, 25, appeared with a bandaged hand and told reporters he was "very well".
Officials said the rescue operation was carried out on Sunday night, without giving more details.
The striker plays for the Greek team Olympiakos and has made several appearances for Mexico's national team.
Pulido was kidnapped in Ciudad Victoria, in Tamaulipas state, on Saturday night, officials said in a statement (in Spanish).
Earlier reports said his abduction had taken place in the early hours of Sunday.
He had left a party with his girlfriend when their car was surrounded by several trucks, local media reported.
Six masked men reportedly took the striker away "by force" while his girlfriend was left unharmed in the car park where the incident took place.
Authorities did not give details of the rescue operation, which included federal and local officials.
Appearing outside a police office in the early hours of Monday, the player told reporters: "[I am] very well, thank God.''
Tamaulipas Governor, Egidio Torre Cantu, said: "The most important thing is that he is here, he is with us, and that's what we want to tell you."
Tamaulipas is one of Mexico's most violent states, and Mexico recently deployed more security forces to tackle cartels operating in the area.
The country has one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, with government figures saying some 1,000 people are abducted every year.
Others argue that the true figure could be almost 10 times as high.
Pulido joined Olympiakos last July and finished the season with six goals in 15 games.
He was part of Mexico's squad at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but was not called up for the upcoming Copa America tournament.
District Judge John Meehan did not name Mr Elliott in court.
However, the judge said the testimonial "crossed the line on the independence of the court".
Mr Elliott's letter made a case for the man to be spared a suspended sentence.
The judge said that, "to trespass upon the very sentencing process is as though to influence the court".
The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MP's letter was written for 37-year-old Andrew David Scarlett, of Granville Road in Dungannon.
In it, Mr Elliott said Scarlett would give a commitment not to drive while disqualified again.
He had been caught driving while he was disqualified and without insurance. A suspended sentence is the usual penalty for such offences.
Mr Elliott argued that Scarlett had a number of issues in life as a result of his time in the services, but Judge Meehan said his letter went too far.
"There is a clear indication here that a suspended sentence is unfair or disagreeable," he said. "This testimonial should not be before me.
"Solicitors are officers of the court. I ask solicitors not to present such improper correspondence to the court".
Addressing Scarlett he said: "It was foolhardy to drive. You knew you were disqualified in 2014. You are in defiance of a court order.
"Given the notorious dangers of a person who is unsuitable to be on the road, the public must be assured of a stern response. The court must also ensure its policy is not compromised."
Scarlett was sentenced to three months suspended for two years and disqualified from driving for a further two years.
This is the second time in as many weeks that Mr Elliott has become embroiled in controversy over references for former soldiers.
Earlier this month, he denied allegations that he had provided a character reference for convicted benefit cheat Clive Miller.
He did reveal that he had written a letter to the court , but he refused to reveal its contents and would only say it was not a character reference.
He said he intended to write to the Lord Chief Justice for clarification on exactly how his letter had been used in court.
The data from NatCen Social Research - based on the views of some 3,300 people - also shows a widespread anxiety about the prospect of further spending cuts.
But for the first time in nearly a decade, there was a rise in the number of those who think spending and taxes should be increased, the report says.
It comes after news the UK economy shrank by less than thought up to June.
The latest revised data from the Office for National Statistics found the economy contracted by 0.5% during the quarter between April and June - less than the 0.7% it announced in July.
The British Social Attitudes survey asks more than 3,000 people every year what it is like to live in Britain and how they think Britain is run.
Despite the tough economic climate, the study by independent social research agency NatCen reveals attitudes towards welfare and welfare claimants have toughened.
Only 28% of those asked wanted to see more spending on welfare - down from 35% at the beginning of the recession in 2008, and from 58% in 1991.
Report author and NatCen chief executive, Penny Young, said the study showed the public's view on welfare was "in tune... with the coalition's policies".
She said: "The recession doesn't seem to be changing things; attitudes continue to harden.
"One thing that we've seen is that even where groups are seen as perhaps more deserving - so retired people, disabled people - again for the first time since 2008 we've seen that the number of people who are prepared to see more money go on disability benefits has actually fallen."
And on immigration, the report suggests British people "strongly favour migrants they see to be socially beneficial", according to the report.
Some 51% would like to see immigration levels "reduce a lot", a figure which has risen from 39% in 1995.
The data also shows a further 24% would like to see levels "reduce a little".
Meanwhile, the proportion of people who want to see further public spending - even if this requires higher taxes - jumped from 31% to 36% between 2010 and 2011, after falling for nearly a decade from 63% in 2002.
More than half - 55% - would like spending levels to stay where they are.
At the same time, the report reveals many Britons are worried about the impact of spending cuts on public services, particularly education and health.
Satisfaction with the NHS fell from 70% in 2010 to 58% in 2011, according to the figures.
Shares in the biggest US car maker rose more than 2% after it raised its 2016 earnings forecast by 25 cents to between $5.25 and $5.75 per share.
GM also plans to raise its stock buyback programme by 80% to $9bn and extend it to the end of 2017.
In total it plans to give $16bn back to shareholders by the end of 2017.
GM executive Mary Barra said: "We made significant progress executing our strategic plan and the results are being demonstrated through our improved earnings."
Shares in rival car maker Ford fell more than 3.5% after it said US margins could hit a plateau of 9.5%.
Ford said on Tuesday it would give a special $1bn dividend, and that it expects pre-tax profit of between $10bn and $11bn in 2015.
But this figure was at the lower end of analyst expectations.
"Their guidance is in line or below what was expected," said Matthew Stover of Susquehanna Financial.

In among the flurry of executive orders signed by the new president in a rolling sequence of photo opportunities was one making a start on his long-promised 1,900 mile (3,100 km) southern border wall with Mexico.
The chant of "build that wall" was a fixed part of any Trump event during his election campaign last year.
It offered a seemingly easy solution to the problem of illegal immigration.
The country which is now Scotland has a long history with border walls stretching back to Roman times.
Hadrian's Wall, which was begun in AD 122, was a defensive fortification stretching from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea.
It was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, immediately north of which were the lands of the northern Ancient Britons, including the Picts.
Twenty years later construction began on the Antonine Wall, a turf fortification on stone foundations, built across what is now the Central Belt of Scotland, from modern Bo'ness on the Firth of Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the River Clyde.
It spanned about 39 miles (63km) and was about 3m (10 feet) high and 5 metres (16ft) wide.
The wall was entirely built by members of the three Roman legions stationed in Scotland, a labour force of about 7,000 men.
It was abandoned within a generation as the Romans moved back to Hadrian's Wall.
Most of the wall and its associated fortifications have been destroyed over time but some remains are still visible.
Despite being much less grand than Hadrian's Wall, the Antonine Wall was nevertheless a colossal demonstration of Roman power.
Bar Hill, near Cumbernauld, is the highest part of the wall and the fort here was designed not only to see but to be seen as well.
Dr Adrian Maldonado of Glasgow University's archaeology department says that was the intention of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius.
He says: "He needed to be seen as a victorious conqueror of Scotland.
"The Antonine Wall is the epitome of a symbolic victory.
"It is the biggest propaganda statement made in this part of the world until Hadrian's Wall is refurbished in the years after the Antonine Wall is abandoned."
Dr Maldonado says: "This is a good place to keep watch of who is coming through the wall.
"You're expecting people to be moving through and you're giving them lots of little entry ways and gates through the wall.
"They are allowing people through but they are keeping an eye on things."
Donald Trump says there will be a door in his wall. A big, beautiful one, of course.
And then there's the question of who will pay for Donald Trump's wall.
"No pagamos", says Mexico, "We're not paying" and President Trump admitted in an ABC interview that at least initially the US would be footing the bill.
Getting the various Caledonian tribes, barbarians as the Romans would have termed them, to pay for the Antonine Wall certainly wasn't an objective.
Dr Adrian Maldonado says the bill was footed by the Roman Empire but the barbarians paid in other ways.
He says: "There's some possibility that they were taxed officially or otherwise as they crossed.
"Over time they would have paid with their lives but the money is not coming from the barbarians. It's coming from the Roman Emperor."
The Israel-Palestine wall, the Great Wall of China, and the Berlin wall also have lessons to teach us from the past.
Scotland's ancient Antonine Wall tells us that such constructions can be as much about power projection as anything else but perhaps the main lesson from history is that walls come, and in the end walls tend to go.
The women, who were freed after several hours, were marking the deaths of 37 people who drowned while fleeing the island 20 years ago.
The government has always denied the group's allegation that the authorities deliberately sunk a tugboat in 1994.
For 10 years, its members have defied a protest ban on the Communist island by marching every week, dressed in white.
The "Ladies in White" say they were rounded-up by police on Sunday, as they tried to divert from their normal protest route in the capital, Havana.
More than 90 of them were bundled into buses off the city's smart 5th Avenue as they headed towards the seafront, they say.
The women were planning to lay flowers in memory of the adults and children who died when the tugboat they had hijacked sank as it was pursued by the Cuban authorities in Caribbean waters.
Dissident groups allege the vessel was rammed and flooded with water cannon, but the government has always maintained the sinking was an accident.
The women are routinely detained and their protests broken up, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Havana reports, but these days their march attracts minimal public interest.
However, the group's members say their protests have produced results, with all 75 political prisoners they have campaigned for now free.
The Cuban authorities say the "Ladies in White" are in the pay of the United States and form part of Washington's "decades-old effort to undermine Cuba's socialist revolution".
The 47-year-old joined the Addicks as assistant to Russell Slade last summer and had a three-game stint in charge in November after Slade was sacked.
Rossi Eames and Henry Newman had been in joint charge of Barnet since Martin Allen left to join National League side Eastleigh in December.
The Bees announced on Wednesday that Newman had left the club.
He and Eames won four of their 11 games in joint charge before Eames led the team to a 1-0 win over Morecambe on Tuesday.
Nugent has had caretaker spells in charge of Swansea, in 2007, and Leyton Orient, in 2009 and 2014, and the Barnet job is his first permanent managerial post.
He spent six months as first-team coach at Luton Town before moving to The Valley alongside Slade.
Chairman Tony Kleanthous told the club website: "Kevin Nugent is a highly respected coach within the game and comes to us with a wealth of experience at our level of football.
"He has been highly recommended as the man to help us with the task at hand, and we welcome his decision to join us.
"He will slot into our management structure, ably assisted by Rossi Eames, and they will be continuing with the recent progress."
Nugent's first game in charge of the Bees, who are three points off the play-off places, will be Saturday's home game against Portsmouth.
Four engines and an aerial appliance were called to the scene at the Hatton waste water treatment works outside Arbroath at about 02:20.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to tackle the flames, which had engulfed an oil tank.
The fire had been brought under control by 05:00.
An investigation will be carried out to establish the cause of the blaze.
Manufacturing output in the world's third-largest economy rose by 2.7% in September from a month earlier, beating forecasts for a 2.2% rise.
The regional benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose by 1.6% in Tokyo, marking its fourth day of gains.
Japan's Nikkei rose 1.5%, while South Korea's Kospi closed 1.8% higher.
Hong Kong stocks jumped 1.3% and the Shanghai Composite ended up 1.5%.
For many bourses across south-east Asia, it was also a sea of green with Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia all in positive territory.
The rises followed an upbeat performance on Wall Street overnight, where the S&P 500 jumped 1.2% to close near a record high.
Markets will now be watching for the outcome of the Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting, which finishes later on Wednesday.
The US central bank is expected to leave its key interest rate unchanged and possibly end its bond-buying stimulus programme.

Japanese airbag manufacturer Takata saw its shares fall by nearly 6% on Wednesday after it was hit with a consumer lawsuit in the US.
Investors will also be digesting a slew of Asian corporate earnings out on Wednesday.
Shares in casino operator Wynn Macau rose 4.9% in Hong Kong after its parent company released better-than-expected earnings despite rising costs.
Wynn Resorts saw revenues of $1.4bn (£869m) in the third quarter, which was higher than estimates because of a revival at its two Las Vegas casinos.
Japan's biggest investment bank, Nomura, rose as much as 4% in Tokyo after it posted strong quarterly results on Tuesday and announced a second share buyback programme.
British lender Standard Chartered did not fare as well, however. Its Hong Kong-listed shares fell to a five-year low after the firm issued a profit warning on Tuesday.
The Hammers were beaten 2-1 at Hull on Saturday, their fourth successive Premier League defeat - and have won only one of their past eight matches.
The loss left them 14th in the table, six points above the Tigers, who occupy the final relegation place.
"Despite speculation to the contrary, the manager's position is not under threat," said West Ham in a statement.
The Hammers' last victory came at Southampton on 4 February and they have won only three times this year.
The club added that Bilic had the "full backing the the playing squad" and the "overwhelming majority of supporters".
They also urged fans to "unite behind the manager, his staff and the squad as we go into some important games".
The 48-year-old Croat, a former West Ham and Everton defender, replaced Sam Allardyce at the London club in June 2015.
The ex-Croatia international guided them to seventh and a place in the Europa League in their final season at Upton Park before the move to the former Olympic Stadium, but the Hammers have lost 15 of their first 30 league games this term.
The three are civilians who were helping to remove mines, the UN says. They are believed to be two Congolese and a Zimbabwean.
Locals say their vehicle was found abandoned with the engine still running.
It is not yet clear who who kidnapped the trio or where they are being held.
They went missing on Thursday afternoon near Kibumba, a town about 19 km (11 miles) north of Goma, the main city in North Kivu province, reports BBC DR Congo correspondent Maud Jullien.
People in the area have told the BBC that the Congolese army presence there had been reduced over the past few weeks and that insecurity has since been on the rise.
Government officials have also been reporting incursions in the area by Rwandan soldiers.
Rwanda has denied this and the information cannot be independently verified.
Rwanda has twice sent its troops into DR Congo and was a key player in the conflict which led to the deaths of up to six million people.
The UN mission in DR Congo (Monusco) has more than 20,000 personnel - one of the world's biggest.
Monusco worked with the Congolese army to help flush out M23 rebels from North Kivu in 2013.
A similar operation was due to start against another rebel group in the region, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, earlier this year, but a dispute over two Congolese generals accused of human rights abuses ended that cooperation.
Price comparison website Energyhelpline claimed there was a postcode lottery when considering prices in different regions of Britain.
It found people in Scotland would save the most by moving from quarterly bills paid by cheque to the cheapest tariff.
The cost of delivering energy creates different prices in different regions.
Mark Todd, co-founder of Energyhelpline, said that there was no consistent price for energy in the UK.
The research suggested that, this winter, the typical annual gas and electricity bill when paying quarterly by cheque ranged from £1,227 in Merseyside and North Wales to £1,144 in the East Midlands.
The gap between the cheapest deals available ranged from £813 in South West England to £721 in central and southern Scotland.
On average, there would be a £416 saving by switching from paying an energy bill quarterly to the cheapest deal.
This saving again depends on where the consumer lives, with a potential cut in bills of £456 in Scotland compared with a £369 cut in the South West of England - a gap of £87.
"The statistics prove there is a big problem for consumers struggling with their bills and that there is a very unfair energy postcode lottery in operation," Mr Todd said.
"Another big problem is that there tends to be less switching in poorer areas where consumers often lack confidence to switch."
Mr Todd suggested there should be a price cap set by the government "to prevent exploitation of those who never switch".
The regulator, Ofgem, said it was open to the idea of a safety net cheap tariff for vulnerable customers.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating the energy market and prices paid by customers.
In recent days, four of the major UK energy suppliers have announced cuts to their variable gas tariffs following falls in wholesale prices.
Mr Santos said the country would enter a new era if the talks, which started in 2012, were successfully concluded.
A previous deadline set by Mr Santos to complete the negotiations with the rebels was missed on 23 March.
More than 220,000 people have died in five decades of the armed conflict.
The peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the Marxist guerrilla group have lasted a lot longer than initially envisioned by President Santos.
What Colombians say about the peace process
What is at stake in the Colombian peace process?
Formal talks started in the Cuban capital, Havana, in November 2012. They were preceded by two years of secret talks.
At an unprecedented meeting with the Farc leader known as Timochenko in Havana last September, the president set a deadline of 23 March 2016 for the talks to be concluded.
But as that deadline approached, both sides said that important differences remained and that they needed more time to reach a final agreement.
At the time, Mr Santos said he did not want to rush into "signing a bad agreement".
He also said that setting a date on the talks to be concluded, had been "risky".
Negotiations have continued apace in Havana since then.
Final points under discussion include a bilateral ceasefire, the decommissioning of the rebels' weapons and guarantees for their safety once they down arms.
A peace deal to end the Western Hemisphere's longest-running conflict would be seen as a coup for President Santos, who cannot stand for election again after two terms in office.
However, the Farc are not the only guerrilla group active in Colombia.
The government earlier this year announced it would also enter into formal peace talks with the smaller National Liberation Army (ELN).
But those talks, which were due to start in Ecuador in May, have been put on hold over a disagreement over kidnappings, which the government wants the ELN to stop for good.
More than 220,000 people have been killed and close to seven million displaced as a result of Colombia's armed conflict, which began in the 1960s.
A top-five finish would have secured the title for Kent, who could become the first Briton in 38 years to win a grand prix motorcycle world title.
The race was won by Miguel Oliveira who is second in the standings, 24 points adrift of 21-year-old Kent.
Kent will win the title if he finishes in the top 14 in the final race in Valencia, Spain, on 8 November.
"It's a little bit frustrating," said Kent.
"It was clear that our bike was too slow, so I wasn't able to pass someone out of the slipstream.
"So we now go to Valencia where we need to score two points."
Britain's last grand prix motorcycle world champion was Barry Sheene in the 500cc category in 1977.
Wiltshire rider Kent made his grand prix debut in the 125cc class at the British Grand Prix five years ago.
Brazilian authorities say there will be no risk to athletes and spectators, except pregnant women, when the Rio Games take place in August.
Modern pentathlete Samantha Murray, 26, said the virus was a concern.
But she said she had been assured by British officials that "everything is being done to prepare the team".
Murray won a silver medal at the 2012 Games in London and is hoping to be on the podium again in Rio.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Zika virus a global public health emergency.
That puts it in the same category of importance as Ebola.
No vaccine or treatment exists for the virus.
The International Olympic Committee has said Rio will be safe and venues will be inspected daily before and during the Games to minimise the impact of the virus.
Carried by mosquitoes, it has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains.
There have been about 4,000 reported cases of microcephaly in Brazil alone since October.
There is no vaccine or medication to stop Zika.
The only way to avoid catching it is to avoid getting bitten by the Aedes mosquitoes that transmit the infection.
Badminton player Gail Emms, who won Olympic silver in the mixed doubles at the 2004 Games, said the virus would be playing on her mind if she was due to compete in Rio.
"I'd be in a very uncomfortable situation," she said. "You would feel frustrated, angry, and really worried about your friends and family."
"It's just devastating because this is something that's your dream and you want it to go perfectly.
"As a mother, I can only hope the best solution can be found quickly. I see the pictures and reports and I cry."
British rower Kath Grainger, who is attempting to qualify for Rio, described the situation as "sad".
"From a selfish point of view, this is the culmination of our careers where we try and make our mark on the world of sport," the 2012 gold medallist told BBC Sport.
"Yet suddenly you have this flip side which is quite a serious health hazard and potential risk."
The 40-year-old Scot added it was reassuring to know the British Olympic Association was seeking advice and taking precautions.
"I think it is important to keep informed but not to raise the fear factor," she said.
European 10,000m champion Jo Pavey said her "heart goes out" to parents of children with microcephaly.
She added that every athlete, official and spectator going to Rio would have to "think carefully" about the dangers posed to their health.
The Briton, 42, also said she would think twice about taking her family to Rio should she gain selection.
"I wouldn't want to put my family or children at risk," she told the BBC.
A spokesperson said Rio organisers had not yet seen evidence of people cancelling travel to the Games.
Communications director Mario Andrada said the organising committee would follow travel guidelines issued by the WHO.
He has advised that athletes and tourists should wear appropriate clothing, close windows and use repellent.
He also pointed out that August, when the Games take place, is the Brazilian winter, when mosquito numbers fall sharply.
Double Olympic backstroke champion Kirsty Coventry says she still intends to travel to Rio as she chase more Olympic success.
"My aims and goals are still set on going to Rio and competing," the 32-year-old Zimbabwean told BBC World.
"I think we athletes are going to be safe. There is no sense of putting on the brakes in terms trying to get to Rio."
One of Africa's most successful swimmers, she added: "It seems like a terrible virus, especially for pregnant women, but I believe there is enough time to get a better understanding of what is going on."
N'Gala made five league appearances for Dover after joining in February following his release by Eastleigh.
The 27-year-old had been set to join League One side Gillingham before signing for Dover, but Fifa regulations prevented him from completing the deal.
N'Gala is the Daggers' fourth signing since the end of last season.

Scotland play Georgia one week later.
The venue and kick-off time for that third Test has yet to be confirmed, but what is certain is that it will be the first time Georgia have played a touring Test match in Scotland.
The nations have met only once previously when fly-half Dan Parks scored four penalties and a drop-goal in a 15-6 win for Scotland in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The hosts enjoyed a 9-8 win over Australia in Edinburgh in 2009 and ran in four tries last November to beat the Pumas 41-31.
Scottish Rugby chief operating officer Dominic McKay said: "We have had many fantastic matches against Australia and Argentina at BT Murrayfield in the past and we're looking forward to more of the same when they come to Edinburgh next year.
"The Georgians won over thousands of new fans with their performances in the Rugby World Cup, defeating Namibia and Tonga to take them from tournament debutants in 2003 to securing automatic qualification as one of the top 12 teams in RWC 2019.
"I'm sure they'll get a great reception when they come to Scotland for the first time for this historic Test."

16 Air Assault Brigade, based in Colchester, Essex, honoured 58 of its soldiers killed during operations between 2002 and 2014.
Twenty-seven of them were from East Anglia, an Army spokesman said.
About 1,000 service personnel took part in the parade at Colchester Garrison.
The parade, which was attended by soldiers and civilian support staff, formally marked the end of the brigade's involvement in Afghanistan.
Suffolk-based personnel also attended the service from the army airbase at Wattisham and Rock Barracks near Woodbridge.
In 2002, 16 Air Assault Brigade provided security after the overthrow of the Taliban.
Four years later, the brigade led the first major deployment into Helmand Province.
Its Apache attack helicopters were deployed from 2006 until British combat operations ended last year.
During the parade, the names of the brigade's soldiers who were killed were read out.
Cpl David Whittaker, from 16 Medical Regiment, said: "It sent shivers down my spine. I remember treating a number of those [whose names were read out]."
16 Air Assault is the only brigade to have done three full tours of Helmand.
Brigade senior chaplain the Rev Alan Steele said: "For the soldiers, it was chance to mark an end to the brigade's presence in Afghanistan, but also to remember their comrades who died.
"Personally, one of the things I've taken away is the tremendous professionalism of our soldiers."
Josh Meekings, 24, denied causing offences aggravated by sexual orientation prejudice in an Inverness street on 20 December 2015.
He was arrested by police officers who heard the defender's alleged remark to an unidentified man.
Sentence had been deferred on Meekings for six months for good behaviour.
He was given an absolute discharge after Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood heard that he had behaved himself.
The footballer was not required to appear in court and was represented by his solicitor.
The court had heard previously that Meekings allegedly shouted homophobic abuse at a man who had made a racist comment to him.
The poll, ordered by Bloomberg Politics and The Des Moines Register, gave Mr Cruz a 10-point lead over Mr Trump.
Iowa helps shape the race to the White House by being the first state to hold a caucus deciding each party's nominee.
The latest survey suggests a higher chance of a bitter, protracted primary.
According to the New York Times, the arch-conservative Mr Cruz could emerge as the preferred nominee of far-right Republicans, competing against Mr Trump - cast as an anti-establishment candidate - and against a possible third candidate representing the centre-right of the party.
Both Mr Cruz and Mr Trump have been campaigning heavily in Iowa, and hope victory in the 1 February caucus will galvanise their race for the Republican nomination.
In the poll, 31% of respondents wanted Mr Cruz to secure the nomination, compared with 21% naming Mr Trump as their first choice.
Five things to know about Ted Cruz
Mr Trump attacked The Des Moines Register's credibility before the poll was released, describing the paper as "dishonest" and singling out its lead political reporter as "the worst".
Mr Trump and Mr Cruz have also been trading barbs in recorded statements and on Twitter, prompting speculation that an unofficial pact between the two men has unravelled.
The relationship between the two candidates was until recently thought to be cordial, based on remarks they had made about each other to the press.
There was more good news for the Texas senator in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll, which had him surging into second place behind Mr Trump, with Ben Carson dropping 18 points to fourth place.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Radio 2 presenter Evans said he had tried his best at the helm of the motoring show, but it "was not meant to be".
Friends star LeBlanc was "the man" and a "total mensch", Evans said, contrary to reports the pair's relationship broke down during filming.
Evans announced he was stepping down from the BBC Two show after one series.
His resignation came after falling ratings for the show - which hit a series low on its last episode, with an average of 1.9 million viewers.

Chris Evans resignation reaction
In February, a BBC boss denied reports in the press that Evans's behaviour during filming had been unprofessional, calling them "rubbish".
Suggestions that Evans had not supported the signing of LeBlanc were "simply not true" and the team was "tight-knit", acting director of BBC Television Mark Linsey added.
Evans said working on Top Gear had been an "honour, privilege and a pleasure", but he had been "a square peg in a round hole".
However, the series had showed LeBlanc and Top Gear "were made for each other", he said.
"For me, he is the man. He is the captain Top Gear truly needs going forward, the perfect torso for the rest of TG's limbs," he wrote.
"Not only does he eat, sleep, breathe and dream engines, propshafts and trail-braking, but the overwhelming quality that struck me about him is that he's just such a pro.
"The whole time I worked with him, he never once looked at the clock, was never late on set, knew his lines inside out and back to front and, most importantly on such an intense production, he always had time for everyone, especially the crew."
Evans said working on the programme for a year had been a "dream" and "the Top Gear ship has been steadily refloated" following the departure of former presenting team Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
He also paid tribute to the production team for their work on bringing the popular programme back on screen.
"The Top Gear gang are the most driven (forgive the pun) and dedicated I have ever worked with," he said.
"There is nothing those guys won't do to make every second of on-air content shine to its maximum potential."
The BBC said it had no plans to replace Evans when Top Gear returns for a 24th season.
Clarkson, Hammond and May's new venture with Amazon, the Grand Tour, is expected to be released in the autumn.
Street artist ATM is painting the artwork on the side of a pub in Ipswich.
The mural is part of Suffolk Wildlife Trust's campaign to make the town more hedgehog-friendly.
The trust has already appointed a hedgehog officer for Ipswich and is overseeing the project with the artist, who is known for his wildlife murals.
ATM said he agreed to paint the mural of the mammal to "communicate how unique and beautiful these things are".

The London-based artist specialises in painting endangered species in urban environments
The acrylic artwork was started on the side of the Swan pub in King Street on Tuesday and is expected to be completed on Thursday.
Almost 12,000 hedgehogs, dead and alive, have been recorded in Suffolk over the past two years, with about 2,500 of these around Ipswich.
The trust said there was a "rich natural network" for hedgehogs to move around the town.
Artist ATM said: "I just hope people think about hedgehogs and wildlife in general.
"For example, not use weedkillers on their plants, not use slug pellets... think about hedgehogs' needs."
The mural is being created during Hedgehog Awareness Week, a national campaign run by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
The letter, from the college's Northern Ireland director, questions why it has yet to be approached.
Health Minister Simon Hamilton said in January he intended to set up a group.
He said it would make recommendations on how the issue of fatal foetal abnormality could be addressed.
The group, he said, would include leading clinicians and people with a legal background.
Unlike other parts of the UK, the Abortion Act 1967 does not extend to Northern Ireland.
A termination is only allowed in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health.
In the letter, seen by the BBC, college director Breedagh Hughes requests details on the membership, terms of reference and work plan for the group.
She goes on to say she has spoken to Northern Ireland's chief medical officer, who was unable to provide her with any information.
Ms Hughes adds in the letter she is "somewhat surprised that the RCM has not been contacted to contribute to the work".
She said she had been left "very frustrated" by the apparent delay.
"I think it is crucial that all of those who are caring for women in this situation contribute to the work of this group," she said.
"I think it is even more important that there should be a user representative on this group because at the end of the day, this is to some extent about health care professionals providing care for women but mostly this is about women, and women are every bit as much in the dark about when they might be entitled to a lawful termination of pregnancy in Northern Ireland and when they may not."
There has been pressure from health professionals, charities and members of the public to try to resolve the issue.
A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis means doctors believe an unborn child has a terminal condition and will die in the womb or shortly after birth.
A proposal to allow abortion in such cases was defeated in the Northern Ireland Assembly by 59 votes to 40.
The result followed a passionate debate at Stormont after some MLAs proposed the law change be introduced by way of an amendment to the Justice Bill.
Northern Ireland's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has said it is also waiting on contact from the Department of Health.
Mr Hamilton said after briefing the Northern Ireland Executive he plans to give the matter further consideration.
"Fatal foetal abnormality has proved a sensitive and controversial matter which requires careful and measured consideration," he said.
"The working group will consult with interested parties, including those who have been affected.
"I remain fully determined to meet the commitment for the working group to report within six months."
The Justice Minister, David Ford, said: "Two and a half years ago, I asked the then health minister to have a joint approach to a consultation between the two departments to deal with issues of abortion because there were matters which fell to him and matters which fell to me.
"We're now on the third DUP health minister and we still haven't got to any agreement of doing joined working like we're supposed to do."
The 27-year-old will be part of the County side looking to stay in the Football League with a win over Notts County at Rodney Parade on Saturday.
He has been rewarded for his part in the Exiles' potential 'great escape'.
"I haven't done it myself, a lot of people in the changing room have helped me win this award," said Demetriou.
He arrived at Rodney Parade in January and has been a vital member of the County side since caretaker boss Mike Flynn came in when Newport were 11 points from safety and seemingly doomed.
In April, Demetriou earned his award, not just for helping a defence that kept four clean-sheets, but also scoring three goals.
"I don't know how many defenders have won it, but scoring goals has probably helped," said Demetriou.
"I do like to try to score some goals during the season, but I didn't think I would score that many in one month.
"But although I've scored the goals, we've also kept clean-sheets in those games too.
"I can't take all the credit for the wins. There are 10 other players out there on the pitch which have kept clean-sheets and picked up those invaluable points."
A record sell-out 7,500 crowd for a football match will be at Rodney Parade to see if County can avoid the drop against Notts County.
If title-chasing Doncaster win at Hartlepool, County will stay up regardless of their own showing.
But Demetriou, who helped his previous club Shrewsbury into League One two years ago, said he and his teammates were determined to get the job done themselves.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I've not known this kind of pressure before," Demetriou said.
"I was lucky enough at Shrewsbury to have the pressure at the other end of the table and come out on top so hopefully this time we will be in the same sort of pressure and take the win again.
"Notts County will be out to spoil the party, but we've got it in our own hands for the first time since I've been here anyway and hopefully we can take that chance.
"It's not just about us as footballers, it's about the whole team, the whole club, the whole town.
"If Newport go out the Football League it will be a massive thing.
"The chairman has already said he doesn't know what will happen if they do so we are hopefully going to make that not happen."
Demetriou will discuss his future at the Welsh club once the season is over.
But for Konstantin Goldentsvayg, until recently the Berlin correspondent for Gazprom-Media's NTV, the compromises of conscience involved in broadcasting things like this have proved too much.
Goldentsvayg was sacked last week after giving an interview to German TV in which he suggested that President Vladimir Putin had felt "insulted" at being excluded from the G7. He also referred to the president's "well-known cynicism" and accused him of wanting to prolong the instability in Ukraine.
It was an assessment wildly at variance with his own report on the G7 summit, which he had dismissed as an "expensive talking-shop".
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel hosted other heads of leading industrialised nations in Bavaria last week.
As Goldentsvayg later explained on Facebook, he had in fact already decided to leave NTV after working for the channel for 12 years. The interview with German TV merely hastened his departure and made it more sensational.
Writing on Facebook, he also apologised for the part he had played in the "general propaganda madness".
A few days later, Goldentsvayg gave an interview to liberal website Meduza, in which he described in detail the pressures he was subject to as a reporter on one of Russia's three main TV channels.
A couple of years ago, he said, he had tried to keep propaganda in his reports to a minimum by concentrating on non-political stories, usually with a cultural slant.
But as the Ukraine crisis developed that became virtually impossible. He was bombarded with instructions on what stories he should cover and how he should cover them - President Putin is the victim of a "dirty campaign", Chancellor Merkel is an "American puppet" and so on.
Some of these messages appeared to come right from the Kremlin, he said.
At the same time, more and more of his reports were altered to keep them on-message.
"Gradually, I learnt to compromise with myself," he told Meduza, describing how he soon found himself self-censoring his reports because he knew they would be cut or revised in any case.
But, eventually, enough was enough. "It's simply that you were trained for one trade - journalism - and you find yourself at times doing something completely different. And you realise that the longer you do this rubbish, the harder it will be to get out of this rut," he said.
According to Goldentsvayg, he is by no means alone in facing this dilemma. Yes, he said, there are people at NTV who sincerely believe that fascists have seized power in Ukraine and that Russia "saved Crimea from destruction". But there are also a "large number of thoughtful and sound people still at the channel", he told Meduza.
Goldentsvayg's exit from NTV has not been as dramatic as Liz Wahl's on-air resignation from the Kremlin's English-language channel RT last year. But it is the first time that a frontline journalist on one of Russia's main channels has broken ranks since the start of the Ukraine crisis.
It is an act that has won him both praise and criticism. His critics include Kremlin loyalists, but also those who think it took him far too long to get out.
Meanwhile, his future and that of his young family are uncertain.
Before the scandal over his TV interview, Goldentsvayg had hoped to get a job at another channel, perhaps on a non-political show.
This now looks unlikely.

The Orchard Centre, in Didcot, was evacuated following a report of a suspicious item at Sainsbury's.
The area remained cordoned off until lunchtime on Monday whilst police investigated the item.
Police confirmed it was "not a danger to the public" and a 35-year-old man, from Didcot, was arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax.
Insp Adrian Lewis, of Thames Valley Police, said: "I would like to thank the community for their patience while officers secured the immediate area."
In a tweet, the force said the item was "made safe" before investigators confirmed it was not dangerous.
Mayor of Didcot, Councillor Jackie Billington said: "All credit to our emergency services who put the cordon in place immediately."
Insp Lewis said: "I'd like to reassure people the incident is not being linked to recent terrorism events in Manchester."
He added people should continue to report anything suspicious: "Information from the public is always very important - you are also our eyes and ears."
Police said the 35-year-old man, who was arrested, has been released under investigation and enquires continue.
He made the remarks during a debate on the use of the union flag on Northern Ireland driving licences.
Mr Flanagan said that he fully accepted the ruling of the Speaker.
He had been punished by Mr McLaughlin for challenging the authority of the chair.
It was stated that Mr Flanagan would not be called to speak in the assembly until further notice after being found to have made "provocative" comments.
He was found to have challenged the authority of deputy speaker Roy Beggs.
Mr Flanagan, an MLA for Fermanagh/South Tyrone, complained about the way the debate was being chaired after he was interrupted by unionists.
Mr McLaughlin said his party colleague had been provocative.
He said the punishment could be lifted by an apology to the House. | "All hell will break loose," said the voice on the radio.

It was the country's biggest evacuation for an unexploded bomb since the end of the war.
The 1.8-tonne British explosive is thought to have come from a 1944 air raid, which destroyed the old town.
German police later announced that the bomb had been made safe.
Officials chose Christmas Day for the evacuation because it was less difficult than on a normal working day.
The bomb was uncovered during construction work on Tuesday.
Augsburg mayor Kurt Gribl, speaking in a video posted on the city's Twitter account as the evacuation began, called for "each person to verify that their relatives, parents and friends have found places to stay outside the [security] zone ... Look out for one another."
The authorities were confident that most people affected could stay with friends or family, but a number of schools and sports halls were opened as shelters for those in need.
Most Germans celebrating Christmas open their presents and have their main festive meal on 24 December, rather than Christmas Day.

Stuart Young preyed on the children between November 2008 and December 2013 at various locations in Edinburgh.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard the attacks on the one-day-old boy continued until he was aged three months.
A jury convicted Young on two charges of rape and another of sexual assault. Sentence was deferred.
The week-long trial heard how, in November 2008, Young raped a girl who was aged just six months.
He continued to sexually assault her until December 2013 when she was aged five.
In July 2013, he abused a nine-year-old girl at an address in the capital's Stenhouse area.
Following conviction, temporary judge Paul Arthurson QC deferred sentence for the court to obtain reports about Young's character.
The judge warned Young, who lived in Sighthill, Edinburgh, to expect a lengthy prison sentence.
Judge Arthurson said: "You have been convicted of some truly depraved and despicable crimes.
"You should expect a sentence to reflect your level of criminality."
Young, who has previous convictions for non-analogous offences, had entered not guilty pleas and denied any wrongdoing.
The details of the case were so traumatic that jurors have been excused from serving on another jury for five years.
Defence solicitor advocate Ian Paterson told the court that his client realised that he was going to be sent to prison.
He said: "Mr Young expects that a substantial period of imprisonment will be imposed upon him."
Sheriff Arthurson deferred sentence and Young swore as he left the dock with two security officers who were taking him to the court room cells.
Young was also placed on the sex offenders register. He will be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on 28 May.
Det Insp Douglas Moran, of Police Scotland, said specialist support was being given to Young's victims and their families.
He said: "Thanks to the bravery of these two little girls in speaking up about the horrific abuse Young inflicted upon them, their physical ordeal is over and their tormentor is now facing a considerable prison sentence. The baby boy was given a voice so he too could be spared further suffering.
"However they, and their families, have had to live through Young's catalogue of offending again since he refused to accept responsibility for his actions and subjected them to a trial.
"Specialist support continues to be provided to the children and their families, and I hope they take comfort that he is now behind bars."
The complaint against the businessman was first made in October 2013, and an investigation was held, but no action was taken.
A spokesman for the Met said the force was now reassessing that inquiry after receiving new information.
Mr Al Fayed, 86, has strongly denied the allegations.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Mr Al Fayed said in a statement: "I am saddened that, after extensive investigations by the Metropolitan Police Service in 2013, the original complainant feels compelled to request the MPS to review their original decision.
"I fully co-operated with the MPS during their initial investigations after which no charges were brought against me and the file was closed.
"As I said originally, I completely deny any wrongdoing in this matter and refute the complainant's allegations."

Recent sightings of brand new Russian armoured vehicles in Syria, of types never previously supplied to its ally, suggest that with the Assad regime suffering serious reverses, Moscow is intent on redressing the military balance.
On 20 August, a heavily-laden Alligator class landing ship of the Russian Navy, the Nikolay Filchenkov, was seen passing southwards through the Bosphorus.
On board, according to experts who have analysed the images, were trucks and armoured vehicles.
The ship was believed to be on its way to Syria.
Subsequently, the Syrian army has released video material that shows seemingly brand new BTR-82A infantry combat vehicles in action or on exercises - a variant of the vehicle that has never before been supplied to the Syrian military.
The vehicles appear to be in a Russian paint scheme and thus may have been taken straight from Russian army stocks.
Separate images have emerged of Russian Tigre military utility vehicles; again a type that has not been exported to Syria before.
Caution must always be used when analysing this kind of material.
But Joseph Dempsey, an expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, says that the images "if authentic, provide strong evidence of the BTR-82A and Tigr being in Syria".
The delivery of these weapons raises all sorts of questions.
Why should new types not previously operated by the Syrians be supplied by Russia rather than older vehicles - like the BMP-tracked combat vehicle with which the Syrian army is familiar?
Syria did receive a small number of the related BTR-80 armoured personnel carrier in late 2013/early 2014 but the BTR-82A has a more modern and very different turret and weapons station.
Is this the first delivery of many? And who actually is operating the system?
Russia is one of the Syrian president's few foreign allies. It has long been a major arms supplier to Syria and, in the current crisis, it has given the Syrian regime important diplomatic support.
Russia was instrumental in helping to negotiate the deal in 2013 under which the Assad regime gave up its chemical weapons.
Russia has long maintained a small naval base on the Syrian coast at Tartus. It represents a toehold for Russian influence in the region that peaked during the 1970s at the height of the Cold War.
However, the Syrian crisis has alarmed Moscow.
It is every bit as concerned by the rise of the murderous religious radicals of the so-called Islamic State (IS) movement as is the West.
Russia did not respond to the upheavals of the "Arab Spring" with the enthusiasm of many Western governments.
And in retrospect, given that hopes for a democratic surge through the region have collapsed, Russia's hard-headed pragmatism looks to be a little more realistic than much of the West's "aspirational" diplomacy.
The Syria crisis also provides Russia with an opportunity. Its ties to the Assad regime make it a key player.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has forcefully reiterated Russia's position that the departure of Mr Assad cannot be a condition for any peace deal.
Such demands, he says, are "totally unrealistic and counterproductive".
Russia insists that it is working to create what it calls a "broad anti-terrorist front" to counter IS.
But the crucial thing for Russia is that the Assad regime must survive, whatever Mr Assad's personal fate in the longer term.
Much of the attention over recent weeks has focused on Russia's diplomatic efforts regarding Syria; its talks with senior Saudi and Iranian officials, for example.
But, in the meantime, things have not been going well for Mr Assad on the ground, with his opponents pressing ever closer to the Alawite heartland - the coastal basin to the east of the Mediterranean, inland from Latakia and Tartus.
Amidst the uncertainty, a host of rumours are flying round of a much greater Russian role. Russia has denied that it recently delivered advanced warplanes to Syria.
Some Israeli analysts, for example, believe that Russia is preparing to use its own aircraft against IS and might even be willing to play a greater role on the ground if the Assad regime's fortunes do not change.
This for now may be little more than speculation.
The Russians themselves have denied that any aircraft have been deployed to Syria to prepare for strikes against IS.
One expert, Ruslan Pukhov, a spokesman for Russia's arms industry, believes that what the Syrian forces require right now is "ammunition, light weapons, communications and UAVs [drones]".
But the signal from the Nikolay Filchenkov may be that if needed, Russia is willing to provide a good deal more.
The pro-Kremlin state-controlled outlets depict the Ukrainian soldiers retreating from Debaltseve as victims of a callous political leadership.
A correspondent for English-language TV news channel RT says Ukrainian commanders have left "thousands" of their soldiers in Debaltseve "highly demoralised, low on ammunition and low on supplies.
"They had little sleep and their situation is quite desperate," he adds of the soldiers.
The domestic rolling news channel Rossiya 24 adopts a similar tack.
"The commanders of the units encircled near Debaltseve have fled, leaving their fighters to the mercy of fate," the channel's presenter says.
The channel also makes a point of stressing that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko "continues to say" that Ukrainian troops were not encircled in Debaltseve.
On the Ukrainian side, there is anger at perceived gamesmanship by Russian President Vladimir Putin over Debaltseve and the truce - as well as a lively debate about the performance of the Ukrainian leadership.
Ukrainian MP Oleksy Honcharenko, who spent two days near Debaltseve, even calls for Mr Putin to be tried at The Hague.
"What happened in Debaltseve is a crime against humanity," he writes on the Ukrayinska Pravda news website. "The ceasefire was not observed even for one hour at Debaltseve."
"Putin is willing to sacrifice on the altar of the 'Russian World' the lives of thousands of Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine whom he allegedly came to protect," Mr Honcharenko adds, referring to Mr Putin's claim to be the leader and protector of ethnic Russians everywhere.
Journalist Viktor Tregubov believes Mr Putin's real aim is to sow dissent in Ukrainian ranks and fatally weaken the country's pro-Western leadership.
"What I'm scared of the most is a coup attempt, more than any problems on the front," he writes on his Facebook page.
"Putin is staking everything on it, more than on any military victory.
"Any further discord and the enemy will be in Kiev," he warns, "and no-one in Europe will mind because it will look like the best option for them. And no heroism will save us."
Yury Dobronravin - a widely-followed IT engineer who took part in the Maidan protests and has spent time on the front with Ukrainian troops - is even more pessimistic.
"Putin is preparing the next stage of destroying Ukraine for today or tomorrow, which is a riot that will turn into a coup," he writes on Facebook.
"All the hotheads must understand that a coup is the ONLY scenario for Putin's victory in this war - his LAST chance to save Russia from collapsing."
Semen Semenchenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament who leads the volunteer Donbass Battalion, says it is time for army chief Viktor Muzhenko and other top officers to take responsibility for the setback at Debaltseve and resign.
"The chief of the General Staff must be held to account. The clueless leadership must go and stop wasting the lives of our guys."
But Yury Biryukov - a presidential aide and support volunteer - insists there is no alternative to Ukraine's current military leadership, despite its "many and frequent mistakes".
By delaying the withdrawal from Debaltseve, he argues, Ukraine was at least able to ensure that its Western partners "registered the fact that Russia violated the Minsk agreements".
Pundit Taras Berezovets also defends the authorities' performance, adding that Russia failed to turn Debaltseve into a repeat of the Battle of Ilovaisk in August, when Ukrainian forces suffered a damaging defeat at the hands of pro-Moscow rebels.
He adds that as a result of the continued fighting in Debaltseve, Mr Putin has left US President Barack Obama "without his last argument against supplying Ukraine with defensive and lethal weapons".

At 43 (or 100 in rhino years), Sudan is described as "one of a kind", who likes to eat grass and chill in the mud.
Attempts to mate the animal - who lives in Kenya - with only two surviving females have failed.
Conservationists say they need to raise $10m (£7.8m) to develop in vitro fertilisation (IVF) methods for rhinos.
"It's never ever has been done in rhinos before," Richard Vigne, head of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, told the BBC.
"This is a 10-year programme to recover that species.
"We'll hopefully keep him alive as long as we can - but we are in a race against time if we are going to recover this species."
On Tinder, Sudan's profile reads: "I don't mean to be too forward, but the fate of my species literally depends on me.
"I perform well under pressure... 6ft (183cm) tall and 5,000lb (2,268kg) if it matters."
In a joint campaign launched by Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Tinder, app users now have an option to donate when they open Sudan's profile.
Scientists in several countries are currently testing how to use IVF techniques on the two northern white rhino females.
They also do not rule out using Sudan's sperm for IVF with southern white rhinos - although they are a distinct species. Still the crossing option would be better than extinction, they say.
Sudan - who is often described as "the most eligible bachelor in the world" - has his own team of armed bodyguards, who are protecting him around the clock.
Countless TV shows have been made about the ageing animal.
Northern whites are the only rhinos that can survive in the wild in central Africa.
But they have been hunted into near extinction by poachers who target their horns.
Sir Elton called 13-year-old Tallia Storm on her mobile after listening to a CD she had given to the star's partner, David Furnish.
Soul singer Tallia said it was "surreal" to speak to Sir Elton, who was one of her musical heroes.
She will perform at the Falkirk Stadium concert on 10 June - the only Scottish date on Sir Elton's 2012 UK tour.
Tallia spotted Mr Furnish when she was on holiday abroad this Christmas and gave him a letter and CD to pass on to Sir Elton. The singer called her the following day.
The 13-year-old, from Killearn in Stirling, said: "I really didn't know what to say at first but he was so excited about my music and said he thought my signature was incredible.
"He was just so nice, warm and totally down to earth. We spoke a few times and then he called my mum that night to explain what he had in mind.
"I don't actually think I will take it all in until I am standing on his stage at Falkirk - someone will have to pinch me for sure."
The channel will have a budget of £30m, equivalent to the amount spent on BBC4.
The plans for the channel include a Scottish news hour at 9pm which will broadcast stories from Scotland, the UK and the world.
The director-general also announced an increase of about £20m a year for Scotland to make UK-wide programmes.
The BBC's Scotland editor Sarah Smith on the new "Scottish Nine"
Brian Taylor: It's a 'yes' to BBC Scotland's new TV channel
He said this would be focused on drama and factual programming.
The key points of the new channel - which will be called BBC Scotland - are:
Lord Hall described it as the biggest single investment in broadcast content in Scotland for more than 20 years.
Scotland should receive about £40m in new funding annually - £19m for the new channel and digital developments, and £20m for making network programmes.
It is hoped that spending on network programmes made in Scotland for a UK-wide BBC audience will rise from about £65m this year to closer to £90m over the next three years.
Lord Hall said: "We know that viewers in Scotland love BBC television but we also know that they want us to better reflect their lives and better reflect modern Scotland.
"The best way of achieving this is a dedicated channel for Scotland.
"It's a channel that will be bold, creative and ambitious, with a brand-new Scotland-edited international news programme at its heart."
The new BBC TV channel for Scotland will broadcast every evening and will show drama, factual, comedy and news programmes made in Scotland.
The development of a nightly news hour at 9pm means that the news output on BBC One in Scotland will remain in its current form.
There had been calls for a "Scottish Six", which would integrate the main BBC News at Six from London and Reporting Scotland in a news hour.
It would provide UK, Scottish and international stories from a Scottish perspective.
The proposals for a Scottish Six were in response to criticism that the News at Six often featured stories - for example on education and health - that had little relevance to Scottish audiences.
The Scottish government argued the BBC needed to "catch up" with devolution and to give its Scottish operation greater control of budgets, staffing and decision making.
Responding to the latest announcement, SNP MP John Nicolson said he welcomed the new channel and extra investment for Scotland.
However, he said he was "disappointed" the BBC had "killed off" the idea of separate Scottish Six news on BBC One.
He said: ""You just have to watch the running order of the main BBC news.
"Quite often they will lead on an English health story then there will be an English transport story. It will often have three English stories in its running order.
"That's great for the people of England but it is obviously not good for the people of Scotland on their main channel."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon used social media to react to the news. She tweeted: "Lots to welcome in today's announcement. @scotgov has long argued for new BBC Scotland channel. Vital that it is funded well.
"Commitments to new investment and 80 additional jobs for journalists long overdue and very positive."
But she added: "It doesn't deliver everything that everyone wanted - e.g. no Scottish 6 disappointing - but progress and hopefully sign of new thinking."
Scottish Conservative culture spokesman Jackson Carlaw said the move was "good for jobs, journalism, scrutiny and programming".
He said: "It also ensures those who still prefer the UK-wide BBC news at 6pm, and other programming on BBC1, get to keep that too."
Scottish Labour's Lewis Macdonald also welcomed the move and criticised Nationalist politicians for their "interference in the BBC's impartiality".
Paul Holleran, Scottish organiser for journalists' union The NUJ, said it was a "shot in the arm" for Scottish journalism.
However, he said the amount of investment "falls well short" of what the BBC management and unions in Scotland were looking for.
Explaining the decision to retain the current BBC One news output, a BBC spokesman said the News at Six had performed strongly in Scotland in recent years.
He went on to say that the 9pm news slot on the new channel would offer the audience choice and quality and would provide comprehensive reporting of the news from a Scottish perspective.
Lord Hall said Scotland already made network programmes such as Shetland, Two Doors Down and Still Game but it needed to make more.
He said the additional £20m for making UK-wide programmes would be a "huge boost for BBC Scotland and for the creative industries in Scotland".
The director-general also announced £1.2m for Gaelic channel BBC Alba, taking its budget to £20m.
The proposals will be subject to approval by the BBC's new unitary board and possibly by Ofcom.
The announcement on Scottish funding followed the BBC saying an extra £8.5m a year would be spent on programmes made in Wales.
Plans for Northern Ireland will be announced shortly.
When she took over as BBC Scotland's new director in December, Donalda MacKinnon pledged to spend more licence fee funds raised north of the border on programming produced in Scotland.
In 2015/16, 55% of licence fee funds raised in Scotland was spent on local and Scottish network content.
The BBC's 2015/16 accounts showed £320m was raised from the licence fee in Scotland. Of that, £176.5m was spent on local content and Scottish-made BBC network output.
This was a sharp decline from the £203m spend the previous year, which was 63% of the £323m collected. The funds not spent locally go towards BBC programmes developed elsewhere and aired across the UK.
The new funding takes the percentage of the licence fee funds raised in Scotland and spent in Scotland to 68% - or 79% if the £35m spent on distribution costs, getting the programmes to the audience, is included.
In comparison, 95% of licence fee funds raised in Wales in 2015/16 were spent in Wales - including on network-wide programmes like Doctor Who, Sherlock, Casualty and Crimewatch - with the figure for Northern Ireland standing at 74%.
The Liberal prime minister wants the unelected Senate to be a non-partisan body for vetting legislation.
A Paralympics champion and the head of the commission on reconciliation with indigenous communities are among the nominees.
They are the first appointments since an expenses scandal engulfed the Senate in 2013.
The Liberals announced a board in January to advise Mr Trudeau on possible senators, with the objective to bring people on based on their individual merit rather than party affiliation, the CBC reports.
"The Government is today taking further concrete steps to follow through on its commitment to reform the Senate, restore public trust, and bring an end to partisanship in the appointments process," said Mr Trudeau in a statement.
"The Senate appointments I have announced today will help advance the important objective to transform the Senate into a less partisan and more independent institution that can perform its fundamental roles in the legislative process more effectively-including the representation of regional and minority interests-by removing the element of partisanship, and ensuring that the interests of Canadians are placed before political allegiances."
The full list of nominees:
Claude Carignan, the opposition Leader in the Senate, told the CBC that Mr Trudeau's appointment process is "substantially no different than in the past."
"I note that this process yielded the same type of appointments as it has previously — former judges, provincial ministers, journalists, Olympians — have all been appointed to the Senate before," he said in a statement. "Mr. Trudeau's appointments also show that he understands that previous involvement in the partisan political process cannot be discounted and those appointments do have merit."
Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper had not appointed anyone to the Senate in three years, when there was a scandal over four senators filing improper expenses.
Mr Harper's government wanted to reform or abolish the Canadian Senate, seeking for it to be an elected body and to establish term limits, but was rejected by the Canadian Supreme Court.
One senator embroiled in the scandal, Mike Duffy, is currently on trial, awaiting a verdict.
The appointees will fill vacancies in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. They are chosen by the prime minister but must now be formally approved by the Governor General.
The Governor General, David Johnston, is the representative of the Queen in Canada.
The body was found in Hinckley, Leicestershire, on Sunday morning.
The woman, who lives in the county, was arrested on suspicion of concealing a birth and in connection with the death.
Leicestershire Police said an initial post-mortem examination had been completed but further tests were required to determine how the baby died.
The force has yet to say whether the child was a boy or girl.
It is more than 30 years since the last coal was dug at Big Pit in Torfaen, after which it became the National Coal Museum.
It hired the pit's former miners to maintain the underground workings and act as tour guides.
But many are now retiring - and fresh blood was needed.
David Powell from Treharris and Ben Monro from Caerphilly were among 52 who applied for the new jobs as mining craft apprentices.
"I am extremely excited at the prospect of becoming a part of Welsh industrial heritage and to contribute to Big Pit's aims and objectives as a world class museum," said Mr Powell.
Ben Monro added: "I feel passionate about encouraging individuals and families from all backgrounds to visit our national museums and look forward to increasing understanding and appreciation of our history and culture."
The pair will now undergo vocational training, with hands-on experience working next to members of the maintenance team, as well as becoming part-time members of the local Mines Rescue Team.
It is hoped after six months of training they will become underground guides at the pit.
Mine manager Huw Jones said: "The apprenticeships are an important part of the succession plan at Big Pit and will help to ensure that the public can continue to enjoy the underground experience at the museum and learn about the history of the mining industry in Wales.
"We are hopeful that the apprenticeship initiative will continue year on year."
The Islamist-rooted ruling AK party says the law will protect the population, particularly young people, from the harmful effects of alcohol.
Critics say it is a new move to impose an Islamic agenda on a secular, though predominantly Muslim, country.
The law bans the sale of alcohol in shops between 22:00 and 06:00 and bans producers from sponsoring events.
To take effect, the law must be signed by President Abdullah Gul. Mr Gul, a former member of the ruling AKP, is expected to do so soon.
Diageo Plc, the world's largest distiller of alcoholic beverages, has expressed concern about the legislation.
In 2011, Diageo bought Mey Icki, a producer of the traditional Turkish spirit raki, for $2.1bn (£1.7bn).
It said this week it had bought the company in the belief it was investing in a country "that encouraged foreign investment".
In other points of the new law
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who does not drink or smoke, said recently that ayran, a non-alcoholic yoghurt drink, was the "national drink" of the Turks.
AKP politician Lutfu Elva, head of the planning and budget commission, defended the law, saying similar restrictions were in place in Scandinavian countries.
But Musa Cam, an MP from the main opposition party, the CHP, said: "No one can be forced to drink or not to drink. This is a religious and ideological imposition."
Quoted in an article in Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, he said: "This is not a struggle against the ills of alcohol but an attempt to redesign the society according to their [AK party] beliefs and lifestyle."
Hasip Kaplan, a Kurdish MP, warned the law would hurt tourism, which "can't recover easily once collapsed", the state-run Anatolia news agency reports.
Correction 28 May, 2013: We have made clear that the ban only applies to sales from shops, not bars and restaurants.
There was no cure and its origins were a mystery. But one theory began to surface - that it was the product of secret US military research at the Fort Detrick Laboratory.
What was the source for this piece of fake news? The answer was the KGB, the Soviet intelligence service.
"The Aids disinformation campaign was one of the most notorious and one of the most successful Soviet disinformation campaigns during the Cold War," argues Thomas Boghardt, a historian at the US Army Center of Military History who has studied the case in detail.
KGB political officers in the field were tasked with spending up to a quarter of their time on what were called "active measures".
Mr Boghardt believes the KGB station in New York first came up with the idea, which played into distrust in US institutions and rumours of covert biological warfare programmes.
"Intelligence meant not only gathering but using - or weaponising - that intelligence for influence operations," he explains.
The aim of these "active measures" was to sow confusion and distrust either within a country or between allies. He says that in 1980, the Soviets spent an astonishing $3bn (£2.4m) a year on active measures.
It was not the only time the KGB successfully pushed a conspiracy theory.
Within weeks of the assassination of President Kennedy, it tried to circulate stories of official CIA involvement.
It even covertly financed a book on the subject published in America within a year of the killing.
Many attempts at disinformation were amateurish and failed. The main challenge was crafting something plausible. Those that succeeded either blended fact with fiction or worked with the grain of existing conspiracies.
When it came to targeting Britain, Moscow had help in the shape of former MI6 officer and KGB spy, Kim Philby.
"He would provide advice on how to do it," General Oleg Kalugin - formerly of the KGB and Philby's ex-colleague - told me. "He said 'this would not work, that sounds too Soviet'."
Typically this would involve taking genuine documents from Western countries which spies had stolen and then adding in a few fake paragraphs to twist the meaning.
"We preferred to work on genuine documents with some additions and changes, and Philby in that sense was [the] number one guy," says Kalugin, now based in the US.
In the 1980s, the US tried to counter the tide of KGB disinformation by setting up an "Active Measures Working Group", with experts from across government agencies.
"The only way you could counter active measures was by coming back with the truth," explains David Major, a former FBI official who served on the group.
Gordon Corera presented Subversion: West on BBC Radio 4 on Friday 31 March at 11:00 BST.
You can listen to it, and the previous episode Subversion: East on the BBC Radio 4 website.
It would try and identify fake stories and then advise the media about their source. "We were saying which one of these stories turns out to be fake news." Major says.
It tried to counter one claim that Americans were going to South America, ostensibly to adopt children but actually to harvest their body parts.
The challenge in the Cold War was getting out a story.
In the case of the Aids virus, it was planted in a small journal in India which was funded by the KGB.
The story - on 17 July 1983 - warned that Aids might invade India and was the product of US experiments, with an anonymous US scientist linking it to Fort Detrick.
Initially, there was not much pick-up. But two years later, Soviet news outlets ran the story, citing the Indian reports. That meant they could claim they were not the source.
The story then spread rapidly over the next few years and can still be found in the wilder edges of the internet.
The KGB placed great emphasis on not just recruiting people who had access to secrets but people who could influence opinion, so called "agents of influence".
"The Soviet and Soviet Bloc intelligence agencies were very good at cultivating contacts with journalists for instance, or intellectuals, who sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly would be used as launching platforms for fake or leaked stories," explains Prof Thomas Rid of King's College, London.
Sometimes documents would also be mailed anonymously to journalists.
But did active measures stop at the end of the Cold War?
"The Soviet Union may have dissolved in 1990-91 but Soviet intelligence stayed virtually intact both in terms of its organisation and the goals it pursued - and that includes active measures," says Mr Boghardt.
There were also new opportunities thanks to technology.
"In the 1990s when the Internet slowly emerged, it was really a no-brainer to start to use a platform that made it a lot easier to leak anonymously, to give information anonymously to the public," argues Prof Rid.
The KGB did allegedly try and influence American elections in the past - for instance by pushing the "Reagan means War" line in the 1984 US election - and the US intelligence community believes that it did so again in 2016 through a wide-ranging influence operation.
This included hacking into organisations like the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign officials' emails and feeding information to websites.
"What we've seen during the Cold War, somewhat counter-intuitively, is artisanal active measures - very labour intensive at the front end, down to using white gloves when you sign the letter in order to avoid fingerprints, the letter that you then mail anonymously," says Prof Rid.
"It really required good tradecraft. But what we see in 2016 is the opposite: lazy industrial scale hacking and dumping."
The leaking of real information is different from the creation of fake news stories, but they too are alleged to have appeared in 2016 although it is harder to trace their origins in the online world.
In the current environment, the term fake news has taken on many meanings. Russian intelligence's active measures may well be part of a chaotic mix.
But in a world in which accusations of fake news and conspiracy are bandied around freely, even exposing such measures can be swept up in a whirlwind of claim and counter-claim.
The result is confusion. And more divisions which any future active measures can then exploit.

The Interior Ministry said it had deployed almost 10,000 police and 48 dogs to track down the fugitive leader of the Sinaloa cartel.
Mexico is also co-operating with neighbouring Guatemala and the United States to increase border controls.
Guzman's escape from a top-security jail through a 1.5km-long tunnel is a major embarrassment for officials.
It is the second time the drug cartel leader has escaped from a top-security Mexican jail.
Should drug lord Guzman have been extradited to the US?
More than 100 roadblocks have been set up on highways across Mexico and 100,000 leaflets with mug shots of Guzman have been distributed at toll booths.
Airports have been put on alert and security personnel have been told to search any private flights taking off.
Police are also searching hotels and hospitals for any trace of Guzman.
The government is offering a 60m peso ($3.8m; £2.4m) reward for information leading to his capture.
On Wednesday, Mexican officials said they were also co-operating with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the FBI.
The DEA reportedly played a key role in Guzman's 2014 re-capture, providing intelligence which led Mexican security forces to the apartment where he was hiding, in his native Sinaloa state in north-western Mexico.
The Mexican interior minister has also held meetings with Guatemalan officials to prevent Guzman slipping into the neighbouring country.
In 1993, Guzman was arrested just south of Mexico's border with Guatemala.
Saturday was the second time Guzman managed to escape from a maximum-security jail.
In 2001 he broke out of Puente Grande prison, reportedly hiding in a laundry cart.
He was on the run for 13 years before being re-arrested in February last year.
The scale of the tunnel through which he fled on Saturday raised suspicions that he had help from prison staff.
Three senior prison officials, including the director of the jail, have been dismissed.
The escape tunnel, which leads to a building outside the prison perimeter, is more than 1.5km (1 mile) long and measures 1.70m (5ft 6in) in height.
Security officials said it could have taken a year to build.
On Wednesday, prison officials allowed journalists to inspect the cell from which he fled.
Each journalist was only given two minutes inside the cell.
One-hundred-and-twenty seconds are enough to raise questions about how this escape was possible.
How could it be that no one heard or saw anything?
Inside the cell suspicion mounts that you don't get out of here without accomplices on the inside.
Underneath the shower is the hole where the tunnel starts, but it's so deep and dark you can't really see anything.
At two sides of the hole are 1.2m-high walls which were meant to shield Guzman's privacy while he was showering.
The security camera could not see past these walls and it was behind them that the man who is now being sought by thousands of police escaped.
The Sinaloa cartel, which Guzman leads, is one of Mexico's most powerful drug gangs, responsible for smuggling huge quantities of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines to the United States.
Following his escape, the Chicago Crime Commission has again declared Guzman "Public Enemy Number One".
Security officials in the US and Mexico fear that the longer Guzman remains free the stronger his cartel will get.
In recent years, the Sinaloa cartel had lost some of its power to other rival gangs.
The collision happened at 04:40 BST on the coastbound carriageway between junctions 8 and 9.
An Audi TT, two articulated lorries, a Vauxhall Vivaro and a Fiat Ducato were involved.
In a separate collision on Wednesday on the same stretch of road a pedestrian died and the carriageway was closed for several hours.
Kent Police have appealed for witnesses to both collisions.
Ministers had to amend their plans after criticism from opposition MPs, including over the time for scrutiny.
A final set of proposals will now be drafted, with a delayed vote to be held in September.
During the seven-hour debate, Conservative MPs backed the government's approach but there was opposition from Labour and the SNP.
The government wants to change Commons rules known as standing orders to give MPs from English constituencies a "decisive say" on bills that apply exclusively to England.
It has proposed an additional "parliamentary stage" to allow English MPs to scrutinise legislation without the involvement of Scottish MPs, saying it is a matter of fairness.
England's MPs would be asked to accept or veto legislation only affecting England before it passed to a vote of all UK MPs at its third and final reading in the Commons.
This means England's MPs could block any unwanted policies from being introduced in England - but could not force proposals through unless the whole House agreed.
A similar process would be used where matters covered only England and Wales - with Welsh MPs included.
The proposals will, ministers say, address the long-standing anomaly - known as the West Lothian Question - by which Scottish MPs can vote on issues such as health and education affecting England, but the House of Commons has no say on similar matters relating to Scotland, where such policies are devolved.
During the Commons debate, Commons Leader Chris Grayling told MPs all laws that affected government spending throughout Britain would be voted on by all MPs.
He said the government's plans had been republished to make this "crystal clear".
Defending his plans, he added: "We intend to provide more powers to Scotland, more powers to Wales, we intend to devolve to Northern Ireland the powers in areas like corporation tax, but ultimately we need to be fair to the English and that is what this is about."
Former SNP leader Alex Salmond did not accept that Scottish MPs would not be locked out of decisions affecting their grants.
He gave the example of a Commons vote on tuition fees in England, which he said could have an impact on the amount of funding Scotland receives.
Shadow Commons leader Angela Eagle said she was pleased that the government "has at least seen a bit of sense in retreating from its original intention to make us vote today on these complex and controversial proposals".
A vote on the government's proposal had been due to take place this week. But ministers were forced to rethink their plans after they came under sustained attack from SNP and Labour MPs unhappy at the government's handling of the matter.
A redraft of the proposals was published on Tuesday. The changes in them proved minor and sought only to clarify the position concerning Budget measures.
The debate came after a row over plans to change fox hunting laws in England and Wales, with a vote being axed after the SNP said it would oppose the move.
The SNP had previously said it would not vote on issues affecting England and Wales only.
But it said its change of heart was partly due to the government trying to make Scottish MPs "second-class citizens" in the Commons through its "English votes for English laws" plans.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the SNP's position was "entirely opportunistic".
Tilly Confectionery, which is based in Larbert, near Falkirk, will use the funds provided by HSBC to launch a new export drive and buy new production equipment.
Tilly said the move was in response to increasing demand for its products.
The firm produces the Mrs Tilly's range of Scottish tablet, fudge and macaroon.
It aims to increase its footprint in Canada immediately, following "significant" export growth to a number of European markets, including France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and Poland.
In March, Tilly announced it had secured a contract to launch a range of fudge products across the French market.
Blair Paterson, managing director of Mrs Tilly's Confectionery, said: "My parents founded the business in the family kitchen in 1997 and have worked extremely hard to make it the success it has become today.
"We have ambitions to grow the business and take Mrs Tilly's fudge and tablet to an even wider international audience."
In 2014, Mrs Tilly's sold more than two million bars of tablet and fudge and developed their international sales to about 3% of turnover.
This figure is expected to rise to 10% by the end of 2016, with turnover projected to grow to £5m within the next five years.
The company currently employs 33 people.
The latest statistics suggest 40 people a night were sleeping on streets or rough ground in the county last autumn.
The situation in Cornwall is being blamed on high house prices, lower wages and unstable work.
Only Westminster and Hillingdon in London had higher numbers or rough sleepers.
The Department for Communities and Local Government figures are based on information given to Cornwall Council by agencies supporting homeless people.
Alistair Young, interim chief executive at Coastline Housing in the county, described them as "the tip of the iceberg" and said there could be many more rough sleepers in Cornwall.
He said 90% of the rough sleepers it helped were local people, who were "much less able to deal with the shocks to their lives that cause a risk to being homeless than in other parts of the country".
He added: "The housing is expensive; renting is expensive as well. Coupled with that, wages are a lot lower in Cornwall and a lot of people are in very short-term unstable work."
The average South West house price was £278,378 compared to £286,133 nationally, according to Rightmove's April House Price Index.
Average wages in Cornwall stood at £14,300 a year, making it the UK's poorest region, according to statistics produced last year by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
One rough sleeper in Kehellend, who only wanted to be named as Paul, said he had been "turned out" of his family home after his marriage broke down and he developed depression.
"My whole world had collapsed," he said.
Paul said he planned to return to work once his health improved.
He advised others in his position to "get to the day centres, use their resources and take care of yourself".
Research for Co-operative Funeralcare has highlighted the difficulties people have experienced when trying to deal with a loved one's internet identities.
The firm suggests people could put the account details in a sealed letter to their executors.
It comes after Facebook this month unveiled legacy settings for its users.
Facebook was following in the footsteps of Google and other technology companies when it added the new setting that gives people the option of having their account permanently deleted, or some aspects passed to the control of a friend or relative when they die.
A Co-operative survey found that while almost all bank customers now have access to their accounts online, three out of four have not made any arrangements for the details to be passed on.
The poll of more than 2,000 adults also discovered that almost 80% of those who attempted to manage online bank, utility, shopping and social media accounts following a death said they had experienced problems.
Only 16% of people, however, said they wanted their next of kin to have access to their social media accounts, with around the same number saying they would like them to stay in touch with their online contacts.
The Co-operative said that while it was suggesting people may like to include their account information in a sealed letter to their executors, the details should never be included in a will, as it could become a public document after their death.
Sam Kershaw, director of operations for Co-operative Funeralcare, said: "Conversations about end of life are never easy.

But there has never been a Speaker's spouse like Sally Bercow.
Whether posing in a bed-sheet in front of Parliament, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, being pictured in the tabloids on a raucous night out or sending provocative comments to thousands of followers on her now defunct Twitter account, Mrs Bercow has rarely been out of the headlines.
Her husband John holds one of the most important jobs in the Houses of Parliament - keeping MPs in order and deciding who gets to speak in debates.
A former Conservative MP, he is meant to be politically neutral.
His wife's vocal support for the Labour Party has been an occasional source of tension with Tory MPs, some of whom have never hidden their dislike of the couple and are convinced the Speaker's neutrality has been compromised.
She has also faced criticism that her love of the limelight has undermined the dignity of his office.
Mrs Bercow has always insisted she is her own woman and her husband's job will not prevent her from speaking her mind.
Her husband has also defended his wife's right to express herself, once telling reporters: "The obligation of impartiality does not apply to my wife who is not my chattel."
The daughter of a builder's merchant, Sally Bercow was born in Sutton, Surrey, in 1969.
When her father, Ronald Ilman, died, she used her inheritance to pay her own way through exclusive private school Marlborough College, in Wiltshire, but later claimed she never fitted in with her well-heeled classmates.
She dropped out of Oxford University after two years and embarked on a career in public relations in the City of London, and then in advertising.
They were, by her own account, wild years.
She has confessed to a drink problem, telling one reporter: "I had no stop button."
"I was an argumentative drunk, picking arguments with my bosses over stupid things. Plus, I'd lose my judgement and put myself in danger... I'd get into unlicensed minicabs in the early hours. All the things we'd tell our daughters not to do."
She has also confessed to having had a number of alcohol-fuelled flings: "It was all very ladette - work hard, play hard."
She first met John Bercow at an Oxford University Conservative Party event in 1989 - she defected to New Labour in 2007 - but they did not marry until 2002, by which time he was MP for Buckingham.
She put her drink-fuelled years behind her but not her ambitions to get into politics, standing unsuccessfully for Labour in the St James Ward of Westminster City Council in the 2010 local elections.
The Bercows, who live in a large grace-and-favour apartment in the Palace of Westminster, known as Speaker's House, have three children, one of whom is autistic. She is a patron of the Ambitious for Autism charity.
In February 2011, she shocked the Westminster establishment by telling the London Evening Standard Mr Bercow had become more sexually attractive since becoming Commons Speaker.
Pictured wearing only a sheet, Mrs Bercow said it was "sexy" living in an official residence near Big Ben and that power was an "aphrodisiac".
But the reaction to that interview was nothing compared to the storm of criticism a few months later when it was revealed she was to be a contestant in Celebrity Big Brother - in defiance of the wishes of husband John.
She admitted John did not want her to take part in the show but she said had she wanted to raise money for the autism charity and "stick two fingers up to the establishment".
She was the first to be evicted, after being nominated by fellow housemate, former pop star Kerry Katona.
"A lot of people didn't want me to go in because it's not something that 'The Speaker's Wife' does," she told Big Brother presenter Brian Dowling, but she had no regrets and raised £100,000 for charity.
By now more than 50,000 people were following Mrs Bercow on Twitter, which proved the perfect medium for someone with opinions to spare.
But in November 2012, she was forced to suspend her account when she sent a message - "Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *innocent face*" - at the height of speculation about the identity of a former Tory politician who had been, wrongly as it turned out, linked to child abuse.
A few weeks later, she found herself in hot water again when she named the alleged victim in a child abduction court case, whose identity is legally protected.
When her mistake was pointed out, she said: "Apparently, I shouldn't have tweeted that. You need a law degree to be on Twitter nowadays. It's ridiculous."
Now she is facing a damages bill after losing a libel battle with Lord McAlpine over the "innocent face" message.
She was not in the High Court court to hear the judgement. She said in a statement that she regretted her tweet but was "disappointed" by the ruling.

Ilkeston is one of three towns where a new station is "most likely" to be built, according to Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin.
The proposed £5m railway station would form part of Northern Rail's Sheffield to Nottingham route, which includes Alfreton and Langley Mill.
A final decision is expected in May. If approved, the station could open in two years' time.
Uncapped full-back Dollman, 32, suffered a knee injury in Exeter's Premiership final win over Wasps, while prop Lee, 24, also has a knee problem.
Scarlets fly-half or full-back Rhys Patchell and Ospreys prop Rhodri Jones have been added to caretaker coach Robin McBryde's squad.
Wales fly out on 7 June to play Tonga on 17 June and Samoa on 24 June.
"Samson Lee unfortunately his knee flared up against Munster [in the Pro12 final] and it hasn't settled down enough for us to take him to the next level of training," McBryde said.
"With Phil Dollman, the last I heard he was awaiting a consultation following a significant injury to his knee... he's out of the tour."
Dollman had seemed set to earn a long-awaited first cap after a fine season for English champions Exeter.
"The time it [the injury] occurred and the manner in which it happened, it was a bitter-sweet day for Phil having spoken to him.
"The heights of winning, being successful and scoring a try, and then the injury obviously it's tough."
Wales played a one-off warm-up game against Welsh Premiership side RGC 1404 last Friday, winning 88-14 at Parc Eirias.

Ben Butler is accused of killing Ellie Butler at their family home in Sutton, south-west London in October.
A jury heard how Ellie lived in a "toxic" environment due to Mr Butler's volatile temper, while partner Jennie Gray would do anything to please him.
The 36-year-old denies murder and a separate charge of child cruelty.
Ellie's mother Ms Gray, 36, also denies a child cruelty charge relating to a shoulder injury.
She has admitted perverting the course of justice by giving a false account of what she did on the day Ellie died.
More on this story and other news from London
Ellie died 11 months after the couple got her back from care.
She was returned to them after Mr Butler was cleared on appeal of assaulting her as a six-week-old baby.
A post-mortem examination revealed she suffered skull fractures from at least two severe impacts.
The Old Bailey was shown handwritten letters and prayers seized by police at the family home in Westover Close following Ellie's death.
One "letter of prayer" found inside the bedroom at the couple's home read: "Make him stop being angry, hateful and violent."
Another read: "Please don't let Ben leave me but make him learn to like me.
"Stop violence and make him WANT ME and be there at the birth if I have a baby boy."
In a letter from Mr Butler to Ms Gray, he asked her to "try harder with your mouth as it's a trigger for me".
He also wrote: "I would be lost without you."
A note entitled "Ellie's behaviour" outlined 10 points including: "lying, not doing as she's told, does not listen or pay attention, constantly answers back, argues, constantly manipulative, feel you can't trust her, acts like a child prior to her years, we feel she is aware she is doing this".
The trial continues.
The Information Commissioner has given it 35 days to issue a fresh response to a challenge for the research to be made public.
The government had argued that research carried out by accountants Deloitte was not in its possession to publish.
But the Information Commissioner found that claim to be "not plausible".
The research fed into the government's decision on how to set hourly rates for nursery providers offering the free 30-hours nursery place entitlement.
This pre-election pledge by the Conservatives to offer places to working parents of three- and four-year-olds in England is due to come into force next September.
The rates were revealed in the review of childcare costs, which was published last year.
There were more than 50 references to the Deloitte research in that government review, leading the Pre-school Learning Alliance to ask the government to publish the research.
When the government refused, it took the case to the Information Commissioner.
The alliance has been arguing that the average hourly rates for the scheme of £4.88 per hour for four-year-olds and £5.39 for two-year-olds are too low and would make the early years sector unsustainable.
And it argued the Deloitte research was key to setting these rates and therefore should be published.
In its ruling, the commissioner said it was "unlikely that the DfE would commit to investing over £1bn more per year on childcare funding by 2019-2020" as a result of research it had not seen.
He added that if the research was held by Deloitte, then it was held on behalf of the department, and therefore subject to freedom of information requests.
Pre-school Learning Alliance chief executive Neil Leitch said: "We are very pleased that the Information Commissioner's Office has ruled in our favour and agreed that the Department for Education's argument that it doesn't hold research that it itself commissioned, and subsequently used, does not wash.
"The research commissioned by the DfE to Deloitte played an integral role in its review of childcare delivery costs, and by extension, the development of the new early years funding rates due to come into effect next year.
"As such, this information should be made public and open to scrutiny, especially given that so many in the sector do not believe that the new funding rates are in fact enough to cover the cost of delivering funded places.
"Given that the ICO was unequivocal in its judgement, we hope that the DfE will now make this research available to us without any further delay."
The DfE said: "We are currently considering the next steps and will make a decision in due course."
Mr Tsvangirai said Wednesday's presidential poll was "null and void".
The largest group of election observers described the vote as "seriously compromised" and said up to a million Zimbabweans were prevented from voting.
Meanwhile, first official results from national assembly elections show Mr Mugabe's party taking an early lead.
Zanu-PF won 25 of 28 seats announced, although they were mostly in Mr Mugabe's rural strongholds, correspondents say.
Mr Mugabe's party, which is claiming a victory, has denied accusations of vote-rigging, saying the voting went smoothly.
The 89-year-old president is running for a seventh term.
Voters were choosing a president, 210 lawmakers and local councillors and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has five days to declare who won the poll.
Extra police units, some in riot gear, have been deployed in the capital, Harare.
Legal challenges are now likely to follow, but much will depend on whether Zimbabwe's neighbours endorse the poll, says the BBC's Andrew Harding.
Speaking at the headquarters of his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party in Harare, Mr Tsvangirai said: "Our conclusion is that this has been a huge farce.
By Andrew HardingAfrica correspondent
"The credibility of this election has been marred by administrative and legal violations which affected the legitimacy of its outcome.
"It's a sham election that does not reflect the will of the people."
Some international observers have praised the conduct of the election.
But the largest group of domestic observers, the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), said the voting was compromised.
ZESN chairman Solomon Zwana told the BBC the organisation remained "concerned about some cases of irregularities that have occurred in some areas".
The ZESN said potential voters were much more likely to be turned away from polling stations in urban areas, where support for Mr Tsvangirai is strong, than in President Mugabe's rural strongholds.
It claims that up to a million of the country's 6.4 million eligible voters were prevented from casting their ballots.
Zanu-PF's senior members were already celebrating victory.
"We have romped [to victory] in a very emphatic manner," one member, who asked not to be named, told AFP news agency.
Zanu-PF's information secretary, Rugare Gumbo, said observers from several countries were all satisfied with the conduct of the election.
"I don't understand where this thing of saying the election was a farce is coming from," he told the BBC.
Britain said it was too early to comment on the outcome of the election, but noted the "peaceful atmosphere".
A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said it was "concerned by the late publication of the electoral roll and reports of large numbers of voters who were turned away".
If no candidate in the presidential vote gains 50% of the ballots, a run-off will be held on 11 September.
Zanu-PF and the MDC have shared an uneasy coalition government since 2009 under a deal brokered to end the deadly violence that erupted after a disputed presidential poll the previous year.

The two teams will meet at Wembley on 11 November, the day when the United Kingdom remembers its war dead.
World governing body Fifa reiterated its ban on political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.
"Before they start telling us what to do, they jolly well ought to sort their own house out," said Mrs May.
"Our football players want to recognise and respect those who have given their lives for our safety and security - I think it is absolutely right they should be able to do so."
Fifa has been plagued by corruption allegations in recent years.
Sepp Blatter's 17-year reign as president ended in December, when he was suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following an ethics investigation. His ban was later reduced to six years.
Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs May said the wearing of poppies was a matter for the English and Scottish Football Associations to resolve, but there was a "clear message" from the House of Commons that "we want our players to be able to wear those poppies".
FA chairman Greg Clarke told ITV news that England's football governing body was "negotiating in good faith with Fifa to try and find a solution".
"My personal opinion, and as that of chair of the FA, is that of course we should wear poppies," said Clarke. "We are commemorating millions of people who gave their lives in wars over the years. They, and the people who lost relatives, deserve that. That is our plan.
"We are balancing respect for the fallen and their families with respect for the governing body.
"There will be poppies at Wembley."
The Scottish Football Association (SFA) said on Tuesday that Fifa had turned down a request from England and Scotland for players to wear armbands in next Friday's World Cup qualifier.
The two football associations hope to change Fifa's mind, and want to know what the potential punishments could be should they flout the rule.
Former Culture, Media and Sport Secretary John Whittingdale MP says the England team should wear poppies - even if a points deduction is possible.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett, he said: "For [Fifa] to try and brand the poppy as a political symbol shows a total misunderstanding. I think there are a number of reasons why we are already profoundly unhappy with Fifa's behaviour and conduct and this adds to that list."
Fifa has not indicated whether a points penalty would be under consideration as a potential punishment.
The Football Association of Wales has also written to Fifa requesting permission to wear poppies on armbands during their game against Serbia in Cardiff on 12 November.
A motion has been lodged at the Scottish Parliament calling for the ban to be scrapped.
Scottish Conservative MSP Maurice Golden said: "It's obvious for all to see that wearing a poppy to commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifice is not a political statement.
"Fifa should overturn this bizarre decision immediately. The fans, players and football associations on both sides of the border want to be able to wear the poppy with pride.
"I hope MSPs across all parties back this motion and call for an urgent rethink."
England are top of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group with seven points from three games. Scotland are fourth with four points.
The top team qualifies automatically for the finals in Russia, with the second-placed side possibly entering a play-off.
Wales are third in Group D, behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland.
Health officials want to provide additional services next to Rhyl's Royal Alexandra Hospital such as a same day care centre for minor ailments.
They hope it alleviates demands on Glan Clwyd Hospital in nearby Bodelwyddan as well as other community hospitals.
The plans are on show at Rhyl Library on Saturday and the town's White Rose Shopping Centre on Tuesday.
The outline business case has to be approved by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in January before it will be submitted to the Welsh Government.
Work on a new hospital could begin in 2018 should the plans get planning consent and final approval.
David Gilroy, 50, was told by appeal court judges in Edinburgh on Wednesday he could not have his case reviewed by the UK Supreme Court.
He was jailed at the High Court in Edinburgh for life in April 2012 for murdering Ms Pilley in May 2010.
Gilroy denies killing his ex-lover and says he has been wrongfully convicted.
On Wednesday, Gilroy's legal team argued police broke the law when they were investigating their client in the days following Ms Pilley's disappearance.
Defence solicitor advocate John Scott QC wanted judges Lord Carloway, Lord Brodie and Lord Marnoch to refer the case to the Supreme Court in London to rule on whether the police acted illegally.
However, the judges refused and told Mr Scott they were not convinced a miscarriage of justice had taken place.
Speaking afterwards, Ms Pilley's family welcomed the verdict.
Her mother, Sylvia Pilley, said: "Justice has been done. We will never, ever come to terms with it. We are just in the same place."
The hearing at the Court of Criminal Appeal comes 12 months after Gilroy was convicted at the High Court for murdering Ms Pilley.
The office worker, whose body has never been recovered, went missing in Edinburgh following the May Day holiday that year.
Prosecutors believe Gilroy attacked Ms Pilley and transported her remains in the back of his car across Scotland.
They think her body was dumped in a grave somewhere near the Rest and Be Thankful beauty spot in Argyll.
During the investigation in the days following her disappearance, officers interviewed Gilroy as he was her colleague and former lover.
He was originally interviewed as a witness because officers thought Ms Pilley was alive.
However, it became clear to officers Gilroy had murdered Ms Pilley and he was arrested and charged.
At a hearing at the Appeal Court in December 2012, Mr Scott argued that officers had broken the law when they had interviewed Gilroy as a witness.
Mr Scott argued that evidence showed that detectives always suspected Gilroy of committing a crime - Mr Scott said that they should have told him he was a suspect and cautioned him that he didn't have to answer their questions.
Mr Scott claimed that by speaking to Gilroy as a witness, they were able to extract evidence from him, which the Crown used to secure a conviction against him.
The decision was made after Azaria's parents presented new evidence to try to clear their names.
After the eight week-old baby went missing, they were charged with her disappearance. Her mother was convicted of her murder.
She was released when evidence matched the dingo story but doubts lingered.
They have long argued that the open verdict recorded after an earlier review of the case left room for doubt about Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton's innocence.
''Obviously we are relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga,'' Ms Chamberlain-Creighton told reporters outside the courthouse.
''No longer will Australia be able to say that dingoes are not dangerous,'' she added. ''We live in a beautiful country but it is dangerous.''
Speaking after her, Mr Michael Chamberlain, the baby's father, said ''the truth is out''.
He was with his ex-wife at the Darwin courthouse for the verdict.
''Now, some healing and a chance to put our daughter's spirit to rest.''
The Northern Territory coroner Elizabeth Morris delivered an emotional verdict, asking baby Azaria's parents to accept her ''sincere sympathy'' for the loss.
''Time does not remove the pain and sadness of the death of a child,'' Ms Morris said.
She added that a death certificate was now available for the parents and the
final findings
could be found on the coroners office website.
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton has campaigned tirelessly to have dingoes officially blamed for the death of her child, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy.
Earlier this year, the Chamberlains gave evidence to a coroner in Darwin recording a series of other attacks by dingoes on humans.
Virtually ever since Azaria vanished from her tent near Uluru (Ayers Rock) in 1980, Australia has been engrossed by the question of whether she was taken by a dingo.
In 1982, Ms Chamberlain-Creighton was found guilty of her baby's murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, while Mr Chamberlain was found guilty of being an accessory.
Both were later exonerated on all charges, after the chance discovery of a fragment of Azaria's clothing in an area dotted with dingo lairs.
It was a case that divided Australians and was even turned into the film A Cry In The Dark, starring Meryl Streep.
Three previous coroner's inquests proved inconclusive.
The elusive artist composed the mural at Bridge Farm Primary after it recently named a school house after him.
It was discovered as teachers returned from the half-term break along with a letter saying "it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission".
A spokesman for Banksy confirmed to BBC News that the artwork is genuine.
Head teacher Geoff Mason intends to preserve the mural and has "no plans to sell it".
He said the surprise addition to the school's surroundings is "inspirational and aspirational" for his pupils.

The World Heath Organization (WHO) says the new coronavirus appears to be passing between people in close contact.
It is the biggest outbreak of Mers, which is similar to the Sars virus, outside the Middle East.
What is this new virus and should we be concerned?
It is a type of coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which includes the common cold and severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars).
The first Mers fatality was recorded in June 2012 in Saudi Arabia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 449 people have now died from the virus.
Mers is a virus that is transmitted from animals to humans. The WHO says that camels are likely to be a source of Mers infection but the exact route of transmission is not yet known.
There have been cases where the virus has spread between two people but close contact seems to be needed.
Cases have been confirmed in 25 countries in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. The majority of the cases have been reported in Saudi Arabia.
In May 2015, two new countries joined the list: China and South Korea.
Coronaviruses cause respiratory infections in humans and animals. Symptoms are a fever, cough and breathing difficulties.
It causes pneumonia and, sometimes, kidney failure. Most of the people who have been infected so far have been older men, often with other medical conditions.
Experts say they are not sure why we are seeing this pattern and if it will change over time.
It is also unclear how often people might develop a milder form of the disease.
It is not known for certain. It is possible the virus is spread in droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
The fact that close contacts appear to have been infected suggests that the virus does have a limited ability to pass from person to person.
Up to now, most human cases have been the result of human-to-human transmission in a healthcare setting, the WHO says.
How that infection occurs is still not fully understood.
Experts believe the virus is not very contagious. If it were, we would have seen more cases.
Coronaviruses are fairly fragile. Outside of the body they can only survive for a day and are easily destroyed by common detergents and cleaning agents.
Public health experts in the UK have stressed that the risk to the general population remains very low.
The greatest global concern, however, is about the potential for this new virus to spread far and wide. So far, person-to-person transmission has remained limited to some small clusters. There is no evidence yet that the virus has the capacity to become pandemic.
Doctors do not yet know what the best treatment is, but people with severe symptoms will need intensive medical care to help them breath. There is no vaccine.
As of June 2015, the WHO said about 36% of reported patients with Mers had died. In South Korea though, that death rate is lower at about 18%.
It's not known exactly how people catch this virus. However, some general measures may help prevent its spread - avoid close contact, when possible, with anyone who shows symptoms of illness (coughing and sneezing) and maintain good hand hygiene.
Experts do not yet know where the virus originated. It may have been the result of a new mutation of an existing virus.
Or it may be an infection that has been circulating in animals and has now made the jump to humans.
At the moment the WHO says there is no reason to impose any travel restrictions.
Travel advice will be kept under review if additional cases occur or when the patterns of transmission become clearer.
Coronaviruses are common viruses that most people get some time in their life. Their name comes from the crown-like spikes that cover their surface.
Human coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s.
Other variants infect many different animals, producing symptoms similar to those in humans.
Most coronaviruses usually infect only one animal species or, at most, a small number of closely related species.
Sars was different: being able to infect people and animals, including monkeys, cats, dogs, and rodents.
A novel coronavirus does not seem to get passed from person to person easily, while the SARS virus did.
Sars is thought to have infected more than 8,000 people, mainly in China and South-East Asia, in an outbreak that started in early 2003. The illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the global outbreak was contained.
Experts established that Sars could spread by close person-to-person contact.
According to the WHO, 774 people died from the infection. Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of Sars reported anywhere in the world.
Officers were alerted to the incident at Ibrox subway station just before 20:00 on Saturday 12 August.
British Transport Police said an investigation was under way.
A spokeswoman said: "There have not been any arrests at this time."
From January, the Met is testing out a restructure which will see it move from borough-based policing to larger basic command units (BCUs).
The trial will see Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge and Havering, and Camden and Islington boroughs merge.
The Met said it would not mean any station closures or job cuts.
But the Metropolitan Police Federation said it would be surprised if this did not happen because "otherwise what's the point of what they are trying to achieve?"
Scotland Yard said it had to save £400m in the next four years.
It said the new system would bring together "management of neighbourhoods, response, investigation and protection of vulnerable people, including child protection, victims of sexual abuse and domestic abuse".
Each BCU will be led by an interim commander, a chief superintendent and four superintendents who will each be responsible for neighbourhoods, response, investigation and protecting vulnerable people.
People, buildings, technology and vehicles will be shared across the boroughs within the BCU.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Mark Simmons, who is responsible for the BCU test, said: "Change is important for the Met to remain operationally effective in the changing policing landscape.
"We want to invest more into neighbourhood policing and protect vulnerable people across London as well as make sure we are able to deal with predicted increases in demand.
"We also want to implement a way of investigating crime that is more focused on what victims need and can be even more effective in tackling serious offending."
The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Sophie Linden, said the Met wanted to reduce the amount it spent on management so it could "maximise the amount spent on operational policing".
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Federation said officers had "massive concerns" about the scheme, particularly over fatigue and increasing workloads.
The £20,000 seven-seater van operated by Kirkby Our Centre helps provide medical transport for disabled and vulnerable people.
Local residents who use the service said they were "shocked and disgusted" by the attacks, the first of which took place on 12 October.
The second attack happened just a day later.
The first incident was at noon in Kirkby-in-Ashfield when the driver was having some lunch.
The second attack took place the next evening "to finish off the job", Kirkby Our Centre manager Tim Cooper said.

Here are five facts you need to know about Prue:
1. She grew up in South Africa and helped to start a cooking college there, now called 'Prue Leith's Chefs Academy'.
2. She went to the famous Le Cordon Bleu cookery school in London.
3. But she's not just a cook, she opened her first restaurant in 1969 and she already knows what it's like to be on TV... She spent 11 years as a judge on BBC Two programme The Great British Menu. She's also a writer and has written seven novels so far.
4. She loves her mad dog Meg, a rescue mongrel, and her beautiful cat Magnificat (known as Mags).
5. And she's received a couple of royal awards, an OBE in 1989 and a CBE in 2010.
So there are a few facts about Prue Leith. We'll let you know if she does end up joining Paul Hollywood on The Great British Bake Off.
Channel 4 said it would be announcing the programme's line-up "in due course".
Their diminished forces, led by Joseph Kony who has been subject of a recent viral online campaign highlighting his activities, still spread fear in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and occasionally South Sudan.
The more than 20 years of war in northern Uganda has left a terrible legacy of poverty and disease but at least there is peace.
The BBC's East Africa correspondent, Will Ross, met four survivors of the insurgency in Kitgum district.
Geoffrey Obita first spoke to the BBC in 2003, using another name for his protection, at the Catholic Mission hospital in Kitgum after he had been rushed there on the back of a bicycle from his village. He had been attacked by LRA rebels who falsely accusing him of being a government soldier.
The rebels sat on his chest and pinned down his limbs as one of them hacked off his ears, lips and fingers with a knife. In agony he begged them to kill him. Nine years later, he runs a small stall on the outskirts of Kitgum town:
2003: Uganda's atrocious war
Every day I come here and I try to earn a living but it's not easy.
I'm struggling for my three children, Joseph, Isaac and Emmanuel.
I want them to get a high level of education so they can cater for themselves.
Here in Uganda without an education there's no meaningful future.
I was doing well at secondary school when I was attacked in 2003.
I tried to finish school but my problem was writing was difficult because of what they did to me.
I couldn't hold a pen.
When I was recovering in hospital the boy who had cut me was also admitted - he had been shot in an attack.
At first I was angry to see him and I thought of revenge.
But later I realised he had been abducted by the rebels and was forced to do what he did so I forgave him and now relations between us are ok.
He may still fear revenge but I have forgiven him.
When I was better I started a small bakery in Kitgum and then I set up this shop selling food items like rice and salt and sugar and drinks.
But business has not been going well recently.
Today, four-year-old Isaac was sent away from nursery school because I haven't been able to pay the school fees.
Many people survive by farming the land around here but because of my hands I'm unable to dig the fields.
I've had no help with my disability.
Taking responsibility is not easy but I'm trying.
Genesis Atube was known as "Commander Jolly Joe" when he was in the LRA. Countless testimonies from those who escaped from the LRA say he was responsible for leading raids in Uganda during the early 2000s in which large numbers of children were abducted. He denies this.
He escaped from the LRA after being injured in a battle:
When I came back from the bush in 2005 life was not easy at home.
People were accusing me of abducting and killing their children - something I didn't do.
When they started accusing me I had to relocate from Kitgum to Gulu District where I stayed for two years.
People are still very angry with me - that's why I can't easily relate to them in the villages.
That's why I stopped drinking these locally made beers.
I only take beers from the factory because I fear at any time they can poison me.
When I had enough money I came back to Kitgum to set up this bicycle repair shop.
Here many people don't know about my history and being by the roadside many people just bring their bicycles when they are passing.
But the problem is at home - that's when I face many difficulties from the community members.
In the 1980s I was a lieutenant in the UNLA [the Uganda National Liberation Army that was defeated by President Yoweri Museveni's guerrilla forces in 1986].
I didn't apply to LRA leader Joseph Kony to be one of his soldiers, I was abducted.
In the LRA I was given the rank of 2nd lieutenant.
I'm very happy that there is peace now.
Sometimes I ride my bicycle right up to Gulu and then come back.
Reconciliation is one of the most important things to be done but I'm not sure what the government position and the LRA position is.
Even now as I talk I left one of my children in the bush so reconciliation should be done so people can live in peace.
Rebecca was abducted from her school in northern Uganda in 1996 and was held by the LRA for three years, experiencing appalling atrocities. Now 26, she is still frightened of the LRA and did not want any photos taken of her. After escaping she has worked hard to fulfil a dream, which is about to come true:
It has been hard because missing three years is a long time and what I went through was somehow traumatic and so it disorganised my mind.
When I went back to school after three years I'd forgotten almost all I had learnt.
I had forgotten how to write so it was not so easy.
I was so excited to enter university as I didn't expect to make it here.
Although in my mind I had wanted to study and be a success, on the other hand I saw darkness coming as finance was a problem.
I had to believe that I could make it.
Thanks to a miraculous meeting, someone offered to pay my school fees and they kept their promise.
I am so grateful.
I had this inspiration to become a doctor because of my past life experience - the years I went through due to the LRA war in the north.
I saw many people affected by ill health in the north and among the abducted people were dying.
One thing which inspired me to study medicine was the death of my mum. She died of a heart attack.
But I was wondering if something had been done in the right way at that time would she have survived.
In a few weeks time I'm graduating as a doctor.
I am so excited I can't wait for the day I make the oath of becoming a doctor and I'm putting on that gown - I think I'll be so excited. It is a dream come true.
After my graduation I will dedicate my life to work.
I will go to the north and give them my service because currently there is crisis - there are very few medical personnel and people are really dying because of that so I'd be grateful to work."
During the conflict, Helen Amony Omono struggled to protect the children under her care. In 2002 she was the head teacher at a school in a village that came under attack by the LRA.
She is now head at Pajimo Primary School where she no longer has to worry about security:
There is a lot of hunger to learn here.
We have seen the results improve slightly with the peace.
There is more concentration in class compared to those days when there was a lot of trauma and fear especially when they heard gunshots because the children feared they'd be abducted.
When the war was on the majority of the students were displaced and lived in the camp.
Some were born in the camp so they hadn't known what village life was like.
Life there was not good - people were congested, rebels targeted the camps and there was a lot of indiscipline and sickness.
Many people died from cholera, hepatitis and other diseases including HIV/Aids.
When there was abduction the children would fear coming to school.
At 10:00 people would begin walking in groups but by 15:00 there would be no movement because of the risk of abduction or being killed.
But these days it's ok - people can even walk at night as there is peace.
Today many students want to join the school.
Our first class, P1, has 141 students. There are two teachers manning the class doing all the activities together.
Around the school there are signs promoting peace: "Talk peace listen to peace and discuss peace."
We have always been talking to the children about peace and what they can do to bring about peace.
If anything bad happens or there is a problem they should discuss so people can live in total peace.
We pray that no more conflicts come around so our children can begin living normal lives.
We no longer want to live a traumatised life.
Sarah Fox's son Aaron, died aged 16.
Ms Fox said it was "horrendous" watching her son "self destruct" and said she believes a secure unit could have saved his life.
She said she felt powerless and was told Aaron had to want to quit drugs to get all the help he needed.
"There was nothing we could do, it had to be down to Aaron," she said.
"How can a 15-year-old boy know he needs help?
"We're his legal guardians - we should have been the ones making the decisions, not him.
"These kids need to be on their knees before anyone will listen.
"It keeps us awake and puts knots in your stomach. I just wish we could just go back to that day."
In a statement to the BBC, the Department of Health said there were currently no secure treatment units available for under 18s.
They said care for children with addiction problems is provided in line with NICE guidelines, which indicate self help as the first line of treatment and then formal cognitive behavioural therapy with family support.
They said there was not enough demand for a secure unit and the priority for the future would be strengthening existing provision in early intervention and intensive community based support, rather than on a specialist secure unit.
The health minister, Michelle O'Neill said she is trying to improve the response for those who are in crisis.
SDLP MLA Nicola Mallon said she is dealing with cases similar to Aaron's in her own constituency, and said there is not enough support available.
She said when a child's mental health has deteriorated due to drug use there is no safe and secure space available to them.
"For children who really, really are in a bad place, they need somewhere they can go", she told BBC News NI.
"It's not about locking a child up - it's about trying to put the child somewhere safe so that they can get all the help they need."
The governing body completed a review in the Japanese capital on Thursday.
Only 12% of available tickets had been sold a month before the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
"The level of interest and awareness in the Games is like nothing we have experienced with three years still to go," said IPC chief Xavier Gonzalez.
"We have been captivated by the visibility of the Paralympic brand around the city."
Gonzalez added he was "confident" Tokyo 2020 could beat records for ticket sales set at London 2012, when one million tickets were sold in the first month they were available, with 2.85 million eventually sold.
The Inspector General of Police, Kale Kayihura, said that a suspect had confessed to killing eight women on the orders of businessmen.
The murders were for ritual sacrifices, Gen Kayihura told residents of Nansana municipality.
Local media say 17 women have been killed in a gruesome manner since May.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories
Police spokesman Asan Kasingye told the BBC that while the murders occurred in the same district, they were not all related.
He said that in the majority of cases, the victims were sex workers who had been raped and strangled in isolated places in "the wee hours of the morning".
"Two were students," he said, adding that in five cases the women had been killed by their estranged partners.
Mr Kasingye said the municipalities were at least 60 km (40 miles) apart.
He said that Gen Kayihura was reacting to local media reports that the police had failed to apprehend the culprits.
"In all but one of the cases the suspects have been apprehended," Mr Kasingye said.
The Prince has been visiting Queen's University's cyber security unit at the Science Park in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.

The Prince was accompanied by Lord Lieutenant Fionnuala Jay O'Boyle and Secretary of State Theresa Villiers.
Macfarlane has conditionally agreed to buy Leicester-based Nelsons for Cartons and Packaging Ltd in a deal worth up to £6.75m.
Macfarlane intends to raise £5.8m through a placing in order to fund the deal.
In April, the group acquired Colton Packaging Teesside for up to £1.25m.
Colton was part of Colton Packaging, an established regional distributor of protective packaging materials.
Last year, Nelsons achieved revenues of about £7.9m, with an operating profit of about £800,000.
In a statement, Macfarlane said it had "very little customer overlap" with Nelsons, adding that the deal would increase its shelf-ready packaging product range.
Chief executive Peter Atkinson said: "The addition of Nelsons Packaging to the Macfarlane Group is another significant step forward in our growth strategy.
"Nelsons is a high-quality business and in addition to improving the Macfarlane presence in the East Midlands, the Nelson team bring specific expertise in corrugate packaging applications which will be of wider benefit to Macfarlane."

So there was heartache in the hills and despairing in the dales as Jaguar Land Rover announced it will cease production of its Defender model in 2015 because it will not meet new European laws on fuel emissions.
The last Land Rover Defender will roll off the production line in Solihull in December 2015, bringing to an end a 67-year history of different versions of the model.
"It's a mistake," said Land Rover Defender owner Viv Wing, from Grantham in Lincolnshire. "What are they going to make instead? Something with nice seats and too much carpet, probably."
While the luxuries of sleek, modern makes may be what many motor enthusiasts aspire to, it is the all-weather hardiness of the Defender that is part of the charm for its devoted worldwide following.
"It's a brilliant bit of kit," said Mrs Wing, the secretary of the Leicestershire and Rutland Land Rover Club. "Some people would prefer a Ferrari, but each to his own."
For Mrs Wing, who has mobility issues following a riding accident, the Defender is a lifeline, taking her out into terrain she otherwise would not be able to access.
"I love the countryside and the Defender enables me to get out and see the views," she said. "We went up Stanage Edge in the Peak District in ours the other week."
In October 2012, Mrs Wing and her husband Mick joined up with 10 other owners on a 3,000-mile round trip through Europe to the Sahara Desert.
"One guy's engine flooded, so he stood and fixed it by the side of the road in the desert," she said. "You can do that with a Land Rover."
The ease of repair - at least for the pre-1998 models which were constructed with minimal electronics - is another appeal for owners.
"They're like a big Meccano set really," said Richard Smith, 48, from Redditch, chairman of the Midland Rover Owners Club - the oldest in the country. "They are infinitely recyclable."
He uses his six Land Rovers - the oldest, a Series 2, dating from 1959, to take part in trialling and rallies.
"I've heard of people driving them round patched up with gaffer tape. I knew a guy who drove back from Wales with a piece of string tied round his throttle cable when his throttle broke."
The Defender is probably best known for its all-weather roadworthiness. While some cars shrink from extreme conditions, the Defender was built to tackle them head-on.
Mr Smith said his members work with NHS on-call medical staff during floods and snowfall to transport nurses to critically ill patients.
"It's quite fulfilling to be able to help them do that," he said. "Not many people know we are involved in that work."
Often the love of Land Rovers is passed down the generations. Simone Birch, from Leicester, claims the vehicles are "in her blood".
Both Mrs Birch's two grown-up sons own Land Rovers and her three-year-old grandson can now name all the different models.
"They have a cult following," she said. "When you pass another one on the road, the driver waves at you."
So what will the demise of the Defender mean for devotees?
"We'll still be able to get the parts - there are plenty of third-party suppliers," said John Kesterton, from Solihull, secretary of the Midland branch.
"And while we don't know what the replacement vehicle is going to be, hopefully it will maintain the Defender's off-road capabilities."
So does he plan to trade in his 1998 Defender CSW, with 175,000 miles on the clock?
"Not any time soon," he said.
It happened on Tuesday at about 22:00 GMT on the Monagh Road in Turf Lodge.
The man, who is in his 20s, was taken to hospital to be treated for gun-shot wounds.
Hours before, the PSNI had been carrying out enquiries in the area into the shooting of a husband and wife last Thursday.
It is the third paramilitary style shooting in Turf Lodge since the start of January.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
Lawyers for Liam Adams said the level of media coverage on both sides of the Irish border even before his trial turned it into "a national issue".
They also argued guidance to the jury may have wrongly shifted the burden onto him to prove he was innocent of a string of sexual assaults on his daughter Áine. The appeal continues.
Liam Adams, 59, formerly of Bernagh Drive in Belfast, is serving a 16-year jail sentence for the offences against his daughter, who waived her right to anonymity.
The abuse was said to have been committed over a six-year period between 1977 and 1982 when she was aged between four and nine.
He consistently denied the allegations throughout a second trial at Belfast Crown Court in 2013.
However, a jury convicted him of 10 offences against his daughter: three charges of rape, four counts of indecent assault and a further three counts of gross indecency.
At the start of his appeal on Wednesday, he smiled at his wife Bronagh and other relatives who had gathered in the public gallery to support him.
Opening the case, his barrister said they were challenging what she said was the trial judge's failure to direct the jury on how they should assess issues about the extensive publicity before and after a first trial that had collapsed due to legal reasons.
She said a television documentary had sparked widespread media attention.
Her client's brother, Gerry Adams, revealed in an interview that his father subjected family members to sexual abuse, the court heard.
Giving evidence as a prosecution witness at the first trial, the Sinn Féin president claimed his brother confessed to him that he had "molested" his daughter.
Focusing on the level of publicity, the barrister said that by the time of the second trial, any jury member would have heard about the case and her client's earlier battle against being extradited from the Republic of Ireland.
"What makes this case different from a case where someone who is well-known to the public is being tried for serious criminal offences... (is) the complainant, against the advice of police as it turned out, made a television programme," she said.
The barrister also claimed that the trial judge got it wrong in how she directed jurors on dealing with Liam Adams' witness box account.
"It's at the very least open to the danger that the jury may have thought in this case, because the defendant gave evidence, that in some way the burden of proof reverted to him," she said.
The case continues.
The attack comes just over a week before a historic election in Myanmar (also known as Burma).
National League for Democracy (NLD) MP Naing Ngan Lin was rushed to hospital with head and hand injuries, but the party said his life was not in danger.
The attackers were detained by police, who said the motive was not clear.
Witnesses told the BBC's Jonah Fisher that several men, some armed with swords, interrupted the opposition rally in Thaketa township on Thursday.
"We have no idea what are the motives for the attack and who is behind it. It's important to take effective legal action after investigation," said NLD spokesman Nyan Win told Reuters.
The violence comes ten days before Myanmar's election and three days before NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi is due to hold a large rally, also in Yangon.
The poll on 8 November will be the country's first openly contested general election in 25 years. The NLD is expected to win the most seats.
Public threats had been made before the rally warning the opposition to cancel, but they were ignored.
In the footage released online, 56-year-old Craig Bruce McAllister said he was kidnapped by an unnamed group.
Australia said on Wednesday it was aware one of its nationals had been kidnapped in the country.
It has previously said it does not pay ransom money.
Yemen is engulfed in a war between forces backing President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and Houthi rebels.
Mr McAllister is believed to have lived in Yemen for about six years, where he was coaching a youth football team in the capital, Sanaa.
In the 24-second video, Mr McAllister, who appears unharmed, says he was "kidnapped by a group here".
"They are requesting that the Australian government send the money they have requested."
But no ransom amount was disclosed and no group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
Kidnappings of foreigners are frequent in Yemen.
Earlier this month, a French-Tunisian woman who was kidnapped last December while working for the International Committee of the Red Cross was released.
A Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen's internationally recognized president, who is exiled, has been fighting the rebels and their allies since March 2015.
The war has killed nearly 7,000 people, mostly civilians, the UN says.
Rory Patterson gave City the perfect start when his free-kick hit the bottom corner after just three minutes.
The hosts came into the game after early City dominance and Sean Thornton levelled from a penalty.
Josh Daniels grabbed the Derry winner 10 minutes after the restart, his curling strike finding the top corner and sealing a place in the last 16.
Derry were held to a 1-1 draw by the First Division side on Friday but they were deserved victors on Tuesday night.
Patterson's 25-yard free-kick went through the wall and past keeper Stephen McGuinness for the opener.
However, the striker was forced off with a hamstring injury 10 minutes later to make him a doubt for Sunday's league clash against Bray Wanderers.
Thornton fired a free-kick just over and City stopper Ger Doherty denied Aaron Ashe before the 36th minute equaliser.
Aaron Molloy was pushed by Dean Jarvis as he prepared to strike on goal and Thornton stepped up to drill home from 12 yards.
Austrian midfielder Lukas Schubert was making his first start for the Candystripes and he flashed wide before setting up Daniels for the decisive third goal of the game.
Daniels latched on to Schubert's pass before bending his shot beyond McGuinness.
City pressed for a third goal and McGuinness managed to claw away an Aaron Barry header while Drogheda failed to threaten at the other end.
Ian Henderson returned to top form with a brace either side of a Calvin Andrew finish for Keith Hill's men.
Steven Davies saw his ninth-minute penalty saved by Lloyd Allinson as the home side made the early running.
Gboly Ariyibi should have done better when clean through on goal but was denied by Conrad Logan before Dale made the breakthrough in the 45th minute.
Keith Keane and Oliver Rathbone combined to tee up Henderson, who curled a screamer wide of Allinson in the Spireites goal.
And Dale doubled their lead in the 59th minute when Davies and Henderson linked up in the area for Andrew to crash home a decisive finish.
Ched Evans threatened with a couple of half chances for the visitors but Henderson completed the scoring in the 84th minute, slamming Davies' pass into the roof of the net from close range.

In a report, the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said such women were an "untapped recruitment pool" for MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.
It said more than half of the civil service were women, but the figure was 37% in the intelligence agencies.
Hazel Blears, the Labour MP who led the report, called for a culture change.
Women make up 53% of all civil servant roles but the report found that in the three intelligence agencies there are "disproportionally more" female members of staff at junior grades, with only 19% reaching senior grades.
The report said women should not be limited to certain jobs.
Ms Blears said: "I personally want women to be attracted to a career in intelligence and to feel there is the prospect of real advancement."
Speaking to BBC's Woman's Hour she said things are improving but are still not good enough.
She said "We need to keep using women's skills and experience.
"If you have been running agents in Afghanistan, you are a really valuable resource.
"It is absolutely crucial that after you come back having had children that you don't go into something like HR or finance."
Ms Blears claimed there could be an issue for women with children when MI6 officers needed to travel abroad.
She said: "There is a bit of testosterone in the system that says 'tickets, money, passport - we all have to get there'.
"And if you've got children, finding 24-hour childcare is often very difficult.
"I feel quite strongly that the agencies can plan better, even for emergencies, you can have plans in place, you can have childcare providers."
Ms Blears said some female recruits at MI6 had complained about the attitudes they encountered within the service.
One female recruit told the committee that she thought the organisational culture was male dominated.
She said: "I was told once during training that I could have used my 'womanly charms' to build rapport by a role player, which I found very frustrating as I wondered what my male colleagues did to build rapport without such charms."
A government spokesman said it was determined to increase the number of women in the security and intelligence agencies, particularly at a senior level.
He said: "The agencies have made good progress, which is acknowledged by the ISC, and clearly demonstrated by the representation of agency boards and by the increasing availability of operational roles with flexible working patterns.
"We are committed to ensuring the most talented people succeed and reach top positions, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or disability, and will report to the ISC by 2016."
Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright praised Ms Blears' three-year investigation and said it echoed work she had done at the CIA.
She said: "Diversity should be pursued - not just on legal or ethical grounds - but because it will result in a better response to the range of threats that threaten national security."
Mumsnet chief executive Justine Roberts offered a tongue-in-cheek response to the suggestion that the parenting forum was a suitable place to recruit female spies.
Referring to Cold War spy tactics, she said: "I'm afraid I'm unable to comment as I have an urgent appointment with a rock in St. James's Park."
The first three ODIs count towards the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women's Championship, which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup.
"They always seem to get themselves in and among semi-finals in the major tournaments," Winfield told BBC Sport.

"Our job is to make sure our game is on top form."
Winfield, 24, added: "They've got good players in Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates, and they've also got some players we've not seen a great deal of, so they're not to be underestimated."
England dominated Sunday's game with Northern Districts at the same Bay Oval venue.
Yorkshire right-hander Winfield made 33 from 42 balls as England racked up 342-9 from 50 overs. The hosts then slipped to 109-7 after 35 overs, at which point the target was revised.
"It's a good track out here and we've managed to put plenty of runs on the board," said Winfield.
"We're really excited moving into the first one-day international, playing a really aggressive brand of cricket, and we're expecting to score big runs.

Guto Pugh, from Machynlleth, Powys, died after the collision on the A496 in Barmouth. while he was on his way to work at the Bae Abermaw Hotel.
The 21-year-old was the leader of Bangor University Brass Band and a member of Band Llanrug.
Fellow musicians described the cornet player as a "gentle, lovely and talented person".
Bangor University Brass Band said: "This is a great loss to the band, the university and the world."
Band Pres Porthaethwy, where the music student helped out, wrote he was a "top bandsman who will be missed by many."
The crash happened on the A496 at Caerdeon between Bontddu and Barmouth at about 07:25 BST on Saturday.
Amy Barrack, who set up the page, wrote: "Guto was an amazing person, a ray of sunshine and a true friend."
In a statement, Bae Abermaw Hotel said: "Sadly one of our valued staff members, Guto Pugh, was killed in a tragic accident on the way to work on Saturday morning.
"We would like to extend our condolences to his family and friends at this sad time.
"Guto was an amazing person and he kept us all smiling, he will be sorely missed."
Graeme Pearson said Police Scotland was "centralised and autocratic" with little local accountability.
He has outlined a series of recommendations aimed at improving the single service.
The Scottish government said Labour had fully supported the creation of a single police force.
A spokesman added: "Policing in Scotland is built on strong foundations. This SNP government has seen crime fall to a 41-year low, supported by the 1,000 extra officers that we have delivered - in stark contrast to England and Wales, which has seen a decrease of over 15,300 officers since 2007.‬"
Mr Pearson is a former Deputy Chief Constable of Strathclyde Police who later headed the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency.
He said he had spoken to the public, rank and file officers, civilian staff, community groups, victim support staff and others while compiling his report on Police Scotland.
The force has been at the centre of a series of controversies since its creation in 2013, with its chief constable, Sir Stephen House, due to stand down from his post at the end of the month.
Among Mr Pearson's recommendations were for the Scottish Parliament to create a new committee to oversee all of the emergency services, including the police.
His other suggestions included:
Mr Pearson argued that the SPA had the "demeanour of a rubber stamping body" and had failed in its role to hold the chief constable to account over issues such as deploying armed officers to routine calls and the force's use of stop and search tactics.
And he said promises on local accountability and cost savings had not been delivered.
Mr Pearson said: "The people of Scotland need and deserve a police force that does its job thoroughly and efficiently. It has been increasingly clear in recent years that Police Scotland is not working properly.
"Going around the country, listening to what ordinary officers, staff, members of the public and local politicians have had to say has painted a worryingly consistent picture of a centralised, politicised and autocratic police force with little to no meaningful local accountability.
"All this has emerged as a consequence of the Scottish government's handling of the formation of Police Scotland."
He also said the Scottish government had "failed to produce a full business case for Police Scotland".
Mr Pearson said the business case should have set out the justification for the reform; the costs involved; and a detailed expectation of the benefits of merging the country's eight regional forces.
The Scottish government said Mr Pearson's claim was wrong as "there was a full outline business case for police reform with significant stakeholder input which was published in its entirety as part of the financial memorandum to the Police and Fire Reform Bill, backed by cross-party support".
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Mr Pearson's report was an "admission of guilt by the Labour Party who first proposed centralisation and then voted for the SNP's Bill even though there was no proper business plan."
He added: "The Labour Party may not be in charge but they must bear some of the responsibility for what went wrong with Police Scotland."
After she was asked on Twitter to give a hint as to what the book would be called, Rowling said if someone correctly guessed she would confirm it.
She then hinted the title was two words made up of _ _ _ H _ _ / _ H _ _ _.
After many suggestions including Eighty Shoes, Mashed Chips, Mayhem Sheep and Mighty Thumb, someone correctly guessed Lethal White.
"Well, that was fun," Rowling tweeted, before promising the fan a signed copy of the book, "when I finally finish it".
The Cormoran Strike crime novels, written under Rowling's pseudonym Robert Galbraith, follow a private investigator and his assistant.
Last year, the author revealed to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba that the next book would pick up immediately after the events at the climax of the third novel, Career of Evil.
The BBC is adapting the first two books in the series, The Cuckoo's Calling and The Silkworm.

Advocate depute Jennifer Bain said there was a compelling circumstantial case against the accused Kevin Park,
Miss Bain said: "Unless Kevin Park is an incredibly unlucky babysitter he caused these injuries."
Mr Park, 27, denies murdering Madison at the family home in Kelty, Fife, on 20 April. Later on Tuesday the jury will hear the defence speech.
At the High Court in Glasgow Miss Bain said: "On April 20, Easter Sunday, Madison Horn was brutally attacked in her home and she was unable to defend herself.
"She was struck again and again until she was covered in bruises, her skull was fractured and she had significant internal injuries. These injuries were unsurvivable."
It is alleged Mr Park pulled Madison's hair, lifted her up and repeatedly struck her head against a wall, bit her on the body and repeatedly struck her on the head and body by means unknown to the prosecutor.
The court has heard Madison, who died from blunt force trauma to her head and abdomen, had 65 separate injuries including a fractured skull, tears to her liver and bruising to her head and body.
Miss Bain added: "The Crown contends these injuries were inflicted on Madison in the course of a brutal attack."
The prosecutor told the jury that medical experts claimed that significant force would have been required to inflict some of the injuries.
She spoke of two dents in the hallway of the house which Madison's mother Ann Marie White said there had not been there before she left the house about 14:00 to go to a friend's birthday party in Cowdenbeath.
Miss Bain told the jury one of Madison's hairs was found in the cracked plaster in one of the indentations and her DNA was on both the dents.
The prosecutor said: "She was only 90.5cm and the indentations were 149cm and 165cm from the floor. If she was struck against the wall she would have to be raised to that height in some way or by someone.
"Madison Horn had no injuries when her mother left that day."
The court has heard Mr Park called 999 at about 18:00 saying Madison's lips had turned blue.
Miss Bain said: "The 999 call handler said she didn't think he was performing CPR on her. She said she didn't hear anything being done. What could be more important than CPR. Why would he not do everything to save her."
Defence QC Mark Stewart used his closing speech to urge the jury of nine men and six women to acquit Mr Park.
He described the forensic investigation of the house where Madison died in the case as "substandard" and said there was "a huge question mark" over it.
Mr Stewart also attacked evidence given by a doctor and two pathologists during the trial saying they were dealing in speculation.
He said: "There is not one iota of evidence to suggest an attack on the child.
"The evidence in this case at every stage has flaws and is open to criticism. "
Mr Stewart said that two unusual incidents happened to Madison that day.
The first he said was at about 10:00 or 11:00 when a walking machine fell on her injuring her stomach and the second when a bed she was jumping on collapsed and she fell from it.
He added: "I don't think it is in dispute these two incidents happened where there was potential for an abdominal injury and potential for a head injury."
The QC criticised the forensic team for not examining the walking machine or the furniture in Madison's bedroom.
The defence counsel denied the suggestion that Mr Park was uncaring and added: "It is wrong to suggest that Mr Park was emotionless and not concerned by what happened to the child.
"We heard the 999 call in which he says: 'It's my bairn, it's my bairn. Her lips have gone blue.'
"People respond to situations differently and at the time no-one knew how serious it was."
He told the jury they should not deal in preconceptions or suspicions to come to their decision and added: "The Crown has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that this child was assaulted or assaulted by Kevin Park."
The trial before judge Michael O'Grady continues.
Judge O'Grady is expected to charge the jury on Wednesday.
Mr Bell was temporarily reinstated as minister to put forward the Credit Unions and Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Bill in the Assembly.
He said the legislation would give "greater operational flexibility" to credit unions and to industrial and provident societies.
The bill will enable credit unions to offer shares which entitle holders to interest rather than a dividend.
There are a number of other measures.
These include allowing credit unions to offer membership to groups rather than just individuals.
DUP ministers are resigning and being reinstated for a few hours each week for the duration of talks aimed at resolving the political crisis.
SDLP MLA Fearghal McKinney said Mr Bell "should be embarrassed" by the DUP's policy.
He said: "How can you do business if the chief executive officer is not in the boardroom?"
But concluding the debate, Mr Bell said that it was "shameful" that no MLA had mentioned the murder of Kevin McGuigan.
He said that anyone who thought there could be "business as usual" was "deluding themselves and not serving the interests of jobs and employment in Northern Ireland".
Mr Bell resigned along with several other DUP ministers as a result of the political crisis at Stormont.
It was triggered following a police assessment that IRA members were involved in the murder of a former IRA man in Belfast in August.
Sinn Féin said the IRA has gone away and is not coming back.
Feyenoord could have gone nine points clear with a win but that never looked likely after Lasse Schone put the hosts ahead in the first minute with a fine free-kick.
Brazilian forward David Neres doubled Ajax's lead with a goal on his debut before half time.
Michiel Kramer responded for Feyenoord in stoppage-time but Ajax held on.
Feyenoord, who last won the title in 1999, have now lost two of their last four games.
Last season's champions PSV Eindhoven are also still in the hunt as their 2-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam moved them to within two points of Ajax, and five of the lead.

His performance of White Light led some to accuse him of using Sunday night's event to promote his new material.
"I hope you are not bothered by the press reports of my scandalous 'promotion'!!!" the former Wham! star told his fans via Twitter on Tuesday.
The performance at the Olympic Stadium was the 49-year-old's first since his life-threatening battle with pneumonia.
The Careless Whisper singer spent a month in hospital in Vienna after contracting the illness last year.
Sunday's extravaganza also included musical performances from Annie Lennox, Take That, the Spice Girls and The Who. Each sang one or more of their best-known songs.
Michael, wearing sunglasses and dressed in black leather, came on stage in front of 80,000 people to sing his 1990 hit Freedom.
He followed it with White Light, a slower number inspired by his near-death experience.
Some viewers felt this was inappropriate and expressed their objections via Twitter.
"Not the time for new single promo," said Steve Anderson, a musical director for Kylie Minogue and Westlife.
"I'm genuinely surprised he was allowed to do this."
In his own Twitter postings, Michael said: "It was my one chance on tv to thank you all for your loyalty and prayers, and I took it.
"And I don't regret it," he added.
Several artists have enjoyed a sales boost since the show, with Elbow's One Day Like This and Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill both entering the iTunes Top 10.
Michael's White Light reached number two on Sunday and was ranked in 22nd place in the iTunes countdown on Tuesday afternoon.
The closing ceremony, described by organisers as "A Symphony of British Music", was watched at its peak by 26.3 million viewers in the UK.
Brymbo Heritage Group (BHG) is working with partners including The Prince's Regeneration Trust (PRT) in a bid to breathe life into historic buildings at the former Brymbo steelworks.
The sprawling complex employed almost 2,500 people at its peak but it closed in 1990 after almost 200 years.
Some of the land has been redeveloped.
The group hopes to re-use nine old buildings, creating a heritage centre, learning facilities, business units, shops and apartments as well as open spaces.
The site is also home to a 300 million-year-old fossil forest uncovered in 2005.
Experts are meeting with the heritage group and members of the public next week to take the plans forward. A public meeting is also due to be held on Thursday 12 February at 18:00 GMT.
The Italian team have bounced back from their worst season in two decades in 2014 to win three races this year.
Arrivabene said: "We are happy with this year but we need to keep our feet on the ground looking at the results.
"We want to be competitive next year and that means being able to fight hopefully head to head with Mercedes."
Arrivabene was drafted in for this season following the sacking of the last team principal Marco Mattiacci after only seven months in charge.
Mattiacci himself had replaced the previous incumbent Stefano Domenicali, who resigned when it became clear just how far off the pace Ferrari had fallen in the early races of 2014.
The turnaround is largely due to a significant step forward in performance from the engine, which is now virtually a match for Mercedes after struggling last year.
But Ferrari's chassis is still some way off the best in F1.
Arrivabene - speaking in an exclusive interview with BBC Sport - praised the role played by new signing Sebastian Vettel, who replaced Fernando Alonso this season after the Spaniard left because he had lost faith Ferrari would be able to give him a title-winning car before the end of 2016.
Arrivabene said the key to Ferrari's progress was working together as a team, rather than as separate departments.
"Sebastian has the enthusiasm," he said. "With the results he was able to get together with the team he had even more a kind of commitment.
"Then in my role I need to make the right balance, not only in between the drivers, but also in between the team because all the components of the team are doing their job.
"We need to prevent the creation of any kind of silos and we must be focused on what we are doing and on working together. Of course the driver is the main actor of the show but when the driver has a good car and can extrapolate the best then the whole orchestra sounds good."

Arrivabene said the reasons behind retaining Kimi Raikkonen for 2016 despite a lacklustre season were to do with not upsetting the balance within the team.
"First, he is the last world champion of Ferrari," Arrivabene said, making a reference to the Finn's title in his first period with the team in 2007. "Then, when the team is quite new, you need to keep the stability.
"A new driver who comes in like a rocket in a completely new situation needs to adapt and we have no time for adaptation, we have to be focused on what we are doing without distraction."

Jamie Mines was injured at Kendrick Industrial Estate, Swindon, in December.
The Health and Safety Executive is investigating.
The semi-professional player, from Frome, remains in hospital and said the support he has received has given him a "huge lift".
He thanked well-wishers and donors for their "generosity".
Mr Mines, well-known locally as a player for Frome Town, Radstock, Larkhall and Paulton football clubs, is described as a "goal machine".
His friend Ian Kennedy, who set the fund-raising page up, initially put a target of £20,000, but after Mr Mines' second hand was amputated it was raised to £100,000.
The page has received more than 2,500 donations from across the world.
He said: "The support everyone has shown is admirable, humbling and simply amazing.
"We're not stopping here, this is only the start of Jamie's recovery and this is only the start of our show of support and love for him and his family."
Mr Mines was placed in an induced coma and also had the toes on his remaining foot removed.
Due to the accident he missed his first Christmas with his five-month-old twins Isabella and Savannah.
He is recovering in the intensive care unit at Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
Megan Donald's tongue became jammed in the Monsters Inc screw-top cup while at school in Kirkintilloch, near Glasgow.
It was removed by hospital staff using a hacksaw and drill four hours later.
The Disney Store said it had withdrawn the mug and similar products from sale across Europe and destroyed all current stocks.
But Megan's mother Natalie, 31, from Kirkintilloch, said she was concerned the same thing could happen to other children and has called for the company to recall the product.
She told the BBC Scotland news website: "They said they had removed the mug from sale but what about all the people that already have them? I just want to warn people about them.
"You would never think this was something that could happen. You would never think a cup like that could be a danger."
Mrs Donald was called to Megan's school, Harestanes Primary, at about 10:30 last Wednesday to find her daughter's tongue had become stuck in the drinking spout in the cup's lid because of the suction created. And as there were no ventilation holes the cup could not be moved.
"The mug was still attached and full of water so it was very heavy, a teacher was holding it up," Mrs Donald said. "They couldn't unscrew it because of the suction inside the cup. It was airtight. Megan was panicking and very upset."
After an ambulance was called, Mrs Donald managed to get her hand into her daughter's mouth and move her tongue away from the hole enough to let some air in, allowing the cup to be unscrewed from the lid.
However, the lid was stuck halfway up Megan's tongue.
"Her tongue was really swollen and quite purple," Mrs Donald said. "The ambulance arrived but said they would have to take her to A&E. The doctor there said he had never seen anything like it before so it was trial and error for them."
The medical team at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow gave Megan pain relief and tried to reduce the swelling with ice and dextrose but the lid was stuck fast.
They also tried using bolt cutters to cut the hard plastic but could not get close enough to Megan's face so then tried the hacksaw.
"They then got someone down from dentistry who gave her a local anaesthetic in her tongue which was really painful for her," Mrs Donald said. "She was screaming and I had to hold her down. It was very upsetting for both of us. But they still couldn't pull the lid off."
The doctors then told Mrs Donald and her husband Stewart that if they could not get the lid off they would need to take her daughter to theatre but they were concerned about doing that as they would not be able to insert a ventialtion tube through her mouth.
"The doctor got a new blade for the hacksaw and managed to cut away part of the lid," Mrs Donald said. "They then managed to use the dentist drill to make a line through it and managed to pull it off.
"We were so relieved. The lid was probably stuck on there for more than four hours."
Megan had to stay off school for the rest of the week as she could not eat properly because of the swelling.
The mug had been bought from the Disney Store in Glasgow's St Enoch Centre.
A Disney Store spokesman said: "This is undoubtedly an unfortunate incident that we've taken seriously by immediately stopping sales of the mug from our stores and websites and destroying all other existing stock."
The company has also withdrawn the sale of a further three mugs which were based on the same design.
The spokesman said there were currently no plans to recall the product.
It is understood that customers can return the mugs for a refund.
The Disney Store said it always ensured that all of its items went through rigorous quality and safety testing before they reached its stores and added that Trading Standards were in full support of the measures it was taking.
A second mother has told BBC Scotland that her nine-year-old son also got his tongue stuck in a similar cup from the Disney Store.
Michelle Dawson, of Bonnyrigg, said her son Will McQueen's tongue was only stuck for "half a minute" but it left him "absolutely hysterical".
"I was sat next to him on the sofa when it happened," she said.
"It could have been worse if I had not been sitting beside him. It was only timing and luck that was on our side."
When she returned it to the store in Edinburgh, she said she was shocked when a manger told her: "You're not supposed to put your mouth on the cup, just tip the water in."
"I was absolutely floored," she said. Ms Dawson said they had been able to choose a cup of a different design to replace the faulty mug. | An outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers) has claimed lives in South Korea.

Birmingham-born Matt Smith headed home fellow January signing Luke Freeman's corner to put QPR ahead on 18 minutes.
Conor Washington shot home to double the lead two minutes after the break.
Idrissa Sylla headed a close-range third, then Yeni N'Gbakoto struck a late fourth before Emilio Nsue pulled one back in injury time for Blues.
City's defeat was their heaviest under Zola - and their worst at St Andrew's since the 8-0 club record defeat by Bournemouth in October 2014, the game before Zola's predecessor Gary Rowett took charge.
Blues were without suspended midfielders Craig Gardner and David Davis, injured centre-half Michael Morrison and top scorer Lukas Jutkiewicz. He was out with a hamstring injury suffered in training after scoring six of the nine goals Blues had managed in their previous 13 games under Zola.
And they were further disrupted by the first-half loss of Cheick Keita, but that was after the first goal from Smith, who was denied a second by a fine save from Tomasz Kuszczak.
Washington stunned City with his early second-half strike, blasting home after the hosts failed to clear a cross, before two goals in the final six minutes.
Sylla headed home a right-wing cross from Pawel Wszolek, before N'Gbakoto's long-range shot wrapped up a victory spoiled only by Nsue's injury-time consolation goal.
Although the Hoops, who climb three places to 16th, have won comfortably more points away from home in the Championship this season (21) than they have at Loftus Road (16), the size of this defeat was still a shock.
Blues have now picked up just six points in 12 league games under Zola. Only Bristol City (five points) have won fewer since his appointment on 14 December - and they have played two games fewer.
Birmingham-born Matt Smith played for three Midlands non-league sides, Redditch United, Evesham Town and Solihull Moors, while he was a student at Manchester University.
After graduating with a first-class degree in international management with American business studies, he made his Football League debut with Oldham Athletic in 2011, since when he has also played for Leeds United, Fulham and Bristol City.
His father Ian Smith, who also played north of the border for Queens Park and Hearts, made two appearances for Birmingham City in 1975.
Birmingham City boss Gianfranco Zola:
"The result was very painful. Probably our worst performance. It was very frustrating. The situation is what football is all about.
"They were superior and we couldn't cope with the physicality of the opposition. On the other hand we couldn't produce enough quality to cause them problems.
"In the end we lost badly and I feel sorry for the players as it is hard for them at the present time."
QPR manager Ian Holloway:
"Matt Smith is a player I've always wanted. He is still catching up to speed. He is such a handful and scored with a brilliant header.
"The last thing you want is him towering above you. I am delighted for him as he is a wonderful kid. And what was also pleasing was that all my strikers scored.
"There is now a good feeling within the team. It shows where we are trying to get. The standard is so high and tough. We had some bad results which knocked our confidence but obviously I hope that we can build on this win."

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder made four appearances for the Shots - all as a substitute - during a month on loan towards the end of last season.
Rasulo spent two months on loan at Oldham this season and previously had a spell at Oxford United.
He has so far made 15 first-team appearances for MK Dons, nine of them in the league.

On another smorgasbord Saturday of action, it also proved to be 13th time lucky for a Championship struggler, the day a goal-shy midfielder hit a hat-trick, an assistant referee and manager hit the deck and a remarkable transformation continued.
When Barry Richardson agreed to combine his role of Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeping coach with back-up keeper after number one Matt Ingram was sold to QPR, little did he think he would be playing eight days later.
But an injury to Alex Lynch early in their game at Plymouth left the Chairboys with a goalkeeping emergency on their hands and turning to the 46-year-old.
His appearance off the bench came more than a decade after Richardson broke his leg in his last match for Doncaster, and 27 years since he made his senior debut for Scarborough in 1989.
Back then:
Richardson, older than both his Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth and Plymouth manager Derek Adams, had Argyle's press team scrambling to point out that the majority of their squad were not even born when Richardson first played at Scarborough.
Not anticipating he would be making his first Football League appearance since 2002, the veteran goalkeeper was even pictured having a cup of tea during the team's pre-game warm-up.
Despite the bizarre circumstances surrounding his introduction, he managed to help play-off chasing Wycombe overcome promotion hopefuls Argyle, who had previously netted in every home game this season, 1-0.
"The game is all about opportunity, and what an opportunity Barry Richardson has had this afternoon," Wycombe boss Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"He is now the oldest player to play for Wycombe, and not only did he keep a clean sheet but I think he is the first to do so at Plymouth this season. I won't be looking to start him next week though."
But while Wycombe celebrated their win, Plymouth's social media team were less than impressed:
Diving. It is part of the game. Some condemn it, others feel it is OK to take advantage where you can.
It would be interesting to get Graham Westley's take on simulation, as he proved he is as good at hitting the deck as anyone.
Westley gave a masterclass when, during the first half of Peterborough's 2-2 FA Cup fourth-round draw with West Bromwich Albion, his goalkeeper kicked a damaged and deflated ball out of play and inadvertently hit the Posh manager. Watch it here.
Theatrics followed, but Westley shook it off and sprang back to his feet.
However, there was a bit more cause for concern at Woking's Kingfield Stadium when a referee's assistant was forced off early on after the ball struck him in the face.
A Woking fan volunteered to take on fourth official duties after a lengthy delay and the game passed with no further major incidents as it finished 2-2.
Charlton have featured in the Saturday round-up a few times in recent weeks for all the wrong reasons - battered one week, protesting the next.
Today, however, the Championship's second-from-bottom side are celebrating their first win in 13 games after easing past Rotherham United 4-1.
It was the first time in nine games that Charlton had managed to score more than once in a game, and last time they did that they were locked in a 2-2 draw with bottom side Bolton Wanderers.
The side which had not won since 21 November took the lead after just four minutes, Simon Makienok latching on to a Zakarya Bergdich cut-back pass to score.
While the Millers responded through Chris Burke, Igor Vetokele restored Charlton's advantage before Dane Makienok added his second and Ademola Lookman gave the 739 travelling Addicks fans reason to cheer for the first time in a long while.
The triumph will also come as a relief for Jose Riga, having been reappointed boss earlier this month.
Thrown away the gym membership yet?
Well, not everyone can stick to their New Year's resolutions as well as Barnsley have in recent weeks, beating Swindon 1-0 to extend their winning league run to six games, dating back to 28 December.
They are unbeaten in 2016, having also finished the first leg of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Area final against Fleetwood level at 1-1.
Before their surge in form the Tykes had picked up one win from their previous nine league games - losing nine of their 14 matches in all competitions between 17 October and Christmas.
Victory at the County Ground moved them up to 12th in the League One table and to within five points of the play-off places.
As demonstrated by Wycombe keeper Richardson, it was one of those days when the usually unassuming made a big impact.
Jack Compton scored all of Yeovil's goals in the 3-2 win over AFC Wimbledon, having previously not scored in the league for almost two years.
The 27-year-old had scored 11 times in his previous 166 career appearances.
But he is making a habit of scoring - by his own own standards - having also netted in Yeovil's FA Cup third-round replay defeat by Carlisle earlier this month.
A risk assessment by Transport for London identified sections of track where the noise from Tube trains affects nearby residents.
Ms Shawcross has urged TfL to use the delay to the Night Tube to carry out repairs.
TfL said it was "confident" local residents will not be disturbed.
More on this story and other news from London
TfL's internal risk assessment was made public last month following a Freedom of Information request by The Times.
It found a four out of five chance that people living near to lines running at night would be "disturbed by noise, vibration and ground-borne noise".
The document also found that running trains at night could result in insufficient time to carry out maintenance, including rail-grinding, which helps keep tracks in good condition and reduces noise.
Ms Shawcross, Labour's transport spokeswoman on the Assembly, said: "When the Night Tube starts it will mean even more misery for those people living close to these sections of track who are already suffering from excess noise."
She recommended setting up a "noise-busters" team to respond to complaints and repair problematic sections of track.
Kevin Dunning, London Underground's network services director, said LU was carrying out hundreds of kilometres of rail-grinding in order to prepare for the launch of the Night Tube.
He said: "We're confident residents won't be disturbed and we'll of course continue to talk to anyone who has concerns once the service launches.
"The risk document was created to help us plan ahead and it's disappointing that Assembly members want to put a negative twist on this careful planning."
The Night Tube was originally due to begin operating in September last year but has been delayed due to ongoing disagreements between London Underground and unions representing drivers.
One of the first professional clowns in Hong Kong, the 35-year-old says that for the past 15 years he has been pursuing what he calls a "positive" career that "makes people happy".
Often fully booked, Ken Ken can earn as much as HK$550,000 ($71,000; £57,000) per year. And such is the continuing popularity of hiring a clown in Hong Kong for kids' parties that he is far from alone.
While he cut a lone figure back in 2001, Ken Ken says that today there are as many as 50 other professional clowns in the special administrative region, and that the number is rising fast.
In fact, such is the current demand for clowns in Hong Kong that employment agencies are organising classes to train up people.
One such agency is Grace Training and Development Centre. Enya Hui, one of its employment officers, says that clowning is now a "viable career path".
The current popularity of clowns in Hong Kong is in marked contrast to the woes faced by the entertainers in the US and Europe, who this year have had to endure the so-called "creepy clown craze".
This unlikely phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic saw people dressing up as scary clowns to terrify children and adults alike. It led to some schools going as far as even banning children from talking about the craze.
Against such a backdrop it is not surprising that clowns in the US and Europe have recently found bookings harder to come by - mums and dads are not likely to hire a clown for their child's birthday party if their little one is now scared of them.
What is less well known is that the clowning industry has been in long-term decline in its established markets, with the World Clown Association saying that membership numbers have fallen by almost a third over the past 10 years, from about 3,500 to 2,500.
So why are clowns struggling in the US and Europe, but booming in Hong Kong and other Asian countries, such as India?
When not performing as a clown Ken Ken's real name is Kenneth Ng. Describing his clown persona as "a happy and hyperactive five-year-old", Mr Ng says that it took him 10 years to develop the character.
While he always plays the same role, he says that "every performance is different".
With up to 100 performances a year, plus income from training other clowns at a weekly class, Mr Ng earns enough money from being a clown for it to be his only profession.
This is in marked contrast to most clowns in the US and Europe, who usually need another job to supplement their income.
Julie Varholdt, 52, a fourth-generation clown from Phoenix, Arizona, says that a typical clown in the US earns just $14,000 (£11,400) a year. This is five times less than Mr Ng, so one reason for the growing popularity of clowning in Hong Kong but decline in the US is inevitably financial.
Ms Varholdt says she is able to make enough money from being a clown - called Lovely Buttons - not to require a second source of income, but that it's not an easy ride.
"It takes a lot of work to be a full-time entertainer, you have to market yourself constantly, and work to secure your gigs," she says.
In the Indian city of Mumbai, Martin "Flubber" D'Souza is another full-time clown. He says he feels "empowered" when he becomes his character.
Despite his family's objections the 47-year-old became a professional clown after completing two university degrees, one in physics and another in management.
He now earns a good living both performing himself, and running a clown hire business that has 80 other performers, all university students, on its books.
Mr D'Souza says more young Indians want to become clowns because "the youth of today are looking for an alternative form of education and employment".
He adds: "They are bored with conventional nine-to-five jobs, and clowning has become respectable."
Mr D'Souza also thanks the popularity of Indian films.
"In India many youngsters are taking up dancing and performing thanks to Bollywood. I really believe there's a hunger for the stage and recognition because everyone wants to stand out.
"Today parents aren't shy to say that their son or daughter is a clown."
Another difference between clowning in Asia and that in the US and Europe is a significant age gap.
"You don't find a lot of young clowns in the West," says Mr D'Souza. The average age of clowns in Asia is between 25 and 30, whereas in the West, the average age is over 50.
"In the West they don't think of clowning as a lucrative career... but in Asia people are really looking at it as an alternative to an office or factory job."
As discussed, the problem for most clowns in the West is that it doesn't pay a great deal. At least outside of working for the likes of circus groups Ringling Bros and Cirque de Soleil, and Disney.
To attract more clowns in the US and Europe there will need to be an increase in popularity, which would raise demand and therefore earnings. This may be sometime away.
However Kenny Ahern, co-owner of Wisconsin-based Clown Camp, the world's largest clown school, says he is not worried.
"Clowning has not lasted throughout time without reason, and I don't expect it to be going anywhere," he says.
Many of us attended Jules's funeral in Nice on Tuesday, so it is all so clear in our minds as we arrive in Hungary this weekend for the final race before the summer break.
This year was already hard knowing Jules, who was a racer like all of us, was in hospital. We knew how serious his condition was, but obviously you were always hoping that he would pull through.
So to have heard that he is no longer with us; well, it is hard to believe in this day and age.
In my lifetime, three drivers' deaths have had a big impact on me. The first was Ayrton Senna back in 1994, when I was nine. Then later that year I saw a boy I knew called Daniel Spence die in karting. And now Jules.
Jules's funeral reminded me very much of Daniel's, the all-pervading feeling of sadness and loss. It was heartbreaking to see his family and friends in tears, hurting so much, and just knowing that they are going through the worst possible time.
Jules will be in all of our thoughts this weekend in Hungary but we will go out and race hard for him because, like him, we are all racers. That's what we do, what Jules did, and what he would want us to do.
When someone is lost like that, of course it is a shock, but there is no question in my mind about carrying on in racing, no doubts about getting back in the car.
I have no fear. I'll just get in and drive like I always do - you can't let things like that affect you. And it will make no difference to my focus and commitment.
I am going to Hungary with the intention to win and to extend my championship lead, as always.
Hungary marks the halfway point of the season and I have to say that, from the perspective of my racing, it has been a pretty awesome year so far.
Both in terms of my performance level and consistency, I am really happy with how things have gone.
Of course, I've had some bad luck - such as losing the win in Monaco after we made a strategy error late in the race, and getting a bad start because of a problem with the engine's electronic systems in Austria - but things like that are always going to happen from time to time.
Coming into this year, it was hard to think I could top last season, but I really do feel that this year has been better for me.
I have been working and focusing hard to try to take another step on a personal level with my driving and I am definitely more at home in the Mercedes car this year than I was in 2014.
The buzz from winning at home at Silverstone earlier this month lasted for quite a while and now we are at another of my favourite races and I am really looking forward to getting back in the car.
For some reason, I seem to gel pretty well with the Hungaroring. People are always asking me why, but I really don't know the reason.
It's a low-to-medium-speed circuit, almost like a big go-kart track, and I really do love driving it.
It doesn't look much, but it is a real challenge both technically and physically.
The only time you have a few seconds to catch your breath is down the pit straight.
Otherwise, there is no real time to relax, you are just going from one corner to the other, so you are under constant stress through the lap. It is always very hot in Budapest at this time of year - it was 37C when I arrived on Thursday morning - and that just adds to it.
It's a terrific weekend overall, actually, and if anyone is thinking of travelling to a race that's not in their own country, this is a good one to come to.
Budapest is a wonderful city and the fans and people here are so lovely. It is a very romantic city, with good food and a great energy. I would strongly advise people to come here and see it.
If I win this weekend, it would be my fifth time in nine races in Hungary. It would also be my 39th F1 victory.
I'm not generally one for statistics like that but someone told me the other day that if I win three of the next four races, I would equal the number of wins Senna had in the same number of races in his career - 41 from 161.
I have to admit that I find it hard to come to terms with that. I have always wanted to emulate Ayrton, but the fact that my name and achievements are even close to those of someone like him is unbelievable.
It makes me really proud. But I set out to win every race I enter, so I will be doing my best to achieve it.

Lewis Hamilton was talking to BBC Sport's Andrew Benson.
But sometimes minor details can be overlooked - like a player's shirt.
Northampton Town are currently fourth in their first season back in League One after promotion last year.
However, during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Swindon, striker JJ Hooper came off the bench without a name or number on his back.
"We forgot his jersey. It's as simple as that," Cobblers boss Rob Page told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I'd love to make something up, but we just got on with it and didn't make a fuss about it."
Despite his anonymity, Hooper set up the Cobblers' third goal as they earned their fourth win in five league matches.
"There were issues we had to address with scoring goals. We looked defensively solid at the start of the season.," continued Page.
"I thought all aspects of our game were excellent. It's great when you're winning games and you have to do it the ugly way.
"That's what we did, it wasn't the prettiest game of football, but when you pick up the paper in the morning it's three points on the board and we scored three goals."
The analysis of 20 separate studies, in the journal Neurology, showed changes in the brain's white matter and tiny lesions could be detected.
However, the reason for the differences and their impact are unclear.
Experts said more research needed to be conducted to explain the findings.
Dr Messoud Ashina, from the University of Copenhagen, said: "As a neurologist I see many patients with migraine who ask - does it damage my brain?"
He reviewed studies which had used MRI scans to examine the brains of patients with migraine.
It showed "white matter abnormalities" and mini-stroke like lesions were more common in migraine sufferers - particularly those who experience "aura" symptoms - than in people without migraines.
Dr Ashina said: "Migraine is associated with structural changes, but how and why we don't know".
Dr Mark Weatherall, a neurologist at Charing Cross hospital in London and the Migraine Trust, said: "It's a very interesting and useful exercise to have done this and it reinforces the question, what are we seeing?
"These changes, what do they mean, are they real, are they relevant and are they indicating progressive changes in the brain?"
Dr Fayyaz Ahmed, chair of the British Association for the Study of Headache, said: "It's been well known for some time that migraineurs, particularly those with aura, have silent high signal intensity lesions in the brain more than the general population. However, the significance of this remains uncertain.
"It would be too premature to say that a migraineur's brain is at high risk of future structural or functional problems unless there are long term longitudinal studies done."
The 29-year-old, who was linked with a move to West Ham in the summer, gave the hosts the lead before the break only for Andrea Belotti to equalise.
Bacca scored with a low strike and completed his treble with a penalty.
Daniele Baselli's late goal made it 3-2 before home keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved Belotti's injury-time penalty after Gabriel Paletta was sent off.

The 32-year-old utility player has signed a contract until the summer of 2018.
The Bluebirds have also completed a deal to sign striker Ibrahim Meite, 20, from non-league Harrow Borough.
However, forward Lex Immers will leave Cardiff after it was mutually agreed to terminate his contract seven months after he joined them permanently.
Immers joins Kieran Richardson and Marouane Chamakh in leaving Cardiff City Stadium.
The Dutchman has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Belgian side Club Brugge with the option of an extra year.
Cardiff's Tom Adeyemi will remain at Rotherham for the remainder of the season as part of the Halford deal.
Boss Neil Warnock managed Halford during his spell in charge of Rotherham last season.
"Greg is a really good utility player - he played five or six positions for me last year," Warnock told BBC Wales Sport.
"I felt he gives us so many options really. Wherever he plays he is super and I know he can play here, there and everywhere.
"I felt against Brentford we were short with having to put a midfield player in defence and I thought 'that isn't going to happen again'."
Warnock described Meite, the non-league striker who had a loan spell with Leicester City earlier this season, as an "exciting prospect" and said he had signed him on a "hunch".
Immers' departure, meanwhile, is an agreement Warnock says "suited all parties".
"He has not really been in my plans since I have been here, and he has a lot on his plate as he is having a little baby," he added.
"He was one of our higher earners and I am trying to thin it down and make the squad more sustainable.
"I can take my time now, looking at the situation with the rest of the squad."

The Highlands, Argyll and Bute and North Ayrshire have small isles that could potentially have a councillor.
The question forms part of wider government consultation on which additional powers should be given to Scotland's three island authorities.
These are Shetland, Orkney and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
Islands Minister Derek Mackay said: "This is the next stage of a conversation with our island communities, councils and wider stakeholders about what a future bill may look like - and who better to inform these decisions than the very people who live, work and study there.
"Life on our islands can be very different to living on the mainland and I am keen to ensure that people who live there have their views properly represented at a local and national level."
Using the latest technology, it promises to "transport viewers into the heart" of the regenerated area.
A 3D model of the scheme will also provide views of the project which have never been seen before.
Dumfries provost Ted Thompson said the technology could "really bring the designs to life".
Flood protection in the area has been a controversial issue for many years.
Thousands of people signed a petition against plans for an embankment in the area, prompting a review of the multi-million pound project.
The local authority now believes it has found a compromise that addresses long-standing flood problems while preserving views of the River Nith and maintaining car parking space numbers.
The latest plans claim to see the height of the defences reduced while still maintaining the same levels of protection.
"This is an exciting time for the project as we are able to show the public our plans for the Whitesands in ways that have not been seen previously," said Mr Thompson.
"We are pioneering the use of technology because it's important that people see for themselves what the Whitesands will look like."
He said it would be transformed into somewhere people would want to spend time, businesses would want to invest and locals could be proud of.
"The exhibition gives the public a chance to find details on the project for themselves and debunk any myths about the scheme," he said.
"I hope people will come along and speak to those working on the project design first hand and see for themselves what the regenerated Whitesands is going to look like."
An exhibition of the plans will be held at St George's Hall in the town from Thursday 3 November to Saturday 5 November.
Moussa Dembele's injury-time penalty sealed a 2-1 win on the night for the Scottish champions and a 3-2 aggregate victory over the Kazakh side.
That put them into Friday's play-off round draw - one tie away from the group stages - after a nervy evening.
"The fans were unbelievable for us, but I think they need to show a little bit of patience as well," Rodgers said.
"I'm a Celtic supporter. I know what they want, I know how desperate they want it. But instead of having that edginess, trust the players and how we work and eventually we can get there."
Neil Lennon, meanwhile, who experienced many tense nights in European competition as a Celtic player and manager, says it is natural that the fans were on edge.
"They're like an extra man. They raise your game to another level," said the Hibernian manager.
"Celtic's home record in Europe at home over the years has been very strong because of the backing they get.
"There are times they do get a bit anxious. It is understandable sometimes because they are very tense occasions."
Celtic will face one of Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgaria), Copenhagen (Denmark), Hapoel Be'er Sheva (Israel) or Dundalk (Republic of Ireland) with a place among Europe's elite at stake.
Should they lose that tie, they are guaranteed a place in the group stage of the Europa League.
Rodgers says he has no preference, but hopes to have the second leg at home again after overcoming Lincoln Red Imps and Astana after travelling for the first leg.
"That's a real benefit for us," he said. "We'll just take whoever comes in the next game.
"It's the final step [before the group stage]. There was always going to be three tough rounds."
Dembele's goal was his first for Celtic since signing from Fulham.
It came after the 20-year-old's driving run earned a spot-kick and led to the dismissal of both Igor Shitov, for making the foul, and Dmitri Shomko for protesting.
Earlier, Leigh Griffiths netted another penalty in first-half stoppage time, only for Agim Ibraimi to level the tie on aggregate midway through the second half.
"Both penalty takers showed wonderful composure in a pressure game," Rodgers said. "But Moussa especially for a boy who has just turned 20.
"He has been playing catch-up in his fitness, but he's got quality and that's why he was coveted by so many teams."
Nicole Sapstead said some athletes went to "extraordinary lengths" to avoid detection, including hiring scientists to tell them what to take when.
The MPs were also told the anti-doping authorities suffered from a lack of resources.
It comes after the Sunday Times obtained thousands of leaked blood test results.
Ms Sapstead, the chief executive of UK Anti-Doping (Ukad), told MPs scientists were telling doping athletes how long to delay when drug testers knock on their door.
"There are drugs out there which are constantly being modified to avoid detection and that's the problem that organisations such as ours have," she said.
"The science is behind the sophisticated cheater."
The Sunday Times published data from 5,000 athletes, which it had reviewed by scientists and said revealed an "extraordinary extent of cheating". But the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) called the allegations "sensationalist and confusing" denying it had failed in its duty to carry out effective blood testing.
Ms Sapstead said Ukad could ask for data on UK athletes going back to 2005 - the longest time span it is legally allowed to request.
"If there are UK nationals there is no reason why an international federation would not share that with us," she said, adding that other countries were believed to have approached the IAAF for data on their athletes.
Asked which sports were "cleanest", she listed squash, badminton and table tennis, and also said she had seen no evidence of under 16s doping in the UK.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee was holding the first of two sessions looking at blood doping, which involves replacing an athlete's blood to enhance their performance.
Earlier Dr Michael Ashenden, one of the doping experts used by the Sunday Times to assess the leaked data, said the IAAF had "lost the trust of the public" and that cycling's world governing body had been quicker to react to the issue.
The IAAF was "simply overwhelmed" by the scale of the problem, he added.
Ms Sapstead said there was no reason to believe Mr Ashenden was "anything other than very credible".
The Sunday Times' coverage was described by Britain's Lord Coe, who has since been elected as IAAF president, as "a declaration of war" against athletics.
Asked about this, Ukad chairman David Kenworthy told the MPs: "When I read that my thought was 'is this a man who is about to stand for election'?"
The company sold 10.15 million cars overall in 2015, slightly beating expectations.
Germany's Volkswagen came second with 9.93 million vehicles sold, followed in third by General Motors from the US with 9.8 million.
Volkswagen had been top in the first half of 2015 before a diesel emissions scandal set back sales.
Business in a number of major markets such as the US and Japan, as well as in emerging markets, has slowed due to the global economic slowdown.
In 2014, Toyota claimed the top spot with 10.23 million cars sold.
The company is best known for its Prius hybrid, Camry and Corolla sedan models and the Lexus luxury brand.
Toyota also announced it was considering buying out the rest of fellow car maker Daihatsu, of which it already owns 51.2%.
Shares in Daihatsu jumped 16.4% on the Tokyo stock exchange on the news.
Toyota shares rose by 3.8%, also boosted by media reports suggesting there was to be a cooperation deal with Suzuki.
Both carmakers denied the rumours, but Suzuki also saw its shares jump by 11.4%.
The boys from Sudan emerged from their hiding place when the vehicle, hired by The Cowplain School, returned to Waterlooville, Hampshire on 28 May.
Headteacher Ian Gates said they were "dazed and dehydrated" and Year 9 and 10 pupils gave them food and drinks.
Hampshire Constabulary has referred the boys to social services.
Mr Gates said: "These were desperate people who needed help.
"The journey back was about 11 hours, so the two of them were very dazed and dehydrated, having spent a long time next to the coach's engine.
"The children wanted to make sure they were fine and gave them food and water before police arrived."
Police would not reveal the ages of the boys but said both were under the age of 18.
The process is expected to take at least a week as officials tally the paper ballots by hand.
The election was delayed for more than a year after the results of the October 2015 vote were thrown out following allegations of widespread fraud.
After President Michel Martelly's mandate expired in February, Jocelerme Privert was named interim leader.
The Caribbean nation was choosing a new president and lawmakers.
The presidential election will probably go to a second round on 29 January as none of the 27 candidates is expected to gain the 50% of the votes necessary to win outright in the first round.
Exit polls suggested Jovenel Moise, 47, had an early lead, although the supporters of Maryse Narcisse said their candidate was ahead.
Mr Moise enjoys the backing of former President Martelly and belongs to his Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party).
A banana exporter, Mr Moise won the first round of presidential election held in October 2015 but following allegations of fraud, those elections were annulled.
Ms Narcisse, a doctor, has the backing of Haiti's first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and is one of two women running for the top office.
Whoever wins the election will face the challenge of reconstructing a country which has been ravaged by natural disasters.
The most recent, Hurricane Matthew, destroyed 90% of some of Haiti's southern areas.
One voter in that region told Reuters news agency that what people there needed was "aid after the hurricane, because everything was lost".
An appeal for donations by the UN has so far failed to raise even half the sum it set out to reach.
$2bn
Estimated loss caused by Hurricane Matthew
$120m Sum UN wants to raise
$45.6m Pledged so far
$23m Sum pledged by US
Voter turnout in the areas worst hit by Matthew last month was low, according to reports.
But the president of the electoral council, Leopold Berlanger, said he was satisfied overall with how voting had progressed.
In the capital, Port-au-Prince, voters queued from early in the morning to to cast their ballots.
"This is my responsibility as a citizen," Alain Joseph, a motorcycle taxi driver in the city, told the Associated Press news agency.
Some hours after voting ended, a fire broke out at a market in a suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The cause of the blaze is still unknown.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said "tens of millions" was needed to ensure London was prepared in case of a similar incident to the Paris attacks.
The national counter-terror budget currently stands at £564m, with an additional £130m set to be distributed.
The Home Office said allocation of the £130m was yet to be finalised but all agencies would be provided for.
During the London Assembly's Police and Crime Committee meeting at City Hall, Sir Bernard said the increasing use of online networks was taking up more resources than ever in the fight against terrorism.
The Deputy Mayor for Policing, Stephen Greenhalgh, also raised concerns that the Metropolitan Police was only expected to benefit from £9.4m of the £130m extra funding.
He told City Hall: "They [Scotland Yard] do the surveillance work...and a lot of undercover policing takes place in our capital city.
"So we think it's important that counter-terrorist policing gets its fair share of that additional money and £20m is a good round number."
The Home Office said it would make sure the police and other agencies had the resources they needed to respond to changing threats.
But London Assembly Labour Group member Joanne McCartney said: "It's vitally important that the Met have the resources they need to fund counter-terrorism efforts including more firearms officers.
"Stephen Greenhalgh has said we need an extra £20m from Government. Tough talk alone from the Home Office won't cut it; we need them to put their money where their mouth is."
The e-borders scheme, launched in 2003, has been dogged by problems and in 2014 was "terminated" in its current form.
The Public Accounts Committee accused officials of complacency and said delays in implementing its successor risked undermining Britain's security.
The Home Office has so far not responded to the MPs' report.
The e-borders scheme is designed to enhance checks on people entering the country by air, rail and sea by gathering and processing data on passengers before they reach the border.
The cross-party committee said the new system was not expected to be in place until "at least" eight years later than planned and cost "significantly more than expected".
It found that repeated warnings about the original e-borders scheme and its successor had not been taken seriously, saying officials had been "worryingly dismissive".
"It is difficult to understand where this confidence comes from, given the lengthy delays and continual warnings of ongoing management issues, which gives us cause for concern about the future prospects for this programme which is vital to national security," its report said.
What are e-borders?
Seven warnings about the programme had been issued by the Major Projects Authority since 2010 and in 2015 the National Audit Office said checks remained "highly manual and inefficient" and the IT systems were outdated.
The report found that only 86% of those coming to Britain have their data checked ahead of travel, despite a pledge to carry this out on 95% of travellers by December 2010.
Committee chairwoman Meg Hillier said: "If the Home Office is to complete this project before the decade is out, then it must get its house in order now - starting by setting out exactly what it expects to achieve this year, and who will be held to account for it."
Volkswagen could be forced to pay more than $4bn unless it gets regulatory clearance for the plan, which covers three-litre diesel engines.
The company, which has already agreed a deal covering 475,000 two-litre cars, will receive a final ruling in May.
The court also gave preliminary backing to a separate deal involving Bosch.
The German car parts supplier to Volkswagen had proposed a settlement of $327.5m to US diesel VW owners.
"This settlement marks an important milestone in Volkswagen's efforts to make things right in the United States," said Robert Giuffra, an attorney representing VW.
US District Judge Charles Breyer, in San Francisco, is due to hold a hearing on 11 May on whether to grant final approval for the VW and Bosch deals.
VW has now agreed to spend up to $25bn in the US to settle claims from car owners, environmental regulators, US states and dealers.
The US has also charged seven current and former VW executives with wrongdoing.
VW previously agreed to spend up to $10.03bn to buy back up to 475,000 polluting two-litre vehicles that are fitted with software that allowed them to evade emissions rules during testing.
The Federal Trade Commission said said earlier this month that US customers who bought the three-litre diesel cars would be fully compensated "through a combination of repairs, additional monetary compensation, and buybacks for certain models".
Owners of 2009 to 2012 models could get between $26,000 to $58,000 for a buyback, depending on the model, mileage, and trim of the car, the FTC said.
The trial allows people who have signed up for a special card to use Portslade and Woodingdean libraries.
A phone line to a security company will be available in case of emergency and library staff can be contacted via a dedicated helpline.
Brighton and Hove City Council said staffing will not be reduced.
The libraries are normally closed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Alan Robins, deputy chairman of the council's culture committee, said if the pilot was successful it could be rolled out across the city.
"It's monitored by CCTV. If you go in using your card people are watching you.
"You couldn't just walk out with a load of computer equipment."
Our Little Sister tested positive for nandrolone after finishing last in a race at Wolverhampton on 14 January, which had prize money of £2,500.
Morrison, who could lose his licence, said he is "totally innocent" and has no idea how the drug was administered.
"For me to do it would be professional suicide," he told BBC Sport.
The 56-year-old, who has had 780 winners in a 20-year career, was charged by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) on Thursday with breaching rules and is appealing for help from the public.
He believes there has been a malicious attempt to sabotage British racing or his training operation in East Ilsley, Berkshire, and has informed Thames Valley Police.
The force said it had been contacted by Morrison's lawyer, but said it was a matter for the BHA.
A BHA spokesman said the case would be considered by a disciplinary panel and anyone with information could contact its confidential helpline on 0800 085 2580 or visit the RaceStraight website.
Morrison says whoever injected the filly must have had a thorough knowledge of racing and the implications of a positive test.
He said the horse had been left unattended for a significant time at Southwell races on 2 January after an injury to another of the stable's runners.
"The onus is on me to prove my innocence. I wouldn't be offering such a generous reward if I didn't think there was something out there," he added.
BHA rules of strict liability for prohibited substances mean he faces a ban from training of between one and 10 years if found guilty.
The BHA introduced a zero-tolerance policy on anabolic steroids after the case of Godolphin trainer Mahmood al-Zarooni.
Zarooni was banned for eight years in 2013 after admitting giving an anabolic steroid, stanozolol, to 15 horses.
Morrison has been a vocal critic in the past of people using performance-enhancing substances.
"I'm so violently against steroids. Why would I give anything which would destroy me career overnight?" said the trainer who has won six races at Royal Ascot and three Group One contests.
"I have so much to lose and nothing to gain. This was a very moderate horse which gave my young staff experience in races.
"I just want to find the truth and tell the truth. We have a few questions which remain unanswered from the BHA."
Our Little Sister raced once more, when down the field at Southwell on 26 January and has since been retired.
Morrison said his yard was raided at dawn by the BHA on 3 February, when blood samples taken from all 77 horses, including Our Little Sister, returned negative results.
Morrison said he had hired a leading American toxicologist in an effort to uncover what has happened.
"People have been incredibly sympathetic but we have been through hell over the past three months. It's been a pretty traumatic time," he said.
"No-one likes to be accused of something one hasn't done. It's rather debilitating when you are totally innocent."
Morrison fears for the future of his yard, which employs 25 full-time staff.
He revealed news of the positive test in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
"Our Little Sister was a horse of limited ability, in a race with hardly any prize money, and there was no unusual betting on it," said the trainer.
"Racing is my life. My reputation is everything. I might annoy a few people, but everyone knows my integrity is 100%. I would never, ever do anything to besmirch the good name of the sport," he told the newspaper.
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
I don't think Morrison would argue with the analysis that he's not everyone's cup of tea. The word "outspoken" could practically have been invented for him, as all kinds of racing participants - including racecourse officials - will testify.
However, no one disputes his abilities as a trainer. Success at the top end of the scale has come with horses such as Pastoral Pursuits and Sakhee's Secret, both of whom won the Group One July Cup.
But he's also gained a reputation for being an astute 'placer' of horses, - not sending one to, say, Ascot if a lowly handicap at a less fashionable outpost might provide a better winning opportunity.
As the Old Etonian brother of a Lord, Morrison fits racing's establishment stereotype neatly but, unlike some similar trainers, he cut his teeth in commerce, running a lighting business in Manchester.
The Irish government amended the law in January, cutting the duration of bankruptcy from three years to one.
Prior to 2013, the Republic of Ireland had an even more onerous regime, in which bankruptcy lasted for 12 years.
The system has been extensively reformed in the last few years, in order to reduce delays and costs.
The changes came in response to some of the problems thrown up by the Irish banking crisis and property crash.
Many people were saddled with huge debts and mortgages they could not pay.
Because of the tough 12-year regime, several Irish people, including some high-profile property developers, opted to declare themselves bankrupt in the UK, where they could be released from the restrictions in 12 months.
The process was referred to as "bankruptcy tourism" and led to calls for reform.
On Friday, 793 people who were made bankrupt on or prior to 29 July 2015 were released from the process, according to the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI).
The government-backed organisation was set up in 2013 to help tackle personal debt problems.
Its director, Lorcan O'Connor, said: "As of today, almost 800 former bankrupts can have a fresh start without the burden of unsustainable debt."
He also welcomed a new state-funded scheme that enables borrowers with mortgage arrears to access advice from a personal insolvency practitioner.
The ISI said the aim of the scheme is to "find a sustainable solution that keeps a person in their home, where possible".
Mr O'Connor said it "should ensure that anyone in difficulty can now get the help they need".
The new alert level rates the risk of an attack on the UK "highly likely", although Mrs May said there was no evidence to suggest one was "imminent".
It is the second highest of five possible UK threat levels.
David Cameron promised new legislation would make it easier to take passports from those travelling abroad to fight.
The home secretary already has the power, under the Royal Prerogative, to withhold a passport if it is in the public interest to stop somebody travelling.
That power has been used 23 times between since April 2013 to stop people travelling abroad for alleged terrorist-related or criminal activity.
In a Downing Street press conference on Friday, the prime minister said Islamic State (IS) extremists - who are attempting to establish a "caliphate", or Islamic state - represented a "greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before".
He said that "learning lessons from the past doesn't mean there isn't a place for our military" in combating the threat, but did not commit to any military action.
He added the "threat is growing" from Britons travelling to fight with IS, saying at least 500 people had travelled from the UK "to fight in Syria and potentially Iraq".
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, the Association of Chief Police Officers' lead for counter-terrorism, said security and protection measures were being increased following the raised threat level.
And efforts are continuing to identify a suspected British jihadist who appeared in IS footage of the killing of US journalist James Foley.
Analysis by Dominic Casciani, BBC home affairs correspondent
The raised threat level may not lead to visible signs of change on the streets - but it is a sign of the increased concern and security activity behind the scenes involving all of the UK's intelligence and security bodies.
The last time the level was this high was between January 2010 and the summer of 2011. This may have been linked to attempts by an al-Qaeda affiliate to smuggle bombs on to planes heading out of the Middle East.
The highest level is "critical"- meaning an attack is expected imminently. Officials have twice put the country on such an alert - in 2006 after the discovery of liquid bombs aimed at airliners and then the following year when extremists attempted to bomb Glasgow Airport (pictured) and London's West End.
In other words - if security chiefs had knowledge of a clear threat they could not contain, the level would already be one notch higher.
Mr Cameron said the murder of Mr Foley was "clear evidence - not that any more was needed - that this is not some far-off [problem], thousands of miles away, that we can ignore".
He did not give extensive details on what the changed threat level would mean, stressing people "should continue to go about our lives in the normal way".
Mr Cameron said other measures to tackle the threat included:
More steps to deal with the threat would be announced on Monday, Mr Cameron said, which would include details on how to stop would-be terrorists travelling abroad.
He said there were "gaps in our armoury" which needed to be strengthened.
Earlier, in a statement, Mrs May said: "The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West.
"Some of those plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts.
"The first and most important duty of government is the protection of the British people."
Mrs May said decisions about the threat level were made by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC).
She added: "JTAC's judgements about that threat level are made on the basis of the very latest intelligence and are independent of ministers."
AC Rowley said: "From this afternoon we will begin to increase our levels of visible patrols and implement other security and protection measures.
"We will also build on existing community relations to provide reassurance and seek their support and assistance in keeping the UK safe."
He urged communities and families to report anyone who is "vulnerable, a danger or escalating towards terrorism" by calling the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.
Baroness Neville-Jones, a former chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, said the higher threat level was "justified", adding it was "not something you do for the sake of it".
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the government's decision to remove control orders - to restrict the movements of terror suspects - should be reconsidered, adding there should be "proper powers in place when there is an extreme threat".
She said the government needed to support communities, and families in particular, and that more could be done through its anti-terrorism Prevent scheme.
The terror threat level was made public in 2006.
The level last changed in July 2011 when it was reduced to "substantial".
The threat level in the US has not changed. US secretary for homeland security Jeh Johnson said he had spoken to Mrs May about changes to the UK threat level but that he was not aware of any "specific, credible" threat to the US.
What is the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre?
The line between Tonbridge and Hastings is being closed after 21:00 GMT on Monday and Tuesday to allow worn out components to be replaced.
It is understood the work will take several months to complete.
Greg Clark, MP for Tunbridge Wells, said the work had been poorly publicised, however, Network Rail said there was "no good time" to do it.
Mr Clark said: "To do this just before Christmas without consultation is completely wrong.
"It will be a terrible shock to many of my constituents travelling home after a long and busy day."
Network Rail's route managing director for the south east, Alasdair Coates, said: "There is no good time to do this work and it is almost impossible to do so without impacting on passengers.
"However, I'm confident that this will plan keep the railway open as long as possible, while also improving journeys for everybody."
A rail replacement bus service will run instead of trains while the line is closed.
The St John's hospital ward in Livingston has only opened between 08:00 and 20:00 during weekdays and closed at weekends since 9 July.
It assessed patients on weekdays but transferred children to Edinburgh if they needed to be admitted.
First Minister Alex Salmond and West Lothian Council criticised the temporary move at the time.
Additional staff have now been recruited to support the team at the hospital in the future.
Three new consultant neonatologists and two consultant paediatricians will take up post in the next few weeks.
Trainee doctors will also return to the children's ward, with two due to start in August.
Dr David Farquharson, NHS Lothian's medical director, said: "The medical and nursing staff at St John's made Herculean efforts in order to maintain children's and maternity services.
"Despite this, for the three weeks in July, we were unable to ensure that adequate back-up was in place if there was an unplanned absence.
"The alternative, of crossing fingers and hoping for the best, was not good enough.
"I am delighted to say now the department is stronger than ever and we are back to full strength to provide the high quality of care associated with St John's Hospital."
The Irishman deputised for suspended Mark Oxley in Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Dundee United.
Making his first appearance for 16 months, Logan kept a clean sheet and stopped two penalties in a shootout.
But manager Alan Stubbs confirmed that Oxley will return at Easter Road, saying: "Ox is my number one."
Logan, 30 on Monday, thwarted United in three one-on-one situations and made a smart save from a John Rankin shot in a game short on thrills.
He saved his best for the shootout, stopping efforts from Blair Spittal and Billy McKay as Hibs went through 4-2 on penalties.
"Conrad has come in and done magnificently and was rightly named man-of-the-match," Stubbs told BBC Scotland.
"He's done himself no harm whatsoever, pushing for a place. Every manager wants competition for places and he has raised the bar.
"We're delighted to have him. He's been great since he's come here and he needs to keep putting Mark under pressure."
Wednesday's match at Easter Road is a rehearsal for the Scottish Cup final on 21 May.
While Rangers have already wrapped up the Championship title, Hibs are in need of points as they bid to overhaul Falkirk - who are six points ahead, having played two games more - in second place.
"It's three huge points for us," said Stubbs. "It's a game that we must be looking to win.
"But I don't think there will be much relevance in terms of the cup final. Will the winners have an edge in the final? I don't see that one."
Rangers have had the best of the head-to-heads this season, with three victories, while Hibs won 2-1 at Easter Road in November.
Should Hibs finish behind Falkirk and then progress to the play-off final, it would mean a gruelling schedule of 11 games in 36 days for a side that looked exhausted during extra-time against Dundee United.
"When you have a goal that you've worked towards all season and a cup final, as a player, it doesn't get any better," said Stubbs.
"And then they can go away after being successful, if that's the case, and have a long rest. I'll give them extra time off in the summer.
"Yes, it's a lot of games but success is the thing everyone strives for in football and, when you've got something so close, tiredness isn't an issue."

Benn, 53, and Collins, 52, were once among the biggest names in the super-middleweight division.
Dublin-born Collins has twice beaten Londoner Benn, who retired after their second fight in 1996.
Details of the third fight are yet to be agreed but Benn expects it to take place in October or November.
Benn, nicknamed 'The Dark Destroyer', held the WBO middleweight title and the WBC super-middleweight belt before retiring as a fighter following his second defeat by Collins at the Manchester Arena in November 1996.
First fight - 6 July 1996, Manchester
Collins ended Chris Eubank's unbeaten record to win the WBO super-middleweight title in 1995, and successfully defended the title seven times, include twice against Benn.
Benn came into the first fight in July 1996 having lost his WBC World super middleweight title to Thulani Malinga.
Collins stopped his opponent in the fourth round, with Benn suffering an ankle injury, but the pair then had a rematch just four months later.
Second fight - 9 November 1996, Manchester
Benn went into the rematch seeking revenge, but Collins was relentless in his attacking strategy.
The Englishman battled through to the end of round six before retiring in his corner. Collins had two more fights, retaining his WBO title, retiring in July 1997.
Benn, whose son Conor made his professional debut in April 2016, has talked up the possibility of a return to the ring before.
An attempt to organise a rematch with old rival Eubank came to nothing, but both Benn and Collins have indicated that they are ready to fight each other again.
If the British Boxing Board of Control refuses to sanction the bout, both fighters have said they would seek a boxing licence from abroad.
"It's about the final chapter," Benn said. "It's about closure.
"I was going backwards and forwards with Chris and I thought: 'I wouldn't have a problem with Steve.' So I asked him if he wants to fight. He said yes. No mucking about."
Collins has not fought in almost 20 years, with an attempt to come out of retirement in 1999 halted when he collapsed during a sparring session.
The Irishman has also talked of fighting again in recent years, saying in a 2013 interview that he wanted to take on Roy Jones Jr.
Collins, whose son Steve Jr has been a professional boxer since 2013, said his motivations for taking on the fight with Benn were financial.
"It's just about money, a payday which will allow me to buy some more land," he said.
"I have no problem with Nigel. I have a lot of respect. I like him."
Since his retirement, Benn has helped train young boxers, and has also made a career as a DJ - while in 2002, he appeared as a contestant in the first series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
He said that he feels in the best shape of his life, comparing himself to Benjamin Button, the F Scott Fitzgerald character who becomes younger in appearance as he gets older.
Benn added that he felt fitter now than he did at his professional peak, a time during which he said he was smoking cannabis and struggling with troubles in his personal life.
"I'm not angry any more and I can have everything I ever want," he said. "I am Nigel 'Benjamin Button' Benn. I feel like I am in my thirties."
Collins, nicknamed 'The Celtic Warrior', has worked as an actor since his last professional fight, appearing in the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
He is confident that he will be cleared medically to fight Benn, despite the collapse that prevented his comeback in the late 1990s.
"I am not fighting a 20-year-old-guy," he said. "I'm fighting someone the same age as me. There's no disadvantage to anybody.
"I get medicals every year and the most impressive part is my MRI. 'Excellent' was how the neurosurgeon described it. I'm very healthy and very fit." | QPR climbed seven points clear of the Championship drop zone as Gianfranco Zola's Birmingham City lost for a ninth time in 14 games since he took charge.

It would use a patient's saliva instead of blood and the test would be as simple and quick as a blood glucose sensor or a pregnancy test.
Current screening for hepatitis A, B and C involves taking blood with results taking up to seven days.
The two-year project is a joint venture between the UK and China with Swansea playing a key role through Swansea University's Centre for NanoHealth.
Hepatitis is a huge global problem with nearly 400 million people worldwide affected, resulting in more than one point four million deaths per year.
The World Health Organisation has reported 257 million people infected with hepatitis B alone.
Swansea-based Biovici is leading the project which has been funded by the UK's Newton Fund and also partnered by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK's National Measurement Institute and University of Chongqing and industry partner CTN.
Paul Morgan, chief executive at Biovici, said: "This collaboration between NPL, Swansea University's Centre for NanoHealth and our partners in China opens a unique opportunity to develop a low-cost, affordable test, which will bring major benefits to the global fight against the spread of this highly infectious disease.
"Many people associate hepatitis as a problem that happens elsewhere and not in their home country.
"However, hepatitis is a global epidemic which is rapidly affecting parts of the UK, throughout Europe and the USA."
The 21-year-old was seriously injured when his Honda CB600 motorbike was involved in a collision with a Renault Clio and a Metrocab in Lambhill on Thursday.
He died later at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Police have appealed for information from witnesses to the crash, which happened on Balmore Road, near Skirsa Street, at 17:20 on Thursdsay.
PC Adnan Alam said: "I am keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash, or may have seen the motorcyclist driving in the area before the crash took place.
"Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Shkendija for use of laser pointer - Article 16 (2) of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations," a statement said.
"This case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control Ethics and Disciplinary body on it's next meeting on 23 July."
Aberdeen drew the first leg match 1-1.
The Dons said a Uefa delegate at the National Stadium in Skopje was informed of the incident after the game.
Hristijan Kirovski's goal for Shkendija cancelled out Niall McGinn's opener.
Aberdeen had pitched goalkeeper Ward, on loan from Liverpool, straight into European action.
Rent Smart Wales - aimed at raising standards of rented accommodation - contacted people who had started but not finished the registration process.
But the email addresses of recipients could be seen in the message.
Cardiff council, which handles Rent Smart Wales, said it is aware of an issue and it is being investigated.
Since November all landlords who rent out a property need to register with Rent Smart Wales by law.
The initiative was set up the Welsh Government to help tackle bad landlords who give the private rented sector a bad name.
It estimates there are 208,000 privately-rented properties in Wales, but only 65% had been registered by last November's deadline.
The email sent out told landlords: "We are writing this email to you as you have a started but not complete (sic) landlord registration with Rent Smart Wales."
Douglas Haig, director for Wales for the Residential Landlords Association, said: "We have long been warning of the need for greater security around the Rent Smart scheme to prevent this kind of error occurring.
"With landlords and letting agents expected to register by law, they need to have the confidence that their personal details will be handled sensitively.
"Whilst we are sure this was an innocent mistake and a simple case of human error, we would like to see measures put in place to ensure it cannot happen again."
A Rent Smart Wales spokesman at Cardiff council said: "Rent Smart Wales is aware that an issue arose on February 2, 2017 in relation to contacting customers.
"Rent Smart Wales and the City of Cardiff Council take data protection seriously. The matter is currently being investigated in line with the council's data protection policies."
The charity said demand for breeds including French bulldogs, shih-tzus, Yorkshire terriers and pugs had soared over the last decade.
In a report called "Sold a Pup?" it estimates that 430,000 young dogs come from unlicensed UK breeders each year.
It said this resulted in welfare problems for the animals, and distress and dissatisfaction for owners.
The RSPCA is calling for measures including the licensing of all sellers, better enforcement and new import rules, geared towards "driving out unregulated dealers".
The government says people breeding and selling dogs must have a licence, but the Kennel Club says "problems with enforcement" have meant poor breeding practices at puppy farms have not been stopped.
David Bowles, the RSPCA's assistant director of public affairs, said it was unclear whether demand for certain breeds could be met by existing registered UK breeders and other reputable suppliers.
"What is clear is that the puppy dealers are one step ahead of the regulators and have already responded to these changing demands and are sourcing these breeds from overseas or large-scale commercial puppy farms," he said.
The largely unregulated market resulted in "welfare problems with puppies and the breeding stock, dissatisfied, often distressed, consumers, and a hidden economy," he added.
"The growing demand for puppies does not seem to be satisfied by the existing small-scale breeder, and appears to have resulted in unregulated large-scale commercial breeding of puppies and imports of puppies from Ireland and continental Europe."
The report says thousands of dogs come into the UK every year from countries including Ireland, Lithuania, Poland and Hungary.
Dogs are then held in pods, advertised on the internet and - once a buyer is found - taken to a fake home to make it appear the animal was bred in that environment, the report says.
Long delays were experienced by revellers leaving the Perthshire site on each night of the event, which was attended than 80,000 music fans.
Organisers said "challenging ground conditions" had been compounded by "people not following directions", causing tailbacks on local roads.
However, they said the event had had a "great first year" at Strathallan.
There were 54 arrests during the four days the festival's campsites were open, on a par with figures from the previous year, and a 36-year-old man was found dead in the toilets on Saturday.
The suitability of the local road network for the high volume of festival traffic was one of the issues raised during a planning battle over the choice of Strathallan following the event's move across Perthshire from Balado.
After lengthy delays which saw some fans unable to leave the site until 02:00 on the first night of the festival on Friday, bosses apologised and said they would "review the situation".
Event manager Colin Rodger said approximately 500 people had attempted to walk three miles back to an unofficial campsite "in an unsuitable location", restricting access to pick-up points.
After a second night of long queues and delays on Saturday, festival director Geoff Ellis said his team were "working hard" to rectify delays.
Wet conditions left many vehicles needing to be towed from one car park, and Mr Ellis said the current team "don't have the benefit of 18 years of infrastructure that we did at Balado". He also hit out at a "high volume of people" attempting to walk from the site, causing tailbacks.
A further statement was released on Monday as queues again formed, reading: "Due to challenging ground conditions, there have been a number of vehicles in ditches this morning and this compounded with people not following directions and going to the wrong exists which has resulted in these delays."
Scottish Conservative MSP Liz Smith said it was "not unexpected" that there had been delays on the "narrow country roads".
She said: "It is very clear that a large number of people who attended the event were very frustrated by what they encountered when they were trying to enter and leave. This led to significant numbers of people walking along dangerous roads.
"There has to be a major review of what happened this year."
Mr Ellis admitted the event had "not been perfect", but said it had been a "great first year" overall.
He said: "We know traffic queues have left some people frustrated and we apologise for this, because obviously we want the experience to be positive for everyone from start to finish.
"We'll take learnings from this year and will work on improving the times for the future.
"Overall it's been a great first year at Strathallan - the bands were brilliant, the site looked wonderful and we know that the majority of people have had a fantastic time."
Another concern raised in advance of the festival was for the well-being of a pair of ospreys nesting near the site, but RSPB Scotland said the event had gone off without disturbing the protected birds.
A spokesman said the birds had been "closely monitored", and that they had stayed in place behaving normally throughout.
Supt Colin Brown of Police Scotland thanked festival-goers for "behaving responsibly", saying that while some of the 54 arrests had been for "more serious offences", the majority of them had been detected or had positive lines of inquiry.
More than 200 acts played across the weekend, with headline performers including The Libertines, Avicii, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Kasabian well received by the crowds.
DF Concerts won permission to host the festival at Strathallan for three years, to give time for the local authority to study the event's impact before deciding on its long-term future.
Barry Gibb joined the band for two Bee Gee covers: To Love Somebody and what Chris Martin called "the greatest song of all time", Stayin' Alive.
Gibb was meant to play Glastonbury's "legend" slot this year, but pulled out when a family member fell ill.
The Bee Gee tribute came towards the end of a multicoloured, carnivalesque set that defied the pouring rain.
Bathed in colour, the band took the stage at 21:30, launching into A Head Full Of Dreams, accompanied by fireworks and rainbow glitter cannons.
"This is our favourite place in the world!" declared Chris Martin as he played the opening chords to Yellow.
The band now hold the record for headlining Glastonbury, having topped the bill on four occasions - 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.
They worked hard to make Sunday's set an inclusive, celebratory end to the festival - Martin dedicated the show to the fans who had been "through the rain, and the mud, and the carnage" of the festival; and later invited organiser Michael Eavis on stage for a wobbly rendition of My Way (in the key of D).
Every song sounded like an encore - from the pounding beats of Clocks, to the anthemic Fix You.
And the band gave the entire audience the sense they were participants in a Glastonbury headline set by distributing 100,000 multi-coloured LED wristbands, which pulsed in time to the music, lighting up Worthy Farm as far as the eye could see.
Coldplay even found time for a cover of Boys That Sing by Viola Beach - an up-and-coming band who tragically died in a car accident earlier this year.
"We decided to create Viola Beach's alternate reality and let them headline Glastonbury for a song," said Martin, to a huge round of applause.
Footage of the young band playing the song was shown on video screens during the performance, in what was a risky, but poignant, moment.
Manchester indie band Blossoms, who were friends with Viola Beach, told the BBC they appreciated the gesture.
"I think it's important that a big band does something like that at such a big festival," said singer Tom Ogen, "because you want their music to live on and be remembered fondly."
Immediately prior to Coldplay's appearance, the band played Charlie Chaplin's speech from The Great Dictator - a 1940 political satire denouncing Hitler, Mussolini, fascism and anti-Semitism.
"The Kingdom of God is within man - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure."
Martin had previously said the show may address last week's Leave vote.
After the second song of the night, Yellow, he said: "We came here a little bit scared about the state of the world, but just seeing the vibe at Glastonbury makes me think people are great and together we can do wonderful, wonderful things.
"Thank you for restoring my faith in the world."
Earlier on The Other Stage, PJ Harvey opened her set in a similar way, reciting John Donne's Meditation XVII, which begins: "No man is an island."
She joined the likes of Damon Albarn, The 1975, Novelist and Paul Heaton in protesting at the decision over the weekend
Coldplay were preceded on the Pyramid Stage by US star Beck, who played an eclectic, career-spanning set that also wove in tributes to David Bowie (China Girl) and Prince (1999).
Like many of today's acts, he had to battle against the elements - as exhausted, mud-soaked revellers suffered yet more rain.
"It's a little bit miserable out right now, isn't it?" he asked at one point. "Thank you for making the most of it, though."
Ellie Goulding, Laura Mvula and Gregory Porter also played the main stage, while Jeff Lynne's ELO took the coveted "legends slot" - following in the footsteps of Dolly Parton and Lionel Richie.
His set soundtracked one of the festival's more surreal moments - as a fan crowdsurfed from inside a dinghy.
LCD Soundsystem gave clubbers the chance for one last dance in the mud in a headline set at the Other Stage, while funk legends Earth, Wind & Fire attracted a family crowd to the West Holts stage.
Meanwhile, revellers leaving Glastonbury have been told they may need to be towed out of the festival's car parks, after a week of wet weather turned the car parks into quagmires.
Advice published on the official website states: "There are likely to be some delays leaving the site. Go to the toilet before you set off. Have drinks, snacks and any essential medication with you.
"And if your vehicle has a towing eye, please attach this ready for possible towing."
John Rees-Evans told people gathered at the meeting he was cautioned by a UKIP official for criticising another candidate.
He is one of four people bidding to take the helm of the party.
Mr Rees-Evans said: "I've been asked not to rock the boat. I'm not going to rock the boat. I'm going to let them do what they want to do. They want a nice decorous coronation."
After leaving, he said: "I didn't believe I had anything positive to contribute", adding the party did not want "contention" at the hustings.
"My own view is that the party is in dire straits and needs fundamental reform," he said.
The four candidates for the top UKIP job - ex-deputy leader Paul Nuttall and ex-deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans, Welsh activist Mr Rees-Evans and London assembly member Peter Whittle - were due to debate with each other at the event on Thursday night.
The remaining three continued after Mr Rees-Evans left.
Mr Rees-Evans, who said he would not attend further hustings events but would tour the country instead, claimed he was cautioned by an official after he criticised Ms Evans on a debate on London radio station LBC.
UKIP chairman Paul Oakden said he cautioned all candidates "to make sure this leadership contest was contested in a fair and reasonable manner and not to attack each other personally.
"John clearly has taken that personally. I wouldn't say he stormed out. He decided not to participate any further."
Ms Evans added: "I think it's a shame that he didn't stay to debate us. I think members will draw their own conclusions from his inability to do that."
Christine Hamilton, the wife of UKIP Welsh assembly group leader Neil, said: "He's clearly not a serious candidate for the leadership of UKIP because if he was he would not have just walked away from a public meeting."
Earlier, Mr Nuttall said there was nothing a new leader would be able to do to stop a ballot on whether Nathan Gill should continue to double job.
The party's National Executive Committee decided party members would decide on whether Mr Gill could continue to be an AM and an MEP but the ballot is yet to take place.
Speaking before the meeting, Mr Nuttall said: "It's a decision that has already been taken that it will take place. So there's nothing the leader can do about it, because I suspect by 28 November it will be well under way.
"On one level Nathan could give up one of his roles. Or on the other level the other assembly members make a decision and say it's fine for Nathan to double job until the middle of 2019."
Ms Evans said she would "absolutely prefer a grown up gentlemanly agreement," rather than resorting to a ballot.
The hedgehog, known as Monty, was diagnosed with "balloon syndrome" - a rare condition caused by gas collecting under the skin.
He was treated at Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich after being found in Doncaster.
An inspector said the hedgehog's condition was "the worst" she had ever seen.
See more stories from Stoke and Staffordshire here
Staff at the centre named him "Monty" after the Montgolfier brothers who invented the hot air balloon.
They cared for him for several weeks before releasing him in July where he was found.
Lee Stewart, manager at the centre, said: "It's always great when we're able to successfully rehabilitate an animal and release them back into the wild, that's the whole point of the work we do here."
Due to his condition, Monty had been unable to walk and could not get all four paws on the ground at the same time - which meant he ended up walking round in circles.
RSPCA inspector Sandra Dransfield said: "He was very vulnerable. He couldn't even tuck his head in. It was the worst case of balloon syndrome I've ever seen."
Leaked Source said email addresses, user names and passwords for more than 1.9 million people had been stolen in the attack.
The passwords had been weakly protected by extra security measures, it said, and would be easy to crack.
The hack was revealed just as Dota 2's global tournament, The International, gets under way in Seattle.
More than $20m (£15m) in prize money is up for grabs for Dota 2 teams taking part in the tournament.
Leaked Source said the attack, on 10 July, had only now come to light.
The data taken was protected or scrambled using the MD5 hashing system to which was added a random element - a process known as "salting".
Despite this, Leaked Source said it had been able to convert more than 80% of the hashed and salted records back to readable text.
More than one million of the 1.9 million records in the dumped database were for email accounts at Google's Gmail service, it said.
And a significant proportion seemed to be disposable email addresses simply used to sign up for the forums.
Game-maker Valve has yet to officially comment on reports of the attack and the theft of credentials.
Brendan Caldwell, a reporter at the Rock Paper Shotgun news site, urged forum members to change their passwords, even if they did not use the site much any more.
He also pointed out that the forums for Dota 2 were separate from Valve's larger Steam gaming service.
"So you've only got a problem with your Steam account if you use the same password for both," he said.
Huge crowds gathered for the ceremony, which marked the final farewell for the man who was a prominent presence during decades of turmoil.
King Sihanouk died in Beijing in October at the age of 89. His embalmed body has been lying in state since then to allow people to pay their respects.
Foreign dignitaries from several nations were attending the ceremony.
By Jonathan HeadBBC News, Phnom Penh
Cambodia's awful history has offered few figures of authority who engender respect, let alone affection. So it is perhaps fitting that so much of the population has joined the hushed lines snaking past the gilded sarcophagus of former King Sihanouk, a man whose tortuous career was inextricably entwined with the fate of his country.
Quietly, a few people have let it be known they would have pointed out some of Sihanouk's glaring flaws at another time, but not when there is such a powerful public appetite to think fondly of the "Papa King", as he styled himself. Every public comment I have heard talks of his devotion to the country, and of the many good things he did for Cambodia.
But how good were they? Appointed king by the French colonial authorities at the age of 18 in 1941, Sihanouk proved to be a masterful tactician as he confounded their expectations and drove a successful campaign for Cambodian independence in 1955. He then abdicated from the throne, and went on to become prime minister, and then chief of state. He had unchallenged power for more than a decade.
He used it to push through modernisation projects for his country. But many of these proved impractical, and many more were never properly implemented. He tolerated no opposition and harshly repressed anti-government movements, until being ousted by a coup in 1970. He always believed he was indispensible, and some believe this led to his fateful decision to ally himself with the Khmer Rouge, in the early 1970s and in the 1980s.
He was a complex character of many contradictions. The journalist Philip Short has summed him up thus: "An improbable mixture of rage and self-pity, acid and honey, brutality and sarcasm, passion and wit."
Among them were French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Prince Akishino of Japan, the brother of the crown prince.
Chanting monks led Buddhist prayers for the former king, before an artillery salute sounded out and fireworks were set off.
His widow, Queen Monique, and the son in whose favour he abdicated, King Norodom Sihamoni, then lit the funeral pyre at the 15-storey-high purpose-built crematorium.
Some of the former king's ashes will be scattered at the confluence of three rivers and the remainder stored in an urn in the royal palace.
The huge crowds who had been filing past the cremation site all day were kept away as the pyre was lit, and TV cameras were covered so the moment was private, the Associated Press reports.
Monday's cremation marks the end of several days of commemorations for the former monarch, who died of a heart attack.
On Friday, tens of thousands of people turned out to watch as his golden sarcophagus was paraded through the streets of Phnom Penh to the crematorium.
Since then people from across Cambodia, dressed in mourning colours of white and black, have been lining up to file past his coffin, some holding lotus flowers.
"It's the last day for us all to pay homage to the great hero king and to send him to heaven," King Sihanouk's long-time personal assistant Prince Sisowath Thomico was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
King Sihanouk remained an influential figure in Cambodia until his death, despite abdicating in 2004.
He became king in 1941 while still a teenager, and led Cambodia to independence from France in 1953.
He was a presence through decades of political and social turmoil in Cambodia, despite long periods of exile overseas.
In later life he emerged as a peacemaker who helped bring stability back to his country, after an ill-fated choice to back the Khmer Rouge in its early years.
His record, says the BBC's Jonathan Head, who is in Phnom Penh, is complex and showed many personal flaws.
But none of that was talked about among the crowds paying their last respects - they were simply mourning the loss of a giant personality, who has been one of the few constants in their tragic history.
"I don't have any words to express the sorrow and suffering I feel when knowing his body will soon disappear," Hin Mal, 79, told the Associated Press news agency.
"I love and respect King Sihanouk like my own father."
If approved, Uefa's system of positioning an additional assistant referee behind each goal would remain.
European football's governing body discussed the issue on Friday and said it would make a decision in January.
Goalline technology was introduced in the Premier League for the 2013-14 season, and Fifa used it at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
At a news conference in Paris, Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino said there was a "positive" attitude towards its implementation, despite "logistical challenges".

"This has been on the table for quite some time," he added.
"If it happens for Euro 2016 then it will also happen for the club competitions for next season, the Champions League and Europa League. This will be in addition to the five assistants.
"The final decision will be made in January but the executive committee was pretty positive in its mindset."
Infantino and Jacques Lambert - head of the Euro 2016 organising committee - were also asked about plans around security in light of last month's terror attacks in Paris.
"Since 13 November we have held a number of technical meetings to learn all we can about what happened at the Stade de France and around it," Lambert said.
"We have also been in contact with officials at the Ministry of the Interior, the Paris police force, security and intelligence services. The co-ordination with the state services will intensify over coming days and weeks."
Lambert also said plans to have fan zones in the 10 host cities would remain.
"For them, these are a place where crowds can gather and can see the matches for free on big screens," he said.
"It also helps to have this crowd gathered in one place rather than scattered around the towns."
Uefa also announced an increase in the prize money to be distributed among teams playing at Euro 2016 in France.
The 24 teams will share a total of £217m compared to the £141m at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, which featured only 16 teams.
Each nation will receive at least £5.7m, while three wins in the group stage on the way to victory in the final would net a further £19.5m.
The Tigers led through Oliver Holmes, while Adam Milner, Daryl Clarke and Jonathan Walker scored late on.
But the Giants dominated the remainder of the game, winger Jermaine McGillvary crossing twice for Paul Anderson's men.
Shaun Lunt, Joe Wardle, Aaron Murphy, Luke Robinson and Brett Ferres also touched down for Huddersfield, who replace Wigan at the summit.
But the Warriors will reclaim top spot if they beat Wakefield at the DW Stadium on Sunday.
Ian Millward's Castleford, meanwhile, are now winless in nine Super League games, despite making the perfect start to the match and ending with three tries in the space of four minutes in the closing stages.
Seconds after making a try-saving tackle near his own line, influential half-back Rangi Chase created a first score of the season for back-row Holmes, who burst through a gap to cross under the posts from close range.
Castleford have now gone nine games without a win (D1, L8). Their last victory came against champions Leeds Rhinos in round two
But any hopes of repeating of were soon extinguished by a ruthless Huddersfield outfit.
Hooker Lunt's opportunist effort from dummy half, followed by a run of 80 metres from centre Wardle, saw the Giants take a 12-6 lead.
A flowing move to the left wing sent Murphy over for a third try without reply, and it got worse for the Tigers when Chase was shown a yellow card for dissent.
The visitors used the extra man to their advantage as they worked an overlap for McGillvary to sprint in unchallenged, before a break from Leroy Cudjoe allowed Robinson to extend the advantage.
After a quiet start to the second period, Huddersfield were back amongst the tries and it was no surprise that their skipper played a prominent role.
Danny Brough, who was successful with six of his seven goal attempts, kicked from half-way and McGillvary outpaced Castleford full-back Richard Owen to touch down.
Another smart kick from Brough sent Ferres over in the corner for the Giants' seventh score of the afternoon.
Castleford sparked into life following the departure of Huddersfield's Jamie Cording to the sin bin, with Milner, Clark and Walker all crossing the visitors' line with ease, but it was far too late.
Castleford Tigers head coach Ian Millward:
"We probably made more clean breaks than we have in a lot of games but the composure was lacking and that's what happens when you are on a losing run.
"The players tried hard in the second half but it's not about trying hard. We want to turn that into being a more consistent team.
"I think Nathan Massey has dislocated his knee. It's not a good one for us. He's been a really consistent performer for us.
"And I think Jake Webster will be out for the season. We'll know more in a couple of weeks but, whether or not he has an operation, I think it will be six months.
"It leaves us very short. I've identified a player in Australia who would be good for us but we'll just have to see."
Huddersfield Giants head coach Paul Anderson:
"The closing stages definitely took off some of the gloss, although I thought we were the better team throughout.
"I'd told our players that Castleford have got a history recently of scoring a flurry of points and we allowed them to do it again. We've got to be better than that but we've won.
"You can't forget that the players have just come off the Easter programme. If you look at our game today -and I'm sure there will be a few more tomorrow - there's going to be some points scored because there's going to be some tired people out there. It's not an excuse, it's the truth.
"We could have been better but we got two points and I'm happy because it keeps us where we want to be."

That is how Carol McCullough describes living with a rare disease and trying to find out what was wrong with her.
A rare disease is defined as one affecting not more than one person in 2,000.
According to the NI Rare Disease Partnership, one in 17 people in Northern Ireland has such a condition.
That is more than 100,000 people, or roughly the population of a city the size of Londonderry.
Carol McCullough, from County Armagh, was diagnosed with Wilson's Disease in 2010.
It is a rare disorder that results in a build-up of copper in the body. An overload of copper is poisonous and can damage the liver, brain and other organs.
If the disease is caught early enough it can be effectively treated - if not, it is fatal.
The 55-year-old says receiving the diagnosis was a relief.
"It has freed up a lot of anxiety about what actually is the cause. I can get support. It's made me more confident to go out with people, has made me much less angry and more settled.
"The name means an awful lot to people because you do need that label to say, 'That's what is happening to me.'"
Someone who agrees that knowledge is power is busy mother-of-four Gillian Cassidy.
Her eldest daughter Lucia was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder when she was about three and a half years old.
It is called 22q11 deletion syndrome. Children with the condition can have heart defects, learning difficulties, a cleft palate and may have many other medical problems.
In almost all cases, the symptoms and features result from a missing piece of chromosome. Gillian says she gradually began to notice signs that something was slightly wrong her daughter.
"When she was getting to the age of two we had had a number of different issues. When she should have been learning how to start to talk we realised she had no sounds. She'd always been a quiet baby who didn't cry a lot so I asked the health visitor to refer her on to speech and language."
That referral led to a series of tests and a diagnosis was eventually received.
The Bangor woman says when she first researched the condition online, she was amazed.
"When I typed in 22q11, it brought up all these images of other children from across the world, who looked exactly like my daughter. Like clones from around the world and I didn't even need the diagnosis. I knew."
Dr Tabib Dabir is a consultant in clinical genetics.
Nearly a year ago, he was instrumental in setting up an innovative clinic within the Belfast Health Trust which monitors the physical health of sufferers of 22q11 deletion syndrome - with an added mental health component. Gillian Cassidy is also a patient support worker at the clinic.
Dr Dabir says he was responding to the needs of his patients.
"Generally when a diagnosis of 22q11 deletion syndrome is made, patients will be sent for an echo-cardiogram, will be referred to an immunologist, will also have a kidney scan, be referred to a plastic surgeon, etc. All the structural malformations of the condition are regularly looked at - the gap we found was the psychiatric component."
This, says Dr Dabir, is key as teenagers and adults with the syndrome are more likely to develop some psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia.
"The feedback from the clinic has been very, very encouraging. The parents feel it was much needed and they feel like they can actually contact somebody if there are ongoing issues with their child. The psychiatric component was rarely mentioned - so having a psychiatrist at the clinic is very reassuring."
Further information about rare diseases can be found on the NI Rare Disease Partnership website.
The charity, together with the Department of Health, are holding a series of engagement workshops across Northern Ireland - with one being held in Newtownabbey, County Antrim, next week.
Knox set up the only goal on his first start as Livi beat title-winners Rangers, where he spent time training earlier this season.
Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested.
"I am fighting tooth and nail with the board, and I think they are going to back me, to keep him," Hopkin said.
"He is a phenomenal talent and there is a lot of clubs interested in him.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I want to keep him for an extra year or two years and develop him myself because I think he is going to be something special.
"He has only turned 16 and he came out and put in a performance like that against the top team in the Championship and probably one of the top teams in Scotland.
"He didn't look out of place and it is great credit to the kid."
Hopkin's chances of retaining Knox, who made six appearances from the bench before his starting bow, will be improved if they can avoid relegation.
Having already been consigned to second-bottom place, Livingston must come through the play-offs if they are to retain their place in the Championship next season.
"We know it is going to be a difficult task whoever we play, but we've been playing well enough," Hopkin told BBC Scotland.
"Apart from last Saturday [a 3-1 loss at Queen of the South], I am delighted with the way it's going and we are a club that's trying to build something here and trying to bring young players through and develop them and, as long as I am here, that's what we'll do.
"After Saturday's performance, we were a wee bit down and I changed the team and gave a few young boys a chance and Matthew Knox his debut.
"We've only got 15-16 players. I think it is the youngest Livingston team ever, so to get a result and performance like that, I am really pleased and it gives us a boost going into the play-offs."
With both sides having failed to win a league game since early January, there were few chances on show.
Macclesfield's Paul Turnbull came closest for either side as his free-kick after 20 minutes hit the crossbar.
Halifax's victory meant the Robins fell to 21st in the table, level on points with Boreham Wood but with a far inferior goal difference.
The 41-year-old won three world titles with the German manufacturer and achieved more than 50 wins for them in European, World, German and British Touring Car Championships.
Priaulx, who was eighth in this year's British Touring Car Championship, will reveal his next career move in January.
"I am saying goodbye not just to a company, but to a family," the Guernsey driver said in a statement.
"Over the years I have been lucky to have driven some of the best racing cars there are and have stood on podiums in all parts of the world thanks to BMW.
"However, sometimes it is time to move on and for me that time has come.
"While we will all go our separate ways for 2016, nothing can ever break the bonds of friendship we have. I wish them all a very successful future."
The 134 Nobel laureates asked the new Communist Party head to release Liu, who has been jailed since 2009.
A group of Chinese activists and writers also signed a letter urging Liu's release from inciting subversion.
Meanwhile, Liu's wife has given her first interview since she was placed under house arrest two years ago.
Activist Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 despite the Chinese government's fierce opposition.
He was sentenced in 2009 for helping to draft a manifesto - Charter '08 - calling for political change. He is serving 11 years in jail for inciting the subversion of state power.
His wife, Liu Xia, told the Associated Press news agency her house arrest had been a painful experience.
"I felt I was a person emotionally prepared to respond to the consequences of Liu Xiaobo winning the [Nobel] prize. But after he won the prize, I really never imagined that after he won, I would not be able to leave my home," she said.
Her Beijing apartment has no internet or phone access. She is allowed out twice a week to buy groceries and visit her parents, and can see her husband once a month, she says.
"I think Kafka could not have written anything more absurd and unbelievable than this," she said.
The letters come four years after the Charter '08 manifesto and Liu's subsequent jailing.
The Nobel laureates, who include the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, South African Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu and US writer Toni Morrison, made public the letter to Mr Xi on Tuesday.
"As you have taken the first step towards assuming the presidency of the People's Republic of China, we write to welcome the prospect of fresh leadership and new ideas," they wrote.
"To that end, we respectfully urge you to release Dr Liu Xiaobo, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and his wife, Liu Xia."
Mr Xi, China's leader in waiting, was made Communist Party leader during its once-in-a-decade power transition last month.
The Chinese writers, rights activists and lawyers also sent a letter echoing the laureates' sentiment, calling Liu's prison term "a brazen violation of citizens' basic rights".
"We believe that the existence of political prisoners does not help China to build its image of a responsible world power," they said.
"Ending political imprisonment is an important benchmark for China to move toward a civilised political system."
At least 40 signed the letter when it was released on Tuesday, with the number reaching close to 300 on Thursday.
Among those who signed the letter were legal scholar He Weifang, human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang and AIDS activist Hu Jia.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, responded to the letter sent by the Nobel laureates on Wednesday.
"China is a law-abiding country. Liu Xiaobo was lawfully sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment by the judicial organ because he committed an offence against Chinese law," he said.
"The Chinese government opposes outsiders handling matters in any way that would interfere in its judicial sovereignty and internal matters."
On the other hand, he congratulated Mo Yan, who he said "loves his country and people".
The letters come as Chinese writer Mo Yan prepares to receive his Nobel Prize for Literature in Sweden on Monday.
While he has been criticised for not speaking out much on rights issues in China, he has previously called out for Liu Xiaobo to be freed "as soon as possible".
A decision on the Waking the Dragon tower was deferred last month amid concerns, including that the bronze statue would lose its colour over time.
But the businessman behind the plans, Simon Wingett, said he did not want to paint it "toytown" red.
Ahead of the meeting, councillors requested more information about traffic around the Chirk Park site.
The plans are for a 23.5m (77ft) high dragon which will stand atop a 41.5m (147ft) high tower, and were approved with a condition about road modifications at the site.
Councillor Paul Pemberton said: "It was approved with some highway conditions. It's for minor road modifications."
At the foot of the glass tower would be a two-storey curved visitor centre with a floor space of 2,150sq m.
Mainly glass sided, this would include a reception area, cafe and kitchen, a retail area, an education/gallery area, and a restaurant and multi-use area.

It said landline prices had risen by up to 41% in real terms since 2010, while wholesale prices have fallen by a quarter.
The rise in rental prices particularly affects those who rely on landlines, such as the elderly, Ofcom said.
The review will decide whether measures are needed to protect them.
The worst offenders are Sky, which has raised landline prices by 41% in real terms over the past six years, and Virgin Media, which has raised prices by 38%.
In response, Virgin Media said it would freeze landline charges for its elderly and disabled customers from January 2017.
Jonathan Oxley, Ofcom's competition group director, said: "Our evidence shows that landline providers have been raising the price of line rental, even as their costs have been coming down.
"We're particularly concerned for older and vulnerable customers, who rely on their landline and are less likely to change provider. So we're reviewing this market to ensure these customers are protected and getting value for money."
The most expensive provider for landline-only services is currently Virgin Media, at £19 a month, followed by BT at £18.99, according to Ofcom.
All in all it's thought around 10% of households in the UK do not have broadband or television packages.
As a result some two million homes rely on landlines or mobiles. Around a million are completely dependent on landlines.
Digital minister Matt Hancock said, "It cannot be right that these customers are paying over the odds and I am pleased that Ofcom is taking action on this important issue.
"The government is clear that action should be taken where consumers are not getting a good deal, which is why we are launching a Green Paper next year to examine markets which are not working fairly."
Ofcom has been tracking landline rental prices for some time, and has concerns that competition is not working as effectively as it could in the market, an Ofcom spokeswoman said.
Its review will look at whether any one provider has significant power, she said.
Ofcom does not have competition concerns about the market for bundling services such as broadband, pay-TV and landline rental together.
Benitez has proved an unpopular appointment with Chelsea's supporters but they were celebrating wildly in the Amsterdam Arena as they added this trophy to the Champions League won last season.
Fernando Torres scored against the run of play to put Chelsea ahead on the hour but Oscar Cardozo's penalty deservedly drew Benfica level.
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:
Blues keeper Petr Cech saved superbly from Cardozo and Frank Lampard struck the woodwork in a dramatic conclusion before Ivanovic - suspended for last year's Champions League final - rose to meet Juan Mata's corner deep into stoppage time to prompt a subdued clenched-fist celebration from Benitez.
It was a night when Chelsea rode their luck for periods against their Portuguese opponents but the sheer grit and resilience shown in grinding out this win in their 68th game of the season is a tribute to their reserves of character.
As for Benitez, he will leave Stamford Bridge following Sunday's final Premier League game against Everton a satisfied - and probably in-demand - manager after guiding the west Londoners into next season's Champions League and claiming a major trophy after succeeding Roberto Di Matteo in November.
Benfica, with their greatest ever player Eusebio watching from the stands, were attempting to lift their European curse and end a 51-year barren sequence but have now lost seven successive European finals, many of their players slumping to the turf in tears at the final whistle.
Chelsea, with Eden Hazard already out with a hamstring injury, also had to do without captain John Terry for a second successive European final after he failed to recover from the ankle problem he sustained at Aston Villa.
"Rafael Benitez managed the squad and the players look like they're together. That stems from the manager and he's galvanised that squad. There's a will about the team. 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 inspiration of Hazard was sorely missed in a lifeless first half from Chelsea, when they were only spared by Benfica's tendency to over-elaborate and their dreadful finishing.
Nicolas Gaitan, in particular, was a culprit when he twice shot wildly off target after Benfica's precise approach play had opened up Chelsea at the back.
Torres took a knock early on and his struggles were made even more acute by a lack of support in midfield, where former Chelsea midfield man Nemanja Matic, who went to Benfica as part of the David Luiz deal, was impressive.
For all Benfica's possession and superiority, it was their goalkeeper Artur who had to make the half's outstanding save. The keeper, prone to occasional moments of eccentricity, did brilliantly to change direction and palm Lampard's swerving shot to safety.
The pattern continued in the second half and the dangerous Cardozo thought he had made Benfica's deserved breakthrough after 50 minutes, but his header from Gaitan's cross was ruled out for offside.
Chelsea took the lead against the run of play just before the hour, but it was a moment of vintage Torres that provided it. He showed pace and body strength to escape the attentions of Ezequiel Garay and Luisao before rounding Artur to score from the tightest of angles.
The lead lasted only nine minutes. Benfica drew level from the spot after Cesar Azpilicueta handled Eduardo Salvio's header, Cardozo scoring emphatically.
It required superb athleticism from Cech to prevent Cardozo putting Benfica in front with nine minutes left, the keeper at full stretch to turn his dipping 20-yard shot over the bar.
Lampard came even closer with only three minutes left when his 20-yard drive beat Artur but bounced back out to safety off the bar.
Chelsea had one last chance deep into stoppage time and Ivanovic produced a towering header to win the Europa League.

The harmful, tiny pieces of matter, up to 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5 for short), are too small to be seen by the naked eye, but big enough to make it into the outgoing Chinese premier's final speech to parliament this week.
In his swansong after a decade in power, Wen Jiabao noted that the government had started releasing PM2.5 data and said more needed to be done to bring China's serious air quality problem under control.
So with the issue of pollution so high on the agenda at the annual parliamentary session, some are wondering what possible solutions might be in the pipeline.
One might very well be a renewed effort to kick-start the electric car industry.
Some reports suggest that the generous subsidy scheme for battery-driven vehicles will be expanded from the present five cities to 20 more.
But so far no country in the world has succeeded in making the dream of emission-free driving a reality.
Despite the lofty ideal, the electric car has so far been a sputtering disappointment, accounting for only a fraction of 1% of global car sales.
And the same is true in China. There is an existing target to put five million on the road by 2020 but the Chinese consumer is so far very much unconvinced.
But BYD Auto Company in the southern city of Shenzhen is just one electric vehicle maker hoping that the time is now ripe for the government to step up its efforts.
The company rose to global prominence in 2008 when venture capitalist Warren Buffett bought a 9.9% stake.
He was betting that if anyone could make the technology work then China's central planners would be the ones to do it.
They have certainly tried. In Shanghai, for example, the total amount of subsidy on offer, including an exemption from the city's expensive licence plate system, is worth up to $30,000 (£20,000).
But that would still leave more than $40,000 to be paid before you could drive away in a BYD e6.
Electric cars are not cheap and buyers have worries other than price.
"I think that when you talk to a regular Joe about electric vehicles he is excited but when you ask Mr Joe to buy one, he's nervous," said Isbrand Ho from BYD's Auto Export Trade Division.
"We call that 'range anxiety'. How far will my vehicle go?"
The answer for an e6 is well in excess of 300 km (190 miles) on one charge.
That is the sort of number that might just start looking attractive to less price-sensitive customers but China still doesn't have anything like enough charging stations to make the car a practical choice.
Last year, BYD sold only 1,700 electric cars in China. Isbrand Ho tells me that at that volume the car is inherently expensive, due to the economy of scale.
What they need, he says, is for production to get above a certain threshold, and then costs will come down.
And there may yet be one way to do that. When it comes to deciding what kind of cars are on the road China has a number of advantages over some other governments.
Firstly, the luxury of unchallenged, centralised decision-making power. They can easily just build more charging stations. And secondly, an awful lot of vehicles.
In Shenzhen, BYD has found one willing customer; the public transport system.
The company aims to triple its sales this year by selling 2,000 electric buses and 6,000 e6 cars to the city's partly state-owned taxi companies.
If copied nationwide, then China's sales of battery cars might not look quite so weedy.
For China, the costs of its decades-long economic rise are beginning to loom very large indeed.
Public discontent over a range of grievances is mounting; income disparity, corruption and pollution are often cited as the main ones.
The issues are complex and structural and there are no quick fixes, but the government needs to be seen to be doing something.
More than one million new fuel-engine cars pour onto China's roads every month, and vehicle exhaust now accounts for up to a half of those PM2.5 particles.
That is why they made it into Wen Jiabao's speech and why, as leaders meet for the annual parliament, some are expecting the Communist Party to make a renewed effort to give battery power a boost.
The Bevan Foundation analysed the winners and losers in Wales.
It says ministers will need to fill "holes" in a shrinking safety net, as workless families with children face a 15% fall in their incomes.
The Treasury said it wants a lower welfare society - while Welsh ministers want to "protect people" from cuts.
The Merthyr Tydfil-based charity looked at changes to incomes, tax thresholds and welfare payments.
It says the winners include 600,000 state pensioners, who will get a 2.5% rise a year until 2020.
Chancellor George Osborne outlined how the welfare system would change in his recent Budget, including freezing working-age benefits for four years, scrapping housing benefit for under-21s and restricting public sector pay rises.
But he replaced the minimum wage by a National Living Wage, starting at £7.20. He also raised the amount people need to earn before they pay income tax.
The foundation says that the overall impact of the tax and benefit changes is "highly uneven" with a "substantial minority" set to see their incomes fall in real or cash terms.
The report warns that for households with few or no savings, limited assets and weak job prospects "the shrinking safety net is a very real issue even if they are not currently claimants".
The foundation says policy in Wales needs to explore how best people can reduce the need for help from the benefits system.
In summary, its analysis finds:
The foundation says there are challenges facing the Welsh government:
Dr Victoria Winckler, director of the Bevan Foundation, said: "It is right that employers should pay people enough to live on but it's just that right now the economy is not booming and I think it's going to be difficult for people to find extra hours to make up for the shortfall."
She said the 600,000 pensioners have been promised a 2.5% rise each year, which will mean a "shift in the income and spending of older people rather than younger people".
Dr Winckler added: "We need to do something quite urgently to help young people find work, support parents in work and help disabled people into work because life on benefit is going to bring increased hardship."
A Treasury spokesperson said: "As the chancellor said in the budget, we are moving Britain from a low wage, high tax and high welfare economy to a higher wage, lower tax and lower welfare society.
"That's why we have introduced the national living wage, which taken with all the welfare savings and the tax cuts means that a typical family where someone is working full time on the minimum wage will be better off in 2020."
A Welsh government spokesperson said: "The UK government has continued to cut back the welfare state. We already know that welfare cuts have a disproportionate impact on Wales.
"Our own research has shown that changes to welfare that have already been introduced will reduce the income of working-age adults in Wales this year by around £900m. These further welfare cuts will make this worse."
The local man was arrested in Ramsey, Isle of Man, shortly after the alleged incident is said to have occurred around Poyll Dhooie at 10:20 BST.
Police would like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of the Whitebridge Ford or Poyll Dhooie around 10:00 on Wednesday.
The man will appear at Douglas Courthouse later.
Police said they are particularly keen to speak to dog walkers who were in the nature area and also a man and a woman who were feeding ducks by the ford.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police headquarters.
Best, 34, signed a short-term deal with the county on Monday as injury cover for fellow countryman Fidel Edwards.
"I'm like a kid in a candy store," he told BBC Radio Solent. "I'm really blessed to have this opportunity and I'm ready to bowl as hard as I can."
Barbados-born fast bowler Best has joined Hampshire as a Kolpak signing.
His last international appearance came in January 2014 and the move to Hampshire will be his second spell in county cricket, having played for Yorkshire in 2010.
"I'm just relishing the opportunity to play for the same county as West Indies greats like Marshall and Greenidge," Best said.
"I've always been a student of the game. Cricket's my first love and it's what pays the bills."
Best played in the Masters Champions League in the UAE during the winter and is confident he can bowl at the same pace which first saw him burst onto the international stage in 2003.
"The key with fast bowling is it's all about fitness," he said. "Ottis Gibson (England bowling coach and former West Indies head coach) says it's all about desire.
"It's all about working hard and that desire will never leave me." | Heavy twins, skinny waists and the world's longest fingernails are just some of the bizarre records awarded since the launch of the Guinness World Records book 60 years ago today.

Mr Johnson drew much of the fire from politicians on the Remain side - Labour's Angela Eagle, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and his own Conservative colleague, Energy Secretary Amber Rudd.
He was repeatedly accused of eyeing David Cameron's job - the prime minister has said he will not seek a third term.
"I think you only care about one job and that's your next one," said Ms Eagle to Mr Johnson.
But Mr Johnson said he was backing the campaign to leave the EU because Mr Cameron had not secured changes in his EU renegotiation which would have allowed him to cut net migration below 100,000.
"There has got to be democratic consent for the scale of the flows that we are seeing." he said.
In her closing remarks, Ms Rudd described Mr Johnson as the "life and soul of the party but not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening".
Mr Johnson responded by describing being in the EU as being locked in the back of a car, headed in the wrong direction "to a destination you wouldn't want to go".

The "outers" were all on the same script.
The "remainers" all had one target - Boris Johnson, who was repeatedly accused, even by his Cabinet colleague Amber Rudd, of being more interested in his own ambition than in the referendum.
The central disputes were all rehearsed - the Out campaign was attacked for not spelling out a precise vision of how the economy would be affected if we leave the EU.
The remain camp was accused of filling voters with fear about what would happen. Migration was a constant theme.
Both sides, inevitably perhaps, claimed victory within minutes.
But while remain clearly tried to diminish the out camp's biggest figure, Boris Johnson, despite two hours of bad tempers, the dynamics of the campaign stay the same.
The former London mayor, alongside Labour's Gisela Stuart and Conservative Andrea Leadsom accused Remain of a "miserable" campaign and getting "personal" while avoiding the key issues.
Mr Johnson, for Leave urged voters to "believe in ourselves" and "take back control" while his Conservative colleague Amber Rudd - making the case to remain in the EU - said that "as a mother", she did not want to take the "risk" of leaving the EU with her children's future.
On immigration - Mrs Leadsom, for Leave, said people were "genuinely struggling with access to public services" and the Remain side had "no answer" to that.
Labour's Angela Eagle, for Remain, said there were no "simple solutions" to the issue but Nicola Sturgeon said "our economy would suffer if we pull up the drawbridge".
The answer to pressure on public services is to invest more in them, she added, blaming government cuts for some of the problems.
And Ms Rudd accused her Conservative colleague Mrs Leadsom of "scaremongering" with her tone over immigration, after she said the UK was "not even in control of our borders".
The debate heated up over the controversial claim by the Leave camp that the UK sends £350m a week to the EU - which critics point out does not include the UK's rebate. Ms Eagle pointed at the Leave campaigners, telling them to "get that lie off your bus" while claiming it was an "absolute whopper".
But Ms Leadsom, for Leave, said when people gave their salaries they did not deduct NI and tax and the rebate and EU subsidies were controlled by the EU: "£10bn a year goes to the EU which we never see again," she said.
The debate, moderated by ITV's Julie Etchingham, was held hours before the deadline for registering to vote and two weeks before polling day - 23 June.
The Blues were reported to have offered £35m for the 21-year-old.
Italy Under-21 international Romagnoli joined Milan from Roma for £21.25m last summer.
"The player is not for sale, therefore this negotiation will not continue," read a statement on the Rossoneri's website.
Romagnoli made his Serie A debut aged 17 and has made 77 senior appearances for Roma, Milan and Sampdoria.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, a former Juventus and Italy boss, has so far signed midfielder N'Golo Kante from Leicester and Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi.

But this season the name that's on everyone's lips is Leicester City.
And they play against Arsenal today.
The club's currently top of the league table so Martin's been to the city to find out the secret to their recent success.
A University of Leicester team installed a seismometer near Leicester City's King Power stadium and reported a minor quake with a magnitude of 0.3.
The tremor was attributed to a "sudden energy release" made by Foxes fans when Leonardo Ulloa scored a last-minute winner against Norwich, in February.
The event has been labelled the "Vardy Quake" after top scorer Jamie Vardy.
Live updates and more from Leicestershire
A seismometer was installed by geology students, and the British Geological Survey (BGS), at Hazel Community Primary School, 500m (0.3 miles) from the King Power Stadium, as part of a project to detect earthquakes around the world.
However, Paul Denton, a seismologist from the BGS, said the team wondered if football fans would affect the detectors.
He said: "The seismometers were actually closer to the Leicester Tigers [rugby] ground and so we were expecting stronger signals from there but we can't find anything.
"It says something about the nature of football, it's so tense and then we get four or five seconds of unexpected magic.
"[In Leicester's case] it was in the 89th minute, the game was practically over.
"It wasn't just a case of cheering or clapping, it was 30,000 people standing up at the same time - an awful amount of energy."
The scientist who recorded similar results at the Reading music festival and freight trains passing through the city, said he would like to see how Leicester compares with other football clubs.
He said it could inspire children to get more interested in science.
Leicester City have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season and are clear at the top by five points with nine games left to play.
The students will continue to monitor the Foxes' home games and will provide updates via the @VardyQuake Twitter account.
Nicholas Paget-Brown said he would co-operate "in full" with the government's inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster and any other investigations, amid criticism of the council.
Some 58 people are dead or missing, presumed dead, police have said.
The recovery operation has resumed but could take weeks.
Meanwhile, the Home Office said it was making arrangements for the family of one of those who died in the fire to travel from Syria to Britain for his funeral.
Mohammed Alhajali, who was 23 and a civil engineering student, was the first victim to be named.
Following criticisms of Kensington and Chelsea Council's handling of the disaster, Mr Paget-Brown said "lessons must be learned", adding that he was "heartbroken by the tragic fire and the appalling loss of life".
He said: "Kensington and Chelsea council is working closely with the government, charities, volunteer and resident groups and the emergency services to help re-house and assist all those affected.
"Of course, people rightly have questions about the causes of the fire and why it spread so quickly and these will be answered."
On Saturday Theresa May admitted support for families in the "initial hours" was "not good enough".
The statement came after Mrs May met volunteers and some of the people made homeless by the fire.
Residents caught up in the fire have previously condemned the relief effort as "absolute chaos".
As they left Number 10, one representative spoke to reporters briefly, saying they had spoken to the prime minister for two and a half hours about their demands and what they expected.
In her statement, Mrs May said: "Frankly, the support on the ground for families who needed help or basic information in the initial hours after this appalling disaster was not good enough."
She said phone lines would be better staffed and more staff would be deployed in the area.
They would wear high-visibility clothing so they could easily be found, dispense advice and ensure the right support is provided, she added.
Mrs May also said she expected to announce the name of the judge for a public inquiry within the next few days.
The inquiry will report back to the prime minister.
She has told councils to complete urgent safety checks on similar tower blocks.
Mrs May has come in for a barrage of criticism over her response to the disaster, including being jeered when she visited the North Kensington estate on Friday.
On Saturday afternoon, hundreds of protesters gathered in Whitehall, to call for her resignation.
But First Secretary of State Damian Green defended the prime minister, saying she was as "distraught as we all are".
The government has committed £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies for the victims.
The Queen used her official birthday message to reflect on the "sombre national mood" following tragedies in London and Manchester in recent weeks.
She said, in an unprecedented statement, that she had been "profoundly struck by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to offer comfort and support to those in desperate need".
So far in the investigation:
The fire broke out at the 24-storey block, which contained 120 one and two-bedroom flats, shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday.
It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring under control.
Two neighbouring Tube lines are to be partly suspended into a second day amid safety concerns of debris falling on to the tracks.
The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith, and the Circle Line is also closed, Transport for London said.
TfL said the lines were expected to be suspended until 14:00 on Sunday.

Paul Lyons and Toni Ackerman subjected the man to a two-hour ordeal, including burning him with an iron.
They then disconnected his phone and locked him in his home in Thurcroft to stop him getting help following the attack in October.
Lyons, 47, from Denaby, and Ackerman, 35, from Doncaster were convicted of robbery and attempted murder.
Live updates on this story and others from Sheffield and South Yorkshire
Sheffield Crown Court heard Lyons and Ackerman had befriended the 55-year-old man before launching their "vicious" attack.
Police discovered the victim locked inside his house and covered in blood after being called to the property at about 21:45 GMT on 27 October.
Lyons and Ackerman were later arrested after they were seen covered in blood and carrying the man's television.
Det Con Janelle Dexter-Lowe said: "This was a vicious, targeted attack on a vulnerable and defenceless man carried out by two evil individuals.
"The man was effectively tortured in his own home for up to two hours, during which time he was punched, stamped on, stabbed and burnt with an iron.
"He was also dragged around the house while Lyons and Ackerman ransacked his home, looking for valuables before locking him in."
She said the victim was recovering from the ordeal, adding: "I hope that today's sentence will give him some comfort and contribute to his recovery."
Leigh's Mr Turner stars Timothy Spall as the artist JMW Turner, while Loach's Jimmy's Hall dramatises the deportation of a 1930s Irish activist.
David Cronenberg, Tommy Lee Jones and The Artist director Michel Hazavinicius are also in contention for the prestigious Palme d'Or award.
The 67th Cannes Film Festival runs from 14 to 25 May.
Other directors to be included in this year's official competition line-up include 83-year-old Jean-Luc Godard, Canada's Atom Egoyan and Belgian siblings Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne.
Animated sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 will screen out of competition, as will this year's opening night film Grace of Monaco, starring Nicole Kidman.
Festival organisers have also announced the line-up of the Un Certain Regard section, which will this year feature the directorial debut of Hollywood star Ryan Gosling.
Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and former Doctor Who Matt Smith are among the cast of Lost River, a dark fantasy formerly known as How to Catch a Monster.
This year's line-up features two appearances from Robert Pattinson, who plays the lead role in Cronenberg's Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars.
The Twilight actor also appears in The Rover, an Australian crime drama that will have a special midnight screening at this year's event.
The line-up does not include films by Paul Thomas Anderson, Terrence Malick, Woody Allen and others that had been tipped for inclusion by some industry pundits.
Yet it does include two films by female directors - Naomi Kawase of Japan and Alice Rohrwacher of Italy - following criticisms of 2012's all-male shortlist.
New Zealand's Jane Campion, whose film The Piano was named joint winner of the Palme d'Or in 1993, will head this year's main competition jury.
The Homesman, a period western that Tommy Lee Jones both directs and stars in alongside Meryl Streep and Hilary Swank, is one of two US titles among the 18 on the official shortlist.
The other is Foxcatcher, in which Anchorman's Steve Carell stars as an eccentric millionaire whose dealings with a pair of Olympic wrestlers lead to murder.
Veteran auteur Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language is the shortest film in the line-up with a running time of just 70 minutes.
The longest is Winter's Sleep, the latest film from Turkey's Nuri Bilge Ceylan, which runs for three hours and 16 minutes.
The Dardennes return with Two Days, One Night, a drama starring French actress Marion Cotillard, having previously won the Palme d'Or in 1999 and 2005.
Hazavinicius, whose silent film homage The Artist went on to win five Oscars following its Cannes premiere in 2011, will also return with his follow-up feature The Search.
Starring the French director's actress wife Berenice Bejo and Annette Bening, it tells of an NGO worker who bonds with a young boy in war-torn Chechnya.
Egoyan, meanwhile, will premiere The Captive, a thriller starring Ryan Reynolds as a father trying to recover his kidnapped daughter.
Loach has become a regular at France's historic film festival over the years, having previously been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or on 11 occasions.
The 77-year-old, who won the Palme in 2006 with The Wind that Shakes the Barley, has let it known that Jimmy's Hall - named after a rural dance hall built by the political activist Jimmy Gralton - may be his last fictional feature.
"Looks like we made it folks - Jimmy's Hall is heading to #Cannes2014," his production company Sixteen Films posted on Twitter. "Thanks to all the team who made it happen!"
Leigh has been in contention on four previous occasions, winning the Palme d'Or in 1996 with Secrets and Lies.
"It's a great honour to be in competition in Cannes for the fifth time, and I'm over the moon!," said the 71-year-old on Thursday.
In a statement Ben Roberts, director of the British Film Institute's Film Fund, sent his congratulations to Leigh and Loach and said it had been "a privilege to work with two true masters of British cinema at their finest".
He predicted their "wonderful films" would "light up the Croisette" - the main Mediterranean-facing boulevard in Cannes - "with their colourful, transcendent reflections on life and love, politics and change, art and music".
A complete list of this year's official selection is available on the Cannes Film Festival website.
Figures show more than 2,000 offences were recorded in February alone since the 50mph cameras went live in January.
Motorists are thought to have paid out more than half a million pounds in fines during the past six months.
Wales Road Casualty Reduction Partnership GoSafe emphasised it was not a money-making venture.
Some 6,964 offences were recorded along the stretch of M4 from 1 January to 3 June 2015.
Motorists caught speeding were initially sent a cautionary letter, but from 19 January the usual speeding sanctions were enforced such as fines, court action and speed awareness courses.
Chris Hume, partnership manager at GoSafe, told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme the number of offences averaged 50 a day - a "small proportion" of the 75,000 vehicles that use the road every day.
And he said detecting speed and road safety was not about money raising.
"The money doesn't come to us. Central government, who do take the money in terms of fines, have no impact in terms of where we put cameras... that's down to us," he said.
"It's a 50mph limit because the road itself is a very difficult road to go along. It was built in the 1960s. It was built as a by-pass.
"It's really difficult to see when people are coming on to the motorway and therefore there's quite a bit of sudden braking or accelerating... and because of that it's an area that we have to be very cautious of."
Claire Armstrong, from Safe Speed which campaigns against the use of speed cameras, claimed they could cause an accident.
"Speed cameras have never been proved to reduce speeds, the courses have no proof that they make drivers drive better, and it's taking money back with those grants, back to the people who are funding the speed cameras, so that they can produce more speed cameras," she said.

The debate - the first ahead of the 23 June poll - is aimed at young voters.
You've told us whether you're voting to leave or remain - in or out - and about the issues of concern to you ahead of the referendum to decide Britain's future in Europe.

The 291-foot (88m) flag - India's second tallest - was unveiled on 2 June to mark the second anniversary of Telangana, India's 29th state.
But the tricolour flag has already been damaged by winds thrice, and has had to be replaced by new ones.
India's laws say a damaged flag cannot be flown and can be hoisted again after repairs.
The flag, which cost 18m rupees ($265,064; £200,000) to put up, has been installed near the 455-year-old picturesque Hussainsagar lake.
The flag is made of polyester, but experts say the fabric lacks strength to cope with wind speeds reaching 140km/h (85 mph) near the lake.
"These large flags always give problems. We had initially procured five flags but realising the frequency with which they have to be changed, we have ordered for five more to be delivered immediately," said Ganapati Reddy, an engineer with the government's roads and buildings department.
Each new flag would cost the exchequer 115,000 rupees, he added.
Authorities are now toying with the idea of using pochampally, a fabric native to Telangana, to make a new flag which would be able to withstand the wind pressure better than polyester.
However, the new fabric is likely to add to the weight of the 65kg flag.
The Telangana government also wants to find out about the material used in the world's tallest flag (560 foot) in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, where the flag itself weighs 570kg.
Experts say many national flags are being damaged by winds in India. They say flags need to be durable for extreme weather conditions without being too heavy.
The chief of the Flag Foundation of India, KV Singh, said a 207-foot national flag in the capital, Delhi, tore 11 times in May and June.
"This despite the Delhi flag being a smaller flag than the one in Hyderabad. So damage is normal when the flag is high," says Mr Singh.
India's tallest national flag - 293 foot - was hoisted in the eastern city of Ranchi in January.
However, India's Border Security Force (BSF) plans to install India's tallest flag - 350 foot - at the Wagah border with Pakistan in Punjab by January next year.
"We had suggested to hoist a smaller flag to avoid frequent damage but the aim is to ensure that the Indian flag is visible from Lahore in Pakistan," Mr Singh said.

South Korea's version of the pickled cabbage dish won a place on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013.
Now Unesco says the rival version from the North - or rather the intricate process of making it - could also be worthy of a place.
But which version would win a taste test? The BBC's Stephen Evans sits down to find out.
Mark Reckless said the "Cardiff Bay establishment" saw more devolution as a way to boost its power and importance.
He said he did not understand why a consensus was emerging in support of income tax powers without a referendum.
Labour said UKIP's values were "not shared by the vast majority in Wales".
UKIP got more than 200,000 votes in Wales at the general election - more than both Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats - but did not win any seats.
The party is likely to pick up several assembly seats next May as the election has an element of proportional representation.
Former Tory MP Mr Reckless, now UKIP's head of policy development, said the party would campaign for directly elected health boards, the return of grammar schools, and more powers being devolved to councils.
He claimed "most people in Wales" did not want to see more powers devolved along the lines of the Scottish model.
"There seems to be a distance from what I describe as the Cardiff Bay establishment and just people I speak to on the doorstep in Wales," said Mr Reckless.
"They're out of touch with voters. And I think part of that is the Cardiff Bay establishment sees devolution as something that's about them and about their powers and their importance."
Mr Reckless said UKIP accepted devolution and wanted to "make it work", but rejected the idea of Welsh powers over income tax without public approval in a referendum.
"We don't want to see taxes raised and I don't think there's any burning desire from people in Wales to be paying yet more tax than people in England," he said.
"I don't understand why there's such a consensus in the Cardiff Bay establishment that that's the way to go, having promised that that wouldn't happen back in 2011," he added, referring to the last devolution referendum in Wales.
Political commentator Daran Hill said UKIP's description of a "Cardiff Bay establishment" could be effective.
"I think UKIP can capitalise with people who don't want the assembly at all," he said.
"They can also capitalise with people who are disillusioned with the assembly.
"I think there might be a market where people might just be fed up of hearing about talk of more powers, tax-raising powers, law-making powers."
A spokesman for Welsh Labour said: "UKIP's values are not ones shared by the vast majority in Wales.
"That they have sent a right-wing former Tory MP from Kent to Wales to tell people what they should think shows how poorly they understand Wales."
The spokesman added that First Minister Carwyn Jones had never ruled out a referendum on income tax, but noted other parts of the UK were getting more powers without such a poll.
The Welsh Conservatives said UKIP were "out of touch" on devolution, and said they wanted people to "have a say" on income tax powers through a referendum.
Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats both said they believed income tax powers should be devolved without a referendum.
Lochte, 32, had told a TV interview that he and three other members of the US swimming team had been robbed at gunpoint at a petrol station.
Brazilian police later determined, partly based on CCTV footage, that Lochte had largely made up the story.
He was charged with making a false statement and banned from swimming.
But an appeal court in Rio de Janeiro has thrown out the case, the Associated Press reports, saying Lochte's robbery claims "did not rise to the level of filing a false crime report". This is because the claim was made to a broadcaster and not to police.
"We are pleased that the court has finally dismissed the criminal prosecution against Mr Lochte, while also acknowledging that he committed no crime while in Brazil," Lochte's lawyer Jeff Ostrow told USA Today.
Prosecutors can still appeal against the court's decision but Ostrow added: "We are hopeful that the prosecution accepts the court's decision so that this story can finally be put to rest."
Lochte is one of the most successful swimmers in history, with 12 Olympic medals - including six golds.
He swam in two events in Rio, winning gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay.
Lochte and team-mates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen had been out celebrating the end of the swimming competition on August 15, 2016.
Lochte later said in an interview with NBC that they were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the Olympic village from a party.
But police investigating the case said they have found no evidence of the robbery. They also pointed to "inconsistencies" in the swimmers' accounts.
Video showed the athletes getting into a confrontation with security guards at a petrol station and Lochte later apologised for his behaviour.
Lochte and Feigen were ordered to stay in Brazil to face questions but Lochte had already returned to the US.
Lochte was banned by the US swimming team for his behaviour, a suspension that expired on June 30, 2017, and he missed the US World Championship trials.
Lochte was also dropped by four of his major sponsors, including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren.
Bentz and Conger were pulled off a US-bound plane by police, though they were subsequently allowed to leave after questioning.
Feigen agreed to pay $11,000 (£8,250) to a Brazilian charity after he was allowed to return home.
All three were each banned from swimming for four months.
Lochte is now preparing to return to competitive swimming but pulled out of this weekend's Los Angeles Invitational.
"It's been a long suspension but it's over," Lochte tweeted on 1 July. "I've learned and became a better man from it."
Mr Tuft regularly appeared on the Gerry Anderson Show to offer advice on rural life that typically descended into comedic chatter with the presenter.
He died in a fire at his home outside Loughbrickland earlier this month.
BBC Radio Ulster's Sean Coyle, who co-presented the Gerry Anderson Show, was among those who attended Mr Tuft's funeral.
It took place at Aghaderg Parish Church in Loughbrickland, a short distance from where Mr Tuft lived.
It follows a consultative ballot by the Unite union of members employed by companies represented by the Caterers Offshore Trade Association (Cota).
They previously rejected an offer in February.
Unite said staff had "had enough". Cota said it was "extremely disappointed" that Unite was pressing ahead with an industrial ballot.

Tom Rogic and teenage debutant Michael Johnston forced Saints keeper Zander Clark into several first-half saves.
Roberts put the champions ahead but Steven MacLean lashed in an equaliser.
Dedryck Boyata headed home a corner and Roberts scored his second before substitute Callum McGregor added the fourth with a sublime individual goal.
Victory moved the champions, who have now gone a year unbeaten domestically, 30 points clear of Aberdeen, who play Hearts on Sunday.
St Johnstone, who suffered a first defeat in 12 'post-split' fixtures going back two years, remain in fourth, six points ahead of Hearts.
Clark, making his first appearance in the Saints goal since the middle of March after replacing Alan Mannus, did not have to wait long to be tested.
Within 40 seconds he was diving low to turn a powerful left-foot strike from Rogic from 25 yards round the post.
Next he denied 18-year-old Michael Johnston, making his first-team debut, as he parried clear the youngster's right-foot 20-yarder.
Rogic, in the advanced central midfield role, was creative and dangerous and another well-struck effort forced Clark to show his quality again with another top-class save.
At the other end, Celtic keeper Craig Gordon, trying to play out from the back, passed the ball straight to Brian Easton but the Saints defender failed to take advantage.
Danny Swanson fired an early 25-yard free-kick over the top of Gordon's bar, but the visitors wasted the best chance of the first half just before the interval when MacLean headed Easton's cross into the path of Blair Alston 12 yards out, but the Saints midfielder sent his shot over the bar.
With Johnston producing flair on the left flank, fellow 18-year-old Anthony Ralston was enjoying his first start for the hosts at right-back, overlapping regularly to add another option to Celtic's attack.
Johnston was at the heart of the move that led to Celtic's opener on the resumption, his pass releasing Roberts, who from just outside the 18-yard box, sent a low left-foot strike into the bottom right-hand corner.
Saints responded within 90 seconds. MacLean's header from Paul Paton's cross was blocked on the line by Gordon, but as the ball broke free MacLean followed up to level the score.
Three minutes later Celtic regained the lead as Boyata rose unchallenged to head home a Roberts corner.
The champions increased their advantage just after the hour after slick build-up play.
Griffiths fired in a shot which Clark parried, but substitute Scott Sinclair reacted swiftly to cut the ball back for Roberts to claim his second of the afternoon from close range.
Celtic were flying now and Sinclair, who had replaced the impressive Johnston, almost produced a magnificent solo goal, eluding numerous challenges before being denied by Clark.
Instead it was McGregor, only on the pitch for a minute after replacing Rogic, who claimed the game's classiest goal with a mazy run that left several Saints defenders in his wake before sweeping a low shot into the net for his third goal in three games.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: "It was a really exciting performance for the supporters and a joy to watch the team play to that level.
"We were very good for the first 35 minutes without getting the goal, but we started the second half really well, and just switched off for some reason to concede the goal.
"But our response was spectacular. We scored four goals, and maybe could have finished with six or seven if we had been more clinical.
"I've been encouraging Patrick [Roberts] to get into the box because with his quality, he has the ability to score more goals, and it was a great bit of individual skill from Callum [McGregor] - he is performing at a really top level.
"I was delighted with the two young players who made their first starts. You can see the profile of Mikey Johnston, he is very similar to Scott Sinclair - slight, fast, dynamic. With more involvement he will become a bit more prolific and incisive but he was quick and direct and most importantly worked very hard to press the play.
"I thought Tony [Anthony Ralston] was exceptional. You can see the maturity now in his performance; you would think he'd played 50 games already. He's a very good defender, very hard to beat, very strong, but he can play football and has the agility to get forward. It was an outstanding first start from him."
St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright: "I thought Celtic were exceptional, they played particularly well, but I am disappointed that when we got back to 1-1, we gave away a poor goal to put them back in control of the game.
"If you keep it level for 10-15 minutes, then you might get something out of the game. But it was just wave after wave of attack.
"It was a tough day for us, but at 4-1 with 20 minutes to go, it could have been a lot worse. We defended and made sure we came away with a 4-1 defeat and not a heavier one.
"But the second and third goals were poor goals from our point of view."

Fire crews were called out to the four-storey property on the High Street of the Scottish Borders town just before 22:00 on Thursday.
Firefighters from Hawick, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Edinburgh were at the scene of the fire for several hours.
One man was rescued from an adjacent property and treated by medics at the scene for smoke inhalation.
During the fire the roof collapsed on to a neighbouring building - which had been evacuated.
The fire was put out by about 04:30 but there was considerable damage to the two buildings.
The 500m world record holder suffered a concussion last week, and will not be able to compete in line with GB medical team's 'return to racing policy'.
Chrisite, 26, holds the number one ranking in the 500m World Cup and sits second in the 1,000m.
She has won three 500m and two 1,000m World Cup gold medals this season.
"While this is disappointing to not have Elise racing this weekend, we take any head injury seriously," said GB short track performance director Stewart Laing.
European bronze medallist Charlotte Gilmartin, 26, is targeting a first World Cup medal of the season in the 1500m.
The World Cup series will conclude in Minsk, Belarus, between 10 and 12 February.
Having elected to field, once Palladino had bowled Steven Mullaney for 76, Notts wickets fell regularly.
Palladino also removed Che Pujara (29) and Samit Patel (28) before Rikki Wessels' 39 helped Division Two leaders Notts to a batting point.
The visitors then lost Luis Reese and Shiv Thakor, but got to stumps on 52-2.
Notts, unbeaten in their five County Championship games this season, endured a testing, slightly rain-affected day against their neighbours, whop began this match winless in ninth place.
Tom Taylor (2-58) and Conor McKerr (2-53) backed Palladino up well with the ball, helping Derbyshire enjoy the best of the opening day, despite Thakor's dismissal for 13 with just two balls remaining.
Devine smashed 93 off 41 balls as New Zealand raced to their target with 35 overs and eight wickets to spare.
Earlier, seamer Hannah Rowe had starred with the ball, taking 3-22 as Pakistan were bowled out for 144.
New Zealand's next match is against hosts England at Derby on Wednesday.
In Saturday's other match, South Africa beat India by 115 runs.
Proteas opener Lizelle Lee hit seven sixes in her 65-ball 92 to lay the platform for a total of 273-9.
India were never in the hunt and slumped to 158 all out - Dane van Niekerk taking 4-22.
The result means England drop out of the top four - the qualifying spots for the semi-finals - before Sunday's clash with Australia.
The CellScope system films a drop of blood and an app then automatically analyses any movement in the sample to detect the parasites.
The results, published in Science Translational Medicine, showed the device was successful in small trials in Cameroon.
Experts said it marked a fundamental advance in tropical diseases.
Previous efforts to eradicate two parasitic diseases - river blindness and elephantiasis - have been suspended because the treatment can become fatal in some people.
One treatment, the drug ivermectin, is risky in people with high levels of Loa loa worm - the one that can crawl across the surface of the eye - so people need to be screened first.
However, testing is time-consuming and requires laboratory equipment.
The team in the most recent research, at the University of California, Berkeley, and the US National Institutes of Health, used a modified smartphone to automate the process.
A pindrop of blood was collected and loaded into a handheld box. The phone on top then kicked in.
"With one touch of the screen, the device moves the sample, captures video and automatically analyses the images," said one of the researchers, Prof Daniel Fletcher.
Rather than attempt to identify the shape of the worm, the software in the phone looks for the movement.
The software predicts the number of Loa loa parasites in the blood and tells the healthcare workers whether they are suitable for drug treatment.
It means very little training is required, while current screening procedures require someone to be skilled in analysing blood samples by eye.
Early trials in Cameroon of the new approach have been successful and there are now plans to test it on 40,000 people.
Prof Fletcher told the BBC News website: "I'm excited, it offers a new higher-tech approach to dealing with very low-tech problems."
"There are drugs to treat many neglected tropical diseases, these are problems that should be solved, but there is not the technology to identify people who who need the right drugs."
It is hoped the same idea could be adapted to test for other infections such as TB, malaria and soil-transmitted parasitic worms or helminths, which include roundworm.
Prof Simon Brooker from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, commented: "I think it's one of the most fundamental advances in neglected tropical diseases in a long time."
"In the 21st Century we are using 20th Century technology to diagnose these infections, this brings us into the modern world.
"It really is exciting; when you see it you just go 'wow'; hopefully it will transform efforts to eliminate diseases," he added.
Lewis Faulkner, 25, collided with Tereasa Cutler's car on the A31 near Wimborne, Dorset, on 10 June last year.
Ms Cutler died at the scene. Her two children and her nephew, who she had recently adopted following her sister's death, were seriously injured.
Faulkner was jailed for four years and four months after admitting causing death by dangerous driving.
He also admitted causing death while uninsured and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Ms Cutler, 49, from Ringwood, Hampshire, had just been to the funeral of her sister, Patricia, and was driving to the wake with her two children, Daniel, then 16, and Alice, 18, and her nephew, Joe Woodland, aged 19.
According to police, Faulkner's BMW 3 Series hit Ms Cutler's Fiesta head-on at a bend.
Both he and his male passenger, 22, were also seriously injured in the crash.
Appearing at Bournemouth Crown Court, Faulkner was told he would serve half his sentence on licence.
He was also banned from driving for four years and eight months.
Faulkner, of Coburg Road, Dorchester, previously denied the charges but changed his plea to guilty on Monday morning.
Judge Peter Crabtree described it as a tragic case with catastrophic consequences.
A victim impact statement by Ms Cutler's daughter, Alice, said: "I feel vulnerable because I do not have my mum to comfort and guide me. Instead, all I have is a grave which provides me with little comfort. An accident like this changes you - you see the world differently."
Following the hearing, Sgt Lee Savage of Dorset Police said: "Alice and Daniel lost their much-loved mother and Joe lost an auntie who had just taken on parental responsibility for him following his own mother's death.
"This is one of the most heart-breaking cases I have dealt with and I would like to pay tribute to them for the strength they have shown throughout this tragic time."
It is understood the intruders opened a lock at the 531ft (162m) tower on Brighton seafront at 07:30 GMT.
A spokeswoman for sponsor British Airways i360 said: "We will be reviewing security levels with our contractors in light of this incident."
The tower, directly in front of the derelict West Pier, is still under construction.
Sussex Police said a group had broken in to the site via the King's Road arches.
Permanent security measures at the completed project will include high security walls, alarmed doors and CCTV.
"[These] will make breaches of this type become increasingly difficult," the BA i360 spokeswoman said.
The seafront viewing platform will open in the summer.
It comes as Polish-speaking pupils have overtaken the number of Bengali-speakers in schools in Wales.
One independent analyst fears a "significant loss of specialist expertise and support".
Ministers said despite tough times they were "proud" of increased funding going to schools.
The latest statistics for numbers of pupils in schools whose first language is not English or Welsh shows a 27% rise since 2011.
There are 3,421 Polish-speaking pupils, 575 more than Bengali-speakers.
But as the landscape in the types of languages spoken has shifted, so has the way specialist help for pupils is funded.
Since 2014, there has been a reduction in funding to support pupils learning English and Welsh as additional languages (EAL/WAL).
Then in April 2015, the Minority Ethnic Achievement Grant was merged with a number of other Welsh government grants into the more general Education Improvement Grant which is now managed by four consortia of local authorities.
The old funding arrangements, in place for nearly 50 years, have involved most local authorities employing a specialist central pool team of staff at councils to work in schools and assist pupils with language development and curriculum learning.
There are worries with money no longer ring-fenced by councils, that support could be cut back and the flexibility lost to respond to changes in pupil numbers and needs.
One independent analyst wants ministers to ensure that funding is protected and prioritised.
Dr Jonathan Brentnall says that almost 90% of schools in Wales now have at least one pupil of minority ethnic background on their rolls and many of these are additional language learners.
He says some schools have little or no past experience in meeting EAL/WAL pupils' needs and with less specialist expertise available they may struggle to do so.
While, particularly some urban schools are well established in teaching children with different language backgrounds, there is a danger that if more funding is delegated to school budgets, those with smaller numbers will not spend the resources on specialists and training that are most needed.
"Discussing with colleagues, there seems to be a tipping point of about 25-30% of EAL/WAL pupils on roll, when schools begin to see them as a priority," said Dr Brentnall.
"Schools with smaller numbers do not often regard EAL/WAL as a significant enough issue to prioritise it for whole school development," he warned.
Dr Brentnall, who once chaired the Welsh government's advisory group on ethnic and cultural diversity in education, said schools need to be aware that support for language development needs must go beyond the initial bedding-in period.
"It's not just about giving intensive language support for a few months. The process can take anything from five to 10 years for pupils to reach a level of proficiency that enables them to get to A* to Cs at GCSE. They need ongoing support in relation to grammar and vocabulary," he added.
"Some pupils are coming from war-torn countries like Iraq, Libya or Syria and have had their education disrupted. Such pupils may have a range of varied needs and it can take longer for them to catch up."
Kinga Kujawa came to Cardiff in 2007 and both her and her husband work full-time and have two sons born here.
Alex, five, speaks Polish at home and English at his Catholic primary school, which has several Polish-speaking pupils.
"He reads and writes in both languages," says Ms Kujawa. "We picked the school because we were told the head was fantastic and one-to-one help was there if needed but Alex was reading and writing by the age of four. We speak Polish to him but he watches English telly. After three or four months in reception class at school they classed him as more able and talented and so he was already doing some year one work."
"If he's running around playing with friends, it's English you can hear a lot."
Alex also goes to a Polish Saturday school across the city so he can continue to learn about his parents' native language and culture.
Dr Brentnall said with the right help, many have the work ethic to achieve at least as well as their peers.
The National Association for Language Development in the Curriculum (Naldic) said the issue was UK-wide and a joint survey with the NUT had found more than 50% of schools and councils had reported cutbacks or wholesale scrapping of EAL specialist provision.
"These cuts are a trend across the different nations in the UK," said chair Dr Yvonne Foley.
"Given the current discourses surrounding migration across the country, EAL is often positioned as a political and economic issue.
"As a result, funding for EAL pupils lacks political and economic importance and this has implications for our education system as a whole when we consider issues of equality, social justice and long-term social impact."
Last year, the education minister acknowledged funding was tight but called for councils to be innovative in continuing to look for improvements.
Head teachers in Cardiff have already written to him expressing concern.
The Welsh government said its new, simplified Education Improvement Grant allowed councils more flexibility to target resources at areas of greatest need and it was a "significant investment" when used efficiently and effectively .
A spokesperson added: "The new grant provides that flexibility for supporting learners from ethnic backgrounds and for whom neither English or Welsh is a first language by reducing bureaucracy and administration costs and enabling funding to be diverted into frontline support."
The festival at Whitby Pavilion featured fire breathing, cabaret and martial arts for Victorian gentlemen.
Organisers said the aim of the event - called Beyond The Sea - was "to welcome splendid people", and have fun.
Steampunk has been described as "nostalgia for what never was" and draws on a wide variety of influences from HG Wells to comics.
Strathspey Steam Railway plans to recreate part of a free celebratory train journey held in 1863 between Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey.
Grantown cannot be reached by train today, but on 3 August's anniversary a steam locomotive will pull a train from Aviemore as far as Broomhill.
Passengers wearing Victorian clothing will travel free.
The steam railway group runs locomotives along 10 miles (16km) of line between Aviemore and Broomhill.
It hopes to eventually add three more miles of track (4.8km) to reconnect Aviemore with Grantown-on-Spey.
The platform at Aviemore will be decorated for next weekend's anniversary celebrations.
The Earl of Dysart, Johnnie Grant, will send off the train.
John Davison, of Boat of Garten, is among the railway enthusiasts encouraging travellers to dress as Victorians by wearing a lum hat and tail coat.
Strathspey Steam Railway's publicity officer, Hendy Pollock, said: "I expect that participants who join in the 'spirit' of this celebratory event will have the most fun and have a very memorable day."
He suggested that people view internet footage of film director Danny Boyle's opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics for ideas on Victorian attire.
The ceremony featured actor Kenneth Branagh as Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Speaking at an international conference in Vietnam, Prince William said there was "much to be proud of" when it came to efforts to halt illegal poaching.
But he said the "brutality" of poachers and crime gangs was still escalating.
He called on the UK to pass a total ban on the domestic ivory trade, as has been done by China and the US.
While the international trade in ivory has been banned since 1989, it is still possible to sell antique ivory in the UK as long as it was carved before 1947.
The duke urged the UK government to push ahead with a total ban on the trade, in a bid to protect elephants.
"China has already signalled a total ban, the USA has instituted one, and other nations, including the United Kingdom, are considering it," he told the conference on illegal wildlife trade in Hanoi.
"We know now what previous generations did not - ivory treated as a commodity is the fuel of extinction.
"Ivory is not something to be desired and when removed from an elephant it is not beautiful.
"So, the question is: why are we still trading it? We need governments to send a clear signal that trading in ivory is abhorrent."
A Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokeswoman said the UK was doing "more than ever before" to tackle the illegal wildlife trade.
Prince William is on a two-day official visit to Vietnam to highlight the damage the illegal trade in wildlife has on some of the world's most iconic animals.
"We know that we aren't moving fast enough to keep up with the crisis. Rhinos, elephants, pangolins, lions, they are still being killed in horrifying numbers," he told the conference.
"While we've made progress, the truth is we are still falling behind. A betting man would still bet on extinction."
He said the "organised crime syndicates we are up against are much more agile than we are".
"We are getting cleverer, but we need to admit that they are getting much cleverer as well," the duke added.
"Their brutality continues to escalate, with many more rangers killed since we gathered in London two years ago."
In 2014, the UK hosted a summit in London to bring leaders and key figures together from around the world to focus on tackling the issue.
It resulted in the signing of the so-called London Declaration, strengthening a commitments to stop the illegal wildlife trade.

Officials say the country would instead rely on a new national donation system for organ transplants.
Prisoners account for two-thirds of China's transplant organs, according to previous estimates from state media.
Human rights groups say death row inmates are pressured to donate organs - China denies such allegations.
Correspondents say that China has long said it intends to reduce reliance on prisoners for organ donation, but the sheer volume of organs needed may make this difficult to achieve within the timeframe set out.
Official figures from the health ministry show that about 1.5 million people need transplants, but only 10,000 are performed annually, state-run agency Xinhua says.
Huang Jiefu, vice minister of health, was quoted by Xinhua as saying that a trial system for public organ donation has been launched in some areas.
"The pledge to abolish organ donations from condemned prisoners represents the resolve of the government," he said.
He added that organ donations from prisoners were not ideal because infections are usually high, affecting the long-term survival rates of those who undergo the transplants.
Rights groups estimate that China puts to death thousands of prisoners a year.
Official figures, however, remain a state secret, according to the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing.
He adds that the country faces a severe shortage of organ donors, partly because many people do not want to donate organs due to the cultural belief of that they should be buried whole.
This has led to a thriving black market. Officials outlawed organ trafficking five years ago, but it still remains a problem.
The Red Cross Society of China has also said that guidelines would be issued regarding financial aid to families of the deceased organ donors to help curb the illegal organ trade.
The firm, Infrastrata, has permission to drill an exploratory well for oil and gas within the catchment area for Woodburn Reservoir near Carrickfergus.
The proposed well head is about 400m from the reservoir.
Woodburn supplies 700 Belfast streets with drinking water.
Opponents claim the well could impact on the quality of the drinking water.
A Green Party motion calling for a review of the decision to allow the exploratory well was passed by 28 votes to 15.
It expressed concern that drilling would involve "harmful chemicals" and that no strategic environmental assessment had been carried out before permission was given for the work.
The company has been issued with an exploration licence by the Department of Enterprise.
The drilling was approved by the Department of the Environment under what are called permitted development rights, meaning it did not require planning permission.
Belfast City Council will now write to those ministers seeking a review of the decisions. It will also write to Mid and East Antrim Council within whose area Woodburn Reservoir sits.
Green party councillor Ross Brown, who proposed the motion, said the public "have not been granted permission to participate in a process where concerns about this activity could be aired and should have been discussed".
"This ought to be the very basis of what is required," he added.
"It is crucial that the most robust regulatory process is applied, especially given the fact that there are a wide range of studies which demonstrate that well casing leakage is a widespread and intractable problem.
"It has been estimated, for example that 5% of new wells leak in the first year and by 30 years, 60% suffer from leaks."
NI Water, which leased the land to Infrastrata for the exploratory well, has always said that it does not believe the work poses any threat to the public water supply.
In a statement, it said: "The safeguarding of water quality is of primary importance to NI Water and the company is satisfied that the proposed work will have no detrimental impact upon the impounding reservoir or the public water supply.
"However, no work will commence until NIEA and DETI are fully satisfied with all of Infrastrata's proposals and their impact on the wider environment."
The drilling project was dealt a blow earlier this month, when it emerged that Infrastrata's partner company had pulled out leaving a £2.8m hole in the project's finances.
The company said work could not proceed until it had closed the funding gap.
If Infrastrata does find oil and wants to extract it, it would then need to apply for full planning permission.
The Scottish Football Association has bid for Hampden Park to host three group games and one knock-out match.
A Uefa report highlighted a lack of "clarity", but praised Glasgow's transport links and hotel accommodation as "impressive".
The SFA say they have re-iterated to Uefa that the commercial requirement would be fulfilled "in its entirety".
Euro 2020 will be held in 13 countries, with England, Republic of Ireland and Wales also vying to host matches.
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and the Aviva Stadium have been proposed as venues while Wembley could host the final.
Glasgow recently hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games, with Hampden used to showcase athletics and the closing ceremony.
Uefa's executive committee will vote on the host cities on 19 September - the day after the Scottish independence referendum.
The possible outcomes of the referendum are acknowledged in Uefa's report.
It says the legal aspects of Scotland's bid "may have to be re-assessed" if the country becomes independent.
"Scotland being part of the UK, the legal situation is mostly - but not entirely - identical to that of England and Wales," the report adds.
Cardiff's bid gets a generally favourable evaluation report, but inspectors point out fans would have to use airports in Bristol or even London.
Dublin receives one of the best evaluation reports among all 19 bidders while Wembley's bid is generally positive and similar to that of main rival for the final, the Allianz Arena in Munich.
However, the proposed fan zone outside of central London is rated as only "satisfactory" and plans for fan zones in other English cities are "very weak".
Munich's fan zone proposal is rated as "attractive", but plans for fan zones in other German cities were also rated "weak".
Wembley is regarded as the favourite after the German FA announced it may not push hard for Munich in order to concentrate on a bid to host the entire Euro 2024 tournament.
The banking giant said it had told its 230 employees in Forth Valley that the service was moving to Edinburgh and Asia.
About 100 jobs will be relocated to Edinburgh, while 70 IT roles will move to India, China and Poland.
The move is part of a review of office space and part of the bank's programme to cut costs by the end of next year.
HSBC, which employs 3,700 people in Scotland, said 26 people would be retained at a smaller office in Stirling.
John Hackett, chief operating officer at the bank said: "As a global organisation, we constantly review roles to make sure they are in the right location.
"We will do all we can to support our colleagues through these changes, which will take place by the end of 2017."
King's College has acquired "the last great collection of Rupert Brooke manuscripts still in private hands".
The John Schroder Collection was bought for £500,000, mostly funded by a National Heritage Memorial Fund award.
They reveal he was "more interesting and difficult" than "the heroic image portrayed at the time of his death".
The poet, who was a student and Fellow at King's, died of septicaemia on his way to Gallipoli, on 23 April 1915.
The Schroder Collection includes 170 documents by Brooke, hundreds of letters from people connected with him and eyewitness reports of his death and burial on the Greek island of Skyros.
King's College Fellow Librarian, Peter Jones, said: "A much more complicated and rounded picture emerges when you can look at the manuscripts already at King's, alongside the Schroder Collection.
"We now know much more about Brooke and he is certainly more interesting and, in some ways more difficult, than the heroic image portrayed at the time of his death."
After his death, his friend Eddie Marsh published 1914 and Other Poems and it became "a huge literary event", selling 160,000 copies.
In 1918, he published a memoir of Brooke which sold more than 100,000 copies.
Mr Jones said: "Some of Rupert Brooke's family and closest friends... thought the picture that emerged from this heroic story was not true to the man.
"He had a major breakdown in 1912 and had disastrous relationships with the women who loved him."
The debate has ranged across the implications of Brexit for cross-border trade, the consequences of the political vacuum at Stormont and, rather less predictably, whether it is OK for one party leader to call another a "blonde".
In addition, the campaign has been interrupted twice as local politicians paid their respects to the victims of terror attacks in Manchester and London.
The March assembly election was a bruising experience for Arlene Foster, with Sinn Féin closing the gap on the DUP, and unionists losing their Stormont majority.
When the DUP kicked off its Westminster campaign, its leader appeared determined to maintain her discipline.
There was no repeat of the "crocodile" remarks which had energised Sinn Féin's base in the spring, and there was a charm initiative aimed at Irish language activists.
This seemed to indicate potential flexibility ahead of the talks due on the other side of polling day.
But others in the DUP quickly hardened the line against an Irish Language Act.
Then we had "Blondegate" - that unfortunate decision by the DUP leader to play a word association game about Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill with a reporter from the Sunday Independent.
When I talked to Michelle O'Neill for BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics, she seemed in unforgiving mood.
That applied both to the "blonde" comment and her party's red line on not sharing power with Mrs Foster until the inquiry into the Renewable Heat scandal has run its course.
"There are ways and means" she told me, for the DUP "to put forward someone who can go into an executive". So, no sign of pre-talks wriggle room there.
More recently, Mrs O'Neill has accused the DUP of setting its own preconditions - pointing to a series of tests for restoring Stormont included in the DUP manifesto.
Sinn Féin is piling its resources into places like Fermanagh South and Tyrone and South Down, where it hopes to make gains.
The DUP, likewise, is pushing hard in areas like South Antrim and South Belfast.
By contrast, the erstwhile official Stormont opposition appears in mortal danger, with both the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists under serious pressure across the board.
Hanging on to what they hold seems the height of their ambition.
The SDLP stresses that its MPs will take any seats they win and fight Brexit on the floor of the Commons, while the Ulster Unionists have also majored on the need for all constituencies to have representation, rather than electing abstentionist Sinn Féin MPs.
But perhaps wanting to avoid another "vote Mike, Get Colum" moment, the new Ulster Unionist leader, Robin Swann, avoided my invitation on Inside Politics to advise his supporters to back the SDLP in a seat like Foyle, where the UUP is not standing and Sinn Féin might run the SDLP close.
Mr Swann is so new to the UUP leader's job that no one is likely to call for him to go even if his party has a second bad election in a row.
But what about Colum Eastwood? In many ways the SDLP had a lucky assembly election in March, experiencing a slight fall in its vote yet hanging on to the same number of assembly members (MLAs).
But if the results of this election mirror that of the recent assembly contest, then the SDLP could be in big trouble in all three of its seats.
On a good day for Arlene Foster, the DUP might make gains at the expense of both the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists.
On a bad day, it could face a re-run of Alliance's 2010 upset, when Naomi Long unseated the then DUP leader Peter Robinson.
With no unionist pact operating in East Belfast this time, nothing can be taken for granted.
On a very bad day for the DUP, its current Westminster leader Nigel Dodds - who is benefiting from a pact - could be under pressure from Sinn Féin's new kid on the block, John Finucane.
Overall, the campaign in Northern Ireland has felt relatively lacklustre.
Given the Renewable Heat Incentive controversy, the resignation and death of Martin McGuinness, and the spring assembly election, it is perhaps hard for the politicians to sustain that level of intensity.
That said, like the March results, the Westminster count could prove dramatic.
Then it is back to Stormont Castle and the talks table where the balance of the negotiations will no doubt be influenced by the public's second verdict on their politicians in the space of three months. | Boris Johnson has said Britain could "prosper as never before" outside the European Union but was accused in an ITV debate of vying to be the next PM.

The rapist, who cannot be named as he was a minor at the time of the crime, was sentenced to a maximum three years in a reform facility in August 2013.
He was released from detention recently and is currently housed with a charity because of fears over his safety.
Under the current law, his detention cannot be extended, the court said.
Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, died after being brutally raped by six men on a moving bus in 2012, causing global outrage.
Four adult convicts in the case are appealing against death sentences. A fifth died in prison.
The release of the youngest convict has been opposed by many people, including the parents of Ms Singh.
In a last-ditch attempt to prevent his release, the Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal filed a petition in the Supreme Court late on Saturday night.
Second chance for rapist?

How life changed for victim's family
On Monday, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition, saying it "shared" the concern of most citizens but its hands were "tied" by the law.
"We share your concern but our hands are tied by the existing law. There has to be clear legislative sanction to extend the detention period beyond three years. Under the present law, detention cannot be extended beyond three years," the top court said.
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi says the Supreme Court order was a foregone conclusion - the convict had already served the maximum three year sentence under India's current laws dealing with juvenile crime and he cannot be kept in detention any longer.
Last week, a legal challenge by politician Subramanian Swamy to stop the release had also failed.
The Delhi high court ruled on the case on Friday, saying: "We agree it is a serious issue. But after 20 December, the juvenile cannot be kept at a special home per law."
Although the convict is now an adult, he has been handed over to a charity, where he will remain for at least two years.

In the normal course of events these remarks might have been dismissed as routine rhetoric. But on this occasion they reflect what are likely to be the priorities of the new king. For Saudi Arabia finds itself surrounded by challenges, external and internal.
The last thing that the ruling family needed at such a sensitive time was a messy succession process. So it moved with uncustomary speed to deal with a number of potentially contentious issues.
The immediate announcement that Salman's half-brother Prince Muqrin would step up from deputy crown prince to the position of heir to the throne resolved one of them.
There had been mounting speculation on social media and among Saudi Arabia analysts that the new king might favour his full brother Ahmed over Muqrin.
Then came the announcement that a new deputy crown prince had been named. He is the Interior Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the first of the younger generation of princes to step onto the ladder that leads up to the throne of Saudi Arabia.
The expectation was that the contentious decision of which of the younger princes should be given this honour would be postponed for as long as possible. Suddenly it has happened.
Clearly not all senior Saudis will be happy with the turn of events. Prince Ahmed himself must now know that he will never be king.
The sons of the late King Abdullah had looked well-placed to be leading candidates for the post of deputy crown prince - head of the National Guard Prince Mitaib in particular had been mentioned as a favourite.
But the differences of opinion within Al Saud will continue to be resolved in private and will not be allowed to undermine the solidarity of the family as a whole in a way that might threaten the kingdom's stability.
For maintaining security will be King Salman's chief priority. Hundreds of young Saudis have fought with Islamic State (IS) and are returning home inspired by jihadist ideology.
The policy of trying to prevent them carrying out attacks within Saudi Arabia will be accompanied by an intensified strategy of encouraging Islamic preachers and the teaching profession to warn young Saudis of the dangers of signing up to IS beliefs.
As part of the process of battening down the hatches King Salman is likely to be less inclined than Abdullah in seeking to intervene in the region's trouble spots.
While the kingdom will continue to support the Syrian opposition, for example, it might now look more favourably than in the past on initiatives that include a transitional solution that sees some members of the Assad regime remaining in power.
Likewise in Iraq, King Salman will remain committed to the anti-IS coalition but will also stand by Abdullah's refusal to commit troops there. The view among Saudi leaders is that the chief task of the armed forces is to protect the country's borders.
Indeed extra forces are likely to be sent to the southern border with Yemen. The recent rapid expansion of the Houthis, allegedly with support from Iran, at the expense of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, is of increasing concern to the kingdom.
Then there is the continuing danger stemming from al-Qaeda activity in Yemen.
On the domestic front one should not expect major changes. King Salman is believed to be less in favour than his predecessor of political and social reform.
He is not likely to undermine the measures of the late king, but it would be a major surprise if women won the right to drive during the Salman monarchy.
Nor should one expect changes in policy that would appease critics of Saudi Arabia's human rights performance.
The elderly king will not be interested in risking a clash with the powerful religious establishment by trying to persuade them to agree to such amendments to Islamic law as would be necessary to make such changes.
A question mark hangs over the kingdom's oil policy. Will Saudi Arabia continue with its controversial policy of refusing to lower production - a move that has led to the global price collapsing?
The confirmation of Petroleum Minister Ali Naimi in his post suggests that it will. The longer that Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters can live with low prices, the thinking in Riyadh goes, the tougher the conditions will be for the North American shale oil and gas industry which is eating away at OPEC's market share.
So, some major changes and surprises have been seen at the top. But the underlining message seems to be that for Saudi Arabia under King Salman it will be pretty much business as usual - as long as the leadership succeeds in protecting the kingdom "from all evils".

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

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

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

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

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

Ibrahimovic, 35, was released in June after not being offered a new contract following a season-ending knee injury.
The former Sweden international has been recovering from surgery at United's training ground and is expected to be fit again in December.
"He wants more at football's highest level," said Mourinho.
"So we are having conversations and we are discussing the possibility of him staying with us for the second part of the season."
Ibrahimovic signed a one-year deal in July 2016 and scored 28 times in 46 games in all competitions for United before suffering knee-ligament damage in April in the Europa League win over Anderlecht.
"He's injured, he needs time to recover," added Mourinho.
"He was very clear by showing that what he did last year was not enough for him - he thinks he can do more."
Manchester United start their Premier League campaign against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday, with kick-off at 16:00 BST.
Damien Anthony McMahon told officers he had run into the property after being chased by four men threatening to shoot him, Belfast Crown Court heard.
The judge said his story was "nonsense" and "completely stupid".
McMahon, 25, of Fianna House, Belfast, will spend 12 of his 30-month sentence in jail and 18 months on licence.
He admitted a single charge of burglary with intent to steal.
Police responded to reports of an incident at a house in Stratheden Street in north Belfast in June 2013, the court heard.
Upon arrival, officers found copper piping in the hall and when they discovered McMahon hiding in the attic, he was "crying and shaking" as he told them he was taking refuge there.
A defence barrister said McMahon "fully accepts responsibility for what he had done".
Passing sentence, the judge told McMahon that after being "caught red-handed", he had made up a "completely stupid story which could not be believed by anybody".
Three former air ambulance helicopters will begin dropping 100 million poisonous pellets in a bid to eradicate brown rats from the island.
The rats, which first arrived in the 18th Century as stowaways on sealing ships, are a threat to native species.
The three-month mission is the second phase of a four-year project.
The first phase saw successful extermination of brown rats from a much smaller portion of South Georgia in 2011; the second aims to clear more than half of the remaining area.
Brown rats are an "invasive species" in South Georgia, and with no natural predators on the island the population exploded soon after their arrival.
Now their appetite for the eggs and chicks of ground-nesting birds such as the South Georgia pipit and pintail is threatening the survival of these endemic species.
The helicopters will criss-cross the island, distributing the bait pellets with mathematical precision to cover each and every square metre.
Every single rat must be eradicated for the programme to be a success, said project leader Prof Tony Martin from the University of Dundee, who spoke to BBC News before setting off.
"Killing 99.999% is a failure. If we don't get every last one, we may as well not have gone there in the first place," he said.
"We have to eradicate, not control, them."
Clearing an entire island of an invasive species is hugely ambitious but the terrain of South Georgia allows the team to work in stages. Glaciers, which the rodents will not travel across, cover much of the island - meaning that the rat colonies live in isolated pockets and can be tackled separately.
But time is of the essence. The glaciers are retreating and if the separate colonies are allowed to mingle, eradication will become much more difficult.
So far Prof Martin's team have faced gale-force winds and blizzards, but with the weather improving they are reported to be ready to resume the largest-ever species eradication project.
Russia has avoided a blanket ban by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from this month's Rio Games.
Individual sports' governing bodies must decide if competitors are clean and more than 250 Russian athletes have so far been cleared to compete.
"I would be looking at my own individual performance," Jackson said.
"Unless people have been proven, by their dope tests and by their dope samples, then I wouldn't waste my time and effort accusing athletes of being on drugs.
"The athletes won't think that way when they are competing," added the 49-year-old Welshman, who was a silver medallist at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
"The sport is very much an individual sport in the world of athletics and you will be focused on your individual performance."
The Olympics begin in Brazil on Friday but without Russia's track and field team, who were banned by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had recommended all Russian competitors be banned after its independently commissioned report found evidence of a four-year "doping programme" across the "vast majority" of Olympic sports.
The IOC stopped short of applying a blanket ban and said individual sports' governing bodies must decide if Russian competitors are clean.
But the IOC says a three-person panel will have the final say on which Russians can compete at the Rio Games.
It says the newly convened panel "will decide whether to accept or reject that final proposal".
Jackson acknowledged the scandal had cast a shadow over the Games.
"They're always under scrutiny because of the problems that Russia have caused," Jackson told BBC Radio Four's Today programme.
"This problem does start from Russia basically cheating in our sport and taking away the value of our sports and also the desires and aspirations of young athletes.
"For me it's very frustrating that the athletes are continuously hearing these stories because it's not what they want to hear just before they go into major championships."
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared a YouTube clip of a hillwalker describing rubbish left in a remote location as "absolute filth".
And one of two volunteers who looks after Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru has told of taking four hours to sort through and burn waste left there.
Neil Reid said hillwalkers have to be willing to pick up litter they find.
In the YouTube clip the hillwalker shows a plastic bag of half empty yoghurt pots and other food waste he found in a "very remote spot in the Cairngorms".
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared the clip on Twitter.
In a blog on UKHillwalking.com, Mr Reid said it was not good enough to "tut" at the recklessness of others and said people should be prepared to collect rubbish they find and take it off the hills.
But he added that setting up some form of "bothy vigilante patrol" as suggested by one of the blog's followers was not an answer.
Both the YouTube clip and blog feature strong language, with both the hillwalker and Mr Reid expressing frustration about the waste being left in the Cairngorms.
Mr Reid signed off his blog saying: "It's not enough just not leaving your own rubbish; let's make it socially unacceptable for others to leave rubbish too.
"And if they go ahead and leave it anyway? Then just pick it up.
"Whether the real culprit is there or not. Pick it up and become part of the answer, or turn a blind eye and be part of the problem. It's that simple."
Littering has been a problem in Scotland's hills, and other upland areas of the UK.
Last month, a catheter bag was among items of rubbish found by volunteers doing litter-picks on the slopes of Britain's highest mountains.
A total of 88 people were involved in the clean up of Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales and England's Scafell Pike.
More than 24 stone (153kg) of litter was collected from Ben Nevis alone.
In August, conservationists said they hoped a problem with human waste being left on the summit of the UK's second highest mountain had gone away.
RSPB Scotland and National Trust for Scotland raised concerns in October last year that the faeces on Ben Macdui posed a potential health risk.
The RSPB said there had been no incidents of irresponsible toileting detected since last year.
The two charities own the 4,295ft (1,309m) mountain.
Twenty-one people were killed on 21 November 1974 when two bombs exploded in bars in the city's centre.
Michael Hayes told the BBC last week that he took "collective responsibility" for the IRA's actions.
West Midlands Police has written to the BBC to request the full interview.
The force's Chief Constable Dave Thompson told a meeting of the West Midlands Policing and Crime Board on Tuesday that comments by Hayes screened in a BBC documentary had been "carefully reviewed".
"Our approach is where new facts come to light they are scrutinised to see if people can be brought to justice," Mr Thompson said.
"We have written to the BBC requesting the full footage to enable us to assess the full interview as part of our evidential process.
"Michael Hayes is outside the UK and a decision on what additional action can be taken will be assessed by the Crown Prosecution Service."
Mr Thompson added that while the police inquiry is not active it has not been closed and the victims' families will be kept informed.
The BBC said it had received the police request for the interview and "will consider it in accordance with our editorial guidance and policies for requests of this nature".
No-one has been brought to justice for the double attack, which was one of the worst single losses of life during the Troubles.
Six men - known as the Birmingham Six - were wrongfully convicted of the murders and spent 17 years in jail before they were released in 1991 when their convictions were quashed.
In last week's interview with BBC News NI reporter Kevin Magee, Hayes said he had been in the IRA for more than 30 years and was "a participant in the IRA's activities in Birmingham".
The 69-year-old, who lives in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, said two people planted the bombs in the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern In The Town, although he refused to say who they were.
He also issued an apology to the families of the victims, adding: "My heartfelt sympathy to all of you for a terrible tragic loss that you have been put through."
That was rejected by one woman whose 18-year-old sister was killed in the attack.
Julie Hambleton described the former IRA man as "gutless and spineless" and said his apology was offensive.
Hayes said he was speaking out to give "the point of view of a participant".
When asked if he had planted the gelignite explosives, he replied: "I'm not telling you."
Hayes said he had been arrested and questioned in 1974 by West Midlands Police about the Birmingham bombings, but was released.
Birmingham MPs have called for Hayes to be extradited and face questioning by police.
Inquests into the deaths of the 21 victims are due to resume later this year.
Cash the dog's expert nose uncovered €286,000 ($303,000/£247,000), the government announced following an anti-drug service raid last week.
First, he led his handlers to a man concealing €50,000 on his person, before picking out a piece of luggage containing a further €236,000.
The money was confiscated and the two men have been arrested.
Under Luxembourg's laws, they were meant to declare that they were carrying more than €10,000 in cash, a government press release explained.
It was not revealed why the men were carrying so much cash, or where they had come from or were travelling to.
The helicopter was carrying fire-fighters returning to their base when it crashed into a street near an apartment complex, Yonhap reported.
A female high school student was slightly injured by shrapnel.
Eleven people are still missing in the wake of the 16 April ferry disaster.
The fire-fighters had been involved in the search operations for the last remaining passengers since Monday, reports said.
Yonhap quoted witnesses of Thursday's accident as saying that they saw the helicopter catch fire before nose-diving into the street.
"A plume of black smoke rose with a loud bang," said an unnamed witness. "I thought it was thunder and lightning."
The cause of the accident is still unknown and officials are investigating.
The sinking of the Sewol killed more than 300 people, most of whom were students.
The incident triggered widespread grief and anger at the government, which has promised to overhaul its bureaucracy and improve emergency response.
Several protests have been held in Seoul in recent days calling for an independent inquiry to be swiftly conducted.
The latest was on Wednesday when more than 30 student survivors together with their parents marched on South Korea's National Assembly in Seoul.
Their march from their high school to the building attracted hundreds of citizens who walked together with them, according to AFP news agency.
Some clutched placards with slogans such as "Truth never sinks!".
A bill that would set up an independent inquiry is currently stuck in parliament because of a split over the legal foundation.
Two separate trials, one for the ferry's captain and crew, and another for the head of the ferry operator and other company officials, began last month.
Armstrong, 19, has scored three goals in 14 league appearances for the Tykes since signing on 30 August.
The England Under-20 international spent last season on loan at Coventry, scoring 20 times in 40 appearances.
Meanwhile, midfielder Romal Palmer, 18, has signed his first professional contract with the club.
Palmer, who has yet to make a senior appearance, has agreed an 18-month deal.
Holyrood's Public Audit Committee previously heard how seven staff received payouts totalling £849,842.
Auditor General Caroline Gardner said she believed the chair of the board and the principal had worked together and withheld concerns over the payments.
Both have been invited to appear before the Public Audit Committee.
It has not been confirmed if they will accept the invitation.
In June, the auditor general issued a highly-critical report of the severance deals paid out before the college become part of New College Lanarkshire last year.
New College Lanarkshire was formed by a merger of Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge Colleges.
In her report, Ms Gardner stated that a total of 39 staff left from the former Coatbridge College at a cost of £1.7m.
Of this, £849,842 of this went on seven staff - former college principal John Doyle, a member of his staff and five senior managers.
Ms Gardner said in her report that the senior staff received payments "that exceeded the terms of the college's severance scheme".
When the report was discussed by Holyrood's Public Audit Committee last month, MSP Nigel Don said the case was a "particularly bad example of misuse of funds, deliberate withholding of information and of feathering one's own nest".

Welbeck marked his first start in eight months with a brace as the Gunners beat Southampton 5-0 on Saturday to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The former Manchester United striker, 26, missed much of last season through injury and only returned to action this January following another setback.
"He's worked very hard," said Wenger.
"He went through some moments of very deep disappointment. Because when he had the setback and he had to go in again, as a professional player that's very difficult.
"I wondered if he be solid enough mentally to cope with that. But he became even more resilient and worked even harder."
Welbeck was making only his fourth appearance of the season against Southampton after suffering knee cartilage damage in a 2-2 draw with Manchester City on 8 May last year.
He looked sharp from the outset and put Arsenal in control with two cool finishes inside the first 22 minutes.
Welbeck then set up Arsenal's third with a cutback for Walcott, who scored a hat-trick.
"It was good to see Welbeck be so convincing," added Wenger.
"I didn't expect him at that level, because I knew he worked very hard but I didn't know how much efficiency it would be in a competitive game.
"There are always two fears: the first is that it takes him too long with decision-making, and second that he would be scared for contact.
"But the runs and also fighting the defenders, it was important for me."
Welbeck has made 38 appearances for Arsenal since signing from Manchester United in September 2014.
The measures, announced on Sunday by Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, include an overnight curfew.
She said they were targeting what she called "hot spots" as part of efforts to tackle "wanton acts of lawlessness".
The opposition said it was a "panic response" by the government.
The declaration of emergency rule in six areas in Trinidad, which will last 15 days, came after the country saw 11 murders in just a couple of days.
Ms Persad-Bissessar said the killings were a reaction by drug gangs to recent major seizures by the police of consignments worth millions of dollars.
"These large sums of money simply do not disappear from the drug trade without consequences," she said.
The aim of emergency rule was to halt the current spike in gang activity and crime in general in the shortest possible time, the prime minister said in a televised address.
"The nation will not be held to ransom by marauding gangs of thugs bent on creating havoc on our society. The limited state of emergency in hot spots across Trinidad and Tobago is merely part of a larger aggressive reaction response by the government."
The measures include a 21:00 to 05:00 overnight curfew, as well as increased powers for police to conduct searches and make arrests.
Opposition leader Keith Rowley said the measure showed that the government had no plans to deal with rising crime.
"Our initial thought is that this is a panic response which has not been the product of any serious deliberations," he told local radio.
The measures took effect after being approved by President George Maxwell Richards..
He was due to take up the post of first vice-president, a key part of the peace process aimed at ending more than two years of civil war.
Mr Machar fled Juba at the start of the conflict in December 2013.
More than two million people have been displaced and tens of thousands killed in the fighting.
Africa Live: BBC News updates from the continent
Rebel spokesman William Ezekiel told journalists waiting for Mr Machar at Juba's airport that the trip had been postponed until Tuesday.
He said that the rebels were still committed to the peace process.
Shane Lay, 42, was walking his dog in Bridge Street, Bungay, at 01:40 BST on Friday when he was hit by a Nissan Qashqai.
He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital and died on Saturday night.
Suffolk Police said they are still seeking the driver and released CCTV images of Mr Lay, of Loddon Street, Broome. His dog was unhurt.
Insp David Giles said they had received a number of calls but wanted the driver to come forward.
"We are following up on information provided to date and are working to identify the person who was behind the wheel at the time of the collision.
"It is in their interests to come forward as soon as possible."
Officers are also keen to speak to anyone with details about a Qashqai that may have sustained front-end damage or anyone aware of such a car being driven in Bungay at the time.
Scott Hogan slotted in Villa's opener after U's keeper Sam Walker fumbled.
The hosts had an early chance to level after Christopher Samba took out Sammie Szmodics in the box, but Mikael Mandron's drilled penalty was saved.
Frankie Kent then inadvertently turned in Albert Aldomah's cross, before the United defender made it 2-1 at the other end shortly before half-time.
Colchester pushed for a leveller after the break but missed several chances as Villa - who made nine changes to their starting side after their league draw with Hull - held on to progress.
Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce: "The conditions were tough and we had a makeshift back four, so it was always going to be difficult.
"Jed (Steer) pulled off two or three very good saves and I'm delighted for him, because he's worked really hard to get back.
"He ruptured his Achilles in my first week at the club but he's a very decent goalkeeper and he got his rewards.
"You wouldn't send a lifeboat out in those conditions and I've never known anything like it for an August evening. It was unbelievable.
"We made too many mistakes but thankfully got away with it."
Colchester head coach John McGreal: "We showed a togetherness tonight, even after their first goal had gone in which came out of nothing.
"We bounced back straight away and showed a bit of character but then it went to 2-0 and we could have crumbled.
"But we bounced back again and I'm really proud of the players. The fans were on their feet at times and it was one of those games.
"We missed a penalty but that happens and we had opportunities after that when we got into good areas. It was great experience and a great game to watch - we can take a lot of heart and confidence out of the performance."

Music City Foundation, which is behind the proposed buyout, said it wanted to "buy back the festival for the people".
It said it had been given until mid-June to raise the money, and then the proposal would go before the Tramlines board.
Festival director Sarah Nulty said the board had "agreed in principle to the offer" subject to shareholder approval.
The event began in 2009 and last year attracted more than 100,000 people.
Winston Hazel, director of the not-for-profit Music City Foundation (MCF), said it hoped to take over the running of the festival in 2018.
He said he was concerned that if the festival were to be sold to a private investor, it could be relocated out of the city centre.
"We want to ensure that Tramlines continues to support our vibrant culture while also contributing to the city's economic success," he said.
The group is asking people to buy shares packages for between £200 and £10,000.
Ms Nulty said: "The Tramlines board agreed in principle to the offer made by the Music City Foundation, although it was very clear throughout discussions that Tramlines was not for sale.
"The board is not made up of all shareholders and so any proposal will need to be agreed by them if a bid was to be successful."
She said she was disappointed that MCF had released details of "a possible sale of this magnitude" without consulting shareholders.
She added: "There are no changes to the 2017 event and we're all very excited to deliver yet another fantastic festival, with our biggest line-up yet."
Tramlines was named Best UK Metropolitan Festival at the 2011 UK Festival Awards.
The Anglo-Australian commodities firm reported an annual net loss of $6.4bn (£5bn) for the year to 30 June.
The global mining sector has seen years of weak demand attributed largely to slowing growth in China.
BHP results were also hit by costs after the Samarco mining disaster in Brazil, which killed 19 people.
The record losses come after the company had reported a $1.9bn net profit.
"While commodity prices are expected to remain low and volatile in the short to medium term, we are confident in the long-term outlook for our commodities, particularly oil and copper," chief executive Andrew Mackenzie said in a statement.
Underlying earnings for the past year, which strip out one-off costs, came in at $1.22bn.
The financial fallout from the Samarco mining tragedy is still not clear though warns James Butterfill, head of research & investment strategy at ETF Securities.
"There's a huge uncertainty overhang," he told the BBC. "The report hasn't been published with regard to the Samarco dam collapse and there's currently a $48bn lawsuit. It's unrealistic to be that amount, but this is really BHP's Macondo well incident theoretically that BP endured."
The company also slashed its payout, setting a final dividend of 30 cents, compared with 62 cents last year. That follows BHP's decision in February to abandon its previous dividend policy, where shareholders were given gradually higher payouts.
The difficult market situation led global ratings agency Standard & Poor's to downgrade BHP's rating from A+ to A earlier this year.
However, with regard to the slump in the commodities market, the outlook is expected to improve.
Michael McCarthy, an analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney, told the BBC: "There are signs in the commodity prices - and in particular for iron ore and oil - that they have stabilised.
"The demand might be edging back to equilibrium again and that's good news for the longer term for BHP shareholders."
BHP Billiton is one of the world's largest producers of major commodities including iron ore, metallurgical coal, copper and uranium, and has substantial interests in both conventional and shale oil and gas and energy coal.
BHP was founded in the mid-1800s in Australia, while Billiton's roots can be traced back to a tin mine in Indonesia in 1851. The Anglo-Dutch company merged with BHP in 2001 to form a global mining giant.

However, the UK is experiencing a modest boom in its production, with the number of sites pumping it into the national grid rising more than nine-fold in the space of a year.
Just outside Dorchester in Dorset in south west England, a huge white dome rises out of the ground on land. In the barn opposite, cows are grazing, their heads bobbing in and out of feeding troughs.
This is part farm, part industrial estate, with the focus less on livestock, and more on generating energy.
The dome is part of an anaerobic digestion plant which makes some electricity, but mostly gas pumped straight into the pipelines which feed our homes and businesses.
When it started production in 2012, it was the first commercial facility of its kind in the country. Now it is one of dozens.
It feeds on leftover food collected from pubs and restaurants in London, and delivered by tanker down to Dorset. But that is not all.
"We are taking energy crops that we grow on land around the plant," the farmer and business director, Nick Finding, told the BBC.
In front of us, piles of maize and rye chopped up like sawdust can be seen in two large hoppers. Potato waste is also used from a plant in nearby Weymouth.
"What we are doing is putting it into a fermenting process to create biogas which generates electricity to run the plant," says Mr Finding, adding that the surplus is used to supply around 500 homes with power.
"We're getting the methane cleaned out of the biogas to be injected as biomethane into the grid."
The process is a bit like composting only without oxygen. Bacteria produce the methane as they digest or break down the crops and food slurry.
That means, unlike natural gas, this is not a fossil fuel.
"It does release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere but we're just forming part of a cycle," says Ciaran Burns from the Renewable Energy Association.
"The plants that are used to make food waste and such when they grow they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
"Then when we use them to create and burn biomethane we are just releasing the CO2 that was captured when those plants were growing. We're not actually contributing any extra CO2 to the atmosphere."
The site in Dorset is operated by JV Energen - a joint venture between the Duchy of Cornwall and three farmers.
It was set up to provide renewable energy to Poundbury, an urban extension of Dorchester built on land belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall.
It means Prince Charles has taken a keen interest in the project, performing its official opening in November 2012.
The plant makes money from government subsidies for renewable energy, and by selling the gas and electricity it generates. By now it was expected to be in profit but it's not.
"It's just about breaking even. I think it's very successful," says Nick, pointing out how many other developers have followed their lead.
In 2013 there were just two other plants in the UK injecting biomethane into the gas grid. By 2014 that figure had risen to 28 according to the Renewable Energy Association (REA), and 50 are expected to be operational by the end of this year.
"Germany is leading the way," says the REA's Ciaran Burns. "Netherlands and Austria are relatively well established, but the UK is the fastest growing market for the development of biomethane plants."
The environmental campaign group, Friends of the Earth, says green gas can be a "genuinely sustainable and low carbon source of energy when it is captured from landfill sites or produced from agricultural wastes".
But it is worried about other means of production.
"Over half of the feedstock used for biogas production in Europe in 2012 came from agricultural crops; in particular maize," it says.
"This practice competes with food production and has already led to large scale land-use change in countries like Germany leading to so-called 'maize deserts'.
"Such industrial-scale maize monocultures are bad for wildlife and particularly prone to soil erosion and flooding."
In Dorset, the maize comes from land used to grow different things from one year to the next. One of the UK's newest sites in Newcastle upon Tyne uses no crops at all. Instead it relies entirely on what we flush down the loo.
"Northumbrian Water has a catchphrase we have developed around power from pooh," says Richard Warneford, the company's Wastewater Director.
"This is around taking the sewage sludge from all of the sewage treatments works and ultimately generating gas or electricity at the end of the process."
It is not the first water company in the UK to generate energy from human waste, but it does claim to be the biggest.
All of the sludge from its more than 400 sewage treatment works is used to make power - either electricity but now also biomethane going straight into the gas grid.
It has cost over £40m pounds in investment, but Mr Warneford expects the business to make £3m a year.
"This is a waste product that would otherwise have been a problem to get rid of, but for us now we see it as a fuel."
According to official estimates there are 65,000 of them - one for every 30 residents of the Romanian capital.
But this situation is about to change, if the government gets its way. Or, if a growing number of alarmed international protesters get theirs, it will not.
The government wants the dogs rounded up and, if not claimed within two weeks, put down.
While this proposal has plenty of support in Romania, protests have rapidly spread around the world, with critics deploring the impending "massacre".
There have been demonstrations outside Romanian embassies in some European capitals, and celebrities like Brigitte Bardot and Pamela Anderson have made forceful representations against the law.
This outside interference has incensed supporters of the law, who say "animal lovers" - used partly as a term of abuse - are distorting the truth by, in some cases, disseminating pictures showing cruelty against stray dogs taken in other countries, while claiming to originate from Romania.
Stray dogs are nothing new for Bucharest or for Romania in general but the canine population has grown, especially since former communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ordered in the 1980s the demolition of vast areas of houses in Bucharest and other cities, and their replacement with concrete blocks of flats, forcing the owners to abandon their dogs.
Attacks are frequent: in the first eight months of 2013, almost 10,000 people in Bucharest were treated for dog bites by the Matei Bals Institute for Infectious Diseases.
In some cases, stray dogs have killed people. One of the most infamous incidents resulted in the death of a Japanese tourist in Bucharest in 2006.
But the incident which led to an explosion of popular anger was the mauling to death of a four-year-old boy, Ionut Anghel, by a pack of stray dogs on a private plot in northern Bucharest, on 2 September.
"It took this tragedy to wake me up to the fact that there are dogs on the streets," says Nadine Apostolescu, a well-known singer and dog owner herself, who is the public face of the campaign to remove stray dogs.
"Now, after 20 years when nothing was done, I took to the streets as a mother and a citizen to protest against this situation."
Demonstrations followed and parliament quickly adopted a bill, dormant for more than three years, which provides for the destruction of captured stray dogs by "humane methods" as a last resort, after 14 working days.
It also introduces mandatory registration for dogs and harsher penalties for owners who abandon their animals.
But critics complain that, besides potentially triggering a massacre of stray dogs, the law will not solve the problem in the long term, as it does not tackle the issue of uncontrolled breeding.
"The likelihood is that only tame strays will be captured, as the authorities lack the resources to capture the most aggressive ones, which will continue to breed and the problem will only get worse," says Ovidiu Rosu, a vet with the animal charity Vier Pfoten (Four Paws).
He also points out that lots of Romanians are in the habit of feeding stray dogs, which is likely to encourage their continued survival.
On both sides of the argument there is a consensus that stray dogs have no place on the streets.
Dog-lovers want a sterilisation programme instead, and more investment in dog shelters and adoption. These ideas have had only limited success in the past.
Language has become a key point of contention. Opponents object to the law's reference to "euthanasia", saying most stray dogs are healthy animals and this is not an act of mercy killing, but a "massacre".
Supporters liken the packs of stray dogs to a "plague of wild animals".
Opinion polls suggest supporters outnumber the opponents - by as much as 70% to 30%.
Bucharest's mayor, Sorin Oprescu, has promised that 80% of stray dogs will be removed within a year - half of these, apparently, by adoption.
He refused to elaborate on what method would be used to kill those dogs which are not adopted. A lethal injection seems most likely.
Whatever the outcome, in the end the question still lingers: if Romania has been unable to control its stray dog population for the past 20 years - be it through lack of political will or through corrupt diversion of funding - what is the guarantee that it will manage to do so in future, once the anger generated by the tragic death of an infant mauled by stray dogs starts to subside?
This is the full statement to the inquests from his mother, Betty Almond:
Anthony Peter Kelly was born on 12 August 1959. He was aged 29 when he died.
I gave birth to a baby boy prematurely on 12 August 1959. He was very small, weighing less than 2lbs.
Profiles of all those who died
He was christened straight away. He was named Anthony Peter Kelly.
He was a very sickly baby, but he pulled through everything that hit him.
Finally, he was well enough to come home; it was a day we thought we would never see.
Tony and I were so happy. Anthony grew into a grand lad.
He went to school and was so happy to be with other boys and girls. He had a lot of friends.
Anthony's dad was a big motorbike fan. Anthony would help him and soon learned which spanner to use for different things.
He made a bicycle for himself out of spare parts from a scrap yard.
He played football at school. He also had a flair for cartoons. He was very good at drawing them.
When he was 18, he went into the army. We were so proud of our son.
When he came out of the army, he did various jobs. He liked playing darts. He also loved music and football, of course.
I miss him so much. Anthony was our only child. Hillsborough should never have happened.

The article was about a police raid on militants in Dhaka.
A BBC spokesman said it had been sent by mistake by a World Service reporter and was taken down minutes later.
He added: "It was literally a human error and it has been corrected."
The BBC later tweeted: "Apologies to anyone who received a breaking news alert from our Bengali service. Don't worry, we weren't hacked".
There are currently about 450 police volunteers in Wales, but more will be recruited by 2020.
The Association of Special Constabulary Chief Officers (ASCCO) said specials often had skills from their day jobs to help in areas such as cyber crime.
North Wales Police hopes to recruit an extra 100 special constables by 2020.
The other Welsh police forces are also increasing their numbers, although they have not given themselves a target.
Special constables are fully-trained frontline officers who can respond to 999 calls.
Ian Miller, chairman of the ASCCO, denied more specials were being recruited due to police cuts, saying they added value to policing.
"I think by increasing the number of specials, it gives resilience to police forces with the security threat," he said.
"There's an advantage in being able to call on fully qualified people to provide an additional resource during times of need."
Mark Owen, chief officer for North Wales Police's Special Constabulary, said the Manchester terror attack proved how invaluable specials were.
"A lot of special constables in north Wales turned up for duty without anybody asking them following the attack," he said.
"They knew officers were going to help in Greater Manchester so they came in, put their coats on and went out on the streets of north Wales. It gives us that flexible workforce."
Special constables have been working alongside paid police officers in England and Wales for the past 185 years.
In addition to their regular jobs, they must carry out at least 16 hours of police work a month - although many do much more - and have the power to arrest people.
Some work as specialist officers, such as with the the road safety unit or fighting rural crime, while others are recruited for knowledge obtained in their regular jobs to help in the fight against cyber crime and fraud.
North Wales Police - which has 188 special constables - held a recruitment event in Llandudno on Saturday to coincide with National Specials weekend.
Recruitment is a big issue for the police forces, as many special constables go on to join the police service as paid officers, leaving vacancies.
Gwent Police and South Wales Police have recently taken on more specials, taking both of their totals to 108.
Dyfed-Powys Police is also recruiting in the coming months to add to its 89 specials.
Officers include people who are cyber experts, mental health nurses, doctors, managers and accountants in their regular jobs.
Cairn Newton-Evans, chief officer for Dyfed-Powys Police's Special Constabulary and the Welsh representative for ASCCO, decided to become a special after he was the victim of a violent homophobic attack in his hometown of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, in 2008.
"I thought maybe I could try and stop anyone else from going through what I had," said Mr Newton-Evans, who also works in retail and is studying for a degree in law and public services.
"You're giving up your own time and you're not getting paid. You have to really want to do it and make a difference to your community.
"I'm proud I don't get paid - I'm doing it to make people feel safe."
The Aldi store in Prestatyn was targeted at about 1941 GMT on Monday by two men, who escaped with cash.
A search of the area by helicopter and by the North Wales Police dog section failed to find anything.
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 if in Wales, 0845 6071001 (Welsh language) or 0845 6071002 (English).
Police said one of the men remained by the store's door while the other pushed a member of staff and took cash from the till.
The first offender is between 5ft 8ins (173cm) and 5ft 10 ins (178cm) tall and slim, was wearing a hooded top and had his face covered.
The second man was slim and was believed to have been wearing a hooded top, had his socks tucked over his tracksuit bottoms and was wearing black trainers.

Folkestone beat off rival bids from Hastings and Brighton to host the event in May as part of Culture24's Connect 10 Museums at Night Festival weekend.
The three seaside towns staged a series of publicity stunts in their bids to win the competition.
The photographer said he hoped those taking part would have a great time and that he would not be arrested.
George's House Gallery in Folkestone was up against Hastings' Jerwood Gallery and Brighton's Royal Pavilion and Museums in the competition to host the photoshoot by Tunick.
In January about 30 Hastings residents took part in a nude flash mob on a wet and windy beach in their bid to attract the photographer to the East Sussex town.
But the Folkestone bid's online campaign featuring residents holding up signs reading "I'm ready for Spencer!" - including a placard with the logo placed next to the statue of a mermaid in the town's harbour - apparently proved more eye-catching.
Mr Tunick said: "I have no idea what the folks of Folkestone look like, I have no idea what the streets are like.
"I have no idea if the police are going to stop me, or arrest me, or if I'll get permission."
Up to 250 people will strip to have their photos taken by Mr Tunick, with each person being in front of the camera for about 30 seconds, he said.
Each shot will be displayed in a key fob viewfinder and a fast-moving slideshow of the naked images will be projected onto a mirrored mosaic wall at the gallery.
Brigitte Orasinski, director of George's House Gallery, said: "He makes such democratic artwork.
"It's instantly recognisable, even those who aren't as interested in the arts as others know his works."
Mr Tunick said: "I just hope everyone has a great time, and lots of people sign up to participate and be part of this traditional, but quite novel, portrait."
Wenger has yet to beat the Portuguese in nine attempts, most recently losing a Capital One Cup fourth-round tie 2-0 at home to Chelsea in October.
But victory over the Blues at the Emirates Stadium on Monday will take Arsenal back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.
"It is not a personal battle," Wenger said.
"Honestly, we had some big games in the past, but what is important for me is that I am completely focused on Arsenal Football Club and on my team and doing well in the team.
"Whether we play Monday night against Chelsea or anybody else, for me it is exactly the same, because what is at stake for us is to get back to winning habits."
The relationship between the two managers has been fiery in the past, with Wenger being called a "voyeur" by Mourinho in 2005 over comments made about events at Stamford Bridge.
"Once you are out of competition, everybody is different," said the Frenchman, whose side have been the early Premier League pacesetters before a draw and a defeat in their last two games saw them overtaken by Liverpool.
"We have spent time together in Geneva at the Uefa managers' meeting.
"Here is competition time, so everybody fights for his team and his club."
Mourinho also played down the significance of his record of five wins and four draws against Wenger.
"It's not me against Wenger," said Mourinho, whose side would draw level on points with leaders Liverpool with a win.
"It's my Chelsea against his Arsenal. And [the record] doesn't play Monday. It has no influence. That stat, for the game on Monday, means nothing.
"I just feel that we played better, we deserved more and we won these matches.
"In my time I remember just one game where we were close to losing, which was a game at home where (Michael) Essien scored the equalising goal in the last part of the game (in the December 2006 Premier League draw).
"After that, even at the Emirates, playing with 10 men for 75 minutes we played a fantastic match and we drew 1-1 (in May 2007).
"My memories are that against them we played very good matches. As a consequence of that we got good results."
The seven men are officials of the temple in Paravur and were among several wanted by police.
Earlier police had detained five others and a judicial inquiry ordered into the incident.
A court in Kerala is due to hear a plea to ban fireworks displays at temples.
Nearly 400 people near the temple were injured when a faulty rocket fell onto a large stockpile of fireworks on Sunday.
A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the deaths.
Kerala temple tragedy: 'All over in a few minutes'
The death toll rose to 111 on Tuesday after two of the injured died in hospital.
Seven temple officials, including the president, have surrendered to the police since Monday night, and are now being questioned over their role in the incident.
Officials say the temple had been denied permission on safety grounds, but it had gone ahead under pressure from a large crowd.
Thousands had gathered to watch the display as part of a local new year festival.
Police are also questioning five temple workers involved in staging the fireworks display.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said 351 people were still undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in the blast, and 24 of them were in a critical condition.
Puttingal: India's 'temple of fireworks'
Fireworks and firecrackers are commonly used at temple festivals in Kerala.
Every year temples in the state organise fireworks displays, often competing to stage the most spectacular ones.
Sunday's incident is not the first of its kind in Kerala.
The famous Sabarimala temple banned fireworks in 1952 after 68 people died in a firecracker explosion.
Tony Wood, the head of aerospace, will depart, and Lawrie Haynes, who runs the land and sea division, will step down next year.
The change in structure is part of a plan to save up to £200m a year from 2017, it said.
Removing the top layer of management is a bid to simplify decision-making.
Rolls-Royce has issued a series of profit warnings that have battered its share price, leaving it down 38% this year.
Mr East, who joined in July, admitted last month that the engineering group had developed an "accounting fog" that had left investors unclear about its direction.
He wants to "simplify" Rolls-Royce to make it a more responsive business.
From January, the company will operate as five businesses, with the presidents of civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine, nuclear and power systems reporting to Mr East.
Currently, the firm has two divisions: aerospace, and land and sea.
"The changes we are announcing today are the first important steps in driving operational excellence and returning Rolls-Royce to its long-term trend of profitable growth," said Mr East.
Rolls-Royce employs more than 21,000 people in the UK, with more than 12,000 employed at its Derby aerospace engines and submarines division.
Earlier this year, the company announced 3,600 job cuts and warned that some of its 2,000 senior managers would depart.
The crisis claimed the scalp of John Rishton, who Rolls-Royce said in April would step down after four years as chief executive.
The company makes engines for the UK nuclear submarine fleet. It was reported this week that the government had drawn up contingency plans, should Rolls-Royce's problems become so acute that it faced being broken up.
Business minister Anna Soubry told the House of Commons that the government was "monitoring the situation carefully" but did not elaborate.
The next generation of nuclear submarines, due to be deployed by 2030, is being planned by the government.
Charles James Evans had six passengers in his BMW - three without seatbelts.
Evans admitted dangerous driving and was sentenced to six months at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday, suspended for a year.
He was also ordered to carry out 180 hours unpaid work and retake his driving test.
A police officer saw Evans' BMW Coupe drive at excessive speed towards the roundabout of the A483 near Welshpool cattle market, Powys, on 11 June and decided to follow it.
Judge Niclas Parry said Evans, 22, of Shropshire, reached "alarmingly high speeds" estimated at between 120mph and 140mph.
He drove on the wrong side of the road, and across a junction.
Simon Medland QC, defending, said that his client was a "hard working and highly thought of" agricultural contractor whose loss of driving licence would affect him greatly.
Eight engines and 40 firefighters were called out to the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Corby at about 15:45 GMT on Saturday.
Northamptonshire Fire Service said everyone was accounted for, and that four people were treated at the scene after breathing in smoke.
The service said all the guests had been relocated and crews had returned to base by Sunday morning.
The cause of the fire, at the Rockingham Leisure Park on Princewood Road, is being investigated.
The hotel's duty manager said she was unable to provide any further details about the fire, but confirmed the hotel was closed.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD), which has two Airbus A400M aircraft, said their operations have been "paused".
The plane, which was undergoing flight trials, reportedly developed a fault just after take-off. Those on board were Spanish Airbus employees.
An MoD spokeswoman said: "As a precaution the UK's A400M aircraft are temporarily paused."
At least four people were killed in the crash on Saturday and two other crew members have been seriously injured.
Spain's airport authority said Seville airport had been closed and all flights were being diverted to Malaga and Jerez.
The A400M is a large, propeller-driven transport aircraft.
About 194 planes, which are manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space, have been ordered by eight countries, including Spain, France and the UK.
The Royal Air Force (RAF) has ordered a total of 22 planes to be delivered over the next few years.
They will gradually replace the existing fleet of C-130 Hercules, the tried and trusted workhorse of the RAF's air transport fleet.
The MoD said the new aircraft will give the RAF the ability to move people and equipment rapidly around the globe for military and humanitarian operations.
It is capable of carrying 30-tonne vehicles and up to 116 armed forces personnel. According to Airbus, the A400M can be adapted to become a tanker, for air-to-air refuelling.
Guy Verhofstadt, a long-standing critic of Brexit, wrote in The Observer that it was "irrelevant" whether the Conservatives increased their majority.
Instead, Mrs May appeared to be driven by "political opportunism", he said.
Mrs May says the poll is needed because Westminster is divided over Brexit.
The decision to hold the election on 8 June - three years earlier than scheduled - was approved on Wednesday, with 522 MPs in favour and 13 against.
Mr Verhofstadt wrote: "The theory espoused by some, that Theresa May is calling a general election on Brexit in order to secure a better deal with the EU, is nonsensical.
"Will the election of more Tory MPs give Theresa May a greater chance of securing a better Brexit deal?
"For those sitting around the table in Brussels, this is an irrelevance."
Mr Verhofstadt added that many in Brussels believed the chances of a deal were being eroded by Mrs May's "tough negotiating red lines" and a lack of "political room for manoeuvre" domestically.
He said there was no guarantee "a sprinkling of additional Conservative MPs on the backbenches" would change this.
"Indeed, it appears this election is being driven by the political opportunism of the party in government, rather than by the people they represent," he added.
Mrs May has argued that an increased Commons majority would strengthen her hand in the Brexit negotiations, making it more difficult for the opposition parties at home to obstruct her plans.
In her speech on 18 April, announcing the decision to call an election, she said: "Division in Westminster will risk our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country.
"So we need a general election and we need one now, because we have at this moment a one-off chance to get this done while the European Union agrees its negotiating position and before the detailed talks begin."

Alexandra Burke is the fifteenth and final celebrity to be announced as joining the Strictly 2017 line-up.
The singer, who is currently performing on stage in the West End in London, has said that she is "so excited".
"I am very nervous as I am a singer not a dancer, but I am going to give this my absolute everything and try my best to make everyone proud."
The double Paralympic, World and European T44 100m Champion is one of the last few celebrities to be announced as taking part in Strictly this year.

He added: "I know this will be a challenge and a new experience. I can't wait to see what I can achieve and how far I can push myself."
Next to join the line-up is TV personality and presenter Debbie McGee.
Debbie said, "There are no words to describe how I feel about performing on Strictly Come Dancing. The excitement is overwhelming. I can't stop smiling. It's been the hardest secret I have ever had to keep!"
Ore would agree with you there, Debbie!
The former Holby City actor has already tried her hand at dancing on the BBC - she appeared on Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief.
Chizzy said: "When I was 13, I made the finals of a disco dancing competition once but there was this amazing girl who exploded onto the stage with a gorgeous sequined costume, throwing glitter everywhere.
"I knew it was game over for me. That was then, this is now and this is my chance to have even more sequins!"

Best of luck to you, Susan!
Aston is celebrity number eight! He is a singer and songwriter, best-known for being a member of the successful British band JLS.
He said "I'm so happy to be joining Strictly 2017, it is such a brilliant show and I've followed it for years. I'm both nervous and excited to learn from the professionals about a whole new way of dancing!"
Simon is the seventh celebrity contestant confirmed for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Simon said, "I am so excited, terrified and proud to be invited to be part of Strictly 2017. I've always been a HUUUUGE fan of the show. When I put on my sequins and hit the floor it will genuinely be my very first time dancing ballroom and Latin. Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me. I can't wait."
He is best-known for being the chef and co-presenter on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch.
Joe is an actor, and probably best know for playing the role of Raf di Lucca in Holby City.
He said, "Strictly is one of the biggest, most entertaining shows on TV and being asked to be part of it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'm thrilled and terrified about in equal measures!"
The latest member of this year's Strictly team is the Vicar of St Mary's Church in Finedon, Northamptonshire and Chancellor of the University of Northampton.
Away from his church duties, Richard hosts a show on Radio 4 and has appeared on several TV programmes.
Before he joined the church, he was in a band called The Communards, who's best known song is Don't Leave Me This Way (you'll know it when you hear it!)

Scarborough Council has drawn up plans to allay growing public concern about mess, noise and "gull-muggings".
The proposals include using bird-proof bin bags and fitting netting to buildings to prevent nesting.
The recommendations will be considered by the cabinet later this year.
A report prepared for the council's Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee, said: "...Growing public concerns reached a peak last summer about the increasing nuisance caused by two species of gull in the borough: kittiwakes and herring gulls."
Outlining nine potential measures for tackling the gulls, it suggested "officers approach fish and chip shop owners...to recommend the use of a notice prohibiting the feeding of gulls, inside chip boxes and on the shops' premises".
An online consultation attracted almost 500 responses.
One hotelier told the council they were "genuinely concerned for the future of our business", saying "the noise throughout the day and night from March to September is becoming intolerable, not to mention the mess on buildings and cars and swooping".
However, others disagreed with one respondent saying: "Seagulls belong to the seaside. Leave them alone and stop moaning."
Both herring gulls and kittiwakes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
The recommendations will be considered by the cabinet later this year.
Kyle Coetzer, leading the hosts for the first time, might just have let his mind stray to thoughts of taking a major scalp as he opened the innings chasing a none-too-daunting 231-7.
But hopes of a first success against one of the big boys ebbed away following the Northnts batsman's dismissal for 32 in the 17th over.
Thereafter, Scotland simply could not live with the Pakistan attack and fell well short, finishing 96 runs behind in the 40th over.
Coetzer described his team's efforts to catch Pakistan as "very disappointing" and highlighted the Scots' inability to build up a head of steam.
He told BBC Scotland: "We picked up wickets, which put pressure on them, and we were able to squeeze them.
"We could sort of see it unfolding but we lost the impetus. If we had managed to keep the run rate going, the board would have been ticking over constantly and we might still have been in the game.
I've got a whole lot of confidence in these guys that they will come back strong
"But because we lost a few wickets we were out of the game.
"There are a couple of things we need to discuss in the dressing room. I've got a whole lot of confidence in these guys that they will come back strong."
For the visitors, Misbah-ul-Haq used all of his experience and considerable talent to breathe life into an innings that was threatening to sag.
The Pakistan skipper, who will celebrate his 39th birthday on this tour, has taken some flak for his cautious approach as he steers a callow side bidding to recover respectability after the bruising scandals of 2009 and 2010.
Following a solid but unspectacular opening, the visitors were wobbling on 115 for five when Umar Amin went for three.
But Misbah rode to the rescue as he crafted a vital 78 not out from 83 balls, including two mighty sixes.
Majid Haq did much to stem the Pakistan run flow and the off-spinner set a new Scottish record for one-day wickets in the process.
His 3-39 from 10 overs took him to 44 wickets at this level, surpassing the efforts of John Blain.
"It's a proud moment for me," said Haq, whose captain called him "exceptional".
"But we have probably thrown away the best chance I can remember of beating a full member side in a 50 over game.
"It was an unbelievable effort from the boys to restrict Pakistan to 231 on a fast ground like this.
"I was pretty confident. We needed a good start and we were 50 for one, but we kept losing wickets.
"We lost by a huge margin and that is disappointing.
"It's maybe because we haven't done it yet - beat a full member side - we don't have that experience of getting over the finishing line.
"If Ireland kept Pakistan to 230, they would expect to win in 45 overs."
Scotland chose to field five of the six new faces available after recent changes to eligibility rules.
Neil Carter, who, at 38 has retired from county cricket, opened the bowling and batting to underwhelming effect.
But Coetzer's county colleague David Murphy enjoyed a solid display behind the stumps and Rob Taylor turned in a parsimonious bowling spell and managed 13 runs from 13 balls as the Scottish wickets tumbled in quick succession.
Matt Machan and Iain Wardlaw can be satisfied with their bowling but the former will have been disappointed to chop onto his own stumps from the imposing figure of Mohammad Ifran.
At 7ft 1in, the green giant did not look so jolly as he powered in his deliveries and struggled to find any rhythm.
Junaid Khan and Saeed Ajmal fared much better, each claiming three victims, while the Scots were completely flummoxed by the crafty Mohammad Hafeez, who conceded a mere 12 runs from his eight overs.
The sound of leather on willow has all too often given way to soggy squelches and the covers being rolled out in the opening weeks of the Scottish season.
Wholly unexpected sunshine made life a little easier for Pakistan, who had been training at home in 40C temperatures before their arrival, and made for perfect viewing conditions.
It's just a pity such a small crowd turned out. But, like the home team, Scotland's cricket fans have a chance to redeem themselves when the sides meet again on Sunday.
It is estimated that cyber crime costs the local economy more than £100m a year.
David Crozier from Queen's University in Belfast said there was a potential difficulty if the Computer Science GCSE is dropped by schools.
He was speaking to the BBC's Inside Business programme.
"There is potentially a difficulty coming up in terms of the GCSEs, where some of the schools will drop the English GCSE in Computer Science which would be a more technical course than the CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment) ICT GCSE we have locally," he said.
"That would be disappointing for us as a university in terms of people coming in with a stronger Computer Science background."
Last month, the two largest English GCSE exam boards said they would no longer offer GCSE courses in Northern Ireland.
The change will come into effect for pupils beginning GCSE courses in September 2016.
About a quarter of courses taken by pupils in Northern Ireland are taken through the AQA and OCR exam boards.
There will be more on this story on Inside Business at 13:30 GMT on Sunday.
Robert Fidler, 66, built the four-bedroom home in Surrey without planning permission in 2000, hiding the building behind straw bales.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council argued he is in contempt of court for not demolishing the house.
If its claim is upheld, Mr Fidler could face a jail sentence.
Mr Fidler told the High Court in London he has sold the house at Honeycrock Farm in Salfords to an Indian businessman and that the injunction ordering demolition is invalid.
The hearing is the latest battle in a nine-year fight between Mr Fidler and the council.
The authority first ordered the house to be demolished in 2007. Since then there has been a planning inquiry, several different planning applications and a series of court cases.
Mr Fidler, who is also applying for the injunction to be varied or suspended, told Mr Justice Dove the council's case was based on "lies and deception".
Addressing the council's major development manager, Andrew Benson, he said: "All you want to do is put me in prison.
"The house is beautiful but you are so determined to get your way and destroy my life."
Mr Fidler said that if he demolished the house he would have nowhere to live and his herd of cattle would have to be disbanded.
The council has ruled out allowing the castle to stay, saying it breaches national and local planning rules protecting the green belt.
It said it had not seen sufficient evidence to show Mr Fidler was not the owner and the injunction still applied.
"Ultimately, the council wishes to see the building demolished in accordance with the enforcement notices," said Mr Benson.
The hearing was adjourned until 9 November.
The procedure lasted four hours, Milan's San Raffaele hospital said, giving no further details.
But sources told Ansa news agency the operation had been a success. He is likely to take a month to recover.
Berlusconi, 79, served as prime minister four times but has since been convicted of tax fraud and bribery.
He was admitted to hospital last week after suffering a heart attack his doctor said could have killed him.
He is expected to remain in intensive care for another 48 hours.
"Everything is okay guys, now I can speak more calmly," an ally of Mr Berlusconi, Gianni Letta, told AGI news agency.
On Monday, Berlusconi wrote on his Facebook page he was "concerned" by the looming operation.
"But I am also very moved by the very many demonstrations of appreciation, support and affection which I have received from everywhere, even from political rivals," he added.
Once the dominant figure in Italian politics, Berlusconi has seen his political influence wane since his coalition lost power in 2011.
The Nakivale refugee settlement, six hours' drive west of the capital, Kampala, is awe-inspiring.
It stretches for 184 sq km (71 sq miles) and covers rolling hills, fertile fields, a lake and many streams. Dotted around the landscape are small brick or mud houses, some with corrugated irons roofs.
This is home to more than 100,000 people who have been granted refugee status here, and Khadija al-Hassan, who fled the fighting in her home country of Somalia six years ago, is one of them.
The 46-year-old has built a simple home for her and her children and tends a small plot of land where she grows vegetables like carrots, aubergines and chillies.
She likes the life here: "There is no problem in Uganda. Refugees are given houses, food and free education for their children. You can even sleep in the open and no-one will bother you."
"There is no problem in Uganda. Refugees are given houses, food and free education for their children."
As the number of refugees continues to rise around the world, many countries are struggling to cope. This week, Kenya announced its intention to close the Dadaab refugee camp, which houses more than 300,000 refugees from Somalia.
The UN refugee agency, the UNHCR, has praised Uganda as "having progressive and forward-thinking... policies" for the more than half a million refugees in the country.
"The Uganda model is almost unique in allowing refugees the freedoms that they are granted," says Charlie Yaxley, UNHCR spokesperson in Uganda.
"For example in Kenya, where we have the Dadaab and Kakuma camps, refugees are restricted within those camps and not able to work.
"That is not the same here in Uganda, where refugees are given the opportunity to contribute to the local economy."
One thing that makes Uganda unique is that refugees are taken in immediately and helped without a lot of questions or suspicions.
At the heart of this generosity may be that many people in power know what it is like to be forced to flee.
The decades following independence in 1962 saw several internal conflicts, which created thousands of refugees.
Even President Yoweri Museveni and some of his cabinet colleagues have been exiles themselves.
And in the last 20 years nearly all the countries that border Uganda - the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Kenya and South Sudan - have had conflicts which have sent people running here.
As cultures and languages straddle national borders, Ugandans often share family or ethnic ties with some of the people who have come here, making integration easier.
Despite this, many refugees still dream of home.
Cedric Mugisha fled here from Burundi via Rwanda. Still visibly traumatised after having to run away from home, he wanted to make it clear that being a refugee is never anyone's first option.
"In Burundi, I have a life, my life was promising. I miss my family, I don't know where they are, and I don't know what happened to my friends."
But all is not rosy and there is some suspicion of the refugees.
At the edge of the Nakivale settlement are villages where Ugandans live. Some of them are not happy about how much help the refugees get.
"I have stayed here for 30 years and I had 143 hectares. Now with all the refugees coming, all the land has been taken."
Many here are subsistence farmers and they complain that they have had their land taken away to make room for the refugees.
The government argues these are areas that had been earmarked for those seeking asylum.
But farmer Stephen Kafungo is angry.
"I have stayed here for 30 years and I had 143 hectares. Now with all the refugees coming, all the land has been taken.
"I don't know [the] future, because if I die my children will have to suffer."
And this is the challenge for Uganda's refugee policies.
It has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in the world, making land and other resources increasingly scarce.
But for now the government and people are determined to care for those in need the best way they can.
HMP Garth in Leyland was described as "very unsafe" in an inspection by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons.
Prison inspectors found "violence and drugs" dominated life at the jail with a rise in attacks on inmates and staff.
However, they also found "progress" had been made in some areas such as mental health provision and education.
The Category B men's prison was inspected in January.
Inspectors reported that the jail has a "major drug problem" with new psychoactive substances that "mimic the effects of illegal drugs such as cannabis, heroin or amphetamines".
Positive findings included prisoners being "prepared to engage positively", with a "reasonable" time spent out of their cells and good learning and skills provision.
High-risk prisoners were served well by some "very good offender management work", the report said, and public protection work was "good".
And the report said staff shortages had improved following a previous inspection in August 2014.
Peter Clarke, Chief Inspector of Prisons, said: "This was an unusual inspection of contrasting and conflicting outcomes.
"The progress in rehabilitative work was real and speaks to the potential this establishment has.
"The prison was, however, one of the most unsafe we have been to in recent times. Violence and drugs dominated the prisoner experience."
Michael Spurr, chief executive of HM Prison and Probation Service, said: "As the chief inspector points out, there is much good work being done at HMP Garth but the deterioration in safety is a serious concern and reversing this is the top priority.
"An experienced senior management team has been appointed to work alongside a new governor to help drive progress over the coming months.
"This will be supported by additional staffing and resources and an improvement plan, which is already in place to address the issues raised in the report."
Putsch leader Capt Amadou Sanogo also called for a "national meeting" on the country's future as international sanctions begin to hit.
Landlocked Mali has to import all its fuel and in the capital long queues have formed at petrol stations.
Following rebel advances in the north, some aid groups have stopped work.
Renegade officers deposed President Toure last month saying he had not done enough to fight Tuareg rebels, who began their rebellion in January.
Since the military took charge, the rebels have made significant territorial gains in northern Mali - including taking the World Heritage Site of Timbuktu over the weekend.
International pressure is growing on the coup leaders and correspondents say the country will struggle to survive an economic blockade.
Fears for Timbuktu's ancient city
Why do we know Timbuktu?
Mali country profile
The International Committee for the Red Cross told the BBC it had suspended most of its operations in the north and temporarily withdrawn its international staff after its warehouse in Gao was looted by Tuareg rebels.
According to the UN refugee agency, since January the violence has uprooted more than 200,000 people, including around 100,000 who have fled the country.
The coup and Tuareg rebellion have also exacerbated a humanitarian crisis in Mali and some neighbouring countries, with aid agencies warning that 13 million people need food aid following a drought in the region.
"The overall security situation really deteriorated over the weekend," Steven Anderson, spokesman for the Red Cross in North and West Africa, said.
"This is extremely regrettable because this food and other emergency items, such as blankets, such as hygiene material, were meant for tens of thousands of displaced people inside northern Mali that are really now living in very dire conditions," Mr Anderson said.
A spokesman for the Catholic chartiy Caritas told the BBC that its office in Gao and a local church were destroyed by the rebels, some of who are Islamists.
Ryan Worm said about 200 Catholics had gone into hiding - and most Gao residents are trying to stay indoors since the rebel takeover.
Ahead of Thursday's national meeting, an association of northern people, who live in the southern capital Bamako, are meeting to discuss the situation in the north.
The heads of Mali's Catholic and Muslim communities are also travelling to Burkina Faso to meet with President Blaise Compaore, who has been appointed as the mediator in Mali's crisis.
"We call the entire political class and all civil society actors to... a national meeting which will begin on April 5," Capt Sanogo told journalists.
He said the meeting on Thursday would determine "what will be best for the country in a consensual, democratic fashion".
He added that the ousted president "could be the object of judicial proceedings for high treason and financial wrongdoing", without giving more details.
The rebels are divided into two groups - the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), which wants independence for the northern Tuareg homelands, while Ansar Dine, which is linked to the North African branch of al-Qaeda, wants to remain part of Mali but impose Sharia.
The US, a former key ally of Mali, has expressed concern that the political crisis is allowing radical Islamists to gain ground, and threatening the country's territorial integrity.
There have been reports of extremist Salafi groups moving into towns in the north taken over by Tuareg rebels in recent days.
Residents in Gao and Kidal told the BBC that Islamist fighters have ransacked bars serving alcohol and banned Western music on local airwaves.
In Timbuktu, people told the BBC that Ansar Dine members are going from door-to-door telling occupants that they now have to live by the principles of Islamic law.
"The United States urgently calls on all armed rebels in the north of Mali to cease military operations that compromise the Republic of Mali's territorial integrity," US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
Some civilians are reported to be fleeing the central towns of Mopti and Sevare fearing a rebel advance further south.
On Monday, Mali's West African neighbours imposed tough economic sanctions, including the closing of the country's borders and the freezing of its account at the regional central bank.
The African Union and the US have now also imposed targeted sanctions on the coup leaders and anyone actively supporting them, including travel bans and asset freezes.
The UN Security Council is expected to release a statement on the crisis on Wednesday.
London's Oxford Street must be changed because of poor air quality, congestion and overcrowding, Westminster City Council and Transport for London said.
They added international competition was putting its future at risk.
The plans include reducing traffic, improving public spaces and improving residential areas and accessibility.
It is hoped more jobs would be created as a result of the plans.
The consultation will last for eight weeks and once the results are known, a further consultation may follow in the autumn on a detailed scheme.
The changes have come about as a new railway, the Elizabeth Line, which will have stations at Bond Street and Tottenham Court Road open in December 2018.
It also comes after it was recently announced that bus routes on the street will be cut by 40%.
Val Shawcross, Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: "Oxford Street is iconic as a shopping destination, but there is far too much pollution and we have a huge opportunity to make it cleaner and safer for the millions of people who use the street every year.
"We need to make the transformation the very best it can be - ensuring it benefits local residents, businesses, and people who rely upon transport links in the area."
In his election manifesto last year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan promised to remove traffic from Oxford Street by 2020.
Dave Alsbury from Somerset, who died aged 43, suffered a traumatic injury in a road accident when in his 20s.
The report highlighted a "lack of joined-up working" between agencies and chances "to intervene" were missed.
Somerset County Council said it accepted the findings and said improvements had now been made.
After the accident Mr Alsbury was left with physical, cognitive and psychological issues, and he had a dependency on drugs and alcohol.
The independent report was commissioned by the Somerset Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) after he killed himself in 2014.
The review concluded that, despite numerous contacts with many health and care professionals and the concerns of family members, he was not provided with appropriate support.
It highlighted "a lack of joined-up working across social care, health bodies and drug and alcohol services".
"No organisation took a lead role in determining a co-ordinated, multi-agency response and opportunities to intervene in an integrated way were missed," it stated.
Mr Alsbury's sister, Alyson Norman, said she welcomed the report's findings, but said there had been a "lack of knowledge of brain injury" and "a serious lack of understanding of the mental health issues" her brother experienced.
She said there was a lack of interest in "taking any key responsibility" and the organisations "failed to work together".
"We were constantly, as a family, having having to be mediators in conversations and communications between organisations."
She added that a lack of funding was also a "key issue".
Mr Alsbury was provided with support by Headway Somerset, which is affiliated to the charity Headway - the brain injury association, for more than 13 years.
Headway's chief executive Peter McCabe said the "tragic reality" was that Mr Alsbury was "repeatedly failed by agencies whose responsibility it was to protect and support him".
He said it was "vital" that all local authorities "take time to read and fully digest this report and learn the lessons contained within in order to ensure that no other brain injury survivors are similarly let down".
A spokesman for Somerset County Council said: "We accept the review and its findings, and thank [Mr Alsbury's] family and Headway for the critical role they have played in it.
"The response to [his] circumstances, including the social work support, wasn't good enough.
"Everyone is committed to learning from this and improvements have been made."
They said social workers had received "further training about assessments" and there was "more scrutiny of practice and performance".
John Wishart 39, fired the weapon towards one officer as another hid behind a car for safety outside a bar in Leven.
CS spray was used to try and stop Wishart, who at one point jumped into the driver's seat of the police car.
He was eventually detained by the officers. The incident happened in May.
Wishart pled guilty to four charges - including assault and possessing the stun gun - at the High Court in Glasgow.
After being arrested, police also discovered Wishart was in possession of two knives.
Lord Boyd told Wishart: "Police officers who serve the community are entitled to the protection of the courts.
"You tried to threaten or intimidate them in a bid to prevent them carrying out their duty.
"I accept you did not intend to do any harm with the Taser - you were intent on using it to escape from the police."
The deaths of three members of the national guard in an explosion reignited a debate over what some see as the potentially damaging influence of the country's far-right parties and volunteer militias fighting in the country's east.
More than 140 others were wounded in the blast, apparently caused by a grenade, during a demonstration against plans to give more autonomy to the country's Russian-supported separatist regions.
Those who died were all in their twenties - the youngest was just 20.
President Petro Poroshenko denounced the attack as "an anti-Ukrainian action" and demanded "all organisers, all representatives of political forces... must carry full responsibility."
It also raised concerns over what appears to be an increasing infiltration of weapons from the warzone into the rest of the country.
These are the first politically-related fatalities in the capital since the country's pro-European revolution in February last year, in which more than 100 people died.
Authorities have blamed the explosion on Ihor Humenyuk, a fighter in the Sich volunteer battalion.
Sich falls under the control of the interior ministry, but maintains strong connections to the far-right Freedom Party, which was one of the rally's main organisers.
Freedom Party activists - including its leader Oleh Tyahnybok - were at the epicentre of the clashes with the police.
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said ultra-nationalists were "worse" than Russian-backed separatists in the east, because they were "trying to open another front" in the country "under the guise of patriotism".
So far, 16 people have been arrested for suspected involvement in the incident, including Mr Humenyuk. A number of others, like Mr Tyahnybok, were to be questioned.
Mr Humenyuk has denied throwing a grenade.
Freedom Party members likewise reject any responsibility, and accuse the government of orchestrating a witch hunt against them.
They say Mr Humenyuk is not associated with them - even though he was featured on one of their recent campaign posters.
But the explosion come weeks after another armed incident involving a volunteer militia with ties to the extreme right - a shoot-out between members of the Right Sector battalion and local police in south-western Ukraine.
Both incidents have shone a light on the link between groups with extreme politics, and those with access to weapons.
There are dozens of volunteer groups, providing vital support to operations in the east.
Of these, about 11 have ties to political parties or organisations, of which at least seven have some sort of connection to the far-right fringe.
Although the militias have been nominally integrated into government structures, many wonder how much control Kiev actually exercises.
And although the majority of these groups' fighters appear free of radical right sentiments, ultra-nationalists - often visible by their tattoos and t-shirts - definitely figure among their numbers.
This is a feature on both sides of the frontline in the east, with the Russian-backed militants attracting what appears to be a large contingent of nationalist extremists.
However, the heads of the pro-Kiev battalions, like that of Sich itself, say they are not political, or have no intention of using force.
"We do not plan to march on Kiev with our automatics," Sich battalion commander Olexander Pisarenko told the BBC Ukrainian Service.
As for the ultra-nationalists, few believe that they pose an electoral threat.
Freedom and Right Sector up until now have been marginal political forces. Indeed, the violence at parliament could be an attempt to compensate for a lack of support among the population.
However, the political landscape could begin to shift with the arrival with colder weather.
The economy is deteriorating, painful reforms such as a rise in utility tariffs are set to kick in this autumn, and issues such as granting increased powers to the breakaway regions, which some see as a capitulation to Moscow, have struck a very emotional nerve.
It should be emphasised that the chance of an armed insurrection is a highly distant prospect right now.
But, even if the battalions keep out of the political fray, there is still the issue of the individual fighters.
Anger among them is rising. Many accuse the government of criminal mishandling of the conflict, which have led to the deaths of untold numbers on the battlefield.
In contrast to their commanders, some fighters do speak of coming to Kiev en masse, if necessary. One in a YouTube video spoke, in Ukrainian, of staging terrorist acts.
Previous attempts to rein in extremist elements have in some cases stalled.
Right Sector, for example, is still relatively free of government control, despite the fact that it openly confronted law enforcement authorities.
But with the deaths of the three national guardsmen - so young, and at what was supposed to be a peaceful demo so far from the front lines - attitudes in Ukrainian society may be changing, and people could demand action from the government.
The Freedom Party (Svoboda in Ukrainian), despite its low electoral numbers, is still viewed by many as a patriotic organisation, and was a central player in the revolution last year.
Now, some question its contribution.
"There are few people in Ukraine who work for Putin so selflessly as Ukrainian nationalists from the party 'Svoboda'," Oleg Shankovskyi, an editor at the Ukrainska Pravda website, wrote on Facebook.
At the very least, there is the alarming fact that guns - and explosives - seem to be very easily obtained, and can be used to further any political, financial or criminal interest.
Or they could simply fall into the hands of some angry, disaffected individual - as the person who threw the grenade at the parliament protest may have been.
De Lange, 26, admitted his international career is over after becoming a 'home-based' Glamorgan player.
The fast bowler made his last international appearance five years ago.
"It's the end of my international career in South Africa," said De Lange.
The ex-Proteas paceman took seven for 81 in the second innings of his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2011.
He has not been involved with South Africa since 2012, having played two Tests and 10 limited-overs games.
"I'm done with international cricket. That's a chapter in my life I'm closing," De Lange told BBC Sport Wales.
"My goals are different and I'm eager to be part of a county team.
"I haven't been picked in the last five years. My commitment, vision and goals have changed.
"Basically if I go back, I'll play as an overseas player. I'm a local over here now, which is nice to say.
"I'm focused on Glamorgan and privileged they've given me the opportunity to play for this side."
Glamorgan had initially hoped to sign De Lange under the Kolpak ruling, which allows players from countries with associate trade agreements with the European Union not to be classed as overseas players, but he had not played enough international matches to qualify.
De Lange can play on a UK visa through his wife's British passport, but that leaves him unable to play as a "local" player in more than one country's domestic competition.
So he would be classed as an overseas player if he returned to South African domestic cricket.
De Lange revealed Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph was the catalyst in bringing him to Wales.
"Jacques asked me if I was interested in coming over," added De Lange.
"It's definitely a long-term commitment. It was a bit of a process, but it's nice to be here after a lot has been happening with paperwork.
"My wife has a British passport and I came over with a spousal visa, which made everything easier."
De Lange admitted finances played a part, but was not the primary reason for his arrival.
"It's definitely part of it, but mainly I'm still young," said De Lange.
"I've still got a lot of cricket in me so I've got a lot of playing time and opportunities to be out there.
"I've always wanted to come and play county cricket and now the chance has come and presented itself, I don't want to let it go by."
De Lange is in line to make his Glamorgan debut in the county championship opener away against Northamptonshire which starts on Friday, 7 April.
"If I can play Friday, the sooner the better to get out of the park and I'll be ready," said De Lange.
"I'm quite aggressive, I like to intimidate some of the batters if I can say that.
"I would like to to make the batsman jump around a bit and create something different. Some of the wickets here are slower and lower but I'll adapt."
De Lange will feature in all formats and has played T20 cricket for Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well as Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Tridents in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
He believes the new city-based domestic tournament set to start in 2020 will be beneficial for the county game.
"I think it's about time the idea came over this side of the world, especially with the IPL, Big Bash and CPL," added De Lange.
"It's a great goal for all the cricketers this side so for guys that specialise in the shorter format it's a great opportunity."
The 14-year-old boy and another protester were shot dead in the western city of Barquisimeto on Tuesday night.
The local governor blamed armed government supporters. Two students were killed during protests last week.
Nicolas Maduro's presidency has come under increasing pressure as the economy suffers and opponents accuse him of creating a dictatorship.
Mr Maduro was pelted with objects by angry protesters as he left a military event in the south-eastern state of Bolivar earlier on Tuesday.
The latest anti-government demonstrations were sparked by a decision on Friday to bar opposition leader Henrique Capriles from holding public office for 15 years.
The dead teenager was identified as Brayan Principal by opposition MP Alfonso Marquina, who said he had been shot in the abdomen.
A 36-year-old man was also killed in Barquisimeto in a separate incident, the state prosecution service said.
Opposition leaders are calling for a date to be set for postponed regional elections.
Mr Maduro has resisted efforts by the opposition to hold a referendum on removing him and has vowed to continue the "socialist revolution" launched by his predecessor Hugo Chavez.
He says the economic crisis and efforts to get rid of him are a capitalist conspiracy.
The Magpies started well, with Adam Campbell's early shot saved before Jon Stead's goal-bound strike was blocked.
The Chairboys responded in the second half, with Paul Hayes' volley from 20 yards well saved by Scott Loach before Izale McLeod lobbed wide for the hosts.
And Ryan Allsop denied Notts victory with a fine save from Haydn Hollis' header in injury time.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"We've come up against a new manager syndrome, he's changed five from Friday and I thought they were a lot stronger than they've looked in recent weeks.
"I'm really proud, a clean sheet is fantastic, we've got the best defensive record in League Two and the most clean sheets in League Two.
"I thought we should have had a penalty, although the referee is 100% confident he's given the right decision and it would have been harsh for us to have taken all three points."
Officers say they are looking at 106 claims related to 30 clubs or teams - including two in the Championship and three in Leagues One and Two.
Twenty-one non-league, non-professional or amateur teams are also involved.
It comes as the Scottish Football Association has set up an independent review of child abuse allegations.
Several former players have come forward in recent weeks to say they were abused as children by people in positions of authority.
Football abuse claims: What has happened so far?
Stories of child abuse: 'Not the only one'
More than 20 UK police forces have confirmed they are investigating claims of historical child abuse in football.
Last week police chiefs said there were 83 potential suspects and 98 clubs involved.
The National Police Chiefs' Council said 98% of the identified victims were male and that they were aged between seven and 20 when they were allegedly abused.
In an update to the action being taken by the Met, Det Ch Supt Ivan Balhatchet said specialist officers would be working through information passed to them.
He added: "The number of referrals, pieces of information and allegations will change."
He urged anyone who had been the victim of sexual assault to contact their local force, or call the NSPCC help line on 0800 023 2642.
Thirteen London-based clubs are in the four top English football league divisions, with five in the Premier League - Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham and Crystal Palace.
The Met did not name any of the clubs involved in its inquiries.
Chelsea, however, have already apologised to former player Gary Johnson over abuse he suffered in the 1970s and are conducting their own review.
QPR say they are taking allegations made against a former employee "very seriously", while Charlton Athletic have also opened an investigation into historical abuse allegations.
The sport's governing body in England, the Football Association, has said it plans to conduct an internal review to determine whether it could or should have done more.
Meanwhile, BBC Scotland has revealed that about 2,500 coaches are working in youth football in Scotland without having full background checks.
Of the 15,385 coaches registered with the Scottish Youth Football Association, 2,500 had not had Protecting Vulnerable Groups clearance.

The Frenchman, 25, died on Friday from severe head injuries suffered in last year's Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.
Brazilian Massa suffered a fractured skull during qualifying in Hungary in 2009 after a spring hit his helmet.
"I don't think anything changes. When you close your visor, you want to be the best," said the Williams driver.
"I had my accident and when I pass that place I don't remember it.
"I don't ever think 'I have a mother or father or son or wife'. You just think about your job."
Bianchi had been in a coma since crashing his Marussia into a recovery vehicle at last October's rain-hit race.
Massa, who says he expects to stay with Williams in 2016, is "not completely against" closed cockpits in Formula 1 "if it's best for everyone and doesn't change the aspect" of the sport.
The 34-year-old, who attended Bianchi's funeral in Nice on Tuesday, said he would "have Jules on my mind all the time" when he is not racing in Hungary.
He added: "It was so difficult to be there in church. It was so sad but I am sure he is in a good place now and looking here at all of us."
Michael Turner, 57, drove his van at Frank Buckley, who ended up on the ground before he backed over him, St Albans Crown Court was told.
Mr Turner, of Landau Way, Turnford, Hertfordshire, denies murdering the 51-year-old in the village last June.
He died after suffering multiple injuries including a fractured skull.
Prosecutor Christopher Donnellan QC told the jury the defendant "deliberately" knocked down Mr Buckley, then ran him over and killed him at 11:30 BST on 26 June.
"It was carried out by a man who was angry and in a temper, possibly he acted in revenge about something that had happened in the course of the confrontation," said Mr Donnellan.
He said there was no doubt Mr Turner intended to seriously hurt or kill Mr Buckley, but it was not believed the killing was planned.
The court heard Mr Buckley died despite the efforts of bystanders, the police, paramedics and a doctor at the scene.
Witnesses told the police they had seen the two men fighting in Groom Road, the same street where Mr Buckley was later struck.
Mr Turner had stopped his VW Caddy van when he saw Mr Buckley walking, the jury was told.
He is then alleged to have returned to his van before driving at Mr Buckley.
The front bumper struck him, knocked him up in the air and then he fell to the ground. The van then allegedly reversed over his head.
Afterwards the vehicle was driven around a roundabout and sped off.
Mr Turner, who drove to a hospital, told police Mr Buckley had sprayed fluid into his eyes and he had been "frightened" of him. | A story in Bengali was sent to BBC News app users and Twitter followers because of human error, the corporation has said.

In just his third cap, Tierney, who plays on the left side of defence, swapped flanks for the Scots' vital win over Slovenia in March.
The teenage Hoops star may be asked to do so again by national boss Gordon Strachan when England come to Hampden.
"I'll play where I'm told, no matter who with or whereabouts," Tierney said.
"Working on my right foot is something I do anyway, whether it is with Scotland playing right-back or playing left-back here.
"It is just a weakness I have and something I need to work on."
Tierney, 19, missed over three months of first-team action after sustaining ankle ligament damage and battling to overcome a shoulder problem.
Despite Celtic sealing the Scottish Premiership title in emphatic style on Sunday, the youngster says he will not request time off as the season draws to a close.
"We've not spoken about that and I'm not too bothered - I'd play every game I possibly can," he said.
The defender broke into the Celtic first-team under Rodgers' predecessor, Ronny Deila, last season, ousting established left-back Emilio Izaguirre.
The youngster feels he has become a fitter, more rounded player under the tutelage of the Northern Irishman and his staff.
"I have worked hard every day and I did the same last year, and I hope I've improved as a player," he said.
"I've been lasting 90 minutes easier this season, I've played more games consistently and the training's been a lot harder.
"The manager goes on about my composure and that's improved since the games he watched last season.
"I've got more assists as well, but there's little bits of my game I still need to work on.
"[First-team coach] John Kennedy I speak to on a daily basis about stuff to work and, after training, it is usually him I work with, so he's been great."
At the other end of the Celtic squad spectrum, 31-year-old captain Scott Brown says sustained success has kept him at the club.
The Scotland midfielder, who has made over 250 appearances for Celtic since joining them in 2007, has produced some of his best form this campaign, helping propel Celtic to an unbeaten domestic season to date, and their sixth successive top-flight title.
"That is why I am still here. I enjoy playing, winning trophies and that is why I want to stay here," Brown said.
"It is amazing for all the lads. For myself, to be here for so long to win seven out of 10 seasons has been great but we want to continue to push on.
"We've won the League Cup as well and we need to push on and try to get the Scottish Cup and keep the unbeaten run going as long as we can." | Kieran Tierney will not ask Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers for a stint at right-back ahead of Scotland's World Cup qualifier against England in June. | 39,485,746 | 642 | 38 | false |
Runners, some wearing blue Santa outfits in support of Everton, set off from the waterfront for the 5K race.
Organiser BTR Liverpool said it will be a "huge boost" to take the title back from Las Vegas after four years.
Final numbers are being counted but Las Vegas' Santa Dash had fewer than 8,000 people on Saturday, BTR Liverpool said.
This year's fun run featured the biggest Mini Dash 1K for children aged under 12 with 750 taking part.
BTR Race Director Alan Rothwell said: "All our Santa Dashers really got into the spirit of the day, with some very creative costumes.
"It is very fitting that we have regained the World Santa Challenge title on our 10th anniversary.
"We are absolutely thrilled. We are now not only the UK's biggest festive fun run - but now also the world's."
Serena plays unseeded Russian Elena Vesnina, 29, in Thursday's first semi-final on Centre Court at 13:00 BST.
Eighth seed Venus, 36, faces Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber, 28.
"With everything she's been through, I think it's built a ton of character in her, and in me by just being around her," said 34-year-old Serena.
"She has a lot of perseverance, she's a real fighter."
Six-time champion Serena has won three of the four all-Williams' finals, with the last coming in 2009.

Five-time champion Venus, who last won the title in 2008, is appearing in her first Grand Slam semi-final since the 2010 US Open.
She is the oldest major semi-finalist since Martina Navratilova was runner-up at Wimbledon in 1994.
Venus, who slipped outside the world's top 100 in 2011 after being diagnosed with the immune system disorder Sjogren's syndrome, says the American sisters have not discussed the prospect of facing each other in Saturday's final despite playing doubles together.
"We get out there and we're focused on that moment because we have to be. So the talk about what could happen is not as important as what's happening in that round," she said.
"Of course, this is great for both of us. But when you're a player, you're so focused on the next match, and that's what we're both focused on."
German Kerber, the fourth seed, has moved impressively through the draw without dropping a set.
She defeated Serena Williams in the Australian Open final in January for her first Slam title, but lost in the first round of the French Open.
After beating Simona Halep in the quarter-finals, Kerber said: "I'm playing really good tennis right now... I think I'm playing like in Australia. I know I can win such tournaments.
"When I came onto the tour the two Williams sisters were always the top favourites but in the meantime I have won against them both and so the respect is there. So my perception of them both has changed over the years."
"We've had a lot of great matches, she and I," Venus Williams said of Kerber, who has won three of their five previous matches.
"We haven't played in a while and clearly she's had a great year with a great result in a Slam, but I'd love to be walking towards the final."
It would be one of the biggest shocks of modern times if world number 50 and doubles specialist Vesnina could defeat Serena Williams and reach her first Grand Slam final.
After reaching the last four, the Russian joked that she was being inspired by 'the Lendl effect', a hashtag that sprung up after Andy Murray reunited with coach Ivan Lendl last month.
"Bruno Soares, my mixed doubles partner, he tweeted three weeks ago at the Queen's tournament, there is, with a hashtag, a Lendl effect, because he's playing with Jamie Murray, who is brother of Andy Murray, who won Queen's.
"There's definitely a Lendl effect. I tweeted them back, 'I'm your partner in mixed doubles'. He said, 'You will see, you will get it'. And now I am in semi-final of Wimbledon. There is something in it."
Serena Williams, who has beaten Vesnina in all four previous meetings, said: "She has a really good grass court game. She has a really good serve. I notice that she always works on things and she always improves her game.
"She's also very aggressive, she comes to the net. I know her game really, really well. It's good to play someone's game that you know."

Nine-time singles champion Martina Navratilova told BBC Sport: "It's hard to go against the Williams sisters both reaching the final because they have been there so many times.
"Serena seems to get better and better as a tournament goes on and you cannot go against her.
"Vesnina is the surprise package. It has been an amazing effort from her to come out of nowhere. She could play the match of her life and go through.
"For Venus, a lot of balls will be coming back from Kerber, who is playing her best tennis since the Australian Open.
"Mentally, she can handle winning Wimbledon - she's done it [won a Slam] by beating Serena Williams in Melbourne. That hurdle has been cleared.
"It comes down to whether her game is good enough. She needs to play brave tennis. But I'd say maybe a slight edge to Venus."
Lindsay Davenport, the 1999 champion, said about Serena: "Something she does so much better now than she used to do is learn from the losses. Now I think she takes the time to think about 'what I didn't do right, what do I need to make better'. She really wants it.
"She's mastered the two biggest shots in tennis - the serve and return - and no one else can really do that in women's tennis."

Daniel Adewole suffered a sudden unexpected death in epilepsy at Cookham Wood jail in Kent in 2015.
The inquest in Maidstone heard that despite repeated attempts to rouse him by kicking his locked door, officers did not enter the cell for 38 minutes.
They assumed he was asleep on the floor, hidden by his bed cover.
One officer went for a cigarette in between checking on him, the inquest heard, and another did not use her emergency key because she feared she might be attacked.
Medical experts told the hearing it was likely Daniel had been dead for any time between half an hour and several hours before he was found.
Senior coroner Patricia Harding said she was not satisfied Daniel's death could have been prevented had his cell been entered earlier.
Giving her conclusion, she said the events were of "significant concern", but she had received information from the prison estate that changes had been made to prevent similar cases.
After the hearing, a Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Adewole and we will carefully consider the findings of the inquest."
Edwin Mee, 46, is accused of exploiting his position of trust and power to abuse or rape women while working at Army offices in Croydon, south east London.
Mr Mee, of Tavistock Road, Croydon, denied the allegations.
He told Southwark Crown Court the Army was his "life".
Mr Mee is charged with 17 counts of sexual assault, three rapes and one count of assault by penetration against 11 victims in 2010 and 2011.
The alleged attacks happened while he was working at the Mitcham Barracks Army Careers and Information Office in Croydon.
Asked in court by Lisa Wilding QC, defending, how he responded to the allegations, Mr Mee replied: "That never happened ma'am."
The court heard that he joined the army aged 24 and went on to serve in Iraq - where he was attached to the Special Forces - and in Afghanistan and Bosnia.
He was suspended in 2011 and medically discharged from the Army in April 2014.
When asked him how he felt about his time in the service Mr Mee said: "The Army was my life, and if it wasn't for all this mess I would still be there."
He conceded that he would swear in the recruitment office and shouted at recruits.
He also admitted he would make comments to "threaten or intimidate" recruits because the Army is not a nine to five job, and they needed to understand that they could lose their lives.
However, Mr Mee also said he was "protective" of his candidates and felt he was in the best position to help them, occasionally "cutting corners".
The court was told he disregarded normal recruitment procedures to keep recruits to himself and he interviewed applicants out of hours to "deliberately target" his victims.
One of the women claims she was a virgin in her early 20s, but became pregnant after Mr Mee raped her in a locked waiting room.
The trial continues.
Sheffield Council said the Cake 'R' Us store, on Devonshire Street, was part of a Grade II-listed building and no consent was gained before painting.
A formal enforcement notice would soon be served, a council spokesman said.
Owner David Chan could not be reached for comment, but previously said it was painted in an "act of national pride".
A complaint about the shop, which is in part of the former Wharncliffe Fireclay Works built for John Armitage in 1888, was received in January 2015.
The council said the front of the store should be repainted "in a colour scheme that is more in keeping with the original 19th Century characteristics of the building".
Councillor Mazher Iqbal, cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, said: "The tenant has yet to submit a formal application suggesting a suitable alternative frontage for the building, but, if he does, we will work with him to develop his proposal to an acceptable standard."
Speaking in April, Mr Chan said he would "write to the Queen" if the council took legal action, as he did not "see anything wrong with it".
The works, in connection with the £1bn St James Quarter development, are to start after the Edinburgh Festival in September and last for 44 weeks.
Leith street is to be "levelled out", have high-quality paving and be made more pedestrian-friendly.
A new gas main and water drainage system would also be installed.
The road will be closed from Calton Road to Waterloo Place.
Martin Perry, director for development for TH Real Estate, which is developing the new St James Centre, said: "The development team has been working closely with the City of Edinburgh Council to carefully plan the best approach for essential utility works around the Edinburgh St James development.
"Our recommended approach has been supported by the council's city-wide traffic management group, which includes representatives from the council, local transport providers and emergency services.
"These works will allow us to reconfigure and renew the whole Leith Street corridor and help facilitate the wider regeneration of Picardy Place and the East End in a way that minimises disruption for residents, businesses and the travelling public."
He added: "By renewing and enhancing local infrastructure as part of the Edinburgh St James scheme, we are also greatly reducing the requirement for future works and repairs, thereby minimising future disruption around the completed environment.
"The street will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, with access for emergency services maintained throughout.
"An enhanced diversion route, with increased capacity, will be put in place for all other traffic in order to reduce congestion within the city centre, whilst access to Greenside Row and Calton Road will also be maintained for local businesses and parking."
Birmingham City Council is proposing to keep Moseley Baths open until March 2018.
It says this will allow community organisations more time to prepare plans for the building's future use.
Serious structural issues mean the council cannot afford to keep it good repair, it says.

Moseley Road Baths is the oldest of three Grade II listed swimming pools still in use in Britain.
It has been closed twice since 2004 for urgent repairs and one of the two pools remains out of use. The other is used by the whole community.
The council's deputy leader, Ian Ward said: "Unfortunately [the building] has some serious structural issues and the costs of repair are exorbitant and out of the council's reach.
"We hope by keeping the pool open for another nine months we can give the National Trust and other groups enough time to prepare plans for the pool's future use."
The National Trust has said that if the pool was to close, even for a short period, the cost of reopening would be significant.
A coalition has been set up to look at the baths' future. It includes Historic England, National Trust, Moseley Road Baths Action Group, the Friends of Moseley Road Bath, Civic and the World Monuments Fund.
The move follows criticism he received for his behaviour in a news conference.
In it, Hamilton posted images of himself and a fellow driver on Snapchat with bunny faces and gave minimal answers.
He said it was intended as "a super light-hearted thing" and what was written was "more disrespectful".
As a result, he said: "Unfortunately the decision I will take unfortunately affects those who have been super-supportive, so that is why I am saying it with the utmost respect.
"But I don't really plan on sitting here many more times for these kind of things. So my apologies and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend."
He then walked out of the news conference.
His remarks came in his usual news conference in the Mercedes area in the paddock at the Japanese Grand Prix after qualifying.
The world champion qualified second for Sunday's race behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has a 23-point advantage in the championship with fives races to go and 125 points still available.
Hamilton said: "I'm not here to answer your questions, I've decided. With the utmost respect, there are many of you here who are super-supportive of me and they hopefully know I know who they are.
"There are others unfortunately that often taken advantage of certain things. The other day was a super light-hearted thing, and if I was disrespectful to any of you guys, or if you felt I was disrespectful, it was honestly not the intention. It was just a little bit of fun.

"But what was more disrespectful was what was then written worldwide."
Hamilton did not specify which particular articles he was offended by, and Mercedes said they did not know. The team did not know Hamilton was planning to make his statement.
In the official race preview news conference on Thursday, he had referred journalists who asked some questions about his remarks following his engine failure while leading the previous race in Malaysia to comments he had published on his social network outlets.
And he criticised the format of the news conference, in which six drivers are brought together to answer questions ahead of a race.

Asked what he was doing on his phone, before the Snapchat images of himself and Carlos Sainz were widely disseminated, he said: "It's quite funny, just some snaps of us drivers, it's quite funny. That's about it.
"Hey man, we've been doing this a long long time and it's the same each time so got to keep adding new things to it."

The Brazilian salmon pink bird-eater was left in a plastic box at the junction of Narborough Road and Ivy Road in Leicester on Friday.
It was found by Michael Fields as he left his home.
Mr Fields called the RSPCA and the spider - the third largest breed of tarantula in the world - has been found a new owner.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
Mr Fields estimated the spider measured about eight inches (20cm) long.
He said: "I absolutely froze on the spot. It's my worst nightmare - I hate spiders.
"Even as a grown man I was nearly in tears - this thing was massive. I then had to stay with it until the RSPCA came."
Brazilian salmon pink bird-eaters can grow to have a leg span of 10 inches (25cm) but are relatively harmless to humans.
The RSPCA said the tarantula had been re-homed with a specialist exotic animal keeper.
Animal collection officer Steve Smith said: "We are concerned that someone abandoned a spider in the street like this.
"These tarantulas live in a warm and humid environment in the wild and need the same provided in captivity.
"It is likely that the spider was an unwanted pet which someone decided to dispose of for whatever reason.
"We would recommend that anyone interested in keeping a tarantula as a pet thoroughly research the particular species' needs carefully first before deciding to get one."
The flag has been replaced with the union jack on boxes of strawberries and raspberries grown north of the border.
Tesco's official Twitter account told one customer that the move followed complaints from English customers.
But a spokesman for Tesco denied that, and insisted that it was intended to "provide consistency".
The decision emerged when one customer tweeted Tesco to ask why the Scottish flag no longer appeared on her raspberries.
When the supermarket's official Twitter account replied, they told her they had received "several customer complaints".
They said some customers were annoyed that an English flag was not shown on berries grown south of the border.
And when the packaging was re-designed, they decided to remove the saltire to avoid further complaints.
However the customer was told that each punnet of fruit clearly showed where the berries were grown.
The series of tweets have provoked a storm of criticism on social media, with many people urging Tesco to reverse their decision.
A Tesco source said the tweets had been sent in error.
And a spokesman for the firm said: "To provide consistency for customers, we mark all of our homegrown fresh berries with a union flag.
"The country of origin is also clearly displayed on pack."
The country's economy - the largest in the eurozone - will grow by 2.1% this year, the institutes said in a report.
In the autumn they had predicted 1.3% growth and warned that the economy was "stagnating".
In 2014 as a whole, Germany's GDP was 1.5% higher than in the previous year, according to official figures.
"The German economy is experiencing a strong upturn driven by unexpected expansive impulses, especially the falling oil price and the sharp depreciation of the euro," CES Ifo Group Munich said.
Timo Wollmershaeuser, chief economist at the Ifo Institute, said: "The low oil price leaves the Germans more money for consumption, and the low euro is pushing exports."
The Ifo Institute was one of four institutes that wrote the annual spring forecast.
The joint paper said that "consumption is the driving force behind the upturn".
In addition it said "the rest of the euro area is also expected to produce slightly positive impulses, meaning that international trade will contribute to growth."
The bodies called for lower taxes for small businesses after a prediction of public budget surpluses of €20bn euros (£13bn) this year and next.
"The tax wedge between labour costs and net wages, created by contributions to the pay‐as‐you-go social security system and income tax, is among the highest of all OECD countries in Germany," they said.
"The income tax rate above all - especially for small and medium‐sized companies - should therefore be made more performance‐oriented to reduce the labour factor burden and thus to increase Germany's growth potential."
This suggestion is unlikely to gain traction in Berlin, as the ruling coalition of conservatives and Social Democrats has an agreement not to raise or lower taxes, but to use any leeway to boost investment.
The government has accepted proposals for changes in 25 council areas which will take effect next year.
There will be some changes in all mainland council areas apart from Argyll and Bute, Dundee and the Borders.
A planned cut in the number of councillors in Dumfries and Galloway will go ahead despite local opposition.
Separate changes to the three island councils - including moves away from multi-member wards - may be made later.
Scottish government parliamentary business minister Joe FitzPatrick said: "Local government plays an important role in delivering key services across Scotland and it's important for the sake of democracy and for local service delivery that councils are as representative as possible of the communities they serve.
"That's why the Boundary Commission is legally obliged to hold regular reviews of council wards and councillor numbers, to ensure these reflect changes in population - this is the fifth such review since the commission was created in 1973 and we are pleased to accept the vast majority of their recommendations.
"In a small number of cases - Argyll and Bute, Dundee City and Scottish Borders - we have listened to local representations and left boundaries as they currently stand, to ensure that strong historic ties in particular areas and communities are maintained.
"Significant concerns were raised about aspects of the commission's proposals for those areas, in particular that they would not reflect local communities.
"While the commission did try to address these in its final recommendations, it was clear from the responses to those recommendations that many of those concerns remained.
"We therefore decided that the better course would be to keep the status quo for those areas."
Argyll and Bute Council said it was pleased plans for changes there were over-ruled.
Councillor Dick Walsh, Leader of Argyll and Bute Council, said: "We previously stated that reducing the number of councillors in Argyll and Bute would reduce our communities' access to a local councillor and strongly opposed the proposed ward changes in our submission to Local Council Boundary Commission.
"Argyll and Bute has 23 inhabited islands and the second largest mainland of all of Scotland's 32 council areas.
"There was a real concern that any changes would make it difficult for communities to be represented due to the challenges posed by travel and the lack of regular public transport links.
The journal entries were seized when police investigated allegations of domestic violence in 2015.
No charges were brought at the time but a separate NFL investigation led to a one-game ban for Brown, 37.
The NFL says it will reopen that investigation following the release of the documents.
"It is unfortunate that we did not have the benefit or knowledge of these materials at the time," it said in a statement.
"In light of the release of these documents, we will thoroughly review the additional information and determine next steps in the context of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy."
Brown's side were flying to London on Thursday before this weekend's game against the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham. However, the Giants said Brown would not be travelling with the group.
The documents were originally given to police by Brown's ex-wife Molly following his arrest last year. She accused him of more than 20 instances of domestic violence.
In one of the documents, Brown wrote: "I have physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man. I have abused my wife."
Brown is one of the NFL's top kickers and scored a career-high 134 points last season.
A full assessment of the sea defences along the Yorkshire coast will be carried out later, police said.
The Environment Agency said high tides on Friday passed without further significant flooding.
Its initial estimates suggest about 400 properties have been flooded along the North Yorkshire coast.
Follow the latest updates on the severe weather on the east coast
Supt Glyn Payne, from North Yorkshire Police, said: "We are aware that around 30% of sea defences around the Sands development in Scarborough's North Bay have been damaged with the surge last night.
"We will be assessing the damage right down the coast and what remedial action needs to be done."
He said there had been a small landslip around the Castle headland but it was not thought to be significant. Further assessments will be carried out later.
In Whitby, the town had been plunged into darkness as the tidal surge breached the harbour walls and flooded dozens of nearby properties.
Mayor John Freeman said: "The emergency services were absolutely on the ball given the tremendous amount of work needing to be done.
"Once the power cables were hit and the electricity went out that made the job much more difficult to cope with."
The Environment Agency said a number of flood warnings remained in place across Yorkshire and the Humber.
Tony Andryszewski, flood manager with the agency, said: "We are still assessing the number of properties flooded in Yorkshire. Currently it is around 400 and is still rising."
Melissa Mia, owner of the Beach Cafe on the South Bay in Scarborough, said: "Everything around our cafe has gone.
"It hasn't floated away so we will just have to assess the damage and start clearing up and getting on with the business, but seeing your shop getting broken apart is heart breaking."
Wayne Bibby from the Harbourside gift shop, Scarborough, said it was impossible to count the financial cost yet.
"You put your heart and soul into your business and it is ruined," he said
The body of Darren McMinn, 48, of Bolton, was found in Yarrow reservoir in Hodge Brow, near Rivington, Lancashire, early on 3 May.
Greater Manchester Police have asked for the public's help to trace his necklace, which has "sentimental value" to his family.
A 37-year-old Bolton man appeared in court charged with murder in May.
Two further men, aged 34 and 29, were arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently on bail.
The missing gold chain with a cross has a rectangular piece with red in the centre.
Det Ch Insp Sarah Jones said: "It may assist the investigation if we can find out what happened to Darren's necklace.
"More importantly, it is of great sentimental value to Darren's family, and particularly his son, so we would like to return it them."
May Brown from Weymouth, Dorset was told her sister Martha was a "10 out of 10" tissue match.
Martha was initially refused a visa to the UK because her income was too low.
The Home Office said it reversed its decision on her visa application due to "exceptional circumstances".
It comes after more than 61,000 people signed a petition against the refusal.
Immigration Minister Robert Goodwill said: "I have carefully considered the case of May Brown and decided that her sister will be granted leave to enter the UK given the compassionate and exceptional circumstances."
Beverley De-Gale, co-founder of African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT), said Mrs Brown started a second round of chemotherapy at King's College Hospital in London last Friday in the hope the surgery would go ahead.
Mrs Brown, 23, who lives with her husband Mike and two-year old daughter Selina-May in Weymouth, had been told her only chance of survival was an urgent stem cell transplant.
Mrs Brown said she was "overjoyed" by the news of the visa u-turn.
"I would like to thank the British public and beyond, and my MP Richard Drax for their overwhelming support. I would also like to thank ACLT," she said.
"I will forever be grateful for the love and support they have shown my family and me."
Medical tests identified Martha as a perfect match, the ACLT said, but she was initially refused a visa because her teacher's salary of £222 per month was too low.
The charity, which set up the petition, said Mrs Brown had offered to cover all of her sister's costs.
Fire crews from Abergavenny, Blaenavon, Ebbw Vale and Malpas were called to the water at Llanfoist Bridge, Abergavenny, at about 03:30 GMT on Saturday.
The casualty was found clinging to a tree about 1,640ft (500m) downstream from the bridge in "extremely dangerous" water conditions.
They were pulled from the river before being checked by ambulance crews.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service warned people to be aware of the dangers of rivers, especially after heavy rainfall.
BA said the Airbus A320 was not damaged when the object hit the nose of the plane, which landed safely with no injuries reported to anyone on board.
Since April last year there have been 25 near misses between aircraft and drones, figures from the UK Airprox Board suggest. A dozen of these were denoted "Class A" which indicates there was a serious risk of collision.
The Heathrow incident comes only weeks after the British Airline Pilots Association called for rules governing the use of drones to be enforced more strictly.
UK rules on flying drones, called the dronecode, have been drawn up by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The CAA code says that drones should:
In addition, it says, unmanned aircraft fitted with a camera should not be flown within 50m of people, vehicles or buildings.
They should also not be flown over crowds or congested areas.
Pilots of drones with cameras must also be mindful of privacy when taking pictures.
Those using a drone to make money, eg for aerial photography, must get permission from the CAA and complete a training programme to demonstrate their competence with the craft.
However, these rules do not explicitly bar a smaller drone being flown near an airport even though the skies around such locations are designated as "controlled airspace".
"Anything under 7kg could, in theory, fly in controlled airspace," said a CAA spokesman.
"But by doing so it will almost certainly breach the other regulations such as endangering an aircraft or flying in a congested area."
UK laws say that anyone found guilty of endangering an aircraft by any means, not just with a drone, could face up to five years in jail.
"Do not fly anywhere near an airport," said the CAA spokesman.
"Even though you may be flying no higher than 400ft, the chances of getting too close to an aircraft get higher the closer you get to an airport."
He urged people to exercise "common sense" when flying their drones recreationally.
In the UK, two people have been prosecuted for the "dangerous and illegal" flying of a drone. Fines were imposed in both cases.
"It would be easy to do something daft," said Martin Maynard, a commercial drone pilot who uses his craft for environmental monitoring.
Mr Maynard said he had seen many posts on social media sites showing recreational drone pilots being reckless.
"One of the big trends is people seeing how far away can they fly their drone," he said. "With big antennas some can reach three or four miles."
The CAA rules state that a drone should be kept in visual line of sight at all times and no more than 500m (0.3miles) from its pilot as a maximum.
However, said Mr Maynard, even at relatively close distances of 200m or so, drones could be hard to pick out.
"If you lose sight of that little dot then you have lost it completely," he said.
Researchers at Cranfield University are engaged in a project to find out how much damage a drone could do if it hit an aircraft or was sucked into an engine.
"With small drones, the risk is not that great," said Dr Ian Horsfall, professor of armour systems at Cranfield. "It's not that different to a bird strike."
In mid-March, scientists at George Mason University said the risk from drones was "minimal" given the small number of strikes on aircraft by birds that did damage.
Birds such as turkey vultures and geese that significantly outweigh domestic drones were the only ones that did significant damage to an aircraft, they found.
"Big drones might be more of an issue than bird strikes," said Dr Horsfall. "And they are getting bigger and heavier over time."
Modern jet engines were generally quite good at coping when damaged by bird strike or a mechanical failure, said Dr Horsfall.
Drones can be pre-loaded with co-ordinates of restricted locations such as airports, a technique known as geo-fencing. Drones should resist being flown into these areas and many manufacturers make their craft land if they approach them.
However," said Dr Horsfall, "it's by no means comprehensive. Not every airport is listed in there."
Cranfield was now looking into the risks posed by the disintegration of the lithium batteries typically used by drones to see if they might cause a fire if they are embedded in the nose of an aircraft or elsewhere on its fuselage.
"The battery is the main weight in them and that's what you need to worry about," he added.
The year is 1842 and Cunard's impressive new steam ship, the Britannia, is making a stormy Atlantic crossing from Liverpool to Boston.
In the middle of the night, a group of nervous female passengers, lurching from side to side, are approached by a young man who offers them a calming drink of brandy and water.
However, he trips and struggles to reach them as the listing vessel leaves them staggering and falling about the cabin.
That man was one Charles Dickens, making the voyage with his wife and a female servant.
At the height of his fame on both sides of the Atlantic, according to records at the University of Liverpool, he paid the princely sum of £20 and nine shillings for his ticket - the equivalent of more than £1,600 ($2,500) in today's money.
For that amount you might expect the height of luxury - but the reality was very different.
Conditions were basic and Dickens did not seem a very happy passenger.
Describing his experiences in American Notes, the novelist said his companions were in "ecstasies of fear".
"By the time I did catch them, the brandy-and-water was diminished, by constant spilling, to a tea-spoonful," he added.
But although these early journeys could be unpleasant, steam ships were transforming transatlantic travel in the mid-19th Century.
They added speed and safety to journeys which, until that time, were made on far less reliable - and often dangerous - sailing ships.
Cunard, with its headquarters in Liverpool, was at the forefront of this oceanic revolution.
It was founded in 1839 by Samuel Cunard, a Canadian businessman who won the first British steamship contract to deliver mail across the Atlantic. For the first time, posting a letter to America was not simply a fanciful gamble.
The company then embraced passengers and grew rapidly. Within 30 years it was employing some 11,500 people and had amassed a fleet of 46 ships.
It was said that everyone in Liverpool either worked or knew someone who worked for Cunard.
Cunard would eventually become a byword for luxury, but not for quite some time.
"It is said that a passenger once complained to a ship's officer that water was coming down the stairs, and he replied 'madam, we only worry when water is coming up the stairs," says historian Michael Gallagher.
"It was a very conservative company and safety was the priority. The reputation still stands - in 175 years Cunard has never once been responsible for the loss of a single life.
"Cunard would always wait until new technology had been properly tested before adopting it, whereas other companies could be vulnerable to accidents with things like new propellers.
"But although the early voyages could be uncomfortable, you knew Cunard would get you there."
Author Chris Frame, who has co-written several books about Cunard ships, added: "Britannia and her sister ships had no refrigeration, so they carried livestock aboard for fresh produce - cows for milk and chickens for eggs and meat.
"The ships also used to carry a cat, which was there to handle the rats."
Britannia was a reasonable sized ship for her day, but Mr Frame said things have come a long way since then.
"The Britannia could fit inside the Queen Mary 2's main restaurant. That gives you a sense of how large ships have become."
The company soon became a household name, not least due to the famous role played by the Carpathia, the Cunard ship which helped rescue hundreds of survivors during the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
In another disaster three years later, Cunard's Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat, causing the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew. It was one of the biggest outrages of World War One. Carpathia was also lost in the conflict.
In 1919, Cunard ships began operating mostly from Southampton, taking advantage of the port's more favourable tidal and navigational bearing.
By this time, the ships offered a much smoother, sumptuous service for passengers and were commonly referred to as "floating palaces".
In 1940, the newly launched Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth were painted grey and called up for the war effort.
They transported more than a million troops including thousands of American GIs from the United States to the UK. They would go on to prove decisive during the D-Day invasion.
Hitler offered his U-boat captains the equivalent of $250,000 and the Knight's Cross to anyone who sunk either ship - about $4m (£6,250,000) in modern money.
"Winston Churchill said the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth helped shorten the war by at least a year. You don't get a bigger compliment than that," says Mr Gallagher.
"They were bringing over 15,000 troops every week ahead of D-Day. The Queen Mary still holds the record for the most people ever to be carried on a ship - 16,500."
The post-war boom years were also hugely profitable for Cunard, which by then was enjoying what is widely regarded as the golden age of ocean liner travel.
Not only were the ships making round-the-clock voyages to take American troops home, but also their new wives and families.
According to GI Brides author Nuala Calvi, by 1946 about 70,000 British women had married American soldiers, with many of them travelling to begin new lives in the US.
Ironically, it was the same post-war boom that prompted the gradual decline of the ocean liner, with the advent of modern air travel.
Before the war, aircraft posed little commercial threat to the industry. Most pre-war planes were noisy and vulnerable to bad weather. Few had the range needed for transoceanic flights, all were expensive and had very limited passenger capacities.
But as planes became bigger, safer, more popular and affordable, the need for regular, large-scale transatlantic liner crossings diminished. Passenger ships did not disappear but many began operating as cruise liners and struck deals with flight operators in order to survive.
"It certainly wasn't the end. In the 1980s for example, you could sail out to New York on the QE2 and fly back on Concorde," says Mr Gallagher. "Cunard actually bought more Concorde tickets than anyone else at the time in order to provide this service.
Author Mr Frame said: "Interestingly, there was a boom in cruise travel off the back of James Cameron's movie Titanic. People saw the romantic ocean voyage that was depicted in the early parts of the film and wanted to experience this romance for themselves.
"Today the line has three large ships, all of which exceed in size even the largest of the liners of days gone by. Queen Mary 2, the flagship of the fleet, was the largest passenger ship ever built when she entered service in 2004 and cost £550 million to build."
Perhaps nothing underlines how times have changed more than the fact that QM2 is the only true transatlantic liner left in service.
Mr Frame said: "An ocean liner is different to a cruise ship in the way it is built to undertake deep ocean voyages such as Liverpool to New York. QM2 is built strong to withstand high seas on the Atlantic and is also the fastest passenger ship in service."
Ocean Queens: The History of Cunard and will be shown on BBC 1 in the North West on Friday 29 May at 20:00 BST.
Six minors are still with top Laos side Champasak United, after it imported 23 under-age players from West Africa to an unregistered football academy in February, global players' union FIFPro told the BBC.
Fifa regulations prohibit the movement of players to a foreign club or academy until they are 18.
The club, based in the southern city Pakse, denies any wrongdoing.
"Fifa is in contact with several member associations in order to gather all information to assess the matter and safeguard the interests of the minors," a Fifa spokesperson told the BBC.
FIFPro, which has investigated the case for four months and which helped release 17 of the 23 players three months ago, said in a statement it "suspects this case is not one of its kind, but probably the tip of the iceberg".
It has been claimed that Champasak United, a newly-formed club which plays in Laos's top league, intends to profit by selling the players in future.
In a clear breach of the world football governing body's rules, the club has fielded overseas players as young as 14 and 15 in league games this season.
One 14-year-old player, Liberia's Kesselly Kamara, who scored in a full league game, says he was forced into signing a six-year deal before playing for the senior team.
His contract promised him a salary and accommodation, but Kamara says he was never paid and had to sleep on the floor of the club's stadium - as did the rest of the travelling party.
"It was very bad because you can't have 30 people sleeping in one room," Kamara, who is now playing for a club back home in Liberia's top league, told the BBC.
All those who travelled to join the "IDSEA Champasak Asia African Football Academy" did so after being invited by former Liberia international Alex Karmo, who captained the club at the time.
Young players gratefully accepted the invitation, since Liberia lacks a football academy of its own, despite being the only African country to have produced a Fifa World Footballer of the Year - George Weah in 1995.
"It's a fictitious academy, which was never legally established," said Liberian journalist and sports promoter Wleh Bedell, who led the group to Laos in February but who has since returned.
"It's an 'academy' that has no coach nor doctor. Karmo was the coach, the business manager, everything. It was completely absurd."
Following initial pressure from both FIFPro and Fifa, Champasak released 17 teenagers from the original party, with Kamara among them, by early April.
But six minors chose to remain.
FIFPro says that all have since signed contracts presented to them by Karmo, who describes himself as a "manager for players from Africa in Champasak", and club president Phonesavanh Khieulavong.
"Today we have criminal activists threatening world football and the young players, so it's important to work together. Fifa will have to be on top of this battle"
Anti-trafficking campaigner Jean-Claude Mbvounim
Can Fifa end child trafficking?
These appear to allow Champasak to pay the boys nothing at all, while also demanding that unrealistic conditions be met should the teenagers want to leave.
Karmo says the players are fed three times a day and paid every month.
"We don't give the [minors] professional contracts, just a contract that gives them bonuses," Khieulavong told the BBC.
Neither Khieulavong nor Karmo denied the presence of minors at the academies, although Karmo claimed there was just one - a 16-year-old from Guinea.
The BBC understands there are five more minors from Liberia at the club.
Along with eight senior players (six Liberians, a Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean), all are living in conditions described as "deplorable and disturbing" by Bedell.
For five months, they have been sleeping on meagre mattresses in a vast room that lacks any glass on its windows and a lock on the door.
"It's hard to live in a place with no windows. It made sleeping very difficult, because you are thinking about your life," said Kamara.
"Players are in this wild place that is reminiscent of the civil crisis in Liberia when people left their homes and were displaced, [taking shelter] in a makeshift building or auditorium," Bedell, who experienced his country's civil wars of 1989-96 and 1999-2003, told the BBC.
The minors' freedom of movement is restricted by the fact that they became illegal immigrants in March after their visas ran out.
They are hoping to receive work permits but these are unlikely to arrive since all are underage.
Karmo, who insists that he did pay Kamara, admits nine of the 14 Africans do not have work permits but asserts that they have the right documentation to stay in Laos.
"Nobody is illegal. Everybody is legal," he told the BBC.
With the club having held their passports since their arrival, the boys rarely leave the stadium where they both live and train twice a day.
Despite the situation, not everyone wants the minors to leave Laos.
"I don't want him to come back to Liberia until he succeeds in his dream," said Bella Tapeh, the mother of one 17-year-old still in Pakse.
Some of those who have returned to Liberia have told the BBC they were poorly fed, rarely paid and received no medical assistance from the club despite contracting malaria and typhoid because of the conditions.
One also described their existence at Champasak United as akin to "slave work".
"This is a very serious situation," Stephane Burchkalter, a FIFPro official, told the BBC.
"It is shocking to FIFPro that a club from Laos, which - with all due respect - is a very small football country, can lure minor players from Liberia without Fifa noticing."
One NGO, Culture Foot Solidaire, estimates that 15,000 teenage footballers are moved out of West Africa every year - many of them illegally.
FIFPro has also called on Fifa to take action against the Laos Football Federation, which has so far failed to discipline Champasak for its alleged breach of the rules.
Evidence of clubs breaking regulations on signing international players under 18 is rare but European champions Barcelona are currently serving a transfer ban for this very offence.
Meanwhile, the parents of 12 boys found themselves in financial difficulty after taking loans to pay $550 towards the cost of the trip to Laos, with one case currently in the hands of Liberian police.
There are three exceptions to Fifa's rules on the movement of players under the age of 18, but none of them apply in this case.
The Spaniard's present deal expires in 2016 and United had previously indicated they had abandoned hope of the 24-year-old signing an extension.
But following the collapse of a proposed move to Real Madrid on transfer deadline day, negotiations have begun, with De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes attending the club's training complex on Thursday.
De Gea is yet to play this season.
Manager Louis van Gaal refused to pick the former Atletico Madrid man until the end of the transfer window, such was the uncertainty surrounding his future.
De Gea, United's player of the season for the past two years, was upset at Van Gaal's claim he did not want to play in the opening games of the season, although club sources have since indicated any damage to the pair's relationship will be easily repaired.
It is still not known whether De Gea will start Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool (17:30 BST).
He was asked his views on the safety of London's roads after Daniel Harris was hit by an Olympic bus on Wednesday.
It has not been revealed if the 28-year-old was wearing a helmet, but Wiggins said forcing cyclists to take precautions would make the roads safer.
The London Cycling Campaign described it as a "damaging diversion".
Mr Harris is the 10th cyclist to die on the capital's roads this year.
Wiggins, speaking after winning his Olympic gold medal in Wednesday's time trial, said making it illegal to cycle without a helmet would make the roads safer "because ultimately, if you get knocked off and you ain't got a helmet on, then how can you kind of argue".
He added: "[People] shouldn't be riding along with iPods and phones and things on and [they] should have lights and all those things.
"So I think when there's laws passed for cyclists, then you're protected and you can say, well, I've done everything to be safe."
He went on: "It's dangerous and London is a busy city with a lot of traffic. I think we have to help ourselves sometimes.
"I haven't lived in London for 10 to 15 years now and it's got a lot busier since I was riding a bike as a kid round here, and I got knocked off several times."
Later he tweeted to point out he was not campaigning for a change in the law, and had only been responding to a question that was put to him.
"Just to confirm I haven't called for helmets to be made the law as reports suggest," Wiggins wrote.
"I wasn't on me soap box CALLING, was asked what I thought".
The fatal crash, involving a bus carrying media workers from the Olympics, happened close to the hockey centre, velodrome and Paralympic tennis arena at about 19:45 BST at the junction of Ruckholt Road and East Cross Route in Hackney.
Mr Harris, from Ilford, is the 10th cyclist to die in London since January.
The bus driver was held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. A 65-year-old man was later released on bail pending further inquiries.
Gerhard Weiss, from the London Cycling Campaign, said the group had been consulted when the first planning applications came out for the Olympic Park.
He said the authorities had been warned that Ruckholt Road was a "danger zone" in 2009, adding: "Helmets have nothing to do with collisions and it's a side-issue and a serious diversion."
Mr Weiss said: "The junction has never been good for cycling and we hoped that the Olympics would have been a good opportunity to improve matters but that didn't seem to happen."
London Mayor Boris Johnson said there were no plans to require cyclists to wear helmets or to provide them for the capital's fleet of hire bikes.
He said: "I think he's [Bradley Wiggins] quite right to say that people should do if they've got one.
"But we've absolutely no plans to make them mandatory.
"But the evidence is mixed. I have to say that in countries where they have made them compulsory, it hasn't always necessarily been good for cycling."
Chris Peck, policy co-ordinator of national cycling charity CTC, told the BBC: "Making cycle helmets compulsory would be likely to have an overall damaging effect on public health, since the health benefits of cycling massively outweigh the risks and we know that where enforced, helmet laws tend to lead to an immediate reduction in cycling."
The suspected Class B drugs were found in two vehicles during a stop and search at Dargan Road, north Belfast, on Tuesday evening.
Two men, aged 36 and 24, were arrested on suspicion of possessing a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply.
The pair are currently assisting police with their enquiries.
The vehicles have been seized for further examination.
Appealing for anyone with information about the seizure to contact the PSNI, Det Insp Keith Gawley said: "This was a proactive policing operation which has stopped a huge amount of drugs from entering Northern Ireland."
Paul Mason, 54, from Ipswich, used to weigh 70 stone (440kg) but has lost about 45 stone (285kg).
Mr Mason, who hopes surgery to remove excess skin will shed seven stone (44kg), is engaged to Rebecca Mountain.
"I am really worried, because I've got a little bit more responsibility this time," he said.
"I just can't wait to get over the recovery period.
"I'll be glad to take my dog for a walk down the road. I want to start looking for a job, and get on with life."
Mr Mason, who used to have £75 worth of takeaways and chocolate delivered to his door daily, is due to have the first operation in New York later, thanks to the donation of time by Dr Jennifer Capla.
"The surgeon is going to move the main lump on my right leg, which since Christmas has been infected," said Mr Mason, who has previously undergone gastric bypass surgery.
"It feels like I've been carrying somebody around with me.
"That's stopped me from doing anything - I've been bed resting most of the time so it doesn't flare up again."
He said an area around his waist, known as "the apron", will be removed but further operations would be needed for the "bat wing" arms.
"It would be ideal if I could have it all done in one, but your body can't stand that," he said.
Mr Mason travelled to the United States last year and has been living with Massachusetts resident Miss Mountain, who proposed to Mr Mason during filming for TV programme The View.
He hopes to continue living in the US and said his new life with Miss Mountain had given him a new outlook on the eight hour surgery.
Spain's national statistics agency said retail hiring in November grew 1.8% on last year, the fastest rate since Spain entered a deep recession in 2008.
In Italy, figures on Tuesday showed business confidence fell in December, but remained close to recent highs.
Italy and Spain are the eurozone's third and fourth largest economies.
Spanish retail sales increased 3.3% in November compared to last year, the sixteenth consecutive month of growth, according to the National Statistics Institute.
Many retailers are confident this will be the best Christmas period for business since the country's recovery started.
Higher household spending in Spain this year, fuelled by falling oil prices and tax cuts, has helped to boost Spanish shops and drive economic growth.
Spain's economy grew 0.8% in the third quarter, while the growth rate in Italy was lower than expected at 0.2%, according to EU figures.
Despite the slowdown, morale among Italian businesses and consumers remains high.
Business confidence fell to 105.8 from 107.1 in November, according to Italian statistic agency ISTAT's composite business morale index, which combines surveys of the manufacturing, retail, construction and services sectors.
Consumer confidence dropped to 117.6 from a record high of 118.4 in November, although it was still above analyst expectations.
Ian Hopkins said he planned to discuss police resources with the region's 27 MPs and mayor Andy Burnham.
Writing on Twitter, he also praised officers involved in policing Parklife music festival and an anti-extremism protest at the weekend.
The Home Office said GMP had received £4.2m in extra funding this year.
"Police officers in Manchester and around the country work very hard to keep us safe," a government spokesman added.
Mr Hopkins cited official figures, which showed the force had 8,148 officers in 2010 and 6,297 last year, a drop of 23%.
Twenty-two people were killed and 116 injured as they left an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May. Attacker Salman Abedi, 22, detonated a home-made bomb in the arena's foyer just after 22:30 BST.
About 400 officers were deployed to police Sunday's protest and officers made eight arrests for public order offences.
Bottles and flares were thrown as the UK Against Hate group and counter-demonstrators clashed.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham criticised "EDL-types" on Twitter, pointing out that the force was currently handling one of its largest-ever investigations.
He tweeted: "@gmpolice are stretched to limit & in middle of on-going investigation."
"I care about our police being unnecessarily distracted when they are worn out & still working hard to investigate a major incident."
More than 1,000 officers have been involved in the investigation into the arena terror attack.
Greater Manchester deputy mayor Beverley Hughes said no date had been scheduled for the meeting but added it would take place before Parliament's summer recess on 21 July.
But it turns out that there is an occasional interested observer of this Northern Ireland Assembly election campaign from beyond Irish shores.
Lorenzo Amuso, a correspondent with RSI, an Italian language broadcaster in Switzerland, visited Belfast on Friday for a look at the situation at Stormont.
According to him, some people in mainland Europe are wondering what's going to happen in the 2 March poll because it's the first major election in a UK region since the Brexit vote last year.
Mr Amuso said they're asking if there could there be a backlash against those who pushed for the UK to leave the EU.
"It will be interesting to see the outcome of this election for several reasons," he said.
"[Northern Ireland] voted against the Brexit, and it will be interesting to see if the voters will punish the main party who supported the Brexit.
"I spoke with a few people in Belfast and another part of Northern Ireland, and according to them Brexit represents a threat to the peace process.
"So, there are a few elements which make this election different from the others."
On his visit, Mr Amuso met political figures, people living near the Irish border and those along Belfast's peace walls, and he said he was somewhat surprised by what he found.
"I thought before coming that the situation was a little bit more clear than it is at the moment," he said.
"I've got the impression after spending a few days in Belfast that there are more tensions than I expected, more threats, more dangerous points, which can recreate some segregation culture."
With this short-notice, snap election it's probably been difficult for a lot of organisations to arrange hustings events for people to put their questions to prospective politicians.
So, the Evangelical Alliance, a Christian campaign group, has come up with an alternative in a series of short video interviews with some candidates.
Virtually all of the questions are crowd-sourced from youth and young people's organisations, and the topics touched on are much broader than just religious issues.
Peter Lynas, the group's Northern Ireland director, said: "We were aware of the falling number of young people voting, so we thought: 'How do we get them engaged?'
"Primarily the groups we were talking to probably have Christian young people, but not exclusively.
"So we said: 'If you've got a question we'll try to get them together.'"
Several hundred questions were submitted, and as many as possible were put to election hopefuls from seven parties.
"We asked some questions around trust-related issues, including RHI," Mr Lynas said.
"We asked some questions around peace and the past; we asked some questions specific to young people; and then some of the hot-button issues, and we put those through to the politicians."
One of those quizzed was Sinn Féin's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, who was tested with one of those classic political interview questions: What's the price of a pint of milk?
If he shops around a bit more, he could find somewhere that sells two litres for two quid.

The Household Expenditure Survey Report 2012-2013 compares data with the previous report of 2005-2006.
The report found that average household spending had increased by 12 per cent, while household income went up by five per cent.
Figures show the average Guernsey household spends just over ??4,530 per month.
The report found that average household expenditure in the island rose to just over ??54,000 per year.
??269.32 Housing, maintenance and energy
??122.98 Recreation and culture
??95.96 Transport - on and off island
??93.93 Food and non-alcoholic drinks
Housing, fuel and power account for the largest proportion of household spending at 25% of total outgoings.
The average weekly shop costs just under ??100, but the proportion of expenditure on food has decreased over the past 50 years, the survey said.
Pierre Blampied, the managing director of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients Guernsey, said: "The percentage of income going towards a mortgage is far greater than it used to be. People tend to live beyond their means. It doesn't surprise me that people are eating into their savings."
Just over 1,000 local households took part in the survey, which is carried out every five to seven years.
Tomas Hornay, 36, attacked Luis Nazario Ximines with two kitchen knives at the house they shared in Dungannon, County Tyrone, on 1 August 2013.
Hornay will find out the minimum number of years he must serve on Friday.
On Tuesday, the prosecution argued the starting point should be 12 years, while the defence said it should be no more than nine years.
A prosecution QC said while it was accepted that Hornay was currently being treated for a "mental impairment", it was not accepted, nor had the jury, that he was suffering from a substantial or severe mental abnormality at the time, thereby diminishing his responsibility.
A defence QC said while they accept Hornay had armed himself with two knives, the attack was more spontaneous than premeditated and it was a borderline case between murder and manslaughter based on the medical evidence.
Hornay has been treated at a secure mental health unit since the murder.
During the trial, the court heard that Hornay told doctors he heard "several voices" telling him to kill his friend after the victim insulted his wife.
The court heard Mr Ximines was asleep in the house when Hornay armed himself with two kitchen knives, mixed chilli seeds in some water and threw the mixture into his victim's face.
He stabbed him about the neck and chest, causing fatal injuries.
There was outrage on social media when pictures surfaced of him with a "mystery woman".
The two-time Olympic champion confirmed the rumours and apologised. His wife, fellow badminton star Xie Xingfang, had their first child on 5 November.
Social media users quickly identified the woman he was seen with in the photos as actress and model Zhao Yaqi.
Cheng Hao Chen wrote: "Brother, do you know that you were the pride of 1.3 billion Chinese people? How about now?"
After the pictures emerged, another user, Duo Duo Wa Bai Cai, said: "A shameless mistake has sent you to hell from heaven.
"No matter how outstanding your achievements are, you will fall short of being a father and a husband! Sorry, super Dan, this is unforgivable - you have neglected your responsibility as a man!"
Lin, nicknamed Super Dan, used to be world number one but is now ranked third, the Straits Times reports.
"As a man, I will not defend myself," he wrote. "But my behaviour has hurt my family. I apologise to my family here. Sorry."
The drop was due to the problem of sea lice, which led to fish being harvested at a younger age.
However, a shortage of supply, combined with a global rise in demand, pushed the price of Scottish salmon up by 81%.
Producer Marine Harvest doubled its profits despite a 16% drop in volume for the fourth quarter of 2016.
Global production of Atlantic salmon dropped by 10%, while average prices were up 53% across the sector.
The final three months of the year saw total weight harvested from all Scottish salmon farms drop to 38,700 tonnes.
Rising prices also led to a decline in consumption in the European Union by 7%.
The volume of salmon sold into Asian markets declined by 12%, with the lack of large fish from European producers blamed for the drop.
Marine Harvest reported the cost of handling its "biological issues" - including sea lice - rose by 28% per kilogramme of salmon produced, compared with the end of 2015.
"This is mainly due to increased health and feed costs," it stated. "Prior biological challenges have contributed to a high cost level for salmon of Scottish origin also in the fourth quarter."
However, it reported costs were down "due to a general improvement in the biological performance of the fish being harvested".
Running through until late Saturday night, the festival's acts include Skye musicians, DJs and bands such as Niteworks.
Also performing over the two days will be King Creosote, Public Service Broadcasting, Donnie Munro, Skipinnish, Capercaillie and The Revenge.
Skye-born stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill and his Drop and Roll show will also feature during the festival.
John Milburn, 19, of Crosby, was taken ill at the Cream Grand Finale at Nation in Wolstenholme Square on Saturday and later died in hospital.
Merseyside Police said post-mortem examination results had been withheld "pending toxicology reports".
A 47-year-old man, who was also taken ill, remains in a "stable but critical condition", police added.
The circumstances surrounding what happened to both men are being investigated by officers.
The so-called "super club" first opened its doors at Nation in 1992 and went on to become an international brand, branching out into Cream Ibiza and the Creamfields festival.
Nation is closing to be replaced by a new music venue.
Ralston Dodd, 25, was jailed in November after he admitted stabbing a man three times in the back following an argument on a north London street.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said such releases in error were "extremely rare" and it was investigating.
A warrant for Dodd's arrest has been issued.
Dodd attacked a 21-year-old man with a knife in Islington on 18 September 2016, before going on the run.
He was arrested on 11 October and was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment at Blackfriars Crown Court on 11 November after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
After his sentencing, Det Insp Will Lexton-Jones said the inquiry had "ultimately led to an extremely dangerous offender being jailed".
He added: "This was an appalling act of violence that almost cost a man his life. The seriousness of this offence is reflected in the extensive prison sentence."
Dodd, from Islington, was being held in custody at HMP Thameside in south-east London before his release.
The Sun newspaper reported that after he was released he was spotted in a car by his victim.
His father told the newspaper his son "could have died" in the attack.
"I held my son and thought he was going to die. How can this happen without anyone noticing?," he said.
An MoJ spokeswoman said such releases in error are "extremely rare but we take any case very seriously".
"We are urgently investigating so we learn the lessons to prevent it happening again," she said.
"Public protection is our priority."

"Don't lose the charm of dreaming. Dare to dream," Pope Francis told the crowd in Morelia on Tuesday.
"I understand that often it is difficult to feel your value when you are continually exposed to the loss of friends or relatives at the hands of the drug trade, of drugs themselves, of criminal organisations that sow terror.

They spoke to BBC Asian Network on the understanding their real names would not be used, with one recalling how unmarried women were advised to shun her in case pregnancy difficulties were "passed on".
Another called for more understanding about a subject she said was "taboo" in South Asian communities.
The women are from these communities in the West Midlands and an infertility specialist said such attitudes were familiar.
Dr Geetha Venkhat, from Harley Street Fertility Clinic, said: "The blame [for miscarriage] is usually put on [the woman]. Some people believe it's supernatural, maybe it’s a curse, but scientifically none of this makes any sense.
"We have to educate people in our community."
The light beams travel through the eyelids and this tells the brain to re-set the body's inner biological clock, the Stanford researchers believe.
They tested the method in 39 volunteers and found it shifted a person's body clock by about two hours.
An hour of the flashlight therapy was enough to achieve this effect.
People's bodies synchronise to the 24-hour pattern of daytime and night they are used to. And when they travel across time zones to a new light-dark schedule, they need to realign.
While most people can easily manage a long-haul flight across one or two time zones, crossing several time zones messes with the body clock.
Jet lag can leave travellers tired, irritable and disorientated for days.
As a remedy, some people take melatonin tablets, which mimic a hormone released in the evening.
Some try phototherapy - light boxes that simulate daylight.
But Dr Jamie Zeitzer and colleagues at Stanford University School of Medicine believe sleeping in front of a strobe light could work better.
They asked volunteers to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day for about two weeks.
Next, they were asked to sleep in the lab, where some were exposed to continuous light and others a strobe light (two-millisecond flashes of light, similar to a camera flash, 10 seconds apart) for an hour.
The flashing-light group reported a nearly two-hour delay in the onset of sleepiness the following night.
In comparison, the delay in sleepiness was 36 minutes for the continuous-light group.
Dr Zeitzer calls his therapy "biological hacking". Cells in the back of the eye that detect the light send messages to a part of the brain that sets the body clock.
The light fools the brain into thinking the day is longer than it really is, which shifts the inner clock.
"This could be a new way of adjusting much more quickly to time changes than other methods in use today," Dr Zeitzer said.
Flashing light was particularly powerful because it gave the light-detecting cells at the back of the eye a chance to recover or recalibrate in the darkness between the flashes, he added.
Stuart Peirson, an expert in neuroscience at Oxford University, said: "It is great to see advances in this area being translated into effective treatments.
"Whilst drugs can be used to shift the clock, light is readily available and is what our bodies have evolved to respond to.
"I'm amazed that they got such a dramatic effect.
"You would normally have to sit in front of a light box for several hours to get an effect.
"The idea underlying this is certainly based on solid biology."
The coastguard was called at 16:44 GMT on Wednesday after the pair got stranded between Constitution Hill and Clarach near the Ceredigion town.

Edwardian goalkeeper Leigh Richmond Roose - born in Holt, Wrexham, in 1877 - dominated the sport, playing for many clubs and winning 24 caps for Wales.
He also made headlines off the pitch, courting married music hall star Marie Lloyd.
Children and artists will create a collage of Rhoose in Wrexham.
The pupils from Alexandra Community Primary School and St Giles VC Church in Wales Primary will recreate the footballer's role in the first international match to be captured on film, between Wales and Ireland at Wrexham's Racecourse ground on 2 April 1906.
The silent black and white film, which lasts for two minutes 10 seconds, is now lodged for safe keeping with the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales, in Aberystwyth.
Kevin Critchley, the manager of Eagles Meadow shopping centre where the collage is to be displayed, said: "It has always been and always will be a football-mad town and it is right and proper we remember the important part Wrexham has played in the history of world football, along with the story of the remarkable Leigh Richmond Roose."
Roose started his amateur career at Aberystwyth Town in 1895, while studying medicine at the university there.
At first he was famed for his antics - turning his back on play to tell jokes to the crowd and performing acrobatics from the crossbar.
But within five years he had led the team to the Welsh Cup and was increasingly appreciated for the style of play which earned him his big money move to the English First Division.
He went onto play for Stoke City, Everton, Sunderland, Celtic, Aston Villa and Woolwich Arsenal.
His biographer, Spencer Vignes, explained the Football Association was even forced to change the rules of the game because of him.
"Before Leigh, goalkeepers were just shot-stoppers, if they came off their line they had no protection from being punched, shoulder-charged and trampled by the forwards, in a game which was vastly more physical than today.
"Usually they were too terrified to come out of their goal, even though - in those days - they were allowed to handle the ball anywhere in their own half of the field.
"But Leigh was such a physical specimen that he could take on the forwards at their own game.
"He'd flatten the striker, catch the ball, and carry play up field like a rugby fullback does today.
"So in 1912, at the end of his career, the rules were changed so that keepers could only handle the ball inside the penalty area."
At the outbreak of World War One, Roose joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, and latterly the Royal Fusiliers, for whom he earned the Military Medal.
But just weeks after learning of the honour, Roose was killed on 7 October, 1916, in the final days of The Battle of The Somme.
The group, aged between 43 and 76, were detained on Tuesday after raids were carried out on 12 properties in the London and Kent areas.
Brian Reader has been named as the 76-year-old. He was arrested in Dartford.
The contents of 56 safe deposit boxes were taken during the raid in London's jewellery district over the Easter weekend.
All nine suspects, described as white British men, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle.
Four, aged between 48 and 74, were arrested in Enfield, north London.
A 59-year-old was detained in north London while Mr Reader was held alongside a 50-year-old in Dartford, Kent.
The two remaining men were also arrested in North London.
Officers have continued to search a number of addresses in connection with the arrests.
Det Supt Craig Turner, head of the Met Police Flying Squad, appealed for information about a white Transit van seen at the time of the raid.
He said the vehicle, registration DU53 VNG, had been captured on CCTV near Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd on 2 April.
The footage had been in police hands for "quite a period of time", Det Supt Turner said, but it had not been released for operational reasons.
The Flying Squad also apologised after confirming alarm response procedures had not been followed, but rejected the suggestion they were bungling "Keystone Kops".
There has been no official detail of what was stolen but it is believed jewellery worth up to £200m was taken during the raid.
The Premiership leaders conceded three tries in the first eight minutes and eight in total as they were beaten 64-23 at Allianz Park on Sunday.
"We didn't see it coming and it's hard to put into words what happened out there," he told BBC Radio London.

Saracens conceded the most points at home in their history as they suffered just their second defeat of the season.
"It went wrong right from the beginning and we were given a real lesson by Wasps with and without the ball," McCall added.
"When you concede 60 points, there is clearly an issue. Every time they got down our end they came away with a try.
"We have shown some real energy and resilience in the last couple of performances but that, as a collective, wasn't the case against Wasps."
Saracens had seven players on Six Nations duty with England in Italy, but McCall declined to blame international commitments for their defeat.
"This squad we played with had a great result at Exeter last week, so we are not going to use that as an excuse," the 48-year-old said.

After Mohammed Rehman, 25, discussed possible targets on Twitter under the name Silent Bomber, an investigator contacted him.
Mr Rehman allegedly told him he was planning a martyr operation.
He and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, both of Reading, deny charges of preparing terrorist acts.
About two weeks before their arrest, Mr Rehman's Twitter account came to the attention of anti-terrorism authorities.
He argued with and taunted other users after asking whether his target should be a "Westfield shopping centre or London Underground".
Mr Rehman allegedly wanted to carry out an attack on the 10th anniversary of the 7 July bombings.
Prosecutor Tony Badenoch QC told an Old Bailey jury an undercover investigator, who used the name Abu Mohammed, then engaged Mr Rehman in a private conversation.
He said: "Silent Bomber revealed his true intentions, asking 'how dumb these Kuffar are lol'."
Mr Rehman also told the officer he was "preparing against them" before his account was suspended, but he reactivated it under slightly different details a week later, the court heard.
"He told the undercover investigator that he was preparing for a Istishaadi (martyr) operation," Mr Badenoch said.
"The level of commitment to an atrocity was perfectly clear, as Mohammed Rehman also asked the undercover investigator if he wanted to join him in a joint operation or whether he preferred to follow the lone-wolf route."
He is also charged with possessing an article for terrorist purposes.

She is taking a road trip to meet small groups of voters in Iowa, having announced her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on Sunday.
She had been expected to declare her candidacy for months.
Mrs Clinton ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 but lost to Barack Obama.
A few hours into her journey from New York to Iowa, Mrs Clinton tweeted: "Road trip! Loaded the van & set off for IA. Met a great family when we stopped this afternoon. Many more to come. -H."
Mrs Clinton's team said she would spend the next few weeks building up grassroots support in the early Democratic primary states.
Her first rally, to officially kick off her campaign, is not expected until mid-May. But her trip to Iowa is to be a "listening tour" where Mrs Clinton will meet voters at low-key events.
Later this week, she is expected to meet groups of students, teachers and small business owners.
On Sunday, Mrs Clinton launched her campaign website and declared in a video that she was running for president.
"Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times," she said, "but the deck is still stacked in favour of those at the top.
She added that she wanted to be a champion for "everyday Americans".
The video features a number of Americans talking about their hopes and aspirations.
The launch of Hillary Clinton's campaign for the presidency was meant to be low-key. It was meant to reflect the idea that it was all about ordinary Americans and the everyday concerns of the middle class.
But whether she likes it or not, Mrs Clinton is a huge name in politics and reinventing herself as the embodiment of change won't be easy.
True, she is unlikely to face any stiff competition from her own side for the nomination, but Republicans have been unrelenting in their attacks on her and that will only increase.
She will also have to find a convincing vision for America that will capture the imagination of the voters. Elections are usually about the future and Mrs Clinton has to prove that she's not all about the past.
How Twitter reacted
Is this Hillary Clinton's time?
Mrs Clinton has already had the backing of Mr Obama, who said on Saturday that she would make an "excellent president".
But the attacks from Republicans have already started.
Jeb Bush, former Florida Governor and brother of George W Bush who expected to stand as a Republican candidate, tweeted: "We must do better than Hillary."
In his own online video on Sunday, he focused on foreign policy, saying: "We must do better than the Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has damaged relationships with our allies and emboldened our enemies."
Another Republican presidential contender. Rand Paul, also criticised Mrs Clinton for her handling of a September 2012 attack on a US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in which the US ambassador was among those killed.
He also said questions remained about funds received by a charity set up by Mr and Mrs Clinton.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio is expected to announce his candidacy for his party's nomination at an event in Miami later on Monday.
The bout had been scheduled to take place in Manchester on 9 July.
Undefeated Fury, 27, posted on Instagram that he had been forced to cancel the fight after injuring himself while running in the Lake District.
"They've said it's not broken but it's badly sprained and to keep off it for six to seven weeks," he said.
Peter Fury, his uncle and trainer, said on Twitter: "Fight date will be postponed with new date released very soon, probably today."
Tyson Fury took the WBA and WBO heavyweight titles from Klitschko in their first bout in November.
"Of course, I am currently totally disappointed about the cancellation," Klitschko said.
"As well as for my fans, I´m very sorry, they were all very excited for this rematch. But one thing is also clear, this just means I'll get my belt a few weeks later."
Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy added: "It's very unfortunate at this crucial stage of Tyson's preparations that this injury has occurred with just a couple of weeks to go.
"There was no way Tyson could go into the fight against Wladimir Klitschko less than 100% fit."
Saturday will see a brief return to sunnier conditions, before thundery showers set in, the Met Office said.
Travellers and holidaymakers faced delays on wet roads in areas on Friday, and downpours brought services at several London Tube stations to a halt.
A Met Office warning for wind and rain remains in place for south-east England until late morning.
Cloud is then expected to break providing drier, brighter conditions.
Temperatures could reach 21C (70F) in London, the high teens in the Midlands, and around 15C (59F) in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Forecaster Alex Burkill said: "Most places should be dry by lunchtime today.
"It should be a much drier, brighter and much more pleasant day."
Sunday will see conditions take a turn for the worse, although it is not expected to be as wet as Friday, Mr Burkill added.
"By the time most people wake up on Sunday morning it is going to be a rather cloudy day."
Most areas of the UK are expected to see between five and 10mm of rainfall, except for Northern Ireland, which is predicted to see as much as 30mm.
Rain is expected to move eastwards throughout the day, with blustery and wet conditions set to last into early next week.
"Monday is looking pretty blustery with some heavy, thundery showers expected, but those should ease by the middle of the week," Mr Burkill said.
Helen Thorne from UCAS told BBC Radio Scotland that 28,300 Scottish students had successfully secured their courses.
More than 140,000 students north of the border have received their results.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority has sent out scores from National 4 and 5, Higher, Advanced Higher and Scottish Baccalaureate exams.
The Scottish government said the exams had seen "another highly successful set of results", including:
140,000
Pupils receiving results
50,000
Pupils getting results by text
28,300 Scots pupils securing higher education places
27,400 Scots pupils going to Scottish universities and colleges
3,900 EU pupils securing places in Scotland
The latest results from the SQA suggested that problems with the 2015 Higher Maths exam have not been repeated. The 2015 pass mark had to be cut to 34% after the exam was deemed too difficult, but the 2016 pass mark was approximately 50%.
Fears that replacing part of the Higher English exam against a tight deadline would lead to problems also proved unfounded, with the pass mark for that subject also 50%.
Pass rates in National 4 and 5 exams were roughly in line with those in 2015, while the percentage of candidates passing their Higher exams dipped slightly from 79.2% to 77.2% - although new Higher exams have been phased in over this period.
New Advanced Higher exams were introduced for 2016, with an overall 81.7% pass rate.
Dr Janet Brown, the SQA's chief executive and Scotland's chief examining officer, paid tribute to pupils, teachers, lecturers parents and carers.
She said: "This is the first year candidates will have been offered the full range of National Courses as part of Curriculum for Excellence. These results are testament to the dedication of the entire Scottish education system, working in partnership for the benefit of our young people.
"The new qualifications are performing well and the results clearly are enabling young people to transition between the levels and develop a wider range of skills.
"It is important to recognise the different paths candidates can take to achieve success, whether it be in National Courses, Skills for Work or National Progression Awards."
The Royal Mail said it had "pulled out all the stops" to make sure results were delivered in the post on time, while more than 50,000 pupils also signed up to get their results online or via text message.
Speaking to the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme, UCAS director Ms Thorne said: "There is really good news, we have got 28,300 Scottish students who have secured a place at university today and that is the highest that we have ever seen on Scottish results day.
"So we want to say a big congratulations to all of them and when the UCAS track system opens students will be able to log in and see if they have got their university place."
Ms Thorne also said the number of students from EU countries being accepted to Scottish universities was up 19% to 3,900, saying there was "no evidence of EU students being put off" by the Brexit vote.
The National Union of Students welcomed the "hugely encouraging" figures, while Colleges Scotland said it was "delighted" with the results.
Education Secretary John Swinney said students could be "extremely proud of their efforts".
Mr Swinney said: "Today's results show that Scotland's learners continue to perform very well, with the second highest number of Higher passes on record, despite a fall in the size of the S5 and S6 year groups. This year is only the second time in history that we have seen more than 150,000 Higher passes, up from around 112,000 just ten years ago.
"It is encouraging to see strong performances in qualifications related to wider skills for life and work and I greatly welcome the increase of attainment in Awards, National Certificates and National Progression Awards."
Opposition parties also welcomed the results, with Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Liz Smith welcoming the fact that issues from 2015 appeared to have been addressed.
Labour's Iain Gray also voiced congratulations to pupils whose "hard work has paid off", although he noted concern about the drop in the pass rate for Highers and called on the government to build on the results by giving schools extra resources.
The Royal Mail said results had been delivered to Scottish students in 45 countries around the world, from Australia to Singapore.
Planning teams had been working for months to ensure that all results are delivered on time.
Head of special events and planning Derek Keir said: "This is a massive day for every pupil in Scotland waiting for their results.
"All of our postmen and women, many of whom have children themselves, understand just how important this day is for families. Our people pull out all the stops to ensure the results are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible."
Skills Development Scotland has set up a free helpline to offer advice, information and support for pupils and parents, including information on college and university courses, apprenticeships, employment and volunteering. The number is 0808 100 8000.
The 29-year-old has negotiated an early release from his contract with Rangers, where he had been for three seasons.
"If you get your goalkeeper right, it can save you 10 points a season at least," said manager McKinnon.
"He wants to push back into that Scotland squad, which means we are getting a hungry player."
Bell, who has one Scotland cap, did not make a single appearance for Rangers last season after manager Mark Warburton signed Wes Foderingham.
Now Rangers are in talks to sign Matt Gilks, the Scotland international goalkeeper released by Burnley.
Bell, who had loan spells with Montrose and Queen of the South while he was with Kilmarnock before joining Rangers in 2013, had attracted rival interest before agreeing a two-year contract at Tannadice.
"We targeted Cammy and we had to work hard behind the scenes," McKinnon told BBC Scotland. "It was nearly hijacked at the last minute.
"It is a marquee signing for us and - as you can tell - I am absolutely delighted
"I think that is a key area of the squad that we had to address when we came in here."
The news of Bell's capture came as United paraded McKinnon's first signing as manager - Stewart Murdoch, the midfielder released by Ross County - for photographers.
"He is going to be a big player for us next season," said the United manager of the 26-year-old who made 34 appearances in his season with the Premiership club.
"He is everything we are looking for in a player.
"He is a good football player, he is the right age, professional, he can pass, he can win the ball back, go box-to-box if we like, or he can sit, so he is the ideal player for next season and I am absolutely delighted to have him on board."
McKinnon also says he is hopeful there will be more additions to his squad in the coming days.
"We are in discussions with more players at the moment," he added.
"The people I am speaking to are actually in contract with other clubs and it is negotiations at the moment.
"Hopefully, in the next 10 days, we may have two or three signings."
The Care Quality Commission has been forced to apologise to hundreds of GPs for giving incorrect patient safety risk assessments.
A BBC investigation found serious errors in the calculations used by the CQC.
The British Medical Association is calling for the whole banding system to be withdrawn.
Around 60 practices have been taken out of the highest risk categories and four low-risk surgeries need early inspection.
John Flather, a GP in Hadleigh, Suffolk, said his practice had been incorrectly banded as high risk.
He said he was "totally disgusted by the process" and that a formal complaint had been made.
He told the BBC: "Our reputation, which has been built over many years, has been tarnished by incompetence that they purport to eradicate.
"If they had only given us a chance to view their ratings we could have pointed out their errors and avoided this mess."
Dr Chris Cullen, from Ipswich, said: "My practice was rated for highest risk despite being one of the very high achieving practices in the country.
"The CQC claim we gave flu jabs to 24% of our patients, in fact it was over 96%.
"Our true rating should be for lowest risk, but the CQC aren't interested and have not returned our calls."
Practices were judged on 38 indicators of performance, ranging from how easily patients managed to get appointments to how good doctors were at picking up conditions such as dementia.
Practices were graded in six bands, with Band 1 being the highest concern, and Band 6 the least risky.
The majority were of low concern, but 11% were rated in the highest risk band.
The BBC discovered that for one indicator, whether patients were able to get an appointment with a GP or nurse the last time they tried, the calculations were so flawed that the CQC has been forced to remove the indicator altogether.
A further four indicators had to be refined based on revisions to data provided to the CQC by NHS England.
Hundreds of practices will now be assigned a different band.
In its initial register, published two weeks ago, the health watchdog ranked 7,276 practices out of the total 7,661 in England, and placed 864 practices in the "highest concern" category.
As a result of the recalculations, around 60 practices will be lifted out of the two "highest concern" categories, and four that were previously deemed low-risk have been found to be in need of early inspection.
The CQC says 519 practices will move bands, but most were between the lowest risk bands.
The CQC register was set up to help target inspections, and the watchdog said it did not necessarily indicate poor GP surgery performance.
Sir Mike Richards, chief inspector of hospitals for the CQC, told the BBC: "We will make them a big apology. This only became apparent when we ran the data on the thousands of practices rather than just the hundreds that we tested them on."
He defended the publication of the risk bands in the interest of transparency.
He said: "We are using the data to help us know where we might go first. Our judgement comes from a combination of data and inspection. The main thing that is going to matter is that we are going to be inspecting every practice."
Measures removed
Measures recalculated
The British Medical Association said mistakes by the CQC risked "doing serious harm" to the reputation of good surgeries.
Its GP committee chair, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said: "The banding system as a whole needs to be withdrawn.
We warned at the time that simplistic targets would fail to take into account the enormous pressures GP practices are facing, and that skewed and limited information does not tell us about the quality of care.
"These failings have the potential to seriously undermine the trust in the system and patients' confidence in their GP and it is only right that all of those practices affected are now contacted and receive a full apology."
The RNLI and coastguard have been searching the loch's Urquhart Bay while police have been looking in and around the nearby village of Drumnadrochit.
Jason Gates, 36, was formally reported missing from Hampshire on Thursday.
Police Scotland said that there was a sighting of Mr Gates in Aviemore in the Highlands on 12 March and believed that he later headed for Drumnadrochit.
Mr Gates is described as being about 6ft 3in tall, of a slim build, with short cropped greying hair and stubble.
It was not known what clothes he is wearing, but police said he was known to often wear black jeans, a t-shirt, a black padded jacket or a tweed jacket.
The RNLI's Loch Ness lifeboat has been searching the loch, while the coastguard helicopter has been involved in checks of forestry in the area.
The activists have been banned from Heathrow and will have to do unpaid community work.
The barrister representing four of the activists earlier said the group had acted on "deeply-held beliefs".
They were found guilty last month of aggravated trespass and entering a security-restricted area.
During the trial the court heard the protesters' actions caused "astronomical" costs and disruption.
All the defendants must carry out 120 hours unpaid work, apart from protesters Graham Thompson, Danielle Paffard and Roberto Basto, who have previous convictions and will carry out 180 hours.
A Heathrow spokesman said: "When individuals illegally enter the airport, they cause disruption to thousands of passengers going about their business and when their actions extend airside they endanger lives.
"Heathrow supports the right to peaceful protest, but we will always prioritise the safe and smooth running of our airport."
The demonstration took place last July when the defendants from the direct action group Plane Stupid cut through a fence at Heathrow Airport and chained themselves together on a runway.
They were told when they were found guilty they could expect to receive jail sentences.
Arguing against a prison sentence Kirsty Brimelow QC, speaking for four of the defendants, told Willesden Magistrates Court they believed they had been "acting in the public interest" and highlighted what she called a "hard-fought for" tradition of civil disobedience.
She said: "We have come a long way since the days of the suffragettes, since those people would have been locked up and treated appallingly."
District Judge Deborah Wright said her understanding was that "immense" costs had been caused by the protest.
Prosecutor Robert Short said prosecution costs had reached about £14,000.
The defendants:
Ian Bendall was subjected to a "brutal" attack at Century Mill in Farnworth, Bolton, on 9 June, and died four days later in hospital, police said.
The 43-year-old's family paid tribute to him saying he was "a cheeky chappy who carried a permanent smile".
Four people have been charged with his murder and are due at Manchester Crown Court on 11 August.
This is not an uncommon scene in a country where unemployment stands at 26.7% - the highest on record since 1995, a year after the end of apartheid.
Since the beginning of the year, 300,000 jobs have also been lost, with the hardest hit being young people.
"I've given up on job hunting after 12 years of trying, it's depressing," says Thabiso Molaka, who sells mobile phone chargers in Hyde Park, one of Johannesburg's posh northern suburbs.
"I decided to start selling goods to feed my family," says the 28-year-old, who finished high school and travels hundreds of kilometres to get to Johannesburg every day.
Of South Africa's estimated five million people who are unemployed, 3.5 million are under 35, more than 170,000 of them, including Anthea Malwandle, are university graduates.
A photograph of Ms Malwandle holding a placard stating she had a degree in chemical engineering and was jobless recently went viral on social media.
"After job hunting for more than a year, I wondered if all the money and hard work spent on tertiary education were worth it," she subsequently told a local radio station.
Thanks to the publicity, Ms Malwandle's future seems secure after a number of prospective employers phoned in, offering her a job.
The South African government has come under fire from its political opponents who blame it for the country's economic woes.
One in four people in the labour force failed to find work in 2015, a far cry from the government's goal of reducing unemployment to below 15% by 2014.
The government insists it has made progress in tackling youth unemployment, though Buti Manamela, the minister in charge of youth development, admits there is a crisis.
He says the government has been the biggest employer.
"But this is unsustainable, the private sector has to come in," the minister says.
Most days in downtown Johannesburg, university students line up to drop off their CVs at a job-seekers centre called Harambee.
The organisation tries to link young people who are currently locked out of the formal economy with prospective employers.
They are taught about the dos and don'ts of how to handle themselves during job interviews - and tips such as having professional email addresses.
"In most cases, young people are not aware of job opportunities that exist, so we go out there to recruit them," says Lebo Nke, an Harambee executive.
Looking for a job takes up a lot of energy.
Harambee has also found that feeding job seekers makes things a little easy for them.
"Just by introducing peanut butter sandwiches and fruit, test assessment scores went up by 30%, because many of them come to our centres very hungry and therefore not able to put their best foot forward," says Ms Nke.
Ms Malwandle may have captured the heart of the nation with her innovative way of getting the attention of potential employers.
But the hundreds of thousands of graduates who remain unemployed cut face are unlikely to be so lucky.
The Ethiopian Football Federation president Juneydi Basha told BBC Sport that "the main reason for the decision was poor results at CHAN as well as in World Cup and African Cup of nations qualifying."
Gebremedhin Haile has been appointed on an interim basis for Ethiopia's remaining 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Lesotho and Seychelles.
He is a former international and has been coaching premier league side Mekelakeya since 2011 season and has won the Ethiopian Cup twice.
Ethiopia failed to get past the group stage of the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda earlier this year picking up just one point from three games.
Last year they were knocked out of 2018 World Cup qualifying by Congo losing 6-4 on aggregate.
More recently results against Algeria have left them with little chance of qualifying for the 2017 Nations Cup in Gabon.
Firstly they lost 7-1 away in Algeria in March and then drew 3-3 at home with the same opponents in two consecutive qualifiers.
Ethiopia had led on three occasions in the second match but were unable to secure victory.
The poor performance of the Walyas has left them trailing by five points behind Algeria's Desert Foxes in Group J with two matches to play.
In a statement, the Ethiopian Football Federation cited "unmet targets" for Sahile's dismissal along with members of the federation's technical committee.
The body said it has picked Sahile's successor but would disclose his identity only in the "next few days" once terms had been agreed.
Sahile, an American of Ethiopian descent, is the third manager to be given his marching orders since Ethiopia came within two matches of a first-ever World Cup appearance in Brazil two years ago.
But Ethiopia's fortunes have since waned and the Walyas failed to qualify for last year's Nations Cup after finishing bottom of the group with just one win.
They next face Lesotho and Seychelles in June and September, with table toppers Algeria needing a solitary point to ensure their progress to next year's finals in Gabon.
The witness lived at St Joseph's in Termonbacca, Londonderry, in the 1950s.
He said he became a zombie, introverted and fearing the next beating.
The Historical Abuse Inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children's residential institutions from 1922 to 1995.
Termonbacca and another Derry home, Nazareth House, were run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
The former Termonbacca resident said he lay soaked in urine at night in an attempt to dissuade any sexual abusers.
The man, now 65, said he was never told he had brothers in the same home and sisters in another nearby.
He said he witnessed an eight-year-old boy being sexually abused, a 10-year-old boy being raped and that he had been hit on the head with a steel industrial ladle.
He said he complained about his treatment to a priest after leaving the home.
The response was: "You must never speak about this, you must understand... you and the other orphans are bastards. You are the product of an evil and satanic relationship. You never had a chance."
The witness said: "That was the day I left the Catholic Church."
He added: "The truth is setting me free today more than this commission knows. I have come here to tell the truth and as I am reaching out, I am reaching out in healing and trying to forgive, but at this moment I cannot.
"I have waited 65 years to say this. When I was reared by the Sisters of the Congregation of Nazareth it was equivalent to being reared by the Taliban, such was their sadism, their lack of empathy, their fundamentalism, their lack of dignity to the little helpless boy."
He said he ran away but was brought back time after time.
One nun smirked and said: "Welcome back, your majesty," the witness said. "Then the beatings would start."
The inquiry, being held in Banbridge, County Down, is chaired by retired judge Sir Anthony Hart and is considering cases in 13 residential institutions.
Public hearings are due to finish in June 2015, with the inquiry team to report to the Northern Ireland Executive by the start of 2016.
Twelve months after losing for the first time in a final, the Gunners proved too strong for a Bristol team making their debut final appearance.
The Gunners scored the opener when Little finished off a fine solo run and Fleeting's header doubled the lead.
Arsenal comfortably saw out the match at Coventry's Ricoh Arena, although Academy's Helen Bleazard hit the bar.
For long spells Arsenal held the upper hand despite Academy, three times semi-final losers to Arsenal, starting the game well.
Having held their opponents to a 2-2 Super League draw last week, the West Country side went into the game with justifiable confidence.
And after just two minutes central defender Jemma Rose headed narrowly wide from a corner by captain Corrinne Yorston, who was in Arsenal's defeated side last year.
But following the early exchanges the Gunners took control and went ahead when midfielder Little jinked her way past two defenders to shoot home in the 19th minute.
The advantage was doubled 13 minutes later, a frantic series of incidents in the Academy penalty area leading to the goal.
After a Fleeting shot hit the bar left winger Rachel Yankey crossed for striker Ellen White to send in a header that was well saved by goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain.
But when the ball ran out for a throw-in it was quickly taken for left back Niamh Fahey to float in a cross that Fleeting headed into the top corner of the net.
Little might have scored again four minutes into the second half, but her low 12-yard shot was stopped by the diving Chamberlain.
A further goal at that stage would almost certainly have finished off Bristol, but they hit back well to have their best spell of the match.
Left winger Bleazard was unfortunate not to reduce the arrears in the 68th minute, her 20-yard free-kick bouncing off the bar.
But Little was then denied again by Chamberlain, who spread herself to make a brilliant save from the midfielder's 81st minute volley.
And the Gunners comfortably played out the closing stages to claim the trophy for the fifth time in six years.
Both teams, through reaching the FA Cup final, have qualified for next season's Champions League - Arsenal for the ninth time in 10 years, Bristol foi the first time ever.
Arsenal manager Laura Harvey:
"As a group the last 12 months have been tough.
"We said we wouldn't forget that feeling of last year and that has been our thing through the FA Cup - we wanted to make sure we brought it back home.
"We took our foot off the pedal in the second half, but the way we played in the first half no domestic team would have lived with us."
Bristol boss Mark Sampson:
"We could have been dead and buried by half-time.
"It would have been easy to throw in the towel, roll over and come away with a hammering, but we showed great character and gave it a real go in the second half.
"We weren't expected to be competitive in the Super League, but we've shown we can do that also we can get to a FA Cup final and qualify for Europe.
"So as much as we're disappointed with this result, it's been a great experience for the girls and it will be a positive step in the long term."

Arkadiusz Jozwik, 40, was attacked near a row of takeaway shops in Harlow, Essex, on 27 August 2016. He died in hospital two days later.
A 16-year-old boy - who was 15 at the time and cannot be named for legal reasons - denies manslaughter.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard he had used "the whole force of his body" to hit Mr Jozwik. The trial continues.
Rosina Cottage QC, prosecuting, said: "The prosecution does not say that (the youth) thought for a moment that what he did would result in the death of a man.
"However, we say he moved deliberately around the back of Mr Jozwik to take him by surprise and to hit him from behind.
"From what looks to be like a 'superman punch' that he threw, he must have intended to send the man to the ground."
The jury was told that Mr Jozwik - who was also known as Arek - had been drinking vodka with his friend and they were both "speaking loudly and appeared to be drunk and smelt of alcohol".
She said a third friend drank beer and appeared to be sober.
Ms Cottage said the men sat on a bench to eat pizza near a group of teenagers on bikes at about 23:30.
She said two boys cycled close to the men, which "seemed to spark a disagreement" between the two groups.
CCTV footage of the attack was shown to jurors and some of Mr Jozwik's family left the court room as it was shown.
The trial continues.
The company owns the News Letter, the Derry Journal and the Morton Newspapers chain.
The strike ballot was in response to cutting 13 editorial positions.
It does not mean a strike is inevitable but one can now be called at a week's notice.
Johnston is an Edinburgh-based firm which owns more than 200 papers across the UK.
The trade publication Press Gazette estimates that Johnston has shed around half its journalists in five years.
The company has been struggling with long-term falls in sales.
However, Nicola Coleman of the NUJ said that while journalists face "yet another attack on their working conditions and struggle to serve their communities and produce quality newspapers, senior executives in Johnston Press are rewarding themselves handsomely".
Ms Coleman, the union's Irish organiser, said the company's annual report revealed a bonus arrangement "for the retention and 'incentivisation' of senior managers (excluding executive directors) of £3.9m".
She added: "This is in stark contrast to how our members are treated, having endured pay freezes for years and who have only recently seen small percentage increases to their salaries, while restructure after restructure has reduced editorial staffing levels by more than half and wiped out almost all promotional opportunities."
Virginia loved music. She had an infectious laughter. She loved her family.
Even with Alzheimer's, parts of her had not been lost. Her family still cannot believe she is gone.
"She was murdered. That's how we see it. Decisions were made by people who had no regard for my sister and any of the other families, in the end they killed them," says Christine Nxumalo.
Her sister, 50-year-old Virginia Machpelah was one of the 94 psychiatric patients who died following a move from facilities run by Life Esidimeni, a private healthcare company last year to various care homes in Gauteng province, around Johannesburg.
Many were transferred without the knowledge of their families.
About 1,900 patients were transferred to these centres after the Gauteng Health Department cancelled its contract with the private institution in 2015 to save costs.
Christine Nxumalo:
"She looked so thin - she wasn't the Virginia I knew. She was in good spirits, she didn't want us to leave - we spent hours laughing. She could even remember who we were."
The mass transfers were made between March and June last year, scores of deaths followed but they were not reported, not even to the families, according to an independent report.
The department was paying for the patients' upkeep - from medication to specialised therapies - because the families couldn't afford them.
And the families were happy.
So what went wrong?
It emerged that the department, against all advice and two court cases to stop their plans, moved the chronic patients into community facilities, which didn't have the staff, facilities and proper equipment to care for them.
The report says that of the deceased, 77 died in 27 facilities which did not even have valid operating licences. Some of these centres were a little more than a house with a few hospital beds, if that.
This tragedy has shocked many in South Africa.
This is the first such case reported in the country - the challenge now for all those involved would be how to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
Some have suggested better monitoring of care homes to make sure they are inspected before patients are sent there. They argue this could have saved many lives in this case.
While the national Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has been praised for calling for the investigations, he says he is "very angry and heartbroken" over the deaths, especially because they could have been avoided.
A damning report titled No gun: 94 silent deaths and still counting by Health Ombudsman Malegapuru Makgoba revealed that many of the patients had died from dehydration, starvation and diarrhoea.
Uncontrolled seizures and pneumonia were also listed in the report, suggesting that the patients were refused medication. Only one death was directly attributed to mental illness.
The provincial health department had been adamant that the move was in line with the country's 2002 Mental Health Act to "de-institutionalise" the patients - move them from psychiatric facilities to home-based centres.
Source: No gun : 94 silent deaths and still counting
The department also said that the move would save money, but this claim has been dismissed by the ombudsman's report - and so it remains unclear why the former provincial health minister Qedani Mahlangu approved the transfer.
Ms Mahlangu resigned just hours before the report into her department's handling of the matter was made public and has not spoken since.
But for Virginia's family, no explanation will ever suffice.
Ms Nxumalo says her sister appeared to have lost weight when she viewed her body in August, lying lifeless on a mortuary table.
The thought that she may have suffered before her death is too gruesome to bear.
"She looked so thin - she wasn't the Virginia I knew. When we last saw her before she was moved, she looked good," says Ms Nxumalo, tears streaming down her face.
"She was in good spirits, she didn't want us to leave - we spent hours laughing. She could even remember who we were."
The next news she heard of her sister was in a phone call in August telling her she had died - she wasn't only shocked to learn of her death but that she had been transferred without the family being told where she was.
"The woman we're talking about was a fighter," her sister tells me. "She was the proud mother of a 20-year-old daughter who thought the world of her.
"She took great care of herself, didn't drink or smoke because she believed 'your body is the temple of God'."
But in the end, Virginia was stripped of all dignity - her body was one of a number dumped at an overcrowded morgue, unclaimed for weeks after her death because she had been taken there, once more without the family's prior knowledge or consent.
She died at Precious Angels, a centre in Attridgeville which recorded one of the highest deaths in one place in this unfolding scandal. It's in a township in the capital Pretoria.
According to records, it was only registered in June last year as patients were being moved. It has since been shut although it's not clear when.
The two-floor brick house, which looks like any other suburban home on that street, is now home to some tenants.
"When we moved in late last year, some rooms hadn't been used for months, there were no patients but there were hospital beds outside," one tenant told me.
Christine Nxumalo:
"Do you know how many lives could have been saved had the government listened? They cannot get away with this."
Three other tenants are peering through the window at this point - they tell me they've been overwhelmed by families calling at the house, in search of answers.
In a terse phone call, the woman registered as the director of Precious Angels, Ethel Ncube, refused to comment on the matter, saying she was co-operating with the investigators.
A total of 18 people died at her facility.
When the story first made headlines, in September last year, the provincial health department put the death toll at 36 but this report suggests the deaths were already at 77 - a fact concealed by authorities.
The families' relatives say their loved ones were treated as "less than human" by people working for a government voted in to end inequality and discrimination - people who themselves knew oppression under white minority rule.
Now new regional health minister Gwen Ramokgopa and a task team have been appointed to clean up the mess and help restore the public's faith in the care of South Africa's mentally ill patients.
They need to locate where all the patients are, inspect the conditions they are living in, investigate how many deaths remain unreported and work out how many patients are still alive.
Opposition parties are calling for criminal charges to be laid against Ms Mahlangu and her officials over the deaths.
In the past, mental illness has been neglected in South Africa, resulting in inadequate budget and resource allocations.
But since 1994, the country's mental health laws have been brought into line with WHO standards but how the policy is carried out on the ground often falls short due to corruption, especially in public facilities, according to experts.
"We haven't learnt from previous mistakes in that the money did not go to the correct places, and did not provide adequate care for the most vulnerable in society," Daily Vox quotes University of Cape Town's head of Public and Community Mental Health, Professor Crick Lund as saying.
The families will meet with their legal representatives to decide how they can ensure the responsible are held to account and whether or how they want to proceed on issues of compensation.
Ms Nxumalo and other families are working with advocacy group Section 27 to bring those responsible to book.
"They were showed no mercy. They had no voice, no matter how hard we tried we failed," she tells me.
"Do you know how many lives could have been saved had the government listened? They cannot get away with this."
A private funeral service was held in Gorleston, Norfolk, on Wednesday for the 24-year-old, whose real name was Chris Hardman.
Friends and family then gathered at Claremont Pier in the singer's hometown of Lowestoft to release the balloons - chosen to match his favourite colour.
His friend George Goddard, 23, said it was "what Chris would have wanted".
Hardman, who rose to fame in Channel 4's Rock School, was found dead last month at a house in Lowestoft.
Mr Goddard, who met Hardman in 2006 at Kirkley High School, said the short funeral service for close friends and family had contained speeches but no hymns.
"If we'd had hymns he would have laughed and said 'why are you dragging it out?'" Mr Goddard said. "The celebration of life afterwards would have been more his thing."
After the funeral, a larger group gathered at Lowestoft's Zoo bar to toast Hardman with a round of his favourite drink, whisky and Coke.
The party, which included McBusted's James Bourne, then released balloons into the mist off the pier.
"It was a sad day for everyone," Mr Goddard said. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house."
"Chris' priority was always family and friends, so for him to know people were talking and getting to know each other, that would have been more important to him," Mr Goddard said.
He said he would remember his friend, who had been battling with depression, from his time as Lil' Chris.
"Every time I think of Chris now I think of a 16-year-old cheeky little kid running around causing mayhem, making 20,000 Girl Guides scream at Wembley," he said.
"They're the memories he'd want us to remember - that was the favourite part of his life, when he was happiest."
Kris McDowell, 18, from Coronation Street in Cefn Mawr, died on 31 May last year.
The adjournment will allow the family's solicitor to appoint an expert witness to report on the condition of the railing Mr McDowell was holding on to.
A new date has not yet been set.
North Wales East and Central coroner John Gittins also said he would give consideration to summoning a jury for the hearing.
The inquest was first opened in June. A post-mortem examination had given chest trauma as the provisional cause of Mr McDowell's death.
He was found at the base of the 120ft (36m) tall aqueduct.
Nichola Davis, 24, of Newport, gave birth to Nevaeh on what was technically her sixth birthday on Monday.
Nevaeh weighed 9lb 1oz when she was born at 02:17 GMT at the city's Royal Gwent Hospital.
Ms Davis said: "It doesn't feel real - everyone says it is incredible. My midwife kept saying 'she'll come on your birthday'."
Midwife Jodie Harper said: "You never see it in this business. This is the first one I've ever heard of."

The 79-year-old protested his innocence of corruption allegations as he awaits the outcome of an appeal against an eight-year ban from the sport.
"I am sure there is justice in this world and that I have committed nothing which goes to criminal law," he said.
Football's governing body will elect a successor to the Swiss on 26 February.
Blatter won a fifth Fifa presidential election in May but was banned for eight years for a "disloyal payment" of £1.3m to suspended Uefa president Michel Platini.
He is also under investigation for alleged criminal mismanagement, but has always denied any wrongdoing.
Speaking to The Times, Blatter claimed that former French president Nicolas Sarkozy asked Platini not to vote for the United States to host the 2022 World Cup, which was eventually awarded to Qatar. Former France midfielder Platini has previously denied this.
Blatter said: "You cannot buy a World Cup, it will go at the end where the higher political influences are.
"For 2022, Platini at least had the courtesy to phone me and say, 'now we have had a meeting with the head of state and if the head of state is asking me to support France for different reasons then I will'. He said 'my vote will not be for the Americans'.
"I knew then there would be a problem. We tried but it was too late."
Blatter returned to Fifa headquarters this week as his appeal was heard, with Fifa's ethics committee hoping to increase his punishment to a lifetime ban.
He said: "I have killed nobody, I have not robbed a bank, I have not taken any money from anywhere and I was even treating well all my ex-girlfriends.
"It's true. They defend me. One I was married to only for a few months and she is really defending me."
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne are the five candidates to replace Blatter as Fifa president.

The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) says these children should not be put into institutions at an early age.
Such a move costs the taxpayer dear and gives youngsters low ambitions for improving their lives, the CDC says.
However, the review, commissioned by the Department of Health, acknowledged ministers had not ignored this group.
It praised government initiatives brought in after the abuse of people with learning disabilities was uncovered at Winterbourne View private hospital near Bristol.
However, the CDC concluded there was no clear vision for the treatment of children with complex needs involving challenging behaviour, mental health problems, learning disabilities and autism.
It said a lack of accountability across a fragmented care system was depriving these children of their right to an education and community and family life.
"It was like my world fell apart. Eddie was young, all alone and being locked in a room," says mother-of-four Adele Hanlon.
"The feeling that I had failed him was overwhelming, and knowing I could not be there to comfort him was devastating."
Her son, Eddie, 17, has been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyspraxia and is being detained under the Mental Health Act.
He is currently being treated in a specialist hospital unit in Newcastle - 300 miles away from his home in Bristol - as this was the nearest suitable institution with a spare place.
"We are only able to visit monthly, and due to the distance we fly to the hospital," says Adele.
"He looks forward to a visit, but towards the end of his visit he becomes upset.
"When we leave he becomes distressed and needs a lot of additional support."
The CDC review criticised regional discrepancies in care provision for children.
"The current geographical spread of in-patient provision does not represent the population needs both in geography and in capacity," it said.
"There is no suitable placement available for young people living in London and the South East or throughout the South West."
The report also noted that affected children were more likely to come from poorer families and live in challenging circumstances.
CDC director Dame Christine Lenehan said: "When I left practice in 1997, I could walk round my authority looking at small children and knowing that the chances of them going out of the authority area - often to a placement a considerable distance away, aged 11, 12 or 13 - was high.
"Their diagnosis at age two or before was the indicator to the challenges they would face, and yet they followed a path which institutionalised them during their teenage years and condemned them to a life hidden from society, away from their families, at huge financial cost to the taxpayer and with very poor outcomes."
Dame Lenehan said it was often an "act of last resort" that saw this group of disabled children sent away from their home communities into long-term placements.
"Hidden and separated from the rest of society, these children become special cases, for whom the aspirations we have for other children and young people don't apply," she said.
"We urgently need a shift in thinking."
Messi, 24, equalled the record with a volley off a post in the 17th minute and then broke it with a lob in the 68th minute.
The Argentine's third - and 234th goal - came four minutes from time.

Cesar Rodriguez, who played for Barcelona in the 1940s and 1950s, held the previous record.
He was thought to have scored 235 goals for the club, but research by Barcelona's Centre of Documentation and Studies and La Vanguardia newspaper showed he had scored three goals fewer.
Messi, the World Player of the Year who is in his eighth season with Barca, has now scored 54 goals in all competitions this season.
He is also now the top-scorer in La Liga this season with 34 goals from 27 games, two ahead of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. Athletico Madrid's Falcao is third with 17 goals.
"We have to congratulate Messi, he has scored so many goals and is only 24, he does not just score ordinary goals but great goals and we hope he gets lots more for us, we can compare him perhaps the Michael Jordan [American basketball legend] of football," said Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
"There are no players capable of dominating a sport with such superiority. In every sport there has existed only one player that can be considered as somebody unique. And this is the case. Yes, Messi can be compared to Michael Jordan."
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdez said of his team-mate: "Messi is defining an era. He is the best."
He set the new record in Barcelona's win over Granada which moves the Catalan side to within five points of league leaders Real Madrid, who they face at the Nou Camp on 22 April.

Ernest Macia, of public Radio Catalunya, said it was a "historic evening" in Barcelona.
"Messi is exceptional, there will not be another player like him," said Macia.
"In Barcelona, people are used to successes of the team and of Messi but tonight, with the sight of history, many people will remember the night.
"I've heard many cars now on the streets celebrating that Messi has done it."
Rodriguez played mainly for Barcelona, winning five La Liga championships in 13 years with them.
He was the league's highest scorer in 1948-49 (28 in 24 games) and topped Barca's goal charts for seven consecutive seasons.
The forward, who also coached Barcelona in 1963-64, was famous for his ability to score goals from corners.
He scored six goals in 12 appearances for the Spanish national side between 1945 and 1952.
Club legend Paulino Alcantara, who played for Barcelona in two spells between 1912 and 1927, scored 369 goals in 357 games. However, he played before the formation of La Liga and only 137 of his goals were scored in official matches.

Cannabis is an illegal drug in Israel but this facility is allowed to operate under a government licence.
The company that runs it, Tikun Olam, uses organic methods to grow different kinds of cannabis for medical use.
Now, it has developed a new strain that could change the image of the drug.
It does not give users the characteristic high or get them "stoned".
Careful cross-breeding has virtually removed the chemical in cannabis known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which has psychoactive properties.
Instead the new plant has a high concentration of another of the main constituents called cannabidiol (CBD), a powerful anti-inflammatory.
"Cannabidiol does not bind to the brain, to the brain cells, therefore after taking it you don't have any side effects that you don't want," says Ruth Gallily, an immunology professor at Hebrew University who has researched CBD for 15 years.
"(These include) not being high, not being confused. You can drive, you can work, you can do everyday things. It's very non-toxic."
Tikun Olam's research and development manager, Zach Klein, lists the categories of patients who can benefit from the new product.
"The new strains are really good for three populations - people who work, old people - because they are sensitive to THC - and also children, as we want to touch those receptors in their brains as little as possible," he says.
David Sabach, 12, suffers from cancer but has just been out playing with friends when I visit his family's apartment in central Israel.
He shows me pictures of how he looked two years ago. He had lost his hair from chemotherapy treatment and was half his current weight.
A doctor recently prescribed David the CBD-enriched cannabis. It is delivered in the form of chocolate, cookies or cakes.
"I used to take morphine for pain and it would help for just a couple of minutes," he tells me.
"When I take the cannabis it helps me all day. I feel much better. I can finally walk without crying from the pain in my legs."
Medical marijuana has been used in Israel since the 1990s.
More than 10,000 Israelis take it to treat a range of illnesses from cancer, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis to Tourette's syndrome.
Many believe it is the combination of THC and CBD in regular cannabis that is most beneficial. THC has its own medicinal effects.
"It shouldn't be changed. This is nature's medicine and it's been used for thousands of years," says a 52-year-old cancer patient from Tel Aviv who does not want to be identified.
He had a stomach tumour removed five months ago and smokes cannabis while undergoing chemotherapy.
"Mostly it helps with pain reduction. The second thing is the desire to eat. The body without fuel cannot fight and one of the wonderful things about marijuana is that it causes "munchies", and "munchies" for people during chemotherapy is a blessing."
The exact properties of the dozens of cannabinoids contained in cannabis and their interactions are still being studied.
International pharmaceutical companies are experimenting with the ratio, and developing synthetic versions, to use as medicines.
However, growers say traditional horticultural techniques also have potential to create tailor-made cannabis for different conditions.
The new "high-free" Israeli version could also challenge the ban on medical uses of cannabis currently enforced in many countries. | Pope Francis has urged young Mexicans to reject a life of crime and "dare to dream" as he visited Michoacan - a state hit hard by drug violence.

A national vigil is to be held on 30 June at Westminster Abbey, London, with overnight events being held in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Co Down.
There will also be a commemorative service the following day at Manchester Cathedral.
More than 600,000 British and French troops died during the WW1 battle.
Announcing the commemorations, Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said: "We must never forget the scale of what happened at the Somme.
"More died on the first day of battle than any other day of the First World War. Almost every family in the country was touched by the devastating losses.
"I hope people of all generations up and down the country will have the chance to attend an event and honour the bravery of those who sacrificed so much."
The overnight vigils on 30 June will take place at:
There will also be a programme of overnight events at the Imperial War Museum in London that night.
The commemorative service will be held on 1 July at Manchester Cathedral, followed by a procession through the city to Heaton Park.
And further events will take place at Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries and memorials.
The government had already announced plans for an event on 1 July at Thiepval in northern France, where a memorial holds the names of 72,000 fallen soldiers who have no known graves.
Around 10,000 people are expected to attend next year's event at the memorial, with 8,000 selected by ballot.
The Battle of the Somme began on 1 July 1916 and did not end until 18 November that year.
The aim of the offensive was to achieve a clear victory for the British and French, but the campaign turned into a stalemate, with soldiers struggling to gain any ground after heavy rains in October.
The Germanwings Airbus A320 crashed in France on Tuesday, leaving no survivors.
The Foreign Office said Paul Bramley, 28, from Hull, and Martyn Matthews, 50, from Wolverhampton, died in the crash.
It said seven-month-old Julian Pracz-Bandres and his Spanish-born mother Marina Bandres Lopez-Belio, from Manchester, also lost their lives.
Mr Hammond said: "We cannot rule out the possibility" that other British people were involved in the crash.
Families of those from the UK known to have been killed have been contacted, the foreign secretary said.
In a statement released by the Foreign Office, Mr Bramley's mother Carol, who lives in Majorca, said: "Paul was a kind, caring and loving son. He was the best son, he was my world."
His father Philip Bramley, also from Hull, said they were both deeply shocked.
Mr Bramley had just finished his first year at the César Ritz College in Lucerne, Switzerland, where he was studying hospitality and hotel management.
Due to start an internship on 1 April, he had been flying back from a few days' holiday with friends in Barcelona and was due to stop in Duesseldorf on his way to meet his family in the UK.
Mr Matthews, a senior quality manager thought to be travelling to Germany for a meeting, was married with a son, and daughter.
His family said in a statement: "We are devastated at the news of this tragic incident and request that we are allowed to deal with this terrible news without intrusion at this difficult time."
Margaret Goodyear, a neighbour and former colleague of Mr Matthews, said he was a "lovely, lovely man".
Yesterday Pawel Pracz, whose wife Marina Bandres Lopez-Belio, 37, and son Julian died in the crash, said he was "devastated" at the loss.
He explained that his wife had bought last minute tickets to visit her family in Spain for her uncle's funeral.
Originally from Jaca in the Spanish Pyrenees, Ms Bandres met her Polish husband at the Futureworks School of Media in Manchester and went on to become an editor and colourist in post-production for film and video.
The couple had graduated together in 2009 and had lived together in the city for seven years.
Mr Pracz said: "I'm with my closest family in Manchester, and in close contact with our family in Spain at this very difficult time. "
Richard Hellawell, Ms Bandres' former tutor at Futureworks School of Media, Manchester, described her as a "model student" who was "exceptionally talented and hard-working."
He said: "One of the nice bright lights of the world has gone out."
Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband have offered their condolences to the families of those affected by the air crash.
Germanwings and Lufthansa staff stood in silence in Cologne on Wednesday morning to honour the dead.
Mr Cameron described the crash as "heartbreaking".
He told the Commons: "I know the whole House will wish to join me in offering our deepest condolences to the family and friends of all those killed in the yesterday's airbus crash in France.
"It is heartbreaking to hear about the schoolchildren, the babies, the families whose lives have been brought to an end."
Germanwings chief Thomas Winkelmann said 72 of the 144 passengers were German citizens and 35 were Spanish, the remainder included citizens of the UK, Australia and Belgium, among others.
The German victims included 16 pupils returning from an exchange trip.
French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy visited the crash scene on Wednesday.
Mr Rajoy declared three days of national mourning in Spain.
Bereaved relatives are expected to visit the scene. The mayor of Seyne-les-Alpes, the town nearest the crash site, said local families were offering to host them.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Mr Winkelmann said the airline would provide financial support and transport for any relatives wanting to visit the scene from overseas.
A day of mourning is being held at the Joseph-Koenig-Gymnasium school in Haltern-am-See, north-west Germany, where the pupils were from.

The cockpit voice recorder "black box" is pretty battered but the devices are bomb-proof, literally, so investigators should still be able to listen to what happened on board.
The large, orange cylindrical part in the middle holds the memory boards that record the pilots' voices, and that looks intact to me.
The critical question now is, were the pilots speaking during those lost eight minutes when the aircraft dropped from 38,000ft to the ground?
If they're quiet, investigators will know they were unconscious, and that suggests a major decompression took place on board.
That's when a hole in the fuselage lets all the air out. It's not necessarily fatal, if the pilots can get their oxygen masks on in time, something they train for, but if they were knocked out, it would explain the lack of a mayday call or any obvious attempt to steer the stricken aircraft to the nearest runway.
Live crash updates
Who were the victims?
What we know
The plane's "black box" cockpit voice recorder is believed to be damaged but has been sent to Paris where officials still hope to retrieve data from it.
Remi Jouty, from the French investigating organisation BEA, said initial examinations had found usable sounds and voices, but that it was too soon to draw any conclusions.
He said they hoped to have the first "rough ideas" within a few days, but a fuller understanding could take weeks or even months.
Investigators are still searching for the second "black box" - the flight data recorder.
Investigators said the plane hit the ground in the French Alps at great velocity, suggesting no explosion in flight.
Siddle joined Notts on a two-year deal ahead of last season, but did not play last summer because of a back injury.
And the 32-year-old has now withdrawn from playing in the 2017 county season.
Pattinson, 26, has taken 70 wickets in 17 Test matches for Australia, with his last appearance coming against New Zealand in February 2016.
He took his first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket since December 2015 in Victoria's Sheffield Shield win over Western Australia on Saturday, a result which secured the Bushrangers a place in the final.
"I feel for Peter in particular because he's had absolutely no luck in recent years when it comes to injuries," Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell said.
"We certainly didn't imagine, when we signed him on a two-year contract for 2016 and 2017, that he wouldn't play a single game for us during that time."
Nottinghamshire were relegated from Division One of the County Championship last season, having won just one of their 16 games.
The hosts collapsed after lunch on the fourth day and were bundled out for 103 in just 37 overs, with Mitchell Johnson taking 3-27.
None of England's recognised batsmen made more than 17 runs as Stuart Broad top-scored with 25.
Australia had earlier reached 254-2 declared in their second innings, leaving England to bat 155 overs to save the game.
That they fell so woefully short raises serious questions about the calibre and make-up of a team that only a week ago stunned Australia by winning the first Test in Cardiff by 169 runs.
And after England's top order once again crumbled, the selectors will surely ponder changes before the series resumes at Edgbaston on 29 July.
For Australia, such a swift and categorical riposte to the defeat in south Wales will bolster their belief that they can pull off their first Ashes win in England since 2001.
The relative calm with which Alastair Cook and Adam Lyth negotiated three overs before lunch offered no indication of the pandemonium that was to follow the interval.
Lyth, Cook and Gary Ballance were all caught behind, the captain to a particularly frivolous swing away from his body.
Ian Bell led a charmed life as he ground out 50 balls for 11 runs before poking forward at Nathan Lyon and popping a catch to short leg.
The real nadir arrived when the in-form Ben Stokes threw his wicket away in diabolical circumstances.
Running through for a comfortable single, he had made up his ground by the time Johnson's throw shattered the stumps.
Crucially, however, Stokes neglected to slide his bat into the crease and was in mid-air when the ball hit, meaning he had to go.
The tea interval ostensibly gave England a chance to gather their thoughts and steel themselves for a plucky fight to the close.
In theory, but not in practice.
In the space of five balls from Johnson, five wickets had become seven as Jos Buttler nicked behind before Moeen Ali flinched at a bouncer and looped a catch off the splice to short leg.
Broad briefly flung the bat to collect five boundaries but when he chipped Lyon to cover, England were 101-8.
Only two further runs were added before Josh Hazlewood bowled Joe Root and James Anderson in successive overs to send Australia into raptures.
England's frenzied showing on a placid pitch contrasted with the serenity of Australia's performance in the morning session as they added 146 runs to set England a notional 509 to win.
David Warner made 83 and Steve Smith 58 after Chris Rogers had been forced to retire on 49.
The left-handed opener, 37, suffered a sudden dizzy spell and was escorted to the dressing room, where he rested for the remainder of the match.
Rogers missed two Tests in West Indies in June and was struck on the head by Anderson on the morning of the second day.
England captain Alastair Cook: "When you get bowled out for 100, it isn't good enough. Australia put us under pressure and we weren't able to deal with it.
"We came up short this week. We have to take this on the chin. Now it's about the character we need to show to bounce back."
Australia captain Michael Clarke: "I couldn't have asked for a better performance.
"We didn't play our best at Cardiff, but now we can look in the mirror and say we played some good cricket here."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "Australia couldn't have dominated any more from the moment they won the toss."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "Brutal...The changes have worked for Australia...They have looked an energised, ruthless unit."
Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott: "Some of the batting was pretty poor and the attitude to saving the game was poor. We helped Australia blow us away.
"If it was a boxing match we would have got knocked out in the first round. We got knocked down and we stayed down. We never made a fight of it."
Ex-England batsman Ed Smith: "I can scarcely remember an innings where a wicket looked less likely to fall than Australia's innings. I can scarcely remember an innings where wickets looked more likely to fall than this England innings."
Former Australia seamer Glenn McGrath: "Mitchell Johnson looked lethal and England just capitulated. They'll take a lot of scars into the next game."
Actor, writer and presenter Stephen Fry: "The worst thing about England's batting today is that it allows teachery people to use words like "disgrace" and "shameful".
They were issued with a second winding-up petition by HM Revenue & Customs in October and they did not receive proposed investment.
London Welsh now hope to reform as a semi-professional side in 2017, playing at their current Old Deer Park ground.
The club can continue to play during the liquidation process, but they will be deducted 20 points.
They are due to face Doncaster in the British and Irish Cup on Saturday, but it is not yet known if the fixture will go ahead.
A Rugby Football Union spokesperson said: "The RFU are working with the club to find a way to fulfil their fixtures this season."
London Welsh will have to put together a sustainable business plan to the RFU - and raise a bond of £300,000 - in order to exist as a phoenix company.
If this is approved by the RFU then they will be able to keep their place in the Championship, or National League 1 if they are relegated.
If the plan isn't approved and they can't raise the bond, then they will drop out of the leagues altogether.
The club had a winding-up petition dismissed in September after agreeing a takeover with a United States-based investment group, but the deal was never completed.
Founded in 1885, the club still holds the record for the most players selected in a British and Irish Lions squad, when seven were picked for the 1971 tour to New Zealand.
The Exiles were in the Premiership as recently as the 2014-15 season, when they were based at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford - but were relegated after losing all 22 matches.
"Due to a playing budget of £1.7m and gates at games numbering as low 400, the club's current business model is totally unsustainable," chairman Gareth Hawkins said.
"Having to break the news to 40 staff members yesterday was extremely difficult.
"In the New Year, it is the hope and intention of the board that London Welsh will be able to return to playing at Old Deer Park.
"However, it will first be necessary to change the club's business model to a semi-professional set-up and form a new company, and then raise £300,000 so that the club can regain a position within the Championship."
Chris Jones, BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter
This is a sad day for one of Britain's oldest and most famous rugby clubs, but a salutary lesson of the harsh financial realities of professional rugby.
In hindsight, London Welsh should never have chased the Premiership dream without the backing, management or the infrastructure to be sustainable.
Premiership clubs are able to lean heavily on central revenues - especially from television - but this is not the case in the Championship, and unless clubs in the second tier have a wealthy backer they simply cannot support a professional set-up.

The 30-year-old has won 26 Tour stages and the 2011 road race world title but is yet to claim an Olympic medal.
Competing on the track will be the Manxman's best chance of winning one in Rio this summer, as the road race route is not suited for pure sprinters.
"Cav won't do three weeks of the Tour," British Cycling's technical director Shane Sutton said.
"If he wants to medal, he's aware that he wouldn't be going to Paris."
This summer's race begins on 2 July with a flat stage that Team Dimension Data rider Cavendish will be targeting for victory.
The race ends in the French capital on 24 July.
Cavendish won his first four Tour stages in 2008 before leaving early to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing, where he finished ninth in the madison and was the only member of Great Britain's squad not to win a medal.
He also competed in the Olympic road race on the opening day of London 2012 but finished 29th, 40 seconds behind winner Alexander Vinokourov.
The weapons, which included AK-47 rifles, were used in violent crimes in the capital, Maputo, police alleged.
Mr Dhlakama's Renamo party condemned the raids as an "invasion".
Renamo fighters and government forces have been involved in clashes since disputed elections in 2014, raising fears that a civil war could resume.
The 17-year conflict ended in 1992 with a peace deal which led to the former rebel group turning into an opposition party.
Mr Dhlakama was not at his Maputo home during the police raid, reports the BBC's Jose Tembe from the city.
He is based in the remote Gorongosa mountains in central Mozambique, which was his headquarters when he was a rebel leader.
Police commander Julio Jane said military uniforms and communication equipment had also been seized during the raids.
"At Mr Dhlakama's house, we found 38 AK-47 rifles and seven pistols," he said.
For its part, Renamo accused police of "stealing" about $4,000 (£2,800) from its properties during the operation.
Mr Dhlakama would respond "politically" to the raids, it added.
Renamo has carried out a spate of attacks on civilians and government targets since the disputed election, as it insists on the right to govern six of Mozambique's 10 provinces.
The victim, 26, was kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to a garage, where he was bound, gagged and beaten.
Five of the 10-man gang received life sentences for charges including kidnapping, false imprisonment, blackmail and GBH at Warwick Crown Court.
Police said the victim's family had been "distraught".
West Midlands Police said the man, from Coventry, was abducted in Milverton Road, Woodend, in September and taken to a lock-up garage. He was left in a van, bound and gagged without food or water, and beaten with a metal bar.
The gang demanded a £20,000 ransom from his family but, when they felt his relatives had not responded quickly enough, the victim's little finger was cut off and left under a brick on a garden wall.
After the family paid the ransom, the victim was thrown out of the back of the van in McDonnell Drive, Coventry.
The money was recovered after police raided a house in Dovedale Avenue, Longford.
Three of the defendants - Ralph McLeod, Lewis Poyser and Yusuf Akbar - were found guilty of false imprisonment, blackmail and grievous bodily harm.
Seven other men had pleaded guilty to charges including kidnapping, blackmail, false imprisonment, and grievous bodily harm.
Det Ch Insp Simon Wallis said: "The family were understandably distraught at the thought of what else could happen to their loved one."
Four of the defendants, Anthony McLeod, Kofi Poyser, Lewis Poyser and Lamar Grant, were also sentenced for their part in an assault on a man outside a Coventry nightclub in June.
A French inquiry has found that Poly Implant Prostheses - or PIPs - are filled with an unapproved gel and are missing protective barriers.
About 50,000 British women may have these implants.
The body for plastic surgeons warned against alarm, but said those with PIPs needed a check-up within six months.
If an ultrasound establishes that the implant is weakened or ruptured, then both should be removed, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) advised.
"This is certainly an unusual situation but so far there is no serious cause for alarm - whilst further tests are conducted into the substance, we recommend that women who've undergone breast augmentation contact their surgeons to find out what type of implant was used," said its president Nigel Mercer
"If it's PIP they should have an ultrasound in the next six months to establish whether there is any weakening or rupture. At present removal is recommended in these cases, but if there is one ruptured implant, the contralateral one should be taken out as well, as a preventative measure."
In March, The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said no more PIPs should be implanted and that any remaining should be returned to the manufacturer.
The French company which produced PIPs has gone into administration. All the devices were recalled in France earlier this year.
The inquiry by the French association of plastic surgeons reported that the company had from 2005 dispensed with the protective barrier and was also using a gel with a composition different from that approved.
To determine how the altered version might react with the human body, BAAPs says French colleagues contacted the gel manufacturers for any studies. There were none, as they had understood the substance to be intended for use in mattresses.
Nigel Mercer added that surgeons who had fitted PIPs should not be held accountable for doing so.
"There was no way of knowing the gel was untested or that the protective envelope, which adds strength and restricts the gel from travelling into the body, had been dispensed with."
PIPs were among the cheaper brands of breast implants available. The French started investigating after surgeons reported they were rupturing more quickly than other brands.
It follows concerns some Irish passport holders, refused or no longer entitled to a work visa, used the Irish version of their name to apply again.
Australian's Department of Immigration and Border Protection met Irish government officials about the issue.
The Irish government said it was not appropriate to disclose what was discussed.
In a statement to the Irish Independent newspaper, the Australian department said it was "aware of and is investigating a migration fraud involving Irish applicants using new passport features to access Australian visas".
It added: "Accurately identifying non-citizens underpins the integrity of Australia's migration, visa and citizenship programmes and is the basis for all security and character checks completed before making a decision about whether to grant a visa to come to Australia."
A spokesperson for the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs said: "The Passport Service assesses the credibility of each application individually when requested to change a name on a passport.
"The decision must be approved by the head of the Passport Office.
"This policy seeks to protect the integrity and security of our passports against passport or identity fraud, while at the same time balancing the wishes of those genuine citizens, who wish to use the Irish language more frequently in their daily lives."
Almost 90,000 people have emigrated from the Republic of Ireland to Australia since the start of the global economic downturn in 2008, according to Ireland's Central Statistics Office.
The number appeared to peak in 2012, when an estimated 18,200 emigrated to the other side of the world. By contrast, the figure dropped to 10,000 last year.
The Briton was broken three times in losing the first set in 34 minutes.
But although he battled back to level the match, Austrian world number nine Thiem won in two hours and 13 minutes to set up a final against Rafael Nadal.
Elsewhere, British number four Aljaz Bedene beat Serb Laslo Djere 6-2 6-4 to reach the Hungarian Open final.
Having lost both previous meetings with Murray on hard courts, Thiem found the Spanish clay much more to his liking as he secured his first victory against a world number one.
Murray's three-set win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Friday took a minute less than three hours and he made a sluggish start in the face of Thiem's array of winners.
However, the Scot responded in determined fashion, twice staving off break points to take the second set in 48 minutes.
However, in a fluctuating deciding set, the three-time Grand Slam winner hesitated over a smash and instead sent a wild forehand way beyond the baseline, which took Thiem to match point.
The 23-year-old's impressive victory was duly completed when the Scotsman's lob drifted wide.
"In that last game, I missed a couple shots I shouldn't have," said Murray.
"It was quite windy out there and difficult to get into a rhythm but I got three matches in three days against different types of player, which will be good for me."
There was better news for Bedene, who broke twice in the opening three games of his match against world number 184 Djere.
Having wrapped up the set in 34 minutes, he then broke for a 4-3 lead in the second and completed victory in an hour and 19 minutes.
The Slovenia-born 27-year-old, world ranked 68, captured back-to-back titles on the second-tier ATP Challenger Tour earlier this month and has now won 23 of his last 24 matches.
Bedene was ranked outside the top 100 at the beginning of March but, should he win Sunday's final against world number 14 Lucas Pouille, he will likely move into the top 50 and replace Kyle Edmund as the British number two.
In the doubles semi-finals, Britain's Dom Inglot and partner Robin Haase of the Netherlands were beaten in three sets by third seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah of Colombia.
The nine inch (23cm) figure was taken from the Deri Inn, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, but was handed back a week later.
It was left outside with a note saying: "Been on holiday! Didn't want to be alone for Xmas. Come back to be with you lot! Sam X."
Police had launched an investigation after the figure - crafted at Pontypridd's Grogg Shop - disappeared.
The collectable had taken pride of place in the pub that is in the area where Cardiff Blues and 2013 Lions captain, Mr Warburton, grew up.
Duty manager Dan Draper, 24, said: "It was left outside the pub near the front doors in a black bin bag with a note Sellotaped to it.
"We are delighted to have it back."
He held the role of acting taoiseach over the past 10 weeks as talks took place between parties and independents on how to form a new government.
His Fine Gael party won the most seats in the election but fell short of the quota needed to rule without support.
It is now expected that Mr Kenny will lead a minority Fine Gael government.
His re-election followed a deal with a number of independent elected members and the Republic of Ireland's second largest party, Fianna Fáil.
Fianna Fáil has agreed to support Fine Gael's programme for government over "three budget cycles" while some independents are expected to become government ministers.
Accepting his nomination, Mr Kenny told the Dáil (Irish parliament) that its members must now "work together in the best interest of all our people".
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the deal represented "a major turning-point for Irish democracy".
"It marks a decisive shift away from a government with the absolute power to control our parliament."
Mr Kenny has made history by becoming the first Fine Gael taoiseach to be re-elected to the office.
He was re-appointed with 59 votes in favour and 49 votes against.
However, it was the fourth attempt to appoint a new prime minister since the general election of Friday 26 February returned a hung Dáil, in which no party won enough seats to govern independently.
The drawn-out talks process attracted much criticism from many commentators who urged the leaders of the largest parties to come to an agreement in order to avoid another election.
Before he called February's election, Mr Kenny had led a coalition government for the past five years, with the Labour Party as Fine Gael's junior partner.
That coalition came to power shortly after the Republic of Ireland was forced to seek an international bail-out from the European Union and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Despite driving an economic recovery, the Fine Gael/Labour coalition were punished at the polls by an electorate weary of five years of tough austerity policies.
In his acceptance speech on Fridau, Mr Kenny said that while the coalition brought the state back from the edge of an economic cliff, he recognised that not everyone experienced the recovery.
Chanel Lewis, 20, was arraigned on Sunday with murder and sex crimes in Karina Vetrano's August 2016 death.
"He's a demon," Cathy Vetrano said about the suspect, who was arrested on Saturday, six months after the killing.
Investigators say the accused's DNA was found at the crime scene, including under the victim's fingernails.
The victim's father, Philip Vetrano, told reporters: "It's a good day. We can move on now."
Mr Vetrano, who spoke after the court appearance, said that he and his wife plan to attend every hearing.
"The demon must get his justice, and we will see to it," Mrs Vetrano added.
"He should be in hell and burned in hell."
Mr Lewis's father, a retired primary school principal, also attended Sunday's court hearing, telling reporters his son was innocent.
"He has never done anything, nothing in his whole life," said Richard Lewis on the steps of the courthouse.
"He wouldn't have done it," he added.
But prosecutors say the suspect has already confessed.
Assistant district attorney Michael Curtis said: "This defendant admitted to attacking the victim, admitted to beating her, to strangling her and dragging her body in the weeds."
Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old speech therapist, was jogging alone when she was sexually assaulted and strangled in the city's Queens borough.
Her father, a retired New York City firefighter, normally ran with her but had a back injury that day.
Mr Vetrano later found her body in marshland near the Spring Creek Park running trail.
Officials say Mr Lewis had no connection to Ms Vetrano and that after his arrest he gave a "detailed incriminating account of what happened" to investigators.
The suspect, from East New York a neighbourhood in the borough of Brooklyn, has never been arrested.
But he has received several police summons near Howard Beach for suspicious behaviour near a bicycle trail, not far from the crime scene.
Shortly after being told of the arrest on Saturday, an incensed Mr Vetrano was seen leaving his home carrying a wooden cudgel.
The retired New York City firefighter later returned, without giving an explanation to reporters.
The Vetrano family have vowed to push for familial DNA screening, a controversial practice currently banned under New York law.
It allows police to search state and federal DNA databases to see if a suspect has a relative with genetic information on record.
Critics say it is a violation of family privacy.
Root was adjudged caught behind on review after playing a sweep shot against spinner Ravindra Jadeja.
He was seen talking to himself as he departed and aimed a kick at the boundary rope on his way off the field.
"There was frustration there," said Root. "If I get punished then I'm sure it's deserved."
The original decision of not-out was overturned when third umpire Bruce Oxenford decided that a sound picked up by the on-field microphone as the ball passed the bat was an edge to wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel.
"I was adamant I didn't hit it but there was a spike of sound on the replay and there is no point moaning about it," he added.
England, 3-0 down in the five-match series, reached 284-4 in Chennai, with Moeen Ali making 120 not out and Root 88.
"We want to start well on the second day and maybe even bat through the day," Root told BBC Sport. "We want to apply pressure where we can, put India's bowlers off their lengths when we can and be ruthless in our defence.
"If we can get all of those together, maybe we can post 500."
Root has made a half-century in each of the 11 Tests he has played against India, but has only converted one of his last seven fifties against all opponents into a hundred.
"It's frustrating to make scores of 70 and 80, then not kick-on. It does wind you up," said the Yorkshire right-hander.
"If I start thinking too much about it, it might detract from my natural game, but big hundreds are what win Tests so that is what I'll be striving for in the new year."
Vice-captain Root also became the latest member of the England set-up to offer support to skipper Alastair Cook.
Cook has admitted to having "questions" over his future as leader, while also saying he feels that Root is ready to take over.
"He has been a fantastic captain," Root told Sky Sports. "Hopefully he does stay in the job, he's a great leader who can take us forward.
"I just want to play cricket and things will take care of themselves."
Cook, who has been publically backed by coach Trevor Bayliss and all-rounder Ben Stokes, will meet with England director of cricket Andrew Strauss to discuss his future in January.
The James Bond actor will star as Iago in the play staged by the New York Theater Workshop (NYTW), with Selma actor Oyelowo in the title role.
The play will be presented in a 199-seat theatre for a limited run, although dates are yet to be announced.
It will be directed by Sam Gold, who won a Tony this year for Fun Home.
The director told the New York Times he and Craig had been in talks for some time to collaborate on a theatre project, before reaching out to Oyelowo.
'Sublime actors'
He added he was excited to present the play in a small theatre because of the intimacy it would afford, but said it was too early to describe the production in any detail.
"When Sam Gold came to us with the beginning sketches of this production, with these two sublime actors, it seemed the perfect next step for us to take together," NYTW artistic director James Nicola told Deadline.
"I'm eager to see what these original, creative artists come up with in response to Shakespeare's enduring tragedy."
Although the NYTW has hosted a number of productions which went on to Broadway success, including Once and Peter and the Starcatcher, Nicola said a Broadway transfer of Othello was unlikely given the limited availability of the actors.
Craig - who will be seen on the big screen in 007 film Spectre later this month - recently appeared on Broadway in 2013 in a revival of Harold Pinter's Betrayal opposite his wife, Rachel Weisz, and Rafe Spall.
In 2009, he also appeared opposite Hugh Jackman in a Broadway production of A Steady Rain.
Oyelowo has a long list of theatre credits to his name, beginning his stage career in 1999 with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the first black actor to play an English king in a major Shakespeare production in the RSC's 2001 staging of Henry VI.
Among his other credits include Prometheus Bound, The White Devil and The Suppliants.
Manufacturers want to have control of it all, but independent repair shops, fleet operators, insurance companies and anyone else who could benefit from this data, argue that this would be blatantly anti-competitive.
Policy wonks in the European Union are currently wrestling with the issue.
So why should you care?
Because it could mean that your car servicing costs become more expensive and you may have to pay more for other services that rely on such data, from independent repair centres to "pay-as-you-drive" insurance companies.
Modern cars are effectively computers on wheels, full of sensors measuring everything from the wear and tear on your brake pads to your fuel efficiency.
They are capable of communicating wirelessly with manufacturers, traffic management systems, and other vehicles in real time.
So your car's manufacturer probably knows where you've been, how fast you drove, and how soon you're likely to need a service.
And it wants to turn this knowledge in to money.
Say your car's onboard sensors detect that a certain part is about to fail. The manufacturer will have wireless access to that data and could then alert you and even book a service for you automatically.
That sounds convenient and useful, right?
But what if the repair centre is owned by the car manufacturer? You might not be getting the best price for the new parts and servicing. And what if their authorised repair centre is a lot further away than your local garage?
"While the manufacturer is monitoring the car, it has the power to recommend its own spare parts. This is a privileged position and would distort the market," says Neil Pattemore, technical director at FIGIEFA, the European association representing car parts retailers and repair shops.
"We exist to offer consumers choice - it's about freedom of where you want to get your car repaired."
The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) is arguing that car makers should be allowed to send all this "in-vehicle" data to their own cloud platforms and control who has access to it and under what terms.
Allowing "direct third-party access to vehicular electronic systems would jeopardise safety, (cyber)security and vehicle integrity", it argues.
Manufacturers say they're worried about hackers taking control of a car's electronic systems, as has been shown to be possible on several occasions.
They also fear that allowing third parties to peer in to their cars' "brains" would jeopardise "trade secrets, know-how or information covered by intellectual property rights".
But a growing number of industry bodies think this has more to do with manufacturers trying to control a potentially lucrative business.
"In the connected era, every vehicle will have its own in-built telematics device and the functionality of a smartphone," says Gerry Keaney, chief executive of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA).
"The data this generates opens up a whole new range of opportunities to develop driver-based infotainment or navigation services.
"It also promises to revolutionise the ways vehicles are maintained and managed, enabling vehicle owners to share them between multiple users, fix them before they break down or streamline the repair and servicing process.
"There are huge amounts of money to be made or saved here, but only if you have access to the vehicle data," he says.
At the moment all cars have to have an onboard diagnostic (OBD) port. This allows mechanics to plug in a cable and access the data stored in the car's computer or electronic control unit (ECU).
Under European law every manufacturer has to fit one, primarily so testers can gain access to emissions data and check that the vehicles comply with pollution regulations.
But, obviously, mechanics can only access the OBD when the vehicle is stationary. So unless they can access this diagnostics data wirelessly, they say they will be at a competitive disadvantage.
The ACEA says manufacturers would be prepared to share this kind of data with third parties through their own cloud servers or via "neutral" servers operated by other companies.
But Mr Keaney says his members and vehicle owners would then have to go "cap in hand" to the manufacturers to access it, and would probably have to pay for it.
"Independent service providers will suffer and there will be less choice for consumers and vehicle owners," he says.
The aftercare industry wants equal access to this wireless in-vehicle data and believes the technology is already here that could provide it securely.
Public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure run programs called hypervisors that create virtual machines on computer servers. These virtual machines enable many different clients to store their data safely and separately on one computer, thereby saving computing resources.
It's the technology that has enabled cloud computing to take off in the way that it has.
"Cars could also run hypervisors that allow virtual environments and enable third parties to access car data in a safe and secure way," says FIGIEFA's Mr Pattemore.
Several other industry bodies - Cecra, FiA, ADPA, Leaseurope and others - agree, saying that an "in-vehicle interoperable, standardised, secure and open-access platform" would be preferable to preserve a competitive market.
This may be a complex issue, but it could directly affect the pound in your pocket. Expect to hear more about this in the months to come.

Their case related to the abduction of an Egyptian cleric in Milan in 2003.
The man, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured.
The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA's practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted.
The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements.
The group of Americans - 22 of whom were CIA agents and one an Air Force pilot - are believed to be living in the US and are unlikely to serve their sentences.
Italy has never requested their extradition but they will be unable to travel to Europe without risking arrest.
The group include the former station chief of CIA operations in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady.
At the time, he said that his opposition to the proposal to kidnap the imam was overruled.
The court upheld the sentences of the lower court which had sentenced all of them to seven years in prison, apart from Seldon Lady, who was given a nine-year sentence.
The Court of Cassation also ruled that five senior Italian secret service agents - including the former head of the country's military intelligence agency - should be tried for their role in the kidnapping.
Nicolo Pollari resigned over the affair in which Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, an Egyptian imam also known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a Milan street.
Abu Omar says he was tortured for seven months in Egypt.
The victim was found in Albion Street, in the centre of Leicester, in the early hours and was taken to hospital but later died there.
Leicestershire Police have cordoned off an area of Bowling Green Street and Albion Street while an investigation takes place.
Police have urged anyone with information to contact them.

Woakes, who has played 63 one-day internationals, bowled two overs in the eight-wicket win over Bangladesh on Thursday before leaving the field.
Speaking on Friday after being ruled out, Woakes said: "More than anything, it's really frustrating."
England's next game in the tournament is against New Zealand on 6 June.
"An update on a replacement for the remainder of the tournament will follow in due course," said the ECB.
Woakes is England's highest-placed bowler in the International Cricket Council's one-day international rankings at seventh.
The 28-year-old has taken 89 wickets at an average of 31.60 and an economy rate of 5.58, while he has scored 800 runs for his country in one-day internationals at an average of exactly 25 and a strike rate of 86.86.
"It's a tough one to take, right at the start of a tournament which we have been building up to as a team for a while," he added.
"We've had our eyes on the Champions Trophy for a while now as a team and we were coming into the tournament in good form.
"The toughest thing as a bowler is having to come off after only bowling a couple of overs.
"Leaving the guys out there with almost 10 men is difficult to take, so I'm really pleased the boys managed to get over the line with a win."
Woakes did not feature in the second and third one-day internationals against South Africa last month because of a thigh problem and despite a Test series against the Proteas set for next month, he says he isn't going to put a timescale on his recovery.
"I will rehab it as well as I can. I'll listen to the medical staff, they know exactly what they are doing," he said.
"We will be as professional as possible and try and get back as soon as possible.
"I don't want to set a target to come back, I want to take it day-by-day and build it back up to return as soon as possible.
"I've never had a side strain before but as a bowler it's one of those injuries that is important not to risk."
England can still call up a replacement, with Middlesex pair Steven Finn or Toby Roland-Jones among the contenders.
After New Zealand, the tournament hosts face Australia at Edgbaston on 10 June.
BBC Sport cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew
As an old fast bowler, I can tell you that having a proper side strain is like having a red hot poker jammed between your ribs. It seemed that he felt something and knew he had to stop - which was the right thing to do. It's not just a case of strapping them up and saying "on you go".
BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt
England were already likely to drop a pace bowler to make way for leg-spinner Adil Rashid, so Woakes' absence probably means a three-way fight between Jake Ball, David Wiley and whoever is called into the squad.
There will be a clamour for England to call on Stuart Broad - who the ECB had already asked to be rested for Nottinghamshire game with Derbyshire on Friday - but the selectors will be consistent. Steven Finn is an experienced option, while Toby Roland-Jones impressed on his debut against South Africa and offers lower-order runs.
As for Woakes, he now faces a fight to be fit for the first Test against South Africa in July. When James Anderson suffered a similar injury in 2015, he was out for almost two months.
Countries such as Malaysia and Bhutan have seen malaria levels fall - but pockets of infection remain, mainly among men living or working outdoors.
Writing in the Lancet, the scientists say this means that measures, such as nets, that help in homes are ineffective.
Instead, treated hammocks or clothing could be more useful.
In countries where there are high levels of malaria, it is largely women and young children who are affected.
But in places where there has been success in reducing overall levels, it is adult men who bear most risk.
Those working in forests or plantations, or sleeping in fields overnight to protect crops, are all specific groups - known as "hot pops" (populations).
In the Philippines it was found that men who went to forests at night to hunt or gather wood were six times more likely to be infected than other men.
In Sri Lanka, where malaria incidence fell by 99.9% between 1999 and 2011, the proportion of infections in men rose from 54% to 93%.
The Lancet paper suggests this might be linked to the conflict in the island, which ran from 1983 to 2009.
Other groups who are disproportionately affected include ethnic or political minorities who are typically poor and often on the move.
The authors of the paper say different measures are needed compared with traditional malaria prevention work.
Prof Sir Richard Feachem, director of the Global Health Group at the University of California, San Francisco, the study's lead author, said: "The malaria control strategies implemented over the last decade have been highly successful in reducing malaria worldwide.
"However, these strategies must evolve to respond effectively to the changing patterns of infection in low transmission areas.
"More sophisticated and targeted approaches to identifying those people who are infected, and responding promptly and effectively, must be put in place.
"The good news is that these new approaches are being pioneered with great success in countries such as China, Sri Lanka and Swaziland."
In addition, a different type of malarial parasite is causing problems,
Traditionally, the Plasmodium falciparum parasite has been the one responsible for most malaria cases around the world.
But the success in controlling P. falciparum in many countries has resulted in an increasing proportion of infections from P. vivax, another malarial parasite.
P. vivax is less likely to prove fatal, but is also harder to detect and treat, and therefore more difficult to control and eliminate.
The researchers wrote in the Lancet: "As countries reduce their malaria burdens, strategies that address the changing epidemiology… need to be developed, validated and adopted."
He has been Lille's first choice keeper since 2013 and has made 130 appearances for the club in all competitions.
The 33-year-old, whose previous deal ran until next year, says he is very settled at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
"I am very happy to extend my contract with Lille, a club I call home," Enyeama told BBC Sport.
"I love the family atmosphere here and would like to thank the club for the incredible confidence they have placed in me since I joined five years ago.
"Despite receiving interesting offers from elsewhere, I never thought for a second that money comes before happiness hence my decision to stay here.
"I will continue to give my all, along with my teammates, to bring joy and success to our supporters who have all passionately stood by us."
This season Enyeama's Lille, beaten in the Coupe de la Ligue final by Paris St-Germain, leapfrogged Saint-Etienne to finish fifth at the end of the 2015-2016 season to seal a place in next season's Europa League.
With 17 clean sheets from 35 league games this term Lille official Jean-Michel Van Damme is delighted to tie the Nigerian down to a new deal.
"Vincent is an exceptional lad both on and off the field," said Van Damme.
"To continue to work with a player of his calibre and a man of his quality is something fantastic for the club.
"He still has bright future and showed again this season, the full extent of his immense qualities. He is happy here and feels at home.
"He brings so much with his talent, his state of mind and ability to motivate the group, we could not afford to lose the opportunity to extend his contract.
"I also think that his presence will be important in the progression of young understudy Mike Maignan. We are happy that Enyeama is able to finish his career at Lille."
Gerard Hampson's body was found on the shores of Lough Neagh near Toomebridge, County Antrim, in 2008, six weeks after his family reported the 53-year-old missing.
The ombudsman has recommended that 10 police officers be disciplined.
Police have issued an apology for the failings in its investigation.
Mr Hampson was wanted for questioning in connection with an alleged kidnapping in Mullingar in the Republic of Ireland when he disappeared in 2007.
His naked body was found by a man walking his dog six weeks later.
The Police Ombudsman found what he described as "serious failings" in the police investigation.
He said police made little effort to find Mr Hampson, and failed to conduct basic witness and CCTV enquiries because of a police belief he was "on the run and would turn up when it suited him".
This meant that opportunities to gather evidence were missed, and resulted in an "overall poor investigation which failed the Hampson family".
The ombudsman has called for an independent review into the police's handling of the case.
Eight police officers have since been disciplined.
Ass Ch Con Stephen Martin has issued an apology to the Hampson family, and said he accepted there were police failings in the investigation.
He said the case remains under active investigation by the PSNI.
However, Mr Hampson's son, Denis, said he feared he would never get the truth about his father's death.
"Basic checks were not carried out. My father would have been always on the phone to us two or three times a day.
"Once all the contact stopped, we knew that something was wrong. They just dismissed it.
"Years later we are still trying to find out what happened to my father."
Paul O'Connor from the Pat Finucane Centre said that the family's concerns six years ago when they first lodged the complaint had been vindicated.
"The report shows a litany of mistakes and failures from the moment that the family made the decision to walk into Strand Road police station," he said.
"I notice in the report that they said they have learnt lessons, but there are some serious outstanding questions for the family."
Earlier this month, a 49-year-old man was arrested as part of renewed enquiries into the death.
He was later released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
The new tech campus will be based on a 517-acre former Ministry of Defence (MoD) site at Hullavington.
The vacuum and electronics company is aiming to double its workforce to about 7,000 in the next five or six years.
Sir James said: "After 25 years of UK growth, and continuing expansion globally, we are fast outgrowing our Malmesbury Campus."
The company's headquarters are based in Malmesbury in the Cotswolds.
"The 517-acre Hullavington Campus is an investment for our future, creating a global hub for our research and development endeavours.
"It will enable us to continue creating world-class products and jobs right here in the Cotswolds," he said.
In September, Sir James announced plans to launch the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology - a new university based in Malmesbury.
Earlier in February, the company opened a technology centre in Singapore.
Sir James, a prominent Brexit campaigner, said the company's plans were not affected by the UK's decision to leave the European Union. He added the vote was a "minor event" in a company's life.
"As a company, you do what you do, you invest in your future and you carry on doing it. Brexit's got nothing to do with it."
Dyson already has two sites in the UK - its Malmesbury HQ and a Bristol software hub.
Dyson has not disclosed how much will be invested in the Hullavington site, but the group has pledged to pump £2.5bn into future technologies and currently spends £7m a week on R&D.
Sir James added: "To win in the world stage you have to develop new technology and develop great products and that's what we're doing here.
"Because we're able to do this successfully, we're able to export our products all around the world and enjoy the really fast expanding markets that exist in the Far East."
No information has been released from Dyson about what will be developed at Hullavington.
Mayor of Malmesbury, Wayne Jones said: "He bought a battery company a couple of years ago so there is talk it will involve some sort of battery production or vehicle production.
"My gut feeling is he'll go down the electric car route.
Site preparations for the first stage of the Hullavington campus will begin next week and hangars at the MoD site will be restored from May onwards.
It is hoped that the hangars will be in use by the end of the year.
The site was originally an RAF training station, first opened in 1937, but has been largely inactive since the mid-1990s and was one of 12 put up for sale by the MoD in January 2016.
The judge ruled he could remain free pending an appeal.
Lula has rejected claims that he received an apartment as a bribe in a corruption scandal linked to state oil company Petrobras.
He says the trial is politically motivated and has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The case is the first of five charges against him.
Lula served eight years as president until 2011 and has expressed interest in running again in next year's elections for the left-wing Workers' Party.
On Wednesday, a judge found him guilty of accepting bribes from engineering firm OAS in the form of a beachfront apartment in return for his help in winning contracts with the state oil company.
In a statement, Lula's lawyers insisted he was innocent and said they would appeal.
"For more than three years Lula has been subject to a politically motivated investigation. No credible evidence of guilt has been produced, and overwhelming proof of his innocence blatantly ignored," they wrote.
The head of the Workers' Party, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, also hit out at the ruling, saying it was designed to stop Lula standing for office.
She said the party would protest against the decision.
The BBC's Katy Watson in Rio says Lula remains a popular politician and the sentence will deeply divide Brazil.
The charges Lula faces relate to the Car Wash scandal, the nickname for Brazil's biggest ever corruption probe.
Operation Car Wash was launched three years ago amid escalating public anger over political corruption.
The investigation centres on firms that were allegedly offered deals with Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and party slush funds.
Lula, a former steel worker turned union leader, came to office as the first left-wing leader in Brazil in nearly half a century.
He was Brazil's most popular president during his tenure - former US President Barack Obama labelled him the most popular politician on Earth.
Unable to stand for a third consecutive term, he was succeeded by close ally Dilma Rousseff, who was later impeached.
Current President Michel Temer also faces corruption allegations and is resisting calls for him to step down.
In the heart of Beijing's old alleyways, the polling station is bathed in autumn sunlight. It is busy. An elderly man has turned up with his wife on the back of his tricycle.
Three nurses, clutching their voter registration certificates, arrive on foot in deep conversation while election officials and policemen oversee the whole affair.
On the surface, it is a scene that would be recognisable to voters in democratic countries the world over. But of course, this is China and the reality is very different.
We drive to the outskirts of Beijing to meet Liu Huizhen, a 45-year-old woman who wants nothing more than the right to take part in this election.
She has managed to secure the ten nominations from fellow citizens that, according to Chinese law, are needed to allow her name to go forward for inclusion on the ballot as an independent candidate but she is not out campaigning.
Instead, she is living under constant surveillance and, as we approach her front door, it is quickly surrounded by a group of unidentified men who stand in silence and block our way.
By reaching over their heads I manage to knock and a few moments later, Ms Liu appears in her doorway.
But as she begins to tell me why she wants to exercise her democratic right, the door is pushed shut and the thugs lean against it.
She makes an attempt to open a window but it too is forced shut and she is, once again, prevented from speaking to us.
China calls its five-yearly, nationwide exercise in voting the "world's largest election".
This week it is Beijing's turn, but by early next year, according to state-run media, 900 million people the length and breadth of China will have cast their ballots.
As a result, more than 2.5 million deputies will take their seats in thousands of local "people's congresses".
Those local deputies will in turn "elect" the city and provincial level congresses above them, and so on all the way to very top.
So these local polls are the only chance most Chinese people get to vote but there is a crucial, unofficial caveat. It is the Communist Party that decides who gets on to the ballot.
For the vast majority of would-be independent candidates the task of obtaining the requisite ten nominations is made so difficult that their quest for office is over before it even begins.

We arrange to meet another election hopeful, 59-year-old Ye Jingchun, at her apartment complex in Beijing.
The residents' committee has called a meeting to introduce the approved list of candidates, which Ms Ye is not on, and we are hoping to speak to her after the meeting is finished.
This time it is a police officer who is there at the entrance waiting for us.
We are not allowed in and Ms Ye is not allowed out but a few hours later we manage to catch up with her.
"They were polite," she tells me, standing on the pavement outside a shopping mall. "But I couldn't leave the room. There were more than a dozen of them."
Her motivation for wanting to stand is a simple one.
"I was once trying to find my own local delegate and I could not, I did not even know who he was," she tells me.
"So I told myself, if I become a delegate, I could serve people who are at the bottom of society, who really need their delegate's help. I would not be a puppet."
It is a noble calling, one that would be recognised by those who choose to represent their local communities the world over.
But here, it is little more than a futile aspiration.
"First of all, we need to get the nomination forms," Ms Ye tells me, "which are extremely difficult to get. In fact, the community officer warned residents not to nominate me."
There has been scant coverage of the local elections in China's state-run media, beyond the usual bald facts and figures.
Nonetheless, an altogether different kind of election, a long way from China, has been occupying the attention of the Community Party's propagandists.
China's journalists have had full, unfettered access to America's open system of democracy and have used that access to full effect.
They have covered the US election as a case study in all that is wrong with Western democracy - the dissatisfaction with elites, the bitter, divisive nature of the campaign and the concerns over media bias and corporate influence.
And Chinese readers of this Communist Party-led reporting have been constantly reminded that they should think of themselves as lucky.
The US campaign has been described as "circus-like," a "chaotic political farce" and a "train wreck".
Of course, some of those sentiments could very well be written from the pens of Western journalists.
That, though, is the point.
Democracy is recognised, even by its strongest proponents as flawed and vulnerable to manipulation but that does not necessarily make it worse than the alternatives.
Public dissent, social discord and a simmering resentment of the ruling classes are not unique to America or Britain.
And the thuggery and heavy-handed control are signs that behind the supposed political unity of China's one-party state lies a deep unease.
It springs from the knowledge that even one independent candidate presents a threat to the very premise on which the whole system is based.
There is no reciprocal, open invitation to the foreign media to freely observe, report and comment.
Outside Ms Liu's house, the thugs have had enough.

The immediate cause of the incidents has been an intensifying dispute between Islamists and nationalists in Libya about legislative elections that created a new parliament in June.
The new House of Representatives was to replace the interim assembly, the General National Congress (GNC), elected in 2012.
Moderate Islamists fared far worse than they had in the previous elections and have been unwilling to accept the legitimacy of the new body.
Instead, they claim, the GNC, sitting in Tripoli is the only legitimate legislative body and the House of Representatives, sitting in Tobruk, over 1,000km (600 miles) to the east, is not.
GNC members are particularly opposed to calls by the new body for foreign intervention to improve security in Libya, where 350 militias have taken the place of the national army and police force.
In Tripoli, the dispute erupted a month ago into a struggle to control the international airport.
The Libya Dawn alliance, which backs the Islamists, has just wrested control of the facility from the Zintan militia coalition, which supports the nationalists.
Libya Dawn, which is now in complete charge of the capital, was targeted by the raids. It regards the bombing as flagrant interference in Libya's internal affairs by the UAE - which has denied involvement.
Meanwhile, since June, a motley collection of militias, air-force units and army groups under a former general, Khalifa Haftar, has been trying to eliminate pro-Islamist and extremist militias in Libya's second city, Benghazi.
It has been relatively unsuccessful and Islamist militias there have forced out his key ally, the al-Saiqa elite army unit.
Despite this, Gen Haftar has warned that he would extend his campaign across north-western Libya. The bombing raids, which he claimed his forces had carried out, seem to be the harbinger of this.
Whoever was behind the raids, other countries have always been involved in Libya's problems.
Britain, France, the US, the UAE and Qatar intervened in the 2011 civil war that toppled Col Muammar Gaddafi. Qatar has supported moderate Islamist groups since then.
That support has now drawn in other countries, too, for there is a wider crisis in the Middle East as well - the struggle to eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood as a political force in the wake of the Arab Spring and the July 2013 army-backed coup in Egypt.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have come together to confront the Muslim Brotherhood and similar groups wherever they appear - in Egypt, the Gaza Strip or Libya, for example.
The three anti-Brotherhood allies have also targeted Qatar, for its support for the Islamist groups they oppose, hence the raids on Tripoli.
Egypt has also denied being involved in the attacks, but it soon will be, simply because of its fears that radical Islamist militias in Benghazi will soon spill over its borders.
That is no doubt why Gen Haftar is a frequent visitor to Cairo. Indeed Egypt must also be very worried about the situation in the eastern town of Derna, where local extremists have declared a caliphate in imitation of the much-feared Islamic State - which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria.
Nor are the Egyptians alone, as Europe begins to worry that such extremism may soon cross the Mediterranean.
Police were called to an address on Preston Avenue at about 02:50 on Sunday where they found a man with serious injuries.
He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh but later released.
The woman, who has also been charged with robbery, is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Det Insp Paul Batten, of Police Scotland, said: "Our investigation is at an early stage and is very much ongoing.
"We're trying to gather as much information as we can from the local community, which has involved handing out leaflets to members of the public as well as door-to-door visits.
"There will also be an enhanced police presence in the area for the foreseeable future as we work towards establishing what happened within this address."
He added: "I urge anyone who remembers seeing suspicious activity in the area of Preston Avenue during the early hours of Sunday to contact police immediately."
Maurice Hammond's aircraft came down at Hardwick airfield in Norfolk, near Bungay, and his unnamed passenger, aged in his 80s, died at the scene.
Mr Hammond was flown to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he remains "sedated, to aid his recovery".
Family spokesman Nik Coleman said he was due to undergo further tests.
The pilot was wearing a helmet that gave him a "very high degree of protection", said Mr Coleman in response to "speculation online".
"His family have visited with him [sic] and are encouraged by his progress," he added.

Mr Hammond, from Eye in Suffolk, is said to be one of the UK's top aviators of the American plane, an expert on plane restoration and has appeared on a Discovery Channel series, Plane Resurrection.
The P-51 D Model Mustang - one of two Mustangs owned by airshow regular Mr Hammond - was on fire when emergency services arrived at the site, about 10 miles south of Norwich.
A witness reported he saw it approach the runway normally but it then disappeared behind trees and he heard a small explosion.
A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said it was due to remove the plane from the crash site later, in an operation that could last until the evening.
"It will be brought back to our headquarters in Farnborough and investigations will continue here," he said.
It could be months before the inquiry is completed, he added.
Norfolk Police said road closures remained in place. | All-night vigils will be held across the UK next summer to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in World War One.

Three behind overnight leader Dylan Frittelli, Fox, 29, fired an eagle and nine birdies in Sunday's final round.
South African Frittelli shared second place on 15 under at Galgorm Castle with England's Max Orrin, plus German pair Dominic Foos and Bernd Ritthammer.
After starting well on Sunday, local man Michael Hoey finished eighth.
Four birdies in his opening 10 holes left tournament ambassador Hoey only three behind Fox but a bogey at the 13th ended his hopes as he carded a closing 68.
In his three previous outings as the event's ambassador Hoey missed the Galgorm Castle cut but despite his struggles on the main European Tour this year, he showed improved form at the Ballymena venue this week.
Auckland native Fox's only previous Challenge Tour win came at last year's Le Vaudreuil event in France.
However, Sunday's triumph now moves him into the top 10 in the current Challenge Tour rankings and on course to claim to clinch the top-15 spot which would guarantee promotion to the main European Tour at the end of this season.
Fox took control of the tournament by going out in 29 after following an opening birdie with an eagle two at the driveable par-four second.
A bogey at the third didn't derail the New Zealander as he carded three straight birdies from the fifth and also picked up a shot at the ninth.
Four more gains as the 10th, 11th, 14th and 15th moved Fox to 20 under par and a bogey at the 16th was no major crisis given that he still had a four-shot lead with two holes left.

Defending champion Frenchman Clement Sordet shared sixth spot with halfway leader Wil Besserling, one ahead of Hoey.
Meath man Damien McGrane shared ninth place alongside England's Tom Lewis on 11 under with Northern Ireland's Chris Selfridge in the group a further shot back after a closing 69.
Clandeboye man Jonathan Caldwell finished in in a share of 36th spot on six under after a 69 with Warrenpoint amateur Colm Campbell (73) in joint 52nd-spot on two under and Cormac Sharvin tied 65th after a second straight 74.
The final day at Galgorm Castle included an albatross at the closing hole by England's former Walker Cup player Stiggy Hodgson as he holed a two iron from 235 yards which led to him finishing in a share of 23rd place after a closing 67.

The decision comes as the president prepares to unveil a new jobs package in a speech planned for shortly after the Labor Day holiday on 5 September.
High unemployment remains one of the main concerns about the US economy, with the rate standing at 9.1%.
Mr Krueger was previously a Treasury Department economist from 2009-2010.
If confirmed by the Senate, he will become the Obama administration's third chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in as many years.
Christina Romer served in the post from 2009-2010 and was followed by Austan Goolsbee. Both resigned after a year in the job to return to academia.
President Obama said: "As one of this country's leading economists, Alan has been a key voice on a vast array of economic issues for more than two decades.
"Alan understands the difficult challenges our country faces, and I have confidence that he will help us meet those challenges as one of the leaders on my economic team."
It also wants ministers to develop a new vision about how the NHS can get to grips with the "unsustainable" problems it currently faces.
Individual health boards currently decide on the mix of doctors, nurses and other professionals for each area.
But the review wants a "special" arms-length health authority to plan the 72,000-strong NHS workforce.
It claims the current arrangements are not working well enough and do not plan sufficiently well for the the type of care patients might need in the future.
The review panel, led by former Powys health board chair Mel Evans, said it was "constantly bemused by the number of bodies that exist in commissioning and providing education" in a country of just three million people.
Staff in the NHS in Wales cost £3bn a year.
The Welsh government currently spends £350m a year training health professionals but the review concludes the return on that investment is not good enough.
It points to problems of recruitment and retention "across many professions and grades" with significant amounts of money spent on temporary staff to cover shortages and sickness.
The review also notes concern that a third of Welsh medical graduates do not work in Wales when they qualify.
It also wants to give all schoolchildren in Wales the chance of work experience in the NHS and wider health services.
The new health authority should also pay attention to issues surrounding the Welsh language and explore ways of incentivising children from Welsh language medium education to work in the NHS
The head of the Welsh Deanery - the body currently responsible for professional training of doctors and dentists in Wales - has raised concerns that junior doctors may be being put off coming to work in Wales put because they think they would have to speak Welsh.
Prof Derek Gallen told BBC Wales in January said: "There's a perception they don't understand the geography, that they will have long commutes between trusts on their rotations and that they will have to speak Welsh".
The Welsh government said it would now consider the recommendations and respond in due course.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration said there was no evidence that China had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or resources.
China called the ruling "ill-founded" and says it will not be bound by it.
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including reefs and islands also claimed by others.
The tribunal in The Hague said China had violated the Philippines' sovereign rights. It also said China had caused "severe harm to the coral reef environment" by building artificial islands.
The ruling came from an arbitration tribunal constituted under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which both countries have signed.
It ruled on seven of 15 points brought by the Philippines. Among the key findings were:
The ruling is binding but the Permanent Court of Arbitration has no powers of enforcement.
The Philippines has had diplomatic spats with China over the Scarborough Shoal and Spratlys in particular.
It says China's "nine-dash line", which China uses to demarcate its territorial claims, is unlawful under the UNCLOS convention.
Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei also have competing claims in the region.
Although these islands are largely uninhabited, they may have reserves of natural resources around them. There has been little detailed exploration of the area, so estimates are largely extrapolated from the mineral wealth of neighbouring areas.
The sea is also a major shipping route and home to fishing grounds that supply the livelihoods of people across the region.
Why is the South China Sea contentious?
Rivalries underneath the South China Sea
As expected, China is standing firm and re-asserting its claim to the area.
"China's territorial sovereignty and marine rights in the South China Sea will not be affected by the so-called Philippines South China Sea ruling in any way," said Chinese President Xi Jinping.
He said China was "determined to maintain peace and stability" and was committed to resolving disputes "through negotiations based on respects to historical facts and according to international laws".
China's state news agency Xinhua said that "as the panel has no jurisdiction, its decision is naturally null and void".
But Philippe Sands, a lawyer for the Philippines in the case, said it was a "clear and unanimous judgement that upholds the rule of law and the rights claimed by the Philippines".
The Philippine government says it is now studying the ruling.
However, the BBC's Jonah Fisher, in Manila, says the lack of celebrations may be a result of the recent change of government.
Our correspondent says many Filipinos believe newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte may have sought promises of Chinese investment, in return for a quiet, dignified response.
The US called the decision an "important contribution to the shared goal of a peaceful resolution to disputes in the South China Sea", and urged all parties to consider it "final and legally binding".
Taiwan, which also claims the disputed area, said the ruling had "seriously damaged" its rights.
"We hereby solemnly state that we will definitely not accept this ruling," the foreign ministry said.
The US sent an aircraft carrier and fighter jets to the region ahead of the decision, while the Chinese navy has been carrying out exercises near the disputed Paracel islands.
This result represents a major loss of face for China, and yet the first response from Beijing to the tribunal's demolition of its claims seems be rather conciliatory.
On the one hand, the Chinese government has re-stated that it has territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the area and that the activities of its people there date back to over 2,000 years ago.
However, it then goes on to talk about "consultation with the states directly concerned" and proposes "joint development in relevant maritime areas".
Airlines and shipping companies will be pleased to hear that China has also restated that it respects "freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all states under international law in the South China Sea" and that it stands ready to ensure "unimpeded access to international shipping lanes".
All this seems to point towards Beijing possibly seeking some sort of negotiated settlement rather than ramping up the pressure on the Philippines following Manila's comprehensive victory in The Hague.
Esure said it had "reinvigorated" the marketing strategy of Gocompare - best known for the Gio Compario opera singer character in its adverts - during its first year of full ownership.
It said profits at Gocompare should rise by 20-30% this year.
Esure also announced a new chief executive for Gocompare.
Matthew Crummack has been appointed to lead the website, replacing Jon Morrell. Mr Crummock previously worked as chief executive at Lastminute.com from 2011 to 2015.
Esure took full control of Gocompare in March 2015 when it bought the 50% of the business it did not already own for £95m.
The company said that since then, "the marketing strategy has been reinvigorated driving growth in insurance comparison, the cost base restructured, and focus given to a wider range of products".
Esure chairman Peter Wood said: "Now is the right time to review strategic opportunities for the Gocompare.com business, including a potential demerger, in order to continue to maximise value for our shareholders.
"Shareholders will be updated following this review process."
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 17,790 of the dead were civilians, including 3,501 children.
Meanwhile more than 15,000 died in conflicts in Iraq in 2014, making it that country's worst year since 2007.
Much of the violence comes as a result of advances by Islamic State and other militants groups in the two countries.
US-led air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants, fighting between government troops and rebels in Syria, and sectarian violence in Iraq have also accounted for large numbers of deaths.
The air strikes continued on Thursday, with 17 against IS targets near the Syrian cities of Raqqa, Kobane and Deir al-Zour and 12 near the Iraqi cities of Falluja, Mosul and Sinjar.
Meanwhile Syrian President Bashar al-Assad marked the new year with a visit to front-line troops in the Damascus suburb of Jobar.
Mr Assad's Twitter and Facebook accounts showed pictures of him talking to two soldiers by a tank and shaking hands with a third.
The Syrian figures cannot be independently verified, but the Observatory says its draws on sources all across the country.
It said a total of 76,021 had died, slightly up on 2013's toll of 73,447 and bringing the total number of deaths since the conflict began in 2011 to more than 200,000.
Of the 2014 deaths, the Observatory said:
On the same day, the Iraqi government published its figures on casualties in 2014.
It said 15,538 people had died and more than 22,000 were injured during the course of the year.
The UK-based NGO Iraq Body Count gave an even higher figure of 17,073 civilian deaths.
The NGO said there was a "new brutality on the ground and renewed attack from the air", with IS and the Iraqi army causing thousands of casualties, and US-led air strikes also responsible for civilian deaths.
The year began with the government losing control of Falluja and parts of Ramadi in western Iraq.
In June, a huge offensive by IS left large parts of northern Iraq in militant hands, including the second city Mosul.
The death toll for 2014 from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is just the latest grim statistic from years of war.
Syria's refugee crisis
Conflict in numbers
He had just one cap to his name before that first experience of the Calcutta Cup, that war in the wet at Murrayfield on March 8, 2008. He smiles at the memory. Dank day, nervous excitement, called from the bench 16 minutes from time with the game in the balance.
"Who did I come on for?" he asks, searching the recesses of his brain. "Was it Chunk? It must have been Chunk." It was, indeed, Chunk. Or Allan Jacobsen to give him his proper name.
"It was all kicks, wasn't it? Chris Paterson, Dan Parks, Jonny Wilkinson - 15-9 to us. An all-time classic. I actually remember very little about that game. I know the weather was awful and it was a grind all day, but the thing that's stayed with me is the feeling of being out there with players I'd watched on television.
"I know I was humbled by that. I didn't think then that eight years later I'd still have only one win against them. That didn't dawn on me."
That's the reality. He didn't play in all those games since - five losses and a draw in the Six Nations and another loss at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand - but he played in enough of them. Too many, in a sense.
And so Dickinson is your man for keeping all the hope around a youngish and promising Scotland side real. He's a 32-year-old veteran and a respected voice. Four years at Gloucester, two at Sale and, most lately, another two on top with Edinburgh - with 52 Test caps, Dickinson's been around.
These recent seasons have been the best of his career. He has ousted Ryan Grant from the international scene and is part of a Scotland front-row that excites. Vern Cotter has more of a poker face than Amarillo Slim, but a trace of a smile can occasionally be seen when the subject of his improving scrum is raised.
Nobody is saying it's a juggernaut force, but it's more capable than it has been for years. Dickinson agrees, but this is no dreamer we're talking to, this is not a man given to outlandish talk of new dawns and imminent glory.
"It's not a surprise to hear Eddie Jones talking about going back to traditional England values," says Dickinson. "He's talking about having a massive pack, a rock solid set-piece. I imagine it'll be (Mako) Vunipola, (Dylan) Hartley and (Dan) Cole in the front-row against us and those boys are playing well.
"They're going to come at us in the set-piece. They have a quality pack and there's no denying it. We have to be able to deal with it. That's just the way it is.
"I played against Hartley when I was down in England. He's had a bad press over the years but my experience of him is of a hard player and a good player. I have nothing against him. We get asked whether we'll try to wind him up but I'm not really a cheap-chat type guy. I'm too stupid to start thinking about smart one-liners.
"I try to keep it as simple as possible. That's why I'm a prop. If I had any brains I'd be doing something else."
Dickinson is razor sharp, have no worries about that. He's also prepared for what's coming on Saturday.
"They'll arrive here with no fear," he cautions. "Eddie is making us out as favourites, but I've no idea what's going through his head or what game he's trying to play. There's a lot of expectation on England as well. If he wants to make us favourites, fine, we'll take it. It doesn't really mean anything, but we'll take it."
After the near-miss against Australia in the World Cup quarter-final, Scottish rugby people are between two worlds: the happy-clappy one that sees Scotland getting off to a flier against England and feeding off the momentum to trouble other big guns and then there is the real world where the likes of Dickinson hang out.
"People keep praising us for the World Cup but we didn't make the semi-final, that's the bottom line," he says. "For us, the quarter-final was the bare minimum. Fair enough, we got a dodgy decision (against Australia), but if we'd caught the lineout we could have won.
"That was heartbreaking and it's still pretty raw. I don't like to talk about it much. I haven't watched it yet. I will, but not for a while. Sport is cruel, isn't it?
"After the World Cup I just went home for a week and didn't talk to anyone. I made my wife miserable. We'll take that loss with us to the grave, but we learned a lot of lessons from that game. Don't do anything silly, do the basics well. That's a huge lesson to learn. A tough one.
"Don't put doubt in the referee's mind is another key one. We can't just blame the ref for those closing minutes against the Wallabies. We put doubt in his mind by failing to secure the lineout and it went from there.
"You come to understand that when you make an error at that level - and the Six Nations is the same - you're going to get punished. International rugby is so dangerous.
"Look at our match against Samoa, who have unbelievably fearless rugby players. One missed tackle and you are playing into their hands. They know how to play rugby. They're genetic machines.
"So that's another thing we have to brush up on - our defence. We can create and score but we need to be tougher to break down. We need to get so many things right."
Scotland ought to be more potent as an attacking force than they have ever been in the Six Nations, but when you're shipping tries to the tune of 12 in their last three games of the World Cup then the problem is obvious.
More power, more defensive organisation and more belligerence is required. Dickinson knows that better than anybody.
"It's been 10 years since we won our opening game in a Six Nations and of our squad only Sean Lamont was playing back then," he says.
"We feel like we're getting there and we're working hard. England have so much to prove and they're going to bring everything to the table. We owe it to our fans to do something special. It's been too long.
"They keep turning up in massive numbers and it's humbling and I hope they know we really appreciate it. It's not easy for them, it's not cheap and they're a massive motivation for us. We want to do the country proud."
Ramush Haradinaj served as a rebel commander in the 1998-1999 Kosovo conflict, which eventually led to the Kosovo declaring independence.
He twice faced war crimes charges at the UN, but was acquitted both times.
Kosovo's foreign ministry said his arrest was unacceptable, and that it was working to secure his release.
Mr Haradinaj, now an opposition leader in Kosovo, was arrested by police at Basel Mulhouse Freiburg airport in eastern France.
Authorities said they were acting on an arrest warrant from Serbia. Mr Haradinaj was briefly detained by Slovenian police in 2015 but soon released.
He was a commander in the Kosovo Liberation Army during the 1990s conflict, and Serbia alleges he oversaw a campaign of torture and murder against ethnic Serbs.
He has consistently denied the allegations, and stepped down as prime minister after just 100 days to face the charges.
The judge at his most recent trial in 2012 said there was no evidence to support the claims.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but its status is not recognised by Serbia.
The Wildlife Trust said excluding two areas off Northern Ireland's shores put sea life at risk.
They want Slieve na Griddle and South Rigg to be protected zones.
But the NI Fish Producers' Association argue that these are prime fishing grounds and fishermen would suffer.
Slieve na Griddle and South Rigg are halfway between Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.
In January, the UK government's Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) which is responsible for these two areas, did not include them as dedicated conservation zones.
The government argued that such a move could have a "significant impact on Northern Ireland's fishing sector".
However, it intends to review that decision in the coming months.
A total of nine marine conservation zones have been proposed for the Irish Sea.
Two of them, Fylde and Cumbria Coast, off the English coast, have already been approved.
Marine conservation zone (MCZ) status restricts activities like dredging and trawling.
The Wildlife Trust said the two areas are home to Dublin bay prawns (nephrops) and ocean quahogs, a type of clam that can live for more than 500 years.
Emily Baxter from the trust said fisheries needed to recognise that conservation zones were good for both sea life and fishermen.
"We're not saying they (fishermen) would be banned outright (from fishing in marine conservation zones), but if we do want to conserve the special species, then it would make sense to restrict access," she said.
"Supporting sustainable fisheries, instead of encouraging overfishing and habitat destruction, would increase fish landings, generate more income and create more jobs in the sector," she said.
"If these areas are allowed to recover, there will be more of them (nephrops) and they can grow bigger."
However, the head of the Northern Ireland Fish Producers' Association, Dick James, said fishermen would "suffer" if Slieve na Griddle and South Rigg become dedicated conservation zones.
"Eight thousand tonnes (of nephrops) are trawled from the Irish Sea each year, it's a £20m industry," Mr James said.
"We've offered alternatives which don't leave us entirely clear of the issue, but the areas they've picked are the most intensely fished areas in the Irish Sea.
"In some of the areas we've put forward, the fisheries are not as intense. We're basically hoping that common sense will prevail and that there are alternatives, more diverse than the areas they've proposed in the first instance."
In 2013, 127 conservation zones were initially proposed throughout UK waters, after two years of negotiations between fishermen, conservationists and other sea users.
Twenty-seven zones have been designated so far, but the government is currently asking the public what they think about the creation of a further 23.
The consultation is due to end on 24 April.
Laura Matthews-James, 35, from Pen-y-groes, was seven months pregnant when her Fiat 500 collided with Robert Hitchcock's car on 26 February 2016.
She denies causing death by driving without due care and attention after the crash on the B4300 near Carmarthen.
Swansea Crown Court heard she had no memory of overtaking two vehicles at once before crashing.
Ms Matthews-James, a biomedical scientist, had been on her way to work when she crashed into Mr Hitchcock, 54.
He was killed instantly and she was airlifted to hospital where doctors discovered her baby had died and performed an emergency Caesarean section.
She told Swansea Crown Court she had no memory of the crash but had no reason to rush to her job at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen.
She said: "I wouldn't take any risks because I was pregnant.
"My boss was quite flexible as long as I was there around 9am."
She admitted overtaking cars, sometimes two at a time on the same stretch of road on previous occasions, but said there had never been any problems.
She told the court: "You can see quite far ahead."
Asked why she overtook cars if she was not late, she said: "Just because they were going slower than I wanted to go.
"I was going about 40 in a 60 area. I thought to myself, 'I don't want to do 40 all the way to Carmarthen'."
The court heard mud from surrounding fields was found scattered along the road after the crash, which could have created a potential hazard.
Ignatius Hughes QC, defending, said Ms Matthews-James had been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder after the combination of the crash and losing her unborn son.
Mr Hughes read out a statement from a forensic psychiatrist who said she had been left in a "fragile and stressed" emotional state.
It said: "She has said she doesn't want to bring a child into the world because in her words 'I've killed my baby'".
The trial continues.
He sang about "mother nature on the run" on 1970's After The Gold Rush. Two decades later, he warned that pollution and deforestation would "trade away our children's days" on Mother Earth.
The latter is reprised on his new album, Earth, an environmentally-themed live album that - unusually - overdubs his performances with the sounds of the animal kingdom, from bees to buzzards; and cows to cockerels.
It sounds like folly, but the effect is strangely mesmerising - as if the stage is slowly being invaded and overrun by the natural world.
"It's about the connectivity of everything," Young tells the BBC. "Trying to be cognisant of how living things are affected by what we do."
"This is something that matters to me. The more people that pay attention to activism and environmentalism, the better off we're going to be.
"I mean, we're in kind of dire straits as far as the governments go. It's really down to the people."
Young's frustrations with government are far from secret, of course. He publicly remonstrated Donald Trump for using his music on the campaign trail - saying he would never "endorse hate, bigotry, childish name calling, the superficiality of celebrity or ignorance".
But his dissatisfaction runs deeper than one candidate. He is disillusioned with the entire political process.
"If corporate money and television advertising [are] the only way to really get elected, then you have a way where democracy can be corrupted by power - and that's what we have in the United States," he says.
"That results in decisions being made that are written by corporations, that the legislators pass as law. Things like the anti-labelling campaigns of the GMO (genetically modified organism) manufacturers. Things like that."
The star's anger at agribusiness - and patented, genetically-modified seeds in particular - fuelled his last album, The Monsanto Years.
"The seeds of life are not what they once were / Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore," he sang on the title track; while Big Box took aim at big business in general - "Too big to fail / Too rich for jail".
Both songs are revived on Earth, with Young's fury fuelling the gritty live performances. Several of the songs have subsequently been augmented in the studio, with Young adding a chorus of perfectly-harmonised singers to emphasise key lyrics. They represent the sound of "corporate harmony", he says.
"Aren't they perfect and beautiful? It's a little bit disturbing how good they are.
"You know as soon as you hear them, that you can't believe it - but you need to listen to them over and over again because they've hooked you."
And those animal sounds? Young largely recorded them himself.
"I do listen a lot to nature," he says. "Where I live, the birds are very vocal."
The star's connection to nature runs deeper still. Since the late 1970s, he has only recorded music in the week leading up to a full moon (although, being a live album, Earth is an exception).
"It's kind of paganistic [but] it is productive," he says. "As I look back over the archives, the dates coincide.
"A lot of people on Earth go by the moon, whether they know it or not. Planting seeds or cutting your hair - do things at the right time and there's a difference."
But Young isn't deluded about his abilities. Inspiration is "like a flame that burns and then goes out", he says.
"I look at it like there's an energy that floats around. Sometimes some people have it, and sometimes other people have it.
"Like, Adele had it for a period of time and really held it in her hand and was doing great things with it. I hope she gets to hold onto it - but no-one can hold onto it for long.
"It's just kind of a crapshoot, really."
Nonetheless, since his beginnings with Buffalo Springfield 50 years ago, Young has carved out one of the longest and most vital careers in rock. His writing is perhaps more uncompromising now than it was in his most commercially-successful period, with After The Gold Rush and Harvest in the early 1970s.
Later this year, he will take the stage with five other rock legends - including Bob Dylan and Sir Paul McCartney - at the Desert Trip festival in California.
The event is expected to have the biggest box-office takings in concert history, but Young (who turned down $1m to headline Woodstock in 1994) plays down the significance of the show.
"I know nothing about it really. I've been asked to do a gig, and I'm going to do it," he says.
"It's great they asked me to play with all those artists. That's wonderful, it's a great honour to play with all of them. But aside from that, it's just another gig."
Earth is released on 24 June by Warner Bros Records. Neil Young was speaking to BBC Breakfast; and Cerys Matthews for BBC 6 Music.
Mr Bean retires at the end of the month after almost 14 years at the bank.
Mr Lewis, who founded the Money Saving Expert website, is appointed OBE for services to consumer rights and charity through the MSE charity fund.
There is a CBE for pensions expert Ros Altmann, who helped campaign for the end of compulsory annuities.
Mr Bean's knighthood is for services to monetary policy and central banking. Also in the list, economist Kate Barker, a former member of the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee, is made a dame.
Nominees from industry and the economy make up 11% of the list this year.
Gerry Grimstone, chairman of asset manager Standard Life, receives a knighthood for public service to defence and business.
There is an OBE for services to road safety for Chris Hanson-Abbott, chairman of Brigade Electronics, which helped introduce reversing alarms for trucks to the UK.
Louise Makin, chief executive of British Technology Group becomes a dame for services to the life sciences industry, and there is a knighthood for Philip Dilley, former chairman of consultants and engineers Arup.
Jim O'Neil, the former chief executive of the unit set up to sell the government's shares in bailed-out banks - UK Financial Investments - is made an OBE for services to the banking industry.
It is shut until 21 October so the work, which is part of the wider £2.8bn scheme to electrify the main line from London to south Wales, can take place.
Three teams of 200 engineers are working 24 hours a day for six weeks.
Their work has included installing a state-of-the-art power rail in the tunnel roof.
Network Rail's Tim Butler described the situation as "unique" with five years' worth of usual work squeezed into six weeks, which includes weeknights and weekends.
"Within the six weeks working we're spending around £10m, so you can understand the scale of the work 24 hours with 200 people around the clock," he added.
Rail replacement buses have been operating between south Wales and Bristol while the tunnel has been closed, while flights have taken passengers from Cardiff to London city airport.
Despite the disruption, Great Western Railway has been providing 32 train services a day between Cardiff and London Paddington.
Work installing the electrified rail from England to Wales has already been finished, while engineers are now putting the finishing touches on the rail in the other direction.
Network Rail also said there was no date yet for when the line would be electrified from Cardiff to Swansea.
In a statement, it said: "Electrification between Cardiff and Swansea is expected to be delivered within control period six (2019-24).
"Specific dates and costs are yet to be confirmed and Network Rail is currently undertaking development work for this phase of the project."
However, the statement said one of the main benefits of electrification would be experienced by passengers in 2017 when the new Intercity Express trains are rolled out.
Ben Morgan's solo try for the visitors was quickly cancelled out by Julien Audy in a lively opening 10 minutes.
Gloucester's 19-13 half-time lead was helped by 14 points from the boot of Greig Laidlaw, but Jason Eaton's try edged the hosts ahead after the break.
Two ties in the last nine minutes from replacement Stephen McColl and Charlie Sharples won it for Gloucester.
Laidlaw's penalty gave the visitors an early lead before Fabien Fortassin responded for the hosts.
The first try went Gloucester's way as Morgan spotted a gap and beat the last man, Laidlaw adding the extras.
The hosts hit back four minutes later when Elliot Roudil fed Audy on the inside to go over and Fortassin's conversion levelled the scores.
Three Laidlaw penalties were replied to on the stroke of half-time by Fortassin, which meant Gloucester led by six at the break.
But the hosts turned that deficit around when Eaton ran in and Fortassin's conversion gave his side a one-point advantage.
Gloucester won it when great work from the backs sent McColl in to go over, while Sharples scored a brilliant solo try. Billy Twelvetrees converted both to seal the win.
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"I'm delighted to get the win, there were patches of the game I thought we were quite good - some of the stuff we did well and then we made a couple of small errors.
"In the end to come to France and to win - as we proved last year - is a tough thing to do, especially in La Rochelle with a fantastic atmosphere for a Thursday night - I thought we were very good.
"There were two outstanding tries - Ben Morgan's and Charlie Sharples' run in - those are tries we know we can score, if we can cut out the mistakes and have those moments of magic we're a team who can compete with anybody."

But with speculation rife about what that decision will be, pressure is growing on Mark Carney to make the position clear as soon as possible.
Sources close to the governor are now saying he may be obliged to make his announcement on Thursday at the time of the Inflation Report, the Bank's quarterly assessment of the state of the economy.
Given he may not want to overshadow that important event, could he even be persuaded to make an announcement a day or two earlier?
That depends on whether his mind is definitely made up.
And if it isn't, quite, then his next appearance before the Treasury Select Committee later in the month will loom into view.
Certainly those close to him believe he is leaning towards staying for a full eight year term rather than the five years he initially signed up to.
And this morning The Financial Times reported that Mr Carney was "ready to serve" a full eight year term.
That would mean remaining governor until 2021, rather than 2018, and is certainly the government's preferred option.
But, Mr Carney's journey to that position has not been a smooth one.
Immediately after the referendum, the Governor felt a 2018 exit might be the best option according to several sources.
Did he really want to stick around to "manage decline" as one person familiar with his thinking put it to me.
Or watch a "slow motion car crash" as another described it.
But since then Mr Carney's resolve, I am told, has stiffened.
The August cut in interest rates by the Bank and the expansion of quantitative easing - the supply of extra financial support to the government, banks and businesses - was welcomed by many and lifted economic confidence.
And with the wholesale change in the top positions in government, many in the markets looked to him as one of the few voices of continuity - well known on the world stage and still in post after the Brexit vote.
The governor remained a reassuring voice, a number of senior figures in the financial world argued.
Since then, there have been further wobbles when some senior figures close to the governor have sensed he might look again at a 2018 end date.
Theresa May's comments at the Conservative Party conference suggesting the Bank's ultra-loose monetary policies had "bad side effects" went down badly with many at the Bank.
The Prime Minister's further argument that "a change has got to come" only exacerbated a sense that the Bank's independence might be in question.
Downing Street has since reassured the Bank that it has no intention of clipping his wings.
If politicians had suggested anything else, Mr Carney would surely have walked.
The governor has also made it clear that it is not just his future he is talking about, but that of his wife and four daughters who all moved to the UK with him in 2013.
I am told he wants to ensure they are all happy with any decision to stay.
Nothing I have heard over the last few weeks - and I have spoken to many people in Mr Carney's inner circle - suggests to me that the governor wants to leave in 2018.
To announce now that he will go in two years would see power immediately begin draining away.
The markets would also be left with a further layer of uncertainty to contend with.
And the voices of those politicians such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, a member of the Treasury Select Committee, and Lord Lawson, the former chancellor, who think the governor should resign immediately given his economic warnings before the referendum, would only become louder.
I think Mr Carney would also see it as a personal defeat.
The Governor of the Bank of England, not staying to make Brexit a success, which he says it can be, but walking off the pitch at just the time the markets are calling for economic stability and certainty.
An Irish tricolour and another flag appeared on flag poles over Parliament Buildings for a time on Wednesday.
Contractors working at Parliament Buildings have been asked for a report by the assembly authorities.
The contractors are working on the site renovating parts of the roof and fourth floor.
The assembly said that the flags were removed as soon as it was made aware of them.
Speaker Mitchel McLaughlin briefed members of the Assembly Commission on Thursday about the incident and confirmed that the assembly would suspend any investigation as a police investigation is ongoing.
The move was criticised by DUP assembly member Paula Bradley who is a member of the Assembly Commission.
"The assembly is attempting to hide behind the ongoing police investigation to delay any proper investigation into the obvious security breakdown which allowed someone to erect an unauthorised flag on Parliament Buildings," she said.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness has described the fallout as "much ado about nothing".
"I think we have far greater problems to deal with," the deputy first minister said.
"I would prefer to keep the focus on trying to find a way forward so that we can continue to deliver for all of the people that we represent."
However, Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott said people should respect Northern Ireland's constitutional position.
"Clearly, what we want to make sure of is that people respect the constitutional position of Northern Ireland.
"Maybe it was a prank. If people come forward and accept what they did, that would be possible."
John Dallat of the SDLP said he believed it was a prank and he did not feel provoked by it.
"The previous day, I went up to Stormont to do my work and there were two union flags. I didn't get palpitations," he said.
"We are in a pluralist society - perhaps we should put one flag on the roof for each tradition and keep everyone happy."
TUV leader Jim Allister said it was "a serious breach of protocol and absolutely unacceptable".
The Devon-born musician, the only person to have won the prestigious Mercury Prize twice, tops the bill at the 15th annual festival at Glanusk Park, Powys, on Saturday, 19 August.
Grammy-nominated Ryan Adams, on Sunday, and Future Islands, on Friday, have been named as the other headliners.
The festival was a sell-out last year, with about 20,000 people attending.
Festival director Fiona Stewart said: "We are beyond ecstatic to welcome PJ Harvey.
"The sheer thought of it is already giving us goose bumps," she added.
The 47-year-old, whose full name is Polly Jean Harvey, became the first woman to win the Mercury Prize, when her Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea won best album of 2001.
Ten years later, her album Let England Shake, a collection of songs inspired by conflicts around the world, won the prize.
And last year, her ninth studio album, The Hope Six Demolition Project, became her first number one in the UK album charts.
She has not played in Wales for more than 10 years and the Green Man festival, situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park, will be her only UK show in 2017.
Other acts booked for this year's festival include the two-time Mercury nominated Michael Kiwanuka, Lambchop, Conor Oberst and Angela Olsen.
Among the other prominent acts appearing are BBC Radio 6 Music's album of the year winners BadBadNotGood, as well as DJ Jon Hopkins, Field Music and Julia Jacklin.
Previous headliners have included legendary Belfast-born blues and rock singer Van Morrison, ex-Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, US singer-songwriter Patti Smith, Cardiff rockers Super Furry Animals, alt-folk singer-songwriter Laura Marling, Fleet Foxes, Jarvis Cocker and Doves.
Founded in 2003, Green Man has become one of the most popular alternative festivals.
It won the 2010 best medium-sized event and 2012 best "grass roots" event at the UK Festival Awards, and 2015 best festival at the Live Music Business awards.
Ambulances were called to the attraction, which is Europe's longest zip wire, at around 8.30 BST on Wednesday.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said the injuries were "not life-threatening".
All other Zip World facilities remain open.
Customers due to ride Velocity over the next 48 hours will be contacted by the ride's booking team to rearrange their visit.
A Zip World spokesman said: "Our technical team has advised that the Velocity adventure should be closed for two days so that further testing can take place.
"Safety at Zip World is ensured through a combination of technology, training and supervision.
"We invest in the best equipment and best training on a continual basis to ensure that our participants are kept safe."
The incident follows a "medical emergency" on Saturday, September 3 involving an elderly male at Zip World Titan in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Mark Toner said renewed Russian and Syrian air strikes were making a difficult situation "more confused".
The US says it may end co-operation with Russia over its action in Syria.
But Russia has accused the US of trying to spare a jihadist group in its bid to oust Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the US had broken its promise to separate the powerful Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) and other extremist groups from more moderate rebels.
Who are Jabhat Fateh al-Sham?
How Moscow’s Syria campaign has paid off
Aleppo remains thorn in government's side
Why truce was doomed to fail
Mr Toner said the Russian allegations were "absurd". He told reporters that the US had not targeted al-Nusra for months because they had become "intermingled" with other groups and civilians.
He said a recent attack on an aid convoy, which the US blames on Russia, and renewed air strikes on Aleppo were driving moderate rebel groups closer to the extremists.
"What has happened now, with the hitting of the humanitarian convoy and with the subsequent siege on Aleppo, you've got a scenario now, a dynamic where, as these moderate opposition forces are under increasing pressure from the regime, that they are driven into the arms [of al-Nusra], and they have to fight side by side," he said.
"It escalates, and makes more confusing, what is already a difficult situation."
On Friday, Syrian government forces and rebels fought in the centre of Aleppo and north of the city, a week into the Russian-backed offensive by the Syrian army to take the city and surrounding area.
Monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a Syrian military official said government forces had captured territory north of Aleppo and buildings in the city centre, but rebel sources denied this.
Mr Lavrov made his comments on US broken promises during an interview with Stephen Sackur on BBC World News TV on the first anniversary of the beginning of the Russian air campaign in Syria.
"They [the US] pledged solemnly to take as a priority an obligation to separate the opposition from Nusra," he said.
"They still, in spite of many repeated promises and commitments... are not able or not willing to do this and we have more and more reasons to believe that from the very beginning the plan was to spare Nusra and to keep it just in case for Plan B or stage two when it would be time to change the regime."
The recent US-Russian cessation of hostilities deal was meant to lead to joint Russian-US air strikes on the Islamic State group and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which is linked to al-Qaeda.
But many of the more moderate rebel groups that the US backs have formed a strategic alliance with Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and now fight alongside it.
Mr Lavrov said: "We believe that the Russian-American deal must be put into effect. For this the only thing which is necessary is to separate the opposition from Nusra. If it is supported by the United States, not on paper but in real life, and then we will insist on an immediate cessation of hostilities."
The UN says 400 civilians, including many children, have been killed in the besieged city of Aleppo during the past week as a result of bombardment by Russian and Syrian government forces.
Jimmy Thoronka, 21, went missing after last year's Glasgow Commonwealth Games and was found sleeping rough in London.
He applied to stay in the UK, but the Home Office rejected his application.
Now he says he fears detention or being forced back onto the streets if he returns to Sierra Leone.
"I have no family, no house," he said. "The people I was living with have passed away from Ebola... I would be homeless."
Mr Thoronka, described as Sierra Leone's top 100m runner, competed in one 4x100m relay heat at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Mr Thoronka's adoptive mother was a nurse who contracted Ebola while she was working. She died while he was competing in Glasgow and infected the rest of her family.
Mr Thoronka was later arrested after being found in London and warned he faced deportation. He launched a bid to stay in the UK on human rights grounds.
The University of East London (UEL) said it would offer him a place on a foundation degree course if he was granted a visa to stay in the UK. A number of local business offered him help setting up a new life in the capital and a fundraising website was set up.
But the Home Office rejected his plea to stay and said he could only appeal once he had left the UK.
Speaking from north London, Mr Thoronka said he had cried all night after being told by the Home Office his application had been refused and feared his career would be put in jeopardy if he returned home.
"If I go back home, where am I going to stay? Who is going to help me, who can sponsor me for my training?"
He said he felt lucky to be alive after his adoptive mother's death.
"I am thinking that I shouldn't be here... I should have died," he said.
He added: "Before I was hoping that things were becoming better and better, and now everything has gone to back to zero for me... I don't know what to do."
Friends of the athlete say he does not intend to break immigration rules, which could see him barred from the country for 10 years.
But they hope ministers may intervene to overturn the decision.
Dusty Amroliwala, UEL's deputy vice-chancellor and chief operating officer, said Mr Thoronka was a "very special young man" and he was "deeply saddened" by the situation.
"Jimmy's story - his struggle against huge adversity, his determination to succeed, his fortitude, all in the face of losing his family for a tragic second time in his young life - these things all marked him out as being a very special young man," he said.
"He was exactly the kind of individual to whom UEL would wish to extend the hand of support and we are deeply saddened that we are no longer allowed to do so."
A Home Office spokesman said: "All applications for a visa or leave to remain are considered on their individual merits and in line with the immigration rules.
"Mr Thoronka's claim did not meet the required thresholds within the immigration rules."
The Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaces UK stamp duty under new devolved powers contained in the Scotland Act 2012.
The Scottish government has said nine out of 10 taxpayers will be better or no worse off under the new system.
LBTT is the first tax to be introduced by the Scottish Parliament in 300 years, along with a landfill tax.
The new system uses a graduated tax rate, working in a similar way to income tax.
Under LBTT, properties worth up to £145,000 will not attract any tax.
For sales between £145,000 and £250,000, a tax rate of 2% will be applied, with the introduction of a new rate of 5% between £250,001 and £325,000.
Between £325,001 and £750,000, the marginal rate will be 10%, with a top rate of 12% applying to all transactions above £750,000.
The rest of the UK will continue to operate under reformed stamp duty rules, as laid out in Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement.
LBTT band rates from 1 April
Up to £145,000 - 0%
£145,001 to £250,000 - 2%
£250,001 to £325,000 - 5%
£325,001 to £750,000 - 10%
£750,001 and over - 12%
UK stamp duty rates from December 2014
Up to £125,000 - 0%
£125,001 to 250,000 - 2%
£250,001 to £925,000 - 5%
£925,001 to £1.5m - 10%
£1.5m and over - 12%
The new rates will only be payable on the portion of the total value which falls within each band.
This contrasts with the former "slab" structure of stamp duty, under which the higher tax rate was payable on the whole purchase price when a threshold was crossed.
Finance Secretary John Swinney has said the new tax rates will see 50% of all household transactions paying no tax and more than 40,000 buyers paying less on the purchase of a new home.
Mr Swinney was accused of a "U-turn" in January when he announced revisions to the initial LBTT rates set out in his draft 2015/16 Budget in October.
The alterations came after Chancellor George Osborne made changes to UK stamp duty.
LBTT will be administered by Scotland's new tax collection agency, Revenue Scotland, with support from Registers of Scotland (RoS).
At 24, Carl Forster has only been playing as a professional for seven years, but he was given the job as head coach when Whitehaven were relegated to England's third tier in 2016.
And now he is hoping to draw on the fountain of youth when his League 1 side aim to cause an upset against Championship team Halifax in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup.
The tie, to be played at Whitehaven's Recreation Ground, has been chosen to be streamed live on the BBC Sport website on Sunday, 23 April (15:00 BST).
It is part of a commitment by BBC Get Inspired to, in the early rounds, put the focus on clubs who do not often get the chance to share the limelight with some of the game's giants.
"We can't wait for this tie," said former Salford and St Helens prop Forster. "It'll be a real chance to see how far we have come in the last few months."
Whitehaven turned heads when they appointed Forster as player-coach after last season's relegation campaign.
He is one of the youngest players in his own squad.
But the Cumbrian side have a strong start in 2017, beating Oxford in round four and South Wales in the league, while they also pushed high-flying Toronto Wolfpack close in their most recent league outing.
Forster continued: "My age has created a bit of publicity. There are a lot of people talking about it. But for me it's not an issue. Nobody within our group talks about it.
"The job has been good. It's come with its struggles, especially in pre-season. But as soon as the competitive games have started, it's been going well."
Now Forster's aim is to add to the collection of magical Challenge Cup memories that began with the 2002 final when he was just nine years old.
"My first memory was, as a St Helens fan, watching us in the final at Murrayfield when we got beaten by Wigan," he said.
"Then I was at the first game back at the new Wembley in 2007 when James Roby scored the first try there.
"Later I was in a St Helens squad that had a good cup run, playing in the early rounds. But now I'm just concentrating on doing a good job here."
West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna, Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian and Southampton striker Graziano Pelle are all included.
Veteran midfielder Andrea Pirlo and AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli had already been left out by Antonio Conte.
New York City's Pirlo, 37, has not been picked by the Azzurri since September's qualifying win over Bulgaria.
Balotelli, 25, scored one league goal in a season-long loan from Liverpool.
Italy coach Conte, who will become Chelsea boss after the tournament, was strongly tipped to include Napoli's Jorginho after Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio and Paris St-Germain's Marco Verratti were ruled out.
AC Milan's Montolivo has been struggling with a calf problem.
The Euro 2012 runners-up have been drawn alongside Belgium, Sweden, and the Republic of Ireland in Group E.

A joint statement raises concerns that continuing austerity measures pose a risk to public services.
In a letter to the Treasury, the ministers call for a meeting ahead of the forthcoming spending review.
The Treasury said it would continue to engage with devolved administrations in the lead-up to the review.
The joint statement on spending has been issued by Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney, Arlene Foster of the Northern Ireland Executive and Jane Hutt of the Welsh government.
The letter to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Greg Hands, states: "The three devolved administrations share the view that the UK government's ongoing austerity plans, reflected in both the in-year spending reductions announced on 4 June and in the Summer Budget, continue to reduce public spending in the UK too fast and too far, and present unnecessary risks to our public services.
"We also share the view that the UK government's plans were developed and communicated in an unsatisfactory way, with neither advance notice nor apparent consideration of the implications for the devolved administrations."
They also raise concerns about the timing of the spending review expected in the autumn.
Mr Swinney said: "The UK government's broken austerity programme is reducing household income, damaging economic confidence and weakening public finances. That represents a clear threat to our public services."
A Treasury spokeswoman said Mr Hands met regularly with the finance ministers of the devolved administrations.
She added: "The government's long-term economic plan is working: Britain was the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2014 and 2015 and the deficit has been more than halved.
"However it is still too high - at just under 5%, it is one of the highest in the OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] - and it is no surprise to anyone that the government has clear plans to deal with it.
"The spending review will set out the savings needed for the country to live within its means."
About 500 employees are leaving on Friday, with the remainder of the jobs finishing between now and May 2017.
In October 2014, cigarette maker JTI Gallaher announced it would be shutting its County Antrim plant with the loss of 800 jobs.
The factory has been a major employer in Ballymena.
A trade union proposal aimed at saving about 500 jobs at the factory was rejected by management in January 2015.
In a statement on the Ballymena plant, Robert Bisaillon, JTI UK's manufacturing vice president, said: "JTI would like to extend its deepest thanks to all employees that are leaving the company over the coming days.
"Their dedication over the years and their continued commitment and professionalism since the announcement of the factory closure has been exemplary.
"We would like to wish them well for the future."
One worker told the BBC: "I'm absolutely gutted, but that's the way things go sometimes. I worked here 14 years and it's a very good firm - the best firm."
Another said: "You can imagine what the mood's like - it's tragic for the local economy and everybody is very upset."
The end of employment for the 500 staff coincides with the introduction of the government's plain packaging rules for tobacco products.
Davy Thompson of the Unite union said: "It's been a real emotional roller coaster for people this week and the impact will be devastating.
"Around 90% of [the firm's] workforce comes from within a 10-mile radius of the town centre, so it's going to be a huge hammer blow, but it's only the first of many.
"We have Michelin coming down the line and the actual physical closure of JTI will be next year.
"So we're calling on the executive to set about putting jobs in there. Not zero hour contracts and minimum wage, real jobs.
"This is a highly skilled workforce which is why we need to look at not just foreign direct investment but indigenous companies being able to expand."
JTI is appealing a court decision on Thursday which rejected a legal challenge to the new rules, brought by four of the world's biggest tobacco firms.
Gallaher, which made Silk Cut and Benson & Hedges cigarettes, was taken over by Japanese firm JTI in 2007.
When the job losses were announced in 2014, JTI said it was restructuring its manufacturing facilities "as a result of significant and sustained changes impacting its global business".
It said a challenging economic environment, excise tax pressure and the illegal trade of counterfeit cigarettes had "triggered industry volume contraction in a number of key European countries".
The company said these problems had been compounded by European Union cigarette packaging legislation.
Anti-smoking legislation is being introduced across the EU in an attempt to cut the number of smokers by 2.4 million.
Carwyn Jones made the claim as he announced Labour will undertake a constitutional convention to discuss the future make-up of the UK.
He warned an inability to set UK-wide trade rules "could cost jobs".
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said he was baffled by Mr Jones' comments.
Speaking to BBC Wales' Sunday Politics Wales programme, Mr Jones said: "At the moment there are rules. There are EU state aid rules that govern what we can and can't do.
"If there are no rules, it becomes a free-for-all. That's a bad thing for any single market."
EU state aid rules regulate how much help governments can give to local industries.
Mr Jones said an inability to set UK-wide trade rules after Brexit "could cost jobs, it could cost a lot of money - that affects ordinary people, and that needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
Welsh Conservative Leader Andrew RT Davies said: "I'm baffled by his pronunciation of a trade war.
"As I last looked at the constitutional settlement, trade and industry certainly wasn't devolved and international negotiation was not devolved."
Mr Jones also told the programme that the battle to keep the United Kingdom together "will be lost" unless the UK government starts listening to the devolved nations.
"We can share power in the UK, we can still be stable, we can still have the union, but the UK government needs to realise this now otherwise the battle will be lost," he said.
"They need to wake up and smell the coffee."
Senior party figures from across Britain, including former prime minister Gordon Brown, will attend the launch of the constitutional convention in Cardiff at the end of March.
The first minister first called for a UK-wide constitutional convention five years ago.
Plaid Cymru criticised the announcement, adding that Wales needed its own constitutional convention.
Adam Price, the party's economy spokesman, said: "Rather than the Labour party talking to itself, why doesn't it talk to the rest of us?"
UKIP assembly group leader Neil Hamilton said he thought Brexit would lead to "more powers" to the devolved institutions.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams welcomed the convention but said "there's a much bigger question than what we're being presented with at the moment and that requires an UK response".

One litre of formalin, a formaldehyde-based chemical, was spilled in a classroom at St John's RC Academy, which is part of the North Inch Community Campus.
The fire, police and ambulance services all attended the scene, after a call was made at about 18:15
A spokesman for Perth and Kinross Council confirmed that no-one had been hurt in the incident.
He said that no pupils were in the building at the time as it was out of normal school hours, and that although there had been some "accidental damage", the school was opened as normal on Friday.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) sent two appliances from Perth fire station (including a heavy rescue unit) and an appliance from Dunkeld.
SFRS crews in breathing apparatus and gas tight suits cleared up the spill, which they soon identified as formalin - a chemical traditionally used for embalming bodies, and as an agricultural cleaner.
Fire station manager Bob Rearie, who was at the scene, said that the school had been evacuated and a cordon had been put in place as a precaution.
He explained that two cleaners had attempted to clean up the spill and were overcome with the fumes. They were checked by medics but did not require hospital treatment.
Mr Rearie said the area had been made safe and a cordon would remain in place until the area was cleaned and the materials removed.
He said the spillage would not affect the environment and that there was no risk to the public.
State broadcaster RTBF says Abdeslam may have escaped Tuesday's police raid, in which one suspect was shot dead.
The raid was linked to last year's Paris attacks in which 130 people died.
Abdeslam, a French national born in Brussels, has been the subject of a massive manhunt since the attacks.

Many of those hit by a cut to the winter fuel allowance might "not be around" at the next election, said Alex Wild of the Taxpayers' Alliance.
And others would forget which party had done it, he added.
At the group's meeting at the Conservative conference in Manchester, former defence secretary Liam Fox said spending cuts must be "for keeps".
Mr Wild said the Tories could not wait until a year before the next election to make the necessary cuts to the winter fuel allowance, free bus passes, the Christmas bonus and other pensioner benefits.
Mr Wild, who is research director of the think tank which campaigns for lower taxes and highlights examples of Government waste, said the cuts should be made "as soon as possible after an election for two reasons".
"The first of which will sound a little bit morbid - some of the people... won't be around to vote against you in the next election. So that's just a practical point, and the other point is they might have forgotten by then."
He added: "If you did it now, chances are that in 2020 someone who has had their winter fuel cut might be thinking, 'Oh I can't remember, was it this government or was it the last one? I'm not quite sure.'
"So on a purely practical basis I would say do it immediately. That might be one of those things I regret saying in later life but that would be my practical advice to the government."
Mr Fox told the meeting that the government had to act now to make further cuts to benefits and welfare.
He said "we can never go back" to the "historically high" levels of public spending seen in recent years and the government's public spending cuts must be "for keeps".
"This is the time to fix the roof" he said.
"We have a broken opposition. We have just won a general election and we need now to take the tough decisions we believe are right."
Now that Labour was not such a "great threat", this was a "great opportunity for us to do some of the more difficult things, however unpalatable they will be in the short term are what we need to do for the country", said the backbencher, a leading voice on the right of the party.
He added: "We need to do what we all know deep in our hearts to be right."
Mr Fox added that the government had to make the "moral" case for reducing public spending further.
"We are borrowing from the next generation to spend today. That is otherwise known as a Ponzi scheme," he said.
"It's what we are operating as a national financial policy."
He added: "If you continue to overspend there will be a day of reckoning."
He said this was because borrowing costs would rise and the era of low inflation would not last forever, meaning economic growth on its own was not enough to balance the books.
Older people would understand the need for cuts to their benefits to help the next generation, he suggested.
"We have got to start to get really honest with people because this is not a sustainable position," he said.
"We can't afford it now, we can't afford it in the future, why don't we try to get a longer-term plan put in place so that people can make the adjustments they will need to make for us to be able to get back into balance." | New Zealander Ryan Fox, son of All Blacks rugby great Grant Fox, hit a closing nine-under-par 62 to win the Northern Ireland Open by four shots.

William Clark and Sons, based at Upperlands, outside Maghera, traces its history back to 1736.
Its website states the firm is home to "Ireland's oldest linen fabric mill".
While a 150-year old building in the complex was destroyed, management said the fire was confined to that building and the business is still intact.
The fire was spotted by a dog walker.
A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) spokeswoman said they deployed three pumping appliances and three specialist appliances to the scene.
Firefighters pumped water from the linen processor's nearby dams to fight the flames.
Thirty-five people work at the plant.
The firm's managing director, Kevin Devlin, told BBC Newsline: "The building itself seems to be pretty extensively damaged and there is some machinery kept in there and some raw materials.
"But, it's been isolated to that particular unit, so I think we've been quite fortunate in that aspect."
Company director Robert Clark said: "It will affect one process but hopefully we'll be back to normal very soon." | Thirty firefighters have tackled a major fire at a textile plant in County Londonderry which describes itself as one of the world's oldest companies. | 39,096,665 | 245 | 35 | false |

Australia reached 132-6 in Delhi amid a mixed England fielding performance, with Robinson's side falling five runs short with a reply of 127-7.
Robinson insists England must "toughen up", after suffering "stage fright" and being "out-run" by the holders.
"We're looking for players who can stand up and be counted," he said.
"We want players who can play under pressure and have that aerobic fitness necessary to do the job.
"That will be a necessity for any women's team I'm in charge of going forward."

Robinson felt England, who miss out on the final for the first time since 2010, could have added more "twos" had their running between the wickets been better.
"Athleticism is a gift, so there is not much we can do about that, but anaerobic fitness we can do something about and we will," added the former Sussex coach.
"For me it's quite simple, we've got to get fitter and toughen up a little bit."

Captain Charlotte Edwards became the top scorer in the tournament with 31 against Australia, and former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent worries the 36-year-old is "carrying" the team.
"There is talk about when she will retire and if you take her runs out of this line-up, it is worrying," she told BBC Test Match Special.
Edwards, who agreed England did not hold their nerve, has been in the job for a decade, but has no desire to relinquish that role.
"Of course I want to continue captaining England, but if I'm not the right person then that's not going to be my decision," she added.
"I want to continue. I love what I do and I hope I can continue giving my all to this group. I feel like I'm playing as well as ever."
It is the third tournament in a row that England have been knocked out by Australia, who will chase a fourth straight title against New Zealand or West Indies on Sunday.
Steven Green, 43, from Kirkliston, and Alan D'Ambrosio, 51, from Edinburgh, were convicted of assault, robbery, abduction and attempted extortion at a farm at Philpstoun on 25 April 2014.
The 55-year-old victim was beaten up, trussed, hooded and forced into a van.
He told the High Court in Edinburgh he thought he was going to die.
The victim was targeted in an attempted extortion after he had negotiated to buy a company from former bank manager Green, but the money had not yet been paid.
A judge told the pair at the High Court in Edinburgh: "The use of violence in business dealings has to be suppressed by appropriate punishment being meted out to those who engage in it."
Lord Uist told them it was a "deplorable" incident of criminality and lawlessness.
He said neither had shown shame or remorse and continued to deny their guilt in the face of compelling evidence.
Green ran venture capital firm Pentland Capital and held an interest in Glencairn Risk Solutions - which was co-owned by D'Ambrosio. Both men had denied assaulting, abducting and attempting to extort money from the victim on 25 April 2014 at West Philpstoun Steadings, Philpstoun.
However, the pair were convicted of committing the crime while acting with others unknown by a jury last month and remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.
During the attack the victim was repeatedly hit on the head with a weapon and had bleach poured on him. He was robbed of a wallet, phone and car keys and threatened with violence if money was not paid to Green within seven days.
The attack victim estimated he was hit 30 to 40 times.
Defence counsel Keith Stewart, for Green, said a series of testimonials produced on his behalf were "remarkable" and reflected his conduct in business, family life, his faith and the help he had given others including through charity work in Africa.
Matt Jackson, defence counsel for D'Ambrosio, said he had previously been "a very successful businessman" who had enjoyed "significant success at times".

Moffat converted from the penalty spot to begin the comeback.
Cardle's shot for the leveller squeezed in despite the gallant efforts of Nicky Devlin and, with all the momentum and an extra player, Dunfermline went on to claim all three points.
Top-scorer El Bakhtaoui cut in from the right hand and from 22 yards his shot was taken beyond Greg Fleming by a touch off a defender.
Using a new technique to age the tissues of these impressive creatures, scientists have identified a male great white that lived into its 70s.
The researchers say the finding has important implications for the animals' protection.
Knowing the longevity of a species, how fast it grows and when it reaches sexual maturity is vital information for designing conservation programmes.
"These creatures are amazing and it's fascinating to study them," said Li Ling Hamady, who is part of a joint programme between MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US.
"Everyone thinks they know these animals so well, and the public perception is that they're either loved or hated. But in terms of the science, we're only just now beginning to understand what they eat, where they go and how long they live," she told BBC News.
Scientists have tried to age the spectacular predators by counting annual growth rings in their tissues, such as in their vertebrae. But the sharks' cartilage skeleton makes the division between these rings hard to discern even under the microscope.
Now, Ms Hamady and colleagues tell the journal Plos One that they made these rings easier to read by looking for a known radioactive marker.
This is a type, or isotope, of carbon atom that was produced in the fallout from the atmospheric nuclear bomb tests in the 1950s and 1960s.
It would have gone into the ocean and been incorporated into the tissues of marine animals living through that period. The scientists used the easy-to-detect radioactive carbon as a kind of date stamp to help them count and calibrate the growth layers better and thus determine the age of their test samples.
"I always think the vertebrae are remarkably small for such a big animal," explained Ms Hamady.
"Also, as they get older and larger, the sharks either stop laying down material or the layers become so thin they're really difficult to see. It's very fine work. I'm using a microscope and a razor and even then it's hard to get annual resolution."
Previous studies on Indian and Pacific Ocean animals - not using the A-bomb marker approach - had suggested great whites were certainly capable of living into their twenties. With the bomb markers, age estimates for the MIT-WHOI animals were up to 73 years old for the largest male in the study, and 40 years old for the largest female.
All these animals came from the Atlantic, but the researchers do not think there are any significant differences between the lifespans of the sharks living in the three big ocean basins.
Assuming they do live into the 70s in a normal lifetime, white sharks may now be considered among the longest-lived of all cartilaginous fish.
These icons of the sea have suffered some bad press down the years, very often unfairly, and like many of the world's sharks have come under increased hunting pressure.
According to the IUCN list of threatened species, great whites are considered "vulnerable".
But if, as now seems likely, they are slower growing and later to mature than was previously recognised, it means also that great whites would find it harder to recover their numbers if populations are depressed because of fishing, environmental and other pressures.
Ian Fergusson, a founding patron of the Shark Trust, commented: "White sharks have a fairly low fecundity in terms of litter size. Typically, females might have a handful of pups per litter, and we're not sure how often they even get pregnant in a lifetime.
"It puts a spotlight on the need for the conservation of white sharks to be considered on a par with the conservation we have - and take for granted - for marine mammals, which also have low fecundity, long lifespans and late maturity. The conservation of sharks is not like the conservation of trout in a river, and that's something people in the fisheries business don't always understand," he told BBC News.

Ballot Monkeys will be set on campaign buses and written in real-time.
The writers will leave gaps in the script to allow for updates as the campaign hots up.
Miranda star Sarah Hadland also appears as a TV presenter-turned UKIP official and Hugh Dennis as a Tory campaigner.
The creators are Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, the brains behind hit newsroom comedy Drop the Dead Donkey which ran for six series from 1990, and current BBC family sitcom Outnumbered, in which Dennis stars as the bemused dad.
Drop the Dead Donkey was also put together with gaps in the initial scripts to allow for up-to-date true-life events to be incorporated into the show.
Commenting on their latest project, Hamilton and Jenkin said: "We're very excited about this. We don't think anyone's done anything like this before, although we may find out why,"
'Brave or bonkers'
The series will be made up of five 30-minute episodes and will follow the ups and downs of the politicians, advisors, journalists and staff on board the battle buses of the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP campaigns.
"We haven't yet decided whether we're brave or bonkers," Fiona McDermott, Channel 4's commissioning editor for comedy, said.
"But a real-time satirical sitcom like Ballot Monkeys could only be handled by the remarkable Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin."
She added: "We are thrilled to have them and such an amazing cast on board our buses."
Ballot Monkeys is the latest in a line of politically-inspired shows made by Channel 4.

Niki Goneva's smart finish in the corner and Mike Fitzgerald's try after a Munster line-out error gave the English side a half-time lead.
Munster looked set to launch a comeback as James Cronin touched down.
But the Tigers scored through Ben Youngs, and even though Mike Sherry replied, the Irish province suffered a rare home defeat in the competition.
It is only the fifth time in 67 games that Munster have failed to win a home match in Europe's elite cup competition - and two of those have been defeats by Leicester.
Munster are nine points adrift of Richard Cockerill's Pool Four leaders - although they have played one fewer fixture.
It was a superb victory for the Tigers, who were clinical in the Munster half after having withstood waves of home pressure.
Munster did not struggle for possession in the opposition 22, but their forward pack were outmuscled by Leicester's, with England hooker Tom Youngs and countryman Ed Slater leading the resistance, while Locky McCaffrey dominated at the breakdown.
However, Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt, with his squad for the Six Nations in February to consider, would have been pleased by the performance of CJ Stander.
The South Africa-born number eight is now qualified to play for Ireland through residency, and the 25-year-old looked confident with the ball in hand, carrying into the Tigers defence.
But the hosts were undone by two key errors either side of half-time, as Niall Scannell's overthrow from a line-out gave Fitzgerald a simple finish, before Ben Youngs turned over possession on the Munster 22 before picking his way through a bemused defence.
It was a try scored while the Tigers were down to 14 men, with Marcos Ayerza in the sin bin, and was a blow Anthony Foley's side could not recover from.

The previous coalition collapsed after ministers failed to agree 16bn euros (£10bn) of cuts.
This new administration is seen as more pro-Europe and pro-austerity than the last one, our correspondent says.
Queen Beatrix swore in the new government at the royal palace in the The Hague, in a ceremony that was broadcast live on Dutch television and online for the first time.
The new coalition's motto is "building bridges", but the leaders have already warned voters that the new policies are going to be painful for everyone, the BBC's Anna Holligan reports from The Hague.
Both parties have tried to convince the public that in order to secure a stronger country in the future, they must make short-term sacrifices to get through the European financial crisis.
But this means an austerity package aimed at saving 16bn euros ($20.5bn) from the national budget by 2017.
September's election was called after the right-wing Freedom Party, led by the anti-European Geert Wilders, withdrew its support for Mr Rutte's budget cuts six months ago.
Mr Wilders' party took heavy losses in the election, while VVD claimed overall victory with Diederik Samsom's Labour Party coming a close second.
Police said there was no evidence of suspicious circumstances following the discovery of body parts in the grounds of Gogar Mount House on 9 January.
Other remains were later found a short distance away.
Forensic examination is still being carried out at the site and in the grounds of nearby Gogarburn Golf Club.
DCI Martin Maclean, of Police Scotland, said: "Inquiries are ongoing to identify the remains found at Gogarstone."
All too often here, when the land is baked dry, the winds can strip away an inch of precious topsoil in as little as 24 hours, soil that has taken centuries to form.
In the course of the most arid years, each acre of farmland can lose up to 70 tons of soil and then, wherever the dust is dumped, it can smother the crops it lands on.
In the Oklahoma Panhandle, the most remote area of the state, recent rainfall has been so meagre that fears have been kindled of a return to the apocalyptic "Dust Bowl" scenes of the 1930s.
Back then, agriculture collapsed and thousands of people left.
A survivor of the 1930s, 101-year-old Millard Fowler, who recalls sheltering from the "rolling black clouds" of the Dust Bowl, has seen similar conditions this year.
"Somebody asked me the other day if dust storms would happen again and I said 'they already have' - we've had some pretty good dust storms this spring," he said.
One of the worst was filmed by a local woman, LeLayne Tapp, and the video showed dust engulfing the community of Boise City, turning the sunlight orange and making roads impassable.
A farmer, JB Stewart, surveying one of his ruined wheat fields, told me that he had seen many droughts in his lifetime but the current one was "insane" because it has lasted so long.
"I've seen droughts over 50 years but nothing as devastating as what we've had in the last two to three years - I've never heard of anything like what we've had," he said.
His son Jarod, the fifth generation of the family to farm this land, said: "We've lost the crop and we've now got to figure out how to stop the soil from blowing.
"I'd compare it to the death of a loved one - you nurture this crop and invest in it and then you watch that crop die, it's devastating."
Across many parts of the state, the drought is acknowledged to have started three-and-a-half years ago with between 30-50 inches less rainfall than on average over that time.
Gary McManus, the Oklahoma State Climatologist, told the BBC: "The drought right now is the worst in decades especially in western Oklahoma.
"This has had a big economic impact on our economy - if you look at agriculture in 2011-12 alone there were $2bn losses from crops and cattle."
He highlights rainfall statistics for the weather station in Boise City in the midst of one of the hardest-hit areas, Cimarron County, where the total from October 1 2010 to June 12 2014 was just 43 inches.
By comparison, over the same period in the 1930s, a time of extraordinary hardship, Boise City received only 41.62 inches of rain.
Back then, massive dust storms destroyed such vast areas of farmland that a journalist, reporting on what became an environmental and human catastrophe, coined the term "Dust Bowl".
Years of drought, exacerbated by poor farming practices, left the fields without vegetation or any form of protection, so the soils were vulnerable to the winds.
In one notorious storm in April 1935, dust was swept all the way to Washington DC, where it alerted the federal authorities to the unfolding nightmare.
The wrecking of harvests and the crushing of livelihoods were then seared into the national memory in literature such as John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, with its account of the plight of the Joad family.
Since then, important changes in farming policy have lessened the impact of the drought.
The technique of "no-till" agriculture - in which ploughing is avoided and stubble is deliberately left standing in fields - reduces the amount of farmland exposed to the winds.
And farmers can now buy government-supported crop insurance and receive grants for planting farmland with natural grasses which are better able to withstand drought.
But what has shocked many in this region is that rainfall has been so poor that even some of the best-kept fields have become miniature dust bowls.
Rick Kochenower, an agronomist with Oklahoma State University, developing new techniques of crop rotation and water conservation, said conditions were "scary" and "make you feel helpless".
"We try to do the right things and have modern technology but Mother Nature still dictates what happens, she's the driving force - all plants require water to grow," he said.
A key question is whether future droughts will become more intense.
The farmer, JB Stewart, wonders if a long period of good rainfall that he enjoyed in the 1970s and 80s means there can be an equally long period of poor rain in decades ahead. Others avidly follow reports of a stirring El Nino, which could bring moisture to Oklahoma.
Dr Renee McPherson of the University of Oklahoma was an author of the Great Plains chapter of the recent National Climate Assessment.
She says the region experiences very large climate variability but that models suggest there will be a rise in maximum temperatures this century.
That could increase evaporation from the ground and transpiration from plants.
"We're less sure of what will happen to our precipitation patterns, but even if they stay the same, we'll see increased drying with those increased temperatures," she explained.
"We aren't sure what the droughts will look like in future - whether they'll be longer - but we feel that because of the increasing temperature they will be intensified."
Millard Fowler, the Dust Bowl survivor, worries that although farmers are supported, life will become tougher as supplies of groundwater, used for irrigation, run low.
He said: "There's very few living out on the farms anymore - they moved to towns where they could get television."
A Ronan O'Neill goal helped Tyrone to a 1-10 to 1-6 half-time lead and the Red Hands made it five wins out of five.
Derry scored five goals against Laois at Portlaoise, but the game ended in a draw, 1-22 to 5-10.
Galway hit a late 1-5 to draw 1-15 apiece with relegation-threatened Armagh at the Athletic Grounds, Danny Cummins scoring the crucial late goal.
Cummins fisted the ball into the net in the seventh minute of injury time to earn his side an unlikely draw against Kieran McGeeney's outfit.
The sides were level at the end of an entertaining first half on a score of 0-9 each, Stefan Campbell having scored seven points for the Orchard county.
Ethan Rafferty was sent-off for two yellow cards early in the second half, but a 52nd-minute Campbell penalty took his side into a 1-14 to 0-10 lead, an advantage which was extended to 1-15 to 0-10 by the 57th-minute mark.
Captain Aidan Forker became the second Armagh player to be dismissed and Galway came with a late charge, Patrick Morrison saving on the line for Armagh, before Cummins found the net with the final action of the game. Campbell contributed a total of 1-9.

Defending a 100% record to date in the competition, Tyrone suffered an early setback when Michael Newman found the net with a superb finish in the fourth minute, but O'Neill's goal on 10 minutes took the scores level at 1-4 each.
Sean Cavanagh had a chance to score a further goal, before Tyrone went on a run of six unanswered points, Meath replying with two of their own before the interval.
Newman landed three further points in the second half to take his personal tally to 1-7, while Peter Harte added three scores for his side as Tyrone led 1-13 to 1-10.
Two Cavanagh frees and points from Mattie Donnelly and Hugh Pat McGeary ensured a comfortable winning margin for Mickey Harte's men, who are promoted back to the top flight at the first time of asking following their relegation last year.
With two sets of fixtures remaining, Tyrone's maximum 10 points puts them four ahead of both Cavan and Galway, who meet in the final round of games on 3 April.
That means that the Red Hands are guaranteed at least second spot in Division Two which will be enough to secure promotion.

Paul Kingston's goal after just 29 seconds gave Laois the perfect start against Derry but play was delayed for a lengthy period while Kieran Lillis received treatment for an ankle injury.
Goals by Daniel Heavron and Shane Heavron kept the Oak Leafers in the game and they trailed by a single point, 2-6 to 1-10, at the break.
Christopher Bradley twice smashed the ball into the net in the second half and a goal by second-half substitute Mark Lynch and a late James Kielt point ensured a share of the spoils for their side.

And the identity of that year's US PGA winner makes it all the more pertinent.
John Daly will this week begin his career on the seniors circuit, no doubt looking to recoup some of the financial losses that have blighted his extraordinary career to date.
A quarter of a century ago, this blond-haired big hitter may not have been a 5,000-1 shot, but he was certainly a rank outsider. He was the ninth alternate to appear in the field for the PGA at Crooked Stick in Indiana.
It took Mark James deciding to stay at home, Lee Trevino's mental exhaustion, Gibby Gilbert's inner ear problem, Paul Azinger's shoulder surgery, Bill Sander's bad back, Mark Lye not being interested if he couldn't have a practice round, Brad Bryant attending to family issues in Texas and Nick Price becoming a father just to get Daly into the tournament.
The then 25-year-old, who missed 11 cuts in 23 tournaments that year, drove from Memphis to Indianapolis at the last moment. He teamed up with Price's caddie, the late Jeff 'Squeaky' Medlin, and promptly overpowered a course he had never before seen.
Golf had never quite witnessed a player like 'Long' John Daly. With a backswing that sent the clubhead so far past parallel it was nearly touching his left ankle, he bombed the ball astonishing distances.
Course designer Pete Dye's intended doglegs were rendered redundant on the soft fairways during an astonishing week. "I just remember every hole he'd go, 'Where do I hit it here, Squeaky?'" playing partner Billy Andrade recalled.
"John was like a blind man with a guide dog. He didn't miss a lot of shots."
Daly trailed Ian Woosnam and Kenny Knox by two strokes after the first round but hit the front during a second-round 67 and was never caught.

Despite his penchant at the time for whiskey, Daly claims he remained sober all week. He won by three strokes despite a three-putt double bogey on the 71st green.
A rule change introduced in 1989 robbed him of playing in that year's Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island. It was no longer automatic for an American PGA champion to be given a place in the US team.
Daly was overlooked again four years later despite conquering the Old Course to win the Open. Having taken the role of BBC Radio 5 live interviewer, I vividly remember that windswept week in Fife.
The original "grip it and rip it" golfer was among the most engaging of interviewees. Standing next to the R&A clubhouse, he cuddled his then wife as his closest rival Costantino Rocca came up the final hole.
When the Italian duffed his chip it seemed all over, and husband and wife held each other even tighter. But when Rocca sensationally holed his putt through the Valley of Sin, Daly abruptly dropped his other half, stating: "I gotta go!"
He duly won the play-off but never again fulfilled his massive potential. There was too much indiscipline, too many skirmishes with the authorities, too many wives (four) and too many tumbles from the wagon.
No golfer has a longer rap sheet. Eleven times he was cited by the PGA Tour for conduct "unbecoming a professional", and 21 times for "failure to give best effort".
Yet fans have always loved him. That is why sponsors continued to give him invitations long after he lost his Tour card in 2007.
For most leading professionals, turning 50 provides an enticing opportunity to top up an already healthy bank balance.
But for Daly, as he embarks on this veteran stage of his career, the stakes seem somewhat higher.
Rediscovering the qualities that made him a two-time major champion would help him reap much-needed spoils from the lucrative PGA Tour Champions circuit.
The US-based 26-tournament schedule has total prize money in excess of $55m (£37.75m), which, by coincidence, is a similar amount to that Daly claims to have lost through years of gambling and his 'Wild Thing' ways.
Daly should have been set for life, but this flawed genius found myriad ways to squander his fortune.
Every year we see his tour bus parked in the car park of Hooters restaurant close to the Augusta National during Masters week. He is there selling signed T-shirts and other memorabilia.
It feels a shoddy way for someone of such talent to be earning a living, especially given the way he provided golf with some of its most extraordinary moments.
And Daly will not lack for support as he joins the 'old guys' circuit - Bernhard Langer has already acknowledged Daly is "a huge draw".
"Deep down, he's a wonderful guy," said the 58-year-old German, who has won 26 senior events. "He's going to love this tour."
The last time Daly made headlines was at the 2015 US PGA, when he hurled his six iron into Lake Michigan while running up a 10 at the par-three seventh at Whistling Straits.
Now he is preparing for this week's Insperity Invitational at The Woodlands in Texas. Bryan Naugle, the tournament's executive director, said Daly's arrival brings "a needed spark" to the tour.
"John has been known to bring a lot of fans out on the regular tour and I think it will be the same here," he said.
Daly, too, recognises this is a big opportunity.
"There is nothing greater than getting it going and having the fans getting loud and crazy," he said. "That's just the way I like them.
"I have been working really hard, looking forward to getting on the PGA Tour Champions and hoping I don't embarrass myself."
There's no doubt Daly and the game of golf would be all the more wealthy if he succeeds.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) found the number of potential new house buyers in December 2016 was only "marginally positive".
This compared to much stronger figures for November, the RICS said.
But predictions for new sales over the next three months remained steady, according to the institution's UK residential market survey.
The survey found that 2% more chartered surveyors saw a fall rather than a rise in sales across Scotland last month.
New instructions to sell also failed to see any pick-up, marking the eighth straight month of declining supply.
Respondents to the survey continued to highlight low stock levels as a key concern, creating a lack of choice for would-be buyers, the report showed.
Simon Rubinsohn, RICS chief economist, said: "A familiar story relating to supply continues to drive both the sales and lettings markets impacting on activity, prices and rents.
"The latest RICS survey provides further evidence that both price and rent pressures are continuing to spread from the more highly-valued to more modestly-valued parts of the market for good or ill."
Scottish house prices continued to go up in December - possibly down to the lack of supply - with 32% more chartered surveyors reporting a rise rather than fall in prices in December, up from 27% in November.
The RICS said prices were expected to rise over the next three months.
An afternoon that had the potential to be a nervous one for the Swans became very comfortable once Llorente headed home Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick in the ninth minute.
Naughton struck a decisive blow in first-half stoppage time with his first Swans goal - a superb angled drive into the far top corner.
Victory opened a four-point gap between the Welsh side and 18th-placed Hull, who will be relegated to the Championship if they lose at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Sunderland, who beat Hull last weekend, were booed off at both half-time and the final whistle of an inept display that epitomised their season.
As Swansea manager Paul Clement pointed out this week, it seems perverse for a side to celebrate narrowly avoiding relegation.
However, having had three managers in the space of a season in which they were bottom at halfway with only 12 points, it was understandable why the Swans so enjoyed taking a huge stride towards safety.
And celebrate they did at the final whistle of a completely one-sided encounter they never looked like losing from the moment the familiar link-up between Sigurdsson and Llorente put them in front.
Sigurdsson now has 13 assists for the season, while Llorente has 14 goals and has scored in each of the three victories Swansea have recorded during a timely unbeaten run of four matches.
Also timely was full-back Naughton's first goal for the Swans in more than 60 appearances. His angled drive - set up by a neat pass from former Black Cats loan player Ki Sung-yueng - ensured there would be no late nerves.
It is now up to Hull to respond, otherwise Clement can lead his side into their final fixture at home to West Brom safe in the knowledge he will have a summer to prepare the Swans for a sixth successive top-flight campaign.
Sunderland's defeat by Bournemouth two weeks ago confirmed the end of their 10-season stay in the Premier League.
But two vastly contrasting displays since mean the Black Cats have provided a potentially decisive parting shot in the battle to avoid joining them in the Championship.
At the KCOM Stadium last weekend, they showed enough in a 2-0 victory to give some hope that, with some strategic planning and rebuilding, they could bounce straight back to the top flight.
But Saturday's heartless display, played out in front of a half-empty stadium that was almost devoid of home fans by full-time, laid bare just how much work they have to do.
Any promotion effort next season looks unlikely to feature striker Jermain Defoe, who has scored 15 times this campaign but has a relegation release clause in his contract and appeared to be saying goodbye during a solo lap of the ground at full-time.
Manager David Moyes has suggested he will continue in his role, but the home fans aimed negative chants in his direction during this game.
The Black Cats end their home campaign having earned just 14 points - the fewest in the division - and with a run of 10 games without victory, seven of which they failed to score in.
'It is not done yet' - what the managers said

Sunderland boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC Sport: "Everyone watching can see we need big changes. We need to alter the playing staff and I think everyone is aware of that.
"Jordan Pickford has been fantastic for us but he should never have got involved in the free-kick and we found it hard chasing the game.
"We lost two players through injury which didn't help. We changed it at half-time but ultimately we needed to impose ourselves on Swansea. The first goal was the turning point."
Swansea boss Paul Clement, speaking to BBC Sport: "It's a huge result for us. We've got ourselves into a strong position but the season is not over and we don't think it is done. Now have to look to next week.

"There's still one game to go. We'll be looking at the Crystal Palace-Hull game with a lot of interest but we can be happy with our work today.
"It was a bit of a messy second half but we got the job done."
On Kyle Naughton's goal: "A lot of those go in our car park at the training ground. That goal was a great moment."
Sunderland have two games to go before they relinquish their Premier League status. They may well wish they did not as they travel to Arsenal on Tuesday (19:45 BST) before a final-day game at champions Chelsea (15:00 BST).
Swansea's immediate focus will be on Hull's game at Palace on Sunday (12:00 BST). The Swans' final game is at home to West Brom (15:00 BST).

Norfolk & Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT) recorded 157 deaths in 2015-16, compared to 88 deaths in 2012-13.
Verita, which the trust instructed to carry out the investigation, said NSFT was not doing enough to establish why the deaths were happening.
NSFT said any recommendations were "already, or will be, acted upon".
The trust commissioned the report after existing statistics showed it had a higher number of deaths than other mental health trusts in the UK.
Figures for previous years included 105 deaths in 2013-14, but Verita said data collection was not standardised across the UK, which meant there was "limited means for making meaningful comparisons" about death rates.
It concluded: "Overall the trust's investigation process meets national requirements, but analysis or wider exploration of service and care management problems could be improved."
It also recommended improvements were made to the consistency of internal reports into each death, support and engagement with bereaved families should be improved and there needed to be better evidence that the trust's board had discussed each unexpected death.
Michael Scott, NSFT chief executive, said: "The safety of our service users is paramount and one avoidable death is one too many - that is why we commissioned this investigation."
A parallel report carried out by NHS England's Nursing and Quality Directorate concluded that since April 2015 NSFT had reported deaths in line with the new NHS Serious Incident framework and "investigated in a timely and appropriate manner".
The trust was placed in special measures by the Care Quality Commission in February 2015.
Ivy Atkin died after she was found dehydrated, malnourished and with an untreated bed sore at Autumn Grange, Nottingham, in 2012.
Yousaf Khan, 47, of Nelson Road, Nottingham, admitted manslaughter and was sentenced to three years and two months at Nottingham Crown Court.
His firm Sherwood Rise Ltd was fined ??300,000 for corporate manslaughter - the first case of its kind in England.
Ms Atkin's family said in a statement she was a "feisty person" who was still "alert" before she was admitted to the home.
They said: "We believe Ivy's life was shortened by the terrible care she received at Autumn Grange which resulted in her suffering a most undignified end to her life."
Commenting on the case, the Minister for Care Services, Alistair Burt, said it is "absolutely right" that the law should hold care home managers or owners to account if they play a role in allowing abuse and neglect.
"We changed the law last year so that senior figures can be held criminally responsible for the abuse and neglect of vulnerable people," he said.
"Today's sentences demonstrate that those who allow shocking standards of care can and will be held to account. I am pleased to learn that justice has prevailed."
Detectives were shocked by the seriousness of the neglect at Autumn Grange when they were called by a new member of staff worried about the conditions.
The council ended its contract and all the residents were moved out but Ms Atkin died several days later.
A post-mortem report showed her neglect led directly to her death.
Investigating officer Det Supt Rob Griffin said: "In 48 days she lost almost half her body weight. She was emaciated, she was dehydrated. It was plain to see that she was malnourished. She had a terrible bed sore.
"What we found tragically and quite appallingly was that the very basic essentials of human existence - food, water, heating, sanitation and cleanliness - were simply not adequately provided for."
Ms Atkin, who suffered from dementia, was moved to the home after being discharged from hospital.
In an attempt to cover up their neglect, a meticulous log book of her care was fabricated including when she was washed.
But Mr Griffin said it was obvious she - and the other residents - had been neglected with no care plans in place.
One care worker, who did not want to be named, told the BBC that staff were made to cut corners: "It was horrible. [If] the residents were ill when we said we want to ring the hospital they said just give paracetamol because when they are in the hospital the home is not being paid.
"There were no sheets to change the residents' beds. Sometimes there were no pads to change them. Sometimes there was no tea bags for them during teatime."
Yousaf Khan's barrister said he wanted to apologise to Mrs Atkin's family and nothing could excuse "shameful and deplorable" conditions.
Mohammed Rahamatullah Khan, 39, of Zulla Road, Nottingham, admitted breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act and was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
A manslaughter charge against him was dropped.
Charges were also dropped against Naseen Kiani, 54, of Whirlow Grange Drive, Sheffield, and Safeena Bibi, 26, of Plantation Side, Nottingham.
Scientists say the probe's instruments indicate it has moved beyond the bubble of hot gas from our Sun and is now moving in the space between the stars.
Launched in 1977, Voyager was sent initially to study the outer planets, but then just kept on going.
Today, the veteran Nasa mission is almost 19 billion km (12 billion miles) from home.
This distance is so vast that it takes 17 hours now for a radio signal sent from Voyager to reach receivers here on Earth.
Find out how long it would take you
"This is really a key milestone that we'd been hoping we would reach when we started this project over 40 years ago - that we would get a spacecraft into interstellar space," said Prof Ed Stone, the chief scientist on the venture.
"Scientifically it's a major milestone, but also historically - this is one of those journeys of exploration like circumnavigating the globe for the first time or having a footprint on the Moon for the first time. This is the first time we've begun to explore the space between the stars," he told BBC News.
Sensors on Voyager had been indicating for some time that its local environment had changed.
The data that finally convinced the mission team to call the jump to interstellar space came from the probe's Plasma Wave Science (PWS) instrument. This can measure the density of charged particles in Voyager's vicinity.
Readings taken in April/May this year and October/November last year revealed a near-100-fold jump in the number of protons occupying every cubic metre of space.
Scientists have long theorised such a spike would eventually be observed if Voyager could get beyond the influence of the magnetic fields and particle wind that billow from the surface of the Sun.
When the Voyager team put the new data together with information from the other instruments onboard, they calculated the moment of escape to have occurred on or about 25 August, 2012. This conclusion is contained in a report published by the journal Science.
"This is big; it's really impressive - the first human-made object to make it out into interstellar space," said Prof Don Gurnett from the University of Iowa and the principal investigator on the PWS.
On 25 August, 2012, Voyager-1 was some 121 Astronomical Units away. That is, 121 times the separation between the Earth and the Sun.
Breaching the boundary, known technically as the heliopause, was, said the English Astronomer Royal, Prof Sir Martin Rees, a remarkable achievement: "It's utterly astonishing that this fragile artefact, based on 1970s technology, can signal its presence from this immense distance."
Although now embedded in the gas, dust and magnetic fields from other stars, Voyager still feels a gravitational tug from the Sun, just as some comets do that lie even further out in space. But to all intents and purposes, it has left what most people would define as the Solar System. It is now in a completely new domain.
To boldly go beyond the Solar System
Voyager-1 departed Earth on 5 September 1977, a few days after its sister spacecraft, Voyager-2.
The pair's primary objective was to survey the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - a task they completed in 1989.
They were then steered towards deep space. It is expected that their plutonium power sources will stop supplying electricity in about 10 years, at which point their instruments and their 20W transmitters will die.
Voyager-1 will not approach another star for nearly 40,000 years, even though it is moving at 45km/s (100,000mph).
"Voyager-1 will be in orbit around the centre of our galaxy with all its stars for billions of years," said Prof Stone.
The probe's work is not quite done, however. For as long as they have working instruments, scientists will want to sample the new environment.
The new region through which Voyager is now flying was generated and sculpted by big stars that exploded millions of years ago.
There is indirect evidence and models to describe the conditions in this medium, but Voyager can now measure them for real and report back.
The renowned British planetary scientist Prof Fred Taylor commented: "As a young post-doc, I went to [Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory] and worked for a while with the team that was doing the science definition study for the Outer Planets Grand Tour, which later became Voyager.
"It seemed so incredible and exciting to think we would see and explore Jupiter and Saturn close up, let alone Uranus and Neptune.
"The idea that the spacecraft would then exit the Solar System altogether was so way out, figuratively as well as literally, that we didn't even discuss it then, although I suppose we knew it would happen someday. Forty-three years later, that day has arrived, and Voyager is still finding new frontiers."

The execution of Clayton Lockett, 38, was stopped after 20 minutes, when one of his veins ruptured, preventing the drugs from taking full effect.
The execution of a fellow inmate, due two hours later, was postponed.
Both men had unsuccessfully challenged a state law that shields the identities of companies supplying the drugs.
By Victoria GillScience reporter, BBC News
Since it was first used in Texas in 1982, "the triple-drug cocktail" has become the standard execution method in US states that have the death penalty. It was designed by anaesthesiologist Stanley Deutsch as an "extremely humane" way to end life.
The first drug, a barbiturate, "shuts down" the central nervous system, rendering the prisoner unconscious. The second paralyses the muscles and stops the person breathing. The third, potassium chloride, stops the heart.
But critics suggest that the method may well be painful. One suggestion is that people could be too sedated by the first drug to cry out, or that they might be in pain but paralysed by the second drug.
Another complication, as appears to have been the case with Clayton Lockett, is that intravenous drug use is common among death row inmates, meaning many prisoners have damaged veins that are difficult to inject.
Problems sourcing some of the drugs in the official protocol have also led to claims that states are using untested drugs in their executions.
The problems surrounding Lockett's execution come amid a wider debate over the legality of the three-drug method and whether its use violates guarantees in the US constitution "against cruel and unusual punishment".
Lockett was sentenced to death for shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in 1999.
Ms Neiman and a friend had interrupted the men as they robbed a home.
Lockett writhed and shook uncontrollably after the drugs were administered, witnesses said.
"We believe that a vein was blown and the drugs weren't working as they were designed to. The director ordered a halt to the execution," Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said.
But Lockett's lawyer, David Autry, questioned the remarks, insisting his client "had large arms and very prominent veins," according to the Associated Press.
The prisoner was moving his arms and legs and straining his head, mumbling "as if he was trying to talk", Courtney Francisco, a local journalist present at the execution, told the BBC.
Prison officials pulled a curtain across the view of witnesses when it became apparent that something had gone wrong.
"It was a horrible thing to witness. This was totally botched," Mr Autry said.
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said in a statement that she had ordered a full review of the state's execution procedures.
Fellow inmate Charles Warner, 46, had been scheduled to be put to death in the same room two hours later in a rare double execution.
Warner's lawyer, Madeline Cohen, who witnessed Lockett's execution, said he had been "tortured to death" and called for an investigation.
"The state must disclose complete information about the drugs, including their purity, efficacy, source and the results of any testing," she said.â€
Tens of thousands will die if treatment does not reach them soon, Unicef warns.
In areas where Boko Haram militants had been in control, it found people without water, food or sanitation.
Last month, a charity said people fleeing Boko Haram had starved to death.
The Islamist group's seven-year rebellion has left 20,000 people dead and more than two million displaced.
Nigeria's military is involved in a large-scale offensive against the group.
Unicef says that as more areas in north-eastern Nigeria become accessible to humanitarian help, the extent of the nutrition crisis affecting children is becoming more apparent.
It said that of the 244,000 children found to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Borno, almost one in five would die if they were not reached with treatment.
"Some 134 children on average will die every day from causes linked to acute malnutrition if the response is not scaled up quickly," said Manuel Fontaine, Unicef's Regional Director for Western and Central Africa.
"We need all partners and donors to step forward to prevent any more children from dying. No-one can take on a crisis of this scale alone."
Mr Fontaine said he had seen destroyed towns accommodating displaced people and thousands of frail children in desperate need of help.
"There are two million people we are still not able to reach in Borno state, which means that the true scope of this crisis has yet to be revealed to the world," he added.
"There are organisations on the ground doing great work, but none of us are able to work at the scale and quality that we need. We must all scale up."
MSF said in June that a "catastrophic humanitarian emergency" was unfolding at one camp in Bama, Borno state, where 24,000 people had taken refuge.
Many inhabitants were traumatised and one in five children was suffering from acute malnutrition, it said.

Judging on Tuesday had to be postponed after two cases of vandalism in the village overnight.
Police have appealed for information after large planter pots outside Parkanaur Forest Park were tipped over and plants in a garden at a house on Kileeshill Road were also destroyed.
Ulster Unionist MLA Rosemary Barton said members of the Castlecaufield Horticultural Society had put tremendous effort into the competition.
She said the damage may have been caused to ruin the village's chances of winning it.
"It is clear that there are some out there who are intent on disrupting the chances of Castlecaufield being crowned Village in Bloom 2016 and Britain in Bloom 2016," she said.
"Judging was set to take place in the village today, however, following this pointless act of vandalism last night, I believe judging has been postponed until Monday August 1.
"Various flower pots containing beautiful displays have been smashed across the road. I cannot comprehend the reasoning behind such an attack.
"The members of the Castlecaufield Horticultural Society put in tremendous effort each year for the Village in Bloom competition, so I am extremely annoyed to see their hard work being destroyed time and time again."
Sgt Brian Greenaway said: "I would appeal to anyone who say anything suspicious in either of these areas overnight, or to anyone who can assist in our enquiries in any way, to contact police in Dungannon on 101.
"Alternatively, information can be given anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
It has been empty since Glasgow University academic Prof Muffy Calder stepped down in December 2014.
The position involves giving independent scientific advice to ministers on a range of issues.
Ministers said they had already committed to advertising the job by the end of the year.
The post of chief scientific adviser (CSA) was previously advertised between March and April this year, but the government was unable to appoint a successor.
The issue had also delayed the replacement of several members of the Scottish Science Advisory Council - including the chairman - whose terms of office ended earlier this year.
Their recruitment had been put on hold pending appointment of a new CSA, however, the government subsequently decided to move ahead with the process, and interviews are being held this week.
Science advice
In the last 12 months, the Scottish government has announced a moratorium on fracking and underground coal gasification, a ban on growing GM crops and has played a key role in the recent international climate change talks in Paris.
All are issues in which a chief scientific adviser may have provided advice to ministers.
Earlier this year, Prof Calder said the government's GM crops decision could have "apocalyptic" consequences and threaten the country's food and drinks industry.
Her views have been echoed by another former chief scientific adviser for Scotland, Dame Anne Glover.
The Scottish government said in September that it would advertise for a new chief scientific adviser, after asking for help from university principals and others to fill the post.
A government spokesperson said: "In the meantime, the remaining chief scientists, covering health and rural affairs, food and the environment, continue to carry out key tasks that would usually be done by the CSA Scotland.
"The Scottish government remains committed to drawing on the very best science advice and expertise."
Ministers said they hoped to announce the new members and chairman of the Scottish Science Advisory Council "early in 2016".
Bernhard Langer won the Senior Open at the Royal Porthcawl on Sunday - the German's 87th professional title but the first major to be staged in Wales.
And after a weekend of lavish praise from the players and 43,503 spectators, the Royal Porthcawl is being tipped to host golf's blue riband event, the Open.
The course has made a bid to the Royal & Ancient, golf's world governing body, to be added to its roster of Open venues, alongside illustrious locations such as St Andrews.
It was just one great hole after another and one great green complex after another. I really fell in love with it immediately
The Royal Porthcawl would need to satisfy a number of logistical and infrastructure requirements but, as far as the course is concerned, opinion is overwhelmingly positive.
Chief among the advocates is the great Tom Watson, who is convinced this 119-year-old course should host the Open.
"I talked to [R&A chief executive] Peter Dawson about the Open being played here and said that, in my opinion, it would be a great course for that," said Watson.
"I played my first practice round on Monday and, from the first hole on, it was just one great hole after another and one great green complex after another. I really fell in love with it immediately. It's a great golf course."
A five-time winner of the Open Championship, Watson is as sound a judge of a links course as anyone.
And there is no doubting the authenticity of his affection for the Royal Porthcawl.
It is not as if the American was turning on the charm to win over the locals - his mere presence was enough to do that, his effortless gravitas a magnetic pull for spectators around the course.
Watson was the main attraction of a stellar group on the opening two days of the Senior Open, playing alongside Colin Montgomerie and Fred Couples.
Although Ryder Cup great Montgomerie and former Masters champion Couples drew a significant following, their popularity paled in comparison to the reverence which met Watson at every tee and green.
Cool and courteous, Watson embodies the statesmanlike grandeur of a bygone era when he, Jack Nicklaus and others dominated golf with a ruthless professionalism but a gentlemanly sense of fairness and class too.
It is his standing in the game which gave his endorsement of the course such credence, and he was not the only notable name praising the Royal Porthcawl.
"I think it's a very underrated and underplayed golf course," said Montgomerie, who captained Europe to a Ryder Cup victory over the United States at Newport's Celtic Manor in 2010.
"The first five holes are particularly tricky, the eighth hole is a particularly good hole, while the 15th is a super par-three."
The difficulty of the course is one of its strongest selling points, with Watson and Langer among those to declare Royal Porthcawl a tougher proposition than Hoylake, which hosted the 2013 Open.
Wales is the only one of the home nations never to have staged the Open, though the events of the last week could help end that barren run.
Even before the leading lights of the Senior Open offered their support, there had already been political backing for a bid to host the Open at Porthcawl.
First Minister Carwyn Jones cited the 2010 Ryder Cup as proof of Wales' ability to stage major competitions.
"We have already proven that Wales can host top quality, international golf events," Jones said, at the launch of the Senior Open in 2013.
"We have the facilities, the venues, the infrastructure and, most importantly, the welcome that all add up to us being a great host country."
While the course is generally perceived to be ready for the rigours of an Open, the consensus seems to be that the infrastructure around the Royal Porthcawl requires work.
Roads leading to the course are narrow and residential, while local public transport could struggle to cater for the huge crowds that Open championships attract.
Support in the form of grants and sponsorship could improve the surrounding infrastructure but, even if the R&A gives its blessing, it could be a decade or so before the Royal Porthcawl is added to the Open roster.
It has the history befitting an Open venue, having hosted a number of European Tour events as well as the Walker Cup in 1995, when a 19-year-old Tiger Woods was a part of the United States team which lost to Great Britain and Ireland.
Woods may not relish a return to Wales, having also tasted defeat with the United States in the 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor.
But if his fellow giants of the game - Watson et al - are granted their wish, golf's leading figures could one day be playing at the Royal Porthcawl on a regular basis. | Olympic gymnast Kohei Uchimura racked up a £3,700 mobile phone bill playing Pokemon Go in Rio.

The two men have contested the police's account that the victims were shot in an exchange, suggesting instead the killings were staged encounter deaths.
The police have denied the claim.
The commission has ordered the men - local villagers - be given protection and an investigation be carried out.
Rights activists say more witnesses are willing to come forward to support the allegation that the men were killed in a staged encounter near the holy town of Tirupati in the state of Andhra Pradesh on 7 April.
The police say the killings took place after they challenged a group of 100 red sandalwood smugglers who attacked them with axes and stones.
Sandalwood smuggling is rampant in southern India, with a tonne selling for tens of thousands of dollars on the international black market.
Red sandalwood or red sanders is a species of tree endemic to the Western Ghats of India.
The tree is prized for its rich red wood, mainly for making furniture, and is not to be confused with the highly aromatic sandalwood trees that are native to southern India.
Most of those killed are believed to be Tamils and there was an angry reaction in Tamil Nadu to the killing.
Correspondents say the loggers are often tribespeople or other poor migrant workers from Tamil Nadu.
India banned the sale of red sandalwood in 2000.
The 2013 Lion could become the latest leading player to move away from Wales, with Jonathan Davies recently moving to Clermont Auvergne.
Both table-topping Toulon and Saracens have been linked with 29-year-old Evans, who has been capped 30 times.
"It's vital to make the right choice. When the time comes I'm confident I'll make the right decision," said Evans.
"There have been offers from England and France. There is a lot on the table, but it is not really a distraction.
"It is a balancing act. There are obviously issues that you've got to consider and decisions you've got to make.
If I want to play in the last autumn game [against Australia] I am going to have to pull all the stops out
"But I've got a family on the way and first and foremost that is what I am looking after."
Evans' Ospreys team-mate, prop Adam Jones, has said he would consider joining the exodus of Welsh players playing in France.
Lock Luke Charteris and fly-half James Hook are at Perpignan, flanker Dan Lydiate and centre Jamie Roberts are at Racing Metro, while George North left Scarlets for Northampton ahead of the current campaign.
Evans' fellow Ospreys, Wales and Lions lock Alun Wyn Jones is also out of contract at the end of the 2013-14 season and could leave.
The Welsh region's chief executive, Andrew Hore, admitted in August that the region could find it hard to keep hold of some of their Lions stars.
However, Evans has also concerns of a more immediate nature.
The first is to make an impression for Wales, if selected, against Tonga at Millennium Stadium on Friday in the hope that an appearance against Australia at the same venue on 30 November would follow.
But the impending birth of his first child prompted the 6ft 8in, 18st 4lb player to admit if there are signs of a Friday evening labour, he would remove himself from Wales duty.
"I think you would probably see me doing a sharp exit through the tunnel, I think!" he said.
"She [Evans' wife] has been very understanding, to be fair.
"She has been fully supportive in everything I wanted to do, but I don't think I've got a say in this one.
"It's a life-changing experience."
Bradley Davies, Alun Wyn Jones and Luke Charteris have appeared at lock this autumn and Evans says overhauling them in selection would demand an outstanding personal display on Friday.
"To be fair to Brad, Alun Wyn and Luke, all three of them have played extremely well," said Evans.
"If I want to play in the last autumn game I am going to have to pull all the stops out.
"All I can do is have a good game on Friday night and put my hand up and put my name in the hat for [Australia] selection.
"I did full training all of last week and I came through that unscathed, so I am feeling pretty confident.
"It has been very frustrating, but I've got a chance for a game of rugby, which is quite strange at the minute, but one I am looking forward to."
In July, two hackers revealed they had been able to take control of a Jeep Cherokee via its internet-connected entertainment system.
The car firm has been criticised by security experts who say posting a USB stick is "not a good idea".
Fiat Chrysler has not yet commented to the BBC.
"This is not a good idea. Now they're out there, letters like this will be easy to imitate," said Pete Bassill, chief executive of UK firm Hedgehog Security.
"Attackers could send out fake USB sticks and go fishing for victims. It's the equivalent of email users clicking a malicious link or opening a bad attachment.
"There should be a method for validating the authenticity of the USB stick to verify it has really come from Fiat Chrysler before it is plugged in."
He said that using a device like this had wider implications.
"Hackers will be able to pull the data off the USB stick and reverse-engineer it. They'll get an insight into how these cars receive their software updates and may even find new vulnerabilities they can exploit," he told the BBC.
In July, security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek demonstrated that it was possible for hackers to control a Jeep Cherokee remotely, using the car's entertainment system which connected to the mobile data network.
The flaw affected up to 1.4 million vehicles sold in the US.
At the time, Fiat Chrysler issued a voluntary recall so that customers could visit a dealership to have the software updated in affected vehicles. It also made a software update available to download from its website for tech-savvy users.
Fiat Chrysler told technology magazine Wired: "Consumer safety and security is our highest priority. We are committed to improving from this experience and working with the industry and with suppliers to develop best practices to address these risks."
The NW200 received £124,000 from Sport NI to carry out improvements.
More than 200 new bales and 135 kerb protectors have been added and 1.25 miles (two kilometres) of new fencing erected at the course.
A rider was taken to hospital after a crash during a practice session on Tuesday morning, having injured his leg.
Practice sessions for North West 200 are on Tuesday and Thursday morning, ahead of races on Thursday evening and Saturday.
The event has come under fire after a number of accidents in recent years; English rider Malachi Thomas died after a high-speed crash last year.
In 2015, spectator Violet McAfee was critically injured when a bike came off the course and into her front garden as she watched the race.
Speaking later from her hospital bed, she said what had happened would not stop her from attending the "terrific" event.
As well as the extra fences and kerb protectors, 12 sets of amber safety lights have also been deployed around the NW200's 8.9-mile triangular circuit.
The lights are used to give riders an early warning of any incidents during practice or racing.
"The extra funding we have received has allowed us to make significant safety improvements for both riders and spectators," said event director, Mervyn Whyte.
"As race organisers our top priority is to try to make the racing as safe as possible.
"The new equipment we have purchased is another huge step in that process and we are very grateful for the support we have received."
The extra funding was announced last October by the then Communities Minister Paul Givan who visited the course to see the improvements.
"We have seen the new equipment and it is another step forward for the event in terms of safety," he said.
"We want to try to make this great event safer for everyone involved and even more spectacular than it already is."
He was accompanied by Ian Paisley, the DUP MP for North Antrim.
"Safety is critical in road racing and these measures enhance the safety precautions that are already made by Mervyn Whyte and his team at the North West 200," said Mr Paisley.
"The new bales and kerb protectors will give riders the best possible protection and the lights will provide them with early warning in a sport where the margins are so fine."
Stuart Gardner, who works for West Midlands Ambulance Service, had criticised care at Worcester Royal Hospital A&E unit.
He was banned by the hospital trust, which said his comments had upset staff.
It has since backed down and offered Mr Gardner an apology.
"Unison and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have agreed that the Trust does not have the authority to exclude an individual paramedic from its premises and the paramedic has received an apology for the suggestion that he should be excluded," the union and hospital trust said in a joint statement.
Two weeks ago Mr Gardner told the BBC he had seen patients being treated in corridors at the Worcester Royal Hospital and said conditions were the worst he had seen in his 26-year experience.
He said he had not criticised doctors or nurses but wanted to "raise concerns" about the location of treatment.
"I was highlighting that issue and saying [patients] should have been on the wards," he said.
Mr Gardner said he had been informed by the chief operating officer of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust that he was "not welcome" on either of its two sites.
At the time, Unison had said it was considering legal action. It said it welcomed the latest decision by the hospital trust.
The two organisations said, like other parts of the country, hospitals in Worcestershire had seen high levels of demand in A&E in recent weeks.
X Factor winner Matt Terry entered the UK singles chart at number three with his song When Christmas Comes Around. He'll be hoping the tune can climb up the charts to reach the number one slot on Friday.
The current number one single is Clean Bandit's Rockabye. They've been at the top of the charts for a huge six weeks and will be hoping to hold on for a seventh week.
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson will be hoping to climb the charts with his song Just Hold On, with DJ Steve Aoki. It's currently in the number two slot, so he hasn't got far to go.
This song is a tribute to the politician Jo Cox, who died earlier this year. Lots of Jo Cox's friends and supporters have taken part in the single, which will raise money for a charity set up in Jo's memory.
Asked after Monday's 239-run win over South Africa at The Oval if he had any "issues or worries" over who might partner Cook in the first Test at Brisbane in November, Bayliss told BBC Sport: "It could be two or three guys.
"When we go to Australia, we'll probably take more than a couple of openers, so it could be a number of those guys get a look-in."
Jennings averages 15.3 in his last six Test innings, despite making 48 in the second innings against the Proteas, whose former skipper Graeme Smith has said that an Ashes series down under might be "quite a scary place" for the Durham batsman.
The left-hander has, however, retained his place in an unchanged squad for the fourth Test against South Africa at Old Trafford.
Middlesex fast bowler Steven Finn will remain with the squad after replacing the injured Mark Wood on the eve of the third Test. Spinner Liam Dawson makes up the 13.
Two of England's three debutants at The Oval earned Bayliss's praise, with Tom Westley making 25 and 59 at number three, while seamer Toby Roland-Jones finished with match figures of 8-129, also hitting three sixes in batting cameos of 25 and 23 not out.
"Eight wickets and runs, averaging 48, he probably thinks Test cricket is an easy game. They were good conditions, but you've got to be able to put the ball in the right area," Bayliss said of Roland-Jones.
"Tom Westley had a good mental approach to the game, didn't look flustered and struck the ball nicely. Again, we've seen that before, let's hope we're talking the same in 10, 15 or 20 Tests."
Westley and fellow debutant Dawid Malan, who made one and 10 at The Oval, are among a number of specialist batsmen who have been tried since England surrendered the Ashes in 2013-14 - with Sam Robson, Adam Lyth, Alex Hales, James Vince, Ben Duckett and Haseeb Hameed all tried and discarded since then.
Bayliss added: "As everyone's aware, we've been looking for two or three batters, and we think we've found a few guys, but it's about putting those performances together in a consistent manner, rather than just once or twice and then falling away.
"It's about working out what's needed at this level and then coming back stronger."
Meanwhile, captain Joe Root praised spinner Moeen Ali, who took the 43rd hat-trick in Test cricket history - and the first when all three victims have been left-handers - to wrap up victory by mid-afternoon.
"It was a special way to finish, quite a fitting way to finish the 100th Test, here, and summed up a really good week for us," Root said.
"There was a bit of rough there, but on a wicket not offering a lot of spin, Moeen showed a lot of skill and nous to have an effect on a wicket which was getting better and better as the game went on."
There had been plenty of media comment after Bayliss said Moeen was the side's "second spinner", even after his 10-wicket haul in the first Test at Lord's, but he thrived at The Oval after fellow spinner Liam Dawson was dropped.
And Root added: "We've always seen him as a batter in our team, he's a vital part of our batting line-up. But this should give him a lot of confidence that when we need to take wickets in the fourth innings of a Test match, he's able to do it."
Moeen - who revealed it was his first hat-trick in any form of cricket - said: "Personally, I always enjoyed having another spinner bowling in tandem as it does take a bit of pressure off.
"But I've got 40 Tests under my belt now. As long as we're winning, that's the most important thing.
"I've scored a few hat-tricks in football, but this is a different sort of feeling."
Reflecting on the hat-trick ball, he added: "I was trying to stay as relaxed as much as I can - Broady told me this was the best opportunity I'd ever get with a left-hander, Morne Morkel, at number 11, so I just tried to hold my composure and bowl as straight as I could."

He says these "push the boundaries of what is legal".
Pascal Saint-Amans, who runs the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy, said that new standards would require companies to pay more tax in the countries where they sold goods or created revenues.
He also said companies should not use tax havens to shelter their profits.
Mr Saint-Amans' intervention comes after years of complicated negotiations and endless summits on reforming the toxic issue of where large multi-national companies pay their taxes.
He revealed that there should be international agreement on new tax laws ready for the G20 summit of global leaders in November.
The implementation phase should then mean the rules are in place "well before" 2020.
And, according to Mr Saint-Amans, that should mean technology companies such as Facebook, Apple and Google paying more tax to the UK Treasury.
They will also be required to pay more tax in a number of other countries and publish, country-by-country, how much they pay.
The UK has already agreed new rules on the taxation of multi-nationals - called the "diverted profits tax".
The government predicts that companies such as Google - operating in the UK but paying tax in other jurisdictions - will already be obliged to pay hundreds of millions of pounds more tax in Britain.
Mr Saint-Amans agrees, and says that the UK rules will have to be "co-ordinated" with the OECD agreements.
In his interview, Mr Saint-Amans is clear on what he thinks about technology giants which move profits around the world to gain preferable tax rates.
"Most of these companies have been extremely aggressive, pushing the boundaries of what is legal," he said.
"They have tried schemes that cannot resist further examination by tax administrations.
"My advice would be instead of focusing on tax planning, please do the wonderful job you are doing on innovation and be much more conservative on tax planning.
"They have been extremely aggressive and that may have sounded unfair to the audience - that you have giants making billions in profits and not paying taxes where they operate."
The technology companies that have been targeted by tax campaigners say that they follow all the rules laid down by governments.
What is obvious is that the modern world of global digital companies has left national tax systems struggling.
Although much of the revenue for these firms may be created in a country such as the UK, the intellectual property (the profitable bit) is actually based elsewhere, often the US, and the "sales" undertaken in a more favourable tax location such as Ireland, the Netherlands or Luxembourg.
That leaves the national "marketplace" without much tax to collect.
"The marketplaces should have something," Mr Saint- Amans said. "They have been left with hardly anything. I think it is changing through the project we are conducting.
"[We will be asking multi-nationals] where is your turnover, where are your profits, where are your employees, where do you pay your taxes? This information will be collected by all the countries - that is a game changer."
The technology companies say that it is for governments to decide how they tax businesses, not them, and that they have not broken tax rules.
That is an opinion Mr Saint-Amans has some sympathy with.
I ask him whether the problem has actually been created by the policymakers rather than the companies themselves.
"You are 100% right," he replied. "The blame should be put on governments which have over the past 20 years let the rules shift away from what should have been achieved.
"We didn't update the rules. We unfortunately needed a crisis to have this wake-up call to say we need to change because it is outdated.
"Now, governments have decided to move. It shows that when you have political support you can achieve technical changes."
The rules were originally put in place in the 1920s to stop "double taxation" of companies operating in different countries and encourage businesses to invest internationally.
"We have moved from a world where we were so good at eliminating double taxation with tax treaties and transfer pricing rules that we have facilitated double non-taxation.
"You have rules, they are bilateral, but businesses are global. And of course they can play on the differences between the sovereignties, or the gaps. And where are the gaps? In tax havens.
"So what we need to do is fix the rules and develop better co-operation. And if we do that we put an end to double non-taxation.
"[But] we need to be balanced. Double taxation is bad [and] multiple taxation is worse because that will harm cross-border investment. And that is what we need, for growth and for employment."
The OECD says that tax competition to encourage investment is fine. Smaller countries such as Ireland and larger countries such as the UK, with low corporation tax rates, have used it to their advantage.
"The problem we face today is not the low rate in Ireland, or the low rate in the UK," Mr Saint-Amans said.
"It is the fact that you have $2trn of accumulated profit of US companies located where? In Bermuda or the Cayman Islands - there is no activity there."
And that has to stop?
"Absolutely."
These were the worst civil disturbances in England since 1919, according to contemporary historian Lord Hennessy, and had no parallel, in scale, until the riots last summer.
While there are many differences, the similarities between the riots of 1981 and 2011 are "uncanny", he says.
The then prime minister's personal file on the riots reveals she was warned in April that "spontaneous disorder" was "likely" among the country's ethnic minority communities by a secret Home Office report.
Britain was in recession. Unemployment was high, especially among the young, and among Britain's black and Asian population.
There was also considerable tension between police and some communities. There had been fierce riots in Brixton, south London, that month lasting several days.
TV news had shown police officers in their everyday helmets and uniforms, cowering behind flimsy-looking riot shields as bricks and bottles were hurled at them.
That happened again, as riots broke out in Toxteth, Liverpool, on 3 July, before erupting in other English cities.
Like last summer, police struggled to keep control of the streets and mass media were blamed for encouraging copy-cat rioting. But in 1981 the disorder took place mostly in the deprived inner city, rather than spreading to the suburbs.
The file gives an unusually detailed picture of how Mrs Thatcher responded, according to Lord Hennessy. He describes it as "almost blow by blow, minute by minute".
For instance, on 11 July, in the morning, she talked to her Home Secretary Willie Whitelaw.
He had just visited Manchester and Liverpool and reported that there was now "widespread anxiety" about civil unrest in London, and properties were being boarded up across the city.
There had been reports of disorder in many parts of the capital. Just the night before, according to the file, there had been rioting in Brixton, Battersea, Clapham, Streatham, Hackney and Acton.
Cars had been burned in Southall, and petrol bombs thrown in Dalston. Stoke Newington police station had been attacked.
Mrs Thatcher and Mr Whitelaw discussed how to get better equipment for the police, and briefly touched on the idea of sending in troops - something a Liverpool MP had called for.
They agreed that using the Army "could not be contemplated". They would prefer to arm the police, the record notes.
That very evening Mrs Thatcher visited the Metropolitan Police and spent more than seven hours with the commissioner, only leaving New Scotland Yard at three in the morning.
The police had appealed for a new Riot Act and they had also given her a shopping list of riot gear - shields, protective clothing, water cannon, CS gas, rubber bullets and surveillance helicopters.
New tactics, new equipment, "saturating" the cities with police, ended the riots.
"An age of innocence" had ended, according to Lord Hennessy. "People thought riots couldn't happen here - but they did."
The police got their equipment but they didn't get the new law immediately - it was only in 1986 that a new Public Order Act was passed.
Is there any lesson for today's politicians?
Lord Hennessy says while there is a great danger of excessive prime ministerial power in this country, in such circumstances "the prime minister has to speak out, to take a lead" as Mrs Thatcher did.
Protesters gathered outside parliament, where opposition MPs have been holding a sit-in since Friday.
Government supporters also held a demonstration in Warsaw.
Polish President Andrzej Duda, who is aligned with the governing party but has offered to mediate, held meetings with opposition party leaders.
A spokesman for Mr Duda said the president began talks on Sunday in the hope of easing the escalating tensions.
On Saturday, journalists met the speaker of the upper house of parliament to discuss the new rules.
Although no breakthrough was made at the talks, there were signs that a compromise deal may be reached after another meeting was scheduled for Monday.
Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, in a televised address, has said the blockade on parliament in protest at the new rules by opposition MPs was "scandalous".
She said people were free to protest, but had to respect the views of others.
Opposition MPs say the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party is trying to stifle press freedom with its plans to limit the number of reporters allowed to cover parliament.
As well as the number of journalists permitted to enter the parliament building being restricted, only five selected Polish TV stations will be allowed to record or broadcast parliamentary sessions.
The government said it did not believe that the measures were restrictive.
The opposition is also challenging last Friday's vote on next year's budget held by pro-government MPs in a smaller hall - not the main chamber - and excluding the press.
It was the first time since the restoration of democracy in 1989 that such a vote was held outside the main chamber of parliament.
Some opposition supporters have also marched outside the Constitutional Court, showing appreciation of its work.
The PiS has been trying to curtail its powers, drawing criticism from Poland's European Union partners.

The team are finalising a split from engine partner Renault but have been unable to secure a replacement on terms that satisfy them.
Mercedes have refused to supply them and Ferrari will not sell them their definitive 2016 engines next year.
Ferrari are offering 2015 engines but Red Bull want parity of performance.
Owner Dietrich Mateschitz has said he will pull the team out of the sport if they do not get it.
But Ferrari's position is that at this late stage they do not have the logistical or technical capacity to give 2016 engines to Red Bull in addition to their other two customers, Sauber and the new Haas team.
F1 insiders have raised the possibility of Red Bull carrying on with Renault despite everything - their existing deal has not been completely terminated and it runs to the end of 2017.
But the two parties have fallen out following the collapse of trust on both sides, and reviving their relationship would be difficult.
Renault are also in the final stages of completing a takeover of the Lotus team and returning as a full factory entrant.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and motorsport adviser Helmut Marko held a long meeting with Ecclestone on Friday morning at the Russian Grand Prix to discuss the situation.

Ecclestone then immediately went to talk to Mercedes, continuing his push to persuade the world champions to supply Red Bull.
Horner said: "There are lots of discussions going on, but nothing is concluded, nothing is confirmed.
"Bernie has influence. He is a promoter, he wants Red Bull to be there - all the teams, Lotus included. He has been very helpful in trying to navigate a way through these issues."
Ecclestone said the situation was "sorted" but Horner suggested that was not the case when he commented: "The great thing about Bernie is he seems to know a lot more than the rest of us. If he knows it's all sorted, that's all fine then."
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has made it clear the company is not interested in supplying Red Bull.
Wolff told BBC Sport: "The situation hasn't changed - we have decided not to pursue that option."
And he ruled out supplying a 2015-spec engine to Red Bull next season, saying Mercedes were "not set up" to do so.
If Red Bull were to pull out of F1, both the senior team and junior outfit Toro Rosso would leave.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who won his four world titles with Red Bull, said a withdrawal would be "a huge shock".
"Red Bull has been part of F1 for 10 years and has supported it ever since," the German said.
"Of course, I have strong links to Red Bull and I know the team like the back of my hand. This is why I struggle to imagine them to pull out. I hope they will stay in the sport."

In a blog, the US-based firm said the accounts "primarily related to ISIS" (the so-called Islamic State group).
"We condemn the use of Twitter to promote terrorism," it said, adding that it had increased its report reviewing teams to react faster.
Twitter has more than 500 million users around the world.
"We have already seen results, including an increase in account suspensions and this type of activity shifting off of Twitter," the company said.
It added that it was co-operating with law enforcement bodies "when appropriate" as well as other organisations.
Governments around the world - including the US - have been urging social media companies to take more robust measure to tackle online activity aimed at promoting violence.
The negative way of looking at this situation is that Twitter's problem with terrorism-related posts is a lot worse than we thought.
A study towards the tail-end of 2014 estimated that around 46,000 accounts had been used to post extremist material, and so in just over a year that number has rocketed.
But of course, the positive way of looking at it is that Twitter is seemingly on top of the issue and taking it seriously. It's doing what it can to make sure the public knows this, at a time when many in government are hitting Silicon Valley companies with large doses of "surely something can be done" rhetoric.
The big question is what happens next. Terrorists will carry on making more accounts, as well as migrating to other platforms.
And questions will be raised about the removal process. Who decides? Who's keeping watch? The definition and perpetrators of terrorism can change depending on your geography and political views.
Twitter will now be asked: why not fascist tweets? Or anti-Israel? Anti-Palestine? Anti-women? Anti-[insert cause here]?
In December, US politicians put forward a bill that would force such companies - including Twitter and Facebook - to report any apparent terrorist activity they find.
EU officials have also been calling for talks with major social media firms to discuss the issue.
In March, Facebook revamped its "community standards" to include a separate section on "dangerous organisations".
It said it would ban groups promoting "terrorist activity, organised criminal activity or promoting hate."
The timings are to do with the year 1875, when Rovers were formed.
Blackburn's Indian owners Venky's, run by the Rao family, took over in 2010 but have seen debts rise to £104.2m.
"We respect the fans' right to protest," Rovers director Mike Cheston told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We will, as we always have, facilitate a peaceful protest. We want the fans to really get behind and support the team in a game that we desperately want to win."
BBC Radio Lancashire and other press were not allowed to ask boss Owen Coyle about the protest on Thursday.
Local businessmen Ian Battersby and Ian Currie were reported to have made an investment proposal through their company Seneca Partners in May, but Venky's denied receiving a bid and said they were committed to the club.
Blackburn are 22nd in the Championship with 12 points from 14 games so far this season.

Only a small group of people were lucky enough to see the huge beast - called Humpback - in Lakeland, Florida.
Wildlife experts have estimated the alligator weighs about than 360kg and is up to 15 feet long - that's as long as a family estate car!
In the video it is seen tootling across the walking path - before slipping back into the swamp at the US nature reserve.
Mrs Cameron is following in the footsteps of another prime ministerial spouse, Sarah Brown, in appearing in a Sport Relief edition of the show.
Other contestants in the show include former Labour MP Ed Balls.
Mr Cameron told the Stylist magazine that he would "rather fight an election than make pastry from scratch".
The prime minister said he was a fan of the show and watched it with his daughter Nancy when his official duties allowed.
"We backed Nadiya (Hussain) to win in the last series. We're hoping our support will have the same effect on Sam when she appears on The Great Sport Relief Bake Off in March.
"I don't envy her. I'd rather fight an election than make pastry from scratch."
Mrs Cameron is one of 16 high-profile figures taking part in The Great Sport Relief Bake Off to raise money for charity.
Speculation has been rife about a world record £100m transfer from Juventus, but BBC Sport has been told no moves have yet been made.
United have not had any discussions with Juventus.
Furthermore Pogba, 23, is on Euro 2016 duty with France and does not want anything to distract his preparations for Sunday's final against Portugal.
Juventus have refused to comment on the speculation around the player, whose contract runs to 2019.
The Italian champions have not given up hope of persuading Pogba, who has won four Serie A titles with the Turin club, to sign an extension.
It has been claimed that Champions League winners Real Madrid are his preferred destination.
Pogba spent three years at Manchester United, but made just seven appearances before moving to Italy in 2012.
At the time, manager Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with the player's agent - Mino Raiola - had broken down.
But the Italian has already helped broker the moves of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to United this summer.

Farah, ill or injured for much of the summer, came good in his second track race of the season to match his team-mate Jo Pavey's distance gold.
In a slow race a large lead group went through halfway in 14 minutes nine seconds, and with four laps to go seven athletes were in theoretical contention.
Farah went to the front with 600m to go and opened out as always at the bell, but only in the final 60m did he get rid of Turkey's Ali Kaya before Vernon's late surge.
The winning time of 28 minutes 8.12 seconds was less relevant than the salvaging of something from a crisis-ridden season.
Farah now has five European golds, one more than Colin Jackson and Steve Backley, and nine medals in major championships - a tally that out-strips Daley Thompson, Jonathan Edwards and Linford Christie.
The 31-year-old double world and Olympic champion will have the chance to win another gold in the 5,000m on Sunday.
"I was really ill a few weeks ago but training has gone well," said Farah. "Winning the European Championships again really does mean a lot to me.
"I didn't want to let people down after missing the Commonwealth Games - it hasn't been easy.
"I won the 5,000m and 10,000m double in Barcelona in 2010 and I won one title in Helsinki two years ago. Now I'm excited for the 5,000m and I hope to run well again."
For the 28-year-old Vernon too this was rich reward for a season that began well before looking like it might be wrecked by injury.
His late dash for silver, overtaking Kaya on the line, brought back memories of Chris Thompson's own silver behind Farah in Barcelona four years ago.
Farah has endured his own troubled year, his first serious problems since his distance double at the Europeans of 2010 launched him into three seasons of world-beating brilliance.
In that time he has won two Olympic golds, three World titles and another European silver, but since his much anticipated marathon debut in London last April ended with a disappointing eighth place he has failed to make a single start-line.
Last month he was airlifted to hospital after collapsing on a training run, and he pulled out of the Commonwealths in Glasgow on the first morning of competition citing fitness concerns.
But the distance running standards at these Europeans are not as high, and with another three weeks of training at altitude in the Pyrenees in his legs Farah - with a personal best a full 45 seconds faster than anyone else in the field - was too good for his continental rivals.
Farah received a celebratory hug from Jamaican star Usain Bolt and did a lap of honour in the drizzle with team-mate Vernon.
"This medal, it is a lot of work, months and years," said Vernon. "You've got to get up on all those cold and rainy mornings for training. It takes a lot of motivation.
"When I woke up this morning I knew that I had a chance on medalling. In such a race everything has to be perfect in order to get a medal."
A Heriot-Watt University team said they had made a breakthrough in developing clean and cheap methods to maximise extraction from existing fields.
The university has been working on a technique known as low-salinity water injection.
The team has been researching which fields would benefit most from it.
Researchers have also been developing gas injection technologies for use in reservoirs that are already flooded with water.
Professor Mehran Sohrabi, director of the university's centre for enhanced oil recovery, believes new technologies could be a game changer for the industry and has called for more investment to reverse the decline in North Sea production.
He said: "At least half of the original oil still remains in the North Sea reservoirs but there are great challenges in extracting it using enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques.
"These include limited platform space and large well spacing, making extraction too expensive to pursue.
"Following years of research at the university, we now believe we can overcome these challenges."
Low-salinity water injection works by reducing the salt levels in sea water that is already injected into reservoirs.
Mr Sohrabi said: "It has the potential to make a huge impact on the current output of the North Sea's oil production.
"We have developed a robust method to screen oil reservoirs to identify the ones that would respond positively to low salinity water injection.
"This allows us to estimate the size of incremental oil recovery, which is vital for economic calculations of enhanced oil recovery projects."

Williams beats Kerber to win 22nd Grand Slam
Striker Goodwillie, who has been on loan to Ross County, and goalkeeper Scott Brown have been released along with defender Michael Rose.
Church, who scored six goals in 13 outings, and goalkeeper Adam Collin return to parent clubs Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United respectively.
Midfielder Barry Robson already announced his retirement, aged 37.
But Australian goalkeeper Aaron Lennox, who made his debut as Robson made his final appearance in Sunday's 4-0 defeat by Ross County, has signed a one-year contract to remain with the Dons.
Manager Derek McInnes admitted after the game that he "would like to get more options in forward areas, another goalkeeper and another defender - and maybe one or two others" as he re-shapes his squad for next season.
Goodwillie had left for Aberdeen's Premiership rivals in February to make way for the arrival of fellow 27-year-old Church.
His Pittodrie exit is the latest setback in the career of Goodwillie, who commanded a fee of more than £2m when he was transferred to Blackburn Rovers from Dundee United in 2011.
The Scot, who has won three caps for his country, failed to recapture his form in Dingwall, where he only started four times and had a further five appearances from the substitutes' bench, scoring once.
Brown, who signed after leaving Cheltenham in 2014, has played 13 times since Danny Ward was recalled from his loan spell by Liverpool in January.
He had found himself preferred to fellow 31-year-old Englishman Collin, who only played three times during his loan spell.
The 20-year-old Rose played seven times on loan to Forfar Athletic in League One before lasting 45 minutes of his debut in a 3-0 defeat by St Johnstone in April.
Meanwhile, four members of the under-20s squad have left the club - striker Kalvin Orsi and defenders Lukas Culjak, Sam Robertson and Liam Lambert.
Amnesty International said the military used live ammunition and deadly force against pro-Biafra protesters who were campaigning for an independent state in the south-east.
Nigeria's police denies allegations that it used unnecessary force.
The country's army said Amnesty was trying to tarnish its reputation.
Amnesty's report is based on interviews with almost 200 people, alongside more than 100 photographs and 87 videos.
Among the allegations contained in the report are what Amnesty called "extrajudicial executions", when 60 people were shot and killed in south-eastern Onitsha city, in the two days surrounding Biafra Remembrance Day in May 2016.
"This reckless and trigger-happy approach to crowd control has caused at least 150 deaths, and we fear the actual total might be far higher" said Makmid Kamara, Amnesty's interim director for Nigeria.
Other victims detailed in the report include a 26-year-old man who was shot in Nkpor, but hid in a gutter, still alive. He said when soldiers found him, they poured acid over him, and told him he would die slowly.
Another woman said she had been speaking to her husband on a mobile phone when he told her he had been shot in the abdomen. He was calling from a military vehicle, she said, and she heard gunshots. She later found his body in a morgue with two more wounds in his chest, leading her to believe he had been executed after the call.
The human rights organisation said pro-Biafra protests had been "largely peaceful" despite occasional incidents of protesters throwing stones and burning tyres - and one occasion when someone shot at police.
"Regardless, these acts of violence and disorder did not justify the level of force used against the whole assembly."
But army spokesman Sani Usman that "the military and other security agencies exercised maximum restraints despite the flurry of provocative and unjustifiable violence".
The two main secessionist groups in the south-east, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, had committed "unimaginable atrocities", he said.
This included burning and killing people from other parts of Nigeria and forcing them to flee, Col Usman added.
In the past year there has been a series of protests to demand the creation of the state of Biafra in the south-east, home to the Igbo people.
Prominent IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has been detained without trial since October 2015, with the government defying a court order to release him.
Analysis: Martin Patience, BBC News, Lagos
The mention of Biafra continues to trigger powerful emotions in Nigeria - and memories of the country's darkest chapter.
In 1967, nationalists attempted to create the independent state of Biafra in the south-east. It was to be a homeland for the Igbo people, one of the country's largest ethnic groups.
But the bid for independence plunged the nation into a three-year civil war that killed at least a million people.
Almost 50 years on and the bitterness of that period still lingers. Many Igbos claim they are still being punished for the conflict.
In the past year that anger has manifested itself in a younger generation who have staged a wave of protests, fuelled, in part, by high unemployment and anger about official corruption - issues that are hardly unique to the Igbos.
But IPOB appears to have gained momentum after the Nigerian authorities detained Mr Kanu, accusing him of treason.
It is this heavy-handed approach, say human rights groups, that is inflaming the tensions.
The 22-year-old driver was trapped and died at the scene on Clay Lane in Hale, Greater Manchester at about 01:10 BST.
The passengers - two of whom are aged 21 and the other 25 - managed to escape from the car and were taken to hospital.
Greater Manchester Police said they were being treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Officers appealed for witnesses to the crash, involving a Ford Focus, near the junction of Canterbury Road.
The Canadian indie band is the first act announced for the festival, which was under threat of being cancelled.
The band were recommended to the event's organisers by music legend David Bowie. It will be their first UK festival performance since 2014.
The four-day festival at Seaclose Park, Newport will run from 8-11 June.
The band will be following previous Isle of Wight headliners that have included Queen and The Who.
John Giddings, Isle of Wight Festival promoter, said: "I'm so happy to have secured Arcade Fire as our first headliner. David Bowie recommended them and I've been a fan ever since. Last year was incredible and I'm ready for us to come back even better."
Made up of husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne along with Win's brother William Butler, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara, the band will take to the stage on 10 June.
Arcade Fire's music reached number one in the UK charts after the release of their fourth album Reflektor three years ago.
The band also received an Academy award nomination after being featured in the film Her in 2013.
It accused security forces of regularly committing abuses and said rights and liberties in Egypt were being eroded.
Amnesty's report comes two days before the third anniversary of uprising that forced President Hosni Mubarak to quit.
Meanwhile a pro-Morsi student has been killed in clashes with security forces in Alexandria, officials say.
The dead youth was among hundreds of Islamist students involved in street battles with police in the northern city.
The report by the human rights group said some 1,400 people have been killed in political violence since President Morsi was forced from office by the army in July, after weeks of mass protests.
Egypt's foreign ministry described the report as "tarnishing the facts'' and said the government respected human rights while it was "combating terrorism".
And while he did not mention the report, Egypt's military-backed interim President Adly Mansour gave a speech insisting that the Egypt's police state no longer existed.
In his remarks at Cairo's Police Academy, Mr Mansour said Egypt was starting a "new era'' where police "preserve the dignity of the Egyptian citizen'' and "draws a definitive end to the police state, never to return".
Supporters of Mohammed Morsi, who succeeded Mubarak but was himself ousted from power, are expected to use the anniversary to escalate their protests.
'Verdict on the army'
Struggle to motivate the 'sofa party'
Return to authoritarianism?
In the Amnesty report, its Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said: "Egypt has witnessed a series of damaging blows to human rights and state violence on an unprecedented scale over the last seven months.
"Three years on, the demands of the '25th January Revolution' for dignity and human rights seem further away than ever. Several of its architects are behind bars and repression and impunity are the order of the day."
There has been "no proper investigation" into the deaths of more than 500 Morsi supporters when the army forcibly dispersed their sit-in protest in Rabaa al-Adawiya Square last August, the report noted.
"Instead of reining in the security forces, the authorities have effectively handed them a mandate for repression," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui.
"Once again in Egypt, the rhetoric of 'countering terrorism' is being used to justify sweeping crackdowns that fail to distinguish between legitimate dissent and violent attacks."
The report calls for the security forces to be held accountable for human rights violations and urges the authorities to "loosen their stranglehold on civil society and allow peaceful protests and other avenues for lawful dissent".
Egypt's military-installed interim government insists it is committed to democracy; presidential and parliamentary elections are due to be held in the coming months.
But critics fear Egypt is on course for a return to authoritarian rule.
In recent months, liberal activists have been arrested and detained as well as thousands of supporters of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood.
The body of Sebastiano Magnanini, 46, was found tied to a shopping trolley in Regent's Canal, north London last year.
Michael Walsh, 41, and Paul Williams, 64, received four- and two-year sentences after pleading guilty to preventing the lawful burial of a body.
Walsh and Daniel Hastie, 22, who was jailed for 12 months, also admitted conspiracy to commit fraud.
Mr Magnanini, who originally came from Venice, struggled with an addiction to Class A drugs.
He was trying to buy heroin in King's Cross on 22 September when Walsh took him back to his flat, where they took heroin and crack cocaine.
Walsh told the court Mr Magnanini gave him his bank card to obtain cash to buy more drugs.
He and Hastie used it to empty £1,900 from the account by forging the Italian's signature.
On 23 September Walsh returned to the flat to find Mr Magnanini dead, apparently from a drug overdose.
He said he "panicked" and enlisted Williams to help him dispose of the body.
Prosecuting, Emlyn Jones told the court that Mr Magnanini's hands and feet had been tied together in the foetal position to the trolley which was then weighted down with dumbbells.
CCTV footage showed them pushing the trolley towards the canal.
A statement from the victim's brother, read out in court, said it was a "cruel" and "callous" way to get rid of his body, adding that the last few months have been a "nightmare".
It read: "It is horrible to know that someone went to great lengths to conceal his body in the hope it would not be discovered."
Defending Walsh, Leon Kazakos said at the time the decision was taken to move the body Walsh was heavily intoxicated by heroin, alcohol and cocaine. He added: "It is a regret he will carry with him for the rest of his life."
The court heard that Williams has also struggled with drug use and was intoxicated when he agreed to help Walsh.
Police are still investigating the circumstances of the Italian national's death.
The carpenter was jailed for 18 months in 1998 over the theft of a valuable painting from a church in Venice.
An inquest will take place at Camden Coroner's Court on 14 March.
The Dons looked finally on course for their first home league win of the season when they struck twice in six second half minutes.
Daniel Powell and substitute Ryan Colclough eased a night of mounting frustration in front of goal against the Spireites by turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead after 73 minutes.
But defensive frailties enabled Danny Wilson's visitors to clinch their first away league win of the season as Dennis lifted a shot high into the net before fellow replacement Gardner tapped in an 80th minute winner.
Dons dominated possession and chances from the first whistle only to fall behind after goalkeeper David Martin tripped Reece Mitchell. Former Don Jay O'Shea confidently slotted home the 32nd minute penalty.
Lively Kieran Agard smashed a shot against the post as Dons missed a host of chances before the late drama.

A report in January revealed proposed changes that NHS bosses have since said could save £31m.
The 14-week consultation began in March and is to finish at midnight.
A petition against the Huddersfield hospital's closure plan currently has more than 63,000 signatures.
More than 4,300 people have already completed the consultation survey organised by the NHS Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Groups.
Under the proposals all emergency, acute and high-risk planned care would be brought together at Calderdale Royal Hospital in neighbouring Halifax.
A new site in Acre Mills, Huddersfield would be developed as a hospital for planned care - but with no A&E.
The plans would eventually see 612 beds at Calderdale Royal Hospital and 120 at the proposed hospital at Acre Mills.
Several demonstrations against the closure of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary have been staged in the town.
Demolishing the infirmary and relocating emergency services to Calderdale would cost £470m compared with £501m under proposals considered for Huddersfield, said a draft public consultation document.
The proposed changes would "result in the greatest overall benefits" for people living in Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield, according to the CCGs.
The final decision on the plan is expected to be made public in October.
Stephen Crabb told Cardiff Business School he was unhappy at the lack of progress, and that opponents would rather argue about assembly powers.
He said he was "totally open to ideas" about improving the draft Wales Bill.
The Welsh government insisted it was focused on increasing prosperity rather than constitutional change.
In a speech on Thursday he said the UK government was committed to devolving more power.
In a change of approach, the draft Wales bill recommends a reserved powers model, which lists the policy areas still controlled by the UK government with everything else assumed to be devolved.
Opposition figures including First Minister Carwyn Jones have called for more discussion, claiming the plan could leave the assembly with less power than it currently has.
Mr Crabb has denied the charge, and urged politicians to focus more on jobs and prosperity than a "never ending constitutional debate".
He said he had a "dream" of Wales becoming a "beacon of economic success" within the next 20 years.
But he said he sometimes had "a nightmare" of "an ongoing, inward-looking debate about Welsh powers and the constitution, where we still prop up the bottom of the economic league tables within the United Kingdom and where we are still discussing the need for that damn M4 upgrade."
Opposition parties blamed the UK government for holding Wales back.
The Welsh government claimed: "The only constitutional obsessive is Stephen Crabb, who seems to talk about little else at the moment.
"Meanwhile we are concentrating on the things that matter to the people of Wales, such as the economy and increasing prosperity."
Plaid Cymru Treasury spokesman Jonathan Edwards MP said the Welsh economy faced a disadvantage due to "meagre powers" being offered.
"In their lack of ambition for Wales, the Westminster parties are handcuffing the ability of our government to intervene in the Welsh economy," he said.
Liberal Democrat AM Aled Roberts responded on Twitter, saying the next Welsh government "will have years of UK failure to invest in infrastructure to address".
A number of families in Castlefin have also moved out of their homes.
Patients have been moved from the Castelfin surgery to its sister surgery in Lifford.
Dr Martin Coin, the GP for both surgeries, said Storm Desmond "has caused havoc". "We are dealing with an extra 200 patients now in Lifford because of the closure," he saidd
"The car park is crowded every day but we are trying to manage.
"The HSE is trying to get port cabins for us but everything takes time.
"So many things need replaced because of contamination. It will more thank likely be months rather than weeks before we are up and running again.
Stephen Kennedy, from the Castlefin Partnership Initiative, said "people are trying to rebuild their businesses again".
"People are trying to get on with things but it's awful that people have to travel so far to see their GP though.
"A number of families will have to spend Christmas out of their homes. They had up to 3ft of water inside their houses.
"Some people have gone to stay with family. Others have moved in to rented accommodation.
"The CPI centre had flooding issues before. We were working on that but Storm Desmond disrupted things.
"The surge of water was unbelievable."
The Health and Safety Executive said the Castlefin centre was flooded on Sunday 15 November and subsequently flooded again on 5 December.
It said the suitability of alternative accommodation was being assessed, with a "view to agreeing on the most appropriate interim accommodation".
"It is anticipated that the primary care centre will be reinstated within a time frame of five to six months provided there are no unforeseen difficulties that would delay the re-occupation of the property."
The 518 mixed copper coins, found near Leominster, had been placed in cloth bags and hidden in the ground in a leather satchel.
Experts believe the coins were deliberately buried because of unrest or fear of robbery.
The British Museum said it was very rare to find hoards so well-preserved.
The hoard was found in July 2013 by paramedics and metal detector enthusiasts Jeremy Daw and Martin Fulloway.
The news of the find has only just been made public by the British Museum.
Mr Fulloway said: "We thought it might be a horse shoe or something rubbish.
"As we were digging down through the soil with our hands, I spotted Jeremy had a handful of Roman coins.
"I said, 'Stop. I think we've got a hoard.'"
Mr Fulloway said four of the coins were stuck to a stone, while others were in the loose soil.
"It's not quite the Staffordshire hoard but for Herefordshire it's nice. For me to have my first Roman hoard, it's a dream come true."
Mr Daw said the coins were possibly buried during a time of unrest in the Roman empire.
"It's been in the ground for 1,700 years and we are the first people to touch it," he said.
"We looked at each other and punched the air."
The earth was x-rayed at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and then examined by the British Museum.
The coins range from from AD 260 to circa 290 and include eight coins of the Britannic Empire.
The hoard was declared treasure trove in June by the Hereford coroner and will now be valued by the British Museum.
The value will then be shared with the two finders, landowner and Hereford and Leominster Museum.
Peter Reavill, a finds officer for the British Museum, said: "This is one of the best-preserved coin hoards I have seen."
He said he hoped funds would be raised to keep the collection in the county.
He said the Lords should amend a bill to protect the rights of EU citizens to ensure a "meaningful" vote on the final deal before Britain leaves the EU.
He urged fellow Labour peers to show "strength and clarity" over the issue.
Conservative Justice Secretary Liz Truss said Brexit opponents were "fighting yesterday's battles".
The House of Lords - in which the government does not have an in-built majority - will start considering proposed legislation to leave the EU on Monday.
But the former Labour cabinet minister, EU Trade commissioner and Remain campaigner said the "verbal guarantees" the government were offering EU citizens in the UK were insufficient.
Lord Mandelson told the Andrew Marr programme that the Lords should "reinstate" the protections into the bill in the coming weeks.
"The government used its majority to bulldoze the legislation through the House of Commons," he said. "I hope it won't be so successful in the House of Lords," he said.
"At the end of the day the House of Commons, because it is the elected chamber, will prevail but I hope the House of Lords will not throw in the towel early."
But Ms Truss said leaving the EU was the "settled will" of the British people and the House of Lords needed to "get on" with the process.
She told Andrew Marr that once the UK formally notified the EU of its intention to leave by triggering Article 50, she believed the process was "irrevocable".
Earlier this month, MPs overwhelmingly backed a bill to empower Theresa May to begin the Brexit process. The PM wants to do this by the end of March but needs the approval of both Houses of Parliament first.
MPs rejected calls for the status of EU citizens living in the UK and a parliamentary vote on the final terms of exit to be explicitly guaranteed in the bill - although ministers have conceded the Commons will have its say and it fully expects citizens of other EU countries to be able to stay in the UK after Brexit pending negotiations.
Lord Mandelson also said some Leave voters who were having second thoughts at the government's "Brexit at all costs strategy" needed to have their voice heard.
But Ms Truss said Lord Mandelson was speaking as if the referendum "never happened".
She told Andrew Marr that the House of Commons had "conclusively" voted to trigger Article 50, with the majority of Labour MPs backing the government.
"The fact is it is a simple bill on whether we trigger Article 50," she said.
"The British people have voted for that and was clear in the referendum.
"The House of Lords now needs to get on with it. I fully expect the House of Lords will recognise the will of the people and the House of Commons."
Although she voted to remain in the EU last year, Ms Truss said there was now a "new reality" and if a similar vote was held in the future, she would vote to leave.
Tory backbencher Dominic Raab warned the Lords would face a backlash if it tried to hold up the Brexit process.
"Voters will not look kindly on unelected politicians seeking to obstruct both the result of the referendum, and the vote of their elected representatives in the House of Commons earlier this month," he said.

His remarks follow a protest in Cairo after a taxi driver was shot dead by a policeman during a dispute over a fare.
The case was the latest of many alleged cases of police brutality in Egypt.
The protesters gathered outside the Cairo security directorate on Thursday night and chanted "the interior ministry are thugs".
The interior ministry had announced earlier that the policeman, who was badly beaten by a crowd after the killing, had been arrested in hospital.
A statement from Mr Sisi's office said he had told Interior Minister Magdy Abdel Gaffar that abuses were carried out by a "number of policemen" and "must be stopped".
President Sisi said changes to the laws to allow for harsher penalties for police officers would be made within 15 days.
The Egyptian leader has every reason to worry about pubic unrest over police excesses, which were among the factors that led to the revolution of 2011, says the BBC's Cairo Correspondent Orla Guerin.
Net profits for the three months to June were €245m (£174m), up from €197m a year earlier, it said.
Revenues in the quarter grew by 10% to €1.5bn.
The carrier now expects profit for the year to March 2016 to be at the upper end of its forecast of between €940m and €970m issued in May.
However, Ryanair added: "We caution... that this guidance, which is 12% ahead of last year's profit, is heavily reliant on the final outturn of H2 fares over which we currently have almost zero visibility."
In May, Ryanair reported a 66% rise in net profit €867m (£614m) saying its customer experience improvement programme "Always Getting Better" had attracted millions of new customers to Ryanair. Falling oil prices also cut the airline's costs.
Earlier this month, Ryanair accepted an offer from International Airlines Group (IAG) for its 29.8% stake in Aer Lingus.
The low-cost airline said its board had voted to accept the deal, saying the IAG offer, "maximises Ryanair shareholder value".
He is suspected of being the man behind the alias Paunch - the nickname used by the creator of the Blackhole and Cool exploit kits, sold to cybercriminals to infect web users with malware.
The Russian authorities have not confirmed the details.
But security firms said they had already detected a decline in the programs' use.
A spokesman for the law enforcement agency Europol told the BBC: "Europol and the European Cybercrime Centre has been informed that a high-level suspected cyber criminal has been arrested.
"We can only refer you to the Russian authorities, they are the ones who should speak about this topic."
The Russian police's press office said it had nothing to add at this time.
However, Alexander Gostev, chief security expert at the Moscow-based internet protection provider Kaspersky Lab, said the arrest had been confirmed to him by "anonymous sources".
The Blackhole kit, released in 2010, dominated the crimeware market throughout 2012 and the start of 2013, according to Fraser Howard, a researcher at the anti-virus company Sophos.
He said the code had been sold for an annual licence of $1,500 (£940) or could be rented from its creator for $200 (£125) for one week's use, among other price plans.
The software targeted a range of vulnerabilities in the Java programming language, Adobe's Flash media player, Windows software and PDF files.
It had two ways of doing this:
Among the malware downloaded was:
Although Mr Howard said Blackhole was once the biggest threat of its kind, he added that in recent months it had been overshadowed by rival kits, including Sweet Orange and Neutrino.
According to the researcher, the Blackhole and Cool kits put together were only involved in about 4% of all malware detected by Sophos in August, down from 28% the previous year.
The figure had since dropped to 2% in recent days, he added.
Another independent security blogger stressed that the arrest was still significant.
"If it's true that the brains behind the Blackhole has been apprehended it's a very big deal - a real coup for the cybercrime-fighting authorities, and hopefully cause disruption to the development of one of the most notorious exploit kits the web has ever seen," said Graham Cluley.
"However, it's worth remembering that nature abhors a vacuum, and there would surely be other online criminals waiting to take their place, promoting their alternative exploit kits and malicious code."
Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure, agreed.
"If indeed it is Paunch that they arrested, that is a major arrest - he is a big deal," he told the BBC.
"He was clearly the biggest player in providing exploit kits - not just by selling them, but also renting and leasing them to online criminals.
"Both Blackhole and its successor Cool have been very popular.
"Users didn't have to be very technical to operate them - there was a manual that came with them - they just had to get them running and be able to break into a high-profile website, or create a new one from scratch, to install something bad on your computer."
Rosemary Penn said her pony was killed in a field at her home in Bodmin in December 2006. Police have confirmed they investigated the killing.
But although the injuries inflicted on both animals were similar, police are not linking the two incidents.
Mrs Penn said: "I have terrible memories."
She added: "In fact the description of what happened is identical to what happened to my Shetland gelding.
"He was extremely nervous and very hard to catch. I don't know how they managed to do it but it certainly wasn't one person."
Mrs Penn admitted hearing about the killing of the two-year-old stallion, named Erik, in Stithians on Monday made her anxious.
"I am still nervous. We've had all the wrong weather, in the sense we have had clear nights. My dogs have been going out at all hours of the night barking and they never do that.
"I am still furious. The Shetland I rescued, I was the only person he trusted. That's why it was even more shocking that they managed to get hold of him."
There has been speculation that the killing at Stithians may have been linked to a Satanic ritual.
Mrs Penn said: "I was led to believe there are cults and they made sacrifices on specific days."
Some internet forums have contained speculation that the most recent killing coincided with St Winebald Day on 7 January, which is said to have been included on Satanic calendars as a date for blood rituals.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall police said: "We're keeping an open mind with many lines of inquiry as to what happened. There is nothing specific to suggest that this is the case, there are no facts, it's speculation.
"It was a savage attack on or near a date, but there is nothing to suggest that it is things like a Satanic worship attack."
The RSPCA's spokesperson for the region, Jo Barr, said: "It's impossible to know at the moment what the motivation was behind the attack.
"I have been with the RSPCA for eight years. In my time I am only aware of one incident which was potentially linked.
"There were a couple of attacks on Dartmoor on sheep. There were suggestions that the bodies were left in a formation, I believe it was a pentangle, it was suggested it was linked to Satanic practices or witchcraft."
The famous energy drink slogan has been found to be false after a US lawsuit and the company has agreed to compensate customers who bought it in America between 2002 and 2014.
Legal papers specify that no proof of purchase is necessary.
Anyone in the US who bought at least one can, in the last 12 years, could be entitled $10 (£6.17) cash or $15 (£9.26) worth of Red Bull goods.
The false ad lawsuit all started in 2013 by a US consumer, Benjamin Careathers, who believed the company's slogan "Red Bull gives you wings" is dishonest.
He argued the slogan clearly doesn't mean the drink will give you wings but it is generally understood the drink should give a higher energy boost than an average cup of coffee.
But when Careathers found Red Bull had less caffeine than a cup of coffee, he felt there were grounds for a lawsuit.
According to the Red Bull website, One 250ml (8.4 oz) can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, which is about 80mg.
At hearing a back in August, a judge agreed with him: "Such deceptive conduct and practices mean that [Red Bull's] advertising and marketing is not just 'puffery,' but it instead deceptive and fraudulent and it therefore actionable," the lawsuit stated.
"Even though there is a lack of genuine scientific support for a claim that Red Bull branded energy drinks provide any more benefit to a consumer than a cup of coffee, the Red Bull defendants persistently and pervasively market their product as a superior source of 'energy' worthy of a premium price over a cup of coffee or other sources of caffeine," it continued.
However, Red Bull admits no wrongdoing.
It issued this statement to Bevnet, which is a magazine and website aimed at the beverage industry: "Red Bull settled the lawsuit to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation.
"However, Red Bull maintains that its marketing and labelling have always been truthful and accurate, and denies any and all wrongdoing or liability," the company said, in August.
The compensation payments to customers, expected to cost the company $13m (£8.2m), won't happen for a while though.
The legal process is still pending final court approval of the settlement scheduled to happen in May in 2015.
Those wanting to make a claim have to submit a form before 2 March 2015.
No proof or cash till receipt is needed, just to remember whether the drink was purchased between 1 January 2001 and 3 October 2014.
There are reports that Red Bull has agreed to change its advertising but an internet search in the UK still showed the company's old "Gives You Wings" slogan.
No comment from Red Bull in the UK as yet.

Mongolia's currency is on its longest losing streak on record as the government grapples to contain an economic crisis.
Back in 2011, a mining boom helped make it the world's fastest-growing economy with growth in gross domestic product of around 17.5%.
But the tugrik lost about 7.8% of its value this month, making it the world's worst-performing currency, says Bloomberg data.
It's been a rapid descent from grace for the central Asian nation, which neighbours China and Russia.
The landlocked country has substantial untapped reserves of valuable minerals like gold, copper and coal.
But then commodity prices collapsed. And so did demand from China, which buys 90% of Mongolia's exports.
The government has since admitted that the country is "in a deep state of economic crisis".
Finance Minister Choijilsuren Battogtokh said in a nationally televised address last week that they weren't able to afford to pay civil servants or the military.
Making matters worse has been the government's inconsistent approach to investment laws and mining agreements, causing many foreign firms to rush for the exit.
Foreign direct investment in Mongolia plummeted by 85% since 2011 to the first quarter of last year, according to the US State Department.
The populist Mongolian People's Party won power in elections earlier this year after the public lost confidence in the long-ruling Democratic Party over its mishandling of the economy.
However it looks like a hard road ahead for Prime Minister Jargaltulgyn Erdenebat.
Due to its cash shortage, Mongolia has borrowed massively and now owes dinosaur-sized interest payments of a debt load of nearly $23bn.
This has fuelled speculation that Mongolia could face a sovereign default or need a bailout.
Funnily enough, a delegation from the International Monetary Fund arrived in the capital Ulaanbaatar today.
Although selection for this summer's Games will not be decided solely on the strength of a rower's performances across Tuesday and Wednesday, crews that seemed fixed in the coaches' plans could be recast because of one bad or one stellar showing.
Primarily, the trials will help finalise the boats for the European Championships in Brandenburg from 6-8 May - but any rower not included in those crews must confront the unpalatable reality that their Olympic dreams are in serious jeopardy.
The nervousness around the team's Caversham base in recent days reinforces how real that possibility is. "I definitely notice a subtle difference," said World Championship medallist Mark Aldred. "People are getting into training earlier to do a bit more."
Regardless of their speciality, all 115 rowers will compete in either singles or pairs races with the fastest 12 boats in Tuesday's respective time trials moving into the semi-finals later in the day.
The top three in those races will contest the finals on Wednesday, meaning the prospect of an Olympic medallist or two being consigned to the B finals - and an especially anxious wait for selection news - is far from fanciful.
"If we're good enough, we'll be in the boat; if we're not, we'll miss out," said Jess Eddie, who competed at the past two Olympics in Beijing and London. "It's pretty intense but it's in our own hands."
Alex Gregory, Mo Sbihi, George Nash, Will Satch, Pete Reed, Andy Triggs Hodge, Constantine Louloudis
Seven Olympic medallists will take to the water in a daunting men's pair event - including three who won gold at London 2012 - with Mo Sbihi and Alex Gregory the favourites to win a third consecutive title. However, Andy Triggs Hodge - who will team up with Matt Langridge - could also be worth keeping an eye on as he attempts to equal the British record of 10 trials wins, held by Katherine Grainger.
It is hard to see past the peerless Helen Glover and Heather Stanning in the women's pair, given that the reigning Olympic, world and European champions have not lost a race for well over four years. However, Jess Eddie and Polly Swann, who won World Championships gold with Glover in 2013, will likely provide stiff opposition.
The injury-enforced absence of Grainger in the singles leaves her partner from last season, Vicky Thornley, as favourite.
And in the men's event, Angus Groom will look to build on a breakthrough few months by edging out London bronze medallist and three-time world champion Alan Campbell, who lead a field missing most recent winner Charles Cousins.
The highlight of last season's trials was the three-boat photo finish between Olympic champion Kat Copeland, Imogen Walsh and Charlotte Taylor in the lightweight singles. All three will go again this week for the right to occupy the doubles.
And the lightweight men will have both a singles and pairs event as they compete for the right to man the two Olympic boats - the four and the double.

Assistant coach Rob Howley has confirmed wing George North has been training in midfield as a precaution.
Lock Luke Charteris is doubtful as he recovers from a knee injury and Cory Allen requires an X-ray on an ankle.
Fly-half Rhys Priestland, who suffered a dead leg for Bath on Saturday, took part in non-contact training on Monday.
If Davies does not come through his fitness check then Northampton wing North, who has started three Tests at centre, including Wales' victory over France in Cardiff in 2014, looks likely to move inside.
"We've run George at 13, he has trained there this morning and that's one of our options," Howley confirmed.
If North does switch positions, Wales have wing options of Blues pair Alex Cuthbert and Tom James or Dragons youngster Hallam Amos - all three of whom were released for regional duties last weekend.
Wales could also switch full-back Liam Williams to wing and bring in Gareth Anscombe or Matthew Morgan at full-back.
"I think there's a selection dilemma anyway, all three were released," Howley added.
"The Blues game against Leinster was (played in) very difficult weather conditions, it was difficult in terms of the ball getting into the wide channels, but both Tom and Alex acquitted themselves very well.
"Hallam's come back from a long-term injury, he hasn't got the miles on the clock and it's important for Hallam to play."
Wales have not called in any centre replacements despite the doubt over Davies, the injury to Allen and the fact Tyler Morgan has not played since the World Cup.
"Jonathan Davies is training this afternoon [Monday] with us, so we'll wait and see how he comes through that session," said Howley.
"Jon's an experienced Lions player so it'll be great news when he comes through the session.
"We're disappointed to lose Cory Allen, but we're hopeful it won't be as bad as first thought."
Howley also said a decision will be made later in the week on Charteris' fitness.
Bradley Davies has been Wales' replacement lock in the first two matches, while Jake Ball is now back in full training after a knee injury in December.
Dominic Day and James King are Wales' other options in the second row.
Called We Are England, the single features Ryder and his Black Grape bandmate Kermit, joined by Goldie and DJ Paul Oakenfold.
Black Grape fans will recognise the loping piano line and Ryder's laconic drawl as he sings "England til we die."
But the star says the song is really an anthem "for the working people".
The song was the brainchild of Paul Oakenfold, who produced Happy Mondays' Pill, Thrills n' Bellyaches album.
"He emailed me and said he wanted to do a tune for the Euros, but he didn't want it too football-y," Ryder told the BBC.
"He didn't want it political or religious; he really wanted it to be for the heroes of this country, which is the working men and women of England."
Although the lyrics include the line "we're not going home half-way through", Ryder said his lack of expertise prevented him writing a more explicit football anthem.
"I always say, 'whatever you're writing about, know your subject'. So it's good that Oakie didn't want a football song.
"What I do know is that we've got the youngest team in the Euros and that, to me, is a good thing - the naivety of youth.
"Basically, these kids have been knocking goals in the back of the net since they were eight years old. I'm sure when they walk out, it'll just be another job. It probably won't phase them. They'll just go out there wanting a win, and that's a good thing."
Ryder, who is currently writing a new Black Grape album, said he "doubts very much" that the England team have heard his song, but hoped it would find favour with fans.
"I can hear this blasting out of the pubs and people's garden parties while the match is on," he said.
He also admitted to sneaking in a drugs reference - the song talks about "95,000 of us off our face" - which would exclude the song from being endorsed by the Football Association.
There is no official England song for this year's tournament, leading David Baddiel to comment that his 1996 song, Three Lions, had "killed off the football anthem".
The Welsh squad is being backed by The Manic Street Preachers, who have written Together Stronger (C'Mon Wales) as their Euro 2016 anthem.
Northern Ireland is also lacking an official song. However, their Euro 2016-bound players have recorded a version of the viral hit Will Grigg's On Fire.
And there are several fan-made songs for all the sides, including The Nouvelles' Our Oui Country, in support of the Northern Irish side; and the alternative England anthems A Nation of Tribes and This Time England.
Phillip Schofield, Andi Peters and Zoe Ball will be among those looking back at their time on the BBC strand.
Schofield presented the first slot for the all-new 'Children's BBC' at 15:55 BST on 9 September 1985 on BBC One.
Gordon the Gopher and Edd the Duck are among the non-human characters to have made the Broom Cupboard their home.
Hacker's Birthday Bash: 30 Years of Children's BBC airs at 18:00 BST on CBBC and will be hosted by Cel Spellman, Katie Thistleton, Hacker T Dog and Dodge T Dog.
The live programme will include archive clips from the past 30 years and see past presenters share memories and play classic CBBC games.
Phillip Schofield, now the host of ITV's This Morning, was the first continuity announcer to broadcast from the tiny Children's BBC studio.
"I had great fun in the Broom Cupboard, learning the skills of live TV," he said. "If you can introduce Newsround with a fluffy Gopher squeaking next to you, you can handle anything."
Andy Crane, now a presenter on BBC Radio Manchester, followed Schofield into the Broom Cupboard, though he had to share it with Edd the Duck and Wilson the Butler.
"We had no idea how successful it would be," Crane told BBC Breakfast earlier. "Millions of people loved Gordon, Edd and all the other characters."
Andi Peters, pictured in 1992, spent four years in the Broom Cupboard before going on to produce and present Top of the Pops.
"When I last presented Children's BBC, Take That were topping the charts and Chris Evans was everywhere," he said. "Perhaps not that much has changed in the last 22 years after all."
Josie d'Arby and Simeon Courtie joined forces with Otis the Aardvark to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Children's BBC in 1995.
Michael Underwood, pictured at Wimbledon with Emlyn the Gremlyn, went on to marry fellow Children's BBC presenter Angellica Bell.
Zoe Ball is among those who will be joining Hacker T Dog on Wednesday's anniversary programme, which will see the newest recruit to the CBBC presenting team revealed live on air.
"Thirty years is a fantastic achievement," said the presenter, who now presents Strictly Come Dancing's sister show It Takes Two. "It's such a joy to have been part of."
Instead, Chapman told the board that "I became a murderer and murderers are not somebodies", according to the published transcript of the interview.
Chapman was denied parole for the sixth time last week.
Chapman, now aged 55, shot and killed Lennon outside his New York apartment in December 1980.
The former security guard, who experienced bouts of depression, told the parole board he had a list of people he wanted to kill, including the talk show host Johnny Carson and the actress Elizabeth Taylor. Lennon was at the top of the list.
"I wasn't thinking clearly," Chapman stated, "I made a horrible decision to end another human being's life, for reasons of selfishness."
"I felt that by killing John Lennon I would become somebody and instead of that I became a murderer and murderers are not somebodies," he said.
In prison, Chapman works as a porter and a clerk in the law library.
He told the parole officers a judge was willing to help him find a job and give him a place to stay if he was released.
In a closing statement, Chapman said his life had changed because of Jesus.
"I know him, he is with me, he is with me now, he is helping me speak to you now. Without him I am nothing, I would have been an even bigger nobody."
After the interview, Chapman was denied parole yet again. The board said it remained concerned about the disregard he showed for the norms of society and the sanctity of human life.
The boat, with 25 people on board, overturned on Thursday while it was conducting tests near Zhangjiagang, in Jiangsu province.
Eight foreigners were among those on board, including Singaporean, Indian, Malaysian and Japanese nationals.
Three people have been rescued, and the boat has been hauled out of the water.
The foreigners on board were four Singaporeans, one Malaysian, one Indonesian, one Indian and one Japanese, state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
The three people rescued were all Chinese, Xinhua added.
Flooded 'within seconds'
The tugboat, the 30-metre (98-foot) long Wanshenzhou 67, was undergoing tests, with the ship's owner and a team of engineers on board.
The Wanshenzhou 67 was registered in Singapore.
One survivor who was rescued early on Friday, Wang Chenhua, said they had been taking the vessel for a trial voyage.
Mr Wang, who was in the cockpit with a 60-year-old Japanese engineer acting as his translator, said that soon after they had conducted a load test for the boat's main engine, the boat "suddenly turned over" to the left.
He said water rushed into the cockpit which was fully flooded "within 20 seconds". He survived by holding onto a hydraulic pump that was not submerged.
Mr Wang added that he had tried to hold on to the Japanese engineer, but they were separated as the boat sank further.
The boat was constructed in China's Anhui province last October. Local officials told Xinhua the boat had not properly reported its route and work plans to the port authorities.
He told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the film world was seen as "very, very progressive", but was "lagging behind" industries in encouraging diversity.
Radcliffe also said it was hard for gay actors to come out for fear of being typecast in gay roles.
And he stated that he did not want to play Potter again "at this point".
The 27-year-old British actor has starred as JK Rowling's child wizard in several films since 2001.
But his latest screen role, in the thriller Imperium, is as Nate Foster, an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a white supremacist group.
Radcliffe told Victoria Derbyshire this had led him to think more about racial issues, and to consider how close to "mainstream" some of the opinions in the film had become.
He criticised the Republican US presidential candidate, Donald Trump, saying he had "stirred up" feelings of "fear and hatred".
The US film industry has itself come in for criticism for racism, with actor Dustin Hoffman and director Spike Lee boycotting this year's Oscars ceremony over what has been described as a lack of ethnic minority nominees.
Asked whether Hollywood was "racist", Radcliffe, who is on the panel that chooses Oscar winners, said: "It's pretty undeniable."
He added: "We like to think of ourselves as being a very, very progressive industry, but we have been lagging behind in all kinds of areas. "
Radcliffe also voiced concern that gay actors felt unable to come out because "I suppose then people just want to cast you as gay".
In 2012, the actor declared himself a supporter of the Labour Party, having previously backed the Liberal Democrats, and has since voiced support for leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Asked about recent allegations of anti-Semitism within Labour, Radcliffe - whose mother is Jewish - described them as "absolutely awful" and "shocking".
But he said he was still likely to back Labour at the next election "if it was a choice between that and the Conservatives".
There has been speculation that the London stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child could be turned into a film, starring Radcliffe.
But he said: "No-one's asked me about it and I definitely don't think that I would do it at this point, certainly.
"It's only been six years [since last playing Potter] and I'm really enjoying being able to do lots of different stuff at the moment."
He added: "Maybe if 30 years had passed I would be thinking differently. They will be doing remakes, and I could play his dad, or something."
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.

But Paramount Pictures insisted that Mission: Impossible 6 remained on schedule to open in July next year.
Cruise was hurt while filming a jump between two high-rise buildings in London at the weekend.
A video shows him crashing into a wall. He was later seen limping off the set.
Cruise, 55, is well known for doing his own stunts.
In a statement, Paramount said: "During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt.
"Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018.
"Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can't wait to share the film with everyone next summer."
The track, originally released in 2014, achieved 2.9 million streams and 61,000 downloads.
Most proceeds from the song will go to the We Love Manchester fund for the victims of the Manchester Arena attack.
Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber's Despacito held onto the top spot for a fifth week.
Grande's One Love Manchester concert last weekend was attended by 50,000 music fans and watched by millions worldwide.
Liam Gallagher, who also performed at the event, saw his solo single Wall of Glass enter the chart at number 21.
Oasis' classic song Don't Look Back In Anger - which Coldplay's Chris Martin performed with Grande at the gig - reached number 25. It is the first first time it has been in the top 40 since May 1996.
In the album chart, Ed Sheeran's Divide returned to the top spot overtaking the 50th anniversary reissue of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Roger Waters landed at number three with his fourth solo album Is This The Life We Really Want. Dua Lipa's eponymous debut entered at number five.
Grande's Dangerous Woman climbed 18 places to 11.

Morrisons says it will train 9,000 apprentices over the next five years; and Premier Inn and Costa Coffee owner Whitbread plan 6,000 by 2020.
There were also commitments from National Grid and Dairy Crest.
The PM promised three million new apprentices under a Tory government.
Mr Cameron, who launched the Costa Coffee apprenticeship scheme, said: "We want apprenticeships to be level-pegging with a university degree giving millions more people the dignity of work and a regular pay packet.
"We've already created 2.2 million apprenticeships since 2010 but a future Conservative government is committed to opening up three million more high quality apprenticeships - to help strengthen our economy and communities and give millions more people financial security."
This election issue includes funding for schools, university tuition fees and early years education.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Labour says it would guarantee apprenticeships for every school leaver in England who "gets the grades" by 2020, while the Lib Dems have been keen to claim a share of the credit for those created in the last Parliament.
Nick Clegg's party says it would offer an extra £1 an hour for the lowest paid apprentices.
Andy Harrison, chief executive of Whitbread, said: "I firmly believe that investing in apprenticeships is essential to Whitbread's future success and to the health of the UK economy, as well as helping the next generation to achieve their full potential."
National Grid is taking on 500 new apprentices and Dairy Crest will take 200, as well as opening a new training academy.
Also on Thursday, Labour said it would guarantee teenagers face-to-face individual careers advice if it forms the next government.
The party's education manifesto also includes a pledge "to protect the entire education budget in real terms".

Over the next four months David Cameron will campaign, he promises, with all his heart and soul, to secure our place in the European Union.
He has the support of most of his cabinet, most of the political establishment, Labour, SNP and Lib Dem MPs.
Yet many of his colleagues will oppose him loudly and proudly.
The demand for a referendum went from the margins to the mainstream of the Conservatives in part because of the rise of UKIP, but also the chaos of the eurozone crisis and its seeming inability to deal with its profound problems. Now - in or out, is politics' central question.
And despite the polite promises of civilised debate, Mr Cameron is risking the unity of his party with the vote.
Cabinet ministers, finally allowed to speak out today like Iain Duncan Smith, and Michael Gove rushed straight from Downing Street to work the phones for one of the leave campaigns.
The gang of six who posed awkwardly for photographs could well become seven when Boris Johnson breaks his continuing silence.
But whatever the individual calculations, expressions of opinion on either side, are dwarfed by what today's announcement finally confirms.
That in 123 days British voters have the chance to choose to step away from one of the institutions that has shaped our laws, and all of our lives, for more than 40 years.
Lock Beukeboom, 26, has agreed a two-year deal, while wing Evans has signed a one-year extension along with Matt Bolwell, John Stevens and Bar Bartlett.
Speaking about Bolwell and Stevens, coach Alan Paver said: "They are two young guys who have proved their worth.
"This season Bar has been another huge contributor and we are over the moon to sign such a quality player."
Pirates, who are sixth in the Championship, play their final game of the season against Bedford on Saturday and now have 24 players signed on for the 2017-18 campaign.
Incoming NAHT leader Kim Johnson, who is an academy head, says he knows the merits of autonomy and freedom.
But in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, he warns that the programme is costly and the benefits uncertain.
The government says it wants all schools to be able to enjoy academy freedoms.
It has published plans to require all schools to become academies by 2022.
But there has been opposition from teachers, Labour politicians and from some Conservative MPs and councillors.
Now the National Association of Head Teachers, which mainly represents primary schools, has expressed its concerns.
Mr Johnson says in the letter: "I will happily persuade my colleagues of the merits of autonomy and freedom. But I have doubts about forcing every school in England to convert to academy status.
"The cost of this initiative is high and the benefits are uncertain. Smaller schools could suffer.
"We should be devoting our energy to what happens inside the classroom rather than top-down structural reform and I'll be disappointed if legislation is rushed into the Queen's Speech."
He told the BBC many schools had made the decision that working within a local authority structure worked for them and their community.
"Why change that? If the choice is become an academy because you know that actually you can improve the quality of what's going on, then that would seem the right thing to do. So give the choice. Trust in us. We do know what we're doing," he said.
His comments come as Education Secretary Nicky Morgan is preparing to address the NAHT conference in Birmingham.
Earlier this week, she defended the plans in front of the Education Select Committee, saying they would create "a strong, consistent system".
A dual system with academies running alongside local authority schools would be less efficient, she said.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of the NAHT, said there were concerns from some members who were leading good or outstanding schools.
"They've had the chance to convert to academy status for five years or more - they've got good reasons for not doing so. A government that talks about professional autonomy and delegating the control to the front line really needs to listen to that," he said.
"What they want to do is focus on teaching and learning in the classroom not on all the logistics admin and legal changes that would just be a distraction for them."
Paul Luxemore, executive head of the Coastal Academies Trust which oversees four secondary schools and one primary school, told BBC Radio 5 live: "By arguing that remaining local authority schools should have the choice not to become academies, in effect the NAHT are defending local authorities.
"I think we have already reached tipping point where local authorities in most parts of the UK can't provide the school improvement that they did in the past - so many schools have become academies already that the capacity for local authorities to deliver effective school improvement has been hugely diminished."
The discovery was made just before 14:00 GMT on Friday on land close to Imperial Park, Coedkernew.
In the video, Lucy, a member of the team investigating, said she was "really worried" for the mother.
She added: "I know you cared for the baby because you wrapped your little one in a towel."
She asked the mother to call or text her or get a relative to do so.
A post mortem examination carried out on Monday showed the baby had been born at around full-term, police confirmed.
Gwent Police is currently treating the death as unexplained.
Anyone with information has been asked to call 101.
One of the posts refers to a caller with terrible toothache dialling 999 to ask the police to come and pull his tooth out.
In another, police were asked if the Ulster Bus service from Greystone Road in Antrim was operating on that day.
Police also revealed in a tweet that they received 500,000 calls a year.
The PSNI urged people not to misuse emergency services.
Ch Supt Peter Farrar said: "People should think very carefully about what and who they require before wasting the already heavily burdened time of the emergency services.
"All calls to an emergency service must be prioritised as and when they come in, and significant resources are spent dealing with such alerts to ensure public safety.
"Time spent dealing with hoax or nuisance callers can prevent police, and other emergency services from reaching people needing immediate assistance, ultimately putting lives in danger.
"The non-emergency telephone number for anyone wishing to contact the police is 101."
Reprimanded for failing to obey a call to order, he was thrown out of the chamber by house speaker David Carter.
Mr Carter said Mr Key had ignored several of his warnings: "He is to be treated no differently to any other in this house," Mr Carter said.
It is not the first time John Key has been thrown out of the chamber as PM.
Parliamentary records show he has been expelled on three other occasions while MP, the New Zealand news website Stuff reports.
Nor is he the first New Zealand prime minister to be ejected from the chamber: he follows in the footsteps of Helen Clark, in 2005, and before her, David Lange in both 1986 and 1987.
The patch fixes issues surrounding Java, a popular programming language that had a major security hole allowing malicious code to infect machines.
Apple was among several companies targeted in recent weeks by hackers exploiting the Java weakness.
One expert criticised Apple, saying it "could have been quicker" to act.
Both Facebook and Twitter have made recent admissions of being hacked - with Twitter having to email thousands of users with instructions on how to reset their passwords.
In Tuesday's statement, Apple made a rare admission of a breach.
"We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network," the company said.
"There is no evidence that any data left Apple. We are working closely with law enforcement to find the source of the malware."
The iPhone-maker went on to say it would be releasing a security patch - which it has now done. Users will be automatically informed about the update.
But Graham Cluley, from security firm Sophos, has accused Apple of being slow to react.
He said Java developer Oracle had released its own fix at the beginning of the month after having discovered exploits that were "in the wild" - a term given to vulnerabilities being used by hackers.
"Whether they were the same exploits as the ones that hit Apple is a little bit unclear," Mr Cluley told the BBC.
"But it does look like they could have been quicker on this. There has been a history of Apple being a little laid back on patches."
The patch means users will have the most up-to-date version of the Java platform. Additional measures, which had already been in place for most Mac users, included automatically disabling Java if it is not used for 35 days.
Java should not be confused with a different programming language, Javascript, which is also used extensively across the web but is not implicated in these latest security issues.
A major report released on Tuesday accused a unit working for the Chinese People's Liberation Army of being behind many of the world's attacks.
On Wednesday, a different security firm, speaking to Bloomberg, speculated that the attacks on Facebook, Apple and Twitter may have actually originated from Eastern Europe.
Mr Cluley told the BBC it is difficult to pinpoint the source of attacks: "It is very hard to prove where a hack really has originated from.
"Even if it comes from a Chinese computer - it could have been a hijacked Chinese computer.
He suggested that it was likely most developed countries in the world were engaging in some cyber-activity - including the UK.
"In the past [Foreign Secretary] William Hague has said he would take pre-emptive strikes against foreign hackers if necessary.
"We've well and truly entered this new era of cybercrime. It's now very much about stealing information, spying and of course intelligence services care a lot about that."
A short video on Facebook has been viewed 43 million times in the five days since it was posted by BBC Scotland's The Social.
The video features Finlay Wilson, a Dundee-based forest yoga instructor, and friend Tristan Cameron-Harper, a former professional ice hockey player.
The video was shot at The Hermitage near Dunkeld two weeks ago and features Wilson and Cameron-Harper wearing only kilts.
The video ends with a cheeky shot of the pair doing a headstand.
Thirty-year-old Wilson said: "Apparently there is something about the recipe of beards, kilts, butts and the Scottish highlands that just works."
Cameron-Harper, who was born on Jersey and grew up in Dundee before playing ice hockey professionally in Canada, the US, Holland and then Glasgow's Braehead Clan, said it took him 40 takes to pull off the final shot in which the kilts slip down to reveal their bottoms.
He said: "Finlay managed to do the final shot with the kilt dropping away perfectly first time, every time. He was freezing by the time I managed to do it.
"It was good fun to do and we've had such incredible feedback since. We are now just riding its wave and seeing where it takes us next."
Until the next phase of kilted yoga comes along, the 28-year-old is working towards becoming a professional climber and has been honing those skills on trips into Scotland's hills, including the Cairngorms.
Wilson, meanwhile, has an idea where to take the kilted yoga next - combining it with his dog Amaloh.
A video of him and Amaloh doing yoga has also been popular on social media.
Mr Wilson said: "He's a rescue dog from Sri Lanka.
"When I was out there on my honeymoon he would be there all the time. He would be at my yoga mat. He would be outside my room in the morning, he would stay with us all day long and it just got to the point when I was leaving, I thought: 'I can't leave this dog here'.
"He was skin and bones, mangy, bits missing, but his character was so winning I could not have left him. He's a sweetheart."
Mr Wilson added: "He's getting pretty good at yoga. He can do down dog pretty easy. He can get his foot behind his head easier than I can, that's for sure.
"Kilted yoga for dogs could be the next big thing."
The pair have won 14 titles since April 2015, including three consecutive Grand Slams.
However, a 41-match winning streak ended in February and they have failed to advance beyond the quarter-finals in their past four events.
But Swiss Hingis and India's Mirza will reunite to defend their WTA Finals title in Singapore in October.
The self-styled "Santina" team issued a statement which said: "We have mutually agreed that we would each be open to playing with other players for the remainder of the season.
"Perhaps, because of our great past results, we have had very high expectations from our partnership and unfortunately did not get the results we desired recently.
"We would like to clarify that it was a totally professional decision based purely on our recent results."
Mirza will link up with Czech Barbora Strycova at next week's Western & Southern Open, while Hingis is at the Rio Olympics partnering fellow Swiss Timea Bacsinszky.
In the time-honoured way, her briefing team revealed something of what she was "expected to say" on Wednesday. The extract, reported on the BBC and in many of the papers, included the claim that, when it comes to online crime, "the problem is escalating by the day".
On the day, that line was no longer in her speech. Instead, the shadow home secretary put the claims in someone else's mouth. "Police say it's growing exponentially," she said this afternoon.
And I suspect the change is down to me.
On Tuesday afternoon, I challenged Cooper's office to justify her statement on "escalating" cybercrime because the official body set up by the Home Office specifically to monitor fraud, including e-crime, does not make the same claim.
In fact, the National Fraud Authority's latest annual fraud indicator (AFI) is very circumspect. "The AFI does not indicate whether fraud losses overall have increased or decreased," it says. "Year on year comparisons are not meaningful… and cannot sensibly be used to trend or draw conclusions on the 'growth' or 'decline' of fraud over time."
Because politicians inhabit a world that really believes the Home Office has the power to change crime trends, it almost becomes the democratic duty of shadow home secretaries to be the sirens of doom, warning about rising criminality and social collapse.
For decades this was quite an easy job. Crime really was rising. But since the mid-1990s, this has become much harder because crime levels have been falling in almost every category.
As shadow home secretary before the last election, Chris Grayling got into hot water for suggesting that violent crime was soaring. David Cameron said the same thing. Now, of course, the prime minister is happy to take credit for falling crime figures.
So Ms Cooper cannot just quote the crime stats to attack her political opponents. Indeed, she said today that "everyone welcomes the 20-year drop in recorded crime".
The original draft of her script appeared to have found a new line of attack - crime isn't falling, it is changing. The government is failing to adapt to the new and growing criminal threat.
It feels right, doesn't it? All those dodgy emails promising lottery gazillions if you just send your bank details to some nice chap in Nigeria are an almost daily reminder of the risks of cybercrime.
Every time your bank declines your card because of a "security check", or your computer security system alerts you to a new malware attack or virus, the invisible threat of electronic villainy is raised.
Cooper's team had obviously scoured the cuttings to find stories of victims of cyber-crime for her speech: "The pensioner who lost his savings wiring help to a friend he thought was stuck abroad in distress. The family who lost hundreds of pounds on a holiday which never existed."
Cybercrime is undoubtedly a very significant problem, but is it getting worse? The difficulty is that we only recently started trying to count it and, as we look harder for it, we discover more of it. But that doesn't mean it is rising. It may actually be falling.
Remember how credit card fraud increased during the noughties, only to fall away again after the introduction of chip-and-pin? The opportunity for cybercrime increases as we live more of our lives online, but we may be getting better at stopping it and smarter at avoiding it.
How many people really fall victim to the email from the friend "struck abroad in distress"? Recent analysis of crime survey data suggests that 56% of adults in England and Wales had received unsolicited communication from someone they'd never heard of, requesting money.
But the ONS paper goes on to say that "the number of victims is too small to produce any reliable estimates of the scale of victimisation".
When the Home Affairs Select Committee looked at trends in e-crime this year they concluded that "the incidence of e-crime is high and increasing". But support for the second part of that statement was not terribly convincing.
Evidence from RSA and Symantec "attest to an increase in the threat from e-crime", they said. That will be two of the corporate computer giants that make money flogging security software, then.
There is a risk from hackers and viruses and malware attacks, but companies who make their billions on the back of people's cyber-fears are not the most independent of sources.
Indeed, an academic paper written for the European Network and Information Security Agency a few years ago complained that "the number of phishing websites, of distinct attackers and of different types of malware is persistently over-reported… when in fact a small number of gangs lie behind many incidents and a police response against them could be far more effective than telling the public to fit anti-phishing toolbars or purchase antivirus software".
I am slightly doubtful as to where Cooper's anonymous police officer got his "exponential" increase from. We need to be alert to the risks of crime online. And there may be an argument for greater government focus on the issue.
But it is just as important to retain a sense of perspective on the risk. Otherwise, millions who might really benefit from using the internet will be put off because they think cyberspace is like the Wild West.
My piece has now elicited the following response from Yvette Cooper on Twitter: "much as I'd love to credit you for my speeches mark, was more concerned w length. Happy to repeat e-crime going up day by day."
The Uruguay international, 24, was a second-half substitute in the 6-0 League Cup win at MK Dons on Wednesday.
Ramirez, who spent last season on loan at Hull City, was Saints' club record signing when he cost them £12m in 2012.
"He's part of the squad, training well, well disciplined and not complaining. I admire that," said Koeman.
Ramirez's last appearance for the Saints was in a 3-1 victory at West Ham in August 2014 but injury and questions over his attitude have plagued his three years at the club.
Southampton also welcomed back left-back Ryan Bertrand for his first game of the season after undergoing knee surgery during the summer.
Koeman added: "He's good because he played 45 minutes [in an under-21 game against Reading] on Monday and another 35 minutes tonight. He is still maybe not ready for a whole game, but he's close to being back."
Matt Bloomfield's 23rd-minute strike looked like winning the game until striker Green, among the substitutes for a fifth consecutive match, levelled after grabbing winners from the bench in the previous two outings.
Pat Hoban might have put the Stags ahead in the 11th minute after being put through by Mitchell Rose, but, having rounded the goalkeeper, Danny Rowe was there to clear off the line.
Wycombe then stepped up the pressure and Dominic Gape forced Scott Shearer to parry a powerful blast.
The visitors went ahead after 23 minutes as Paul Hayes split the defence with a ball down the centre that sent Bloomfield clear for a calm finish from 12 yards.
Stags brought on talisman Green in a double swap at the break and he and Rhys Bennett sent early headers wide.
Mal Benning fizzed a first time 20-yard effort over and forced Jamal Blackman to save another from the same distance.
But Green was the hero nine minutes from time as he hooked in from 10 yards after substitute Darius Henderson had nodded down a Benning free-kick.

The 16-year-old victim suffered serious injuries after being attacked in a lane next to Bannerman High School in Baillieston at about 22:30 on Friday.
He had been approached by a young man as he walked through the lane towards Glasgow Road.
Police said he was stabbed following an altercation with the suspect.
The suspect, who was with a young woman, ran off in an unknown direction.
The victim managed to make his way to Maxwell Avenue where an ambulance was called. He was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains "serious but stable".
The suspect is described as about 18 years old. He was wearing a dark hooded jumper and dark jogging bottoms.
Det Sgt Willie Downie, from Shettleston CID, said: "This teenage boy could have lost his life as a result of this brutal attack and it is critical that we trace the person responsible as soon as possible.
"The surrounding area is popular with groups of youths and I would appeal to anyone who was there around the time of the incident to get in touch.
"In particular I would like to speak to the young woman who was in the company of the suspect as I believe she may have tried to break up the altercation.
"Somebody must know something and anyone with information is asked to contact Shettleston CID on 101.
"Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
Four adults and three children were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital as a precaution.
Fire crews were called to the three-storey property in Elder Street in Govan in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said all the flats within the block were affected by smoke.
A spokesman added: "Firefighters extinguished the fire and then swept the premises after the alarm was raised just after midnight.
"A six-strong crew located all the residents, who were transferred to the care of ambulance staff."
The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
Guzman is wanted there on charges of smuggling vast amounts of drugs into the country.
The Mexican foreign ministry now has 30 days to decide whether or not to approve the extradition.
Guzman's lawyers have already appealed against the judge's ruling. Two days ago the authorities transferred him to a prison near the US border.
But they denied the move to Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, was a precursor to extradition.
The National Security Commission said the transfer was due to work being done to boost security at the Altiplano maximum security prison near Mexico City, where he was being held.
Guzman was the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
He was captured in January, six months after escaping through a 1.6km (one-mile) tunnel from his maximum-security prison cell.

John Lowe made the comments in a police van and cell after shooting Christine Lee, 66, and Lucy Lee, 40, at his dog breeding farm in February, Guildford Crown Court was told.
He has denied two counts of murder and a firearms charge.
Prosecuting, Mark Dennis QC said Mr Lowe also told police he was not sorry.
Mr Dennis said Mr Lowe told police he had intended to put down his four dogs but instead turned his weapon on the women before going on to kill the dogs as well.
PC Richard McEwan, who took over responsibility for detaining Mr Lowe after his arrest, told the court Mr Lowe said: "They had to be put down, there was nothing else I could do.
"I have had terrible problems with Christine. They wouldn't let me eat."
He told the court the pensioner made further comments in a holding cell at Guildford police station, including: "I only got the gun this morning to put the dogs down.
"Came in and Lucy shouted 'What are you doing? You are not going to put my mother down'.
"They barracked me and I pulled the trigger. I do not even know if I meant to."
PC Christopher Fairclough said he heard Mr Lowe say: "I am not sorry. I am out of the problem. They are causing me problems every day."
Lucy Lee's sister, Stacey Banner, who spent part of 2013 living in a caravan with her partner in the grounds of Mr Lowe's farm, left the court in tears after Det Con David Jones gave an account of comments he said Mr Lowe made about her.
He told the court Mr Lowe said: "She had two young kids otherwise I would have sorted her out."
And Mr Jones repeated another comment allegedly made by Mr Lowe in which he said: "I know it's a terrible thing to say but I am glad those two people are out of my life. They have been giving me a terrible time."
A fourth officer, PC Philip Potter, said Mr Lowe told him he would rather have put the women down than the dogs.
He told the court the defendant said: "It was funny how she got shot. I had loaded the gun to put down four dogs. The gun went off completely by accident."
He added Mr Lowe told him he had never had an accident with a shotgun before, and if one of the women had not pushed through the door it would not have happened.
"I have been around shotguns all my life and that's the first mistake I have made. I was carrying the gun and must have cocked it," the officer said Mr Lowe told him.
Jurors saw video from the holding cell Mr Lowe was in and heard him asking the custody sergeant to contact the RSPCA about four killed dogs, as well as four chihuahuas, and a number of tame cats that remained in the house.

Zsigmond's business partner, Yuri Neyman, said he died on Friday in Big Sur, California.
The film-maker won an Oscar for Steven Spielberg's 1977 film Close Encounters and was nominated again a year later for The Deer Hunter.
He was also revered as an architect of the American New Wave in the 1970s.
Hungarian-born Zsigmond first gained renown for his collaboration with maverick director Robert Altman on his films McCabe and Mrs Miller and The Long Goodbye.
He went on to work with many of cinema's most celebrated film-makers and became one of Hollywood's most admired cinematographers, thanks to his contributions on films such as Blow Out, Deliverance, The River and Images.
The most recent of his four Oscar nominations came in 2007 for The Black Dahlia. He also shot a number of episodes of the Fox sitcom The Mindy Project.
In 2003, Zsigmond ranked among the 10 most influential cinematographers in film history in a survey conducted by the International Cinematographers Guild.
Guild president Steven Poster said in a statement: "Vilmos' genius was not only in his images, but in his sense of duty to honest storytelling. Working up close with him, I also learned about perseverance and an obligation to the story from the master.
"His brave beginnings providing footage from the Hungarian revolution will always be an important part of his legacy and to future generations of cinematographers and film students. He made a difference."
American Psycho novelist and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis paid tribute on Twitter saying Zsigmond was "one of the greatest cinematographers in movie history and defined the look of 70s film".
Easy Rider actor Peter Fonda also tweeted: "Such a dear man and great friend."
Zsigmond was one of the most in-demand cinematographers in Hollywood, working with directors such as Michael Cimino, Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma and George Miller.
Spielberg was particularly impressed with Zsigmond's work and chose him for his debut feature The Sugarland Express, which then inspired the director to hire him again for his global hit Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Zsigmond's Oscar nomination for the traumatic Vietnam War film The Deer Hunter came in 1979 and the cinematographer considered the film one of his finest achievements.
During the 1980s, the film-maker worked on smaller movies and received another Oscar nomination for Mark Rydell's The River in 1984.
Zsigmond also worked on a series of Woody Allen films in the 2000s, including Melinda and Melinda, Cassandra's Dream and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. | Cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, best known for his work on The Deer Hunter and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, has died aged 85. | 35,220,714 | 608 | 35 | false |

England, who beat the United States 24-19 in the semi-finals, struck first with a Tom Bowen try but then conceded 28 unanswered points by the break.
England, four-time winners in Dubai, replied with tries from Bowen and Phil Burgess but never looked like winning.
Australia won the women's final while England beat France 10-5 for third.
Fiji's victory is the first time they have beaten England in a men's World Sevens Series final and they are set to be one of the favourites for the title when the truncated version of rugby union makes its Olympic bow in Brazil next summer.
England got the perfect start when Bowen chased down a Dan Bibby 60-yard kick to cross the line.
But their hopes were dashed as Fiji racked up four tries in a devastating five-minute spell as England made too many handling errors.
Savenaca Rawaga, Jasa Vermalua, Isake Katonibau and Jerry Tuwai scored Fiji's tries.
England regrouped at the break and Bowen scored his second try to hint at an England fight-back, but Fiji looked comfortable and there was only 40 seconds remaining when Burgess reduced the arrears further.
England coach Simon Amor said his team was "running on empty".
"Fiji were so dangerous and they retained possession so well we just didn't have the guys to make the tackles," he added.
"We blooded two debutants in the final so overall I'm delighted."

Reuben Morris-Laing, 21, was discovered in Robin Hood Street, St Ann's, shortly before 21:30 GMT on Wednesday, and later died in hospital.
A 29-year-old man is being held on suspicion of murder and a woman, 22, is suspected of assisting an offender.
Mr Morris-Laing's family said they have been left "devastated" by his death.
In a statement, they said: "Reuben was a caring, family orientated man who was always in high spirits.
"He was polite and nice to everyone he came into contact with.
"Reuben was also a hardworking role model who had high ambitions. He had chosen his vocation as a carpenter which was influenced by his father.
"We are all devastated by what has happened and life won't be the same without him."
The incident prompted Nottingham City Council's leader to call for tougher penalties for knife crime.
The Gunners were seeking the win that would put them in pole position in Group A after years of finishing second and six consecutive eliminations in the last 16 in the knockout phase.
And it looked like Arsenal were on their way despite going behind early on to Edinson Cavani's sliding finish from Blaise Matuidi's cross.
Olivier Giroud scored from a penalty just before half-time after Grzegorz Krychowiak fouled Alexis Sanchez. And Arsenal were ahead on the hour when a penalty-box rebound struck Marco Verratti and flew in.
PSG were always dangerous and Lucas' header, which took a touch off Alex Iwobi, gave them a fully-deserved equaliser 13 minutes from time.
Cavani then missed two good chances and although Arsenal and PSG are level on points, the French champions have the advantage on head-to-head away goals with one round of games left after a 1-1 draw between the teams in Paris earlier in the group.
Arsenal's inability to top their Champions League group has cost them dearly as they have failed to get past the last 16 in the past six years - and they now face the same fate again.
The odds now seem stacked in favour of Unai Emery's side, but the side that finishes top could yet end up facing the likes of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
PSG face Ludogorets at home in their final game, the team Arsenal beat 6-0 at Emirates Stadium, while Wenger's side travel to Basel.
There is still an opportunity for late twists but it is starting to look like second again after this enthralling draw.
They will be entering familiar territory after reaching the last 16 every season in the Champions League's current format, which has been in existence since 2003-04.
Arsenal have suffered in finishing second. Those exits at the last-16 stage in the past six seasons have included two losses to Barcelona, two to Bayern Munich and one each to AC Milan and Monaco.
Arsenal may not have been at their best here but they once again showed the resilience that manager Arsene Wenger believes is starting to become their trademark.
Wenger hinted at this new-found strength in his programme notes, written after they grabbed a late point at Manchester United in the Premier League.
He said: "We were resilient, we came back and we've done that many times this season. I believe we have the quality and the spirit on the bench now and that combination makes us remarkably resilient until the last minute."
Arsenal were outplayed until they got a penalty in first-half injury time and while they hardly sparkled in the second half they at least dug deep to earn a point that could yet prove vital.
Cavani has forged a reputation as one of the world's most formidable strikers - and he was on target here again when he slid in to turn home Matuidi's cross to put PSG ahead after 18 minutes.
The Uruguayan's runs into space are magical but he could have made Arsenal's plight much worse with two glaring second half misses, one when he broke clear and went for a Hollywood chipped finish that David Ospina saved, and a point-blank header he directed wide from Lucas' cross.
Cavani has the record of a quality player - but he let Arsenal off the hook.
Arsenal return to Premier League action on Sunday when they host Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium in a match that starts at 14:15 GMT.

The biggest single factor is the use of fertiliser to grow wheat, which accounts for 43% of greenhouse gas emissions, say experts.
Emissions arise from energy needed to make ammonium nitrate fertiliser and from nitrous oxide released when it is broken down in the soil.
Around 12 million loaves are sold each day in the UK.
Consumers need to be more aware of the environmental costs of their food, say researchers at the University of Sheffield.
There are growing concerns about pollution from plastic packaging around food, as well as wider environmental issues.
Lead researcher Dr Liam Goucher said that in every loaf there is embodied global warming resulting from the fertiliser farmers use to increase their wheat harvest.
"That one key raw material accounts for - in terms of global warming potential - 43% of a loaf of bread," he told BBC News.
"People are well aware of where bread comes from but there's a lack of understanding about perhaps the environmental impact of that bread or the emissions contained by that bread," he added.
The researchers carried out the study to highlight concerns that ammonium nitrate fertiliser is being used "at unsustainable rates".
Up to 60% of crops are grown with the use of fertilisers, made up of chemicals such as methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia and nitrogen.
While synthetic fertilisers can boost the growth of plants - and raise yields - they can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Prof Peter Horton, a co-researcher on the study, added: "With over 100 million tonnes of fertiliser used globally each year to support agricultural production this is a massive problem, but environmental impact is not costed within the system and so there are currently no real incentives to reduce our reliance on fertiliser."
The research, published in the journal Nature Plants, analysed the complete process behind producing a loaf of bread:
The data found that growing wheat for bread had the biggest influence on producing greenhouse gases, mainly through the use of fertiliser.
This was followed by milling and the bakery stage of the process.
The researchers say there needs to be shared responsibility for the environmental costs of making bread, including fertiliser producers, farmers, millers, bakers, retailers and consumers.
The agreement gives the German car manufacturer a foothold in the US truck market and Navistar a source for new engines for its fleet of vehicles.
Volkswagen will pay $15.76 (£11.76) for each of 16.2 million new company shares - 12% above Friday's closing price.
The deal is also creating a joint venture for procurement, which will help Navistar reach synergies of at least $500m (£373m) over five years.
There had been pressure on Navistar and other companies to find technology partners, after US regulators announced new environmental standards to cut greenhouse gas emissions from medium and heavy-duty trucks by up to 25% by 2027.
The company's chief executive Troy Clarke said: "Over the longer term, it is intended to expand the technology options we are able to offer our customers by leveraging the best of both companies."
The yellow "be aware" alert is valid from 03:00 on Wednesday until 06:00 on Thursday.
The Met Office said the biggest threat of torrential downpours was likely to develop late on Wednesday afternoon.
It said that initial heavy rain and thunder was likely to be confined to parts of northern England before spreading to other areas.

In the past two days, LÉ Eithne has saved more than 500 people attempting to cross the Mediterranean from Africa to Europe.
LÉ Eithne will be deployed in the Mediterranean for up to six months.
Italy's coastguard said nearly 3,500 migrants were rescued in total on Sunday from 15 boats off the coast of Libya.
The International Organisation for Migration has praised the Irish Naval Service for its efforts.
To date, it has brought more than 1,100 people to safety in the Mediterranean.
It is estimated that more than 1,600 people have drowned so far this year trying to make the crossing.
Many are fleeing war in Libya, where so-called Islamic State fighters are terrorising the population, fuelling instability in the war-torn country.
"We were two hours from getting Benitez and then Real Madrid came in. We had agreed a contract," Sullivan said.
"He is a top manager whatever anybody says, and I think he'd have done a wonderful job for us."
Sullivan also said West Ham approached Jurgen Klopp, who joined Liverpool instead to replace Brendan Rodgers.
"We tried Klopp as well but he wouldn't come because he said he wanted a break. But I'm glad with the manager we have got," added Sullivan.
West Ham are 10th in the Premier League and have lost only four league matches since former Croatia boss Bilic took over.
Sullivan also heaped praise on injured midfielder Dimitri Payet - calling him "the best player I've signed in 25 years" - and said the Hammers will make Manuel Lanzini's season-long loan from Al Jazira Club a permanent deal "by February or March", two months earlier than planned.
An announcement on her official website said she will play 15 shows at London's Hammersmith Apollo in August and September.
The title for the show is Before the Dawn and the first date will be 26 August.
The singer, whose hits include Wuthering Heights and Hounds of Love, last toured in 1979.
"I am delighted to announce that we will be performing some live shows this coming August and September," she said.
"I hope you will be able to join us and I look forward to seeing you there."
Tickets go on sale 09:30 GMT Friday, 28 March.
Bush's first ever tour in 1979 featured mime, magic and poetry alongside her music, but it reportedly took its toll on the singer, then just 20.
"By the end," she subsequently recalled, "I felt a terrific need to retreat as a person because I felt that my sexuality, which in a way I hadn't really had a chance to explore myself, was being given to the world in a way which I found impersonal."
The six-week tour, which travelled around Britain and mainland Europe, ended at the Hammersmith Odeon - now the Hammersmith Apollo - the venue she has chosen to return to for the new shows.

I've interviewed her two or three times. I always asked whether she fancied playing live again and she always said, 'I never rule it out'.
But I didn't ever feel she had any intention of doing it. So I'm quite surprised that she's come back now. But very excited.
I know she would not do it unless she felt confident about doing it. Most of her back catalogue has never been performed live, so it will be fascinating to see which songs she chooses.
I'm sure there will be a degree of theatre and drama to it. I would expect it to have lots of great back projection and theatrical staging, but I would have thought the centrepiece would be her at the piano.
I do think this is pretty risk-free, because the love for her and the fascination is so great, and I'm sure she will do it in the right way.
Speaking to the BBC three years ago, Bush refused to rule out touring again, but said: "I do have the odd dream where I'm on stage and I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to be performing - so they are more nightmares than dreams."
"[They] didn't stop me," she told Radio 4's Front Row, "but I do think if I were to do any live work, I'd be completely petrified to start with."
Bush last released an album in 2011, the Brit-nominated 50 Words For Snow.
It was only her third album of new material in 18 years - and the singer admitted that her slow work rate was "extremely stressful".
"It's very frustrating the albums take as long as they do," she said. "I wish there weren't such big gaps between them."
Bush, whose other hits include Running Up That Hill and Babooshka, has won both Brit and Ivor Novello awards.
In 2013, the Queen honoured her with a CBE for services to music.
Beacons were lit at several locations including Belfast, Coleraine, Enniskillen, Bangor, Ballyhalbert, and at the Knockagh monument, Greenisland.
They were among a chain of more than 200 beacons across the UK.
There were also 1940s-style parties and a gun signal at Hillsborough Castle.
In Coleraine, two search lights were switched on at the front of the town hall on Friday night, forming a V in the night sky.

On Friday morning, WW2 veterans were the guests of honour at a 1940s-style street party at the Royal British Legion's "Pop-In Centre" in Belfast city centre.
The Legion's area manager for Northern Ireland, Brian Maguire, said: "It's important that we do not let this occasion pass without celebrating the Second World War generation who played such an important part in our history."
The armed forces in Northern Ireland took part in a synchronised ceremonial gun salute, in tandem with salutes in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and on Royal Navy ships around the world.
Members of the 206 (Ulster) Battery Royal Artillery fired their 105mm Light Gun at Hillsborough Castle, County Down, the home of the secretary of state for Northern Ireland.
The salute marked the start and finish of a two-minute silence held in remembrance of the war dead.
The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, councillor Billy Ashe, lit the beacon at the Knockagh Monument, County Antrim's War Memorial, which was visible from more than 50 miles away.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mr Ashe said: "We cannot let this day pass without reflecting on the sacrifice and courage of the people who saw us through this period in our history.
"The commemoration should be a time to remember and pay tribute to all those who played their part."
The race will be held in the south of France at the Circuit Paul Ricard - also known as Le Castellet - which last staged the event in 1990.
The deal was announced by Christian Estrosi, the president of the regional authority of Provence and the Cote d'Azur, in Paris on Monday.
The French Grand Prix was last held at Magny-Cours in central France in 2008.
France hosted the first grand prix in 1906 but lost its race because the organisers were unable to fund the event.
Le Castellet is owned by the family trust of F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone, but he told Reuters last week the promoters were renting the track from it.
The 86-year-old said the race was likely to be held at the end of July.
It is the second European race to return in the past few years - following the re-establishment of the Austrian Grand Prix, which is now funded by Red Bull.
Other European races are struggling to meet the demands for ever-higher fees from F1 - Germany has dropped off the calendar in 2017, although is expected to return in 2018, and the future of the Italian race was in doubt until a new deal was agreed last week.
Silverstone's owners have said they are looking into whether they will be able to continue to afford the British Grand Prix after 2019.
French driver Romain Grosjean tweeted: "Really super-happy for French fans, who will have their Grand Prix and can come to support us."

Fury, 27, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history, outpointing Ukrainian Klitschko and bringing his nine-year reign to an end.
There was a rematch clause in the fight contract, but it is yet to be decided whether Germany or the UK will host it.
"I lost the battle but the fighter is still in me," said Klitschko, 39.
"We'll soon work out when and where the rematch will take place and let you know," he added.
Fury replied: "I'm a fighter, so I will take on all challengers. I want to be a great champion and I'd like to do it all again. Who knows what the rematch holds? One thing I can say about it is that it's going to be explosive."
Fury, from Manchester, won by a unanimous decision at the 50,000-capacity Esprit Arena to wrest the WBA, IBF and WBO belts from Klitschko.
He is Britain's fifth bona fide world heavyweight champion, after Bob Fitzsimmons, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno and David Haye.
Herbie Hide and Henry Akinwande both held WBO versions of the title at a time when the organisation's title holders were not widely recognised as genuine world champions.
And while Fury was happy to trash-talk his rival during the build-up to the fight, afterwards he was full of respect for "a great champion".
"If I could be half as good a champion as Wladimir Klitschko I would be very, very happy," said Fury. "He put up a really good fight. I found him quite awkward to land clean on, as he did me. He landed some great punches but it just wasn't his night.
"The ones who believed were very few. The ones who disbelieved were very large. We've been on a 27-year mission. Every left and right turn I've taken has led to this moment and I wasn't going to let it slip."
Asked why he threw so few right hands - Klitschko threw only 18 power punches in the entire fight - the beaten man replied: "My right hand was not injured. I should have thrown more right hands, but after throwing left hands, I couldn't find the distance and land as many as I wished.
"I wish I could have landed more clean shots. Tyson was quick with his hands and his body movement, and I couldn't land the right punches."
Fury said he would celebrate his win in sedate style with his family, including wife Paris, who found out on Friday she is pregnant with their third child.

"I packed up drinking and having a good time, all the things that are supposed to be the great things in life. I'm not interested in them," said Fury.
Vitali Klitschko, himself a former heavyweight world champion and now the mayor of Kiev, said he was shocked by how badly his younger brother performed.
"I know how good Wladimir is and Wladimir did not show how good he is," said Vitali. "I know his strengths but I couldn't see any of it.
"Maybe it was just a bad night and I'm quite sure Wladimir will take the rematch chance and show the world who the real Wladimir Klitschko is."
Fury's trainer, his uncle Peter, said his charge would get even better and predicted the result of the rematch would be the same.
"Tyson can raise his game. This was his first big test. Now he has come through that test, you will see more of his boxing ability," he said.
"You are seeing a future heavyweight sensation. We are looking forward to the rematch and if we have to come to Germany again, we will."
Both men landed punches on each other as they rode among a breakaway group of 13 riders on the 160.5km stage from San Martin del Rey Aurelio to La Farrapona.
Alberto Contador won the stage after seeing off Chris Froome on a summit finish to increase his overall lead to 96 seconds over Alejandro Valverde.
Briton Froome finished 14 seconds back.
Tinkoff-Saxo's Rovny needed a new pair of sunglasses from his support team after they were broken in the altercation with Brambilla.
Omega Pharma-Quick-Step rider Brambilla, 27, was in a leading group when he was forced to quit after a short discussion with race organisers, raising his arms up in the air in frustration.
A short time later Rovny, 26, also dropped out of the main pack after being told of his punishment by his team.
Brambilla apologised for his actions in a tweet posted later on Monday.
"I'm sorry. This situation shouldn't have happened. For my part in it, I apologize to #OPQS, race organizers, and the fans. #sadday," he wrote.
Contador's win saw him move a huge step closer to claiming his third Vuelta victory.
The Spaniard was able to go with Froome when the Team Sky rider made his move with just four kilometres remaining of the long climb to the finish line.
The two managed to distance themselves from the chasing Valverde and Joaquim Rodriguez but it was two-time Tour de France winner Contador who had the stronger finish.
"Today was a very good day for us," said Contador. "I had the power I needed, I managed to keep going with the pace imposed by Froome and when I saw my opportunity I took advantage of it."
Froome's strong ride saw him close to within three seconds of second-placed Valverde in the general classification.
After Tuesday's rest day, the race returns with a flat 190.7km ride from Ortigueira to A Coruna on Wednesday.

Edinburgh Napier University said the cladding was used on about a quarter of the external walls at Bainfield Halls.
However, it said there were non-combustible insulation materials behind the cladding, and that other fire prevention measures are in place.
The fire service said it was carrying out a full audit of the building.
At least 79 people are feared to have been killed in the blaze at Grenfell on 14 June.
Cladding from 95 towers in 32 local authority areas in England have failed fire safety tests which were carried out in the aftermath of the tragedy.
However, no local authority or housing association tower blocks in Scotland have been found to use the same material.
A spokesman for Edinburgh Napier University said it had launched a review of its buildings after the Grenfell blaze.
"A physical inspection identified that around a quarter of the exterior walls on one of our buildings - Bainfield Halls of residence - featured the same cladding reportedly used at Grenfell," he said.
"The insulation materials behind the Bainfield cladding panels are non-combustible, the panel hangings are all made of metal, the wall cavities are properly fire-stopped and the buildings are fitted with sprinklers.
"There are also a range of other fire safety measures in place, including each block having its own exit route, a modern fire alarm and smoke detection system that is tested weekly, and 24-hour on-site security."
She added: "Work has already begun to remove and replace the cladding as a precautionary measure, and we are working closely with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to ensure it is safe to continue to use the building as normal. Residents are not being evacuated."
The university intends to complete remedial work before students return for the start of the new academic year in September.
Napier University has a long-term lease on the building, which is owned by Standard Life Investments.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it was aware of the situation.
A spokeswoman said: "We have been in close contact with the university's fire safety adviser and our own fire safety enforcement officers will today carry out a full and thorough audit of the building."
Edinburgh Green councillor Gavin Corbett said: "Almost as soon as the Grenfell tragedy happened I had local queries about the cladding used on the buildings at Bainfield."
"This news will come as a great shock to the students in Bainfield and the wider community.
"It's obviously vital that the cladding is replaced urgently and that all fire safety and prevention steps are taken in the meantime. While the fire service advice appears to be that there is no need to evacuate, if there is even a sliver of doubt I believe the university must offer alternative accommodation for those students directly affected.
"One mercy is that the flats are relatively unoccupied at the moment because of the end of term which means that work can be done as quickly as possible.
The National Union of Students Scotland called for building inspections to be extended.
President Donnie Sandlan said: "It was encouraging to see the Scottish government announce a review of the safety of high-rise flats in Scotland following the tragic events at Grenfell Tower.
"However, in light of the worrying discovery that student halls at Edinburgh Napier University were built using the same cladding as Grenfell Tower, the remit of the government's investigations must be extended to include educational and student accommodation buildings.
"Students live in a range of accommodation, so any review into building safety absolutely has to take into account all university, college, and private student accommodation buildings."
Lawrie, who won the tournament in 2012, went one stroke better than his opening round to move to 11 under overall.
Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts is 10 under, with England's Andrew Johnston in a tie for third one shot further behind.
England's Tommy Fleetwood is eight under while Scots David Drysdale and Stephen Gallacher (even par) were among those to miss the cut.
Defending champion Branden Grace is in a clutch of players on seven under, with fellow South African and first-round leader Louis Oosthuizen six under.
The host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show will front the event, which is on Wednesday 29 October at The Hospital Club in London.
"It's a real honour to host the Mercury Prize awards show, which celebrates the best British talent that we have to offer," said Grimmy.
"I think it's a really interesting, exciting and pretty perfect shortlist."
He has appeared as part of Channel 4's coverage of the event before, hosting backstage interviews with the nominated artists.
Previously the role of presenter has gone to Lauren Laverne, who has now stepped down.
Nominees for this year's prize include Damon Albarn, FKA Twigs and Royal Blood.

Radio 1's Alice Levine revealed the shortlist, which features 10 artists, last month.
Previous winners of the prize, which recognises the best album by an artist from the United Kingdom and Ireland, include Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal and Alt-J.
Last year, when introducing award-winner James Blake, Laverne accidentally called him James Blunt.

Gary Campion was convicted of failing to declare a change in his circumstances to the Social Security Agency.
The 32-year-old rented out his south Belfast home for £350 a month while claiming £250 in housing benefit.
The extra money enabled him to move to move expensive accommodation.
It is believed to be the first criminal prosecution for tenancy fraud in Northern Ireland.
Belfast Magistrates' Court heard that after placing an advert on Gumtree a woman who responded paid more than £2,000 in rent and a deposit between June and December last year.
Campion, now with an address at Mount Merrion Drive in Belfast, also provided her with a rent book.
The woman only realised something was not right when a Housing Executive contractor called to service a gas boiler in the property in the Village area.
Campion denied any dishonesty, claiming he was told by the authority that he could sub-let in special circumstances.
The court heard how he no longer felt safe living in the house.
But the judge decided Campion must have known his actions were prohibited without written permission.
Imposing three-months imprisonment, suspended for a year, the judge said he had been found guilty of a dishonesty offence involving public money.
The judge told him: "We all know, unless we live in a bubble, that public money is extremely thin on the ground these days.
"Anyone who abuses money that is given for people in need is liable to be dealt with appropriately by the courts.
"In this case you dishonestly sub-let your Housing Executive house and managed to make an extra £100 a month as well as the housing benefit you were getting for it."
In his budget, UK Chancellor George Osborne unveiled a tax on the makers of sugary soft drinks, in a bid to tackle childhood obesity.
Mr Osborne said the money raised - equivalent to about 18p-24p per litre - would be spent on school sports.
Irn Bru makers Barr said they had already cut sugar levels.
Chief Executive Roger White said: "It is extremely disappointing that soft drinks have been singled out given it is the only food and drink category to have made any real progress in reducing sugar intake in recent years, down 13.6% since 2012.
"At AG Barr we have reduced the average calorific content across our brand range by 8.8% in just four years and are actively contributing to the soft drinks industry-wide five-year target to make a 20% reduction by 2020.
"We will await further details and ensure that we are fully involved in the consultation process to ensure our position, and progress to date, are well understood."
The sugar tax will be introduced in two years' time and will not apply to fruit juices or milk-based drinks.
The Scottish Grocers' Federation and the Food and Drink Federation are keen to point out that the majority of soft drinks now sold in the UK are actually low and no calorie.
They say soft drinks contributed 8.8% of household sugar consumption in 2015, down from 10.1% in 2011 - but it depends on how you define "sugar".
If you exclude things like bread and pasta and milk, then soft drinks are the single biggest source of sugar in the diet of Scots, followed by confectionary (12%) and biscuits, cakes and pastries (12%).
People in poorer households drink more sugary drinks than those in richer households (23% in the most deprived areas compared with 14% in the least deprived).
23%
sugary drinks in poorer households
14%
sugary drinks in richer households
17% non-diet soft drinks
12% confectionery
12% biscuits, cakes and pastries
The proposed tax will be levied in two bands:
Scottish Grocers' Federation chief executive Pete Cheema added: "This measure by the chancellor completely ignores the efforts taken by the soft drinks industry to reformulate their products, promote low or no calorie alternatives and the commitment not to advertise high sugar soft drinks to under-16s.
"Additionally - and of great concern to retailers - is that this is likely simply to pass on the cost to consumers This is despite the chancellor suggesting last year that the obesity problem would be best tackled in other ways."
Mr Osborne's sugar tax announcement was welcomed by TV chef Jamie Oliver, who has been campaigning for such a move.
He told BBC News it was "a big moment in child health" and a "symbolic slap" to business rather than "anti-business".
Obesity Action Scotland also welcomed the move, saying it was "an important step in tackling Scotland's obesity crisis and improving our national diet".
Programme lead Lorraine Tulloch said: "We hope this is the first of many bold and brave new initiatives to improve the diet of the people of Scotland.
"We must ensure the tax is stringent and effective and that the monies raised are invested in effective obesity prevention programmes in Scotland."
The Ulster University economists expect business investment will be delayed or cancelled as a result of policy uncertainty around the Brexit process.
However, they predict that consumer spending will remain solid, allowing the economy to avoid recession.
They caution the effects of Brexit and a Trump presidency mean "significant uncertainty" for forecasts.
The economists believe that as greater certainty emerges, growth rates will increase towards the end of this decade.
They expect the growth rate for 2016 to be just under 2%, which by recent standards is a reasonable performance.
The forecasts also predict that UK inflation will increase sharply to more than 3% in 2017 and will reach 4% in 2019.
In response, they expect interest rates to rise from their historic lows and reach 3% by 2019.
The president - who is facing impeachment in the national Congress - hinted that he was one of the ringleaders of a plot to overthrow her.
She said an audio message released on Monday by Mr Temer, whom she did not name, was evidence of the conspiracy.
In the message, Mr Temer appears to accept replacing her as president.
He also calls for a government of national unity.
Correspondents say that it implied that Ms Rousseff's impeachment had already happened. Mr Temer says the message was released by accident - his office said it was sent to aides erroneously.
In it he appears to be rehearsing an inaugural speech. The tape was run by Brazilian media hours before an important vote by a congressional committee to decide whether impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff should continue.
"Many people sought me out so that I would give at least preliminary remarks to the Brazilian nation, which I am doing with modesty, caution and moderation," he says on the recording.
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Brazil says that, given the fact that Mr Temer may also face impeachment proceedings, his words appear somewhat premature.
The public war between President Rousseff and her once trusted vice-president is an indication of how bitter Brazil's political crisis has become. Dilma Rousseff once referred to Michel Temer as "meu querido Michel" (My dear Michel). Today, without directly naming Mr Temer, she accused him of being the leader of a conspiracy.
As leader of the large, centre-right PMDB party, Mr Temer's support was a crucial factor in keeping Brazil's coalition government afloat. As the economic and political crisis deepened, the decision to withdraw from that coalition increased the likelihood of President Rousseff's impeachment.
Ms Rousseff and her allies have repeatedly accused opposition members of Congress, who are themselves accused of far more serious crimes than she is, of orchestrating a "coup" against her democratically elected government.
But in truth, with a flailing economy and a wide-ranging corruption scandal, this impeachment process has never really been about the relatively minor fiscal misdemeanours on which Ms Rousseff faces impeachment. After 12 years of leftist Workers' Party rule, her opponents see this as the best way of removing an unpopular president.

The 65-member congressional committee voted 38 to 27 to recommend going ahead with impeachment proceedings.
All eyes will now be on a full vote in the lower house starting on Sunday in the capital Brasilia.
Security will be stepped up around the Congress building, with thousands of police deployed in the area, local media report.
"They now are conspiring openly, in the light of day, to destabilise a legitimately elected president," Ms Rousseff said.
In an apparent reference to Vice-President Temer and lower house speaker Eduardo Cunha she referred to "the chief and... the vice-chief" of the plot.
The president said that one was guilty of "unimaginable abuses" in the impeachment process while the other was "rubbing his hands in glee while carrying out a farcical leak of an inaugural speech".
Brazil is "living in strange times", she said, "times of a coup, of farce and betrayal".
President Rousseff said she was shocked by the audacity of the leaked recording.
"One of the chief conspirators assumes the condition of president of the republic," she said.
She said the audio "reveals a betrayal of me and of democracy" and showed that Mr Temer had "arrogance and contempt for the people".
President Rousseff faces impeachment over allegations that she massaged deficit figures ahead of her election campaign two years ago - accusations she denies.
While her opponents say the impeachment is supported by most Brazilians, the president's supporters have labelled it a flagrant power grab by her political enemies.
If the president and Mr Temer are both suspended from office, the next in line to assume the presidency is Mr Cunha.
However, he is facing money-laundering and other charges.
Mr Temer was until recently a close ally of Ms Rousseff but his party has formally withdrawn from government as is now supporting calls for the president's impeachment, our correspondent says.
513 members of the lower house of Congress
342 votes needed to move process to the Senate
41 senators out of 81 must vote in favour to begin impeachment trial
180 days she could be suspended for during the hearings
Lower house vote: An impeachment vote is expected in the lower house on either Sunday or Monday. A two-thirds majority is required for it to go forward to the Senate. Latest surveys suggest the number in favour is short of the total needed to carry the motion.
Senate vote on trial: If Ms Rousseff case is sent to the Senate, a simple majority is enough to suspend her for up to 180 days while she is put on trial. Vice-President Michel Temer would step in during this period.
Impeachment vote: For Ms Rousseff to be removed from office permanently, two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favour. Mr Temer would remain president for an interim period should this happen.
Police were called just after 10:15 GMT on 14 January after reports of an "altercation" between the workers.
No injuries were reported and no formal complaint was received from either party, a spokesman said.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) said it was carrying out an internal investigation.
Carol Marubbi, president of Llandudno Hospital Action Group, said the alleged incident had taken place on the Morfa ward, which treats people recovering from strokes.
"I was appalled when I heard about this," she said. "You don't expect this sort of behaviour in a hospital, especially on a rehabilitation ward.
"The people there are so vulnerable. They've had strokes and brain injuries and to witness something like that, it's an utter disgrace."
A North Wales Police spokesman said: "We were called to reports that there had been an altercation between two members of staff at Llandudno Hospital earlier in the morning.
"This matter is now being dealt with by the hospital authorities and not North Wales Police."
A spokesman for BCUHB said: "We are aware of an alleged incident and are carrying out an internal investigation."
The 27-year-old, who is in the US squad for August's Rio Olympics, has been in seven NBA All-Star teams.
He will be joining the team who finished last season with an NBA record 73 regular-season wins.
"It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing," he said.
"The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always steered me in the right direction.
"But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth.
"With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors."
Durant's decision to join the team who were beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals last month has been met with an angry reaction from many basketball fans.
Durant tweeted in 2010: "Now everybody want to play for the Heat and the Lakers? Let's go back to being competitive and going at these peoples."
The tweet is now being widely shared as people perceive the Olympic gold-medal winner to have turned his back on his previous sentiments.
The Scottish scrum-half pulled on the famous jersey for the first match of the 2017 tour, emulating his uncle Roy, who played on the 1983 tour.
With the Blues up next on Wednesday, Laidlaw is keen for another run out.
"Now I have got the taste of it I want to get out there again," the 31-year-old Scot told the Lions' website.
"I am absolutely delighted and very honoured to have worn the jersey. Next time I get an opportunity I want to get out there and play again."
Anthony Watson's second-half try proved crucial in Whangarei as Warren Gatland's side survived a scare to win what was expected to be their most straightforward encounter of the 10-match tour.
Laidlaw, who kicked a crucial penalty, was just happy to get a victory.
"It was key to win and we left a fair few opportunities out there," he said. "I think it was four times that we were held up over the line.
"There was a big defensive effort in the second half, which was pleasing as well.
"It was tough, they played well. They were massively motivated and it was a World Cup final for them, wasn't it?
"We would be a lot more worried if we weren't creating opportunities, but we created a lot.
"Yes we were a bit rusty, of course we were, but I come back to the opportunities we created. On a different day we take them and the scoreline is a bit different. We have won the game so we are happy with that."
Laidlaw, who has made 58 appearances for Scotland, is confident the Lions will look a better outfit in the meeting with the Blues at Eden Park.
"Time together in the saddle will be very important now in training, putting together combinations and the team that goes out together on Wednesday, that is the next task in hand," he added.
"We need to make sure we go and win that now, we are off and running, one out of one so we are delighted with that.
"There were a lot of positive things from Gats (Gatland), he was delighted with the win and just wants to keep pressing on now, keep getting better day in, day out, and making sure next time we take the field we are a bit better so we can go on and win more games."
Frankie Donaldson admitted assaulting Jane Clarke on a number of occasions spanning almost a decade.
Police conducted a large-scale abuse inquiry after the 58-year-old was reported to them in 2013.
Their investigation uncovered years of violence during Donaldson's 22-year relationship with Ms Clarke.
Donaldson, of Possilpark, Glasgow, hit his partner with a wet towel before throttling her with it. He also threw a dumbbell at her - but hit a wall.
On one occasion, a child in the house was so concerned that he hit Donaldson with a lamp in a bid stop him hitting Ms Clarke on the face with a car key.
The court was told of other incidents of Ms Clarke being pulled from a bed, held by the throat, punched, pulled by the ears and hit with a mobile phone and remote control.
Earlier this year at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Donaldson pled guilty to nine charges of assault.
Seven were against Ms Clarke between January 2005 and June 2013, and two were against her sister Elizabeth Harrison in March 2001 and October 2004.
Donaldson and Ms Clarke lived together during their relationship.
Procurator fiscal depute Harry Findlay told the court Donaldson was reported to police in December 2013 and it was passed to the domestic abuse investigations unit which then broadened its scope to look a earlier incidents.
Jailing Donaldson for 26 months, Sheriff Joan Kerr said: "I have reached the conclusion that the offences are so grave that no suitable alternative to a custodial sentence is possible."
She also imposed a four-year non-harassment order meaning Donaldson cannot contact Ms Clarke in any way during that period.
Germany is in line with that: growth but not very strong. Both Germany and the eurozone as a whole have come in at 0.3% growth for the final three months of last year.
But has Germany, which is the eurozone's largest economy, actually been a drag on the region more widely?
There is an argument that Germany's large and persistent pattern of exporting far more than it imports is holding back the whole eurozone.
The context for this is the eurozone financial crisis.
To understand why some regard Germany as a problem we need to start with the countries that were most hit by the financial storms.
Several have had to make difficult and unpopular adjustments: austerity to improve government finances and economic reforms to enhance growth in the longer run.
Many economists say austerity has been a headwind holding back the recovery, although there is a contrary view that it can sometimes support a return to growth.
Whatever the economic arguments, there have certainly been political strains.
Several eurozone governments following austerity policies have faced protests on the streets and at the ballot box.
But could it have been a little easier?
That is where Germany comes in. There certainly is a view that Germany has in effect made it harder than it need have been.
How so? Germany surely is the seat of eurozone financial prudence and virtue? Well, there is a case that those features of Germany are a problem for the others.
Here's why.
The most obvious features of the eurozone crisis were banks under strain, governments struggling to borrow and housing market busts in some countries.
But there were also massive trade and financial imbalances between countries.
In the years before the crisis the countries most severely hit ran increasingly large deficits in what's called their "current accounts".
That includes exports and imports of goods and services and a limited range of financial transfers.
A deficit like that needs to be financed by funds from abroad. When things were going well that was easy enough.
Foreign banks lent money and investors bought financial assets, including government bonds or debt, which is in effect lending money.
But that process was severely disrupted by the eurozone financial crisis as the soundness of banks and governments in the crisis countries came to be questioned.
They had to adjust. With those financial flows disrupted they had to have lower current account deficits, or even surpluses. And they have.
All the eurozone countries that received bailouts had large current account deficits ahead of the crisis.
In Greece, Portugal and Cyprus it peaked at somewhere between 12-15% of national income or GDP. In Spain it was close to double figures and in Ireland a still hefty 5.7%.
All now have a surplus except Cyprus where the deficit has declined.
Now here's an important piece of economic arithmetic. For the whole world, current accounts must balance - a surplus in one is balanced by a deficit somewhere else.
It follows that the change from deficit to surplus in Greece, Portugal and the others must be reflected in a move in the opposite direction in other countries.
The obvious place to look for that is within the eurozone, to those countries that had surpluses ahead of the crisis.
That includes Austria, Finland and the Netherlands. But the really big one was, you might have guessed, Germany.
So has Germany's surplus declined as the crisis countries adjusted? No, it has got bigger, from 5.6% of GDP in 2010 to 8.5% last year.
There has been an adjustment corresponding to the new surpluses in Greece and others. But it's outside the eurozone.
In 2010, the eurozone was more or less in balance with the rest of the world now it has a substantial surplus.
To put it the other way round, the rest of the world now has a hefty deficit with the eurozone.
Many argue that it would have been easier for the crisis countries to adjust if Germany's surplus had fallen.
What that would have meant in practice is that Germany would have bought more goods and services from the rest of the eurozone.
Germany's persistent and even rising current account surplus means that the burden of adjustment has fallen largely on the crisis countries so that they import less than they would otherwise have done.
In fact there have been some marked falls in imports, in the case of Greece for five consecutive years.
Perhaps with a stronger demand from Germany they would have been able to grow quicker, which in turn might have helped repair their government finances more quickly and had less adverse an impact on living standards.
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the Daily Telegraph is especially critical: "The surplus is …surely more dangerous for eurozone unity than anything going on in Greece."
To be clear this is not a case of criticising German industry for producing high quality goods that others want to buy.
Daniel Gros of the Centre for European Policy Studies explains: "A strict economic view of the situation would be different: the large current account surplus reflects an excess of domestic savings over domestic investment."
This is a central point.
A current account balance is related to the government finances - a government deficit tends to push the current account towards deficit - and also the amount that a country saves and invests.
If you save more than you invest and if the government spends less than it gets in tax, you have a current account surplus.
So one option would be for the German government to spend more, or tax less. Could it afford to do so? It has had a surplus in its finances since 2012 and the burden of accumulated government debt is not particularly large.
Daniel Gros suggests that there's a case for more public investment in infrastructure. Some in Germany even use expressions like "crumbling infrastructure". It must seem an exaggeration to most foreign visitors, but there is an active debate.
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the Daily Telegraph is more acerbic: "The sooner Germany abandons fiscal fetishism and invests its own money in its own country for its own good, the better it will be for everybody."
The idea being that if Germany saved less some of the extra spending would go abroad - on imported goods, paying workers who might take foreign holidays or foreign workers might be employed who would send some money home.
Still, the German surplus is often seen as a sign of the country's economic prowess.
Jens Weidmann, president of the Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, called the country's balanced government budget a success.
"It would be absurd to discuss measures aimed at artificially weakening Germany's competitiveness in order to reduce current account surpluses vis-a-vis the other euro-area countries."
The scale of Germany's surplus does also reflect the fact that it, like the rest of the eurozone has had some benefit from the recent weakness of the euro, improving its competitiveness.
Whatever the reasons, and however you allocate any blame, it's likely the figures coming soon will show a recovery in the eurozone that's still distinctly lacking in vigour.
William Cameron, 38, is accused of killing Darryl Fitch at Locher Water, Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, between 10 July and 13 July, 2015.
Prosecutors allege he struck Mr Fitch with a blunt instrument, or against a hard surface, and repeatedly inflicted blunt force trauma to his head.
Mr Cameron is also accused of stealing a mobile phone.
He faces further charges of possessing cannabis resin, Diazepam, Temazepam and Oxazepam.
Mr Cameron denied all the charges against him at the High Court in Glasgow and judge Lord Beckett fixed a trial date for September.
State department spokesman John Kirby said the phone conversations involved foreign ministers of both countries and the Saudi deputy crown prince.
Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran on Sunday after protesters ransacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
Protests erupted after Saudi Arabia executed a senior Shia Muslim cleric.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran are major rivals in the Middle East and back opposing sides in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.
In his calls, Mr Kerry stressed the importance of pushing forward on a peace deal for Syria, Mr Kirby told a news conference.

"One of the key things on his mind is de-escalate the tensions, restore some sense of calm, encourage dialogue and engagement between these countries, but also to make the point there are other pressing issues in the region," Mr Kirby said.
"Not letting the Vienna process [on Syrian peace talks] stall or fall backward is clearly top on his list," he said.
On Tuesday, Kuwait said it was recalling its ambassador from Tehran, describing the attack on the Saudi embassy there as a "flagrant breach of international norms".
Saudi allies Bahrain and Sudan broke off diplomatic relations with Iran on Monday and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has also downgraded its diplomatic team in Tehran.
On Monday, the UN Security Council issued a strongly worded statement condemning the attack on the Saudi embassy - making no mention of the execution of Shia Muslim cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and 46 others on terrorism charges.
Turkey has also called for calm, warning that the feud could worsen regional tensions.
Iran has responded angrily to the diplomatic moves, insisting it had no hand in the violent protests that followed the execution.
President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia could not "hide its crime of beheading a religious leader by severing political relations with Iran".

The promise was made by Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney at his party's conference in Glasgow.
The rate would apply to those earning more than £150,000 - which matches Labour party policy.
Mr Swinney said the Scottish government wanted to bring an end to what he called the "moral obscenity" of poverty.
He promised that the Holyrood administration would deliver opportunities for "every one of our people to make their way in the world".
Mr Swinney, who is the country's finance secretary, added: "And fairness extends to taxation. This afternoon, our Deputy Leader Stewart Hosie will set out just some of the arguments we will make to deliver fairness at Westminster, some of the policies for which we will argue, including a return of the 50p rate of income tax.
"Your SNP Government has worked hard to win the trust of our people. We have done that by keeping faith with their hopes and aspirations.
"Your SNP government has worked hard to earn a reputation for competence. We have done that by careful management of our public finances and by effective stewardship of major projects.
"Your SNP Government has a record of delivering for the people. We have done that by keeping our promises and being straight with the people.
"And your SNP Government has the ambition to tackle inequality and grow the Scottish economy."
He said the party wanted to take Scotland on a journey to "being the nation it should be".
The accident, involving two HGVs and five cars, happened just before 14:00 BST on the southbound carriageway near Michaelwood services on Saturday.
A 23-year-old man from Coventry suffered serious head injuries and is in a critical condition in Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
A woman, 19, in the same car, was taken to Southmead with pelvic injuries.
Inspector Frazer Davey said: "The rescue of the driver and passenger of the most damaged car took some considerable time due to the severity of the impact and the subsequent damage to the car.
"The two occupants of that vehicle were taken to hospital where miraculously their injuries are non-life threatening."
Gloucestershire Police said they wanted to speak to any witnesses who have not yet contacted them, which included "at least one person who was stood on the nearby footbridge and witnessed the entire incident."
The southbound carriageway was closed until 21:20 BST but all lanes on both carriageways are now open.
The independent arbitrator investigated 211 such complaints in a year.
Among them is the case of a 80-year-old woman, repeatedly sent home in a confused state to an empty house, only to be readmitted to hospital when neighbours raised the alarm.
The NHS says the findings will be taken seriously and improvement is under way.
The report shows that some of the most vulnerable patients, including frail and elderly people, are enduring harrowing ordeals when they leave hospital.
And that poor planning, co-ordination and communication between hospital staff and between health and social care services are failing patients, compromising their safety and dignity.
One patient, a woman in her late 90s, died in her granddaughter's arms shortly after being sent home from hospital in an ambulance, without a proper examination.
And a hospital transferred a distressed elderly woman to a nursing home in "a dishevelled state" with a tube (cannula) still in her arm.
One complaint to the ombudsman was from a family whose mother had been left in her home with no food, drink or bedding, unable to care for herself or get to the toilet.
Another was from a daughter whose frail mother, Pam, spent months in and out of hospital before her death.
Pam, born Alma Waller, was 80 when she died. In the months leading up to her death in 2012, she was sent home from hospital several times.
She lived alone and had Parkinson's disease and dementia. She was frail and unstable on her feet.
After initially being admitted to hospital following a fall, she was discharged and readmitted three times over a three-month period.
Her daughter, Angela Little, from Stevenage, says she still has nightmares about the poor care her mum received.
"She was an infirm old lady and the hospital still sent her home. The ambulance driver had to carry her in because she was so weak.
"I drove from my house, which is 40 minutes away, and I found this little old lady hunched in a chair shaking. She was absolutely terrified."
Angela says her mother had contemplated ending her own life because she was so distraught.
Pam was admitted to another hospital where she stayed until her death three weeks later.
Angela says: "I still can't believe what happened. Things need to change."
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) Julie Mellor said: "Health and social care leaders must work harder to uncover why 10 years of guidance to prevent unsafe discharge is not being followed, causing misery and distress for patients, families and carers."
The body that produces guidelines - the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - said its recommendations were clear and should be followed.
The Department of Health said the failings were unacceptable and it would ensure "lessons are learnt".
The PHSO report outlines four main issues:
The PHSO investigated 221 complaints - an increase of over a third in the previous year. Over half of these were upheld or partly upheld.
A spokesman from NHS Improvement said patients should never be discharged from hospital without the appropriate safeguards in place.
But he said neither should patients remain stuck in hospital.
"Rather than frail elderly people staying in hospital longer than they need to, it is better to get patients home as quickly as possible and to assess them in their own homes rather than in a hospital - but this must be done with the right help and support in place."
Phil McCarvill from the NHS Confederation, which represents NHS providers and commissioners, said: "The experiences of the people in this report were unacceptable and we know that everyone in the NHS will take the findings seriously."
The charity Independent Age said: "The individual cases highlighted by this report are tragic in their own right, but they are also a sign of a health service under severe strain."
The Royal College of Nursing said it was hard for staff to consistently provide high quality, safe patient care without the right resources.

It was the first nation in Latin America to establish a welfare state, maintained through relatively high taxes on industry, and developed a democratic tradition that earned it the sobriquet "the Switzerland of South America".
But economic and political turmoil, in particular left-wing urban guerrilla attacks in the early 1970s, led the government of the day to suspend the constitution and launch a period of repressive military rule that lasted until 1985.
Since the restoration of democratic government, successive governments have liberalised the economy. Colonial towns, beach resorts and a year-round mild climate have contributed to a growing tourist industry.

Mr Vazquez's decisive victory in the 2014 run-off presidential election over right-wing challenger Luis Lacalle Pou cemented left-wing rule for another five years.
A cancer doctor by profession, Tabare Vazquez served as president in 2005-2010, being succeeded by his party colleague Jose Mujica. Uruguayan presidents do not serve consecutive terms.
Mr Vazquez pledged to focus more attention on improving education standards and fighting crime, while maintaining the generous social welfare policies of Mr Mujica.

Research published by the Royal Society uses friendly bacteria as a Trojan horse to deliver a "switch off" command to certain genes inside insects.
This can control insect populations which threaten human health or crops.
Prof Paul Dyson of Swansea University Medical School called it a "significant advance".
The technique involves so-called Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) which silences or "turns down" genes.
So far it has been used on the Kissing bug - blood-sucking bugs which carry parasites that cause Chagas disease.
This affects up to eight million people in central and south America.
Known as kissing bugs as they tend to settle on people's faces at night, RNAi reduced fertility in this bug by up to 100%.
It has also been used on Western Flower Thrips, an invasive crop pest which has developed resistance to pesticides.
The scientists are exploiting a relationship which has evolved between the insects and the host bacteria - but they add a little bit of extra genetic information which can "switch off" the target insect gene so that larvae fail to develop or the adult fails to produce eggs.
Prof Dyson said: "The bacteria release the information and it's absorbed by the insect gut into the haemolymph - equivalent to our blood circulatory system - and then spreads throughout the insect body.
"The information can then trigger RNAi in a specific tissue, for example preventing production of the protein necessary for viable eggs being produced in female 'kissing bugs', or preventing larvae growing in the case of thrips."
The results showed declines in fertility of up to 100% and an increase in the mortality rate of larvae of 60%, among the insects studied.
The Swansea team has already been to Brazil and hopes to use the technique with Aedes mosquitoes which carry the Zika virus to stop adult-biting females from emerging.
The infection is suspected of leading to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains.
The World Health Organization has declared a global public health emergency.
Prof Dyson said RNAi offers a more targeted approach to insect control, without use of pesticides or environmental damage.
It has been looked at before but delivering it effectively has been a drawback - with injections taking time and money.
Using "friendly" bacteria instead to do the work is seen as a significant breakthrough and one which is transferable to many species.
Insect expert Dr Miranda Whitten of Swansea University's Medical School said: "The symbiotic bacteria basically do all the hard work for us - they are programmed to manufacture the RNAi molecules inside the insect's body, for as long as needed, and they do this without being detected by the insect's immune system."
There has been discussion on the effect on mosquito populations of eradicating those causing human harm but scientists believe native non-blood feeding varieties can fill the gap.
Director Neil MacGregor told The Times the museum was trying to protect antiquities taken from conflict zones.
And he called on the government to sign up to an international convention to protect cultural artefacts.
"We are playing a significant part in holding objects that have been illegally exported," he said.
"We did that in Afghanistan and are now returning them. We are holding an object we know was illegally removed from Syria and one day it will go back."
The destruction of museums, artefacts and archaeological sites amidst the Syrian conflict has been called "the worst cultural disaster since the Second World War".
Islamic State (IS) militants have been accused of looting and selling Syria's cultural heritage to raise funds, leading to a UN ban in the trade of artefacts from the country.
There are fears IS may destroy the 2,000-year-old Roman-era ruins in Palmyra after militants over-ran the town last week.
Syrian officials said they had moved hundreds of Palmyra's statues to safety prior to the IS takeover but could not transfer large monuments.
But across Syria, volunteers have risked their lives to preserve and protect irreplaceable monuments and mosaics, many of which date back to the 1st and 2nd Century; while civilians have turned over thousands of ancient artefacts for safekeeping.
The British Museum said it could not reveal which Syrian artefact it was holding.
"The question of whether we should help with the conservation and preservation of another country's heritage is serious," MacGregor said.
"There is a significant international agreement, the Hague Convention about the protection of cultural property in war zones. Only one country in the security council hasn't ratified it, the UK."
Several leading figures have called on the government to ratify the convention, while Labour's shadow culture secretary, Chris Bryant, says the party is committed to prompt ratification.
"I am at a loss to understand why the government has not done so. We shall be pushing them on this throughout this parliament," he said.
A spokesman for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the government would seek to legislate on the convention "as soon as parliamentary time allows".
Antoine Denive, 27, was detained in a joint Franco-Spanish raid on a house in Malaga, Madrid authorities say.

In all, 17 people were killed in three days of Islamist violence in Paris.
Spain's interior ministry said two other suspects from Serbia and Montenegro were detained during the raid on a building in the Rincon de la Victoria area of Malaga on Tuesday.
The French suspect, from the Pas de Calais region of north-west France, was said to have had ties to Serbs who may have provided him with arms and ammunition.
He appeared before a judge in Madrid on Wednesday and denied the charges. Unconfirmed reports said he had agreed to be extradited to France.

In a survey of 1,260 first-time mothers by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT), under half said they got the advice and support needed after giving birth.
The parenting charity said the survey showed a "shocking" level of postnatal care and warned the NHS had to improve.
The Royal College of Midwives said more money should be invested in maternity services.
The survey was carried out online between October 2009 and January 2010 on a self-selecting group of women who had given birth in the previous 12 months.
The majority of those who completed the survey had given birth in hospital and 95% were NCT members.
The survey found that 42% of mothers thought there were "sometimes" or "never" enough midwives to help them in hospital.
And while 56% said they got all the physical care they required, only 45% said they got all the information and advice they needed.
Guidance from NICE (the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence) says all women should have a personalised postnatal care plan, yet 96% said they did not have one.
Clare Perriss, who lives in Dorset, had a traumatic time giving birth to her daughter Emily, now nearly two-years-old.
A long, painful labour was followed by an emergency caesarean.
Thirty-six hours later, having not seen a doctor since the operation, she was moved to a postnatal ward.
"But I didn't see any midwives again. I was in a very vulnerable position, I was shell-shocked and trying to recover from abdominal surgery and I had difficulty breast-feeding - but nobody was checking on me or offering support."
Less than 72 hours after the birth, she was at home dealing with a screaming, colicky baby.
"I saw lots of different midwives at home but never saw the same one twice.
"They all had different viewpoints so although the physical care I received at home was good, there was no emotional or psychological support.
"I could feel myself tipping back into postnatal depression."
In the end it was a year before Clare started to feel better.
"There needs to be a special type of care which caters for women who've gone through a traumatic birth or pregnancy," she says.
"I feel that my midwives were trained to recognise postnatal depression but not to help me through it."
Postnatal care: New mums' views
Of the women surveyed, 52% had given birth with forceps, ventouse or by caesarean section, which is slightly higher than the latest figures for women who had operative births in England in 2007-2008 (48%).
These women generally have the greatest needs when it comes to postnatal care, but the survey found that they experienced the biggest gaps in care.
Of mothers who had a caesarean, 43% said their emotional needs were not met within 24 hours to a month after the birth.
And 30% who had a caesarean found that midwives were only kind and understanding some of the time, or never.
Postnatal care in a birth centre or after birth at home was rated more positively.
Support for baby feeding is a recurring topic for many new mothers, but less than half said they got all the help and support they need in the early days.
Anne Fox, head of campaigns and public policy at the National Childbirth Trust, said postnatal care urgently needed improvement.
"Our report paints a dreadful, shocking picture of care in the UK - we're letting women and their babies down. Evidence shows that supporting women and babies at this vital time can have a major impact on future health and learning."
She added: "Many of the problems these women highlight seem to be due to staff shortages or lack of visits once they had left hospital - and this issue needs to be addressed if the quality of postnatal care is to be improved, particularly for vulnerable women."
Louise Silverton, deputy general secretary of the Royal College of Midwives, said: "This report paints a disappointing picture of postnatal care.
"The extra money and additional midwives from the previous government, whilst very welcome, still leaves us playing catch-up with the birth-rate, and we are still a long way short of bridging the gap."
A spokesperson for the Department of Health said it was working to improve the quality of maternity care and extend the choices available to every pregnant woman, and to recruiting an extra 4,200 health visitors to help support to women after birth.
Mr Zuckerberg said he asked the actor, who was chosen by the public, after an awards ceremony earlier this month.
The Facebook co-founder coded the AI assistant - called Jarvis, after the butler in Iron Man - for his home.
If he decides to release it to the public, people would relate differently to a famous voice than more robotic sounding assistants, tech experts said.
Mr Zuckerberg asked his Facebook followers to pick the voice after building artificial intelligence to help him around the house.
He told tech news site Fast Company that he called Mr Freeman after the actor presented the Breakthrough Awards, a science prize co-founded by Mr Zuckerberg.
"I said, 'Hey, I posted this thing, and... thousands of people want you to be the voice. Will you do it?'"
Mr Freeman's answer was "yeah, sure", he added.
Robert Downey Jr, who plays Iron Man, had offered to voice Jarvis, while Arnold Schwarzenegger features as an alternative, disciplinarian voice in jokey videos released by Mr Zuckerberg this week.
Experts in human-computer interaction said Morgan Freeman, whose roles have included God in Evan Almighty and the narrator in March of the Penguins, would distinguish Jarvis from existing AI assistants.
Celebrity voices add to the "novelty effect" and might make it more enjoyable to interact with an AI assistant, said Dr Simone Stumpf, a senior lecturer at City University in London.
"If a user is more engaged, then they might also be forgiving of mistakes, interact more - and thus provide more training data for the AI to get it right - and are less likely to abandon it," she told the BBC.
Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Google Home are bringing smart assistants into the mainstream.
Morgan Freeman would be a different offering because he is more of a "grandfather figure" than a friend, said Dr Bernie Hogan of the Oxford Internet Institute.
"We do know people project emotions on to their computers," he said. "We've been anthropomorphising these things for years."
Research indicates it is often the attitude of AI, rather than the voice, which annoys people, said Yorick Wilks, professor of Artificial Intelligence at Sheffield University.
"It may just be the user needs to choose voice, as they can now with Sat-nav, and also the personality of assistant or change it at different times," he said.
AI companies have also faced criticism for favouring female voices for the assistants.
"The 'gender' of AI assistants has had its recent controversies, with some accusations of sexism aimed at companies who have chosen female voices, particularly where perceptions of their subservience or even sexual undertones may exist," said Dr Rich Picking of Glyndwr University.
Still, it could be a while before users are interacting with the dulcet tones of Mr Freeman in their homes.
Mr Zuckerberg said he thought about opening up the Jarvis code, but decided "it's currently too tightly tied to [his] own home".
The Singapore-based 53-year-old uses an app on his mobile phone to keep a close eye on his various projects around the world, such as a new luxury apartment building in New York.
"When I'm in Singapore there's a 12-hour time difference [with New York], so before I go to bed at night, I check on it through this app," says Mr Chan.
The app connects to video cameras, which give him a real time view of construction work.
He adds: "I can even zoom in and look closely at the welding."
The founder and design director of Singapore-based SCDA Architects, Mr Chan has over the past 20 years built up a business that today employs more than 100 architects and designers.
Its past projects around the world range from luxury hotel resorts in Bali and the Caribbean, the National Design Centre in Singapore, a shopping centre in Beijing, a government building in New Delhi, to private houses from France to Malaysia.
It is quite an achievement for an architect who built the company without the need for outside investors, after starting out with just five members of staff.
Born in Penang, Malaysia, before being raised in Singapore, Mr Chan says his first work as an architect was building things with Lego bricks as a small child.
He also remembers from his young childhood that he was fascinated by watching his family's new home being constructed.
Yet despite this early interest in architecture, his family had other hopes for him. "In Asia there are three professions - lawyer, doctor and accountant," says Mr Chan.
But determined to study architecture after leaving school, he travelled to the US where he did a degree in the subject at the prestigious Yale University in Connecticut.
Mr Chan subsequently spent two years in New York, working for architectural firm Kohn Pederson Fox.
The lure of home then saw him return to Singapore, where in 1995 he started SCDA Architects.
Mixing both Asian and Western design, Mr Chan has developed his own style, which he calls "neo-tropical architecture", and which often aims to blur the lines between the inside and outside of a building, often utilising - in very simple terms - lots of courtyards.
Mr Chan says that the practice has grown slowly but steadily over the years.
While most staff are based at the headquarters in Singapore, some are located in Shanghai and New York.
And despite his reputation for attention to detail, and regular visits to the other two offices, Mr Chan says he knows the importance of delegating.
"I focus on the bigger picture, and then come in and look selectively at the small, important details. I then find that the middle bit takes care of itself," he says.
He adds that he relies on key employees to handle the day-to-day functioning of the company, confident that everyone at the firm speaks "the same design language".
"We share the same thinking about how you design and use space."
Married, and with no less than six sons, Mr Chan's latest big development at work is the Soori High Line apartment building, which is currently being built in Manhattan, New York.
He says it is a "big moment" for him, as it will be the first building he has built in the city where he began his working life as an architect.
The luxury scheme has raised eyebrows in the Big Apple because 16 of the building's 31 apartments will have their own private, indoor swimming pools, something of a rarity in the city.
"The pools are definitely the highlight," says Mr Chan, who has already built apartment blocks in East Asia with private pools.
"It certainly evokes a reaction, you either like it, or you think it's a bit crazy. People think - it's a pool. Do I swim every day? How do I maintain it?
"But true luxury means never having to worry about all these practicalities.
"The risk is not in the making of it, but in culturally getting everyone - even my own salespeople and consultants - on board."
The building is due to be finished in 2016, and Mr Chan is confident it will be a sell-out. The prices of the apartments range from $3m (£2m) to $22m.
A river, swollen by raging monsoon floodwaters, had torn down a bridge on the main road between Mumbai and Goa.
More than 30 people are thought to have died when the great stone structure crashed into the torrent, taking with it two buses and a number of cars.
Some of the bodies were swept more than 60 miles downriver in two days.
We produced a short news report.
In the heart-wrenchingly brutal calculus of the newsroom, this isn't a major story. But zoom out, and you begin to see the outlines of a much bigger and more worrying picture.
India, indeed the whole South Asia region, has been riding a rollercoaster of extreme weather.
The summer monsoon is the most productive rain system in the world, and this year the region is experiencing a strong one. The floods it caused have affected more than 8.5 million people; more than a million are living in temporary shelters; some 300 people have been killed.
Though what really caught people's interest was the three baby rhinos rescued from the waters in the north Indian state of Assam.
The fact that 17 adult rhinos drowned got rather less attention.
But the important point is that the region is awash with water. Just a few months ago, it was a very different story. The previous two monsoons were unusually weak. The result was a terrible drought in northern India, and parts of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
And it was exacerbated by another extreme weather event - record heat.
India experienced its highest temperature ever this summer, a blistering 51C.
Rivers ran dry; water holes evaporated; reservoirs became dusty plains. And, once again, the statistics were staggering.
More than 300 million people were affected by water shortages - the equivalent of the entire population of the US. A city of half a million people was left completely dry. It had to rely on supplies brought in by train.
As if that weren't bad enough, in spite of the drought, the country was hit by a series of unseasonal rain and hailstorms. They caused such terrible damage to crops that some farmers were driven to suicide.
All these examples of extreme weather were widely reported, rightly so. What tended not to be discussed was the underlying cause.
We are all interested in weather; few of us want to be told - once again - that our lifestyles are disrupting the global climate. Yet the truth is that many climatologists believe the monsoon, always fickle, is becoming even more erratic as a result of global warming.
The picture in the last couple of years is complicated by the fact that the world has been experiencing a particularly strong El Nino, the periodic weather variation caused by warming of the sea in the Pacific.
But a series of long-term studies have shown the number of extreme rainfall events in South Asia increasing while low-to-moderate events are decreasing. And increasingly erratic and extreme weather is precisely what scientists expect climate change will bring.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted "rainfall patterns in peninsular India will become more and more erratic, with a possible decrease in overall rainfall, but an increase in extreme weather events".
Since the monsoon accounts for as much as three-quarters of rainfall in some areas, any change is a huge issue. The more extreme the storms, the more likely we are to see more tragedies like the shattered bridge I visited this week.
Now, since you've read this far, I hope you'll excuse me if I take a moment to ram my point home a little harder because there is growing evidence that climate change isn't just restricted to South Asia.
Ask anyone who follows the issue and they'll tell you that this year is already well on the way towards becoming the hottest ever. The previous record was last year; before that it was 2014. In fact, the 11 warmest years have occurred since 1998.
I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about the weather, just that we need to talk about the climate too.
The 19-year-old released by Celtic as a youth is in Gordon Strachan's squad eight months after joining Dundee United from The Spiders.
"It's been a quick progression, but I always knew I could do it. It was just getting given that chance," he said.
"Luckily, the gaffer at United gave me that chance, I think I've repaid him."
Robertson has impressed for Jackie McNamara's side this season, with the left-back also proving a goalscoring threat against Premiership defences.
"My performances for United I believe have been good enough," said the defender.
"When I was younger, I was watching these players playing and breaking through, so it's good to be meeting up with them and obviously they are experienced players, you can learn a lot from them.
Nobody could have imagined how quick I've progressed, but I wouldn't want it to be any other way
"I'm just enjoying being called up and enjoying the experience.
"In my older years, I hope to be pushing for a start and trying to make it my own position, but now I'm just glad to be involved with the first team and learning every day."
This time last year, Robertson was playing for Queen's Park when they lost at Hampden 2-1 to Montrose. Asked if he would have believed then that he would be in the Scotland squad 12 months later, he said: "I would have probably just laughed at them to be honest. I actually remember that game well. We played terrible.
"Nobody could have imagined how quick I've progressed, but I wouldn't want it to be any other way."
Scotland assistant boss Mark McGhee said the coaching staff had been impressed by Robertson.
"I saw what Gordon saw when he came to training," said McGhee. "We were hugely impressed with the lad's ability and enthusiasm and confidence for such a young lad who had come so recently from where he's come from.
"We've monitored him, we have kept in touch with the people around him and he's been playing consistently well all season; we don't have any fears that, if he is involved in some way, he won't do well for us.
"We're excited by him, we're delighted for him, he's a young lad and I think it shows that Gordon is prepared to play and include them young if they are good enough.
"It is a great message to the others and there is an exciting opportunity come the autumn."
Bryant, 37, regarded as one of the greatest basketball players in history, announced this week he would retire at the end of the NBA season.
The two-time Olympic gold medallist has been hindered by injuries in recent seasons but said he would "love to play" in Rio if fit enough.
"If my body can't do it, there's no sense doing it," he said.
The five-time NBA champion has scored 32,734 points during a 20-year career with the Lakers to rank third on the NBA's all-time list.
Bryant, who won gold with the US team in 2008 and 2012, told ESPN Radio: "I would love nothing more than to be in an international environment and be around some of the other great athletes one more time."

Should the Lakers fail to make the end-of-season play-offs, Bryant's final game is set to be at home against Utah on 13 April. The Olympics will be held four months later, between 5-21 August.
He is one of 34 players in the US men's national team pool, from which only 12 can be selected for Rio.
Bryant announced this season would be his last in a poem in the Players Tribune entitled 'Dear Basketball'.
"My body knows it's time to say goodbye," he said. "This season is all I have left to give."
The Resolution Foundation also says pensioners are more likely than their predecessors to be working, own a home and have generous private pensions.
The think tank says growth in pensioner incomes has been coupled with weak income growth for working-age people.
Pensioner households are now £20 a week better off than working age households, but were £70 a week worse off in 2001.
Reality Check: Are pensioners better off than workers?
Pensions, parents and children: Am I better off?
However, the report, called As Time Goes By, adds: "This strong growth is not the result of a boom time for all pensioners, with most finding that their personal situation changes little from year to year. "
It says while typical incomes across the pensioner population have grown by more than 30% since 2001, the typical income of someone who turned 65 in that year was only 7% higher by 2014.
Adam Corlett, economic analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: "The main driver of pensioner income growth has been the arrival of successive new waves of pensioners, who are more likely to work, own their home and have generous private pension wealth than any previous generation.
"Of course, not all pensioners can draw on these income sources, which is why the state pension will always be the main income for many pensioners.
"We can't assume either that young people today will be able to draw upon the kind of wealth that recent pensioners have accumulated, given the recent fall in home ownership and decline in generous defined benefit schemes."
The report identifies four key drivers of growth in typical pensioner incomes since the 2000s.
These are: the possession of occupational pensions, a growth in the numbers in employment, increased state benefits, and a move towards home ownership from renting.
But the Resolution Foundation warns that future generations of pensioners cannot assume that they will benefit from further gains from these income sources.
Other findings include:
Lord David Willetts - an executive chair of the Resolution Foundation and former Conservative minister - said that the "triple-lock" pension policy of successive governments should be reviewed.
The triple-lock guarantees pensions rise by the same as average earnings, the consumer price index, or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.
"Of course there has to be some kind of framework for increasing the state pension," he told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
"But the [triple-lock] is a very powerful ratchet pushing up pensions at a time when incomes of the less affluent half of working households are barely rising at all."
He added: "I actually think pensioners worry about their kids and grandchildren. They don't want to live in a society where all the big increases in incomes are accruing to pensioners and other groups are being left behind."
He said the government needed to look at ways of improving younger people's "pension rights" and chances of owning their own homes.
"These are all things that have enabled today's pensioners to be so prosperous," he said.
He also suggested the presidential race was looking like a "rigged election".
The comments came in the wake of a string of sex assault claims against him and the publication of a recording in which he made obscene remarks.
Polls suggest Mr Trump is losing ground in some of the key battleground states.
Speaking at a rally in New Hampshire, Mr Trump said Mrs Clinton had been "all pumped up" at the beginning of the last debate but could "barely reach her car" at the end.
"We should take a drugs test," he said.
He did not provide any evidence to back up his claim.
He's nicknamed her Crooked Hillary, said he would put her in prison if he was elected president, described her as not having the stamina for the job and now he has accused her of taking some kind of drug.
His rally speeches have become increasingly agitated and he has stepped up his rhetoric aimed at casting doubt on the fairness of this election, saying it is being rigged by a corrupt media pushing false allegations and outright lies.
Meanwhile the Clinton campaign has hit back against Mr Trump's contention that women accusing him of sexual assault are part of a scheme to help elect Mrs Clinton president.
Voting was to be encouraged and not "dismissed or undermined because a candidate is afraid he's going to lose", Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said.
Mr Mook said he expected a record turnout because voters could see through what he described as Mr Trump's "shameful attempts to undermine an election weeks before it happens".
Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said he was "fully confident" that the November election would be carried out "with integrity", according to his spokeswoman AshLee Strong.
Mr Ryan, the most senior elected US Republican official, has said he will not defend Donald Trump in the wake of the recording of the nominee's obscene comments.
However, Mr Ryan has stopped short of ending his endorsement of the Republican candidate.
The latest sex assault accusations include those made by an ex-Apprentice contestant who cited a 2007 incident and a woman who described a case from the early 1990s.
Mr Trump denies attacking them.
"Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!" he tweeted.
The final televised debate takes place on Wednesday.

Cox, 25, won gold and set a new C4 500m time trial world record in the UCI Para-cycling Track Worlds on 17 March.
"I'm not at the top of my game as I'm still really new to it so there's lots to learn. There is more I can do in cycling," she told BBC Radio Leeds.
"I didn't know how I was going to get on but it's 500m so I went out there and rode round twice like I always do."
Cox was reclassified from the C2 to the C4 event just a day before competing in the Track Worlds, meaning she was racing against less-disabled riders, but set a world record time of 37.456 seconds on the way to winning gold.
"I wasn't sure who was in the class because I've never had to look that high up," she added. "I didn't know what the competition was like but I knew it was going to be a lot stronger because they are more able."
After also winning gold in the T37 100m at the IPC Athletics World Championships last October, Cox is hoping to be the first GB Para-athlete since Isabel Newstead, who was successful in shooting and athletics in Seoul 1988, to win medals in two sports at one Paralympic Games.
She continued: "It's only been 10 months and I am still relatively new to cycling. I've had a great coach, John Norfolk, who has taken me from a novice to a great cyclist.
"The preparations are different from athletics. It takes me a lot more to mentally prepare for cycling just because it's totally new and it's not something I'm very comfortable with yet.
"I still think 'am I going to get out of the gate in time?' There's so much more to think about."
European papers are concerned about the effect on the EU in the light of Prime Minister David Cameron's promise to hold a referendum on leaving. And there is speculation that the Scottish nationalists' spectacular gains may herald the break-up of the United Kingdom.
A US daily fears the result may be the harbinger of the end of the US-UK "special relationship", but one Spanish daily is enthralled by a photo of Mr Cameron using cutlery to eat a hot dog.
The Australian daily The Age suggests that "David Cameron's rose-coloured victory comes with thorns".
Austria's Wiener Zeitung agrees. "The question in Europe is what will happen now to the difficult relationship between the UK and the EU. The British referendum on staying or exiting the EU is now coming - the sooner, the better", it says.
France's Le Monde says result from Brussels' point of view is undoubtedly "one of the worst possible scenarios" with the "route towards a referendum on leaving the EU" never having been more open. "The Brexit scenario... will disrupt relations between London and Brussels", it predicts.
But Italy's Corriere della Sera is more philosophical about the prospect. "We will finally know if and how we can count on Great Britain for the future of Europe". The paper concludes that even if there is a Brexit, "it will not be a breakdown. We have too much in common to throw away everything that unites us".
Another Italian daily La Repubblica has a word of warning for David Cameron, saying that Greece has already learned that when it comes to re-negotiating, "the EU can show it is a tough nut to crack".
The Boston Globe says "Britain's exit from the European Union... would be a disaster". The New York Times agrees, fearing an exit from the union "would further distance Britain from a role in setting European policy... That, in turn, would inevitably have an effect on Britain's ties to Nato and the United States".
Canada's CBC website suggests that "the mirror is cracked in more ways than one, leaving a fractured political landscape behind".
And Spanish daily El Mundo thinks the Conservatives are already aware of problems ahead. "Despite the sweet victory... not even yesterday could they hide their fear that the Kingdom is now somewhat less united and more fractured".
France's Le Figaro describes the result as "an electoral tsunami that turns things upside down in the United Kingdom". It believes the challenge of nationalism across all of the UK will be David Cameron's "first challenge".
French daily Liberation disagrees. It thinks the SNP leaders recognise that "their new voters voted for them because of deep-seated rejection of the Conservatives but also of Labour" rather than because of a sudden urge for independence.
Iran's hard-line daily Vatan-e Emruz under a headline "Cameron's success; Sound of Scotland's footsteps" notes that "Britain's most unpredictable elections have proved all poll predictions wrong except one; which is that the louder than ever sound of footsteps of Scotland's independence will be heard in Westminster."
The German newspaper Die Welt is almost lyrical about the election result. The Tories "embody the spirit of times of a progressive, enlightened, liberal Europe better then the imitators of rebellion in Athens or the fan clubs of redistribution in Paris, Rome or Berlin. A good choice for Europe", it enthuses.
But the Washington Post feels the result is "less than good news for American supporters of Britain and the 'special relationship'. It suggests that the problems Mr Cameron will face and British military cuts are "likely to perpetuate what has been a slow deterioration of a US-British alliance"... "critical to US global leadership in the post-Cold War era".
Meanwhile, the Greek newspaper To Vima is impressed with the speed at which the leaders of the losing parties resigned. It says this is worth considering, "especially when comparing it to what happens in Greece", "where leaders who are supposedly not 'stuck to their chair', cannot in reality be unstuck from them".
Finally, Spain's La Vanguardia is taken by a photo of Cameron eating a hot dog with cutlery during a family picnic. "Maybe Cameron is one of the few people on the planet who does not grab a sausage sandwich, but he has managed to catch in his hands lots of votes that opinion polls didn't give him… His image of a prim and smug guy has not cost him votes", the paper says.

The choice of venue was announced by league officials on Friday and the kick-off is at 17:30 GMT.
Both clubs will be attempting to win the competition for the first time.
Ballymena were runners-up in the 2014-15 season after losing 3-2 to Cliftonville in the final at Windsor Park.
In this season's semi-finals Carrick pulled off a surprise 1-0 win away to Irish Cup holders Glenavon while Ballymena secured a 3-0 extra-time win over Coleraine.
The force has policed 20 protests since 2012, including 14 in Rotherham where a report found 1,400 girls were sexually exploited from 1997-2013.
The chief constable and the crime commissioner (PCC) dubbed the protests "unhelpful" and say they should stop.
But one protest group said they had a right to highlight police "failings".
The force, which was heavily criticised in Professor Alexis Jay's report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham, said it had cost more than £4m since 2012 to police demonstrations.
On Saturday seven people were arrested following a protest in Rotherham organised by Britain First and attended by an estimated 280 people. A further 250 people took part in a Unite Against Fascism (UAF) counter-demonstration.
Chief Constable David Crompton, who said he was taking legal advice about the protests, said the figure of £4m did not include the costs of subsequent criminal investigations.
He said: "Whilst we respect all individuals' right to protest we must balance this against local people's right to enjoy their town centre, the businesses' right to trade and the need to fund wider policing.
"Many of these protests focus on a call for police to do more to tackle child sexual exploitation but their constant desire to protest is not helping us to achieve this.
"I have to ask the question of protesters what it is they are calling for, and whether stripping police resources from South Yorkshire will help achieve it."
Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of Britain First, said: "South Yorkshire Police's call to end demonstrations for monetary reasons is indicative of where their priorities have lain over the last 16 years - not with the children of Rotherham.
"Recent reports state that South Yorkshire Police are still failing the children of Rotherham as reports of similar cases continue to flood in and 160 police officers are under investigation for ignoring the victims pleas - it is therefore no surprise that the police want these protests stopped.
"If Britain First has to take to the streets to highlight the failings of South Yorkshire Police in order to protect innocent children then that is what we will continue to do."
Weyman Bennett, joint national secretary of UAF, said he was not in favour of a blanket ban on protests.
He said: "Instead of just banning demonstrations, because there can be demos about the NHS and other things, the most effective strategy is to say that they can protest, but not in the town centre."
In August the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating how South Yorkshire Police treated complaints of child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Rotherham, said more than 60 officers had been identified and it was working to identify more than 100 more following referrals from the force.
PCC Dr Alan Billings said: "Every protest diverts funds which could be better used not least in supporting more work in protecting vulnerable people.
"I have never yet had a victim or survivor of CSE or their families ask for this kind of outside intervention."
Rotherham Council also faced massive criticism for its failure to protect children.
Its current leader Chris Read said: "We've asked for the protests to cease in the interests of our town, but the organisers have refused.
"That is why we are backing the new legal avenues being explored by the police."
Pennsylvania officials announced a person of interest on Tuesday as search crews focused on a vast farm owned by the man's parents.
Cosmo DiNardo, 20, was identified and also arrested on an unrelated weapons charge, but later released on bail.
Officials say his arrest was not linked to the criminal investigation.
"I want to be very careful to stress that he's a person of interest," said Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub, explaining that he was not currently considered a suspect.
"Sometimes the chasm between a person of interest, and being a person that is actually accused or arrested, and certainly convicted of a crime, is so wide that we never cross it," he added about Mr DiNardo.
Court records show Mr DiNardo was charged with possessing a shotgun despite having a history of mental health issues, including involuntary commitment.
Search crews using heavy machinery, metal detectors, and cadaver dogs have been scouring the Solebury Township 68-acre farm - about 40 miles (65km) north of Philadelphia.
News helicopters have been hovering overhead broadcasting the workers tearing up concrete and sifting through dirt.
Jimi Patrick, 19, was last seen on Wednesday evening one week ago and was reported missing after he did not arrive for work the following day.
Mark Sturgis, 22, Thomas Meo, 21, and Dean Finocchiaro, 18, were each last seen on Friday evening.
Officials have not yet said what connections the men have to each other or if they believe them to be alive.
Sources tell US media that a ping from a mobile phone belonging to one of the men led investigators to the farmland property.
Cosmo DiNardo was freed after posting 10% of a $1m (£775,000) bail. Authorities had on Monday re-filed weapons charges against him that had already been dismissed in May.
The man's parents, Antonio, 46, and Sandra DiNardo, 47, have been subpoenaed to appear before a county grand jury on Thursday, and have had their mobile phones seized, Fox News reports.
The FBI has been called to aid in the investigation, the district attorney said.

O'Sullivan led from the off and went 5-1 ahead in the first session, before Trump pulled two frames back to stay within touching distance in York.
He then fell 9-4 behind but a superb revival saw Trump emerge from the brink, making breaks of 120 and 127 to level the contest at 9-9.
But Trump fouled from a snooker in the last as O'Sullivan won 10-9.
O'Sullivan broke his left ankle while out running before the tournament and was in significant discomfort in the early rounds. After the first round, in which he wore a protective brace, he said he might pull out as it was too painful.
However, the pain seemed to ease as he progressed, compiling a magnificent maximum 147 break in his quarter-final.
He collected £150,000 prize money, plus £44,000 for the 147.
"That is the hardest match I have ever played," O'Sullivan told BBC Sport. "I was going through the motions and accepted I was going to get beaten.
"I didn't know what day it was but I found something towards the end and was able to hold my position."
O'Sullivan - who has now won every UK final in which he has appeared - was the highest-ranked player left in the tournament after the surprise exits of world champion Mark Selby, defending champion Neil Robertson and Chinese number one Ding Junhui.

The 39-year-old looks to be getting better with age and his success in the competition comes 21 years after he won it for the first time in 1993.
He has now won each of the UK, World and Masters titles on five occasions. His 27th ranking win leaves him one behind Steve Davis and nine behind Stephen Hendry in the all-time list.
This match was billed as a contest between two players with attacking and aesthetically-pleasing styles, and O'Sullivan was running away with it at 9-4 before Trump mounted a brilliant comeback.
But a lack of composure when in amongst the balls early on caused the damage, enabling O'Sullivan to pick him off.
"When your opponent is dishing up every time, it is demoralising and dents your confidence," said Trump.
"Towards the end I let go and I made a good clearance to go 9-9. I felt so relaxed and was waiting for the chance in the last but the good safety won it for him."
Labour lost its majority on Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council in February when two councillors stood down after not being reselected to stand in May.
A recount in the remaining Ravenscliffe ward earlier saw Labour's Sarah Pickup gain the seat from independent councillor Gill Burnett.
It means Labour retains 29 seats out of the 60, not enough for a majority.
The Conservatives increased their number of seats by five to 20 in the administration, which elects a third of its councillors each year.
Gill Burnett and Paul Waring stood down from Labour in February after they were not reselected.
Elsewhere in the local elections, Labour has lost overall control in Stoke-on-Trent and the Conservatives have taken control of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council and held onto Cheshire East and Stafford Borough Council.
A total of 92 cases were identified during the outbreak in 2012.
However, an investigation has been unable to identify the source of the bacteria.
Lawyers representing 40 people affected by the outbreak said it was now "crucial" that a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) is held into the case.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said it would consult the families before it made a decision on whether or not to hold an FAI.
Elaine Russell, a partner at Irwin Mitchell Scotland, the firm leading the legal case on behalf of the victims, said: "We have repeatedly called for more information to be shared with the victims but have been met with a wall of silence for years.
"It is embarrassing that they have had to wait so long for the authorities to investigate and share their findings.
"Three years ago four people lost their lives and almost 100 suffered from Legionnaires ' disease, yet the authorities are no closer to knowing what the source of the illness was."
The company's clients include Catherine McDonald, the partner of Bert Air, one of those who died in the outbreak.
She said she was "hurt, angry and disappointed" at the outcome of a meeting between the families and the Crown Office in Wednesday.
"I simply cannot express the frustration that I feel," said Ms McDonald.
"We have waited so long to reach this point but I don't feel we have been provided with any answers as to what happened. I still want to know why Bert died."
Patrick McGuire, a partner with Thompsons Solicitors who is representing nine families affected by the outbreak, said: "This is very disappointing news from the Crown Office.
"This mass poisoning took place in our capital city and yet no one has been brought to book.
"My legal team will now begin immediate work on civil legal proceedings but the Crown Office must also convene a fatal accident inquiry into the outbreak to provide answers for the victims and to stop this ever happening again."
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said the investigation, which saw a team analyse samples from several sites, was one of the most complex it has ever undertaken.
The probe saw a number of companies reported for health and safety breaches unconnected to the outbreak.
It is understood a cluster of cooling towers in the south-west of the city formed part of the inquiry.
Legionella bacteria are commonly found in sources of water such as rivers and lakes.
They can end up in artificial water supplies such as air conditioning systems, water services and cooling towers.
Legionnaires' disease is contracted by breathing in small droplets of contaminated water. It is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from person to person.
The investigation into the outbreak involved the HSE and the police.
Gary Aitken, head of the health and safety division at the COPFS, said: "Following a complex and thorough investigation which involved detailed genetic analysis we can only conclude that there is no scientific basis for any prosecution related to the deaths and as a result no criminal proceedings are instructed by crown counsel.
"This was always going to be a difficult and complex investigation due to the number of potential sources in the Gorgie area but we continued on in the hope that the necessary scientific evidence would come to light. Unfortunately that hasn't happened.
"We will now consult further with the families before making any decision in relation to a fatal accident inquiry."
Alistair McNab, HSE head of operations in Scotland, said: "This was the largest outbreak in Scotland in the last 10 years and one of the most complex HSE has investigated, involving visits to multiple sites and dutyholders including contractors and sub-contractors to check compliance with Legionella control standards.
"As HSE and public health experts made clear at the time of the outbreak the source may never be conclusively identified, based on our experience from previous outbreaks.
"This can be due to the fact that Legionnaires' disease can have a long incubation period of up to 19 days, so by the time an outbreak is notified to HSE and other regulatory bodies and sampling carried out on water systems, the bacteria levels may have changed or the source producing bacteria may have ceased operation.
"In addition, as a precautionary measure to prevent further ill health when an outbreak is declared, companies are encouraged to shock-dose their cooling towers with chemicals, which again can prevent positively identifying the source."
He was a passenger in a Cadillac in Los Angeles when it collided with a Volkswagen Beetle at about 11:00 local time on Friday, according to celebrity news website TMZ.com.
It reported that Harris, who is from Dumfries, suffered a cut in the incident.
He had to pull out of a performance at the Omnia nightclub in Las Vegas.
A statement on the artist's official Facebook page said: "Adam's transport was involved in a collision this evening on the way to the airport.
"As a result he will be unable to perform at Omnia tonight.
"He has been examined by doctors and told to rest for a few days - Calvin HQ."
The Beetle was reportedly driven by a 16-year-old girl and had crossed the centre line before the crash.
The striker curled a left-footed shot past Adam Smith in the 92nd minute to give his side their first victory since late September.
John-Joe O'Toole had given Northampton a first-half lead from close range, but Max Ehmer equalised after the break.
The home team started well, but it was the visitors who scored first in the 36th minute as O'Toole squeezed a header through two defenders after being left unmarked in the six-yard box.
The Gills then hit back early in the second half as Ehmer slid in at the back post to convert a flick from Emmanuel-Thomas.
Both sides had chances to take the lead but the game appeared to be petering out into a draw.
However, Emmanuel-Thomas - Gillingham's top scorer this term - pounced late on to give the hosts a win that moves them away from the relegation zone.

It is far removed from the city's Kgosi Mampuru II prison, where the athlete has spent the last 12 months.
The Paralympian - who was released from jail a day earlier than expected, presumably to avoid a media scrum - will be under house arrest for the next four years for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013, and for negligently handling a firearm at a restaurant in the same year.
Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison, but under South Africa's laws an offender can be put under house arrest after serving at least one-sixth of their sentence in jail.
The 28-year-old will be staying at his uncle's home because he had to sell his own house to raise funds for his astronomical legal bills.
The blade-runner, as he was affectionately known - before his fall from grace - because of his prosthetics, will be able do many things while under house arrest.
These include going out to work and doing community service, like cleaning the library - as was suggested during his trial.
His lawyers have argued that track and field training would qualify as work for him, but it is still not entirely clear whether he will be allowed to train.
Pistorius: Track champion
No preferential treatment
My friend Reeva Steenkamp
The making and unmaking of Pistorius
But he will not be able to compete in any Paralympic event until 2019, according to spokesman for the International Paralympic Committee.
Craig Spence told the BBC there was a "policy that any athlete who is serving a sentence has to serve that sentence in full".
A close family friend has said that Pistorius is in "poor physical shape", adding that his return to athletics would be unlikely.
I watched his sister Aimee Pistorius driving out of the property, which makes it clear that his parole conditions allow him to receive visitors.
I also noticed other friends and relatives arriving at the house, some accompanied by young children. He is allowed to attend important family gatherings.
However, he will not be allowed to go out of the house at night - and drinking alcohol and taking drugs are banned.
Prison officials can randomly conduct tests to check whether he is abiding by the order.
Given the nature of his crime - he fired four shots through a locked door at his home, saying he mistook his girlfriend for a burglar - Pistorius will also not be allowed to have access to any firearms.
During the trial it emerged that he was fascinated by guns and had placed an order for a small arsenal of weapons for his collection.
The prison department already has a parole officer assigned to Pistorius and therefore he will not be electronically tagged.
The parole board has stipulated that the athlete should continue receiving psychotherapy sessions.
A meeting with Ms Steenkamp's parents has also been encouraged - when they are ready and willing.
In response to his transfer to house arrest, a spokeswoman for the Steenkamp family, Tanya Coen, said: "To them it does not matter whether he was released yesterday, a few hours earlier or a few hours later, whether he remains incarcerated or not. It makes no difference to their lives because Reeva is still not coming back."
Anneliese Burgess, the Pistorius family spokeswoman, told us while we waited outside their home that it was important for them to emphasise "that Oscar's sentence has not been shortened or reduced".
"He is simply entering the next phase of his sentence now. He will serve this under strict conditions that govern correctional supervision."
The Pistorius family is correct: The Paralympian is not totally free and his movements will still be restricted.
Vanessa Padayachee, an official with the non-governmental organisation Nicro, which works with offenders to help them reintegrate into society, says South Africa's parole system is very progressive.
It helps the government to save on funding the incarceration of offenders.
"It's used in many parts of the world including in the United States of America," she told me.
If Pistorius violates any of the parole conditions, he faces various punitive measures - the most stringent of which would be a return to prison.
"We do not send people to prison to punish them. We want to rehabilitate them so that they must not be able to do what they've done," says Ms Padayachee.
"And it's the human connection you get when you are under house arrest that transforms people."
Ensuring that prisoners do not repeat the same crime again is what is important for the prison authorities.
Prison is not necessarily the best environment to do this and some may come out worse than when first locked up, Ms Padyachee explains.
But as Pistorius settles into his new routine, his legal battles are far from over.
Prosecutors want his conviction to be changed from culpable homicide, or manslaughter, to murder - or at the least to have his five-year prison sentence extended to 15 years.
The case will be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal next month - and if the verdict goes against the athlete, he could find himself back in prison.
The newly elected MP won the seat from the Liberal Democrats' Sarah Olney with a majority of only 45 votes.
Mr Goldsmith lost his seat last year after resigning and calling a by-election in protest at the decision to expand Heathrow Airport .
There were no fewer than four recounts before a result was declared.
Mr Goldsmith won 28,588 votes, with Ms Olney receiving 28,543 votes on a turnout of 79%.
Mr Goldsmith admitted he had won by a "narrow margin" but thanked the voters of Richmond Park for giving him another chance to represent them.
''I hope my constituents know I will never let them down. " he added.
Ms Olney took the seat from Mr Goldsmith, who stood as an independent after his temporary departure from the Tories, last year.
The Lib Dem win was attributed to her opponent's pro-Brexit stance in the largely Remain-voting constituency.
Trevor Bayliss will take over the management of the team for this summer's games, which include the ashes against his native country.
The 52-year-old replaces Peter Moores, who was sacked from the job in May.
Bayliss has previously coached Australia and Sri Lanka, who he took to the World Cup final in 2011.
"It's an honour to be appointed England coach," said Bayliss. "I firmly believe that the team has a bright future."
Bayliss will take up his new role in June, in time for the start of the Ashes series against Australia which begins in July.
A charity owning the land in Wokingham has agreed a sale to the football club.
Golf enthusiasts fear many will not be able to afford to play the sport if Bearwood Golf Club closes.
The land, formerly belonging to the Royal Merchant Navy School Foundation, will become a training ground for Reading FC's first team and academy.
Plans have been drawn up for 15 pitches on the site, with indoor facilities.
A full planning request will be submitted to Wokingham Borough Council in the near future, and the sale will be finalised on receipt of planning permission.
Former Reading captain Graeme Murty said the new academy was key to the club's future.
"You try and get the best young players in your environment, bring them into the culture of the club, and develop them from eight years old all the way up into your first team," he said.
"Hopefully you're saving yourself eight or ten million pounds, better than that, they then become a saleable asset."
However, golf club manager Barry Tustin said he was "disappointed" at the news.
"The club put in a bid to buy the land, but Reading FC came in with a much better deal," he said.
The Royal Merchant Navy School Foundation said the sale was part of a strategic decision to sell off land to obtain funds to focus on charity work.
The foundation is a national children's educational charity, providing funding for education for "needy" British children of Merchant Navy seafarers, professional sea-going fishermen and RNLI lifeboat crew members.
The Alberta city activated its emergency operations centre to deal with flooding for the first time since a massive blaze forced the evacuation of thousands of people in May.
Rising waters led to road closures across the city as emergency crews worked to drain the flooding.
Water levels began to recede on Monday but more rain was expected.
Emergency officials had warned residents to restrict travel and to move any valuables from basements that are susceptible to flooding.
However, a state of emergency has not been declared and residents were not advised to evacuate the area.
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo tweeted on Sunday that road barricades were being removed as roads reopened.
Images posted on social media showed residents using canoes and jet skis to navigate the flooded streets.
The flooding comes less than three months after the city's 90,000 residents were forced to evacuate in the wake of a massive wildfire.
The blaze destroyed more than 2,000 homes and buildings.
Those evacuated during the wildfires were allowed to return in June.
"It's a bad dream," Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Councillor Keith McGrath told the CBC. "It just seems like it never ends for us ... It's just not our year".
Mr McGrath also said it was unclear how much damage the flooding has caused.
The measure is the most controversial change to the constitution drawn up after the 13 November attacks in Paris.
France's National Assembly is due to vote on Wednesday on all the measures proposed by the government.
Emergency powers currently in force would be given a new status under the constitution.
The proposal to strip citizenship from offenders was carried by a margin of 162 to 148, after the government removed a reference to dual nationals born in France. That had aroused considerable opposition and prompted the resignation of Justice Minister Christiane Taubira.
If the overall package is approved in Wednesday's formal session, it will then go to the Senate. It will then require approval from a joint session of parliament by a three-fifths majority, a process likely to take weeks.
President Francois Hollande outlined the changes in the aftermath of the gun and bomb attacks by Islamist militants who targeted a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars - leaving 130 people dead and hundreds more wounded.
But elements have been vociferously opposed by leading figures, including members of his own Socialist party.
With the country united in grief and anxiety, the president said it was important to take tough action in what he called a "war" against terrorism.
Three months on, his vision of constitutional reform has run into the reality of partisan politics.
On the left - even within his own Socialist party - there is opposition to the proposal to strip terrorists of their French citizenship.
In practice, these critics say, that could only apply to bi-nationals - people with a second nationality - which would make two tiers of citizenship.
On the right there are voices saying the reforms are a meaningless diversion, giving the impression of government action against terrorism, where there is none in reality.
Ms Taubira stood down a fortnight ago, citing a "major political disagreement" with the government over its plans for removing citizenship from those convicted of terror offences.
Even without a reference to bi-nationals, opponents say in effect it singles out dual-nationality French Muslims, as under international law, governments cannot make citizens stateless.

Paris attacks: Who were the victims?
French MPs back emergency powers in law
On Monday, lawmakers voted in favour of the other key measure in the package, the move to enshrine the state of emergency in the constitution, giving the security forces greater powers.
Under the terms of the state of emergency, police are allowed to raid homes and hold people under house arrest.
It expires on 26 February but the government wants the powers extended.
In Wednesday's vote, under Article 1 of the constitutional reform proposals, MPs will have to approve a state of emergency beyond 12 days. This rule is already observed, but including it in the constitution is intended to protect it from legal challenges.
Government whips say they are confident of a majority in the lower house on Wednesday - but even if they are correct there is still a long parliamentary battle ahead.
The continent's football association presidents have told football's world governing body Fifa they want at least 10 spots in the 48-team World Cup.
"All associations back the idea to expand the World Cup and there is hope that Africa can have 10 places," said South African FA chief Danny Jordaan.
That would be double the five places Africa has at the 2018 and 2022 events.
Europe is seeking a minimum of 16 places, up from 13, and wants its sides to be separated in the opening group stage. The first phase will see 16 groups of three teams, with the top two advancing to a 32-team knockout phase under plans approved by Fifa last month.
Asia are expected to get eight to nine places, compared to 4.5 now, and South America, which has 10 member countries, a total of six, also up from 4.5.
The Concacaf region, made up of the Caribbean, Central and North American countries, would get 6.5 places, compared to 3.5, with Oceania, the small Pacific Islands confederation, having one automatic place at the finals instead of 0.5.
Inter-continental playoffs between countries with half a place would determine the additional spots at the finals.
The final allocation of places must be passed by the Fifa Council.
The subject of the expanded World Cup featured prominently at a three-day summit between Fifa chief Gianni Infantino and more than 50 presidents of the African FAs.
The talks were behind closed doors but Fifa officials said Infantino had outlined plans for an expanded World Cup and new development assistance for member countries.
It is the first time a summit of this type has been held, giving Africa's FA representatives informal contact with the Fifa leadership, including the world governing body's recently appointed general secretary Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura.
"It has been a very good idea and a chance for the associations to also speak directly to the Fifa leadership about their issues and concerns," said Ahmad, the president of the Madagascar Football Federation.
Ahmad, who uses just one name, is running for the presidency of the Confederation of African Football against long-standing incumbent Issa Hayatou of Cameroon next month.
The summit comes three weeks before the Caf elections in Addis Ababa on March 16 and the FIFA event in Johannesburg has been dominated by intense lobbying, delegates said.
"Most of the business at this summit is actually outside of the conference room, in the corridors and the hotel lobby as different candidates try to persuade associations to vote for them," said one African FA chief, who asked not to be named. | Scientists in Swansea believe genetic engineering of bacteria that live inside insects could be a key tool in fighting the Zika virus.

The voluntary rate of £7.85 an hour set by university researchers is 21% higher than the legal minimum wage of £6.50.
Wales TUC national officer Julie Cook said low pay was "blighting the lives" of hundreds of thousands of families.
Business organisation CBI Wales said living wages were a useful guide but many firms could not afford to pay more than the minimum wage.
The UK government said it supported firms who paid the living wage "only when it is affordable and not at the expense of jobs".
Around 261,000 workers in Wales are thought to earn less than the living wage, according to the latest annual report on the matter by KPMG.
Across the UK 22% of workers are said to earn less than the living wage, with Northern Ireland worst off with 27%.
The voluntary rate has been adopted by more than 1,000 employers across the UK, benefiting 35,000 workers.
Ms Cook called for people to be given "a fair day's pay for an honest day's work", saying it would help boost the economy.
She said: "It is now time for all responsible employers to commit to adopting this standard, which enables workers to earn just enough to be able to live a decent life."
The UK living wage is calculated by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, while a higher rate for London is calculated by the Greater London Authority.
CBI Wales Director Emma Watkins said living wages could be a "useful guide" but stressed that the national minimum wage enjoyed "strong support" from the business community.
She added: "Rather than requiring firms to introduce pay rises that many cannot afford, we must look at ways to raise living standards sustainably."
A spokesperson for the UK Department for Business, Industry and Skills said: "We support businesses that choose to pay the Living Wage, however only when it is affordable and not at the expense of jobs." | One in four Welsh workers earns less than the UK "living wage" calculated to cover the basic costs of living. | 29,878,389 | 401 | 25 | false |
Monsignor Nunzio Scarano had worked for Apsa, which manages the Vatican's real estate holdings and stock portfolios, until his arrest in 2013.
Scarano was acquitted of corruption charges but convicted of a lesser slander charge and given a two-year suspended sentence by the Rome court.
He had denied any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors alleged Scarano had plotted to fly €20 million ($21.8 million; £15.2 million) in untaxed cash on a private plane from Switzerland to Italy.
A former intelligence agent and financial broker were also allegedly involved, according to prosecutors, but the agent was never able to carry out the plan.
The slander charge relates to Scarano making false accusations against one of his co-defendants.

The crush happened in Chenyi Square in the Bund district, where huge crowds had gathered for the countdown.
The turnout was much higher than predicted, and Shanghai police said they regretted their failure to intervene in time, state media said.
Police are investigating what sparked the crush.
The government cancelled New Year's Day festivities in Shanghai.
Xi Jinping told Shanghai officials to provide an explanation for Wednesday's fatalities as soon as possible, and to "go all out" in efforts to treat the injured, state media reported.
Mr Xi added that local officials around China should ensure that no repeat of the Shanghai incident could occur elsewhere during the upcoming Lunar New Year festival.
The crush began at about 23:35 local time (15:35 GMT) on Wednesday.
Investigations are expected to examine how Shanghai police managed the new year crowds.
Official New Year celebrations had already been cancelled at the Bund due to fears of overcrowding, state-run news agency Xinhua said, citing local officials.
However, despite the cancellation, there were "far more" people in the area on Wednesday evening than predicted, with a crowd size similar to the countdown in 2013, it added.
Close to 300,000 people reportedly turned up for New Year's Eve celebrations in the area a year ago.
Shanghai police said that about 700 police officers were located in the area, and 500 were deployed after overcrowding was seen near Chenyi Square, Xinhua reported.
The police expressed regret that they had not managed to "effectively intervene" when the flow of tourists in the area "increased irregularly" at 23:30 (15:30 GMT), the news agency added.
Cai Lixin, a deputy police commander, said in quotes carried by Chinese media that there had been fewer police deployed than for some other events.
"There were no formal events planned yesterday, so we did not arrange for as many police officers as last year's national day," he said.
The crush centred on a stairway leading to a viewing platform near the waterfront, as people tried to get up and down the steps, state broadcaster CCTV said.
A local resident, identified as Sarah, told AFP news agency "people were screaming... and people [started] jumping off the staircase to get clear."
She added: "There was a quiet, and then people on the stairs fell in a wave."
Gaby Gabriel, an American photographer living in Shanghai, told the BBC: "It was a tremendous amount of people moving in all different directions.
"It seemed some people were trying to move away from the river and some people were trying to go towards the river and there was no order whatsoever, no guidance."
However, Shanghai police denied social media reports that a stampede was triggered by people stopping to pick up fake money thrown from the balcony of a nightclub.
In a statement, police said that video footage showed that the bills had been thrown after the crush took place.
Shanghai's city government said that the identification process for victims of the crush had begun.
A Taiwanese person was among the dead, and there were two Taiwanese and one Malaysian among the injured, it added.
A Malaysian student in China also died in the crush, Malaysia's foreign ministry said.
Many of the dead are believed to be students, state media report.
Some relatives have criticised the authorities, saying they were not kept informed, AP news agency said.

The study has been prepared by the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).
According to the analysis, membership has had "a significant positive impact" on the environment.
But pro-Brexit campaigners dismissed the report as "complete tosh".
The report says that EU rules have led to a substantial decline in most industrial sources of air and water pollution, a fall in greenhouse gas emissions and the rapid recent growth of renewable energy.
It also credits European policies with bringing about a major increase in recycling rates, along with the establishment of a system for the review of the safety of chemicals.
Leaving Europe entirely would mean that future UK governments could make widespread changes to levels of environmental protection.
"The risks of withdrawing from the EU are significant for nature," says the report.
The Birds and Habitats Directives - policies that are the backbone of conservation in the EU and both of which have generated significant improvement for species and habitats - would no longer apply.
Instead, the UK government would be at liberty to change this legislation.
Judging by the UK government's responses to a range of environmental proposals from the European Commission in recent years, it seems more likely that the current government and possibly its successors would opt for a "less ambitious approach than that adopted by the EU".
It cites the example of the debate over the expansion of Heathrow airport: "With no requirement to implement EU law, the approval of these kinds of developments could leave populations at risk of increased exposure in the future."
The report argues that the UK would be excluded from decision-making on EU law and this would be "an unequivocal drawback of departure".
Separating UK, EU and international environmental law, built up over four decades, "would be a considerable challenge and a source of significant uncertainty".
The report also says that there are drawbacks to remaining within Europe.
It can take a long time to get agreements and it does not always produce clear policy: for example, the EU definition of "waste", which can be interpreted in many different ways.
It says that the Common Agricultural Policy has been responsible for the mass industrialisation of agriculture.
The relatively recent "greening" elements of the Common Agricultural Policy - designed to support practices beneficial to the climate and the environment - are overly bureaucratic and some farmers and NGOs question whether they will have any effect.
The report also argues that the Common Fisheries Policy has been complicated and controversial and has failed to effectively protect the marine environment.
But former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson dismissed the principal conclusion of the report as "complete tosh".
"It's not true that leaving the EU would harm the environment," he said.
"We would do a much better job if we were outside. We would be able to interpret the legislation - such as the Bern Convention (on the Conservation of European and Wildlife Habitats) to our own flora and fauna, while also being an active participant in other bodies."
The UK's leading conservation bodies - WWF, the RSPB and the Wildlife Trusts are calling for clarity from both the "in" and "out" camps to say what they will do for the environment.
WWF-UK's Director of Advocacy Trevor Hutchings said, "Not everything that comes from Europe has been good for the natural world, but on balance membership of the EU has delivered benefits for our environment that would be hard to replicate in the event of the UK leaving."
Commenting on the IEEP report, Friends of the Earth campaigner Sam Lowe said:
"This welcome report by the IEEP is yet further evidence that the UK's environmental interests are better served inside the EU. It is not possible to address the challenges of the future - such as climate change and the destruction of the natural world - alone. We should be working together, not pulling apart."

The Children's Commissioner for England says nurses are increasingly having to deal with cases rejected by social workers.
Of 800 nurses surveyed, 40% said they were too often dissatisfied with social workers' responses to referrals.
Council leaders urged ministers to invest more in local services.
The nurses questioned said they were finding it harder to successfully refer children at risk to social services because of some councils' increasingly high thresholds for child protection intervention.
And this had led to school nurses undertaking some of the early stage child protection work which used to be carried out by social workers, they said.
A fifth of school nurses said they felt their child protection caseload, paperwork and other activities associated with it was limiting their capacity to carry out other duties.
And this means that school nurses are increasingly finding it hard to carry out their key role in supporting and promoting children's health and well-being as well as sex and relationship education, says the report.
Many of the nurses questioned described how bureaucratic and reactive work was affecting their ability to build relationships with children and help advise them.
Reduced time for preventative work meant there were fewer opportunities to spot signs of abuse or build trust so children could talk about difficult issues, they said.
Katie Faulkner, a school nurse at Health Futures University Technical College in West Bromwich, told the BBC she believes more contact time with students in schools and colleges is essential.
"If we are going in and explaining then people see us more. That would make us visible.
"The paperwork is protecting yourself but I think we have to have more contact time to show our face and be visible."
Children's Commissioner Anne Longfield said school nurses were among the key professionals at the front line "identifying abuse or neglect, as well as supporting children with a host of other issues - whether that's mental health, age appropriate relationships and sex education or healthy eating".
She added: "Being available for children for face-to-face time is irreplaceable.
"It is clear from this research that school nurses face significant barriers in working directly with children and young people, with paperwork getting in the way."
The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England and Wales, agreed that school nurses should be able to work directly with children rather than spending too much time on paperwork.
Izzi Seccombe, chairwoman of the LGA's community well-being board, said many local authorities were looking at ways of redefining the role of school nurses to achieve this.
However, she added that paperwork was a requirement of the safeguarding process.
"School nurses can play a really important role in the early identification of any child protection issues, but for proper safeguarding to be carried out, there needs to be more investment by government in local services," said Ms Seccombe. | Child protection work and excessive bureaucracy are diverting school nurses from their key role of promoting children's well-being, argues a report. | 37,317,427 | 597 | 35 | false |
The American, chasing a sixth PGA Tour title, leads on eight under from Alex Noren of Sweden and Spain's Jon Rahm.
American world number one Dustin Johnson, playing his first event since pulling out of the Masters on the first tee with an injury, also shot a 67.
Johnson is four under and one of 18 players within four shots of the lead.
He is joined by major winners Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland and fellow American Phil Mickelson on that mark.
Reed, who saw a 30-foot eagle putt on the last hit the edge of the hole and spin out, said: "It was the calmest of the three days, the scores are a lot lower and it seemed easier out there."
Italy's Francesco Molinari, who began round three with a one-shot lead after completing his second round on Saturday morning, hit a second successive level-par 72 to remain on six under.
Following the birth of her first child, Jessica developed a problem with her thyroid gland that greatly exacerbated her pre-existing anxiety disorder.
"I've had anxiety my whole life," says the 36-year-old from Canberra, Australia. "The [thyroid] condition meant that my anxiety got out of control."
This was back in 2012, and Jessica decided to return to her civil service job sooner than originally planned, after she and her doctor agreed that getting back to doing the work she loved would keep her focused and hopefully mitigate her anxiety.
But Jessica, who had to reveal her mental health problem to her employers to receive the flexible schedule she needed, claims that her managers and colleagues started to make negative assumptions about her capabilities, and began to exclude her from projects.
"Because of how I was treated... I didn't really get better," she says.
Having previously managed 17 staff, Jessica says she felt disheartened and devalued.
However, the bad experience did ultimately have a positive impact - it made Jessica determined to help other people with mental or physical disabilities, and gave her the idea for setting up a business to do this.
"I knew there needed to be something for people with disabilities who just need a little bit of flexibility from their employers," she says.
So she decided to quit her government job and launch Enabled Employment, a recruitment consultancy that helps people with a disability find paid work.
Today, the Canberra-based company helps thousands of people find work at more than 400 businesses in Australia, including accountancy giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, taxi hire service Uber, and even the Australian Defence Force.
To help get Enabled up and running, Jessica successfully applied for a small entrepreneurship grant from the Australian Capital Territory government.
She left her civil service job one Friday in December 2012, and started work at Enabled the following Monday, with help and support coming from a local start-up support initiative called the Griffin Accelerator. The number of people and companies using the business then slowly started to grow.
The business is similar to a regular recruitment agency, in that it maintains an online listing of available jobs, and acts as a mediator between would-be employees and hiring managers.
However, Enabled also offers what it calls "accessibility brokering", which means that it works to ensure that businesses are able to offer employees the working conditions they need to perform at their best. This includes checking on flexible working hours and ensuring that offices have disabled access and toilets.
Jessica is keen to stress that the company is not a charity. Instead it is a for-profit business.
She believes that charities that pay businesses to take on disabled staff can reinforce negative stereotypes about disabled people.
"It really devalues people with disabilities who are totally capable," she says. "We don't want anyone to feel like a charity case."
Instead, Enabled charges companies, typically a one-off fee equivalent to 10% of a person's annual salary. By contrast, people who use Enabled to find work don't have to pay it anything.
"There's 4.2 million people in Australia with a disability. Many of these people are very competent, it is really about trying to break down their barriers to work," says Jessica.
"We charge businesses for our services because you should be paying for amazingly qualified people, and you should also be paying for the diversity that it brings."
Enabled is valued at more than six million Australian dollars ($4.6m; £3.9m), and has expanded its services to include military veterans and indigenous Australians.
Suzanne Colbert, the founder of the Australian Network on Disability, says that Enabled has "freshened up" the Australian job market's otherwise "stale" attitude towards hiring people with disabilities.
She adds that Enabled has allowed employers to "tap into new sources of talent".
When it comes to its own staff, Enabled practises what it preaches. Four of its seven full-time employees have a disability and work within a schedule that accommodates them best.
The company and Jessica have also won a number of Australian awards, including start-up of the year in 2015, and a National Disability Award for community accessibility.
Looking ahead, Jessica says she plans to expand the business in Australia before considering any moves overseas.
But for now, she says she is "the happiest she's ever been".
"I still have anxiety. It doesn't ever go away, but I can definitely manage it with the flexibility that we have at Enabled."
Lots of other tests have tried to find out just how clever the little insects are but almost all of them involved tasks that have been similar to bees normal behaviour.
The scientists were surprised to find out that bees could watch and learn behaviour from other bees.
Then the bees used their newly learned skills to get a food reward.
The team showed a set of bees how to push a ball into a small hole using a plastic demonstration bee.
Scientists then gave some other bees two types of training, watching a bee who had been trained with the plastic bee, push a ball into a hole and another where the ball was moved into the hole using a magnet.
The bees that watched the trained bee pushing the ball into the hole were better at learning what to do than the bees who watched the ball move on its own.
Not only that, the little black and yellow insects did not just copy exactly what they saw, but figured out their own way to get the ball to the right place.
A commentary in the Rodong Sinmun newspaper warned that the USS Carl Vinson could be sunk "with a single strike".
A battle group headed by the Vinson is expected off the peninsula this week.
It was despatched by President Donald Trump amid a warning that US "strategic patience" over the North's nuclear ambitions had come to an end.
Tension also rose after a recent failed missile test by the North and a massive military parade showing off its latest hardware.
Sunday's commentary in Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, followed a feature on leader Kim Jong-un's inspection of a pig farm.
"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the commentary read, saying that the attack on what it called a "gross animal" would be "an actual example to show our military's force".
State newspaper Minju Joson echoed this, warning the army would "deal merciless destructive blows at the enemies so that they would not come back to life again".
Rodong Sinmun was equally outspoken last week after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, on a tour of Asian nations, said the US was "reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang".
Rodong Sinmun replied: "In the case of our super-mighty pre-emptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only the US imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the US mainland and reduce them to ashes."
The North also threatened to strike Australia with nuclear weapons if it remained an ally of the US.
North Korea says its nuclear programme is defensive but it is trying to develop weapons small enough to put on ballistic missiles. There is no evidence yet it has done so or that it has missiles with the range to reach long-distance targets.
The Vinson battle group was conducting joint exercises with the Japanese navy in the Philippine Sea on Sunday.
The 20-year-old joined the Blades in 2014 for an undisclosed fee from Blackpool, and made 34 appearances across two seasons.
However, he only made nine starts last season and was named as one player to be released following Chris Wilder's appointment as Blades manager.
McGahey will officially join Dale on 1 July when his Blades deal expires.

The study says some species people rely on for food are faring even worse, noting a 74% drop in the populations of tuna and mackerel.
In addition to human activity such as overfishing, the report also says climate change is having an impact.
The document was prepared by the World Wildlife Fund and the Zoological Society of London.
"Human activity has severely damaged the ocean by catching fish faster than they can reproduce while also destroying their nurseries," said Marco Lambertini, head of WWF International.
The report says that sea cucumbers - seen as a luxury food throughout Asia - have seen a significant fall in numbers, with a 98% in the Galapagos and 94% drop in the Red Sea over the past few years.
The study notes the decline of habitats - such as seagrass areas and mangrove cover - which are important for food and act as a nursery for many species.
Climate change has also played a role in the overall decline of marine populations.
The report says carbon dioxide is being absorbed into the oceans, making them more acidic, damaging a number of species.
The authors analysed more than 1,200 species of marine creatures in the past 45 years.
Priestland will switch to the Premiership after this summer's World Cup, bringing to an end his 10-year association with the Pro12 club.
The 27-year-old will compete for a first-team place at Bath with England number 10 George Ford.
Priestland has made 147 appearances for Scarlets, scoring 1,059 points, and also has 32 caps for his country.
But his move to England could affect his international prospects, as a new selection policy means players leaving Wales could be excluded from Warren Gatland's team unless there are exceptional circumstances.
The policy will become active once a minimum of six senior players, prioritised by Gatland, have been signed to national dual contracts.
However, Priestland's absence from Wales would benefit Bath, with Ford now a regular for England.

"My entire rugby career has been spent in Wales and, although I've enjoyed that time enormously, I need a new challenge," said Priestland.
Speaking about competition for the number 10 shirt at Bath, coach Toby Booth told BBC Radio Bristol: "We believe that having Rhys here means he and George can push each other along.
"They'll allow each other to get the best out of each other and, ultimately, drive the team forward.
"Rhys is coming here on the proviso he is the first-choice 10. He's happy to fight it out."
Bath have already added cross-code star Sam Burgess to their squad this season and confirmed last month that Fiji scrum-half Niko Matawalu will join them from Glasgow in the summer.
The Moneysupermarket.com ad attracted 1,513 complaints, with viewers citing its "overtly sexual" content.
The ASA did not uphold the complaints.
Chief executive Guy Parker said matters of offence can "grab the headlines" but most of their work is focused on "tackling misleading advertising".
The body acknowledged some viewers might have considered the TV and web advert, featuring a man called Dave dancing to Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls, to be "distasteful".
But the price comparison site commercial was not judged to be offensive or in breach of the advertising code.
A company spokesman said the public feedback to the ad was "overwhelmingly positive".
Three adverts for hotel website Booking.com, where the word "booking" was seen to be used in the place of a swear word, were the second, fourth and seventh most-complained about ads of the year - with 683, 407 and 201 complaints respectively.
The complaints were not upheld, with the ASA saying "it was a light-hearted play on words that couldn't be mistaken for an actual swear word".
The third most-complained about ad was a campaign for online payment site Paypal, which showed two children concerned their parents had not been shopping for Christmas presents.
It received 464 complaints from people who "expressed concern that the ad revealed the truth about Father Christmas". They were not upheld but Paypal independently changed the scheduling of the ad.
In fifth place was a poster campaign advertising a Protein World weight-loss product with the slogan: "Are you beach body ready?".
The poster, showing a woman in a bikini attracted 380 complaints, and the ASA told the company that due to "concerns about a range of health and weight loss claims" it could not appear in the same format again.
The ASA concluded the ad, which was defaced in Tube stations and sparked a petition calling for it to be banned, was not likely to cause serious or widespread offence, however.
Mr Parker said: "Our top 10 for 2015 will no doubt get people talking about whether the ads are or aren't offensive, but there are important issues at stake here.
"Advertisers must take care not to cause serious or widespread offence, but we don't play a numbers game.
"And while matters of offence can grab the headlines, the bulk of our work is the less glamorous task of tackling misleading advertising. That's why we're taking a more proactive approach to address the issues which affect consumers the most before complaints need to be made."
Top seed Nadal, 31, who will claim the world number one spot from Andy Murray if he reaches the semi-finals in Canada, beat Borna Coric 6-1 6-2.
Murray pulled out of the competition with a hip injury, which has also ruled him out of the Cincinnati Masters.
Federer, playing in his first match since winning the Wimbledon title, beat Peter Polansky 6-2 6-1 in 53 minutes.
The 36-year-old's 32nd victory of the season sets up a third-round meeting with Spain's David Ferrer, who upset 15th seed Jack Sock 7-6 (9-7) 3-6 6-1.
Nadal, a three-time champion in Canada, took 71 minutes to beat 20-year-old Croat Coric, facing just one break point in the match.
The Spaniard meets Denis Shapovalov next - the Canadian who was disqualified from his Davis Cup match against Great Britain in February for hitting the umpire in the face with the ball.
Another Canadian, sixth seed Milos Raonic, who could have played Nadal in the last eight, lost 6-4 6-4 to unseeded Frenchman Adrian Mannarino.
Gael Monfils saved four match points before beating Japanese fifth seed Kei Nishikori 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 7-6 (8-6), while Germany's fourth seed Alexander Zverev saved three match points as he overcame Richard Gasquet 6-3 4-6 7-6 (7-3).
In the last 16, Zverev will face Australia's Nick Kyrgios, who brushed aside Victor Troicki 6-1 6-2.
The qualifier faces world number four Neil Robertson on Tuesday.
Nottingham's Holt failed to get beyond qualifying in 2015, having gone out in the first round the previous two years.
"You have to relish it. Sometimes it can be a nightmare, which I've experienced, but it is brilliant," Holt told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"It means everything as a player to be there."
World number 28 Holt says the sport's showpiece event defines the best and worst of seasons.
"You can have a great season but if you don't qualify for Sheffield or are not in it, then something is missing," he said.
"And on the flip side, if you have a mediocre season, but you get through to Sheffield you feel a spring in your step return."
Abu Hamza is among five men asking judges to grant an injunction against their extradition from the UK.
Abu Hamza says handing him over would be "oppressive". Fellow suspect Khaled al-Fawwaz, meanwhile, says new evidence discredits the case against him.
The UK government said the last-ditch case was an abuse of the legal process.
It has said it wants to deport the suspects "as quickly as possible".
The men are among six terror suspects held in the UK who are wanted in the US.
The application for injunctions came after the European Court of Human Rights backed successive UK courts in ruling that the men could be sent to the US to face charges.
To avoid extradition, Abu Hamza, Mr al-Fawwaz, Syed Ahsan, Babar Ahmad and Adel Abdul Bary must convince the High Court that there are "new and compelling" reasons for their cases not now to proceed.
Abu Hamza's lawyer Alun Jones QC said the "uncontradicted medical opinion" was that an MRI scan was "medically necessary".
He asked the court for a temporary injunction blocking Abu Hamza's removal until tests has been competed as he may be unfit to stand trial.
Mr Jones said a judge referred to Abu Hamza's "very poor health" at an extradition hearing in 2008.
"Over four years later, it appears there has been, or may have been, a further deterioration, perhaps attributable to sleep deprivation and the continued confinement of the appellant in an unrelentingly harsh environment."
Profiles: UK-held terror suspects
Abu Hamza, a former preacher at Finsbury Park Mosque in London, is accused of planning a terror training camp in Oregon and assisting hostage-taking in Yemen.
He was arrested at the request of the US in May 2004 - but the extradition was halted when the UK decided to try him on allegations relating to his sermons. He was convicted in 2006.
Mr al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary are accused of being aides to Osama Bin Laden in London.
Mr al-Fawwaz's lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said a diplomatic cable existed which reportedly said the US was considering "de-listing of Mr Fawwaz" from a UN "terror list", and there was "evidence in the possession of M15 and MI6 that suggests that the claimant could not be guilty as alleged".
Between 1999 and 2006, Mr al-Fawwaz and Mr Bary were indicted on various terrorism charges in the US, with Mr al-Fawwaz accused of involvement in, or support for, the bombing of US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in 1998.
Mr Fitzgerald said Mr al-Fawwaz publicly disassociated himself from Bin Laden after the al-Qaeda leader issued a fatwa against Americans in 1996.
But a lawyer for the US authorities, James Lewis QC, told the court there was evidence that Mr al-Fawwaz had drafted the fatwa, and that faxes were found on him claiming responsibility for the embassy bombings "two-and-a-half hours before the bombs went off".
Fingerprints from Mr Bary, meanwhile, were on a fax claiming responsibility for the bombings, which was sent to the press, Mr Lewis added.
By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent
The court is absolutely packed with lawyers, reporters and interested parties. The only people absent are the men themselves.
So why is this hearing taking place when the highest European judges have already ruled these men can be extradited? There are two key issues. Firstly, lawyers for Abu Hamza and Khaled al-Fawwaz say there are new facts that need to be considered - facts which haven't been dealt with before.
Abu Hamza's case comes down to his reportedly deteriorating health and whether he is fit to plead. A similar argument led to General Augusto Pinochet avoiding extradition a decade ago.
Extradition law has changed since then. Today's judges can only stop or adjourn the process if the appellant is so poorly that it would be oppressive to continuing the extradition.
Secondly, Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan say they should be prosecuted here - because that's where their alleged crimes were committed.
James Eadie QC, for the home secretary, told the court the suspects' arguments and applications could have been heard "many moons ago".
But they had been "stored up" to cause unnecessary delay and amounted to an abuse of process, he said.
Meanwhile, the court will hear on Wednesday if director of public prosecutions Keir Starmer acted unlawfully in ruling out a private prosecution of Babar Ahmad and another terror suspect, Syed Ahsan, after a legal challenge from the pair.
Mr Ahmad, a computer expert from South London, has been held in a UK prison without trial for eight years after being accused of raising funds for terrorism with his co-accused, Mr Ahsan, through a website.
Campaigners against UK extradition laws had tried to get them put on trial for offences they said were committed in this country.
However, Mr Starmer said on Monday that the documents they provided were "very short, lack any meaningful detail and do not provide any real support for a prosecution".
Haroon Aswat, Abu Hamza's co-accused, who is also facing extradition, was allegedly involved in the plot to establish a US training camp. He was arrested in August 2005 but is not involved in the High Court hearing.
The European Court of Human Rights has "adjourned its examination" of Mr Aswat's claim because it requires further details about his mental health problems.
Poulter, 41, was runner-up at the Players Championship on Sunday, his best finish since November 2014.
The Englishman, once fifth in the world rankings, missed four months last year with a foot injury and says even now he is only operating at "75%".
"It's been miserable, really hard - but we're getting there," he told the BBC.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Poulter's injury problems caused him to drop out of the top 200 and ended a run of five consecutive Ryder Cup appearances, in which he won 14 points from 18 matches.
Having secured a medical exemption to play on the PGA Tour, he missed the cut in his first two events back and feared he had lost his card last month after failing to gain the requisite earnings in the allotted time frame.
However, the PGA Tour decided its rules "unintentionally made it more difficult" for injured players and Poulter was allowed to continue for the rest of this season.
At the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass - often referred to as the unofficial fifth major of the year - Poulter was in contention for a first PGA Tour victory since 2012, but finished three shots behind winner Kim Si-woo, the event's youngest champion.
"It has been miserable, there's no other way to explain it," Poulter told BBC Sport.
"When you're taking a break for several months, when your world ranking plummets, when you miss Ryder Cups, when you find yourself in a position chasing down to try and keep your tour card.
"It's obviously been the toughest stretch of my career. We're still working through some things to try and be 100% there. I think I'm at 75%.
"I can now plan a very long schedule and work out exactly what I'm doing.
"I'm going to have a nice summer with the kids in the UK. I think I'll be playing a lot in the UK this summer."
The 53-year-old was struck by a Vauxhall Corsa in Nuthurst Road, New Moston, as the car attempted to overtake a Chrysler Cruiser, at about 20:55 GMT on Tuesday.
The stolen car crashed into the side of the vehicle, lost control and hit the woman, who was on the pavement.
The car then went on to hit two parked cars and a garden fence, police said.
The woman suffered a broken pelvis.
Police are appealing for information after two people were seen getting out of the car and running away.
PC Andy Burgess said the vehicle had been stolen from Middleton shopping centre on 18 December.
In extracts of a book published in the Daily Mail, Damian McBride said the former prime minister feared "anarchy" once the scale of the crisis was known.
According to the book, Mr Brown said: "We'd have to think: do we have curfews, do we put the Army on the streets, how do we get order back?"
Mr Brown has not yet commented.
Mr McBride, who resigned in 2009 after he was caught planning to smear senior Conservatives, said he had a meeting with Mr Brown on the evening before he announced the part-nationalisation of UK banks in October 2008.
Mr Brown is quoted as saying: "If the banks are shutting their doors, and the cash points aren't working, and people go to Tesco and their cards aren't being accepted, the whole thing will just explode.
"If you can't buy food or petrol or medicine for your kids, people will just start breaking the windows and helping themselves.
"And as soon as people see that on TV, that's the end, because everyone will think that's OK now, that's just what we all have to do. It'll be anarchy. That's what could happen tomorrow."
According to Mr McBride's book, Power Trip, Mr Brown feared panic from other countries could spread to the UK.
"It was extraordinary to see Gordon so totally gripped by the danger of what he was about to do, but equally convinced that decisive action had to be taken immediately," Mr McBride wrote.
He claimed the then prime minister understood the situation better than other world leaders, his UK opponents and senior bankers.
And the former spin doctor rated Mr Brown's actions as "up with those of President Kennedy and his advisers during the Cuban Missile Crisis".
The book also makes claims about in-fighting between Mr Brown and Tony Blair while Mr Blair was prime minister.
Mr McBride said he was "out to convey the message that Blair was hanging on to power for the sake of it", while "Blair's mob" were trying to portray Mr Brown as uneasy and "not looking prime ministerial".
Further extracts from the book suggest that Ed Miliband may have sent potentially damaging emails to a key figure plotting to attack opponents.
Derek Draper was behind a proposed Labour-supporting political gossip website called Red Rag.
Mr McBride said Mr Draper told him there were a number of Labour ministers "who would have problems because of things they've written to me" - "probably" including Mr Miliband.
A spokesman for Mr Miliband said, though: "Ed was not involved in any plan to smear or spread lies about opponents. Any suggestion he was is totally untrue."
And shadow chancellor Ed Balls told the Times that while he may have been part of a "macho" culture around Mr Brown's team, he knew nothing of the smears against rival ministers.
Mr McBride claims he smeared Labour ministers including Charles Clarke and John Reid during Mr Brown's bid to succeed Tony Blair.
The research, conducted in Sweden, showed women who drank more than three glasses a day were actually more likely to break bones than those who had less.
The researchers cautioned that their work only suggested a trend and should not be interpreted as proof that high milk consumption caused fractures.
Factors such as alcohol and weight were likely to play a role, they said.
Milk has been recommended as a good source of calcium for many years but studies considering whether it leads to stronger bones and fewer fractures have had conflicting results.
A team of scientists in Sweden examined the dietary habits of 61,400 women in 1987-1990 and 45,300 men in 1997 and then monitored their health for years afterwards.
Participants were asked to complete questionnaires on how frequently they consumed common foods such as milk, yoghurt and cheese over a one-year period.
Researchers then tracked how many developed fractures and how many participants died in the years afterwards.
In the 20-year follow-up period in which the women were monitored, those who drank more than three glasses, or 680ml, of milk a day were more likely to develop fractures than those who had consumed less.
The high-intake group had a higher risk of death too.
Prof Karl Michaelsson, lead researcher at Uppsala University, said: "Women who drank three or more glasses a day had twice the chance of dying at the end of the study than those who drank less than one glass a day.
"And those who had a high milk intake also had a 50% higher risk of hip fracture."
Men were monitored for an average of 11 years after the initial survey and the results showed a similar but less pronounced trend.
When fermented milk products such as yoghurt were considered, the opposite pattern was observed - people who consumed more had a lower risk of fractures.
Prof Michaelsson says the findings could be due to sugars in milk, which have been shown to accelerate ageing in some early animal studies.
"Our results may question the validity of recommendations to consume high amounts of milk to prevent fragility fractures.
"The results should, however, be interpreted cautiously given the observational design of our study."
Dietary advice should not be changed until more research had been conducted, he said.
Prof Sue Lanham-New, from the University of Surrey, said the study was of limited use. "We do not have a feel for the influence of physical activity or other lifestyle habits important to bone or overall mortality.
"And the effect of increasing body mass index has not been fully investigated in this study.
"Milk and dairy products in the UK provide 50-60% of the calcium in our diet.
"We know that low calcium intake (less than 400mg a day) is a risk factor for osteoporosis.
"Individuals should still be encouraged to consume a balanced diet from the five key food groups of which milk and dairy are key."
They met him in Dublin on Thursday to ask for his help in setting up an independent investigation into the deaths of their loved ones.
The killings took place in Ballymurphy over a three-day period in August 1971.
A priest and a mother of eight were among the civilians shot dead by the Parachute Regiment.
Speaking after the meeting, John Teggart, whose father Daniel was among those killed, said: "This is a significant development in our campaign for the truth. There is still much work to be done. We need the Irish government to persuade the British government of the merits of this proposal.
"We want to thank the Taoiseach for meeting us today and for making the right decision."
Mr Kenny supported the families' call and said he would raise the matter with Prime Minister David Cameron at their next meeting.
Political representatives from Sinn Féin, the SDLP and the Alliance Party were also at the Dublin meeting.
Earlier this week, the group took the campaign for an independent investigation to Europe.
Last year, the families said they wanted former police ombudsman Nuala O'Loan to chair an independent panel. Its remit would include examining all documents and papers relating to the deaths.
The seven-strong panel would also include Prof Phil Scraton, author of the independent Hillsborough report into the deaths of 96 football fans in 1989, and civil rights lawyer Gareth Pierce.
The relatives said the panel should report within 12-18 months, and should be funded by the British and Irish governments.
Its work would reflect the terms of reference of the government-funded Hillsborough Independent Panel. The group also wants an apology from the government.
In a statement released prior to Thursday's meeting in Dublin, the families said: "Over four decades we, the families of the deceased, have campaigned relentlessly and with dignity to establish publicly the context and circumstances in which our loved ones were killed.
"We have amassed strong evidence that all who died were killed unlawfully and in breach of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
"The case raises serious questions regarding human rights abuses committed by the British army and of a culture of impunity in the north of Ireland in which members of the security forces routinely were above the law."
The Ballymurphy shootings took place hours after the government introduced a policy of internment - the detention of paramilitary suspects without charge or trial.
The Parachute Regiment was involved in an operation in Ballymurphy to arrest people suspected of paramilitary activity.
The troops said they opened fire after they were shot at by republicans.
The priest, Fr Hugh Mullan, was shot as he went to the aid of a wounded man.
In June 2012, the former Northern Ireland secretary, Owen Paterson, turned down the campaigners' request for an inquiry.
The families said Mr Paterson told them it was "not in the public interest".
Security expert Chris Vickery got access to River City Media's (RCM) data via back-ups accidentally left online.
The database included more than 1.3 billion records detailing email addresses and personal information.
RCM has not responded to accusations it is involved in sending out junk mail marketing messages.
In a blog, Mr Vickery said he had "stumbled upon a suspicious, yet publicly exposed, collection of files" that he had been able to view because whoever had put it online had forgotten to protect it with a password.
As well as a massive database of personal data, the files are said to include internal messages sent by staff at RCM and documents about its business practices.
The BBC has sent emails to RCM asking for comment on the allegations but has not received any response.
Mr Vickery said the information showed the different ways in which the company tried to outwit security measures designed to prevent it sending lots of messages.
In marketing materials found in the data back-up, RCM allegedly said it had the ability to send up to one billion messages per day.
It also detailed many other ways the company is believed to have skirted systems designed to stop spam.
Information about the net addresses and domains used by RCM were now being added to widely shared systems that helped block spam, said Steve Ragan, who helped Mr Vickery analyse the data.
Naser Oric was detained in Geneva on an international arrest warrant issued by Belgrade, which now wants him extradited to face trial in Serbia.
Serbia says he was involved in the deaths of nine ethnic Serbs in 1992.
He commanded Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) troops in Srebrenica - scene of the worst massacre by Bosnian Serb forces.
The latest dispute between Bosnia and Serbia comes at a sensitive time.
On 11 July Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic is due to attend a commemoration in Srebrenica for the massacre victims. Nearly 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed there in 1995.
Mr Oric was acquitted of war crimes by a UN tribunal in 2008.
The Bosnian state prosecutor's office said it had asked Switzerland to hand him over so that he could face trial in his own country. The office said it would co-operate with Serbian prosecutors and would consider their allegations against him.
Fetuli Talanoa crossed for three of the visitors' seven tries, as seventh-placed Widnes failed to score.
Jordan Abdull, Mahe Fonua, Stephen Michaels and Dean Hadley all also scored tries in a rampant Hull victory.
Vikings have now lost two consecutive games in the Super 8s, while Hull bounced back after their loss to Castleford on 5 August.
Talanoa and Fonua - who both returned to the side after injuries saw them miss that defeat - put Hull 22-0 up at half-time after Abdull's opening try.
Michaels and Hadley crossed after the break before Talanoa completed his hat-trick with 10 minutes remaining.
The result was wholly contrasting to Vikings' 46-6 win when the two sides last met at Widnes' home ground in March.

BBC Sport's Price of Football study analysed how much fans are charged at 207 clubs.
The average price of the cheapest match-day ticket from the Premier League to League Two is now £21.49.
It has increased 13% since 2011, compared to a 6.8% rise in the cost of living.
Year-on-year it is up 4.4%, more than treble the 1.2% rate of inflation.

Critics of the price hikes said clubs had lost touch with fans and argued that the recent £3.1bn windfall from television rights should have resulted in a drop in ticket prices for supporters.
But some clubs, particularly those in the Premier League, point to packed-out stadiums as proof they have got pricing right.
The Price of Football is in its fourth year and is the largest study of its kind in Britain, covering 176 clubs across 11 division in British football and 31 clubs from 10 different leagues in Europe.
As well as ticket prices, information was gathered about the price of replica shirts, pies, programmes and a cup of tea. For the first time this year Price of Football worked out the cost to supporters for each home goal their team scored.
Here are some key findings:

Premier League transfer spending hit a record £835m during the summer window, up from £630m the previous year, boosted by the bumper television deal, which was 70% higher than the previous package.
This summer financial analysts Deloitte said Premier League clubs now spend 71p on wages for every £1 generated, the first time the 70p mark had been broken. Match-day revenue increased by 6% in the Premier League last season to £585m.

Yet as well as the cheapest match-day ticket rise, the average price of the cheapest Premier League season ticket has increased 8.7% since 2012, from £467.95 to £508.55.
Shadow sports minister Clive Efford MP said the "inflation-busting" increases "just cannot be acceptable", while business leader Justin King, former chief executive of Sainsbury's, believes clubs need to ensure they are providing value for money to fans if they want to be sustainable.
"Any business that thinks it can simply rely upon the loyalty of its customers, regardless of how they treat them, in the end will fail. It's an absolute fact," he said.
"Therefore I would be asking clubs, 'are your fans happier today than they were five years ago with the experience that they get, the value for money that they feel they're getting?'"
The Football Supporters' Federation had called for clubs to use the TV deal to cut ticket prices, saying they could knock about £30 off each ticket and still generate the same revenue.
Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the group, said there was "no excuse at all" for the continuing rises.
"Three times the rate of inflation is completely unacceptable from an industry that's got megabucks going in at the top," he said.
Despite the ticket price rises, Premier League attendances are on the increase. The average last season was 36,695.
"For the Premier League and our clubs, keeping the grounds as full as possible is our top priority," said Cathy Long, the Premier League's head of supporter services.

"The attendances so far this season are very encouraging, with more than 95% of seats sold and average crowds tracking with last season's, which were the highest in English top-flight football since 1949-50."
BBC Sport asked Arsenal for an interview but they declined. Instead, they sent us a statement that read: "Work is continually undertaken to offer tickets at various prices, with the highest match ticket only applicable for five Premier League fixtures in a season.
"Across the course of a campaign, we offer up to 300,000 reduced price tickets to adult and junior supporters, from £5 and £10."
Queen's Park Rangers chief executive Philip Beard added: "Our pricing structure is very fair and I've never had any significant complaints from any fans."
In the Football League, the average cost of the cheapest match-day ticket increased 31.7% in League One and 19% in League Two. In the Championship, the average price fell 3.2%.
Crowds in the Football League increased by 136,000 last season. The Championship had a total audience of more than 9.1m fans, at an average of over 16,500 per match. Only the Premier League (13.9m), Germany's Bundesliga (13.1m) and Spain's La Liga (10m) can boast more fans through the turnstiles in Europe.
Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "Season ticket holders are making up an ever greater proportion of the supporter base and account for 10 million of the 15 million admissions to Football League matches each season.
"As the study also suggests, a consequence of providing greater value to the majority of fans at one end of the spectrum is that those fans at the other end of the spectrum, those adults paying on the day for a single match, may now find themselves paying a bit more at some clubs."
BBC Sport contacted clubs in 10 other European countries to find out how prices in Britain compare with those in the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga.

While some of those clubs sell very cheap match-day tickets, with French side Lille offering one for only £5.87, many charge more than £100 for their most expensive.
It is a similar story for season tickets, with AC Milan charging about £163 for their cheapest but almost £3,600 for their most expensive.
The Serie A side also have a match ticket that costs about £298.
The Bundesliga is often held up as a league that puts fans first by keeping ticket prices low.
The four clubs we contacted - Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke - all charge less than £13 for their cheapest match-day ticket.
Dortmund's commercial director said Arsenal's match-day revenues were impressive but insisted his club would not entertain the idea of charging such large amounts for tickets.
"If we were to ask for prices like this, we would lose the people," Carsten Cramer told BBC Sport. "The people are one of the most important assets for our club. We have to care for them."
The Borivali Biryani Centre says it is the "original BBC" and that the Bombay Baking Company stole the acronym.
A spokesman for the biryani centre said he did not care the acronym was used by a top global broadcaster: "That may be abroad - but in India we are the BBC."
The biryani centre wants $100,000 (£67,626) in damages. The bakery says it does not see what the fuss is about.
A spokesman for the bakery, which is located in the plush JW Marriott hotel, did not want to be drawn on whether it was right to use the BBC acronym.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) press office in London said it would not be commenting on the case.
At the root of the case, which is being heard by the Bombay High Court, appears to be the fact that both eateries answer the telephone with the greeting: "Hello BBC, what's your order?"
The popular biryani restaurant says it has been registered as Borivali Biryani Centre (BBC) for more than a decade.
"Our staff are trained to claim they are from BBC. In Mumbai, BBC stands for Borivali Biryani Centre. Someone ought to value this investment, someone must value our trademark," senior restaurant manager Pradeep Udeshi said.
He said the restaurant registered "BBC as its trademark" in 2002.
The Bombay Baking Company says it is "foxed by the claim" from the biryani centre.
"What is the connection? Our names are different. We sell breads, croissants, cakes, pastries, salads, tea and coffee. The restaurant sells biryani. So what is the problem?" manager Anilesh Shelar said.
He admitted that his staff responded to telephone orders with "Welcome, BBC".
"It's just a way of responding. Our customers love it," Mr Shelar said.
India has many other examples of BBC copycats - there are English coaching classes and at least one local brick company is called BBC.
Lesley Cooper was alleged to have called the boy at St Duthus School in Tain a "puppy", whistled at him and told him to "sit".
A General Teaching Council for Scotland panel said three pupil support assistants had "colluded in fabricating a false complaint" against Ms Cooper.
A temporary restriction order on the teacher has been removed.
Highland Council-run St Duthus School caters or pupils with severe, complex and profound additional support needs.
A hearing held into the allegations against Ms Cooper heard claims that she had been frustrated by the behaviour of the boy.
It was alleged the teacher repeatedly acted in an inappropriate manner and used excessive force. It was allegedly that she told the pupil: "You're going to be my puppy".
The panel heard evidence from teaching staff, including the head teacher, and Vivienne Fraser, Fiona Smith and Kirsty Bonthrone, the pupil support assistants (PSAs) who made the complaint.
The PSAs claimed that their input on handling pupils would be overruled leading to the atmosphere between them and teaching staff becoming "tense".
In a newly-released outcome following the hearing, the panel said it rejected the evidence of the PSAs about the alleged conduct of Ms Cooper.
The panel said: "Far from demonstrating that a teacher had acted deplorably in a relation to a young pupil with additional support needs, the panel found that the evidence showed that a group of PSAs mounted a sustained campaign of harassment and vilification against the teaching staff at the school to the extent that it caused the suspension of the Head Teacher and the respondent by Highland Council.
"The panel heard evidence that members of the core group of PSAs were responsible for undermining the teaching plans and instructions of the teachers and that this extended more recently to supply teachers."
The discussions are aimed at restoring a power sharing executive before Monday's deadline.
Normally the Stormont Estate is the preserve of joggers, and tourists at weekends.
However, on Saturday, politicians and officials will be on site as attempts to make a deal intensify.
Monday's 16:00 BST deadline has focused minds and talks went on late on Friday night.
The expectation is that Saturday's discussions will run into the evening. The process has been described as being at a critical stage.
Two of the main stumbling blocks surround agreement on legacy issues and Irish language.
One talks source suggested that unless positions changed it was hard to see how a consensus on legacy issues could emerge by Monday, but hinted that some progress was being made on budgetary matters and a programme for government.
Although in the past talks deadlines have been broken and extended - this time it is different.
If a deal is not struck by late Monday and a First and Deputy First Minster are in place the Secretary of State James Brokenshire is obliged to quickly call a fresh assembly poll.
The government auctioned the restaurant and other properties owned by Dawood Ibrahim in Mumbai on Wednesday.
S Balakrishnan, who bought the Delhi Zaika restaurant, wants to make it an education centre for the poor.
Ibrahim is a fugitive in India and has been charged with masterminding the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings.
Some 257 people died and more than 700 others were wounded in the attacks.
India alleges that Ibrahim lives in the Pakistani city of Karachi, but Islamabad has always denied the charge.
Mr Balakrishnan needs to pay the sum he bid on the restaurant within 30 days to acquire it, and is seeking donations to do so.
"I want to open a computer centre for children and also a legal aid centre for women of the area," he said.
The former journalist said that the government's earlier attempts to sell the property had failed because people were afraid to buy the underworld don's property.
"But this time we decided to show courage," he said.
Ibrahim was named a "global terrorist" in October 2003, and in June 2006, then US President George W Bush labelled him a "foreign narcotics trafficker".
He is accused of smuggling narcotics from Afghanistan and Thailand to the US, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.

Melvin James, 36, was allowed to leave hospital in February and killed his sister Ann-Marie and himself at the family flat in Wolverhampton in March.
An inquest jury has said there were three missed opportunities.
These included hospital doctors not giving the family a face-to-face handover.

Mr James was allowed to leave the Royal Edinburgh Hospital after treatment for what doctors suspected was a "drug-induced psychosis".
His mother, Lynette, had told the Oldbury inquest how she told her son "I love you" as he repeatedly stabbed her.
He was subdued using stun grenades and Tasers, but had inflicted multiple stab injuries on himself - one of which was fatal.
His 33-year-old sister, who died from a fatal stab wound to her heart, had 17 knife-related injuries.
The jury found there was a "lack of detail given in communication" between hospital staff and his family, communication had not been documented fully and there was "no follow-up (care) after discharge".
Senior coroner for the Black Country, Zafar Siddique, said he would write to the hospital with a report to prevent future deaths.
He added: "It does raise some concerns about the discharge procedure."
An internal hospital review is ongoing.
The jury heard Mr James spoke of "a clown that could brainwash him" into a choice of "kill or be killed".
Dr Norman Nuttall, consultant psychiatrist at Royal Edinburgh Hospital, said Mr James "appeared to be acutely medically unwell".
The doctor told the jury while he was assessed as a "risk to himself", he was not to others.
Blood tests revealed an opioid, possibly from a psychoactive substance, and his condition was diagnosed as "drug induced".
But Dr Nuttall said his admission may have "represented an exacerbation of an under-lying psychotic illness".
Mr James' condition improved and he was discharged.
Both Dr Nuttall and another doctor said it was "regrettable" no formal handover of care had taken place with the family.
It happened in the Jamaica Street area on Sunday 25 June.
The paramilitary-style shooting was reported to police shortly after 23:00 BST.
The man has been taken to hospital, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Detectives have appealed for information.
Donald Tusk hit back at criticism from UK politicians over the plight of EU nationals in the UK and Britons living overseas.
In a letter the 81 MPs and peers accused the EU Commission of "standing in the way" of a "reciprocal" deal.
But Mr Tusk said their criticism had "nothing to do with reality".
He said Brexit - not the stance taken by EU negotiators - had created "anxiety and uncertainty", saying the best way to "dispel the fears and doubts of all the citizens concerned" was to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which begins a two-year negotiation process.
BBC Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly
Europe's leaders are united in their determination to keep their negotiating cards close to their chests until the UK triggers Article 50.
National leaders like Angela Merkel and EU officials like the Council President Donald Tusk alike are adamant that there will be no side deals or talks on individual issues until Britain makes the first move.
But Theresa May's talks with her Polish counterpart Beata Szydlo this week suggested that the British side believes some issues can at least be discussed at this stage with individual member states.
Mrs May repeated her view that an early agreement could be reached guaranteeing the rights of Polish citizens in Britain as long as the rights of British residents of Poland were also protected.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will do this before the end of March.
Mr Tusk said the EU stood ready to find a solution, but only once Article 50 had been triggered.
Addressing Conservative MP Michael Tomlinson, who organised the original letter, he said: "Just like you, I would like to avoid a situation where citizens become 'bargaining chips' in the negotiation process.
"In order for this not to happen, we will need precise and comprehensive solutions, which, other than nice-sounding expressions, will provide citizens with genuine guarantees of security."
There have been widespread calls for the government to guarantee the status of EU nationals living in the UK, but ministers have said the issue should form part of the Brexit negotiations and would require reciprocal guarantees over Britons living abroad.
The government has said it expects the rights of both groups to be protected.
The San Francisco-based service, founded in 2015, allows users to combine updates from dozens of other apps and sites into a single feed for simplicity's sake.
It currently supports English and Arabic languages.
Baaz told the BBC it had tackled the issue.
The IS-linked propaganda outlet Nashir News Agency began posting material to Baaz in the early hours of 12 June.
The content included claims about attacks and images glorifying the group's activities.
The outlet advertised its new Baaz account via numerous replica channels on the messaging app Telegram, which has itself attempted to restrict the Nashir agency's activities on its platform.
IS's news outlet Amaq has also launched a feed on Baaz, where it started posting its own reports and videos on 5 June.
Nashir News Agency, which largely distributes official IS material - including that of Amaq, proliferated on the messaging app Telegram after the group's official channels - called Nashir - went underground last August.
Since late March this year, the outlet has slightly diversified its content to include calls on IS supporters to increase their efforts to get the group's message out on popular platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
It has repeatedly set up its own accounts on the platforms, but they have been suspended.
Amaq intermittently appears on other social media platforms such as Tumblr and YouTube. IS supporters have also recently shared links to an Amaq group on the messaging service WhatsApp.
Baaz's website states that users can report abusive, illegal or offensive content posted on its platform via a feature that is currently available in its iOS and Android apps but not its web app.
After being alerted to the developments, Baaz suspended the Nashir News Agency account.
"We appreciate you pointing it out to us," a member of the firm's support team told the BBC.
"We are taking immediate action, and are removing the content as well as blocking the user.
"If the content contains any offensive or known Jihadi content we act immediately. Our policy and position is unequivocal, and we do not tolerate, condone, support or accept such content."
Baaz also appears to have removed the Amaq account from its platform.
Two car were involved in the collision which happened at about 16:45 local time on the M20 motorway at Patrickswell.

On Saturday, the Met Office said up to 6cm (2in) of rain could fall.

He initially backed fellow pro-Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson, before announcing that he would himself stand.
He told BBC Radio 4's The World At One he should have "paused and reflected before backing Mr Johnson" or stuck with him after making the decision.
Mr Gove called Mr Johnson "phenomenally talented" and said Theresa May was the right choice as party leader and PM.
The former justice secretary and education secretary campaigned against his long-term friend, former Prime Minister David Cameron, in supporting the Leave campaign during the Brexit referendum campaign.
He told The World at One they had not spoken for "some time" since, following reports that they are no longer on amicable terms.
In his first broadcast interview since leaving the cabinet when Mrs May became prime minister, Mr Gove - now a backbench MP - said he would "happily" return to frontline politics if asked.
During the leadership election, held in the fraught atmosphere following the UK's vote to leave the EU, Mr Gove initially said he was supporting Mr Johnson. He then changed his mind and decided to run himself, publicly questioning Mr Johnson's ability to do the job.
He said, with hindsight, he should have pronounced an "alternative view, rather than passing any commentary or judgement on Boris".
After Mrs May entered Downing Street, Mr Johnson entered the cabinet as foreign secretary, while Mr Gove remains on the Conservative back benches.
He said: "I think he's been a success as foreign secretary. He's had some criticism from some on the way he's handled Russia, Syria and so on. I think he's been right."
Mr Gove said those who accused Mr Johnson of backing the Leave campaign to further his own career were wrong, adding: "He decided to do what he thought was right for the country."
They had both found it difficult to tell Mr Cameron they were going to campaign against him over Brexit, he added.
Mr Gove also said that with hindsight Mrs May was "the right leader at the right time" and that "if the chance came to serve again" in the cabinet, he would "happily say yes".
But he was "very happy" on the back benches and would be standing again at the next election as MP for Surrey Heath, which he has represented since 2005.
They have lodged an appeal with the Planning Appeals Commission.
The Earl of Shaftesbury, who owns the bed of the lough, has joined the sand companies in appealing the enforcement notice.
In May, Environment Minister Mark H Durkan told them to stop until they had submitted a planning application.
The deadline for the companies to comply with the ministerial order had been due to run out on Tuesday.
Under the legislation, the appeal means they can continue to extract sand pending the outcome of the case, or its withdrawal.
It is estimated that about 1.7m tonnes of sand are being extracted from the bed of the lough every year.
It supplies about a quarter of Northern Ireland's construction needs annually.
Environmentalists have complained that it is taking place without planning permission in an internationally recognised bird habitat with EU protection.
Mr Durkan has declined to comment.
His department said there would be no statement as the case was a "live enforcement issue".
But instead of the complainant's tax being lowered, valuation officers have raised everyone else's tax on the street by £160 a year.
Homes on Lynton Avenue in Hull have been moved from Band A into Band B.
The government's Valuation Office Agency (VOA) said the tax banding had been reviewed following a complaint.
Residents told the Hull Daily Mail the increase was because one unidentified neighbour complained to the VOA that her rates were too high.
A resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "All the houses on the street are identical, so we should all be paying the same rate.
"One person on the street was paying a higher rate than everyone else so questioned it with the government and I think they've been a bit cynical.
"Instead of admitting that this person has been overpaying all these years and giving them a refund, they have decided to put everyone else up.
"It's just so typical, if you ask me."
Letters were sent out to each house by the VOA, telling the occupants the homes would be evaluated recently, but rates were raised without further notice.
Council tax bands in England run from A to H, with A being the cheapest, and are calculated according to what the value of the property would have been in April 1991.
Accounts manager Kerry Wilson, 45, who has lived on Lynton Avenue for 16 years, said she and her neighbours would be appealing against the decision.
She said: "We have been in Band A as long as we've lived here.
"The move to band B means our houses would have been valued at more than £40,000 in 1991, but there is no way that can be true.
"My husband has found all the house prices from that time and none of them were more than that.
"It's caused a right rumpus and we're making sure everyone in the street will send their letter of appeal in."
Pat Garrett, a 72-year-old who has lived on the street for almost 40 years, said: "As a pensioner, my monthly in-comings aren't going up any time soon and I'll definitely feel the pinch.
"The amount doesn't sound like much, but it makes a big difference when you consider everything else is going up in price too."
A spokesman for the VOA said bands could change as a result of one person expressing concerns about the amount they were paying.
He said: "If a taxpayer contacts us with concerns about their council tax banding, we will review it free of charge.
"We might need to review the bands of similar neighbouring properties to ensure they are correct, which can lead to other properties' bands being changed.
"We alter council tax bands only if evidence indicates they are incorrect, or there has been a physical change to a property or its locality."
Hull City Council offered no comment on the row and pointed out it acted on the Valuation Office Agency's instructions. | Patrick Reed takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina after a five-under-par 67 on Saturday.

The calculator works by adding up your costs for tickets, food and programmes and multiplying them across the season.
This season we have also compiled data on replica shirt prices, sourced from the clubs.
Because there is such a great variation in ticket prices between and within clubs, this figure is intended to give a general indication only.
Choosing 'season ticket' assumes that the holder buys the cheapest season ticket, and attends every home game in that league during the season, spending the same amount on food and drink per game.
Cup ties and play-off games are not included in the calculation.
The comparison of ticket costs between clubs works best if you enter realistic figures.
To provide a comparison at the end, we show how the price of the cheapest season tickets vary within your club's league.
Throughout the calculator, we compare how various costs have changed using data from previous BBC Price of Football surveys.
Some data comparisons are not available for clubs which were not included in previous years.
The 'price of a goal' is calculated by dividing the cost of a club's cheapest season ticket last season by the number of goals scored by the team at home in the same season.
Comparisons are not available for clubs which were not surveyed last season, or promoted to the Conference in 2014 (Altrincham, Dover, Eastleigh and Telford) or which do not operate traditional season tickets (Barnet).
Programme costs were not collected from European clubs, as many do not publish match-day programmes in the same way as British teams.
Some women's teams did not provide costs for a replica shirt; in these cases the calculator uses the equivalent price for a replica men's shirt.
The BBC contacted 207 clubs for the study. Of those, 176 were in England, Scotland and Wales and another 31 in Europe.
We recorded the prices for the most expensive, and cheapest, season tickets and adult match-day tickets as well as the cost of a cup of tea, a pie, a programme and an adult replica shirt.
The data was collated and verified by BBC Sport journalists.

Officials say the tiger is roaming around the enclosure of Sara, a tigress, indicating its urge to mate.
The tiger entered the Nandankanan Zoological Park, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar in the eastern state of Orissa, on Monday night.
The big cat had caused panic in the zoo by roaming around in an adjacent safari park for the past few months.
A zoo official said they had opened the emergency gates to let the tiger enter the zoo and now its movement was being closely monitored with high-resolution cameras.
In a similar incident, a Royal Bengal tigress had jumped into a tiger enclosure attracted by a male's mating call in January 1967.
Wildlife officials are now debating whether to let the new tiger remain in the zoo or release it back into the wild after putting a radio collar on it.
"Putting a radio collar on the tiger will enable us to track the feline once it is restored to its original habitat and its movement can be monitored," Orissa chief wildlife warden JD Sharme said.
However, senior zoo officials and activists want the seven-year-old big cat to remain in the zoo.
"If the male tiger is retained in the zoo, it would widen the gene pool and infuse new blood into the tiger conservation and breeding programme at the park," said wildlife activist Subhendu Mallick.
The zoo at present has 24 tigers and officials say all male tigers there are descendants of one male tiger who was brought into the park in 1965.
A 2011 census counted about 1,700 tigers in the wild in India.
A century ago there were estimated to be 100,000 tigers in India, but tiger numbers have shrunk alarmingly in recent decades due to rampant poaching.
Emanuel Lutchman, 25, from Rochester, was charged on plotting to kill people at a restaurant on New Year's Eve.
Mr Lutchman told an FBI informant he would use a machete and knives in the attack, officials say.
Before his arrest, he made a video pledging allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the FBI said.
Mr Lutchman came to the attention of authorities after he began expressing support for IS online.
"I will take a life, I don't have a problem with that," Mr Lutchman is quoting as saying in court documents.
A convert to Islam, he has a history of mental illness and lengthy criminal record, officials said.
Authorities in major US cities such as New York and Los Angeles are on high alert for an attack during well-attended New Year's Eve festivities.
New York has deployed about 6,000 police officers to patrol Times Square, which is expected to draw about a million people.
A jalopy of such vintage, I'm told, Torvill and Dean used it for a victory parade in Nottingham in 1984. And it was in its second decade then.
In an era of airtight political choreography, this is a campaign that's sufficiently breezy that the party leader shouts "duck" on the upper deck as we all get whacked by branches when the bus goes under some trees.
Think what you like about the UKIP leader Nigel Farage, but two things from this vantage point seem indisputable. This referendum is happening because of the impact he's had on British politics.
And who else at Westminster is up for the kind of campaigning he does?
Arriving in Chapeltown, just north of Sheffield, the loudspeakers gaffer taped onto the upper deck are turned on. Eager members of the small Team Farage are instructed to cling on to said speakers, such is the fear that gravity might triumph over them.
The music to The Great Escape pumps out, to a Farage chuckle; a joke the veteran MEP can't resist.
The response as the bus slows is binary: from the Anglo Saxon unbroadcastable insult, hollered with gusto, to the thumbs up and smile from the nonagenarian woman at the bus stop.
Pulling up outside the Wagon and Horses, Mr Farage is the unlikely voice of temporary prohibition. It's just gone 10am and he had been after a coffee; some of his activists were necking lager half an hour earlier.
He leaps off the bus and starts chatting. Sure, these affairs attract the converted, the committed, the convinced. Even the evangelical.
Bits of slogan-emblazoned cardboard aloft, some approach him as if Bono or Bieber have rolled up. Kisses, autographs, all the rest of it.
But he has a crack too at passers by, the unconvinced, the unconverted, but persuadable. And one or two who have no intention of being persuaded at all. Mr Farage appears to be attempting to take on the crater-sized criticism screamed at him by his opponents also wanting the UK to vote to leave the EU.
Their critique is simple: he can motivate those who agree with him, but he's toxic amongst those who don't, and don't yet. The big question is this: given his binary appeal, are they right? His argument is this: look how many people I've won over so far.
They argue this is a race to get half of those who vote, plus one more. Can he convince those crucial floating voters?
Lunch, as you might have guessed, is at a pub. High on Saddleworth Moor, the Rams Head flies a St George's flag in the car park.
His persuading and charming, arguing and chatting, continues with whoever he meets. By two o'clock we are back on the vintage bus.
Whatever you do, don't ask for the wifi code or where the toilet is. A corkscrew appears. Briefly entertaining the idea that, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang like, it might be to get the charabanc going again, I ask what it's for.
The Rioja appears. After all, we are half an hour down the M62 away from the next campaign stop in Bolton.
So let's be clear: you might have noticed this was an entertaining, engaging and refreshing day on the campaign trail. Refreshing, indeed, in all sorts of ways.
But here are the big questions: Does Nigel Farage change minds among the unconvinced to win a referendum? Or do too many people simply not like him?
It's a massive unanswered question. Can an approach to politics - as different as his is - actually lead it to the very highest success?
Can a man who has turbo charged an outfit from a dusty room in the London School of Economics into a major player in British politics, actually achieve the only thing he ever set out to do - get the UK out of the EU?
And, afterwards, whether win or lose, what on earth does he do next?
The arrests were made as part of an investigation by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command and MI5.
Scotland Yard said the arrests were "linked to activity in the UK".
The men, aged between 18 and 27, were arrested at their homes and are in custody. A further five residential addresses in east London will also be searched.
The Ford Kuga drove through the front window Home Bargains in Cross Hands at about 11:00 GMT on Sunday.
A female customer received treatment for shock, but no-one was injured.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said it is investigating the incident but no arrests have been made. Work is being carried out to recover the car.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service helped to make the area safe but said no-one was trapped.
The Championship side also strengthened their grip on third place with a 1-0 win at Birmingham City on Tuesday.
"We needed to have extra bodies in the squad when you look at the number of games towards the end of the season," Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"Maybe we will have injuries and suspensions that will stretch us."
Bournemouth striker Grabban, 29, West Ham defender Oxford, 18, and Crystal Palace midfielder Mutch, 25, have all joined on loan until the end of the season.
"We're always looking for quality players in the squad and I think every manager wants that," Stam said.
"Reece Oxford gives us an extra defender in the squad, he's a young and very talented player and he has the quality that we need in how we play.
"He's highly-rated and everyone is happy to have him in the squad. Jordan Mutch has the experience that maybe other players in the squad don't have.
"Maybe that will make my life more difficult or perhaps easier in terms of making selection choices."
He called for a "multi-faceted Europe which would be neither a two-speed Europe nor an a la carte Europe".
National interests, he said in Strasbourg, risked taking precedence over the interests of the EU.
His remarks were aimed at UK Prime Minister David Cameron, the BBC's Europe editor, Gavin Hewitt, reports.
Mr Cameron announced last month that a referendum would be held on EU membership if his Conservative Party was returned to power at the next general election, expected in 2015.

Voters would be asked to choose between a renegotiated form of membership, and exiting.
Mr Hollande's Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, commented at the time: "We want the British to be able to bring all their positive characteristics to Europe... but you can't do Europe a la carte."
The French president's speech comes two days before a summit on the EU's seven-year budget, which is likely to be marked by sharp differences between the leaders.
The UK is pushing for a spending freeze while most other EU members want either to maintain or increase the proposed budget.
Setting out French priorities, Mr Hollande called for
"Yes to making cuts but no to weakening the economy," he said, rejecting "endless austerity".
Elected last year on a pro-growth platform, the Socialist president was making his first speech as France's head of state to the European Parliament.
"National interest is overtaking the European interest," he said.
"If it is true that the eurozone crisis is now largely behind us, we are far from drawing all the consequences. The threat we face now is no longer the mistrust of the markets but that of the peoples."
Mr Hollande warned that Europe was leaving the euro vulnerable to "irrational developments".
"A monetary zone must have an exchange rate policy or else it ends up subjected to an exchange rate that does not match the true state of its economy," he said.
There is growing concern within France's Socialist government that the euro is too strong, potentially undermining exporters and wider economic growth.
Mr Hollande called on member-states with strong export economies to stimulate internal demand to create a fairer balance. His remark puts pressure on Germany, the EU's biggest exporter, our Europe editor notes.
On France's military operation in the west African state of Mali, Mr Hollande said: "Europe must do its bit in the fight for democracy and human dignity - that is why I decided to intervene in Mali."
Members of the European Parliament later questioned the French leader.
In a speech, former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who now heads the parliament's liberal bloc, called on France to consider making savings by agreeing to have the European Parliament sit permanently in Brussels.
The chamber currently divides its sessions between the Belgian capital and Strasbourg, in north-eastern France. The arrangement is fixed in an EU treaty.
"I defend Strasbourg as capital of Europe because history reminds us of Strasbourg's role," Mr Hollande replied, referring to France's former border dispute with Germany.
It is believed that having a single seat for the parliament would achieve annual savings of some 180m euros (£156m; $245m).
Rutherford, who won Olympic gold at London 2012 prior to claiming the 2015 world title, said he was "gutted".
Richard Kilty, who was selected for the 4x100m relay, has also pulled out of the event with a broken finger.
But Shara Proctor, Jazmin Sawyers, Lennie Waite, Marc Scott and Jess Turner have been added to the GB squad.
"With an incredible start to the year in training, and very promising early season form, I have had a difficult series of setbacks as the season progressed," added Rutherford, who also won Commonwealth gold in 2014 and the European title in 2014 and 2016.
"Most recently, a badly damaged ankle ligament and a sportsman's hernia, really put paid to my plans. The injuries have taken longer to heal than we hoped, and I have been unable to even jump at all in training, let alone compete.
"I am truly gutted. That stadium is such a special place for me, I am so devastated that I won't be competing in front of the best fans in the world, in the stadium that changed my life."
"Greg is one of only a few British athletes to complete the 'Grand Slam' of medals, but that won't make missing London any easier," said Neil Black, performance director for British Athletics.
"He desperately wanted to defend his world title in front of the home crowd, but unfortunately his injury hasn't cleared up in time and the hard but sensible decision had to be made to withdraw."
Meanwhile, Proctor and Sawyers will contest the long jump, Waite will run the 3,000m steeplechase, Scott the 5,000m and Turner will be in the 400m hurdles.

Lisanne Beck, 47, and her boyfriend Simon Murphy, 48, from Swansea, were filmed on a mobile phone at the family event on 14 September last year.
A child nearby had to be shielded, said one onlooker.
The couple have pleaded not guilty to behaving indecently by engaging in sexual activity including oral sex.
A jury at the Old Bailey was told by prosecuting lawyer Tom Cleeve the alleged act was seen by several members of the public and went "beyond the bounds of public decency".
Mr Cleeve said the couple were "worse for wear" and seemed to be drunk.
It appears that Ms Beck "undid his shorts" and carried out a sex act, he said. Security were called and the couple were thrown out of the concert.
Ms Beck later said he had not done anything wrong and was just trying to wake Mr Murphy up.
He said he was completely unaware of anything indecent happening, the court was told.
The £2 coin, made by The Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff, was released into circulation in Hampshire on Tuesday.
It will be released into wider UK circulation later in 2017.
Dominique Evans' design, her first for a circulating coin, features the author's silhouette and signature.
She said: "I imagined the framed silhouette in one of the houses featured in Jane Austen's books, on the wall of a corridor as guests pass by to attend a dance, perhaps in Pride and Prejudice or on the wall in the home of Emma."
Cammell Laird in Birkenhead has said about 200 jobs are at risk because of a shortage of new orders.
Unions representing workers at the ship repair firm held a meeting with local politicians to avert job losses.
Local MPs urged Westminster to protect British interests when awarding contracts.
Labour's Birkenhead MP Frank Field said the government must do more to ensure that work on military ships and other taxpayer-funded projects should "remain in the country" rather than be offered to European firms.
And he said care should be taken to make sure contracts go to the companies which are most in need.
Mr Field, who attended the meeting alongside fellow Labour MPs Alison McGovern and Margaret Greenwood, said: "If you look at Spain, if you look at Germany, their governments are pretty tough in protecting their shipyards.
"We're asking the British government to be as canny as European governments are in protecting the British interests.
"We're not resigned to the jobs being on the line. Cammell Laird should have a good chance of bidding for these contracts."
Wirral Council leader Phil Davies said: "Clearly there are ways that the government can offer more support. We know these yards elsewhere do get substantial contracts."
The University of Aberdeen team said the findings were especially true of couples without a shared social circle.
They compensate by "adopting" the on-screen social groups - such as in Game of Thrones - as their own.
The researchers said the more frequently couples watched box sets or films together, the more highly they rated their relationship commitment.
The research measured the extent to which people shared programme viewing with their partners, whether they had a lot of friends in common and how they rated their relationship.
The university said the results showed that when people did not share many friends with their partner, sharing media strongly predicted greater relationship quality.
Dr Sarah Gomillion, who led the study, said: "Relationships are a very big contributor to our physical and psychological health.
"So understanding how relationships can be better and how you can improve relationships can also improve our physical and psychological health.
"What these results suggest to us is that when people have a hole in their social network that they share with their partners they might become more motivated to share media as a way to compensate for that deficit.
"Watching TV with a partner or watching a movie you both like is a really easy way to improve relationship quality and anyone can do it at any time so if this is something that is good for relationships, it might help us identify an intervention that can improve relationship quality."
The study has been published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.
Chiswick Bridge, in west London, disappeared over the weekend, although other bridges nearby did not.
During the fault, drivers were sent on long diversions over neighbouring Kew Bridge, despite the "missing" bridge still being in use.
The error was fixed on Monday - two days after its absence was noted. Google has declined to comment.
BBC Travel reporter Rob Oxley first noticed the bridge had disappeared on Saturday after he was contacted about roadworks which had closed the bridge on previous weekends.
"I went to check something on the map when I noticed that it had vanished," he said.
"I'd already looked at the CCTV camera to check for roadworks so could see the bridge was still there."
"It actually could have sent anyone who relied on Google Maps for directions on a long diversion, as their route planning software was also ignoring the bridge."
The force was given the names of three possible paedophiles by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in 2013, but did not act on them for a year.
North Wales Police has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
The force said there was no indication the delay caused a risk to the public.
The suspect's names were given to the NCA by Toronto Police as part of its child exploitation investigation Project Spade.
North Wales Police Superintendent Andy Jenks Gilbert said the force thought it was dealing with 12 referrals in 2013, but later checks revealed three more cases needed investigation.
He said one was dealt with in a separate operation and the other two were now being processed.
"Because of the delay we have made a voluntary referral to the IPCC," he said.
"There is no indication that the delay in investigating these two additional cases has presented any risk to the public."
The NCA was given a list of 2,335 suspects by Toronto Police in July 2012, but waited 16 months before sending the names to police forces across England and Wales.
The files held by the agency included details of Cardiff deputy head teacher Gareth Williams, who was jailed for secretly filming children going to the toilet .
The issue was raised in the House of Commons on Monday by the Llanelli MP Nia Griffith.
She quizzed Home Secretary Theresa May on the delay in passing over information about Gareth Williams.
The Labour MP also asked about 20,000 individuals the NCA has information on in connection with accessing child abuse images, but she said only 700 of these people have been prosecuted.
Responding, Ms May said: "Under the National Crime Agency more people are having action taken against them who are looking at child abuse images."
The NCA has also referred itself to the IPCC over its own delays in relation to Project Spade, while referrals from other forces are currently being assessed by the IPCC.
IS has focused on the dusty backwater not because of any strategic importance or the size of its population - the Syrian census of 2004 recorded that little over 3,000 people were living there - but because it holds great symbolic value.
Dabiq, which lies about 10km (6 miles) from the border with Turkey, features in Islamic apocalyptic prophecies as the site of an end-of-times showdown between Muslims and their "Roman" enemies.
The Prophet Muhammad is believed to have said that "the last hour will not come" until Muslims vanquished the Romans at "Dabiq or al-Amaq" - both in the Syria-Turkey border region - on their way to conquer Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).
IS has been seeking to bring on that battle by goading its enemies to confront it there. And now the Turkish-led force is reportedly closing in.
Mohammed Emwazi - believed to have been the British militant who became known as "Jihadi John" after the killing of five Western hostages in 2014 - appeared in one IS video with Dabiq in the background and the severed head of American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, a former US Army Ranger, at his feet.
"Here we are, burying the first American Crusader in Dabiq, eagerly waiting for the remainder of your armies to arrive," he said.
IS has repeatedly dared the West to send ground troops to Syria. By filming the killing of Abdul-Rahman Kassig in Dabiq, the group appeared eager to be given an opportunity to fulfil the prophecy and bolster its legitimacy to a wider audience.
It appears that the militants were filmed on a hill on the northern edge of Dabiq, close to the location of an earlier IS propaganda video which featured three European jihadists all playing up the significance of the town.
One of them, a British IS member of Eritrean origin called Abu Abdullah, warned US-led coalition forces: "We are waiting for you in Dabiq."
Although the group has been exploiting this apocalyptic imagery aggressively since its 2014 land-grab in Iraq and Syria, references to the Dabiq prophecy have been used by IS and its precursors for far longer.
After the group announced its expansion from Iraq into Syria in 2013 - long before IS seized Dabiq from Syrian rebel fighters in August 2014 - the group's videos began to cite the prophecy routinely, suggesting that the town was in its sights.
Many of the films have been signed off with an image of an IS fighter walking slowly across a landscape carrying a large black banner accompanied by an audio clip from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant who founded al-Qaeda in Iraq, that mentions Dabiq.
Al-Zarqawi, who was killed in a US air strike in Iraq in 2006, is heard to say: "The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify... until it burns the Crusader armies in Dabiq."
That quote dates back to September 2004 - a few days before Zarqawi's group captured a Briton and two American hostages who were later beheaded.
It has since been used extensively in Dabiq magazine, whose launch two years ago signalled a clear intention to use the apocalyptic imagery to reach out to an international audience.
One aspect of life in Dabiq that has not been addressed by the group has been the apparent destruction of the tomb of one of the early caliphs of Islam - Suleiman Bin Abd al-Malik - who was buried in the town in the 8th Century.
Footage on YouTube, uploaded several days before the town fell to IS, appeared to show damage to the shrine said to have been caused by an explosion.
The person who uploaded it blamed the incident on IS or its supporters, which has a track record of demolishing shrines which it considers un-Islamic.

A man has been taken to hospital to be treated for the effects of breathing in smoke at the four-storey building on Turin Street, Bethnal Green.
Smoke was "pouring out of every window of the block" as flames engulfed the flat and spread to the roof, according to an eyewitness.
Bethnal Green Road has been closed as 72 firefighters tackle the blaze.
It is unclear how the fire started.
As the fire spread the roof of the building was reduced to "smouldering wood in about five minutes" according to eyewitness George Shankar.
"There was smoke everywhere, pouring out of every single window in the block of flats, and you couldn't see more than 50m down the road" Mr Shankar said.
Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, Rushanara Ali, who is at the scene described residents as "anxious given what has happened in Grenfell tower".
But she said the scene was calm despite thick smoke being blown into the surrounding areas by high winds.
The introduction of compulsory national spelling, grammar and punctuation tests for six and seven-year-olds was met with cries of "really?" from many Key Stage 1 teachers.
Many complained, through their unions, that it was not the best idea to introduce the technical language of grammar to children who were still learning to read.
Others may have spent time explaining to parents why they were being pestered with questions about adverbs.
And if teaching unions are to be believed, many teachers have simply felt unable to cope with the amount of change going on simultaneously in primary schools.
Too much, too soon, too quickly, they chorused to deaf ears.
This has been the war cry of teaching union leaders since the early days of the administration of Michael Gove - a man who prided himself on being in a hurry.
Following the introduction of a new primary national curriculum in 2014-15, Year 2 and Year 6 children are to be tested on their knowledge of it this May.
A new set of Sats (standard assessment tests) was devised to measure progress and hold schools to account, but many of the materials associated with them have not been readily available to schools.
For example, it was not until February that writing materials were published for primary school reading assessments, sparking concerns that civil servants were struggling to keep up.
Teachers were clamouring for information just to find out at what standard they should be trying to achieve.
James Bowen, former head teacher at Mill Rythe Junior School in Hampshire, said: "We didn't start the year knowing what we were aiming for.
"In previous years we have had past papers to go on. We have known what the criteria is and how it is going to be used to assess the children.
"This year it's all been trickling out gradually.
"Then when it did come in, the standard was a lot higher than what was actually promised."
Then in early March, the dynamics began to shift.
A dialogue between Schools Minister Nick Gibb and head teachers, through the NAHT union, led to some changes in the way Sats were to be administered and used this year.
The DfE issued a clarification document giving teachers more breathing space to file their writing assessments and an assurance that this year's Sats results would not be used as a cause for intervention in schools deemed not to be doing so well.
And when it was published, Mr Gibb praised the approach of the union, saying: "Throughout this important reform process we have worked closely with teachers and head teachers and continue to listen to the concerns of the profession as the details of the new arrangements are finalised.
"We are working constructively with the teaching profession and their representatives to find solutions to some of the remaining issues."
Since then, however, that document has been reclarified five times - yet more evidence of a department under pressure.
Then in early April, ministers were forced to abandon their plans for new so-called baselines tests for Reception pupils.
Teachers had been grappling to get to grips with the new assessments and associated systems for assessing their young pupils.
An official comparability study of three approved for use in schools were found incomparable, and the DfE had no choice but to kick these assessments into the long grass.
Heads and teachers mumbled "we told you so!" under their breaths yet again.
As Mary Bousted, head of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, put it this week: "The DfE's chaotic reform of assessment in primary schools has been plagued by an unacceptable string of errors, miscommunications and delays.
"Time and time again the concerns of experienced and knowledgeable educational professionals have been sidelined in the pursuit of introducing reforms before they are ready."
And with a swathe of staff cuts at the Department for Education and budget reductions of their own, perhaps the bureaucracy itself is feeling the pressure of Mr Gove's, and his successor Nicky Morgan's, heady ambitions for schools.
The 69-year-old was appointed as a football advisor by the Championship promotion hopefuls on Wednesday.
Redknapp, who has been out of football since leaving QPR in February 2015, will work with Rams head coach Darren Wassall until the end of the season.
"No chance. I will not be manager of Derby County this season," he said.
"Darren is here until the end of the season and hopefully many years to come. The chairman has said Darren is managing until the end of the season and that he's good enough. That's what he told me. He is the manager.
"If for any reason he doesn't stay until the end of the season and he goes I will not take over as manager - I will go as well.
"I'm here to help until the end of the season, that's it. If we go up who knows what could happen next season. The chairman may say he wants me to come back next year. But I'm only looking at these nine games, plus possibly the play-offs."
He also stressed he was there in an advisory capacity: "I'm not director of football. I won't be bringing any players in, I won't be making any signings," he said.
"I'll sit in the stand. I'm not going to run down to the dug-out or have a hotline to the touch line."
The emergency loan window for Football League clubs closes on 24 March and Redknapp is known as a shrewd dealer in the transfer market.
But he insisted he was merely at the club to offer Wassall a second opinion when he needs it.
The Rams are fifth in the Championship, seven points outside the automatic promotion places.
Redknapp, who has also agreed to manage Jordan for their next two World Cup qualifiers, is confident the club have the team in place to earn promotion to the Premier League this season.
"They've got an excellent group of players. It is a group that should be getting promoted," he told BBC Radio Derby.
"The chairman has invested big. Everything they have wanted they have been given and now it's time for them to give something back."
He was famous for mixing the real and the fantastic but do the Argentinian's works stand the test of time?
Thirty years after his death, BBC News asked fellow Argentine authors to pick their favourite Borges quote and explain why we should keep reading Borges today.
This sentence is extraordinary and I believe that it summarises everything that Borges has left us: not only a perfect prose, an exact and unequalled manner of saying things, but also a strong conviction that what matters is not the text in itself but how we approach that text.
Borges is still so important because no one better has come after him, in the sense that no one has been able to produce prose as poignant.
There has been no one that has thought about and restructured all the literature that came before him.
There has been no one that has combined the elements that he combined, such as humour, absolute dedication to writing, and his will to do everything from journalism and scripts to prologues and anthologies.
Finally, he was so important because he is one of the three writers, together with Joyce and Kafka, who defined the 20th Century.
Borges represents a watershed in the literary universe, as if great literary tributaries such as Dante, Cervantes, Poe and Kafka converged in his work.
I treasure above all his audacity with adjectives, how he finds the right verb, as if he were diving in the treasure of language.
It's as if that story had been written with six hands by the serious Borges, the repressed Borges that didn't write about what he felt and the Borges that used to blend himself with [writer and friend] Adolfo Bioy Casares under the pseudonym Bustos Domecq.
Borges' books impregnate us with a Borgean conscience in the same way that the Bible leaves believers a Catholic conscience.
It is here where you see the genius, the flashiness and the constraint of Borges.
This condenses to the maximum level universal literature and even fictional literature with a flowing language of impeccable mastery.
Borges is Argentina's most important writer, but he's not the most read one.
For years we got lost in ideological discussions about his politics and about what class he belonged to.
His prose is unequalled, as unequalled as the worlds that he created through his prose.
Borges might not have been the greatest writer of the 20th Century, but he was certainly its greatest reader.
He gave new life to the Western and much of the Eastern tradition by reading, experiencing and re-writing the classics from Homer and the Anglo-Saxons onwards.
He made them come alive, making them into texts that seem to have been written yesterday, having us in mind as their readers.
Borges was not a mystic, although he probably would have liked to be one.
No mystic I have read has been able "to see a world in a grain of sand" as Borges has.
Born in 1899 in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, Jorge Luis Borges wrote short stories, poems, essays, articles and translations.
Ricardo Piglia, one of Argentina's foremost literary critics, argues his fictional worlds transformed the idea of fiction itself.
But recognition of his work was not immediate. While he was awarded the first Prix International jointly with Samuel Beckett in 1961, he was never granted the Nobel.
Argentine writer and essayist Maria Negroni says that Borges' fame has grown since he died in 1986 because "one starts understanding him as time goes by".
Borges was fascinated by labyrinths, mirrors, reflections and time, something which was reflected in many of his stories, such as The Aleph.
In The Aleph, the narrator describes a point in space from which he can observe everything in the universe simultaneously, which is typical of Borges' interest in time and space.
Going into this weekend's return to Premiership action, Wasps remain top, with a European Champions Cup quarter-final at Leinster to follow.
But 14-times capped Cipriani, 29, knows that international recognition is only an option if Wasps continue to shine.
"If we keep doing well at Wasps, then we all have the same message," he said.
"Any English player would be trying to do that. Whether you're in the England squad or not, you'll get looked at. It's down to everyone just to play well.
"Eddie Jones is very diligent in how many people he talks to and to just who he speaks to. He speaks to everyone every couple of weeks. That's the calibre of the man," Cipriani told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
Former Melbourne Rebels and Sale stand-off Cipriani, now in his second spell with Wasps, has not played for England since August 2015.
He was left out of the 2015 Rugby World Cup squad by Stuart Lancaster and has so far been overlooked by Jones, but Cipriani says that it is simply nice to have been kept in the loop, especially at a time when Wasps are on a roll.
"It's good to have contact from the top," added Cipriani. "Whether that means you're close or not, I don't know. It's not really for me to worry about.
"I'm just pretty excited about how things are going at Wasps. It could be a very special end to the season."
Danny Cipriani was talking to Clive Eakin (BBC Coventry & Warwickshire)
Eighteen of the birds were taken in by Stapeley Grange, Nantwich, Cheshire, after their owner died.
Manager Lee Stewart said it was unusual to have so many at the centre.
"We'd love to see all 21 of them re-homed for the new year. They would be an excellent addition to a bird lover's household," he said.

The 23-year-old striker, who spent most of last season on loan at Sunderland, rejected moves to the Black Cats and QPR over the summer.
Clubs submitted a maximum 25-man squad on 3 September, and Tottenham's Benoit Assou-Ekotto has been left out.
Players under the age of 21 are eligible above the limit of 25 players.
Both Liverpool and Manchester City registered 59 under-21 players.
Liverpool accepted an offer from QPR for Borini during Monday's transfer deadline day.
But the Italian rejected the move, later tweeting: "Finally the madness is finished! I protected the MAN and the player that I am today, taking all the responsibility of the situation and for people who didn't want it.
"I'm VERY happy with myself to have taken such an important decision!"
Borini has made 13 Premier League appearances for Liverpool since joining from Roma in July 2012.
Meanwhile, Cameroon international Assou-Ekotto, who spent much of last season on loan at QPR, looks to have an uncertain future at Spurs after he was omitted.
Manchester United pair Marouane Fellaini and Anderson, who were both linked with moves away from Old Trafford, have been included in Louis van Gaal's squad.
Peter Odemwingie was not named in in Stoke's squad, with the striker facing the possibility of being ruled out for the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury.

With the event reduced to 54 holes by bad weather, Levy completed his second round in 63, eight under par, to close in on a third European Tour title.
Swede Michael Jonzon also shot a 63 to sit second on 13 under at Bad Griesbach, with England's Ross Fisher on 12 under after a six-under 65.
Martin Kaymer, part of Europe's Ryder Cup team, is in a tie for fourth place.
The German is 11 under overall after a seven-under 64.
Alexander Levy: "I will just go and practise a bit, go for a gym session and be ready for tomorrow. I'm just trying to think about my own game and do the best I can."
Ross Fisher: "There's still a lot to play for and it's nice to know that we've only got one round to go. It's a tough decision but I think they've made the right call."
Martin Kaymer: "I just need to keep going, and obviously Levy is playing great golf. He played well last week too and you have to give him credit. It's a little bit of a different approach now from playing four rounds."

Players such as striker Eniola Aluko - the star of Chelsea's win over Notts County in last year's final - and legendary Arsenal forward Kelly Smith may be familiar names, but the domestic game in England now boasts more overseas stars than ever before.
So who are the players to look out for on Saturday?
Manager Emma Hayes has called her Chelsea's 'little magician' and South Korea forward Ji So-Yun certainly has the skill to conjure up goals for the Blues.
Having netted the only goal in last year's final and in Chelsea's 2015 semi-final win over Manchester City, Ji's goals were crucial to her side winning their first major trophy.
And the 2015 PFA Women's Player of the Year has been at it again in the cup already this year, as her precise free-kick saved Chelsea in the semi-finals against City in April, sending the match into extra-time, when they had looked destined for a frustrating exit.
Unquestionably one of the most skilful female players in the world, Ji has the natural ability to steal the limelight at Wembley and be a match-winner once again.

Nigeria forward Asisat Oshoala, who has 11 goals in 17 international appearances, could be one of Arsenal's wildcard picks on Saturday.
The 2015 BBC Women's Footballer of the Year, who finished as the top scorer at the Women's Under-20 World Cup in 2014, joined the Gunners from Liverpool in March and scored on her league debut against Reading.
Her pace can hurt any team, but it is not clear whether she will start for Pedro Martinez Losa's side, having made three starts and three substitute appearances so far this season.
Having won nine FA Cups already in her career, Chelsea's Katie Chapman will be bidding to add yet another medal to her illustrious CV, and this time she is up against her former club.
But she is also facing her England team-mate, and the Lionesses' most-capped player, Fara Williams.
Like Oshoala, Williams moved from Liverpool this winter, leaving a club with whom she had won back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014.
The two veterans of the English game will go head-to-head for control of the midfield at Wembley - but could another, younger, Lioness take the headlines instead?
Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs, 23, has already shown she can produce goals in big games, netting a superb brace in November's Continental Cup final, as Arsenal beat Notts County 3-0.
If you're looking for a player who has shown she can handle serious pressure, look no further than Arsenal's 19-year-old Leah Williamson.
Last April, the versatile teenager hit the headlines in the most unusual of circumstances, playing for the England Under-19 side.
She had to take a nerve-wracking penalty kick, five days on from when it was originally awarded, after an unprecedented intervention by Uefa.

Williamson had converted the original penalty, in a crucial European Championships qualifier against Norway, only for the German referee to mistakenly cancel it out.
Uefa ordered it to be taken again, both sides returned to play less than two minutes of football, and Williamson netted from the spot to secure England's qualification for the finals.
A breakthrough season in Arsenal's first team followed and, as one of the rising stars in the English game, this will surely not be her last cup final.
After battling back from depression and later returning to football following the sudden death of her mother, Fran Kirby won the hearts of so many across the nation when she scored for England at the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
Then came the relatively big-money move from her childhood club Reading to Chelsea, and then came the pressure.
But under that pressure, Kirby delivered, scoring as Chelsea beat Sunderland to clinch the league title in October and then scoring the club's first ever Women's Champions League goal, as they overcame Scottish champions Glasgow City.
This year, the player that England boss Mark Sampson dubbed 'mini-Messi' after her timely intervention in June's 2-1 win over Mexico, has gone from strength to strength and netted both goals in Chelsea's 2-0 league win over Arsenal last month.
She is certainly one of the in-form players in the Women's Super League and a safe bet to continue making a name for herself.
If Saturday's final goes to penalties, Arsenal will have confidence in their keeper, the Netherlands' Sari van Veenendaal, after her heroics in their quarter-final tie against Notts County.
The young shot stopper's three saves in the shoot-out helped them beat Notts 4-3 on penalties, having also knocked out Birmingham City on penalties in the last 16.
Her opposite number on Saturday, Chelsea and Sweden's Hedvig Lindahl, kept the most clean sheets in 2015 - eight in 14 Women's Super League games, and is in good form.
They will both be expected to impress for their countries at next summer's European Championships.
In 2015, opposition managers were hailing Chelsea's "magnificent" front four of Aluko, Gemma Davison, Ji and Kirby.
But now that four has become five, with the addition of Birmingham captain Karen Carney in the winter.
It is unclear which four of the five manager Hayes might opt to start with, but with England duo Davison and Carney on the wings, Chelsea will inevitably be dangerous.
Among those trying to stop them will be England defensive duo of right-back Alex Scott and centre-back Casey Stoney, who team up once again with iconic former England forward Smith, in search of yet more silverware.
The trio were all part of the Arsenal side that won the 2014 final at Stadium MK, beating Everton 2-0.
Other internationals preparing for Saturday's game include Arsenal's Spain trio Marta Corredera, Vicky Losada and Natalia, their young England striker Danielle Carter, who netted a hat-trick on her international debut, and Chelsea's reliable England defenders Gilly Flaherty and Claire Rafferty.
It is a chance for them all to shine under the Wembley arch and the watchful eyes of millions on live television.

Surrey Police has released footage on YouTube after driver Grzegorz Musial, of south London, was jailed over the incident.
The victim's ordeal began when uninsured Musial clipped his wing mirror in a car park in Camberley.
After saying he would call police, the victim was hit by Musial, who then drove off with him on the bonnet.
The footage, captured from the dashboard of a lorry, shows the victim hanging on as the car was driven along the A331.
Officers said the man was finally thrown on to the road and suffered serious ankle injuries, a broken nose and numerous cuts and bruises, last October.
Musial, of West Barnes Lane, New Malden, drove off but later called police to report he feared he had hurt someone, the force said.
He admitted causing GBH, dangerous driving, driving without insurance and failing to stop at the scene of an accident, at Guildford Crown Court.
He was jailed last week for 14 months and banned from driving for 18 months.
Det Sgt Yahya Aslam said it was a "terrifying ordeal for the victim who ended up literally clinging on for his life".
Darren Lawson, 41, from Dunbar, took the items from storerooms at NHS Lothian and Gianni Donofrio, 47, of Prestonpans, sold them on eBay.
They stole from Duncan Street Dental Centre in Edinburgh and Edenhall Hospital in Musselburgh in 2013.
They were sentenced at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Sheriff Frank Crowe said: "Both of you were in positions of trust. You were previously of good character and admitted the offences at an early stage, but I do find that taking advantage of the NHS and stealing items is a matter the public would be concerned about."
Lawson, a storeman and driver for NHS Lothian, had pled guilty previously to stealing dental equipment between 5 March and 5 September 2013.
Donofrio, a facilities site supervisor at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, pled guilty to resetting the stolen goods between the same period.
Sentences had been deferred for background reports.
The thefts came to light when a dentist, who had bought some of the equipment, contacted the manufacturers to ask if it was covered by warranty.
Checks by the company showed the equipment was part of a consignment sold to NHS Lothian.
Mary Moultrie, defence solicitor for Lawson, said at the time of the theft her client's financial situation was "extremely difficult".
She said: "He is genuinely ashamed and embarrassed about his actions. He is assessed as being at low risk of re-offending, but the report says he has suicidal tendencies, anxiety and depression."
Angela Craig, Donofrio's lawyer, said he had told the social worker: "You should not take what is not yours," and said such actions were "immoral".
Sheriff Crowe told the men: "Clearly there was some laxity in the system, but you took advantage of that and you had a duty of trust to your employers."
Essex Police has launched a murder inquiry and is currently trying to find the suspect following the incident at 23:45 BST on Monday.
Much of the town centre has been cordoned off, with "a large proportion" of Station Road and Pier Avenue closed.
The force warned business owners and employees that many premises would not be able to open on Tuesday morning.
A mobile police station has been set up in Station Road.
Any witnesses or anyone who has information about the incident is asked to contact detectives or call Crimestoppers.
The B1032 High Street is closed between Station Road and the A133 Carnarvon Road. There are also closures on Rosemary Road, Station Road and Pier Avenue.
Offshore industry worker Craig Grant died early on Friday.
Jonas Marcius, 21, Kiel Hauley, 32, and Adrian Morley, 32, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court where they made no plea and were released on bail.
Earlier, relatives of Mr Grant described him as a "devoted family man".
They said in a statement: "Craig was at his happiest when spending time with his son Owen and wife Fiona.
"He will be sorely missed and his loss will leave a hole in the lives of everyone who knew him."

Northumbria Police said officers were investigating allegations of fraud in relation to South Shields Day Trips, which arranges visits to theme parks.
The force has received 200 complaints and all trips have now been halted.
Those affected are being urged to attend a meeting at Chuter Ede school, Galsworthy Road, on 11 August.
A 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and bailed.
Det Insp Paul Stewart, who is leading the investigation, said: "We have now made contact with all customers, however, due the volume have not yet taken information from all of them and I would urge any customers who have not yet been spoken to by police to attend the meeting between 5pm and 9pm.
"If they cannot attend we will make contact with them in due course but would ask they are patient."
Dr Kent Brantly, 33, thanked supporters for their prayers at a news conference in Atlanta. Nancy Writebol, 59, was discharged on Tuesday.
The two were brought to the US for treatment three weeks ago.
The outbreak has killed more than 1,300 people in West Africa, with many of the deaths occurring in Liberia.
"Today is a miraculous day," said Dr Brantly, who appeared healthy if pallid as he addressed reporters on Thursday at Emory University hospital.
"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family. As a medical missionary, I never imagined myself in this position."
He said Ebola "was not on the radar" when he and his family moved to Liberia in October.
After his family returned to the US as the Ebola outbreak tore through West Africa, he continued to treat Ebola patients and woke up on 23 July feeling "under the weather".
Dr Brantly said he lay in bed for nine days, getting progressively sicker and weaker. On 1 August, he was flown to Atlanta for treatment at Emory.
Emory infectious disease specialist Dr Bruce Ribner said after rigorous treatment and testing officials were confident Dr Brantly had recovered "and he can return to his family, his community and his life without public health concerns".
The group for which he was working in Liberia, Samaritan's Purse, said they were celebrating his recovery.
"Today I join all of our Samaritan's Purse team around the world in giving thanks to God as we celebrate Dr Kent Brantly's recovery from Ebola and release from the hospital," Franklin Graham said in a statement.
Nancy Writebol's husband David said in a statement that she was free of the virus but was significantly weakened.
The family decided to leave the hospital privately in order to allow her to rest and recuperate.
Meanwhile, South Africa on Thursday said non-citizens arriving from Ebola-affected areas of West Africa - the countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - would not be allowed into the country.
And police in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, fired live rounds and tear gas during protests after a quarantine was imposed to contain the spread of the deadly virus.
Residents of the capital's West Point slum area said the barbed wire blockade stops them buying food and working.
There is no cure for Ebola, one of the deadliest diseases known to humans, with a fatality rate in this outbreak of 50-60%.
But both Dr Brantly and Mrs Writebol received an experimental treatment known as ZMapp.
The drug, which has only been made in extremely limited quantities, had never been tested on humans and it remains unclear if it is responsible for their recovery.
ZMapp was also given to a Spanish priest, who died, and three Liberian health workers, who are showing signs of improvement.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is calling on Mr Trump to "act strongly to squelch harassment".
They also urge Mr Trump to "reach out to the communities he's injured".
Last week Mr Trump repudiated the fringe "alt-right" group whose members celebrated his election win with Nazi salutes.
The SPLC has released two reports into the aftermath of the businessman's win.
Along with representatives of teachers' unions and other civil rights groups, the SPLC outlines how they say Mr Trump's rhetoric and actions have affected US society.
The SPLC has been monitoring social media and news reports, and an online form that they have created for Americans to self-report hateful incidents.
"Mr Trump should take responsibility for what's occurring, forcefully reject hate and bigotry," the organisation said.
In their report, Ten Days After, they report finding hundreds of cases of attacks against minorities - including instances of violence and intimidation - some of which they directly link to the surprise Trump victory on 8 November.
"An awful lot of these crimes are directly linked to the Trump campaign in the sense that graffiti was left or words were shouted that directly invoked Trump," Senior SPLC fellow Mark Potok told the BBC.
Multiple instances have been recorded of black people being told to move to the back of the bus, a seating arrangement which was required under Jim Crow-era segregation laws.
The words "Whites Only" and "Trump Nation" were painted on to a church with a large immigrant population and a gay man was pulled from his car and attacked by an assailant who used a slur to say "the president says we can kill all you", the report finds.
In their second report, titled After the Election, The Trump Effect they surveyed 10,000 educators, finding that 90% have seen their school's climate negatively impacted by what they call the "Trump effect".
"It's time for our president-elect to use his voice to effectively and unequivocally denounce these hateful acts that are done in his name," said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
The report also finds that more than a quarter of the teachers observed incidents of bigotry and harassment "that can be directly traced to election rhetoric", including swastika graffiti, physical fights and threats of violence.
The SPLC has been very critical of Mr Trump's decision to appoint a right-wing media executive to the role of chief White House strategist.
The group accused Stephen Bannon of being "the main driver behind Breitbart [News] becoming a white ethno-nationalist propaganda mill".
The female horse, named Flash Dance, became trapped at Flattmoss Farm, near East Kilbride, on Tuesday afternoon.
After initial efforts to free her failed, there were fears that the 440kg (69st) animal may have to be put down.
She was freed after a local farmer used a JCB digger to scoop away mud which allowed fire crews to haul her clear.
Eddie Kelly, manager at East Kilbride fire station, said: "This was a challenging and time-critical operation.
"Flash Dance was stuck in deep mud, on a slope, and she was tired, exhausted and very cold.
"We were able to use our specialist rescue skills and equipment to find a solution and, by working with the local farming community, were able to free Flash Dance and reunite her with her owner. The assistance given to us was invaluable."
Firefighters were called to the farm, in South Lanarkshire, at about 16:00 on Tuesday, after Flash Dance slipped and fell into the ditch while crossing a small bridge.
Despite the efforts of owner Kath Mulholland and livery owner John McIntyre and his family, the animal could not be freed and became cold and exhausted.
When firefighters arrived they used ropes and an inflatable air bag to try and raise the horse to her feet but she kept sinking into the soft ground.
A local farmer was then enlisted and he used his JCB digger to scoop away six feet of mud.
This allowed firefighters to get underneath the animal, secure ropes around her body and hoist her clear.
The animal was said to be "tired, cold and dirty but otherwise uninjured".
Ms Mulholland, 58, said: "The firefighters would not give up. They were fantastic. I just want to thank them, John and his family, the farmer and everyone else who helped."
Mr McIntyre was involved in the rescue operation along with wife Barbara, 63, daughter Susan, 39, her husband Scott, 42, and daughter Sarah, 29.
Residents in Overdale Road, Old Basford reported a number of shots being fired just after 15:00 BST on Tuesday.
The area has been cordoned off by police who said they had put on extra patrols and were studying CCTV.
The woman, 33, was arrested on suspicion of a firearms offence and is in custody. The 22-year-old victim did not require hospital treatment.
Officers have appealed for witnesses and information.

Foley, 42, died on Saturday in the Paris hotel where Munster were staying before Sunday's scheduled European Champions Cup game at Racing 92.
"Our anguish at the sudden loss of Anthony is bottomless," said a statement released on Monday.
The statement thanked the "legions" who have sent messages of sympathy.
Hundreds of people continued have signed books of condolence at Munster's Thomond Park ground in Limerick and other venues.
A minute's silence was also observed at Limerick courthouse on Monday.
Foley, whose father Brendan also played for Munster and Ireland, is survived by wife Olive and two sons.
"We wish to thank everyone for their support. It will help carry us through these darkest days," added the Foley family statement.
"With Anthony's passing, we have ultimately lost an amazing, adoring and loving father and husband; an equally caring, loyal and devoted son and brother; a central and go-to figure for the wider Foley and Hogan families.
"We know too that his sudden death has brought the rugby worlds of Shannon RFC, Munster, Ireland and much further afield crashing down.

Foley led Munster to their first European Cup triumph in 2006 and also captained his country on three occasions as he played 201 times for the Irish province and earned 62 international caps.
After joining Munster's coaching staff following his retirement in 2008, Foley was appointed forwards coach in 2011 before taking the head coach's role three years later.
He remained head coach after South African Rassie Erasmus was appointed director of rugby in July.
Former Ireland boss Eddie O'Sullivan expected Foley to become Ireland coach in the future.
"Leadership is a special skill. It's about knowing what to say and the time to say it. Anthony got that," said O'Sullivan, who was in charge of Ireland between late 2001 and 2008.
O'Sullivan's predecessor as Ireland coach, current Wales and British & Irish Lions boss Warren Gatland, said Foley "epitomised Irish and Munster rugby".
"He was a real man of Munster, passionate and emotional but also modest. He kept his head down and got on with it," said Gatland.
"He was a really intelligent player and achieved so much on the field. It's a huge loss as he was someone who has given so much to the game."
The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) said its budget has been cut by 32%, while the Welsh government insists it is 16.3%.
Universities Wales said it would ask the Welsh government to "reconsider" the reduction.
The Welsh government said it had to take "tough decisions".
While an increase in education and skills funding was announced in Tuesday's draft budget, HEFCW said its core budget would be reduced from £129m this year to £87m next year.
But the Welsh government said about £21m of this is in fact being moved as part of a re-routing of the tuition fee grant - given to Welsh students to avoid them paying full fees - from HEFCW to the Student Loans Company.
This money, it said, would "be used for exactly the same purposes as it was last year".
Universities Wales, which represents the interest of Welsh institutions, said that, while the details still have to be examined, it was "seriously concerned" at first glance at the proposed cuts.
"Given these cuts are not sustainable for the sector, we will be asking the Welsh government to reconsider its position before the budget is confirmed next year," a spokesman said.
Universities Wales said it was the sixth successive year of major cuts to the higher education budget, with a reduction of £365m, or 81%, since 2010-11.
HEFCW spends its core budget on widening access to poorer students, helping those studying part-time, Welsh-medium courses, funding research and "topping-up" the cost of more expensive courses such as medicine and dentistry.
Its chief executive, Dr David Blaney, said: "Our investment decisions respond to an annual remit from the Welsh government.
"A reduction of 32% in our budget in one year will inevitably have considerable impact on these priority areas. The council will meet early in the new year to consider the implications of the budget settlement."
A Cardiff University spokesman said it was "too early to say" the potential consequences of the cuts outlined in the draft budget.
However, he said the university would be "very concerned" about any impact on its medical and dentistry programmes.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "We have had to make some tough decisions within this budget, including a £20m cut to HEFCW, and we recognise that this will present challenges.
"However, given that the overall income to the higher education sector, from private and public services is £1.3bn, this reduction is actually a relatively small one."
Cambridge are three points off a play-off spot while Newport's cushion over the bottom two is cut to 11 points.
The Us had the better of a low quality contest, with Newport failing to produce a single effort on target.
James Dunne scored the winner midway through the second half after smart work from Luke Berry.
Newport County manager Warren Feeney told BBC Radio Wales: "It was very frustrating. No way did I think we deserved to lose a game - I thought we deserved to win the game.
"But we're not being clinical in both boxes. I don't think we're being ruthless enough.
"We've just got to pick them up now and go next week. We need one win and I've every confidence we can get that. But at the moment we're in that little bit of a lull."
The 46-year-old former England and Newcastle star, now a Match of the Day pundit, is suing for £9m in damages.
He claims financial advisor Kevin Neal was "careless" and "dishonest", while pension specialist Suffolk Life had breached its regulatory duties.
Both Suffolk Life and Mr Neal dispute the claims, with Mr Neal describing them as driven by "pure greed and ego".
Mr Shearer is also suing two defunct companies - Kevin Neal Associates and Kevin Neal Associates Wealth Management.
The barrister leading Mr Shearer's legal team, Gerard McMeel, said the claims centred on pension investments.
In a written case outline, he said his client had "limited knowledge or experience" of making investments and he and his wife Lainya relied on professional advisers and "those with responsibility to look after their interests".
Javan Herberg, representing Suffolk Life, said Mr Shearer and his advisers were responsible for their investment decisions.
He said Mr Shearer's claims that Mr Neal had "effectively swindled" the couple required some investigation.
Mr Neal, who is defending himself, said the Shearers had made "serious money" out of one investment fund.
He said it was for the judge, Mr Justice Leggatt, to decide whether the Shearers were "naive" or "sophisticated" investors.
Mr Neal said the Shearers had "pushed" him to put more money into one fund, and he had not been "gung-ho", but had "acted in good faith at all times".
He added: "This claim is just driven by pure greed and ego."
In his 18-year playing career Shearer made more than 600 appearances for clubs including Newcastle, Southampton and Blackburn, and won more than 60 England caps.
The trial continues.
The match will take place during a 10-day training camp ahead of the opening game of the World Cup against Australia in Melbourne on 27 October.
Wayne Bennett's team also face Lebanon and France in World Cup Group A.
England honed their preparations with five tries in a 30-10 victory over Samoa in Sydney last week.
National team manager Jamie Peacock stayed on in Australia after that match to apply the finishing touches to their World Cup plans.
"I've been to six airports in six days - Sydney, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Melbourne and Perth - to check out all the hotels, venues and training facilities we're going to be using in the World Cup and every possible route England could go down," he said.
The Affiliated States Championship is an annual rugby league competition run by the Australian Rugby League involving the four affiliated states - Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia - plus the Australian Police and Australian Defence Force.
The Brazil international, 24, had to be replaced during last Sunday's 4-1 La Liga win at Granada.
It is a setback for Barca, who are aiming for a Spanish league, Champions League and Copa del Rey treble.
Rafinha has made 28 appearances for the Nou Camp side this season, including 18 in La Liga where he has scored six goals.
"Rafinha has had an arthroscopy in the right knee to solve an injury in the internal meniscus," a Barca statement said.
"The player will be out for around four months."
Rafinha, who came through Barcelona's academy, has won two La Liga titles and the Champions League with the club.
Education had become "one of the first casualties of the crisis" in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, it added.
The "most marginalised" would bear the brunt of the crisis for generations to come if "safe schools" were not reopened, the group said.
Ebola was declared a health emergency after it was identified in March.
Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma said the country still had only 406 beds, or less than one-third of the number required, to treat Ebola patients.
The UK has been heavily criticised by Sierra Leoneans for being slow in building a promised treatment centre.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says 6,055 people have died of the deadly virus in the three states.
Schools were shut to reduce the risk of children becoming infected.
The Global Business Coalition for Education said reopening schools would not only give children an education, but it would also provide a "first line of defence in tracing and monitoring potential cases of Ebola".
Indications were that 54% of children were unlikely to return to the classroom if they were out of school for a year, its report, published in collaboration with A World at School, said.
"Being out of school can have a crippling impact for vulnerable children, especially girls who are more subject to high-risk situations, including pregnancy and early marriage," it added.
"The risk of child labour increases rapidly as contributing to the household economy becomes critical for families."
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama renewed calls on Tuesday for Congress to approve $6bn (£3.8bn) in emergency aid to fight the outbreak.
He made the plea as medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) again strongly criticised the international response.
It described it as patchy and slow, with the job of tackling the crisis largely left to doctors, nurses and charity organisations.
The MSF report said foreign governments - notably the UK in Sierra Leone and most recently China in Liberia - were continuing to build Ebola treatment centres.
But these were sometimes in the wrong places and using under-qualified local staff.
This week 250 Nigerian healthcare workers have been trained in Lagos ready for deployment to Ebola-hit countries as part of the African Union's efforts to help combat the epidemic.
The exhibition will feature material from JK Rowling's archives, a range of wizarding books and information about the origin of the philosopher's stone.
It will run from 20 October 2017 until 28 February 2018.
"We are thrilled to be working with JK Rowling and Bloomsbury," said curator Jamie Andrews.
He added that the aim was "to inspire fans with the magic of our own British Library collections".
"We're (the British Library) absolutely the right place to be doing this exhibition... we're the home of stories, we're next door to King's Cross - platform 9 and three quarters - and we have one of the greatest collections on the history of magic," Andrews, who is the library's head of culture and learning, told the BBC.
"That feels like a pretty unbeatable combination."
Tickets for the exhibition can be bought from spring 2017.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the first book in Rowling's hugely successful series, was first published in 1997.
Six other Potter novels were subsequently written and the series spawned a hit film franchise.
The play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, is currently running in the West End in London.
The script, published last month, has become the fastest-selling book in the UK this decade, selling more than 680,000 copies in its first three days alone.

Asadullah Amarkhil said fighting in Kunduz city had stopped, and there were large numbers of Taliban casualties.
On Monday, Taliban fighters appeared to have breached the strategic northern city.
The fighting came a day before a major conference in Brussels to raise funds to ensure Afghan stability.
Kunduz was briefly captured by the Taliban in September 2015 in what was a major victory.
After days of back-and-forth fighting, government forces, backed by Nato, recaptured the city.
Residents said people were fleeing the city if they could, after the latest fighting.
"There have been many casualties, both civilian and military. There has been fighting in the streets. People are very worried. They have lost hope in the government. It is the second time," one man, Massoud, told the BBC Afghan service.
Another man, Mubarak Shah, said: "There is no electricity. People are struggling to find water and food. Shops which sell food are only open in the suburbs of the city where the government is in control."
Taliban militants entered Kunduz early on Monday and seized some central areas.
Its spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said on Twitter that it was a "massive operation". The Taliban later said they had seized the roundabout and several checkpoints, but did not claim to have captured the city.
But by late on Monday, Nato forces and local police said they were back in control, with additional troops, including special forces, being flown in.
The governor said in the early hours of Tuesday that the clear-up operation was continuing but people should "start their daily life and go to their work".
"If there is any Taliban hiding inside the houses, we will clear that after dawn."
At least one member of the security forces was killed, while there were various conflicting reports on the number of militant casualties.
Kunduz police chief Mohammad Qasim Jangalbagh told AFP that "hundreds of Taliban fighters" were killed.

What we know about the Taliban leader
The capture of Kunduz by the Taliban last September was a huge blow to the country's Western-backed government. The militants abandoned the city after four days but they had proved their growing capability by taking their first major city.
The group raided Tarin Kot, the provincial capital of Uruzgan, last month.
Afghan government forces are estimated to have control over no more than two-thirds of Afghanistan.
The two-day conference in Brussels, attended by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and led by the EU, aims to raise billions of dollars to fund Afghanistan until 2020.
Officials have said financial support from the international community is essential to secure the country's stability.
The EU's Special Representative for Afghanistan, Franz-Michael Mellbin, said the conference was "buying four more years for Afghanistan" as well as seeking a "realistic" peace process.
"If we don't achieve peace, it's simply going to be extremely costly for the foreseeable future," he told Reuters.
The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) has said it receives information on severe weather alerts.
However, it is concerned members are not informed of terror threats.
It is hosting its annual conference in Westport.
RTÉ reports that the AGSI has called on Garda Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan to provide it with appropriate training to deal with the current terrorist threat level.
Its president Tim Galvin said some intelligence is sent out, but for the most part the vast majority of information is confined to specialist units.
The association also wants a review of the effectiveness of the amalgamation of garda districts and the closure of 95 stations.
It has also said gardaí should be provided with anti-ballistic vests rather than only stab-proof ones in the wake of incidents such as the Dublin weigh-in murder at the Regency Hotel in February.
The AGSI is disappointed by the decision of the Irish Minister for Justice, Frances Fitzgerald, not to attend the conference.
It has also said its members will march on the Irish parliament on the first day of the new government in protest over pay and conditions.
The 37-year-old midfielder featured for an hour of Sunday's 4-0 loss to Ross County at Pittodrie.
"I wanted to stay in football and, although there were a few possibilities on the go, to remain here was a no-brainer," Robson told the Dons website.
"Ultimately, I would like to manage one day and this is a great way to learn the ropes."
Robson, who started his career with Inverness Caley Thistle, was a league winner with Celtic in 2008 and enjoyed League Cup success with Celtic and Aberdeen.
Capped 17 times by Scotland, he moved to hometown club Aberdeen in 2013.
Cooper's decision was widely expected after he helped Dr Crokes win the All-Ireland Club title last month.
The All-Ireland club medal completed all the list of major honours available to the eight-time Allstar.
Cooper, now 33, made his Kerry senior debut in 2002 and played in four All-Ireland winning teams and helped his county win four National League titles.
That included a Division Two title in his debut season with the Kingdom.
Cooper, who was nicknamed the Gooch, scored a remarkable tally of 23 goals and 283 points in his 85 championship games for Kerry and has to be regarded as one of the greatest forwards in gaelic football history.
A statement from Kerry GAA described Cooper as "an exemplary sportsman".
"He endeared himself not only to the Kerry faithful but also to the wider GAA community where he was the perfect role model for our youth," added the statement.
Cooper described his his career as "an amazing journey and one that I never wanted to end".
"However, I feel that this is the right time for me to step away from intercounty football," said the Dr Crokes star.
"To my Kerry team-mates that I have soldiered with throughout the years, thank you for your guidance, patience and friendship.
"I feel extremely lucky to have experienced so many wonderful highlights with you all.
"To get the opportunity to play with, and against, some of the greatest players in the history of the GAA has given me memories that I will always treasure."
Cooper added that he was "fortunate to work with some outstanding Kerry managers" and also thanked the Kerry county board and fans for their support.
The 33-year-old added that he will continue to play for his club.
Gary Goldman is taking Disney to court, because he says that they copied ideas that he'd pitched in 2000 and 2009 for a very similar set of movies and TV programmes.
Although his ideas were rejected, he says that the Zootopia movie had the same title and theme, as well as copying settings and characters.
Disney has said it is not true.
In a statement, Disney said: "Mr. Goldman's lawsuit is riddled with patently false allegations.
"It is an unprincipled attempt to lay claim to a successful film he didn't create, and we will vigorously defend against it in court."

Crewe had been reduced to 10 men just after the hour mark when goalkeeper Ben Garratt was sent off for bringing down Yemi Odubade outside the box.
Eastleigh went ahead when substitute keeper Dan Nizic tripped Ross Lafayette and Strevens stepped up to score.
Crewe's best chance saw Ben Nugent's header from a corner fly wide.
The victory was a deserved one for Eastleigh who had enjoyed the better of the game at Gresty Road even before Garratt was dismissed.
The lively Odubade almost put the Spitfires ahead in the first half but saw his effort cleared off the line by Nugent.
Andy Drury's angled shot flew inches past the post and Odubade twice more went close as Eastleigh finished the stronger before the break.
The turning point in the match came when Odubade raced onto Drury's through ball, but Garratt misjudged his challenge and upended the striker a yard outside the area and was shown a straight red card.
Strevens made Eastleigh's dominance count when he sent Nizic the wrong way from the penalty spot 15 minutes from time and the visitors held on to reach the second round.
Eastleigh manager Chris Todd told BBC Radio Solent:

"I'm very proud of my players, they've put in an incredible shift and deserve to be in the second round.
"When he [Ben Strevens] stepped up to take that, I was praying he scored because he's such a nice guy and he loves football and he deserved that glory today.
"It was a great performance and we deserved to win the game."

Islamic State (IS) has overrun the camp in Syria, first built for Palestinians fleeing the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
The activist told the BBC by phone that there were acute food shortages.
The UN Security Council has demanded humanitarian access, saying the situation is "beyond inhumane".
The anti-government activist who did not want to be identified told the BBC World Service: "The humanitarian situation is very difficult. There is no food for the civilians who are stuck in the camp and still under siege.
"Also the medical situation is very bad, as most of the doctors fled the camp at the beginning of the fighting between Islamic State and the Palestinian group that was controlling most of Yarmouk before, Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis.
"There is a huge amount of suffering."
Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis was formed by Palestinian militia opposed to the Syrian government.
Prior to the Syrian civil war, Yarmouk had more than 150,000 refugees living there, and its own mosques, schools and public buildings.
It has been besieged by fighting between government troops and rebel forces since 2012.
The situation has worsened since IS launched an assault on 1 April.
The man, who has observed the camp for four years and currently lives there, said: "We haven't had electricity since 2013, when the regime bombed the power station. The UN aid has stopped coming into the camp. And civilians are under total siege.
"This disastrous situation is creating fear and anxiety among those who remained."
He described Yarmouk as a "ghost town" with civilians scared to be on the street and thousands taking refuge in neighbouring areas. Many of these areas are also coming under siege, he said.
He added: "We can't say IS has total control over the camp but they have taken over a lot of the buildings and offices."
He said he believed most IS fighters were local people who had given allegiance to the militant group, and not outsiders.
"What I understand from being inside the camp is that Islamic State says that once they've finished with the Beit al-Maqdis they will hand over those positions to [the rival jihadist al-Qaeda-affiliated group] al-Nusra Front."
Asked what was needed, he said: "The most dangerous thing civilians are facing is the regime's shelling of the camp with barrel bombs and mortar shells. They are causing more casualties because they are random.
"We need to find a way of getting food, medical supplies and medical teams into the camp. We also want aid agencies and humanitarian organisations to help evacuate people who are trapped in the camp."
The chairwoman of the UN Security Council, Jordan's ambassador Dina Kawar, has called for the protection of civilians and provision of humanitarian access and life-saving assistance.
Over the past few years it has made major strides in its efforts to raise millions out of poverty.
The discovery of major offshore oil reserves could propel the country into the top league of oil-exporting nations.
The exploitation of the Amazon rainforest, much of which is in Brazil, has been a major international worry, since the wilderness is a vital regulator of the climate. It is also an important reservoir of plant and animal life.
A drive to move settlers to the Amazon region during military rule in the 1970s caused considerable damage to vast areas of rainforest.
Deforestation by loggers and cattle ranchers remains controversial, but government-sponsored migration programmes have been halted.
In 2005 the government reported that one fifth of the Amazon forests had been cleared by deforestation.
Deforestation has been slowed down by extra policing and pressure from environmental and consumer groups. The government has fined illegal cattle ranchers and loggers, while the food industries have banned products from illegally deforested areas, such as soya beans and beef.
Profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
Officials estimate that deforestation in 2010 fell to 5,000 sq km for the year, down from 7,000 sq km the year before and a peak of 27,000 sq km in 2004.
Brazil's natural resources, particularly iron ore, are highly prized by major manufacturing nations, including China. Thanks to the development of offshore fields, the nation has become self-sufficient in oil, ending decades of dependence on foreign producers.
There is a wide gap between rich and poor, but the World Bank has praised the country for progress in reducing social and economic inequality.
Much of the arable land is controlled by a handful of wealthy families, a situation which the Movement of Landless Rural Workers seeks to redress through land redistribution. It uses direct protest action and land occupation in its quest.
Social conditions can be harsh in the big cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, where a third of the population lives in favelas, or slums.
A wave of protests swept Brazil during the summer of 2013 as people took to the streets in cities throughout the country to demonstrate against corruption, inadequate public services and the expense of staging the 2014 World Cup.These protests gained further momentum following corruption and money-laundering allegations against senior figures in the left-wing Workers Party, which has run the country since 2003.
Brazil's Aids programme has become a model for other developing countries. It has stabilised the rate of HIV infection and the number of Aids-related deaths has fallen. Brazil has bypassed the major drugs firms to produce cheaper, generic Aids medicines.
Brazil is revered for its footballing prowess. Its cultural contributions include the music of classical composer Heitor Villa-Lobos and Bossa Nova icon Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Stuart Thornton, 65, of Cross Street, Cowling, near Keighley, West Yorkshire, carried out the crimes at the now closed Burnside House Children's Home in Skipton, between 1971 and 1976.
Police said his youngest victim was aged just five years old.
At Bradford Crown Court, Thornton was jailed for 19 years after which he will be on licence for three years.
He was convicted in May of a series of sex offences including indecent assault, gross indecency with a child and a serious sexual crime in May.
North Yorkshire Police said Thornton, who denied all the charges, started volunteering at the home on Carleton Road before he was employed as carer.
Det Con Gillian Gowling said: "He abused his position in the most horrific way possible and his victims have had to live with that abuse for years before seeing justice being done.
"I hope it gives them a small degree of comfort, knowing that he has finally been held accountable for what he did to them."
She praised the victims' bravery and said "their courage means that Thornton is now facing the consequences of his sickening crimes".
Thornton was also placed on the sex offenders register for life, barred from working with children abide by the terms of an interim sexual harm prevention order.
Brendon Mason died in hospital as a result of head injuries after being found in Abbey Park, Leicester, on Tuesday morning.
The three men - two aged 21 and one aged 20 - and 18-year-old woman arrested are in police custody.
A 27-year-old man arrested on Tuesday has been released on police bail.
Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have information about Mr Mason's movements on Monday evening, and the early hours of Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was seen in Tournament Road, Glenfield, between 16:25 BST and 17:00 BST on Monday, before walking in the direction of a bus stop in Dominion Road.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
He was found seriously inured in Abbey Park at 08:10 BST.
Det Ch Insp Mick Graham, who is leading the investigation, said: "While we have made these arrests, the investigation into the death of Brendon is still very much ongoing."
Mr Mason was last seen wearing grey canvas tracksuit bottoms and a navy blue Adidas tracksuit top, and was carrying a black Puma backpack.
Ricky Valance, now aged 80, grew up in the south Wales valleys village of Ynysddu.
David Spencer, as he was known then, always had ambitions to be a singer and was lead soprano in the local church choir as a child, but he seemed destined to join his peers down the mines.
"I remember working in both collieries either side of the valley, one with my father, and it was a race home to get in the tin bath before him," he recalls.
"But I was getting into trouble with the bobbies, a bunch of us were, and I had a hard think about what my future was going to be.
"Singing was the only thing I wanted to do, but after a multitude of jobs I joined the forces."
Valance was 17 when he joined the Royal Air Force and says it had such a profound effect on him he has dedicated his final recording to the RAF.
"It was incredible. It was one of the best things I've ever done. It opened my eyes and taught me a lot," he says.
After three years, during which time he saw active service in north Africa and married his sweetheart Evelyn, he came home and very soon started gigging in clubs in the north of England.
"Finally I got spotted in a nightclub in London. There was a lady sitting in the audience who was in management," he says.
"She approached me and said she felt there was something she could do for my career. We had a long talk and I decided 'this is what I need'.
"I signed up with her and, no more than a few months after, I was recording a test for Columbia [Records], the big company at the time.
"Tell Laura I Love Her was the song that came along three weeks after I signed with them. They called me in and said they'd like me to listen to it."
"I listened to the American version, which I loved, and thought 'how the hell do I do it any better than this?'
"They said, 'you were a choir boy, it's a hymn, that's the sound we want'."
Valance breaks into song at this point, to demonstrate, and adds: "The rest is history."
The song tells the tragic story of a boy called Tommy and his love for a girl called Laura.
It was a controversial song at the time and was apparently banned from airplay by the BBC. But the single went on to be a number one hit in the UK, selling more than a million copies in 1960, the year of its release.
The single entered the Top 50 on 25 August and, a month later, knocked The Shadows with Apache off the top spot. It was in the charts for 16 weeks, number one for three of them.
"It certainly did turn my life around. It's a wonderful feeling when you're travelling on the road with the band, as we were, when it become number one.
"There was a huge fanfare on Parade of the Pops and the number one song that particular week - it was mine.
"It was an incredible experience that brought me gold, silver and platinum records. It's still being sold today. I haven't been able to get on stage without singing it."
But it was not all shiny discs and cheering crowds for Valance.
"I came in and my first record got a number one. There were a lot of jealous people at that time. Show business is like that.
"You had to be strong and have broad shoulders. It's not a pleasant experience, but it changed my life forever - over the years I've been to 19 different countries.
"I was teetotal, I didn't smoke. I made a promise I didn't want to be a flash in the pan. I wanted more success."
This is most evident when Valance says he is "fed up" of being referred to as a "one hit wonder".
"It's a bit sad when they say something like that when they know nothing about my discography," he says, citing further singles Jimmy's Girl - which sold more than 100,000 records - and Movin' Away, which was number one in Australia and Scandinavia.
"I even had that through the 60s. You need a thick skin," he says.
His singles Why Can't We and Don't Play Number 9 also made it into the UK Top 50 in the 1960s.
By 1960 he was using the name Ricky Valance and is keen to set the record straight that he did not take the name from La Bamba singer Ritchie Valens, whose singing career ended abruptly in 1959 when he was killed in a plane crash.
"A lot of people have the audacity of believing I took my name from Ritchie Valens. That's utter nonsense," he says.
"The true story is it's from a horse trainer I saw on the television. I was looking for a name to go with Ricky and he was called Colonel Valance. Later on I found out they also called him Ricky," Valance states.
In more recent years, Valance has performed in Spain, while living on the Costa Blanca, and recorded an album - One of the Best - in Nashville, Tennessee in 2001.
In 2012 he returned to his homeland for the BBC Wales series They Sold a Million, and in 2015, Tell Laura I Love Her was re-released to mark the 55th anniversary of it hitting the number one slot.
The epitome of his career, he says, came in 2015 when he was given an award at a St David's Day concert at the Wales Millennium Centre for being the first Welshman to have a UK number one hit.
"I would love to have done a concert at the Millennium Centre," he says. "I performed there the night I got my award, I was so full of emotion I don't know how I got through the song."
But Valance, who currently lives in Skegness, Lincolnshire, with his wife of 61 years, says he has not been on stage since he suffered a heart attack about 18 months ago.
"It does interfere with your confidence and I found out from the hospital that a major problem with a lot of people is it affects their mind as well.
"A couple of weeks ago I was doing some exercises on the voice and thought, 'can I climb up there again and get hold of a microphone?' It scares the life out of me."
One Media iP, the company publicising Valance's latest release - Welcome Home - describes it as "his last recording before retirement".
But the octogenarian is more non-committal, saying: "How can we say what's in the future?
"My future at this point in time is working for charity."
He hopes to raise £1m for the RAF Association and the Royal Air Force Museum through sales of the single and video, as well as donations.
"I recorded this song back last year and decided I wanted to do something special with it," Valance said.
"All our forces do a fantastic jobs, but I felt the air force could do with more exposure for what they've done and are still out there doing today.
"The biggest thing for me now is getting this started with the RAF. It's got to make a million pounds. I'm going all out for that."
The 26-year-old joined from Fleetwood Town last summer, but has agreed a 12-month extension to that deal.
The Welshman made Lilywhites debut in September and has played 29 games so far this season.
"He has been a big part of the team since he earned his place," boss Simon Grayson told the club website.
Some 4,745 new homes were sold under the equity loan part of the scheme, the highest total since it began in April 2013.
Since then, a total of 112,803 mortgages have been arranged under Help to Buy.
The majority of sales - 80% - have been made to first-time buyers.
The two parts of the scheme are running neck-and-neck, with 56,401 homes sold under the mortgage guarantee part.
A similar number - 56,402 - have been sold under the equity loan scheme.
The mortgage guarantee scheme - under which the government promises that a mortgage is repaid - is due to end in December 2016.
The equity loan scheme - under which the government takes a stake of up to 20% in the value of a home - has been extended to 2020.
Both schemes enable buyers to put down a deposit of just 5%.
Mr Trump's belief in American traditionalism and dislike of scrutiny echo the Kremlin's tune: nation, power and aversion to criticism are the new (and very Russian) world order.
You could call this mindset Trumputinism.
The echo between the Kremlin and Trump Tower is strong, getting louder and very, very good news for Mr Putin.
As Trump signalled to Michael Gove on Monday, a new nuclear arms reduction deal seems to be in the offing linked to a review of sanctions against Russia.
The dog that did not bark in the night is Mr Trump's peculiar absence of criticism of Mr Putin, for example, on the Russian hacking of American democracy, his land-grab of Crimea and his role in the continuing war in Eastern Ukraine.
What is odd is that Mr Trump, in his tweets, favours the Russia line over, say, the CIA and the rest of the American intelligence community.
But why on earth criticise the world leader with whom you most agree?
Three men have egged along Trumputinism: Nigel Farage, who is clear that the European Union is a far bigger danger to world peace than Russia; his friend, Steve Bannon, who is now Mr Trump's chief strategist; and a Russian "penseur", Alexander Dugin.
With his long hair and iconic Slavic looks, Mr Dugin is variously described as "Putin's Brain" or "Putin's Rasputin".
He has his own pro-Kremlin TV show which pumps out Russian Orthodox supremacy in a curious mixture of Goebbels-style rhetoric and Songs of Praise.
Mr Dugin is widely believed to have the ear of the Kremlin.
He is also under Western sanctions for the ferocity of his statements in favour of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has cost 10,000 lives to date.
Messrs Farage, Bannon and Dugin are all united that the greatest danger for Western civilisation lies in Islamist extremism.
Mr Bannon aired his views in a right-wing mindfest on the fringes of the Vatican in 2014.
He claimed that so-called Islamic State has a Twitter account "about turning the United States into a 'river of blood'".
"Trust me, that is going to come to Europe," he added. "On top of that we're now, I believe, at the beginning stages of a global war against Islamic fascism."
The danger is that in allying yourself with the Kremlin in the way they fight "Islamist fascism" in say, Aleppo, you end up siding with what some have called "Russian fascism" or, at least, abandoning democratic values and the rules of war and, in so doing, become a recruiting sergeant for ISIS.
It is a risk on which Mr Dugin does not seem willing to reflect. My interview with him in Moscow did not end well.
First, he dismissed the chances that the Russians hacked American democracy as "strictly zero".
I asked him about the depth of Mr Putin's commitment to democracy.
"Please be careful," he responded. "You could not teach us democracy because you try to impose to every people, every state, every society, their Western, American or so-called American system of values without asking…and it is absolutely racist; you are racist."
Too many of Mr Putin's critics end up dead - around 20 since he took power in 2000.
I have met and admired three: Anna Politkovskaya, Natasha Estemirova and Boris Nemtsov.
Mr Nemtsov was shot just outside the Kremlin's walls.
I asked Mr Dugin what his death told us about Russian democracy.
"If you are engaged in Wikileaks you can be murdered," he countered.
I then invited Mr Dugin to list the American journalists who have died under Barack Obama.
Mr Dugin did not oblige but told me that ours was a "completely stupid kind of conversation" and walked out of the interview.
Later, he posted a blog to his 20,000 followers, illustrated with my photograph and accusing me of manufacturing "fake news" and calling me "an utter cretin... a globalist swine".
Such is the language of the new world order.
A few days later I watched the press conference when Mr Trump closed down a question from a CNN reporter by accusing him of manufacturing "fake news".
Under Trumputinism, the echo between Russia and America is getting louder by the day.

The Australian, 35, only competed in five events last year after a "tough" 2015 left him "exhausted".
He survived a shark attack at a tournament in South Africa and missed out on a fourth world title following the death of his brother Peter.
Surfing is among five sports confirmed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
"It was nice to have 2016 off somewhat and decompress but I'm excited to put the singlet on again," said Fanning. "Let the show begin. It's going to be an incredible year.
"2015 was a tough year. A lot happened to me on camera and in my personal life. I just felt exhausted by the end of it."
The 11-stop WSL Championship begins on the Gold Coast of Australia from 14-25 March.
Sir Nicholas, who died last year aged 106, brought Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to the UK.
The Winton family are currently in the process of selling his estate, including his house in Maidenhead.
His son, Nick Winton, said it was "difficult" to decide what to let go.
"The reality is, over his life he has accumulated many objects," he added.
"If I won the lottery and had the space there are a lot of things I would love to keep in the family, but it just isn't practical."
Items up for auction include a framed picture of Sir Nicholas meeting then US President Bill Clinton in 1995, and a Napoleon III writing desk made in Paris and bought by Sir Nicholas for his wife, Grete.
The auction is being held at the Swan Auction House in Tetsworth, Oxfordshire on 3 November.
In 1939 Sir Nicholas organised the rescue of 669 Jewish children destined for Nazi concentration camps, arranging for trains to carry them out of German-occupied Prague to the sanctuary of the UK.
It is a trip that has not passed without incident - many of them bizarre, and plenty of them worthy of further analysis.
Settle down as we round up the more intriguing and awkward moments of his trip so far.
Pope Francis has been mostly smiles during his time at the Vatican - but apparently not when he met President Trump.
On Wednesday, the grin belonged entirely to The Donald while the pontiff came across somewhat stony-faced.
Social media wits joked that he had just learned he would have to listen to Mr Trump confess his sins.
Other photos from the occasion however showed the pontiff looking more cheerful. And President Trump seemed to have been inspired, later tweeting that he was "more determined than ever to pursue PEACE in our world".
A zoomed out version of the same photo showing Melania and Ivanka dressed in black has meanwhile spawned comparisons with the 1960s US TV series The Addams Family
Melania in black at the Vatican. Why?
The show featured a family of macabre oddballs who believed they were normal, and was famed for its catchy finger-snapping theme song.
From the Pope to something that had the appearance of the occult.
It was a surreal sight - President Trump and his Saudi and Egyptian counterparts placing their hands on a glowing globe (they were inaugurating a centre in Riyadh aimed at combating extremist ideology).
It's the image that launched a thousand memes. And when Satanists got involved, you knew things had become especially weird.
Before leaving for Saudi Arabia, Mr Trump team had touted the speech he would give on combating radicalisation. When he left, people were speaking only about The Orb.
A White House press statement about Mr Trump's visit to Israel said he would be looking to "promote the possibility of a lasting peach".
Given that he went on to give a speech speaking about peace in the region, we're guessing the White House statement should have referred to "peace" rather than the shelf life of a particular fruit.
The eagle-eyed observers with Israeli newspaper Haaretz spotted Melania Trump swatting away her husband's hand as he reached out for her.
Watch it for yourself - has he got tired of waiting for her to take his hand, and so withdraws it? Or is Melania really swatting her husband away? And did she do it again when they both landed in Rome on Tuesday? Make up your own minds.
If you're one of those people who looks for clues into the health of the Trumps' marriage, this may provide more fodder.
When Mr Trump arrived in Brussels, he had meetings with EU and Nato leaders. He has previously talked about how Britain leaving the EU is "great" and "fantastic", and how Nato is "obsolete" (before changing his mind).
Anyone expecting him to be at his most diplomatic, then, may have been puzzled by an on-camera moment when he appeared to push the prime minister of Montengro aside at photo time - putting Donald J Trump front and centre.
Mr Trump appeared to emerge from the back, and firmly - though not violently - push aside Dusko Markovic, before the US president fixed his coat, ready for the family photo.
It didn't go down well on social media. When JK Rowling tweeted the video, calling Mr Trump "you tiny, tiny, tiny little man", she was retweeted some 43,000 times.
More work here for body language analysts.
This clip, broadcast by the White House, showed Mr Trump with Israeli officials late on Monday.
He tells them - in Israel, remember: "We just got back from the Middle East", before quickly correcting himself: "We just got back from Saudi Arabia".
You can then see Ron Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to the US, seemingly put his head in his hand, only to quickly correct his gesture and brush his hair.
Again, watch the clip and make up your own minds.
Towards the end of the long line of people whose hands the Trumps had to shake when they arrived in Israel was Oren Hazan, an MP from the ruling Likud party.
There was just one problem - he wasn't supposed to be there.
Israeli media said he pushed his way through the line of dignitaries - and he then demanded a selfie with Mr Trump.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discreetly tried to stop Mr Hazan, whose career has been hit by scandal, but failed.
"I told Trump that they say I'm the Israeli Trump, I told him how excited I was," Mr Hazan told Israel's Ynet news site.
Israeli media said his brazen move had gone down badly with senior Likud officials.

Arthur Murphy was a passenger in a van driven by Harry Thornton as they passed a police station in August 1971.
A member of the Parachute Regiment, known in court as "Soldier A", fired two shots that hit Mr Thornton in the head and killed him instantly.
Mr Murphy said he agreed with his original statements about the shooting.
Earlier this week, another soldier, referred to as "Soldier C" told the inquest he thought Mr Murphy had opened fire on him and Springfield Road police station.
It has always been understood that the vehicle had merely backfired.
Mr Murphy told the inquest that Harry Thornton, a father of six, decided to drive their 1955 work van from their accommodation less than a mile away.
He drove a short distance along the Springfield Road, the court heard, and it backfired twice as it passed the police station, close to the Falls Road junction.
A police officer later tested the vehicle and found that it was liable to backfire before the engine had warmed up.
Mr Murphy described how they had stopped at traffic lights.
"I heard a bang, I looked over, and Harry was shot," he said.
"I was taken into the barracks and I was beaten up."
He described the injuries he sustained to his head, and bruising all over his body as two men in the barracks assaulted him and shouted: "Where's the stuff?"
No weapon was ever found in or around the van, and neither Mr Thornton nor Mr Murphy had ever been involved with any paramilitary organisation.
During cross examination it emerged that two Royal Ulster Constabulary officers were later charged with assaulting Mr Murphy, but were acquitted at a trial in 1972.
Mr Murphy added that nine years after the shooting, he was awarded compensation for the injuries he received in the barracks.
Counsel for the Thornton family asked Mr Murphy about Soldier C's testimony.
The soldier had said that the van was driven erratically, and that Mr Murphy had bobbed down and leant over behind Mr Thornton, poking a "tubular instrument" out of the van, before two shots were fired at the police station.
"That's lies," Mr Murphy told the court repeatedly. "That's pure lies".
"We had no weapons, we'd nothing. We were just working men."
There was sustained rioting in west Belfast after Mr Thornton's death.
About two days later, 10 people were shot dead by the army.
That incident later became known by the victims' families as the Ballymurphy massacre.
In 2012, the government wrote a letter of apology to Mr Thornton's widow Mary confirming that her husband had been an "innocent man". | A former workmate of a man shot dead by the Army in Belfast has told an inquest about the moment a soldier opened fire on his friend. | 34,931,684 | 603 | 33 | false |

A report by conservationists and animal charities have identified some of our most at risk British birds.
Things like climate change are having an affect on sea birds diets, meaning many of them are not getting enough food.
As the sea warms up the fish they feed on are travelling north to colder water.
However, some birds like the Red Kite are doing much better thanks to conservation efforts to re-introduce them to different parts of the UK.

Police Scotland have issued a CCTV picture of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident on Sunday 12 February.
It happened on board the 16:00 Virgin East Coast service.
The white man is 5ft 10in, in his late 30s and of a large build. He has short black spiked hair and was wearing glasses and white polo shirt.
He was also wearing a dark coloured jacket, a thick metal chain around his neck, dark grey jeans and white trainers.
He has a tattoo on his right arm and has a north-east English accent.
Anyone who recognises him is being urged to contact the police.
Fitzpatrick initially successfully appealed against the suspension imposed following an alleged incident in the League game against Armagh.
The ban was re-imposed and successfully appealed in quick succession before Croke Park ordered a further hearing.
Fitzpatrick was having that hearing in Dublin on Monday night.
Antrim joint-manager Gearoid Adams told BBC Sport Northern Ireland that his fellow joint-manager Frank Fitzsimons was accompanying St John's player Fitzpatrick at the latest Croke Park hearing.
"Quite frankly I am, given how long that this has dragged on," said Adams.
"I know the young man. He's a fellow club-man of my own. This is the third time he has been before a disciplinary committee over this issue.
"I first met Matthew at the age of 16 when I was manager of St John's and he told me that he about to play for Glentoran but instead he came back to me when he could easily have stuck with soccer.
"This may lead to one of our most talented players saying: 'You know what. I'm either away to America or I'm not going to play football at all'.
"He's a brilliant players but he's a free spirit. If he was a dirty player, I wouldn't be standing here defending him."
Three weeks ago, Fitzpatrick's Saffron team-mates released a strongly worded statement which alleged that the Antrim county board had identified the player to Croke Park.
According to his team-mates, the county's management and two county officials were initially unable to identify the player from footage after being asked to do so by the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee.
The players alleged that the county board, however, then did identify Fitzpatrick which led to his suspension.
The Saffrons will already be without Conor Murray after he was handed a two-match ban following his red card in the game against Armagh.
Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney was then banned for 12 weeks for an allegation verbal altercation with a linesman in the Athletic Grounds game.
Flying Scotsman is travelling from Carnforth on the West Coast Main Line following a £4.2m restoration project, which has taken 10 years.
The engine, which was retired from service in 1963, has been restored for York's National Railway Museum by Riley and Son Ltd, based in Bury.
Low-speed tests have taken place along the East Lancashire Railway.
The locomotive is in its black undercoat and sporting wartime numbers.
It will be painted in its new green livery next week after the test run.
Jim Lowe, head of operations at the National Railway Museum in York, said: "We have all been looking forward to the day when Flying Scotsman is once again running on Britain's tracks."
The train is travelling from Carnforth and into Carlisle with a return journey through Appleby and across the Ribblehead Viaduct to Farrington.
Cy Viccari popped the question on the Isle of Man race's Mountain Course on Sunday.
Mr Viccari said he had been planning the proposal "quietly" for over a year to keep it secret from Ms Barton.
The couple, who live in North Wales and are originally from Poynton in Cheshire and Wirral, plan to return to the island at a later date to get married.
Ms Barton said the proposal was "a total surprise".
"You can see how shocked I am - but of course I accepted."
The couple, who first became TT marshals in 2015, met in 2014 after spending nearly a year talking on the phone for work reasons.
Mr Viccari said they found they had shared a love of motorbikes and the Isle of Man and decided to visit the island together for the famous races.
"I used to come here with my parents and have many happy memories - now Caroline and I are creating new memories," he added.
Hickey stepped aside after being arrested by Rio police during the 2016 Olympics in an investigation into illegal ticket sales.
Acting president Willie O'Brien, Swim Ireland's chief executive Sarah Keane and Basketball Ireland's Bernard O'Byrne are the three candidates.
Hickey, 71, was allowed to return home to Ireland in December.
This was after the the umbrella group for Olympic Committees throughout the world agreed to pay his bail of just under £330,000.
The Dubliner, who was also president of the European Olympic committees before his arrest in Brazil last August, has said he is "totally innocent" of the charges levelled at him by the Brazilian police.
O'Brien, 68, has served in various roles with the OCI for more than 20 years, including the last 12 years as vice-president.
After Hickey stepped down from the role, O'Brien became the organisation's acting president.
O'Brien, a close associate of Hickey's, is regarded as the continuity candidate, while Keane, 43, has served on the OCI's council for two years with former Football Association of Ireland chief executive O'Byrne, 62, portraying himself as the change candidate.
The OCI's 34 member federations and members of the governing body's council will choose Hickey's successor.
Earlier this week, Hickey released a statement saying he would have "no role" in Thursday's vote and that he would not be able to attend the gathering following a recent medical procedure on his heart.
"Accordingly, the time has now come to pass the Irish Olympic torch to a new generation and I wish nothing but the best of luck and success to the new president, officers and executive committee of the OCI," Hickey added.
Thursday's vote is taking place at an OCI extraordinary general meeting in Dublin's Conrad Hotel.
The injured man, 53, was disocvered on Abbey Green on Wednesday afternoon and was taken to hospital with serious bruising and internal injuries.
He died soon afterwards. Police say his death is "unexplained" and they are trying to find his family.
A post-mortem examination will be held on Thursday.
Police have not said on what charge the man was arrested.
Capt Eric "Winkle" Brown died in February, aged 97, having flown 487 types of aircraft.
His biographer, Colonel Paul Beaver, read tributes at a private ceremony in Crawley on Monday.
They included a letter from an 11-year old boy from Dorchester who described the test pilot as a hero.
The youngster began writing and sending drawings to Capt Brown two years ago. He told the pilot's family he was "devastated" he would never get to meet him.
"Eric encouraged him, telling him to do maths and physics and to keep physically fit to help him become a naval test pilot in the future," Col Beaver said.
Tributes were also paid by the pilot's grand-daughter, Melanie Satisky, who read the aviation poem High Flight.
Mourners included First Sea Lord Admiral Sir George Zambellas and members of clubs and societies associated with him, such as The People's Mosquito, of which Capt Brown was patron.
A Royal Marines' bugler played the Last Post as Capt Brown's coffin was committed at the Surrey and Sussex Crematorium.
Capt Brown was born in Leith in 1919 and educated at Edinburgh's Royal High School, before studying at the University of Edinburgh, where he learned to fly.
During World War Two, he flew fighter aircraft and witnessed the liberation of Bergen Belsen concentration camp.
The pilot, who had been appointed MBE, OBE and CBE, moved to Copthorne in West Sussex and died at East Surrey Hospital in February after a short illness.

The two bodies have invited applications for independent research.
Ex-England forward Jeff Astle died aged 59 in 2002, with a coroner ruling it was a result of brain trauma.
A re-examination of his brain in 2014 found he had died from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Neurosurgeon Dr Willie Stewart, who carried out that examination, said it had been caused by Astle heading footballs throughout his career.
Astle's daughter Dawn said she was "really pleased" by the announcement of the joint FA-PFA study, adding it had been "a long time coming".
She added: "As long as the research is the right research, and being done by the right people to answer the key questions which have been asked by the FA and ourselves, then that is fine."
The research will specifically address the question of whether degenerative brain disease is more common in ex-professional footballers than in the rest of the population.
Those interested in carrying out the research have until 17 May to apply.
The FA's head of medicine, Dr Charlotte Cowie, said "the process will not be rapid" to ensure those affected "can be confident in the final results".
Astle was originally diagnosed with early onset dementia, and his cause of death was listed by the coroner as an "industrial disease".
Twelve years after the former West Brom player's death, Dr Stewart found he had died from CTE, a brain condition normally linked to boxing.
In 2015, Astle's family launched the Jeff Astle Foundation, which promotes care of others affected, and research and education into the condition.
Later that year, the FA agreed to carry out research into head injuries in the sport, and also drew up new guidelines on how to deal with concussion.
Dawn Astle said the latest step will help the next generation of footballers make "informed choices".
She said: "It is like smoking - we all know smoking can give you lung cancer, the warning is there on the cigarettes. You choose whether you smoke or not, and this will be no different.
"We know smoking can be a killer, we know football can be a killer - it is on dad's death certificate.
"It is not about stopping football, banning it, anything like that. It is just about letting people make informed choices, and without the research you can't do that."
The Astle family have criticised the players' union for a lack of progress in researching possible links between heading footballs and brain disease.
Dawn Astle walked out of a meeting with PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor earlier this month, and both she and Astle's widow Laraine have also called on him to resign.
Yet Taylor, 72, defended his organisation's record, calling the criticism "unfair".
"I don't know of another football organisation anywhere in the world that has done more than us," said Taylor. "If you do, please tell me.
"I don't think there's a sports organisation that has done as much as us.
"I feel very offended when people accuse us of a cover-up and say we don't want to know about the health risks. We do."
Dr Cowie added: "This is a crucial issue for the FA and one that we feel passionately about addressing.
"Player welfare is paramount and it is increasingly important that the football authorities investigate further whether there are any potential risks associated with heading the ball, as this is a unique feature of our game."
It comes after Home Secretary Theresa May said tougher sanctions would be brought in to tackle modern-day slavery earlier this year.
The number of cases discovered in the UK has risen by 25% in the last year, according to government figures.
Trafficking from Albania, Poland and Lithuania has seen a big rise.
Ministers are planning new legislation to simplify the law on slavery, and make it easier to bring prosecutions.
Victims are often targeted for sexual exploitation, construction work or begging gangs.
A new report by the inter-departmental ministerial group on human trafficking has revealed that 1,186 victims were referred to the authorities in 2012, compared with 946 victims in 2011.
The report revealed the largest number of victims were from Nigeria, Vietnam, Albania, Romania and China.
There has been a 300% increase in Albanian trafficking, a 171% increase in victims from Lithuania, and 148% more from Poland since 2011, the report indicated.
But trafficking from Romania and China had fallen, according to the figures.
Public policy often involves a modest amount of 'branding' and Theresa May no doubt had this in mind during her party conference speech when she highlighted the push against 'modern-day slavery'.
It's a description covering a multitude of sins, but there is a common thread. The victims are usually promised, in advance, a happy, comfortable and free life in Britain, but arrive to discover misery, squalor and varying degrees of imprisonment.
Because there are so many different models of slavery, it is a problem that can only be tackled through a wide range of agencies working together. The Home Office has to create laws that can be used; prosecutors have to use them. The police have to understand the often subtle coercion implicit in trafficking. They must co-ordinate linked investigations across Britain.
The new National Crime Agency must get to grips with the organised gangs, charities such as the Salvation Army need to focus on helping - and crucially identifying - the victims.
But perhaps the biggest problem of all is that no-one really knows how big this problem is. How many 'modern day slaves' there are hidden in flats in our inner cities, unable physically or mentally to escape.
Victims brought to the UK are forced to do anything from work as house slaves to labour in cannabis farms.
Eastern European women are most likely to be used as prostitutes, according to the report. Men are most likely to be used for construction work.
There is also a trend towards forced begging, and benefit fraud - gangmasters take all the proceeds, returning very little to victims.
Those targeted are often lured to the UK with the promise of free travel, a job and accommodation, sometimes by family members. An alternative is so-called 'debt bonds' where money owed must be repaid by working in the UK.
Klara Skrivankova, from the Anti-Slavery International group, wants greater protection for victims - including the right to stay in the UK.
"Tougher penalties and longer sentences alone do not suffice," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"Unless the protection of victims is put on a statutory footing, we're unlikely to see more prosecutions."
Victims minister Damian Green said the trafficking of vulnerable men and women was something "no civilised country should tolerate".
"On Anti-Slavery Day I am proud that this government is standing strong against those who profit from human misery and last year gave £3m to support those who have suffered at their hands."
Chief constable Shaun Sawyer of the Association of Chief Police Officers said "the national approach is very much about the protection of the victim", but he added: "I agree that the signposting and signalling could be clearer".
"A lot of people are prosecuted for GBH, rape, violence against the individual - it's far easier to bring the perpetrator to justice this way. This Bill will make it easier to prosecute for trafficking."
David Hanson MP, Labour's shadow immigration minister, said that the government needed to focus on prosecutions, pointing to the last government report which identified 946 potential victims of human trafficking, but "only eight convictions".
"The government also needs to wake up to the fact that 60% of trafficked children simply go missing again in the UK after they've come to the attention of the authorities," he added. "It should be a source of shame."
In her Tory party conference speech, Mrs May said an order banning someone convicted of trafficking from being a gangmaster after their release from prison would form a key part of the new bill.
Seven people were injured - four of them seriously - after a large group of men targeted pubs used by Celtic fans in the Gallowgate area at about 19:00.
Two of those hurt remain in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
Police said that the men responsible were dressed in black with hoods and scarves covering their faces.
Four men, aged 52, 37, 27 and 25, were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary following the disturbance and treated for serious face or head injuries.
Two of the men, aged 37 and 27, are still detained. The other two men were released after treatment.
Three other men suffered minor injuries but did not require medical treatment.
Det Insp Colin Hailstones said: "We are still at the early stages of this inquiry and would appeal to anyone who was in the area, who has mobile phone footage or any information that will help us with our inquiries to come forward to police.
"It would appear that this disturbance took place when a large group of men, described as being dressed in black with hoods and scarves covering their faces, tried to gain access to some of the pubs in the Gallowgate and started to challenge patrons within. This then developed and people spilled on to the street where the assaults took place.
"We have been checking CCTV in the area and have already spoken to people who were there at the time as part of the investigation for which there is a dedicated team off officers involved."
Several hundred Ajax fans were given a police escort to the stadium before the game which Celtic lost 2-1.
Police made four arrests in or around the stadium - one before, two during and one after the game - for alleged minor public order offences.
Meanwhile, an Ajax fan has been given a 12-month football banning order after pushing a police officer on the way to the the game at Celtic Park.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Jordy Van Mieghem, 23, from Amsterdam, admitted assaulting PC Robert Chalmers at London Road and also being in possession of cocaine.
Sheriff Ian Miller fined the mortgage advisor a total of £500 and banned him from any regulated UK game.
Janice Bannister's dog Sylvia went missing during a beach walk on Saturday afternoon.
Ms Bannister from Telford said she has been scouring the island since the Japanese Shiba Inu disappeared.
She hired the helicopter from Caernarfon Airport after a sighting of the dog in the dunes at Newborough beach.
"It is a huge area of dunes... you could not walk it or cycle it," she said.
She only visited the area for a day trip to meet a friend.
But a local resident has been giving Ms Bannister lodging since Saturday so she can continue the search.
Although she is due to return home, another person has offered her the free use of a caravan for her return on Saturday.
Posters have been put up around the area and a Facebook page has also been created to help coordinate the search.
"I do love that dog," she said, which is one of nine that she owns.
When, in 1977, James Earl Carter Jr blew into Washington DC "like a Southern breeze", the 39th President of the United States symbolised a bright, new future.
He'd emerged from the obscurity of a peanut farm in his native Georgia as a man of honesty, armed with the slogan "Trust Me".
With the country still reeling from the Watergate scandal, this platform had much appeal. With unprecedented informality, he insisted on being called Jimmy, and he and his wife Rosalynn walked hand-in-hand from Capitol Hill to the White House on Inauguration day.
Yet, Jimmy Carter was dumped from the presidency after serving just one four-year term, the first elected president to be defeated in office since 1932. But in the more than 30 years since, his second act as a world statesman has changed his legacy.
Born in Plains, Georgia in 1924, as a child, Jimmy was expected to work long hours on the farm, and home life was austere. His nearest neighbours were his black staff who became his closest friends.
When his father died of cancer, Jimmy Carter abandoned a seven-year career in the navy as a submariner to take control of the family farm. He turned its fortunes around and became wealthy in the process.
He entered politics in the 1960s, elected first as Georgia state senator during a special election - starting his campaign only two weeks before voting. After an initial defeat for the governorship of Georgia, he was elected to the state's top office in 1970 - a position he would use as a springboard to the White House.
As a office holder, Mr Carter was driven by a mixture of born-again Christian spirit, a sense of independence and a liberal tradition. The latter was inherited, not from his father, who was a white segregationist, but from his mother, Lillian, who joined the Peace Corps at the age of 68, and spent two years working as a nurse in India.
His sister, a faith healer, had by then convinced him to commit himself totally to God. As president, he continued to preach at Sunday school for children and always said grace before meals, even at state dinners with foreign leaders.
After a narrow election victory against incumbent Gerald Ford in the 1976 presidential election, problems quickly mounted for Mr Carter. At home, the oil crisis had produced high inflation and unemployment, and he struggled to persuade Americans to accept the required austerity measures.
The high-point of the Carter years was the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1978 in which Egypt formally recognised the state of Israel. He also signed a treating returning the Panama canal to Panama.
But subsequent events conspired against him. First, the Shah of Iran was overthrown and 66 Americans were taken hostage in Tehran. Then the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.
The resulting US boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow failed to gain enough support to get them cancelled. He cut off diplomatic relations with Iran and introduced a trade embargo.
But the public did not believe he was being tough enough and his popularity slumped. When an attempt to rescue the hostages failed, and eight Americans military members were killed, Carter appeared even weaker.
To compound his plight, Iran delayed the release of the hostages until after the new president, Ronald Reagan, was sworn in. It was left to Reagan to make America feel good about itself once more.
Instead of disappearing, Jimmy Carter used the prestige of his former office to become a diplomat and mediator across the world under the auspices of his newly founded Carter Centre, based in Atlanta.
He worked behind the scenes to keep the Middle East peace process on track, persuaded the former North Korean dictator, Kim Il Sung, to open discussions with South Korea.
Mr Carter led a delegation that persuaded leaders in Haiti to surrender power in 1994 and he brokered a ceasefire in Bosnia that helped pave the way for the future peace treaty there.
He very quickly added election monitoring to the Carter Centre, famously denouncing the 1989 election in General Noriega's Panama. then advised Daniel Ortega on organising fair elections in Nicaragua which, ironically, resulted in Ortega's defeat.
The Carter Centre has also established health programmes which pushed for the eradication of guinea worm, and is successfully tackling river blindness.
As Mr Carter continued working across the world, his reputation as a failed one-term president soon began to subside.
Such is his worldwide standing after leaving office, Fidel Castro allowed him to broadcast live to the Cuban people in Spanish, despite knowing he would criticise the Cuban leader's civil rights record.
Mr Carter is not without his critics. Some non-governmental organisations working in the field have accused him of often acting unilaterally and have questioned his commitment to longer-term projects.
In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts".
In his acceptance speech, Mr Carter said "war may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children".
The former president has spoken strongly out against some decisions who followed him in the presidency - including the war in Iraq under George W Bush and continuing mass surveillance under Barack Obama, saying Edward Snowden should be considered for a pardon.
He has also criticised Israel's actions with respect to Palestine in a 2006 book "Palestine - Peace not Apartheid", which attracted criticism from many elected leaders in his own Democratic party.
Since 2007, Mr Carter has also become a part of The Elders, a group founded by Nelson Mandela of elder global leaders who no longer hold public office, along with Kofi Annan, Ela Bhatt and Mary Robinson.
In August 2015, Mr Carter announced cancer initially found in his liver had spread to become a melanoma in four spots on his brain and that he was to undergo treatment. In December that year he told a Sunday school class in Plains, Georgia, that an MRI scan had revealed no sign of the brain cancer.
The 32-year-old former English Amateur champion finished the first round in Paris two shots clear of compatriot Nathan Kimsey, Belgium's Thomas Pieters and Alexander Bjork of Sweden.
Tommy Fleetwood continued his good recent form with an opening round of 67 - one of three players on four under.
"I gave myself some real chances and took them," said world 279 Waring.
Another Englishman, Andy Sullivan, went round Le Golf National - venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup - in 68.
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, a former champion, and Wales' Bradley Dredge are among those a further shot behind after rounds of 69.
Waring is competing this season on a medical exemption because of back problems which meant he only started four tournaments last year.
The union wants workers to be paid the real living wage, be given rest breaks and minimum-hours contracts.
Unite said it had been "inundated with complaints from workers about their treatment at the Fringe".
The council confirmed it will look at how to ensure venues using council properties follow the principles.
Council leader Andy McVey said: "We need to work on spreading good practices across venues and everyone else that is involved with the festivals this month."
Bryan Simpson, from Unite Hospitality, said the aim of the Fair Fringe campaign was to improve the wages and working conditions of all Fringe staff.
He said: "Last year we were inundated with complaints from workers about their treatment at the Fringe.
"We heard horror stories of workers receiving notional fees for five weeks full-time work, bar workers doing lengthy trial shifts unpaid and PR staff getting £10 to hand out 1000 leaflets."
It said the charges for those who go into the red without agreement can be high and complex.
Earlier this month, the UK's largest lender, Lloyds, said it was getting rid of unarranged overdraft fees altogether from November.
Barclays has already stopped all unauthorised lending.
However, other banks charge about £6 a day, or up to £90 a month.
"We believe there is a case to consider fundamental reform of unarranged overdrafts, and whether they should have a place in any modern banking market," the FCA said, in its review into the high-cost credit market.
"Maintaining the status quo is not an option," said FCA chief executive Andrew Bailey. Unarranged overdraft fees were often "significantly higher" than payday loans, he added.
However, the FCA made it clear that an outright ban on unarranged overdrafts was only one option being considered.
It could impose a cap on charges, or demand some affordability checks before a bank lends money on an unplanned basis.
A year ago the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) decided against a cap on charges.
Half of all overdraft users go over their agreed borrowing limit, according to the CMA. In 2014 such customers spent £1.2bn in charges as a result.
The banking industry responded by saying that customers were usually warned if they were about to go overdrawn, usually via a text alert on on a mobile app.
"When used sustainably, consumer credit is important for economic growth, and lenders work hard to ensure the balance is right between helping customers to borrow while ensuring longer term affordability," said Eric Leenders, head of personal banking at UK Finance.
The FCA has also highlighted concerns about the rent-to-own market, typically used by consumers to buy fridges, freezers and televisions.
"We think that is a sizeable issue, because people are paying three or four times more than if they used cash," Mr Bailey told the BBC.
The FCA said that one option might be for housing associations to provide such goods instead.
Mr Bailey said there were also concerns about motor finance, a worry already highlighted by the Bank of England.
"We're looking at affordability tests and the transparency of terms," he said.
The FCA will publish an update on this work in the first quarter of 2018.
As part of its review into high-cost lending, the FCA also looked at how the cap on payday loans was working.
It said that the cap, first imposed in January 2015, had delivered "substantial benefits" to consumers.
Since then, no one has had to pay more than 0.8% a day of the amount borrowed. The maximum they pay is no more than twice the amount they borrowed.
The FCA said its review found that the cap meant 760,000 borrowers in this market were saving a total of £150m a year, that companies were now less likely to lend to customers who cannot afford to repay, and debt charities were seeing fewer people struggling with ballooning borrowing from payday loans.
Mr Bailey said the FCA would continue to focus its efforts on what else needed to be done in this area.
Kyle Byfield, 23, died in hospital after he was found injured at Jubilee Court, Banbury, on 16 April.
His family said they had been "overwhelmed" by the support from the local community following his death.
Natasha Capell, 26, of Jubilee Court, has been charged with murder and remanded in custody.
In a statement, his parents, Ronnie and Alan Byfield, and girlfriend Laurie Peach said: "We are all totally devastated and shocked by this tragic loss of our beloved Kyle.
"He will be greatly missed by all and forever in our hearts."
An inquest into his death is due to open later at Oxford Coroner's Court.
Although no opportunities presented themselves in recent years, there were several before 2002 - prompting many to question the power and effectiveness of the US military and intelligence machine.
US senators have said the failure to find Bin Laden forever altered the course of the conflict in Afghanistan and the future of international terrorism, left the American people more vulnerable, laid the foundation for the Afghan insurgency, and inflamed the internal strife in Pakistan.
In 1996 the CIA's Counter-terrorist Centre (CTC) set up "Bin Laden Issue Station", a special unit of a dozen officers, to analyse intelligence on and plan operations against the Saudi millionaire. At the time Bin Laden was believed to be financing militants in the Middle East and Africa.
Will Bin Laden haunt US?
By late 1997 - after Bin Laden had been forced to move from Sudan to Afghanistan, and had called on Muslims to "launch a guerrilla war against American forces" - the unit had formulated plans for Afghan tribesmen to capture him before handing him over to the US.
Though the head of the CTC thought it was the "perfect operation", the director of the CIA decided not to go ahead with it, according to a later report issued by the 9/11 Commission's report.
Then, in August 1998, more than 220 people were killed when lorries filled with bombs drove into the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. After determining that al-Qaeda was responsible, US President Bill Clinton authorised missile strikes against militant camps in Afghanistan, including Bin Laden's compound.
The strikes failed to kill any al-Qaeda leaders and prompted Bin Laden to start changing locations frequently and unpredictably, and to add new bodyguards. He also changed his means of communication. Nevertheless, tribal sources were still able to provide regular updates on where he was.
In December 1998 it was reported that Bin Laden might be staying the night at the residence of the governor of Kandahar. But a missile strike was ruled out after generals predicted 200 people might be killed or injured. Some lower-level CIA figures worried that the US might rue the decision.
A similar opportunity to bomb a camp south of Kandahar in February 1999 was missed because Bin Laden moved on before the operation was approved.
Perhaps the best opportunity to target Bin Laden came in May 1999, when CIA assets confidently reported Bin Laden's location for five days and nights in and around Kandahar. Despite officials at the Pentagon and CIA expressing little doubt about the operation's success, it was not authorised.
From then until after the 11 September 2001 attacks the US government did not again actively consider a missile strike against Bin Laden. Putting US personnel on the ground was also ruled out because of the risk of failure.
Michael Scheuer, who founded the Bin Laden unit and ran it until 1999, told the BBC: "Mr Clinton is more a citizen of the world, and he was worried about what the Muslim world would think if we missed and killed a civilian."
"He generally talked a good game that he did his best once he left office. But I happened to be there at the time, and Bin Laden should have been an annoying memory by the middle of 1998 or early 1999."
On 18 September 2001, US President George W Bush famously declared that Bin Laden was wanted "dead or alive".
The next month US aircraft began a massive bombing campaign against al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan as part of a mission to destroy the group, kill Bin Laden and other key leaders, and to defeat the Taliban.
Military special forces and CIA teams, along with their Afghan allies, were also deployed on the ground to seize control of al-Qaeda strongholds.
Although the US and its allies declared victory that December, Bin Laden had been neither captured nor killed. He was, however, cornered in a complex of caves and tunnels in the mountainous eastern Afghan area of Tora Bora.
Under relentless attack from the ground and air, Bin Laden fully expected to die and even wrote a will on 14 December.
But fewer than 100 US commandos were on the scene with their Afghan allies and calls for reinforcements to launch an assault were rejected, according to a 2009 report by the US Senate foreign relations committee.
Requests were also turned down for US troops to block the mountain paths leading to sanctuary a few kilometres away in Pakistan.
Instead, commanders chose to rely on air strikes and Afghan militias to attack Bin Laden and on Pakistan's Frontier Corps to seal his escape routes.
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said at the time that he was concerned that too many US troops in Afghanistan would create an anti-American backlash and fuel a widespread insurgency.
Two days after writing his will, Bin Laden and his bodyguards walked out of Tora Bora and disappeared over the border into Pakistan.
"Removing the al-Qaeda leader from the battlefield eight years ago would not have eliminated the worldwide extremist threat," the Senate committee report concluded.
"But the decisions that opened the door for his escape to Pakistan allowed Bin Laden to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide."
After Tora Bora, the hunt moved to Pakistan. Several senior al-Qaeda leaders were arrested or killed, including the alleged mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, but there were very few leads of Bin Laden himself.
Pakistan's government dismissed reports that he was in the country, but it was widely believed that he was moving from village to village in the north-western region of Waziristan with a small group of bodyguards, where he would live under the protection of Pashtun tribal leaders.
Bin Laden was believed to communicate only once a month by courier, and never by telephone. He nevertheless managed to record video and audio messages which were either passed to media organisations, most notably al-Jazeera, or published on the internet. His last video tape was released in September 2007, while his last audio message came in January 2011.
Former CIA agents said the main obstacle to finding Bin Laden was that anyone who might consider betraying him for the $25m reward offered feared informing local police, in case they were sympathetic to or in the pay of Bin Laden.
Also, the agents themselves were prevented from venturing far from their compounds in Pakistan because of the threat of assassination and resistance by the intelligence arm of the Pakistan military, the Inter Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), which wanted to lead the operation.
Confronted with such obstacles agents instead relied on electronic intercepts, aerial photographs, and information collected by the ISI's spies. Leads were followed up by local proxies, who often risked their lives. One cleric was beheaded after being sent to Waziristan.
Even when a senior al-Qaeda figure was identified and located, it often took weeks to get approval from the Pakistani authorities for an air strike.
Andrew Card, President Bush's former chief-of-staff, told ABC News: "The intelligence would frequently tease us. We would think that we were close to getting him. A couple of times we thought we actually got him, but we didn't."
Some US officials believed the failure to capture or kill Bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was the result of collusion by their Pakistani counterparts, particularly those within ISI. Some claimed the ISI was harbouring the two men.
"I'm not saying that they're at the highest levels, but I believe that somewhere in this government are people who know where Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda is," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in May 2010.
The discovery that Bin Laden had been living in a large, custom-built, walled compound in Abbottabad close to Pakistan's military academy - possibly from as early as 2005 - has reinforced suspicions about the ISI.
US officials have said it took eight months for US and Pakistani agents to confirm the location of the al-Qaeda leader, and that they found it by trailing one of his most trusted couriers, whose name was revealed by detainees.
But former CIA field officer Bob Baer told the BBC that he was sceptical about the assertions that Bin Laden had been traced through a courier.
"Intelligence agencies like the CIA and the US military will simply put out disinformation to protect the real sources, which could have been anything from intercepts to the Pakistani government itself," he said.
Tom Allin, who was 28 and a former Warwickshire fast bowler, died months after suffering serious leg injuries in a car crash, the inquest heard.
His body was found below the A39 River Torridge Bridge in Bideford, Devon, on 4 January.
Devon and Cornwall Police later found three suicide notes at his home written to family and friends.
More on the inquest, plus more Devon and Cornwall news.
The inquest at North Devon Civic Centre was told passing motorists, including an off-duty nurse, alerted the emergency services and tried in vain to give first aid to Mr Allin.
His parents, Tony and Beverley Allin, said their son had been through "several tough months" leading up to his death, starting in early October when his brother was seriously ill.
The court heard that in late October Tom Allin was in a road accident near Clovelly, Devon, and had to be cut from his car.
He had surgery and was "recovering well physically" but by early December he told a nurse his mood was "up and down" and was advised to seek help.
A police investigation did not find any suspicious circumstances or any third party involvement in Mr Allin's death.
A post-mortem examination found that Mr Allin died from "devastating non-survivable injuries". No drugs or alcohol were found in his body.
Dr Elizabeth Earland, senior coroner for Exeter and Greater Devon, recorded a conclusion of suicide.
"On the evidence I am in no doubt that Tom was the architect of his own demise and he clearly intended the consequences of what he did and there is no evidence of a third party involvement," she said.
The Scots will be out if they lose but McGhee says they have no special plans to deal with Bayern Munich forward Lewandowski, who has scored 12 goals in his last four games.
"We have total respect for him, a fantastic player," said McGhee.
"But we have players in form as well, players who scored at the weekend."
Scotland could even go out with a win at Hampden, if the Republic of Ireland beat Germany in Dublin but then do not beat Poland in Warsaw on Sunday.
McGhee refutes claims Adam Nawalka's side, who are second in Group D, have improved since the 2-2 draw in Warsaw last year.
"I don't know that as a team they have improved," McGhee said.
"Lewandowski's in form and scoring goals and has proven to be a fantastic acquisition for Bayern Munich, but in general I don't think they're that different from a year ago than we are.
"I don't think they have left us behind in any way."
Scotland's own strikers were in scoring form at the weekend, with Leigh Griffiths, Steven Fletcher, Chris Martin and Jordan Rhodes all finding the net for their clubs.
"We feel we have to match them in every area," said McGhee. "Lewandowski is the guy they hope will get goals for them so we have to pay him attention.
"I watched the games and saw Martin, Fletcher, Griffiths scoring goals and that's encouraging because we know that's going to bring them here full of confidence.
"Poland are dangerous, they will feel they can score, but I don't think we intend to do anything different than we've done until now. We'll still be very difficult to beat.
"If they're going to do better than us they're going to have to do well."
Aberdeen defender Graeme Shinnie could win his first Scotland cap after being called up for the first time.
Shinnie has also played in midfield for the Scottish Premiership leaders this season, and can play in either full-back position.
"It's been good to be in amongst the squad. It's a proud moment in my career," said Shinnie.
"I would just love to be on the pitch. I don't mind wherever I play, I've done it at Aberdeen and there's no reason why I can't do it down here.
"Poland have got good players but we've got great players ourselves. Most of our strikers this weekend have all scored. We know we've got players that can hurt them."
The court heard a government claim that it would damage national security to hear full details of the evidence.
The case has been brought by Libyan man Abdul Hakim Belhaj and his wife against MI6, various government departments and former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
Mr Belhaj says the government arranged in 2004 for him to be flown to Libya, where he was tortured by its regime.
The north African country was ruled by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi at that time - and Mr Belhaj was a well-known dissident who opposed his regime.
The UK Supreme Court has previously heard that he and his wife Fatima Boudchar claim they were was detained first in Malaysia and then Thailand in 2004 before being put on an American flight to Libya. They claimed that this was because MI6 alerted Libya as to their whereabouts - and that the UK government "arranged and assisted" in flying them to Libya.
In the current hearing, the High Court was told of allegations that the British defendants were complicit in the alleged mistreatment of Mr Belhaj "and supplied questions for the interrogation" by Colonel Gaddafi's regime.
Judge Mr Justice Popplewell ruled that disclosing sensitive material "would reveal operational details of the activities of the security services in relation to intelligence".
He also stated that holding closed sessions in which the press, public and defence lawyers are locked out of court would allow the allegations to be heard by the court.
"These claims are brought not only against the government, but against two named individuals who both wish to have a real and fair opportunity to defend themselves, but who cannot do do unless there is a closed material procedure."
Such controversial procedures were created in 2013 as a result of a long legal battle fought by former British detainees in the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. They won compensation but the government argued it had not been able to defend itself in open court because it would have damaged national security.
The Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that Mr Belhaj and Miss Boudchar should be allowed to bring their civil claim against the government.
Mr Belhaj and Miss Boudchar are also suing former MI6 official Sir Mark Allen.
Following today's judgement, Mr Belhaj said "Fatima and I have stuck with this case for all these years because we believe the British system, unlike Gaddafi's, can deliver justice. But what kind of a trial will it be if we put in a mountain of evidence and government officials can simply refuse to answer us? It's hard to see how this fits with Britain's long tradition of open justice."
The driver had been forced to stop due to a man standing in Parkhall Road, Weston Coyney, Stoke-on-Trent, shining the laser at him at about 00:05 GMT.
The second man then boarded the bus, produced a knife and demanded money.
The driver accelerated then braked, causing the man to fall off the empty bus, police said.
The bus driver was making his way back to the depot at the time of the attempted robbery.
The two men ran off empty-handed towards Weston Coyney.
Both were dressed in black clothing and the man armed with the knife wore a scarf covering his face and a black bobble hat.
David Cameron said every action would be taken to restore order, with contingency plans for water cannon to be available at 24 hours' notice.
On Tuesday night, unrest spread to cities including Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Nottingham and Birmingham.
Three men protecting property died when they were hit by a car in Birmingham.
Haroon Jahan, 21, Shahzad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, who were from the Asian Muslim community, were taken to hospital but died from their injuries.
Mr Cameron said the deaths were "truly dreadful" and offered his condolences to the men's families.
A candle-lit vigil, attended by some 200 people, took place in Birmingham for the men. The BBC's Jeremy Cooke said it was entirely peaceful.
Ladywood MP Shabana Mahmood had appealed for calm, telling a community meeting it was important people did not take matters into their own hands.
Meanwhile, rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage.
Both city councils have issued warnings that if any of their tenants or their children have been involved in violence or looting they will be "thrown out".
Greenwich Council also says it will be seeking the eviction of any council tenants if they are found to have been engaged in criminal activities.
Earlier, the prime minister said police had the legal backing to use any tactics necessary to bring the rioting across England under control, including using baton rounds.
Speaking after a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee, he said: "This continued violence is simply not acceptable, and it will be stopped.
"We will not put up with this in our country. We will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets."
But Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) president Sir Hugh Orde ruled out using water cannon or baton rounds for now, saying the tactics were not suited to the current unrest.
"Water cannon are used to deal with fixed crowds to buy distance," he said.
"The evidence... is showing very clearly these are fast-moving crowds, where water cannon would not be appropriate."
He added that baton rounds would only be deployed when his officers' lives were under serious threat.
Meanwhile, Home Secretary Theresa May told the BBC she had ordered all police forces in England and Wales to mobilise special constables, cancel leave and adopt a "tough, robust approach".
Six forces have requested assistance for Wednesday evening, according to Acpo, which is co-ordinating resources in England and Wales.
They are Avon and Somerset, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester Police, the Metropolitan Police, Nottinghamshire, and West Midlands.

Sitting in the dock in a blue tracksuit top, the 11-year-old boy was barely big enough to see over the wooden ledge into the main body of the courtroom.
But, according to the prosecution, the child had been among the hundreds arrested in connection with the rioting in London over the past few nights.
He was the youngest to appear at Highbury on Wednesday, and admitted taking a wastepaper basket from a branch of Debenhams in Romford, which was looted by rioters.
Others brought before magistrates included a man who works in a primary school, a student and a convicted drug dealer. Nearly all will be sentenced at crown courts which have the powers to impose tougher penalties.
The 11-year-old is due at a youth court at the end of the month. Despite his tender age, he spent last night in a police cell. He's been told to observe a curfew between 18:00 and 06:00 until his fate is decided.
Analysis: Courts run all night
Earlier, Mr Cameron said: "We have seen the worst of Britain, but I also believe we have seen some of the best of Britain - the million people who have signed up on Facebook to support the police, coming together in the clean-up operations.
"There are pockets of our society that are not just broken, but are frankly sick.
"It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to feel the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and their actions do not have consequences. Well, they do have consequences."
The Met Police has made 820 arrests and charged 279 people in connection with violence in the capital.
In London, three courts will stay open all night on Wednesday to deal with some of the scores of people facing mainly disorder and burglary charges after four nights of rioting.
In other developments:
Mr Cameron said anyone convicted of violent disorder would be sent to prison.
London mayor Boris Johnson urged the government to reconsider its "pretty frail" plans to cut police numbers, saying the argument had been "substantially weakened" by the riots.
And Labour shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said agreed, adding the plans needed to be reconsidered.
"It is staggering and utterly shameful if it has taken these appalling events for ministers to start waking up to what everyone else has known all along," she said.
"Cutting 16,000 officers - the equivalent of every officer on the streets of London last night - at a time like this is deeply irresponsible."
But the Home Office said the reductions in the police budget were manageable.
At a press conference, Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said he had seen "the most sickening scenes" of his career, and said the force had been overwhelmed.

Some 113 people have been arrested so far over the trouble in Manchester and Salford, where hundreds of youths looted shops and set fire to cars and buildings.
He said the force was "absolutely intent" on bringing the rioters to justice and his officers were already studying CCTV.
"Hundreds and hundreds of people, we have your image, we have your face, we have your acts of wanton criminality on film. We are coming for you, from today and no matter how long it takes, we will arrest those people responsible," he said.
In the West Midlands, 163 people had been arrested by Wednesday morning, and police chiefs say at the height of the disorder it was at a rate of about one person per minute.
Chief Constable Chris Sims said it was "another very difficult night" in Birmingham and across the region, with gangs of up to 40 people and "limited disorder" in West Bromwich and Wolverhampton.
The riots first flared on Saturday after a peaceful protest in Tottenham over the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, 29, by police.
A big problem is the collapse of exposed peat banks on the mountains.
Some areas are under particular pressure, due to a combination of heavy recreational use, overgrazing, weather and the impact of wildfires.
To address the issue, £300,000 is being spent on restoration projects.
The Mourne Mountains Landscape Partnership has identified key sites and is undertaking conservation work.
Siobhan Thompson is a natural heritage officer with the partnership and said the work is just beginning in time.
"It's at that kind of cutting edge where if you left it, you might not be able to get it back," she said.
Nine sites have been identified where biodegradable material will be used to restore collapsing banks.
Dams made out of a hessian-type material will also be put in to retain water and help the growth of plants which can bind the heath together.
A new path is to be laid which hill walkers will be asked to use, instead of walking on the open heath.
A helicopter was chartered to airlift the materials onto the mountainside.
Work to put them in place will begin immediately.
The Heritage Lottery Fund is providing much of the cash.
Walkers and farmers have been helping conservationists identify problem sites.
Ms Thompson said such people had begun to notice the impact of erosion.
In the three-room cell, they found a conference room, plasma screen television, library and kitchen.
The interior of the cell, which was occupied by Brazilian drug lord Jarvis Chimenes Pavao, has now been destroyed, media in Paraguay report.
Police had learned Pavao was planning to escape by using explosives to blow a hole in the wall of the prison.
Pavao was due to complete his sentence for money laundering next year, at the end of which he was likely to face extradition to Brazil.
He has now been transferred to a special unit away from his luxury cell in Tacumbu prison, near the capital Asuncion.
An investigation is now under way to see which officials had allowed Pavao to set up his life of luxury.
Prisoners at Tacumbu told Agence France-Presse that anyone wanting to stay in the luxury unit had to pay Pavao a one-off fee of $5,000 (£3,778) and a weekly rent of $600.
"He was the most loved man in this prison," one inmate, Antonio Gonzalez, told AFP.
The cell also had air conditioning, comfortable furniture, an en-suite bathroom and a DVD collection.
Among the DVDs were a TV serialisation of the life of Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar.
Escobar, who was killed in 1993, was allowed to design his own prison in a deal struck with Colombian authorities.
The children were rescued after a blaze broke out at a property on Beambridge Road in Basildon at 15:15 BST.
A 13-year-old boy was airlifted to Royal London Hospital and a 10-year-old boy was taken to Basildon Hospital by ambulance.
Both are in a "life-threatening" condition, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said.
The cause of the blaze is not yet known and emergency services remain at the scene.
An investigation is under way.

The visiting goalkeeper denied Bryan Wharton and Gregor Fotheringham after Ayr's Paul Cairney had missed the target with his effort at Hampden.
The fourth-round replay ended 2-2, with the Spiders' Sean Burns sent off for a second bookable offence in extra-time.
The hosts twice went ahead through Paul Woods and Wharton, with Craig Moore and Conrad Balatoni levelling for Ayr.
Ian McCall's side, who drew 0-0 with Queen's Park at Somerset Park on Saturday, secured a fifth-round home tie against Stirling Albion or Clyde.
The hosts took the lead early on at the national stadium when Burns set up Woods to net inside the area and they led at the break with Wharton scoring shortly after Craig Moore's equaliser.
Former Kilmarnock defender Conrad Balatoni netted late in regulation time to force the additional 30 minutes and Burns' foul on Nicky Devlin resulted in a second yellow and a red card for the midfielder.

And, in added time in extra-time, Ayr introduced their fourth substitute - allowed in extra-time in this season's Scottish Cup - as Michael Rose replaced Devlin. The Honest Men became the first club to take advantage of the new rule.
Rose scored one of Ayr's penalties but Cairney's miss gave Gus MacPherson's side the initiative.
However, Fleming denied Wharton and, after Patrick Boyle had put Ayr 5-4 up, Fotheringham as well.

It will call for a fund to be created to allow local councils and community groups to make free parking available, in an assembly debate on Wednesday.
Plaid shadow local government secretary Sian Gwenllian said the move would help "level the playing field" with out of town developments.
Ministers called the link between car parking and visitor numbers "complex".
Ms Gwenllian said figures for the number of people visiting town centres were worrying "with town centres such as Abergavenny, Mold and Aberystwyth experiencing a decline in footfall of 39%, 28% and 18% respectively".
"We know that the lack of free parking is often a big turn-off for shoppers," she said.
"Out-of-town developments often offer free parking so it makes it very difficult for the High Street to compete.
"By allowing local authorities and community groups to provide free parking for shoppers, we can help level the playing field for high streets and get shoppers back there."
Ms Gwenllian said Plaid wanted the Welsh Government to set up a fund to help local authorities cover the cost.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We recognise the importance of high streets and are investing around £145m in supporting them through our Vibrant and Viable Places programme, Business Improvement Districts, town centre partnerships and town centre loans scheme.
"Car parking charges are a matter for local authorities, however, last year, we commissioned research into the effects of free parking on town centre footfall, which highlighted that the relationship between car parking and footfall is complex, as did the National Assembly for Wales Enterprise and Business Committee review."
She added that local councils could use the research to inform their decisions.
Meanwhile, Wrexham council has announced it will provide free parking at all council-run car parks in December.
Kaya Langmead was left with "red raw" skin after getting stuck to the seat at McDonald's in Exeter's High Street, her mother, Nicole Langmead, said.
The incident last week is thought to have been a prank. Police are searching for two girls seen leaving the toilets before Kaya went in.
Devon and Cornwall Police said no one else was being "sought at this time".
Latest updates on this story and other news from Devon and Cornwall
Kaya's mother, Nicole Langmead, said her daughter managed to free herself from the toilet seat, thought to have been covered in super-strong glue, but was in tears after the incident last Thursday afternoon.
McDonald's said staff swiftly offered medical help and contacted police "as soon as our restaurant team was made aware of this incident".
Devon and Cornwall Police said "two girls have been identified" but had concerns about their names being mentioned on social media.
The force said: "We are aware there is social media attention relating to the incident and understand that the public are concerned.
"However, we have a duty to protect everyone involved and will take positive action against threats or abuse.
"We are in contact with the victim's mother and will keep her updated on our progress."
The Velar will be made at JLR's Solihull factory, completing a £1.5bn investment at the site.
The fourth Range Rover model sits alongside other launches - the Jaguar F-PACE and the new Land Rover Discovery.
The Velar is expected to go on sale in July in the UK and Europe.
The Velar is the first Range Rover to be designed since the Evoque in 2011 and will sell in the UK at around £45,000. It will also exported more than 170 markets..
Range Rovers have been built at Solihull for almost 50 years and the Velar is only the latest model to be made there.
So far, only prototypes have been produced of the vehicle but, following testing, the first Velars will roll off production lines this summer.
JLR UK managing director, Jeremy Hicks said: "The whole team is enormously excited about bringing the new Range Rover Velar to customers across the UK."
Its selling-points include a touch-screen entertainment system and interiors made from recycled material.
The company said production of all Jaguar Land Rover models at its four UK manufacturing plants supports more than 40,000 British jobs and a further 250,000 in the supply chain.
JLR said: "We are absolutely committed to the UK. We are a British car manufacturer and we contribute £10bn to the economy every year."
Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show on ITV, he also said he felt "very lucky" that he eventually made up with Lennon after the rifts that split the pair.
Lennon was shot outside his apartment in New York on 8 December 1980.
"I just for days couldn't think that he was gone... It was just a huge shock," said Sir Paul.
He said: "I was at home and I got a phone call. It was early in the morning... It was just so horrific, you couldn't take it in and I couldn't take it in."
Sir Paul said it was "very difficult" to relay the news to his own family.
He added: "For me it was just so sad that I wasn't going to see him again and we weren't going to hang."
Lennon's killer Mark Chapman reportedly said he had heard voices in his head telling him to kill the musician. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in 1981 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and was denied parole again in August this year.
Sir Paul told Jonathan Ross: "The phrase kept coming in my head 'The jerk of all jerks'. It was just like 'this is just a jerk, this is not even a guy politically motivated, it's just some total random thing."
After the Beatles split up in April 1970, Sir Paul and Lennon did not see each other again for four years.
Referring to the band's break-up, he said: "We got to a point where we got really crappy over business.
"To me that rubbed off on me and for years I thought 'oh me and John, bitter rivals' and all this stuff. "
But Sir Paul said they really became on speaking terms again after their wives gave birth in the mid-1970s.
He said the fighting between them had became "boring" and they bonded over "normal stuff" - being new fathers and bread-making recipes.
"I'm so glad because it would have been the worst thing in the world to have this great relationship that then soured and he gets killed, so there was some solace in the fact that we got back together. We were good friends," said Sir Paul.
"The story about the break-up, it's true but it's not the main bit, the main bit was the affection." | The UK is home to more than 200 different species of bird, but it's getting harder for many of them to survive here.

A Daily Telegraph report included a film of Wright apparently accepting money in return for allegedly helping persuade Barnsley to sign players.
Speaking before the 50-year-old's dismissal, Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We have do things properly.
"We have to speak about it at the right time because it's not nice for anyone."
As part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption in football, the newspaper claims Wright accepted £5,000 at a meeting in Leeds in August.
The Championship club initially suspended Wright "pending an internal investigation" into the allegations.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Wright has said: "Any suggested acts contrary to criminal law or those of the Football Association and Fifa are categorically denied."
Barnsley, who were promoted to the Championship last season, play Leeds United in a Yorkshire derby on Saturday.
"We have to stay strong and focused," said head coach Heckingbottom.
"I can't talk about that. There will be time for me to speak about it later on. The club and myself can make statements later because there are still things ongoing.
"At this moment everything I am doing is focused on the players and the team just as it always is.
Heckingbottom is hoping for a swift resolution, but added: "It is out of my hands. People are dealing with it. It is a big issues and people are following the correct procedures.

Zetchi was elected unopposed on Monday after incumbent, Mohamed Raouraoua, refused to stand for a third consecutive term.
Algeria failed to get out of their group at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
"There are priorities, namely the appointment of a coach," Zetchi said.
He has set a deadline of two weeks to find a new coach to replace Belgian George Leekens, who resigned in January after the Nations Cup failure.
"I cannot mention names, but we do have CVs that we will study with the members of the federal bureau," he continued.
"We will opt for the candidate who corresponds to our brand of football - we all agree that Algerian football is centred on short passes and dribbling."
Zetchi, who is also the president of second division champions Paradou Athletic, wants to develop the game in Algeria as well.
Two of his main aims are to reform the committee that deals with financial fair play (DNCG) and set up four regional academies across the country.
"Our most important project is the rehabilitation of Algerian football and that means reforming amateur football," he continued.
"The role of the DNCG is not to punish, it is to help clubs balance their budget.
"If, from next season, we prohibit clubs from operating in deficit or debt, that will be a significant step towards financial fair play."
His predecessor Raouraoua had asked all local clubs to invest in academies, Zetchi has admitted that such a goal may be unrealistic.
"The outgoing president has left financial means for the federation and this must be spent to football development, which means the building of academies," Zetchi explained.
"We will invite clubs to invest alongside us until clubs can build their own academies and be autonomous."
Zetchi's club will play in the Algerian top-flight next season after two successive promotions with a team made-up of young players while the youth sides have also enjoyed success at a national level.
He set up Paradou in 1994 after making his money in ceramics and then founded Algeria's first academy in 2007.
The project is run by Jean-Marc Guillou Academies, who previously worked with Asec Mimosas in Ivory Coast, which produced the likes of the Toure brothers and Salomon Kalou.
Zetchi's appointment brings to an end 12 years in charge for Raouraoua, during which time he was was credited with reviving Algerian football in the international arena.
During his tenure, Algeria qualified for two World Cup finals and five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
The former Caf Executive Committee member will also be remembered for petitioning Fifa in 2009 to change its statutes to allow players switch international allegiance even after the age of 21.
Despite these successes critics have accused Raouraoua of neglecting local football at the expense of the national team.
Zetchi looks like he has his work cut out for him both locally and internationally with Algeria at the bottom of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group with a single point from their two matches so far. | The new president of Algeria's football federation, Kheireddine Zetchi, wants to get the national team back on track and develop the local game. | 39,338,936 | 697 | 38 | false |
The smaller Comair jet could be seen turning violently on its wheels as a shower of sparks fell from the impact point just after 2000 on Monday.
The Paris-bound Airbus A380 carried 495 passengers and 25 crew, Air France said. The Comair jet had 62 passengers and four crew. No-one was injured.
The flight recorders from both aircraft will be reviewed, investigators said.
The aircraft were towed to a nearby hangar for inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said it was investigating the incident.
"Preliminary reports indicate that the left wing tip of Air France flight 7 struck the left horizontal stabilizer of Comair flight 293 while the Comair airplane was taxiing to its gate," the NTSB said in a statement.
Air France said it would co-operate with the investigation.
Gwynedd councillors also rejected the planning application by Morbaine because of concern about the impact on local traffic and schools.
The developer wants to build the houses at Pen y Ffridd in Penrhosgarnedd.
The planning inspectorate will consider the appeal before making a recommendation to the Welsh Government.
The application for the houses was the biggest considered by Gwynedd council and was refused using new planning rules designed to protect the Welsh language.
Residents had organised a petition against building at the 35.36 acre (14.3 ha) site raising concerns about overdevelopment and lack of infrastructure.
The new national programme will be launched this spring, with the aim of helping 20,000 people this year.
Patients will be offered 13 sessions focusing on exercise, education and lifestyle changes.
GPs are being asked to identify the people who would benefit the most from the programme.
This will be done through blood-glucose testing and monitoring for signs of pre-diabetes.
While type-1 diabetes cannot be prevented and is not linked to lifestyle, type-2 often is.
The programme will be available in 27 areas, covering half the country, to start with and involve support such as supervised gym sessions.
The rest of England will follow by 2020, when there will be 100,000 places available.
There are currently 2.6 million people with type-2 diabetes in England, with 200,000 new diagnoses every year.
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said the scheme would reduce hospital admissions, prevent strokes and the complications of diabetes, such as amputations.
"By offering targeted support for at-risk individuals, the NHS is now playing its part in the wider campaign against obesity, which is already costing the country more than we spend on the police and fire service combined," he said.
Diabetes UK chief executive Chris Askew said the programme should prove significant for many people at risk of diabetes.
"This will provide them with the best possible chance of reducing their risk of developing diabetes and living a long full healthier life," he said.
The cost of the programme is £7m this year - but that is being set against the £10bn annual spend on diabetes care.
Public Health England chief executive Duncan Selbie added: "Type-2 diabetes is one of the biggest health challenges of our time."
Dr Maureen Baker, of the Royal College of GPs, welcomed the scheme.
But she warned: "The long-term behaviour change we need to see is hard to inspire."

Brownlee, 24, suffered an Achilles tendon tear in February and missed the first three races of the season.
These guys are above the rest, nobody's going to get near them
But he beat younger brother Jonny to gold in the Austrian Alpine sun without ever looking troubled by his injury.
Alistair Brownlee told BBC Sport: "This was very important. It couldn't get any better, could it, really?"
He added: "It was a long gap since last September to now. An Achilles tendon tear is a pretty bad injury and the Olympics are in six weeks, so it couldn't get more important.
"I knew I'd done a lot of training, this was more to go through the motions and I felt all right, really."
Kitzbuehel is expected to be the Brownlee brothers' last event before the Olympic race in Hyde Park.
Alistair came out of the swim in fifth place behind Jonny in third, then the pair briefly broke clear on the bike alongside Russia's Denis Vasiliev before being reeled in.
Stuart Hayes, who completes the GB Olympic men's team alongside the Brownlees, sought to justify his selection as a domestique to the brothers by controlling the pace at the front of the pack for the remainder of the bike ride.
Alistair, safely tucked in behind Hayes during the bike, exploded away as the run began with Jonny taking up second place. Neither were caught.
Asked if it was good to have his older brother back racing, Jonny Brownlee told BBC Sport: "I thought it would be but to be honest, no! He makes it harder.
"The start of the bike was really hard," said the 22-year-old. "After we got caught I thought, 'Alistair, what have you done there? You've shot my legs, you've shot your legs.' But it had hurt everyone else.
"It was a good tactic, but I don't think I'm going to win again now Alistair's back.
"Stu Hayes was really important today. If we didn't have him it would have been much, much harder. He allowed us to rest, kept the pace high so nobody could get away, and if it wasn't for that we'd have had to keep on working."
Hayes, 33, eventually finished 29th. He said: "Once I got to the front [of the bike], I knew it was time to support Alistair and Jonny. It's great to see them getting one and two.
"It really does bode well for London. These guys are above the rest, nobody's going to get near them."
David McNamee impressed to finish ninth for GB, who entered eight men into the race, with Aaron Harris 19th, Phil Wolfe 31st, Mark Buckingham 36th and Ritchie Nicholls 37th.
Javier Gomez, one of the Brownlees' leading rivals for the Olympic title in August, finished third.
Saturday's women's race took place with a far weaker field of 41. Most notable among the list of absentees was world champion Helen Jenkins, who chose not to take part.
In Jenkins' absence, her Olympic team-mate Vicky Holland started well but never recovered from a mechanical problem which developed shortly after the swim-to-bike transition.
"It got to the point where it could have been potentially detrimental to my [Olympic] race in six weeks' time," said Holland of her battle with a locked brake.
Jodie Stimpson, who has not been selected for London 2012, was on course for her best result in an individual World Series race in almost a year.
She was third at one point in the ride but slipped to 11th in the run before a stomach problem forced her from the course in the final lap.
Vanessa Raw, Britain's other entrant, finished 26th as Switzerland's Nicola Spirig sprinted to victory.
British Triathlon has opted to pick Jenkins, Holland and a domestique in the form of youngster Lucy Hall for the Olympics, ahead of Stimpson and Liz Blatchford.

The eight-team event, set to begin in 2020, was outlined by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) last week.
"I'm all for bettering things, but what is it going to look like?" Surrey director of cricket and ex-England skipper Stewart told BBC Sport.
"Even the ECB doesn't know."
The new format is comparable with other high-profile T20 tournaments such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Australia's Big Bash League - both of which enjoy huge success and attract most of the world's best limited-overs players, drawing large crowds.
The tournament would involve eight city-based teams, rather than the 18 counties who traditionally contest the main domestic competitions, but counties would be guaranteed payment of £1.3m a year.
From a Surrey point of view we don't need it. We sell out our T20 home games, so from a purely blinkered Surrey view we would be happy to continue as we are
In announcing the plans, the ECB said it would help make cricket a part of "mainstream conversation" and "relevant to a whole new audience".
Stewart explained: "My concern, which I know a lot of other counties have - those who might not be able to speak about it because they are not in the same financial position - is that we are being asked to vote on something very soon, when we don't know exactly what we are voting for.
"To be asked to vote on an unknown is a bit dangerous.
"Is it being done for the good of all cricket, or is Test cricket, four-day cricket, 50-over cricket going to become second, third option or fourth option?
"There are a lot of counties in a terrible financial state. This £1.3m a year that helps them - is that enough to save them? I don't know."
Surrey captain Gareth Batty, who has played 133 domestic T20 matches, said the proposed changes were both "exciting and scary".
"I think of it as going back to the Kerry Packer era. This is the biggest moment certainly in English cricket, if not cricket in the world, since that period," he said.
"I believe that, from a cricket fan point of view, we have to get it right, because if we don't we could be looking at a decade of cricket being put on the back foot.
"So change is good but it's got to be change to make things better than what we've already got and to move the game forward."
Stewart, who appeared in 133 Tests and 170 one-day internationals for England, added: "From a Surrey point of view we don't need it.
"We sell out our T20 home games, so from a purely blinkered Surrey view we would be happy to continue as we are.
"But could the ECB have invested some of this money directly, before going the full hog with a new format, to try and help the financial problems some counties have found themselves in, for example?
"You have to move with the times, and I want this to work, but what damage might there be to the counties' history, too?"

The Pars' win, combined with nearest challengers Peterhead's loss to Cowdenbeath, gave Allan Johnston's side an unassailable lead.
Fassal El Bakhtaoui struck twice in the first half to put the hosts in control.
Robert Thomson pulled one back for Brechin but El Bakhtaoui completed his hat-trick in stoppage time, superbly volleying past Graeme Smith.
With so much at stake for the home side, they came out of the traps quickly and pinned back their opponents.
El Bakhtaoui made space for himself on the edge of box but his effort was blocked.
There was a blow for the visitors when player-manager Darren Dods came off injured to be replaced by Euan Smith.
And Brechin soon fell behind with El Bakhtaoui involved in the build-up and finish.
His ball across was inches away from David Hopkirk but Ryan Wallace returned it into the area for El Bakhtaoui to convert.
Smith made a terrific stop to deny Hopkirk when he was clean through but it merely delayed Dunfermline doubling their lead.
Jason Talbot's deep cross eluded the Brechin defence and El Bakhtaoui was able to volley back across Smith into the net.
A times it looked too easy for the Pars but the visitors rallied and forced Sean Murdoch into a couple of decent saves before eventually reducing their deficit.
The home defence were caught napping as Thomson latched on to a ball through the middle and slid in to find the net.
The goal rattled the large home crowd, who had turned up in expectation of claiming the title on home turf.
Wallace's second-half volley crashed off the crossbar and El Bakhtaoui smashed the rebound straight at Smith.
But the striker did get his treble and a 29th goal of the season - capping a fine performance with another fine finish.

They responded to seven incidents last weekend and five first responders are using pedal-power again on Saturday as the city hosts big crowds with Wales' rugby and football teams in action.
The service could be rolled out in other areas, according to the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust.
"I'm sure this will save lives in the city centre," said boss Richard Lee.
It could also help to avoid sending an emergency ambulance if suitable treatment can be administered on scene in city centre locations like pedestrianised areas.
Bob Tooby, head of the ambulance's operations in Cardiff & Vale, said: "We have tested the bikes across the Vale of Glamorgan and are already in discussion to expand their use across other areas around Wales over the next three years.
"Early results are promising with the new bikes having been tested last weekend during the Wales v Australia international, and the team responded to seven calls in the busy city centre and Cardiff Bay."
The service is already in operation elsewhere in the UK and St John Ambulance have had cycle responders for several years.
Mrs Clinton spoke over the shouting, saying if elected she would carry on the work on President Barack Obama.
The group of 10 Black Lives Matter protesters were quickly escorted away.
They have interrupted campaign events to highlight police brutality, racism and mass incarceration.
The activists have mostly targeted Democrats - including Mrs Clinton and her chief rival Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders have responded to the protests with policy proposals, meeting activists and talking about racial issues on the campaign trail.
The Black Lives Matter movement was originally formed after George Zimmerman, a Hispanic man in Florida, was acquitted of the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin.
It grew to greater prominence after a white policeman killed Michael Brown - an unarmed black teenager - in Ferguson, Missouri, last year.
The protest movement has continued to gain strength over the past year after several controversial police-involved deaths of black people including those of Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland.
Friday's rally was entitled "African Americans for Hillary". Guests included pop singer Usher and civil rights activist and Congressman John Lewis.
The crowd of about 2,000 chanted "Let her talk!" and Mr Lewis asked them to stop.
"I'm sorry they didn't listen, because some of what they demanded I am offering and intend to fight for as president," Mrs Clinton said. "We have to come together as a nation."
In 1994 Mrs Clinton lobbied for one of the largest crime bills in US history, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which provided billions for prisons. The law also introduced the "three strikes" policy, which called for mandatory life imprisonment without parole for federal offenders with three or more felony or drug trafficking convictions.
Mrs Clinton has changed her position since she has been on the campaign trail, calling for the end of mass incarceration and expressing her concern over police violence and black people.
On Friday, she also proposed a legal ban on racial profiling by police.
The policy would forbid federal, state and local officers from "relying on a person's race when conducting routine or spontaneous investigatory activities," unless they have information linking a suspect to a crime.
And she said she supported the "ban the box" movement, an effort to prevent job applicants from being disqualified because of their criminal history.
Trish Adudu was walking to her car in Coventry city centre when a man cycled past and made the remark.
The BBC Coventry and Warwickshire presenter said she witnessed the same person abusing an Asian man moments earlier.
Police have vowed to find the perpetrator of the "sickening" attack.
It comes after the West Midlands force's Chief Constable Dave Thompson promised a "zero-tolerance" stance on hate crime following the EU referendum result.
Several racial attacks have been reported in the wake of the decision to leave the EU.
Trish told listeners the attack happened as she was getting into her car at around 09:30 BST on Wednesday.
She said: "He cycled over to what looked like an Asian student and was basically saying 'Get out of here. Go back home. Haven't you heard the vote?'
"And then he cycles around, sees me looking at him in shock, because it was so loud and so angry.
"And then he says to me 'yeah, that goes for you as well'. He starts calling me the N word and told he to 'go home'."
Insp Alastair Orencas appealed for witnesses who saw the abuse to come forward.
"There is absolutely no place for this type of sickening and deplorable behaviour on the streets of our city and we will be doing everything we can to identify the perpetrator," he said.
"I would also appeal directly to this individual - if it was you who shouted these words, do the right thing and hand yourself in."
Trish added: "This type of vile abuse needs to stop and we need to work together to try to get rid of it.
"I would love for the other man who was there to come forward, because this is not just about me.
"If the guy on the bike could be so vile in such a short period of time, then what else could he go on to do? Who's next? Someone is going to get hurt."
She called for a "national effort" to ensure that anyone who had a right to protection was integrated while those denied it should leave.
Germany turned down Amri's asylum bid in June but failed to deport him because Tunisia refused to accept him.
Ministers are preparing tougher rules for such cases in future.
The chancellor said the attack showed that the government had to "act faster, act correctly, not just to get stuck with announcements but also to show where it really stands".
Justice Minister Heiko Maas believes the authorities should have the right to detain for an 18-month period individuals who are designated a threat to security and given a deportation order. More than 220 foreign suspects in Germany have reportedly been labelled as potential threats.
More on Berlin attack:
Anis Amri was not kept in custody because he did not have Tunisian documents. Although he was seen as a security risk by authorities in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia for planning a serious act of violence, he moved to Berlin and was not detained because of a lack of evidence.
The justice minister said such suspects should be made to wear electronic tags even without a conviction. "Electronic ankle monitors should not be a taboo," Mr Maas said. Although they were not a complete solution, they could help improve monitoring of suspects, he argued.
He is due to meet Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere on Tuesday to seek agreement on security measures. Mr de Maiziere has already called for special centres to be set up to house rejected asylum seekers.
However, part of the problem for the German government has been its difficulty in sending people back to Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. The chancellor said reaching an agreement with such states would only succeed if respect was shown to them.
"Those who have no residency status must be returned to their homeland, but that also demands of us that we concern ourselves with the problems of these countries and find solutions that are in our mutual interest," Mrs Merkel said on Monday.
The opposition Green party has so far refused to back a move to declare the three countries as "safe countries" for deporting failed asylum seekers. The head of the Left party, Bernd Riexinger, warned that anyone "frantically" calling for stricter punishments was slowly calling into question Germany's rule of law.
It has been operating a pay and display system since last year, and on Wednesday, members of a scrutiny committee voted to continue charging but with a number of amendments.
Flintshire council said the parking fees would help protect services threatened by budget cuts.
Its cabinet will now be asked to endorse the decision on 21 June.
"Pay and display is here to stay in Flintshire," said cabinet member Bernie Attridge, adding that it was important to collect and listen to feedback so they could improve the experience of car park users.
He said the tariffs people paid were not only used to maintain and improve car parking facilities, but helped "protect other vital services, such as social services and education, which are under threat from continued budget reductions."
Change Step, based in Colwyn Bay, Conwy county, said 29 workers would lose their jobs following an unsuccessful bid for further funding.
The charity said it was still "determined to carry on".
The Ministry of Defence, which awarded the charity £995,918 in 2013, said it could apply for further funding "in the coming months and years".
About 1,000 veterans and their families have been supported by the charity's team of veteran peer mentors, dealing with mental health issues, loneliness, welfare or addiction problems.
Nikki Hester, of Cwmbran, Torfaen, served as a nurse in the first Gulf War in 1991 and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She said: "I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for them. I am really worried.
"It makes an enormous difference to know the peer mentors have been through what I've been through. I feel so good after they've been to see me. It makes me feel human.
"It is the only charity in Wales doing this kind of work. It will be a huge blow to Wales in so many ways."
Director Geraint Jones said Change Step was talking to its partners and stakeholders about the way forward.
"The project was initially funded by the Armed Forces Covenant fund, which redistributed the proceeds from fines paid by UK banks," he said.
"That funding has now come to an end and, despite exhaustive efforts on our part, we have not been able to secure the additional finance we need to continue our work in its present form.
"We are determined to carry on one way or another and are overwhelmed by the goodwill and support we have been shown by our friends and colleagues."
An MoD spokesman said it could not comment on individual cases but added: "Decisions on grants are made by a national panel and there is further opportunity to apply for funding in the coming months and years."
The University and College Union says more than 250 staff are in fear for their jobs after managers ignored agreed procedures.
"We now feel we have no alternative but to ballot for industrial action," said UCU regional official Martyn Moss.
A university spokesman said management had offered "further discussions to try to resolve any issues".
The dispute began in April, when the university announced 37 staff who had been on its redeployment register for three months or more could face redundancy.
"The move was a dramatic departure from the university's policy of allowing staff to remain on the register until redeployed in a new role without fear of redundancy," says the union.
It says university managers rode "roughshod" over agreed procedures while the redeployment policy was in the process of being revised.
The union is angry that instead of waiting for the revisions to be finished, managers "simply went ahead and issued 37 'at risk of redundancy' notices".
The dispute intensified in July, when 219 staff in the computer support and maintenance team were told the university wanted to cut 68 jobs.
"Out of the blue, 37 people who thought they were safely on the books of the university suddenly faced a redundancy process... to make it worse, another 219 staff are also at risk of losing their jobs," said Mr Moss.
But the university denies anyone will face compulsory redundancy - and says the letters were in fact requests for volunteers.
Talks broke down last month, and UCU members now have until 20 November to vote on industrial action.
Both sides say they are committed to more talks, possibly through the arbitration service, Acas.
Jonathan Smith, 38, died instantly when he was shot twice outside a bungalow in Melton on 20 May.
Peter Guy, 54, of Melton Old Road, was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter last Friday after a week-long trial at Hull Crown Court.
He admitted five associated firearms offences at a previous hearing.
Guy has been sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court.
During the trial the court heard Mr Smith had driven from his home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, to Guy's property and repeatedly crashed his lorry into his van and garage door after a family row.
The jury was played the emergency call to the police in which Guy was heard claiming he had been stabbed twice in the neck.
He was then heard to say: "I've shot him."
Guy's claim of shooting Mr Smith in self defence was rejected by the jury.

The BBC News website asked the independent Money Advice Service to deliver a calendar of month-by-month tips for those trying to keep their personal finances in order.
Andy Webb, from the service, says that the key for lovebirds in February is to shop around.
Video Journalist: Kevin Peachey
In a speech in Australia, he said there was a "pernicious and false" belief that the law did not apply online.
This undermined the rule of law and could lead to journalists cutting corners in order to "steal a march" on their online competitors.
Creative thinking was needed to ensure the law was applied equally, he said.
Lord Justice Leveson, whose report into the press was published last month, is taking part in a lecture tour, although he has ruled out commenting on the report itself.
During a speech at the University of Melbourne, he insisted there was an important difference between mainstream journalists with "a powerful reputation for accuracy" and bloggers and tweeters who were "no more than electronic versions of pub gossip".
But, he said, there was a danger that a perception online competitors were operating without legal restraints could damage wider journalistic standards and "lead to journalists adopting an approach which was less than scrupulous in the pursuit of stories".
He said: "In order to steal a march on bloggers and tweeters, they might be tempted to cut corners, to break or at least bend the law to obtain information for stories or to infringe privacy improperly to the same end.
"It may encourage unethical, and potentially, unlawful practices to get a story.
"In a culture which sees some act with impunity in the face of the civil law, and the criminal law, a general decline in standards may arise."
It could also lead to some newspapers deciding to publish entirely online and moving abroad to avoid UK law, although this was unlikely in the near future, he added.
He called for creative thinking on making sure the law was applied equally and more international co-operation to enforce standards.
"It might be said that if we facilitate or condone breaches of the law, and thereby weaken the rule of law by failing to act and to recognise judgements and court orders which emanate from other countries, we encourage the weakening of the rule of law at home too," he said.
"If we are to ensure that appropriate standards are maintained, we must meet those challenges, and ensure that the media not only remains subject to the law but that it is not placed at a disadvantage where the enforcement of the law is concerned.
"We will therefore have to think creatively about how we ensure that the law is capable of equal application, and is applied equally and fairly, against the mainstream media and bloggers, tweeters and other amateur online journalists."
Coleman will leave hospital after surgery for a double break, suffered in a tackle that saw Neil Taylor sent off.
Williams also revealed Taylor wanted to see Coleman in hospital and sent him a text message from the Aviva Stadium.
"Neil was gutted. He was sitting on the floor virtually in tears," he said.
Williams added in an interview with the Everton website: "Even people who don't know Seamus like I do were gutted.
"He asked me to check if it would be OK to go to see Seamus in hospital. He got his number off me and sent him a text straight away.
"When I found out it was a broken leg it made me feel sick inside because it's someone who I like so much and is one of my mates.
"He's going to have up and down days but the way he is, I'm sure his determination will help with his rehab and hopefully we'll have him back sooner rather than later and stronger than ever."
Williams says Coleman has become one of his best friends at the Merseyside club since joining from Swansea City last summer.
The centre-back says he did not initially realise the extent of the injury, which was so severe that broadcasters refused to show replays of the incident.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Seamus is one of my best mates at Everton, someone who I've got really close to," Williams said.
"For me personally, I didn't really know anyone at Everton when I came to the club but he was someone who made me feel welcome and helped me to settle in straight away.
"I tried to go to the hospital Seamus was in after the game but the FAI (Football Association of Wales) said he'd had a few family visitors and they were trying to get him to sleep.
"I sent him a text and he woke up in the night and texted me back. I spoke to him then. I've spoken to him since, too, and he seems positive and focused on his recovery."
Williams was pictured comforting Coleman as he was taken off the field on a stretcher and says he initially had not realised the extent of the damage.
"I didn't really see the tackle. All I saw was the red card and my initial reaction was to go to the referee," he said.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"At the time I was in the swing of things. It took me a minute to realise, 'Actually, he hasn't got up,' and that it was Seamus who was down.
"At that point, I wasn't thinking about the game, or us being down to 10 men, I started thinking, 'Is my mate okay?' That was when I went over to him.
"Even at that point I didn't know it was so serious. After the game I went straight into their dressing room to speak to James McCarthy and he told me Seamus had gone to hospital and had broken his leg.
"It was just a weird feeling from everyone around the dressing rooms."
The president's comments came despite Scottish ministers insisting an independent Scotland would negotiate its position "from within".
Mr Barroso told the BBC's Hardtalk programme the position was set out in clear legal terms.
The Scottish government is holding an independence referendum in autumn 2014.
Ministers have said that, in the event of a "yes" vote, Scotland would "quite clearly" remain part of the European Union and negotiations would take place "from within that context".
Responding to Mr Barroso's intervention - described by Prime Minister David Cameron as "significant" - Scottish Deputy First minister Nicola Sturgeon said the SNP government did not agree that an independent Scotland would have to reapply for European Union membership.
She said early talks were now being sought with the European Commission to discuss the specific process of Scotland becoming independent.
A letter from Mr Barosso to the House of Lords economic committee, which is examining the independence question, also confirmed his position that a new independent state would "become a third country with respect to the EU".
Mr Barroso, when asked by the BBC whether Scotland's membership would be "nodded through", responded: "I did not comment on specific situations of member states because I very much respect that it is their right, their sovereign right to decide about their organisation.
By Brian TaylorPolitical editor, Scotland
"What I said, and it is our doctrine and it is clear since 2004 in legal terms, if one part of a country - I am not referring now to any specific one - wants to become an independent state, of course as an independent state it has to apply to the European membership according to the rules - that is obvious."
Asked whether an independent country would have to renegotiate its terms, Mr Barroso said: "Yes.".
When further asked whether that negotiation would be from "inside" the EU, the president responded: "We are a union of states, so if there is a new state, of course, that state has to apply for membership and negotiate the conditions with other member states.
"For European Union purposes, from a legal point of view, it is certainly a new state. If a country becomes independent it is a new state and has to negotiate with the EU."
Mr Barroso also said that, if Scotland became independent, the rest of the UK would not have to negotiate a new position, because of the "principle of the continuity of the state".
In response, Ms Sturgeon said: "We do not agree that an independent Scotland will be in the position of having to reapply for European Union membership, because there is no provision for removing EU treaties from any part of EU territory, or for removing European citizenship from the people of a country which has been in the EU for 40 years.
"We have always said that the specific terms of Scotland's continued EU membership as an independent nation will be negotiated - but the crucial point is that these negotiations will take place from within the EU, because in the period immediately following a 'Yes' vote in the referendum, Scotland will still be part of the UK and the EU.
"No serious person can argue that it is anything other than in the interests of the EU to keep Scotland in continuous membership, given this country's huge natural resources in energy and other aspects which make us such a valuable European partner.
If Scots voters vote 'Yes' in the referendum, Scottish ministers will seek to negotiate the terms of independence with Westminster between 2014 and 2016, negotiating their terms of EU membership at the same time.
The SNP says the Edinburgh Agreement between the Scottish and UK governments, which set out the framework for the referendum, commits both sides to work in the best interests of Scotland and the UK, including remaining inside the EU.
Following Mr Barroso's comments, the prime minister told a lunch meeting of journalists he was "not a legal expert' but "it seems as if you leave the UK you have to re-apply".
Mr Cameron went on to say Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, "wanted to have his cake and eat it", by claiming you could remain in the UK following any vote to leave, and from that position negotiate membership of the EU.
Officials from the House of Lords later released correspondence from Mr Barroso regarding the position of an independent Scotland.
It states: "The EU is founded on the Treaties which apply only to the Member States who have agreed and ratified them. If part of the territory of a Member State would cease to be part of that state because it were to become a new independent state, the Treaties would no longer apply to that territory.
"In other words, a new independent state would, by the fact of its independence, become a third country with respect to the EU and the Treaties would no longer apply on its territory."
Scotland's opposition parties have argued that Mr Salmond's position on EU membership under Scottish independence was based on "meaningless assertion".
Labour, the Tories and the Liberal Democrats said the consequences of an independent Scotland having to reapply to join the EU could mean having to adopt the Euro and set up border controls with England.
Interviewer: The Commission has made it clear that any country, a country like Scotland, that would choose to be independent, would need to reapply for EU membership. When you think about how that would work, would it just be nodded through, do you think?
Jose Manuel Barroso: "Look, I did not comment on specific situations of member states because I very much respect that it is their right, their sovereign right to decide about their organisation.
"Now, what I said, and it is our doctrine and it is clear since 2004 in legal terms, if one part of a country - I am not referring now to any specific one - wants to become an independent state, of course as an independent state it has to apply to the European membership according to the rules - that is obvious."
Interviewer: "So, it has to renegotiate its terms?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "Yes."
Interviewer: "And is it renegotiating those terms from inside, as a member of the EU, or is it effectively reapplying from outside the EU?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "We are a union of states, so if there is a new state, of course, that state has to apply for membership and negotiate the conditions with other member states......
Interviewer: "So if, and I am using the example of Scotland, and I appreciate you are not talking about specifics, but say a country like Scotland, it, say, chooses independence, it is then like a new state applying to the EU?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "For European Union purposes, from a legal point of view, it is certainly a new state. If a country becomes independent it is a new state and has to negotiate with the EU.
Interviewer: "What about the rest of the UK that is effectively left behind by Scotland's independence...."
Jose Manuel Barroso: "That is the principle of the continuity of the state, in that case if a....
Interviewer: "Would it have to renegotiate its terms?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "No, no in principle no."
The firm is accused of giving large donations to non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a close confidante of Ms Park.
The donations were allegedly given in exchange for political support of a controversial merger.
Ms Choi has been charged with coercion and attempted fraud.
According to South Korea's Yonhap news agency, Choi Gee-sung, a Samsung vice chairman, and Chang Choong-ki, a president at the group, were being interviewed on Monday by special prosecutors about the corruption allegations.
It was reported the pair were being treated as witnesses, rather than being suspected of any wrongdoing.
The claims circle around a merger between the electronics giant's construction arm, Samsung C&T, and an affiliate firm, Cheil Industries.
The deal went through despite significant opposition from shareholders, who said it would hurt minority shareholders while benefiting the family of Samsung's group owner Lee Kun-hee.
South Korea's National Pension Service (NPS), which owns stakes in both companies, sealed the deal by voting in favour of it and the head of the NPS has since been arrested.
But prosecutors also allege that Samsung gave €2.8m euros ($3.1m; £2.5m) to a company co-owned by Ms Choi and her daughter, in return for Ms Park's support for the deal.
In a parliamentary session last month, senior executives of Samsung admitted the firm gave money to help the equestrian career of Ms Choi's daughter, Chung Yoo-ra.
Samsung's de-facto head, Lee Jae-yong confirmed that the company had paid for a horse for Ms Chung - though to be worth around $850,000 - saying he regretted the move.
A total of eight firms have so far admitted donating funds linked to President Park Geun-hye, but deny seeking favours.
Politicians voted on 9 December to impeach President Park - a decision South Korea's constitutional court has six months to uphold or overturn. Until then she remains formally president but stripped of her powers, which are handed to the prime minister, a presidential appointee.
Ms Park denies wrongdoing but has apologised for the way she managed her relationship with Ms Choi, who also denies committing criminal offences.
The attack happened as a 21-year-old woman was walking along a footpath off Whitchurch Drive near to Furrows Garage, in Telford, police said.
The man ran off when a couple appeared on the footpath coming from the direction of Princess Royal Hospital.
Police released CCTV images on Friday of a man they wanted to speak and said later arrested a 35-year-old man.
The incident happened at about 16:00 BST on Good Friday, 3 April, police said.
In the deadliest incident, at least 45 people died in one village after an avalanche in Nuristan, a northeastern Afghan province on the Pakistan border.
Thirteen people were also killed in an avalanche in northern Pakistan, nine of them in the town of Chitral.
Dozens of houses have been destroyed and people were reported to have frozen to death, trapped in cars.
There were also avalanches to the north of the Afghan capital, Kabul.
"Avalanches have buried two entire villages," a spokesman for the Afghan ministry of natural disaster told news agency AFP of the Barg Matal area in Nuristan.
The neighbouring mountainous province of Badakhshan was also badly hit by snow storms.
Rescuers are experiencing difficulty reaching trapped people, because of bad weather and snow-blocked roads.
The main international airport in Kabul has also been closed because of snow and ice on the runway.
On Kabul-Kandahar highway, police and soldiers rescued some trapped 250 vehicles.
The Salang pass north of Kabul was also closed under as much as 2.5m (7ft) of snow, local police chief Rajab Salangi said, according to Reuters news agency.
At least two stranded drivers have frozen to death. Dozens are marooned there without food.
Officials are warning of more avalanches as snow storms are continuing.
Kristen Brekke, 20, from Cardiff, Forhad Rahman, from Gloucestershire, and Adeel Ulhaq, from Nottinghamshire, were found guilty of helping in the preparation of an act of terrorism.
Rahman and Ulhaq, both 21, were each sentenced to five years, while Brekke was given four years and six months.
Ulhaq was also sentenced to an additional year for funding terrorism.
The Old Bailey heard they helped Aseel Muthana, 19, join so-called Islamic State in February 2014 and that they all shared the same "highly-radical ideology".
The court was told Rahman and Ulhaq had also expressed a desire to follow Muthana to Syria to fight with militants.
Sentencing the men, Judge Rebecca Poulet said: "You Rahman and Ulhaq were waiting in the wings to assist anyone willing to travel to fight."
She told Brekke his sentence was lower because there was no extremist material found on his computer and there was no suggestion he himself intended to travel to Syria.
He was "perhaps naive," she added.
The court had heard how Aseel Muthana's older brother Nasser Muthana, who he idolised, had previously travelled to war-torn Syria with four other young men from Cardiff.
Nasser later achieved "notoriety" when he and other young men made a propaganda video for IS called There Is No life Without Jihad which was released in June 2014, the jury was told.
Brekke, along with Rahman, of Cirencester, and Ulhaq, of Sutton-in-Ashfield, helped Aseel travel to Syria three months after his brother.
Brekke, who worked with Aseel in an ice cream cafe, helped his friend obtain a new passport as his had been confiscated by his parents after his brother left the country, the court was told.
He also bought and stored combat clothing for him at his Grangetown home.
Rahman paid for his flight, and Ulhaq provided him with tactical advice on equipment he would need.
They were both in contact with Aseel online.
All three men were found guilty of the preparation of terrorist acts while Ulhaq was also convicted of entering into or becoming concerned in a terrorist funding arrangement.
The court heard Ulhaq also paid for ammunition for IS, having arranged the transfer of funds through coded messages.
He had a Twitter account called Guilty Muslim which appeared to be a light hearted way of fundraising for charities.
But it showed support for the terror group and in private messages he discussed his plans to travel to Syria to fight.
The Charity Commission later froze his account and paid the money he had raised to a suitable registered charity.
The Department of Commerce reported a deficit of $41.5bn in June, a 7% decline from May's $44.7bn.
Imports fell by $2.9bn to $237.4bn, in part due to lower imports of consumer goods and cars. Imports of petroleum products also fell.
Exports of food and drink, vehicles and consumer goods helped to lift exports by 0.1% to a record $195.9bn.
Growth in the US economy in the second quarter may have been stronger than initial US government estimates, the figures suggest.
Last week the Department of Commerce said the US economy grew at an annual rate of 4% during the April-to-June period.
However, that rate included an estimate for the June trade deficit that was higher than Wednesday's figure, economists said.
The trade deficit in petroleum products fell to $14.6bn, its lowest level in four years, helped by lower imports.
US imports of petroleum products have fallen every month since January.
Domestic shale oil and gas production has been booming in the US over the past few years, reducing the country's reliance on imports.

"The level of concentration among the top shooters is extraordinary and the fans will witness it at close quarters. I attended the Olympic test event at Woolwich and it is a great venue. There is a distinct possibility Team GB's 10-strong team will land a medal. Peter Wilson is one of the favourites in the double trap. Elena Allen, born in Moscow but living in south Wales, won two Commonwealth golds and she is definitely a contender in the women's skeet. Expect the medals to be spread out globally as shooting is popular worldwide. South Korea's Kim Jang-mi set a finals world record in the women's 25m pistol at the test event, and is one to look out for."
And ahead of London 2012, there is the curious case of Britain's top medal hope, double trap specialist Peter Wilson, being coached by Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum, a member of Dubai's ruling family and the 2004 Olympic champion in the event.
Wilson's double trap team-mate Richard Faulds is Britain's last gold medallist in shooting, having won in 2000; London will be his fifth consecutive Games.
There were just three shooting events at the inaugural modern Olympics, but this has grown to 15 disciplines, with 390 athletes from more than 100 countries expected to take part in 2012.
Shooting's venue at the Royal Artillery Barracks will ensure its place close to the centre of the action in London.
Shooting is a tense sport that requires immense reserves of skill, concentration and nerve.
Strength, stamina, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills are all improved by taking part.
As shooting events rely on mental power, people of all ages can compete against each other on equal terms.
The oldest gold medal winner in Olympic history remains Sweden's Oscar Swahn.
He was part of the single shot running deer team at the 1912 Games in Stockholm when aged 64.
To learn the techniques involved in pistol and rifle events, beginners are advised to try out the National Rifle Association of Great Britain's probationary courses for membership.

In the rifle and pistol competitions, marksmen aim at targets ranging from 10 to 50 metres away. In the shotgun event, competitors shoot at clay targets propelled at a series of different directions and angles.
Karoly Takacs of Hungary refused to give up on his Olympic dream when his right hand was shattered by a grenade. He taught himself to shoot with his left hand and - at the 1948 London Olympics - won gold in the rapid-fire pistol event, beating the world record by 10 points.
In the events with a stationary target, there are 10 scoring rings on the target board.
In qualification, the centre of the target is worth a maximum 10 points. In the finals, the scoring system changes and the 10 rings are subdivided into 10 'decimal' score zones from 10.0 up to a maximum of 10.9.
In shotgun events, by contrast, athletes shoot at moving targets, with scoring done on a simple hit-or-miss basis.
In all but one of the Olympic shooting events, the scores from the qualification and final phases are added together to determine the overall rankings. The exception is the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol, for which only the scores in the final round will be used to determine the rankings.
Eight athletes progress from the qualification round to the final in all five rifle events and every pistol event except the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol.
In the five shotgun events, six athletes progress from the qualification round to the final.
The rules in each event vary according to the discipline, distance, and types of target and arm, firing position, number of shots and the time within which the shots have to be fired.

Any British medal is most likely to come in the men's double trap: Richard Faulds is a former Olympic champion, while recent world number one and world record holder Peter Wilson is coached by Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum, the 2004 Olympic gold medallist.
Pistol shooter Tomoyuki Matsuda of Japan is a double world champion who ran for his life to escape the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Leading the Chinese charge will be double Olympic rifle champion Du Li, who returned in 2011 after a two-and-a-half year absence.
Shooting as a sport has been practised for hundreds of years in European countries, with some German shooting clubs dating back more than 500 years.
With the exceptions of the 1904 and 1928 Games, shooting has featured on every Olympic programme since the first modern Games in 1896. Women's events were added to the schedule in 1984.
There was live pigeon shooting in Paris in 1900, pistol duelling at the unofficial Games six years later - when participants shot at mannequins in frock coats - and when London first hosted the Olympics, competitors shot at cardboard cut-outs in the running deer competition.
Men: 50m Rifle 3 Positions, 50m Rifle Prone, 10m Air Rifle, 50m Pistol, 25m Rapid Fire Pistol, 10m Air Pistol, Trap, Double Trap, Skeet
Women: 10m Air Rifle, 50m Rifle 3 Positions, 25m Pistol, 10m Air Pistol, Trap, Skeet
The live pigeon shooting event at the 1900 Games in Paris marked the only time in Olympic history when animals were deliberately killed in the name of sport.
Leon de Lunden of Belgium bagged 21 birds to clinch the gold medal.
More recently, China's Wang Yifu fired his last shot at the 1996 Olympics while collapsing to the floor due to low blood sugar levels. When he came round, he was told that he had managed to win silver.
The 2008 Olympics was memorable for the story of another Chinese competitor, Du Li. She had been expected to become the host nation's first winner on the opening morning of the Games, but she finished out of the medals in the 10m air rifle and broke down in tears.
Her emotional redemption came five days later with gold in the 50m rifle 3 position.
Shooting also endured its first major doping case in Beijing, when Kim Jong-su of North Korea was stripped of his medals in the 50m pistol and 10m air pistol after testing positive for banned beta blocker propranolol.

Somali nationals are among those banned from travelling to the US under the executive order issued on Friday.
That had applied to Farah, who was born in Somalia, until the announcement by the UK Foreign Office late on Sunday.
Farah, 33, called Trump's policy "divisive and discriminatory".
Trump's executive order halted the entire US refugee programme and also instituted a 90-day travel ban for nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson held conversations with the US government on Sunday.
The Foreign Office then advised British travellers that dual citizens were only affected if travelling to the US from one of the seven banned countries.
"We understand from the statement released this evening by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office that the executive order will not apply to Mo, and we are grateful to the FCO for urgently clarifying the situation," said a spokesperson for Farah, who has lived in Oregon for six years with his family.
"Mo is relieved that he will be able to return to his family once his current training camp concludes."
The statement added that Farah "still fundamentally disagrees with this incredibly divisive and discriminatory policy".
Writing on his Facebook page earlier on Sunday, Farah had said: "On 1 January this year, Her Majesty The Queen made me a Knight of the Realm. On 27 January, President Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien."
Farah said he believed Trump's policy "comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice" and that his own story was "an example of what can happen when you follow polices of compassion and understanding, not hate and isolation".
Farah, who moved to Britain aged eight, is at a training camp in Ethiopia as part of his preparations for August's World Championships in London, and is not planning to return to the US for a number of weeks.
His side lost all six of their matches at the 2015 World Cup.
"We were absolutely gutted not to win a game at the World Cup in the spring, but we were really close," Bradburn told BBC Scotland.
"The side have made big gains in the last 12 months and I couldn't be happier with where the guys are at."
The Scots fly out to Abu Dhabi this weekend for a training camp as they begin preparations for the T20 World Cup in India in March and Bradburn believes they are close to recording a historic first win over one of the top cricketing nations.
"Currently we sit 12th in the world in T20 and 13th in one-day cricket and our major aim is to break into that top 10 eventually," said the New Zealander.
"That might not seem a lot, but there are some powerful associate (non-Test playing) members competing for that honour as well.
"Don't forget that Scotland have never won a match at the World Cup before and we've never beaten a full member nation.
"Myself and my squad believe that that time is coming and we're just keeping our heads down and building our skills to a point where we know that, if we can get over the line against a full member nation, this side has every ability to break into that top 10 eventually.
"It is a real credit to the squad for embracing that and making the changes that we know we need to make."
Scotland's first target is to become the top associate nation and they will have to come through a group also containing Hong Kong, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan if they are to face the full member nations in the Second/Super 10 round in India.
"This side has made some huge strides since the World Cup down under in early 2015," said Bradburn.
"We are very confident in our white ball game. We love playing one-day cricket and we love T20 and we've got a very skilled T20 side.
"There's no reason why we can't go to that pre-qualifier to the World Cup very confident, but we're well aware we're up against some very good sides and that, in T20, anything can happen."
The Royal College of GPs said the pressure of more consultations, complex cases and increased bureaucracy was causing fatigue and burnout.
The RCGP said such difficulties would not be allowed to happen with pilots or train drivers.
It also called for a new system of distress signals so practices under extreme pressure could raise the alarm.
That would be similar to the red and black alerts hospitals use when they have surges of patients.
The alerts act as a warning to the rest of the system to relieve pressure where possible by taking on their patients or not referring new cases to them.
In extreme cases hospitals can even close their doors to new patients - although the RCGP is not suggesting this happens in general practice.
The college also said mandatory breaks should be introduced to minimise the risk of mistakes.
To make the case, the RCGP has produced a consultation paper highlighting the pressures GPs are under.
Consultations have risen by nearly a fifth in the past five years, to more than 360 million a year, far outstripping the rise in GP numbers that has been seen.
It means there are now fewer GPs per person than there were in 2009, with the RCGP saying another 3,300 GPs are needed.
While many of the figures in the report relate to England, the RCGP said it was a UK-wide problem.
Dr Maureen Baker, who chairs the RCGP, said the problem needed addressing urgently, with waiting times getting worse and GPs having to work 11- and 12-hour days, which increased the risk of mistakes, such as medication errors.
"Few of us would voluntarily board a plane flown by a visibly tired pilot or get on a train where we knew the driver had spent too much time at the controls - yet there are no methods or systems for addressing doctor and staff fatigue in general practice," she said.
"Our intention is not to panic patients but to send out a pre-emptive strike to ensure that we take steps now to protect patients from the risks arising from doctor and staff fatigue."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt set out plans last month to invest in general practice.
He promised extra investment, including the recruitment of 5,000 new GP and another 5,000 support staff, including practice nurses, during the Parliament.
The idea of creating financial incentives for those willing to work in the most deprived areas was also put forward.
But, crucially, he linked it to the profession embracing seven-day working, to the anger of the British Medical Association.
A spokesman from the Department of Health said: "GPs do a fantastic job and we know they are under pressure as our population ages and more people live with long-term conditions. That's why we have committed to make 10,000 more staff available for general practice."
Turnover at the Dromore-based group was up from £419m to £491m.
The company employs around 1,600 people and does the bulk of its work outside Northern Ireland, particularly in Scotland.
The directors said the performance was "robust" in what continued to be "a difficult market".
The firm said it had a "healthy" forward order book.
The shareholders shared a £1.45m dividend, up from £1.2m in 2014.
Most of the firm's turnover comes from its construction division, but the directors said they were "encouraged" by growth in the asset management division.
Projects completed by the firm in 2014 included a new campus building for Sheffield Hallam University and an aquatics centre in Aberdeen.
Graham has also recently completed a replacement bridge across the River Lagan in Belfast, linking Donegall Quay with Queen's Quay.
Hamm was competing in the Freeride World Tour event in Fieberbrunn when the accident occurred.
He suffered broken ribs, shoulder and arm, plus internal injuries, which resulted in extensive blood loss.
He had a second operation on Thursday and doctors are optimistic he will be able to make a good recovery.
Last month, Devon-born Hamm told BBC Sport about his near-death experience in 2008, when he was caught in an avalanche.

Muguruza, the 14th seed and a runner-up at SW19 in 2015, won an enthralling match 4-6 6-4 6-4 in two hours and 20 minutes on court two.
The German, a finalist in 2016, had needed to reach Saturday's final to have a chance of retaining her ranking.
Muguruza, 23, will play Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia in the last eight.
Big-hitting Muguruza was encouraged to go on the attack by her coach Conchita Martinez, the 1994 champion who is still the only Spanish woman to win Wimbledon.
The 14th seed's ferocious backhand began to misfire at a crucial time at the end of the first set but she continued her assault and was soon level.
Kerber's counter-punching style meant she was far steadier throughout but she eventually cracked at the end of a topsy-turvy deciding set.

The 29-year-old German lost in the final here last year, and was controversially overlooked for a slot on Centre Court or Court One, which featured four of the men's last-16 matches on Monday and only two of the women.
Kerber initially seemed unhappy with the condition of court two, kicking the patches of dust by the baseline after repeatedly losing her footing in the early stages of the match. She later said she had been "really surprised" the match had not been on one of the show courts.
She won two of the four Grand Slam tournaments in 2016 but has not reached the quarter-finals at any of the three she has played in 2017, and will be replaced as number one by Romania's Simona Halep, 25, [who plays Victoria Azarenka in the last 16], if she reaches the semi-finals.
If Halep does not reach the last four, 25-year-old Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic will move to top spot despite her second round exit at Wimbledon. | An Air France Airbus has clipped the tail of a commuter plane while taxiing at New York's John F Kennedy Airport.

Andy Haldane told BBC Newsnight that businesses had not invested enough to give the productivity improvements necessary to push up pay.
Low pay had contributed to low interest rates, which will remain relatively low for "a pretty long time", he added.
Earlier he told BBC Wales the Bank needed to look at raising rates.
"We've gone through, for most people, a pretty extraordinary, almost unprecedented period of real take home pay having flatlined for the better part of a decade, and that is well beyond anyone's historical experience.
"And understandably people are feeling frustrated and squeezed by that squeeze on their purchasing power in the shops," Mr Haldane said.
UK inflation rate at highest since 2013
Spending squeeze to worsen, warns Bank
Farewell to pay growth
He said productivity - how efficient workers and firms are - was also flatlining, and this was one of the biggest contributing causes to lack of pay growth.
Only between 1% and 5% of firms were "high-innovation" businesses who had embraced "the rise of the robot" and are "taking the productivity high road," he said.
"The root cause of the stagnation in productivity and pay is that long lower tail of firms. They're taking the low-productivity road."
Businesses need to benchmark themselves against other firms to see whether they are performing above average, he said.
Pay growth has been falling rather than rising over the past year, which has taken the Bank and the rest of the world "somewhat by surprise" given buoyant UK jobs growth and falling unemployment.
Nevertheless, lack of pay growth is "a factor that has contributed to rates in the UK remaining at their currently very low levels".
He said the Bank is "watching closely for any signs of pay picking up. That's one of the key indicators we look at when judging the stats."
Over the past 300 years, average interest rates has been about 5%, compared with the current record low interest rates of 0.25%.
Mr Haldane said: "Rates currently, and if you believe financial markets, prospectively, are set to remain pretty low for a pretty long time. I mean not just the lowest in the last 300 years, possibly the lowest in the last several thousand years, I would say."
He added that for people planning getting long-term loans such as mortgages, any future rate rises would be "gradual and to a limited extent".
"By which we mean the numbers that may have been in people's heads from the past are probably on the high side relative to what we might expect in the future. Let me not put a number on that. But limited and gradual is the name of the game."
Interest rates have been held at a record low since last year.
But at its last rate rise meetings, three of the eight members of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee surprisingly voted to raise interest rates, jolting financial markets.
Mr Haldane has also said he expects to vote for rate rise this year.

Grace Warnock was keen to highlight that easily accessible toilets were not just for wheelchair users.
So the Prestonpans youngster, who has the bowel disease Crohn's, designed a door sign indicating the needs of people not visibly disabled.
Labour MSP Iain Gray is now supporting Grace's Sign campaign and will praise it in the Holyrood chamber.
The politician will lead a members' debate titled "World Toilet Day, We Can't Wait".
Mr Gray, an East Lothian MSP, said: "The debate will enable me to put Grace's campaign on the agenda at Holyrood as well as highlight the work that still needs to be done globally to achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all."
He added that Grace had already made "considerable progress", including coming up with her own new design for door signs.
Peter Humphrey and his wife Yu Ying Zeng, an American national, are charged with illegally obtaining private information, Xinhua news agency said.
The pair were arrested in August 2013.
Mr Humphrey's company, ChinaWhys, was hired by GlaxoSmithKline China, which is embroiled in controversy over alleged systematic bribery of doctors.
Prosecutors say the couple "illegally trafficked a huge amount of personal information on Chinese citizens" for profit, Xinhua reported.
They obtained this information by "secret photography, infiltration or tailing after someone", it said.
"Based on the information, the couple compiled so-called 'reports' and sold them at high prices to their clients, most of which are China-based multinational corporations, including GSK China," it said.
Local courts "will hold [a] hearing about the case soon", the agency added.
•December 2012 - Vivian Shi Wen dismissed from GSK
•January 2013 - Email sent to GSK boss alleging bribery, with sex tape featuring China chief Mark Reilly attached
•April 2013 - Peter Humphrey hired to investigate
•July 2013 - Police detain four GSK employees
•Mr Humphrey and his wife arrested for allegedly buying and selling personal information - no link made with GSK case
•May 2014 - Chinese authorities accuse Mr Reilly of overseeing bribery network
•July 2014 - China says Peter Humphrey and wife will be tried in secret
In a statement earlier this month, GSK said that its China operation hired ChinaWhys in April 2013 "to conduct an investigation following a serious breach of privacy and security related to the company's China general manager".
This is understood to relate to a sex tape said to have shown the general manager, Mark Reilly, who said the footage was filmed without his knowledge or consent.
The video was sent to GSK's London-based CEO Andrew Witty with an email accusing Mr Reilly of being behind systematic corruption in the company's China operation.
GSK suspected a former senior staff member, Vivian Shi Wen, who was dismissed at the end of 2012, had sent the email. ChinaWhys was also asked to find out how the video had been filmed and who was behind it.
Ms Shi has previously denied being the GSK whistleblower. Attempts by the BBC to reach her have been unsuccessful.
Mr Reilly is currently being investigated by Chinese authorities, as are at least two other senior GSK China executives. He is alleged to have pressed his sales team to bribe doctors, hospital officials and health institutions to increase sales of GSK products.
He is currently effectively detained in China, and has made no recent comment.
GSK has described the allegations as "deeply concerning".
"We are learning lessons from this situation and we are determined to take all actions necessary as a result," it said in the statement.

There are now more than 120 separate families of ransomware, said experts studying the malicious software.
Other researchers have seen a 3,500% increase in the criminal use of net infrastructure that helps run ransomware campaigns.
The rise is driven by the money thieves make with ransomware and the increase in kits that help them snare victims.
Ransomware is malicious software that scrambles the data on a victim's PC and then asks for payment before restoring the data to its original state. The costs of unlocking data vary, with individuals typically paying a few hundred pounds and businesses a few thousand.
"Ransomware and crypto malware are rising at an alarming rate and show no signs of stopping," said Raj Samani, European technology head for Intel Security.
Ransomware samples seen by his company had risen by more than a quarter in the first three months of 2016, he added.
Mr Samani blamed the rise on the appearance of freely available source code for ransomware and the debut of online services that let amateurs cash in.
Ransomware was easy to use, low risk and offered a high reward, said Bart Parys, a security researcher who helps to maintain a list of the growing numbers of types of this kind of malware.
"The return on investment is very high," he said.
Mr Parys and his colleagues have now logged 124 separate variants of ransomware. Some virulent strains, such as Locky and Cryptolocker, were controlled by individual gangs, he said, but others were being used by people buying the service from an underground market.
"It's safe to say that certain groups are behind several ransomware programs, but not all," he said. "Especially now with Eda and HiddenTear copy and paste ransomware, there are many new, and often unexperienced, cybercriminals."
A separate indicator of the growth of ransomware came from the amount of net infrastructure that gangs behind the malware had been seen using.
The numbers of web domains used to host the information and payment systems had grown 35-fold, said Infoblox in its annual report which monitors these chunks of the net's infrastructure.
"They use it and customise it for each attack, " said Rod Rasmussen, vice-president of security at Infoblox.
"They will have their own command and control infrastructure and they might use it to generate domains for a campaign," he told the BBC. "Then they'll have some kind of payment area that victims can go to."
"The different parts are tied to particular parts of the chain," he said. "Infection, exploitation and ransom."
The spread of ransomware was also being aided by tricks cyber-thieves used to avoid being detected by security software, said Tomer Weingarten, founder of security company SentinelOne.
"Traditional anti-virus software is not effective in dealing with these types of attacks," he said.
The gangs behind the most prevalent ransomware campaigns had got very good at hiding their malicious code, said Mr Weingarten.
"Where we see the innovation is in the infection vector," he said.
SentinelOne had seen gangs using both well-known techniques and novel technical tricks to catch out victims.
A lot of ransomware reached victims via spear-phishing campaigns or booby-trapped adverts, he said, but other gangs used specialised "crypters" and "packers" that made files look benign.
Others relied on inserting malware into working memory so it never reached the parts of a computer on which most security software keeps an eye.
"It's been pretty insane with ransomware recently," he said.
Marshman, 27, will face Canada's Ryan Janes in what will be the Abertillery fighter's third bout in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
"I'm very confident with this fight," Marshman told BBC Wales Sport.
"I feel I'm going to be a far superior fighter and I can't see myself being troubled by this opponent."
Marshman made a winning start to life in the Ultimate Fighting Championship when he beat Sweden's Magnus Cedenblad at UFC Fight Night Belfast in November.
But at his next fight against Brazilian Thiago Santos in Canada in February, the Welshman was knocked down in the second round by a spinning wheel kick.
His opponent at the in Glasgow has also fought twice in the UFC and will be the least experienced opponent Marshman has faced so far.
"I had a tough start (in the UFC) but went in and proved that I belong here," Marshman continued.
"But I think the UFC are probably thinking 'let's maybe step him back a bit and give him two fights like this', against evenly matched guys.
"Then if I come through them, I think they'll start bouncing me back towards that top 15 (ranking)."
It happened on the Lisburn Road close to Wellesley Avenue at about 22:00 BST on Saturday.
Police believe the silver coloured car involved may have significant frontal damage. It drove up the Lisburn Road and may then have turned left in the direction of the Malone Road.
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
Images of the figures were published online by the website Gawker.
They show operating losses of more than $100m (£65m) in the second quarter of 2014, albeit coupled with steady growth in revenue.
In a statement, the company hit back at reports but did not deny them."Shock, horror, Uber makes a loss," it said.
"This is hardly news, and old news at that," it added. "It's a case of business 101: you raise money, you invest money, you grow (hopefully), you make a profit and that generates a return for investors."
The company was recently valued at $50bn and is the most-funded start-up in the world.
There has long been speculation over the health of Uber's profit to loss ratio, a subject on which the company has never officially detailed the sums.
One positive note to emerge was the fact that the company increased its cash holdings from $263m in 2013 to over $1bn the following year.
Uber has faced a string of difficulties this summer, including the arrest of two managers in France over allegations that the service was "illegal" there, and the imposition of a $7.3m fine in California after the company failed to provide detailed information about itself to regulators.
The car-sharing app has also been banned in a number of cities and countries around the world, including Spain, Thailand, several Indian cities and faces partial bans in Germany and the Netherlands.
An arms depot used by the Houthi rebel movement in the city's north-east was targeted for a second day, sending a column of smoke into the sky.
The coalition also bombed rebel positions in the southern city of Aden.
The proposed truce to allow deliveries of desperately needed humanitarian aid started at 23:00 (20:00 GMT).
However, Saudi Arabia has said its offer of a pause in air strikes is conditional on the Houthis reciprocating and not exploiting the ceasefire for military advantage.
The Houthis have agreed to the truce, but said they will "respond" to any violations.
On Tuesday, coalition aircraft bombed the arms depot at a military base on Mount Noqum in the east of Sanaa for the second consecutive day, witnesses said.
Explosions caused by two strikes on the depot on Monday sent debris crashing down the mountainside onto a residential area. At least 69 people were killed and more than 100 injured, medical officials said.
The coalition also bombed Houthi positions in Aden, and local militiamen allied to Yemen's exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi continued to fight the rebels in the port city and elsewhere in the country's south, Reuters news agency said.
The UN says at least 828 civilians have been killed and 1,511 injured since the start of the coalition air campaign on 26 March to restore Mr Hadi.
The six days from 4 to 10 May have been the deadliest, with at least 182 civilians reported killed, almost half of them women and children. A significant proportion of the casualties were caused by air strikes, especially in the Houthis' northern heartland of Saada province.
Analysts say the coalition appears to be trying to inflict as much damage as possible on the Houthis and allied security personnel loyal to the ousted former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, before the humanitarian ceasefire is scheduled to begin on Tuesday evening.
The new UN envoy for Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, has arrived in Sanaa, where he hopes to meet various parties, including the Houthis.
On Monday, the UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos called on all sides in the conflict to "stop the fighting and bombing and give the people of Yemen respite".
"Given the deteriorating humanitarian situation on the ground in Yemen with hundreds of thousands of vulnerable civilians trapped in the middle of fighting and unable to access lifesaving aid it is essential that this pause materialise," a statement said.
Baroness Amos said two World Food Programme cargo ships arrived in the Red Sea port of Hudaydah over the weekend with fuel, food, water and nutritional supplies. Other supplies were ready to be brought in and planes were standing by to help evacuate the wounded, she added.
Meanwhile, an Iranian naval official said Iran would escort a cargo ship carrying humanitarian supplies to Houthi-held Hudaydah. Iran has rejected Saudi and US accusations that it is arming the Shia Houthis.
In a separate development on Tuesday, a jihadist website reported that four members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had been killed in a suspected US drone strike on Monday in the eastern Yemeni port of Mukalla.
By the time he first appeared in the role he had already carved out a distinguished career in the theatre and on television.
His role as the flat-capped philosopher made him the longest-serving cast member of the much-loved series.
And he reached an even wider audience as the voice of Wallace, the cheese-loving character in the animated series, Wallace and Gromit.
Peter Sallis was born on 1 February 1921 in Twickenham, Middlesex.
After attending Minchenden Grammar School in Southgate, north London, where the family had moved, he emulated his father and went to work in a bank.
The acting bug first struck during his wartime service in the RAF, when he was asked to play the lead role in an amateur production of Noel Coward's play Hay Fever.
"Acting is a matter of instinct," he later said when appearing on Desert Island Discs. "As soon as I was on the stage I just felt so at home."
When hostilities ceased he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada).
His first professional appearance came in 1946 and for the next six decades he was rarely out of work.
Throughout the 1950s he made a name for himself as a reliable character actor playing everything from Shakespeare to Chekhov.
His first play with a star cast was a production of Three Sisters, where he appeared alongside Ralph Richardson and Celia Johnson.
He had film roles in Anastasia, The VIPs and Wuthering Heights, but it was for his television work that he was better known.
He had already acted in two TV plays by writer Roy Clarke, in one playing a transvestite, before landing the role of Clegg in a Comedy Playhouse episode entitled Of Funerals and Fish.
This was successful enough for the BBC to commission a series with the revised title Last of the Summer Wine.
Surprisingly, given its later success, the first series was not well received by either audiences or critics.
Sallis recalled that filming of the early episodes was enlivened by off-screen arguments between his fellow actors Michael Bates and Bill Owen.
"Michael Bates was somewhere to the right of Margaret Thatcher," he said. "And Bill Owen was somewhere to the left of Lenin. It was all incomprehensible to me as I'd never had a political thought in my life."
The series sparked an appreciation society and a deluge of tourists to the Yorkshire village where it was filmed.
Sallis said, "You would not find me getting up to anything crazy that Clegg gets up to, but I have been very lucky to be a part of it all."
As well as Summer Wine, Sallis appeared in the Pallisers and The Diary of Samuel Pepys. In addition, he wrote a stage play, End of Term, and also a handful of radio plays.
Despite calling himself "only mildly well-known", after 30 years of playing Clegg, Sallis's face was one of the most familiar on British television.
And in 1992 his voice became recognisable across the world, when his distinctive tones graced the character of Wallace in Nick Park's celebrated animation films.
As one half of Wallace and Gromit, he appeared in such modern classics as The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave.
Asked for the inspiration behind Wallace, Nick Park called Sallis his automatic choice and explained how the actor had even helped influence the character's face.
He said: "There was something about his voice that somehow insisted I make Wallace's mouth really wide to get it around the syllables."
Peter Sallis considered himself very fortunate to be in the hands of talented scriptwriters.
But his own gentle manner and natural timing certainly helped create comic characters of enduring and wide-ranging appeal.
It was with the mild-mannered Clegg that he felt most at home.
"I am like him in many ways. I am fairly retiring and do not like to be the centre of attention. I think I'm well cast."

Mariusz Winiarski, 35, attacked Brian Stirling in King Street, Bathgate, on 17 December last year.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Mr Stirling (54) had been holding the woman's handbag before Winiarski attacked him.
Lord Burns, deferred sentence until May and remanded Winiarski in custody.
Defence counsel John Scullion said Winiarski, who had been drinking, saw the victim looking into the handbag.
He said: "His initial reaction was the deceased was stealing from her. He accepts the conclusion he reached was entirely wrong and he accepts his reason in punching Mr Stirling cannot be justified."
He added: "He accepts full responsibility for the tragic consequences of his actions."
Winiarski was originally charged with murdering Mr Stirling, but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of culpable homicide.
He admitted assaulting and killing Mr Stirling, formerly from Bathgate, by punching him on the head, causing him to fall to the ground where the victim struck his head. Mr Stirling later died of his injuries.
The Polish national, who worked as a driver, also admitted assaulting Mr Stirling's friend Robert Parker by punching him on the head outside Dreadnought nightclub in Bathgate.
Advocate depute Lynsey MacDonald said Winiarski did not know either of the men that he attacked.
The defence counsel said that although it was a case in which a prison term was "almost inevitable" a background report would be required on the first offender before sentencing.
A conversation with a prison inmate about football led James Almond to break the law himself.
The then prison worker was chatting about his favourite team Manchester United, when the prisoner he was speaking to suddenly asked him to bring in mobile phones, which are banned behind bars.
"He kept asking daily, and become aggressive with things he'd say," Almond says.
This was in 2014 when he was employed at Stocken Prison in Rutland.
The 33-year-old eventually agreed to bring phones in, and did so for a number of weeks before being caught, ending up in jail himself.
He's now telling his story so others can understand the pressure he came under from the prisoner and how unprepared he was for dealing with it.
His case highlights the problem of staff corruption in prisons in England and Wales, a problem some believe is being swept under the carpet.
While there's broad agreement that the vast majority of prison staff conduct themselves with integrity and professionalism, a small number act corruptly - and their actions can have a disproportionate effect on stability and safety.
One well-informed source with extensive knowledge of the prison system told BBC Radio 4's File on 4 there was a working assumption that between three and five staff in every jail were corrupt, which equates to around 600 across England and Wales.
Out of some 33,000 prison officers and staff that's still a minority, but a not insignificant one.
Mobile phones in prisons: Why are they still there?
What is going wrong with the prison system?
James Almond never expected to be in that minority when he started working at HMP Stocken, which holds around 670 male offenders, many serving sentences for violence.
But his job as an operational support grade worker escorting building contractors in the prison developed. Before long he was out of his depth - having daily contact with prisoners, a role for which he claims he'd had no training.
"I did feel fairly vulnerable in the role, especially because at the time I was suffering heavily with depression after my father passed away.
"And that is the kind of thing these prisoners pick up on quite easily," he says.
One particularly manipulative inmate, with whom Almond had begun discussing football, took advantage - threatening to harm his young relatives if he didn't comply.
"He really scared me with those threats, especially when he said 'I know about your niece and nephew'.
"This gentleman was in prison for armed robbery. I didn't know what he was capable of."
The demands and threats wore Almond down and eventually he agreed to bring in a phone.
Mobiles are a valuable commodity, because they enable prisoners to keep in touch with their family and contact criminals on the outside - and calls are not monitored like the prison pay phones are.
Almond took part in four smuggling missions, collecting a package in a carrier bag from a stranger in a car park, slipping the parcel into his gym bag, then walking through the gates at Stocken.
"I was trying to just play it nice and cool," he says.
He says he never looked inside the packages, but it's thought they may also have contained drugs such as the potent synthetic cannabis substitute, Spice.
"It was a calculated risk that wasn't the day they decided... to do a staff search," he says, claiming he was never searched during his six months working there.
He received £500 for each parcel, double his weekly take-home pay, and acknowledges that as well as acting out of fear of the prisoner, the money was also "an incentive".
John Podmore, who spent 25 years in the prison service - including a stint as head of the anti-corruption unit - believes low pay and a lack of adequate training are two key factors driving staff to bring in contraband.
He says corruption is an "inconvenient truth" which has far more of an impact than the well-publicised problem of drones, which deliver packages to prison cell windows or drop them inside perimeter walls.
"One prison officer bringing in one coffee jar full of Spice or cannabis can keep that jail going for a very long period of time and make an awful lot of money," he says.
"There is a disproportionate effect by this small minority of staff and that's what needs to be understood."

Officer at Maghaberry Prison injured in attack
A number of former prisoners I spoke to agreed that while drugs and phones are thrown over walls, brought in by visitors or sent through the post, corruption is a major source as well.
One man knew of a prison officer who brought in drugs in empty tubs of Pringles crisps. Another former inmate said staff had taken parcels directly from the post room to a prisoner without them being scanned.
And several ex-prisoners said some officers turned a "blind eye" to drug-dealing and drug-taking.
"If you're doing a very, very long time and you're not going nowhere, it would be prudent to just leave you alone, and that's the kind of stance they took for a long while," says Leroy Smith.
He spent the best part of two decades in prison for the attempted murder of two policemen in 1994.
"The doors would be left open and everything was relaxed and people would just do whatever they wished within reason inside the jail."
Smith, who was eventually released in 2014 and has now written a book about his experiences, says corrupt staff didn't bring in drugs often, but when they did it had a profound effect.
"In five years you might have three times when it happens, but when it happens it's big because the whole place is saturated because it is just continuous - everyday they are just bringing it and bringing it and bringing it," he says.
The Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for prisons in England and Wales, says it remains "vigilant" to the threat posed by corruption and takes "swift action" against those involved.
The department is investing £3m in a new intelligence unit, developing a corruption strategy and considering introducing a prison-specific offence of corruption.
Jerry Petherick, one of the country's most experienced prison managers who worked in the public sector for 23 years before joining the private company G4S more than a decade ago, says they do their "damnedest" to catch corrupt staff.
He once sparked an investigation after spotting an expensive car parked outside a prison - it belonged to a member of staff, who turned out to be corrupt.
"It may seem strange for me to say that we actually celebrate those successes," says Mr Petherick, who believes the publicity acts as a deterrent.
"The vast majority of staff do not want to be associated with, do not want to work alongside corrupt members of staff because it puts their safety at risk," he says.
Almond accepts that his actions could have put staff at Stocken Prison at risk.
He was given a 12-month jail sentence for bringing in the phones. After being released early, probation staff helped him find a new job, in a factory.
Almond says the Prison Service should improve training for staff so they're better able to handle manipulative prisoners, but accepts he must take most of the blame for what he did, and it could have been much worse.
"It did occur to me that this was enabling the prisoner... to carry on with their, maybe, drug enterprises on the outside, getting drugs into the prison, and being able to organise a riot or things like that," says Almond.
"It could have resulted in injuries to a lot of staff."

Their findings, published in Nature Geoscience, show how climate change can cause surprising geological events.
The Slims River once flowed out to the Bering Sea, but now it flows into the Kaskawulsh River instead.
This phenomenon, known as "river piracy", typically takes centuries but the study documented it over the course of one spring.
"Nobody's ever seen a river piracy occur in modern times, at least to my knowledge," lead author Dan Shugar told the BBC.
The geoscientist at the University of Washington Tacoma says he and six researchers from Canadian and American universities had planned to study the Slims River last summer.
But when they arrived in the Yukon it was barely flowing. They discovered that a small channel had eroded in a large glacier that fed a number of small lakes.
The glacial lakes used to feed two river systems - the Slims River and the Kaskawulsh River - but when water from one lake poured through the channel into another, it cut the Slims off from its water source.
The event is known as river piracy or stream capture, and can take thousands of years. But the researchers documented the piracy of the Slims River in just one spring.
Prof Shugar said his colleague, John Clague, at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, had predicted this event just a decade before because of the area's unique geological formation. But no one knew when or how quickly the stream capture would occur.
River gauges show an abrupt four-day drop in late May 2016, which then continued over the summer, the study found.
By the time Prof Shugar and his associates got there, the Slims was basically "a long, skinny lake".
"The Slims River was essentially cut off from how it was flowing before," he said.
The change in the river's flow affected the whole landscape. Sheep are now grazing on the exposed river bank, while other rivers in the area are running high. Fish population, wildlife and lake chemistry will continue to be affected, the study noted.
In the big picture, Prof Shugar said, the piracy of the Slims is a reminder that climate change "may bring surprises that we are not appreciating fully and that we're not necessarily prepared for".
Instead of the normal teeth grinding and forking out the extortionate cost of a paper ticket, she informed me nonchalantly that she'd use her bank card.
Now I am (allegedly) meant to know about these things but I admit that it had never occurred to me at that moment that a contactless card could save us a few quid.
That was it. Tap in tap out. No bother, extremely convenient and something that makes the Oyster card and cash completely redundant.
Of course, phasing out Oyster cards and cash is not Transport for London's (TfL) plan (yet) but the latest figures show contactless payments on transport are increasing.
Currently one million contactless taps are made each day on London's transport network which TfL claims makes it the fastest growing contactless merchant in Europe after just six months.
Oyster has been a huge success story for London but the system costs TfL millions a year to administer, while the contactless payment system is run by the banks.
In fact, it is actually more beneficial to use contactless than Oyster.
If you are a commuter there is a weekly cap with payments subject to daily capping - when travellers taking multiple journeys will not pay more than the cost of a Day Travelcard - or there's a Monday-to-Sunday cap with the best value over the course of the week.
Labour on the London Assembly believes that contravenes promises that Oyster would always be the cheapest fare.
Val Shawcross said: "What contactless shouldn't become is a stealth attempt to push people away from Oyster cards by reserving the best fares for contactless."
TfL has said it is looking at an automatic weekly cap for Oyster but the technology is not as advanced as that on contactless cards.
What is also interesting is how these payments on transport seem to be driving the rest of the market.
Scott Abrahams from MasterCard said: "This milestone for TfL shows just how quickly consumers have taken to contactless in London.
"This extraordinary take-up is having a halo effect on other businesses in the UK who accept contactless payments."
With new innovations there are glitches - contactless cards and Oyster cards in the same wallet or purse can cause 'card clash' when the system recognises an entry or exit on different cards and can result in charging you the maximum fare.
TfL said: "In November there were 1,564 instances each weekday where customers may have accidentally paid with a contactless payment card they did not intend to pay with, our most recent figures from the end of February show at 1,235 per day, showing a steady decline."
County led for a minute before conceding twice in four minutes to lose 2-1 and extend their winless streak to six matches in the league.
The Rams are in the bottom three, one point above bottom side Wigan, with just one league win all season.
"In the first half we looked as though we were paralysed with fear," Pearson told BBC Radio Derby.
"We have a group which undoubtedly at the moment are not living up to the expectations externally, certainly not living up to the expectations internally and that's my responsibility because I'm the manager," added former Leicester City manager Pearson, who took over at the iPro Stadium in the summer.
"If we don't get the basics out there and we don't get the level of commitment to the game out there, it remains a very tough ask of us to get the performances which warrant points.
"Given what happened, we are exactly where we should be in the league. We got what we deserved and that's the bottom line."
Pearson continued: "I can't keep hoping that players are going to bring their best games to the table week in week out, and then not do it, so I might have to start making changes.
"If that means introducing some of the younger players then so be it, but ultimately it's about getting a team on the field that want to play for us, want to show the levels of commitment and are prepared to go whatever distance it takes to get the result."
Former Leeds United captain Sol Bamba has been training with Derby.
The 31-year-old Ivorian is a free agent after leaving Leeds for personal reasons before the closure of the transfer window in August.
Bamba played for Pearson when the pair were at Leicester City, but the Rams boss says there has yet to be any talks over a possible contract.
"I don't think it's something to discuss openly when it's not been discussed internally," he said.
"I've worked with him before and he's been happy to come in and train with us, so we'll leave it at that."

Britain's Tyson Fury is considered the WBA's heavyweight 'super' champion as he also holds the WBO version.
In Birmingham, London's Bradley Skeete won a unanimous points decision to take the British & Commonwealth welterweight title from Sam Eggington.
A passenger who uploaded video of the aftermath of the incident said a mother had been struck with the pram as it was forcibly removed by the employee.
The video shows the employee saying, "Hit me! Come on, bring it on!", when challenged by another male passenger.
American Airlines said it was "deeply sorry for the pain we have caused" the woman passenger and her family.
The incident follows another high-profile clash on a United Airlines plane two weeks ago, when a passenger was violently removed from an overbooked flight.
The American Airlines incident took place at San Francisco International Airport as flight 591 prepared to take off for Dallas/Fort Worth.
Passenger Surain Adyanthaya, who posted the video to Facebook, said that preceding the footage the employee had "violently" taken the pram from the mother, hitting her and narrowly missing her baby.
The footage shows the mother clearly distraught as other employees and passengers try to intervene.
One male passenger demands the name of the employee involved and when a man dressed in American Airlines uniform enters the plane, the passenger tells him: "Hey, bud, you do that to me and I'll knock you flat."
The employee confronts the passenger, telling him to "stay out of this", then saying: "Hit me! Come on, bring it on."
He adds: "You don't even know what the story is."
The passenger replies: "I don't care what the story is. You almost hurt a baby."
In its statement, American Airlines said: "What we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our customers. We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident."
It said it was "making sure all of her family's needs are being met while she is in our care".
The airline upgraded the woman and her family to first class when she took another flight to Dallas.
"The actions of our team member captured here do not appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care. In short, we are disappointed by these actions," the airline said.
A statement from the Association of Professional Flight Attendants stressed that all passengers deserve to be treated with respect, but warned against rushing to judgement before the full facts were known.
The UN Budget Committee recognised gay spouses, regardless of whether or not gay marriage is legal in their country of origin.
Previously, the UN followed national legislation on the issue.
The vote went 80 to 43 against Russia's resolution, which had backing from China, India and Muslim countries.
EU member states and the US lobbied hard against the resolution and for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's plan to include gay couples in the staff benefits scheme.
Speaking after the vote, US Ambassador Samantha Power said: "We must speak plainly about what Russia tried to do today: diminish the authority of the UN secretary general and export to the UN its domestic hostility to LGBT rights" - referring to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Earlier, Russia's deputy UN ambassador Petr Iliichev said the UN should return to how the issue was previously regulated, calling it "an example of how the United Nations respects cultural differences, the sovereign right of each and every state to determine its norms".
Russia drew international criticism in 2013 when it banned the spreading of gay "propaganda" among teenagers.
Conservative national traditions are already recognised under UN staff rules, as UN diplomats from countries where polygamy is legal receive spouse benefits for up to four wives.
The scheme works by exploiting the government's Employment Allowance.
The scam could deprive the Treasury of tens of millions of pounds of National Insurance payments.
Anderson Group says that all of its services are fully compliant with UK tax laws.
It says it is "totally incorrect" to say that Anderson Group is promoting the scheme and says it is a product being offered by one of its clients.
Anderson Group, which calls itself the UK's "leading provider of support services to the recruitment industry" has hundreds of agencies and thousands of contractors on its books.
The tax avoidance scheme works by exploiting the government's Employment Allowance which was introduced last year.
The allowance enables companies to claim £2,000 off their annual employers' National Insurance bill and was meant to encourage small businesses to take on more workers.
The BBC secretly recorded Anderson Group's sales manager, Ian Moran, promoting the tax avoidance scheme to a recruitment agency.
The agency he was pitching to employs 300 workers, many of whom work in low paid jobs in warehouses or as labourers.
Mr Moran suggested that if the recruitment agency were to set up more than 100 limited companies with a couple of workers in each of them, each company could then claim the £2,000 allowance.
By Mr Moran's calculations the agency's National Insurance bill would then fall from £300,000 a year to zero.
Mr Moran suggested the recruitment agency, which has no intention of using the scheme, might like to spend the £300,000 on Bentleys and ski chalets.
The ''job's a good'un,'' he said.
Mr Moran told the recruitment agency that 10,000 workers were now being employed through these companies, and the goal was to increase that to 20,000.
If National Insurance was avoided on every worker, HMRC could lose £20m in National Insurance contributions.
At the meeting, Mr Moran admitted that the Employment Allowance was being misused: ''It wasn't intended to be used exactly like this,'' he said.
''Let's be straight, but they set the rules, we'll build a product."
Robin Williamson, head of the low incomes tax reform group at the Chartered Institute of Taxation, has called the scheme "highly aggressive" and "abusive".
He says it drives a coach and horse through the legislation: ''To use the colloquial - they are having a laugh."
The Employment Allowance legislation makes it clear that artificially created companies cannot claim the allowance.
The BBC found on the Companies House website more than two thousand limited companies created by those behind the tax avoidance scheme.
"Schemes like this don't work and anyone thinking of using it should think again," Jennie Granger, head of compliance at HMRC told the BBC.
"Failing to disclose an attempted avoidance scheme is punishable by a fine of up to £1m," she added.
HMRC has promised to "pursue users and promoters" of the scheme.
Tax expert and financial reform campaigner Richard Murphy thinks the scheme's promoters are banking on the idea that by the time HMRC catch up with them, there'll be no money to recover.
'"What they'll say is: well, there's no money in any of these companies, they're all empty shells, therefore, you can sue us, you can put us in to liquidation, but they'll be nothing for you to have,'' he said.
Mr Murphy believes it's time to consider whether there should be a penalty on the directors of limited companies set up for the purposes of abusing the tax system.
None of the tax experts the BBC spoke to were surprised that this scheme was operating within the recruitment industry.
For years this sector has been dogged by allegations of tax avoidance and exploitation of low paid workers. The Treasury is consulting on ways to clean up the sector's shady practices.
Speaking on the Today programme about the UK tax industry, former chair of the Public Accounts Committee Margaret Hodge said: "There are hundreds of people advising on how you could exploit the system, some of them used to worked for the government, and we need to crack down on those advisors.
"We have a ridiculously complex tax scheme with over 1,100 tax relief schemes. I think we should simplify the system.
"In 2010 the government said they'd simplify the tax system, but we ended up with 100 more tax relief schemes than we went in with."
She added that it was worth investing in HMRC because every pound invested in it brought in about £9 in recovered tax.
The 26-year-old Scot missed out on a medal by 1.5 seconds after working his way through the elite field in Lahti, Finland.
The race was won by Canadian Alex Harvey in 1:46:28.9.
Russia's Sergey Ustiugov took silver, with Finland's Matti Heikkinen third.
He said: "I am pretty happy, it was a good race, but at the same time I am a little bit disappointed that I didn't have a stronger finish and get onto the podium.
"I have got stronger in every race I have done and I have never done so well in a 50km so it is awesome.
"I have a lot of confidence going into the next World Cup and hopefully I can pull out a few more good races."
It was a tremendous performance by Musgrave, whose previous best result was sixth in a World Cup 15km.
Elsewhere at the 2017 World Championships, he finished 12th in the 15km Classic and 11th in the 30km skiathlon.
No politician wants to look as though they are overly interested in how they dress.
"You'll see I wear only grey or blue suits," President Barack Obama once said.
"I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make."
And few voters would want to admit that politicians' clothes have much of an influence over how we vote.
The problem is, experts tell us, that with the clothes we wear we are constantly giving off and receiving signals - whether we are conscious of it or not.
'Speed, modernity'
Theresa May, a self-proclaimed lover of fashion, has had a long while to hone her choices while in the public eye - and to understand what messages she is conveying.
Her clothes have been a subject of hot debate for at least 15 years, when she caused a furore by wearing a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to deliver a Conservative Party conference speech.
On the campaign trail, notes Dr Vanessa Brown, senior lecturer in design, culture and context at Nottingham Trent University, Mrs May tends towards, to coin a phrase, a "strong and stable" wardrobe.
It does not follow fashion too frivolously and suggests a woman who is in control and making rational choices - yet with a flash of "trying to connect through fashion".
She sometimes wears diagonal lines, which can denote "speed, modernity, looking forward" and is a fan of quite structured tailoring, allowing for some movement when interacting with the public and pounding the streets.
It's a style that's easier to wear than body-skimming clothing, without looking "fussy" or "soft".
What about the famous shoes? Will we be seeing some flamboyance there?
Possibly, says Dr Brown, though noting that Mrs May's famous flashes of fun in her wardrobe are only "allowing that level of frivolity as far from her head as she could make it".
Jeremy Corbyn has also come under scrutiny for years over what he wears - although for slightly different reasons.
Way back in 1984 he was being given a dressing down on BBC television for "scruffy dress" - which he responded to while wearing a jumper knitted by his mother and criticising Tory MPs for voting in "dinner jackets".
Despite having so far worn thoroughly respectable suits while campaigning, the "scruffy" tag continues to haunt him.
One voter told a Daily Politics vox pop in Derby this month that Mr Corbyn looked like he'd "come out the back garden", comparing him unfavourably with David Cameron, who was "smart".
"I'm not saying I wouldn't vote Labour, but that has a big influence," said the voter.
On the other hand, Mr Corbyn's clothes seem to appeal to parts of the electorate. Pop culture site Konbini recently ran a piece on how to look like him, with tributes to his oversized blazers, Breton caps and "bicycle chic".
For politicians, you can't appeal to every single voter - so perhaps the important thing is to be "authentic". If you look like your natural self, Dr Brown says, people will find you more likeable, and in turn more believable.
Mr Corbyn, she said, could perhaps "sharpen it up" a bit to make his look "a little more intentional" - and Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, who is similarly normally seen in a suit, with or without a tie - could also "get away with a bit more".
Mr Farron looks "exactly what he is", she notes, so presumably would score highly on any authenticity index - but could perhaps play up any subversive side if he wanted to be more noticeable.
He is reported to wear Dr Martens every day, with the Mirror at one point saying they "almost suggest this man has flair, personality... hobbies".
Mr Farron could perhaps, if that was the way he wanted to go, play up his reported musical roots.
He told the Huffington Post in 2015 that in the late 1980s he had fronted a band "written off as a fourth-rate New Order" , and told Total Politics that he was "once nearly a pop star" - explaining that his band got offered a recording session with Island Records, but didn't do it.
On the campaign trail he has so far not caused a particular stir, sartorially - although he did get his pictures in a lot of media outlets when he boarded a hovercraft in Burnham-on-Sea, clad in a lot of safety gear.
Politicians on the campaign trail do try to signal connectedness with voters by dressing according to their surroundings - for instance by dressing down if they are visiting a refuge or charity centre.
Or think David Cameron wearing casualwear while playing with a lamb during a campaign visit in his Witney constituency in 2015.
But go too far, it seems, and you will lose that sense of your authentic self - politicians still wince at William Hague's baseball cap, and that was from way back in 1997.
The scrutiny
But what about the formal events - the podiums and set-piece interviews?
What is often overlooked is how clothes make you feel, Dr Brown says.
Suits, with their structured tailoring, provide an impermeable smooth "outer casing" - a harder surface which can make you feel stronger and more in control.
That's why tailoring and monochrome colours are so popular - they not only don't look like you're fussing - they literally make you feel more invulnerable.
Although men are also increasingly under scrutiny for how they look, it is still women's clothes that are really picked on and pored over.
An enormous amount has been written about SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's clothes in the last couple of years - the Daily Mail's recent "Legs-it!" front page, comparing the legs of the prime minister and Scottish first minister while they were meeting to discuss Brexit and a second Scottish referendum, being a case in point.
Ms Sturgeon - who, like Theresa May, has appeared in Vogue and does say she is interested in fashion - has said she is conflicted by the scrutiny she comes under and that there is too much focus on what women wear.
"I do have a concern that for women, if women politicians - prime ministers, first ministers, are always reduced to how they look, and what they wear, and their legs, then we're saying something that we probably shouldn't be saying about the status of women," she recently told BBC Breakfast.
"So I think that focus on appearance is probably something we should try to move away from."
Perhaps that scrutiny partly influences her and other women politicians' fondness for single-colour suits and tailored dresses.
Minimalism, says Dr Brown, tends to appeal to politicians. All the scrutiny can lead to quite similar wardrobes of plain styles - because the more you experiment, "the more potential mistakes, more for people to talk about".
"So a shift dress is where you end up".
'He's wearing clothes'
It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for politicians - having to convey, through their outfits, all these messages about control, intelligence, entitlement to power, authenticity - while still trying to make people want to vote for them.
And you can't really say it doesn't matter because, as Dr Brown says, often for politicians a few words and their appearance are more significant than the depth of what they might say.
Most of us don't engage very deeply in the detail of political offerings - "so what else are people going on?"
But of course, not everybody goes in for the idea that clothes are a set of signifiers, sending off complex unconscious messages.
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall, for instance, has been notable for wearing a lot of tweed - a hint, perhaps, of Britishness and a traditional lifestyle - although so far on this campaign trail he has mainly been photographed in a dark blue suit and tie.
Is there a particular message he is trying to convey through his clothes, BBC News asked?
"No," said UKIP head of press Gawain Towler.
"He's wearing clothes, because some suit the outside and some suit the inside, just like you and I would wear clothes."
Melanie Hartshorn, from Cramlington, has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which causes her skull to sink into her spine.
After almost £160,000 was raised for two operations, the 27-year-old is now able to sit up for about an hour a day.
She said the success of the procedures would now enable her to pursue a career as a teacher.
Surgeons in Barcelona operated for nine hours to fuse her skull to her spine last month.
Ms Hartshorn said: "It has just been incredible. I never thought I would be able to sit up. It was something I was never able to plan for.
"I had to have two operations. The first one was to put screws all the way down from my skull, right down my neck to keep all the bones in line and stop them from compressing my brain stem.
"The second operation to basically do that all down my back to my pelvis."
Ms Hartshorn said she was limited to about one hour a day in her wheelchair, but is hopeful that will increase with physiotherapy.
She added: "I really want to do teaching, go back to university and get my primary teaching qualifications.
"But the first thing is physio rehab, build up my sitting time and get an electric wheelchair.
"That will mean I can go out on my own and access the world again."
She also thanked those who had contributed to her fundraising campaign and who had "changed her life" for good.
One of African football's best-known figures, the ex-Super Eagles captain is one of only two men to win the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and a coach.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick: "This is devastating. We have lost a superhero."
Keshi, who is reported to have suffered a heart attack by local media. also managed Togo and Mali, while his playing career included a spell with Belgian club side Anderlecht.
Sunday Oliseh, a former team-mate and Keshi's successor as Nigeria coach, tweeted his shock at the "horrible news" and called Keshi "an iconic hero".
Keshi skippered the Nigeria team that won the Nations Cup in 1994 before narrowly missing out on a World Cup quarter-final place the same year.
He coached the Super Eagles on three occasions, leading them to the 2013 Nations Cup title in South Africa and the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup.
His contract was not renewed after the Brazil tournament but he returned on a match-by-match deal following the team's failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup finals.
He was then sacked as caretaker coach but reinstated after intervention from then Nigeria president Goodluck Jonathan.
Keshi, who lost his wife to cancer late last year, was then sacked for a final time last July.

Dr McDaid has resigned his position on the grounds of ill health.
He has been a priest since 1968 and a bishop since 2010.
In a statement the Bishop of Down and Connor Noel Treanor said Dr McDaid "has served and supported his priests and all those entrusted to his care with a remarkable capacity for empathy and with a Christian heart".
"I wish Bishop Liam every happiness in his retirement and look forward to our continued friendship in the years ahead," he added.
According to a World Health Organization study, in Africa almost 97% of abortions are unsafe, putting women's health at risk.
It said developing countries, particularly those with more restrictive abortion laws, had the most cases of unsafe abortions.
Ms Ayimba told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme about her experiences and her work with women who seek counselling after having abortions.
I went through an unsafe abortion when I was about 20 years old.
I was afraid to go and tell my mother that I was pregnant. I was four months pregnant and decided to face her but on my way home I met a close family friend.
He said, "If you tell your mother you're pregnant, you're going to break her heart."
He said there was another option, another way out. I was very scared because I didn't know anything about abortion but he told me it was going to be OK and safe.
He looked for the money, because I didn't have any at that time, and paid a nurse who took me to a gynaecologist in Kisumu, and that's where the abortion was performed.
I was not put under any anaesthetic and on the abortion bed it was such a very painful experience - though it took place in a clinic.
After that I was given an injection and I slept for a while and then got up and went home. My life went back to normal but every once in a while I would have pains in my stomach. It would make me jerk with the pain - for more than a year.
The pains kept coming. At this time psychologically I felt I was not good enough for another man - in my mind I was thinking no man would want to marry a woman who has gone through an abortion.
So when I got into another relationship, it was with low self-esteem, looking for love and acceptance.
After that, I got pregnant again - I was a very naive person and did not know much about protection - and the one I knew about, the condom, I didn't like.
Because the first abortion had solved my problem, I went through a second abortion. It was the easier option: I didn't think twice about it.
I was able to do my exams, - at the college of my dreams. I didn't want my pregnancy to stop my career.
But after a few months of relief, I then went through a lot of psychological trauma - I was a very, very depressed person.
I would hit depression about two times in a month: I would really hate myself - I couldn't look myself in the mirror because I knew in my heart what I'd done was so wrong.
I was also very suicidal. In fact, twice I attempted suicide.
I was angry with myself, angry with the world, there was anger against the people who took you for the abortion.
There was bitterness and regret because when you're seeing other people's children, in your mind you're visualising how old your baby would have been and you really feel bad about it.
I have recovered because I have been through professional counselling.
I am now pro-life as a result of what I went through.
Kenya's constitution [adopted in 2010] now permits abortion if a woman is considered at risk, but the risk is debatable, allowing some to have abortions for reasons that are not medical.
I now counsel women who have had abortions. Many ladies who have come for the support groups have gone through the abortion knowing they want to solve the problem but later go through post-abortion syndrome and many complications that come after.
I once had a lady who went for an abortion in a proper clinic and after the procedure she thought that her womb was still there, only when she got married and tried to have babies she discovered she had no womb.
She traced back to the clinic and they told her: "Oh, there was a complication and we removed it, sorry we didn't tell you."
Another lady, two months after the abortion, she discovered that she had a spinal cord left in her womb.
The stories are so many - there are so many complications that come after an abortion, even if it's done in a proper clinic.

Local authorities recorded 4,236 data breaches during a three-year period from April 2011, a study by privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch said.
Its director Emma Carr said this showed "shockingly lax attitudes to protecting confidential information".
The Local Government Association said breaches were "proportionately rare" given the volume of data handled.
The report is based on responses to Freedom of Information requests sent to all local authorities in the UK.
Its findings include how:
Specific cases detailed included a social worker at Lewisham City Council leaving a bundle of papers on a train, which contained personal or sensitive data relating to 10 children.
Also, a CCTV operator at Cheshire East Council used cameras to watch part of the wedding of a fellow member of their team, while an employee at Thanet in Kent was dismissed after accessing benefit claim records "inappropriately".
Big Brother Watch is calling for custodial sentences for the most serious data breaches.
Ms Carr said: "Despite local councils being trusted with increasing amounts of our personal data, this report highlights that they are simply not able to say it is safe with them.
"A number of examples show shockingly lax attitudes to protecting confidential information. For so many children and young people to have had their personal information compromised is deeply disturbing.
"With only a tiny fraction of staff being disciplined or dismissed, this raises the question of how seriously local councils take protecting the privacy of the public."

Big Brother Watch said 167 town halls reported no data breaches at all over the period under scrutiny.
A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: "Councils take data protection extremely seriously and staff are given ongoing training in handling confidential data.
"When [breaches] do occur, robust investigations and reviews are immediately undertaken to ensure processes are tightened."
John Swinney has done what he had signalled, and kept the first year of a Scottish Rate of Income Tax at the same level chosen at Westminster.
It was a safe centrepiece to a cautious, pre-election draft budget, signalling priority areas for the SNP re-election campaign - housing and childcare to the fore, with innovation and digital investment for the economy.
The allocation put in place defensive measures to fend off opposition attacks on the Scottish government's performance, notably on policing and college funding.
And it took the safe option of continuing to freeze council tax, for a ninth year, but by so doing, John Swinney increased the strength of case for reform of local taxation.
So no big deal on tax? Well, not quite. The nature of Holyrood politics has started to change fundamentally.
Whereas MSPs have 16 years of experience of distributing a block grant and balancing the books, they have ventured into riskier waters.
They now have the powers to alter income tax, and are on course to get much more substantial powers still. And they have to set a rate. Even if there's no change, it's a choice.
The democratic view of this is that it makes MSPs accountable for the money they raise.
One economic view is that they now have to learn how the use of tax powers can have unintended consequences.
Tax changes create incentives to change behaviour. Take, for instance, the new and devolved tax to replace Stamp Duty - the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax.
For its introduction last April, John Swinney did something unusual - he shifted the tax burden from buyers of cheap houses to buyers of expensive ones.
It was a clear choice for a more progressive tax, with 7% of transactions leaving the buyer worse off than under Stamp Duty.
George Osborne followed the new design of transaction levy - though with a less progressive range of rates.
This showed that ideas can be pinched, and that two very similar countries are likely to find they adopt similar approaches to taxation, however much the rhetoric is about divergence.
That was underlined by the decision to increase the transactions tax on 'additional homes' - second homes, holiday homes and buy-to-let properties. George Osborne did it last month. John Swinney did it this month.
But LBTT has introduced a new dimension to life at Holyrood. If budgets are to be balanced, the tax revenue from such taxes can't veer too far off course.
Governments need an understanding of how much any tax or tax change could raise - and if that revenue isn't raised, they need the flexibility to borrow or find other ways of keeping a level playing field.
The Scottish Fiscal Commission has been set up, with the official role to provide assessments of the soundness of tax and spend forecasting.
While its report, published at the same time as the draft budget, said Mr Swinney's forecasts are "reasonable", it was less complimentary about the means used to get to them.
It detailed how the Scottish government needs to gain expertise, and data, with which to forecast more accurately.
That is after forecasts for LBTT revenue, in its first seven months, has come in £31m adrift from one set of Scottish government forecasts. There was a failure to judge correctly how much transactions for the most expensive property would be brought forward to avoid the new charge.
The commission said it was "increasingly concerned" about the absence of an understanding of how behaviour change can alter tax revenue, and that a great deal of work had to be done on the effect of the supplementary charge on the property market.
If MSPs are only now figuring out that transactions tax can change behaviour, they are going to have to get more robust, reliable data with which to model the impact of income tax.
Unlike property, taxable income is a lot easier to move to places where it will be taxed less. And given that there is a high reliance on top earners to pay Scotland's income tax - more than 20% of income tax contributed by the top 1% of earners - it is rather important that there is an understanding of what happens if you hit high earners with higher taxes.
The other key message from this budget is about public sector reform. We've heard lots about that, going back to pre-SNP days at St Andrew's House. The results have been patchy to disappointing.
John Swinney put fresh impetus into that. Once again, he wants councils to work more closely together and more efficiently. There was a hint that, if they do, the pain of their finance cut could be eased.
He wants more digital access to public services, and smarter procurement.
And he moved the focus on protecting the health service financially, to challenging it to change the way it works.
Such reform, he said, is at least as important as more money. And not reforming will undermine the ability of the NHS to meet rising demand from an ageing population, and rising expectations of what health technology can provide.
That could put MSPs into new territory of confronting the power of the public sector professions and of other vested interests.
It is another signal that governing is about a lot more than distributing cash and giving away free stuff.Scottish taxpayers will have an 'S' at the start of their tax code, but otherwise won't see much difference in their tax bills and pay slips.
The freshly drafted code aims to limit the viral spread of online abuse on social media.
It requires the firms to act quickly when told about hate speech and to do more to help combat illegal and xenophobic content.
The firms must also help "educate" users about acceptable behaviour.
The need for better ways to combat online hate speech had become more urgent in the wake of terror attacks in Belgium, said Vera Jourova, European Commissioner for Justice.
"Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalise young people and racists use to spread violence and hatred," she said in a statement.
Hate speech and xenophobia also had a "chilling effect" on groups that sought to champion tolerance and non-discrimination, she said.
The agreement of the four web firms was an "important step forward" in making sure the net stayed a place where free expression was possible, Ms Jourova said.
A core part of the code is the requirement to remove hateful content within 24 hours of being properly notified about it.
The tech giants have also agreed to work more closely with groups that monitor and flag violent and hateful content. They will also develop and promote "counter narratives" to challenge those who post hate speech or illegal content.
Karen White, Twitter's head of public policy for Europe, said "hateful conduct" had no place on its network and added there was a "clear distinction between freedom of expression and conduct that incites violence and hate".
The code also requires the four firms to overhaul their notification systems to ensure people can quickly report inflammatory content when they find it.
The Commission will hold regular meetings with technology firms to monitor what effect the code of conduct is having. A preliminary assessment of its effectiveness will be drawn up for the Commission's high level group on combating racism and xenophobia by the end of 2016.
The code of conduct for net firms was one of several initiatives to tackle abuse online, the Commission said. Other work involves research to help ISPs assess information posted online and produce tools that can counter intolerance. | A 10-year-old school girl's bid to have better signage on the doors of disabled toilets has won praise from MSPs.

Wallace helped the Lions win promotion from League One last season after signing on loan in January.
The 23-year-old joined Wolves from Portsmouth in May 2015, making 30 league appearances for the club.
Saville, 24, made 15 appearances for the Lions after joining on a three-month loan deal in October 2015.
He made his Football League debut for the club in March 2013 after joining on loan from Chelsea, before then signing for Wolves in August 2014.
Meanwhile, Wolves have opted not to take up the one-year option on the contract of defender Silvio, who will officially leave the club when his current deal expires at the end of June.
Injury-hit Silvio, 29, made only five appearances after joining Wolves last July from Atletico Madrid.

The 46-year-old faces two charges relating to the 2011 purchase, one of fraud and another under the Companies Act.
He has pleaded not guilty to both allegations.
Mr Whyte went on trial at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday after a jury of eight men and seven women was selected.
It is alleged that he pretended to then Rangers owner Sir David Murray, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments to acquire a "controlling and majority stake" in the club.
The funds included clearing an £18m bank debt, £2.8m for the "small tax case" liability, a £1.7m health-and-safety liability and £5m for the playing squad.
The Crown alleges 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 season ticket sales "which was held subject to an agreement or agreements being entered into between the club and Ticketus after said acquisition".
The second charge under the Companies Act centres on the £18m payment between Mr Whyte's Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a Bank of Scotland debt.
Mr Whyte is being represented by Donald Findlay QC, while Alex Prentice QC is leading the prosecution team.
After being picked, Judge Lady Stacey asked the jury to "consider matters" before evidence was to be heard in the case.
She said: "There has been some degree of publicity about Mr Whyte and Rangers - putting it at its broadest - over the last number of years.
"Do you know Mr Whyte? Do you know anyone personally who may be a witness?
"During May 2010 and May 2011 (time of charges), were you a shareholder, bond holder of season ticket holder of Rangers?
"Ask yourself is there any good reason why you cannot be an impartial member of this jury."
The judge also encouraged jurors to "put out of mind" anything they may have read or heard previously about the case.
After a short break, none of the men and women selected had to be excused.

It is the biggest shock of the election so far which is the most competitive in the country's history.
The BBC's Arnold Kayanda in the main city Dar es Salaam says it is a big blow to the governing CCM party.
But it is too early to predict the end of its 54-year rule as there are many results still to be declared, he says.
The electoral commission has until Thursday to announce the final results.
Agriculture Minister Stephen Wasira - a veteran CCM politician of over three decades - is among the high-profile ministers who lost their seats in Sunday's election.
Others include Investment Minister Christopher Chiza, Deputy Health Minister Stephen Kebwe and Deputy Education Minister Anna Kilango Malecela.
Observers from the European Union have given a positive assessment of the polls.
But they raised several concerns - including the apparent failure of state media to give fair and equitable coverage to the opposition in the build-up to the election.
On the semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar, the announcement of the election was temporarily suspended after soldiers stormed the collation centre, eventually evicting journalists and observers.
The opposition Ukawa coalition on Zanzibar had already expressed concerns about the results announced so far.
Residents on the islands also voted for their own president and members of the Zanzibar parliament on Sunday.
At the scene: Sammy Awami, BBC Africa, Zanzibar
About 70 armed soldiers invaded the compound of the electoral commission and locked journalists, local and international observers inside the main hall.
Officials also stopped announcing results.
The soldiers ordered all of us to stay where we were and when I tried to ask them why, they told me not to approach them or question them.
After more than three hours, they allowed us to leave the electoral commission premises and told us not to come back until further notice.
Electoral officials reconvened and decided to postpone any further announcements until Wednesday.
CUF, one of four parties which make up Ukawa, accused the Zanzibar electoral commission of only releasing results from constituencies where the CMM candidate won.
On Monday, Ukawa candidate Seif Sharif Hamad declared himself the winner of the Zanzibari presidential poll.
Correspondents say tension has been rising on the islands ahead of the final results.
Previous elections have turned violent on Zanzibar, which is made up of the islands of Unguja and Pemba and is a popular with tourists.

The new body is called the National Football Association of Zimbabwe, president Phillip Chiyangwa said.
He said the debt, which he blamed on the organization's previous leadership, will now be dealt with by a liquidator.
"I can tell you now that we don't owe anybody anymore," Chiyangwa said.
He added the process has been approved by Fifa and done with the "blessings" of football's world governing body.
However, Fifa said it "has not received any communication on the outcome of Zifa's extraordinary congress on 4 June 2016 to decide on the possible dissolution of the association".
Zimbabwe's federation had been in financial crisis for years because of a combination of mismanagement, alleged corruption, and the serious economic woes of the southern African nation.
At one point Zifa had to sell off assets, including an artificial training field, to raise money to pay its debts.
Zimbabwe was thrown out of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup by Fifa for failing, after numerous warnings, to pay a former coach wages it owed him.
The federation's latest problems came as Zimbabwe qualified for the African Cup of Nations on Sunday for the first time in 10 years.
One of the last acts of the old Zifa was to hand bans ranging from 10 years to life to a former national team assistant coach and two former federation officials for attempting to fix games.
Former assistant coach Nation Dube Ian Gorowa and former executive committee member Edzai Kasinauyo were banned for 10 years. Henrietta Rushwaya, once the federation chief executive, received a life ban for the second time for involvement in the attempted fixing.
Rushwaya was banned for life after a previous match-fixing scandal, but that sanction was overturned. The latest bans have not been ratified by Fifa.
Ionut and Mirela Vasile stole items at shops in Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Nottingham and Milton Keynes.
The most expensive item stolen was a £4,400 dress from Louis Vuitton in London.
The pair of Westbury Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham admitted conspiracy to steal and were sentenced to three years in prison at Birmingham Crown Court.
The "corrupt couple" had "perfected a tactic of distracting fitting room staff" as they hid clothes in changing rooms for accomplices to take later, West Midlands Police said.
They used foil-lined bags to get the items through security detectors.
The Vasiles first became known to police in Birmingham after they stole from the Michael Kors store in the Bullring shopping centre in January 2015.
Police say inquiries at stores across the country led them to uncover CCTV footage that showed them pulling off their scam in Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Nottingham and Milton Keynes.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Mirela Vasile, 34, was arrested on 27 April 2015, with Ionut Vasile, 35, arrested on 11 December 2015.
Tops from Alexander McQueen and Browns were found at the couple's home.
Police examined the pair's mobile phones and found messages from potential buyers.
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: "We found stolen clothes at their home that had been rebranded with a homemade price tag, the kind you might find at an independent shop, plus a price ticketing gun.
"They were living in private accommodation with no obvious income so it appears their whole lifestyle was funded through shoplifting."
Two hundred and seventy jobs are under threat at Tata Steel in Dalzell and Clydebridge.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the focus of the Scottish government remains "very firmly" on securing an alternative operator for the plants.
Tata said 225 jobs would go at Dalzell in Motherwell and 45 posts at the Clydebridge plant in Cambuslang.
Ms Sturgeon said at First Minister's Questions on Thursday that discussions between Tata and the Community union will continue.
She said: "Tata Steel has confirmed that there are currently serious parties potentially interested in the plants. This is encouraging and we continue to do everything we can to assist that process.
"There are no quick fixes here, there are certainly no easy fixes. But together with the workforce, the unions and with others we are working tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to keep these plants open."
Her comments came in response to a question at Holyrood from Motherwell Labour MSP John Pentland, who asked if she agreed that there is the potential to create a centre of excellence for steel making in Scotland.
Mr Pentland also called on the government to provide for the steelworkers in any transitional period towards that hub of expertise.
Ms Sturgeon responded: "If there is any viable option that will secure the future of these plants then the government will explore taking that forward.
"We do right now have serious parties that are expressing potential interest in the plants. I think it is therefore appropriate and therefore right that we concentrate on doing everything we can to see one of those expressions of interest turn into something real and viable, and that at the moment is where the Scottish government will continue to expend our energy."
Business minister Fergus Ewing also said efforts to secure a new operator for the plants will continue.
Mr Ewing stated a "extensive global search" had been carried out to find a new operator.
Friday marks the end of the minimum statutory 45-day consultation period for workers at Tata.
When it the job losses were announced in October, the Scottish government set up a Scottish Steel Task Force, bringing together key representatives across government and the industry to help keep Dalzell and Clydebridge open.
Mr Ewing said: "The Scottish Steel Taskforce remains focused on finding an alternative operator for Dalzell and Clydebridge and keeping jobs where possible. It will meet again next week to review progress.
"In a hugely challenging global steel market, we want to create the best business environment for any new operator taking on the sites.
"The Lanarkshire assessor will take into account the state of the steel industry for the next business rates revaluation in April 2017, while we are open to options for reducing the rates liability complying with state aid rules.
"We now know that energy costs at the sites could be cut significantly, while there is potential for renewable electricity generation and sale of heat from the plants."
Mr Ewing said the Scottish government will continue to put pressure on the UK government to do all it can do, in particular putting pressure in turn on the European Commission.
Bimlendra Jha, the executive chairman of Tata Steel's Longs Steel UK, said the firm will continue to work closely with affected employees and their trade unions.
He said: "That work will, in this case, continue beyond the statutory 45-day minimum consultation period.
"At the same time, Tata Steel is working closely with the Scottish government and is fully engaged in the taskforce process of finding an alternative solution for the Dalzell and Clydebridge mills."
Steve McCool, national officer at steelworkers' union Community, added: "We will continue to talk to Tata Steel, the Scottish government and all interested parties in the interests of securing a future for the Dalzell and Clydebridge plants.
"As we have said all along, all parties need to work together to ensure that the skills are retained and the assets are preserved to ensure that production has the chance to continue."
In October, Tata said both Dalzell and Clydebridge would be mothballed, while a further 900 posts will go at Tata's facility in Scunthorpe.
The firm blamed the cuts on a flood of cheap imports from China, a strong pound and high electricity costs.
Tor Farquhar, human resources director of Tata Europe, told reporters outside the Dalzell plant at the time that it would be "extremely difficult" to find a new buyer.
The decision to close the two Tata plants in Scotland effectively ends production at the country's last two major steelworks.
The Dalzell Steel and Iron Works opened in 1872, and Clydebridge in 1887.
The Big Butterfly Count - an annual survey by thousands of volunteers - recorded an average 12.2 per count, compared with a 2013 high of 23.
Numbers were even lower than a previous slump in the wet summer of 2012, despite far warmer weather.
Butterfly Conservation, which organised the count, said the cause was still a mystery.
The count involved more than 36,000 people who recorded more than 390,000 butterflies.
The survey has been running since 2010 but the group uses nationwide figures which go back to the 1970s.
Butterfly Conservation's head of recording Richard Fox said: "The overall trend has been a decline but we expect annual variations based on the weather.
"But the fall this year has been shocking and disappointing as the summer weather has been good, and we don't know why.
"The most extreme thing was the exceptionally mild winter but it is debated if that is a good or bad thing for butterflies."
The picture is not even across all species however, with some doing well and others being hit hard.
Red admiral was up by 70% and the green-veined white by 58%.
The worst hit species was the common blue, down by 55%, with five other types dropping by 40% or more.
Mr Fox added: "Butterfly numbers are under pressure from industrialised farming and the concern is that a bad year will do lasting damage.
"With some rarer species we are already at the point that colonies could be wiped out and not having the numbers to come back."
Tim Sexton, from Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire, said his experience reflected this picture.
"Some populations have dropped dangerously low and we might even risk local extinctions.
"The thing we have noticed is that it seems like the species which migrate, like the red admiral, have done well but those which wintered here have suffered."
The submarine was training with the navy 34 miles (55km) off The Lizard on Tuesday.
It was below the surface when it became entangled in the nets of Daytona, a trawler registered to Saint-Brieuc, north west France.
There were no casualties and both vessels were safe, the navy said.
More on the incident, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
"The submarine immediately surfaced and made contact with the trawler," French maritime authorities said in a statement.
Falmouth Coastguards and the Maritime Accident Investigation Branch were made aware.
In 2004, five crew died when the French trawler Bugaled Breizh sank off The Lizard.
The families of the victims claim the trawler was dragged underwater by a submarine involved in an international military exercise, but courts ruled there is no supporting evidence.
The Moroccans, led by former Real Madrid boss John Toshack, scored late in DR Congo to earn a second-leg 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile the tie between Enyimba and Etoile du Sahel went to penalties, with the Nigerian side going through.
ASEC Mimosas, AS Vita Club and Al Ahly are the other teams through to the group stages after Wednesday's action.
Mazembe had taken the lead in their match against Wydad after 28 minutes as Mali defender Salif Coulibaly headed home a corner from Ghana's Solomon Asante.
But Wydad's Reda Hajhouj equalised in injury time, to give the visitors a comfortable aggregate margin.
Mazembe now drop down to the Confederation Cup play-offs, the draw for which is on Thursday.
Eight-times record African champions Al Ahly of Egypt left it late before progressing to the group phase with a dramatic win against Tanzania's Young Africans.
The tie was delicately poised going into the second leg in Alexandria after the teams had drawn 1-1 in Dar es Salaam.
Ahly, managed by former Tottenham boss Martin Jol, took the lead in the 51st minute through Hossam Ghaly.
But the impressive Tanzanians hit back with an equaliser from Donald Ngoma 16 minutes later.
With the fixture heading towards extra-time, Ahly secured their place in the next stage of the competition with a winner from El-Said deep into stoppage time.
It was even tighter in the late match between Nigeria's Enyimba and hosts Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.
Enyimba had a 3-0 lead from the first leg but that disappeared as Etoile scored through Hamza Lahmar in the first half, followed by two goals in the second half from Diogo Acosta.
Etoile took a 2-0 lead in the shoot-out but Enyimba came back to win it 4-2 and progress.
Etoile, who won the Confederation Cup last year, will now have the chance to hold on to that crown.
Elsewhere, Ivorians ASEC Mimosas lost their second leg to Libya's Al Ahly Tripoli 2-1 on Wednesday, but advanced 3-2 on aggregate.
The match was played in Tunis on security grounds.
In Pretoria, AS Vita Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo went through on the away goals rule, after losing the second leg against South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1.
Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Vita Club increased their advantage when Kule Mbombo scored a precious away goal after 38 minutes to make it 2-0 overall.
The South African side fought back, first from the penalty spot when Nthethe scored just before half-time, and then through a Langerman strike 15 minutes from time.
That made it 2-2 on aggregate, but it was not enough for the South Africans with Vita Club squeezing through.
The draw for the group stage will be held on 24 May in Cairo, Egypt.
If accidentally swallowed, the small, round batteries can get lodged in the oesophagus and burn a hole through its lining.
London's Great Ormond Street Hospital has seen a big increase in cases in the past year.
Surgeon Kate Cross said: "Button batteries should be treated like poison and kept out of reach of children."
Three-year-old Valeria, from Northern Ireland, has been left with permanent damage to her throat after she swallowed a watch battery in April 2015.
The battery became stuck in her food pipe and she began being sick and refusing food.
It was not until five days later that an X-ray showed she had swallowed a battery, by which time it had burned a hole through her oesophagus and windpipe.
Since then she has spent nine months at Great Ormond Street Hospital receiving specialist treatment and still needs to visit every few weeks.
Valeria has undergone dozens of surgical procedures, including having part of her oesophagus removed.
Her mother Jelena said: "Because she now can't eat or drink properly, the doctors have made a hole in her neck and attached a bag so that all her saliva and anything she drinks goes straight in to it.
"Without this, water would go in to her lungs, which would be very dangerous. She also has a special button on her tummy that that liquid food goes through.
"In many ways Valeria is now a normal three-year-old who likes Play-Doh and playing doctors, but she still needs a lot more operations to help her recover."
Doctors are planning to put a metal support, called a stent, into what is left of her oesophagus and they may eventually lift her stomach into her chest to create a new food pipe.
Great Ormond Street Hospital says a decade ago they rarely treated button battery injuries, but there has been a dramatic rise recently, and now are seeing about one child a month.
Kate Cross, consultant neonatal and paediatric surgeon said: "If the battery gets enveloped in the mucosa of the oesophagus it creates an electrical circuit and the battery starts to function, releasing an alkali which is like caustic soda, which can erode through the wall to the windpipe.
"If the battery is facing a different way it can burn into the aorta, a major blood vessel, and there have been cases in Britain where the child has bled to death.
"That is why it is important to get the message out to parents but also other health professionals because this is a time critical problem."
Catharina Santos, aged 18 months, swallowed a button battery that she removed from some bathroom scales at her home in Surrey.
Her mother Jessika said: "I saw Catharina playing with the scales and a moment later realised she had removed the battery cover - I took her to hospital straight away."
Doctors removed the battery about three hours after it had been swallowed, but it had already burned through to her windpipe.
Catharina is being tube fed, and will need complex surgery to try to repair the damage.
Jessika said "My message to other parents is to make sure they keep any of these batteries, or the items which contain them, far away from children."
Children's hospitals in Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester are also trying to raise awareness of the potential dangers after a steady stream of cases.
Ray Clarke, consultant surgeon at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool said: "We have also had a few cases of children putting them into the nose with nasty consequences, including perforation of the nasal septum (a hole in the partition between the nostrils) or putting them into their ear causing serious inflammation."
Katrina Phillips, Chief Executive of the Child Accident Prevention Trust, said: "Button batteries are everywhere in our homes, in many products that appeal to children.
"But very few parents know about the danger they pose, especially those containing lithium.
"We want to join forces with the battery industry to raise awareness and help keep children safe."
In 2014, engineers in the US produced button batteries with a special coating which conducts electricity only when squeezed, such as when it is in a spring-loaded compartment.
However, the technology has yet to be incorporated by manufacturers.
The British and Irish Portable Battery Association (BIPBA) said it was investigating such designs.
BIPBA said it "takes the safety of consumers very seriously", adding that warning notices are placed on batteries and packaging is child resistant.
Sainsbury's, which has been running the promotion since 2011, will end it in three weeks' time.
It says it will use the money saved to cut prices on basics.
Increasingly shoppers buy little and often, which means fewer baskets contain the 10 items needed to qualify for Brand Match.
Earlier on Thursday, the Co-op credited the "little and often" method for its growing sales. The Co-op has 2,800 stores, more than double that of Sainsbury's.
This is the second change in promotional strategy from Sainsbury's this year.
Earlier this year, it announced it would stop multi-buy deals, saying customers found these caused "logistical challenges at home in terms of storage and waste".
Sainsbury's is following a trend among its rivals, who are all facing fierce competition from the fast-growing discounters, Aldi and Lidl.
Morrisons last year stopped the price-matching element of its loyalty card scheme and Asda has made changes to its scheme.
Research also shows that a plethora of special offers and promotions leave shoppers confused.
Storms Desmond, Eva, Frank and Gertrude all caused major issues in the area, as did poor weather on 27 January.
A report to councillors said nearly 400 repair jobs eligible for support under the Bellwin Scheme had been identified.
Their cost is likely to exceed £3.5m. Scottish Borders Council is bidding for a further £925,000 from another scheme.
The Scottish Borders was hit by heavy rainfalls throughout the winter with Hawick, Jedburgh, Newcastleton and Peebles badly affected.
A lengthy list of repairs has been drawn up across the region and many of them have already been carried out.
Most of them should be funded by the Scottish government via the Bellwin Scheme.
However, SBC will need to fund the first £508,000 of works.
The local authority also hopes to get further capital funding from a separate government-backed compensation scheme.
It would be used to replace the Bowanhill Bridge near Teviothead and Newmill footbridge north of Jedburgh, and carry out embankment works on the Ettrick Water in Selkirk.
The referendum certainly didn't end tensions and divisions and there will be many more arguments over the next two years.
But one of the most striking things about yesterday's debate on the bill which would pull the UK out of the European Union, was how good tempered it was.
Perhaps the tone was established early on by those two veterans of the European argument, Kenneth Clarke and Sir Bill Cash?
During his speech, Ken Clarke insisted he was on good terms with the people he dubbed "the hard-line Euro-sceptics" because he respected their sincerity.
And he joked that "hot tongs" wouldn't make Sir Bill Cash vote for membership of the EU.
Sir Bill returned the compliment. He paid tribute to Mr Clarke and declared: "I respect him and the way in which we have battled over these matters over all these years."
Who'd have thought we'd see such a public display of clubbable chumminess from two veterans of the bitter Maastricht rebellions?
James Bell, of Ramsgate, Kent, and George Bathmaker, of Mitcham, south London, both aged 79, died within three months of each other in 2013.
Dr Shirley Radcliffe recorded a verdict of accidental death after a joint inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court.
West Yorkshire company Acorn Stairlifts has accepted responsibility.
"Investigations revealed there had been a catastrophic failure of a welding joint between the tubular seat post and the attachment plate," Dr Radcliffe said.
She said it had occurred as a result of "inadequate welding at the time of manufacture".
The inquest heard Mr Bell sustained head and chest injuries and Mr Bathmaker suffered a spinal injury and cardiac arrest after their stairlifts snapped and they fell downstairs.
Both men had been using Acorn Superglide 120 models.
Acorn's lawyer Gary Lewis told the inquest a dealer had contacted the company about a month after Mr Bell died at his home in July 2013, saying the Kent coroner had been informed.
Despite enquiring twice about Mr Bell's death the company did not get a reply until the end of September as the coroner was on holiday.
By the time of the reply on 30 September Mr Bathmaker had also died.
The company, based in Steeton, said it was "distraught and shocked" on realising there may have been a link between the deaths.
Group compliance manager William Waddell said the news of a second death prompted a major recall.
A total of 43,556 stairlifts were sold directly by Acorn, with a further 14,054 sold through dealers.
"Everyone now has been contacted in some way," said Mr Waddell.
"We have exhausted every avenue to try and find the stairlifts."
Caroline Killbride, of West Yorkshire Trading Standards, said the firm's rectification programme was appropriate in line with its obligations and that it had sufficient recall procedures.
After the inquest Mr Bell's daughters Diane Lee and Sonia Dutton said they wanted justice for their father and to prevent anything like his death happening again.
"It's appalling," said Ms Lee. "The stairlift was put in to prevent an accident happening and it proved to be the death of him."
Mr Bathmaker's son Daniel said not enough had been done after the death of Mr Bell.
"My family would like to say that whilst we accept the coroner's verdict of death by accident we do not accept that every effort was made by Kent Constabulary, Kent Coroner's Office and Acorn at the time of Mr Bell's death that could have prevented the death of my father."

At least six people have died in the fires, which have burned more than 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) of forest, officials said.
The fires broke out a month ago, but intensified in recent days with more than 400 burning simultaneously.
They have not yet hit Himalayan tourist towns, but villagers say that smoke has affected air quality and visibility.
Officials say fires have been widespread this year because the forest is exceptionally dry due to low rainfall.
"This can be compared with the worst fire of 2012," said Environment and Forests Minister Prakash Javadekar.
The Indian air force has used helicopters to help douse the flames, although low visibility caused by smoke has limited their deployment, local media reported.
But the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF), which is co-ordinating the fire-fighting effort, reports that satellite imagery indicates that 70% of the flames have been put out.
The director general of the agency, OP Singh, told the PTI news agency that they have managed to bring down the number of fires from 427 to 110-115 locations.

The fires come as India suffers one of its worst droughts in years. The government says 330 million are now affected by water shortages.
It comes as part of efforts to target women aged 31 to 44 in a campaign to change attitudes about alcohol.
Last year the Scottish government urged drinkers to take smaller glass sizes, to promote health and limit ageing.
It has now updated its "drinking mirror" app to show how cutting back could improve your looks over 10 years.
Official estimates suggest one in every 30 deaths among women is alcohol-related.
Figures from the Scottish Health Survey also indicate more than one in three regularly drink more than is good for their health - the recommended weekly guideline of 14 units for women.
Health Secretary Alex Neil told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Over the past 20 years or so there has been a doubling in the number of deaths of women aged 31 to 44 as a result of over-consumption of alcohol and there's been a trebling of the incidence of cirrhosis and liver disease as well."

"Hope" was a word I heard a lot; "something new". But when I asked about his political programme, eyes went blank.
And this is where the Big Mac comes in. Except that France has bought the burger without really knowing what's in it.
This world economic and political power and key EU player is about to be presided over by a politician whose person, party and policies are pretty much unexplored.
That's quite a gamble.
One Macron issue that people are very clear on, though, is that he is not Marine Le Pen.
That may seem screamingly obvious but it is largely the key to his electoral success.
French voters desperately wanted change - to stubbornly high youth unemployment rates, social inequality, a stagnant economy and the persistent terror risk.
They were keen to kick out the old guard - the traditional centre-left and centre-right parties that have governed France for decades - but they clearly favoured "safe" change over a new French revolution, offered to them by the far left and the far right.
The fear and disgust in mainstream France at the very idea of Marine Le Pen as their national figure-head was palpable. Many Macron votes were simply by virtue of him not being her.
And yet she still garnered one in three presidential votes on Sunday. Millions more stayed away or spoiled their ballots.
Emmanuel Macron is known as the French establishment's anti-establishment figure.
This suggests it will now be quite a challenge to win over large sections of the French public.
Yes, he's promised a new, dynamic France: socially just yet business-friendly, neither left- nor right-wing. But can he really dance at so many weddings all at the same time?
Marine Le Pen's failure to win the presidency does not magically erase the social, economic and political reasons so many voters flocked to her in the first place.
These socio-political divisions will become screamingly obvious in France now as it heads towards parliamentary elections.
The EU too should exercise caution before popping another champagne bottle.
If one Macron policy is well-publicised, it's his passionately Europhile credentials.
EU flags waved alongside the French tricolour throughout his presidential campaign. He chose to make his first stage appearance after the election heralded by the tones of the EU anthem, Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
Brussels is cock-a-hoop that Eurosceptic nationalists have now been defeated at the polls in Austria, the Netherlands and France, with negligible chances of success for them in Germany this autumn.
But, and it's a big but, the fact that populist politicians from the far right (and in some countries like France also the far left) have performed strongly in elections shows there is no blank cheque for the status quo.
Voters expect change at home and in the EU.
Emmanuel Macron promises to be a mixed blessing for Brussels. His reform proposals for deeper Eurozone integration will horrify German taxpayers for starters.
Irresistible charm of France's new leader
Good or bad for Brexit?
His commitment to EU unity will also worry the UK ahead of the start of formal Brexit negotiations.
He's promised to be tough.
But is Emmanuel Macron flexing muscles he doesn't yet have on the domestic and EU front?
His challenge now with his fledging political party will be to survive next month's legislative elections with his credibility intact, so he can form the robust government needed to pass the reforms he promises.
If given the go-ahead it would allow HMRC to release anonymous tax data to third parties including companies, researchers and public bodies.
But former Conservative minister David Davis told the Guardian the plans were "borderline insane".
An HMRC spokesman said "no final decisions" had been taken, and it was committed to "confidentiality".
The newspaper reported that "charging options" were being examined by officials, suggesting that firms could pay to access the data.
But concern has been raised over the plans in the wake of the Care.data initiative - a proposed anonymous sharing of NHS medical records - which is currently suspended after fears were raised as to exactly what information would remain anonymous.
Plans to relax the laws around HMRC data-sharing - which are being overseen by Treasury minister David Gauke - were first consulted on in July last year, but HMRC said "further consultations" would also be taking place.
Mr Davis told the Guardian: "The officials who drew this up clearly have no idea of the risks to data in an electronic age.
"Our forefathers put these checks and balances in place when the information was kept in cardboard files, and data was therefore difficult to appropriate and misuse.
"It defies logic that we would remove those restraints at a time when data can be collected by the gigabyte, processed in milliseconds and transported around the world almost instantaneously."
Emma Carr, deputy director of civil rights campaign group, Big Brother Watch, said: "The ongoing claims about anonymous data overlook the serious risks to privacy of individual level data being vulnerable to re-identification.
"Given the huge uproar about similar plans for medical records, you would have hoped HMRC would have learned that trying to sneak plans like this under the radar is not the way to build trust or develop good policy."
A HMRC spokesman said: "HMRC would only share data where this would generate clear public benefits, and where there are robust safeguards in place.
"Last year's consultation made it very clear that there would be a rigorous accreditation process for anyone wanting access to the data and that any access would take place in a secure environment.
"Those accessing data would be subject to the same confidentiality provisions as HMRC staff, including a criminal sanction for unlawful disclosure of taxpayer information."
Bangor-based Cor Glanaethwy will be part of an international mass choir presenting the US premiere of Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins' Cantata Memoria.
It was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster.
Choir director Cefin Roberts said it would be an emotional performance.
On 21 October 1966, a mountain of coal waste slid down into a school and houses in the Welsh village, killing 144 people, including 116 children.
"Now, 50 years on, singing about this... is quite emotional for everyone involved, even the youngsters in the choir, even the young people that had not heard of Aberfan," said Mr Roberts.
A total of 70 members of the choir have made the trip to New York to join other choirs in performing the piece on Sunday.
Adam Smith hit the post for the visitors, before Michael Rankine fired in from the edge of the box to give Altincham a half-time lead.
Atkinson levelled the scores when he headed Smith's cross beyond home goalkeeper Tim Deasy at the back post.
The result left Altrincham just two points clear of the relegation zone, while Guiseley stayed in 17th place.
The film's co-directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, said they "couldn't be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range".
Donald Glover, who won a Golden Globe on Sunday for his US TV show Atlanta, will play the young Lando Calrissian opposite Alden Ehrenreich's Han.
Emilia Clarke will also appear in the film, scheduled for release in 2018.
The British actress is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and also appeared in 2015's Terminator: Genysys.
Harrelson, best known for playing barman Woody in Cheers, was more recently seen as Haymitch Abernathy in the four Hunger Games films.
Lord and Miller, who also directed The Lego Movie, said Harrelson's "ability to find both humour and pathos, often in the same role, [was] truly unique".
The film-makers did not give any details about his role in the film - although they did reveal on the official Star Wars site that "he is also very good at ping pong".
Later this month, the 55-year-old plans to shoot a live movie that will be filmed in a single take in London and broadcast directly to US cinemas.
Harrison Ford played Han Solo in the original Star Wars film trilogy, returning to reprise the role in 2015's The Force Awakens.
Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi.

Warren, who led overnight, hit three bogeys and a triple bogey on the last six holes in Kuala Lumpur as his three-over round left him on six under.
Bernd Wiesberger leads on 12 under after his second round 63 included nine straight birdies.
England's Danny Willett carded a 67 and is one shot behind Wiesberger.
Willett, the 2016 Masters champion, hit six birdies and a bogey in his second round.
"I played really well on Thursday and it was a little bit scrappy," said Willett.
"I holed a couple of nice putts when I needed to. I missed a couple of good chances too, but if someone told me at the start of the day (you will post) five under, I would have bitten their hand off.
"The last few weeks I've been trying to hit a fade and I've been hitting them straight left and getting in all sorts of problems, so everything has come on nicely.
"But I've been working hard so it's nice to do it on the course."
Barros' failed medical test forced the abandonment on Friday.
Three-time champion Mares, who holds the regular WBA title, as opposed to Leo Santa Cruz's super belt, is also keen on the fight.
"That's a fight I would take straight away," said Selby.
"He's a big star in America so a fight between me and him, wherever it took place, over here or back in the UK, it would do massive numbers."
Negotiations for the fight could be relatively straightforward, as both fighters are advised by American promoter Al Haymon.
The cancellation of the Barros bout cost Selby, 29, a first outing in Las Vegas.
Selby admitted he might have to arrange another fight before he can set up a meeting with former super WBA champion Carl Frampton, who is eager to face the Welshman in Belfast.
Selby would like to defend his crown in Cardiff, and Mexican-American Mares would be happy to take on the man from Barry in his homeland.
"I'll fight anyone anywhere," Mares told BBC Wales Sport.
"I'll go to his country and fight him. I've got no problem with that because that's the type of fighter I am."
Mares, 31, met 29-year-old Selby at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, with both fighters present as Northern Ireland's Frampton lost to Leo Santa Cruz on points.
"He [Selby] is a well-known fighter, obviously more in his country," added Mares.
"I'm a respectable, well-known fighter myself being a four-time world champion and holding a world title.
"We can unify world titles and make it interesting. I have no problems packing my bags and flying over there to his hometown because I know of his potential.
"I know the type of fighter he is and it will make it a good fight so I'm with it."
The Charity Commission began its inquiry into "serious regulatory concerns" at the Didier Drogba Foundation in April.
That followed a Daily Mail report that only £14,115 of the £1.7m donated had gone to help causes in Africa.
Drogba, 38, said he is seeking damages and an apology from the newspaper.
The Commission, which used its powers to analyse the foundation's accounts, said it was satisfied there was no foul play.
But it was critical of the fact the foundation failed to separate its activities from those of an Africa-based arm of the organisation.
That meant funds collected in the UK were not being spent on hospitals or clinics, as donors were led to believe, but were being saved in a UK current account.
"Donors will have expected their donations to have been used for charitable purposes, not accumulated in a bank account," the report read.
"Donors to the English charity may also have been misled about the activities of the charity they were supporting.
"This is because the impression was given that the English charity had financed the activities of the Ivory Coast Foundation, which is clearly not the case."
The Commission has issued the Didier Drogba Foundation with an "action plan" to make improvements.
The Didier Drogba Foundation was started in the UK in 2009 when the former Ivory Coast captain was playing for Chelsea.
The Mail claimed that since the foundation started, only £14,115 of £1.7m given by donors in the UK had been spent on charity projects.
It also claimed £439,321 was spent staging on lavish fundraising parties attended by celebrities, with one ball losing £71,000.
The newspaper also said supporters were told they were supporting the construction of a hospital and up to five clinics, but only one clinic had been built and it had no staff or medical equipment.
The Charity Commission said it wanted to:
It added: "The charity has raised and accumulated significant sums of money that have not yet been spent and further information is required over the plans to spend those funds."
"We have been able to satisfy our most serious concerns in relation to the charity by confirming that funds have not been misapplied and that all funds raised in the English charity's name have been held by the English charity," the report read.
"We are also able to confirm that we found no evidence of fraud or corruption on behalf of the charity."
However, it continued: "We have issued the charity with an action plan to ensure that the outstanding concerns, particularly with regard to transparency to donors and the public, are addressed by the charity's trustees."
Drogba released a statement welcoming the findings that "no funds have been misapplied by my Foundation, and that there has been no financial wrongdoing, no fraud and no corruption".
He added: "I am pleased that this supports what we always said from the start, which is that the claims made by the Daily Mail back in April were entirely false.
"I have instructed my lawyers to seek a full apology and damages to be paid to my Foundation from the Daily Mail."
The Mail has always stood by its story and journalism - and stressed that at no point had it ever alleged fraud or corruption.
"Yesterday President Zuma was advised to rest following a demanding election," a statement said. Doctors were satisfied with his condition.
Mr Zuma, 72, was sworn in for a second term on 24 May following the African National Congress election victory.
His cabinet has to tackle worsening economic problems with unemployment at nearly 25%, analysts say.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first published in 1997, and since then it has been translated into around 74 different languages and sold more than 100 million copies all over the world.
The series written by J.K.Rowling has become one of the best selling book series of all time, and has even been turned into massive blockbuster movies.
So to celebrate we are taking a look back at some of the best locations from the first book - from King's Cross station to the reptile room at London Zoo...
The "striking" spoonbills were seen at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's (SWT) Montrose Basin Reserve.
There are only about 75 sightings a year of the bird in the UK - and the trust said they had never been spotted at the Montrose reserve before.
Spoonbills have a long black flattened bill, which resembles a spoon at the tip. The species is a European conservation concern.
SWT Perthshire ranger Anna Cheshier said it was a rare opportunity for bird-watchers to see an "unusual visitor" to the UK.
"The spoonbill is unmistakable. It really stands out at Montrose Basin and we have been watching them carefully since the first sighting on the 28 June," she said.
"I have never seen more than one spoonbill at Montrose Basin so it is great news to see a group."
The group has been at the basin for over a week and Ms Cheshier said rangers hoped they would stay for a while.
The expansion plan sparked deadly violence in the central-southern state of Oromia, which surrounds Addis Ababa.
Rights groups say that at least 150 protesters have died and another 5,000 have been arrested by security forces. Similar protests in May 2014 left dozens of protesters dead.
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn had vowed on 16 December that his government would be "merciless" towards the protesters, who he described as "anti-peace forces".
However in a surprising move, the Oromo People's Democratic Organisation (OPDO) said on 12 January that it had resolved to "fully terminate" the plan after a three-day meeting.
Rejection of official plans by government members is unprecedented in Ethiopia.
It is also historic, as it could be seen as acknowledging the legitimacy of the protests.
Any form of development the world over is going to upset someone, and the Ethiopian authorities have always said they would consult communities before bulldozing ahead.
But many Oromos, especially in the rural areas, view the expansion as a ploy by other ethnic groups, especially the Tigray and Amhara, to uproot them from their fertile lands under the guise of development.
The Oromo, who constitute about 40% of Ethiopia's 100 million inhabitants, frequently complain that the government is dominated by the Tigray and Amhara who hail from north of the capital.
The governing coalition - the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) - has not yet issued an official statement on the future of its so-called "master plan" for Addis Ababa's expansion.
But the extensive coverage of the OPDO statement by the tightly controlled state TV and pro-government websites indicates that the authorities will abandon it.
It is also surprising that the OPDO publicly expressed its condolences to bereaved families and pledged to assist those who lost property in the protests.
Such promises signal the depth of concern within the OPDO over the long-term impact of the protests.
The country's political stability is fragile and it faces numerous domestic and international disputes.
Ethiopia has up to 10 domestic armed rebellions, mainly in the regions of Oromia, Tigray and Amhara and Gambella to the west.
There is also long-standing rebel activity in the south-eastern state of Somali, also known as Ogaden.
Besides the border dispute with Eritrea, which sparked a 1999-2000 war, the country shares volatile borders with Somalia and South Sudan.
Pacification of the country's largest ethnic group removes one headache for the authorities.
Continuing the crackdown might have spurred Oromos to join rebel groups active in their region.
As long ago as 2002, late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said Oromo students and opposition activists presented the most serious threat to his government.
So in the face of the large Oromo constituency, the OPDO realised that supporting the master plan undermined its grassroots support and influence within the EPRDF.
It is unclear what impact the move will have on the economy, which is one of the fastest growing in Africa.
Part of this growth is fuelled by state investment in large infrastructural projects.
Despite the impressive development, Ethiopia is ranked 173 out of the 187 nations surveyed in the last UN Human Development Index and has high poverty indexes, mainly related to the rising population.
This has put immense pressure on Ethiopia's natural resources, including land, which has become a flashpoint.
Most of Ethiopia's population is based in the rural areas and engaged in subsistence farming.
The state owns the land, leaving little incentive for farmers to engage in economically viable farming.
Some of the best land has also been leased to foreigners, further fuelling the tensions.
While shelving the plan would be a major retreat for the government, it is a sign of political maturity of the EPRDF, which has consistently been accused by rights groups of being heavy-handed towards dissent since coming to power in 1991.
The step, even if temporary, also removes the rug from under the feet of its numerous critics and will earn it political goodwill from Ethiopia's international supporters, including Western donors.

The three families' lawyers have filed claims on their behalf.
Some city legislators say two Sri Lankan nationals have been targeted by police from their own country who have travelled to Hong Kong.
The refugee families fed and housed Mr Snowden for two weeks when he fled the US after leaking thousands of files.
They are still living in poverty in Hong Kong and unable to work after providing a refuge for the American in July 2013.
Their lawyers say it is "a matter of life and death" if they remain in the city.
Mr Snowden - who now lives in Russia - tweeted on Thursday that he hoped Canada would grant their request.
Canadian immigration lawyer Marc-Andre Seguin said that over the past few weeks the refugees' lawyers felt they needed to take additional steps to speed up the process.
"It's very clear that discretionary power should be applied," he told the South China Morning Post, referring to the ability by Canada's immigration minister to expedite claims.
Two of the refugees - Sri Lankan nationals Kellapatha Supun Thilina and Debagma Kankanalamage Ajith Pushpa Kumara - have said they are being illegally pursued by police from their own country.
They fear being forcibly returned to Sri Lanka, and that they could face violence and torture.
Sri Lankan police have denied the allegations.
The refugees also say Hong Kong authorities have questioned them on their ties to Mr Snowden.
Speaking to the AFP news agency, Vanessa Rodel - who is from the Philippines and among those seeking asylum in Canada - said: "I am hopeful that we can get into Canada and start a new life (with) safety and freedom."
Mr Seguin and others, including actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played Mr Snowden in the eponymous film, have been trying to raise awareness about the refugees' situation.
Canadian officials have yet to respond to request for comment.
Mrs May faced nurses angry over a pay freeze and a woman who had suffered ill treatment in a work assessment.
Mr Corbyn was repeatedly asked if he would fire nuclear weapons if Britain was under attack, after ruling out "first use" of them.
He said it was a "shame" Mrs May had refused to debate him "head-to-head".
The two leaders were questioned consecutively in the 90-minute special on BBC One.
During her 45-minute grilling, Mrs May repeated her mantra that "the only poll that matters is the one that takes place on polling day" and insisted she was right to have the "balls" to go to the country.
In a swipe at the prospect of Labour running the country, she said: "We have a situation at the moment where if Jeremy Corbyn was to get into Number 10, he'd be being propped up by the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish nationalists.
"You would have Diane Abbott, who can't add up, sitting around the Cabinet table, John McDonnell, who is a Marxist, Nicola Sturgeon, who wants to break our country up, and Tim Farron, who wants to take us back into the EU - the direct opposite of what the British people want."
Mr Corbyn began by saying there would "no deals" with other parties and condemning Donald Trump's ditching of the Paris climate agreement.
The Labour leader said: "I'm very sorry this is not a debate, this is a series of questions. I think it's a shame the prime minister hasn't taken part in a debate."
He insisted that his party's manifesto was not just a "wish list," saying it was "time to invest in our country".
He was challenged about his approach to Brexit and said the UK would not "necessarily" be poorer as a result of leaving the European Union.
This was not a classic by any means, but it did represent the most sustained period of grilling these two leaders have had so far.
Neither was seriously put off their stride but there were wobbles.
Theresa May seemed most uneasy when confronted with the experience one woman had with the controversial work capability test. She seemed reluctant to engage and empathise beyond a few carefully chosen words.
Jeremy Corbyn was heckled when he showed himself unwilling to say whether there were any circumstances in which he'd use nuclear weapons; and past dealings with Sinn Fein/IRA clearly had a number of audience members concerned.
Given the main purpose from the leaders point of view was not to fall flat on their face; they will consider this "job done". Less clear whether this will actually change any minds out there.
On Brexit, Mr Corbyn defended his team's ability to handle the negotiations, with plans for immediate legislation to protect the rights of EU nationals in the UK. He said a government led by him would work to "guarantee trade access to the European markets and protection for the conditions we have achieved through EU membership".
He was repeatedly quizzed about whether he would use nuclear weapons if Britain was under threat, eventually telling one audience member: "I don't want to be responsible for millions of deaths and neither do you."
The Labour leader has made no secret of his opposition to Trident, but has agreed to press ahead with renewal of the system after being defeated in an internal debate on party policy.
He said he would work for a world free of nuclear weapons and "do everything I can to ensure that any threat is actually dealt with earlier on by negotiations and by talks, so that we do adhere to our obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty".
Mr Corbyn was challenged by an audience member over why he had "never regarded the IRA as terrorists".
The Labour leader said: "I have deplored all acts of terrorism by anybody in Northern Ireland or anywhere else."
The Conservative leader faced questions about her previous support for staying in the EU.
"I did say at the time I thought there were advantages to remaining in the European Union," she said, but added that she had not said "the sky would fall in" if Britain left.
But she said she now wanted to "deliver on the will of the people" but also to "make sure we make a success" of Brexit.
She has also hit back at criticism of her decision not to take on Jeremy Corbyn in a head-to-head debate, saying: "I don't think seven politicians arguing among themselves is that interesting or revealing."
She faced detailed scrutiny from the audience on her planned social care reforms, after an audience member asked: "What is the point of us working our whole lives and building up a pension if it's all going to be taken away again to pay for our care should we need it?"
Mrs May insisted the reforms were "fair".
She also came under fire from nurses over their experience of incomes falling in real terms, as a result of the 1% cap on annual public sector pay rises. She said public money had to be "managed carefully".
She used attack lines first tried by Home Secretary Amber Rudd in Wednesday's seven-way debate, accusing her rival parties of having a "magic money tree" and repeatedly attacking the credibility of shadow home secretary Diane Abbott.
One questioner, with mental health issues, was close to tears as she spoke about her experience of a work capability assessment.
Mrs May said she would "make no excuses" for the way the woman had been treated, saying improvements had to be made to the work capability assessments and that people with mental health issues had to be given "more support at an early stage".
She also faced questions about the foreign aid budget, education and Paris climate agreement.
She said: "I have spoken to Donald Trump and told him that the UK believes in the Paris agreement."
Another Question Time special on BBC One on Sunday will see Lib Dem Leader Tim Farron go up against SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon. It will start at 17:55 BST and last an hour.
Both Question Time specials are being presented by regular host David Dimbleby.
"That win was absolutely critical for us if we want to compete for a top six spot," he told BBC Scotland.
"From our squad of 43 we had 18 guys gone, so strength in depth is vital.
"All the players that came on made a difference and it speaks volumes that we can put out a competitive side under these circumstances."
With a long injury list and players on Six Nations duty, things were looking gloomy for Edinburgh after an error-strewn opening at Murrayfield.
Having lost their previous three matches, the hosts were trailing 23-16 at the interval.
However, an unconverted Ben Toolis try 11 minutes from time added to Phil Burleigh's first-half touchdown, while Aled Thomas made a mess of a simple late penalty for the visitors.
"We made it really difficult for ourselves, we gifted them their first 13 points," said Solomons.
"We simply weren't at the races, we were too loose, and we had a few words at half time. I think I broke the rage-ometer!
"But, second half, the players showed enormous resolve. They were not going to lose that game.
"The energy we showed in the last 10 minutes was fantastic, we need to show that for 80 minutes."
With Scotland ending their Six Nations drought in Italy, Solomons said it was "a great weekend for Scottish rugby", adding: "Our national team was superb, Glasgow got an important win and the Under-20s won.
"We are definitely moving in the right direction in this country."
Edinburgh move up to fifth in the table and host leaders Connacht on Friday.
Looking forward to the next fixture, Solomons said his squad would need "a massive performance".
He added: "We get a 10-day break afterwards, so we don't want to leave anything out on the field."
Timothy Abbott, 54, from Stafford, claimed more than £58,000 in disability benefits and failed to pay almost £10,000 in Income Tax and National Insurance.
He was jailed for eight months after admitting four counts of fraud.
Meanwhile his wife Jeanette who admitted fraud totalling £103,000 was given a suspended eight month sentence.
Staffordshire County Council said Abbott, who toured the world as a spiritualist medium, was a regular gym member and claimed disability benefits he was not entitled to for five years.
A court will decide later in the year how much the couple will have to pay back.
Alan White, Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for health, care and wellbeing welcomed the convictions at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday.
"It is extremely disappointing to see that someone has shown blatant disregard for others who depend on this money," he said.
The former England midfielder, 37, joined PSG in January until the end of the season and has played 12 matches.
Beckham's side are nine points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with four games left, and Clement praised his impact.
"He's been a breath of fresh air. The club have made it clear that they'd like him to stay," he said.
Beckham was sent off in PSG's 1-0 win over Evian at the weekend after only six minutes on the pitch.
He gets on with everyone. The club have made it clear that they'd like him to stay
But despite the red card, fellow Englishman Clement - who also worked under PSG coach Carlo Ancelloti at Chelsea - said Beckham had made a real impact during his time in the French capital.
"Everyone was excited when they knew he was coming because he had a fantastic rep as a pro and a man, and great quality on the field still," Clement told beIN Sport.
"He gets on with everyone - first out to training, the last one back in, a real enthusiasm for the game.
"You know after 20 years of playing at the top level, he still loves his football and hopefully he'll be able to continue for a little bit longer.
"He's made it clear that's he's going to have a think about it at the end of the season, talk to his family, see how his body feels.
"If he feels fresh I'm sure he'll continue."
At the height of Ireland's Great Famine, Choctaws in southern states of the USA sent a donation of $170 (£111).
An extraordinary whip-round, that would be tens of thousands of dollars today.
The sculpture Kindred Spirits stands in a park in the small town of Midleton, in east Cork.
Cork-based artist Alex Pentek told the BBC that the 6m tall feathers, all unique "as a sign of respect" signify the feathers used in Choctaw ceremonies. They are arranged in a circle, making the shape of an empty bowl that symbolises the hunger suffered by Irish people in the famine.
A million people died in Ireland and another two million left the country when the potato crop failed for successive years, removing a vegetable that poor people ate every day.
The British government, which ruled the whole island at the time, did not offer comprehensive relief help, partly due to an economic doctrine of laissez-faire and partly due to a belief that the famine had been sent from God to improve Ireland, according to Charles Trevelyan, the British administrator in charge of relief.
The Choctaw people empathised with Ireland's famine victims. Just 16 years before, the American government had forcibly removed them from their land, moving them to designated parts of south-east Oklahoma.
In what became known as the Trail of Tears, thousands of people walked more than 1,000 miles (1,600km), having been forced to leave without gathering their possessions. Four thousand people died of hunger, cold and disease.
Historian Julie Allen told the BBC World Service's Newsday programme: "We had been through so much, losing so many of our people through death because of the weather, starvation and disease that 16 years later we heard about the Famine and the horrible situation that they were going through, we felt such empathy that we wanted to help.
"The memory of that has been passed down through oral history and written history to both the Choctaw and the Irish people.
"This is just such a blessing to us, that the links between our nations can be strengthened with this sculpture."
Mr Pentek said: "While I was trying to put myself in the shoes of the people suffering I realised that some things are just unimaginable, that the level and scale of suffering that both nations had endured was really beyond being able to think about, beyond our grasp."
Joe McCarthy of Cork County Council said there was no specific link between Midleton and the donation, but the story had "relevance to every single Irish person born since the famine".
The sculpture is made of stainless steel and includes more than 20,000 welds. | Nine Tanzanian government ministers have lost their parliamentary seats to the opposition Ukawa coalition, partial results from Sunday's vote show.

The prosecution offered no evidence against Soumaya Boufassil when she appeared at Kingston Crown Court.
She was charged with engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.
On the same charge, her brother Zakaria Boufassil was convicted on Tuesday and Mohammed Ali Ahmed pleaded guilty.
Max Hill QC, prosecuting, said: "[There is] only one appropriate course having reviewed all the evidence, we do not propose to go to trial and offer no evidence against her."
It was alleged she researched and discussed life as a member of so-called Islamic State, and along with Ahmed researched and planned secure methods to travel undetected overseas and accrued cash funds to finance their travel.
Justice Jeremy Baker said: "As far as Soumaya Boufassil is concerned on the prosecution offering no evidence against her, I order that on the singular indictment that she faces that a verdict of not guilty be entered.
"As far as you are concerned Soumaya Boufassil, you are now released from custody."
A jury at the same court found Zakaria Boufassil, 26, guilty of supplying £3,000 to Abrini, known as "the man in the hat", in Small Heath Park in Birmingham on 11 July last year.
Abrini, 31, was arrested in Belgium on 8 April accused of "participating in terrorist acts".

Fellaini signed a four-year deal with the option of a further year when he joined from Everton for £27.5m in 2013.
United boss Jose Mourinho has activated the option despite uncertainty over the 29-year-old midfielder's future.
Fellaini was booed by his own fans last month but scored in the EFL Cup semi-final win against Hull on Tuesday.
The Belgium international ran to Mourinho to celebrate his goal in what seemed to be a show of recognition for the faith shown in him after a difficult period, which included giving away a costly penalty at Everton on 4 December.
Speaking after Tuesday's victory, Mourinho said: "He has a very strong mentality and has coped well.
"He knows he is a very important player for me."
The Grade I listed Chepstow Bridge was built by John Urpeth Rastrick in 1816, and remains the only five-arch iron bridge of its age to survive.
It played a crucial role in uniting south Wales with the West Country, until the Severn Bridge opened in 1966.
Sunday will see the original opening re-enacted, as officials meet halfway.
Monmouthshire council chairman Jim Higginson has the honour of greeting his Gloucestershire counterpart, Colin Hay, along with the president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Sir John Armitt.
Mr Higginson said it would be "an historic occasion".
"I'm delighted to participate in the ceremony marking 200 years of this magnificent bridge. I'm sure that it'll be a day to remember," he said.
Chepstow mayor Paul Pavia added: "A huge amount of work has been invested in the event by the town council and local volunteers, especially John Burrows of the bridge's bi-centenary organising group, and I hope all our guests and local residents will enjoy and remember this historic day for years to come."
A foundation stone for the bridge was laid in 1813, and then in 1814 the contract to construct it was won by the Bridgnorth foundry of Hazeldine, Rastrick and Brodie, where engineer Rastrick was a managing partner.
Despite the scale of the task it was in place just two years later - at the cut price of £17,850 - about £1.2m today.
It spans 34 metres (112ft) across the Wye, and is maintained by both Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire councils.
The bridge replaced a wooden 10-arch structure that had stood on the Wye in one form or another for 500 years.
"Once complete, it became the third largest iron arch road bridge in the world, so it was a very bold initiative for its time," added Gloucestershire cabinet member, Vernon Smith.
"Last year we helped to fund structural repairs and a repaint. It now looks fantastic for its 200th birthday and I hope it'll be used for another 200 years and beyond."
Celebrations begin at 13:00 BST at Beaufort Square in Chepstow, with a bi-centenary plaque unveiling, a historic car procession and a riverside fair, all bringing the month-long Chepstow Festival to an end with a firework display.
The Welsh government has given final approval to deregister common land to allow the project to be built at a site in Rassau, Ebbw Vale.
Backers, including Blaenau Gwent council, have offered 320 hectares (800 acres) of replacement land.
The firm behind the project said it would regenerate the area.
A Welsh government spokesman said deputy minister for farming and food, Rebecca Evans, had granted permission to deregister the land at Trefil Las and Twyn Bryn-March Common in Ebbw Vale, subject to conditions.
Leader of the council Hedley McCarthy said: "We welcome the announcement from Welsh government and, as a council, remain fully supportive of the Circuit of Wales development and the benefits it could bring to Blaenau Gwent and the surrounding areas.
"We look forward to continuing to work closely with the developer on this exciting project."
Developer Heads of the Valleys Development Company (HOTVDC) said the approval was a "positive milestone" and was "vital" for the development to proceed.
Chief executive Michael Carrick said it would lead to improved maintenance and access to the replacement common land.
"The Circuit of Wales has the ability to generate thousands of employment opportunities, attract greater long-term investment and deliver regeneration into Blaenau Gwent and South Wales," he added.
The development aims to create 6,000 jobs and is set to host the MotoGP from 2017.
HOTVDC has said it has Asian financial backers for the project, which has a £200m private finance target to get started.
The rest of the money is expected to come from Welsh government support and local authorities.
Scotland international Morrison, 30, was due to be a free agent on 1 July but has agreed a new initial two-year deal at the Premier League club.
"I thought long and hard and spoke to the chairman many times," Morrison told BBC WM.
"It helped make my mind up and it was a big decision but I'm delighted."
Darlington-born Morrison's new contract - which has an option for a further twelve months - will take his time with Baggies to more than a decade, having joined from Middlesbrough in August 2007.
Having missed the last three months of last season though injury, Morrison admits he thought hard about which direction his future was going to take.
"I didn't like how it ended last season, just walking round the pitch and then out the door - I've worked too hard over the last nine years to give it away like that," he said.
"I've got an opportunity make it a bit more positive and I'm motivated to do that.
"The chairman's said he's planning to bring more players in and try to kick on up the league and I bought into his vision and his plans and I want to be part of that."
Directly comparable figures show the biggest gap was in the wait for hip operations, up by a fifth in 2015-16.
The average wait for hip operations in England was 76 days while in Wales it was 226 days.
But waiting times in Wales for heart by-pass surgery fell significantly.
In 2014-15 the average wait in Wales was 111 days. It fell to 43 days in 2015-16.
Overall, there were significantly longer waits in Wales in seven out of the 11 main indicators measured in Wales compared to the same indicators measured in England.
Waiting times in Wales for the treatment of cataracts and hernias were around two months longer than in England in 2015-16.
Waits for stomach operations were 11 days longer, while waits for the diagnosis for pneumonia were nearly a fortnight longer and diagnosis of heart disease was eight days longer.
But there was a 20% increase in the wait in Wales for other heart operations, which do not include by-pass surgery, compared to the previous year.
There were minimal or no differences in the waits for the diagnosis of cancer and head injuries.
There were shorter waits in Wales than in England for heart by-pass and kidney surgery.

Tim Havard, a director of the Royal College of Surgeons in Wales, said it was "disappointing" that Wales lagged behind England but Wales' population was on average sicker and older than England's.
"There continues to be a need to prevent ill-health, especially through tackling the higher rates of obesity in Wales," he said.
"However it is encouraging to see significant progress in reducing waiting times for heart by-pass operations in Wales.
"Many of the causes of longer waiting times are complex and will not be solved overnight, but this shows that when focus is given to reducing waiting times the NHS can improve access to care."
Welsh Conservative health spokeswoman Angela Burns said the wait for hip operations in Wales was "scandalous", while cataract patients were "literally going blind while they wait for a simple corrective procedure".
She urged ministers to pursue a "decisive, innovative and target-led strategy informed by science and the expertise of professional bodies in order to address the perennial issues that hold our health service back".
Plaid Cymru health spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth accused Labour ministers of "complacency and denial, pretending that waiting times are trivial and don't matter to patient outcomes".
He said paying private companies to carry out cardiac surgery had shown that tackling waiting times "can be done if there is the will to do so".
A Welsh Government spokesman said the number of people across Wales waiting over nine months for treatment had reduced by a fifth in 2016.
"We are pleased to see the big improvement in waiting times for heart by-pass, and the improvements seen in other areas, such as cataracts and kidney transplant," he said.
"We recognise there are areas where further improvements are required and have launched the Planned Care Programme to improve patient experience and deliver a strategic and sustainable approach to planned care in Wales."
These figures did not look good when we first published them a year ago, and the latest ones do not look much better now.
I suspect that behind the scenes, Welsh Government ministers will feel more confident this time around dealing with cross-border comparisons in light of the well-documented problems in the English NHS.
There has been a bitter strike by junior doctors as well as accusations that English health trusts have got themselves into financial difficulty by clearing their backlogs.
And of course there is the perennial problem of dealing with winter pressures on either side of Offa's Dyke, which kick-start a chain reaction that shows itself in the waiting times for planned surgery.
Nevertheless, none of this will be of particular concern to the 6,000 patients in Wales who last year waited on average three times longer than those in England for a new hip.
An area behind Wallace Primary School in the village of Elderslie has been cordoned off.
Police said the woman was walking between Byres Road and Glenmalloch Place at about 20:00 on Monday when a man struck her, causing her to fall over. He then sexually assaulted her.
Detectives have urged anyone with information to come forward.
The suspect was described as white, aged between 35 and 50, with dark hair, receding on top, and of medium to stocky build He appeared clean shaven and was wearing dark trousers with a light t-shirt.
Officers have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries and gathering CCTV footage from around the area.
Det Insp Harvie said: "This area is well used by local people as a shortcut to nearby shops on Main Street, it is also a popular spot for dog walkers. I am appealing to anyone who may have been in or near to the area yesterday evening, perhaps you saw someone acting a little suspiciously, maybe you saw someone running off, any piece of information could assist our enquiries and I would urge you to contact us.
"This incident will no doubt be of concern to local residents, however I would like to reassure them that additional officers are patrolling the area and anyone with any concerns should have no hesitation in speaking to them."
Ryan Webster, of Aberdeen, James Mackie, of Inverness, and Scott Hunter, of Bathgate, took up road cycling and signed up to do 150 miles for the Men United prostate cancer event.
Their padlocked bikes were stolen the day after the event, outside King's Cross St Pancras station in London.
They have now launched an appeal to raise £2,500 to buy replacements.
This is to allow them to continue to support various charities.
Mr Webster and Mr Hunter, both 28, and 30-year-old Mr Mackie bought the bikes earlier this year.
The charity cycle at the weekend took them from the Olympic Velodrome to Harwich ferry port, and then to the Netherlands to reach Amsterdam.
Mr Webster told BBC Scotland: "We have all had someone affected by cancer so it was a cause close to us all.
"We were buzzing, we had raised more than our target.
"But when we came back to the station on Sunday and the bikes were gone it was such a drop in feeling. We had thought they were secure.
"And the CCTV at the spot was facing the wrong way.
"The plan was to keep on cycling in future and raise more money for charity."
Charging for prescriptions was scrapped in Northern Ireland in 2010.
In February, Mr Hamilton's predecessor, Jim Wells, proposed its reintroduction to pay for a new specialist drugs fund.
However, Mr Hamilton said that "given the lack of consensus", such a move was unlikely "certainly in my time as minister."
Mr Hamilton told the assembly that the lack of charging for prescriptions would have financial consequences "in terms of paying for some of those very expensive new drugs and treatments that are out there".
Mr Wells had proposed bringing back prescription charges for a fund to pay for medicines that are either too expensive or too specific to be licensed for current use.
The Department of Health hoped to raise between £5m and £10m through some form of prescription charging.
The BBC understands Mourinho, 53, will replace Louis van Gaal, despite United winning the FA Cup on Saturday.
Van Gaal, 64, two seasons into a three-year deal, said last week expectations at Old Trafford were "much too high".
But Neville, 39, said he "disagrees with that", adding: "At the moment, Jose is the best man for the job."
The former England international, who played for United from 1995-2005 and was first-team coach under David Moyes in 2013-14, told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "For as long as I've known it you've got to be the best at Manchester United.
"Mourinho is a proven winner. United fans want a team challenging for the league title, they don't want a team finishing in seventh or fifth."
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Portuguese won three Premier League titles in two spells at Chelsea and has also won domestic leagues in his homeland, Italy and Spain.
Mourinho was sacked in December after champions Chelsea made a poor start to their title defence, losing nine of their first 16 matches, while he was involved in a high-profile dispute with club doctor Eva Carneiro, who was dismissed and pursued a constructive dismissal case against the club.
"When Jose finishes at a club there is a pattern where he falls out with players, gets disgruntled and the team dips," Neville said.
"I can't see him staying for too long at United - maybe two or three years seems to be his shelf life at a club - but as long as he brings success United fans won't be unhappy.
"The pressure of football management and demands from owners and supporters and media now means two to three years in a job is enough."

United last won the Premier League in 2013 - in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in charge - and have since finished seventh, fourth and fifth, missing out on next season's Champions League.
"He is not the type of manager that will come in and say this is a transitional period and finishing fourth in the league will be enough - that won't be enough for the United fans," Neville said of Mourinho, who has also managed Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
"I am a Manchester United fan and next season I want them to be winning the league. That will be the demands put on him and I am sure he will have the same expectation."
There have been suggestions that Mourinho's pragmatic style of play and confrontational personality may not be popular with the United hierarchy and supporters - but Neville says it could bring positive results.
"I know you have to manage a certain way when you're manager of Manchester United, but if you take away that brashness - and you saw that a little bit towards the end at Chelsea - you lose what Jose Mourinho is about," said Neville, who won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League with the Old Trafford club.
"He likes to create this siege mentality and that's what Sir Alex [Ferguson] did for 26 years. He told us in every team meeting that the rest of the world doesn't like you, wants you to fail, and that was the basis of our motivation in a lot of our games.
"Sir Alex did like to create a cause for the fight, with the media and with other managers. If Mourinho does that at United, the fans will take him to their hearts."
Listen to Neville speaking to BBC Radio 5 live
Van Gaal, 64, was appointed on a three-year deal in summer 2014 and arrived at United having guided the Netherlands to the World Cup semi-finals in Brazil.
The Dutchman has spent £250m on new players, including £36m on France forward Anthony Martial, and brought through several youngsters from the club's academy, such as 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford, who has been named in England's provisional 26-man squad for Euro 2016.
"Rashford has been a breath of fresh air and I think Martial is going to be an absolute superstar," added Neville.
"They are not too far away - maybe two or three players and maybe this team could be challenging for a league title."

Joe Rooney, 16, managed the feat at a tournament at County Armagh Golf Club on Tuesday.
It's hard to calculate the odds of hitting two holes-in-one but experts agree it is extremely rare.
But even though the feat helped him finish his round three under par, it was not enough to win him the Open event.
Joe, who has a handicap of two, told the BBC it was the first time he had ever hit a hole-in-one, let alone two.
"On the third hole I hit a great shot," he said.
"The ball bounced in the middle of the green, then spun out to the left and went straight in."
"I played on and was four under par at the seventh hole.
"The green is elevated a bit, but I hit the ball well - it only bounced once.
"You can't see the pin very well from the seventh, but it smacked the bottom of it and you just knew by the sound that it had gone in.
"We just all went crazy and began hugging each other and jumping around."
Joe said his achievement was almost too good to be true.
"I got a bit nervous after that - I bogied the 10th and 11th, but birdied the 12th, finishing three under par," he said.
Joe hopes to follow in the footsteps of other Northern Ireland golf stars like Rory McIlroy.
"Obviously it's every young golfer's dream to be professional, but I know it's very hard, so right now I'm just working hard and focusing on tournaments," he said.
An earlier version of this story suggested that the odds of hitting two holes-in-one in the same round are 67 million to one. Experts disagree on what the odds might be; one mathematician suggested a figure of approximately a million to one, while other experts in sport science suggested that due to the number of variables and the lack of historical data (which, in itself, may indicate the huge odds against it), it was almost impossible to make a prediction.
The 26-year-old made three appearances for Bath after joining in January, having previously played for London Welsh and Harlequins.
Though born in London, Marfo qualifies to play for Scotland through his Ayrshire-born mother.
"I'm massively excited to be joining Edinburgh. It seems to be a really exciting time at the club," he said.
"The Edinburgh front row is talked about in such high regard in rugby circles, so it's great to have the opportunity to be around those guys. Hopefully I can contribute towards making that unit stronger.
"I can't wait to get cracking."
Head coach Richard Cockerill described Marfo as "a big, powerful scrummager and carrier of the ball".
"He has plenty of promise, and we look forward to seeing him compete for a spot in the coming season," he added.
Marfo will compete for the number one jersey with three Scotland internationals - Alasdair Dickinson, Allan Dell and Rory Sutherland.
The opposition accused the government of misusing public funds, calling for a review by the chief auditor.
PM Tony Abbott has refused to deny allegations that officials handed over thousands of dollars to people smugglers trying to reach Australia.
The UN has expressed its alarm at the allegation, if indeed true.
It said UN staff had received reports that the crew of the boat had been given thousands of dollars last month by an Australian naval vessel to turn around to Indonesia.
On Saturday, the Indonesian government said that if Australia did pay to turn a boat full of asylum seekers back to Indonesia, it would mark "a new low" in its handling of immigration.
Foreign ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir also said Australia was on "a slippery slope" with regard to its push-back policy.
On Monday the Sydney Morning Herald reported that opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten had written to the auditor general to request an investigation. The auditor general, if he takes up the case, can only review the financial propriety of the use of public funds.
What happened on the boat?
The migrants - from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka - were reportedly heading to New Zealand and are being held on the remote Rote island about 500km (310 miles) north-east of Australia.
They told police that an Australian navy ship intercepted them at sea, and an immigration official on board paid them each A$5,000 ($3,900; £2,500) to turn back to Indonesia.
Local police chief Hidayat told AFP news agency: "I saw the money with my own eyes. This is the first time I'd heard [of] Australian authorities making payments to boat crew."
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Radio New Zealand reported similar allegations from passengers.
What Tony Abbott's boat rhetoric is really about
Ministers in the Australian government have come out with varying responses. Some have denied the allegations, others refused to comment, while Immigration Minister Peter Dutton at first denied the allegation but then said the government did not comment on specific cases.
The leader of the Green Party has asked police to investigate whether bribing people smugglers would be in breach of Australian or international law.
Although the controversy continued through the weekend, the government has denied acting illegally.
They say, in private, that the government fears the economy could be left in "havoc" if Britain left without agreeing any preferential access to EU markets.
But a government spokesman said they "did not recognise" the claims being made by the EU diplomats.
Theresa May warned in January that no deal would be better than a bad deal, should the EU try to impose a punitive trade deal.
The threat was seen by EU diplomats as lacking credibility because of the huge costs that might be imposed on the British economy without an agreement.
UK firms would have to follow World Trade Organisation rules, which would mean paying more tariffs on some goods and facing non-tariff barriers such as increased red tape.
One EU diplomat said he had urged the government not to repeat the "no deal" threat in its letter triggering Article 50 this week.
"They have realised that 'no deal is better than a bad deal' won't fly," he said.
"They are worried about people in this country who have an ideological and political intention of creating chaos," the diplomat added.
"The civil service has told them it would create havoc."
As an example, he said the number of customs checks on goods would rise from 17 million per year to 350 million.
Diplomats also suggested the government was becoming more pragmatic - in private - about some of its other Brexit demands.
One said that officials "don't exclude that the UK, as part of a transitional arrangement, could stay in the customs union for a limited period of time."
The diplomat said officials accepted this would allow them more time to sort of any future border arrangement for Northern Ireland.
Diplomats added they were also sensing a change in the government's rhetoric about curbing immigration from the EU.
"The British do realise that [immigration curbs] are a bad idea for British society and economy," one said. "They will focus more on control and not quantitative limits."
They added that the UK would "talk themselves out of the 100,000 thing", in reference to a government pledge to reduce net migration to below 100,000 by 2020.
Diplomats also pointed out that economic growth was picking up on the continent, meaning there would be greater competition for labour.
Earlier this month, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the UK would be "perfectly OK" if there was no agreement with the EU and the consequences were not "by any means as apocalyptic as some people like to protest."
But the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, later told MPs that the government had not made an overall assessment of what "no deal" would cost the British economy.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, warned in the FT this week that no deal would have "severe consequences for our people and our economies. It would undoubtedly leave the UK worse off".
He predicted burdensome customs checks, lorry queues at Dover, disruption to air traffic into the UK and extreme uncertainty for four million expat UK and EU citizens across the continent.
This week, the manufacturers' lobbying organisation, EEF, urged the PM to drop her threat to leave without a deal.
They said no deal would be a "risky and expensive blow" that could result in tariffs averaging more than five percent on their members' exports to the EU.
For its part, the government said it was confident of "delivering the right deal for the UK".
A spokesman said: "We are planning for and expecting a constructive negotiation and a deal on a positive new partnership that works for both the UK and the EU.
"We have also said we would not accept a bad deal which seeks to punish the UK, and that no deal is better than a bad deal."
Turnover was up slightly from £92m to £95m.
Randox is one of Northern Ireland's major exporters, shipping to 145 countries.
The firm continued to spend heavily on research and development, with total R&D spending of almost £9m.
Randox has grown rapidly in recent years.
It will sponsor the Grand National from next year as it tries to grow the consumer side of its business.
At the end of 2013, the firm bought the former Massereene army base in Antrim to develop into a manufacturing and research facility.
Randox's owner, Dr Peter Fitzgerald, bought the 1,200 acre Dundarave estate in north Antrim in 2014.
Meanwhile, another of Northern Ireland's major manufacturing firms, Norbrook, has appointed a new chairman.
Sir Ian Gibson will take over from Sir Roy McNulty from 1 August. Sir Ian has held board positions on some of the UK's biggest firms.
He has previously been chairman of Morrisons supermarkets and the publisher, Trinity Mirror.
But he wasn't the only goalscorer in the news on a weekend when one unfortunate player took an embarrassing tumble.
What else happened in Europe this weekend? Here are the stories you may have missed.
It has not been a good season for football's stretcher-bearers, and a pair of clumsy medical assistants left an injured player fuming in Israel this weekend.
In an incident similar to a similar mishap in Greece in October, the duo dumped Maccabi Ahi Nazareth's Moamen Saleh on the turf after losing their grip on the stretcher during a game at Maccabi Herzliya.
Saleh went down holding his leg, prompting the pair of stretcher-bearers to sprint on in a bid to help.
But, after one assistant had struggled to lift Saleh's weight, his colleague at the rear dumped the player on the floor and was left holding only the handles as the stretcher fell apart.
It was all too much for Saleh's captain, who took matters into his own hands by carrying his team-mate to the touchline.
Saleh did, at least, end up on the winning side as the visitors triumphed 1-0 in the second-tier game.
France has been a rich source of talent for Europe's top leagues in recent years, and Ousmane Dembele is being tipped as the country's next big star.
Leading clubs across the continent have already started taking notice of the 18-year-old Rennes winger, with Premier League leaders Leicester among those reported to have shown an interest.
But his value is likely to soar after he netted a first-half hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Nantes.
Dembele opened the scoring in the first minute and by half-time Rennes were 4-0 up with Kamil Grosicki also on the scoresheet.
Adryan reduced the arrears for Nantes in the second half and Rennes were reduced to 10 men when Giovanni Sio was sent off.
Chelsea fans are desperate to see more youngsters graduate from the Stamford Bridge academy, and one Blues teenager has finally made his mark in the Netherlands.
Izzy Brown has struggled to get close to the Chelsea first team since angering West Brom by leaving as a 16-year-old in 2013 to move to the London club.
Now aged 19, he was sent to Vitesse Arnhem on a season-long loan but injuries have limited his involvement for the Dutch side.
That was until yesterday, when Brown opened the scoring in a 2-1 win at Roda, with his side scoring a 90th-minute winner.
He controlled a long ball on his chest and turned smartly before scoring with an excellent shot.
Chelsea have high hopes for the attacking midfielder, who was picked up by West Brom as a schoolboy from Histon and became the second youngest player in Premier League history when he played for the Baggies aged just 16 years and 117 days.
Veteran striker Claudio Pizarro is already a legend at Werder Bremen and is now just one goal away from writing himself into the club's record books.
The 37-year-old is in his fourth spell with the Bundesliga side, including a loan stint from Chelsea in the 2008-09 season.
The most prolific foreign goalscorer in Bundesliga history, Pizarro became the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the German league in a midweek 4-1 win at Bayer Leverkusen.
And on Saturday, the Peru international, who returned to the Weserstadion from Bayern Munich last summer, notched with another spectacular effort as Werder Bremen beat relegation rivals Hannover 4-1 to continue their recent revival.
'Pizza' now has 12 goals in his last 11 games and needs just one more to equal the club record total of 101 scored by former Germany international Marco Bode, who helped Bremen win the Bundesliga title in 1993.
Getafe finally ended a seven-match losing streak in La Liga thanks to a 1-1 draw at Seville.
And their late equaliser also brought to an end an unwanted record for the club's longest goalless run in La Liga.
Getafe hadn't scored in their previous six games and the drought had stretched to 642 minutes before Emiliano Velazquez equalised four minutes from the end.
Harvey Price slapped Aniya Williams on the back after food became lodged in her throat at Pantside Primary School, in Newbridge.
The youngster has been given the honorary title "Dr Harvey" by schoolmates.
Aniya's mother Sinead Williams, 23, said: "He's an angel."
Aniya was eating a sandwich but when she went to have a drink some food became lodged in her throat.
"Harvey reacted immediately and whacked her on the back. He jumped up without even a second thought," teacher Kira Watkins said.
"He is a delightful little boy and is very happy and caring."
Harvey's mother Kay Price, 30, said: "We're absolutely ecstatic, if I'm honest, me and his dad.
"For a four-year-old to think quickly like that - we can't get over it.
"What if no one else had noticed? They are all making a fuss of him at school.
"The dinner ladies and the breakfast club ladies, they all make a fuss of him and call him 'Dr Harvey'."
Ms Williams said her daughter did not understand how serious the situation could have been - but she had thanked Harvey and his family for saving her life.
Ducati-mounted Melandri secured the 100th race win by an Italian rider in the series by taking his first victory of the season.
Yorkshire rider Tom Sykes was third and lies second in the overall standings.
Jordi Torres retired while lying second with Michael van der Mark fourth and Eugene Laverty fifth on his Aprilia.
After the race, Rea, 30, said he had "given it everything" in a bid to catch race winner Melandri.
"I tried to go with Marco but when I got some clear track I couldn't make up any ground and do what I wanted with the bike. The bike was completely different today," said the double world champion.
"I'm a bit frustrated with my effort as I woke up this morning really wanting to win. But well done to Marco, he rode a great race."
Welshman Chaz Davies was ruled out of Sunday's race after suffering a fractured vertebra in a last-lap crash in Saturday's first race of the weekend.
Davies' fall also took off Rea, but the Northern Irishman remounted to finish third, behind winner Sykes and fellow Englishman Alex Lowes.
The next round of the series will take place at Laguna Seca on 8-9 July.

The La La Land producers were in the middle of their acceptance speeches when the mistake was discovered.
PriceWaterhouseCooper, the accountancy firm responsible for counting the ballots, apologised for the mix-up.
La La Land still ended up the biggest winner of the night, taking home six Oscars including a best actress award for Emma Stone.
Moonlight's surprise best picture win took its haul to three, the low-budget film having earlier won the adapted screenplay award and a best supporting actor prize for Mahershala Ali.
Casey Affleck was named best actor for Manchester by the Sea, while Viola Davis was named best supporting actress for Fences.
Damien Chazelle, La La Land's 32-year-old director, became the youngest film-maker to win the best director Oscar.
Read the best bits from the speeches
Yet this year's ceremony will be remembered for its closing moments, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway arrived on stage to announce the best picture winner.
Beatty had been mistakenly handed the previous winner's envelope, containing a card that said Emma Stone had won best actress for La La Land.
It was this card that Dunaway read from, mistakenly declaring La La Land to be best picture and creating what Stone later described as "the craziest Oscar moment of all time".
In a statement, PriceWaterhouseCooper "sincerely" apologised for the error, which it said was down to the presenters having "mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope".
"We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred."
Host Jimmy Kimmel said he blamed Steve Harvey for the error - a reference to Harvey's mistake in announcing the Miss Universe winner in 2015.
It was La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz who announced there had been a mistake.
"This is not a joke," he told the audience, showing the correct card. "Moonlight is best picture."
Beatty returned to the microphone to explain he had been given an envelope with Emma Stone's name inside.
"That is why I took such a long look at Faye," the veteran actor continued. "I wasn't trying to be funny."
"Very clearly even in my dreams this can't be true," said Moonlight director Barry Jenkins. "But to hell with it because this is true. It's true, it's not fake."
Paying tribute to the team behind La La Land for the way they handled the mistake, he said: "We have been on the road with these guys and it was so gracious and so generous of them."
Speaking backstage, Emma Stone said it had been "an amazing thing to hear La La Land" named best picture.
"But we are so excited for Moonlight," she continued. "I think it is one of the best films of all time.
"Is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time? Cool! It's going to be history."
La La Land's other Oscars came for its cinematography, score and production design.
The Hollywood musical romance also won the best original song award for City of Stars, beating another song from its soundtrack in the process.
Kenneth Lonergan received the best original screenplay prize for Manchester by the Sea, which he also directed.
There were two awards too for Mel Gibson's war film Hacksaw Ridge, which was recognised for its editing and its sound mixing.

The former West Indies Test batsman, aged 42 and 240 days, hit two sixes and 21 fours in his eight-hour innings.
Overnight partner Jordan Clark departed for 140 after their stand reached 243.
Paceman Mark Footitt claimed 5-118 for the home side, who lost Scott Borthwick to the final ball of the day to close on 112-2, 358 behind.
Resuming on 294-6, Chanderpaul and Clark stayed together for another 24 overs before the latter was adjudged to have edged to Rory Burns at slip as he tried to sweep spinner Gareth Batty.
But they had already set a new Lancashire seventh-wicket partnership record against Surrey, beating the 198 by Alexander Eccles and John I'Anson at Old Trafford in 1902.
Left-hander Chanderpaul had earlier tucked Footitt away for two runs to reach three figures and he continued batting serenely through the afternoon session, despite needing a runner because of a thigh injury.
Footitt removed Stephen Parry and Kyle Jarvis in the space of three balls, with the help of wicketkeeper Ben Foakes, and Chanderpaul was finally removed when he was caught at extra cover off Batty.
After winning their opening game against Warwickshire, Surrey also made the most of a good strip at the start of their reply, with Stoneman and Burns adding 67.
Stoneman then fell lbw to Clark for 40, and although Burns survived to stumps on 48, Borthwick's exit - caught behind off Jarvis for 19 - was a disappointing ending for Surrey.
A few months ago, for £750 ($1,130; €960) he purchased a DJI Phantom drone, which carried a Go-Pro camera he could pair with his iPhone.
With some assistance from his son, Mr Christie-Webb began filming from the air the 200-odd streets where he sells properties, describing their history and styles of architecture to prospective buyers.
He is one of a growing number. Between January and October 2014, the number of organisations permitted by the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to fly drones under 20kg rose by 80%.
Drones are taking off.
"The price has dropped so much in the past year," says Roger Sollenberger of Texas drone firm 3D Robotics.
"These things were enormous, complicated, and incredibly expensive to build three years ago," he says, "and now anyone can just buy one, for less than $1,000 (£660; €840)."
Andreas Raptopoulos, chief executive of drone firm Matternet in Silicon Valley, compares the sudden drop in price of drone technology to the rise of personal computing in the 1970s.
"We're at a time where there are big mainframes - commercial aircraft - but also Spectrums and Commodores which people can acquire at low cost and do many things with," he says.
"And in coming years you're going to see the Apple-1s."
Early business use of drone technology includes aerial photography for roof surveys, monitoring of crops, forest management, or particularly heavenly wedding photographs.
Now, not only are off-the-wall models becoming cheaper, but they are being joined by an increasing number of specialised devices.
For example, in construction, US-based Skycatch (which recently raised $13.2m of venture capital funding) is developing special drones adapted for logging, mining, and construction companies to track progress on sites.
Many of the tech sector's best and brightest have been lured to the yard to play with drones.
Jay Bregman left his job as chief executive of Hailo in October 2014 to begin a drone start-up.
Wired editor Chris Anderson left the magazine in 2012 to found drone start-up 3D Robotics, or, as the magazine put it, "to spend more time with his robots". He is also the man behind online forum DIYDrones.com.
The giants are involved as well.
Both Google and Facebook are developing low-flying, solar-powered drones able to fly nonstop to provide internet signal to places in the world where it is non-existent.
Google last year gobbled a drone start-up called Titan Aerospace as part of its Project Loon. Facebook has been co-operating in a project called Internet.org with Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, Qualcomm, MediaTek and Opera.
In September, Facebook announced the project's flying wi-fi hot spots - solar-powered, and the size of Boeing 747 aeroplanes, just much lighter - could be in use by 2018.
Philippe Francken founded Bristol Drones last March.
"I must admit I was a bit bored at my old job," he says, "and basically I'm quite into technology."
He started looking at Kickstarter, a crowdfunding platform featuring many new technology start-ups, and was impressed by developments in drones, and their cost.
"It was a very minimal investment, under £500, so I couldn't go wrong - so I looked into building up a company, which turns out to be quite easy in the UK."
It was only later that he discovered the regulatory requirements for businesses using drones.
"If you do it commercially, you become an aircraft pilot basically, you have to follow a course, be a licensed operator, get the CAA involved, receive Permission for Aerial Work (PAW), get the right insurance in place, and get an operations manual," he says.
Mr Francken says UK regulators are still getting up to speed with the technology, with the occasional result of confused guidelines for operators.
But he prefers the UK's approach, in which everyone has the right to fly - as a hobbyist, up to 400ft (120m), with a visual line of sight - to the US's where, he says, "everything is banned unless you have a special licence from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)."
His company so far has focused on doing roof surveys. "A lovely old lady had a problem with a neighbour who said something in her roof needed repairing," says Mr Francken.
"It took an hour of chatting with her, flying and processing, and I had proof her roof didn't need anything at all. She didn't need to have a builder come in or scaffolding go up.'
Though drones burst into the public consciousness during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Matternet's Andreas Raptopoulos is keen to emphasise their lifesaving uses.
His company conducted field trials last year with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Papua New Guinea, testing drones' ability to ferry samples and medicines back and forth in a country where 6,000-10,000 people have a highly drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis, and roads are poor.
Matternet's next-generation drones are designed to fly independently, effectively "a computer that flies".
"You select a place on the map you want it to go, and it executes that flight in a completely autonomous fashion," says Mr Raptopoulos. Its software - much of it on the cloud, some on the vehicle - calculates the optimum path.
He predicts that once regulatory issues are resolved, drones will revolutionise small-package delivery, where the so-called last-mile of the delivery cycle accounts for 70% of the cost.
Matternet began life as a 2011 student project in Silicon Valley's Singularity University, before Arturo Pelayo and several other members splintered off to form their own company, Aria, saying they wished to pursue a more open-source approach.
They are working on base stations armed with 3D printers intended to service drones from any manufacturer.
More fully automated drones also play highly in the plans of 3D Robotics, says Roger Sollenberger.
The company is North America's largest consumer and commercial drone manufacturer, with France's Parrot and China's DJI the other two big makers.
3D Robotics and Linux have collaborated on an open-source flight code, called Dronecode.
Mr Sollenberger says drone technology has lent itself to open-source development, on forums such as DIYdrones.com, which has 50,000 members.
"About 90% of the internet runs on open-source kernels, like the Apache HTTP servers," he says.
"We want to democratise the skies."
With a burgeoning sector spurring technology development, price points are continually plunging, luring more people like Mr Christie-Webb and Mr Francken to make business out of drones.
Regulators are slowly devising procedures to integrate drones into their airspace, though the FAA appears unlikely to meet Congress's September 2015 deadline to open all US airspace.
It has so far permitted only 13 companies to operate drones commercially, including an estate agent in Tucson, Arizona, and a Washington state firm making crop-monitoring drones. The operators must hold Private Pilot licences, and the drones must remain within line of sight.
But for business in general, the next step seems to be droning on.
He was wanted by the US for tax evasion when he was pardoned on Mr Clinton's last day in office in 2001.
Mr Rich was one of the most successful traders of all time. He founded - and subsequently sold - the company renamed as Glencore in the 1990s.
He died of a stroke in the Swiss city of Lucerne at the age of 78, the March Rich Group said in a statement.
Mr Rich was born in Belgium in 1934, but his family, which was Jewish, left Europe for the US in 1941 to flee Nazism.
He founded his trading company in 1974 and became known as the "king of commodities".
But in the 1980s he was accused of tax evasion, fraud, as well as illegal trade with Iran and fled to Switzerland.
Mr Rich remained on the FBI's Most Wanted List for almost two decades, narrowly escaping capture in Finland, Germany, Britain and Jamaica,
The pardon, issued by Mr Clinton on 20 January 2001, was one of more than 200 granted on his final day in the White House.
It came after Mr Rich's ex-wife had donated money to Mr Clinton's presidential library.
Mr Clinton later said he regretted the pardon, but strongly denied that gifts had any effect on his decision.

Croft is currently in South Africa as part of England's backroom team for their one-day series in South Africa.
The England spin bowling consultant was previously Glamorgan bowling coach and has signed a rolling contract to replace Toby Radford.
"I've learned a heck of a lot in the England environment. I want to take Glamorgan forward," Croft told the BBC.
The former Glamorgan captain has won a County Championship and three Sunday League titles in his 28 years with Glamorgan.
Croft believes his experience with the current England set-up has proved invaluable.
"I feel privileged when I am invited into the England environment," he said.
"To listen to Trevor Bayliss, Paul Farbrace and Otis Gibson -it fills your notebook and you learn things, definitely.
"It reaffirms some of your own ideas too."
Croft believes he can improve Glamorgan, who finished fourth in County Championship Division Two last season, but is looking to the long-term.
"I am very excited, looking forward to it and I'm very honoured. I follow in the footsteps of some very good people," he explained.
"I want to take the county forward, to make the most out of every individual and make the most out of the team.
"We've got plenty of experience and want to integrate some of the younger players as well.
"We want a strong team. Not just for this season, but for a number of seasons."
Militants captured the Unesco World Heritage site in 2014 but were driven out last week by pro-government forces.
The jihadists filmed themselves smashing statues, raising concerns that they might have wreaked destruction on the scale seen in Nimrud and Palmyra.
But the local head of antiquities said most buildings at the site were intact.
Unesco has said the deliberate destruction of Iraq's cultural heritage constitutes a war crime.
Hatra, located 290km (180 miles) north-west of Baghdad and 110km south-west of Mosul, was a religious and trading centre of the Parthian Empire that flourished between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.
It was one of the best-preserved of Iraq's archaeological sites before it was seized by IS in 2014.
In March 2015, Iraqi officials said they had received reports from locals that IS had destroyed Hatra. The following month, IS itself released a video showing militants using picks, sledgehammers and assault rifles to destroy statues and friezes deemed idolatrous.
The full extent of the damage done was not known until Hatra was recaptured by the paramilitary Popular Mobilisation force last Wednesday and pictures emerged.
A journalist from the Spanish Efe news agency visited the site over the weekend and reported finding many destroyed statues, buildings that had been on fire, the charred bodies of several militants, and mortars stored in courtyards. There was also evidence of looting.
But Layla Salih, head of antiquities for the province of Nineveh, was quoted as saying that the destruction "does not compare with what happened at other archaeological sites" in Iraq.
A Popular Mobilisation commander also described the damage as relatively minor.
"The exterior wall was damaged, shots fired by Daesh [IS militants] left holes in some buildings, two grand halls of the ancient palace suffered fires, and shrapnel from shells affected the western part," Kasim Mosleh told Efe.
In November, a month after launching an operation to drive IS out of Mosul, Iraqi forces recaptured Nimrud. However, much of the site was reduced to rubble.
Fiona Anderson, 23, was found dead on 15 April last year next to a multi-storey car park in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Police later discovered the bodies of Levina, 3, Addy, 2, and 11-month-old Kyden, in their mother's bed at their home in London Road South in the town.
The inquest heard there was evidence they had been drowned in the bath.
When police officers visited Miss Anderson's home, they found she had written on the walls using a green marker pen, the coroner's court in Bury St Edmunds was told.
One of the messages read: "I put them to bed with their bear bears - they loved their bears."
Another read: "I love them and I'm going to keep them safe."
One more said: "They're cuddled up together sleeping. They look so peaceful."
Each of the children had a heart drawn on their torso in green ink to create the message "I love you x", Ch Insp Andy Smith told the inquest.
Police also found evidence of a lipstick kiss mark on each of their foreheads.
The heavily pregnant Miss Anderson had written the names of each child on her own body, along with the name Eve, which she intended to name her unborn daughter, the inquest heard.
Ch Insp Smith said the day before the killings, she had argued with the children's father, Craig McClelland, after he began a new relationship.
She stabbed him during this confrontation but he initially lied to police and said he had been stabbed in the street by a stranger.
Ch Insp Smith said: "He later told us he lied to protect Fiona and stop the children being taken into care.
"It is clear that Fiona Anderson loved her children but that she was extremely emotionally disturbed on April 13, 14 and 15."
He added a torn-up letter recovered after her death provided "a harrowing insight into her life".
"She felt unable to cope with the situation and apologetically outlined her intention to take her children with her," Mr Smith said.
"In her words: a mother never abandons her children."
The family had been known to a variety of care agencies since she first became pregnant in 2009, coroner Peter Dean said.
Child protection plans were in place after concerns over possible physical and emotional neglect were raised.
A serious case review by independent expert Ron Lock for Suffolk Local Safeguarding Children Board was read to the hearing.
It found the family had been considered "hard to reach" as Miss Anderson had refused to engage with children's services since her first pregnancy.
Because of her refusal to co-operate, no mental health assessment could be carried out.
"If the children had been placed into care this could have avoided this tragic outcome," Mr Lock said in the report.
A post-mortem examination found no evidence the children had been restrained or assaulted.
The coroner recorded Miss Anderson took her own life and the three children were unlawfully killed.
Mr Dean said he was satisfied Suffolk County Council had done everything it could since the deaths to improve procedures.
The original picture shows both male and female world leaders.
Some of them linking arms, ready to march at the rally, which was attended by millions after the terror attacks.
But their version printed in Israeli paper HaMevaser has no women in the line-up despite them being there.
HaMevaser abides by the rules of Haredi Judaism, an ultra-Orthodox sect which is defined by its modesty and rejection of modern culture.
It's known for its distinctive clothing of black hats, sidelocks for men and long skirts and sleeves for women.
While traditional Jewish rules respect gender separation in certain situations, Haredi Jewish rules are much stricter and the divide spills over into public places.
There are even bus routes in some areas of New York which separate men and women by a curtain.
Photos of women and girls generally don't appear in the Haredi press as it is viewed as a violation of female modesty.
It's not the first time a Haredi paper has doctored photos for publication.
In 2009 two Israeli papers removed two female ministers from a photo of Israel's new cabinet.
One of the publications blacked them out, the other replaced them with pictures of men.

Schmeichel has been linked with a move, with the Foxes having struggled in their Premier League title defence and not in next season's Champions League.
But Shakespeare says there have been "no offers" and insists the 30-year-old Denmark international is "perfectly happy" at the King Power Stadium.
"I'm not aware of any interest. He's under a long-term contract," he said.
Schmeichel, who joined Leicester in 2011, told The Premier League Show playing in the Champions League this season has made him want to do so again "even more" - but insists he can again reach Europe's major club competition with the Foxes.
Shakespeare, who replaced the sacked Claudio Ranieri in February and is in charge until the end of the season, added: "I've said before I have no problems with the players wanting to progress and play in the Champions League - which we have offered this season.
"But, ultimately, Kasper is happy here. You can see that in the way he conducts himself. He's in the form of his life and we have to cross that bridge [an offer] when we come to it."
Schmeichel kept clean sheets in five of his eight Champions League appearances this season as the Foxes reached the quarter-finals in their first campaign in the competition.
The former Manchester City and Leeds United keeper cites the European run as the positive in an otherwise "tough season" in which the Premier League champions "struggled for large parts".
"Those Champions league nights are special," Schmeichel told The Premier League Show. "There is something about the night games, going away to different cities, it makes it unique.
"It's something I hoped would come earlier in my career. The journey I've taken has made me appreciate it even more - but also want it even more."
Schmeichel believes Leicester will once again challenge for a place in Europe's elite competition but concedes targeting eighth place is now this season's goal, with the club currently 11th in the Premier League table.
Shakespeare became the first British manager to win his first four Premier League games following the sacking of Ranieri nine months after Leicester were crowned champions.
The upturn in form after the Italian's dismissal led to widespread criticism of Leicester's players, though Schmeichel insists they would never be able to "influence" the decisions of chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
"It's always tough to see," he added. "The manager takes the brunt and that's unfortunate because you can't get rid of a full squad of players.
"I was upset. We were champions of England and not getting to the level we knew we could be.
"We know the truth in the club. Of course there was anger and frustration in the sense we hadn't performed and we had to right it. We have gone a long way to doing that.
"Craig has been here a long, long time. He knows his own ideas. He hasn't really changed a lot, it's been about getting the spirits up and getting people firing again."
Giggs, 42, left his position as Manchester United assistant manager at the start of July - ending a 29-year association with the club.
Swansea have taken four points from five games this season and it has been reported the Welsh club are considering a change of manager.
Should a change be made, Giggs is unlikely to be Swansea's only option.
Since leaving Old Trafford in the summer, the Welshman has been concentrating on long-standing business interests, TV work and Salford City, the non-league club he part owns with former team-mates Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, and the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil.
The football side has been handled by long-standing representative Rhodri Burgess.
Giggs has passed all of his coaching badges and has made no secret of his desire to go into management.
He did harbour hopes of succeeding Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward chose Jose Mourinho instead when he sacked the Dutchman in May.

Revenue in the April-to-June period rose 21.3% to $21.5bn (£16.3bn), from $17.7bn a year earlier.
Net income for the quarter was $4.9bn, up from $3.9bn a year ago. Alphabet's share price rose 6% in after-hours trading,
The rise follows a 17% increase in first-quarter revenues.
Google also made progress in the video market, which has put it in fierce competition with Facebook and Twitter.
The firm's chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said it had used artificial intelligence to make better video recommendations to users on YouTube, which it owns.
Google embarked on a restructuring drive late last year and created a new parent company - Alphabet.
FAI chief executive John Delaney said he had believed they had a case against Fifa after French striker Thierry Henry's handball in the 2009 match.
Delaney said a "legitimate agreement" was made to drop the claim after Ireland missed the 2010 World Cup.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter is quitting with the organisation in crisis.
Delaney's comments come after a turbulent nine days for football's world governing body amid claims of "systemic and deep-rooted" corruption.
Fifa is facing two criminal investigations by both the US for widespread bribery allegations and Swiss authorities over the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding processes.
The Republic of Ireland were 16 minutes away from a penalty shootout for a place in the 2010 finals in South Africa when Henry handled in the build-up to William Gallas's extra-time equaliser in the second leg of the play-off in Paris.
The 2-1 aggregate win sent France to the tournament, where they were knocked out of the group stages amid a player strike.
A Fifa spokesman confirmed it had "entered into an agreement with FAI in order to put an end to any claims" against it.
But the organisation said the payment was a loan and was granted for "the construction of a stadium in Ireland".
The spokesman added that the FAI was to repay the money if Ireland qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which they failed to do. Fifa wrote off the loan on 31 December 2014.
On Thursday, the FAI said the settlement was made without any conditions and was reached "following strong legal advice", with the money going towards the new Aviva Stadium - opened in May 2010 after the old Landsdowne Road ground was redeveloped.
In a statement, the FAI said: "This is fully reflected in our financial statements, which are audited independently. The FAI accepted Fifa's settlement offer to avoid a long, costly and protracted legal case.
"The settlement has at no time influenced the FAI's criticism of Fifa, as demonstrated by our consistent criticisms of Sepp Blatter."
Delaney said he and Blatter "came to an agreement" after the Fifa president publicly dismissed the country's appeal to be made a "33rd team" at the tournament.
"We felt we had a legal case against Fifa because of how the World Cup play-off hadn't worked out for us with the Henry handball," he said in a radio interview with Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ.
"Also the way Blatter behaved, if you remember on stage, having a snigger and having a laugh at us.
"I told him how I felt about him, there were some expletives used. We came to an agreement.
"It's a very good agreement for the FAI and a very legitimate agreement for the FAI," he said.
At least 15 of the 38 people shot dead during the attack on a beach in the popular resort of Sousse were British.
None of the victims have been formally named by the Foreign Office.
Meanwhile, the family of a Trehafod man shot while protecting his fiancee say he is now "stable" and "comfortable" in hospital, after flying home.
Many British tourists returned on Saturday on special flights while the first of two scheduled flights to Cardiff arrived on Sunday morning.
Mr Jones said: "It has been shocking to hear the details of the horrific attack in Tunisia. My thoughts are with all those who have been affected by this senseless act of violence.
"I am being kept informed about the situation in Tunisia as we learn more about the identities of those killed.
"We know that at least 15 of those killed have been British, and while there have not yet been any confirmed victims from Wales, we must prepare ourselves for that possibility.
"The Welsh government is ready to offer any assistance it can as we deal with the aftermath of this tragedy."
Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, who has reported links with Islamic State (IS), opened fire on tourists at noon on Friday.
Matthew James, 30, from Trehafod, near Pontypridd, used his body as a human shield while trying to protect his fiancee Saera Wilson, 26, when the gunman began firing.
He has since flown home, his family confirmed on Sunday.
In a statement released by police, his family said: "Matthew is currently in a stable and comfortable condition - and he and his fiancee Saera are doing well, and are happy to be back in the UK.
"They wish to thank all of the medical teams in both Tunisia and the UK for all of their professional assistance, care and support."
More details have emerged of the attack, which saw Rezgui shoot at people on the beach near the Imperial Marhaba and Bellevue hotels.
He entered at least one of the hotel lobbies, where grenades were also detonated.
He then walked through the streets of Sousse where he was reportedly chased by local Tunisians, firing shots at them.
It has also been reported that local builders threw rubble down at him from rooftops as he passed by in the street. The attack eventually ended when he was shot dead by police.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered close to the scene a day after the attack for a rally against terrorism, with some holding candles and others carrying flags of the UK and Tunisia.
One of the survivors who was flown into Manchester on Saturday, has arrived back in Wales and posted on social media her family was "totally traumatised and in total shock and disbelief".
Leiha Shaw, 28, from Swansea, said: "I cannot explain to you how terrifying and frightening the past 24 hours have been for myself and my family.
"I have never in all my life been so scared and I honestly thought that we were going to lose our lives to an out of control gunman that had totally devastated so many peoples lives throughout the country.
"Although I didn't see anyone being shot I will forever be haunted by the noise of bullets and explosions that seared through the beach. My thoughts and prayers are with the families that have had loved ones murdered in cold blood."
Several other tourists from Wales have also been caught up in the attacks.
Elsewhere, Wrexham FC footballer Wes York, 22, left Sousse just 48 hours before the killings.
The striker told the Daily Post he would have been at the targeted beach, had he not cut his holiday short to prepare for pre-season training.
"I have been watching what has happened on TV and it just sends chills down your spine to think I was only just there," he said.
The force said the staff cuts, which would result in a loss of 72 posts, were a result of financial pressures.
"We have to react to financial pressures so that we can continue to serve the public in the most effective way," Chief Supt Mark Holland said.
A Unison spokesman said the cuts would have "a devastating effect" on community policing.
Nottinghamshire's police and crime commissioner Paddy Tipping, who promised to increase the number of PCSOs when he was elected in 2012, said: "We have to make significant savings to balance the budget.
"We are doing everything we can to cut back on non-staff costs.
"However, there comes a point when you have no other option but to cut back on staff numbers. It's regrettable but unavoidable."
Unison representative Dave Ratchford said "Unison will be campaigning vigorously against these cuts."
But he added: "We sympathise with the force as these cuts have been imposed by a government driven by a fanatical opposition to public services," he said.
Mr Ratchford said PCC consultations showed that 67% of residents said they would be willing to pay more for policing.
The force announced earlier that it is shutting four police stations and five front counters in Nottinghamshire to help save £2.4m from its budget.
Ch Supt Holland said: "Every community will still have a Neighbourhood Team but under our proposals it will have a different mix - including officers, PCSOs, specials, and our partners.
"By changing our model we can also make sure that our PCSOs are in the places where they are needed most."
He said combining financial and HR functions with Northamptonshire and Cheshire Police Forces had helped reduce the force's budget. | Manchester United have triggered a clause in Marouane Fellaini's contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2018.

The visitors had a goal disallowed in the first half when Stina Blackstenius' header was ruled out for offside.
Gilly Flaherty then tripped Lotta Schelin in the area but Chamberlain saved Kosovare Asllani's penalty.
England manager Mark Sampson had made 10 changes to the side that lost to Norway on Sunday.
The Lionesses looked sharp and enjoyed good passages of play but found clear-cut chances hard to come by against the Rio Olympics silver medallists.
England's best effort fell to captain on the night Jordan Nobbs, whose powerful shot from the edge of the area curled just wide of the post.
As expected with Women's Super League clubs only returning to training two weeks ago, Sampson made wholesale changes to the team, with only Chamberlain retaining her place.
The Liverpool goalkeeper once again impressed, making a string of quick reaction saves from close range as well parrying away the late penalty.
In her first England appearance in almost four years, Rachel Williams dominated the midfield, winning challenges all over the pitch.
The Notts County player, who also works as a plasterer, displayed power and strength across the 90 minutes.
With usual skipper Steph Houghton starting on the bench, Nobbs led the side and the Arsenal midfielder distributed the ball well under pressure.
And Chelsea's Millie Bright defended bravely on her first senior England start.
England now have a five-week break before they take part in the SheBelieves Cup in the United States.
They will take on the three top-ranked teams in the world; USA, Germany and France.
England face France in their opener on 1 March in Pennsylvania.
They then face the hosts in New Jersey on 4 March and European champions Germany in Washington on 7 March.
Following that, Sampson's squad are expected to play several other friendlies before their Euro 2017 campaign gets under way against Scotland on 19 July in the Netherlands.
In the meantime, the Women's Super League Spring series begins in April.

NHS East of England commissioned the investigation into the care of Ikechukwu Tennyson Obih, who stabbed Bedfordshire Pc Jon Henry in 2007.
Obih was convicted of murder and jailed for life at Luton Crown Court.
The report said the closure of an early intervention service that Obih had used was the starting point of the case.
Pc Henry, 36, was stabbed twice in the chest as he tried to arrest Obih in Luton on 11 June 2007.
He was one of four officers called to George Street, Luton, after window cleaner Stephen Chamberlain was stabbed.
Obih was under the care of the former Bedfordshire and Luton Mental Health and Social Care Partnership NHS Trust.
In the report by Verita, which was commissioned by NHS East of England, author Lucy Scott-Moncrieff said there were a series of "management and clinical failings" starting from the decision to close the early intervention service to save money.
She said: "The cumulative effect of these failings was that at the time of the incident Mr Obih's illness was untreated and his well-being was effectively unmonitored.
"We find therefore that the incident might not have occurred if he had been suitably treated and might therefore have been prevented."
Ms Scott-Moncrieff said Obih, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia in June 2004, had no history of violence.
Between February and July 2006 he was an in-patient at a recovery unit in Luton, then moved into his own accommodation under the care of the Luton Early Intervention Team.
In September 2006 the early intervention service was closed.
Obih was then transferred to Luton South East Community Mental Health Team where he received "considerably less" support and was seen 16 times in four months, compared to 36 times in two months with the early intervention team, the report found.
After this, he stopped attending a day care service, and in December 2006 it was found he had stopped taking his antiphsychotic medication.
Ms Scott-Moncrieff said the investigation found senior trust managers failed to ensure the agreed transfer process between the early intervention service and other services was followed.
The community mental health team could not offer Obih the level of care he was receiving previously and "could and should have done more for him", she said.
She added: "In the current economic climate, it is likely that other trusts may find themselves in a similar position."
Claire Lawton, associate medical director of NHS England, said: "We wish to ensure that the learning from this case can be shared as widely as possible to do everything in our power to prevent such a thing happening in the future.
"The independent report provides recommendations for specific actions to build on the improvements already made in mental health services in Luton. Action plans have been put in place by the trust and PCT and significant progress has already been made."
Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity Sane, said lessons had not been learned from previous cases.
"There seems to be no excuse for the failure of community care teams, who ignored every red alert warning that Tennyson Obih's mental state had deteriorated to a point where he posed a serious risk.
"Too often we are hearing about what can only be called 'wing and a prayer' psychiatric care, where the complex and sometimes confused arrangements between community teams fail to protect both the patient and the public.
"It is clear that lessons have not been learned from the hundreds of similar findings from independent inquiries that have been conducted into cases such as these."
In a statement Susan Doherty, Pc Henry's sister, said: "If there had not been cost cutting measures and neglect of the treatment provided to Mr Obih then perhaps we would not be here today with old wounds being opened.
"We would just like this to be the final closure of the whole traumatic and devastating episode and for his parents and siblings and Jonathan's widow and daughter.
"The loss never gets less but we are able to deal with the grief on a daily basis better over the course of time."
There are no guarantees of success and it is thought a deal remains highly unlikely before the Chinese transfer window closes on 28 February.
But the fact Stretford has travelled to China is a clear indication United boss Jose Mourinho would let Rooney, 31, go.
And if he does not leave this month it seems certain he will go in the summer.
Rooney has fallen down the pecking order at United under Mourinho.
The England captain has been made aware of interest in him from the Chinese Super League for some time, although it is not known which clubs Stretford has spoken to.
Beijing Guoan, believed to be the favourite team of Chinese President Xi, had been seen as one of the favourites to sign Rooney but sources close to the club have told BBC Sport they are not interested in signing him.
Because of new restrictions on overseas players, Jiangsu Suning and Tianjin Quanjian look like the most likely remaining options.
However, the England captain's representatives have already spoken to Tianjin Quanjian and their coach, Fabio Cannavaro, said talks did not progress.
On Tuesday, Mourinho said he did not know whether Rooney, who has only just returned to training after a hamstring injury, would still be at Old Trafford in a week's time.
It is not known whether this latest development will affect Rooney's chances of being involved in Sunday's EFL Cup final against Southampton.
They had appeared to have increased after Henrikh Mkhitaryan limped out of Wednesday's 1-0 Europa League win against Saint-Etienne.
If Rooney follows former team-mate Carlos Tevez to the Chinese Super League, it would almost certainly cost him any chance of making the seven appearances he needs to become England's most capped player.
Rooney's preference is understood to be to remain with United for the rest of his contract, which expires in 2019, but a lack of time on the pitch is forcing him to consider alternatives.
Rooney is United's record goalscorer and has won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy since joining them as an 18-year-old for £27m from Everton in 2004.
The forward, who has started only three games since 17 December, has said he would not play for an English club other than United or Everton.
Hong Kong-based player representative Christopher Atkins
The big difference between Chinese Super League clubs' transfer process and their Premier League counterparts is the preparation.
English top-flight clubs have extensive scouting departments with links around the world. They identify players months in advance, watch many live games and base their decision on an extensive process.
In CSL, the process is more agent-led. Most of the clubs are approached with recommendations for a position they are recruiting in, rather than seeking out players themselves.
Foreign players coming in on large fees are commanding three-, four-, five-year deals, even at the end of their career. They have the upper hand in negotiations and wouldn't leave European football without long-term financial guarantees.
However, the Chinese government is concerned about capital leaving the country and it is difficult for these big transactions to exist while they are trying to crack down in other areas.
I think we will see a levelling out in fees. The £15m-£20m transfers will continue to happen for the next few years, but maybe we won't see the likes of the £60m deal that brought Oscar to China.
Christopher Atkins was speaking to Mike Henson
The scheme has been published by a group led by Eileen Evason, a professor in social administration.
It comes in more than £80m under the £585m budget assigned to it as part of November's Fresh Start deal.
The scheme proposes a series of supplementary payments to carers, people suffering ill health and families on low incomes.
It also proposes that resources originally allocated to help those losing out due to tax credit cuts be used to help those affected by the introduction of universal credit.
The Evason group is also funding a system of independent advice to help claimants deal with the changes.
Prof Evason believes the regime of harsh sanctions already introduced elsewhere in the UK has led to deaths and suicides.
She hopes a monitoring and protection system here will avoid some of the worst consequences of welfare reform.
Although the overall mitigation scheme is due to last for four years, each individual claimant will get help for just one year after being deemed eligible.
Claimants who lose more than £10 a week as a result of the phasing out of Disability Living Allowance will get payments equal to 75% of their loss.
The report includes a proposal that claimants who have a conflict-related injury and are deemed ineligible for the new Personal Independence Payments should get extra points to help them qualify for help.
As expected, the mitigation scheme covers Stormont's decision not to introduce the spare room subsidy, also known as the bedroom tax.
The report also includes recommendations that Stormont should pilot strategies to tackle food poverty, potentially through a network of community food shops, social stores and supermarkets.
Prof Evason says she had a positive meeting on Monday with the first and deputy first ministers and she is confident they will adopt her working group's proposals.
She has suggested to the ministers that they should divert the £84m her group has not allocated to health and projects for vulnerable people.

And the Osprey also caused a stir with his pre-kick ritual that gathered a cult following during the tournament.
In celebration of a year of outstanding performances, here is BBC Wales Sport's re-creation of Biggar's 'dance'.
The event is part of an art exhibition at the 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, which began on Saturday 18 February.
To find and keep the pieces, worth at least £1,000 each, people must study five paintings and solve the code within them.
One of the items was found by accident so a reward is being offered to anyone who can solve the clue linked to it.
Artist Luke Jerram said he would donate £500 to a charity of the finder's choice if they could solve the mystery of the "red picture".
The fourth item, the golden train, was found by a family from Grimsby in Scunthorpe's Central Park on Friday night.
Mr Jerram said he had not anticipated so many items would be discovered in the first week.
"I was expecting two or three, something like that. What I did not expect was the response of the public would be so astonishingly positive.
"I did not expect the public would go round looking in every nook and cranny of the town to try and find the artefacts."
The Visual Arts Centre said the public response had been extraordinary.
"It has created a real buzz around the place and brought in thousands of people," said the centre's visual arts officer Michelle Lally.
The final item to be found is the gold copy of a Jurassic ammonite, an ancient marine mollusc fossil.
The five objects are replicas of pieces at North Lincolnshire Museum and were made from gold worth £1,000, but could be worth much more.
The northern state is India's most populous, with more than 200 million people. If it were a separate country, it would be the fifth-largest by population in the world after China, India, the United States and Indonesia.
Commonly called UP, the state sends the largest number of MPs - 80 - to India's parliament. It is often said that the party that wins the state rules the country.
Several prime ministers, including India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, have come from here.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is from the western state of Gujarat, also chose to make his parliamentary debut from the state in the 2014 general election when he contested from Varanasi.
And voters in the state can easily claim the credit for his Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) stunning sweep of the elections. Of the 282 seats they won, 71 were from Uttar Pradesh.
It's a three-way contest between the governing BJP, the regional Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the state's ruling Samajwadi Party (SP), which is contesting the polls in alliance with the Congress.
Since the late 1990s, the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have dominated state politics, with the Congress and the BJP pushed to the sidelines.
The family drama gripping Indian politics
Why the bicycle could decide an election
But this time, buoyed by its success in the general election, the BJP is making a serious bid for victory. The party is yet to declare a chief ministerial candidate and is banking on the popularity and charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to win the polls. Mr Modi has been criss-crossing the state, addressing election rallies and exhorting voters to give the BJP a chance.
The Samajwadi Party is led by 43-year-old Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. He led his party to victory in the 2012 state assembly polls and is hoping for an encore when the votes are counted on 11 March. His journey, however, has been far from smooth, especially in the past few weeks when he fought a very public battle with Mulayam Singh Yadav, his father and chief of the party.
As father and son fought for power in a manner likened to political drama House of Cards, the party seemed on the verge of disintegrating. But Yadav junior won the duel, and has since forged an alliance with India's main opposition Congress party. The partners have been holding joint election rallies, promising good governance, state development and free smartphones for young people.
Pitted against the BJP and the SP-Congress alliance is the Bahujan Samaj Party, led by Dalit (formerly Untouchables) icon Ms Mayawati. The four-time state chief minister, who lost power in 2012, is seeking a comeback. She is hugely popular among her community, but during her earlier stints she was criticised for spending millions of dollars to build statues of herself and other Dalit icons. This time though, she has promised to not spend money on statues and says she will work to lift millions of people out of poverty.
Because of its sheer size and numbers, UP is a key battleground. And for the parties in the fray, these elections are being seen as a do-or-die battle.
The BJP hasn't done too well in state polls since winning the 2014 general elections, so a victory here is important. Also, the polls are being seen as a referendum on Mr Modi's recent move to ban 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. The timing of the move has been questioned by many and if the party loses, a blame game is likely to begin.
A victory for Akhilesh Yadav is crucial as it will cement his position as the leader of his party. If he loses, the rebel faction led by his uncle Shivpal Yadav will get a boost. A win will also bring cheer to the Congress, which has had little joy with voters in the general election or in regional polls for the last few years.
And a win is absolutely essential for Ms Mayawati, who has spent the past five years in the political wilderness. Analysts say if she loses this time too, she risks becoming politically irrelevant and may find it very difficult to bounce back.
With 403 seats up for grabs, thousands of contestants are in the fray, fighting for a share of the pie.
More than 138 million voters will be casting their votes at 147,148 polling centres, watched over by thousands of police and paramilitary troops, during the seven phases of voting spread over a month.
Despite its political significance, UP remains among India's most backward states with millions living in extreme poverty, a lack of employment opportunities and rampant corruption.
For some voters the only tool they have to express themselves with is their vote. And during elections they come out in large numbers to use it - often against those in power.
Esa's Rosetta satellite will despatch its piggybacked Philae probe to the surface of the "ice mountain" known as 67P on Wednesday.
Controllers report both mothership and descent robot to be in excellent shape.
The landing commands on Philae have already been loaded, and an instruction was sent up on Monday evening to switch on and warm the probe.
The intention now is to leave it in an active state, ready for the separation. This is timed to occur at 08:35 GMT on Wednesday.
Touchdown should follow about seven hours later, with a confirmation signal expected back on Earth around 16:00 GMT.
But before the mission can get to this milestone, Rosetta must be primed to make its delivery run.
Rosetta mission: Can you land on a comet?
The satellite is currently moving on a long, slow arc around 67P at a height of about 30km.
At a predetermined time on Wednesday morning, it has to turn and head in towards the comet, releasing Philae on the path that will take it down to the targeted landing zone.
Executing this pre-delivery manoeuvre with high precision is the one really big issue vexing controllers.
They know their calculations for the thruster burn must be spot on. They know also that they will have very little time to assess its performance before giving the final "go" for separation.
"The point of separation is fixed in time, in space, velocity and attitude; and we have to reach exactly that point," explained Esa flight director Andrea Accomazzo.
"So, wherever Rosetta is, we have to design a manoeuvre to reach that point."
Esa's detailed landing timeline
Navigation specialists here at Esa's operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, will examine the present flight path of Rosetta on Tuesday afternoon.
They will then have the detailed information they require to implement this critical delivery dash.
But if any of the parameters are out by even a small degree, the errors will expand as Philae heads downwards.
Already, the landing zone, which is on the head of the rubber-duck-shaped comet, is considered extremely challenging.
It contains some very uneven terrain, with cliffs, boulders and a number of steep slopes.
Controllers will not want to make the probe's task even more difficult by sending it off-track.
Philae should touch the surface with a velocity of about 1 metre per second.
Foot screws and harpoons will hopefully lock it down. A small gas thruster will push the probe into the surface to give these mechanisms time to work.
"It will take a few minutes to really analyse and fully understand that, yes, we are landed; yes, the harpoons are fired and safely anchored," Stephan Ulamec from the German space agency told BBC News.
Whatever happens on Wednesday, the scope of the Rosetta mission will go through a major gear change, according to Esa project scientist Matt Taylor.
Since the satellite arrived at the comet in August, much of its focus has been on finding a suitable landing location for Philae.
With the landing now all set to occur, the emphasis can shift more towards the scientific study of the Comet 67P.
"Up until now, we have been doing science on the side, doing characterisation of the comet to enable landing site decisions.
"From this week onwards is when we start the main phase of this mission, in my view. It's all go now - so, stay tuned," Dr Taylor said.
Even if Philae fails in its landing attempt, the Rosetta mothership will continue its remote observations of 67P through all of next year.

GB teams played at London 2012 but the FA had said that it would be a one-off.
The FA has now written to its counterparts in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to ask them if they want to take part in Rio de Janeiro.
"I am absolutely gutted with the English FA," Hughes said.
"If they want to work with us they have to be more open with us and they don't seem to be keeping to agreements. I'm livid about it."
The FAW, along with the Scottish FA and Irish FA, refused to give their official backing to Team GB in 2012.
They feared a Great Britain squad could set a precedent that affected their individual memberships of Fifa and the International Football Association Board.
Despite the FAW's opposition five Welsh players - Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Neil Taylor - were named in the men's squad, with Gareth Bale ruled out of the competition through injury having been expected to take part.
Although Hughes is unhappy, he does not think the Welsh FA can block the FA's move.
"As far as the Olympics is concerned, it was not long ago that they said London 2012 was just a one-off," he added.
"Now it appears they have decided on their own to enter a team without discussing it with us.
"I don't think we will be able to block it, but why has Seb Coe and the British Olympic Association gone to England? The BOA should be more open and transparent.

"It's supposed to be the British Olympic Association, not the English Olympic Association."
The GB men's side, coached by Stuart Pearce, lost on penalties to South Korea in the quarter-finals in 2012.
The women's team also lost at the quarter-final stage, to Canada, but a crowd of 70,584 - a record for a women's game in Britain - saw GB beat group rivals Brazil 1-0 at Wembley.
Hughes is competing against English FA nominee David Gill, the ex-Manchester United chief executive, for the Fifa vice-presidency reserved for the four British associations.
He has accused the FA of reneging on a written agreement that would see Wales take over the British Fifa vice-presidency in May.
The FA claims the agreement no longer applies because under Fifa reforms the position is elected by Uefa rather than just the four home nations.
But Hughes said: "England seem to want to run everything and take over the whole game.
"But we will not let that happen - the dragon on Wales has still got flame coming out of his mouth. We are not going to be bullied."

"I jumped on top of my partner and covered us with our suitcase to protect us from the falling ceiling.
"We were afraid there would be shooting, but that didn't happen at all... I didn't here any shots... I personally didn't hear any shouting in Arabic where we were, near the check in row 8.
"There was no doubt in our minds that it was a bomb. The main thing that stuck in my head was the smoke. It smelt like fireworks... it definitely seemed like a bomb straight away."
"The ceiling collapsed behind us"
Horst Pilger was at a Starbucks in the airport after checking in with his wife and two children for their flight to Rome.
"Around 8am we heard a bang - my wife and I looked at each other thinking 'What was that?' Then there was another blast which was much louder.
"I saw a fireball coming from the car park outside. Then the ceiling collapsed behind us, which was about 30 metres away. There was dust everywhere and it was difficult to breathe.
"People were screaming and panicking.
"We decided to go across the street to the Sheraton Hotel. I saw injured people being treated."
"I saw a soldier pulling away a body. I hope he was not dead"
Tom, who is doing an internship at the airport, started his day at 08:00 local time:
"We were going to our desks, to the gate, and we looked to our left side and it looked like 15 metres from us was a big explosion. First we thought it was a billboard falling down or something. My colleague was looking and was wondering what is it, and I said 'Run, run'. We ran away; we were running very quickly...
"My colleague jumped into the carousel behind the check-in desk. I lost him because I did not know where he was.
"Then it was like a big explosion, a second one...
"I thought I was hurt or I was hit. Then there were two people who were working at the airport. They told me to come inside and locked the door.
"And behind the little gap I saw a solider pulling away a body. I hope he was not dead and just hit... I am feeling overwhelmed."
'Everyone was screaming and running... I'm still shaking'
Nils Liedtke, who was in the airport when the explosions took place, described the scene to BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"It was basically like a big bang - it felt like your neighbours upstairs are throwing something big on the floor.
"And everything was shaking, some smoke.
"It took me a second or two to realise what was going on. Everybody was screaming and running out into the taxi area, so that's what I did as well... I'm still shaking."

In pictures: Brussels explosions
"We saw lots of injured people"
Odeta Islam, from Antwerp, was in Brussels Airport this morning, dropping her mother off.
"We were sitting and having breakfast and we heard a huge blast on our right. Everyone started running. Then we heard a second blast from our left.
"There was mess everywhere and the smell of burning and smoke. There was a lot of dust and we had problems breathing so we headed to the exit.
"We saw lots of injured people.
"I saw a mum and her children injured and I offered to help her but she told me to go and get out as she was being looked after. I am a certified first aider and as soon as we got out my brother and I offered to help but by then there were ambulances and they told us they were ok.
"We were outside for a while and then we had to wait at the car park. Eventually we were allowed to leave and we are now home safe in Antwerp."
"I heard one shot fired, then someone shouted some words in Arabic"
One man who had been inside the airport told the BBC: "I heard two explosions and then the ceiling fell on us.
"I saw a woman going down the escalator - her leg was bleeding because of the shattered glass.
"I heard one shot fired, then someone shouted some words in Arabic, followed by a huge explosion. And then people started to flee towards the lifts and escalators."
"There were lots of people on the ground"
Jef Versele, 40, from Ghent, told the Press Association: "I was on my way to check in and two bombs went off - two explosions.
"I didn't see anything. Everything was coming down. Glassware. It was chaos. It was unbelievable. It was the worst thing. People were running away. There were lots of people on the ground. A lot of people are injured.
"The bomb was coming from downstairs. It was going up through the roof. It was big.
"About 15 windows were just blown out from the entrance hall."
"My hearing will be damaged"
David Crunelle, from Brussels, told the BBC: "While dropping off my luggage two explosions happened right next to me. Two or three seconds between the two explosions.
"They happened in the departure (area) for international flights... My hearing will be damaged because of the sound of the explosions.
"I've seen many people injured around me, including children - really, really injured and covered in blood, people outside on the floor. So I'm really lucky."
Watch: Passengers are evacuated from Brussels metro station following blast
"People were running out of the station covered in blood"
Darren Hayes, from London, is staying on the Rue Philippe Le Bon, Brussels - near Maalbeek metro station.
"My partner lives in Brussels. I am visiting for the week. I went to the market this morning and passed Maalbeek station as it happened. People were running out of the station covered in blood and injured.
"There was chaos.
"I was told to get indoors and stay there. At one stage I heard lots of people shouting very loudly, and then some people grabbed the injured and ran further away from the station down the side streets where I am.
"Now I am in the flat and they have cordoned off the area."
"We felt a blast of air and my ears popped"
Evan Lamos was travelling towards Maelbeek when the metro train he was on was evacuated.
"We felt a small blast of air and my ears popped. The blast of air was not that big, it was something similar to if you stood in front of a fan.
"The metro immediately stopped, the lights turned off, the engine turned off. And a message came over the intercom saying there had been a disturbance on the line, and they were working to resolve it. That continued for about three or four minutes.
"There was a lot of apprehension and nervousness - I think a lot of people were reading about the news of the explosions at the airport.... then someone came from the front of the metro to the back, and opened up the door, installed a ladder and started evacuating people."
"The glass doors were blown out"
One witness told Belgian broadcaster RTBF: "We left Maelbeek station towards the centre at around 09:07 or 09:10 when we felt an explosion which appeared to come from the front of the train.
"The lights went off, there was panic given what happened at Brussels Airport.
"The doors of the train were forced open to get off the train. There was a lot of smoke. We left via Maelbeek station. The glass doors were blown out. The explosion must have been violent."
"We have numbers of policemen with AK-47 style weapons"
Steven Woolfe, an English MEP for the UK Independence Party, was in an office near the underground station.
"I heard a very loud bang that was like a car exhaust exploding. The building shook a little bit. As we opened the door you could start hearing car horns going off and see people moving away from the metro. Within a short period of time the police were on the ground in their distinctive uniforms, ushering people away.
"There were a couple of people with cameras trying to take photos but the police were firm in pushing them away.
"Here in the parliament area we have numbers of policemen with AK-47 style weapons."
Staff at HMP Norwich realised a drugs trolley was unlocked and the medication had disappeared in the early hours of 3 December, according to a prison report.
A Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesman said an investigation into what happened was currently taking place.
The MoJ added it could not say what drug had been removed from the trolley. It said: "We will take action against anyone found to have been involved."
An officer observed a prisoner walking around the landing near the centre at 00:10 GMT, according to the prison report.
"He escorted him back to his dormitory where he found the gate was unlocked," the report said. The officer then conducted a search of the cell before locking him up, it adds.
At the same time, nursing staff discovered the drugs trolley kept in a side room in the centre was unlocked.
"On a further check it was established that a quantity of medication was missing and unaccounted for," the report stated.
NHS England appointed Virgincare to run the health centre in April 2014.
Earlier this year, inspectors found that Class A drugs were intercepted at the prison. Their report revealed that a member of staff was sentenced for "illegal provision of drugs to prisoners for cash".
The Independent Monitoring Board found that healthcare had "improved after an uncertain start to the new contract with Virgincare", but said there were "too many agency staff" running the centre.
A spokesman for Virgincare said: "Following an incident at HMP Norwich, we are currently taking part in a joint investigation into the circumstances."

Huge plumes of ash and smoke have been seen rising from the crater.
Farmers have been harvesting their crops as quickly as they can in case they are destroyed.
Froome has been subjected to sustained scrutiny since his Tour win in 2013, with some sceptics using power data to justify their case against him.
The 30-year-old Briton has always insisted he is a clean rider.
"We think someone has hacked into training data and got Chris's files," said Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford.
"We've got some legal guys on the case. I would never mention a name but ethically and morally if you are going to accuse someone of doping, then don't cheat."
Froome said critics on social media who try to interpret power data are "clowns", adding that it means nothing without context. He has also said he is prepared to be a spokesman for drug-free sport.
With Froome leading this year's Tour by 12 seconds going into Tuesday's 167km 10th stage, Brailsford says he is braced for more questions over doping.
"It's part of the game, isn't it?" he said. "If he does well [on Tuesday], the rest of the Tour it's 'how do you know he's not doping?'
"The question of how to prove a negative is always going to be a difficult one.
"I used to worry about it a lot more, but I don't any more. It's part of the game. Just try to be honest, tell the truth, be open."
The Langham Dome in North Norfolk, one of only six training domes in the country, was built in 1942 and sits on the edge of a former RAF base.
Film of enemy planes was projected on its walls to simulate target practise.
It is being restored thanks to £200,00 from English Heritage and £426,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Source: BBC and friends of Langham Dome
Once renovations are completed, the dome will open to the public as an education centre.
John Ette, from English Heritage, said the concrete used to build it had suffered severe decay.
The metal rod and mesh sub-structure was also decaying.
"It's required an absolutely innovative technique to run a current through it to drive the moisture out," said Mr Ette.
"Then it has to be refaced, so it's actually quite a technically difficult job and it's taken years to build up the right expertise."
Patrick Allen, from the Friends of Langham Dome - the organisation instrumental in securing the grants for the dome's restoration - said it was the culmination of 20 years' work.
"Future generations can come in here and hopefully will be able to learn what went on in 1940 to 45 in Langham," he said.
"Langham went from a village of 200 people to 2,000 people living here during the war, so it was quite an upheaval for the village.
"I think it's important to remember this," added Mr Allen.
Brendan Conway, 28, is accused of charges including causing or inciting children aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity and possession of indecent photographs of young children.
Police said the charges relate to at least three children.
The chef, from Alvaston in Derby, was remanded in custody and will appear at the city's crown court on 24 April.
He appeared before magistrates in Derby via video link.

The proportion of passengers happy with their journeys fell from 82% in spring 2014 to 80% in spring 2015, a Transport Focus survey suggested.
Some 96% on First Hull Trains were satisfied - the highest in the country.
By contrast, satisfaction was just 72% on Southern and 74% on Govia Thameslink.
Michael Roberts, director general of the Rail Delivery Group which represents train operators and Network Rail, said: "Too often many passengers are not getting the service they deserve, and for this we are sorry.
"More than almost anything else passengers want trains to be reliable and run on time. After years of improvement overall satisfaction has fallen, largely due to delays in London and the south east and how we deal with those delays."
Transport Focus, formerly known as Passenger Focus, spoke to 31,000 rail travellers.
It found below average satisfaction on services run by:
Services with higher satisfaction included:
Satisfaction for operators in London and the south east of England dipped from 80% in spring 2014 to 78% in spring 2015.
The biggest decline on these routes was a 5% dip in passengers who felt train companies dealt well with delays.
And just 45% of rail passengers across the survey thought the price of their ticket represented value for money - similar to the figure for the previous year.
Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith said: "Commuters will not be surprised at these results. Long-term plans and investment are important and welcome - how the work is carried out, though, is crucial.
"The London Bridge rebuilding scheme in particular has caused problems. We're now working with train companies and Network Rail to try and minimise the impact on commuters."
Office of Rail and Road chief executive Richard Price said there had been "marked improvement in passenger satisfaction" in the past decade.
He added: "In the past year, however, we've seen overall scores dip significantly. Passengers are telling us that reliability and punctuality of trains remains their primary concern."
The Mayor of London's office said the potential move followed "record low" numbers of fires and related deaths in the capital.
Removing the engines, out of use for more than two years, could save £8.1m from the 2016/1017 budget.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it had received a letter from the mayor and would respond in due course.
The engines are likely to be cut from service after a public consultation in which 70% of 1,478 respondents - including members of the public and LFB staff - voted to maintain the number of engines and fire stations in the capital.
A spokesperson for London Mayor Boris Johnson said the engines had been held back for two-and-a-half years and in that time, response times had "continued to be comfortably met".
She added: "The savings achieved by their permanent removal would allow more money to be invested in frontline officers and help fund vital long term work to continue reducing the number of fires and deaths in the capital for many years to come."
Mr Johnson is to direct the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) to follow earlier recommendations by the Fire Commissioner and start to make an official plan to implement the cuts.
LFB, which has been asked to make a total of £11.5m savings for the coming financial year, said it would respond to the mayor via the LFEPA.

What he'll hand over to his host to share with the 27 other guests is the "British problem". This is the important moment that it becomes the EU's shared problem.
Gone are the days when Europe's politicians and officials could kid themselves that if they waited long enough the British would change their mind or change their government.
They now know that, like it or not, there will be a renegotiation of the UK's membership of the EU followed by a referendum.
This will not, though, be the moment David Cameron spells out a detailed negotiating position, let alone begins haggling with his fellow leaders over what he will and will not accept.
He fears that if he did that now it would simply be an invitation for his opponents in Europe to chip away at his demands and for his critics at home to proclaim that he's demanding too little and already failing.
Besides, Europe's leaders have enough on their minds - with the Greek crisis still unresolved and the EU's migration crisis getting steadily worse.
His aim, instead, is to get the formal agreement of this EU Summit that it is now the job of the man in the chair - President Tusk - to add solving the British problem to his 'to do' list.
Yesterday he appointed a top Eurocrat - a Brit as it happens - to do just that.
How easy will that prove to be? The short answer is - not easy. Here's a few examples of why:
David Cameron believes that changes to the EU's treaties are necessary not just to implement the changes he wants but to convince Eurosceptics that his demands are not cosmetic.
Other EU leaders - the French president in particular - are already resisting this, fearful that it will invite other countries to make their own demands and that it will trigger unpredictable referendums in other countries.
The prime minister says he no longer wants Britain to be bound by this EU ambition. Some see this as mere symbolism but he sees it as critical to assuaging the anger of those, particularly older, voters who feel they were lied to when they were told that Britain was joining a "common market" and not a much wider political project.
Cameron hopes the change will allow him to assert that Britain is not and cannot be forced to join a European project which dreams of creating a single country with its own flag and anthem, elected parliament and army and, of course, a single European currency.
The phrase is, though, not only symbolic. It has legal status. The EU's other leaders will be reluctant to agree to something which they fear will allow Britain to claim the benefits but not share the costs of co-operation.
The PM has tried to make his proposals on immigration - the issue that upsets voters more than any other - more acceptable to the rest of the EU.
He has dropped proposals drawn up by the home secretary for a cap on EU migration or a so-called "emergency brake" which would allow any country to block their borders if too many people were arriving.
He's insisted that he's signed up to the key EU principle of freedom of movement. He's aiming instead for changes to the rules on welfare.
However, even his proposals to stop child benefit being sent abroad or to stop anyone who has not lived here for four year from claiming tax credits are hitting resistance from countries like Poland, who see them as designed to discriminate against their citizens, and others who believe the UK should simply reform its own over-generous benefits system and stop blaming everyone else.
There is more to the "British problem" than that short list.
This then is not the sort of gift that will be received with much enthusiasm at tonight's summit dinner. The prime minister will try to wrap it up with a cheery message.
Britain, he will insist, no longer wants to slow down or stop the rest of the EU pulling closer together if that's what they want to do.
Indeed, he'll argue that that's the only answer to the continuing problems of the eurozone.
His big ask is that the EU finally accepts that the UK will, though, be no part of that - not now and not ever.
After that he may share what I'm told is the favourite bit of advice he's picked up on his recent whirlwind tour of EU capitals.
It's a phrase used by Finland's prime minister which is said to capture David Cameron's desire to postpone protracted public negotiations for as long as possible and move instead into a long phase of private, behind the scenes, low key discussions about the best way forward.
He does not want to do now what can wait until later or, as they say in Finnish: "There is no need to skin the bear before Christmas".
Hawkins, the pre-race favourite over the 10km course at Falkirk's Callendar Park, broke away on the first of three laps to win very comfortably.
Chris Jones of Dundee Hawkhill was second ahead of Shettleston's Lachlan Oates.
It was Hawkins' second success at an event that has also been won by big brother Derek. Both are coached by father Robert, and the younger sibling, still spattered in mud as he signed autographs for fans waiting at the finish-line, reflected on the overall feel-good factor in Scotland.
"We had 15 Scots at the Olympics. And that, at least in my lifetime, is unheard of. And now Laura Muir, Andrew Butchart and myself - running the kind of times we are - it's just a snowball.
"Everyone is just bouncing off each other and it's just great for the sport in Scotland."
The next target for Hawkins is the New York half-marathon on 19 March, then the focus switches to London in August.
"Hopefully I can improve on what I did in Rio," he said.
Hawkins' win was the final act in a frenetic day in Falkirk, where well over 2,000 athletes splashed their way around a sometimes sodden track in all the various age-group races.
There was a fine victory in the main women's event for Morag MacLarty, who says making it into next year's Scottish Commonwealth Games team could be tougher than the trials for Rio.
It was a first senior cross-country title for the 31-year-old Central AC athlete, who won with a fine piece of front running to see off the defending champion, and Rio Olympian, Beth Potter. Lothian's Sarah Inglis took the bronze medal.
"I'm very injury-prone," said MacLarty. "My physio just identified a leg-length difference and she's been amazing. She's keeping me in one piece so I've been able to get a few months' consistent training which I've never had for as long as I can remember so I'm excited to see what I can do if I keep myself in one piece.
"Getting in the Scottish team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast is going be crazy. The Scottish team is so strong, if you're looking at the 5,000m for women. So I don't know; I'm going to have to see what event I'm going to go for first . It will be a bit of a tall order."
Chloe Keegan, 41, of Marsden Terrace in Ramsey, failed a breath test after crashing her car into a field in Sulby on 18 April.
She was ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service and was banned from driving for six years at Douglas courthouse on Tuesday.
Keegan resigned from her job with the Manx force after the incident.
Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes said her actions had undermined the work of the police when it came to tackling drink-driving.
The disruption is across counties Tyrone and Londonderry.
Normal out-of-hours repairs are not being carried out because of the dispute over pensions.
NI Water said it would try to minimise disruption, but resources were limited. The company has a postcode search on its website for customers to check for information.
The areas still affected:
Omagh: Carrickmore, Dungannon (Sultan Road), Glenhull, Greencastle, Loughmacrory, Mountfield, Omagh (Camcosy Road, Gorticashel Road, Cairn Road, Cloghan Road, Fernagh Road, Green Road, Striff Lane), Pomeroy (Camlough Road and Loughmallon) and Sixmilecross.
Draperstown: Cahore Heights and surrounding areas
Pomeroy: Sluggan Road, Bardahessiagh Lane
An alternative water supply is available in the following locations:
Greencastle: Maryville, Sheskinshule, Omagh, BT79 7QW (near Greencastle and Crockanboy Road junction)
Creggan: Creggan Visitors Centre, 182 Creggan Road, Carrickmore, BT79 9AA
Mountfield: Main Street, Mountfield, BT79 7PP
Loughmacrory: Loughmacrory Community Centre, Ballybrack Road, Loughmacrory, BT79 9LU
Carrickmore: Creggan Road and Barony Road crossroads (at the layby opposite the filling station), BT79 9BL
NI Water said customers will need to bring their own containers to collect water from the tanks.
Customers are also asked to boil the water before use.
Patricia Gray lives outside Draperstown, County Londonderry, and has been without water since Thursday morning.
"We've had two short spurts of water this morning for about half an hour, on Saturday, for about one hour and that's it. This is day four.
"It's the coldest snap in the winter and we can't even heat the house because of the pressurised system that uses the water.
"We've had three or four inches of snow.
"There's six of us in the house altogether, three teenage girls who shower and wash their hair everyday.
"It's awful, it's just got to the point where it is really frustrating and everybody is very angry in this area that nothing seems to be getting done.
"We're rate payers, we're paying for a service that has just let us down completely.
"We're quite rural, this would never be allowed to happen in Hillsborough. Belfast wouldn't be crippled the way we are.
"Apologies really are no good for us. People are running a multi-million pound company and it's just not good enough."
NI Water chief executive Sara Venning said: "It is completely unacceptable that this industrial action is aimed and targeted at customers."
She added: "We made an offer on Friday and we asked that while they consider the offer they put in place arrangements to protect the public drinking water supply.
"They refused to do that, and we see these interruptions to supply as a direct consequence of their refusal."
NI Water said as a result of the industrial action, unions were only allowing their staff to work between eight and four during the week, so outside of those hours, there was no cover for the water treatment works or the distribution works.
Ryan McKinney of the public service union Nipsa said NI Water had put forward what they said was a "final offer" on Friday, but it was not enough to suspend their industrial action.
"If that offer had been one that we felt would have been accepted by our representatives and the wider membership, we would have been in a position to reinstate the emergency protocol," he said.
"However, it's quite clear to us that the offer falls well short of the main demand of the workers in this dispute - it would mean they would have to accept the pension changes this year, and there's no package that ameliorates any of that."
He said more talks would be held with NI Water this week, and it was important to resolve the dispute.
"When I speak to our members, who after all are also affected when an area loses water, they say to me, 'why should we reinstate goodwill?' When was the last time they got any goodwill from the company?
"When workers in an important public utility decide to take action, unfortunately that will pit them against other working people as well, and all of them are really being affected by the government's decision."
Last weekend, about 10,000 customers in counties Fermanagh and Tyrone were left without water after a pump at a treatment plant in Enniskillen broke down.
Nipsa, Unite and GMB members voted last month for a work-to-rule and withdrawal of on-call services and overtime in a row over pensions.
NI Water said it remained "committed to continued engagement" with trade unions in an effort to resolve the dispute.
ITV offered 236p a share for the company, valuing it at more than £1bn.
But the Canada-based film distribution and TV production company said the bid "fundamentally undervalues the company and its prospects".
Entertainment One owns more than 40,000 film and television titles, including last year's Oscar-winning Spotlight and AMC drama Fear the Walking Dead.
In all, it has 4,500 hours of TV programming and 45,000 music tracks. Its library is valued at more than $1bn.
Shares in Entertainment One jumped almost 10% on Tuesday and rose a further 7% on Wednesday to 234.40p.
In a statement, ITV said it had "a clear strategy that, over recent years, has created significant value for shareholders".
"A key part of that strategy is continuing to build a scaled international content and global distribution business, with a focus on US-scripted content.
"ITV believes that the proposed combination with eOne has strong strategic rationale and would further accelerate ITV's rebalancing of the business."
Neil Wilson, markets analyst at ETX Capital, said: "ITV will be disappointed that's bid for Entertainment One has been rejected, but it can hardly be surprised.
"ITV may well fatten up its bid - Entertainment One was valued at close to 368p in July 2015, before its main backer Marwyn Value Investors sold off a big chunk of its holding.
"Around this time Entertainment One began a series of acquisitions that has hit its price, while a refinancing plan in December sent the stock plunging 20%."
ITV chief executive Adam Crozier has said the company is striving to build "a global production business of scale" in an attempt to reduce its reliance on advertising revenue.
Shares in ITV have fallen almost 30% this year and it was particularly hard hit following the Brexit vote in June.
The broadcaster has made a series of acquisitions to bolster the ITV Studios division, which last month reported a 31% rise in revenues to £651m.
ITV Studios makes programmes including Coronation Street, Come Dine With Me, Hell's Kitchen, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the Jeremy Kyle Show.
Last year, ITV bought Talpa, the production company that makes The Voice. The UK version of the talent show will move from BBC1 to the commercial broadcaster in 2017.
Mr Wilson added: "Terrestrial TV is coming under huge pressure from on-demand services like Amazon Prime and Netflix, which also own a lot of their own content.
"ITV has been snapping up production companies as it clearly understands content is vital for its future, but it too could be the subject of a takeover.
"A sharp fall in its share price this year and the collapse in sterling since the Brexit vote has left it wide open. The cheap pound makes unique UK assets like ITV very desirable."
The Irish News has a picture of an industrial yard in County Fermanagh with "a row of biomass boilers" inside.
The paper says when it visited the premises last week, the door was open while the boilers burned inside.
The owner said it was for an industrial process and was not an abuse of the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme.
The Belfast Telegraph says that, for the second time in less than a year, taxpayers will have to foot the bill for MLAs who will not be returning to Stormont after an assembly election.
More than £1m was handed out to 33 former MLAs after last May's election, it says, as each are entitled to payouts of up to £80,000 to help them adjust to life outside politics.
This time around, there will be 18 guaranteed payments as the number of MLAs is cut from 108 to 90, with other payouts for MLAs not standing this time or who lose their seats. Inside, the paper lists the MLAs given payouts in 2016 and what they received.
The News Letter focuses on DUP special adviser (SPAD) John Robinson's response to allegations by Jonathan Bell in relation to the RHI scheme.
Mr Robinson has admitted his father-in-law is an RHI claimant, but said he had never advised anyone to join the scheme.
Inside, the paper reports on DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds' comments in the House of Commons that the 2 March election is about the Troubles and Sinn Féin's desire to see former soldiers prosecuted, rather than about the RHI scheme.
The Mirror leads with Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams' accusation that former first minister Arlene Foster has betrayed the Northern Ireland electorate over Brexit.
Mr Adams says it was Mrs Foster's "duty" to uphold the wishes of the majority in Northern Ireland who voted to remain in the EU.
Moving away from politics, the Belfast Telegraph, Irish News and News Letter all report on the brother and sister critically injured by a car after getting off a school bus in County Antrim.
The Belfast Telegraph also carries an interview with Joanne McGibbon, whose husband Michael was murdered by dissident republicans in north Belfast last year.
Joanne took her four children to Disney World in Florida as a Christmas surprise. She says she and Michael had often talked about taking the children to the resort, and it was bittersweet making the trip without him.
Also on the subject of dissident republican violence, The Irish News reports that the bomb defused by the army in the Poleglass area of west Belfast at the weekend is believed to have been of a type not previously used in Northern Ireland.
The paper's security correspondent Alison Morris says this may have contributed to the length of time it took to make the device safe.
Meanwhile, the News Letter quotes former senior police officer Norman Baxter as saying there should be "public outrage" over the judiciary's handling of the case against 40-year-old Damien McLauglin.
The Ardboe man, who is out on bail charged in connection with the murder of prison officer David Black, has not been seen by police since November.
Finally, the paper has the story of the Matchett family from Waringstown whose Mercedes Benz parked in their driveway has been left unusable - by rats.
The rodents have chewed through electrical wiring and seats after apparently getting access through the exhaust and boot. James Matchett said he encountered one of them while vacuuming the vehicle.

Atlantic puffins, European turtle doves, Slavonian grebe and Pochards are also on the list.
This doubles the number of UK species on the critical list to eight different birds.
The Atlantic puffin population is still in the millions, but fewer young birds are surviving long enough to have babies.
The environmental organisation says numbers of turtle doves have fallen in the UK by 90 per cent in the past 40 years.

Zhi Min Soh, 23, was struck on Edinburgh's Princes Street, at its junction with Lothian Road, at 08:30 on Wednesday 31 May.
Pedal on Parliament have asked for "a short, respectful protest" at the scene exactly a week on from the accident.
Cyclists have previously branded the tracks "an accident waiting to happen".
Ms Soh, from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, was a medical student at Edinburgh University.
She was described as "talented and thoughtful". The university said it had lost "a bright star of the future".
A Pedal on Parliament statement said: "We and every other cyclist we have spoken to personally and online are angry as well as saddened at this death.
"Edinburgh's tram tracks have been described as an accident waiting to happen from the moment they were unveiled.
"As a result, hundreds of cyclists have been injured from falls on the tracks, and thousands more have had close shaves, putting many off cycling those roads at all.
"This is a sorry record for a city that aspires to be the most cycle-friendly in Scotland. We should not have had to wait for a young woman to die for there to be ministerial action, and a review."
It comes after lawyers claimed warnings about the safety risks which tram tracks in Edinburgh pose to cyclists have been ignored.
City of Edinburgh Council said it has made "every effort" to raise awareness about the tracks.
Customers who use the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) or NatWest mobile banking app can now request cash, up to £100, via their smartphone.
They are given a six-digit code to enter into an ATM to release the cash.
A similar system has been developed by cash machine operator NCR. This requires users to scan a barcode to withdraw the money.
The services are the latest developments in a long-predicted move towards the smartphone becoming a digital wallet.
RBS said that its new system would help customers who had forgotten their bank cards, or who wished to send cash to family members in a hurry.
It would also allow the people to leave their wallets at home in favour of taking a mobile phone, it suggested.
"It is a really simple and secure way to help our customers get cash whenever and wherever they need it," said Ben Green, head of mobile at RBS and NatWest.
The service is available to customers who have downloaded the bank's free app and use the 8,000 RBS, NatWest or Tesco branded ATMs in the UK. Some 2.6 million people have installed it on their smartphone so far, the bank said.
At present, customers using a card can withdraw up to £300. Initially the limit on the cardless withdrawal will be £100.
Access to the app requires a password, and the withdrawal code will be hidden until the user taps the screen. This is aimed at preventing thieves from looking over the user's shoulder to steal the code.
The system is an extension of a RBS service that allowed people whose card had been stolen to access emergency cash from an ATM.
The bank is also unveiling a system which allows customers to make charity donations at its ATMs.
In a separate development, NCR has announced that it has developed software that allows people to scan a barcode on their smartphone at an ATM to release an amount entered in their smartphone.
It is looking for banks and building societies to adopt the software.
Blindwells, next to the A1, is a site near Prestonpans, Cockenzie and Port Seton.
Plans for 1,600 houses makes Blindwells one of the largest residential developments to be given the go-ahead in Scotland in recent years.
Developers are planning 480 affordable homes on the site.
The proposals include a mix of uses including 25 acres of employment land that will bring more than 100 jobs to Blindwells, a new primary school, and in the longer term a High School, a new park and ride, a site for a new rail halt, playing fields and more than 10 miles of paths through the parkland and open space.
Hargreaves, which owns the site, has been working on the project with East Lothian Council since 2013.
Iain Slater, development and estates director for Hargreaves, said: "We are obviously delighted that East Lothian Council has approved our application and we look forward to starting the construction work soon.
"I would like to thank East Lothian Council for its co-operation in helping realise the original vision for a new community at Blindwells.
"East Lothian is one of the most attractive places to live in the UK, and Hargreaves has worked hard to ensure that we create a high quality new community of which the council and residents can be proud."
Long term plans for the site include 3,200 homes built over 15 years.
The 38-year-old is the club's longest-serving player, making 171 appearances in almost five years at St Andrew's.
The former West Bromwich Albion defender played 25 times last season as Birmingham avoided relegation to the third tier on the final day.
Robinson will continue to help as a coach at the club, having previous assisted Blues' under-23 side.
Champions Toulon had gone into the final round of games as group leaders, but Wasps leapfrogged them on points scored in their two meetings.
Saturday's game was evenly poised at half-time, with the hosts taking a narrow 15-10 lead.
But Wasps ran in 36 unanswered points in a superb second-half performance.
Toulon had to settle for second place in Pool Five, and go through as one of three runners-up.
Wasps will now play the winners of Pool Two in the quarter-finals and could secure a home tie, depending on Sunday's results.
Wasps seemed unlikely group winners after being drawn alongside three-time European champions Leinster and Toulon, as well as last year's Premiership finalists Bath.
But the Coventry-based outfit went into the final game, against an under-performing Leinster side, knowing a win would see them through.
Dai Young's team got off to the worst possible start after only two minutes at the Ricoh Arena, when a rapid break saw Zane Kirchner go over in the right-hand corner for the visitors.
But the Irish province, who finished bottom of the pool, lost influential fly-half Johnny Sexton to concussion after only 10 minutes and their afternoon began to unravel.
Jimmy Gopperth converted his own try and England's Joe Launchbury, on his return from concussion, also went over to put Wasps ahead.
While Wasps front-rower Lorenzo Cittadini was in the sin-bin, an acrobatic inside pass by Rob Kearney saw Eoin Reddan score Leinster's second, but it was to be their final points of the match.
Elliot Daly will head to England's Six Nations training camp on Sunday off the back of a man-of-the-match performance which included a sensational try.
The Wasps outside centre, as yet uncapped at international level, raced diagonally from 40 metres out, beating Rob and Dave Kearney, to touchdown his side's third score of the game.
The bonus point came via a penalty try and Leinster's defence crumbled again as Daly sent wing Frank Halai over.
Full-back Charles Piutau showed his pace to cross with 10 minutes remaining, before Ashley Johnson stepped off the bench to heap more misery on Leinster, who were handed their heaviest European defeat to date.
Speaking about Daly's influence on the game, director of rugby Young said: "He showed what a threat he is against the best in Europe.
"He's also been excellent at the bread and butter stuff like defence that you expect from an international centre.
"He was outstanding and while I don't select the England team, I don't think he can do any more."
Wasps: Charles Piutau; Josh Bassett, Elliot Daly, Brendan Macken, Frank Halai; Jimmy Gopperth, Joe Simpson; Matt Mullan, Edd Shervington, Lorenzo Cittadini; Joe Launchbury, Bradley Davies, James Haskell (capt), George Smith, Sam Jones.

The World Bank's Global Findex report said more than half of adults in the world's poorest areas still have no access to the financial system.
This is despite a global increase of 11% in the last three years of adults owning bank accounts.
The increase in account ownership has been driven largely by developing countries and the role of technology.
Broader access to the financial system can "boost job creation, increase investment in education" and is "critical to ending global poverty", said the report.
It also found that the gender gap in financial inclusion is not narrowing. The largest gap was in South Asia, where 37% of women have an account, compared with 65% of men.
Mobile money accounts - making and receiving electronic payments via a mobile phone - in Sub-Saharan Africa contributed to the growth in account ownership, which now stands at 62% of adults globally, up from 51% three years ago. The World Bank said this presents "big opportunities for boosting financial inclusion among women and poor people".
World Bank Group president Jim Yong Kim said: "Access to financial services can serve as a bridge out of poverty. We have set a hugely ambitious goal - universal financial access by 2020."
Tulsa officer Betty Shelby was booked into the county jail early on Friday and released minutes later on bail.
Prosecutors say she "reacted unreasonably" when she killed 40-year-old Terence Crutcher on 16 September.
North Carolina police, meanwhile, are under mounting pressure to release video from another fatal shooting.
Tulsa has been spared the unrest seen in the city of Charlotte this week after a black policeman shot a black citizen.
US race riots: Five ways to rebuild trust
Tulsa shooting: The inconsistencies
The Tulsa County affidavit, filed with the charge against Officer Shelby, accuses her of "escalating the situation from a confrontation with Mr Crutcher".
Mr Crutcher died from "a penetrating gunshot wound of chest" and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office.
Officer Shelby is charged with "becoming emotionally involved to the point that she over reacted", according to Thursday's court document.
Oklahoma law defines "heat of passion" in manslaughter cases as a strong emotion "that would naturally affect the ability to reason and render the mind incapable of cool reflection".
If convicted, she faces a minimum of four years in prison.
Officer Shelby posted a $50,000 (£38,000) bond and was released at 01:31 (05:31 GMT) on Friday, minutes after arriving for a booking photo, according to jail records.
The affidavit says she told homicide investigators "she was in fear for her life and thought Mr Crutcher was going to kill her".
"When she began following Mr Crutcher to the vehicle with her duty weapon drawn, she was yelling for him to stop and get on his knees repeatedly," it says.
The affidavit says Mr Crutcher was not responding to Officer Shelby's verbal commands and was walking away from her with his hands held up.
Prosecutors say Officer Shelby either killed the father-of-four impulsively in a fit of anger, or that she wrongly killed him as she sought to detain him.
Police acknowledge that Mr Crutcher did not have a gun on him or in his vehicle.
The affidavit also indicates that Officer Shelby "cleared the driver's side front" of Mr Crutcher's vehicle before she began interacting with him.
This would indicate she had checked whether there was a gun on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Mr Crutcher's twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher, said her family welcomed the charge.
Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons said: "We are happy that charges were brought, but let me clear - the family wants and deserves full justice."
Dashcam and aerial footage does not offer a clear view of the moment Officer Shelby fired the single shot that killed Mr Crutcher.
Her lawyer has said she opened fire when Mr Crutcher began to reach into his vehicle window.
But the Crutcher family lawyers say enhanced video from a police helicopter shows the vehicle's window was closed.
Officer Shelby encountered Mr Crutcher's vehicle on a city street, straddling the centre line, as she made her way to a domestic violence call.
Police say a vial of the drug PCP was found in the vehicle.
The shooting followed a long history of troubled race relations in Tulsa, dating to the city's 1921 race riot that left about 300 black residents dead.

The suspect, named in media reports as Adam Lanza, was not "voluntarily let in", said Lt Paul Vance.
He said police had found "very good evidence" which would help them establish a motive.
The only person hurt in the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School would be "instrumental" in the inquiry, he said.
By Laura TrevelyanBBC News, Newtown
Newtown, Connecticut, is a vale of tears this bright, wintry Saturday morning.
Dr Jeannie Pasacreta, a nurse practitioner and psychologist in this picture postcard New England town, told me that neighbours were cancelling Christmas parties and taking down decorations, unable to celebrate amidst such searing grief.
Grief counsellors arrived at the firehouse where families have been waiting before going to identify their dead children.
Firefighters laid flowers at the white sign which says "Sandy Hook school, visitors welcome". That spot is rapidly becoming a makeshift memorial. A couple laid a bouquet, then embraced one another, weeping as they walked away.
People are at a loss, said Dr Pasacreta, who believes the lesson of this killing is to give more help to those showing signs of mental illness.
As reporters from around the world gathered outside the firehouse, there was a chilling reminder of what had happened. A black medical examiner's truck passed us, pulling a huge white refrigerated vehicle that is likely to have served as a mortuary for those killed in the shooting. This reporter wept at the thought of the children's bodies inside.
Grief amid Christmas scenes
The gunman killed his mother at the home they shared before driving to the school in her car and opening fire. Reports say the guns used in the attacks were registered to her.
President Obama has urged "meaningful action" against gun crime in the US in the wake of the attack.
"As a country we have been through this too many times," he said in an emotional White House address.
"We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."
The children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary were aged between five and 10, although the exact ages of the victims have not been revealed.
All the victims have now been identified, Lt Vance said, and their names would be released later. Principal Dawn Hochsprung is believed to be among them.
Initial reports suggested the gunman's mother, believed to be Nancy Lanza, may have worked at the school.
However, school superintendent Janet Robinson told NBC News on Saturday: "We have no Nancy Lanza in our database. She may have been a substitute teacher, but in terms of being a full-time employee, she's not."
Friday's killings took place in two rooms within a single section of the school, police have said. The shooting lasted just a few minutes.
As they heard the shots, teachers in other parts of the building tried to protect children by locking doors and ushering them into closets.
"I told them we had to be absolutely quiet, because I was just so afraid if he did come in, then he would hear us and just start shooting the door," said teacher Kaitlin Roig.
"I said to them, 'I need you to know that I love you all very much and that it's going to be okay', because I thought that was the last thing they were ever going to hear."
Library clerk Maryann Jacob described telling 18 children to crawl into a storage room, before barricading the door with a filing cabinet. "We set them up with paper and crayons," she said.
Dr Jeannie Pasacreta, a nurse practitioner and psychologist who has been advising parents on how to talk to their children, says neighbours have been cancelling Christmas parties and taking down decorations.
Officials say Ms Hochsprung was killed while lunging at the gunman, AP news agency reported. Board of Education chairwoman Debbie Liedlien said administrators were emerging from a meeting when the gunman forced his way into the school, and they ran toward them.
Early reports named 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, of Hoboken, New Jersey, as the gunman, but unnamed officials later said his brother Adam was the suspect.
Ryan Lanza was questioned by police, US media reported, but has not been named as a suspect.
In a separate development, police in Oklahoma have arrested a teenager for allegedly plotting to shoot and bomb students at his school in Bartlesville. Sammie Eaglebear Chavez, 18, is said to have tried to convince other students to help him carry out an attack.
The attack at Newtown is the second deadliest shooting attack at a US school or university.
In 2007, a student at Virginia Tech university killed 32 people and injured many more.
It was his first acknowledgement that discussions are ongoing.
The UN recently denied media reports that a visit which included a meeting with leader Kim Jong-un had been confirmed for this week
The two Koreas are scheduled to hold rare talks on Thursday aimed at improving relations.
The meeting would be the first between the two sides since August when tensions bubbled over into a brief exchange of fire at the heavily guarded border.
On Tuesday North Korea criticised the South for staging a live-fire drill near their disputed sea border saying it might respond to the "confrontation".
Mr Ban, who is a former South Korean foreign minister, has repeatedly said he is willing to "play any constructive role" to work for peace, stability and dialogue on the Korean Peninsula.
A planned visit by him to North Korea in May was abruptly cancelled.
But then last week, South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited an unnamed official saying a visit had been scheduled. The media reports sparked a denial from the United Nations.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Mr Ban said there had been "positive signs" about a future visit.
"We are discussing when would be the good time for me to visit the North, but so far nothing has been decided," he said, adding that he was working to make the trip "at the earliest time".
If the visit goes ahead, Mr Ban would only be the third UN chief to visit the North, which faces UN sanctions because of its nuclear weapons programme.
The two Koreas remain technically at war as no peace treaty was signed after the 1950-1953 war.
Thomas de Maiziere told the BBC he supported the Schengen Agreement, but that it could be "in danger".
He also called on Britain to accept more migrants.
Germany expects to receive 800,000 asylum applications this year alone, far more than other EU states.
"Of course Britain has a special role - it is not part of Schengen," Mr de Maiziere said. "But all EU countries must become more aware of their responsibilities."
The Schengen area is made up of 26 European countries, mostly in the EU, which have abolished border controls and established common rules on asylum.
But Mr de Maiziere said this has been threatened by countries failing to adhere to the principle that responsibility for processing claims lies with the country that played the biggest part in the applicant's entry to the EU.
The principle is enshrined in the Dublin Regulation. Most of the migrants crossing the Mediterranean arrive in Greece and Italy first, where the authorities say they cannot cope with the numbers. Under Schengen, many migrants then head north, hoping for asylum elsewhere in the EU.
"If nobody sticks to the law, then Schengen is in danger, that's why we urgently need European solutions," he said.
His comments come amid what one EU official called "the worst refugee crisis since the Second World War".
The border agency Frontex has said some 340,000 migrants arrived in the EU this year alone, many of whom travelled in dangerous, rickety boats to Italy and Greece.
On Friday, Macedonian police fired tear gas at crowds of migrants at the Greek border, trying to enter the country to travel north.
The 33-year-old ended last season on-loan with the club from Scunthorpe, scoring once in seven matches as they suffered relegation to League Two.
He confirmed to BBC Radio Humberside last month that he would be returning to the Keepmoat Stadium.
"We want to be aggressive in the market and the club have given me the chance to go and get the players I want," boss Darren Ferguson told the club website.

Liverpool City Council said it had been forced to pay out after thousands of tonnes of waste were dumped at vacant industrial sites in Merseyside.
The authority believes the waste is being moved from other parts of the UK in a "highly sophisticated operation".
People are being urged to pass on any information following incidents in Everton, Garston, Speke and Aintree.
The council has released photographs of a lorry suspected of being involved in one incident at Wilbraham Street in Everton in August.
Councillor Steve Munby, cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said: "This is a highly sophisticated operation taking place during the day using professional equipment with workers in hi-vis jackets.
"In most cases people don't think it is suspicious and just think it is normal activity on an industrial estate.
"The fact of the matter is that this is illegal dumping of household waste on a massive scale."
Anyone with information is urged to contact the council or Crimestoppers.
Police said the Stagecoach bus came to rest against the property at 47 Lockerbie Road at around 16:10 on Wednesday.
The incident also involved a BMW Series 5 car, driven by a 63-year-old man, and a parked BMW Series 3.
There were eight passengers on the bus at the time but just two people suffered minor injuries.
The bus driver and a 67-year-old female passenger received bruising and soft tissue injuries, according to police.
Lockerbie Road was closed for around two hours following the accident, near the junction with Balmoral Road.
Police appealed for information from anyone who witnessed the incident.
A spokeswoman for Stagecoach West Scotland said the firm would carry out a full investigation and help police with their inquiries.
She added: "Our first thoughts are for the welfare of those affected by the incident. Safety is our absolute priority."
Pienaar, who is leaving Ulster at the end of this season, sustained the injury in the warm-up before Saturday's defeat by the Ospreys.
The South African, 33, started Saturday's contest but was forced off after 20 minutes.
Ulster's hopes of reaching the play-offs semi-finals now look remote.
Les Kiss' side are now five points behind fourth-placed Ospreys and only a huge bonus-point victory over the leaders this weekend - allied to a heavy Ospreys defeat - would see Ulster sneaking into the semi-finals.
Pienaar will round off his Ulster playing career in the game the Barbarians at Kingspan Stadium on 1 June.
Stuart Olding will miss the Leinster game after picking up a leg injury in Saturday's defeat while Charles Piutau also picked up a knock in the weekend game.

The play is made up of four monologues - with the three characters only coming together at the end to take their bow, on the stark set designed by Es Devlin.
Shambolic faith healer Frank, played by Stephen Dillane, has been touring the villages of Wales, Ireland and Scotland for years with his wife Grace (McKee) and his manager Teddy (Ron Cook, returning to a role he last played 26 years ago), with limited success and funds.
Most of the time no actual healing takes place - but what actually has entailed depends on whose version of events you believe, with each character weaving a slightly different tale from the threads of their memory.
One critic even declared it as the "ideal post-Brexit play", because of its "themes of miracle cures, bitter exile and fallible memory".
"The brilliant thing about seeing any piece of work is how you bring your own interpretation of it," said McKee.
"One of the things which initially hooked me is how Brian explores how we use memory - how we use it to validate ourselves in the present, and to protect ourselves. That theme is something that really interested me."
Donmar Warehouse executive producer Kate Pakenham said Friel had approached director Lyndsey Turner back in 2014 to direct Faith Healer. It makes it the third play by the writer - who died in October - she has directed at the Donmar.
"It was a gift to Lyndsey and to the Donmar and so it was very special," Pakenham said.
"It's been very special to take on the responsibility of that gift and try to give a new production for a new generation."
She said it was "not a memorial performance", but a celebratory one, adding "there will be many other performances of Brian Friel's great works".
McKee added: "It's a celebration, pure and simple."
Cook said of reprising the role of Cockney Teddy, who provides some welcome moments of comedy in what is, at times, a heart-breaking play: "In my whole career, it's the only part which I've ever pursued and wanted to do again. And I wanted to do that because this is a great, great play."
The Guardian's Michael Billington gave it five stars, saying it "contradicts our theatre's trend towards ever greater visual sophistication by asserting the power of the word".
He said McKee was "unforgettable" as Grace, adding: "More than ever, the play struck me as a masterpiece: One in which Friel wrestles with the artist's dependence on the unpredictability of inspiration."
Mark Shenton, in The Stage, also awarded Faith Healer five stars.
"Action is all described, not shown; but the poetic grace and feeling of Friel's script is achingly inhabited in the spellbinding intensity of the narrators," he said. "It becomes like three of the best one-person plays I've ever seen, performed back-to-back."
The Daily Mail's Quentin Letts, complained the pace was "treacly", Dillane's delivery was "gluey" and McKee was "a bore" as Grace. He praised Cook however, and awarded it three stars.
The Arts Desk said it was "brilliantly acted" and "utterly compelling". Aleks Sierz said: "This revival is verbally hypnotic, emotionally intense and compellingly ambiguous. Plays rarely tell us so directly what it feels like to be human - this one does. And then some."
Alexander Pacteau, 21, was jailed for a minimum of 23 years after admitting bludgeoning the 24-year-old with a spanner and strangling her in his car.
He then attempted to dispose of Ms Buckley's body in a vat of chemicals at a farm outside Glasgow.
The papers were lodged at the Criminal Court of Appeal in Edinburgh earlier in the week.
At his sentencing in the High Court in Glasgow on 8 September, Judge Lady Rae said Pacteau had carried out a "brutal, senseless and motiveless attack on a defenceless young woman".
Pacteau originally faced a second charge of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by misleading police and trying to conceal Miss Buckley's body.
The Crown withdrew the charge before his plea and his solicitor John Scullion QC suggested his actions after the killing should not therefore be regarded when considering sentence.
During the sentencing, Lady Rae told the court she regretted that the Crown had withdrawn a charge relating to Pacteau's actions after the murder, saying it "tied her hands" to some extent in relation to the sentence.
But she added: "I have come to the view that I cannot ignore your conduct after the killing."
A Scottish Courts spokesman said: "Alexander Pacteau lodged a notice of intention to appeal against sentence on 16 September 2015."
Wales need one point to reach next summer's European Championship finals in France.
They face Bosnia away in Zenica on 10 October and host Andorra at Cardiff City Stadium the following Tuesday.
"We don't want to rely on one more game, it would be nice to get it done as soon as possible," Davies said.
Chris Coleman's side are unbeaten at the top of Group B as they bid to reach the finals of a major tournament for the first time since the 1958 World Cup.
Former Swansea left-back Davies is confident the team can get a result against a side which they held to a goalless draw at Cardiff City Stadium in October 2014.
"It's the last hurdle now and we've got to put the performance in to get us over," Davies added.
"We know as players how big it is and the effort we've put in to get this far. Now it's just about crossing the line.
"We are confident and we've put good performances in throughout the group to put us in this situation where we can feel like that."
It has revised in a downward direction its projections for the belated recovery in GDP, productivity (or output per hour worked) and living standards.
And what underlies not exactly pessimism but a tempering of bullishness is its new analysis that a disproportionate number of new jobs in the economy are lower skilled and less productive.
In that sense, it has reinforced Labour's concern that the revival of our economy was not doing enough to make most people richer - though, to state the obvious, a bit too late to lend credibility to Ed Miliband's campaign.
That said, earnings figures released today show an acceleration in the rise in weekly earnings, to 4.3% for the private sector in March - a rate of increase similar (at last, some would say) to earnings inflation before the Great Recession of 2008.
But (and it is a big but) austerity still seems to rule in the public sector, because pay and bonuses there actually fell 0.9%.
And these are one-month figures, which can be volatile.
That said, it shows that zero inflation has not engendered pernicious wage deflation.
So what are the striking changes in the Bank's prognostications?
Well, it has downgraded growth in GDP or national income from 2.9% this year and next, to 2.5% and 2.6% respectively.
The forecast for growth has been reduced because of the rise in the pound, which will choke off exports, a fall in housing construction, an expectation that interest rates will rise a bit earlier than thought a few weeks ago (more on this below) and also that weakening I mentioned in productivity growth.
In fact the Bank expects output per hour to rise just 0.25% this year, or so close to zero as to be almost meaningless, which is down a half percentage point compared with what it expected in February.
That said it expects a recovery in productivity to 1.25% next year and 1.75% in 2017.
There are three things to say about this belated and mild expected restoration of productivity increments.
First that rate of growth would be very disappointing compared with the pre-crisis average growth rate of 2.25%.
Second, productivity today is 16% below where it would have been if pre-crisis trends had been sustained - which is an important way of understanding the underlying damage of the crash to our prosperity.
Third the Bank may hope that there will be a belated productivity recovery but its deputy governor Ben Broadbent concedes that the "biggest single uncertainty" is the productivity outlook.
Yikes.
Which means living standards may not rise even as fast as the Bank's downgraded expectations - of a rise in real or inflation-adjusted post-tax income of 2.5% next year (compared with February's prediction of 3%).
Oh, and just to remind you of the point of all this soothsaying by the Bank, the Governor Mark Carney sees inflation rising back to the 2% target over the two-year policy horizon. That is based on market expectations that the interest rate it sets will finally rise from the current 0.5% rate to 0.75% some time between April and July next year.
So interest rates to rise in roughly a year.
You have been told.
In a decree issued by outgoing interim president Adly Mansour, sexual harassment is now a crime punishable by up to five years in jail.
Until now, Egypt has not had a law defining sexual harassment.
A 2013 UN study said that nine out of 10 Egyptian women had experienced some form of sexual assault, ranging from minor harassment to rape.
Human rights campaigners have describe the extent of the problem in Egypt as "horrifying".
Incidents have soared in the three years since the 2011 overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.
Under the new laws, harassers face from six months to five years in prison. The longer sentences are reserved for offenders who hold a position of power over their victims such as being a woman's superior at work or being armed with a weapon.
Presidential spokesman Ehab Badawi said the decree defines a sexual harasser as a person seeking to achieve "an interest of a sexual nature".
Repeat offenders would see their sentences doubled, he said.
As well as jail terms, offenders face fines of up to 5,000 Egyptian pounds ($714; £415).
However, Fathi Farid, a founder of the "I Saw Harassment" campaign that documents assaults on women, said the new laws were "of no value" as they gave judges the right to choose between a fine or jail.
He also said the punishments were not enough for cases involving sexual assaults by mobs.
Seren Bernard, 14, was found dead in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, in April 2012.
The Milford Haven hearing was told she suffered hallucinations and an imaginary friend told her to do things.
Sarah Pollock claimed her daughter's care was inadequate and said she had not received sufficient therapy.
Ms Pollock told the inquest: "In my view they (agencies involved in her care) had willingly and knowingly exposed Seren to harm."
The coroner has been examining events leading up to Seren's death from when she went missing for 10 days in September 2011, until her body was found seven months later.
A barrister representing child adolescent mental health support, which was responsible for Seren's therapy, said she discussed her imaginary friend "Jane" with a support worker on two occasions.
But Ms Pollock said she was never informed about that or her daughter's hallucinations.
The inquest was told Seren revealed she had had suicidal thoughts since childhood during a psychiatric assessment.
Seren's aunt, Tracy Norton, said her niece displayed odd behaviour, including sleeping on the floor and trying to pierce her lip with a school compass.
"Social services told me this was normal behaviour for a 14-year-old girl," she said.
Ms Norton added that she did not think "anybody could have saved my niece," but that things had to change and people needed to admit their mistakes.
Pembrokeshire council's barrister said the authority had to carry out a "difficult balancing act" because Seren had said she did not want to live with her family or have information passed to them.
A serious case review last year found Seren's death under the care of social services might not have been preventable and police ruled out crime.
The inquest continues.
His team-mate Nico Rosberg reclaimed the lead by eight points with victory at Marina Bay as Hamilton came third.
"It doesn't always go well and this has been a difficult weekend for me and my side of the garage," Hamilton said.
"But we will reunite and regather and understand what went wrong and try to rectify it for the next race."
It was Rosberg's third victory in succession and eighth of the year, compared with six for Hamilton.
But the world champion pointed to the fact that he had already come back from a 43-point deficit to Rosberg after the first four races of the season as a reason for optimism.
"All in all, with everything that's gone on this year, I'm still in the fight," Hamilton said. "There's still a long way to go and I'm going to give it everything I've got."
Hamilton said he had never got on top of the car all weekend.
"Struggled with the balance, struggled getting on to the pace myself and then in the race struggled with the brakes, which meant I had to drive slow until they cooled down, which they never did until close to the end," he said.
But he paid tribute to the performance of Rosberg, whose victory was founded on a brilliant pole position lap, which was 0.7 seconds quicker than Hamilton could manage in qualifying.
"I don't really have a reaction [to losing the championship lead]," Hamilton said. "Nico did a fantastic job and the points he gained today he fully deserved."
Rosberg, as he has done all season, minimised the importance of the championship position between the two drivers.
"I'm not focused on points," he said. "As I always say, I'm just happy with the win."
The move follows years of briefings by the police and security sources which said that while dissidents had a high level of intent to mount attacks outside Northern Ireland, they lacked the capacity or capability to do so.
That has now changed.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) warned earlier this year that dissidents have shown a range of capabilities over the past 18 months which they described as deeply concerning.
These include the use of home made bombs, referred to by the police as Improvised Explosive Devices, improvised rocket launchers, close quarter shootings, and under vehicle bombs.
While the government announces updates on threat levels, the assessment is made by the security service MI5, with input from the PSNI.
This recalibration of the threat level clearly suggests they believe dissidents are actively planning to exploit their increased capabilities by exporting them to Great Britain, and that they have the capacity to do so.
No organisation was named in a written statement about the increased threat level by Home Secretary Theresa May on Wednesday, but it is understood this assessment reflects concerns about the activities of the group widely referred to as the New IRA.
It was formed in the summer of 2012, from the amalgamation of a number of dissident organisations.
The group killed prison officer Adrian Ismay using an under car bomb in March.
In a statement to the BBC at the time it warned that further attacks would follow.
Increasing the threat level from "moderate" to "substantial" means the likelihood of an attack in Great Britain has gone up from "possible but not likely" to "a strong possibility".
It does not mean MI5 has intelligence which suggests that a dissident republican attack on a target in England, Scotland or Wales is about to take place some time soon.
If that was the case, the threat level would have been raised to "severe", which means an attack is regarded as "highly likely."
The threat level dissidents pose in Northern Ireland has been characterised as "severe" for just over six years.
"This does not mean the balloon has suddenly gone up," explained a well placed security source.
"Clearly there is an increased level of concern about the capacity of dissidents to mount attacks outside Northern Ireland, but there is nothing to suggest that they are in a position to do so at this time."
The government, MI5 and police will hope the public announcement about an increased threat level will have a deterrent effect.
Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr, the officer who leads PSNI efforts to combat the dissident threat, said the announcement was "about increasing awareness and encouraging vigilance."
But the announcement also signals to dissident republicans that the security services are aware of their intentions, and will heighten their efforts to thwart them.
In addition to encouraging increased public vigilance, it is aimed at unsettling any dissident republican units planning attacks on individuals or buildings in Great Britain.
The decision to escalate the threat level in GB comes weeks after the PSNI issued a series of stark warnings about the likelihood of dissident attacks in Northern Ireland in the run up to the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
At the time, senior police officers said there were "several hundred" active dissidents, and expressed "grave concerns" about their intentions, capacity and capability.
Those warnings and public statements about enhanced security measures to combat the enhanced threat appeared to have a deterrent effect as dissidents were not able to mount the attacks police said they feared.
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland said the force had completed all recommendations it had made on the issue in a report two years ago.
Police officers are allowed to search people for items such as drugs, stolen goods and weapons.
But there has been controversy over "consensual searches", where people are searched without any legal basis.
In its latest report, the inspectorate found almost all searches it audited were made using legislative powers.
In January, new rules were published by the Scottish government which will mean officers will only be able to stop and search people when they have "reasonable grounds" to do so.
If approved by parliament, the code will end consensual searches from May.
Inspectors found that all 23 recommendations for Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority, made in their initial report in March 2015, had now been completed.
HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary Derek Penman said: "In our phase 1 report we recommended a move towards legislative stop and search along with improvements in recording, training, supervision and audit which would give communities across Scotland more confidence in the use of this important operational policing tactic.
"Since our phase 1 report was published, Police Scotland has delivered substantial improvements in the way it conducts, records and monitors all of its stop and search activity."
The review found the number of recorded stop and searches had "decreased significantly", with 21,533 carried out between April and September 2016 - a 67% reduction compared with the same period in 2015.
There were no non-statutory searches recorded of children under 12 between 1 June 2015 and 30 September 2016 and only 16 statutory searches.
Other key findings include:
Mr Penman added: "Strong working relationships have been developed with key organisations representing children and young people and I welcome that the views and opinions of young people have helped shape Police Scotland's policy and procedure around stop and search.
"I also welcome the fact that Police Scotland and the SPA [Scottish Police Authority] have commissioned research and worked with academics to identify good practice and inform the use of stop and search in a local context."
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary said it now had "confidence in the accuracy and integrity" of Police Scotland's stop and search data.
Responding to the report, Ch Supt Barry McEwan, head of safer communities at Police Scotland, said: "Police Scotland recognises that stopping and searching members of the public is a significant intrusion into their personal liberty and privacy and we are committed to ensuring that all stop and search activity is carried out in a lawful, proportionate, justifiable and accountable manner.
"Stop and search is intelligence-led and a valuable policing tactic which contributes to the prevention, investigation and detection of crime while at the same time keeping people safe and improving community well-being."

The world number two won a feisty encounter 6-3 6-2 7-5, after David Goffin had earlier beaten debutant Kyle Edmund 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0.
Andy and Jamie Murray are set to team up in the doubles on Saturday, before the reverse singles on Sunday.
Britain are trying to win the team title for the first time since 1936.

"Obviously on paper it's what people would have expected," GB captain Leon Smith said of the day one score.
He will now hope that a combination of the Murray brothers in doubles, and Andy Murray in the reverse singles, will secure Britain's first Davis Cup victory for 79 years.
Smith retains the option of bringing in James Ward for Edmund, should the contest come down to a decisive fifth rubber on Sunday.
The best-of-five tie takes place over three days at the Flanders Expo, with around 1,300 travelling fans among 13,000 in the arena, and security tight following the recent high state of alert in Belgian capital Brussels.
Edmund might have raised the prospect of an unlikely 2-0 lead, but once again it was Murray who got the scoreboard moving for Britain.
There was plenty of tension on display, despite the regulation look to the scoreline, and the Briton was docked a point during a tetchy third set for repeated audible obscenities.
"I didn't actually hear I'd been given the second warning," said Murray. "It's obviously very loud after the point.
"That was why I went to speak to the umpire, because literally I had no idea about either of the warnings because you can't hear anything on the court. So I'm surprised he could hear what I was saying."
Belgium captain Johan van Herck was warned about the noise made by the home crowd as Murray played the pantomime villain, celebrating wildly when he saved a set point in the third.
A straightforward afternoon had looked on the cards when he broke four times across the first two sets, but by midway through the third, he and Smith were berating umpire Carlos Ramos and the match referee as the atmosphere crackled.
Bemelmans played a superb game to break for a 4-2 lead but it only served to fire up Murray, who hit straight back and moved 6-5 up after one blistering forehand return, before closing it out on serve.
"The crowd were getting wound up and you have to use that your advantage," he said. "It was a good atmosphere and it is going to be tough over the next couple of days."

Edmund, the British number two, was distraught at the end of his Davis Cup debut, after a spectacular start had turned into a collapse with the loss of 14 of the last 15 games.
"You're playing for your country, you're playing for your team-mates," said the Yorkshireman. "You feel like you've let them down.
"I'll look back on it and I'll say I did my best. But you're right in the moment, you're emotionally attached to it. You're just disappointed you couldn't do it for your team."
Asked if he would be able to play again on Sunday if required, Edmund insisted: "I'll be ready to go."
Edmund became the sixth man in 115 years to make his Davis Cup debut in the final, and for two sets looked like becoming the first debutant to win a live rubber.
He saved two break points in a gripping opening game that lasted 12 minutes, and went on to dominate for the next hour with his huge forehand.
Goffin, 24, needed 34 minutes to get on the scoreboard at 5-1 down and his game all but disintegrated under heavy hitting as Edmund took seven straight games, and a two-set lead.
A wayward forehand from the Briton early in the third handed Goffin the break, and at last a lead, and the Belgian grew in confidence as Edmund wilted.
The forehand that had provided 14 winners in the first two sets produced just four in the third and fourth as he was quickly hauled back to two sets all, and a fifth set loomed for only the second time in his career.
Goffin had four five-set wins to his name, and with the crowd now well and truly energised he reeled off 14 of 15 games to claim a first victory from two sets down after two hours and 47 minutes.
"I was cramping up," Edmund added. "I lost confidence in my movement and it was bugging me."
Goffin said: "Kyle played an unbelievable first two sets. He was really aggressive with his forehand. I tried to stay calm, to manage it very well. People expected me to win the match, and that's what I did."
Davis Cup ties usually get a little overheated at some stage, but it was still something of a surprise to see just how tightly wound everybody became on the first afternoon of the final.
Crowds started gathering several hours before the start of play, perhaps with the widely publicised increase in security checks in mind, and the visiting support seemed to account for more than the official 10% of spectators.
Amid the giant cardboard cut-outs of Belgian players' heads, and the well-practised team chanting of the British supporters, there were a few early casualties of the ample refreshment on offer.
Interruptions to play and calls for quiet from the umpire are nothing new in Davis Cup ties, although the Belgian tactic of trying to "sshhh" Murray between serves was eventually deemed out of bounds by umpire Ramos.
"I didn't think they crossed the line, to be honest," said Murray.
"But as the server, I'm not going to serve when the crowd are making any noise because it's off-putting. That's something that in tennis is a rule really."
Belgium's captain Van Herck said: "I feel the crowd for a Davis Cup was very respectful. OK, there was noise, but there will always be noise. I didn't feel like we should get any warning or discussion about the public."
The cash and stock deal values Pace at £1.4bn.
The combined company will have its tax base in the UK, allowing it to pay a lower corporate tax rate. The firm's operational headquarters will remain in the US.
Founded in 1982, Pace has manufactured more than 100 million set-top boxes and its customers include Sky and AT&T.
Under the deal, Arris shareholders will own 76% of the combined company and Pace shareholders will own the remaining 24%.
"We believe that the combination of the complementary Arris and Pace businesses will create a platform for future growth above and beyond our standalone potential," Allan Leighton, chairman of Pace said in a statement.
Pace shareholders will receive £1.325 in cash and 0.1455 Arris shares for each share held.
Bristol City Council spent £1.2m improving the Bear Pit on the James Barton Roundabout in 2014.
Bearpit Social Cafe owner Miriam Delogu said pedestrians trying to get through the area are "just getting harassed or intimidated".
The city council said it is working with police to address the problem.
A council spokesman said: "We are working proactively with the police and traders within the area to address these problems.
"We have used our powers to prevent a number of individuals from entering the Bearpit and we have obtained two injunctions, which has led to an arrest.
"As well as this, we have helped two people back into accommodation and are working with another two people to try to find a similar outcome."
In 2014 the council built new pedestrian and off-road cycle routes aimed at making the area more welcoming.
A community gardening project was also set up by the Grow Wild charity to cultivate wild flowers.
Ms Delogu added: "We've noticed we've been having to clear up large messes, you can tell there have been parties.
"We've been having to scrape off faeces, blood and vomit on the deck (an outside seating area for customers).
"Every morning we've been delayed opening up and sometimes we've been getting aggression because no-one likes to be woken up."
Ch Insp Andy Bennett said: "It's the coming together of some really complex social issues, we've seen a massive increase in homelessness, we're seeing an increase in alcohol and drug addiction and the use of legal highs."
He added that a squat was closed down eight weeks ago so rough sleepers were going back to the Bearpit.
"We have to problem-solve in a more sustainable way," added Mr Bennett.
Webb was made available to gain match fitness following his recovery from an ankle injury.
He was replaced at the break by Matthew Aubrey and will rejoin Wales' preparations to face Italy in their Six Nations start in Rome on 5 February.
Ospreys rose to second in Pool Two, on 10 points apiece with leaders Exeter.
But the focus of Wales fans was on Webb who again expressed confidence in his conditioning with the Six Nations in mind before rejoining the Wales squad on Monday
"I'm not just going in there to make up the numbers," said Webb.
"I'll be going in there to fight for that jersey back. I feel fit, ready and raring to go."
The 28-year-old, who has 23 Wales caps, scored on his 60-minute return from an ankle injury in the 26-21 European Challenge Cup win at Newcastle last weekend.
"I'm 100% fit. I feel good. I didn't want to come off last week, but was just sticking to the guidelines with the physios and conditioning coaches and same again in this game," added Webb.
"They know best, they know my body.
"I don't want to come off after 60. I don't want to come off after 40.
"I feel I can go on for a lot longer. I've had a good block of rehab and fitness training to get me back where I need to be and I'm loving it at the moment."
Against Bristol, full-back Dafydd Howells went over for a try converted by Luke Price and Max Crumpton hit back for the visitors before the break.
Replacement Welsh hooker Marc Jones' try put Bristol ahead going into the latter stages, but Bath-bound open-side Sam Underhill's late score and Price's conversion ensured Ospreys' win.
Ospreys: Dafydd Howells, Jay Baker, Joe Thomas, Jonathan Spratt, Ben John, Luke Price, Rhys Webb (capt); Gareth Thomas, Scott Otten, Rhodri Jones, James Ratti, Adam Beard, Joe Bearman, Sam Underhill, Rob McCusker.
Replacements: Ifan Phillips, Rowan Jenkins, Daniel Suter, Tyler Ardron, Will Jones, Matthew Aubrey, Phil Jones, Tom O'Flaherty.
Bristol: Jack Wallace; David Lemi, Will Hurrell, Tusi Pisi, Tom Varndell; Billy Searle, Alby Mathewson; Jack O'Connell, Max Crumpton, Gaston Cortes, Dan Tuohy, Ben Glynn, Nick Fenton-Wells, Jack Lam (capt), Mitch Eadie.
Replacements: Marc Jones, Jamal Ford-Robinson, James Hall, Mark Sorenson, Giorgi Nemsadze, Rhodri Williams, Thretton Palamo, Jack Tovey.
Louise Burns, 35, said she was "shocked and appalled" at being asked by the luxury hotel to use a large napkin to cover herself while she breastfed.
The protest's organisers, Free to Feed, wants the hotel to change its policy.
Claridge's said it "embraced" breastfeeding but "urged mothers to be discreet."
The women gathered at the five-star hotel in Mayfair at about 14:00 GMT. BBC reporter Alice Bhandhukravi said about 25 mothers were breastfeeding outside the hotel.
Katie Pirson, who took part in the protest, said: "I believe my baby has the right to be fed whenever he's hungry.
"I think in 2014 we shouldn't have to worry about how babies are fed, just that they are fed."
Emily Slough, who founded the group after she was called a "tramp" on Facebook for breastfeeding in public, said: "Every time something like this happens, there's an uproar of people who disagree with it.
"So I think it's really important to get the message across and let breastfeeding mothers know they are protected in law to breastfeed where they wish to breastfeed, and that they should do so without any hassle or trouble from anybody else."
Emma Bullock, 25, who had helped organise the peaceful protest, arrived at the demo with her 11-month-old daughter Eleanor.
She said: "Breastfeeding is normal and natural. I might not like it if someone chews with their mouth open, but I won't object."
But Lindsay Jardine, 35, said Claridge's had been perfectly right to tell Mrs Burns to cover up.
She said: "If I was eating there I wouldn't want to see someone feeding their baby in front of me. And it's cruel for the babies, being out in such weather."
Claridge's has not yet commented on the protest.
The 2010 Equality Act makes it unlawful for a business to discriminate against a breastfeeding woman.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage got involved in the debate earlier in the week, saying in a radio interview although he has no problem with breastfeeding, businesses could ask mothers to "perhaps sit in a corner".
He added it should be for businesses to decide their own rules but it should be recognised that "some people feel very embarrassed" by breastfeeding in public.
In a later statement, Mr Farage accused the media of misinterpreting him.
He said: "Let me get this clear, as I said on the radio and as I repeat now, I personally have no problem with mothers breastfeeding wherever they want."
A Downing Street spokeswoman said David Cameron "shares the view of the NHS, which is that breastfeeding is completely natural and it's totally unacceptable for any women to be made to feel uncomfortable when breastfeeding in public".

Online streaming services, from the likes of Spotify, Deezer and MixRadio, have flourished along with the rise of the connected smartphone and tablet computers.
In the UK, about 7.4 billion tracks were streamed on audio services in 2013, twice the total recorded in 2012, says BPI, the music industry trade body.
While digital accounted for 50% of UK record industry trade revenues last year, streaming brought in 10%, and this figure is rising fast.
As a sign of streaming's maturity, listening data will now be incorporated in the UK's official singles charts for the first time from July, the Official Charts Company announced this week.
"Last year we saw some growth in music industry revenues - the first time in ages," says Gennaro Castaldo, spokesman for the BPI. "We're pointing forward again and streaming is helping with that recovery."
Streaming has its critics, not least those artists and labels who believe the service providers do not pay enough in royalties. Despite this, support is growing from within the industry.
"There are still a lot of things that need to be worked out around revenue sharing," says Jon Webster, chief executive of Music Managers Forum (MMF), which has about 400 members in the UK representing more than 1,000 artists worldwide.
"But any artist has to be on a streaming service now - it's what consumers want," he says. "It's part of the future. And if you're successful, you can still make a considerable amount of money from it."
The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) is an organisation campaigning for fairness and equality for artists in the music industry.
It includes well-known figures on its board such as Billy Bragg, Dave Rowntree from Blur, Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, and Annie Lennox.
It is also broadly supportive.
"Technology has had a disruptive effect on the music industry without doubt, but artists can now have a dialogue with fans that they never had before," says FAC board member Paul Pacifico.
"Streaming is a model that promotes the discovery of new music. Just how the money is divided is still up for further discussion."
One of the largest streaming services, Swedish company Spotify, says about 70% of its revenues from advertising and subscriptions goes back to rights holders - the record labels, collecting societies and publishing companies.
It says it has paid out more than $1bn (£587m; 735m euros) in royalties since its launch in 2008 to the end of 2013.
Spotify's launch came not long after Apple unleashed its first smartphone on the world. The two technologies have gone hand in hand ever since.
Spotify now has 40 million active users worldwide, 10 million of which pay about £9.99 a month for ad-free premium content and services.
"Streaming is about access versus ownership," says Fredric Vinna, Spotify's vice-president of product. "Now you can have up to 30 million songs in your pocket."
"We want to connect fans and artists, fans and brands, fans with fellow fans," he says.
Complex machine learning algorithms and big data analytics can guess and learn users' musical tastes - based on their previous listening preferences; age, gender and location; the playlists they create; even what time of day it is.
This kind of personalisation is key to streaming services, argues Andy Gaitskell-Kendrick, head of global product marketing for entertainment at Microsoft, which owns streaming service Nokia Mix Radio.
"Every time you log in we understand a little bit more about your tastes and how they change throughout the week," he says.
"We will even have movement sensors in Windows phones that will help us match a song list to the cadence of your exercise routine."
But Mr Vinna is also keen to stress the human element of Spotify's service.
"It's not all about algorithms," he says. "We have a big staff of music experts creating hand-picked playlists and making sure all the data behind the recommendations is correct - a lot of the work is manual and human.
"We don't want every aspect of the app to be personalised - we want users to step out of the bubble sometimes."
Mr Gaitskell-Kendrick agrees, saying: "We think of people as listeners - we want to help them find stuff they've not heard before."
When digital downloads took off in the late Nineties, file-sharing services like Napster blossomed, too.
The industry went into a tailspin as music sales virtually halved over the next decade.
"In 1999 it looked like the Napsters of this world and pirate networks were in the process of dismantling the industry," says Mr Gaitskell-Kendrick. "Consumers were ahead of the game."
One 2007 study by the Institute for Policy Innovation estimated that illegal downloading was costing the US economy $12.5bn (£7.3bn; 9.2bn euros) a year.
"The industry didn't know how to respond to technology at the start," says MMF's Mr Webster.
"Record labels were used to being in control. But you always have to let people consume music in the way they want to consume it. Trying to control this doesn't work," he says.
Labels have had to adapt or die, he believes, especially given the rise of companies such as BMG Rights Management and Kobalt offering record label services without insisting on owning the rights to the music.
"Artists are no longer subservient to record labels - technology has been incredibly empowering for them, giving them access to new fans from Ethiopia to Brazil," he says.
Former artists are also finding they can find new audiences, argues Mr Pacifico.
"For example, technology has been a massive enabler for Maceo Parker, James Brown's band leader in the seventies," he says.
And a spokesman for global rights agency Merlin, which represents major independent record labels, says: "Streaming drives digital growth - for one-in-five Merlin members, it accounts for more than 50% of their digital income."
Streaming is also playing an increasingly important part in the business of Big Scary Monsters, a small Oxford-based independent record label run by 30-year-old Kevin Douch.
His label represents about 10-to-15 bands at any one time, including the up-and-coming punk band Gnarwolves.
"Although the internet has always been massively important for my business, allowing me to sell direct to fans, I've always viewed streaming as a promotional tool rather than a revenue generator," he says.
"But next year Spotify will probably be responsible for the biggest slice of our digital sales as fans switch from iTunes downloads.
Some of his artists are "getting hundreds of thousands of streams through Spotify", he says, with the added bonus that they can link to merchandising on their own websites without Spotify wanting a cut of the revenue.
"Spotify could soon be that one page we point fans towards to get all the information they need about their favourite bands," he concludes.
But in Mr Douch's view, there's still nothing better than an old-fashioned vinyl record collection you can show off to your friends.
The marine biology students were taught 18m (59ft) beneath the sea on a coral reef off the coast of Indonesia.
Prof David Smith used specialised equipment audio equipment to talk to students and describe what they were seeing.
"It was a fantastic experience as I was able to use the power of observation like never before," he said.
Thirty students took part in the lectures, held on the university's annual field trip to the Wakatobi Marine National Park.
The university's Coral Reef Research Unit (CRRU) is studying the impact on coral reefs of climate change.
Prof Smith wore a full face mask which included a microphone and students wore headsets so they could hear him talk.
A hydrophone - an underwater microphone − was positioned in the water and linked to a control box and recorder on a boat.
Fifteen hours of video footage were shot during the underwater lectures, which will be used by students unable to travel to Indonesia.
"I have been on thousands of dives over the years but this was a totally new experience as I was able to explain to students exactly what they were seeing and inject more passion and feeling into the whole lecture," said Prof Smith.
"It was very special and transformed the whole experience both for me and our students."
Tilly James, a second-year marine and freshwater biology student, said: "It was an experience you simply cannot get with traditional lectures."
He also announced the lifting of travel bans for foreign journalists there.
"We need to create a sense of peace in Papua. This is just the beginning," Mr Widodo said, on a visit to the area.
Rights group have criticised Indonesia for its tough policies in Papua, where dozens have been jailed for simply raising the local flag of independence.
A low-level guerrilla organisation called the Free Papua Movement has been fighting a secessionist battle ever since Dutch colonial rule formerly ended there in 1962.
The recent developments suggest a change in policy for the government of Joko Widodo towards the region.
Joko Widodo promised to pay special attention to Indonesia's restive Papua region as soon as he took office last year.
In his second visit as president, he is trying to show that he will deliver not only economic development, but also political solutions.
Many Papuans viewed the travel restrictions for foreigners to their provinces as a way to allow the police and the military, the target of much public scorn, to operate with impunity.
While some people have applauded the decisions to release political prisoners and lift the travel ban as a step in the right direction, others remain suspicious of the government's intentions.
The five men granted clemency were convicted over a 2003 raid on an Indonesian military arms depot.
Mr Widodo met and shook hands with each of the men on Saturday, before handing them a letter confirming that the rest of their sentences had been waived, the AFP news agency reports.
"Today we are releasing these five detainees to stop the stigma of conflict in Papua," the president told reporters, speaking in the city of Jayapura.
It comes weeks after Indonesia's move to execute seven foreigners and one Indonesian national, who were convicted of drug offences, sparked international outrage.
Australia recalled its ambassador to Jakarta after two of its citizens, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were among the men executed by firing squad.
Joko Widodo, who took office in October last year, had ignored worldwide calls for the convicted prisoners to be spared.
Touching on the subject on Saturday, he told journalists that the death penalty was "still our positive law".
Papua sees regular flare-ups of violence. Thousands of Papuans have been killed in attacks and skirmishes with the Indonesian military over the last four decades.
Access to the region has been severely restricted to foreign journalists and international organisations over the years.
Twenty nine of the world's biggest drug companies will provide 4.5m euros ($5.9m; £3.9m) in the next three years to help the response to the problem.
"A global effort is needed to combat this threat," Interpol said.
The agency added that the lives of millions of people were put at risk every day because of it.
Christopher Viehbacher, the chief executive of French drugmaker Sanofi, said: "In the case of drug counterfeiting, it can mean the difference between life and death for a patient.
"It is estimated that 10% of medicines are fake and these figures can go up to 50%, particularly in some poorer countries."
The money will go towards creating a new programme to improve Interpol's fight against the counterfeit industry. Part of it will be about raising public awareness of the dangers of fake drugs - particularly online.
The World Health Organisation estimates that in more than 50% of cases, medicines bought over the internet, where the physical address is concealed, have been found to be fake.
The head of Interpol's Pharmaceutical Crime Programme, Aline Plancon, told the BBC that the funds would be used to support countries with crime detection and help them to follow up investigations.
The programme will also be tasked with rooting out and dismantling organised crime networks that sell fake brands of drugs.
Sometimes, these drugs can have fatal consequences. Last year, in Pakistan, more than a hundred heart patients died after taking counterfeit medicines.
In fact the message which seems to be trying to protect users' creative content has been around on Facebook for some time.
It encourages people to copy and paste the post to their own walls to try to stop the social network using their videos, illustrations, comics and photos.
But here's the thing... the message is useless.
Facebook already says in its terms and conditions that it doesn't own users' content.
It states: "You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings".
So the user's "Intellectual Property" or IP (that's the legal name given to "creations of the mind" like art or photography) is already protected by copyright laws. Those laws try to stop other people using your content.
But while users haven't given Facebook ownership of their content, the terms and conditions do state that they have handed over: "A non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook".
To translate - that means Facebook can use your content on its site without paying you, for promotional purposes.
And once you've uploaded content and made it public on there, there's not much you can do to stop the site using it.
"Copyright in content is generally owned by the person who creates it, unless you've created something as an employee and it doesn't apply to personal details.
You can only give someone else copyright (permission to use your content) in writing, and Facebook is clear in its T&Cs that when you use its site you are not doing that.
Therefore, Facebook doesn't own your content.
"However, when you create a Facebook profile you give the site a very wide, flexible, and (importantly) free licence to do pretty much what it likes with that content.
"It is probably true that Facebook would need permission to use your content outside the website, but this would be the case without this notice anyway.
"In short, this message should be ignored. To use a technical phrase, it's a load of rubbish."
Facebook's terms and conditions also say permission to use your content ends when you close your account, unless it's already been shared with other users.
So if you're worried, they only real solution is... don't post it.

The 78-year-old has written a letter in mitigation to the governing body and has not requested a personal hearing.
Whelan, who said he would resign as club chairman if punished, has denied making racist remarks.
He has said he was misquoted in an interview with the Guardian last month, during which he used the term "chink".
The Guardian also says the businessman said: "Jewish people chase money more than everybody else."
Whelan subsequently apologised for any offence caused by his comments in the interview, in which he was defending the appointment of Malky Mackay as the club's new manager.
The FA ruled Whelan's comments constituted an aggravated breach of rule E3[1] in that his comments were abusive and/or insulting and/or constitute improper conduct and/or bring the game into disrepute.
The governing body has also looked into other comments made by Whelan about Chinese people in a December interview with the Jewish Telegraph.
He is said to have referred to a local Chinese restaurant as "chingalings".
The captain of the Wales Five Nations Grand Slam champions in 1950 and 1952, he was also in the last Welsh side to beat the All Blacks in 1953.
He found his career in teaching, finally becoming headmaster of Birkenhead School.
His funeral was held in Llanfairfechan, Conwy county.
Around 80 mourners packed into the tiny English Methodist Church for the service.
In a tribute to his father, Mr Gwilliam's son, Peter, spoke of his prowess at both cricket and rugby and of his deep Christian faith.
Educated at Monmouthshire School and Cambridge, Pontypridd-born Mr Gwilliam went on to play for the Light Blues and appeared for Newport, Llanelli, London Welsh, Wasps, Edinburgh Wanderers and Gloucester.
He was commissioned as an officer in the Royal Tank Regiment in 1942 and saw action in Europe during the Second World War before returning to university to complete his studies.
His playing career was recognised in 2005 when he was inducted into the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame.
As an educationalist, he was described as physically imposing, religious and austere, and remembered as a strict disciplinarian.
On the field, he was described as "a cool, calculating, poker-faced player who led through applied strategic and tactical thinking" by one rugby writer, while The Times newspaper described him during the 1950 Triple Crown triumph as "the cool general who kept them together".
He had retired to live in Llanfairfechan, and died at a Deganwy nursing home on 22 December.
Heyneke Meyer's side, who beat England last weekend after losing to Ireland, went behind to Kelly Haimona's penalty.
Pat Lambie's kick levelled before Oosthuizen ploughed over from a scrum.
Haimona kicked three more points before the break, but Reinach finished an excellent move before Handre Pollard raced clear to set up Habana late on.
Despite competing well in the scrum against a South Africa side showing four changes to the one that had won 31-28 at Twickenham, Italy could not break down the visiting defence.
Habana's try was his 57th in 105 Tests and ensured that the Springboks head to Cardiff for next Saturday's match against Wales on the back of two victories.
Italy: Andrea Masi, Leonardo Sarto, Michele Campagnaro, Luca Morisi, Luke McLean, Kelly Haimona, Edoardo Gori, Matias Aguero, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Martin Castrogiovanni, Quintin Geldenhuys, Josh Furno, Alessandro Zanni, Samu Vunisa, Sergio Parisse.
Replacements: Andrea Manici, Alberto De Marchi, Dario Chistolini, Marco Bortolami, Francesco Minto, Guglielmo Palazzani, Luciano Orquera, Giulio Toniolatti.
